-Zpriiva o nablem skonu bkvalebo pl'edsedy SPJST, bratra Chernoskeho, ptiSla pozde, aby podrobnosti mohly bYti zatazeny, do minuleho eisla. Byl jsem nucen siiokojiti se pouhYrn pketiskem. anglicke zpraVy z denniho listu a jen velmi kratkYin oznamenirn umrti bratra Chernoskeho na ptedni stranee minuleho Vestniku. Teprve v tomto eisle mohu• se rosepsati obkirneji o odchodu bratra Chernoskeho, a take podotknouti, elm zesnulY byl oeskernu Zivlu v Texasu, co znamenal, pro nan SPJST, a proe nebylo mu doptano closhinZiti at do konce jako ptedseda nisi rnohutne bra,trske rodiny.

Mel jsem pirileiitost pozuati bratra Chernoskeho snag lepe neZ kterYkoliv jiriY Men jednoty. Bylo to v onom easoVein Useku, kdy pocten byl jsem. Utadem miston •eclsedy SPJ8T. Ilyli jsme taktka v kaModennirn styku. Konali jsrne easto dlouhe speleene cesty v zajmu SPJST, a nejednou jsirie spali v jednom 10ku, kdy jsme nahodon uvazli na noc u nektere krajanske rodiny. rozhovorech probirali jsme nejen zajrny sPolkove, ale easto odboeili jsme na. riane ottesy politick& hospoclalske a socialni. Nejednou zaboeili jsme do metafysiky, mystiky, theosofie, Okultisnit, a v tueni eehosi nadsmyslnehb vyrnenevail jsme mezi sebou 'myglenky; odpoutavali se od veci hmotni'rch, abychorn hledali odpovedi na otazky dirge.

Hylo to y onom Useku, kdy byl jsem jeho pomoenikein, easto.zastupcem, a take chivernikem. Nejedrion tekl mi, ze mel j§eni studovati prava, ze bych dobte svaj stfizlivY a vhly kritickY rozhied. Az jednou pii.sli jsme na rozcesti — a, to v zaleitostech Jednoty — a oba jsme raysleli, z e jsme v pravu.

Bylo to v i'etv1111 1914, kdy jsem poprve navAtivil jeho pravnickou kancelat, tenkrat ,v Rosenbergu. Pagel. jsem domu ze studii ria prazdniny a shanel jsern nejavS7delek. Bratr ChernoskY zty kratce p •ecitim otevrel svou pravnickou kancelat po clokoneeni svSrch stud.ii. jsme se jako mladi muZi, pini uMechtile ctiladosti a snaky po vyginuti; jeden s ukoneenYmi studiemi,-elruhY teprve v zaeatcich aspiraci. Od to doby stYkali jsme se dosti easto.

V piedeeCer zahkjeni devateho sjezdu SPJST kOncem eervence 1924 v Houstonu, byl jsem poladan nekterYmi delegaty, abych zjistil,- zda bratr Chernosk, zastupce tadu Jiti Podebradskf eislo 108 z Rosenbergu, by ptijal 1.I ad ptedsedy sjezdu. Mluvil jsem s nim na nadvoti sini tadu Pokrok Honstonu. Odpovedel mi, ze se neciti dosti osttilenSr v eegtine,

aby mohl zastati povinnosti sjezdovt'd ptedsedy. "Ale kdybyste mne pozdeji navrhli za ptedseclu SPJST, tak bych to prijal." S timto vzkazem gel jsem za delegaty Aneincem. Kelarkem, StaSou. Jos. Yemankem a jinYmi. KdyZ" prikroeeno .etyr teho dne sjezdu k volbe Utednikil, vrhnul jsem bratra Chernosteho za sedu. Byl zvolen aklamaene.

Po svem zvoleni dekoval bratr ebernoskY za poctu a povzbuzujicim prosloverri sliboval, ze do priStiho sjezdu prielni se, s pomoci vSech ostatnich Mena Jednoty, aby poeet elenstva se zdvojnasobil. Tenkralt Jednota mela asi 10,500 &cull a ne -wpiesmlonatvrjku.VpiStich etyrech letech ziskano bylo ‘jen 330 novYch elenti, a majetek Jednoty stoup-.nul o pill milionu.

• ttyfikrat za sebou byl bratr Chetarlos,k1",, zvolen aklamaene predsedou SPJST o na sjezdu v Houston (1924), 'V Temple (1928), v Ennis (1932) a v East Bernard (1936). Bratr Jan Holeeek, kterY tiprav()val koneenY zapis sjezdu v East Bernard, nezdrZel se, aby do protokoht nezanesl, ze "bratr Stepan Valeik, kdy byl rovnk zvolen aklamaene . . . slib svilj dotvrdil obejmutim zvoleneho pi'edsedy". Tak jsem se stal pomocnikem bratra Chernoskeho v fizeni nag SPJST, a to prigs v dobe, kdy men jsme velmi citelne ztraty — nee() pies milion v majetku Jed,noty. Pro mne to byly etyki rOky-statYch pokust1 a odstranovani preka&k, etyri roky stale obavy, abychom nezabrecili hloubeji. A tenkrate se nahledy bratra Chernoskeho a me 'neshodovaly. KaZdY 'vide' veci v jinem svetle. •Kratce taylorskYm sjezdem pracovali jsme oba a tahli jsrne kaZdV pro dobro Jednoty za svuj provaz. Proto na sjezdu v Taylor (1940), kdy jsem znovu byl navden do iftadu mistoptedsedy, nominaci jsem zamanta.

Musim zduraznit, ze v n gem nesouladu nebylo nic osobniho. KdVZ i pozdeji jsme kritisovali jeden druheho, byla to vZ"dy kritika 141kcinnosti Atedni, kritika einovnika Jednoty, ne v gak nejaka osobni zaAt' nebo tevnivost. Oba jsme si vain jeden druheha, ale neschvalovali jsme jeden druhemu smer jeho price. V roku 1944 ustoupil jsem do Ustrani; o etyti pozdeji ueinil bratr ChernoskSt podobnt'.

Pro mne to byla zaliba v dal gich studiich; pro bratra Chernoskeho to byla otazka jeho zdravi a prosba jeho marrelky, aby se getril.

A ai jsme stall oba stranou, a iidnY 7 rids nernel vice zodpovedne misto v Jed- • note, piiblizili jsme se met. Litoval bratv ChernoskS7, a litoval jsem i ja, ze jsme si nerozumell. Na sjezdu v Corpus Christi podali jsme si ruce. Pozdeji v soukrome rozmluve v jeho pravnicke kance16,N, kdy, jsme se kamaradsky rozhovoiili 0

Tenkrat uklouzl mu povzdech, ze jako advokat vide jen to, jak eloy ek rdouci eloveka, Clo y& r ye sousto od fist eloveka, elovek do naha syleke, eloveka, bratr okrada, bratra, a jeden druheho proklina, loupi, yrsZ. /di. Na nej volal hlas ulice, aby byl zastancem vAedniho shonu. A kdykoliv chtel se zasvetiti vySSim zajmilm — jako Svobodnk Zed- byl znovu str gen volanim a lidfkem ulice. Nemohl odmitnouti. Byl advokatem. A tenkrate bratr Chernoskk odhalil mi, .2e take advokat ima ge hledati rnravni fispech v g ivote. Odhalil mi svou duk.

Ktiyi telefonoval jsem z Houstonu do tiskarny 6echoslovaka, zda je v tiskarne rytina bratra • Chernoskeho, zjistil jsem, ze bYvalY redaktor Moudka kratce pied sy Ym skonem yYznamne vyzvedl zasluhy Chernoskeho.

Reports from Lodges, blograIThies, etc., intended for publication, must be in the hands of the Editor a week before the date of issue. Address all editorial matters 1,0: Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston 7, Tex.

orm 3579 Wi th Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, TEMPLE, TEXAS

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR A MAGAZINE JUST CAME BY MAIL I glanced through it, noted its contents, and then I started to read it from the very beginning. When I got through with it., I turned to my wife and remarked: "I wish every officer and every direetor of the SPJST had a chance to read this magazine." My wife suggested that I order thirteen copies, since I am so eager to educate others.

• • WE HAVE FIFTEEN PAGES IN THE bylaws where the duties of the officers, the directors, and the entire Supreme Lodge are enumerated. But there is not a single hint about the compulsory reading of magazines, books, pamphlets, and literature pertaining to the fraternal benevolent societies. Yet I believe that every one of our supreme officers and directors should read every month at least six publications dealing with fraternal benevolent societies. I am serious about it. Just as a mechanic keeps with the new gadgets, changes in motors, and various improvements, the same way our officers and directors, who are planning for the future of the SPJST, should keep themselves posted about the new trends in fraternal insurance. * • EVERYTHING EXISTING STARTED with an idea, mostly a borrowed idea from someone else. Or it is a succession of ideas. The steam engine was an idea.

The automobile was an idea—many ideas. Everything is an idea down to the tube of paste or the wrapper on a candy bar. Men and women in this world are measured not by how many hours they spend in their offices, but by their ideas they translate into action while they sit in the office. And when we read magazines and journals devoted to our type of work, we are amazed what a wealth of ideas we get from others. a a LET ME GET DOWN TO CONCRETE example's. Last fall,'when we had a supper for the Slavic delegates at the Sokol Hall in Dallas, we entertained a number of delegates from various Slavic fraternal societies. I am getting their publications. I read them, and I enjoy them. Sometimes I borrow an , idea or two, put them together, and if my mind functions the right way I present them

to the SPJST members. And the readers think what a wide-awake editor I happen to be All of that with borrowed ideas.

• • AMONG THOSE DELEGATES ENTERtained at the, Sokol Hall, there was a young man who introduced himself as being fairly well acquainted with Texas.

He seemed to stick around Camp Hood, Killeen, and Temple while drawing an officer's pay from Uncle Sam. His name was Michael Grasha, and he was a delegate of the Croatian Fraternal Union of America. Now, you may not know who Croatians are. They are people like the Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, and Slovenes.

They speak what you may say one of the Slavic dialects which sounds very much like the Czech language of some of our children who don't know it well enough.

But these Croatians have a Junior Department which has nearly 35,000 children. And they publish a bi-monthly magazine for their children. Mr. Grasha is editor of the Junior Magazine. * • AND THE CROATIAN FRATERNAL Union has a summer camp for those 35,000 junior members. The magazine tells how it works, how it aids in building the Junior Order. The Junior Magazine is full of pictures and stories about the camp, about the teams, about athletic tournaments. It is amazing what others are doing to attract the children. No wonder- they have more children in the Junior Department than we have in the entire SPJST. It is a good reading, one of the many magazines which I would like to place in the hands of every officer and every director of the SPJST. As I say, we have to borrow ideas from others.

WHILE ON THE SUBJECT OF READing magazine, let me quote an interesting piece of editorial writing from the Fraternal Age, which is a monthly magazine published for the information and in the interest of fraternal benevolent societies in the United States and Canada. In the issue of August, 1954, the Fraternal Age had an article about the junior members in the fraternal benefit societies, and hoW the future of America is being built greater through

the Junior Order Department of the Croatian Fraternal Union. The other example is about our own SPJST. Our members should know what others ;ay about us.

• * THE ARTICLE DESCRIBES WHAT is being done by the SPJST for our chit. dren. "We have great admiration [or the youth work of the fraternal benefit societies," writes the editor of the Fraternal Age. Then he goes on saying: "Those who attended the May meeting; of the Fraternal. Youth Counselors 'As sociation in Chicago heard Mrs. Birdie Hilsher describe the programming of activities for the junior lodges of her society, the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, SPJST. She is Youth Counselor for the whole organization. She also is President of the Tex-. as Fraternal Congress Youth Counselors Section."

• • THE EDITOR OF THE FRATERNAL Age obtained a copy of thb programs prepared by Sister Hilsher. "When it, came we were amazed," admitted the editor. "It is a mimeographed book of 56 pages. Games, singing and dancing: plays, recitations, Czechoslovak `folk songs, the S.P.J.S.T. Fraternal Song, recitations and drills are outlined. There are pages of music scored with great labor, presumably by Mrs. Hilsher. While the culture of Czechoslovakia is presented, patriotism for America is out-, standing. Henry Van Dyke's 'AMERICA FOR ME' is given, as well as patriotic quotations of great Americans. A remarkable contribution is that of Stephen Valcik, the S.P.J.S.T. Editor of the Vealnik. It is a Presidential Parade in which 21 boys represent that many Presidents from George Washington to Dwight D. Eisenhower. As each boy appears on the stage, he names the President he represents and his inauguratn year, telling the chief events of his administration and quoting an outstanding remark of that President. It is a splendid manual for the youth directors."

LF,T ME REPEAT THAT WE SHOULD read more about what others are doing and should borrow ideas from others.

The Presidential Parade, prepared by me, was a borrowed idea.

SERVICE TO JUNIOR MEMBERS The Fraternal Age, which is a monthly magazine published for the benefit of Fraternal Life Insurance Societies, published in a rather prominent place an address delivered by Sister Birdie Hitslier at the meeting of the Fraternal Youth Counselors Association. It also published Sister Hilsher's picture with the quotation of hers, "What the children really like to do."

Since the Fraternal Age is being read by many, many thousands of officers and leaders of every fraternal organization in the United States and Canada, the editor of the Vestnik considers is proper to reprint the entire article which reads as follows: STIMULATION OF JUNIOR ACTIVITIES

By Birdie Hilsher (Mrs. Hilsher is State Youth Counselor of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, SPJST, home office at Temple, Texas. She is also President of the Youth Section of the Texas Fraternal Congress. This paper was given at a recent meeting of the Fraternal Youth counselors AwciAtion. The method's described get results, for the society had a good increase in junior members in 1953.)

REFERRING to our SPJST Fraternal Order, when the Youth Counselorship was established and I accepted appointment as the first Youth Counselor, the youth activities in most of our lodges were dormant. It took a great deal of time, planning and research to establish the iotindations on which to build a successful movement.

I have used a new approach to capture our children's interest in our lodges —which is our prime objective—an approach developed after much research.

I did not find anything that would meet my conception in giving the children what they really like to do best—the opportunity to play in a way which would require only a minimum of work on their part. This is to -Participate, be it games, musical plays, dance routines and games for the majority. Also to enable individuals to perform a task with which they are familiar, such as playing musical instruments, recitations. dramatic playettes, etc. To capture the child's desire to be active means giving them the opportunity to be recognized and rewarded with appreciation of their effort and accomplishment.

My first step was to have youth dicctors ith assistants appointed in each local Mgt: and then work. out

material of operating procedures, instructions and performance activities.

These programs of approximately 50 pages each are mailed to all our youth directors for each of four seasons of the year. They contain recitations, poems, plays, dances, ballets, original song arrangements, copyrighted musical productions, musical games and other interesting material which is planned with a child's point of view in mind. In my research I have come across so much material intended for children, which in reality was only an adult's conception of what a child should do, but missed the very important point of what a. child really likes to do. In the programs that I prepare much new material has to be created to fit into how a child's interest can be engendered, captured and retained.

To further facilitate my wort, i intend to delegate some of my responsibilities of contact with the youth directors in lodges, and to district representatives who would be in charge of and be responsible to me for the youth movement operations of the lodges within their districts. In this way more units could be covered effectively, efficiently, and more attention given to help.

My programming also includes singing and dancing classes, which I am establishing as self-supporting, as there are as yet no youth funds provided.

These are to induce more children and their friends to come in and find enjoyment within our fraternal lodges, and thereby giving our organizers a wider field of opportunity Then I have the choral singing project, with all new musical material especially prepared, which will give us another opportunity for inter-lodge and inter-district contests, thereby unifying our fraternal orders. Choral singing may consist of any number of participants and is good for the small lodges as well as the larger ones.

In my ball game project we are creating more and more interest within our local lodges. Greater number of children are joining in, as this activity gives them good clean entertainment and, let us not forget, good publicity for cur organization. Show me a. child that doesn't like to throw a ball.

Outings, educational tours, special lectures of invited speakers on art, paintings, dramatics, music and anything else of interest to the children, such as woodcraft, clay moulding, doll dress making, kite making, etc., I am introducing more and more into my progiains.

Then we have regular program evenings, such as for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, etc., when the children perform for their parents and friends with pride and joy.

I am stressing and introducing to all lodges the importance of their children participating in projects designed and held for their benefit and their youth movement benefit. By having concessions operated by the youth at their lodge festivals, and by having one or two special youth benefit dances a year, funds and reserves for greater youth activities would be provided and established, which would enable the lodges to have their youth activities more effectively entertaining, as well as self supporting. This would also teach the children responsibility, co-operation and the fact that they are able to help their mother lodge.

There are many other plans which I have in the process of development— some rather unusual in this line of elfort—as in the work of youth counselor one cannot stand still, for to stand still means to go backward.

SETTING THE STAGE Setting the stage for the close 16 important. I have used this little idea for some time, with great success. Before ask a person to sign, I say, "In talking with people of all kinds as I do, I have decided that there are three classes.

First, the fellow who says he came into this world with nothing and expects to, go out the same way. We don't much admire those people, do we? Second, the fellow who says he came in this world world with nothing but if anything happens to him, the government, or the state; or his relatives can take care of his loved ones. We certainly don't admire a man like that, do we? Then there is the third class, and, John, I'm plac ing you there. You came into the world with nothing, but you intend by yourself to get some place by systematically saving for the future, with your loved ones in mind. This plan I'm showing you gives you estate immediately, and if anything should happen, we pay to your loved ones not just what you saved, dot what you started out to save." )• ( DEFINITIONS A Communist has been described a a chap who borrows your pot to cook your goose.

That All-Purpose Telephone Book (By Frank L. Remington) Except for the Bible, probably no other book circulates more widely or is taken more for granted than the ubiq uitous telephone directory, for which the Bell System annually spends some $100,000,000.

The phone book often doubles as a epository for important information, money, securities, insurance policies, love letters_ and overdue bills. The volume's a boon for Junior, too. A volume or two aeked on a, dining room chair gradu., les ` him from his high chair to a place at the table. tore than 60,000,000 directories are issued each year, and there are countless kinks and oddities as a result. In Los Angeles, Ricardo Zzyzz, the pseudonym ci a salesman with a whimsical sense of humor, holds the last listing in the book.

Elsewhere in the book he's listed under his true name.

Another joker in Evansville, Indiana, lists his dog in the local directory. Undoubtedly, Muggsy's the only canin in dogdom to hold this singular distinction.

Every phone book has its quota of tongue twisters. In 1951, the Altoona, Penn sylva,nia, directory carried the longest name ever listed—Wolfeschlegelteinha,usenbergerclorff. Manhattan's book can't equal it with its lengthiest name Katzenellenbogen. Historically minded New Yorkers, however, can chat with Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Oliver, Cromwell and Andrew Jackson— listed in the directory, of course.

Staggering amounts of material go into -America's phone books each year.

Id, the aggregate they contain 50,000,000,000 pages -- enough paper to circle the globe three times at the equator with a belt fifty feet wide. Then there's 1,000.000 pounds of glue for binding and 2,000,000 pounds of printing ink. Bell system •consumes the entire output of three large paper mills.

Highly-trained inspectors make sure each - roll of paper is thin enough for maximum efficiency, but not so thin that ink and type will show through the printed page. Some fifty printers, strategically located throughout the United States, publish the larger books.

What happens to old directories? Paper mills convert most of them into catrdboard, book-match covers, cartons and new paper. Often, however, outdated oks serve in singular ways.

VESTIv fib WEST,

The Seven D anger Signals "But, doctor, it just started with a little sore than wouldn't heal."

Yes, perhaps so; just a little sore, perfectly inoffensive looking. A little sore, no doubt, which just seemed to start from nothing and nowhere and you don't even remember how it started. But there it is now, the doctor's diagnosis, cancer.

And you find yourself trying to explain it to the doctor and rationalize it for yourself.

"But, doctor, it was just a little lump at first."

Yes, it was a little lump in a curious spot; in the soft part of the neck (the doctor uses a technical medical term you may not have heard before). You thought maybe you'd been wearing too tight a collar, or something. But, as the doctor says, it's cancer.

"But, doctor, there was just a litle bleeding at first."

No, you hadn't paid much attention to it; figured nature would take care • if it in time. So, again you try to explain and to rationalize. But it's a bit late for explanations or rationalization, for the doctor says, ever so sympathetically, it's cancer.

"But, doctor, it was just a little mole."

Sure, had it a long time; grew up with it in fact. You didn't know such things should be checked for possible malignancy. Doesn't seem possible it could start from that. You're sure, doctor, it's cancer?

"But, doctor, it just seemed to be a sort cf chronic indigestion.'

That's right; it didn't seem to go away even though you tried a lot of patent medicines. Should have come in six months ago? Well, you know how it goes, doctor; didn't seem too serious although continuously uncomfortable.

But cancer -- you're sure?

"But, doctor, you see, there was that bad cold last winter; everyone seemed to have it."

Yes, yes, left a sort of hoarseness which wouldn't clear up. Took lots of medicine, gargled; tried almost everything anyone suggested. Went on working? Sure, couldn't stop for a little thing like that.

And you say, doctor, there's no doubt.

It's cancer.

"But, doctor, nobody thinks much about constipation."

Yes, took a lot of laxatives ,even some pretty drastic ones. That's right; just felt sort of low and dragged out, you know. No, never had to see a doctor before; come from good, sound stock.

That's why this is so hard to understand. Cancer? You're sure? What now?

Well, there they sit in the doctor's

private, office. Seven of them; seven typical cancer patients. And they've just heard the bad news -- cancer, And it seems so strange that it could all start from such seemingly innocent beginnings. But that is just what the doctor is saying, too, and he knows, from long, long experience and from examining so many, many others that this is usually the way cancer starts — from those small beginnings. And he knows, too, that . if they had just reported it earlier, before it was too late, how much difference it might*have made. But that, again, is the tragic story of cancer discovery and diagnosis too - long delayed, too little time left for treatment.

And there they stand, also: cancer's seven danger signals. Keep them in mind and be on the alert for their pearance. They are seven, remember, and lest you may have overlooked them, even one of them, here they are again: (1) Any sore that does not heal; (2) a lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere; (3) unusual bleeding or discharge; (4) any Change in a wart or Mole; (5) persistent indigestion or difficulty in swallowing;. (6) persistent hoarseness or cough; (7) any change in normal bowel movement. ) • •i• • ( CONGRATULATIONS, ROY

Resolution of Sympathy Whereas, the members of Pokrok Houston Lodge No. 88 have heard with profound sorrow and deep regret of the death of our Brother, the former president of the Supreme Lodge of the SPJST, and a member of Pokrok Houston Lodge since 1925, Charles Henry Chernosky, Sr.: Whereas, Brother Chernosky was not only a good member of Pokrok Houston Lodge, but also a capable and conscientious supreme officer of the Slavonic Benevolent Order (SPJST); Resolved, that we deeply mourn his passing and extend to his bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of sorrow; and be it further Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be sent for publication in the Vestnik, and a copy be placed in the minutes of our meeting in September, 1954.

Elmira College, founded in 1855, is the oldest existing college for women in the United States which, from its beginning, has offered degrees to women comparable to those granted by men's colleges.

Today, when over 700,000 American girls go to college every fall, as a matter of course, it is hard to realize that a scant 100 years ago the doors of Amer--. can colleges and universities Were closed to Women. Coeducational Oberlin in 0hia had begun to admit women in 183'7, but in the East women's education was confined to "female seminaries."

Discouragement had to be overcome by the liberal leaders who spent 4 years searching for funds to start Elmira College. Clergymen issued warnings that "the bloom would fade from the cheek, and vigor and fulness waste away from the frame" if the female intellect were developed. Even more ominous, women would be rendered unfit for their roles as sisters, wives, and mothers.

The officers of District Seven are extremely delighted to receive the news that Brother Roy Hranicky, vice-president of District Seven, had recently completed the academic requirements to obtain a master's degree in education.

The membership in District Seven is highly pleased that Roy is genuinely interested in the affairs of the SPJST and that, in spite of his studies and research work, he is serving with the other officers of the Seven District for the advancement of our Order.

The officers of District Seven are very proud to have Brother Hranicky as an active leader and a co-worker promoting new ideas.

fix year old Faithful was knitting a stocking. Her home was a pretty stone cottage with a thick roof of straw. It was in a village, in England. Roses grew around the open door. Through the door the could see the square, gray tower of a stone church. Ivy climbed the tower.

The bell in the tower rang sweet chimes.

The church had pointed windows of many colored glass. The fences between the cottages were thick green hedges.

A mill stood beside a dancing river. The millwheel churned the water to foam.

On a hill top stood a castle in miles of green park, with a stonewall around it. Lords and ladies lived there. Sometimes they drove to the church in a gay coach, or they ' went away to the king's court in London. They wore silks and laces and plumes and jewels.

Little Faithful's English home was as pretty as a fairy story. But her father often talked of going away to the New World of America, that 'Columbus had found, to live. They were all safe and comfortable in England, but they were not happy.

They dressed and lived more soberly than their neighbors. They liked to go to a plain meeting house, instead of to the ring's stone church. For this they were punished. Unkind people mocked them, and called them Puritans. But they were proud of that name because they tried to live pure lives.

Faithful wore a long, plain gown of dark wool. A square of white lawn was olded around her neck. On her head was a stiff, white linen cap almost like a sunbonnet. Her little face was rosy and dimpled; her loving eyes as blue as violets. Her yellow hair just would curl, and that was a trouble A little Puritan girl had to keep her hair smooth. She Wore a white apron, with a pocket to hold her thimble and thread. The Puritans thought it wicked for even a little girl to be idle.

father thought of tools and seeds and guns and knives and fish nets. He put in a box of books too. He did not take mOney. To trade with the Indians for furs, he took red blankets and calico and beads.

One hundred Pilgrims stood on the deck of the Mayflower and said goodbye to, the green shores of England. Every one of them could do something useful. There were carpenters and shoemakers and blacksmiths and farmers.

(The first company who landed at Plymouth Rock were called Pilgrims Those who came later and settled in Boston were called Puritans.) There - was a soldier with them to lead if they had to fight the Indians. A minister went with them and a wise man to govern them.

Puritan mothers could do nearly everything to make people comfortable. The little girls could knit and sew and mind the baby. The smallest boy could whittle wooden shoe pegs. Wooden pegs are still being used in the shoe industry. Your, neighborhood shoe shop can show you how they are made.

It was a cold, long journey, in winter weather, over the sea. The Atlantic Ocean is three thousand miles wide. Today we cross this ocean in steamships, in five days.

But the Pilgrims came over three hundred years ago, in a little sailing vessel. The voyage took six weeks. Big waves beat the sides of the ship and rolled it almost over. The snow fell thick and ice covered the deck. Fogs shut them in, so they could not see where they were going. Icebergs as big as hills floated in the water, and they ,saw whales. By and by they saw sea gulls. They were near land. The land was not green and pleasant like England. All they saw was black rocks, bare forests and great fields of snow. The Pilgrims got into little boats and rowed over foamy breakers to this land. The knelt on the rocks and prayed and sang hymns. And they named the bleak coast New England, after their old home.

Recently, a unique convention was held at the Rice Hotel, Houston, where two years ago the SPJST held its sixteenth convention It was a gathering of people who are either completely blind or nearly blind. Referring to this conVention, the Houston Chronicle had the following editorial which is worth reading: The blind and near-blind attending the convention at the Rice Hotel of the American Association of Workers for the Blind are walking monuments of human courage. There is no somber atmosphere of handicapped people meeting to discuss their troubles. Instead, there is more good humor and optimism than prevails at many conventions attended by unhandicapped people. The ability of the blind to adjust themselves to a wholly different kind of life is an inspiring example for those who have no handicaps. There is a highly developed sense of independence about these p e o -plethano lymakesthirownlves happier and more useful, but bet-wilts as well the entire community in which they live.

Instead of becoming ward of society, they have become useful citizens wile contribute richly to the productivity and welfare of our society.

It is amazing to sighted persons to note the skills developed by the blind.

It has been proved that blind persont., because of their concentration on what they are doing, are sometimes more et ficient at certain work than sighted persons. Only in recent years has this fact become generally recognized. Credit for the recognition must be given to tire blind persons like those attending the convention here, who courageously overcame their handicaps to prove to the world that they can still be valhable citizens.

Another phase of excellent work being done by association for the blind is the' educational campaign to teach all citizens how to prevent blindness. This is a needed activity which was overlooked for too long.

Wednesday, September I, 1954 IIIWAYS — FIXED up There is a growing prospect that somereally big will be done in years just ahead to give this country 'better highways.

President Eisenhower wants the nation to spend at least 50 billion dollars in 10 years I to bring the road system up to date. State highway officials have a road-building program that matches the President's. Congress appears to be in a mood to spend more money to mcdernirse highways promptly.

T h e country's wealth in terms of drivers and cars is forcing vast expenditures to provide roads that are spacious and safe at the steadily increasing speed levels. Very little of today's highway system is-modern by present engineering standards.

Annual spending on maintenance and improvement of the highway system has increased only about 18 per cent since the prewar years, in terms of prewar dollar. Yet the number of motor vehicles in use has gone up 71 per cent— from 30.6 million to X58 million today.

In the next 15 years the number of motor vehicles is expected to increase by iiKre than one third But the road network is not being improved and expanded to provide for such growth. At the present rate of spending, the improvements are not even keeping up with the rate of deterioratiQn and obsolescence.

The American Association of State Highway Officials estimated in 1950 that the cost of modernizing the road system would be about 29 billion dollars.

Since then, improvement work has been going on faster than ever before, but the deficiencies have increased even faster. By last year, the Association estimated, the cost of needed highway work had climbed tea 35 billion dollars.

Now, if the program were spread over a ar period, it would cost 50 billion dollars. That is the estimate 'of Hal H. Hale, executive secretary of the Association.

Even so, that's 'only part of the bill.

The Aates spend, each year, 4 billion dollars just to maintain and operate the present roads, not counting any expense for improvements of federal-aid highways. In 10 years, that adds up to 40 billion dollars. This makes the grand total for a 10-year program 90 billion dollar,;.

No public-work program of such magnitude ever before has been proposed by an 'American President. All the public-works and relief spending of the New Deal ye g rs, from 1934 to 1941, totaled only II) billion do■ lars.
