Nebyly flak fady zaloieny kdysi na podobne myglence, abychom nagli spriznene duk, abychom se stjikali s porozumenim jinSrch?

Nebylo to pilpomenuti, ze nejen deti ale i dospeli, ba celST svet, pottebuji vzojemne svepomoci, pocitu pribuzenstvi, vice bratrstvi? TtiletSr hosik hledal tatinka, na kaZdeho volal.

ne bychom mobil zvolati desetkrat, sta.krat denne, "Hello, brother!"

NedaArno piedseda jednoho fatitt aby byl v na gem organu sestaven dlanek na vysvetleni na g-im anglicky etouchn elenam, co znamend slovo "podporujici"V nazva na geho spolku. PrY,jeden starY elen vede stiZnost pied detmi, platil do spolku etyricet az padesat inn, ale Ze kdy byl jednou deli dobu nemocny, prY ho ani domaci spolek ani Hlavni Uradovna nepodporovali. Pokyn je easovY a vecnY. Je to vitanY narnet k anglickemu nvodniku ,aby mladgim Clem:1m bylo vysvetleno, do jake miry maze misti tad nebo Hlavni Uradovna jiti ye sve snaze podporovati nemocne eleny. .Piny den Zada, zdali by v redakenieh fivahach mohl bYti probran clank 45. nagich stanov, aby eleni poznali, co obsahuje, nebo zda by distrikty mohly &de-, kavati nejakou finandni pomoc na Made tohoto elanku. 0 zretelnej gi vysvetleni elanku 45 polada redaktor hlavni Uredniky, hlavne nageho pravniho radc, a pak pokusi se nahledy vrchnich Urednikti podati v gem elentun.

Aby vak vYmena nahled y nebyla jedndstranna a aby mySlenky proudily d yema smery, ma td2 redaktor 'Zaclost na eleny. Jak ArSichni vite, posledni sjezd zavedl distrikty a rnzdelil stat na sedm east. Clank o rozdeleni statu na sedut ctistriktu vekl v platnost ihned. Ale Ae mySlenka distriktii byla nova a neVyzkoustanovni vSrbor moudte usoudil, by se plan podal co nejjednodu‘Sk. SlnZit,3-7 plan s mnoha pravidly a regulacemi byl by teZko pochopenSr, moZna nebyl by schvalen.

Od sjezdu uplynuly dva ruky, kdy v distriktech se zkou gely razne snaky. Do PtiStiho sjezdu men bychom VAichni mid, ti docela ureitou ptedstavu, co chceme, co mame, co pottebujeme, a co si musime die sveho upraviti, aby to bylo pro ce-: lou Jednotu. A do pri gtiho sjezdu musi prijit ureite navrhy, aby elanky o distriktech mohly bYti vsunuty do stanov. Proto bylo by dobre, kdyby vAichni eleni, kteti maji nejakSr zajem na udfZeni a zlepgeni distrikty pti§li na veteinost•se svrini nahledy.

Neeo podobneho maze bYti probirano v distriktnich schtzich. Ale takove verejn e diskuse maji sve nevYhody. MalokterY Glen ma ten dar, aby Indio slovy rekl. vgechno. Na gi eleni obyeejne privezou pinou ftiru slov. 2adnST se nepripravi tak, aby sve nahledy mohl klasti vedle sebe jako perlieky. Proto pisemne projevy a nahledy jsou mnohem lep gi. Olo✓ek se_mute pozastaviti a treba vratiti, kdy souvislost my glenek neni dokona.la. Proto meli by eleni vziti si na,pomoc papir a tuZku, aby si sestavili plan, jak nag e distrikty maji pracovati.

Marne zvoleny stanovnt ..vybor, kter*

Ve sttedu, dne 13. tijna 1954. kdysi v budoucnosti se sejde, aby sestavil a upravil dotle navrhy. Kdyt neptijdou tadne navrhy, stanovni vYbor bude miti lehkou praci. Ale dejme tomu, to nekterS• Glen stanovniho vYboru se Orati na nektereho z vas nebo na vat domaci tad a potada vas o ureitY plan vtech elanku, ktere se maji vztahovati na distrikty. Mate dobrou van sestaviti elanky o distriktech? Mate dostateenS7 zajem o praci v Jednote? Mate pochopeni, abyste pfiznali, to dnetni otazka distriktu neni jette naletite vytetena ate bude nutno upraviti neco leptiho net co nyni 'name ye stanovach?

Nebylo by sprivne, aby hlavni ci nebo distriktni teditele nebo redaktor pfigli s hotovou veci. Bude lepti, kdyt nahledy a navrhy na zlep geni prate v distriktech ptijdou od mistnich elena, dome.cich utednika nebo dinovnika v distriktech. Cot aby nekdo z elenti podal nejake naerty, jak by mely nebo mohly budouci elanky o distriktech bYti sestaveny? Je tfeba, aby se tato chiletita, vec neodkladala ptilit dlouho. My obyeejne zaeiname planovati at pet minut do dvanacti—a pak nemame vec ildne promyglenou a propracovanou.

Ve stanovach mame v piitomne dobe oznaeeno dosti ztetelne, jak se prate v nasi SPJST provadi. Nejvyttim telesern je sjezd a zestupci na sjezdu. Kdyt sjezd nezaseda, cele vedeni je vloteno na hlavni teleso, ktere sestava ze sedmi distriktnich teditelti a aesti vYkonnStch ittedniIca. Distriktni teditele maji pod dohledem vtechny mistni tady ye svem distriktu. Mistni fatly opet maji sve fitedniky a sve povinnosti vuci rnistnim elenam.

Lee v celem tomto sloteni je velika, mezera. Tato mezera musi bYti vypinena, aby byl vyteen akol a povinnost distriktu, aby to nevyhlitelo jako nedodelanY most mezi mistnimi tady a hlavnim telesem.

Jestli ma sjezd sve povinnosti, hlavni atadovna sve, mistni tady a jejich ttednici tot sve, bude nutno vyznaeiti povinnosti distriktnich fifednika. To vtechno musi bYti vypracovano pro pfitti sjezd nebo pro ptitti stanovni vYbor. Nekdo to musi zaeit, proto je psano upozorneni, to nag most mezi mistnimi tady a hlavnim telesem je rozestaven, ale nedodeIan. Pottebujeme nejake dobre stavitele na dodelani mostu. Pottebujeme material, kterY musi bYti dodan 'deny, ne redaktorem, a ne temi, kdo si mysli, most nepottebuji.

Dosud take rici, kolik Clankft musime si vypracovati, abychom vyznaeili spra y -noufkciatdehsr.Djmomu, to ustalili jsme se na, sedmi distriktech ate to nebuderife vice meniti.

Lee jak je fieel distriktu? Na to staCI jedna veta. Jak je veden distrikt? Zase by stadilo vyjmenovani distriktnich uiedniku. Jak se provadi einnost v dis-

VESTNfK — WEST, TEXAS triktu? To at bude vYtadovati, zda chceme miti jednu schazi, d ye schaze, nebo vice, a take jakeho druhu tyto sehaze budou. Jake je zastoupeni V distriktech? To motno vysvetliti jednim odstavcem, kterY nemusi bYti dlout4. A pak ptijdou povinnosti distriktnich U.tednika, jejich lhata, jejich platy nebo nahrada Casu, a take snad financovani distriktu. At to bude v gechno sestaveno, bude to vytadovati nekolik elanka.

Prominte redaktoru, ie se o dodatcich stanov stran distriktu a o cele teto otazce airoce rozepsal. Ale ruku na srdce a odpovezte dle sveho nejleptiho ptesvedeeni tuto otazku: K jakemu fieelu slouti distrikty?' Ai si sformujete svou odpoved', napi gte ji na papir. Jestli odpoved' je zfetelna, a spravna, mute vase odpoved' sloutiti jako• zaklad k noveinu dodatku do stanov pod ohlaveni "Distrikty". Motna take to ve va gi odpovedi bude vice bode, ktere by se bodily do ramce distriktu. PtemYtlejte a uvatujte, zda distrikty maji vesti naborovou Cinnost nebo jen v naborove praci vypomahati. Podejte svaj usudek, zda distriktni schaze maji miti slavnostni raz pro reklamu nebo pro pobaveni, nebo maji bYti take jako male sjezdy, kde by se kladly zaklady na upraveni zmen v JednOte nebo tteba i na zmenu ye vYberu delegatt.' Tet vyslovte se, zda by rnel distriktni teditel podavati ye schrizi Hlavni irtadovny ptehled o svem d:hledu a sve zodpovednosti•v distriktu. Nezapomerite na povinnost distriktu vYai.mladeti nebo na hromadne uvadeni Clenu pomoci uvadecich eet. Pustte se do sestavovani novYch dodatku, anebo ptispejte syYmi nahledy k vStmene daltich mytlenek. Povatiljte se za pomocniky naaemu stanovnimu vSrlabru.

Zastavil jsem se, abych si znovu pie eetl, co jsem napsal. Zde je ma piedpoved': nekolik malo elena pomohou; druha skupina nekolika malo elena bude jen potorovati; a ptevatna vettina nebude miti tu geni, oC vlastne beti.

Katcla nova my glenka vytaduje svaj Cas net se ujme, net vypuCi, net zesili a vyroste At se mytlenka vtile a ustali, nikdo si ani nevzpomene, to kdysi se vedly zapasy net mytlenka byla uvedena v skutek. Jen malt' ptiklad: nekdy kolem roku 1930—byl jsem tenkrat "elenem Hlavni Utadovny asi testy rok—napsal jsem elanek o nevYhodach na gi Usttedny v male osade To bylo cde mne butiestvi. Tenkrat bylo v mode slovo bolS " ulk. Bylo na mne hozeno. Dnes bezpochyby etyti petiny elena si pochvaluji, ae SPJST ma svaj domov ve vettim meste. Ale jegte pied dvema lety na sjezde byla to otazka otehava, na vatkach. A at si kdysi vytetime spravne otazku distriktfi, fleel jejich, financovani jejich, povinnosti jejich Utednika, pak v bu-

Strana 3 doucnosti tern mlad g im ani na mysl neprijde, to pfed lety Jednota existovala bez distriktu.

Podobne dojde jednou na vyiegeni lilavniho organisatora, organisace virbore a zdokonaleni natich organisatora. Kdyby dnes pfijala statni zakonodarna zakon, to prodavaei bratrskeho pojitteni museji se podrobiti statni zkou g -ce,abyprokzlisvechopnti,jal bychom takovY zakon asi s tim pocitem, jako kdyt statni zakon nafidil, to musime miti 100% solvenci. Dries nam na vYcviku nagich organisatorft tak mnoho nezaleti. Ba zda, se nam, posledni sjezd v Houstonu nemel klasti tak vysoke potadayky pro statniho organisatora.

A zase je to jen nepochopeni. Potadayky jsou ty nejmirnejti dle odhadu Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu. Nesmime zapominat, to tadnY ptak nepoleti daleko, ma-li jen jedno ktidlo. My ma.me velice vYhodne pojistky, ale pottebujeme lidi, kteti by je naaim pmspektam vysvetlili. U jinYch bratrskYch jednot si dobre organisatory stalYm gkolenim vychovavaji. Mame ye SpojenYcli statech jit asi 1200 bratrskYch pracovnikt, mezi nimi mnoho hlavnich Utednika, kteti maji tak zvanou hodnost "Fraternal Insurance Counselor", F. I. C., a kteti slotili pottebne zkou gky k dosateni teto hodnosti. Krome toho jine bratrSke spblky maji asi '700 organisatora, kteti slotili zadateeni zkou gky a maji titul "Associate Fraternal Insurance Counselor". My jsme po sjezdu slibne zaCali, ale nejsme dosti povzbuzujicimi, aby nazi organisatoti se ku sloteni zkougek dopracovali. At dosud redaktcr byl jedinYm, kterY se na zavereenou zkougku zmohl.

Lee i vzdor tomu, nak organisatoii vykonali ptekvapujici kus naborove prate.

Jente alo by jim v gechno mnohem .snadneji a s leptim vSrsledkem, kdyt by men dalti instrukce a pomacky. Mute bSiti sebe lepgi tesat, katclY musi Cas od easu svou pilku nebo svaj hoblik si nabrousit. attenost nestadi, kdyt neni nastroj ptipravenY k praci. Na ge organisatorske gkoly byly jen easteenou nahradou toho, co organisatoti si mohl sami vybrati z ratnych poinacek. Je at ptekvapujici, kolik Uspechu docilili nekteti nazi organisatoti s tim malem, ktere v organisaenich hodina,ch dostali. Kdybychom mohl mitt sttniho orga,nisatora v astredi, kterY by mohl venovati den nebo dva tomu, aby si mohl pozvati do ristkedi aspori deset nebo patnact organisatort, kde by jim poskyt1 instrukce, na ge nabcrova, Cinnost by se zdvojnasobila. Pak by to netrvalo dlouho, to bychom meli takove organisatory, kteti by se venovali teto einnosti apine.

Net tyto iadky budete Cisti, rozhodne.

PRO DISTR1KTY NA UVAkENOU Dallas, Texas.

Cteni bratli a sestr: HdyZ tak etu ty zpravy ze schezi distriktd a celern potadu, tedy si vZdy myslim, ze v tech schezich se ztraci mot cenneho ease.

Ku ptikladu, v kaZde sclatizi mame dva programy; jest to zahajeni scheze, vlajky slib vernosti na gi viasti a obyeejne je pki tom i nejalca baseri neb neco jako na ptivitani. Pak jsou piedstaveni etednici a nekdy i jini navgtevnici, a ne2 se toto odbude, jest eas k obeciu. Po °Ude, neZ" zase se etednici vypovidaji, jest eas na druhY program.

Nemyslite, bratii a sestry, ze by bylo lepgi odbSit celSr ten program lined pii zahajeni scheze? To by se pane odbylo dopoledne a odpoledne by bylo cele venovane schezi. Bylo by dosti easu na rfizne nove nahledy, opravy, rozhovory, kterYch by se mohli zeeastniti i ti, kteti mail ten program na starosti i matky, ktere aby davaly mnohdy mnoho hodin pozor na ktere teinkuji v program'', aby se neumazaly neb n.eulitaly.

Zahaji-li se scheze o 10 hod. rano, dai budou vgechny na mists pane eiste, neuna,vene, odbydou sve elohy a pak si LIZ" mohou brat venku.

Vedouci, manly a tteba, i tatove si hezky sednou a budou sledovat schezove jedneni a deli nebudou ptebihat a vyru govat.

Nezlobte s pro tyto tadky na mne. Ja, obyeejne za v ge ihned dostanu; kdy ne osobne, tak sem tam to zakryta gpieka v dopisu. Ale za zkougku by to stab°, neb si dosud myslim, ze zavedeni distrikte neni jen pro zabavu. Tam mame jiti budovat a ne bourat, pro dobro Mad, cele Jednoty a v gech nas elene.

Se zajmem jsem eetla zpravy v jirnich easopisech ze sjezde jinY• ch jednot, a *ve • -temn,zrohypavjsud zajimaye. My bychom se meli eemu ptiueiti. Nevim, jsou-li v jinSrch statech jine pojigVujici za.kony, neb jini aktuati, kte-

ri donor-116i povoleni penez na rezne nove veci, ktere ptinagi dobro celemu jejich spolku a vgem elenern.

Moji ptatele mne vzali do Fort Worth na uvitaci program delegate Svazu 0eskS/ch Katoliku. Bylo tam nekolik proslove, ale mile se nejlep gi libil proslov, kterY pronesl pan Vorel. V jeho keel. bylo poukazano, kde jest tteba se spojit, kde podpotit, aby se prate zdatila a prinesla uZitek. Zadne fraze, takove lacine mluveni, ktere nas easem unavuje. A zase mne ptatele vzali na'bazar do Ennis; tam zase jsem videla, jak se yydelavaji penize, ae na torn obecle asi nevydelali nic, neb tolik dobreho jidla a tak chutneho jsem jegte v 'g adne sini, ani v tom nejlepgim hotelu nejedla. Jest dobte si sem tam zajeti i do jinYch mist; mame pak o eem premYglet a vgady uvidime neco, co by i zde bylo dobre. Jen gkoda, ze nelije mtj Jan. Nyni, kdy bychom byli na odpoeinku, tedy bychom si spolu zajeli do reznYch osad, jako jsme spolu jezdivali.

Dnes by nas nic netiIilo a meli bychom eern rozmlouvat. Na, zdar.

Ctena redakce Vestniku, mile spolusestry a bratti: Posledni dobu v nagem Vestniku SPJST je mak) eeskjich dopist, proto jsem vybizen mSimi ptately, bych vice do nageho Vestniku dopisoval.

Urodu mame sklizenou, bude ted' vice easu na psani. Ja, a moje maidelka jd toho moc nesejeme, pet akra baviny, deset akra korny, asi osm akra na hladko krmivo pro dobytek. Baviny jsme na torn kousku napikovali dva dobre baliky. Kornu mame dobrou, krmiva pro dobytek dosti. Rentyr na etrnacti akrech udelal dobre etyki baliky baviny, take na to sucho je to je gte dosti dobre.

Minu1S, mesie ten na g rgemohouci si na nas vzpomel a poslal nam celkem asi etycoule to vodieky, take se v ge hezky zelend; kravky a telata mail se na eem past. Na orani ted' je vlahy dosti, take se 'Cloy& v to Bdi ptirode lep gi citi. to bylo na poyaknou takove velke horka a sucho. Pravil jsem nekolikrat mannedej Bde aby nekde zaeal pdar.

Musim podekovat spolusestte Matce Fabianove v Hallettsville, Texas za pozvani na jejich slavnost. Tenkrat jsme meli jegte pilno v poli, take v pondeli nebylo easu vyspavat. Mete se stet, ze k y am td nekdy zavitame. Radi bychom vas vgechny uvideli, east° vas vzpominame. Byli jsme nekolik let dobti sousedi.

Pig easteji, Matko, do na geho Vestniku, radi Tye dopisy eteme. Domnivam se, ‘Ze dovedeg dobte eesky psati; nemYlim-li se, chodila jsi nejakY eas do 'Ceske gkoly ye stare vlasti.

Td dekuji spolubratru J. F. Sefeikovi v Temple za vzpominku na nas v minulem nagem Vestniku. Vette ptatele, ze si s mardelkou valime Va geho ptatelstvi.

Takhle Nov& ma tu irtechu, 2e ndije na torn slzavem svete samoten.

Vypigi o nagich synech, neb jak se sejde velka skupina lidi, neni moane si v ge povedet.

Nag nejstark syn Jaroslav odchazel na vojnu tfetiho prosince v roce 1942 ye stati 20 let. Do zamoti jel v srpnu v roce 1944, do Francie. Pak pornahal tlaeit Wince do Holandska, Belgie, aZ" v Nemecku v meste Duren na. tece Ruhr byl ranenST. Dne 9. ledna v roce 1945 byl v pr y -ni.armdeN choprsteli bcho. Ztratil hodne krve, ale Z'e na gi hagi prase meli Stesti Nemci museli utikat — hned ho sanit'aci sebrali a v polni nemocnici ogetfili. Aikal nam, 2e devet dni nic nejedl a ne gel na stranu. V tech deviti dnech Z'e mu dali dva kvarty kidke krve a 32 painta suche. Lekaki kikali,

mel velke gtesti, Z"e kulka nezasahla srdce.

Kdy'Z jsme o tomto obdreli zpravu, byli jsme s mardelkou jak otraveni.

Mnoho noci jsme nemohli spat, aekoliv jsme museli teke pracovat. On nam pset nemohl. Jeden jeho pkedstavenS7 nam psal pouze jednou. Za nejakY eas jsme koneene od neho obdrZeli po gtovni listek.

Psal jen par slov. Apeloval na matku, by byla stateena, 'Ze je mu lep gi, ze z toho vyjde, jen 'Ze to bude dlouho trvat, nez ho pusti z nemocknice. Jake byla na ge radost, kdy'Z jsme ten listek obdr'Zeli. Netugill jsme, co nas je gte eeka.

Nag mladgi syn Frantik odchazel na vojnu 14. Unora v roce 1945 ye staff 18 let.

Na zaeatku Cervence toho sameho roku pkijel doma na par dni. Jak dovolena doAla, odjel nazpet do campu a vice se nam nevratil. Byl poslanY do Japonska. Psal nam dosti Casto a tail se, aZ" se s Jaroslavem z vojny doma navrati, 'Ze to naldite oslavime. Ale jeho osud rozhodl jinak.

Bylo to prvniho prosince v roce 1945, totd valka byla jiz skoneena, obdr2eli jsme od star giho syna z Anglie dopis.

Psal, ze prave se vypravuje skupina awerickYch yojakti odjeti doma a Z • e ma nadeji, Ze bude mezi nimi, Ze je ja" dosti zdravY. Bude-li mit jake gtesti, ze se na vanoce shledame.

Ten samSr veeer na ge radost se obratila v Zalost. ObdrZeli jsme od vlady telegram, Ze nag syn Frantik byl zabitY u ostrova Awaji Shima 20. listopadu, podrobnosti ze obdrZime v paru dnech.

Zprava prisla, Ze byl zabitY na lodi nasledkem vYbuchu. Jak se to stalo 'ZadnY nevi a vedet nikdy nebucle. Vezli japonske stkelivo hodit do mote. Na lodi 2e bylo dvacet japonskch zajatca co delnici, tti amerieti vojaci, stra. Jeho ptedstavenji nam napsal pekne psani. Nic nenagli z one lodi,• jen par desek plovat Po vocle. Psal, Ze syn byl dobrY vojak a jestli kdo nam mute dat pratelskou fatechu, Ze on nam ji posild od srdce. Jednu irtechu Ze nam maze napsat, Ze vYbuch byl veliky, Ze ti vojaci Ze ti vojaci zemreli beze vgech bolesti. Kee by to byla pravda.

Stark, syn se vratil z Anglie prave na gtedroveeerni yeeeti 1945. Dcery, zeti a vnoueata v gichni prijeli, ale jake bylo nag e shledani v takovem zarmutku. Netugil, ze jeho mlad gi bratr spi i,z yeenY sen.

Nag nejmladgi syn JoZka odchazel na vojnu 30. dubna v roce 1,953. MinulY mesic mu bylo 2 2let. Ted' je v campu Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. TeZ jsme o neho men obavu. Byl nemocnY asi dva tYclny ye Spitalu. Koupal se a do u gi Z'e se mu dostala voila. Mel bolesti v Slave. Lekai:

'Ze mu tikal, by na koupani zapomel. On se rad koupd, naueil se dobte plavat, takZ"e mame s mardelkou obavu, aby se mu nekdy nee° nestalo, neb ten, co umi dolate plavat, si v hluboke vode nejvice troufa. Psal nam, Z"e je zase tro gieku povYgenY, tak nas potegil.

Dcery jsme meli etyti, jsou vgechny ydane. Stark syn tez je nekolik let 2enaVnoueat mame etrnact, devet chlapeeka a pet deveatek, take kdy'Z vgichni ptijedou je nas cela skupina. V gichni pattime do na gi Jednoty. Pozdrav na celou Jednotu.

Ti, co ptijeli zdaleka, museli skoro rano se vydat na cestu, take se unavili. Z Dallas ptijeli pan a pani Pokladik, phbrali si bratra L. O. Ho gka z Grapevine.

Z Ennis ptijeli bratr a sestra Hrabinovi, jejich dceru gka, a take bratr a sestra F. J. Hagkovcovi, kteti se pro mne stavili, svezli mne tam i doma. Moe jim dekuji.

Jestli my zkazime ten tad, zkazime to dobre seminko. KaZ dY rok deti pribude a ty se stanou Cleny SPJST. V fiterY 21. pied ranem jsme meli mai* degt'.

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

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THERE IS A LIST OF OUR LEADING organizers on the front page of this issue. Last year, when Brother Albert Bristik reached the admirable figure of $120,000 of new business, everybody was surprised. Some of the other organizers were even slightly jealous. But look lit the production this year — and we have almost three months to go. Sister Anna Milan, of Fort Worth Lodge No. 154, is leading all the organizers with $119,000 of new insurance. Sincere congratulations, Sister Milan.

• THE NEXT HIGHEST MAN ON THE list is Brother J. M. Skrabanek, director of District Five. His production from January until the end of September, covering the nine-month period, is also well over one hundred thousand. And our faithful, untiring a n d dependable Brother Senkyrik is the third man with nearly one hundred thousand of new insurance to his credit. i n fact, the list of oragnizers on the front page is impressive. There should have been 73 other organizers listed, too, because we have altogether 98 organizers who worked this year and secured four or more new members. There are 63 additional organizers who wrote either one or two or three members. Altogether we have 161 local organizers who have been active this year.

The certificates which were sold to 1,658 persons represent a total of $2,114,500.00 of new insurance. In the three-month period, covering the contest in June, July and August, our organizers secured $997,000.00 of new insurance.

Stop For School Busses School busses over the state haVe tieW begun the task of carrying thousands of children to and from their studies. soon to be expected are the inevitable tragic reports of deaths and injuries occuring when impatient youngsters dash across busy highways to greet their waiting parents or to board the bus. Most of such accidents could be avoided if motorists would adhere strictly to the letter of the law pertaining to the passing of school busses.

Most Texans are aware of the law which requires a driver to come to a complete stop when overtaking from the rear a school bus which has stopped to receive or discharge school children. After stopping immediately behind the bus, he is then allowed by law to proceed past the mine at a speed "Which is prudent, not exceeding ten (10) miles per hour, and With due caution for the safety of such children."

What many persons do not realize is that the very same rule applies when MEETING a stopped school bus. While everyone is interested in protecting our children, unthinking violators of this simple safety rule greatly outnurnber those who comply. Failure to follow the law in this case can lead to fines up to $200.00 even when no accident occurs.

Following an accident in which some child is injured or killed, the penalties are naturally much more serious.

Although the aboVe rule dces not apply when passing a stopped school bus in a business or residential district of a town, the necessity for extreme caution even in those locations is obvious.

When it comes to overtaking and passing moving vehicles, exercise of ordinary common sense will generally keep a driver Within the law. For instance, when passing a car it is only common sense to proceed on past it a safe distance before cutting back to the right side of the highway. Also, any driver would rea/ize the danger of increasing his speed while another is attempting to pass him.

In the same category is the prohibition against passing on the right under most ordinary conditions. Of course, you may legally pass on the right in a feW specific instances, such as when the vehicle overtaktn is making or about to make a left turn, or upon a one-way street with two or more lanes, cr upon a four-lane highway.

However, our traffic laws state that even when passing on the right is allowed, it shall be done only under conditions permitting such movement in safety. And in no event should such passing be accomplished by driving off the

"No one shall take part in any athletic contest in this League who has ever received money, or other valuable consideration for teaching, officiating, or participating in any athletic sport, or game, or who in any game outside of games played as a member of his school team or the interscholastic League has, within the last twelve months, competed on an athletic team with a paid player or contestants, or who for valuable consideration has allowed his name to be used for the promotion of any product, plan or service."

Teaching, officiating or participation in the following games or sports, for valuable consideration shall be considered as a violation of this rule: Basketball, baseball, boxing, football, golf, rodeo events, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, weight lifting, and wrestling.

Sports and games not mentioned above may be added to the list by the Executive Committee upon one year's notice to the member schools.

The penalty for violation of this rule shall be forfeiture of eligibility for one year from the date of the violation. (See Appendix III, under Article VIII, Section, 8.)

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES DALLAS SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM' Dear Brothers and Sisters: Now that softball season is over, things have quieted down. All we can do is wait and hope for another season at least half as exciting as the one just passed.

Our last season ended with a bang.

The bang being a steak dinner given the players and their wives by Willie and Carlyn Ondrusek.

When the season began, the team was promised a steak supper if they should win the League Championship. As the season progressed, the opponents almost made our steak supper just a story with a dismal ending. But we, wives, fearing we had lost our chance for some good eating, cheered our :team on with the reminder of "steaks".

Now we sometimes wonder if it was the steaks or the idea of getting a trophy that brought our team out of the Slump in time to win the League Championship.

The main reason for writing this letter is to give our sincerest thanks to Willie and Carlyn for making our first softball season such a memorable one.

If we live to be a good ninety-nine years, we won't be able to forget this special occasion. Also, the fact that someone would want to go all out in entertaining the boys and their wives.

This steak feast, with all the trimmings, was an all afternoon affair at White Rock Lake. The trimmings included an ice cold keg of beer—delivered to the lake in a 1914 model T Ford.

Whether it was the cool breeze or the cold beer, we don't knew, but our appetites were enormous. The same can be said for the steaks. Too many cooks didn't spoil this broth as all the "chefs" just out some "just right" steaks. One bite and we all had to agree that these steaks were simply "out of this world."

Another entertainment of the afternoon was rides around the lake in that shiny model T Ford of Willie's Never had so much fun since—Hector was a pup?

Speaking for the team, I can say we will be forever grateful to all those responsible in backing our team, showing interest and giving moral support to this newly-founded adventure.

When this brainstorm idea of organizing a softball team was first brought up in our lodge meeting. I, too, among others was sceptical.

Our lodge president, along with a few of the older members, either saw possibilities or was willing to give the younger

members a chance. We respect the experience and judgement of our older members. So when they decided to back us financially—it gave us a wonderful feeling. After all, this idea was more or less a radical idea with no guarantee of being a success.

We don't know if our elders would consider this project to be a success or not. But we as a team of players, wives and grandstand supporters feel as if we have accomplished something.

If we were ta be asked for an accounting of the material things credited to this project—we could only point to the few new members. As far as we are concerned, there's much more satisfaction in it then just a few new members.

There are those who were members for a longer period of time and never felt as if they "belonged" to the lodge. But who have since found a spark of interest.

Getting together every Wednesday night to cheer our SPJST team, we all became a unit where before we were just familiar faces. As a unit we had to work together and when it came time for our benefit dances (two of them) the unit worked well together. As a result the dances were successful. The work connected with these dances proved that in this colony of members there were some talented and industrious workers.

Then there was the idea of playing in public under the name of SPJST. At the beginning of the season a played on the opposition team was overheard asking another, "What is this STJP anyway?" He wasn't the only one that couldn't repeat the SPJST, letters in proper order. The announcer, too, had trouble. By th p- end of the season they could call out the letter as well as they could say Southland Life, Gulf States or State Farm.

That old Fraternal spirit showed up both on the diamond as well as in the the stands. Wine or lose, our team never lost time in rushing over to the opponents with a "good game bus" That was the spirit that made .us proud of them wearing uniforms displaying the letters S.P.J.S.T. PRAT. INS. All in all, this past season was a lot of fun, although work for some I'm sure.

So even if in future years this idea should have become a forgotten project, we feel right now as if it wasn't all in vain.

Fraternally, Lillie Jarma Editor's Nate:—Splendid and stimulating report. Let us hope it will be read

and followed in other places. We sorely need more projects of this type to create and cultivate the spirit of "belonging". Many thanks for your report.

NEVER FORCE THEM TO EAT A mother came to see Dr. Thurman B. Rice, PrOfessor of Public Health, Indiana University. She was worried because her son wouldn't eat his spinach.

"Does he like strawberries and cream?"

Dr. Rice asked.

"Of course." ,give him strawberries and cream!"

Children must eat to build their growing bodies, and they like , to eat unless daily 'meals have become a source cf irritation and tension due to exaggerated care and worry. Nutritionally speaking, strawberries and cream were excellent for the child. The really important fact was, however, that he liked strawberries and detested spinach.

Dr. Flanders Dunbar, one of our leading psychiatrists, says, "In general, let your child eat as much as he likes or as little as he likes, and, in so far as possible, when he likes. If you are able to feel this way about it, you will find that ,he will eat enough, not too much, and make himself a reasonable time schedule."

It is an old experience that most mothers are afraid their children will eat too little. Actually a child does eat when he is left to himself (within normal limits), and he does eat' what he needs.

Some years ago an experiment was carried out by the pediatrician Dr. Clara M. Davis. A group of fifteen children, age six to eleven months, was observed for periods varying from six months to four and a half years. A large assortment of cooked and raw foods were served to them, three times a day. In the dining room each child had his own small table and all the foods were placed before him, each food in a separate dish. Empty dishes were promptly refilled. The attendarits were trained to refrain from talking or displaying any interest in what was eaten.

All the children ate with keen appetite. It was not unusual for some children to eat three or four bananas at .one meal or five to seven servings of potatoes. One child drank a quart of milk . at the noon meal besides other foods. Yet none Was fat; all were healthy. )Dr.• Davis' study showed that children could chose their diets and thrive without adult direction as to what or how much to eat. From the analysis of the 36,400 meals eaten by these chi'. dren, it was apparent that their food intake in calories, proteins, carbohydrates and fat 'conformed closely to generally accepted standards.

To the bereaved relatives of our de-

ednesday, October 13, ' 10 4 ceased brothers and sisters, the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, expresses its heartfelt sympathy J. F. Chupick, Secretary Supreme Lodge, SPJST • 4•( NO WILL? THEN LAW SAYS WHO INHERITS Who will inherit your property? Your husband, wife, mother, father, children, your wife's relatives? The best way you can say who will have it is to provide a will which will protect your rightful beneficiaries and dispose of your property in accordance with your wshes.

When a deceased has no will, or dies "intestate" as the law calls it, the property of that person is distributed according to a detailed formula fixed by law. In some cases this may be the way you yourself would divide it - but in many cases it is not.

The, provisions of the law concerning the distribution of the property of a person who dies without a will are rather complicated, and all of the possibilities cannot be covered by a general state ment.

There are different rules for real estate and for personal property, for community property and for separate property, for homestead property, and for all of the many possible combinations of surviving relatives. Each situation must be carefully studied to determine the correct distribution of the property.

For example, here is a general idea, of how the community property which you and your spouse accumulated will be devided of you do not make a will prior to your death.

If your husband or wife survives and there are no children, the surviving spouse receives all of the property.

If, in addition, there are surviving children or descendants of deceased children, they would divide one-half, of the property, while the surviving spouse would receive the other one-half.

Of course, grandchildren do not share in the estate unless their parent who would inherit is deceased. And when descendants of previously deceased children do inherit, they receive only the portion' that the child would have re ceived, regardless of the number of such descendants.

An odd note, perhaps, is that the surviving spouse already owns one-half of the community estate prior to death, and the law adds nothing to this share where there are children surviving.

When there are only children and their descendants surviving, they divide the entire community estate between them. -- Contributed by L. 0. Ho&ek

WATCH FOR THAT MANIAC KILLER Three years ago, shortly before Christmas, the newspapers were full of warning. The Deadliest Killer—so the newspapers labeled the maniac—was poised to strike his millionth victim dead, in some horrible way. Everybody was warned that this murder would occur not later than December 21, 1951.

Yes, everybody was warned ahead of time. But nobody seemed very much concerned. If you broached the subject to your neighbor, if you mention that the doomed victim might even be he, or, yes:even yourself, about all the response you got was a shrug. People climbed in their autos as usual and drove around the country, knowning that the 1Vlaraucicr was roaming the streets and highways, but hoping when they dared think „bout it that he was, of course, after a_mt .body else.

So there he was, on the eve of the Christmas holidays, smacking his lips on his millionth victim. For fifty-one years, three months and seven days the Deadliest Killer had been bloating himself on a diet of mangled human corpses. What a river of blood and gore had kept swelling and rollicking and broadening in his trail! In the United States in. 1907 he crushed ,cut 666 lives. Two years later he was doubling the kill. Next year he was trebling ,it. By 1945 he was smashing the bones, ripping the flesh and splattering the lifeblood of American men, women, children and babies at the rate of 28,076 a year. No wonder the safety experts knew that the law of averages ruled inexorably, and that by about December 21 that year the millionth victim was bound to die!

And who is this Deadliest Killer? He nves :n your garage. He is the beloved Mindy auto. What a cherished, indispensable servant he is when you manage him properly! * But what a blind, ruthless demon of death he _becomes once you let him out of hand for only a fraction of a second!

Two years after his millionth victim died, 76,000 more persons were carried, in some mangled or charred form, to the ;I . a vevard. Did yz:u know that that is more people than died from the second ittom bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, on AuguSt 9, 1945 (dead 73,884)?

During the same two years, down to December 20, 1953, another three million persons had escaped death but were maimed, mangled or injured from motor accidents. Did you know that an enemy power could not injure more peole if he crippled every body in the state of Alabama? Or everybody in Buenos Aires, or Mexico City, or Berlin, or Leningrad?

Since 1899; says the Casualty and

Surety Company of the United States, 80,000 more Americans died from "guided missiles" roaming her streets and highways than from all the wars Americans ever fought — this includes the Revolution and the Korean fracas.

At this rate, of almost 40,000 deaths a year, the Deadliest Killer—your auto and some 56 million others like it— would devour his second millionth life in less than half the time it took him to dispatch his first million.

The Killer is after every one of us.

WHERE THERES A WILL For many years Eugene F. I3essey and his wife Grace lived together in their comfortable two-story brick home at Crystal Lake, Illionis.

In order that no one else could ever live in the home where he and Grace had been so happy togther, he willed that it be destroyed.

A year and a half after the death of his wife the lonely industrialist gave himself up to his grief and committed suicide. He was 65 years old.

A Chicago bank, executor for the estate, recently brought a friendly lawsuit asking for a rulling: Should the house be destroyed in accordance with Bessey's wishes, or would its destruction be against public policy? A Chicago court must decide. ) 418 • f In a small southern town, a young voice called the telephone repeatedly one day to ask, "What time is it now, please?"

ADDRESS BY JUDGE DURELL MILLER Attorney for Hochheim. Prairie Mutual of Yoakum, at the 19th Annual Meeting of the Texas Association of Mutual Fire and Storm Insurance Companies, at the Driskell Hotel, Austin, Texas.

"I have no doubt that Judge Chernosky was consulted, and I have no doubt that he premised to appear before you, here in this room, at this hour, to speak to you.

"He has not kept his promise. Now this was not characteristic of Judge Chernosky. His work was his bond. Yet the fact remains, that he promised to be here in this room at this hour, and so far as we know or can perceive; he is not here.

"Judge C. H. Chernosky loved his insurance association, he loved his friends' whom he met year after year in this convention, he loved his fellow-man. He inteneded to be present in this room with us at this hour, and I did not say, he is not here. I said, so far as we know or can perceive, he is not here.

"Do you remember that kind and genial face? I know that yo do, for you knew him, even better than I did.

"Do you remember that soft and musical voice, so full of sympathy, under' standing, and merriment? I know that you do.

"He was a man so liberally endowed by nature that you had only to look upon him in order to feel that you were in the presence of a friend.

"Let us assume that none of you knew Judge Chernosky, and let us assume that one of you — any of you, should have a traffic accident on a lonely road, far from home. Let us assume that you needed help. That a dozen men, all strangers, should appear. Before appealing for help, you would look at the twelve strangers, fleetingly but carefully. You would want to pick out the kindest man in that group before making your appeal. If Judge Chernosky should be one of those twelve men, and remember we are assuming that you did not know any of them, do you have any doubt that he would be the man whom you would select to help you in your time of need?

"You would select Judge Chernosky, because your heart would tell you, that man, though a 'stranger, is my friend.

"Judge Chernosky was going to speak to you on the subpect, Public Relations.

"If he had prepared the address in writing, and if it had been placed in my hands, I could not have done it justice, for the address read by me, would

have lacked the contageous kindness of the writer.

"If Judge Chernosky ware addressing you, here and now, on Public Relations, he might stress the fact that mutual companies sell good, safe, trustworthy insurance, at cost. That they do not charge high rates, so high that their local agents can make living out of commissions, so high that their district officers accumulate fortunes, arid that out of their reserves, in addition to building skyscrapers for their general offices, they have fabulously large sums for investments, "If Judge Cheniosky were speaking he might remind you that, whereas Old Line Companies charge various rates, depending on the distance from the nearest fire plug, and other matters, Mutual Companies treat all members alike; all members not only get wholly satisfactory insurance at cost, but if a member lives, say 20 miles from the nearest fire phig, yet he gets insurance, not only of the same safe and reliable kind received by all others, but at the same rate.

"Because of my lack of knowledge of the subpect, I have made only two assumptions concerning things thet Judge Chernosky might have said to you, had he been here, in the fleshjoday. As one of the organizers of Slavonic Mutual Mutual Fire Insurance Association, he knew more about the insurance than I know, and would have told you more.

"Let me quote from the August 22, 1954, issue of the Houston Post: "C. H. Chernosky, age 69, Houston attorney, since 1924, a former County Judge in Fort Bend County, and 'a former member of the State Board of Education, died suddenly in Brenham at 7:45 p, m. Friday.

"The son of Anton P. Chernosky, a Czechoslovakian immigrant who came to America in 1870, and Mrs. Frantiska Schiller Chernosky, Mr. Chernosky was born . near Kenney, in Austin County in 1885. He had lived In HoUston for 30 years and made his home at 2502 Calumet Street.

"A graduate of the University of Texas, Mr. Chernosky began his law practice in Rosenberg in 1912. He served as Trustee of the Rosenberg Independent School District and as City Attorney for 2 years and also was County Judge from 1915 to 1920. `He was chairman of the Fort Bend County Board of School Trustees from 1922 until 1924 and also helped organize and build the Presbyterian Church USA, there in 1914.

"Mr. Chernosky was a director of 'the

Needville State Bank while living in Rosenberg. He organized the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas and was its president from 1924 to 1948.

"He was appointed a member of the State Board of Education in 1928 and served for 4 years.

"He was one of the organizers of the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association and was a Director and Counsel for the firm until his death.

"He was chairman and moderator of the Home Missions Committee of the Southwest Bohemian Presbytery and also moderator and trustee of the Houston Presbytery. He served as an elder in the Central Presbyterian Church for 42 years and was chairman of the Finance Committee of that church.

"He was a Mason and Shriner and a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, Polish National Alliance, ODDS, Knife and Fork Club, the American Bar Association, State Bar Association, and the Harris County Bar Association., "Funeral services were held in the Central Presbyterian Church at 4 . p.m., Monday, August 23, 1954, Reverend John F. Craig, officiating.

"Judge Chernosky has not appeared here in the City of Austin, in this room in the Driskell Hotel, to address you . at this hour. But he would have loved to be here. There 'was a story that he wanted to tell you, to make you laugh. There were matters of current Legislation up, on Capitol Hill concerning which he had expert knowledge and sound views which he wished to share with you. He knew that he could help, and he wanted to help. There are those among you whom he had grown to look upon as brothers, whose hand he desired to clasp again.

There were wise and hopeful words to be spoken here, to which he wished to listen, and perhaps offer sage and helpful rejoinders. His heart was set on being here today. He was a man of his word. And when this convention is over, and you have returned to your homes, some of you will pause, as if you heard a distant voice calling, a kindly, melodious voice. And you will look about you, though knowing that there could not be any person who could share the experience with you; the experience" of recalling that more than once, during the progress of this convention, your heart glowed with a feeling that our friend, Judge Chernosky, had kept his word, and was here in this room with us."

CHILDREN CAN LEARN TO BE SAFE A nervous mother or father usually feels that the only way to make sure that little Johnny is really safe — that he doesn't injure himself, get run over, or burn himself and the house 'down— is to be at his side every minute, diVecting his activities and snatching any potentially dangerous objects o u t of his hands the moment he touches them.

But that is a system which just will not Work. lli the first place, of course, it is im,Practical. If iVlommy has to spend every Minute of her day hanging over Johnny's • shoulder and following him on his peregrinations through the neighborhood, she will certainly never get her house cleaned or dinner prepared for Daddy's homecoming. , And anyway, it is not effective. Children move so fast and get such unexpected impulses that Johnny can probably, succeed in injuring himself, if he realiy wants to even with Mommy standing right, there with her eyes fixed •i.nr ?him.

Finally, the method is bad for Johnny, in a very definite way. A doting mother a father wha•cannot bear to let Johnhy out of their sight, parents who will not, let a boy play with a penknife, who keep screandng at him to be careful and warning him of the dangers of climhing a tree or swimming in the brook can .easily ruin the child's character.

Johnny may then be safe (although eyen that is doubtful), but he will certa,iply be a timid, helpless being, unsure of. •himself at every step and very badly equipped to face the problems of life in an adult, and courageous way.

The better system for avoiding acci,dents with your children is to teach Ahem safety, to educate them in rules and habits of play by which they may escape the more obvious dangers that lurk all around us. This, in factt, is the -only sensible method by which healthy, active children can be allowed to play unhampered by parental fears and nervous' tensions, while still being as safe s can be reasonably expected in this world full of dangers.

Children, generally speaking, have a great respect for law and crder. They like to live by rules, when those rules are not emotionally charged by adult fears, and will usually gladly obey the vs of safety, if they are sensibly explained. They will even take great pleasure in passing on their knowledge to ottier children, and thus keeping the younger ones safe.

For instance, your child will soon learn the rules of traffic safety, if you point them out to him quietly: Do not

Norma V. Jackson) cross against a red light. Crass at crossings, after checking the traf fle signals.

Look both ways before stepping off a curb; and so on. To keep your child safe, impress him with the dangers of traffic.

Tell your child that there is no reason in the world why he should ever play in the street. For ball games and other activities that need space, there are open lots or parks available almost everywhere. Playing games in the street is one of childhood's most dangerous habits.

Another region which should be forbidden to children at play is the vicinity of railroad tracks. A child should never be permitted to enter upon or cross tracks without adult guidance. For that matter, adults wiCuld do well to avoid such regions themselves.

Make it a practice among your children to pick up broken glass, rusty nails, rocks and large sticks that chance to be lying around your property. This precaution is a simple one, but it can prevent many serious cuts and bruises.

It should be an invariable rule in your house that no young child is permitted to handle matches. If matches must be made use of in the course of the day, their handling should be limited to the older, more responsible youngsters.

These older children should be taught hoW to handle fire safely, by striking a match away from themselves for example. Another rule is to light a fire outdoors with the wind blowing away from them.

However, if a child should play with matches and his clothes do catch fire, he should be taught that it is a mistake to run. Instead, he should roll in the grass or on the pavement, or wrap a coat or rug tightly around himself.

A child should know that he must never play with electrical appliances.

While even the youngest child can safely turn switches on and off (provided they are properly installed) and usually takes great pleasure in such activities, he should be taught that he is never to attempt to plug in a wire or otherwise manipulate the appliances, and his play of this kind should be limited to his own range of electrical fixtures, such as his phonograph or bed light.

According to the suggestions recently issued by the Minnesota Public Health Association, as reported by the Science News Letter: "As soon as they are old enough, children should be taught something about first aid. Even a 7-year-old can learn

not to rub his eye when there is something in it, to stay out of the hot sun unless he is protected from the rays, and to stay away from unfamiliar Plants and weeds."

An investment of inestimable value for a child is swimming lessons. Your child should be taught the rudiments Of keeping afloat the moment he begins to move about in water under his own steam. Later on, as early as possible, he should receive formal lessons and be taught to handle himself with safety in water, never to go after eating and so on.

But even if a child knows how to swim, according to the Minnesota authorities, he should not be allowed to go into the water alone.

Furthermore, he should be taught the techniques of rescue work. For instance, he should be made to realize that jumping into• deep water after a companion who is in trouble is of no use unless the rescuer can swim well enough to take car of both the victim and himself.

Further rules for swimming safety published in a recent Science News Letter can apply to adults as well as children: "Do not rely on water wings, old inner,tubes or other air-filled toys to hold ycu up if you cannot swim. A sudden leak may leave you struggling without support.

"Swim only at beaches where lifeguards are on duty." (As Science News Letter points out, all of these rules are as important for practiced swimmers as they are for beginners.)

"Do not swim out too far beyond your depth.

"Always make sure you are accompanied by a boat when swimming long distances.

"Never play practical jokes on persons in the water, especially those who cannot swim.

"Before diving, cheek on the depth of the water and make sure there are no obstructions hidden below the surface.

This is especially important at the low tide.

"Don't go in the water immediately after eating. If subject to cramps, wait for at least two hours and then do not go in water beyond your depth.

"If you have a heart impediment, be very careful to avoid sodden shocks while bathing.

"Never swim in polluted waters that have been condemned by the Health Department.

"Watch the babies and small children.

Many toddlers will daringly follow gfown ups or big boys and girls into the water.

If they lose their footing or are covered by a wave, they may be drowned before they are missed, unless someone haS the job of keeping constant watch over them."

Such sensible teachings as these can do their part in keeping your child as .safe as is humanly possible from the many accidents that can ' befall him.

The great lesson you'can teach, however, is no one rule or group of rules, except the simple precept, "Be Careful."-, Every accident is the result of someone's carelessness. If you want your child to be reasonably safe, instill in him the notion of taking care, regardless of what he is doing or where he is. This can be done calmly and sensibly, Without hysterical fear or unwarranted terror on the part of either the teacher or the child. Once the lesson is well Jearned, your child will have a safeguard that no amount of supervisory care can replace.

It is not necessary to teach a youngster to be timid and backward in order to be safe; neither is is necessary to drive him to be foolhardy in order to appear "brave." If you are sensible in your teaching, your child will know the dividing line between timidity and accomplishment on one side and common sense and foolhardiness on the other.

By being careful, he will be able to live a normal life of doing and enjoying and still be fairly safe from acci—Your Psychology. dents.

Pani ProSkova, nechtela dlouho privolit, aby tarn matka zustala, ale kdy'Z' si riei nedala, musila jit. "Aby yam psi nezabehli," upozornila, odchazejic ze staveni.

"Neboj se o to, ti vedi dobre, kde ochrany hledat, id se nas nespusti."

Vskutku take chodil Sultan i Tyrl v patacit za babieko-u, a kdyZ si sedla s vretankem k oknu, z neho2 bylo videt na reku, lehli k jejim noham. 'Vor ga, zvyi:la , jsouc na ustaviene Sukani, myti a nejeeni, dala se do poklizeni prazdnYch chlivka, aby neco delala, nepomyslic, ze za hodinu snad vodou -a bahnapineny budou.

Smrklo se, vody vic a ViCe. • otva jiZ korytb struhy postaeOvalo; louza spla yem byla jiZ pod vodou, a kde t:mau vrbovi neprekalelo, videla babieka z okna, - ackoliv staveni nizko leZelo a breh reky vysokY byl, kolisani se vin.

OdloZila vretanko, sepjala ruce a zaeala se modlit. VorSa 'priSla take do sed-

Ve stie,du, tine 13. rijna nice. "Veda hucl, as je eloveku ouzko poslouchat; zver jakoby citila, ze se neco bode dit, je schovana, ani vrabce neni videt," povidala; opraSujic u oken lavici.

V torn se ozval konsk9' dusot, po silnici od splavu pddil jezdec; a staveni zarazil a krikna: "Chrarite se, lids, voda jde!" padil jednim cvalem podel brehu ke mlynu, ode mlynu k mesteeku.

"Panbah s nami, nahore zie, poslali veStbu," pravila babieka, zblednouc.

NeZ ale piece VorSe domlouvala, aby se nebula; sla jests jednou podivat se, zdali vSe v bezpeei a voda se jests nevyliva. Zastihla u reky pana otce. Mel vysoke boty nad kolena a ukazoval babiece, ze jiz z reky se vyliva i ze struhy.

Pri gel take Mila a Kudrna, nabidnout se babfece k pomacce, by sama v staveni zustat nemusela; babieka ale poslala Kudrna dome. "Vy mate deti, kdyby Panbtili dopustil neStesti, delala bych si z toho svedomi. Ma-li kdo s nami stat, at' zustane Jakub, jemu se to lepe prisluSi; a v hospode hos nepotrebujou, tam neni strachu, leda by se jim vocia do chliva dostala," RozeMi se.

Do ptilnoci bylo ji2 staveni obklopeno vodou. Po 2ernovske strani chodili de se svetly; pan myslivec priSel take k staveni na strati, a veda, ze babieka sotva spi, volal a hvizdal, chte se davedet, jak je. Jakub se mu ozval z okna ze sednice, ze bdi, aby se pani ProAkova o matku nestarala, naeeZ pan myslivec je eels odeSel. Rano bylo videt adoli jedno jezero.

8aty byly bledezelene s drobnSin kviteeken-i, mely vysokSr, zraseny volan na sukni a krajkovou vlaku na Zivutku.

Dora byla ted' je gte hezei, neZ za svobodna. Trochu zkulatila, ale jen kolem bokil a v peprsi, pas mela frt1ST jako proutek.

A jak se umela ueesat.,Vlasy se ji tak ptivabne vinuly kolem vela a pies ougka v pfirozenych vinach, Ze•to ani nejlepgi kadernik lepe nedovedl.

Plat' mela jiz zase eistiou, prostou gerednVch skvrn, ktere ji hyzdily pet porodu. Oei se ji earovne leskly.

Nu. Jan byl presvedeen, Ze mu ji budou vgichni zavidet i s panem piednostou.

KdyZ men jiZ odejet a Dora strojila Jeniekovi ka gieka a potioovala tchVni jak a kdy mu ji ma dat, povidala s povzdechem: "Ja mam z toho nakej strach, maminko. Raci bych nejela nikam."

"Prot?" tchVne se divila. "Ja sem se dicky tegila, ale Jenda je takovej — "Snad se nevopije?" marninka se lekla.

"To ne, ale von je hrozne iarlivej."

Bojacne pohledla na tchSrni. Ta se zasmala a spraskla ruce. "To je blazen. Ma to to po tatovi. Miij, neboZtik byl taky takovej. No, ale nic si z toho nedelej.

Ja sem se just bavila a vono . ho to lakego."

Dora si vzdychla. Videla, Ze Jendova matka to bere na lehkou va.hu a nechtela na nej Zalovat.

Jenda p •igel ye svateeni uniforme a pekne oholen i ueesan.

Opravdu mu to slugelo, k musela na .clivilku na v gecko zapomenout a pro tu chvili setrasti 1 strach. Jan Slabina byl opravdu hezkST elovek. Vypadal mane a mel inteligentni oblieej.

KdyZ byl v dobre nalade a jeho eery spal, tu se tvaill moudre a take tak mluvil. Mel hlabokV hlas, kterV se Zenani u man libi a opravdu se umel choNat. Ov gem, kdy byl v dobre nalade.

Dora se na nej divala se zalibenim, ale mela v nitru tajnV strach.

"Pro pana krale, jen, shy to dobi'e dopadlo," a pill torn si umihovala, ze bude venni opatrna a nepusti ani na chvil-

WEST. =AS ku se zretele svilj zrak, smith a eel zevnej gek. Na Zadneho Mae se ani neusmeje, aby nemel ptielnu k Zarlivosti.

Viak jiZ supal v zataece a Dora davala tchYni posledni informace. "Jenom to nedejte Jeniekovi horkSr a dyZ bude spat, tak ho nechte, aZ se vyspi, teprVe mu pak tu poliveieku vohrejte!"

Letos byla zima mirnejsi, mrzlo vice na holo a snehu nebyly takove spousty jako loni.

Tim i slaba u vlaku byla ,lehei. Kerbolec uz spou gtel zavory a kdy se Slab/inovi postavili nedalekla, tu se poObratil a povidal se zakrivenYm itsinevem.

"Tak vede g panieku na vejstavu? Co, pekna je, i draho dost," a tak se jizlive zasnil,:Ze Doke bezdeky ztuhla krev v Jana: se to take neprijemne dotklo. Udelal — e— -- a jiZ se mel se - enou do vozu. Jizdu meli zadarmo a byli tam hned. Net si Dora urovnala pod plagtem gaty, jiZ zase vystupovali.

Nadrani hotel byl krasne osvetlen, planul ye tine jako majak v moil a hudba se jiZ linula do noci jako siren.

V sale byla spousta hosti a krasne nastrojenYch Zen. Byla tu smetana z celeho okoli a v gecky rodiny •Zelezniearti, od idednika az ko poslednimu skladnikovi.

Pani trat'mistorva mela snad nejpekriej gi gaty a pani strojvildcova, mela snad d'ccela po velkomestsku, s velmi hlubokVni dekoltern.

Bylo tu mnoho parady, jako by.Zeny predstihovaly jedna druhou.

Dora mela•aty Celkein jednoduche, ale jak ji slu gely. Nejedna pani se po ni zavistive ohledla a dye, ktere byly odtud ze stanice, se gtuchaly a povidaly: "To je Slabinova. Ta, co ma to dite s Kolarem." Opovoitlive ohrnuly nosy.

"Takova a taky se cpe do lep gi sp0leenosti," dokladaly.

Pan inspektor Kolak se bavil se sleenami ze sousedniho . mesta a ze zabehlickeho zamku. Na Doru se ponekad usmal, ale zatim si ji nevgimal.

Pan Butr zaplat', ta byla rada. Jenom aby ho osvitil Duch svatY 'a dal ji pokoj celcu floc. Pak b y to snad proglo bez nehody.

Kdy2 tu uvidela pana spravce od inch ze zamku i milostpani, mela radost, jako by byla doma. Patrala zrakem ye spoleenosti a poznala take -sleenu Olgu.

Nespou g tela ji s Oei. Obdivovala jeji krasne gaty a - u glechtilou tvar. Opravdu, Olga byla hezka, byla takova valna, jakoby zamy glend, nebo smutna, Dora citila, jak ji ma rada.

"Jakpak bych ho neznal? To je pokladnik z Mikgina. Fe gak elovek a yeselej spoleenik."

Dora se stale ohlizela po Olze. Ze by s pokladnikem mlavila? Je to snad jeji nova, laska?

Potom v gichni tancili, byl to jedinV rej a jedind krasa. Hudba to byla vojenska, a ta, paneoku, to umela. I kdyby elovek neumel ani knout, pfl ni taneil sam. Ta povidala noharn i srdci.

Dora tanalla stale. Byla tak hezka, to ani sama. nevedela. Ti, kteri ji neznali, se domnivali, Ze je nejakou gleenon z fireclnicke rodiny, dcerou prednosty stanice, nebo trat'mistrova a malem se ji dvorili. Opravdu se musela ti prilis na pozoru.

Kdy2 s ni nekterV tancil po fret, tak a se poclekovala a rekla, Ze je zadatia, aby odpustil.

Kioneene pi-igla v tanci tesne vedle sleeny Olgy a mohla se na ni pouganat.

A sleena Olga zazaiila a stiskla ji loket. "Dorotko! To mam raclost, ••.Z.e-je vidim. Jak se ma g ? A co dela clet'atko?"

"Dekuju pekne, sleeno. Je zdrayo, A co vy delate, taky ste pri gla na bal?"

"Na gi inne prinutili. Je to tu hezke."

"Je -- krasne hrajou."

JinY par je rozrazil a vice k sobe neprigly.

Olga tanaila skoro stale s pokladni-kern z Mik gina a Dora je v duchu obdi-vovala, jak jim to spolu slugi.

JiZ nebyly pochyby, Je to nova znamost, sleena Olga asi na adjunkta Andela zapomnela. — V pillnoeni pkestavce .sedel pokladnik s pani a panem spra y -cemavktelispoen.

"Protole byla volenka a to se jen vopleci," povidala Dora na svou omluvu," to je Zen‘skej tanec."

"Tak pod'ine spolu,' tekl honem Slabina, vzal Zenu k Wadi a odvedi ji od Kolate.

"No, tos mohla s nim it,' povidal, "pro jednou by nebylo tak sic. Ty vAecko delis do diisledku."

Dora se kousla do rtu. Pohledla na mute s vYeitkou: "A ty ses pokaidY inej. Jednou me chce zabit a po druhy —" Nejradeji by byla plakala, ale on ji stiskl a povidal: "Prosim te, zaeinej vo torn eke na bale! Beztak to vSici vedi a kamaradi do me rejou."

Dora se ttasla. 1VIela strach, r2e to bude miti jeAte nejake dozvuky a. Ze zaene Jenda nejakou hadku.

On vaak byl alibi a usnievavY, doma se ptal matky, zdali byl Jenieek hodnST a mohla-li spat a vypravoval, jak se zabava yydatila.

Dora byla At'astna, Ze to tak proko a hoed zase odlokla vS'echen hnev a byla take vesela. Mnoho se jiZ nevyspali, ptesto vSak vstavala rano dile a prace ji sla dobte od ruky. koda vAak, ze opravdu mukun nee° v hlave pteskakuje.

Teprve za par dnti, kdy matka odjela, Dora zapomnela na ples a ifecko co bylo s ni spojeno, cosi se Jenclovi v hlave rozleZelo.

"A prod's vlastne neSla s tim Kolatem tancovat?" zaeal z nenadani.

"To tak vypada, jako by ti pteci jenom nebyl tak lhostejnej, jak se delay.

No, pookej, mluvme spolu uptimne a vecne. Dyby ti do nej nic nebylo, tak bys s nim Ma jako by nic, jako ja sem Oct s tou frajli, co tam byla s nim. Zes tys s nim neSla, to je rial4 napadn."

"Bole, na co ty zase myslit a co potade v tej hlave ptemYla g?" zy olala Dora v'Secka postraSena. "Co zase clines? Mrzi te, Zeje svatY pokoj?"

"Nemrzi. Ja, si nic neptejti tak vroucne, ja,ko abychom spolu dobte kli, ale prave proto chci, aby bylo jasno. Heled', dyt' se mi ptiznej, jestli se ti Kola t libil a ja, ti to vodpustim."

Jenda vypadal tak divne, Ze se na nej Dora zadivala, jako by to opravdu nemel v hlave v potadku.

"Ja, myslim, ze ses zblaznil," zvolala poboutene a bolestne. "Ty bys mi tak nee° vodpustil! Ja myslim, Ze by me to stalo Zivot."

"Teda proto se ne/MIZe g ptimat, Ze se me bojig ? Chudinko! Mne je to Tito. Jen mi to tekni, ja ti nic neudelern, k tomu te main aZ mod rad."

A g el Doru obejmout, ale pit torn it tak divoce stiskl, Ze myslila, Ze zlomi v ease.

Zlostne se mu vytrhla a povidala: "Co si rnyslig ? .Dej mne pokoj, ja a tebou nemluvirn!"

Byla z toho mrzutost a maim by by-

Ve stkedu, dne 13. kijna 1954. la Dora bita.

Jan zase hrozil, to deck° zabije, je nemate videt, to je to jeho natesti a jeho hanba.

Dora hrozne plakala a nakikala, to by radeji nebyla tiva. Prod pry si ji Pan Buh nevzal i s Jeniekem, alespori mohla bkt vSeho uSetkena.

Kdy to iekla, to se dal Jenda do kkiku a do na • ku, to takova, slova nema ani y ypouStet z ust, coby z nej bylo bet ni.

Potom ji zase na kolenou prosil, aby mu odpustila a tak se to opakovalo s malkmi Prestavkami stale.

Ubozi a nerozumni lide! Jak si dovedou tak easto a zbyteene, ba i hkiSne ztrpdovati tivot, kterk je i tak piing tetkk.

Panstvo ze zabehlickeho zamku nejezdilo vtdycky na zastavku, chteli-li si nekam vyjet. Kdyt vezli zavazadlo a chteli je podat, museli na stanici do MikSina.

Oast() tam nasedali a k Win zavazadlu museli do kancelate. Pokladnik Zvolskk byl jests svobodnk, ale jit pomkgel na teneni.

Sledna Olga se mu odjaktiva libila a ted' mu napadlo, to by si ji mohl vziti.

Zadal se o ni zajimat a kdyi Prigel sladek, nebo duchodni, meal s nimi schvalne hovor o spravcovkch. Brzy od nich zvedel, to sledna Olga nema znamost, ac je ji jiz tHadvacet let ate by se jiste vdavala, kdyby se ji hodilo neco dobreho.

Pokladnik to dal na starost panu stareflux. To byl takovk vSudybyl a valutala, kterk vSecko vedel a nikoho se neostkchal.

Ten to kekl u sprayed. Povidal to panovi, to se sledna Olga ohromne libi "kasirovi" ze stanice a to jak On, sladek, ho zna, je to potadnk Vovek. S nim by sleena riechybila.

Spravci to bylo vhod. Povidal to v ro dine a kekl Olze rozumne: -Neni nad statni slutbu. To je same., jistota. Co mam ja v panske sluthe? Abych se stale teas. Ne nadarmo se kika, ze to panska laska po zajicich beha.

Statni akednik je pekne pod pensi a nic se nernate stat. Nenutim to do nieeho, Olenko, ale kdybys mela rozum —" Olga si povzdechla. Svou prvni lasku jit pochovala — bylo ji to celkem jedno.

"Tot' se vi," povidala, '`'at' se mdm dobfe. — ChceS-li, tatinku, tedy si toho pokladnika vezmu."

Proto byli na torn teleznieakskem plesu a pokladnik Zvolskk se Olze zalibil.

Opravdu byl pkijemnk a jemnk.

Od to doby se dasto stkkali, ba, Zvol-

Olga se bavila a dvokeni pokladnikovo ji lichotilo.

Jenom kdyt byla sama, vzdychala a vzpominala na Andela. Vzpominala na neho ut jenom jako na krasnk sen, nebo, jako na mrtveho — — — A hnedle jit se mluvilo o zasnoubeni.

U sprayed to vedli podle pkedpisu. Pasi velmi potrpela na etiketu, proto melo bkt zasnoubeni verejne prohlaSerio.

To jit bylo v lete, kdyt jednou pkiSla Dora donni do zamku.

Maminka trochu marodila, potkebovala si odpodinout, tak si pozvala Dorotku.

Josefka byla jit take na katdou chvilku a tak s tou nic nebylo. Dora rnohla vice prospeti.

Jenieek jit byl rortomilk. Sam sedel a rozumel i nekterkm Byl stale slabouekk, ale eipernk. Nikdo by ani nevekil, to je to dite osmimesieni.

Dora s nim byla na dvoke. VeSela tam pradlo mezi dvema mohutnkmi kaStany, na net si uvazala Srifiru a klouee sedelo v trave.

Sle.ena Olga Sin do zahrady a u nich se zastavila. Melo, elegantni bile Saty a giroky, zahradni klobouk. Nesla si knihu a koSidek s rueni praci.

Milostpani spravcova, preAla jit prve kolem, ale to nikdy nebkvalo jejim obyacjem, aby na lidi ze dvora promluvila.

Olga byla Dona,. Ji ovanul prave yeas duch doby. Zilstala stat s Dorotkou a vyptavala se ji na dite a na jeji tivot. Jea zdrava a ma-li hodneho li mute.

Dorotka fekla, to je ate ma. Pkece ji nemohla povidat o sve trarnpote, jak ji trapi Jendova tarlivost.

Ostatne, vtdy se tim uteSovala, ze zarlivost je sestrou lasky, ty d ye viastnosti, ze chodivaji spolu ruku v ruce. Olga pravila, ze ji toho pkeje ate ona se take bude vdavat.

"U2 brzy," pravila, "jeSte do poctzima.

Myslim, 2e to bude asi koncem srpna."

"Pan ZvolskY je faak," povidala Dora oblatiena sleeninou blahosklonnosti, "a ja vain z due pkeji, abyste byla ‘St'astna."

"Vezmu si take 2elezniedi'e jako ty," s itsmevem koneila Olga a minila jiti dale. Dora se usmala a dovolila si °tatku: "A na pana Andela jit ste zapoinnela slednO? Ten vas mel tolik rad."

Olga se smutne usmala. Divne ji to zacukalo obodim.

"Na tak velkou lasku se nezapomina,

Kdy na panstvi je tak pomalk postai)."

"To je Skoda, dyt ste ho mela taky ra,da," politovala Dora.

"Zvolskk je hodnk a ja si ho vatim," pravila Olga po male pomldce, jako by ni byla uctila pamatku mrtve Lasky, "doufam, to budeme spolu St'astni. Ma7. tinka kika, to nekdy je Acta trvanlivejSi net laska. Tatinkovi se libi .jeho postaveni."

JeAte chvilku povidaly net Olga odeSla. Dora za ni hledela a pak se puskila dale do prace.

Maminee bylo lepe, povidala; ze v,obotu mute jit Dorotka domd. "Tot' vik!' pravila dceki, "aby si Jenda zase neco nemyslel."

"Na koho pak by tarlil?" tatik se;zasinal.

"Tieba na starkho nebo sladka, ne?" Pan stark byl tak throstY, ze si pro bricho nevidel na nohy a AlikeS byl nejstar gi koei. Vypadal jako 4rakon,A Dorotka se take smala a povidala: blazen je dost velkej."

Natitki se neco pkihodilo. Tatinek,jel s panem spravcem kodarem do vzdaleneho dvora a byli tam 'ores poledne,, Brzo po jejich odjezdu pkijel do zamku kodar z mesta a byl to koear pana barona.

V nem seal sam majoratni pan a po jeho boku jeho sekretak. Ve druheni ,koCare nejaci jini pan' a Sli do kandelake. V male chvili yybehl praktikaltt Hora a padil do pivovaru. tkednici a sladovnici behali sein "e, tam. ZdeSene pani a decry vyhledali , ze svkch byte pani spravcova, bleda`ja7 kro zed', stala na chodbe s pani ducted.in, ktera nebyla o nic dervenejSi. Neco hrozneho se deo. Pan baron de= lal nahlou revisi. . .

Dorotka s Jeniekem na, ruce obchaze4la panskY koear a prohlitela si vrane ne, kdy2 vybehla sleena Olga.

Byla jen v domacich Satech a prostovlasa, jak vychazivala jen malokdy. ells= 2e1a, do, staje a' zase zpet a zastavila:, Dorotku. "Neni doma 2adnY kodi? Dorotkp, prosim te, zapkahni do maleho kaarku a pojed' se mnou. Muslin okaratite za papinkem do dvora."

Dora byla prekvapena, ale nelze radostne. Zase jednou si zakoeiruje. Kdy uZ se ji talc, poteSeni nedosta7 lo.

"Prosim, sleeno, hned to bade," zvo7 lala. Odnesla chlapeeka matce. "Musite ho podrtet — ja povezu sleenu do, .POl7 Meek."

Maminka nevetila svkin dim. "No, to

Vzala klouee a Dorotka eistou halenku. Sukni meta stejne Tepsi, jen si vzala na ni prilehavy keZeny pas. Zase ji to jako kdyz byla s y obodna, ba, je gte lepe. ir! wile mela postroj na koni a jri ho vedla ze staje, jiZ zaprahla a v male chvilee vyjela ku brane..

Sleena Olga si ani nevzala kiobouk, alai rukavieky, jen slundenik, aby se neopahla. Tenkrat to bylo nejvet gi ostudou, byla-li sleena osmahla jako sluZka. Dorotko, prosim -Le, co mazes!

Jelig Maria!" vzdychla si Olga a sedela jako na trni.

Dora nesly gela jeji vzdech a byla yesela a klidna.

Den byl krasnY, eervencovy yge polich sralo a priroda byla obtakana bohatou iirodou. Zita se vinila teZkYmi klasy, pknice rezivela.

Jetele byly y kvetu a omamne, sladce vonely. Lipy take kvetly, kde stala, ka pri silnici, tam hludely yeely jako z dalky lomoziei vlak.

Obloha byla, nad tim v S . im jedinou, modrojasnou plani, na niS se prochazelo •hniye, nesnartelne slunce.

"Jed', Dorotko, prosim te, pobidni a jed'•" rikala kaZde chvile, kdyZ Dora do kopce valaSkovi trochu pohovela.

Silni kone byli venku, bud' s pivem, nebo v poll a par koearovYch byl s panem spra yeem ye dvore. Tento start' dobriik pobYval doma pro kaZdY pripad.

July hlava nehlava kenik se potil a. mouthy na nej doraZely a Dora ho stale pobizela.

NeJ dorazily do Polnieek, byl valagek ipine zpenen.

Dora zastavila na dvore a Olga seskoeivgi s kdearku, povidala spe gne. "Mti-,e g jet zpet — vratim se s tatinkem."

"Prosirn, sleono," poslu gne rekla Dora a hued se mela k navratu. Jela pak pomalu, jen co krok, aby si kun todpoeinul a p11 tom se divala po krajine a mela, radost ze slunka a z pohody.

"Go povidaS, OluSko? Ze provadi revisi? Co, proe? JakYm pravem? Co to znamena?"

Pojezdny byl take bled' jako zed' a honem se ptal, co rikali, zdali prijedou take rein.

To Olga ovigern. nevedela. Spechala, aby vyhledala Prachare a data okamSite zaprahnout.

Start' Prachar nebyl tak prodkY. Mel-li pracovat den po dni, od rano do veeera, nemohl se Stvat, ale kdyZ bylo zlea tedy si umel pospiSit. D ru tu prve jen zahledl. Jen letmo mu povedela, Se najednou prijel pan baron. Mnoho pevedel a valne tomu nerozuniel, ale mezi eelediny se easto rikalo, ze je -Lady na panstvi podivne hospodarstvi a kdyby si na to pan baron jednou posvitil, Se by to netovani bylo zatrackate.

Start' MikeS yZdycky rikaval, ze na panstvi rostau delniktam mozoly, firedniktim bricha a panu baronu dluhy.

Sotva mei Prachar zapraZeno, jiz byl pan spravce u kdearu a Olga mu po boku. Jiz nasedli a pobidli: -Tak jen rychle. Ptijela urozend vrchnost, musime bYt , co nej drive doma."

Olga byla ustra genejSi neZ kdyS jell sem.

Tatinek prijel jeji sdeleni s polekanou tvari a ted' byl v oblieeji prima gedivY. A to neznamenalo nic dobreho. Sama nebyla do nieeho zasvecena, nevedela jaky ma tatinek plat a jak s Man vychazi — u nick se zilo na velkenoze, domacnost byla velka a nakladna ji ovgem to neptipadalo nikterak neprirozenYm. Ale dnes, kdy'Z' baron prijel a mama znstala jako by ji vrazil do seine a zaeala se tak hrozne trast a kdyZ byl pan baron takovY zlY a prisny, neeo ji napadlo.

Ted' v torn byla utvrzena. Nebylo pochyby — nahla revise a tatinek nema dobre svedomi — Mho dne bylo v zamku Boni dopuSteni.

Baron radii. Pravil to otevrene, ze byl upozornen na hrozne hospoda,rstvi a ze je ted' o tom presvedeen. ✓ knihach jsou hrozne neporadky.

Pani by se meli stydet!

Spatne vyhlidky. V nejhor gi nalade odjel pan baron ze zamku a zanechal za sebou zkazu a zdegenl. ✓ sobotu se -vratila Dora na zastavku.

Vypravovala to vtecko Jendovi, ale ten se mraeil. "Tak ses tarn dobte ba-vila?

Dora kroutila hlavou. "Je to moZne? A CO slecna Olga? To nebude met ZadnY veno I " "No, taky musi bejt Ziva. Tyso ho taky nemela."

Tak a podobne bylo rokovano a ne nadarmo se rika, ze nebYva Sprochm aby v nem nebylo pravdy trochu. A v tomto povidani bylo pravdy aZ hodne.

Opravdu tomu tak bylo. Baron nagel mnoho neporadkat a mnoho penes se nedostavalo.

Skuteene pak poloZil s yYm dtedniktim nut na hrdlo. Bud' vrati nespravne nahospodatene penize, nebo je vyhazi bez pense na Nelaylo vyhnuti.

Novopeeeni znalci pou gteji se do opravy kuchyriskeho kohoutku, z neho g kape voda, nebo do stavby lode se stejnou vervou a odhodlanim, s jakYmi kdysi odpalovali mid na golfovem hfigti nebo s jakYmi bran ku gelky. Celt' narod oddava se nesporne konstruktivnimu konieku, pro nej g byl ra gen nazev "do-it-yourself".

Zajmu amateril slou gi rilzne pokyny — "vystav-to-sam", nebo "ugij-to-sama".

Vzrfistajici vYznam hnuti spoeiva hlavne na dvou ekonomickYch faktorech. Prvnim z .nich je vysokY naklad na kagdou pravu, vy gadujici slu gby zkugeneho lemesinika. Jeden elovek, kterY se hlasil se skupthy "oprav-to-sam", vystihl situaci velmi prilehave, kdy konstatoval: "Ja sam dostavam za hodinu prate dva dolary. Prot mam platiti instalaterovi tti dolary padesat za hodinu za nee°, co si mohu udelat za sobotni odpoledne sam?"

DruhS7m dinitelem je vzdalenost, della praci vet giny Amerieaml od koneeneho produktu. Zvla gte idednicka trida nepoznala do nedavna radosti, pramenici z vlastnorueni vYroby neeeho hmatatelneho. Dnes vaak miliony Amerieanft ukazuji svYrn znamYm s omluvitelnou hrdo, sti nabytek, kterY vyrobili ye sklepe, nebo tapety, kterYmi polepily pokoj bez jedineho zahybu.

Firmy se stavebnim materialem a nodobnYmi potfebami rychle se ptizpiisobily tomuto novemu sklonu americkeho givota.

Dnes jsou k dostani soupravy, z nich je mono podle planu skontruovati veci od jednoducheho etageru a g po etykitisicidolarovY rodinnY domek.

MoZna, ze "udelej-to-sam" je toliko doeasnou libilstk‘ou AmeriCana, tak jako byl miniaturni golf, polYkani ZivYch rybieek nebo canasta. Psychiatrove v:lak o tom pochybuji. Jeden z nich, kterY chtel prijlti veci na kobylku, nazval novY sitter snahou pfibli giti se "zakladni pravde Iivota" v dobe krise. Jini o nem soudi, representuje snahu eloveka pro sebevyjadfeni, touhu to, ktera je ye stroze organisovanem hospodarstvi dne gka velmi east° nasilne potlacovana. At' je tomu jak chce, jisto je, ze fieetni nepfestanou hned tak malovati pokoje, advokati vyrabeti stoly a prodavaei budovati baseny na plovani.

Tato my'Slenka byla easto vedena tak daleko, ze dodo a g k naprostemu sebeobetovani a zanedbani sebe, aby mohlo bYti udineno dobro jinYm. Ale laska k sobe jest ospravedlnitelna a spravna. Nema-

Strana 27 ze bYt praveho duchovniho vzrastu, kdyby nebylo vy gg lasky k sobe. Duchovni vzrtist znamena jak pesteni a vYvoj kaZde schopnosti a ka2deho -calentu. Znamena to dale vytvoreni symetricky vyvinuteho muZe i Zeny.

Kdy2 nekoho milujeme, posilame mu hodnotu syYch mySlenek. Je-li to druhmySienek snaZivYch, budou nage myglenky pro onoho eloveka skuteenYrn elementem a einitelem Zivotnim a podnetem ke zdravi ale v pomeru, jak onen elovek dovede tyto my glenky prijimati a stravOvati.
