V dervnu, dervenci a srpnu upsali nagl sna'Zivi pracovnici rovnY jeden milion noveho pojigterU, cimz bylo ziskano do Jednoty v techto tiech mesicich 828 dalgich dlenri.

Vagina organisatorri se vyslovila, soutei nebyla ani zdaleka tak jak si mnozi ptedem ptedstavovali. Ba pkevalna vagina tech, kteti se podileli v soute2i, je toho nahledu a ptesveddeni, 2e se mohlo vykonati jegte mnohern vice, kdyby vgichni organisatoti pracovali a kdyby vgechny tady se podilely. Bylo 75 kaclu, ktere do soutne se nezapojily.

Bylo 17 radii, ktere ziskaly po jednom Menu, a bylo 66 tacit', kde ptibylo do du dva nebo vice 'diem). Podrobnosti naleznete na jinem miste v tomto

Jste jeden z organisatorri ye Vagem distriktu, a proto tento dopis je yam poslam co vyzvani, abyste se pokusil uplatniti se v teto praci a pomohl ziskati none eleny v tomto hnuti.

VytdenY cil mute bYti lehce dosa2en, kdy2 vgiehni organisatoti a organisatorky budou spolupracovati, pujdou mezi lid a vysvetli vYhody SPJST iivotniho noj igteni.

Vgechny 26.dosti o poji gteni, ktere budou upsany v mesicich tijnu a listopadu, budou poditany co darek k narozeninam bratra Marka.

Laskave Vas 2adame, abyste obsah tohoto dopisu pozorne ptedetl, vzal v vahu, a pak upsal nekolik novYch v teto akci.

S bratrskYm pozdravem

J. F. Chupick, tajemnik Musime pochvaliti praci onech 114 orR. A. UrbanovskST, ridetni ganisatorri, kteti milion poji gteni ye ttech Jos. Koliha, Jr., pokladnik mesicich upsali. Musime jim gratulovati.

Ba odbivujeme se jim, kdy2 tikaji, Timto provolanim diva se na gim orgajsou ochotni dokazati je gte vice, a lituji nisatorrim dal gi ptile2itost, zvla gte tern, pouze toho, 2e tech druhYch 100 organi- kteti se vyslovili, 2e sotva opravdove zasatorri ptihlaelo neeinne..

Cali, kampari byla u konce. A te2 se naskytuje nova ptilelitost pro ty organisaJako na zavolanou pkichazi dopis, kte- tory, kteki opomenuli zapojiti se do pledrY je podepsanY tkemi hlavnimi Atedni- chazejici soute2e. ky, kterY je adresovanY vSem organisaNekterY Glen si pomysli, "Sotva ptestatorrim, a kterY vybizi k dal gi praci timto zase zadinaji." A co2 neni to Udel vgech uprozornenim: lidi? Neslygeli jste na ge hospodyriky si povzdechnout, 2e sotva uklidila jedno naCOW./ bratke, ctena sestro: dobi, ji2 je tteba pomYglet na Upravu Ptedseda Hlavni ritadovny SPJST, dalgiho jidla? A sotva rolnik door jebratr Edward L. Marek, bude slaviti sve den 16,n, druhY kus pole ji2 pottebuje dojedenagedesate narozeniny dne 4. listo- hledu. V tomto pkipadu je jen ten rozdil, padu 1954. Bylo by to vhodne, kdyby ze na nakm spolkovem poll praeovalo jen

114 delnikri, kdeito melo jich bYti 220.

Seznam pracovnika tak ukazuje.

Proto byl dopis hlavnich fi •ednikri po slan na, vgech onech 220 organisatort.

Nekteti z techto 220 si mysli, 2e se s nimi nepodita, nebo 2e jeden voja.k bitvU nevyhraje. Prave bylo rozhodnuto organisaenim podvYborem, 2e kaalemu nedinnemu organisatoru da se je gte jedna phlaitost. Bude mu v nekolika dnech noslan dopis, aby oznamil, zde pottebuje pomoc. Jestli ano, Hlavni ritadovna mu pomoc poskytne. Pkijede z risttedi nekdo, aby spoleane objeli nadejne prospekty, aby nesmelY nebo nezku genY organisator mohl se nedemu ptiuditi. Organisator o pomoc 2adajici dostane v gechno, co by mu praci usnadnilo.

V anglicke east tohoto eisla je seznam vg ech organisatorti, kteki se podileli na dokoneene ttimesioni soutai. V tomto sle je tez vYkaz, kolik kterY organisator vykonal. A jestli nekterY kid nebyl stoupen v soutal nebo domaci organis6,tor nepracoval, poznate to z toho, ze elslo tadu nebo jmeno organisatora neni v seznamu.

Ale taut° tadrim a organisatorum dava. se nova ptile2itost. Hlavni Utednici a spolupracovnici bratra ptedsedy pti gli na myilenku, aby se upsalo co nejvice ho pojig teni jako darek k 61. narozeninam, kteti tvrdi, 2e se v minule souteii ani nale2ite nerozehnali. Z techto vYrokii je moZno souditi, 2e na gi organisatoll se tak lehce neunavi, ba 2e souta si dokonce libuji.

Kdy2 se rozhledneme kolem, mime 8ta a sta dlent, kde pouze ti nejstar gi jsou v SPJST. Prod neziskati deti starch elenri? Prod nezapsati vnoudata? Prod nevzpomenouti bratrandi a sest •enic a jejich rodin?

Nag e SPJST teprve zadina rusti.

Zajeli jsme si do radove sehilze z Houstonu do Fort Worth, reditel Skrabanek, sestra Olexo yd, redaktor a jeho manZelka. To snad nekton Tide_ maji takovou spolkovou nemoc, Ze se rozjedou 265 mil, aby navg tivili jinY rad a poznali bratry a sestry v jinem bratrskem ovzdu gi. Vlastile to nebyla. Zadna velka obetavost. Sestra Olexova, reditel 8krabanek a redaktor museli stejne konati cestu z Houstonu do Temple, kde nasledujiciho dne mela bYti scfatize Hlavni Uradovny. phvstalo se, vyjelo se drive, a jelo se do Temple oklikou pies Fort Worth.

Nejsou ty nage fadove sehfize vgeehny stejne. Nebylo by na zdvadu, abychom jeden druheho. Mnohenm bychom se priueili, mmohou dobrou vec bychom odkoukali, a na nanohou vlastni chybu bychorn Casein Obyeejne zname schtze jen sveho vlastniho A kde se radovY predseda nevymenuje, tam samortejme jsou schtze die ustaleneho vzoru. Proto navAteva jineho radu a postup v jine schuzi pod vedenim jineho p •edgedy privede hosta na jine myglenky. Doufam, Ze eleni radu Svaz Cechoslovann nebudou zazlivati, kdy2 budou popsdny dojmy nasbirane v jejlch schtizi.

Budova radu Svaz ' echoslovanii Oslo 92 ye Fort Worth milZe smele bYti povaZovana za jednu z nejva gich a nejlepgich spolkovYch mistnosti, vlastnenYch na girni SPJST rady. Ponecham stranou mistnostr a budovy juiYch bratrskYch a sesterskych spolku v Texasu. Rozmer dvorany je snad vets]. neZ v kterekoliv jine SPJST sini, s vYjimkou snad spolkove mistnosti radii Pokrok Rowena 'Oslo 49. Dvorana, ,je \ et gi ne'Z mistnost u raclu Pokrok Houstonu. VYliodou je, budova nema poschoch, ale ma pouze phzemi.

Navgtevnik ph vehodu do sine je kvapen 'radon stole a kolem nich umistenYch Zidli. Obyeejne na ge spolkove sine maji clocela jednoduche lavice, a pro vetgi shromaIdeni bYva,ji improvisovana dodateena sedadla z obydejnYch desek.

Ne vgak v sini radii Svaz Oechoslovanti.

Tam jsou rady stout po obou stranach, dostatek pohodlnych zidli kolem stolt, a ktere stoly jsou pouZivany, byly v nedeli ph schuzi pokryty bYlYmi ubrusy. A nebyla to Zacina schrize slavnostni ,jen nekdo z hlavni tradovny byl pozvan k vedeni asi triceti novYch Menu. Do schtize k tomuto vYkonu dostavil se predseda Marek a reditel Navratil.

Kolem druhe hodiny sedeli eleni pii jedne strane sine ph osmi nebo deseti stolech, kdyZ ozvalo se klepnuti paliekou.

Ve st-Tedu, dne 20. Tijna 1954.

Predseda radu, bratr Bartek, oznanioval zahajeni schtize. A ponevadZ v pozadi mistnosti je kuchyne a nalevna, prvnim upozornenim predsedy bylo,ze obsluha v obou vedlej gich mistnostech je prozatimne zrugena, aby v gichni mohli sledovati prilbeh jednani. To jsou veci, ktere jsou domacim lidern zname, ale pro navAtevnika novinkou, zvla gte kdyZ vi, Ze v jinYch tadovYch mistnostech jsou pomery docela jine.

Prigly dalSi body jednaeiho poiadku ye schtizich, jak jsou vyznaeeny ve stanovach nebo v obradnich kniZkach--hold vlajce, &tern zapisti, dopisti, predloleni n6tti. Pak ptigla novinka, nee° vYjimeerieho, co snad malokde se provadi. Predseda se ptal: "Jsou pritomni natal eleni, kteri chteji podati omluvu, pro' se nemohli dostavit do schtize konane mesic?" U nekterYch radu by mohla bYti "Ziva debata" jen pro takovou otazku. Ne v gak u radii Svaz aechoslovanti. Tam maji pravidlo, Ze nikdo nenavrhnutY ani za firednika, niuze za delegata, ani do vYboru, jestli neni Pritornen v osmi schtizich do roka axlebo jestli nepodd v nasledujici schuzi omluvu sve nepritomnosti.

Jiste se divite, ze neeo podobneho je moZno vymahati u nektereho radu. VZdyt' v nekterYch schtzich sotva je dostateenY poet firednikti, aby schtize mohla se "odbYt." A aby nekomu bylo braneno, aby se nedostal do vYboru nebo do Uradu? Takova vec je u nmohYch Pada neproveditelnd. Nekde jsou radi, Ze mohou pripoutat do firadu nekoho, kclo zabloudi do vYroeni schtze spi ge nahodou. Ale u du Svaz 6echoslovantt toms tak neni.

Tam si sve Uredniky vybiraji a do vYborti voli jen ty, kdo chodi do schtizi a ukazuji stalY zajem. Tarn se nebali zavesti si pravidlo, ze kdo chce bYt firednikem, delegatem nebo 'Clenem yYbcru, musi se vykazati, Ze byl do roka osmkrat ye schtizi. Aby se to dokazalo, pravodei radu gel se zapisni knihou od elena ke 'Menu, aby se kaZdY pritomnY mohl podepsat—osmkrat do roka, ma-li aspirace na jakYkoliv Mad nebo vYbor.

Nekdo od radu Svaz teehoslovanfi mel by naznaeiti jinYm radum, jak je to inane, Ze rad si udrZuje a -vyrnaha slu g gtevu Menu. My v gichni vime,,Ze-nounav kdyZ se zaklada novY rad a vystavuje se mu vYsada od Hlavni iiradovny, novY rad se zavazuje dodrZovati jista pravidla, mezi nimi2 je tez kondni pravidelnYch schtizi v pravidelnem mists v pravidelnem Case. Oeekava se, Ze fad a jeho eleni budou dodrZovati tyto sliby a zdvazky. JenZe s term rady je jako v manZelstvipo libankach se od mnoha alibu upouSti a po letech se na ire Upine zapomene.

Lee jako dva lids ye svazku manZelskem maji povinnosti vilei svY'rn potomkiim, povinnosti virei rovna mistni rad

Ve stfedu, dne 20. fijna. 1954. svSTm dlentim. A jako rodiee se maji starat o vSTchovu a vzrtist deti, takte2 'fad musi dbati o spravnST .2ivot a vzrust ve smyslu spoledenskem a spolkovem. A kde fad Zanedbava sve povinosti, pogkozuje tim eelou organisaci.

Kdy den vstupuje do bratrskeho spolku, nejedna tak jen pro sviij materielni prospech, tfebas tivotrli poji gteni je dtlektou pohnutkou. NovSr den veki, Ze spolek neni . prospechafskSr, ale bratrskSr. V torn smyslu sklacla slib, Ze ony glechetne cue a idealy spolku bude dodrZovati dle sve nejlepgi sehopnosti. A snad praye ono slavnostnej gi uvadeni novSTch dieml do tadu Svaz Oechoslovanti ma nejakk vliv, na to, 'Ze eleni onoho fadu schtize navgtevuji v slugnem poetu, a tim fad mute Vymahati ono pravidlo osmi schtizi do roka.

Novinkou pro navgtevniky bylo ze ph uvadecich obfadech novi eleni byli vitani od vgech dlent podanirn ruky. Ma se to provadet teZ i jinde, ale east° se to Odbude jen povrchne. U radii Svaz Oechoslovant nova uvedeni eleni zustali stall v popfedi, ale eel* kruh musel poi ten nejposledchodovati kolem nich, nejgi Men v kruhu doge' k novSrm elentim a podal jim ruku. Tento pochodujici kruh mohl by se provadeti v gude jinde, kde je slugna navgteva schtize. Pro noveho elena pusobi to dojmem nesmazatelnSrm. "PfemSTglejte o tom a zkuste to u vageho. fadu pri uvadeni novSTh elenu.

V sini radu Svaz Oechoslovanii pozornost navgtevnika je dozajista upoutana peknou tabuli, umelecky upravenou a stale osvetlovanou reflektorem. Na tabuli nadhernST odznak SPJST, lesknouci se peticipa hyezda a inicialky. AnglickS ■ napis vysvetluje, ze fad Cislo 92 je bratrskSim spolkem a Ze mistnost je domoyam bratrstva. A k tomu je dodano, aby kaZdy host a nav gtevnik povatoval to za svuj domov. Je to vlastne pfatelske pozvani, aby host-neelen pfihlasil se za elena. Tabule musi veeer pfi tfPytu a osve-. tleni delati velmi pfiznivou reklamu fadu a cele Jednote.

0 novych iadatelich k fadu hlasuji eleni Svazu Oechoslovanil kuliekami. Tento zpilsob u vetg iny kadti snad Upine vymizel. Pied mnoha lety na ge stanovy nafizovaly volbu kuliekami, bile pro kandidata, eerne proti nemu. Anglicke slovo "ballot" naznaeuje, 2e hlasovani kuliekami bylo kdysi hodne roz gifene, ponevadZ anglickS7 nazev je odvozen z italskeho slova "ballotta"—kulieka. Vzpominam, jak pied 40 lety hlasovano bylo 0 jednorn Zadateli. Schranka s kuliekami byla umistena uprostfed sine, a liaZdST &eh_ byl povinen dojiti k stolku k volts& aby z pfedni pfihradky vybral si Zddanou kulieku a vhodil ji do dirky ye viku, ktere ,uzaviralo zadni pfihradku.

KaZdy se dovtipil, 2e dernSrch kulidek tenkrat pochybelo.

Rad Svaz techoslovami existuje jiz 44 let. Zalolen byl 4. zafi 1910. Kdy postavena byla dne gni moderni budova, na to se nepamatuji. Bylo by dobre, kdyby nekterS7 ze stargich bratra znovu sestavil deliny fadu. Na podobne veci se pomalu zapomina, a bylo by za.hodno ,aby se to cas od easu znovu pfipomnelo. Ve schuzi bylo hlag eno, ;Ze jsou pfitomni dva ni, ktefi pfistoupili k fadu v fijnu 1914, tedy pled 40 lety. NemDim-li se, byli to bratti Jos. Sedan a Rudolf Koei. Oba jsou 'dobfi pismaci, men by svefiti papiru nokolik svSrch vzpominek. Av jednou dojde na sestavovani dejin SPJST—jestli kdy k tomu da, bud' sjezd nebo Hlavni ittadovna podnet—budou takove vzpominky a poznamky miti historickou cenu.

V pondell 11. kijna 1954 konala se pravidelna, schuze Hlavni iikadovny. Do schuze byl pozvan TiskovSr vStor, sestavajici bratra Horkiaka a sester Horakoy e a Olexove. Porada s Tiskovj im vSiborem trvala asi tfi hodiny. Po ()Ude podal svou zavereenou zpravy stavebni vir -bor,ktevnZbylpozvandschtize.

Napfed byla domnenka, 2e stavebni vS7bor b'ude rozpug ten, jak usneseno a protokolovano z pkedchazejici schuze, ale pfig lo se na to, ie stavebni vStor byl zvolen sjezdem. 0 prtibehu schtze, ktera, se prodlouZila a do pate hodiny odpoledne druheho dne, budou podany podrobne zaznamy pozdeji.

V titerST 12. fijna segel se rano o sedme hodine organisaeni vSrbor, aby prostudoval nektera doporueeni a nastinil dalgi naborovou , Cinnost. VSrbor pracoval od sedmi do deviti, a zprava v$7boru byla pozdeji pfedlolena iikedniktim a fediteltim. VSrbor se usnesi pokraeovati na dalgich planech v pondeli 18. fijna. Bezpochyby budou pfijata dulelita usneseni, o nich eleni dostanou zpravy .a vysvetleni. Vgechno nasvedeuje, ze na ge naborova, Cinnost je na dobrSich kolejich, organisatoki jsou nad geni k dalgim vS7konirm, a Hlavni Afadovna sehvaluje projektovane plany.

Ve schfizi Hlavni iliadovny oznameno bylo umrti bratra Engelberta Jelinka, bkvaleho mistopredsedy a dozorce Hlavni fifadovny. Nebylo oznameno, kdy bratr Jelinek zemtel. Zprava o cdchodu bratra Jelinka vyvolala v pisateli techto tadku daleko vet gi ozvenu nee u jinS)ch pfisedicich. Byl to bratr Jelinek, kterST mne uvedi do spolkoveho viru pfed 43 lety. Pracoval jsem v tiskarne dasopisu Texan, vyehazejicim tenkrate v Gran-

Strana 3 ger. Mezi na gim lidem v Granger byl pled 40-50 lety velmi run Zivot spolkovt Existoval tam fad GASPS (nynejgi OSA), byla tam Svobodna Obec, byla tam silna Jednota Sokol, a fad KomenskSr Cislo 20 mel na to dobu nejvetgi, nejnakladnej gi a nejkrasnej gi budovu v celem statu. Jako 191etST mladik nedbal jsern o Zivotni pojigteni, ale vstoupil jsem do Sokola. Bylo to v dubnu 1911, kdy starosta Jelinek pfeeetl mi ye schtizi sokolske sady a zavazky, a kdy sloZil jsem svilj sokolskSi slib. Vzdor rianosti veku—starosta Jelinek byl stark. o nejak ich 25 let—musel jsem ho oslovovati sokolskSrm "ty", nikoliv "vy". Bylo mi vysvetleno, Sokol Sokolu je vZdy bratrem, "ty a ty", a 2e vykani se mezi Sokoly nepoutiva.

Na tato sokolska a demokraticka ponaui deni od bratra Jelinka jsem nezapcnn1 nel. Od neho dostal jsem prvni zaklady k bratrske spolupraci. Proto zaslouZi si ode mne vdeeriou vzpominku.

Kdy zde vzpomenuto demokracie, • tteba znovu a znovu pfipomenouti si, ze v nagem spolkovem styku meli bychom demokraticke zasady prakticky provadeti. KaZdemu Menu je dovoleno navgtevovati schtze jinSrch fan. Jak by se Clen-host citil, kdy by se dostavil do schtze nektereho fadu, a pak po zahajeni schtze byl poladan, aby se vzdalil, Ze se budou projednavati dirverne lelitosti? jiste by host vicekrat do schtize onoho mistniho fadu ne gel; ba znechutila by se mu moana v gechna spolkova, Cinnost, Ze by pfestal chodit take do schazi sveho vlastniho fadu.

Mimodek vyystava otazka, zdall Cleni maji ptistup do schilzi Hlavni itfadovny.

Dejme tomu, Ze se mezi tifedniky a fediteli probird jista delikatni vac. Olen!

Hla.vni atadovny snaZi se, aby vac zustala "pod pokliekou." a dejme tom!, ze pray e pfijde nejaka deputace, ktera ye vlastnim zajmu chce sledovati vS7konnost ✓ ustfedi. Mali eleni volnSr pfistup do schilze Hlavni irfadovnSr? Mail distriktni iffednici pfistup do schtize? Jak daleko saha demokracie nebo kde zaeina, Takove otazky nebo piipady mo• hou se vyskytnout.

Oasto zaslechneme poznamku, ze "Hlavni idadovna a take feditele . .

Toto rozdelovani nebo oddelovani feditc10 neni spravne. Hlavni afadovna je vgech trinact elenu, z nich gest jsou fednici a sedm z nich jsou feditele.

DOPISY A NAHLEDY CLENU Houston, Texas.

Ctend redakce a mini etenati: Tolik jsme natikali na to nemilosrdne leto a ptali jsme si, aby tiF byl ten podrim a aby se nam trochu ochladilo. A tak vidite, vSeho se elovek doeka, jenom bYt trpelivS7 a leceeho se elovek v Fivote doFije. Ted' jak je chladnej g poeasi, mohou lide Olt lepSich prazdnin a jezdit pies hory a roviny, mesta a doliny, at" do jinSich statir. Ja pieji kaFdemu peknSi • vsTlet, jednou za rok si to mute kaFdST dovolit ; a kdy2 se z vYletu vrati, tak pozna., ze je se svYm Fivotem spokojenej g a je rad, ze je doma.

Ja sama jsem se teprve z mojichprazdnin vratila, ad moje neopatrnost se nine malem nevyplatila; ale Fe jsou jeAte lide na svete poctivi, to se dosvedeilo tentokrat rand. Moje dcera, pani Andrews a jeji muF mail chlapce v Austine na universite. Tak nme zavolali, at' se tam zajedeme podivat, ja, Fe dam moje auto a oni prispeji ostatnim. Tak jsme to napied vzali do Buckholts. Mame tam staienku Orsakovu, ktera uF ma 85 roka a bYva u 'dcery, ktera ji dobie opatruje. Ad staienka churavi na srdce, piece jeSte milFe chodit a sama se obslou g. Statenka Orsakova ma uF pet pokoleni lidi, tak jsme si vzali ta pokoleni na obrazek, abychom men •pamatku.

U PoSivalit jsme byli pies noc a rano jsme jell do Austinu. Kdy2 jsme koneene nagi vnuka, tak jsme ho vzali sebou a jell hledat neco k jidlu. Ale Fe byla nedele a vSe bylo zavtene, tak nam to vzalo hodne jezdeni. Uz byly tti hodiny ne2 jsme se dostali poobedvat. Pak jsme navgtivili kapitol, kde je vaecko takove pro lidi jako jsme my zajimave.

Pak jsme se rozloueili s vnukem, kter3"/ nas nerad videl odjadet, ponevadF je tam prvni rok na studiich. Loni byl v A. &M. v Bryan, ale Fe tam byli sami chlapci na studiich a 2adne holky, tak letos si vybral universitu v Austinu. On Fe nechce bSrt jako ten jeho strSrc, lotiF rxraj syn Allen, starSrm mladencem. A jak videt, hledi si toho, dokud je mladSr. Z Austinu jsme jell do Buchanan Dam, tarn jsme si zrentovali kabinu. Muj zet' je velikY rybat, at' uF chytne neco, anebo nic, piece tarn bude sedet ceV7 den.

Vgchni dohromady jsme nachytali dost na malt obed, ae ho to stadia moc vice penez neF kdyF by si je bSrval koupil. Jez dime easto do Galvestonu pies leto a obyeejne si porueime k jidlu -rybu. Jenom chyba je tn, Fe oni vain tam upeeou rybu i s hlavou a s ocima. Ja to obyeejne Ptikryju salatem a zkouSim na to nemyslet. KdyF si je odistirne dumft, tak nay lepgi chutnaji.

Pak jsme zas jell do San Antonia. Tam jsme zase rentovali kabinu i s kuchyni a sami jsme si vaiili. Je to mnohem vSThodnejSi. Nadelali jsme si sandviee na cent den a pak jsme jeli do statniho parDcera pravila, Fe to je ten nejneknejg park v Texasu. Jsou tam Zvitata, co jsem je ge nikde pied tim nevidela. Jsme se nachodili tolik, Fe tiF jsme vice nemohli. Tak jsme si rozlo gli nag "lunch" a kdyF jsme byli hotovi, i nohy tiF odtrnuly. Tak jsme to slo gli, co nam zbylo.

Neco jsme dali do kary a neco jsme nechali na stole. Ptitorn ja jsem tam nechala moji rueni taaku, ye ktere, jak ci vile, Fenska nose v gechno. Kdyby do ni vlezly kuchynska kamna,, tai take by tam byly.

KdyF jsme piijeli k nag kabine, tak vSechno jsme donesli dovnitt, aF na moji kabelku. Ja se pia ni shanim a lituji. Povidarn dceti, kolik jsem tam mela penez.

Jedeme zpatky do parku. Ale u stolu, kde jsme obedvali, nebyl nikdd; ani ty prazdne Skatule, ktere jsme• tam nechali, u2 tam nebyly. Tak my jell zpatky. Ja jsem to nechtela na sobe nechat poznat, abych jejich prazdniny moc neotravila, tak jsem se jim dala Vyriravet — a toto je skuteena pravda co se mne jednou ptihodilo.

Vypravela jseem jim, jak jednou, kdyF jsem jege bSrvala v Crosbyjela jsem do Houstonu se sousedkou. :Umluvily jsme se, Fe ve etyti hodiny se sejdem v jistem obchode — Foley's. Ona mne pravi, "Sejdeme se u club counte•". Ja, rozumela, povida u "glove counter". Tak jsem kupovala, dokud bylo pet ceritil: v peneFence. KdyF ptikl eas, jsern se dbstavila na misto. Byly etyki hodiny, pak bylo pet hodin, a bylo S'est 'hodin.. Ja 'si •myslim, dele eekat nemohu, obchod zaviraji. Bus do Crosby jede v Best tficet, pojedu pia • • busu.

V taSeioce jsem mela 4 centy penez, tak povidam fidiei busu, co se mne stalo. Vysvetluji, jak mne v Crosby slo g,•2e jemu hned vyplatim cestu. Tam kde on Stavi a, ptibird pasalery, to 26 patti mile. On se jenom Sibalsky usrnal a povida,l," at' jenom vlezu do busu, doma 2e se dostat musim. Davala jsem mu maj nekup, ktereho jsem mela veliky balik, ale on to nechtel.

KdyF jsme dojeli do Crosby, ja, ho tahla za rukav dovnitt do obchodu a povidam obchodniku, panu Nelsonovi, co se rune ptihodilo. &On mne vyplatil. Od toho easu vzpominarn, jak jsem jezdila a piece jsem doma doj6la l bez penez. Tak piavidim cleat "Dnes jsem ztratila taSku s penezi, tak musite vy mne dovezt A ph vgern tom neStesti jsem se s nimi

mela dobfe i her penez. Co mne nejvic rmoutilo bylo, Fe jsem ztratila moji fiBiel "lajsnu" 2t ptea pa,desat dolarir penez, s kterYmi jsem se na veky rozloueila.

Asi za tS7elen po p •ijezdu doma jsem dostala z hlavni poaty listek, Fe tam main registrovanST balik. KdyF jsem to rahalila, tak teprve vidim, Fe to je moje rueni taSka s vkchnSim inojim zboFim. Byl tarn ptipranST listek, 2e ztamodtud vzali 37 centa na po gtovne a na, registrovani.

Proto pig, Fe jsou na svete jeSte bide do bti. Ale kdyby mne tarn byli aspon jefich jmeno napsali, abych jim mohla pcidekovat.

(Pozn. red. — A co2 zpateeni adresa, ktera, musi lakt na kahle registravane zaslice? Vid'te, Fe ye spechu a zveclavosti jste pi-ehlidla.)

Okolo San Antonio maji zeme pane a bide tam hodne farmuji, ale co jsme videli pti Austin, kudy my jsme jell, thin jsou jenom skaly a zase jenom same kameni; kozieky se plazily, pokud 'nobly dosta,t, pia ketich, jinak travieka, hyla vg ecka, sucha a ani to suche tam nebylo.

Potom jsme to vzali na Corpus Christi.

Tam jsou velice pekne zeme, ale u2 bylo vSechno zorane. Tam zase znovu zaeali chytat ryby — mimo nine. Tam jim SteSti piano; a ja mam rybiho masa dost na celST rok. Dcera a jeji muF chytali ryby; a ja a jejich etyti roky stara, holgeka jsme jely hledat pani Leo Sladkovoit Trochu prSelo, cesta byl kluzka, ja rnela prvni "blow out" za sveho Fivota co tidirn karu. Jela cela tada truckt i privatnieh alt; aby nine nemusely ptedjiFdet, j.ela jsem tolik, kolik bylo dovoleno jet. Najednou jsem ztratila vladu, auto zaoalo tancovat, a ti za mnou, co mi jeli v Patach, mell co delat, aby se uhrmli na vedlej g broil. Ja zas mela co dela,t, abych'iidrFela auto y e sve linii. Nechaba jsem auto zmirnit rychlost, nez. jsem sjela na stranou silnice, kde jsem mela vymenit kolo.

Neni tteba ztracet dilveru v lidi. NejakS7 dosti mladSr elovek zastavil a pomohl mne kola vymenit. NF jsem nekolikrat pochybovala o lidske pomoci neznainStm lidem, ale piece jsou jeSte dobti lide.

Kdyby bylo jelo auto 'proti mne '7Xt mnou nakladni trucky, byla by z toho hromada mrtvol a sttepil.

VEST N I K — WEST, TEXAS

Ve stfedu, dne 20. tijna 1954.

AUTOVANDREM PO SEVEROZAPADNiCH STATECH

kodakem a krasne se ji to povedlo. Sedadla jsou vysekane, ye skale, vydlaZdena a upravena v sekcich. Stfechu nechali pfirodni, totiZ girou oblohu.

Na etvrtY den na ge cesta byla vymetena do San Francisco, Calif. Na 'Leto ceste jsme videli toted co minuleho dne, ale piece ne. Ptijeli jsme k zahrade asi pet akrii tech nejkrasnej gich kvetin. Nektere keice mely velike kvety. To mama sepjala ruce a povida, "Bole, kdybych ja to tak mela." Ja si zas myslim, Bole, Zenska co bys s tim delala?

Pak jsme jeli kousek dele, odboeili dola do pralesu, kde byl strom pravy obr. U zeme je vysekan prostor, co auto skrz projede. Je 315 stop vysokY, asi 18 stop u zeme v pi-C=61.u, a strom je pane zelenY. Sjedeme kousek ny2, tam je teprve obr strom; u vchodu do nej je tento napis: "Nejvyggi jednosvetnicovY dam na svete; vkgka 250 stop, v objemu u zeme 1011/2 stop, prumer u zeme 33 stop, odhadovanY vek 4000 let. Strom byl vypalen asi v roce 1660. Prostor do stropu 50 stop, v gechny okna a dvete jsou pfirodni otvory."

Jak jsem tento napis ptedetl, tak jsem odkraeel pramer, akorat 11 dobrYch kronic ptidano. V tomto strome se prodavaji krasne veci na pamatku, v ge vyrobene z eerveneho dteva, za ptimetenou cenu. To je v oblasti, kde je hodne pil na tezani dteva. U kaZde pily se zbytky, hned pall; male odkezky jdou temenen: na, °hell a piliny vzduchem.

A tak jsme v San Francisco. Pteji2dime Golden Gate most. Je to podivand, jak jsou ty domy po tech kopcich rozesta,vene -- a veeer teprve, jak se to osviti.

PatY den na ge cesta byla, vymetena do Crescent City, Calif. Po teto ceste se jede krasnou aleji vedlle mote, a Urody — zelenina, ovoce a vla gske otechy (walnuts).

8estSr den jsme vjeli do statu Oregon; asi to same co den minulY, jen o mnoho vice pil a v gechny byly v einnosti. Oregon je dtevatskY stab. Asi o 4 hod. pfej12dime most pies Columbia teku a jsme ve state Washingtonu. Ve 4:40 jsme u syna.

Asi v 5:20 syn pti gel z prace. Bylo to skuteene radostne ptivitani a co nas nejvice teg ilo, ze tak dobte vypada. Hned dostal dovolenou, tak jsme besedovali. Tam je v lete ptijemne podnebi; teplorner vyjde nejvY g 75 stupfni F a rano asi 55 F. Vgechna zelenina a ovoce pekne dozraji a Ounce nic nespali.

Byli jsme na ptistave, kde je syn zamestnan. Od imora letos tam maji zatizeni, ae za 12 minut vyprazdni jeden Zeleznieni vagon p genice. Oas na to je ptesne rozvrZeri: 3 minuty ptipravit vagon, 7 minut vyprazdnit pies boeni dvete a 2 minuty odginout jej z mista. Tuto praci dela jeden delnik, jen macka na knofiiky. Tento delnik si nesmi sednout, aekoliv ma tam mista dost. DruhY delnik sto-

(Pige Ad. Mieulka) 17Z je tomu 11 let, co nag syn se odstehoval do Vancouver ye statu Washington, a od to doby jsme jej nevideli. Ui jsme nekolikrat planovali, Ze jej navalvirne, ale vkly z toho se glo. Tak ja jednoho rand povidam lend, ze pojedeme do Vancouver. A pry co s hospodalstvim?

Povidam, u.2 to mam pohromade; mame dye dojne kravy( s temi jsem podelil sousedy; psa jsem dovezl sestfe do mesta, aby ji hlidal; a slepice bude dojiZdet nag synovec krmit.

NaloZili jsme `do auta sve veci a dojeli do San Antonio. Nag zet' Edwin Reinhart u‘Z ye statu Washington byl v roce 1952, tak jsme meli dobreho prtivodeiho.

Jeho dcerka Clydene a na ge druha dcera Viola Mazae jely s nami. Tak pet nas vyjelo easne z rana na cestu. Prvni den jsme odmetili do El Paso, Texas. Dojeli jsme tam pled zapadem slunce. Krajina kopcovita, suchoparna, ktovim porostla.

P11 Del Rio jsme dali eas jednu hodinu nazpet.

DruhY den jsme odmetili cestu do Phoenix, Arizona. Tak vyjiklime do Novela° Mexika. Ptida piseena a suchopary, ale bliZe Deming se zavodkuje. Urody krasne. Tam pestuji v gude Sea Island dlouhovlakennou bavinu, na kterou dostavaji rolnici peknou premii. Tato bavlna kvete citronovalutou barvou. Je to pekna podivana jak je v pinem kvetu.

Jak jsme minuli zavodnovaci pa,smo, zas suchopary a uZ jsme v Arizone, kde zaeinaji kopce a pak hory. Tam se vabec nerolniei. Do Phoenix jsme prijeli pled sluncem zapadern. V2dy jsme si vymetili cestu, abychom byl i na miste yeas. Najmuli jsme si kabinu s kuchyni, pak zajeli do "Safe Way" obchodu koupit grocerii na yeeeti a snidani. Tarn sobe 'Zena libovala,, ie se ji velice lehko dYcha. Ona totiz trpi na sinus.

Tletiho dne na ge cesta byla vymefena do Los Angeles, Calif. Na hranici do Ka-. lifornie ptisna ptehlidka tollo, co sebou vezete od zeleniny a ovoce. To je k van nakaze. Nam zabavili dva citrony, protoZe byly mekei neZ mely loYt. Tu nam nastala to klikata cesta nahoru a cloth..

KdyZ se vyjede jistou vY gku asi yam zalehnou, ze nesly gite ani motor v kale. Ale jakmile sjedete doh). v ugich praskne a zas toho slySite moc.

Tak jsme v to zlate Kalifornii. Na tech nejvyggich horach je videt snih a v tom Udoli jsou ty krasne zahrady, zelenina, ovoce a kvetiny vgeho druhu, pada vgude hlubokY pisek. Veear jsme si zajeli do "Hollywood Bowlu". Ten veeer nemeli ale Zadne ptedstaveni, jenorn se cvieili pro pfigti veeer na ptedstaveni. Tak jsme se na ne chvili divan. Do sedadel nas nepustill. Vnueka Clydene po nich

ye stiedu, dne 20. i-ijna 1954, ji vedle a sleduje, jestli vAe dobte klape.

Tu ptenicl, co vlada nakoupila, aby se udrtela lepai cena, piesunovali tlakem vzduchu z elevatortl do stanch lodi, aby uvolnili misto pro novou ptenici.

Vedle mestskStch hranic je rozsahle doll, kde se pestuje sama zelenina. Voda vande kropi. Asi 80 procent toho je oseto salatem "crisp iceberg". Tento salat se pestuje ce1Sr rok. Svedi vlastni cele to doll. Domky maji nahoie vedle cesty tesne vedle sebe. Ti 8vedi jsou bohati na deti, *dude je jich pino; pracuji vgichni — muai, Zeny a deti. Ten nejmenk delnik, co jen mtirae chodit, roznak prazdne bedny po tadkach. Tam bylo gtebetani!

V nedeli odpoledne jsme zajeli na Jantzen Beach, abychom udelali radost vnuekam. Je na rozioze asi 100 akrti. Tam bylo aivo, kaZdY mel naspech — a aadnS, nic nedelal.

V Oregonu a Washingtonu jsme videli ty nejpeknejai stinne stromy a ozdobne kete.

Nastal konec besedovani a my pianovali na zpateeni cestu pies Yellowstone Park. Tak jsme se synem a jeho rodinou rozlou iii s pkanim, abychom se zase nekdy tak at'astne sali. Prvni den byl odmeten do Osborne, Idaho. Edwin povida, "Na ptistavu jsme videli mnoho paenice a dnes vidime, odkud ta paenice ptiala."

Jen na jednom poli jsme videli svazanou do snopku a suknou v mandlich. A to je ten pravY zpfrsob, neb na slunci vysnaena zrna maji tu nejlepai kvalitu.

DruhSr den cesta byla odmetena do Parku a to abychom tam byli asi na 4 hodiny. Krajina ta sama — kopcovita, a jen paeniend pole. Ve 4:10 vjiadime ze severni strany pies Garden City do Parku. U brany je mala budka, tam se plati vstupne $3.00 na jednu karu. To plati na 15 dni. Zastavime v prvnim oddeleni. Erwin ael na telefon, jestli je volna kabina v mistech, kam on ma namiteno. Vratil se v dobre naiad& Povidal, "Posledni, co tam byla volna pro 5 osob." Tak 20 mil a jsme tam. V parku vaechny budovy jsou postaveny z klady, i krovy jsou z menaich klad natezane. V celem parku jsou vaechny kabiny bez kuchyni, ale v kaadem oddeleni je prostorna, jidelna, kde je jidlo vaeho druhu k dostani.

Po vekti byla v to jidelne ptednaaka.

S'ikovnSr chlapik tednil; dilkaz toho, ,vaechny aeny mely na nem oei. Povidal o historii toho parku. Lide pozorne poslouchali, natal s otevtenSrmi zesty. Varoyal lidi, ae medved na pohled vypada krotke a lenive zvite, ale neni tomu tak.

Pies vaechno varovani letos od 1. ledna do 1. srpna bylo poslano 77 osob do 'Spite.lu. Dale povidal: "Nekrmte ty medvedy.

6im je budete vic krmit, tim my je diive ztratime. Oni budou nasyceni, ale nebudou mit v sobe ty kalorie co museji mit aby mohli pkezimovat v jejich skdaich.

4E6 :17

Pak tteti den se pustime projadet parkern. Sotva se rozjedeme, tu vidime, jak polka s kodakem stoji pied medvedem a matka jej z koaika krmi. Ta tu ptedna,aku brzy ptespala. Jedeme dale. Zastavime, jako druzi, kde ye velice itzke skale a asi 80 stop hluboke, voda v tece rychle proudi a co kousek naraai o skalu. Tak ta voda je neustale jen bila perm. 2acIne zabradli, jen uklouznout --- a na veky amen.

Pak pkijedeme k jezeru, kde je napis "Delici se voda". Te vody je mai° videt, je tak huste zakryta vodnimi liliemi -pekna podivand. Zapadni east z toho jezera odteka do Pacifickeho mote, a vY chodni do Atlantickeho mote. Pak jsme ptijeli kde jsou ty aive gejsiry. Ohromna jama a blato se ustaviene vati a bila para vychazi. Je citit i siru, ale hned zoerna. To mi ptipadalo jako peklo.

Po obede jsme se vydali na cestu, abychom dojeli do Duboise, Wyoming. Tu je mai° farmaru, krajina je velice hornata.

CtvrtSr den nage cesta byla vymetena do Pueblo, Colorado. Stat Colorado by se mohl nazSrvat kralem skalnatSrch hor.

Tam jsou ty nejkrasnejal irtvary skal ruznStch barev, co jsme kdy videli. Jedna hora je tam, jako by byla merle uloaena z ohromnSrch napinench pytla; druha je blede rftaove barvy a v tom jsou stejnomerne od sebe vrstvy tmavai barvy; a to jsou barvy, ktere nevyblednou ani je voda nesmyje. Mezi temi horami jsou Modkde se vae zavodriuje. Vody dostatek. Tam se pestuje kukutice vojtaka a herefordskST dobytek; a ten je peknY, neb misty le ge' ye vojteSce, ze jej hnedle nebylo videt. Residence tam maji vetainou z derven3"rch cihel; tam neni bida.

PatS, den naae cesta byla vymetena do Odessa, Texas, kde bydli na g druhST syn Viadik Mieulka. Z Pueblo do Odessa je dobra jizda na jeden den, ale udelali jsme to. Jak opouatime Colorado, krajina zadina btt rovnejai. Severnejai east Noveho Mexika vyhlik jeate jak tak, ale jinni east samST suchopar. Ptida je porostdrsnou travou, asi dye stopy vysokou a nebSt to travy, snarl by praane boute odfoukaly vaechnu uvolnenou hlinu. Kde neni travy, je videt jak je zeme vymleta.

Tak jsme v Texico, mesto na texaske hranici. Celt zapadni Texas trpi hroznSm suchem. Kde je nejakSr dobytek, je v ubohem stavu; aebra mu lehko seitate.

Nea mit takove hovado, radeji nic. 0 nrodach se nemusi ani mluvit.

Pied zapadem slunce jsme v Odessa, kde nas jiz cekali, neb vedeli, ae jedeme.

Mesto je na pane poloze eita, pies 50,000 obyvatel. Tam jsem najmul posledni kabinu, kde v kuchyni bylo vae ptichystano, jen zasednout a to bezplatne. To se nam libilo. Na druhSt den po poledni jsme vyjeli do San Antonio. Slunce nam brzy zapadlo, tak jsme jeli pii svetle. Doma

trail-a U jsme naali vae v potadku. Dnearai dobou se dobte cestuje, lid ma vaechno pohodli.

Mimo Texas projeli jsme devet stattl.

Ani jedna guma nesplaskia, Ujeli jsme 5523 mil, spalili 294 galonu gasu v eerie $91.16. Kabiny jsme platili od $6.50 do $13.00. A kdya jsme se doma zaptahli do vaedniho aivota, iena sedi nejak zarnyalene a povida: "Tak je mi nejak smutno,, hned bych se rozjela nekde do sveta."

San Antonio, Texas, Cteni bratti a sestry: Dostal jsem neoeeka,vanou ptileaitosts se trochu ptindit a pti torn pozorovani velkeho obchodu jsem viclel, jak to delaji velke spoleenosti, aby obchod pokraeoval stale doptedu a pti torn jsem dostal myalenku, ae naae Jednota by mela taky -aavest takovSi system.

Nag velkoteditel mne volal telefonem, ae mne chteji na zvlastni obchodni zi v Chicagu a on jim slibil, ae tarn budu a jestli s nim souhlasim. Tak ja hned jsem teki ano, nebot' jsem vedel„ ae to bude pro nine pkileaitost nab,Vt nove zku knosti a poueeni.

Sedl jsem nit letadlo v 7:30 rano zde v San Antonio, eekal jsem etruhe letadlo v Dallas hodinu 35 minut a do Chicaga jsem dorazil 12:30 v poledne ten samk den, tak celkem ze San Antonio do Chicaga jsem letel neco ptes tri hodiny, to, bratti a sestry, je na honem v jake7 koliv teei. Leteli jsme as 00,000 step vyso7 ko, aby se letirdlo vyhnulo mraktim, re byly velice dative a Wake.

Den po schfizi jsem navativil rozliene kupce, co kupuji naae zboai, kteti vetS1M.: dilem jsou na stark lide, ale take kaadS4 tento kupec anebo Utednik ma mladaiho pomocnika, kterSi se piluenje aby nallodou, kdyby se neco stalo tornuto anebo kupci, tento pomocnik- nastoupil jeho •misto. Bratti a sestry, jest to system, kterST ukazuje, ae je velice nutnSr, aby spoleenost rostla neptetrZite, jest to obchod, kterSt dnes pokraeuje

Strana 10 chle a gild so nejon ye SpojenYch statech, ale take po Jitni Americe.

Kdyg jsern to tak pozoroval, tak nine peigla myglenka, te by tento system mel bYt zavaden i u na gi Jednoty. Na pkiklad, nag pealseda Hlavni iikadovny, bratr Marek, ma zku genosti, ktere se dnes lehoueko nenajdom. Kdyby on mei pod syYrn dozorem mlad giho pomocnika, kterY by se pidueoval k vedeni na gi Jednoty v peipadu nahleho onemocneni anebo smrti bra-. tra Marka, tento pomocnik by nastoupil misto bratra Marka a prace by gla neptetrtite dale. Ja yeeim, 2e mame getelt, ale tat verdm, te na ge Jednota musi prospivat a aby se nepeetrtite konala vgechna prace, at' pf •ijde co peljde. Vetim take, te jak bratr Marek, tak bratr Chupick, UrbanovskY Kolilaa a take na g redaktor by mel mit pomocnika, kterY se se pelueoval k vedeni nagi Jednoty. Melo by se vybrat nekolik mladikra kteki by studovali obchodni pojigteni a men lasku k takove priori a tito by se men cvieit do pkedu.

Pri tomto cvhieni by nabyli zlaugenosti, ktere by prospeli na gi Jednot'e,v budoucnosti. Tito inladgi pornocnici by nam byli prospegni hned od zaeatku, nebot' by peevtali velkY dil prace na sebe, kterou ted' delaji nagi teednici; zku genosti nagich teeclnikt by se upotkebily k lep gi utiteene;',ai na gi Jednoty; a kdyby se nem stale, by nam nechybely zku gene ruce konati obchod na gi Jednoty bez peestani. Bratti a sestry, promyslete si toto, a jak si to dobee promyslite, tak uznate, te mam pravdu a te bychom meli zapoeit v teto veci Jak dobke znate, na g posledni sjezd te /name mit statniho organisatora. Dva roky po sjezde ho je gte nername.

Kdyby ale bychom ho byli najali hned po sjezcle bez tech zvla gtnich zkugenosti, ktere jsou potadovane a dali jsme ho pod bratra Marka peiueit, dnes by mel zku geriosti, ktere nedostaneme se tadnYm orga.nisatorem. At' ma sebe lep gi pojig t'ujici gkoly, piece jenom se bude muset peiliCit a ty zku genosti nabYt, ktere by ut ten lined po sjezde" najatY organisator dries by mel. Talc doposud to kona bratr Marek s pomoci bratra Valeika a oba maji vice pravidelne prace net mohou utiteene zastat. Bratti a sestry, dnes nage ?cdnota uz neni tim malYm obelatidkena, co byla peed dvaceti lety, ale je to vice jak aedmimilionovY obchod a ten vytadujr. daileko vice pracovnich sil, jak vytado1 imam peed peti lety. Jestli eliceme, ata - e jednota rostla, tak musime zaYeat nove vcdeni, nove say k yYpomoci.

To sc llejlep61 udela cviCenim naladYch a rimc•ch sil.

zkugenosti, co maji na. gi hlavni fikednici a dejrne jim pomoc, kterou pottebuji a zagetkime jejich zku genosti, abychom je mohli podrtet co neidele; a oni pro nas udelaji vice, daleko vice net nas budou stat ty nove yYpornocne sily.

Kolikrat pternySlim, proe jsem dostal pidletitost, abych vedl moje dne gni zamestnani. Nebylo to proto, te snad jsem hezkY, anebo marn vliv na vysoke ttedniky, ale bylo, to proto, te jsem ukazal, te moje zku genosti jsou takove, aby oddil nageho velkeho obchodu tak prospival do budoucnosti. Imes cvieim dva pomocniky, aby nastoupili moje misto, kdyby se lune neco stalo. Tak to dela katclY obehod, kterY hledi do budoucnosti, a tet to plijde na na gi Jednotu.

Bratei a sestty, jsem toho pro dnes ut naklepal dost a doufam, te si to pronvslite a uznate, te je to nutno abychom to zavedli u na gi Jednoty co nejcleive. Pedl bych si, abyste se o tom rozepsali, jestli souhlasite nebo ne.

VESTNf.1C — WET, TEXAS 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.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, TEMPLE, TEXAS

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR OUR MEMBERS COULD JUSTLY BE proud of many features in the SPJST. We have a great fraternal organization which many of our members do not fully realize and appreciate. But one can get a more truthful and accurate picture by comparing our society with other fraternal groups, or by applying the same yardstick to many other organizations. It is not the bragging of ,a Texan, as some of my friends in Atlantic City told me, when I say that the SPJST is progressing and that before long the SPJST will be recognized one of the best medium-sized fraternal benevolent order in the United States. * * AT THE SAME TIME, WE MUST ADmit that we have some improvements to make. When we say that the SPJST is progressing, we do not imply that there is no more room for innovation which would bring additional betterment and development. Let us be frank about these matters. We can bragg within a reason. But we also have the responsibility of raising a new generation of local officers, district officers, and supreme officers and leaders who would have the same zeal as our founders had to build a better SPJST. We have excellent workers here and there. We flatter ourselves that we, individually, are good workers and members. But one of our most solemn duty, as members, should see to it that we leave our SPJST in a better shape when we are gone, and that our successors become better executives than we or our predecessors were.

AS GOOD AS THE SPJST IS NOW, we still have to make certain improvements. Our Junior Department is not as strong as it should be. Many of our to lodges don't think in terms of the next generation; therefore, they have no junior members to speak of. When Sister Birdie Hilsher and I attended the Youth Section of the National Fraternal Congress in Atlantic City, we were surprised what other organizations are doing in the way of developing their Junior Departments. The youth is pointing to the future progress of every fraternal society. Consequently, Sister Hilsher brought back many valuable ideas but,

unfortunately, she was not able to get back in time to attend the regular meeting of the • Supreme Lodge on October * * 11.

WE SORELY' NEED A DEEPER UNderstanding of ,the importance of local lodge meetings and local lodge activities. When a charter is first granted to a new lodge, the members take upon themselves definite responsibilities and obligations. They promise to join together for carrying any activities prescribed or assigned to the new lodge.

Every local lodge is duty bound to work for progress, to co-operate with the headquarters and to keep the machinery at home in a good running order. A number of our local lodges have been neglecting the fraternal part of the lodge work. Now we are confronted with the problem of .the lack of attendance at local lodge meetings and also at district meetings.

WE HAVE SURPRISED OURSELVES and everybody else with our campaign.

The results are given elsewhere in this issue. But as Brother Kubena, our vicepresident, stated in his message on the next page, "Our phenomenal growth means an ever-increasing need for better service and more hard work." We cannot be satisfied with what we already have done, with a set schedule of duties, of so many working hours a day, of cutand-dried responsibilities. If we have the interest and the future of the SPJST in our blood, we will be looking for more to do— not just so much, and not less. Our nose will constantly be sniffing the breeze to learn what's up, what's cooking elsewhere. We will feel the responsibility of doing something a little different, a little better, a little * sooner.

WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER PROBlems that we have to lick. We have to force those problems in a corner, look at them and study them. Otherwise, the problems will some day push us, literally, into a corner. We can solve our problems only if we know precisely what those problems are. And that is where our supreme officers and directors come in to lay out plans, or to map out roads, for the permanent direction of the SPJST. We cannot be building perma-

neatly cn sandy or shifting foundation.

We must get all the facts, and then consider them with an open mind. We should do these things gradually, but with ability to think, between now and the next convention. And our supreme officers, who are thoroughly familiar with all phases of our fraternal insurance business, should start informing the members about the improvements needed. * * IN THE MESSAGE OF BROTHER KUbena you find this bit lot information: " . . . your pay is far below the standard of pay to executives in correspondingly important positions in private enterprise." Brother Kubena is referring to the salaries of our supreme officers and directors. It is a timely reminder. Some of our members may think that the salary which we pay to cur executive officers is sufficient. I agree with Brother Kubena's opinion. I remeber a lecture by one of my university professors in the course of Business Administration. He explained that the salary of any executive should be based on four fundamental qualities: ability to think; capacity to assume responsibility, ability to handle people; and ion the amount of, inner power that keeps men going. It was' Ione of the most enlightening lec tureS, and I still have the notes taken during the ninety-minute discussion, In fact, I have the notes before me as. I write these lines. The first three abilities depend for their achievement on the fourth. Of two men, who possess equal ability to think, the one with twice the inner drive will accomplish twice as much. Of two men with equal willingness to take on responsibility or equal capacity to handle people, the one with twice the inner power and persistence will achieve twice as much with respect to each, The man who applies double the inner drive to each of the three capacities will achieve six times as much.

Finally, the professor gave us the formula for measuring executive achievement and corresponding salary. On the whole, he stated, salary usually matches man's capacity and performance in our present competitive system. In other words, the higher the salary, the more units of ability an executive must possesS.

SUPREME VICE-PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE In the last meeting of the Supreme Lodge, held in July 1954, Brother John A. Kubena was somewhat embarrassed when he saw the other supreme officers distributing armful of mimeographed sheets containing reports. Brother Kubena, elected as vice-president only recently, prepared only one copy of his report. He didn't know that it was the custom to prepare a copy for everybody present, and a few copies to spare. He apologized with a promise to have enough copies for everybody the next time.

It was with rapturous delight that the members of the supreme body listened to Brother Kubena's report this time, on Monday, October 11, 1954. With permission, his message is published here.

To the Officers and Directors Of Supreme Lodge SPJST: Dear Brothers: It is most gratifying to note that the officers and directors have exercised with utmost care the general phases of the business outlook in 1954. My comments, to cover the broad economic picture, is to say that you have taken into

It is hardly necessary to mention the fact that we are all aware of our duty Fraternally yours, towards our fraternal Sisters and Brothers. Their needs at all times must be taken into consideration first; if found John A. Kubena, worthy, they should be served.

Vice-President

GUARD AGAINST "HABIT SPENDING" You have to keep an open mind if you want to economize. Question every dollar that goes out. Why are you spending that money? Because you always have?

Because that's the way most of the people you know spend their money? Because your family has always spent that much for this type of purchase? Because you haven't ever bothered to stop and think about that expense?

or have you just been taking it for granted that where you are is the best place for you to be living? There may be better buys in housing in your town.

Some people nay 30 per cent more than their space is worth just to have a "good" address. That's all right if you know what you are doing and are willing to forgo economy for pride. But many families do this without intending to.

You'd be surprised to learn how many people spend their money the way they do just because they "always have." Unless every expense is examined regularly, wasteful patterns tend to take over and play hob with, economy.

Ask yourself these questions. They may help you prevent this kind of wastefulness.

Is there some cheaper way to get the same benefit?

Have we been overlooking regular expenses, assuming they are "fixed" instead of Variable?

Have we lapsed into a rut by failing to investigate new stores, new products, new ways of doing things?

Look at your shelter expense, for instance. Have you scouted around lately,

Vacation spending is another case in point. Some folks go to the same place every summer, and pay the same rent and travel costs without considering other ways of buying cheaper but still satisfactory besummer relaxation, If it suits your taste, a summer of camping can be just as much fun and a lot cheaper than a two-week stay at a resort hotel.

Now get down to the aparently untouchable expenses like taxes, insurance and debts.

• •( It has been estimated that nine out BACK TO THE INDIANS of ten Americans pay more income tax than they should. Perhaps you could actShoe manufacturers say footgear is ually save yourself some tax money by going back to the Indians; the whole hiring a qualified accountant to prepare family is buying moccasins these days your return, for television lounging.

Insurance dollars can easily become habit-bound. That old policy you bought ten years ago when you were still single —is it the kind cf insurance you need as a family man? How long has it been since you asked the SPJST organizer or an insurance agent to take an over-all look at your insurance plan? And what about the dividends on your policies?

What is the best way to use those? As payment of current premiums or additions to cash reserve?

Look at your debt payments, too, if you have any. Some debts are expensive.

Are you paying higher rates of interest than you should? It is possible to obtain a low-cost credit-union or bank loan to consolidate the high-cost debts?

Remember, very few expenses are absolutely untouchable. The more you challenge every expense, the less likely it is that you'll be the victim of habit spending.

TOO-PERFECT CERTIFICATES Early one sticky August night a young man sat at his desk in the U S. Consulate at Nuevo Laredo, Mex., examining a batch of visa files. A frown creased his sweat-dampened forehead.

It was hot, much too hot to be putting in overtime. But something about the stack of papers had caught his interest.

There was a dozen items in the pile, each a complete set of affidavits, birth certificates, marriage documents—the whole works. All appeared to be quite in order and properly executed.

But the young man shook his head.

Though he wasn't prepared at the moment to prove it' he was as certain they were phony as he was that the streets of the border city were free of snow.

And if they were . . .? Well, it meant that here was a collection of fradulent papers by which 12 Mexican nationals had crossed the border illegally into Texas, free thereafter to remain in the 'United States as permanent residents.

An arm stretched suddenly out toward the telephone . . . 'Connect mi with the Immigration and Naturalization Service, please."

An investigator, taking the call, responded immediately.

"Phonies, eh?" The immigration officer took a chair opposite the consul.

"What makes you think so?"

"Phonies, eh?" The immigration officer took a chair opposite the consul.

"What makes you think so?"

The batch of papers was showed across the desk. "Note," the visitor was urged, " the similarity in all of these. Every one of the visa applications was made out exactly the same way." `What's strange about that? Aren"t they supposed to be?"

"Sure—,but wait a minute," advised the consul. "Observe, too, that the birth certificate in each instance is perfect.

Not one has the slightest thing out of order—or so it would seem. Doesn't it strike you as a bit odd that none of these Mexicans— poor, untutored folks for the most part—made a single mistake? Nothing has been scratched out.

Dates, places, names, everything just fine. Why, there isn't a misplaced comma in the whole bunch!"

"Maybe someone helped them."

"Exactly. But who? And what were the circumstances of that unvafying assistance? Don't you think it's—" "Say, maybe you're right," the immigration officer cut in. "These fellow listed here are all of about the same age.

Mrs. Edward Haisler Youth Director ) •i • ( GUIDANCE FOR AMERICAN BOYS We are concerned with pavement boys —the boys in our slum areas .whose only outlet after school and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays is the streets.

Together with his sister, the boy is our most precious American possession.

The normal boy can seem to be a child, of iniquity yet he makes a great nation. The whole world is new to him, Therefore, he seeks adventure, discovery and great undertakings. He must spend much time, if he is to expand, in the land of make-believe.

This normal boy is endowed with a dynamic energy and an impelling desire to take exercise on all occasions. His primary instinct is to hunt in a pack and that multiplies his devices.

But the normal boy has a primitive instinct and takes to competition and battle. In the days before our civiliza.tion became so perfect, he matched his wits with the birds, 'the bees and the fish. He cannot find battle with animal t cr plant life in zoos or parks. If he does-not content with nature, he is likely to take on contention w_ith a policeman.

The fine qualities of loyalty to the pack can be turned to sports where the spirit of fair play is the greatest moral force\ outside religious faith. Sports is not so good on the pavements. For here the pack turns to the gang. And here we make gangsters and feed jails. -- ENPresident Herbert Hoover, June 14, 1954.

a substantial estate by singing an application and paying moderate premiums.

A life insurance policy is a certificate of deposit bought on easy terms which cancels at death all unpaid installments.

It is a plan which makes possible the purchase of money for delivery in the future at times when it will be needed most. As someone wrote not long ago: "Life Insurance is the organized love of

men, for their families; the capitalization of affection; the prudence of years; the riches cf the poor, the security of the rich. It is love and affection reduced to a science—thrift exalted to a profession. And the beautiful part of it all is that it reaches its greatest value in im-. mediate cash when everything else is made uncertain through death."

THE "AVERAGE" AMERICAN Who is the average American? Statistically he is a man—or woman—about 47 years old, with a spouse and two children. He lives in a house which he owns somewhere in the mid-West. He is a highsehool graduate. His income is somewhere between $3,500 and $4,000. He has a television set,. 1-2/10 cars, 2 7-8/10 radios, a 1947 refrigerator. has .about $1,750. in the bank or in some kind of savings. lie goes to the movies twice a week. and takes -a two-week vacation ,every year with his family. Either his mother or father is still alive and one member of that generation either his crhis wife's parent lives with them.

Yet, even if, the man who fitted all these specifications were to , be found, the chances are that he would not admit,to being the average American, or in reality be the average American. For of all the traits Americans have exhibited in ,the course of our history, the desire and] ability to be "unaverage" are conspicuous. ;Those who do not IMOW- the United States well, often believe that we are a iti,attickn of uniform habits, customs and a4;itacles. This uniformity, they maintain,iis a result of mass advertising and mass entertainment, such as the moving Pictilre and television: However; impartial observes of American life such as visitors from other countries, quickly come to another conclusion. A member of the. British Parlianielit , Who made a six-week tour of the Uitted States recently said: "The. indtst-iternarkable thing about the United States is the diversity one finds here.

There oT real diversity in customs, in climates, and : in personalities, ThiS is aii!'t, itimortant quality which people abroad . Often overlook in evaluating the Uhiteiti States." Another visitor from I'l3anee recently remarked:., "Do not think that because all Americans drive the same cars they all think alike."

American "diversity probably stems in tlie'friaiii from two factors. First; this cantry 16 a land of immigrants. The ciatisr( of many lands came to these tiii0'(;".,j": with the men and women who make their tii,orn abroad' ho lfi s"lust;.

This continuous -flow of hal. it mig rallon, which is a singular distinction -of Arneritean civilization, brought coniiiiiieus diversification. Also,the vast. distances which once separated small bands of settlers made for individuality.

Immigrants made :their homes in desolate. spots the prairies and on the grq4,,,,plains, in the valley and on the rocky • coasts, far from ti it nearest neighbor. As the continent began. to

fill up, respect and regard for 'another's way of doing things and thinking remained. This respect and regard for the "unaverage" is one of the most attractive features of American life. It is a feature which we, as Americans, often take too much liar granteol.

The American desire to be "unaverage" is rooted also in the very opportunity that America offers. Being average implies that one is no better, no worse, no different than his neighbor. Averageness denies individuality and most Americans re fain a strong urge to achieve and maintain individuality.

The diversity of American life and the `unaverageness" of the American people should be made known more clearly to those abroad. It is a difficult task, for when describing America we are inclined to strike some numerical average as a representation of the whole. Our letters abroad are one of the best ways to show that America is made up of a great mass of individuals. Letters themselves are an expression of individuality.

They express our lives and our thoughts are as one person and as one family. Our letters to kinfolk overseas can show that America is still a country in which people think for themselves and act on their owne best judgment. Certainly this right to think as one chooses is one right which the whole free world cherishes. Those abroad should know that, we in America stand ready to defend that right. ) • •( TO OUR REPORTERS When you write the report about youi meeting, observe some of the rules used by all good reporters: 1. If you don't have a typewriter, use pen and ink.

2. Print all proper names to avoid em• barrasment.

3. Use white paper, and all your sheets should be of the same size.

4. Write on one side only. SometimeS the editor may wish to paste up your report on copy paper.

5. Don't crowd your writing. Leave plenty of margin at the top, to the left, to the right, at the bottom.

6. Keep sentences short. Your report will be easy to read. The Reader's Digest averages 15 words per sentence.

7. Mail your reports as soon as you can.

THE LIFE OF AMBULANCE DRIVER My business is driving an ambulance.

It may surprise you to learn that it's part of an ambulance driver's job to dodge knife thrusts and play middleman in shooting battles between police and criminals, but it's true.

An ambulance driver sees hundreds of real-life dramas every week. For 14 years, I've had a front-row seat at tragedies and blessed events; I've seen people's eyes glow with thankfulness, and darken with terror.

In the slum areas of Brooklyn's East New York and Bronwnsville, traditional home of Murder, Inc., hardly a Friday or Saturday night goes by without a few slashing's, a shooting, a dozen drunken brawls and, all too frequently, a murder.

When the fireworks begin, the hurry call goes out for the ambulance at Beth-El Hospital and sometimes the driver gets to the scene of the crime before the police.

My job is to get patients to the hospital safely, and not to take risks; yet, once I had to go up on a crowded sidewalk in order to swerve around a knot of cars which refused to open a path for me. That maneuver saved around eight minutes. Not much, you say, for the chance I took? The patient in the back of my bus wouldn't agree with you. In the middle of a Dodger game he'd gotten over-excited and fallen down the iron grating of his fire escape.

When I picked him up, his head had been bashed in, and it seemed as if he might go into shock. After the doctors finished working over him in the BethEl emergency room, one of them came out and told me, "He'll pull through, George, thanks to you. If you'd gotten him here a few minutes later, we couldn't have saved him."

Many people will tell you that ambulance drivers are wild cowboys at the wheel , but it's only on rare occasions that an ambulance will speed, and when it does, it's for the best reason in the world. Not long ago. we had an unusual maternity case where the mother began bleeding badly right after birth.

She got transfusion after transfusion but the bleeding continued. The nearest hospital which had special fibrogen units to coagulate the blood was in Jersey City.

I volunteered to make the run and I covered the distance—about 25 miles— in 17 minutes flat! I made the return trip in a screeching 16 minutes and I didn't get back a minute too soon. Luckily, this was an emergency which happened at 3 a. in. when the streets were

(By George Douglas) clear. Otherwise I'd have been stalled in traffic while the poor woman bled to death.

Automobile drivers who won't move out of our way, and brawlers who try to knife you aren't the only characters an ambulance driver has to worry about.

There are also (1) The Psychos, (2) The Junkies, (3) The "Acute Legalitis" cases, (4) The Good Samaritans.

The very first emergency call I got, when I became tam ambulance driver in 1937, turned out to be a psycho. He screamed in fury when I tried to get him into my bus and suddenly grabbed my head. With the incredible strength that seems to come only to the psychotic, he pulled nearly my entire crop of hair out by the roots! Since that time, I've never answered an emergency call without wearing my hat.

A junkie in need of a shot is every bit as dangerous as the most vicious psycho. The Brownsville area of Brooklyn has been a hotbed for young junkies, and an ambulance driver is in frequent danger because these hop-heads know he carries morphine in his bus.

Sometimes they will call the hospital late at night and report an emergency.

Then they waylay the ambulance driver and the attendant, beat them' up, and steal their drugs. I've been cornered three times by these crazed youngsters, but each time I was able to fight my way out without being crowned by the lead pipes they carry with them.

"Acute legalitis" is a gag term that we ambulance drivers have applied to the fakers and phonies who get into accidents where the total extent of their injuries amounts to a broken fingernail..

They immediately see an opportunity for lucrative lawsuits, so they claim internal injuries and cry for an ambulance.

They invariably double up with such hamacting displays that they arouse the sympathy of the onlookers, but an experienced ambulance driver can spot them as phonies the moment he looks at them.

What really irks the ambulance driver is that an ambulance will become involved in a serious traffic accident when the driver is rushing to what turns out to be an "acute legalitis" emergency.

Unlike the other headaches in an ambulance driver's life, "Good Samaritans" mean well, even though they cause untold damage. These people are the would-be first alders who are at an accident scene and want to do everything possible to help. Instead of waiting

for the ambulance driver, attendant, or interne to fix up accident cases with the necessary splints before moving them, they do the moving themselves.

Broken bones, when moved around indiscriminately, gash the vital organs of the body, cause perforations, compound fractures and often death.

Ambulance driving has its brighter side, of course. Bringing a baby Into the world is a thrill which never can be surpassed. Internes ride the ambulances infrequently these days, which means that every driver must know a good deal about first aid, diagnosing the severity of illnesses or accidents, and, above all, the art of playing Mr. Stork.

The proudest event in my career on the ambulance run came one night last winter. I answered an emergency call, found a mother about to give birth In a rickety old flat, and did the honors for her. After the child was born, the mother scratched her head and said, "I've got ten children already and I've used up all the names I know. What should I call this'one?" Then, as if to answer her own question, she said exsitedly, "In your honor, my good friend, I will call him George!"

People sometimes ask me why I remain an ambulance driver. The pay isn't very much; the hours are long— we're on duty every alternate day on 24 hour shifts, which comes to as much, as 96 hours a week—and if you're as sensitive to human pain and sufferings as I am, you'll find a great deal of heartbreak in a tour of duty.

Despite all this, I wouldn't trade my job for any other. There's still something called personal satisfaction when you do a job that's vitally important to a great many people. Besides—in what other job do they name babies after you?

Ulysses S. Grant was to our way of thinking a very poor prophet. It seems that one day as President Grant sat behind his desk in the White House, his aides brought in a telephone connected to another one down the hall. President Grant reluctantly tried this new gadget and came up with the following comment -- "Xes, it's all very remarkable '-but who in the world would want to use one of them?" ) • gis • ( At Bar Harbor a woman who was in mourning debated the propriety of attending a party, came to this decision: "I shall go, she said, "but I shan't mingle."

ABOUT BEER CALORIES

ii'HERE TO GO

(By Donald G. Cooley)

SUNDAY TWICE A MONTH: S unday—Every first and third Sunday cf each month Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 sponsors a dance. Every one is invited and members are admitted FREE.

Pity the poor beer-drinker who tries so hard to remember which brands claim to have fewer calories that he feels as if he were drinking arithmetic instead of a beverage. Each gulp, for instance, is about 11.5 calories down the hatch, and a man or woman whO keeps track of the gulps is likely to. feel like a joyless adding machine. This is a natural result of completely truthful, but completely misleading, claims of beers that are alleged to be less filling, to contain fewer calories, and so on.

Ridiculous advertising claims will be merely amusing to you if you don't like beer and never drink it. But if you do drink beer, pay no attention to calorie claims. Drink whatever brand you like, because it pleases you. That's the only reason that counts.

The truth about beer calories is that there isn't enough difference between brands of the same type of brew to brighten the glow of a firefly's tail.

Count 100 calories per glass, of the light brews now SO popular, and you've counted all brands in. Here are some facts about beer .calories: "Our beer contains no starch and is 99 per cent sugar-free."

There is no starch in any beer. An equally truthful, and equally meaningless claim, would be to say that beer contains no asparagus, clamshells, or catsup. The maximum amount of sugar in any normal beer is not over 1 per cent. , It is not cane sugar (sucrose), which we ordinarily' think of when the word "sugar" is, used. It is largely a mixture of saccharides (chemical sugars).

"Starch" and "sugar" are words associa, ted with overweight.

Dragged into beer-calorie advertising, these words are used truthfully but with every indication that there is intent to leave a gross misconception in the beerdrinker's mind.

The amount of sugar in a glass of beer, at most 1 per cent, would represent one calorie per ounce. Some people think of a calorie as a formidable unit of heat, equal to a good-sized bonfire.

But a calorie is a , trifling quantity. It is about the amount of heat energy that keeps you warm to the touch for one minute while you're fast asleep.

"Our beer contains fewer calories than any other,"

grain of common weight. The less alcohol, the weaker the kick, the fewer the calories. A weak beer of lower than average alcoholic content can honestly claim to be lower in calories. You can reduce the alcoholic content yourself by half-filling a glas with beer, then pouring in soda water. This would be revolting to a confirmed beer-drinker, who would hardly conicier the mixture to be beer.

"Our beer contains fewer calories than orange juice!?

True, of all brands. Beer also contains fewer calories than Roquefort cheese, mayonnaise, scrambl , d c ,,,gs. The trick of comparing 1 ol,11v unlike foods is cleverly deceptive. Beer is not a nutritional necessity; it si enjoyc'ci by many, and its carbohydrate calorie,. are easily assimilated—if you need calories. And we all do need calories—couldn't live without 'em. "Calorie" isn't a dirty word.

1 `Roo many calories are just too bad for a person who is already fat. You can't honestly compare beer with other foods that are higher in calories but also higher in important nutrients.

All the preposterous hullaballoo about competing beer-calorie claims may leave an impressicn that will do no good for the brewing industry. It is the impression that beer is a very fattening beverage. Actually, a glass of beer has only a few more calories than a glass of skim milk, favorite beverage of dedicated reducers. To be sure, skim milk is loaded with good nutrition, but we're talking of calories. You could reduce on a diet Demposed entirely of doughnuts, or candy bars, or olive oil. It wouldn't be a good idea. There are no fattening foods or be-verages. There are 'only foods or beverages which contain different amounts of calories which, if consumed above the body's needs, lead to fat accumulation more rapidly or more slowly.

At the recent annual meeting of the American Life Convention, an association of 243 legal reserve life insurance companies of the U, S. and Canada, the convention's executive vice president, Claris Adams of Washington, D.

The power of suggestion is well known.

Dr. Daniel Blain of Washington, D. C., American Psychiatric Association medical director, says that the soaking up of symptisrns they read about is a frequent phenomenon among ' young doctors: "In the second or third year of medical school nearly every student thinks for a moment that he has each disease as he studies it."

Even just focusing attention on some body organ is dangerous. It doesn't take much conversation on mental illness to convince you that you are losing your mind. The heart, also, is a favorite target for fear— so much so that there is the real fear among internists and cardiologists that attracting a man's attention to some mild skip or murmur in this organ will give him a cardiac neurosis.

People with high blood pressure can get higher bloOd pressure just thinking about it. It was encouraging therefore to read a headline following a- recent American Medical Association Meeting: "Doctor calls many blsod pressure worries unfounded."

• MENTAL ILLNESS

Eighty-five per cent of the mentally ill could be cured if they got the right treatment in time, says the National Association for Mental health. Right now only half those who enter mental hospitals, come out recovered, and there are more Americans in mental hospitals than in all other hospitals combined.

FOOD THAT GIVES LIFE OR DEATH (By John B. Lust) In a lecture delivered some years ago to medical students at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. McCarrison stated: "For some nine years of my professional life, my studies lay in a remote part of the Himalayas where there are located several isolated races far removed from the refinements of civilization. Certain of these races are of magnificent physique, preserving until late in life the characteristics of youth; they are unusually fertile and long-lived, and endowed with nervous systems of remarkable stability.

"During the period of my association with these people, I never saw a case of asthenic dyspepsia, 'of gastric or duodenal ulcers, of appendicitis, of mucous colitis, or of cancer."

Searching for an explanatinon for the remarkable immunity of these people to disease, Dr. McCarrison says: "Infants are reared as Nature intended them to be reared — at the breast.

If this source of nourishment fails; they die; and at least they are spared the future gastro-intestinal miseries which so often have their origin in the first bottle.

"The people live on the unsophisticated foods of nature: milk, eggs, grain, fruit and vegetables. I don't suppose that one in a 'thousand of them has ever seen a tinned salmon, a chocolate or a patent infant food, nor as much sugar is imported into their country in a year as is used in a moderately sized hotel of a city in a single day.

"We see, then, that as exemplified by certain Himalayan races, and, as I find from recent reports in the medical press, by such races as those of upper Egypt and northern Nigeria, enforced restric tion to the unsophisticated footstuffs of nature is compatible with fertility, long life, continued vigor, perfect physique and a remarkable freedom from digestive and gastro-intestinal disorders, and from cancer. I must confess that with these examples before me, I find myself in accord with Hindhede, who affirms — and on unequivocable evidence — that the two chief causes of disease and death are food and drink."

On of the largest mass experiments in nutrition ever performed was that which occured in Denmark during the blockade occuring at the time of the first World War. Dr. Hindhede was authorized by the government to arrange the diet of the nation (involving a population of about 3,000,000) in accordance with scientific principles. In considering

the problem of conservation of Denmark's food supply, Dr. Hindhede decided that to feed cattle and swine with potatoes and cereals that might be used for human consumption was wasteful, since it meant a loss of approximately 80 per cent of the nutritional value of the foods as compared with the yield in the flesh of animals. This meant that a given amount of potatoes and grains that were enough to feed 100 people when given to animals and transformed into their flesh.,For this reason the potatoes and grain were reserved for the use of people, and the stock of cattle and swine was reduced.

The people received a sufficiency of potatoes, whole rye bread, barley porridge, grains, milk and an abundance of green vegetables and some butter. The diet was lacto-vegetarian, flesh foods and eggs having been eliminated. I n consequence of this enforced alteration of the dietic habits of the Danish people the death-rate dropped as much as 34 per cent, being as low as 10.4 per cent when the regime was in force for one year. Hindhede, who was convinced that the improved health of the people was due to the elimination of meat from the diet,and the reduction in the use of alcoholics, therefore concluded, as the result of this extensive experiment, that "the principal cause of death lies in —Nature's Path food and drink."

4 4 • ( To a Paris department stare came an obscure young man offering a new perfume he had just contrived, and which he hoped to sell to the great establishment. But the buyer would not listen to his sales talk or even permit him to open the sample of his wares.

Enibarrased and unnerved by this rude reception, the youth turned to go. Suddenly, 'outside the buyer's office, the bottle slipped from his trembling fingers and broke upon the floor. The enchanting odor which was released by the accident assailed the nostrils of patrons at the perfume counter.

"That's what we want!" they chorused.

The now deeply crestfallen buyer was summoned and, quickly yielding to popular demand, gave the young man his first order.

And thus began the international fame of the great perfumer, Francois Coty! ) • 4, • ( Teacher: "Johnny, name an example of `the hand being quicker than the eye'."

ZAPADU SLUNCE ROMAN (Pokraeovani.)

Kdy2 Olga usly gela, o tern se rodiee radi, nechtela o takovem podvodu ani slygeti.

Pravda, 'te se s fal g1 a 12i nebude vdavati a 2e to sama Jitimu napi ge. Walt, Ze ji stale ujiat'uje jak ji ma rad a jiste se s tim ochotne smiti.

— Jednou pak pti gla pegky na za stavku.

Dorotka ani syYm ()elm neve •ila. Sleena Olga pti gla peSky. Vlak mel opo2deni a Olga sedela na laviece u trati, ktera, tam stala pod jabloni. Degtnikem psala v Podzimni vitr .ji cuchal pod klobouekem krasne upravene vlasy. Dora ptig la k rii s Jeniekem. Behal ua a na slednu se tta.sl.

"Ty mss krasne dite," zvolala Olga "jak je ti podobno. Jsi gt'astna, Dorotko."

Dorotka ptivinula chlapeeka k sobe.

0 tam atesti by se dalo hodne povidat, ale mleela o tom radeji. Kdy2 se nekomu zminila c . muaove 2arlivosti, kaldY se na ni podezirave podival, jako by chtel iici: no, tieba ma pricinu. Proto se jen usrnala a povidala: "Taky budete, sleeno Olugko."

Olga se smutne usmala a pravila: "Ja? Ba ne. Mne se dill smnla, mild Dorotko.

Ua si nevezmu pokladnika Zvolskeho."

"Ne? A proe?" Dora se uptimne lekla.

"Cose stalo?"

"Ty to nevia? Piece se musime stehovat ze zamku. Tvilj otec to jiste "Ja„ — ja, ani sem tomu nevetila."

"Tak vidig . Je to pravda. Ze mne je, holeeku najednou chuda nevesta. Tim chudg i, ae jsem na .to nebyla nikdy phpravena a jinak vychovana.

Tys byla uptimna a oddand, ale ty me kamaradky •spoleeensky mne rovne se jen pasou na mem poni2eni."

Vlak se vytitil ze zatociny. Olga povstala.

Dora ji chytila za ruku. "Vette mi, sleeno, ae yarn pteju to nejlepgi!"

Spechala s ni k vlakti 'a podala ji zavazadlo. Potom dlouho stala a divala se jak vlak s Olgou uji2di — — — Za nejakY eas bylo v zamku, velke stehovani. TM nejlepe timisteni atednici se stehovali. Pan spravec ael do vYsluZby; odchazel do Prahy, aby si tam hledal nejake male, pisakske misteeko.

Dora vedla kloutka za ruku a tak stou vzlykala, div ji srdce nepuklo.

Jenik se na ni dival mirky, jako by chapal jeji hare. "Mile se bude po tobe stejskat, marni," povidal, natahuje take na moldanky, "ale po tatinkovi ne. ho nemam nic rad," dcdaval trochu Leptem.

Dora by byla nejradeji iekla: taky ne," ale iadeji mleela, jen se utapela ve svem placi, . .

Doma z toho nemen valne poteLeni.

Vychovali ji2 svoje deti a ted' dostanou zase vnoute.

Josefka, ktera byla vdana v miste, kat"dolt chvili jim ptivedla, nektere dite, aby ji na ne dali pozor a kdy ji dali najevo, 'Le jsou sedkeni a 2e 112 je to unavuje, vytYkala jim ke komu pry se ma cbratit, ne-li domti?

A chlapci se take jeden po druhem nili a take men deti a take se ohli2eli, aby jim rodide pomohli.

Nu, ale toe platno. Je to ostatne povinnosti roditfl, aby detem pornahali, tak tedy staki Prachakovi, nekikali niteho a Jenika si tu nechali.

Chodil pak u decloueka do Lkoly a byl tam rad.

V zamku bylo pino deti a bylo tam veselo, Dedeeek byl hodnY a babieka take, proto zapominal na nevlidn3r domov.

Maminka v nekterou nedeli ptichazela a v2dy mu nen ptinesla a v2dy se s Min tak mazlila, a2 se za to stydel.

Mel marninku velice rad, ale na to las kani si nepotrpel.

Dora poka2cle plakala. Bylc , ji lito, 2e musi mit chlapce mimo domov a take proto, 2e ji to nekdy sourozenci vytitali.

Josef ka trpce fekla: "Ty maL pohodli, mne by to naLi neudelali," a Pepik jednou povidal: "Taky bys mohia met s naLima lepei svedomi, vidiS, 2e je maminka potade darebna," Skuteene, stara Prachakova postonavala. Mela uvnitt nador a koneen.e musela jit na operaci.

Pak nezbYvalo, ne2 vziti Jenika dorol a vLecko zatalo znovu. Za ty dva, roky si Jan chlapci odvykl a teprve ho Spatne snaLel. Jenda byl city a hltionk chlapec a odvykl sestkikkam a east) se s nimi pral.

Hned hrozne plakala, jako by ji brali no2e a to nejradeji, kdy Lel tatinek. Vedela, the bude miti u neho tele zastani.

Jan Slabina si pkines1 hned prvni den s pochUzky liskovku a tou vyplacel Jendu na mister za kaldou malitkost.

Tvrdil ka2dernu a hlavne Doke, ze ho stall v zamku zkazili, le kluk je utinenSI tert a 2e by na to tare doplaceli, kdyby ho netrestal.

Dora tim hrozne trpela a s mu2em se ustaviene ha dala.

0 Bo2e — kam se podel ten mir a Atesti, ktere si slibovali, kdy se bran; Kdo toho byl ptieinou, 2e se kamsi do nenavratna propadlo?

Jak mivala Jana rada, tak ho ted' nenavidela. PkedevAim se ho bala, protokdy pkijde s nejakou poLeze tilosti, aby ji tkral, nebo kdy se dopali na Jenika a zadne ho bit.

HaLik se take otce bal, ale nebyl tak chytry jako- deveata, aby s nim dovedl zachazet a aby si otce koupil a podrnanil.

Ted' mel da,leko do Lkoly. Ze zastavky se chodilo do tmelkova a to bylo asi tai ttyrte hodiny V zime to bylo hrozne obtane, proto2e Jenik byl stale jeLte slabY a nekdy nechtel jiti.

Dora za, nej prosivala, aby ho tatik neposilal, kdy bylo pkili g ()Sadly& a mela strach, aby hoLik nekde nezapadl do zaveje.

V zime je brzy tma a v takove snehoye bouki neni radno ani velkemu, aby Lel sam.

Jan Slabina vlak nikdy nepovolil, aby Jenda zustal dcana, Kdy zadala choditi take Matenka a za rok po ni Lida, daval mu je, na starost a kikal, ze je to jeho povinnosti, aby se o sestkieky staral.

Ty, ale ye velke nepohode neposilal.

Aikal, 2e to pro holky neni, aby se pla.hotly v nejhorLim neease.

Jenik se dobte ueil.

Nosil dome" same jednioky a hlavne vynikal ye zpevu. Jednou kekl pan ueitel Slabincvi, 2e ten chlapec ma nejtistLi hlas z tele Lkoly a ze je to yellka Lkoda, nechati takovS1 poklad laciem. e by mu doporutil, aby ho dali do konservatole.

Jan Slabina k tomu odpovedel,2e ne- to tedy nespada• v maji• prostredkt a ze avahu. Ani to nepovedel Doke. — %pine to peminul.

Nikdy doma nerekl kam., Jde a ()dael treba do zamehlickeho zamku k dededkovi a zilstal tam do rang.

Prirozene Boma men starost a ma.minka se div nezblaznila strachem.

Jezdil pak do 'Skoly na lylich a Dora nevedela, zlomil-li si nekde nohu a leii v zaveji, nebo co se s nim deje.

Kdy2 pki gel domt, bYvala zla exekuce.

Jan ho zmrskal liskovkou, a mel Jenda pruhy na nohou jako jelita.

Dorotka vybehla a kdyl uvidela spouSV, zavolala jrneno Boll.

Sbirala mrtva a plakala. Ta tam byla nadeje na vYclelek, kynouci z prodeje vykrrnenych Slabina to take vial a take mu bylo lito to velike Skody. Byl SetrnY, shamel jak mohl, aby nashanel deveatkilm nejake yen°.

"Kdo met husy na star/esti?" honem se ptal se zatajenYm ,dechem. Kdyby to byla Matenka, met by na jazyku omluvu, ale Lida si pospi gla se sdelenim, le Jenda a le se tamh.le prohani po mezi.

Maminka se zalekla. Byt' sama meta chut' jit a Jendovi nabit, piece byla zoufala, le to tatik slySel. Kdyl bila ona, bylo to s rozumem, ale Jan byl v torn ohledu bezohlednY a surovY. "No, pookej az mi prijde'S; Ty ich zase dostane'S nepoeitanejch!" slibil Slabina hochovi a zlovestne zaloupl ()alma.

Dora to znala a opustila ji fAecka zlost pro husy a na Jendu.

6im vice deti rostly, tim bylo treba vice pen& a Dora se snatila, aby Zvettila rodinne prijmy.

Male hospodarstvi si stale rozmn vala a zvelebovala.

Ted' jil chovala i husy a kraty a byla rada, kdyl neja,kou destiku za ne vytelila. Kitty chodily samy, o ty se nemusel nikdo starat. Ty nenadelaji Skody v obili, ale husy mely deti na starosti a mely s tim east° oeistec. Husa je hloupY ptak, ale nekdy take Uskoeny a f aleAnY.

Nekl domti ani ten den ani druhy a nekekl dedeeko•i co provedl, ale zalhal, to doma o tom vedi a le mu dovolili.

Dora doma chodila cela neSt'astna, a poplakavala, protole tata sliboval, kluk pkijde, ze ho zrek jako hada a daval ji vinu, ze ho jen kazi a le se ho zastava proti otci, co by ho mela drIet k poslugnosti.

Tietiho dne pak se sebral a povidal, pro kluka pojede, ale co mu tam da, to le jeSte nedostal.

Dlouho nee° shanel, a2 vzal do kapsy semen a nasedl na kolo, na le:au s.e ani neohlednuv.

'Pm Boha to prosim, mej rozum, yolala za nim, "dyt' je to decko!" "lViej ho ty!" Jan se utrhl a jel.

Prijel do dvora celY uticenY a prim° do svetnice k tchanovi.

Kolo oprel o zed' a jiz byl uvnitk. A hned se ptal, je-li tu Jenda.

Staki poznali hned ze je zie, ale nebyli ye svetnici sami — byl tam nejakY cizi pan, ktereho Slabina neznal, take neinohl hned spustit a jednat.

A Jenda tu take nebyl. Babieka povidala, Ze beha nekde s detmi pana. stareho.

Strata 25 "To je ten hoSik, ac jsem ho potkal ye dverich a vy jste mantel byvale sle'eny Dorotky?" cizi pan se ptal," to jsem poznal podle podoby. Je yam ten hoMk • padobnY a mamince take."

Slabina byl jako ohromen a nee° tepleb° se mu rozlilo v tele. "Tehle je bejvalej pan adjunkt Andel," pravil Prachar, "tys ho taky znal, Jendo."

Slabinovi to bylo jedno, kdo je, to a co tu chce. Bla yne, le povida, Ze Jenik je mu velmi podoben.

Kdyl to fekne takovY cizi elovek, tak je to snad pravda. Najednou byl, v jine nalade. MuZne se ptal, kde kluaik beha, a poslal babieku, aby ho sehnala, •, Pan Andel zatirn povidal, to by rad del, kam se odstehovali sprivcovi Rabochovi, le by s nimi rad navazal, styky. Je pry jmenovan pojezdnYin v Mezkiekach, Kdyby snad to vedela pani Slabinova. — Jan nevedel o tom nieeho, ale Prachat povidal, ze slykl asi pkedloni, jako by byl pan sprace urnrel.

Kde je panieka se sleenrou, to 2e :mu neni znamo.— Zatim pkivedla babieka Jendu, kterY byl celY ulekanY a vzpouzel se jeji rupo.

Jakmile otce uvidel, hned byl hoto y yy:hnout se vSemu a uteci nekam do les.

Tatinek ale dnes vypadal docela , jinak.

Sel k nemu a povidal mu docela,pkatelsky: "Copak ti to napadlo, uteci a doma nits nechat ye strachu! Maminka place a fa mam taky pino soukni, co se s tebou stalo. pojed' se mnou dom, musiS rano do gkoly."

"Jo, ty me bude g bit," neveril Jenda.

"Ja. nepojedu! Tatinku pekne to prOsini, ja u22 to vickrat neudelam, ale neck me tu u dedouSla." <-Atladil se k Pracharovi a kryl si zada.

Jan Slabina ale s nim mluvil laskav6, talc& ho piece pkimel, aby s nird ba Vzal ho na kolo a pkivez1 ho skoro vesele Dora nevekila svemu zraku a sluchit, kdyl je uvidela a uslykla vlidna, ,jet Jan Jend.ovi udilel.

"Povidal, le je kluk naramne nadanej na zpev. Abychom pry ho dali na 2e by to ureite nedo konservatore kam pkived."

Dora byla radosti pkimo bez sebe. 0 !nal° a byla by padla muZi k noharn a libala, mu ruce. Nevedela, jakk se to.stal zazrak a nemela se toho dovedet. , Jam se nepriznal.

Ale Jenikovi nebylo smutno, doma nemel vtdy ustlano na rutich, tak si nestYskal, ze ptijde do sveta. osfatne, ten svet ho lakal.

VESTNIK -- WEST, TEXAS

Jeden pan dokonce se ptal, jak je ten hotik start' a kdyt Dora tekla, te mu bude jedenact, povidal, ze je na ten vek velmi bystrY a 'ze se jiste dobre ttei.

Dorotka ptisvecleila a povidala, to ho veze na stuclie, te chlapee ma dobrY hlas a ptijde asi do konservatote. Pan s ni hodne dlouho rozmlouval a vtelicos ji radii.

Pravila take, te nema pro hocha dosud byt, te si ho teprve budou hledat a .fe ma strach, jak naleznou. Aby nemusell ninoho platit a aby byl Jenda / v dobrYch rukou.

"Znam v Buie jednu pani, ktera, bore studenty na byt," povidal pe, "a je byt nioc dobry. KatclY, kdo tam mel syna, sf. chvali, Kdovi, nemela-li by misto."

"Jejda, to bych byla rada," Dora se zaradovala, "prosim vas, pane, moh byste mi dat adresu?"

Pan byl zaujat temito prostYmi lidmi, kteti se umeli talc pekne chovat. Ostatne Dotin zevnejtek byl stale jette talc paabnY, jako za svobodna, an ji tivot neutettil ran a tleint.

"Je to osamela stara dama s dcerou," povidal, "jmenuje se pain Rabochova, a bydli na Veveti ulici — poekejte, it. yam to napiti."

"Pani Rabochova?" Dora byla ptekvapena. "Ale to byli a nas spravcovi. Taky se menovali Rabochovi."

Kdyt pak v Brne vystoupila s Jenikem z vlaku, byla jako zmamena.

Tu teprve katclY venkovan vidi, jak jeho svet je maliekY a jak to je svet ve velkem meste.

Musela se stale ptat stratnika kudy ted' a kam potom a jette byla cell uStvand, net natla gymnasium, kam bude Jenda dochazet a coz teprve tu ulici a v ni jakousi pani Raboehovou.

Jenda byl na to chytrejti. Hnedle to jmena ulic jam na narotich poznal, a kde stoji stratnik a jaK asi je mesto poloteno.

Al se mu Dora divila. "Ja m a m strach," pavidala, "te se mi tady ztratit, Jenieku," vzdychala chvilemi, ale Janda byl pin odvahy a nernel strachu vtibec.

Koneene natli ptedepsane eislo a &eke s visitkou,. na nit bylo nap,sano: Amalie Rabochova.

"Na mou duti," s tlukoucim srdcem vzdychla Dora, "2'e je to milostpani spravcova a nateho zamku." A byla.

Kdyt zazvonili u dveri a kdosi otevtel, vyktikla Dora, nemnhouc se ovladnouti. 'bra5!;niece sve ueeni z obeene .

Pied siala sleena Olga.

— mezi tim mapu Moravy. Tu si "Dorotka!" zvolala a vztahla ruce. "Je !co chvili ro,lotil a stale se s maminkou to motne? Kde jsi se tu vzala? Pojd' jcdou a kudy potom. g ad l; kudy pojdl A tohle je snad tvilj syn?

Bpolucestujici se o nej zajimali.

Bole, ten je ti podobnY."

V0 sileclu, due 20. Njna, 1954, Janda byl pin rozpakti a netikal nieeho.

Teprve maminka, kdyt se vzpamatovala ho St'ouhla a povidala: "Tys nepozdravil a nepolibil sleene muku."

Tenkrat, kdyt kvetla slava, paint spra y en na venkovskYch dvorech, jetto vtecky deti konich a deputatnikti libaly jim rune na potkani, Olga vsak si nedala nikdy ruku pollbit. Odtahla ji a povidala: "Ne, ne, to se lit dries nedela,, zylatte nine ne. Rekni radeji no to saris vede, Dorotko a pojd' dal. To se matinka podivi!"

Dorotka se c4tYchala. PoYidala, te kdyby byla vedela, to je to milostpani spraveova a sleena Olga, te by si nebyla jaktiva dovolila.

A rychle vypravela o setkani ye vlaku a o hledani bytu pro Jenika.

"To je dobte," povidala Olga radostne, "to je dobte! Mame letos jen jednoho studenta a misto je tu pro Nil. RIdy ti vezmeme Jenieka do bytu."

Dora se rozhlitela po byte a nejakY stesk ji padl na dull. Hned poznala, te obe damy tiji ye stisnenYch pomerech a te ti tim vlastne vydelavaji, kdyt maji je Olga svobodna.— v byte cizi deti a A piece mega radost, sladkou, mekkou radost, a,e jeji dite se dostane v blizkost takovYch vznetenYch lidi a do jenanych rukou OlginYch. Piisla milostpani, Byla stale jette bra, a povYtena, ale k Dote se chovala velmi ptivetive a Jendu pohla,dila "BudeS na,t, vid', Jenieku."

Bylo Jendovi nebylo prave volno. tu jine ovzduSi net u nich doma, i net u dedy v zamku a nevedel, jak se tu chovat.

Byl tu i krasnY jinY nabytek net vidal, ba i koberce na podlaze, piano a zreadla.

Jako v pohadce mu to ptipadalo.

Kdyt obe damy na okamtik vytly, zatahar maminku za rukav: "Nenechavej me tu, mami. Ja nevim no byeh tug delal a mluvil. To sou panicky a ja —" "Bud' rad, hlupaaku! studovat, budet taky panem a tady se naueft panskejm morestim. Ja bych na kblenou dekovala Panu Bohu, ze nas sem saved ."

Talc osud divne zatoeil malYm Jenikem a Svedi dye rodiny, ktere lily v talc odliSnYch pomerech.

Kdyt, se za maminkou zavtely dvete, stal Jenda chvili bezradne a do oh se mu nen tlaeilo.
