ZAPOMENUTR DRTI EMftEL JEDEN SPOLKOVY bratr, dobrY den, nefinavnY a obetavY pracovnik, poctivY kadovY fitednik ia pravidelnY delegat do nag ich sjezdt. Mistni tad mu vypravil 17Qlice dilstojnY pohteb. Na spolkove budoy e prapor byl sni2en do pill 2erdi na znameni smutku.

Ne, deti nebyly zapomenuty v jinem ohledu, ale druhe, tteti a etvrte pokoleni nevedelo nic o spolku SPJST. Dedeeek byl obetavYm pracovnikem, dlouho drZel mnoho byl na mnoha sjezdech, a teprve tki roky pked svou smrti vzdal se ptedsednictvi u domaciho kadu.

Ale zaponmel na to, 2e SPJST neexistuje pouze pro stare eleny, ale take pro deti elenil, a take pro vnoudata a pravnoueata.

Jsme icily na postupu a nagi organisatori se stale zlepSuji. Pred etyrrni roky jsme mohli lan-ientovat, te z naSich 21:6 organisatorn pracuje katdY desatY. LetoSni naborova kampari ukazala, te meli 114 pracovnikt, a 106 jich nepracovalo. Letos pracuje katdY druhy. Proto pomery se zlepAuji a ona treti na, slotena z tech lhostejnYch ,se stale zmenSuje. Net ukoneime rok 1954, provedella bude revise nebo naprava. Na seznamu organisatorn zaznamenani budou jen ti, kteri se opravdu snati.

Bylo by iadouci, kdybychom podohnou napravu mohli provesti ten mezi domacimi Uredniky. Take mezi nimi manse eleny rozdelene do tri skupin. Jedni jsou vedoucimi, druzi jsou dobrYmi pomOcniky a treti jsou jen pro jmeno, postrannimi divaky. V Jednote maine blizko 160 radu. U kutdeho vetAiho radu je test -a.rednikt. U nektereho radu maji jen predsedu, tajemnika a pokladnika. Nekde maji dokonce jen dva nredniky, kde predseda dohliti, aby tajemnik vSechno vykonal. Phi spravnem vedeni, kdyt by domaci rady fungovaly die na gich zasad a predpist, meli bychom miti asi devet set dobrYch iirednikt, devet set praeovnikU a pomocnikti Kdybychom je meli, to by se tivot v SPJST skuteene pohnul.

Nemame jich tolik. Kdot vi, marne-li jich tretinu. Motna, te pracuje katdST desatS7, jako tomu bylo pled nekolika lety mezi org,anisatory. Soudime, te mezi ii redniky je to lepSi net to bylo mezi organisatory.

Abychom einnost mezi fifedniky zlepSill, jako se to stalo mezi organisatory, bude treba dohlednouti, jakim zprisobein bychorn zajem a vYkonnost trednikia Neptijde to najednou. Musime od• straniti nektere zakorenene zvyky. Jsou to vlastne zlozvyky, na ktere jsme si uvykli do to miry, Ze je ani nepozorujerne.

Zvyk ma Zeleznou kosili, at' je to zvyk v osobnim chovani nebo ye spolkovem j ednani.

Prvnim krokem, alrychorn meld &vet set dobrYch rirednikti ve vSech ratlech na gi SPJST, bude dobra navAteva vYroeni schrize. Do vYroeni schrize mel by se dostaviti kaZdS7 'Men, kterenm hlava, plice a nohy dovoluji. KaZdY Glen SPJST jje pojigtenYm a take pojiSt'ovatelem.

Olen SPJST mel by si

Ve'Stfedu, dne 27. tijna 1954. uvedomit, 2e nag spolek je veden na demokratickYch zasadach, kde kahlY Glen ma pravo znati fgechno, co se v mistnim tadu, v distriktu, nebo i v Hlavni dtadovne hYbe. Jednim zloMdem v nagem spolkovem jednani je, ze pkevatna vetSina elent odvykla si navgtevovati mesieni schtze. To zavinilo, ze schtze se konaji nepravidelne, povrchne, jak se to kde hodi, jednou za tti mesice nebo dokonce jednou do roka. A ani do vYrodni schtze nedostavi se dosti elent, aby prilbeh a jednani byly uspokojive. Vinu na torn nesou sami bYvali ttednici, kteii dovolili, ze to k takovYm konctm do glo. Udelala se chyba jedna, provedla se druha, bylo tech chyb nekolik, az pomalu a nepozorovane vyvinuly se dnegni smutne pomery. A nasledkem techto chyb zda se, ze dnes nedostaneme dosti elenfi ani do vYrodni Schtze.

Lek neni situace naprosto beznadejni, tteba by se tak zdalo. Zde i onde ovgem je tad tpine mrtvY, kde snad ani to nejsilnej gi injekce nic nepomrite. Ale jde o tady, kde naprava je motna. A prvnim krokem je vedomi katdeho elena, aby piigel do schtze, i kdyby se pied easem dirgoval a zapiisahal, ze ho do schtze vice nedostanou ani parem volt. Oasem i nervetgi ktivda ptestava bolet nebo se aspoil zmirni. Ty na ge tvrde Ceske police byly nekdy k neeemu dobre, ale ne pokatcle. Nekdy celY narod pro na gi palldatosti trpel. V americkem demokratickern ovzdugi neni eeska palieatost ozdonejlepgi. A nage SPJST je vice na zasadach americkYch, kde i pro palledky je misto. Prato nezapomerite ptigti vYrodni schtzi, i kdyby to bylo proti bYvalYm slibtm, ze noha do sine vice nevkrodi.

To je pOuze zaatek na,pravy jednoth ieho dlena a take zaeatek napravy celeho tado. Pamatujte na vYrodni schtzi, aby byla v teto schtzi toast nervet gi. Pak se da jednat, pak mohou se provadet napravy dalgi. A ty jsou v rukou vas dienu, kteti jste ye schtzi jiz roky a roky nebyli. Prave proto, ze jste ve schuzi nebyli, schazely tam vase hlavy a vase hlasy. Prave proto, ze jste zUstali doma, ptigel navrh, aby se stati fitednici zvolilt aklamaene. A to byla kdysi velika chyba, ze na takovY navrh do glo, ze na tento navrh kdysi kterysi tadovY ptedseda ptistotipil. Pak se to opakovalo rok po roku. A 26,dnemu ani nenapadlo, ze tim se zajem Mena snfZuje ,ba piimo rdousi.

V demokratickem spolku by nikdy nemely bYti volby provedeny gmahem, aklamaci, bez naletiteho uvateni, bez tajneho hlasovani, kde se katdemu kandidatu diva stejna. ptiletitost.

Tyhle nivrhy, aby "vgechno ziistalo starem" je jednak ttodi gtem hlavy line, ktera, ma strach, ze katde premSYSIeni bo.

vESTN;1{--WEST, TEXAS ii, nebo je ptiruekou lidi bojicich se svilj podstavec, na kterem prave stoji.

Nic v ptirode nezfistave, pri starem. Bud' veci starnou dim dale tim vice, at ztrouchnivi a se rozpadnou ,nebo nova miza stale proudi, nove opravy se konaji a tivot pokraouje. Kdykoliv ptigel od nekoho y e schuzi navrh, aby "to zirstalo pri starem", mel piedseda kiepnouti paliekou a prohisiti takovY navrh za nemistnY, nedemokratickY, zabijejici katdY pokrok. Vg ude jinde je zamena a sti cidani, den a noc, teplo a zima, hlad a sva-. dina, jednou to, podruhe ono, jen v nag ich tadech chceme to miti "po starem".

Jii davno men jsme si dati do stanov, 2e tadovi Ure&nici se maji eas od dasu stkidat, abychom se vyvarovali . hlubokYch koleji. Mame pied sebou dva bratry.

Jeden dr&l svfij fdad jiZ etvrt' stoleti.

DruhY zadal jako prfivodei a pro gel vsemi od nejniaiho az k nejvyggimu, a dnes je vyslouZilYm ptedsedou. KterSt z techto dvou bratru ma lep gi pfehled o einnosti tadove? Kdy g byste rozdavali vyznamenani pro rfizne funkce, kter 'Y z nich by dostal jich ,vice? A tieba takovY glen, kterY progel vg emi hodnostmi, jemu ta.deni poskytnutYmi, nezapraeoval se do kaldeho Utadu stejnYm zapalem, spel on k praci tadove fg estranne. A proto stfidani a vYmena ttednikt mela bYti jednim ze zakladnich potadavkft u katdeho tadu.

Toto neni iadna Witka tern, kdo jii dlouho zastayaji sve uiady. Nejsou tomu vinni. Takove pomery jsme si sami Takove navrhy, aby to "ztstalo pti starem", jsme si rok po roku pochvalovali. Dnes nag e lady nesou toho sledky. Dnes v mnohem i• ade nebude ani ve vYroeni schfizi dosti dlenu, aby tamenu provedli. Dnes to ut dokonce zfrstati pri starem musi, protote tech novYch neni. A tomu jsme vinni sami ,nage vlastni kratkozrakost. Dnes nejvitanej gi osobou u katdeho tadu byl by Glen, kterY by kandidoval pro nejakY fitad, jak tomu bYvalo pied tficeti, etykideti roky, k'dy se to povatovalo za velikou lest bYti zvolen tteba stratcem, pilvoddim, nebo zametaeem. Dnes novY fitednik v tadu je velice vzacnou osobou. A nenapravime-li si nage zlozvyky, neodstranime-li to "hlasovani o starch fitednicich aklamaene", ptijde doba, kde u Zadneho ta,du nebude nikdy 'ZadnY novY fitednik.

Navgteya vYroerri schtize ..je ..prvnim krokem k naprave. Volba fitednikt listky je dalgim krokem v o2iveni na gich tadt.

Nevyhazujte spolehlive a zapracovane fi•edniky. Podrae si je. Ale vystiidejte je, aby dostali nove funkce, aby zamenih si praci a poznali tetkosti a zodpovednosti jinYch &add. `A. nikdy nedavejte jednomu fitedniku dva nebo tti fitady. U katdeho trochu tiveho tadu ma bYti gest fitednikt, ne vgak gest Utadfi rozdelenYch

Strana 3 mezi tit Cleny. My pottebujeme 900 dobrYch mistnich pracovnikft v na gich do macich tadech. A do tohoto poetu nejsou zapoeitani eleni, ktefi slouti na ruznYch vYborech.

Zde je jegte jedna chyba, kterou u mnohYch icAdO opakuji rok od roku. Jsou vYbory majetkove, yYbory Adetni, yYbory resolu'dni, vYbory zabavni. Do vYborh se daji dtednici. Pry oni tomu nejlepgi rozumi. A tim se skupina pracujicich elend scvrkne jen na fiteclniky a nekolik Menu. Pravidlem u katdeho tadu by melo bYti, aby fitednici nebyli dosazovani na vYbory, lea by toho bylo nutne tteba.

Kdyt by se toto pravidlo uplatriovalo vgech kadt, mela by SPJST nejmene dvanact set dobrYch pracovnikt, roztroUgenYch mezi ta*dy.

Nezapominejte ve vYroini schfizi na vase Move sestry, aby byly zapojeny do spolkove einnosti. I kdybyste prase nemeli pro ne 2adnY• vYbor, pamatujte, na resoluenim nebo nemocenskem nebo uvitacim vYboru se mohou sestry velice dobie uplatniti. Ptichazeji resolute soustrasti, aby byly uvetejneny ye Vestniku.

Nemusi na techto resolucich bYti podepsan piedseda, tajemnik a pokladnik.

Dejte tuto malou funkci jinYm bratrdm a sestram. Rozdelte si povinnosti mezi vice dlent. A kdyt byste v leto gni vYroeni schtzi nemeli nikoho, kdo by ptevzal nekterY fitad jako novY fitednik, dejte do vYbort nove lidi. Tarn je misto, kde se novi ttednici vychovavaji. Tam je pada, kde vyrirstaji budouci pkracovnici vagich domacich tadd a delegati ptigtich sj ezdt.

A jegte na jednu vec pamatujte. Mame distriktni schdze, ktere jsou dosud vedeny dle rtznYch pravidel. Nekde jsou ty schtze docela bez pravidel. Jednou dojde k tomu, ze na distriktnich schdzici, budou hlasovati poveteni zastupci. Zvolte si ye vYroeni schuzi zastupce do distriktnich schtzi, kterY by podaval vase nahledy, vase dobrozdani, a kterY by hlasoval za celY vas tad. Jednou dojde k tomu, ze i distriktni schilze budou mitt ureitY cilovedomY smer. Motna to nebude hned, ale mute se to do roka jak tak upraviti. Neptehlednete a zvolte si zastupce, dva, etyti nebo lest ,do distriktnich schtzi.

Bratr Jos. Belieek, tajemnik druheho distriktu, podava velmi vystitnY referat ze schdze distriktu, ktera byla 17. tijna u tadu 6es10 Prapor 'Oslo 24. Pteetete si jeho zpravu. Kdybychom men v katdem distriktu a aspon v katdem desatem du takove zpravodaje, byl by na g organ bohatgi na eetbu.

DOPISY A NAHLEDY CLEM) Dallas, Texas.

Mili etenafi Vestniku: Pfichazim, abych v gem navgtevnikarn podekovala za hojnou tieast pfi na gi Sokolske Akademii, jeng se u nas v Sokolovni potadala 10. fijna. Pekne podasi melo vliv na navgtevu nagich domacich pfiznivca i cizich hosti. Jmenovat bych je nemohia. Ta moje pamet' nestoji ted' za nic! Casto se pfistihnu, ge potkam nekoho, koho dobte znam, ale na jmeno ne .a ne si vzpomenout.

Ale to se nom v gem ye stagim veku sta.va. Celt' program byl krasne sestaven a proveden. Byli jsme hrdi na tu na gi drobotinu, omladinu sokoiskou.

Nastup vg ech cvidicich, ktefi vchazi uovnitk Sokolovny; nesou po prave strdne viajku SpojenYch statfi, po leve sokolskY prapor, postavi se Belem pied jevig te. Sletli se Sokolici z Ennis, Fort Worth, a na g i domaci drobotiny je tam ted' mezi 30-40. V gichni, i ti nejmegi 56 leti, se chovaji die kazne sokolske, kterd je jim v telocviene vgtepovana.

Obfadnikem byl mistostarosta nagi Jednoty, br. Emil Hrabina, kterY pledstavil br. starostu Miro Jureika, kteti pfivital obecenstvo a pfedal slovo br. g upnimu starostovi, Ben Pfevratilovi. Br. Pfevratila znate v gichni. Neschazi na g adnem sokolskem podniku jako feenik.

Jeho zasadou je neunavovat obecenstvo dlouhYmi feerni. Sestavi svoji fee tak, aby malo slovy •noho povedel. Jeho fed byla kratka, jadrna.

Nato cviaitelka detskeho odboru, ktera je velmi vlivna a ziskala si svoji nefinavnou dovednosti lasku a zajem v gech lariat — je to na ge sokolska dvojice, bratr a sestra Bob Mazan — pfivadi Best kolon Besedy, vgichni v krojich. Ti nejmengi jsdu rortomili; obdivujete se jim, ge se to naueili. Deveatka vypadaji jako panenky, i hogi v pestle vygivanSich ko gilkach; malebnS.7 obrazek v gech skupin.

Ty mlade maminky, jeg tam vozi Ott do cvieeni (tatinci ov gem take, ale ti hraji domino), tam nedinne nesedi. Pfina geji si sebou ruoni prate. A ph torn nacvidily pekne Oslo s kogt'aty. Ony u g ted' to kogt'ata nejsou v mode, pougiva, se vyssavae prachu. To se jiste ten obchodnik divil, ge jich prodal eel* tucet najednou.

Hezky to tem maminkam slu gelo v torn domacim aboru s kogtetem.

Vchazi hogi, eervene eepice, provadi cvieeni s flintami. Hogi a deveata cvidi na koni a perovY mustek. Hodne jsme se jim zasmali. Mugi — cvideni na koni a hrazde. V Sookole se uei ovladat ady, jsou jejich tela pru gna, vypestoovana dlouhYm cvikem. Pfivadi divaky v adiv.

Takteg i geny delaji prave divy na brad-

lech. Bobbie Ann Staglikova a Carol Ondragkova provedly komickY vYstup, obe obledene v eernem fraku a. vysokY klobouk.

ZlatSrm hfebem programu byl balet proveden velmi nadanou baletkou sokolkou Andrea Vodehnal z Houstonu.

Pfedvedla tanee ve zlatem iiboru baletnim, kteri velmi slu gel k jejim tmavSM odim s suede pieti. Tandi jako nadhernS, motYlek. Ma pied sebou skvelou budoue• nost na draze umelecke. Z Fort Worthske jednoty dva pary pfedvedly sve paradni dislo v bilych aborech velmi pekne. A na konec krasne sestavene skupiny na hrazde a vysokem gebfi, ktere sestavil nag velmi tinny br. Vlad'a Ho gek. Vgechna eisla byla provedena bezvadne a my vgem cvieicim z Ennis a Fort Worth dekujeme za jejich /ipomoc.

Po programu fgechno se to hrne do kuchyne, kde bylo vgeho dostatek pfichystano pro velkou nav gtevu. Kuchyri sestra Jureikova a Kopeekova. Jim k pomoci byly mladgi elenky Sokola. Jim vgem path na g dik. A vgem genam, ktere pfinesly, peeivo aneb pekly doma maso a jine, srdeene za pomoc dekujeme; take bratfim zarnestnanSm v nalevne.

Spojitost prace je dakaz dobreho pokraaovani v pracl sokolske. Nadgeni anavu. Vytrvalost vede k cili.

Pied kratkm easem jsem eetla v Am. (poznamka redaktora: snad V Amerikanu), .ge nejstargi podparna jednota .S.A, ktera leto gniho roku dosahla sto let sveho pasoberii v teto zemi, darovala 100 tisic dolarti jako zaklad k budovani atulnu pro stare deny. Nemohu ani vyslovit, jak jsem byla dojata nad tim nadhernStm nem, jen g jednota C.S.A. pro sve stare deny projevila. Ne plane sliby, ale ye skutek chti uvesti genialni myglenku.

Prospeji sobe, svYm bratfim a sestram, a tim si postavi pomnik vedenosti v srdcich tech, je g tam budou bydlet. ivot si s nami east° krute zahraje.

Myslite si: "A co! Ja mom dost, a to me do me smrti stad. Ja tam neptijdu." Dokud jsme zdravi, jde vgecko dobfe. Stavaji se pfipady, ge pfijde dloula nemoc, telesne zraneni, givelni pohroma a v kratke dobe pohlti mnohdy Wee nastfadane aspory. A vy ye svem zoufalam postaveni se ohli gite, kde byste se uchSclili.

Nechdete bYt bfemenem spolednosti lidsick. A tu radi byste gli do atulny mezi sve bratry a sestry, kde byste v drugne zabave neb i ph praci„ kterou by vam vas zdravotni sta y dovolil.

Mame pied sebou velke tile: irtulna, letni tabor pro na ge deti a mlade g, museum v na gi Hlavni afadovne. Maine pro tyto velke podniky dobrovolniky, ktei't nabizi svoji praci.

-------) • 40 • NA S. E CESTA NA ViCHOD (Dokoneeni — Frances Homola) Z Detroit jsme jely do Pontiac, Mich. k rocline p. a pi. Socha. Pani Socha je nage netet, bYvala June Homola z Luling, Texas. Tam se nom velice libilo, ale natal; nos ujigt'ovala, ze v zirne by se nom tam jiste nelibilo. V listopadu napadne snehu a nerortaje az v bkeznu. Jen asi etyti inesice v rote co se nemusi topit v dome.

Mesto Pontiac samo sebou neni velke /nest°, neb delnY lid bydli rortrou gen do velke vzdalenosti kolern jezer, ktere tam kryji asi jednu desetinu plochy zeme, co/ je velice vYhodne pro delnY lid. Tam jsou velke dilny na auta zna,eky Pontiac, v kterYch pracuji v/dy jen par tYdnti a zase par tYdnir delnici jsou odloleni. Tak, tak ./e V onech jezerech je pino ryb; vista voda, videt az na dno a ryby, jak rejdi sem a tam. Kdy2 je potteba masa tak lide sednou na bod'ku a za hodinu nachytaji ryb na dva, na tti chip.

Netere mid take pracoval pro spoleenost Pontiac, ale naskytla se mu prate stala v garaZi, tak ji pkijal, a je tomu yelice rad. Maji krasnY domek pia Lake Williams, take jsme se najedly eerstvYcli, chutnYch ryb, co jsme chtely. Citili jsme se tam jako donaa. Libilo se nom tarn, ale Bas kvapil a my chtely do Chicaga na Mora yskY den, a a,spon etyti dny tam zastat a uvidet, co uvidet se za ten eas da, a mate.

Rozloudily se s neteti a jeji roclinou a jely do Chicaga, kde jsme byly ubytovany u pi. M. Payerove v Cicero, jen jeden block od C'ermak Road, chlouby vSech

VESTME TIMST. TEXAS ehti v Chicagu. Hlavni mesto Chicago je jako vgechny velkomesta, eerne, ueouzene, a velka neza,mestnanost jako jinde.

Ale ptedmesti jako Cicero, Berwyn a jina sttediska teena jsou krasna. Uvidely jsrne, co jsme uvideti chtely.

I v administraci Amerikana jsme se zastavily. Bylo nom ukazano od zaeatku al do konce, jak ](?, nag oblibenY easopis Amerikan tiSten; i kudrnateho a nekticirmacho sazecka lame poznaly. Vgimla jsem si dopisu, kterY pte gel rukou tamniho redaktora, kterY kudrnatY sazeeek prove sazel. V to chvili mne pte gla, chut' na vge dalgi dopisovani. Pornyslela jsem Si, jestli i moje dopisy tak vyhldi jako onen dopis, az pre)de rukou na geho redaktora, tak bra ti a redaktora Valeika upthnne lituji. Chyby onoho dopisu byly opravene cervenort tu/kou, totd sarna eervena teeka, pismena i cela slova,, nekde nekolik slov zagkrtnuto. Upamatovala jsem si, co v onom dopisu bylo a pak, az jsem ho v Arnerikanu eetla, krasne se Ceti, jako by chyby nikdy nevidel.

Dne 25. eerverice byl MoraskY den v Parku Plzeriskeho Pivovaru v Cicero.

V2dy jsem si ptala, onoho dne se zireastnit, neb je poi:edan kalclY rok. Letos se moje touha spinila a jsem rada, de jsem jednou ty stare rnora,vske zvyky a zpilsob /ivota, o kterSTch rodiee nom tolik vypraveli, videla provedene v krasnem programa Nebylo to diva,d1o, byla to pouze ukazka, beZneho Zivota na lVforave.

Vgichni freinkujici byli v narodnich krojich. Ptala bych kahlemu, aby se mohl jednou Morayskeho dne zaeastnit a poznat /ivot z rnladi na, gich rodiet, na kterY oni tak radi vzporninali.

Zajimaly nos Ceske napisy na vYkladnich oknech v obchodech, co kde prodavaji, obzvlagt' v restauracich, co ten den prodavaji, jako: peeend kachna s knedliky a zelirn, aneb uzene s fliekami a podolane. Nedivirn se lidu, kterY se ptestehuje jinam, /e rad jde zpatky. Maji tam krasnY spolee'enskY /ivot. Kdybych ja mela volit jinY dornov, volila bych Chicago.

Z Chicaga jsme jely pies St. Louis, Mo. do Dallas, Texas. Tam jsrne navgtivily nagi seatru.a ,gvakrovou pi. J. Podhrady skou, ktera nejakypcas pred ied tim poranila koleno. Kdy/ jsme tam ptijely, nasty jsem ji na zadnim dvote krmit kutata.

Nas to ptekvapilo, /e td mute tak dobte chodit.

Naveder po praci ptijela nate'. a jeji p. a pi. Johnnie Sparks a dcerugka Karen a vzali nas k me deed Wilme. Tam jsrne v gichni spolu chvili besedovali, a pak na, devet hodin vzali Hedviku na drai, clan si a svemu vandrovani s Bohem. Ona vzala vlak zpatky do San Francisco, a ja druhe rano zase vlakem donia do Bryan,

Ve stkedu, dne 27. kijna 1954.

Mely jsrne krasnou cestu, Zadna zla nehoda,, ptijemne poeasi, a/ v Dallas, tam meli velke horko.

Nevim, kde bylo lepSi. Kde rileni such°, tak zase nezarnestnanost. Ov gem na severovYchode byly krasne firody, ale to Ite Jen fizke pasmo. VYchodnimi staty bylo hrozne sucho al do Washington, D.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR IT IS NEARLY THE TIME TO BE thinking about annual meetings. Noe tices and reminders are being mailed y and posted. Some of the local lodges will hold an annual meeting in Novem.ber, others will have it; December.

Our by-laws do not cover the point whether the annual meeting should be in November, December, or January.

Regular meetings are held at least once each month—not once in three months or twice a year—and quarter-annual meetings are always held in March, June, September, and December. Many „lodges have the habit of holding only the q uarter-annual meetings, and the one in December is usually considered to be annual meeting. * LET ME PARAPHRASE HE RULES 'egarding the annual meeting. During 'EVERY annual meeting officers are e, lected. The officers are: ptesident, one or more vice-presidents, secretary, bookkeeper (or financial secretary), treasurer and guide. If more than one candidate is nominated for any office, the vote is by a secret ballot. When only one candidate is nominated for any single office, someone may suggest that `the electlen be by raising of hands. But such a suggestion or motion must be first decided by a two-thirdoi vote. Only after the motion is approved, the one candidate nominated may be elected by raising of hands.

ELECTION OF OFF,TCERS DURING Every annual meeting is a very important requirement. But in many lodges the election has grown from bad to worse Twenty, thirty years ago, it was considered an honor to be elected an officer of local lodge. With the passing of years, the election of officers degenerated.

Instead of giving every member a chance and nominating more than one candidate for every office, some thoughtless, though well-meaning, member blurted out to elect all the incumbent (being in office and serving at present) officers by acclamation. Other members did not see any harm in re-electing the old of- ficers. It was a lazy way of getting `through with the election. It was the most damaging, the deadliest way to kill the aspiration and the enthusiasm Of others who had been willing to ofer their services. Thus we have some lodges where no competition was encouraged, where the same set of officers are retained year after year, where all the action, all the planning, all the thinking is running in a deep rut.

THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE APPEARance of the lodge hall tells you plainly, if the lodge had changed its officers and its committees in the last five years.

One of the scarcest things in our lodges is a new officer. And yet, a new officer is the one essential asset which we should be looking for at every annual meeting.

It was the lazy way of re-electing the same set of officers which caused many of our local lodges to slide down the hill into the present situation. The leaders are scarce. The world is full of people who don't carte to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Only a few are willing to serve as cfficers. But if we take the lazy road, if we constantly re-elect the same set by acclamation, we will gradually get to the point where we have no other choice but to re-elect the same officers.

And that is the road to inaction, indifference, inertia, lethargy. * • YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK FOR A genius to be your new officer. Here is an amazing discovery: a good officer don't have to have a college diploma.

Leaders don't make the highest score on intelligence tests. What you need, when you • are looking for a new officer, is willingness to work, a strong inner drive, deep and sustained' interest, a knack of getting along well with other members, fairly good health, and good average intelligence. But you must permit and tolerate in your lodge, especially during the 'election of officers at the annual meeting, democratic attitude and democratic participation. Every time somebody suggests that the election is , done by acclamation or by retaining all the incumbent officers for another year, remember that such a suggestion is a slow poison to democratic participation.

Give the timid members a chance to learn from you and others.

• • DON'T PLAY "POLITICS" IN YOUR local lodge. Our SPJST has some welldefined goals. Your local lodge is a unit of a much larger organization. Your leaders, your officers should encourage all the work on co-operative basis. Each member must respect the contributions of the other members. No officers in the SPJST lodges should protect his position by playing "politics." No officer should spend too much of his time protecting his job or his work. He should look after the welfare of the entire lodge, after the welfare of the members.

If he believes that one way to protect himself from superior competition is through "politics," he is ignoring the

welfare of his lodge and may bring down ruin on his organization.

DURING EVERY ANNUAL MEETING various committees are elected or appointed. Article 150 of the by-laws gives the names and duties of the committees.

The ideal number on the committee is the same as for a friendly game of poker —seven. This number allows enough room to air out differences of opinion (if there are any differences) and a leader. Ideally, the committee should be somewhat equal in their thinking, because they have to do a great deal of "group thinking", and they have to pool their thinking. And each member on the committee should have respect for the thoughts cf other members who serve on the committee. But the members on any committee are human, and their minds often work at cross-purposes. It is human nature that we often are more interested in defending our suggestion that to develop and improve somebody else's idea. There is something in u,s that still takes us back to our childhood when we would not give in and when we were stubborn to any outside suggestion.

IT IS A GRAVE MISTAKE WHEN YOU place your officers on too many committees. The committee should be oomposed mostly of members who are not officers.

The committee meetings are training grounds for inexperienced and timid souls. You and I know many shy members with excellent ideas. However, they prefer to tell their ideas in private. The committee meeting is the place -where the shy member learns to open up. He may be coaxed along before he takes a part in discussion. Shyness is everywhere. About a third of the adult population in the United States is afflicted with shyness. Some of our members are shy to get up and speak in a meeting.

Yet when he is sitting at a table, and only four or five are listening to him, he forgets to be tongue-tied. For that reason, don't postpone the election of committees until some future meeting; do it at the annual meeting, and elect or appoint from the larger crowd that comes to the meeting when the officers are elected. Remember to create as many committees as you can. The committee meeting is the training ground for our future leaders. * * AS MENTIONED ABOVE, ELECTION of local officers is a very. important (Continued on Page 21)

REPORTS FROM DISTRICTS DISTRICT THREE REPORS Grapevine, Texas Sisters and Brothers: This report should probably start with a question. "Are we heading in the right direction?" Suppose you, dear readers, supply the answer after you hear what I have to say.

First, let this be a reply to all of you who wanted to know if the officers of District Three accepted the invitation to come to the meeting of the Supreme Lodge, what the officers of the district wanted to offer at the meeting, and what was accomplished. This is my report to all of you who wanted to know some of these things.

We are not too happy over the outcome. A shadow of disappointment followed us on our way back from Temple.

But before I give you the details, let me remind you of one thing. When you elected your district officers, you placed upon them certain responsibilities. The officers of District Three have always felt those moral obligations. And I feel duty-bound to report what happened in the last two weeks. I write this report after about ten days of careful thinking and delaying.

trict Three made plans to be at the meeting the following day. It was an opportunity to observe how the directors from every one of the seven districts present their ideas and recommendations. President of District Three, Brother Pokladnik, who is also president of Pokrok Dallas Lodge No. 84, had never been at any of the meetings of the Supreme Lodge, although he has been a member of the SPJST for more than quarter of a h century. And the writer of this report, who is secretary of Di: trict Three, and a member in good standing for more than forty years, which is even longer than some of the officers and dirtctors of the Supreme Lodge, had never had the opportunity to visit the meeting of the governing body and to observe its workings. So the officers cf District Three accepted the invitation and came to the meeting with the highest hopes.

We came to the meeting with th best intentions to be of assistance to work out important relationship between the Supreme Lodge and the districts. We wanted to lay out plans and suggestions for future campaign. We wished to discuss topics which we considered vital to the smooth working of the next convention.

Kindly understand that we, the officers of District Three, Brother Cyrill Pokladnik and myself, came to the meeting at the invitation received the day before, and that we came with the honest intention to speak for and to represent more than 3,500 SPJST members who live in District Three. We came to the meeting on time, at nine in the morning, October 11, but we were told, after greetings and handshaking, that we SHOULD STAY OUT.

Some of our fraternal brothers are taking a road which is not in the direction of fraternal co-operation and which would lead us away from the democratic spirit. It may lead us to unreasonable and unfair action. And I want to warn in time against undemocratic leaning.

In our fraternal order we should appreciate the voice of every member, even if he doesn't say his ideas clearly. We should listen to the talk and opinion of all the members. And when the memHow would you feel, Brothers and Sisbers in the district elect officers to do ters, if you were in our position?

ROUTED BY RECORDS Starlings, pigeons, and other birds become a nuisance in some towns, says W. Kaempffert, science editor of the New York Times. Drs. H. Frings and J. Jumber, he says, of Pennsylvania State University decided to find out what could be done about scaring them away.

Starlings were collected at night. When the birds were held by the legs or wings they emitted a piercing shriek wield' caused ther mates to fly away.

On the strength of this experience, the doctors recorded starling alarm calls cn tape. With this record and a loud-speaker, the trees occupied by 20,000 starlings in one district of State College, Pennsylvania, were cleared in two nights. Once driven off, the birds did not return.

Sincerely, Frances Baleja, •A, • ( HLAHOL DRAMATIC CLUB The first hit of the season by the Hlahol Dramatic Club came when it presented "Hullabaloo," at Lodge Pokrok, October 3rd, at 4 p.m.

This is a three act comedy with a special appeal. Though of a rather light nature it carries a characterization of responsibility among the illiterates and the lesser privileged which wins the hearts of the audience.

Credit is due to those that so successfully. portrayed the characters. And as director of our plays this season, Rudy Sefcik could not have improved on the selection of the cast.

We enjoyed three new members in the cast in this performance. Noreen Stavinoha who played the part of Letty, the country girl with the "Sis Hopkins:' appeal, gave a delicate and unpretentious performance that was delightfully re-

ceived. Nickie Williford as her illiterate and shy lover played the part of Nolly Tolliver. His complete assumption of this role was due largely to his natural gifts exhibiting talents of a promising young actor. He comes to our club with the show business in his background.

His talents have graced many a night club. Eugene Hruska gave a good performance in his first role in that of a banker's spoiled son; the father having been very well presented in the role

by Steve Kelly, an actor who possesses the enduring asset of portraying a character by acquainting himself with the story rather than by studious application to his particular role; and a mighty grand performance is the result.

This is a story of a girl who makes her home with a family that adopted her when she was brought in by a wondering gypsy. Cora Morton, when the story opens, is a school teacher who seems to have assumed the responsibility of her mother and brother. The brother very innocently becomes involved in a bank fraud, much to the consternation of his family, and only through the aid of the illiterates who team up with a caravan of gypsies and in an effort to find the real criminal very successfully clear the name of the boy. The romantic appeal comes throuhg the part of the gypsy lover when he woos the young school teacher and who is later informed of her true origin and race.

The part of the adopted daughter, Cora Morton, was presented by Helen Fusig, and the part of her foster mother was given to Estelle Kelly. We have seen both on the stage before and they never fail to give excellent performances.

They paired off most effectively in their close roles.

As a leader of the gypsy tribe, Johnnie Sula in his role as Benito, left the audience with a feeling akin to envy because of his romantic attachment to the young school teacher.

The Hiahol Dramatic Club is coming up with another play real soon. I hope you will watch for further announcements.

Naomi Kostom • )• BROTHER HAISLER PASSED AWAY On the day when you editor was leaving for Atlantic City, a long distance telephone call reached him that Brother William Haisier, of Alief, secretary of Vrchlicky Lodge No. 111 in Sugar Land, passed away.

It was the wish of the departed brother that president Marek conduct the

Wednesday, October_ 27, 1954 services at the grave.

The Fort Bend Reporter carried the following item about the late Brother Haisler: Funeral services for Mr. William Haisler,. age 76 years, were held from the Cech-Moravian Brethren Church at Alief, Texas, at 9:30 a.. m. Saturday, September 25, with: Rev.. Henry Beseda Jr., Rev.. Henry Beseda Sr., and Rev. James Gleason officiating.

They made their home there for:seven years, later moving to .Tunis in 1905 where they resided for 19' .years. In 1924 they moved to. Alief, Texas - where he resided at the time of his death which occured in a Houston hospital on Sept. 22, 1954. He was one of the pioneers of this community and in 1926 helped organize the Czech- Moravian .Church in Alief, and was one of its ,ardent supporters ever since.

He was active in the Mutual Aid Society, the SPJST Lodge No. 111, The Southwestern Mutual and the RVOS. For the last six years he helped his son Willie C. operate a grocery store in Alief. survivors are his wife, Mrs. Frances Haisler of Alief; two sons, Frank H. and Willie C. of Alief; three daughters, Mrs. Emil IVIachalek and Mrs. Joe Bravenec of ' Houston and Mrs. James Baker of Barker, Texas; brothers, Emil and Henry of Caldwell, Joe of Houston, and John of NeW Braunfels; sisters, Mrs. Frank Hejl and Mrs. Henry Marek of Caldwell; 12 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

Haisler Jr. • Interment was in the Czech Moravian Cemetery in Alief, with Triska Funeral Home in charge. )• ° CALLS SMOKING CAUSE OF DISEASE Dr: E.- Cuyler Hammond of the American Cancer Society told the Sixth International Cancer Congress held recently at Sa3. Paulo, Brazil, -that he was more convinced than ever that cigarette smoking has an important influence on 'deaths, not only from lung cancers, but from Coronary heart disease. While cancer of the lung, despite a spectacular increase in its relative frequency, killed 22,000 persons in the United States last year, coronary heart disease killed approximately 500,000.

Pineville, La., Box 31 Greetings and Salutations: Now that I am at my new post 30 days, it is possible to tell you something about it. The entire acreage is 1600b -with about 40 acres for the Hospital Campus which you see on the enclosed diagram, Beautiful tall pines all over the place, giving off wonderful aroma especially after a good rain like yesterday and the day before. Oh! the fragrance! It surely reminds me of some of the spots on our college campus and Abbey land — Seven Hills or the pine grove near the new shrine or around the cemetery. But above all, it is a ,constant reminder of the big, beautiful pine forest in my native town of Humpolec and of Chetek, Wisconsin — around the lake and of pines in New Mexico, Ruldoso — where I spent a few of my days off — while at Beaumont General Hospital in El Paso, Texas. So the grounds are just wonderful and will be splendid and ideal spots for my meditation walks.

The hospital is five minutes walk from the main street of Pineville, a suburb of Alexandria — giving fair transportation facilities. There are about 3100 patients here, 900 of them Catholic. This makes my work far more diversified and interesting than it would have been in the VA Hospital, as I originally was expecting, which mistake happened by oversight. However, I have no regrets— the pay is good and the staff including the Superintendent, a very fine bunch to work with. The Superintendent is most gracious and appreciative — best one that I ever worked for and enthusi astic already over a couple of my suggestions—details of which will be covered later on. The Bishop, Rt. Rev. Charles P. Greco, presented me himself, and after the Superintendent, Dr. Seale briefed me on the position, I knew I would like it. However, I must be approved by State and local Boards and believe me, the requirements are rather stiff, calling for clinical experience and professional training and so my Army service at El Paso with a Psychiatric Ward and my courses at Notre Dame University are just the thing for the State Board as evidence of qualification.

Strana 15 get and put aside my pet ideas and cherished plans that I was developing for activation in Chicago and Aurora Area in the last two years. Another nice feature of this assignment are the chances to attend occasionally conferences of professional characters both within and outside of the State. So all in all things look nice — provided that my health will not weaken. It is rather humid 60 inches rainfall, but the, pine forest and the sandy soil absorbs the rain. Another redeeming feature is the chance to get together with our Father Mark Horacek and with some Czech people who are settled near by in two communities, Kohn and. Libushe. Well! it is so much like the Army -- public relations and helping to make the life of the patients brighter and enjoyable.

Just to make the general information more complete, it seemed well to add a few more remarks.

Well, it has been a long time since I had such wonderful reactions to my efforts — both from Superiors and my associates and my charges — the patients. It was so gratifying and consoling to see the satisfaction and joy of my congregation, as before Mass and during the sermon, they were made to feel at home and welcomed. I feel again the writer's itch as never before and hope to capitalize on it as time goes propitiously on, Please keep my work in your prayers.

Sincerely, Ernest Zizka, O. S. B. Central La. State Hospital ) • TO OUR REPORTERS When you write the report about your 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 embarrasment.

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 lett, 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. ) ► 4 • t

Almost one-half of the patients are on their own and believe me, that spiritual therapy will work wonders here. This seems all the more true from the experience I have had in several instances already. Really, this will be the place to put to splendid use some of the nice ideas that came to me within recent years. Perhaps it was a special grace to Telephone—an instrument that startprepare my mind .just for this place and ed out with its back to the wall, learned for this type of pastoral work. With such to stand upright, then settled down to rosy outlook, it is easier for me to for- spend the rest of its life in a cradle.

In Commemoration of Czech Independence Again we are, celebrating, an auspicious day in the history of the Czech nation — the day of the Czechoslovakian Independence. As we are commemorating on that day, ,I know that in the hearts of everyone ol us loyal Americans will be a fervent hope that the liberty and freedom it once enjoyed will ieb ain come to the land of our forefathers. ' Somehow at this time I can't help but recall the favorite poem "Jen Dal!" written by a poet laureate of the Czech people, Jan Neruda, and I am wondering if all of you are familiar with it.

JEN DAL!

"HELP WANTED" I thought you might be interested in hearing about an insurance policy I have. It is different. It is very possible you have never heard of anything just like it.

The policy has many wonderful features, so many in fact that I find it hard to know where to begin to tell you about. it. If I were forced to name the feature that I consider the best, I guess it would be the fact that it pays dividends daily.

Some of the other outstanding features of this policy are: 1. It makes you feel good all over just as soon as you take the policy.

2. It does not cost a cent, and very little effort, all of which makes it the cheapest policy, in the wide world.

3. You do not get full benefits from the policy unless you have enough enthusiasm about it, that you attempt to sell it to everyone with whom you come in contact..

4. As you become better acquainted with the workings of the policy, you become terrified with the thought of what will happen if enough of these policies are not sold to others, and they in turn will sell their share. For if enough are not sold, we shall not be able to preserve, not merely our civilizations and social order, but the very existence of the human species itself.

What is this all about?

Do you agree there was never a time in modern history when man was as confused in their thinking as they are today? I have asked this• question many times and find most people do agree.

Then I ask, Why is this the case?" Here are some of the answers given.

1. We have built up so many fears in our minds in the past years. Fears for tomorrow. Fears of war. Fears of ABombs, of H-Bombs. In a recent news item in our local.paper, Bernard Baruch was quoted as saying, "The next war will strike like lightning, whole cities, will be wiped out." Because of this, according to this news item, he was urging our present Administration to set up controls now to cover our actions when this does hit, for as he put it, "Where will our Congress be then?"

Yes, the fears of tomorroW could cause confusion.

2. Some think it is the lack of faith we have in our present day leaders, both world leaders and our nation's leaders. I do not doubt that deals have gone on in politics ever since the beginning of time. Again in modern history, do you think the dishonesty and corruption of men in power have ever

btrana 20 on yourself. Can you think of better dividends to receive daily?

This policy insures success. It gives you success becatise it makes you like people—all people—not just those who are in a position to help you up the ladder of success, as we call it. When people like you, they will go along with your ideas, they will buy your product, they will do favors for you.

Dean M. P. O'Brien of the University of California, Dean of the Engineering School when speaking of graduates who fail in business, said, "None of our students fail because they lack technical skill, or fail to have the brain power to do a given problem, they fail because they do not know how to get along with people." Getting along with people is 98 per cent up to us.

I doubt it there is a person in this room who at One time or other has not read one of the books giving you rules to success. Many of them are good.

All of them give you a list of rules to govern your treatment of others in order to have those people like you. The difference between following these rules and taking out this insurance policy, is that you must remember the rules as etven in the books, while when you have this policy you do those things without thinking about it, From the books your actions are guided from the head, from this policy, your actions are guided from the heart.

You say, "But we are already taking care of this brotherhood business through our fraternal order, through ear Church, through our Service Clubs."

You are, and thank God you are, for many people have been able to take their pinoe in the world because of the wonci el Ltd work done by these organizations. I would be the most ungrateful person in the world if I did not attempt to give thanks to the people that make up such grand organizations, for the person I love most in this world, my wife, was left an orphan in Lancaster, Penna., when she was only nine years old. A kind Clergyman took her under his wing and placed her in an orphanage in Philadelphia, where she received a wonderful training. She was sent to ,t. chool and on to college She has made a wonderful wife to me and a grand Mother to my son. She was given all of this from an orphanage supported by wonderful people like you. All those who have come in contact with her thr ughout the years since that trainhave also benefited from the kindoi those who made that orphanage possible. in this brotherhood business, I liken the work by these organizations to group insurance, while the insurance policy I

am talking about is a personal insurance, the individuals you deal with every day.

Just one crude illustration of what I mean.

Several years ago my firm was giving me a trial to see how I would work out as a salesman. I went on my assignment full of confidence, but had not gone far when I discovered this selling business was not as easy as I thought it would be. I had many set backs. The trip was for a week. On Wednesday I had a very bad day. Late in the day I arrived in a city many miles from home.

I was homesick, I was discouraged. Fears were entering my mind that I was not cut out for a salesman, perhaps my place was back in the factory. I checked into a hotel and decided to take a little walk before having dinner. In my walk I came across a big beautiful Church.

On the outside they had a sign. It read, "All are Welcome, Everyone Feels at Home Here." That was just what I needed. They were having a service that night. I went back to the hotel, had my dinner, and then back to the Church full of anticipation that I would be able to leave my doubts behind when I left that Church to go back to my hotel.

On entering, I found the people "cold."

No one spoke to me. I was made aware continually, that I was a stranger, by the side glances that I received. Still no one spoke to me. When I left the service the Pastor pushed toward me, what looked like a hand, while he continued a conversation with one of the "fold." The object he placed in my hand felt more like a fish, a cold fish.

I went back to my hotel more disgusted than I had been earlier in the evening.

Added to that, I was angry about the treatment I had received. From the hotel, I wrote a letter to the Pastor of that Church and told him just how I

felt and what I thought of the treatment they gave strangers. I pointed out that laws prohibit business houses from making false claims for their products which they cannot produce, therefore, if the treatment I received was the usual for visitors, then they should take down the sign.

You see what I mean. I am not criticizing that Church or any Church. There is no doubt in my mind that that Church has done much for others, and all in all is doing a wonderful work. They are doing a good job with "Group Insurance", and possibly they were looking for big jobs to do, and became so engrossed that they couldn't see the lump in the throat of this little fellow standing right at their elbow. Had they seen hi-in, they could have done a much needed job of individual insurance.

I must tell you I did receive a letter from the Pastor of the Church. He thanked me for the letter: Told me the letter Was read at a Board meeting of the officials of the Church. As a result of the letter, much spirit was stirred up in their number, and that he defied me or anyone else who might drop in as a stranger, to be treated like that again.

Yes, these policies must be sold, and "Much Help is Needed."

The basis of international peace and understanding can only be found, when we learn to respect the dignity of the human soul, regardless of its race, creed or color.

There definitely is a job for each of us. From what I gather, the type of work you do in this organization, I would say you have a wondeful, opportunity to sell this insurance policy. As I see it you have a responsibility to God, to our World, to yourself, to sell and sell it.

Edgar A. Guest leaves a beautiful thought with his poem, "Brothers All."

BROTHERS ALL Under the toiler's grimy shirt, Under the sweat and the grease and the dirt, Under the rough outside you view, Is a man who thinks and feels as you.

Go talk with him, Go walk with him, Sit down with him by a running stream, Away from the things that are hissing steam, Away from his bench, His hammer and wrench, And the grind of need, And the sordid deed; And this you'll find, As he bares his mind; In the things which count when t h is life is through He's as tender and big and as good as you.

ViSTNIK — WLEIT, TEXAS Be fair with him, And share with him, An hour of time in a restful place, Brother to brother and face to face, And he'll whisper low Of the long ago, Of a loved one dead And the tears he shed; And you'll come to see That is suffering he, With you, is hurt by the self same rod And turns for help to the self same God.

You hope as he, You dream of splendors, and so does he, His children must be as you'd have yours be; He shares your love For the Flag above He laughs and sings For the self same thing When he's understood He is mostly good, Thoughtful of others and kind and true Brave, devoted and much like you.

Under the toiler's grimy shirt, Under the sweat and the grease and the dirt, Under the rough outside you view, Is a pan who thinks and feels like you.

Musings of the Editor (Continued From Page 12) event in the growth of the SPJST. We have 160 local lodges. Each lodge is supposed to have six officers, and from six to twenty committeemen, depending on the size of the lodge. No lodge can function effectively if it has less than ten adult members. For some unknown reason, the delegates at all the conventions believed that a lodge can exist with only six members. That is not existence, that's only vegetation. No local lodge can operate properly if it has one indifferent member serving as president; another member holding the office of secretary, bookeeper and treasurer, and only two or three additional members. If we could assemble all the officers from all the 160 local lodges, we should have between 500 and 900 good and conscientious workers, not counting those who serve on various committees, or who are local organizers. Five hundred good officers would produce wonders. Look what one hundred good organizers accomplished in three months this year. Let me repeat: one of the most valuable assets in your lodge is a new officer. But you cannot find a new officer if you don't look for him, and if you don't give somebody a chance.

( PIPES FOR WOMEN Once upon a time, grandma with her corncob pipe was a cartoon character, reports the New York Times. Now the pipe for women appears not only to have become a fad among New York sophisticates, but also to have invaded the hinterland. O'Shaughnessy, Dewes and Klein reports that pipes -for women have been enjoying a widening market. These modern replacements for the old corncob sell at $3 to $5, and some have jewel trimmings.

SENATOR STRAUSS' RFPORT On November 2nd. 1954, the day of the General Election, the people of Texas will vote on eleven constitutional amendments.

We are taking this means ,of bringing the people some information on these amendments. We are mailing copies of this information to the newspapers asking for their cooperation in publishing at least a portion of this write-up. The constitutional amendments are as follows: 1. This amendment would allow the creation of the office of Tax-Assessor Collector in counties having a population of 10,000 or less. In these counties the Sheriff is the tax assessor-collector at the present time.

2. This amendment would permit the men and women in the Armed Forces to vote in our elections. This would apply only to Texas citizens who are in the Armed Forces and 'would require them to have all of the regular qualifications of a voter.

3. This amendment would require women to serve on juries in Texas. Texas is one of the six remaining states in the U. S. which does not have women on Juries.

4. This amendment would permit all City and county employees to participate in t he Social Security program.

5. This amendment would permit the six largest counties in Texas to hold elections to determine if they want to create City-County 'Hospital Districts and to vote a tax upon themselves for the support and maintenance of such a hospital district.

6: This amendment would give all of the precinct and county officials in Texas a four year term of office. At the present time they have a two year term.

If this amendment passes we will still have elections every two years. Onehalf of the officials will run for office every two years but they will be elected for a four year term.

This amendment would authorize the legislature to fix the salaries of the Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Comptroller an dCornmissioner of the General Land office. At the present time the salaries of these ; offices are fixed by the Constitution: Many state officers salaries are fixed by the legislature today, such has the Railroad commissioners, the presidents of our State Colleges, the .superintendents of our state institutions etc. This amendment also provides that members of the legislature should be paid at the rate of $25.00 per day for 120 days of the regular session; with no ad-

ditional for the days which they remain in session beyond the 120 days.

At the present time members of the legislature receive $10.00 per day for 120 days of the regular session and $5.00 per day for the time they remain in session over 120 days.

8. This amendment would permit school teachers to transfer their retirement benefits from the teachers retirement fund to the State employees retirement fund and state employees to transfer their fund from the State employees retirement fund to the Teachers retirement fund in the event they switch jobs. In other words, if a school teacher goes to work for the State Government, or, if a State Employee goes to teaching school they would not Lose their retirement benefits, if this amendfnent is adopted by the people.

9. This amendment would raise the ceiling on welfare spending in Texas from the present $35 million of 42 million dollars per year. By welfare spending we mean the money that is spent for dependent children, the needy blind and old age assistance.

10. This amendment would permit the of the surplus in the Confederate pension fund to a new state building fund to be used for the purpose of constructing state ,office buildings in the city of Austin. At the present time the state is spending approximately one=fourth of a million dollars each year for office rent in Austin. This amendment would permit the taking of the nearly 7 million dollar surplus in the confederate pension fund and build state office buildings with the money.

11. This amendment would prohibit the State of Texas from financing toll roads in TeXas. It would keep the state out of the toll road business as far as tax money is concerned.

We have just hit the high spots of the amendments which you will be asked to vote on at the General Election this year. We urge you to go to the polls and cast your vote, as you see fit, on these amendments.

Sincerely, Gus J, Strauss 9 4,

Va2ime si nak obeanske svobody jak je 2adoucno bychom toho mohli dokazati i pied tvati odveke Spravedlnosti jig 2ddne zlo nedokate podplatiti? Dokazati, 2e jsme hodni obeti, ktere kladli amerieti vlastenci pied asi 177 lety na oltat lidskYch pkirozenYch pra y ? My, teto doby dedicove, udr2ovatele a stralci jejich odkazu, obeanske svobody? Toho za co oni platili jejich krvi, 2ivoty i majetkenr?, Zname my dnes cenu toho odkazu? Nemyslite, ze tento ptedmet stoji za trochu ptemYgleni?

Jak mocnou musela bYti jejich viva v lidskY rozum, jak to byl soucit s lidem tak desne utiskovanym, 2e se oni zde odvakli k boji za lepk 2i.vot pracujiciho du!

Musel to bYti Pronika yY smysl pro bratrstvi, ae ten uminili Si, 2e zajisti v noun zemi take volnost tem lidem, kteti od jejich matek ueeni byli ctiti Boha jinYm zpOsobem ne2 celd iada jinYch. Tento innysl skutkem ueiniti jiste vy2adovalo si velikou mravni silu! Z tech osob 2a.dnY nepotkeboval se starat o cizi, potem zapachajici lidi kolem nich. Vlastenci ti byli bohak.

Co tedy je ponoukalo, nutilo a vedlo k odieknuti posluS"nosti kraloy lade? Jaka, byla to mot, ktera jim dala zviteziti nad nr? Nestoji to za — ptemYSIeni? Prod se tak delo?

Jestli pak my zde, v teto dobe, o tech 175 let pozdeji, vime o pkirozenYch pravech zivoucich bytosti a zasadach mravnosti, jako vedeli u2 tenkrate tito amerieti vlastenci?

(Pokradovant) Mnul si odi obema rukama a kdyt sled na pki§la a povidala, aby tady nestal a §el si ulotit sve sect, skoro zhurta se ji vyvinul a povidal: `Me tady new padlo do voka a nemiltu se toho zbavit," a byl rad, to mu napadla takova, dobra vYmluva Sleena tomu dobte rozumela a nikterak o torn nemluvila.

Ukazala mu polidku, do nit si mel sve veci a pomahala mu rorttiditi v kufrupradlo.

"Tuhle si dej ko§ilky a tam spodky a kapesniky tady do to ptihradky. Na knihy mag dye oddeleni v polidce tech vy§§ich zasuvkach ma sve veci Ruda.

Ruda je hodny hoch a zitra ptijede. Je ut' velkY, chodi do tehot gymnasia jako ty, ale do sedme ttidy. Kdyi bude pottebovat, on ti pomide s Milostpani se u neho zastavila a povidala: "U nas se ti nebude stYskat, jen kdyt bude hodnY a zpilsolniY." Jendovi se sviralo srdce takova nejaka tesknota mu §la do vAeho citeni a takova cizota milostpani na nej pasobila nejakou chiadnou vzne§enosti a vedle sleeny mu byla tak podivna.

Ale sledna snad i tomu roZumela, protote se rozhlitela a povidala nahle: "Mame take piano a ty 'pry umi§ zpivat M si u nas pkivykneg, budu to nekdy doprovazet."

A §1a, otevtela klaviaturu a za.preludovala svYmi jemnYrni prstiky v klavesach.

Jenda nechal rovnani a pti§el po Lples -kachpinu.Je§tikdynsl§ehat na klavir. Ted' byl velmi zaujat.

"Jejda," povidal, 'to je jako v kostele na varanech. Pan tidici taky tak hraje rukama a nohama."

"Kdyt se ti to libi, mohu to naudit," pravila, "Ruda se take udi a umi jit kragne hrat."

"To ja, bych chtel povidal Jenda a zazatil.

Od to chvile mu sleena, Olga ptipadala jina a velmi ji ctil. To proto, ze umela tak pane hrat. Kdyt poznal Rudu, take se ho s podatku stydel.

Byl to jit velkY hoch, bezrnala pan.

S Jendou mluvil s podatku skoro z vysoka a nejednou se zasmal jeho detinne teal, ale pozdeji se sptatelili.

VIST N f EC WEST, TEXAB

Jenda nebyl hloupY, to muses i velld Ruda uznat a nikdy ho neobtetoval s idohami. Dovedl si v gecko sam vypracovat. Doma mu take nikdo nepomahal.

Kdy2 bylo tteba, sleena Olga mu tlohu opravila a gla se take brzy ptat do akoly, jak Jan Slabina prospiva, Sly gela o nem jenom chvalu. je pozornY a je gte vice nadanSr. 2e vgeckla dobte chape — Mali mu,nee° potite, tedy te je to pouze latina.. Sleena Olga ptigla domil a sama potadala, Rudu, aby Jendovi trochu pomahal.

"Take jste potteboval pomoci. Vite, jak varn daval Kolou gek hodiny? Musite to oplacet zase tern, kteti pottebuji vagi pornoci. Kolou gek ut toho nepottebuje„ tomu nic neoplatite."

"Cot von umfel?" Jenda se zeptal, gohlecinuv s noasti na sleenu.

"0 ne. Pan Kolou gek je dnes jit profesorem."

"To byl hodriST hoch, vzdychla pani spracova, "ten byla jako nag."

"Copak ja nejsem?" tertovne vyeital Ruda.

"Jakpak ne," se smichem ho odbyla Olga, "mime vas jako sveho, toho je dakazem, to varn take nekdy nabijeme."

Jenda se podival zvedave. Je gte to by 'tak schazelo, pomyslil si, on byl tak rad, 2e se biti zbavil.

Ruda se .smal. Vgak ja vim. Milostpani mi nedavno vytahala za "Vag tatinek mile dal pine pravo," pravila pani spravcova zertovne, "a vtdy mi znova dovoluje jen mu natluete, milostpani, kdyt zaslouti," tikava.

Ruda byl chlapec take z dobre rodiny.

Jeho otec byl na venkove lekatem. Kdyt sem ptijel po prve, take se Jenda stydel a stranil, ale pan doktor byl tak vlidny jako "panicky".

Na vSe se ho vyptaval, odkud je a kolik ma sestrieek a prohlitel si jeho sealty a dal si take ultazat Betlem, kted Jenda s velikou peei nalepoval. "To je pro nagi Lidugku," povidal.

Trvalo to hezky dlouho, net se dal Jenda k tomu ptimet, aby zazpival. Stale se hrozne stydel.

Pani spravcova, ho nejednou upominala, ale marne. Teprve Olgu poslechl, kdyt byli sami, Pravila, te ma nektere krasne pisne, ktere nemaji ceny, kdy2 se jenom hraji, ale kdvby ji k nim zazpival— Jenda tedy se domnival, ae tim dela, sleene dobte, kdyt ji svYm zpevem doprovazi. Ve skuteenosti doprovazela sleena Jendu.

"Ach, synku, synku, doma-li jsi," to byla prvni, kterou zpival a Olga byla opravduptekvapena pinosti a eistotou jeho hlasu.

Z Ust takoveho ditete je§td neslygela

Strana 25 new tak dokonaleho. Zamy glene na hocha hledela a zesmutnela. Pravila sama sobe, to ta prostinka Dora dosahla mnohem vice tivotniho atesti, net ona.

Je vdana, a ma takove dobre a nadane dite.

Jenda to jeate nebyl dlouho a jie ho mela velmi rada.

•Jenda si to je gte neptiznaval, ale jit` to take citil, to ma slednu i milostpani rad.

Trochu ho tisnilo, to se v§ichni w te domacnosti jinak chovali net on, jinak jedli a mluvili a byli same — prosim a dekuji.

S podatku ho velmi udivovalo, ae sledna kika milostpani — "rukulibam" a at' jde kam chce, vady se s ni loudi polibe-nim ruky.

Kdyt pobizela milostpani Rudu, aby si, jegte posloutil s jidlem, netekl Ruda ja nechci, nebo — mam dost — nYbri tekl jen — rukulibam — a ut si nevzal.

To jaksi Jendovi nealo dobre dohromady a skoro by se tomu byl smal.

Po Case vSak tomu zvykl a za nejakou dobu Rudu napodoboval, ania by si to u-; vedomoval.

Kdyt ptijel na Dukely domfi, hledela na nej maminka pina radostneho Docela jinak vypadal, net pokud byl doma.

Mel pod kabatkem peknY tmavomodd svetr, Upine upjatS., at ke krku, takte nemusel mit pomaekanY limeeek s leda, jak zamotanou vazankou. A 'cane adpovidal na vaecko, co se ho ptali, otec na nej s Udivem pohlitel.

"Ja main radost," povidala Dora, kdyt Jenda neposlouchal, "jak se tam ten chlapec vzdelal. Mluvi jako panskY dite. Dekuju Panu Bohu, to se dostal pani spravcovej. A slyaels jak povidal sledne: "To je andel, ta sleena Olga.

"PanskY dite!" dal se Jan Slabina smichu," patrne je na nom znat paw& Melas ho holt s panem, to je to!"

Dora pohledla na mute s pod oboot,:, "Abys mne hned katdou radost nepo7 kazil, to bys nebyl ani ty!" zvolala ce. Pak jii radost nad Jenikem chovale,, a tivila jen ye svem nitru.

0 vanocich videla je gte lepgi pokrolc, Jenda povidal radostne o gkole a sledne, Olze a o plane. Jit umi zahrat nekoliX pisnieek a hnedle bude brat etidy — rad by poprosil tatinka, aby mu je koupil. -"Mann, prosim te, rekni to tatinkovi," tadonil. Sam nikdy otci o nic netikal.

Jan Slabina to dobte veal, jak je to dobte, a jak chlapec ziskal, to se dostal do takove rodiny a na studie, ale nechtel to nahlas tici a to hlavne ne Dot. Prod ji rad tYral, sam nevedel, kdyi ji piece stale miloval stejne prudce a ohniye, jako kdyt si ji vzal.
