ViTHOVA BUDOUCipl NOVNilit E SCHUZI 6ESTEHO distriktu V konane pied dvema tYciny NT Elmaton bylo 'diem:1m slibeno od redaktora, ze uvefejni ye Vestniku jednu nadmiru easovou a pkilehavou pkedna g ku z konvence Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu v Atlantic City.

Ne2 redaktor zaeal s pfekladem Aryvkil one pfednagky, pkigel referat psany kolegou Jaroslavem F. Chmeliekem. Referat byl ottslen v jednom severnim easopise. V referatu je zretelne vyzvednut vYznam konvence a ta vzpomenuta byla ptednag ka, kterou redaktor Vestniku mel v iimyslu preloziti. Proto poukto zde siov a piekladu bratra Chmelieka.

Pig e: "Jeden z feenikii v plenarni schiizi kongresu zdtraznil ,ze my, bratrske organisace, gettime na nepravem miste.

DrZime "svieku pod kbelikem", take nas nikdo nevi; a jestli svet nas zna podle jmena, nevi zcela nic o na gi systematicke einnosti. Nevedomost vefejnosti o fraternalismu je ptimo zaraZejici.

"Hlavni vYznam fraternalismu je v jeho prakticke strance, v jeho hodnote j ako ochrance; tedy v hodnote, je2 by mela hrat tlohu v na gem zamestnanem a Mnohostrannem ivote. tkednici a zastupci bratrskYch a sesterskS7ch spolka maji mezi sebou vymeriovati nazory, infotmace, spoleene zajmy, poradit jeden druhemu, jak ze jmena je patrno—bratrstvi. Co tim minime? Pro nektere je to ureitS, pocit, sladka, iluse, krasnY sen, nejakY prchavY dojem. Nebo je to jen namet pro fedi prona gene po slavnostnich veeefich? Anebo je to snad nekolik vgeobecnYch moralnich zasad, jichZ pronageni tak lahodi na gemu jazyku? Nic takoveho. Bratrstvi je zakladnim einitelem, zakladnim zakonem pfirody vetkanem v osnovu vesmiru, a jako takovY nesmi bYti porugen.

"Velikost narbda spoeiva V jeho lidstvi. Odumte-li lidskost—zemte narod.

A v lidskosti spoeiva hodnota v gech bratrskYch organisaci. 6innost bratrskYch spollth svadi dohromady lidi riiznYch ras a vyznani, rtiznYch zpason mygleni, rilznYch zvyklosti.

Zprava nominaeniho vYboru, prednesena bratrem Kleprlikem, nebyla napsana, ale podana Ustne. V duchu pfirovnal jsem jeho pkednes s proslovy, nove zvoleneho vladniho senatora Romana Hrueky z Washingtonu, kterY rovne2 sve rnyelenky poclava soustavne, jako perlielty.

Na nominanitn vYborn byli bratii Mareak, Eleik a Kleprlik, posledni pledsedan vYboru. Vysvetleno bylo, ze norninaeni vYbor byl ustanoven, aby vzal pc,vinnosti distriktnich usedniku na veinal plesnou valau a uvaZil veechny kvality a kvalifikace. VYbor oznamoval, to veli• kost distriktu je velkou nevYhodou pi vYberu distriktnich einovniket—toti2 elektefi byli by obetavi, znali mistnich Pomerit a jednotlivYch radii a eleml distriktu. VYbor oznamoval, he neni vodu k zmene ilrednilru Pfedseda se yenuje zajmiun distriktu s neve"ednim nadSenim a obetavosti. Mistopredseda te2 ukazuje nejlep gi snahu, aby,distriktu byl prospeenY. Tajemnik je dbalY svYch povinnosti a neni proti /Amu a jell° praci ani nejmenei namitky. Pokladnik vykonaval svou funkci svedomite a s nadeenim, ale ze zdravotnich a osobnich dilvodu odmitnul frfad dale vesti. Druzi Ufednici zdrahali se pfijmouti sve fifady, ale v rozpacich koneene svolili uvazati se do povinnosti nadale. Za odstupujiciho pokladnika nalezen byl jinY Glen, dobrY a ochotnY. Prato nominaeni vYbor dopefueuje, aby bylo jednani urychleno a volba uleheena, by zvoleni byli do distriktnich uxadu eleni vYborem vyeetfeni a deporueeni. To .0"3ak neznamenalo, pfipornina,1 pfedseda -vYborti, ze se to ma odhlasova,ti bez oposice a narnitek. Ita2c13"7 Glen mute povstati a prohlasiti, he s doporueenim vYboru by celkem souhlasil aZ na to, aby byl jmenovan ten nebo onen do ureiteho Snad volne plynouci mluva bratra Kleprlika, snad jeho jadrne a niocne ptsobici vysvetleni vyvolalo v posluchaeich odezvu spokojenosti a souhlasu. 2adny se neozval a zprava vYboru byla pitata bete zrneny.

Kdo byli dosazeni do Afada, o tom bude podana zprava od osob k tomu ureenYch. Ve sehfizi do glo tez na vysvetteni nekterYch nejasnYch veci. Pkedsedovi Markovi byla tfikrat polUena otazka, proe Hlavni idadovna ustanovila redaktora statnim organisatorem. Na dotaz pfiela tfikrat vyhYbava odpo-ved, ktera neuspokojila. koneene redaktor byl nucen podati vysvetleni, he statin organiEator dosud nebyl zjednan. Zaeatkem roku nabidnul se redaktor, he pokusi se vypracovati kampan pro ziskani vice elenit. Bylo to s podminkou, ze 'to bude jen prozatimne. Chtel tim poskytnouti Atedratra

Ve stfedu, dne 10. Estopadu 1954. easu, aby poznali, co potfebujeme a aby si vyhledali nekoho, kdo by mohl bYti zjednan statnim organisatorem, kdo by se tomu zodpovednemu nkolu venoval celou dirk.

Neyedelo se tenkrat, jak plat nebo jakou nahradu by meli hlavni nfednici statnimu organisatoru nabidnouti. Proto redaktor pfistoupil na prozatimni dohodu, ze povede organisaeni praci, pokud mu volnY eas bude dovolovati, a piitom povede tee pfesne zaznamy o torn, kolik vydani je s touto praci spojeno. Hlavni nfadovna sama nabidla prozatimni podminky. Na tyto podminky pfistoupil redaktor s dorozumenim, to po peti mesicich bude celY postup organisaeni einnosti dtkladne prozkouman.

Po dvou mesicieh oznamoval redaktor v dubnove schtzi, to nebylo mu =trio uskutednit v gechno to, co se planovalo.

Nejvetti pfekatkou byla okolnost, to byl od ustfedi piing daleko, to nemohl sledovati, jake otazky nebo tadosti pfichazeji od organisatort, to nevidel na celY postup kampane. Na tyto namitky bylo upozorneno, aby pokraeoval jette do e'ervence, celYch pet mesict, jak bylo ptvodne ujednano. Po pet mesicich snad bude mono celY organisaeni postup podrobiti lepgimu posouzeni.

N'ezmenilo se nie v eervenei a proza. timni zkutebni doba byla protahnuta do fijna. Ale ani v fijnu nedoglo k tadnemu vyrie geni nebo zmene. Redaktor znovu pfipominal ureite nevYhody a nedostatky, kdy vykonava vedeni organisadni prace jen z east. Ve tfech schtzich redaktor ptipomnel dtlektost lepplant., ale na vyfeteich ni jejich dosud nedoglo. Hlavni nfadovna si dosud statniho organisatora nenagla.

Osolme redaktor nevi, zdali se ut nekdo o podobnou praci hlasil nebo zdali Se s nekYm poeita. Redaktor neni statnim organisatorem, pouze pomaha hlavni ntadovne zjistiti ureitY postup nebo dostati ureite informace, co takova einnost statniho organisatora bude stati finanane a jake potite nebo problemy bude t1eba pfekonati.

• Zajezd do distriktni selifize v• Corpus Christi vzal redaktoru dva dny easu. Byla zastavka u mantels J. J. •ikeskovYch v Placedo. Redaktor byl jiZ dam) dluZen navgtevu znamemu spolkovemu pracovniku Moravkovi v Robstown, kterY na Kolumbtly den slavil dvaaosmdesate narozeniny. A byla v Corpus Christi schtzka s jednim spolkovYm bratrem pottebujicim rady stran obeanskeho listu. Ktomu redaktor nechal si zaslati sazbu z tiskArny do Corpus Christi, aby v sobotu yeeer 1110111 provesti korekturu.

V S Tbit — WEST, TZSAS Vzdor tomu, ze jednotlivec nekdy vstane pied patou rano a na odpodinek jde at hodne po pnlnoci, piece eas nestaei na vykonani ukolu nejnutnej gich. Kandy ma podobne zku genosti. Rovnet pisateli cela sobota nestaeila; musel dodelavati v nedeli pied distriktni schtzi. Nezbylo dosti easu, aby byl ptitomen programu deti; pied dtvrtou hodinou odpoledne spechal k Houstonu. Bylo tfeba odeslati korekturu do tiskarny poslednim 'ylakem z Houstonu, jinak by bylo nutno konati v pondeli rano cestu z Houstonu do West autem. Doufam, to program mladete bude popsan uspokojive od tech, kdo melt pfiletitost vYstupy a eisly Teti se pokochati. Redaktor byl rad, to po petihodinove jizde g t'astne domt dorazil a aye povinnosti jegte yeas vyfidil.

Mnohjr etenak se pta, co je to to "korektura". Je to opravovani sazeeskYch a tiskovYch chyb. I dobrY hudebnik nekdy vyloudi nespravnY ton. Take dobrY sued nekdy udela chyby. Nekdy neni tomu vinen tolik sazee, jako je to ona matina, na kterou stale klepe. Sta & . chybne klepnuti a vypadne nespravna znaeka, ktera v rozputtenem kovu vyrati pismena. Prsty stale hraji na klavesnici sazeciho stroje. Nekdy lehei itder zavini, ze znadka nevypadne nebo se o zlomek ytefiny opozdi a druha znaeka ji pfedskodi. Sated takove chyby nezpozoruje. At kdy se vysazend latka otiskne na pruhu papiru, ktery je asi stfevice dlouhY, teprve ten, kdo ete tyto "kartaeove ky", chyby musi hiedati .Tomuto hledani sazeeskYch a tiskovYch chyb se fika, to se provadi "korektura". Redaktor Vestniku musi katdou sobotu a katdou nedeli pfedisti pies tficet techto papirovYch past a musi je vratit do tiskarny v pondeli rano. Krome toho musi se vystrzena latka vymeriti, aby ji na nekterou stranku neschazelo nebo nepfebYvalo. Celkern je to zamestnani, ktere vytaduje hodne vice easu net kolik je tfeba k napsani elanku nebo dopisu. Jen samotna korektura pro jedno 'Oslo Vestniku vytaduje od testi do osmi hodin soustledeni a ppzornosti. Nektere osoby s yYm temperamentem se pro tuto praci naprosto nehodi.

Na redaktora Vestniku doebizeji Zadosti, aby poslal tomu nebo onomu krajanu, nekdy i neelenu, ona star gi disla Vestniku, v nicht byly otisknuty nvahy "Co ma znati americkY obean." Zpravidla je to nekdo, kterY nema dosud obeanskY list a pieje si ho dostati. Od nekoho jineho slygel, to ye Vestniku byly pokyny, jak studovati otazky, ktere jsou tadateltm pfedkladany. Prvnim dvema nebo teem tadostem redaktor vyhovel, ba dopsal tiskarne, aby °nem osobam byly poslany zpateani cisla, jsou-li na ruce. Ale

Pomocna ruka v takovYch pfipadech je vlastne povinnosti. Vedel by nekdo rady? Ovgem nejsnadnejti by bylo fici redaktoru, "Co sis nadrobil, tak sl take snez". Ale plati stanovy jen pro redaktora?

Redaktor 'Vestniku ma na starosti sekci, v nit se probiraji otazky, jak oznamovati bratrske spolky a jejich einnost. Mistopfedseda John A. Rubella bude jednim z hlavnich teeniku.

AUTEM Z TEXASU DO ARKANSASU A LOUISIANY Popisuje Jaroslav Kleprlik (Pokraeovani) Kdyby dlovek nemusel jist, byla by to jiste dobra vec. Nejen, te by neutratil mnoho penez, ale byl by u getten i vtelijakYch nemilfch starosti, zvla gte pki cestovani. I my jsme s tim melt urdite potite. Ne snad, ze bychom nemeli co jist, neb nemohli si koupit na co bychom byli melt chut'. To naprosto ne, mantelka ptipravila toho vic net Bost a sestra, Holla toho mela je gte vice, n,ezapomnela ani na, obdivuhodne velikou lahev se silnou dernou kavou (big family size).

A v obchodech mute si katclY koupit co si jen pfeje, nechybi nam zde nic a vge je volne. Main na mysli nem jineho; totit, ze alai° nam starost kde se pohocilne najime venku na derstvem vzduchu.

Vim, te nekdo tekne, vtclyt' jsou podel dalnice zbudovana mista pro parkovani, se stoly i lavidkami, dokonce nekde I s peel na ohtivani, pedeni atd.

A ted' jsme u toho, prosim. Kdyt jsme rano jeli, videli jsme dosti e'asto tabulku s napisem "Roadside park one mile", neb "Roadside park 1000 feet" a pod. Nektera mista k odpodinku byla opravdu velmi pekna, ye stinu velikYch stromti, ptimo to lakalo. Ale tehdy jsme to, ne pottebovali, nebyl je gte Las k jidlu. Pak ale jako z udelani ne a ne nee° najit.

Kdyt se nage taludky jit mocne hlasily, rozhodl bratr Holly, te nebudeme Cekat az najdeme postranni parkovi gte, nYbrt, te zastavime u prvniho stromu a najirrie se. Jo, ale to znamenalo • ten strom najit. Ut jsme se vzdavali nadeje, kdy koneene jsme videli stromy a dokonce i laovgem na opaene strane dvousmerne dalnice. Bratr Holly mistrne se dostal na protismernou dalnici a ut jsme• si delali laskominy jak se posilnime. Ale chyba lavky. Krasne namalovana tabulka, viditelna pouze z blizka a se strany, hlasila: "Private, keep out". NezbYvalo tedy nic jineho, net se opet dostat na nagi dalnici a pokradovat, ale jak dlouho?

Jegte dobte, ze na svete netrva, nic vedne. Vgemu jednou konec, i na gemu hladovemu cestovani. MalY vr gidek s porostem a dvema suchYmi stromy poskytl nam to nejlepgi pohodli. Chutnalo nam civojna.sobne. Ze jsme nebyli prvni, bylo vidno z velkeho mnotstvi papiru, krabic a prazdnYch plechovek od rilznY'ch konsery a samortejme i od piva. 0 humor nebylo nouze, museli jsme se tomu vgemu smat. Ovgem hledani nejakeho stromu opakovalo se i druhY den 1 na ceste zpatky, ale ftcly to dobte dopadlo. Uvadim to proto, aby dtenaki i po teto strance vedeli jak jsme cestovali.

Bylo pkijemne teplo a nemohlo bSrti lepgiho a ra,dostnej giho, net pozorovat nadhernou krajinu, kterou jsme projit-

Vt STNiX WEST, TEXAS deli. Krasna firocIna, pole, zelena, pastviska ,Vet ginou rovina, take bylo videt giroko daleko. Dalnice jsou staveny neuvetitelne primodate, proto byl krasnY pohled kdy pted nami letela dalnice jako prostkena pokrYvka, jejit konce se zdarilive sbihaly v deice dvou a snad i vice mil. Mluvim.-li o dalnicich, tedy musim zdurazniti, te silnice v Texasu jsou opravdu bezvadne, Mint se nemtite pochIubiti katdY stat. Jsou dobte stavene, dostateene giroke a proto pro jizdu bezpedne. Vgechna dest na gemu statnimu odboru pro stavbu a udrtovani si1nic a dalnic.

At do Dallasu projitdeli jsme jen mengimi mesty, obcemi a osadami (jako na ptiklad Italy se 200 obyvateli), vesmes UpravnYmi misty, mnohdy s krasnYm okolim pro rybateni. Farmy jsou tam vesmes mengi, rodinne, honosici se poll bud' s bohatou demou phdou, nebo jinde opet s chudou, ilutou i piseitou, a to jednak na rovine, v donne neb na mengim pahorku. Pokud byly kde vysazeny stromy, videli jsme pomerne velmi malo strornii ovocnYch. Dosti bylo pekanovYch stromil, vet ginou vgak byly to stromy nerodici ovoce.

Pit tivem hovoru a smichu nam cesta pekne ubihala a kratee po pate hodine odpoledne jsme byli v Dallasu. Nejeli jsme do vnitfniho mesta, nYbrt postrannimi tepna.mi do ulice Harlendal, kde pied domem Cislo 1267 jsme zastavili.

Byla to residence bra,tra Hugo Schefcaka, ktereho vgichni jiste znate. Jeho podobizna jako. Mena stavebniho vYboru pro postaveni di zakoupeni budovy naai Jednoty byla otigteno. ve Vestniku z 11. listopadu 1953. Bratr Schefeak nebyl doma, pfivitala nas jeho mantelka, vlastni sestra Rubie Holle. Netrvalo vga,k dlouho a bratr Schefcak pfi gel take. Oba nas pfijali tak, jako bychom patkili do rodiny Bylo to ptijeti vpravde bratrske. Zavedli nas do velikeho a krasne zatizeneho pokoje s urnelYm ehlazernm, kde jsme se pohodlne usadili a' dali do povidani. A by16 veru o dein poVidat. Schefeakovi v tart byli v Hot Springs, odkud si zajeli do Chicago, kde pobyli asi 2 tYclny a v noci s patku na sobotu, t. j. pra,ve v den, kdy jsme k nim pkijeli, se vratili donna.

'Atka pro povidani jiste velmi bohata a nas; pfirozene, vae velmi zajimalo. Schefcakovi jsou velci milovnici hudby, piedevgim hudby Ceske a nagich lidovYch deskYch pisnidek. Z Chicago, si ptivezli nekolik gramofonovYch desek dovezenYch z 1eskoslovenska, a ty nam pfehraNebylo tteba oznamovati, tie je to deska hudba, to kaidY hned poznal. Ten rytmus a sla,dke tony mluvily jasne. Ta nage deska muzika je tak typicka,, tak originalni, je jenorn jedna na svete. Zpevy byly melodicke a jak hudebni kousky,tak i pisne (42.1 na jednu) byly vesmes

Strrona, 9 nove, z posledni doby. Tak se nam 'te jsme si je pfehrali je'gte jednou.

Aby nem bylo veseleji, pti gel take bratr Joe Svadleriak (bratr Rubie Holle) se svoji mantelkou, kterY bydli nedaleko. Bavili jsme se znamenite, ze jsme ani nepozo-, rovali co se deje ve vedlej gim pokoji.

Tam byla piipravena sla,vnostni tabule,, .Ponevadt to bylo skuteene nee° rnimoradneho„ dovolte mi, prosim, alespoft nes, kolik slov o tort. Kdyt jsme byli potacia..» ni, abychoin zasedli, nemohi jsem udivenim tic' ani slovo. VelikY still byl prirou pfepinen misami, miskami a imiseekeirt takovYch dobrotin, te az ()di bolely. N ebudu vypisovat co vgechno bylo na stale elm nas Schefcakovi uctili, nerad bych delal zbyteene laskominy zvla gte toinu, kdo snad ma ptedepsanou picisnou dietu.

Krace desky keeeno, vgem nam jolt naleti gmakovalo. Je gte dnes vidim pked sebou.tu nadheru a kdy prase nikdo ner kouka tak se mlsne olizuji. Sestrai Schefcakova je vYborna deska kuchafka, 'pi zavocleni v kucharskem umeni by se urn:stila znamenite.

Po bohate vedeki jsme se radili kora phjcleme. Pilvodne chteli jsme navgtiviti sestru B. Valdikovou, katclemu jiste znarriou co dopisovatelku Vestniku. Drive bydleli Valeikovi poblit Sokolovny, nedavno se vga,k ptestehovali at na konec mesta. Telefonicky nemohli jthlg. se dovolati, as jit bylo dosti pozde; a ponevadt sestra Valeikova se obavala,, ze bychom cestu k nim po trne tetko ria7! gli, pozvala nas k sobe na druhY den rano, s dimt jsme souhlasili.

Abychom nesedeli doma,, meli jsme na uvatenou: bud' jeti do Ennis, kam jsme byli pozvani na tanedni zabavu, na nit vyhravala nejaka proslula kapela z 0klahomy, nebo se podivat do Sokolovn, stfediska mistnich krajant. Po uvatem, te do Ennis je to piece jenom troche daleko, te bychom nebyli Bost odpodati na dalgi cestu, upustili jsme, ad neradi, od tohoto na.vrhu a jeli jsme do Sokoloiny. Tam seznamili jsme se s naghni brSimi deskyini lidnii, star gimi i mi usedliky. Vpkedu ye vSreepni mistnosti, bratki hrali v domino, v pkilehle pak mistnosti sestry byly pohrouteni. ye hrti "Bingo".

Ve sttedu, dne 10. listopadu 1954,

sluhujete diplom uznani Vag eho kuchafskeho umeni. Jests 10 mil za mestem jsem si olizoval prsty. Pak /lam jests ukazali ostatni mistnosti 8ve residence, zahradku a, bratr Valeik nas poeastoval v2aennu specialit0u, sSTrem z ku2lho mleka, dovezenYin z kterehosi severskeho statu z Evropy. Nee° skuteene zvla gt' dobreho a pikantniho. Ad bychom se byli radi jegte zdr2eli, ne glo to, museli jsme dale, jinak bychom do vedera nedojeli k cili nagi cesty.

Z Dallasu sainotneho jsme mnoho nevideli, jen celkovY pohled psi ptijezdu odpoledne a pak weer, kdy2 jsme proji2deli mesto tonouci v mot!. svetel. Pohled na osvetlene mrakodrapy ptipominal nam Ma,nhattan, teka, krasne mosty a vge ptisobilo mocnYm dojmem. Dallas je prilis velikY pro kratkou nav gtevu a ponevad2 poskytuje mnoho zajimaveho, je tteba, vice easu na jeho prohlidku.

Tim jsem vlastne trochu vyboell z vlastniho vypravovani, doufam vgak, Ze mi to nebude pokladano za zle. Abychom neztratili mnoho easu hledanim cesty z Dallasu, doprovodili nas Schefcakovi daleko za obvod mesta. Jell ye siren' autu pied nami a pak, kdy2 nam zamavali a pkali gt'astnou cestu, se vratili. JelikoZ se ji2 blilila jedenacta hodina, bratr Holly jel pinou zakonem dovolenou rychlosti, abychom ziskali co nejvice easu.

A tak jsme uhaneli po dalnici US 67 do pohranieniho mesta v Texasu — do Texarkany.

Chorus Will Highlight Fraternal Convention CHORUS OF POKROK HOUSTON LODGE WILL HIGHLIGHT CONVENTION I am very happy to announce at this time that the newly-established fortymember chorus of Lodge Pokrok No. 88 in Houston will perform at the Texas Fraternal Congress Convention at the Galvez Hotel in Galveston on November 18th at 8:00 p. in. They will present a special Festive Production arrangement of our S. P. J. S. T. Fraternity Song. This new production arrangement was composed for me to be used on this occasion by Mr. John J. Peen, musical director of my programs, and will be performed under the direction of the very talented concert singer and conductor of the chorus, Mrs. Elsie Dvorak Kadera.

The composition is written in two part harmony for mixed voices and features and ouverture for the chorus to march to their performances stand; whereafter a short fanfare, the composition opens with a solo rendition of the song by Miss Helen Fusig, our attractive soloist, followed by a variation with the whole men section singing melody against the soloist counter-melody, which in turn develops into a colorful and unusual Finale arrangement of women's, men's, and the soloists voices against an exciting musical piano background figuration.

The ladies-section of the chorus will wear white formal gowns of nylon with brocaded silver bodices, draped with ny-.

Ion stoles, and the men-section of the chorus will wear dark dinner clothes sporting white buttoniers in their lapels.

Our soloist will appear in a baautiful gown of blue, and our lady conductor chose a color of brilliant red for her gown to complete our SPJST. colors of red, white, and blue.

(By Birdie Hilsher) Mrs. Guy Douglas, great acclaim of audiences wherever they made their appearance.

I am sincerely happy in the knowledge that my recommendation made some months ago in my editorial pertaining to the establishment of choral singing as part of our fraternal activity, has been since adopted by several lodges. Pursuing this artistic endeavor, lodges. Pursuing this artistic endeavour, 'our members will enjoy many and many pleasant hours 9f most stimulating creative activity and in their appearances will publicize the good name of our SPJST Society and with well performed performances gain for it, themselves, and all the people of Czech ancestry, the respect and admiration of their community and their audiences.

This cultural activity of Choral Singing also creates a great 'opportunity to capture the interest and respect of our younger generation and inspire it into joining with pride the chorus as an active member. You will also attract many non-members who love singing and will join our SPJST Society just to be able to participate in our choruses.

To all these SPJST Singers, wherever a chorus is already established or will be in existence in the future, I am dedicating the following poem with my sincerest congratulations on their decision to follow the traditional Czech love for music and singing: S. P. J. S. T. PEVECKEMU SDRU2ENI Zazpivejme sobe v kaZde rodni dobe jako zpiva skrivan, kdyZ se vznese s pole, necht' ty naSe pisne hlaholem se nesou v bratrstvi a lasce, v dali nekoneenou.

Our Youth Movement 67. c, 3y birdie Washer

One of the largest and most success-1 ful features of conventions of the National Fraternal Congress is the Fraternal Youth Counselors Association Breakfast. It has expanded from small beginnings to about 200 convention delegate attendance, and this year President Louise Patrick presided. It was not the annual meeting of the association, for the annual business meetings and election of officers, are held in May in Chicago.

The officers and members of the committee on arrangements had decorated the dining hall, and there were favors on each table. The breakfast committee was composed of Anna M. Cooley, Chairman; E. Willis Lamoreaus, Co-C.hairma; and Birdie Hilsher, Lena A. Shugart, Vivian Watkins, Hazel D. Godlove, and Michael Grasha.

Clara B. Cassidy, National President of the Woodmen Circle, said grace.

National Fraternal Congress President Lendon A. Knight, said, "I have the greatest admiration and respect for this Youth Counselors Organization. I realize your difficulties in getting started, and admire your success."

Miss Patrick introduced the officers of the Youth Counselors Association, the committee and then the brilliant speaker, Mrs. J. Warren Hastings of Washington, D. C., who spoke on "Every Child is My Child in the Fabric of Fellowship," and held the close attention of the audience while she discussed the problems of our youth today. "Many," she said, "get in wrong company, and crimes are committed without thinking, for when they are asked why they did such a thing—the answer usually is, `I don't know—just didn't have anything else to do, I guess.' They are creative lonely children; nobody cares enough for them. They need good fellowship and a sense of security.

Do you accept a child as he is? Every child is my child and your child. All children are ours in the fabric of fellowship."

She related a survey by "Times," the magazine in which it was found that

children in their own words want security and respectability.

Speaking of the Youth Counselors present, Mrs. Hastings said, "I look upon the quality of your work and I see a sense of responsibility and vision. You should make any child say, `I have a friend'."

Her last thought left with us was: "If there is a song in your heart, And a purpose in your soul, You can teach all children your song."

On the report of the Committee on Junior Membership to the National Fraternal Congress Convention by M i ss Patrick, which was made, adopted and approved, I quote: "There is no doubt of the belief of the National Fraternal 03ngress and i t s affiliated societies in the important place the Youth groups hold in present and future of our societies.

"In comparison of the past and present is necessary, in an enthusiastic and hopeful approach, the Junior Membership Committee is proud to report progress. The fact that the combined junior certificates of the member societies of the National Fraternal Congress have increased from 825,000 in 1940 to 1,863,254 junior certificates in 1953, an increase of over one million junior certificates in 11 years. In analyzing the junior insurance in force, we find that at the end of 1953, there was $1,352,059,940 of insurance in force. This in itself is proof of the importance of our junior work.

"When you read of the great strides insurance companies are making the last few years in writing juvenile business, the fraternal societies should keep on the alert, as we would not want to be surpassed. The fraternal system recognized the importance of juvenile insurance many years ago, and we want to keep "ion top."

"It is evident that the American population is increasing and that the prospects are there. It is up to the field workers to take advantage of the opportunity. The strength of our societies depends on our ability to rally strong capable field representatives. No doubt

that the strength of an organization depends upon the experience and ability of its leaders, but if there is no enthusiastic corps of field representatives to put that tried "know-how" to work in spite of opposition and obstacles, progress cannot be made.

"It will take the combined efforts of every society affiliated with National Fraternal Congress emphasizing juvenile business to forge ahead."

(Just as I have been repeatedly stating, "It will take our combined, unified, and concentrated effort within our own SPJST organization to obtain and retain our Youth) Mis Patrick went on saying, "You will agree the youth of our societies is essential. Just as nations move forward on the feet of little children, so do our fraternal societies move forward by training the youth who are to be our leaders of tomorrow."

"Many Junior Directors are called upon by various societies to assist in establishing junior activity programs. We sincerely believe the time has come to provide a way for assistance, so therefore: We recommend , that the National Fraternal Congress authorize the National Fraternal Youth Counselors Association to appoint a Junior Advisory Committee to whom interested societies might turn for help in the development of activity programs for youth groups.

"The Fraternal Youth Counselors Association is dedicated to the task of furthering the youth movement. For a good "door opener," turn to the Youth, as "Youth Unlocks the Future."

And that, brothers and sisters, was the report made by our National Youth Counselors Association President, Miss Louise Patrick. We must admit it offers a great deal of food for serious thinking within our own SPJST organization.

Also I would like to quote at this time another important observation. "As the nations schools and colleges prepared to open, Commissioner of Education, S. M. Brownell of Washington estimated that 38 million students will be enrolled during the 1954-55 school year, an increase over last year of almost 1,900,000. This is the 10th straight year the number of students has increased, but Mr. Brownell emphasized that the peaks are yet to come because of the high birth rates since early in World War II, after a low period in. the 1930's. His statement added that by 1959-60, the enrollment in elementary (Continued on page 21)

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES Report from Lodges—page 14 SOKOL CORPUS CHRISTI Corpus Christi, Texas The date of our annual Sokol meeting has been changed from Sunday, November 7 -to Sunday, November 14, after the S.P.J.S.T. business meeting.

After both meetings we will have, "Jitrnickcity hody", All proceeds to go into the SokOl Travel fund.

To round out our day we will present our first Czech -play of -the season, "Rozmysli si Marenko".

Na Zdar ANNIE REGMUND • •( `LODGE POKROK DALLAS NO. 84 Dallas, Texas Dear Members and Friends, I'd like to inform all the members of Lodge Pokrok No. 84 that our regular meeting will be held Sunday, November 28, instead of November 21. This is necessary as on November 21, District Three will hold its meeting in Ft. Worth. So, all of you members of Pokrok try and come to this meeting.

Otir regular meeting for December will be held on the 19th. The officers for 1955 will be elected then for our Lodge. As many of the present officers prOmised to serve only one year, we'll have to select new ones. I sincerely urge all you voting members to come out and help with this important business.

With interest I read the reports of Slovanska Lipa 66 of Waco. First, the purchase of land, then the meetings held there and now plans for a building. It's wonderful for a group to work together like that. It just goes to prove there never is anything too large to tackle.

When there's a will, there's a way. We wish you a lot of success and loads of luck in this project.

On ' the Sunday of our December meeting, there will be a Christmas program given by the children and directed by Sisters Annie Steglik and Mary Nemec.

Later, we will have the tree with fruits and candies for the children. The time of day- is not known to me at this time, so watch the Vestnik for this information: And speaking of Christmas, there alWays seems to be a problem regarding presents. My one suggestion would be to present one of the policies offered by the' SPJST to a loved one. This would be- a.practical as well as welcomed gift.

Sister Lillian Jarma, your letter to the Vestnik concerning the baseball team was wonderful. We're all proud to have a team composed of our boys to represent

the SPJST.. We hope (and know) that the ball team will make just as good next season. Lillian, do write more often. In fact, I'd be more than glad to let you have the job of reporter as I fe ,e1 you'd make a wonderful one.

I want to thank, in behalf of our Lodge, those that donated the goodies for the children on Halloween night.

Bozena Jez, John Slovak, Bennie Jarma and Ben David furnished the ice-cream and the cookies were donated by Sisters Agnes Kutil, Helen Pokladnik and myself. We do hope that all the children • enjoyed this party.

Dallas, Texas Brothers and Sisters: It was not pleasant to read the letter of Brother L. 0. Hosek, in which he criticized the ,efficers of the Supreme Ltidg,e, that they did not let us listen to 'the meeting with the Press Committee.

'Brother Hosek ismy good friend. We haVe known each other for a number of ydarS, and I appreciate his friendship and I think very much of his sincere and good ideas for the SPJST. But I be1t c that he should look on the other side of the question before he wrote the let ter. • If Brother Hosek and. Brother Pokladink waited just a little longer and came to the afternoon session, they would have received the same courteous treatment and the same apology for delay as we did on the Building Committee. They could have stayed even for the session the next clay. , 1 know that the SPJST members want to know the truth why the Supreme Lodge wanted to have a private discussion with the Press Committee. The officers invited the Press Committee to discuss with them wh y certain letters mailed by one of the officers to the editor were rejected by the entire Press Conunittec, and why these letters were not published.

It was a ticklish discussion. Nobody co.ulti: tell what is going to be said in the discussion between the Supreme Lodge and ithe Press Committee. The officers looked on the whole matter as a family misunderstanding which should stay tat home and not to be broadcast like;,some families do it.

-I, Lain sure the officers had the good of• the ,SPJST at heart and they wanted tarsettle.the misunderstanding privately.

I was one of them who had to step out, but I don't blame the officers. At first, I had the same feeling like Brother Hosek but. I: game to the conclusion that any misunderstanding in the official family should be settled behind the closed door.

Meetings of this character are boring, stressed that the necessity of holding lodge meetings Was a legal responsibility useless and unnecessary. I say, "unof all fraternalists and was , forthright necessary", because in my own society in his criticism of societies emphasizing we have learned, through a constant insurance and neglecting fraternal ac drive and effort, that it is possible to tivities. The opening remarks of Mr. build up extraordinary meetings of great interest and pride to the members withKnight's paper bear repeating: "Fraternal benefit societies are, and in our local units.

How true! And I, for one, heartily a- of home office; such leadership is an gree with Mr. Knight's further statement absolute essential because it is looked for and expected by the officers of the to the effect that— "Fraternalism is the cornerstone upon local branches and, even more important, which lodges are built and maintained they are entitled to leadership. Surely, and that fraternal activities are a neces- if the officers of a home office are not sary incident to an active lodge system, interested in fraternal activities and without which the lodges would stag- meetings then those officers forming the lower echelon will be even less innate and die."

Mr. Newberry's paper, like Mr Knight's, terested.

The home office must be responsible contained many provocative thoughts but the one which I believe we should for the development of a well-rounded program Why, because the officers of hear again is: "In the first place it was the plain the home office have the experience, duty of our officers to seek to balance the time, the help and the opportunity

to efficiently carry out this work which, in turn, makes it considerably easier for the part-time officer who is just a member with his own work to do cutside of the society.

If a well-rounded program, therefore, is planned, prepared and presented to the part-time officer, experience has, proven that he is willing and in most cases able to put it successfully into motion.

Experience has taught us, too, that if the officers of home office are interested the field force is interested.

Let us digress a moment and speak of field workers.

Ready-Made Center of Influence Generally speaking, the field department of any organization Is faced with the problem of endeavoring to teach its fieldmen the art of prospecting. Many can sell but few can prospect and you know, as I do, that volumes and volumes have been written by educational insurance publications on "Centers of Influence" and how to develop them.

Here, in our fraternal system, we have a ready-made "center of influence" which, unfortunately and all-too-frequently, is discarded and viewed with suspicion but which, I am confident, our commercial rivals would give millions of dollars to have at their command.

I am speaking, of course, of our local lodge activities and meetings.

With a well-rounded program, hundreds of members are gathered together providing the field worker with the opportunity to mingle with them and to impress on them that he is ready, willing and able to assist them in their insurance program. At the same time, an esprit de corps is developed with the idea of growth of the local branch behind it..

The only war the fraternal system can grow is through new members and if our members are happy, satisfied and enjoying themselves, it of course is natural for them to tell their friends, neighbors and families of the happy social evenings they are privileged to attend because of their insurance protection Our field workers, by conscientiously adopting this system in the proper manner, will have "centers of influence" that never run out but will constantly broaden as the ripples of a pool do after a pebble has pierced its surface. If, however, they overlook and neglect to use this system, they are missing an opportunity that is peculiarly endowed to our own great fraternal system.

Once a field worker is sold on this approach, his worries will vanish, his

Strana 20

success will be certain and, of necessity, will reflect itself in the growth of the society. In my own society, as an example, the use of this system has secured the majority of our leads and, with pardonable pride, I believe I can say that our organization—The Independent Order of Foresters—is growing as fast as any *.then With some degree of authority, therefore, I believe you must sell your field workers on the absolute necessity of adopting this system; encourage him to give leadership in lodge activities but instruct him at the same time not to take charge but only guide from behind the scenes the officers, committees and members of the local branch who are responsible for the meeting.

Have you ever considered the importance of committees? I assure you that they are important because the more committees you have, the more active members you will have and your attendance will be greater. It is only natural that the members of such committees will want their families and friends see them in action and gain some recognition.

Problem of Melting Places So much for the background of fraternal activities; now let , us consider meeting places.

Undoubtedly, many of you have found that the halls used for our meetings in the various communities have deteriorated; they have become dirty, barny places usually furnished with uncomfortable seats with little or no plaster on on the walls. It is understandable, therefore, that people with modern, comfortable homes and able to visit places of the entertainment world, are not agreeable or inclined to attend a meeting when it is held in a hall such as I have described.

Then, tico,, we must not overlook the feelings of a new mernber. No new Member who attends his first meeting to be initiated is going to return unless some attempt is made to make him feel at home, to introduce him to his fellow members and particularly to the older members. He will not &turn either if, after he has been initiated, the balance of the evening is spent in haranguing over the payment of accounts and other small matters. This will definitely drive a member away unless he feels 'articulate and would like to hear himself make a speech.

My society has recognised these difficulties and has adopted the following methods to combat this ever-occuring lack of interest on the part of new members after being subjected to an evening as outlined:

V it T N K — WEST, TEXAS

Hotel Ballroom Secured When it has been impossible to secure a proper meeting place—one that is modern and clean—we attempt (and so far our efforts have been successful) to secure and rent the ballroom of one of the leading hotels in the community in which a mass initiation is held felfr_wed by a dance. Of course, these meetings are not held monthly but a meeting is held monthly comprised of the officers of the court known as the executive committee. At these monthly exoeutive committee meetings which are open to all members who wish to attend, the business of the court is conducted, bills Are paid and minutes read thus making is possible to hold, as I have mentioned, every three months an initiation meeting followed by a dance uninterrupted by the business routine of the court.

At these quarterly meetings, the initiation ceremony is performed with the greatest solemnity and it has been found successful to have it in the form of a candlelight service with the initiating officers in evening dresS. To make certain that the officers know their parts; we insist that they be memorized but in cases where it is difficult for an officer to do this, the charges of our ritual have been printed on scrolls. This has proven to be effective arid dramatic because the officers appear to render their parts with the impressive sincerity when reading the scrolls.

To obviate any delay caused by a toobong initiatory ceremony and to permit the dance to start (incidentally, a dance seems to be the most popular aftermath after an initiation) we revised our ritualistic work. We now have two initiatory ceremonies; a short-form one requiring about fifteen minutes and a long-form ceremony which usually takes better than forty-five minutes. I might add that the short-form ceremony is gaining constant popularity.

Public Initiations Held In the short-form ceremony we have deliberately deleted all signs, grips, paswords and so forth so that the meetings may be held as public initiations permitting initiates and members to invite their friends. Naturally, the attendance is larger and interest is aroused among others who , are potential prospects.

In cities where accornodation so provides, we have adopted still a further method which is being carried out successfully throughout California. Where possible, three meeting halls are engaged in the same building for the same night. In the largest hall is held the initiation ceremony (again a candlelight

Wednesday, November 10, 1954 service fpllowed by a aance); in the second hall (usually smaller) we have a committee composed of ladies to act as baby sitters perthitting the younger married folk to bring their babies in buggies and leave them in the room in charge of baby sitters; and in the third meeting hall we place those children who are old enough to stay up but whc do not require a baby sitter; they dc need, however, entertainment and they are shown 16 mm. sound films, usually a feature and several cartoons.

This has proven to be a great success.

Parents are able to attend our meetings without worrying about the baby-sitter problem and are close enough to their children to know they can be reached if needed.

During the evening, of course, refreshments are served—ooffee and cake, or something similar—which serve as 'a great social stimulus.

Naturally, meetings of this nature cost money. They are worth it, however, because these quarterly meetings definitely keep the members together and the business of the court is not in any way neglected because of the regular monthly executive committee meetings at which any member is entitled to be present .

Night Clubs Rented For our third method, we have initiated a p pogram known as "We Meet to Eat." It is strange but fraternalists always like to eat. In many places this "We Meet to Eat" program has, been highly successful, Any town or city of any size has a night club or supper clubs and invariabl y these clubs have during the week an "off" night (generally Monday or Wednesday) when it is. more profitable to close than remain open. Our experi-. ence is that the proprietors of these clubs are more than willing to let us have the entire use of these clubs on one of these off nights and we have found , in turn, that our members are willing to pay part or all of the cost of the dinner to attend such a club. The floor show is dispensed with; we hold our initiation ceremony; close the meeting and then enjoy dinner and dancing.

These meetings are not only successful but popula,r because , as you will appreciate, many folks do not have the opportunity to visit a night club —they are expensive—and in this way they are provided with an enjoyable evening with friends with little cost to themselves.

Home Office Leadership Our fourth Method is new and one which we hone to successfully put into practice in the fall of this year; it al-

so deals with my original theme—leadership from the home office.

The Independent Order of Foresters has developed a program to assist the chairmen of the entertainment committees of our local lodges and it is our intention to send to each chairman several months in advance a program suitable for each month.

As an example, for the month of Febru ary , a Valentine's Dance will be suggested or some form of patriotic meeting honoring the birthday of Lincoln or Washington. On the card provided for this purpose, the chairman will then inform us of the type of meeting his court would like to have together with the number he expects to have in attendance. On receipt of this card at the head office, an agenda of things to be discussed with his committee prior to the meeting will be sent to the chairman, together with favors and arrangements for the actual meeting.

If a patriotic theme is chosen, we will prepare and send to him all the necessary facts needed should he wish to make a speech. It is our feeling that the officers of home office have the experience, the time and the material at their disposal to undertake this work and we know the chairmen will do a good job if provided with the necessary tools.

It is our intention to also request each chairman to submit a brief report of his meeting.

This is a new idea; it is impossible to tell you of its success but I feel confident that the leadership and assistance so provided by home office will be of untold value in helping to create interest in the local meetings and thus maintain that "center .of influence" so necessary an vital for the advancement and growth of our society.

POLKA DANCE CALENDAR

Meetings the Greatest Asset In conclusion, I can only say that if the laws—and the fraternal codes of the states I know of insist that we hold meetings and induct our members into membership by a ritualistic ceremony— then it is our duty, legally and as f raternalists, to not only hold meetings but make them worthwhile and interesting. Our meetings are the greatest asset the fraternal system has such meetings mean that our members meet together, build-up enthusiasm, produce good public relations and provide for good community welfare—in other words, our fraternal system through its local meetings is making good citizens—Reprinted from the FRATERNAL AGE. )• •( Success often consists of getting up just once more time than you fall.

Many fraternal societies are capturing this market of Youth for their societies.

The market is good and it will get better as child insurance creates an important income in the fraternal system."

With all these "warning signs" around us, will our own leadership recognize the importance of our Youth Movement in our SPJST Society and by supporting and promoting it sincerely capture the benefits of juvenile insurance assuring at the same time a prosperous future of our on organization?

DOPISY A NAHLEDY CLENU Orchard, Texas , Ted' vas, sestry a bratti, upozortiuji, jestli mezi sebou budou mit nejake, neabyste uvalovali o torn, zdali by nebylo

Sestry a bratki: Timto y am davam vedet, ze jsem jeke na to zemske planete a bedlive ye Vestniku sleduji, co vkchni &late.

Na prvnim miste pronadim nesouhlas s praci bratra J. V. Havlika, dlena tadu Oulak Oslo 165 v Moulton. Tento bratr y e svem dopisu ze dne 15. zati na stranee 6. dOporueuje abychom v nadich kad•vYch schtizich pfestali Upine nadim matetskYm jazykem Neupiram nikomu a nikde to prava, aby se vyjadril, jak citi, ale bratr Havlik Upine pfehlednul dlanek 2 v nadich stanovach, kde ztetelne stoji,ze mame peeovati o zachovani deskeho jazyka v teto zemi.

Dale zminenY bratr doporueuje, aby obrazy vdech pokrokovYch multi byly straneny z nadich taclovYch mistnosti.

Mam to test bYti elenem tadu, jeho2 zakladatele dali do dtitu kadu jmeno mute, ktereho na g spolkovY bratr od tadu Culak nerespektuje. Marne venku na budove napsano ftAD KAREL JONAS OSLO 28, a vevnitt mame obraz onoho mute, jehcz jmeno na g tad nese. Nic nam to nedkodi. Nevim to ptesne, ale mohu fici, 'ze nad tad 'Oita 600 deems. Jestli jsme tento podet neptekroeili, mno, ho nam nechybi.

Ze jsme snadenlivi, diikazem toho jest, 2e v east-bernardske osade mame pouze jeden SPJST tad, kdeko zminenk pisatel se chlubi, k v Moulton maji tti rady.

Dale pie nad spolubratr z Moulton, jestli tyto napravy Hlavni itkadovna dle j eho, nahledu neprovede, on s tim ptijde do ptidtiho sjezdu. To ovdem je spravnY a . jedinY zpasob, jak zlepdeni a zmeny se mohou provklet, ale musime vyekat, aX jak v tomto smyslu nove alanky do stanov budou poclany a s jakYrn naddenim budou cd delegatil schvaleny.

Ve Vestniku ze dne 27. tijna scleluje /lam bratr L. 0. Hodek, tajemnik tfetiho distriktu, ze schtize Hlavni ittadovny jsou tajne. Jak to? Vadyt' heslo v nadi Jednote bylo davno zrudeno.

Nekteki jsem jednim a nichby radi yeah, prod Jednota plati ye sve budove z mistnosti ureenYch pro praci Ukednikti $400.00 mesiene. Tak ba bylo odhlasovano ye schtizi v lednu a oznameno ye Vestniku 3. imora 1954. Ale hned o nee° dale stoji v torn samem disle, ze Utedni pozvani bylo ptedlokno redaktoru Valeikovi, ze kdykoliv by uznal Za vYhodne pro ,sve.-..•u dinnost ptesiclliti se do Usttedi, bude mu poskytnuta kancelat4ka mistnost bezplatne. Nezda se vam to komicke?

pro Jednotu prospedne, kdyby v pkidtim sjezdu byly povinnosti Tiskoveho vYboru pozmeneny, a site tak, jak to bylo pied east-bernardskYm sjezdem, aby pouze rozhodoval o dopisech zavadneho obsahu, kdyX bratr redaktor takovY dopis Tiskovemu vYbortt k posouzeni zadle. Ty jive povinnosti mute velmi dobke a mnohem lacineji vytizovat sbor teditehl. Sestry a bratti, kouknete se do Vestniku ze dne 10. imora 1954 na stranku 16. Tarn najdete ve vyclpi za schtizi Tiskoveho vYboru $237.15. Ted' zase mel TiskovY vybor mimotadnou schtizi. Kolik to stala, to jedte nevim. Budu velmi povdeeny tomu, vam bratki a sestry, kdy2 mi vysvetlite, jak uktek Jednota co celek za ty penize - ma. To by rad veal John Gaj evskY. s „I, Dallas, Texas Mile sestry a bratti: Ceti jsem s nespokojenosti kritiku nadich hlavnich iikednikti od bratra L. 0.

Hodka, ze po pteeteni protokolu Hlavni Ukadovny a minule schtize nas vdechny ptitomne po2adali, abychom se cdstranili z jejich zvladtni •schtize, kterou meli s Tiskovym vYborem.

Znam bratra Hodka jiX mnoho let a vaXim si jeho bratrskeho ptatelstvi. Ale kdyby bratr Hoek uvaXoval jedte dele, a jak se zminil ve Vestniku, ne2 napsal to posuzovani hlavnich Ukednikti, jsem jisty, ze by to nebyl uvetejnil.

Kdyby bratki Hoek a Pokladnik podkali a tak rychle po obecle z Temple necdjeli, ale ptidli do odpoledni schtize, tak by byli oba sr‘deand a bratrsky pitati a vyslechnuti, tak jako nad stavebni vYbor byl pkijat a vyslechnut, a mohli oba se zileastnit tact schtize i na druhY den.

Jsem jistY, 0- by je XadnY nevypovedel.

Jsem jistY, sestry a broth, ze chcete vedet pravdu a vdechny okolnosti, prod hlavni ntadovna nechtela miti Xadnou osobu ptitomnou v teto schtlzi s TiskovYm vYborern. Hlavni iitadovna si pozvala TiskovY vYbor do jeji dtvrtletni ze, aby vyslechla a poadala od Tiskoveho vYboru vysvetleni, prod a a jakeho dtivodu nebyly nektere a jiste dopisy poslane jednim hlavnim ittednikem bratru redaktorovi, aby byly uvetejnene ye Vestniku, ale byly celYm TiskovYm vYborem za.mitnute.

Zde byla velice choulostiva situate.

Nevedelo se, co v teto schtizi stone, kdy2 na jedne strand byla Geld Hlavni Utadovna a na druhe strand celY Tiskovy vYbor. Hlavni ittednici povalovali tu'to schitzi jako nejakou rodinnou vec, a

dorozumeni, aby to ztistalo mezi nirhi a nevyko to na vetejnost, tak jak to nektere rodiny delaji.

Jsem jistY, ze Hlavni Utadovna pieta celou nadi bratrskou Jednotu na Si ddi a proto nechtela mit Xadneho ptitomneho v teto schtizi. Prot(); sestry a bratti, po dlouhem uvalovani nemam hlavnim Utedniktim nic za zle, de mne do teto schtize nechteli pkipustit. Ze zaeatku jsem byl toho sameho nahledu jak bratr Hodek, ale uznal jsern, ze takove neptijemne zlomky, ktere hlavni Ukednici si chteji nechat mezi sebou, jsou dobre pro celou nadi bratrskou Jednotu.

S bratrskYm pozdravem vas Hugo Schefeak • 4, ♦ Caldwell, Texas.

Ctend redakce Vestniku: Stale mne moji ptatele a znami vybik bych zase psala, bych se nehnevala, nektere tadky v mem dopisu byly pteti0.7 zeny, de vdak redaktor pekne vysvetlil, jak se /lady takova chyba stane. VOW,. ja se ji2 davno nehnevam. Minila "jsent: psati hned po distriktni schtizi v Novem rabote, chtela jsem tochu popsati beh one schtize, ale sama jsem si 2acInkt,. poznamky nedelala a dtive neki jsem dostala program, redaktor Val0k v.:SO' ne popsal, tak jsem to nechtela opakoVati. Pozdeji me pinici per° opine vypoveclelo sluXbu, tak jsem psani zase odlokla.

Dnes jsem dostala nove pinici pero a davam se do psani.

Byla jsem nerada, de program v to disstriktni schtizi byl mot dlouhy, tak ZeDetli byl das projednati vde, co bylo se tam projedna. Myslim, ze v distriktnich schtizich by mel bYt program vidy kratkY, ne deldi jak hodinu, by bylo vice dasu jednati pro dobro Jednoty.

Ted se mne zda, Ze by vAichni iffednfei Hlavni uradovny, co jsou pritomni, ani vMchni idednici rfiznSrch distriktu, kteri jsou pritomni, nemuseli promluviti, mohh by se mezi sebou ujednati, o eem jeden z nich promluviti a pak jeden pro-16. mluviti za v:Sechny. V'Sak kdyZ jich tolik mluvi, stejne skoro vgichn.i povidaji no a to same, aX se pak ti co mluvi sledu vymlouvaji, Ze ti peed nimi rekli vge, co oni men v umyslu kid a Ze nevi, co by rekli. Ale pak stejne nekolik minut mluvi, tak de se podarebne Watt hodne e'asu.

My jsme se ani nemohli zdr'Xeti do ce programu. Svezli jsme se do one seh'u-1 ze s nakmi dobrSr mi ptateli Jindtich Befeikoidmi a kdyZ jiZ byl skoro veder, on' spechali domil k poklidu, tak jsme odjelir &ly e neX byl program ukonden. ManX

Strum 1dm Sefeikovym viele dekujeme za svezeni. Byla jsem zklamana, ae v one schazi nejednalo se nic o atulne, tieba bylo ae se o ni jednati bude.

Sestra Valeikova ye Vestniku Oslo 36 psala, ae se ji nezda spra yne jia ode dneg -kadrteby,zdalimenas tulna stavit, jakd a kde, jeji velikost a kolik bude stet, a tak dale. Ja zase my-7 slim, ae by se melo v ge u domacich radii projednati v ptigtich etvrtletnich 'schazich, neb do etvrtletnich schazi vady piijde vice elena jak jindy. Vlastne kaaCY tad by mel ye Vestniku oznamiti, ae ye dtvrtletni schazi se bude voliti, zdali si diem onoho tadu pfeji, by se atulna stavila, neb ne, tak aby se co nejvice elena do schaze dostavilo a volilo. Tak by se ukdzalo ptani v gech Mena a nejen nekollka Mena neb nejakeho vYboru. Pak ye sjezdu by se nemusel ztraceti draN1, eas jednanim o atulne, kdya by se jia ama vedelo, co si va gina radii pfeje.

Dale, sestra Valeikova psala, ae jsem psala, ae jsem nekde videla v takov3'Tch domevech male svetniely bez sanitniho opatteni. Psala jsem, ae jsem se nikdy nebyla podivati do addne•atulny. Vim o domovech pro stare lidi jen to, co jsem slyseta. od sid.ch ptatel, kteti se tam podivati byli.

Dodetli jsme se ye Vestniku, ae atedniei atulny v Hillje odhaduji, ae to bude std•i kaadou osobu, ktera bude chtit do to fdulny jiti, 100 dolara mesione. Nevim, prod by eleni KJT men platiti sto dolara rnesiene za stravu a svetnici. 6i snad bude ta Jednota chtit, aby ti statierci a statenky tu atulnu zaplatili? Piece dasto vidim V Houston Chronicle, kde nabizi peknou svetnici a dobrou stravu za $12.50 tYdne; to by trefilo nee° vice jak padesat dolara mesiene. Proto by to kaademu tomu statiekovi pti glo mnohem lacinej gi pronajmouti si svetnici se stravou v nekterem privatnim dome nea jiti do Utulny. Piece i tam, kde daji clobrou stravu a ,svetnici za $12.50 tS7dne, maji *Srcielek na tech stravnicich. Tak prod by eleni museli atulne platiti skoro o polovicku vice jak by platili za stravu a svetnici v privatnich domech? Zvla gte kdya stall lide ani mod nesni. Kdyby se muse10 platiti sto dolart mesiene, bylo by velmi malo tech 'Mena, kteti by si mohli dovoliti do atulny jiti.

Nedavno jsem mela, v jedne schtizi deba•u s nekolika dleny o atulne. Jeden '.Men tekl: "Ja, neali, bych mel platiti ‘,50.00 neb gedesat dolara mesidne atulne, radeji bych si postavil domek na dvote sySTch deti a ail bych tam." Ono poked jsme dosti silni, ae si mtaeme domacnost obstardvat, je nejlepe bSrti doma. Ale znaine• dosti lidi, ae jegte nejsou v posteli, mohou po dome pfechazeti, ale nemaji dost sily, aby si mohli jidlo uvatiti a drzeti distou; tak pro takove

VASTNfEt — WEST, TEXAS 11 by atulna byla zrovna spa.sott. A pak vg eci mame radi spoleenost; a kdya jia neni sily, by si ta statenka mohla nekam vyjiti, je ji velmi smutno sedeti cele dny v malem domku. V fitulne by mela, spoleenost statenek sveho staid, bylo by ji veseleji a byla by St'astna i ve staid svem.

Ne, neni moc brzy zadit ted' o atulne neb Moudkovem dome debatovati. Neb kdyby si eleni myslili, ae budou muset platit sto dolaru mesiene, Jestli budou chtiti do fitulny jiti, tak by pro atulnu aadnY nevolil. Proto by se melo co nejdfiye vynajiti, mnoho-li asi by to stalo tulnu vydraovati a podle toho by se poznalo, kolik by asi musel kaadY Men platiti. Nemyslip, ae atulna by muselo mit svoji vlastni nemocnici. Bylo by lacinejgi postaviti atulnu bliae mesta, kde je nekolik dobrYch lekata, a kdya by nekdo onemocnel, lekate zavolati. Stala o gettovatelka by tea nemusela bSrti. Vgak kdya mame ty stare lidi ve svem dome, take oSettovatelka pti nick stale nesedi. Zavola se jen, kdya je ji nevyhnutelnd potteba. A kdya by nekdo musel mit stalau ogettovatelku, musel by si ji sam platiti, ygak kdya mame o gettovatelku ve svem dome, aadnY nam nepomaha ji vydraovati, musime si ji vydraovati sami.

Oetla jsem, ae v Houstonu budou stavit novou nemocnici, ktera bude stati $15,600,000 a StrYeek Sam na ni povolil $1,500,000. Pak v Brenham si postavili no-y ou nemocnici, ktera stala $600,000 a vlada na ni povolila $300,000, tedy celou polovieku, co ta nemocnice stala. Tak si myslim, ae kdyby hlavni ntednici poaadali, by nam vlada pomohla atulnu postaviti, ae byclaorn pomoc dostali, neb domov pro stare lidi Ina ten samST teel jako nemocnice. Lidi, co jsou tam, jia nejsou apine zdravi, musi se nekdo o ne starati.

Je fitulny zrovna tak potteba, jako nemocnice. Ale zda se, ae hlavni atednici se inoc o atulnu nezajimaji. A obyeejn* . glen by o pomoc nemohl aadati, neb jeho slovo by nemela addnY vliv na vladu, to by museli fiteclnici Hlavni fdadovny udelati. Kdya ted' lekati tikaji, ae je mnoho starYch lidi, o ktere se nikdo nechce starati, ae vlada bude muset postaviti domovy pro takove lidi, jsem jista, de bychom pomoc dostali, kdyby Hlavni atadovna o pomoc poaddala.

Ve Vestniku eislo 39 mel peknSr dopis spolubratr J. F. Sefdik. Souhlasim v Varni, ae dim vice tedmi ti mladi lide dovedou mluviti, ae tim lepe pro ne. Zato, co umime, se nikdy nemusime stydeti, ale mame se stydeti za to, co neumime, neb chceme zapomenouti to, co jsme se v stvi naudili.

l'e je tam deske jednani, neveilm. Vime, le i tam, kde si anglicke jednani zavedli, mladel nechce iltady pkijati. Proc? Proto 2e nynej g mladei nechce na sebe vziti ladnou zodpovednost. Nestofi o to dest bYti Utednikem. Moc se zajima o dobre easy, a kdyby vzala neja,kY wad, musela by jit do schtze misto na "piknik" neb na nejakou "party", anebo jet na projild'ku. Sestra Valeikova psala, le u nich mladeZ sebere Ulohy v deskena divadle a 2e je pane sehraje, ale do spolkove schdze neptijdou. Kdyl mohou hrati eeska divadla, tak jiste deskemu jednani rozumi, a piece tam nejdou. Tak se nemusi s tim anglickYm jednanim tak spechati, spike se snaliti udelati schtize zajimave, aby mladd radeji 'g a, do scinize jak na nejakou jinou zabavu.

Dale, br. Havlik psal, ze v nekterS7ch sinich mail na stenach povegene obrazy svobodatt jako Zdrabek, Jona& Mica a Ingersoll, ktere tam ted' • nepatti. Ponevad2 mtij dobry otec byl te2 svobodat, a nebylo nikdy a nikdy nebude lepgho a spravedlivej gho eloveka, jak byl mtlj otec, protole neni motno lep gin bYti, zda se mne, 'le bych nebyla hodnou dcerou, kdybych se svobodatti nezastala. Tieba muj otec byl svobodat, on ill a jednal s podle Kristova ueeni. Casto fikaval, "Co nechcd, aby jini &nth tobe, neeiti ty jim", a "Miluj sveho blitniho jako sebe. sameho". On sve bliZni miloval jako sam sebe, nebo je gte trochu vice. Prave proto, le sve blilni tolik miloval, ztratil mnoho penez ye svem obchodu. Jednou k nemu ptiSla vdova s nekolika detmi. Plakala a pravila, ze ji nikdo nechce dati na aver, a le jestli ji otec neaver neda, Z'e bude muset zahynouti hladem i se svYmi detmi.

DobrST otec ji ovLerri nemohl pomoc odeptiti, kdy2 slibovala, ze se se svSrmi detmi dobte pkidini a 2e jak sebere tirodu, v'techen sv(ij dluh spravne , zaplati. A •tala si pozaplatila. Otec ji daval na aver, rnohla a pak mohla platiti hotovYmi. A bylo vice tech lidi, ktertn otec tak pomohl. Ale ekoda, ze jich bylo je gte vice, co o Aver prosili a slibovali, ale jak fiver dostali, tak neplatil; vtdy Mei nejakou v5imluvu, proe nemoluiu platiti. Stale placeni odkladali, al pak otci velke penize dluZili a nikdy nezaplatili. Otec tou velkou laskou k blanimu ztratil sect tisic dolaril. A v ten Cas to byly velke penize.

Otec tikal, 2e mezi Cechy ztratil velmi malt), ale mnoho ztratil mezi Ameridany a dernochy. On nemohl Aver odeptiti ani dernochum, protole i mezi nimi byli nekteti dobti a dobte platili, tak aby nateremu dobremu fiver neodiekl, radeji trpel sam. ,A bylo mnoho tak dobrSich svobodaft jaktn byl milj otec. Piajdovali penize jeden druhemu bez not, jen na reestnSi slib, a kaidY svuj dluh spravne zaplatil.

Ted' se musi dati nota a j eater dluh se nezaplati. Ti svobodati Will, le chceme-li

se do nebe dostati, ae musime aiti tak, abychom si to nebe zasloulili; proto ladne hfichy nepachali. Tak si myslim, ae Fr. Zdrabek i Karel Jonas` si zaslou g, by je lido ctili, jig za to ae sepsali Anglickodeske a tesko-anglieke slovniky. MoZna ze i bratr Havlik nebo jeho rodiee se z tech slovnikti udinili anglickou tee. Zda se, ae mnozi lide nevi, co slovo svobodalznamend. Mysli Si, le svobodaf je to same coneverec, ale je velkY rozdil mezi svobodatem a nevercem. Svobodat mysli svobodne, sarnostatne. Veti v Kristovo ueeni a podle neho se iidi. Kdato neverec • neveti v Krista ani v Boha.

Pro dneaek dpst, stejne jsem toho moc napsala.

Andel se uklonil.

"Kdyl nebude obteZovat — ostatne — rad bych si se sleenou trochu popovidal."

Pani spracova si tedy vzala pla gt' a klobouk, do prveho ji Andel galantne pomohl a gla s Jenikem.

"Na shledanou, pane spravee!"

"S Bohem, mati, vedeti pi'ipravim."

Osameli.

Olga pina bolestneho a piece ptijemneho nepokoje gla za matkou do ptedsine a hned se vratila. Pte gla pokojem k oknu a pak se vratila ku stolu.

"Budeme trochu vzpominat na davna leta nejkrasnej gi nagi mladosti," povidal Andel, jako by to pattilo je gte odchazejici pani.

Olga si pohravala stfibrnYmi kle gtiekarni, je2 lezely na stole od svadiny a nervosne se pousmala: "To ul je velmi davno a pochybuji, ‘le se pamatujete na ty rtizne a ptijemne podrobnosti. Muzi nechovaji takove maliekosti v pameti."

"A motine, le se mYlite, sleeno Olgo.

A jednou zase jste mela krasne bile gaty s vysokYm volanem a v pase eernou stuhu. Vilbec kontrast Berne a bile barvy se velmi easto opakoval ye vagem obledeni.

Ten jsem nosil dlouho v naprsnim pouzdte, ale pak mi kdosi povidal, se jste se vdala a tak jsem se dopalil a jetYlek jsem vyhodil."

Olga se kteeovite zasmala. Musela se tak zasmat, aby zakryla sve pohnuti.

"A zatim to nebylo pravdou. Jak vidite, jsem stale svobodna. Ale povidejte mi o sobe. Tak easto jsem toulila, zvedet o vas alespon to nejmen gi. Jak s varni na-

Hledeli na sebe a hledali navzajem tehdelgi podobu. Ne, Olga se mnoho nezmenila! Byla jegte krasna — ne byla snad krasnej gi! Mela odugevnele tahy — smutek, zmenenY v resignaci ji einil moudrou.

Andel se zmenil vice. Z nesmeleho snilka, z hubeneho a bledeho mladence tu seal statnY mul" — etyticatnik v nejlepgim veku.

Byl silnY s nabehem k tboustnuti — tvrdy, mulnY tY1 a mime zarillovely , nos.

Vlasy mu mostly do zalivii nad Belem a na temeni mu tmavYmi vlasy probleskovala rOZova, plet'.

Tenkrat pied lety nosil fe gacky knirek se Spiekant kroucenYmi vzhtirti, dnes byl hladce oholen, 'elmt mel i jinou podobu.

A piece to byl ten Andel, ktereho Olga tolik milcvala. Poznala jeho hlas, ktery ji byl kdysi tak drahY. "Ja jsem nieeho neslevil," pravil, hlede patrave na Olgu "a kdy2 jsem nemohl dosahnouti toho, po dem jsem tedy jsem nechtel nieeho. Jsem svobodnY a sam na svete."

"Sam?" hlesla Olga a hrdlo se ji sta.hlo. TeplY ramenec ji vyvstal na eel°.

"Ano, sam. tpine sam na svete, rodide mne zemi-eli a sourozencti jsem nemel."

"To — to je hodne smutne," geptala Olga, nebot' nevedela co rici. Jeji ptekvapeni a tu geni bylo ptilig krasne.

"Vy nejste Lice sama, sleeno Olgo, ale jste svobodna! Prod jste tak ztistala se neptam, snad jsem mel take na torn kousek viny --tak me napadlo, le bychom se mohli domluviti.

Spravce Andel' ptiFedl blil a vztahl k Olze ruku.

"Sla byste tarn se mnou OluSko? MoZna, Ze bychom tam nekde v panske zahrade, nebo na jeteliSti za zahradou naali ztracene Stesti?"

Olze se napinily odi slzami.

Vlozila svou jemnou pravici do jeho a povidala: "81a bych. A 'Ma velice rada.

Jiste bychom tam nalezli tu starou a krasnou lasku". On vzal jeji ruku do svYch a vrouche ji polibil.. . * * Pani spravccva Raboehova se toho dne modlila jeSte vrotteneji, neZ, obvykle.

A co je livot jineho, nea zlovestne hlu"did les a rozboutene mote? Kdo takoye boute prodelal, pravidelne se urni modlit.

A mimo to pani Rabochove, mela dnes dobre tirgeni a tak prosila Pannu Mardi o ptimluvu, aby to nadeje co v ni vznikla, nebyla klamna.

Jenik ji stal po levici a zpival zvudn'm vysokYm, jakoby lenskym hlasem: "Ty ItslySiS a vyslySiS jeho prosby zajiste."

Dornit ala s nejakS7m strachem, ale jakmile uvidela zatici eel° Olgy a jeji oci zanicene jako hvezdy, a rozpalene lice Andelovy, hned poznala, le se nemusi bati. Jeji tak nahle vze gla nadeje, jako hvezda na vedernim nebi, ji nemela oklamat.

KdyZ vstoupila do pokoje, tak ji to polibilo jako vine za gleho gtesti. Tenkrat, kdyl byly obe dcery dOma a obe byly zamilovane.

Buh vi, co jim to tenkrat s tatinkern napadlo, ae Olze branili v jeji lasce, vadyt' ten Andel je tak pevnY charakter!

Ach, opravdu, je to charakter! je Laskave se usmivala a pravila, uz pozde a dlUlno chystat vedeti.

Olga vstala a upravujic si trochu viasy, pravila, ae je gte nieeho nedelala.

"Vldyt' je eas. Studena vedete bude hned hotova."

Jenik se dival zvedave na ciziho pana.

Sleena Olga mu take pti gla jinou nel oby`dejne. Mela na tvalich rnm6nee, jak' jindy nemivala.

Kdyby byl Jenda deveetem, jiste by tomit porozumel, ale ho gi jsou v torn yeku a v torn ohledu Upine nechapavi.

Pani spravcova v gak pochopila hned a jeji matetske srdce se tak zaradevalo, al se ji delala pied odima kola.

Pravila Olze, at' posedi s panem cem,ze ona sama pripravi veeeti. A gla do spike a dim jindy opatrne gettila, to vynesla a chystala oblo2enou misu s nejvetSi peel.

Na samovaru vatila vajidka, col nikdy neeinila, bylo-li k vedeti studene SO.

A nadala take nalo2ene, sladkokysele okurereky a zavatene houby.

V torn ohledu byla znamenitou kuchakkou a jak okra glila misu, to bylo ku pcdivu. Ba, sla tak daleko, le ptinesla maslo, ktere melo. Wit zitra na omagteUi nudli a mazala jim tenke krajielty.

Andel pak s nimi vedetel a mluVil s Jeniekem, kterY se zadinal ohanet nolem a vidliekou a vaelicos se ho vypta-

BeZel pak se abanem a byl rad, Ze ten cizi pan prijel, Ze meli tak''clobrou veeeri a ted' jeSte pivo, KdyZ se vratil, sedela sleena u pima hrala Beethovena. On uZ to znal a okamZite zapomnel na pivo. Sedl si na ;-.1olieku a poslouchal, Potom ho take prinutili, aby zpival a pen ho velmi chvalli a povzbuzoval, aby se jen ucil, Ze to mute se s yYm hlasem p •ivesti hodne daleko.

Potom se ji2 chtelo Jendovi spat; 0'51 70vorile , clobr.ou nod a odeSel do sveho pokojika, kterY sdilel s Rudou.

KdyZ zavrel Jenda za sebou dvere, nechala Olga hry a pravila, s jemnYm risrnevem, pina radostne netrpelivosti.
