Asi ie se stava.ji takove ptipady dosfi easto: Olen pteete cely Vestnik a pak ho stranou s poznamkou, ze "tento krat ten papir nestoji za nic", nebo "tento tYden nerd v nem nic zajimaveho". MfiZe to bYti zavineno nekolika, nahodilyrni okolnostmi. Na prvnim mists zaleli na chvilkove nalade etenate. e'en na neeern zejem, zahledi se i na suche eislice, no, zpravy z lalavni fitadovny, na vYka.zy pkijrnil a vydani, nebo na Porevnani, kolik u ktereno tadu ptibyto novYch. elent. Nekdy elena za.jima take to, pros resolute soustrasti je podepsoma ptedsedou, mistoptedsedou a tajemnikem tadu, a pta se v duchu, proe u nektereho tadu je v gechno v rukou jen hrstky Mewl. I to je zajimave, jak se u nekterYch tadti pestuje nezajern.

Jindy je tim vinen sam redaktor, ze nektere Oslo Vestniku je mene zajimave neZ jine. Snad nevenoval dosti easu tomu, aby popsal a podal neja.kou starou vec novYrn a zajimm,ym zpusobern. Originalnost, je ca,to umeni, kdy elovek dovede ustrojiti neco do noveho kabatu, aby svet byl ptekvapenY. Pod novYm gatern jsou tyteZ stare kosti, ale zmena lahodi. Redaktor nekdy zapomene pternYAlet, nebo si k tomu nevezme dosti Casu, aby starou otazku podal originalnim a nezvyklYm zpfisobem.

A zase jindy jsou tomu vinni dopisovatele a ptispivatele. K napsani eehokoliv, co je zajimave, musi bYti u pisatele ureitY vnittni tlak. Bez vnittniho rozechveni nena,pi ge nikdo nic kloudneho. To rozechveni mute bYti riizner. MuZe to byti nad geni. MfiZe to bYti radost z neeeho nebo zarmutek nad neeim. MT& to byti take velika nespokojenost, pocit dy nebo nejake jine silne pohnut mysli.' Bez vnittniho tlaku—at' ten plamenek, ohnieek nebo zar nazYvarne jakYmkoliv jrnenem—nedokele nikdo napsati ani jeden kratkY odstavec. A bez toho vnitiniho tlaku nedostanete nikoho ani do schuze, ani do shromakleni, ani do zabavy, ani do nebe.

Pkijde od nekoho dopis do Vestniku.

Redaktor ho pteete, zamysli se nad nim, uvaZuje. Prospeje takovY dopis? Redaktor uzna, ze pisatel sestavoval dopis pod ureitYm vnittnim tlakem, ze byl psan s nejlepgim Ad redaktor ma docela jine nazory a naprosto nesouhlasi s nekterYm dopisem, pfece musi bYti nestrannYrn. Musi si pomysleti: "Bratte, sestro, tekni si sve. To pravo mss, i kdybych videl a veal, ze to mss hodne latekroucene.” A to 'pravo ma kaidY Men v nagi velike rodine, i kdyby pozdeji redaktor byl kritisovin, ze takovi slova nemel

Ve Stfeclu, One 17. listopnclu 3954. redaktor ptipustiti do na geho bratrskeho listu. Redaktor nesmi nekdy chrstnouti clZber vody na plamenek nadgeni, na jakYkoliv zajem o nag. spolek. islekcly je nektere eislo Vestniku merle zajimave prave jen proto, ze nepiijdou od elenfi Zadne nove namety nebo Zajimave Avahy. Zivot je vlastne pohyb v easovYch periodach, v rytmickem vYvojovem ficlobi. Dries se zajimame o neco, zitra se myglenkove pozmenime a odboeime, pozittku se vratime k tomu, co jsme piedeveirem nedodelali. Neni to spirala, jsou to schodky. A na kahlem schodku je kratka zastavka. Kde vice lidi pmcuje za stejnYm dilem, zastavky a chvile oddechu jednotlivcit neni pozorovati.

Asi jako lcdyZ ye velikem orchestru si jednotlivY hudebnik ocidechne, ac hudba pokraeuje. Kde v gak je mai° muzikaritt, tam je tteba poeitati s kaklyrn nastrojern. A to je prave bod, na kterY chce redaktor upozornit.

Nag spolkovY easopis Vestnik s mohl by se zhruba ptirovnati ke skupine hudebae to ptirovnani neni zrovna nejlepgi. Ale pro vysvetleni staei. Na gi dopisovatele a zpravodajove jsou jako ti hudebnici v orchestru. Je ten rozdil, kaZdY si zvoli sy tij nastroj a nekdy chce hrati svou zamitovanou melodii. Redaktor je trochu jako kapelnikem, kterY se musi starat-o to, aby celY piednes byl trochu jako symfonie. Slovo symfonie znamend splynuti v gech tenfi v jeden libivY celek. JenZe na g orchestr, kterY bychom pojmenovali Vestnik, je slOenY ze samYch ochotnikfi a jen nekteti ptichazeji pravidelne. Obeas se ptihodi, ze ptijde naprosto novY hudebnik s nezvyklYin nastrojem a chce brat svou pisnieku.

V takovYch pic ipadech redaktor:-kapelnik umisti noveho selistu die sveho nejlepgiho Usudku.

Proe neni nag spolkovST organ kaideho tYdne stejne zajimavYm? Jedine proto, ze nekteti schopnej gi hudebnici nepiijdou. Misto nich dostavi se nekterY jinY, jeho2 nastroj nebo melodie nema spravne zladeni. A pravidlem je, ze ochotnik a dobrovolnik je ptiiatY a poskytnuta mu Male a pkilditost, aby svou melodii die sveho vkusu zahral. A kdy nepiijdou ti lepe cvieeni, neni dostatek libivYch tont, neni to symfonie, neni to ani bratrske, rnuzika, ktere by se mohli druzi pobavit.

Jiz nekolikrat vyvstala otazka, zda, by nebylo pro nag i SPJST lepe, kdyz by redaktor byl najmutY bud' fitedniky nebo tediteli nebo celou Hlavni fitadovnou..

Jsou dy e strany. A budou dy e strany, pokud eleni budou miti pravo rokovat a debatovat. KaZda vec ma d ye strany. kaZda, vec Jedno einske ptislovi pravi, ma strany: tvou, mou a tu pravou.

omrzi jeho redaktorska prate, ptenecha, sve povinnosti nekomu mladgimu.

Snad jsou to slova smela, ale pravdiva.

Snad nekdo jinY by se tak dobrovolne nevzdaval. Stall me, v gak jednu velikou povinnost—zapracovati mlad giho a pak ustoupit a jen davat pozor, jak si to ti rnladgi vedou.

Le6 uvaiujeme trochu vice o tom, zda nebylo by pro nag i SPJST zdravej gi, aby redaktor Vestniku byl zjednan nebo najat vedoucim telesem, toti g hlavnimi iitedniky nebo celou hlavni fitadovnou.

Nebojme se podivati se na obe strany, abychom poznali, ktera strana je licni a ktera je rubni. Pokud vYberu se tyre, mengi skupina lidi se v gdy snadneji dohodne, jakeho redaktora by si Mengi skupina, se snadneji domluvi, koho je tteba a kdo by lepe vyhovoval. To se nevztahuje pouze na redaktora, ale na ig echny fikedniky. Kde se volba provadi velikYm poetem hlasu, jako na sjezdu SPJST dvaceti tisici, vet gina hlasii neznamend pokagcle ten nejlep gi vYber. To je cesta, demokracie. Dnes to zvolime, ale do etyk . let nam ukageg, zdali jsme se nemYlili. Po etykech letech budeme volit znovu. Volba kandidatil ve sjezdu ma sve pkednosti a ten sve nevSrhody. Otazkou zustesa,, zda redaktor by nemel byti vybiran asi podobne jako aktuar. A kdyi byl by redaktor vybran a najat hlavni fitadovnou,"ptichazi mimodek na mysl, zda by nektere jine fitady—kde zruenost a dovednost jsou dtle gitej gi neg popularita—mohly te g bYti obsazeny hlavnim telesem. To jsou jen volne frvahy.

Jestli by vYber redaktora mohl byti ponechan hlavnimu telesu, budeme miti lepai vYber mezi kvalifikovanYmi kandidaty. To se neda uptit. Ale pkitom mame take mognost, ge by se najal redak-tor vyhovujici jenom tomu, kdo ho najal. Pkedstavme si nasledujici: Za osm, za dvana,ct let dne gni hlavni Ukadovna bude miti jive fikedniky. Nekteti pro stali nebo ze zdravotnich duvodu ustoupi, jini nebudou zvoleni, a nekteti za dvanact let u g budou hrati na harfy. Piedsedou bude mladY a energickY glen, panovaenY, cti gadostivY, planujici jen pro svuj vlastni zisk. Vlivem jeho bude vybran mladY redaktor, znamenitY pochlebnik, jeho g bkitke pero bude miti nalegitY respekt. Tento lichotivY redaktor bude mluveim sveho pkedstaveneho. Nebude gadne oposice. Bude se chvalit harmonie, a zatim to bude zastkena panovaenost. Nepkipusti se gadna. kritika.

Vgechno bude libive, sebechvala, jen aby se administrace udr gela v sedle. Vgechno pokvete zasluhou pochlebneho redaktora —pro nekolik vedoucich, ne v gak pro eleny, ne pro domaci lady, ne pro distrikty a celY spolek.

V't 8TNt K WEST, TmEaus Oim je chlebu sal, tim je spolkovjrm fikednikum kritika. Pkesolene jidlo nechutnd. Ale jsou-1i fitednici ve spolkovem vote nediltklivi vuci ka gcle trogce kritiky, prozrazuje to, ge neciti pod sebou pevnou pudu. Museji-li protestovati a prohlagovati, ge je jim utrhano na cti, nejsou dosti otu gilYmi pro slugbu pied zraky vekejnosti. Mohou miti v gechny potrebne kvalifikace, ale nemaji onu jistotu, ktera dodava vetejnernu pracovniku prug nost, aby se ye vichru kritiky ohtiul ale nezlomil. Hvezda hvezdu nezastini, pravda pravdu neponi gi, perla perlu nepogpini, kritika cti NeomalenYrn slovnim UtOkum a kritice je vystavena kape„ vetejna osoba. Celt' svet zna Lincolna jako zastupce demokracie.

Ale mad° lidi zna, jakYmi hanlivYmi vYrazy byl eastovan. Byl nazYvan "blbcem", "kentuckou mulou", "politickYm zbabelcem". Takove neslugne terminy pou givali nejen jeho odpurci, ale dokonce i dienove jeho vlastni strany. Ka gdY ittednik, at' domaci nebo vfge postavenSt, mel by si uvedomiti, ge jeho citova a dojmova vyspelost se mere dle toho, jak klidne dovede snageti podobnou kritiku a neomalene slovni utoky. Slova kritiky nezmenai givotni dilo jedince, naopak jsou vzpruhou k dalgim a lepgim vYkonfn.

Zda-li se nekomu, ie redaktor si dovoluje kritisovati nektere zanedbavane Atedni vYkony nebo nespravne spolkove pomery, nutno uva giti, ge je to spige sebekritika ne g co jineho. Mluvime o yeeech nam vlastnich. Jedname o yzajemne praci. Jako kapelnik upozorni, ge nektera, hudebni pasat musi mitt nalegite intervaly a tong, tak redaktor upozornuje, ge spolkova prate must miti jiste tempo a co nejmene fale gnYch ton*. Aby redaktor mel ono pra y° kritiky, must byti samostatnYm; ne ptepjatYm puntieke,rem, ne pkisnYm kantorem, ale nestrannYm a na nikom nezavislYm radcem. A chcete-li miti volnost zdrave kritiky a svobodu slova v mezich slugnosti, ponechejte i y budoucnosti, at' si eleni redaktora vyberou. Nedopust'te, aby hlavni 9tednici, kteki maji bYti vykonavateli vale Menu, zjednali si sami redaktora. TakovY redaktor by nebyl samostatnYm. Ponechejte mu tutet rovnost a svobodu, jakou ma kagdY jinY hlavni fikednik. DobrY redaktor je dule gitou hnaci silou.

Jak oznameno jii drive, naii snaiivi organisatoki ziskali ve ttech mesicich naborove soute ge 828 novYch Menu. Mane ptichazi na mysl otazka, kolik z nich bylo ptijato v domacich tadech s opravdovYm projevern bratrstvi, dtstojne, aby pro ncveho elena bylo to nav gdy hkejivou vzpominkou. Pisatel techto kadku patti k vice bratrskSIn organisacim, proto snad mu bude prominuto, ge porovnava bez kritiky. Jednou jelo nas asi deset osob

Strana 3 k hromadnemu ptijimani z Houstonu ai do Fort Worth. Mohl bych rtct slovy deskeho basnika Otakara Bkeziny. "Od jitra k veeeru gli jsme jen lakes veky kdyg jsme se brattim nejbliggi nejvic se vzdalovali." Byl jsem tenkrat Clenem one bratrske organisace ji g dobrSrch patnact let, znal jsem uvadeci obtady, a piece mne to tahlo z Houstonu at do Fort Worth. Chtel jsem bYti svedkern ptijimani novYch elenii. Mame My v nagi SPJST neco podobneho, aby skupina Clenu jela pees 250 •mil k hromadnemu uvadeni? Ovgem, nekteti na gi Cleni ted' jezdi do vzdalenYch distriktnich schuzi. Ale je velice mak) tech, kteki si to dovolI. Aby to Clen vykonal, je nutnot vekiti, ge negijeme jen pro sebe, nYbit 'ge jsme spolupracovniky a pomocniky v konani kladne a u giteene prate.

Kolik z tech 828 novYch Menu bylo do nasi SPJST uvedeno s takovYm nadgenim, abychom v nich videli budouci pracovniky? A jsou nage uvadeci obtady provadeny dustojne? oetli jste v anglicke casts minuleho eisla onen elanek o lepgi navgteve 11dovYch schilzi? Byl v elanku popis, jak se Cleni uvadeji kalde tti mesice pit liostine, cog jako malt' banket Loriskeho roku, kdyg byl v Houstonu "Den fraternalistil", jeden ze zastoupenYch bratrskYch spolku pkedvedl ukazku syYch uvadecich obtadil. Nebylo to nic nakladneho, ale pilsobilo to imposantne. AC mnohY 'Oen kekne, ge on nevidi nic zvla,gtniho v uvadecich obtadech, jsou zase jini, kteti si na podobnYch vYkonech hodne zakladaji. Dam malt' pkiklad: Ziskal jsem Clenku do kadu. Jeji mu g byl jig Clenem nekolik roku, ale do schuzi nechodil. Kdyg mela 13Srti mangelka pkijata do tadu, pti gel do schtze take mantel.

PO schuzi pkigel ke mne s oznamenim, ge on nikdy nebyl uveden do tadu ta0m 7pusobem jako jeho rn9n2elka. Pry jemu byl certifikat odevzdan mimo • ale rad by byl uvedeny jako jeho na. Bylo mu vyhoveno v nasledujiei zi.

Take nastoIovani nagich nove zvolenSTch fitednikil by se mohlo nekdy provest! s vetgi dfistojnosti. U jinYch bratrskYch spolk0 nastolovaci akt je vice jako rodinna slavnost, do nit jsou zapojeni nejen vtichni zvoleni Ukednici, ale teg cele jejich rodiny. Ka gdY iftednit si vyhradi still pro sebe a sve hosty.

Nepamatuji 8C, by bylo u natereho z na gich mistnich ta.d0 nastoleni spojeno s hostinou. Jinde se to provadi a je to vice slavnostni. Na takove nasto leni se tak lehce nezapomina.

ZPRAVYA MI LEY Z DISTRIKTU ZPRAV Z TRETIHCI DISTRIKTU S. P. J. S. T. Grapevine, Texas Sestry a bratH: Nebude gkodit, kdyZ yam vgem pied nasi distriktni schuzi je gte jednou pripomenu, Ze distrikty na ge v Jednote byly ustanovene, dle meho nazirani, proto aby obnoveno bylo bYvale nad geni v praci pro Jednotu, ktere pkina gelo nejen mile uSpokojeni v ziskavani noveho elenstva, ale nam melo oZiviti zajem o schtze dove. - Tam abychom na gli pkilditost ziskati nove rnlad gi sily k kadove praci, ktera vgech nag zdarne vYsledky nam Za Veintern, kteki radi bez pkemgleni posuzuji, bych zde slugne pripomel, pfejeme si vkly,aby , nage Hlavni fikadov= na s nami spolupracovala, povzbuzovala, dopomahala, kde jen moZno nam, tak aby schtize na ge mely zdarrV prtibeh; avgak jinak mame za to, Ze by bylo tako stanoviti lista pravidla k sledovani.

Bylo by teZko stanoviti ureitY poiad a nejaka pravidla. Nekde jest mono"odbSrti" schuzi za dve hodiny.

8tefka nad tim pokreila rameny a strYc to meli za souhlas. Hrite Jotka!

Ten, jakmile se dovedel, ze za Stefkotr chodi Greaka, chodil jako bez ducha.

Kdyt se vzpamatoval, hned se ptipravil k odporu.

Nebylo tajemstvi, ze Greeka nosi strYcovi MatriSovi obeas trochu "gotalky", a to se Jotkovi hodilo. Zavolal si Maleho Ferdu a radili sa potichu celou hodinu.

"Tak nezapomen, veoer po desatej hodine," povidal Jotka na rozchodu a odekl z dcmu zahradou, co Ferda odchazel dvetmi.

Jotka byl take dobrY ha.sie a nebylo proto nit divneho, ze otevtel dveie od hasieskeho skladiSte, a to tam cosi v koute hledal. . . Potom schoval cosi pod bluzu a vytratil se, net ho mohl nekdo uvidet.

•( )• AUTEM Z TEXAST1 DO ARKANSASITA LOUISIANY (Popisuje Jaroslav Kleprlik) (Pokrae'ovani) ;.,.

Z Dallasu do 7'exarkany je nece4ch 200 mil, dalnice US 67 velmi dobra, jalp vAude kde jsme dosud jeli. Jestli ge oltoli Dallasu svou vS7stavbou je modern, pak nedaleko za Dallasem setkali jsme .se, s misty, kde venkovska staveni naji stare easy poinaleho a klidnelio Vesnickel° tivota. OvSem yetgim dilem jsou tam farmy velmi ithledne, vybavene traktory a modernimi hospodatskYmi streji, obytne budovy jsou postaveny z kamene. Pestovani dobytka je v gude na vysokem stupni, dobytek veernes dobte

Strana 8 krmeny, nektere druhy byly prima YYstavni. Teg je pestovena hodne bavina a pkirozene nechybi nikde olejove studne, ze kterYch samoeinne pracujici eerpadla, nikyin ne,hliclana, ve dne i y nod pracne dolaYvaji drahocennou gt'avu ze zeme.

Piijeli jsme do mesteeka Rockwall (1500 obyvatel), na pekne , romantickem vagku, kde jsme videli nektere stare domy z tesa,neho dieva, velmi vkusne. Tato pekne misto bylo pojrnenovano Roekwall s ohledem na zvla gtni geologicke slo geni pudy, na ktere bylo zbudovano.

Je to nejakY yzacnY podzemni 'Aver talinouci se v raznYch hloubkach v celkove rezloze asi 4 etvereenYch m. Ukaz malo se vyskytujici a je proto piedmetem staMho studia geologu a archeologii.

Piesne za hodanu dorazili jsme . do Greenville. Vnitini "nest° ma raz stiedoveku a velkYm kontrastem je 'ana radnice, postavena ye slohu modernim.

Greenville je dine gite haspodaiske stkedisko, pologene v rirodne krajine bohate na ovoce a rtigne Eemske plodiny. Mesto je vYstavne, s peknYmi budovami a ma clobre ulice. Taverna na zpracovani bavinenello oleje, rafinerie oleje a eetne jine priimyslove podniky v miste poskytuji dobre zamestnani mistnimu obyvateleavu v poetu 14000. Meste-m Greenville prochazi dalnice US 69, vedouci z Denison do Mineoly, legici na dalnici US 80 vYchodne od Dallasu.

V Sulphur Springs, kde gije teener 9000 lid', byl oily poulieni ruck. Je to stiedisko pro zpracovani mleka a konani hospoclaiskYch trlia. V nedalekern Mount Vernonu se,1433 obyvateli pokochali jsme Se pohledem na thledne dorny s paknYmi raalYmi okrasnYmi zahradkami se zahonky s bohatYnai kvetinami v gech velikosti a bare y, Mimo eistirnu bavhay maji tarn pilu a zavod na zpracovani dieva.

Dalg i pekne male mesteeko je Mount Pleasant (6342 obyvatel) se zajimayou budovou radnice a nekolika stargimi stavbami s typickYmi yerandami. Z Mount Pleasant vede spojka US 271, a to severozapadne do mesta Paris, na jih pak do Tyleru. Proji gdime men gi mista jako Cookville, Omaha, Naples, Bassett, Simms, Corley, kde pia iece Sulphur River jsou pekoa mista pro rybaieni, a jig jsme v ()bd. Maud.se 713 obyvatel, odkud na jih odboeuje testa US 59 snaerem na Marshall. Ponevad g jsme videli nekolik povoz-a s ovocem a zeleninou, jsrne, ze je to ovacnY a zelineitek:Y raj. `;',o tornu skuteene tak je videli hnad yYjeadu z costa, kde pana pole s bramborami se stiidala s rozsahlYmi polerni se zelira a rriznou zeleninou ag do blizke osady Redwater, jig jen nekolik mil od bromic Texasu.

Pokud jsme uvideli wens' lesy, byly to 'resales stromy listnate, z nich g pievla-

daly duby a bilk arnerickY ofegak (hickory).

Za nekolik minut byli jsme v Texarkane, miste, ktere tvoti rozhrani dvou state,' Texasu a Arkansasu: Je to pane eiste mesto prilmyslove se girokYrni ulicemi s eilYm ruchern. Privoclne, jak na nekterYch pohlednicich uvedeno, byla to mesta dye, pozdeji vgak byla ipojena v mesto jedno. Dne gni Texarkana ma celkem 40.628 obyvatel, z toho 'Zije v, east' legici v Texasu 24,753, tedy pfibli gne 60 procent. Zajeli jsme si k nedra gi, abychom si prohledli velikou ustiedni budovu, karn se sji geleji vlaky nekolika geleznienich spoleenosti z mnoha smera ze ti' state (Texasia Arkansasu a Louisia,ny). Vgude bylo eisto, vzornY poiadek.

Pro zajimavost chci piipomenouti, ze hlavni tilde v Texarkane, vedouci k na dragi, je rozdelena silnou earou; zapadni Cast mesta path do Texas'', vYchodni Cast do Arkansasu. A tak jednou nohou v Texasu a druhou v Arkansasu jsme se s nagim krasnYm slunnYm Texasem, nejvetAirn statem na gi Unie a vjeli jsme do Arkansa,su. Zadna celni nebo pa soya prohlidka jako jsme tomu byli zvykli pH. cestovani v Evrope, nic takoveho. Jak je to pohodlne a krasne, ptoe by to nemohlo bYt veude tak? Az na jednom miste nas zastavili, a to, u "U.S. Cotton Control Field Station". Byla to prohlidka nakizeria ministerstvem zemedelstvi (Department of Agriculture) v zajrnu ochrany pestovani baylny, jakogto ochranne opatieni k zamezeni pienageni nakazy baviniku. Nebyla to prohlidka v pravern slova, smyslu, pouze Ustni dotaz ritednika, kterY zaroveri ka gdemu odevzdal jednostrankovY vYtisla vysyetlujici ueel provedene prohlidky.

Je.stlige jsem pochvalil dobrY sta y silnic v Texasu, nemohu tote g ueiniti o silnicich v Arkansasu. Vozovky nejsou tam tak dobie udr go-vany, Eine:Ate nektera mista nelze k silnicim v Texasu ani piirovnati. Opravena mista nejsou uhlazena ye stejne vYgi s vozovkou, nova vrstva asfaltu pievyguje plochu vice neg o 1/4 palce, co g m za nasledek prudke narazy no, kola a houpavou. jizdu. Roma' tak oznaeovani smeru a vzdalenosti do jednotliTYch mist neni venovana nale gita peee.

V Texa,su jsou p0 prave strane ye smeru jizdy v pornerne kretkYch vzdelenostech umisteny orientaeni tabulky se jrnenern dvou i vice ye smeru le gicich mist s ozna6enim pfislugne vzdalenosti. Vgechny lefigovatky maji smerove ukazatele, take op i avdu nelze zablouditi. projiedeni mestem jsou v ulicich na dobie viditel aYch mistech upevneny tabulky s eislem dalnice a gipkou uka.zujici smer dada jizdy. Netieba proto zastavovati a vyptaVati se, cog je nepiljerane a jenom zdrgu je. V Arkansasu, nevim prof, mail orientaenich a smerovYch tabulek velmi malo,

Ve sticedu, dne-17. listopadu 1954. na kfig ovatkach jsme je mnohdy velmi postredali. Nezajeli jsme v gak, bratr Holy vlastnim jakYmsi instinktem nas vgdy dovezl kam jsme chteli. V noci by to ovg em dopadlo asi trochu jinak.

Za Texarkanou ba ylnikove, pole ustoupila vicemene pastvinam, aby hovezi dobytek, ktereho jsme videli velika stada, mel dostatek na vypasani. Pekna rirodna pole, rovna jako still a neptehledna, jsou pierugovana naengimi usedlostmi az k ce Red River, ktera u Fultonu, kteregto misto ma pies 9000 obyvatel pietind nici. Na ceste do Hope stfidaji se pole se sady a velikYmi rozloharni kde se pestuji melouny. Most() Hope, ktere ma 8.605 obyvatel, je docela hezke misto, ma svoji Cistirnu baviny a jine drobne zavody.

V ulicich je givo a eetne novostavby podel krasnYch ulic svedei o dobrem givotnim standardu tamnel gich obeanri. Mezi Hope a Prescott, vzdalenem pouze nekolik minut jizdy, jsou opet po obou stranach dalnice, pane ovocne sady (broskve, hrugky, gvestky) a take se hodne pestuji melouny. Za Prescottem, neg jsme dojeli do men gilio mesta Gurdon, tahly se mengi lesy dubove i boroye, cog bylo docela pi'ijemnou zmenou pro nage oei. Samoziejme po cele testa jsou mengi farmy s ovocnYmi sady, jako v cele jihozapadni easti Arkansasu, kterou jsme projigdeli. Dalgi velmi pekne mesto je Arkandelphie, kde statni ueitelskY stay "Henderson State Teachers' College", obklopenY stromovim a zahony s kvetoucimi ra gemi, je peknou okrasou mesta.

Po kratke zastavce nastoupili jsme cestu posledniho riseku, dlouheho jen nekolik mil (tugim nem pies 30), kterY nas Mil od cile nag' tury. Jell jsme krasnYmi borovYm`i lesy, jejichg nadherna vime prosycena pryskyiici nes stale doprovazela. Netrpelive jsme vyhli geli kdy jig uvidime obrysy mesta Hot Springs, ale marne. Same zeleri, vr gky, lesy, rortrouSena pekne staveni, az najednou naskytl se nam krasnY obraz. Pied nami, skryte v bohate zeleni, le gelo lazeriske misto Hot Springs.

Bylo krasne nedelni odpoledne. Projeli jsme mestem, ktere bylo Ve svateenim havu, pine aut i chodcri a zametili jsme pinno do ulice Holly, kde jsme se ubytovali. Shodou okolnosti protejAi ulice, odboeujici u domu ye kterem jsme bydleli, jmenuje se Eddy. Na kfigovatce jsou proto 2 tabulky, jedna "Eddy", druha "Holly", cog je kiestni jmeno i pHjmeni bratra Hollyho. Zajimava nahoda, ze?

Pfijemne jsme se usadili, osve gili a po kratkem odpoeinku gli jsme se podivat do mesta.

We may get somewhere. Your ed itor starts this movement forward by proposing to inject new vitality and enthusiasm in the entire SPJST organization. But your editor cannot do it alone.

He has to have helpers — and plenty of them.

• • FIRST, LET US READ THE MINUTES of the meeting held by the Supreme Lodge in October. It started at nine o'clock Monday morning and it adjourned the next day, Tuesday afternoon. The cost of it was $700. Let us see what was dale in those two days. And let us suggest what could have been done with thoughtful planning.

THERE IS A REGULAR, TIME-HONored pattern at all the meetings of the Supreme Lodge. Before the opening of the meeting, every officer distributes a mimeographed report on the work done in his department. Six officers — six reports. Then the minutes of the previous meeting are read and approved.

Then each officer presents his problems. After the officers come seven directors bringing matters of investments, questions, recommendations, suggestions.

It looks simple, yet it gets complicated.

And time flies when thirteen men discuss each penny's worth.

• MY FIRST PROPOSAL WOULD BE to remove the cobwebs from the meeting of our governing body. It can be streamlined, revitalized, raised above the level on which it had been running for the last twenty-five years. Your editor has been attending the meetings since 1924, so he should know. He is "sticking his neck out" by suggesting practical changes.

REPORTS FROM DISTRICTS SaMETARY OF DISTRICT SEVEN WRITES Karnes City, Texas Brothers and Sisters: This appeal is addressed to all the SPJST district: and to all the officers in the respective districts.

In the meeting held by District Seven on May 16, 1954, in San Antonio, Brother Chas. Holasek, director of District Seven proposed to establish a museum and a library which would be located in the SPJST Building in Temple. This museum would be of immense historical value and would give a concrete picture of the historical development of the Czech immigrants and pioneers in Texas.

Dr. Jos. Kopecky spoke very favorably about the plan, and also Brother Otto Hanus. The motion to create a Czech museum was adopted by a unanimous vote.

In the following meeting of District Seven, held in Corpus Christi on October 31, 1954, the writer of these lines, acting as secretary of District Seven, reminded the members of the proposed plan. It was agreed that a proclamation be published in the Vestnik, addressed to all the SPJST districts and their officers to find out whether or not the other districts would favor the project cf Czech museum and library in the SPJST Building in Temple.

Therefore, it is the purPose of this appeal to request all the officers of every SPJST district to bring the matter before the members in the next district meeting. We can work out some plan on the information whether or not the other districts would back up the plan.

This is strictly a voluntary undertaking. The secretaries of the districts can report the opinion of the members, or the intention of the district, in the Vestnik.

NOVEMBER PROGRAM OF SPJST NO '73, SEYMOUR, TEXAS

WINTERIZE YOUR CAR Your neglected automobile can be the cause of a lot of woe and. worry. Old Jack Frost, who is just around the corner, has a peculiar liking for the neglected cars, often turning them into useless heaps of machinery ready for the junk pile.

With only a few inexpensive precautions, your car can be protected against the winter's fury.

Here is a check-list of the items which should be given attention before the winter sets in: I. Use a good grade of gasoline. Your car requires a more volatile fuel for starting in cold weather. This is automatically provided by the oil companies.

Each autumn they supply the dealers with a little flashier gas than the summer gas.

2. Clean your fuel system. On cold days, water condenses in the cold-air space of a partially empty gasoline tank If it freezes somewhere between the engine and the tank, you will have to be thawed out to get started.

Sometime wnen you fuel gauge reads "empty" , open the plug under the tank and drain it dry. Also empty the carburetor and • fuel-pump bowls to rid them of water and sediment.

Throughout the winter, drive' "off the top of the tank"—that is, keep the tank as full as possible by frequent refilling.

3. Motor oil. First, always use good oil which is the life of the engine, and other parts that are subject to wear.

Gummy oil is a major factor in hard

starting. Start the winter with a clean oil and one of the SAE number recommended by the manufacturer of the car for' the temperatures expected.

If your car is about due, mileage-wise, for a periodic change of transmission, rear-axle, universal-joint, and other lubricants, this is a good time to do the job.

4. The Cooling System. The average owner of an automobile is chiefly interested in preventing freezing of the radiator water. This is easily accomplished, but it must be done without chemical injury to the car. Permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycicl) sold under various trade names, or one of the alcohols (methyl or ethyl), are recommended. Along with the antifreeze, use a rust inhibitor.

Avoid using any saline solutions and glycerine.

Never mix various types of antifreeze solutions. Saving and using your permanent type antifreeze for a second winter is bad practice. The ethylene glycol will continue to resist freezing, all right, but the rust inhibitor is shot, and acids have formed.

So even if the radiator water looks fine, drain the radiator and refill with clean water, new antifreeze, and new rust inhibitor.

If you use the permanent type, check closely for a while for leaks. Ethylene glycol will penetrate minute holes in the radiator or engine block that would mrmally hold plain water. Antifreeze inside the engine can be ruinous.

Strana 18 Alcohol is cheaper, does the job very well, is less likely to leak and less harmful if it does, but it has the distadvantages of evaporating.

5. Battery and ignition. In winter, even a good battery tends to lose its punch. Good ignition is half the battle won. If your battery is constantly undercharged, or loses water excessively, do not wait for an ice storm to get rid of it.

During the winter months your battery carries a much greater load than in the summer tine: Every 10 degree drop in temperature slows the chemical re-. action rate by half. Meanwhile, it takes on a heavier load: more light as days becomes shorter, more use of heater, defroster and perhaps more radio playing.

Starting puts an extra strain on it as lubricants congeal, gasoline fails to vaporize, and wet wire weaken the ignition spark.

For trouble-free operation of your car, the answer is to do everything possible—in advance—to preserve battery strength.

If your car is in top performing condition, if it has been regularly tuned up, cleaned up, lubricated, and adjusted for wear, you should have no winter troubles at all. A good motor tune-up makes very good sense just at this time.

6. Under the hood, examine all the wiring, cables, spark plugs, distributor points and caps. Wipe off the wiring, the porcelain on the spark plugs, the distributor cover and battery cables.

Watch out for hardened and cracked or worn insulation—which does not sulate but instead may short out the i g -nito.Makesurth edisrbuto points and spark-plug terminals are, set to specifications, or replace them if replacements seem necessary.

Add all these little things together and your car should give you good service. ) k■

Five men were asked the following question: "If good qualities could be given by hypodermic needle, what kind of shot would you recommend for most people?" The first man said, "A shot of gratitude"; the second many said, "A shot of understanding"; and the third man said, "Dependability"; the fourth, "Happiness"; and the fifth, "Proper sense of timing." It is my thought that our Nation needs a shot of integrity, of enough integrity, to take a stand for freedom anywhere in our world and to denounce the restrictions to freedom everywhere on our own planet. And should our Nation go down let her go down with integrity and with the flag of freedom flying.

THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving is the only festival in our time to blend religious and national traditions.

Its history, is intertwined with American history. It began on Plymouth Rock, and became the law of the land in the winter of Pearl. Harbor.

Two milestones mark its course: The first national observance, proclaimed by President Washington after the Union was born, and the first annual observance, proclaimed by President Lincoln when the Union seemed about to perish.

Between these two great men linked with America's holiday stands a woman who's persistent efforts have made the clay. what it now is.

Mrs. Sarah Buell Hale, at thirty four years of age, was a penniless widow with fiVe children, vainly striving to support them as a milliner. She tried writing, turned out some poems, and then a novol , entitled NORTHWOOD, OR LItet, NORTH AND. SOUTH. In her novel, Mrs. Sarah Hale devoted much space to the traditional autumn feast.' She persisted that Thanksgiving, like' 4th of July, should be considered a national festival and observed by all the• people•of the nation.

As an editor of a Philadelphia periodical, 'Abe LADY'S BOOK, she acquired a nation wide influence. She championed progress in all fields, from cooking stoves to Colleges for women. Besides, she stood fields, from cooking stoves to colleges for a strong Union, for sectional harmony, and for a national observance of Thanksgiving.

Mm. Hale well knew that the Union of states thrived whenever Americans ''pulled together, and it suffered from all things tending to pull them• apart. To her, the observance of Thanksgiving as a national holiday by every state, -all the e territories and all . individuaVy on the same day, meant a grand spectacle of moral power, greater unity nd 'human happiness.

By' '1835, the observance of the day had spread far beyond its native New England States. It was observed regularly in the middle seaboard states and occasionally in the deep South. It had MO \Ted westward through the Ohio valley and along the Great Lakes with the Wagon trains of trail blazing pioneers.

Everywhere it proved Mrs. Hale's contention that common holidays "bring out and together, as it were, the best sympathies in our natures.

In ,1846, the lady editor launched her full,fledged campaign, a Thanksgiving drusacle that continued for 17 years.

Time– and again she explained to her

hundreds of thousands of readers North and South that the holiday would be a band, a reminder of common blessings.

Year after year she quoted from Washington's proclamation: "That we may then all unite in rendering our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country, for the civil and religious lib erty, with which we are blessed, and in general for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us."

In issue aftertissue of the Lady's Book, Mrs. Hale dreW glowing pictuies of "millions of people sitting down, together, to a feast of joy and thankfulness."

She started writing personal letters, thousands of them, to support her articles and editorials for a common holiday to be observed by the entire nation.

By 1852, twenty nine of the thirty one states, and all the territories united in the festival. The states of Virginia and Vermont did not participate.

In one of her articles, "Our Thanksgiving Union" in 1859, she reminded the readers that it was seventy years since thirteen states had joined to form a nalion, that the flag now numbered thirty two, with some half dozen or more additional 'stars shining out of the depths of our wilderness continent—God save the United States prayed Mrs. Hale. "If every state would join in Union Thanksgiving on the 24th of November, would it not be a renewed pledge of love and loyalty to the Constitution which guarantees peace, prosperity, progress and perpetuity to our great Republic?"

Within a year and a half her hopes lay buried.

Civil war had broken out, and it broke, her heart. She could only be silent, on the issues, the hostilities, even on the efforts to relieve the suffering. Only once, in November, 1861, she pleaded for a Thanksgiving of peace, imploring her countrymen to "lay aside our enmities and strifes on this one day."

Only the cannon aswered.

After Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day on which the people might "render the homage due to the Divine Majesty, and invoke the influenees of His Holy Spirit to subdue the anger, and finally to lead the whole nation back to the perfect enjoyment of union and fraternal peace."

There was but a glimmer of hope that the nation might ever be whole again.

In August, 1963, Mrs. Hale resumed her drive, through her editorials, for a Thanksgiving, but not the annual national holiday which she had been seek-

Mg for 17 years. Now, more than ever, there was a need for it, to recall the unilying power of a true Thanksgiving. She no longer urged the several states to concur. This was hardly a time for any national festival, with the nation split, torn and bleeding. It was only weeks since 16,000 young men in blue and 18,000 in gray had been killed, maimed or missing.

Two years had gone by since Sarah's appeal for a Thanksgiving truce, four years since, her plea in behalf of "Our Thanksgiving "Union". She had failed.

She and millions of other Americans of, good will had failed to control the conflicting passions.

She wrote another batch of letters to important people, with her own hands, as if it were a duty. This time an answer came from the secretary of state: "I have received your interesting letter, have commended the same to the consideration of the President."

Four days later President Lincoln proclaimed the first nationals Thanksgiving day in half a century, the first in a line that has since been unbroken.

Lincoln had Washington's 74 year-oId proclamation before him when he issued his. He not only designated the same last Thursday in November: he signed the document on the same October 3rd.

Sarah Buel Hale had won her victory, at seventy five years of age. Yet, waging a lifetime battle of untiring effort, she gave credit where it was due, when she wrote, "President Lincoln recognized the truth of these idLs as soon as they were presented to him. His reply to our appeal was a proclamation."

Sarah Hale's dream, Thanksgiving a national legal holiday, 'became a reality in her 90th year, The legalization of the annual national Thanksgiving holiday of the United States became a fact on December 9, 1941, two days after Pearl Barbor. The date had been fixed in the Judiciary committee: henceforth it is to be the 4th Thursday in November.

By The Fruits

As the tree is known by its fruits, the gold by touch, and the bell by sound; so is a man's birth byhis benevolence, his honor by his humility, and his calling by his courtesy," 'said Cawdray.

Courtesy marks the gentleman—disCourtesy the uncultured. However, genuine courtesy is more than a form, a veneer. It must go beyond a polite "Please" and "Thank You." it is a condition of the heart and a state of the mind. No one can be a truly courteous person who does not have an unselfish interest in others. Thoughtful atten tions consistently performed, sympathetic interest sincerely manifested, are fruits found on the tree of courtesy, Discourtesy is rooted deep in selfish.' ness. It stems from the opinion that "I am better than you are. I am fine china;' you are common pottery. I am gold; you are brass. I am stronger, I am better educated, I have more money, I ani better looking." Such an opinion of one's self bears the fruit of rudeness that pushes another off the sidewalk. It begets the caste system and every oth.erk "superiority complex" that ever existed.

Pity is a fruit of courtesy. The strong should respect the burden of the weak.

The healthy should regard the burden of the sick. The young should esteem, the burden of the aged.

Swift says, "Pride, ill nature, and,want of sense, are the three great sources of illmanners." With this we are compelled to agree. Easily wounded pride disregards the principle of courtesy and wounds both the innocent and the guilty. Few there are who can enjoy wealth, fame, beauty, success and still retain the spirit of true courtesy. — Signs of, the Times.

HOW TO HANDLE A TEEN-AGER Anybody, of course, can handle a teenager.

Human beings have learned to manage tigers, lions, snakes, and husbane and wives." The purpose of this article is to help you to handle teen-agers with a minimum of friction. Parents have a head start in this since they have been eonditioned by years spent in learng, ing to handle just plain children.

Teen-agers, however, are different from children. A child, for instance, will watch television or listen to the radio of read or study or play or eat or nag at you for something he wants next week the you must drop everything to do tonight. But a teen-ager will listen tt. the radio while he watches television, while he is talking to a friend on the phone, while he is studying and eating and will shout above the tumult that unless you drive down that minute ant gct the books he needs at the library alio forgot to pick up himself that afternoon, he . will fail Social Studies, he kapt back for the year, thrown off the I otball team and never be allowed to eta er the college on which his whole career depends and for which he already lifts made you send the first year's tuition check.

Girl teen-agers create special probleins. which must be handled in special Way's. For instance, your daughter it eating breakfast standing on one foot while she cleans the saddle shoe on the other. "Tonight," she says between hei gulps, "we're having a slumber party You and daddy can sleep in , the attic bliu be sure that you have enough mattresses laid 'cut in the living room and ball. 'Iltere'll be sixteen kids—and you bettor get enough waffles for breakfast.

Last time (accusingly), we ran short of them, and butter!"

There is another kind of delayed information-giving to which girl teenagers are addicted. It can start like this.

Your daughter comes home from school one afternoon and enters the house quietly: Not a door bangs, not a dish 01 glass rattles to indicate the assua g in g of a raging thirst for milk or coke or a ravenous need for sandwiches or fruit.

Not a book drops. Not a sound comes from the vicinity of the telephone. You tiptoe around suspiciousl y until you find your girl curled up in a corner doing hei homework.

Yours is the perennial parental question. Don't you feel well, dear? Dear feels, she will tell you in a short word, fine. If you drag or coax it out of her, she will tell you then and there; or, it you let her seek you out later and eon-

(By Anne Williams) ide in you, she will put the problem, on he line then. Dick has finally asked her ,o a dance. And she thought he never would and of course, Bob had expected hat she would go with him, but she Axed that by telling Bob that even if ,hey had been going steady, he hadn't Actually asked her to this dance and Dick had asked her first and it was only .air to Dick to say she had no other fate, really, and to tell him that she would go with him and Dick was the one Joy in school that absolutely every girl was just waiting to go out with and now, if course, she couldn't go.

If you're new at the game you will Ask for heaven's sake why, since she ,eems to have everything arranged. But f you've been attending' the course Teen age I even long enough to have passed 6, you will sigh and ask why you can't _to something to the dress she wore to the ,enii-formal to make it look different.

Lou will know in advance that this is a netorical question and only a delayiig action on your part and you will wind up asking when the dance is and what kind of dress she has in mind. rhen she will call Dick, and in a fast Jour and a half chat, tell him that it's J. K. You will spend at least one shopping Afternoon alter school and one entire Jaturday finding the dresS. You will ,pend a day hemming it. Then you will live it one last admiring look and hang .6 in the closet the day before the dance.

Lou won't even wonder if Dick is worth all this.

'That afternoon your daughter will iome in humming, the front door will sang, the refrigerator door will bang, ,ne glass will rattle against the bottle And ensiles will clatter. S'ne will dance oho the living room, pirouette a few ;Imes, sink ciown to the floor, reach up xit turn on the radio and join it in song. .etween bites she will say, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Bob and I are going Aeaely again."

In case you miss the full significance of tins, she will add, "I won't need the cress alter an, we're not going to the dance." boy teen-ager will also engage in delayed information-giving — wan a alascuime twist. "Hey," he will say, addressing you in his usual terms of endearment,. "I've got so, have my new ,Lyin shoes by tomorrow. I've bOught ,nem, only I was two dollars snort and t told the man you'd pick them up and pay him the rest. Don't forget, now."

Addle-pated old you somehow remembers through clear through the next morning when you go out to get the car, which isn't there. You check over all the possibilities and decide, logically that your son has taken the car. He must have told you and you must have not heard him or forgotten, or been thinking of something else at the time. But, at any rate, he will certainly get his shoes. You go back to your day in the mines.

When you son comes home late for dinner that night, he is driving the car.

"We won," he tells you cheerfully. Then, as he looks around, "Where are my shoes?"

When you tell him that you thought, since he took the ear he would get the shoes, he looks at you the way he did when he was a baby and you lifted his face out of the marmalade plate.

"But I reminded you this morning as I was leaving that l told you last week that we were playing in Mountvale today and I would take the car and that you could go down on the bus. It only takes twenty minutes. New I won't have them and Mr. Glass will cream me for waving to miss gym," in this kind of case you can take a stand. You have a right to be told clearly and plainly and in advance what is expected of you. But the easiest thing is to get up a half hour earlier in the morning, rush to tne store, get the shoes, go to the school, deliver them , a n d oreathe a sign of relief that your son will not get creamed, or flogged or thrown out of school or led out to be olincifolded and snot at dawn because you just never listen. — Reprinted from Best Years. sifi) • Jet propulsion is a wonderful invention for airplanes, but when it is the force behind words, how devastating the results can be! words, jet-propelled, leave a trail behind them that only time or eternity can dissipate.

'Etiana 21 WHY THEY DO IT (By KVP Philosopher) When the ancient Greeks and Romans observed some peculiarity of human behavior, they were seldom at a loss to account for it, as the story goes.

Before he became known as the god of wine, Bacchus was a lover of grow'rig things. One day while traveling in a far country, he found a tiny plant which greatly interested him, so much that he wished to transplant it in his own country.

Uprooting it carefully, he looked. about to find a container that would keep the rots moist and safe. The thigh bone of a bird provided just what he needed, and he thrust the roots into its hollow.

His journey was long, the little, plant grew, and shortly the roots were too big for the small container. As he was then passing through Africa, he next found the leg bone of a lion and placed the bone of the bird in its hollow.

Still the vine grew and was so lovely that he knew he must save it at all costS sc. when it finally became cramped in the bone of the lion, he cast about once more and found a bone from a jackass, into which he placed the lion's bone. On his return to his own country, he dug a hole in some fertile ground and piaeed therein the vine in its three containers.

The lovely plant proved to be a grapevine and on it grew the grapes which Bacchus pressed and made into wine.

When he gave it to his friends he , was greatly surprised to see its effect on them.

• When they drank only a little, they sang like birds. When they drank more, they were brave and roared like lions.

And when they drank too much they behaved in the manner of jackasses!

• 4, • SUCCE4S IS WHERE YOU MAKE IT: A young man driving a soap route for his father was obliged to inforni his patrons of a rise in the price of ,his products. When a decrease in busineSs resulted, he tried offering premiums with his soap. Up went his volume of saleS, and he was encouraged to add baking powders to his line. A larger variety` f premiums was also offered — traveling bags, cook books, cologne bottles, and, finally, chewing gum.

In this last item he found his ideal premium. His sale . of soap had now 13radtic:ally ceased, and soon he found many people buying his baking powders only to obtain the premium of chewing gum.

'Everybody wanted chewing gum.

And so the young man scrapped everything but the manufacture and sale,,of chewing gum — and William Wrigley, Jr., was on his way to fame and fortune.

Dora se zaradovala s ni. Dej ti Pan Bah itesti, draha Oluiko! Budu se modlit, aby to dobie dopadlo."

"No — Miroi se trochu boji, jsem piece ji2 stark a prvni porod — to je na pova2enou. Ale ja, mild Dorotko, chci viecko riskovat, za to velike itesti," a ukazovala Dote co viecko ji2 ma napleteno, co hackuje a co ji dela matinka. "A jak dobie se liana to hodi grave na prazdniny tak, 2e matinka tu maze pobSrt anit by s tim mela k vuli chlapctim poti2e.

Ruda oviem, jest ji2 pryd — maturoval a iel dal, ale Jenda —" "To je itesti, 2e se ten chlapec dostal k milostpani," vzdychla Dora, "za to ti musi dat Pan Bah itesti."

Pan Rah si ale nedava piedpisovat ani radit, komu ma dat itesti a na koho ma seslat ktiZ. MalYm duiim zpravidla prochazi viecko lehce ty by te2kST kill neunesly, ale velke duie, jako byla Olga, bSrvaji zkouieny te2ce.

Kdy2 ptiiel jeji eas, bylo jeji utrpeni hrozne. Malem, malem by byla, zaplatilo viecko 2ivotem. Ji2, ji2 se nad ni sklanela veena, tma a Andel byl blizek zoufalstvi.

Uboha Olga byla ptevezena do nemocnice a tarn o ni pracovali lekati tak douho, a,2 v ni zOstala u2 jen matinka jisktieka 2ivota.

A kdy2 se ijm piece podatilo dite pHvest na svet, byla jejich veda bezinocna. Male ubolatko vydechlo jen jednou a naposled. Ani neotevtelo °Melo, a ani se na svou mamu jedinkrat nepodivalo.

To byl ukrutnSr 2all Spravec Andel zabedoval jako posttelenSr vlk a Olgu to chtelo znovu usmrtit. Tedine stark pani je pamatovala, aby nereptali a spolehali na milost Boil, ie vie je dobte co On eini.

Trvalo dlouho, ne2 se mohla Olga vratit do zam.ku a to si poslala pro Doru a

dna )7:' li:• 1;opadu ati.4, viecko ji v plaid 2alovala.

"Takova apa, takova hrtitza a nic, nemam za to, jen vednY 2al."

Co ji mela Dora povedet, eirn ji potent?

"Ten 2ivot je takovej, draha Oluiko!

Nekdy je k neuneseni," a plakala s ni.

To trvalo kolik let, ne2 Olga o2elela, svou nejkrasnejii nadeji. Rikala, ie by to chtela jeite jednou podstoupit, ale Andel u2 nechtel o nieem ani "Ba ne, ba ne, takovSrm zpilsobem se o tebe neptipravim. Ale chce g -1", vezmeme si nejake cizi dite za vlastni. Snad mu zvykneme jako svemu."

Hledali a patrali, ale nekdy je to dosti take, nalezti opuitene, zdrave Andelovi byli vzdelani lido a mnoho yedeli. Meli strach ze zdedenSich vloh a neodhodlali se k nidernu.

Edita mela soucit s Olgou a snad v torn bylo i kus yypoditavosti, 2e sem easto pougtela sve deti.

Chlapec ji2 byl velkY a jaksi se v samote zamku nebavil, ale dceru gka, maKamila tarn bYvala nesmirne rada..

Travila tarn ji2 kolikate prazdniny.

Take Jenda Slabintit tam bYval o prhdninach vice nek doma.

Stara pani travila take ka2de prazdniny na zamku a Janda nemel doma nic dobreho. Otec si ho temet nevAirnal a stranil deveattima stale napadneji.

U spravcil men piano a on se mohl odvolavat, ie na nem cviei a ie je to v zajmu jeho vzdelani.

Ji2 chodil do konservatoke a civil neobyeejne pokroky.

Kdy2 se Ala pani Rabochova na nej ptat, v2dy slyAela jen chvalu a sliby.

Z Jendy vyrustal hezkY hoch a ptijemnY. Jak lehce pfekonaval zmenu hlasu, tak i pornerne dobte ptekrodil klackovita leta.

To byla jedina radost jeho matky. * "Hoge, cog se ten nag tata neumoudti?" povidala jednou Matenka, kdy2 Jan Slabina zase Dora nekdy fikala, 2e ma takove chvile, jako namesieni. Kdy2 jde mesic dolt, 2e ho to v2dycky dr21.

Ale mesic mohl jiti i nahoru a kdy2 mu neco vlezlo do hlavy, tak potSira,1 ptedeviim 2enu a take deveata, kdy dorustala.

Proe tak na maminku soei, ani Maard Lida dobie nechapaly a dlouho to nevedely, aZ jednou to Maim trklo a povidala Lide: "Ten nag tatinek nema rozum, Dyt' von na maminku zarli. Sly giA to, co pofade mite? A vona, chudak, nikarn nechodi a vod ma giny se ani nehne."

"8ak to tak nema delat," povidala Lida. "Nema potade Atrykovat. Co z toho ma?" bych si ani za nic nezvala tako-

Ve stfedu, dne 17. listopadu 1955, *Oho mutskYho," rozumovala Maria, "kerej by mne nedal za celej eas dobrY slovo. To raei vostanu tak!"

"A ja se zase tetim, at se vdam," pohodila hlavou patnactileta, Lida. "Aspon se toho doma zbavim a lepti si to zafidim net to ma nate maminka."

Takov' mei Jan Slabina vdek za to, ze svYm deveatam tolik strand pted Jendou.

Nikterak to necenila, naopak odvatila se ho kritisovat. Jen co je pravda, dorastajici deti mail bystrY postfeh a podrobuji mu i sve rodide. Na to maji chni otcove i matky pamatovat.

Od to doby, co to obe Slabinova deveata pochopila, stala obe, na strati a •patrala, neco- pravdy na tom, pros otec matku tyro. Dobfe, ze mela Dora diste svedomi. Jiste by to byly ty zvedave taby objevily, kdyby mela na svem Stite temne skvrny.

Dora, chudak!

To ut nebyla ta krasna Dora.

Byla z ni utahana, zvadla Lena — vsceka jeji krasa se nekara podela. Byla jako potlapana, nepestend a okousana kvetina a Jan Slabina, po vai Vtudy zalibe lasce byl jako hlemYtd', ktery tu krasnou rati soustavne A jette ji i ted' nekdy fekl: "Copak ty, ty by sis &Ste namlouvala a &Ste by ses baviia, jen kdyby vo tebe nekdo stall" Co dorostla deveata, najednou pfenes1 vtecku tarlivost a podeziravost na, ne.

Kdyi daval Mariu do Siti a Lidu poslal po prve vlakem do mesta, aby se udila modistkou, zavolal si obe do svetnice a zavfel za nimi dvefe.

"Dybych na to Oita', tie si nekera, namlouvate, nebo, ze pachate nakou neplechu, tak bych yam stoup na krk a zatkrtil bych vas jak veverku. Chraii vas Pan Bah, abyste si nekera neco uhnala, a P H -nesladr.Tobystemiohly zat!"

Tato napomenuti bylo pro tak 'mlade deti ptes-pfilit silne. Maria se podivala zpod oboei na otce (byla eel& xnatka, ale ne hezka. Dora se umela divati take tak vzdorne) a stiskla rty.

Lida se dala do plate. Vzlykala a neodpovidala. Slabinu to dojalo, pohladil ji pa hlave a povidal: "No, ja to vim, te set hodna a tie bys mi to neudelala. Ty jedina set cela po bych rob. umfel, net bych udelal neco nedestnYho." Potorn bylo Dote jette tit.

Obe deveata byla po celY den prye Mane jezdila na kale do Sits a nekdy se vracela velrni pozde veeer.

Slabina mel o ni strach a chodil ji naproti. Lida pfijildela poslednim viakern, protote k tomu pal testemu nebyla hotova s praci. Co dela ve , meste do to doby vabec nevedei. Myslil, te to sta-

V t STE fIC — WEST, TEXAS di, kdyt stale pist e mistrove, aby Lidu nikam nepouttela.

Dora mela celou domacnost na starosti, kozu, drabet a mute — vtecko. Ba, tadal od ni, aby s nim vstavala easne rano k vlaku. Lide si navykli, podavat tu na za.stavce take zavazadla, to se muselo napsat a na to on nestatil.

Ba, nekdy byl rad, kdyt Dora vzala lucernu a 'tla za nej po trati. Mel nejake revma a fikal, ze ho loupa v kolenou, neni Doru take nekdy nekde neco loupalo, ale ona radeji nic netikala. Byla rada, kdyt mut nehuboval.

Toho roku se zvlatte tesila na prazdniny, Jenda t •ijede. Vedela site, ze se doma mnoho nezdrti, ale to ji jen kdyt vedela, ze ho ma nablizku.

Jenda pfijel vesele. A sotva se doma otoCil, svlekl rukavici a ukazal rodiefun ruku.

"Ani jsem yam o torn nepsal, jen jsem eekal, jak operate dopadne. A nebyla Podivejte! Ut mom katiclY prst tvlatt,', ted' jen co se s nimi naueim dobfe vladnout a zaCnu se take Olt hrat na housle."

Dora se tak zaradovala, ze se nemohia ovladnout. Chytila Jendovu ruku a tiskla si ji na prsa i na rty.

Otec se dival zammratene na jeji radost a nefekl ani slava.

Jenda byl hoch krasne urostlY, to jiste po nem. Jan. Slabina mel opravdu hezkou postavu, vtak tou se Dofe nejvice zalibil.

Vypadal vtdy jako pan. Kdyt si na to Dora nekdy vzpomnela, zhluboka si vzdy8koda, ze se tak zmenil — tak nejak na vtecko zapomnel — tak nejak stal zpatky.

Bohutel to eini vettina lidi, kdyt se vdet, nebo oteni.

KaticlY se pfestava vzdelavat a glechtit a mysli, ze je to pro toho druheho dobre.

Tak i Slabina netel vpfed, Obit kiesal zpet.

Jenda se na otce mnoho nedival, ale maminka mu nejak padla do oka.

"Ut jdu do posledniho roku, mami. Jak dostanu misto, tak pfestanet plest. Vidim to na tobe, jak set udtend a hubend. Je to Skoda, mami."

Takova, slava netekl Doke jette nikdy nikdo. Popadlo ji to za srdce a propukia v plad. Polotila si hlavu na Jendovo rameno.

"Prof pldeet, mami?" pfekvapene se na ni dival. "Je ti neco? Set nemocna?"

Nemohla se uklidnit.

Kroutila hlavou.

"Ne, ne, Jenieku. Nic mi nejni, ale je mi to tak mile, ze sis me vim . . . Ale, Jenieku, at se volenit, nikda nebud' k tene takovej — vis, tak neuznalej a hrubej. Ne ta prate a clfina, ani nedostatek — ale to hrube jednani, to ten-

To si pamatuj, Jeniekul" Jenda byl po to jeji kedi velmi zamytlenY a easteji net v •inn leta chodil ze zamku doma na zastaiku.

6asteji sedal u mateina stroje a vteli, cos ji vypravoval. A to si jeSte vyeital, ze je vice u spravca net doma — ale nemohl si pomoci.

Tam bylo dobfe, tarn ho 'deck() Uhl°, tam byl jako doma. Nemohl si odeptit, aby nepfijimal jejich pozvani, jejich hasteni, jejich pfatelstvi.

Takove nedelni dopoledne, kdyt ho pozvali k obedu, bylo nezapomenutelne.

8e1 sem pravidelne rovnou z kostela, kde katdou nedeli po cele prazdniny zpival vlotku a setkal se s milostivou pani ptimo na schodech.

"DobrYtro, Jenieku, jak pak ste se,.'713r7 spal? Hele, do ratova. A nak se'vain krouteji vlasy."

Tim ho rada zlobivala, protote Jenda mel vlasy po mamince, samY prstYnek, V pokoji bylo otevfene okno a vaneite zahrady a s poll se linula dovnitt, ba na stole stala kytice derstvYch kvetin a 46.4, vodila s vanemi zvenei.

Jenda si skuteene sedl hned k pianui nebo se pfebiral v knihovne, aneba'se jen dival oknem na nadvoki, kde si hra-. ly deputatnicke deti a deda se tu a`tarn mihl s putYnkou nebo s klinem obroku.

Ut se naklanel a tval mel tak stratne zbrazdenou, b mu delala ptimo etve4 reeky a obrazce.

A pfece byl denne, v zime v lete i pozde do noci, nebo easne rano se sitYrn spfetenim venku.

Jenda utival a vnimal krasu toho sva4 teoniho roma, v nemt zpivali kohouti a slavnostne znely zvony, ale to jette nebY4 to vte — stale nekoho Cekal.

Koneene.

Drobne kroky se ozvaly v sousednim pokoji a jig •se otevfeli dvefe. Piihopko-. vala Kamilka, netet milostive pant, mils: eek celeho domu.

Velike srdce Olgy, ktere neinohlo v-Sec.! ku lasku, ji g bylo obdafeno, splYtvat v milovani k manaelu a matce, chtelo hlavne mladou bytost, ji g by ji zahrnuf lo.

Kamilka tu pobYvala vice net donia,',a vyhfivala se na jejim vysluni.

TO je dost, pane Jenieku, Z • e jste si take 112, nas vzpomnel.,Cekam velkomoZneho pana od Usvitu a stale nikde nie."

"Od tisvitu?"

Jenda piny smielm a $t'astneho veseli. "To bych si Veera jsem tu byl v °sin ho din a mile-Alva sleena jate spinkala: Ano, ar“,, nie nekikejte, drahouSku! zinka mi to sverila a Rezinka, nelZe!" "Jakle, Rezinka, ach, to je kievetnice!

"Nu, pr,..to!" zvolal Jenda se .smichem.

"Ale's pojd' dale, knolku, a ukat"' jako to mit$ $aty! Na mou veru, jako sleena."

Vtahl ji za ruce do jidelny a tarn se $ ni toeil do kola, pH dem2 na 111 vlaly fularove Aateeky 'eervene a modke kolidkovane.

"ZaxidiA, yid'?" volala jak se toeila, byla jako makova panenka.

"Ty se nenniZeA pkistrojit tak nalehko."

Pani spravcova to mela rada, kdyz tyto velke deti pa rams spoilt hraly a zpivaly neco nabokteho. — Jan to Yodel a zpival pravidelne "Ave Xaria."

Kamilka ho doprovazela. Sedela u klataburetce jako pestrY motylek.

Potom mu donesly narnazany krajic ehleba a bud' mleko nebo eiAku vina.

Pobizely take Kamilu, ale to pravidelne okousala tiidu, nebo slizla maslo a ostatni nechala.

A jik ho pcbizela, aby Ali do zahrady, nebo nekam na prochazku, kdyl je takovy nadhernY den. V zahrade melt vAeeko, co jim zprijemriovalo Zivot.

AngreStu cele aleje a velikou tfeSeri pinou eervenyeh srdeovek. A mezi dvema bievny visela houpadka, na 1112, se Kamila vagnive rada houpala.

Jenda mel tu pkijemnou povinnost, strkat do ni vSi silou, al mu viasy piepaclavaly do k eela. Idydrieli to aZ do poledne, nebo jeAte dale. Pravidelne Ael pan spravee, aby je zavolal k obedu.

Ten dobrY pan yypadal ak prilh blahobytne. Ztloustl a zmohutnel v tomto St'astnem manZelstvi, Ze vypadal jako sama spokojenost.

Vesele pobizel ty velke deti do bytu a na oko huboval, Z'e se Kamila na to houpaece utluee a pak pry se ma, spravit. Jeji teninke no2Ity se jen kmitaly a ruelty slabSi neZ naleeky se zavesily strYekovi na pak.

Obed bYval vYbornY. Jenda, ktery jeAte rostl a potkeboval inhoho potravy, se na nej tesil od yeera.

Skoro vkly to byla nejalta druba, vykrmeny kapoun, merak, nebo husieka, jindy srnaZend kukata, nu a v horAim pripade prorostla veprova s hlaykovym zeliekem a knedlikem.

Po °Ude mei pan spravee ra,d klid a stara pani Ma take do sveho pokoje, aby si podkimla.

Olga si vzala, knihu a lehla v zahrade v siti. Jenda s Kamilou pak nekam utekli, kde byli .sami a mohli si povidat co chteli.

Nejradeji k vode. Za, zamkem tekla reka a v ni bylo pino zalivU a zatiAi. Tarn se koupali a slunili a travili to nejkrasnejAi phidne, jako si pkedstavovali po eelYch deset mesicit ye mesteeh. VedePe na ne eekavala nekdy i v besidce, bylkrasnY, teplY veder. li V zamecke zahrade meli visutou besidku na zahradni zdi. Slo se do ni po schodech a poritAal ji "nooni kterY omarnne venel.

Olga neltdy plisnila muZe, prod udi Jenika takovYm neplecham, ale spravce se sinaval a kikal, Ze to musi kez.dY mraskY umet, proto jate, Ze nemusi bYt karbanikem.

Kandla nady sedela strYekovi na koler* nebo stala Jendovi za zady a kybicovala.

A kdyZ odali vAichni spat, nevyjimaje ani Kamilku, sedala pani Olga dlouho s Jenikem a rozvadeli nejakou rozpravu, velmi valnou a dftlelitou. Na to se Jenda tail celY den, nob si s nikYrn tak nepopovidal jako s milostivou pani.

Umela ho tak skvele peueovat, umela mu sve nahledy tak jemne vnucovat, pronto ho vychovavala, gale vAe Mo forruou zabavy a vtipu, Ze toho Jenda ani nepozoroval.

"Jak se shodneme, pravda-li, Jenieku? Jsi jako by men synem," kikala s rnilYm rismevem.

A skuteene. Jenda east° nevedel, malt radeji svou maminku na zastavee, unavenou, udrencu a zbidovanou kvotem, ktera zustala daleko za nim svYm -az kym, kvotnim obzorem, nebo tuto uvedomelou, krasnou a veene v duSi mladou pani Olgu.

Kdo by se tomu divil, Ze tyto okolnosti mu einily pobyt v zarnku tak milym, a nezapcmenutelnYm? Doma na zastavee bylo smutno, maminka jen pletla, poditala oeka a lomcovala rukou u stroje.

Otec brueel a east() si proti Jenikovi need yymyAlel, co nemelo dirvodu ani podstaty a sestry nebyly doma.

Jenda chedil proto k rodiefun jen jednou, nanejvYA dvakrat za tYden a to jen, Ze to muselo bYt. Cim vice deveata rostla, tim byl Jan Slabina neklidnejAi. Svou Zarlivost fmlne ptenes1 se Zeny na ne. Mrel strachem jejich ctnost. Nejednou doAel Makence naproti al, do mesta a tam patral, jak se chova.

Pak se obratili, a jak proeli zase tim trojim sklepenim, vstreili cisati zase tu kuklu na hlavu, vodili jej zase sem tam, posleze k tomu eebtiku, po kterem vylezli do sklepeni. Kdye otvor zase zadelali, zhasili svice, a sriavee cisari kuklu vedli ho do sakristie a do kostela, kde se po modlil pied velk'm oltatem.

Pote dekoval mnichtun a doloeil: "Mili otcove, jeete at' to zvim: smimli ja syYrn ptatelin, ale jen nekterYm oznamiti, 'ee jsem vide]. ye svem kralovstvi pod zemi takovY znamenit' a yzacnY poklad? Ofeem, ze nepovim, kde a kterYmi misty."

Opat a mniei svolili. Cisat pak jie na odchodu pravil hlede na darovanS T prsten: "Tento vas dar bude u mne v takove vanosti, ze nikdy :nesejde s meho prstu a ee pfijde se mnou do hrobu."

Byl neeporni eas, kdye se vratili z kostela Cisat se jie dlouho neomeekal. Rozeehnav se s opatem a brattimi, vsedl na kone a provazen s yYmi dvema komorniky zamitil zpet po Labi, vzhfiru lukami ku Hradci Tarn vyzvidali dvotane na komornicich, kde byli. Kdykuslyeeli, vyptevali se, co cisai v kleetete "Byl tam na obecle, po obede veeel s opatem a se dvema mnichy starYmi do kostela a dlouho se tam s nimi modlil."

Vice netekli, a vice take nevedeli, a vie take nikdo nezvedel, neb else.* tajernstvi zachoval. Teprve p ied svou smrti povedel nekterSTm syYrn radam, aby mu ten prsten na ruce nechali do hrobu, set' po pamatka z pokladu v kleetete Opatovickem, kterYe pokla.d mu tarn pfed Irmo-

hYmi lety ukazali.

A tak se i stalo..

IL Leta letouci minula po smrti Karla IV. blahe pameti. Na sklonku panovani jeho syna Vaclava IV., a to r. 1415, ptijel do Opatovickeho klaetera nenadalY host pan Jan MesteckSr z OpoOna, s dvema jizdnimi pacholky. Bylo to v listopadu, zrovna na Veechny svate, pozde odpoledne, kdye se jie smrakalo, kdye pusta kol luka i hole jie stromy u Labe eernaly v easnem soumraku. A mrazivY vitr val. , Nebylo divu, ee rytit zajel do kliketera a poeadal o nocleth, vyloeiv, ze chtel dojet do Hradce, ale 'ee je takova slota venku, vitr ee teee i Aubu pronika, a ee bude hrube tmave. noc.

Opat Petr Lazur, start' a ctihocinSt knez, vlidne ptijal rytite a porueil, aby take obema jizdnim dam tadna veeete, jim i ttem jejich druhilm, kteii jak pan MesteckY oznamil, se cestou omeekali a kteti jeete sem dojedouft A dojeli, samY jie yeeer, zardeli od vetru a chladu. Tou dobou sedel jejich pan s opatem a mnichy v refekta •i, ozatenim voskovicemi na stolech, pobliee ohromnYch, zelenYch kamen, jen pfljemne teplo vydavala.

Rytit vypravoval, mel mnohe noviny, o koncilu v Kostnici, o mistru Janovi z Husince, nejvice veak o Praze, ee je na klatbou pro mistra Jana z Jesenice, stoupence Husova, ze jsou veelike slueby Boei v Praze staveny. I dordeel slovy zle na novotna ueeni a na Pra'eany, 'ee se bouti proti kneeim, j, na krele, ee to feecko trpi.

Vtom novY host vstoupil: pan Otto z Bergova. Povedel, ze ho necesta a hrozne povetti dohnaly, aby se utekl pod pohostinnou stiechu stareho klaetera, a dal o nocleh pro sebe a pro s y rch pet pacholkti jizdnYch. Divil se take ,ee tu shledava pana Mesteckeho, ale teen se z toho, ze bude miti na zittek spoleonika na cestu do Hradce.

Opat I pana z Bergove, vlidne phial a salel s rytiri, i kdye bratti tadovi se po veeeti rozeeli do svYch eel. Peni sedeli vine nobliee kamen, kde bylo tim p •ijemneji, jak venku dernou noci buracel vichr, ae se okennice tfasly a rachotily.

Pan MestkY vypravoval, pen z Bergova nebyl take bez novin. Oba take stateene pili a east° dolevali pohary zlatS7m, 'derverYm vinem, ae se jim rdely tvete a svitily oei.

Naraz veak oba umlkli a vstali, kdye venku tmou se nahle ozval hlas valeene trouby. Vzezvuoel ostice, pronikaje i yetrnY hluk. A vtom chytli oba rytiti opata za ruce a pan MesteckSr zostra a chmurne poroudel:

"Kneze opate, slyeels to troubeni. To jest nam enamel* ee nasi zbrojni pacholci maji branu jiz ye sve moci a ee pustili cstatni, tiicet jich, slye; ti dihali venku y e tmach. Ted' jsou jie veichni v klaetete. Ty a veichni tu jste v naei moci."

Opat omrdeen leknutim, steel vyrazil.

"Co chcete?"

"Poklad, vas klaeterni poklad. Nic se ti nestane, kde je. Vime, ee ho mate pod semi. Povez, kde je!" dordeel pan z Bergova.

"Nevim!"

Na chodbe strhl se hluk, Widen tam, ,fineela; "Neeekej pomoci!" hrozii pan MesteckY. "Slyeie, to je nee lid. Mluv, kde je poklad."

"Nepovim!" chvele se, ale peVne odpovidal stars, opat. ."Zmudime te!"

"DO se po vuli Boei. Ale ja nesmim, nepovim."

Pan z Bergova vyrazil z yeeetadla, a hned pote veeli tarn etyti pacholci po zuby ozbrojeni. Tern vydal pan Mesteckk stareho opata. Tmou listopadove noci ozval se zvon bijici na poplach. Nektery z mnichii k nemu dobehl a zvonil, volaje blizkou dedinu na pomoc. A jen zaeal zvoniti, jie vrazili na nej eoldneti a smrtelnou ranou splatili smelemu zvoniku.

Ruda ea •e se mihala klaeterem, kostelni okna zazatila; i po celach ,tmaySimi ambity a dvory, veude se kmitala svetla, pochodne, planouci louee, veude se mihaly postavy prchajicich mnichii, loupetnYch eoldneta, kteti je stihali, kde co vybijeli a sneeeli kotist. Jen opat zfista.1 v klaetete, ale svazan, v nadvornim sklepeni, kde ho pacholci pana Mesteskeho pti zati smolnic bill a natahovali na eebfik, a kde pan Mesteck r nebo zase pan z Bergova na nej "Kde je poklad? Kde, mluv, nebo propadnee hrdlo!"

Ale opat sndeeje 'muesky feechna to muka mleel, a nepovedel ani pak, kdye mu vypalili svicemi bok. — Kdye se probudil mlhavS7, nevlidr4i den, bylo v Opatovickem kleetete ticho a pusto. Byl vyloupen. Veecko sk yostne nabni, hotove penize, feechny klenoty at' kosteini, at' jine, vee odnesli pani MesteckY a z Bergova Otto. Kdye vesnieane Olen do kleetera, naeli ranene mnichy, opata pak na smrt zmueeneho. , .1kody po \teem kleetete byly velike, ale ohromnY podzemni poklad byl zachra nen opatovSr m utrpenim a— jeho smrti.

Zemtelt' Petr Lazur zanedlouho.
