PRAZDNR POKLADNY V DISTRIKTECH RATR F. K. BIJO. EK z Hallettsville, piedseda fadu Karel Ha. vlieek Oslo 4 a bYvalY mistopfedseda Hlavni Madovny z let 19401944, ma ye Vestniku minuleho tYdne pozoruhodnou Uvahu. Jedna vela v jeho dopise zavdala podnet k tomuto fivodniku.

Spravneji feeeno, celY posledni odstavec stoji za povgimnuti. Bratr Bueek napsal: "Nage distriktni schilze mohou v kratke budoucnosti u getkiti nagi Jednote tisice •a tisice dolart, kdy g ty nejhlavnejli veci, ktere se budou projednavati ye sjezdu, napted' se prodiskutuji v distriktnich schtzich.

Na ge distriktni schfize teprve v budoucnosti nam ukagi, jak mnoho mil geme vykonati pied sjezdem a pak mt g eme jednani sjezdove zkratit."

Tyto kadky jsou od elena Clena SPJST, kterY je dnes jedinY zijici delegat vgech sjezdu nagi Jednoty, s vYjimkou toho nejprvnej giho. Bratr Budek, zachoval si, vzdor svemu staff, bystrY postfeh, totig p6zoruje spolkovY givot, a udr guje svou mysi prugnou timto stalYm pozorovanim.

Ale jen v naSi SPJST bychom mohli v prosinci ziskati tech 700,000, ktere nam k letog ni mete schazeji. Nak eleni by meli bYti na girni nejlepgimi zakazniky.

Nez se to ale stane, nal domdei organi-

Ve stfedu, dne 8. prosince 1954. satofi museji miti hodne vice porozumeni, hodne lepgi znalosti o tivotnim pojigteni net jim dosud byly poskytnuty.

Vychova organisatora je dnes velice dilletitkm akolem u katde bratrske organisace. 0 tomto p •edmetu pojednava, se celk den v zasedani Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu. Take statni bratrske kongre.sy probiraji tuto otazku, jako snag se ji vytegiti katda organisace mezi sebou doma. Zatim co obchodni spoleenosti zalotily zvlagtni gkolu pro sve agenty hned pied tticeti roky, bratrske orga.nisace udelaly v tomto smeru prvni krok teprve pied nekolika lety.Byla vypracovana ptirudka o bratrskem poji gteni. Organisatoti tech spolku, ktere jsou eleny Narodniho kongresu, mohou tyto pfirueky dostati prosttednictvim sve hlavni afadovny. A kdy dokondi tento organisatorskk kurs, mohou mistni organisatoti zase prostiednictvim sve hlavni atadovny slotiti zavereene zkou gky. Po prvni zkougce sloti jegte druhou zkou gku a dostanou od ureite sekce Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu vysvedeeni, to s iispechem kurs bratrskeho poji gt'ovani progli.

Take v zasedini Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu bylo v Galvestonu prvniho dne jednano o zlep geni organisatorske prace a o vkchove organisatora. Hlavnim teenikem byl jeden profesor ze Southern Methodist university v Dallas. Bylo vysvetleno, to krome privatniho studia je tadouci, aby katda organisace mela jegte nekolik organisatora, bud' statniho neJai) distriktni, kteti by men ptiletitost vziti intensivni (do podrobnosti nk) kurs na nekterem vy ggim ucilisti nebo universite. Reenik nastinil, to ti, kdo by kurs vzali, museli by po dobu jednoho roku podosati universite zpravu o Bye eirmosti nebo o svem aspechu, aby se vynaglo, zda onen intensivni kurs jim prospel nebo je jim tieba je gte dalgiho zdokonaleni. Pfi gla otazka, kolik bratrskkch organisaci, zastoupenkch v Texaskern bratrskem kongresu, bylo by ochotno poslati sve organisatory do tkdenniho kursu poskytnuteho Southern Methodist universitou v Dallas. Za na gi Jednotu promluvil pfedseda Marek, ze se o to pokusime. Bratr Chupick byl navrten do teditelstva sekce organisatora. ale protoZe neprogel pfedepsank organisatorsk* kurs. byl za ieditele zvolen redaktor Vestniku. Byl dvakrat v organisatorskern kursu na Purdue universite, slotil prvni zavereenou zkou gku, 'deka. na listiny druhe taveredne zkou gky a mel kursy pojigt?ovani net dostal svaj "master's degree" na houstonske universite. Najdeme-li mezi nagimi SPJST organisatory aspori dva nebo tti zajemce, bude to krokem kuritedu a na,deje na ziskani statniho org anisatora.

Nekdy se zda, ze sjezd stanovil vysoke

V 2STN1/C — WEST, TEXAS podminky nebo talc° dosatitelne kvalifikace pro na geho budoucihp statniho organisatora. Tato vec byla prodiskuto\Tana kratce pa sjezdu kdyt pfedseda Marek ustanovil sebe, bratry Navratila, Skrabanka a redaktora, aby vypracovali smernice, jak pokraeovati k ziskani statniho organisatora a distriktni organisatory. Tenkrate redaktor ptines1 ony ptiruely vypracovane Narodnim bratrskkm kongresem. 0 dva roky dfive poutival redaktor tutee ptirueku, kdy daval instrukce organisatoram tadu Pokrok Houstonu. Po jeho vysvetleni a na jeho doporueeni bylo tenkrat, kratce po sjezdu, v srpnu 1952, rozhodnuto, aby vkchova nagich organisatora byla vedena dle navoda Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu. Pfedseda Marek vzal si na starost objednani ptirueek a opravovani *kola mel pfevziti redaktor. Aby mel k tomu pottebne schopnosti, zajel redaktor na sve ittraty do Lafayette ye sto.tu Indiana do kursu na Purdue universite.

Zaatky byly velice slibne. Peiruely dogly a byly rozebrany ye dvou tkdnech.

Poslalo se pro pet objednavek, katda po deseti vktiscich. Ve ttech mesicich ptihlasilo se asi etyficet Ci padesat mistnich organisatora. Byla nejlep gi nadeje, to nekdo se mezi Verna° padesati najde, kdo by byl povzbuzovan, jehot nad geni bylo by zesilovano, aby slotil potadovane zkougky a aby byl pomalu ptipravovan pro girgi praci jako distriktni nebo statni organisator. Osm organisatort proglo celkm kursem v nekolika tkdnech. Jeden organisator ukondil celk kurs s vkbornkm prospechem za tkinact dna. Byla velika, gkoda,te redaktor v onu dobu nebyl v fisttedne,aby surer vkcviku organisatora vedl. Zavereene zkou gky mely bkti v Usttedne. Nedo glo k nim. Prod' cela slibfia, akce usnula, prof nad geni nebylo povzbuzeno a pinou merou zutitkovano, to neni tieba probirati v redakenich vahach. Staei rici, ze jsme meli velice slibnk zadatek, to jsme dnes mohli miti nejen statniho organisatora s patfienkmi kvalifikacemi a tee dva nebo tti distriktni organisatory, ale aC jsme to chytili za pravk konec, nekde to meal° brzdit. Dosud statniho organisatora nername. Ale piece ptieinenim nagich organistitora a souteti mezi distrikty dokazali jsme, to jsme ziskali ye tfech mesicich za jeden milion noveho pojigteni.

Jsme na dobre ceste, jen bude tfeba, abychom dale pokraeovali ye vkcviku nagich mistnich organisatora, at najdeme nektere, kteki by teto Cinnosti venovali pink svaj Cas. Musime prodelati vgechno to, co u jinkch bratrskkch organisaci prodelali pied nekolika lety. Redaktor hovofil s mnohkmi pracovniky od jinkch spolkii.

Vyptaval se, sbiral informace, chtel se neeemu ptiueiti a poznati, jako tetkosti

Strana, 3 museli prodelavati jinde. Jedna bratrska organisace zadala se gkolenim svkch organisatorii pied dvanacti lety. Dnes organisace ma, pies 200 tak zvankch "F. I. C." organisatora ,totit tech, kteki progli celk organisadni kurs a slotili d ye poftdovane zkougky. Jina organisace zaeala s vkcvikem svkch organisatora v roku 1945 a dnes ma pies 150 dobte vycvidenkch' prodavada. Dnes v Americe mame pfes 1200 fraternalista, kteti se mohou pochlubiti, to maji titul "F. I. C.", Fraternal Insurance Counselor, kteti jsou schopni sednouti si s kterkmkoliv elovelem a poraditi mu, jak tivotni poji gteni v bratrskem spolku mate zajistiti rodine tivotni potteby a stalk pfijem v ptipadu amrti, zneschopneni, kdy toho nejvice tfeba. A tito fraternaliste s hodnosti F.I.C. vedou nejen organisaeni einnost ye svkch spolcich, ale jsou tet radci tech, kdo jsou u kormidla nebo u kidiciho kola. Kdyt redaktor byl podruhe v Purdue, byli tam atednici a funkcionati od tfech velikkch americkkch bratrskkch organisaci.

Jestli staves domnenka, ze nas minulk sjezd men pfemrStene nebo nedosatitelne kvalifikace pro na geho budouciho statniho organisatora, redaktor je toho nahledu, to potadovane kvalifikace jsou vlastne nejnitgi povinnost a nejsnadnejgi podminky Neptijmete do banky eloveka, kterk neumi spoeitati tii sloupce eislic.

Nezjednate pro gkolu ueitele, kterk nema uditelskk certifikat. Na g organisator, kterk progel kurs za tfinact dna, potteboval jen jegte etyti hodiny, aby slotil zavereenou zkougku. Tem sedmi jinkm, kteti kurs dokoneili, se zkou gka nenabidla.

Dnes i na vypraveni pohibu musite miti certifikat a zkou gky. Nag stAtni organisator muss miti nejake vysveddeni Tak se to provadi u jinkch bratrskkch spolkil s velikkm aspechem a neni to tetke.

Nasi vedouci, kteri byli loni pritomni zasedani Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu v Dallas, nebo letognimu zasedani Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu v Galvestonu, dostali dobre pokyny, co se od vrchnich organisatora potaduje. U vetgich bratrskkch jednot vyda.vaji zvla gtni organy jen pro organisatory. Krome toho katda vet gi organisace svolava jednou do roka gkolu organisatoril, kde hlavni organisator nebo nekterk jeho podfizenk vyueuje celk tkden a informuje organistitory o v gech duletitkch bodech a novotach. To O'ak je tit pro ty, kteti pro gli organisaenim kursem, zkoug ky a maji zaeateeni pfekatky za sebou. K temto bodam se i nagi organisatoti brzy dopracuji. Redaktor ma pevnou nadeji,ze v nasledujicich dvou nebo ttech letech bude na ge organisaeni Cinnost na arovni tech, kdo nas o nekolik rokil ptedskoeili. Jen vytrvat. Jen se sami musime stale ptiueovat.

Ve stredu dne 8. prosince 1954.

ZPRAVY A OHLASY ZDISTRIKIT Z TitETIHO DISTRIKTU Waco, Texas Mile sestry a bratti: Sediria sclafize fretiho distriktu byla zahajena predsedou Sid Pokladnikem o pul jedenacte hodine rano, 21 listopadu, ye Fort Worth v sini Bohemian Club a Indy eis. 92 a cis. 154 byly na gi hostitele.

Maji velice peknou a fitulnou sin a vgem se to libilo.

Ptednesli americkou vlajku a vzdali jsme ji Cest; potom byla zazpivana "Star Spangled Banner" a po eesku "Kde domov mtij".

Nekolik deti zazpivalo uvitaci pisen a bratr Bartek, predseda radu 'Cis. 92 nas uvital piihodnou tea Ptedseda Marek od Hlavni nradovny a nag' redaktoro Valeik byli pfitomni a ten reditel druheho distriktu, bratr til; od ttetihO, bratr Cervenka a od pateho bratr Skrabanek.

Vgichni utednici od distriktu byli ptitomni. Nekteti museli z daleka prijet a je to od nich chvalitebne.

Nag tad Cis. 66 z Waco mel jenom 5 Menu ptitomnYch jak schfize zaeala, a pri odpolednim zaseclani bylo 0 5 vice.

Sedinnact radii bylo zastoupeno a bylo dosti velke shrornaldeni.

Nejstar gi bratr ptitomen byl 78 rokil star a 3 byli po 74 roka stab.

Bratr a sestra Otto Hanu govi prijeli a'Z ze San Antonia a redaktor Valeik a man'telka a sestra Olexova prijeli z Houstonu.

Bylo 9 organisatort a 9 dopisovatelei pritomno.

Bratr Ho gek pfeeet1 protokol z posledni schfize v Ennis a v gechno bylo v poradku.

Tez od osta.tnich distriktii bylo nekolik elem pritomno a jsme radi, ze k nam se prigli podivat.

Vgichni elenove povstali p11 vzpomince na zernteleho spolubratra C. H. ChernoskYho, nageho lakvaleho predsedy Hlavni tradovny a prali mu zem lehkou.

Nekolik dopist bylo eteno, co nekteti elenove poslali navrhy.

dobrY °bed byl podan a v gem sestram dekujeme za jejich namahu. V gem chutnalo a kava se dobte hodila, protole bylo trochu chladno na ledove napoje.

Tak meli pane ty stoly upravene a vypadalo to jako Boma. Tez bratr ptedsada Pokladnik pcdekoval radii Cis. 92 za takove mile pohosteni a v g em co rneli s tim co delat a v gem kuchatkam.

Velice pekne se jim to yydatilo od °boil radu, Cis. 92 a els. 154 a tak diky v gem neastnikUm. Byly ocievalany "door prizes" a site sestra Hrabina dostala to oveieku, asi to byl "cake".

Sestras Frances Baleja dostala tteti a to nevim co to bylo.

Bratr Marek mel prvni 'fee odpoledne o bratrstvu a ukoneil s tou myglenkou, abycliom vgichni pracovali dohromady pro dobro vgech.

Tato pani byla vdovou neco okolo 15 let a byla man2elkou profesora Frank Kadanka ktereho jsem poznal na, sjezdu SPJST v East Bernard v race 1936.

Back in December 1929 we started the Juvenile Department with only one type of certificate, the "J-T" class, with $500.00 protection. It had a graduating scale with the full amount of benefits being paid at the age of 13.

The policy was issued more or less on experimental basis. Twelve years later, the benefits were doubled, and the rates were also doubled. About a year ago, Brother Mims, our actuary, was contacted relative to the increase of benefits. He informed us that the reserves of the "J-T" certificate were sufficient to do almost anything we wished with it.

The benefits were raised. Full explanation was given to all the organizers who attended the organizers' schools in Houston, East Bernard, El Campo, Hanettsvine, Nelsonville, Caldwell, Corpus Christi, Taylor, Temple, West, Ennis and Dallas. Up to that time, the other certificates for children were more attractive.

The "J-T" certificate was not popular because it did not offer enough protection. When we increased the benefits, the sale of the "J-T" certificate was nine times greater. But your editor, who has done some computations and investigations, believed that we could increase the benefits still higher.

more. The outcome was that the "J-T" certificate offers now more than ten times more protection at certain ages than it did a year ago. The new provisions apply to every "J-T" certificate, regardless whether issued today, yesterday, a year ago, or several years back.

The new benefits will make the "J-T" certificate exceptionally useful for those families where the cost of endowment certificates' are prohitetive, too expensive for the poor pocketbook.

• • AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING, your editor did not receive the complete and final report of our actuary, but soon as he gets it, he will publish the information. It may be definitely stated that any three-year-old child will get full protection of one thousand for only 40 cents a month. The protection for a child lounger than three years will be somewhat lower, but it will be more than ten times greater than it was before.

•

SO FAR THIS YEAR WE HAVE ISsued 179 certificates of the class "J-T".

With the increased benefits, we should also increase the volume of sales. The month of December should equal, if not exceed„ the total amount of the preceding months. It gives the lowest possible rates, guarantees insurance of one thousand on any healthy child at the age of three, and builds up substantial cash bonus to be applied later when the youngster is ready to join the adult group.

WE NEED EVERY LOCAL ORGANizer to put out a special effort to abtain more children with the new "J-T" benefits. We may have the best certificates.

We may have the best officers at the headquarters. But we don't get too far without you, who secure new members.

We do not get anywhere without the willing workers who get for us new business. Some of our local organizers did not like the old "J-T" •certificate. Your editor worked hard to put into effect the new benefits. You should like the certificate now. You should get some re• • sults before the month is over. Please, WE WENT TO CONSULT WITH, AND remember, that we have only about 900 to ask advice of, Brother Minis once "J-T" certificates in force. We should

have not less than 5,000. We need your assistance in the campaign during December. We want to increase the "J-T" class.

• • THERE IS ANOTHER POINT WHICH should be mentioned. We should see to it that every SPJST member gets an increased protection. We have too many members who have only $500 or $1,000 certificate. They are never, never approached by our organizers. Is it so hard to explain to a member the service of the SPJST? Is it easier to talk to a nonmembere about the benefits derived from our organization? The members know, or should know, what we do, who we are, and that our rates are much cheaper than the commercial life insurance companies have. So we should go back and sell more insurance to our own members. * * ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IN ONE OF the district meetings, a member approached your editor with a suggestion that the SPJST should have some of the modern insurance certificates. He complained that he would take out more insurance if he could get the type that would be paid, say, within twenty years or when he is sixty-five years old. Your editor thought that he would get angry and • hout. "Don't you ever look in the Vestnik? Don't you see the column HAVE YOUR CHOICE?" But one gets used to taking too many things for granted. If we understand something, it doesn't mean that everybody understands it just as well.

• • SINCE YOU AND I JOINED THE SPJST, quite a few changes have been made. We should discuss them in our meetings. We are training our organizers to go to the local lodge meetings and make a few speeches. We want our organizers to inform our members all the time about some new things. We count on our organizers to do a lot of free work, and by doing so to pick up plenty of new members. And to sell more insurance to the old members. We have too many officers and too many delegates with only five-hundred certificates.

ur Youth Motvr,)nien ti ,-By birdie Washer -Atofeeeeilljt

When over two years ago I accepted the appointment to establish and organize the YOuth Movement of the SPJST, I was rather hesitant and uncertain of the chances my efforts had in essaying the task of successfully reviving a completely inactive fraternal life of the children in my society There was absolutely nothing to work with No procedure of the Youth Counselors activities was outlined, no material for quarterly issues of programs was available. There were no Youth Directors and Assistants, no District Youth Supervisors and Assistants, there were no standardized directives of the duties and responsibilities of these Youth Movement officials, there was no interest in the local lodges for the Youth Movement, there ware hardly any children.'active or interested in our fraternal life, simply there was absolutely no Youth Movement.

All I had was the authority to represent the SPJST Youth Movement at all conventions of the Youth Counselors in order to observe how other organizations were handling the Youth Movement project and then use my own ingenuity to formulate and permanently organize an active SPJST Youth Movement.

To accomplish this commission, first I drafted a chart of the Youth Movement personnel, creating the essential official positions which would cover and promote the smooth and efficient perlormance of my Youth Movement schedule throughout the state. Secondly, I planned and laid out a Youth Counselors program which included the following objectives: i. Officially induce by order of the Supreme Lodge the appointments of Youth Directors and Assistant Youth Directors in every lodge where the establishment of a Youth Movement is feasible.

2. Evoke, through editorials the interest of the general membership and t be parents in our Youth Movement.

3. Present, through special articles in my column in our organ, the Vestnik, the advantages of the many activities of our Youth Movement to the children

of our membership: 4' District Meetings in order to stimulate the interest and enthusiasm in the Youth Movement through addressing the meetings and helping with individual technical problems. It is at these meetings where I was most successful to have the greatest number of Youth Directors appointed by the officials of their lodge, and to stimulate and create interest of the membership in establishing a "Youth Movement" in their local lodges 5 Attend quarterly meetings of the Supreme Lodge (as is required in the Youth Counselors appointment) in order to discuss the many organizational problems and to present a report on the proceedings of my Youth Movement Program.

6. Help directly —when needed—any problems of the Youth Movement in each respective case. This activity, as the popularity of the Youth Movement increases, requires steady correspondence of many letters each day, and together with the large number of requests from the Youth Directors and the general membership to obtain for them and send out diversified matter and articles, makes this a full time job. I lay great emphasis on this stimulation of the Youth Movement leadership—w- tich is so needed as one of the most important responsibilities of the Supreme Lodge.

7. Suggest fund raising events for the benefit of the Youth Movement in every lodge providing in this way the means for the acquisition of needed equipment, so that the lodges would be helping themselves, and not depend on grants from the Supreme Lodge.

8. Prepare and write a set of new bylaws for the Youth Movement including procedures to be executed in performance by the children; a ritual of new members initiation including many good natured initiation merriments containing our SPJST Youth Movement Creed, and the SPJST Charter.

9. Write original proceedings for the election duties and responsibilities of the Youth Directors and Assistant Youth

Wednesday, December 8, 1954 Directors including a complete set of helpful ideas for the very first steps to be taken in organizing a Youth Movement in a lodge; way of handling the first meeting, and securing attention, means of advertising the Youth Movement together with a specimen letter to be mailed to every school in the community, to local newspapers, radio stations, chamber of commerce, etc., and including ideas of the many possible recreational activities and methods to be employed for the raising of funds for the benefit of the Youth Movement of each Lodge 10 Appoint District Youth Supervisors, and Assistant District'. Youth Supervisors from selections made by the board director member of each District.

11. Write proceeding directives of the District Youth Supervisor and the Assistant District Youth Supervisor and their responsibilities.

12. Issue a quarterly program "Summer", "Winter", `Spring", and "Fall" of each year suitable for every month and of approximately 40 to 60 pages of suitable material both in English and Czech for the performance by the children of the Youth Movement. This to include plays,' poetry, games, songs, dances, musical productions, and musical games, and suggestions for diversified activities such as sports, lecturers, singing, dancing, art, establishment of monthly birthday parties, etc., and including a letter of instruction and suggestions to the Youth Director in each Program.

Because of the scarcity of suitable material, this necessitates many hours of research, adaptations, re-arranging, and the creating of original new ideas and compositions, giving the children something they LOVE to do—new and different.

13. Take initiative in leadership ideas, such as the establishment of a "summer camp" for the benefit of the whole membership—adult youth, recommendation for the purchase of playground equipment by the individual lodges providing amusement for the children while adult meetings are in progress, etc.

14. Present insurance promotional ideas for the Youth Movement (as I have discussed in detail in "My Observations from the National Fraternal Congress" 1954 Atlantic City repoted a few weeks ago in the Vestnik) securing through them an open approach for our organiZers 15. Recommend the official appointment of all Youth Movement Officials as organizers, giving them thereby an opportunity of financial reward for their Youth Movement work through their

Wednesday, December 8, 1954 contacts with the parents of new children members and their friends.

16. Represent with dignity the Youth Movement of our organization in the fraternal world state and national, give lectures and address the high official meetings gaining thereby distinction and prestige for our society.

17. And not necessary as a part of the Youth Counselors duties, but as an adjunct to the position, bring cultural ideas of interest into existence—such as the establishment of Choruses,— adult and youth— presenting Czech folklore in sponsoring the performances of the national "Beseda" and other Czech dances, and organize recitals and exhibitions by membership of our singing, art, and dancin g classes.

Such cultural activities will definitely gain prestige and new membership for our society and revive and stimulate the interest in fraternal life in the general membership, contributing in this way to the security of the future of our organization.

This agenda comprises many hours of intense work, but cannot and does not cover the multitude of details present in the executive procedure of the daily routine of the Youth Counselor of our organization, which has become more than a full time job.

I have absolved all the listing goals with one exception. Still in the original manuscript, unprinted, is all the instructive material for Youth directors, District Youth Supervisors, the Youth Movement Bylaws, rituals, charter and creed. The manuscript is comprising of about 40 to 50 pages which I had intended as a gift.

No other fraternal organization has anything even remotely matching the completeness and the scope of this Youth Movement work of original, scientific and psychological approach with tersely and concisely written contents abounding in thoroughly essential subject matter.

THE CAL WELL SPJST CHORUS It wasn't a bad idea to have the high school girls of Caldwell, under the direction of Mrs. Guy Douglass, to perform at the Texas Fraternal Congress in Galveston as representing the SPJST. Not a bad idea at all.

But we have to give full credit to Brother John Stefka, member of New Tabor Lodge, for presenting the problem of financing the SPJST publicity.

It was he who suggested that the SPJST members in Caldwell should step in since no help was coming from elsewhere. And the members of New Tabor Lodge wanted to finance the entire undertaking. It, was only after some discussion that the original motion was amended to chip in $25 as a start. Good for you, members of New Tabor. This is a compliment to you Now, let us see what the Caldwell News, from the pen of Editor Fall, had to say about the publicity which the SPJST received. Before the plans were made the Caldwell News came out with this story: When the Texas Fraternal Congress meets in Galveston next week, a special treat on the program will be furnished

by Caldwell talent representing the SPJST. Mrs. Birdie Hilsher, State Youth Counselor, Houston, telephoned Mrs. Guy Douglass recently and invited her to bring her girls' chorus to appear on the program (with all expenses paid) in the Grecian Ballroom of Hotel Galvez on Wednesday, November 17 for the convention. Mrs. Hilsher explained that the chorus had been highly recommended to her and that she had been investigating their achievements since they sang for the district SPJST Convention in New Tabor on September 18.

She asked "Miss Kate" to have her girls ready for an audition in Caldwell last Saturday night so that she could hear their repertoire and select two sings for the program. After listening to the numbers,- she chose not only two, but six numbers for her program in the Grecian Ballroom on November 17. Miss Kate's chorus is composed of 13 lovely high school girls with lots of melody •and harmony in their singing. Miss Hilsher praised Mrs. Douglass in her contribution for the young people in the community by working with the chorus and developing such high standards of interest.

RETURN CALL The phone shrilled in the middle of the night, and I groggily picked up the receiver. It was a long-distance call. My heart hammering, I heard, "Is that you, Son?" "Mom! What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong." I could hear mother chuckle. "Its your birthday."

"Holy smokes! You didn't drag me Then the week of the Texas Fraternal out of bed at 3 a.m. just to say Happy Congress convention the following article Birthday, did you?"

"Well, you made me get out of bed at appeared in the Caldwell News: 3 a.m. 30 years ago tonight—and I felt "Katie's Korus Goes to Galv,eston" • • "Katie's Korus," as the girls chorus it was high time I paid you back"!

under the direction of Mrs Guy Douglass is popularly known, performed in the Grecian Ballroom of the Galvez Ho: tel in Galveston Wednesday night, November 17, to entertain the Fraternal Congress composed of SPJST, Sons of Hermann and Woodmen of the World lodges attending a three-day session.

The chorus represented the SPJST Lodge of Texas for their contribution toward the entertainment on Youth Night, opening the program with four numbers. After the representatives of the other lodges had performed, the girl's closed the program with two additional numbers, and were highly received by their audience.

Mrs. A. L. Hilsher, State Director of Youth Council of the SPJST Lodge of Texas, and Mr. Hilsher, met the girls at the Galvez Hotel and personally entertained them with a seafood dinner.

Mr. and Mrs. Hilsher also contributed liberally to the fund for the chartered bus which made the trip possible for the girls. Others who contributed with cash donations toward this fund included the New Tabor SPJST Lodge, Caldwell Lions Club, Caldwell Rotary Club, First State Bank in Caldwell, Caldwell Chamber of Commerce, and Dr John E. Siptak. All of these sponsors were recognized when Mrs. Frank Batista, who sings with the group of high school girls, stepped before the microphone and read their names, giving them their due thanks and appreciation.

After the program the Caldwell group enjoyed the reception in the Grecian Ballroom with a background of dance music provided by the orchestra of Richard Bovio.

The members of the chorus who went to Galveston included Misses Ina Fay Watson, Glenda Brinkman, Veta Fall, Mary Ellen McIver, Lurae Harvey, Lillie Bell Stefka, Bettye Caroline Siptak, Ilene Cordray, Jo Schoppe, Joy Schoppe, Mary Sue Addison and Bonita Novosad, and Mrs. Batistal. Thomas Urbanovsky accompanied the group with a cornet obligato.

Chaperones for the group in addition to the director and accompanist, Mrs. Douglass, knctuded Mesdames George Fall, Ben Novosad, B. I. Addison, Jacob Brinkman, John E. Siptak, Louis Urbanovsky and Ray Harvey. °

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES LODGE STEFANIK NO. 142 Houston, Texas Dear Readers of Vestnik; Now that the Thanksgiving holidays have passed, we find ole Santa peeping at us frotn around the corner. Sincerely hope all of you had a very happy Thanksgiving.

The annual Turkey Dinner and Bazaar that Lodge Stefanik 142 sponsors every year turned out to be a big success.

Thanks to everyone that attended and the wonderful cooperation of the Members. Yes, it takes the wholehearted cooperation of all members to plan together in order to have success. We found that out from the results of our annual social gathering which is the main event of the year.

The sisters on various committees worked like little beavers. When we think of Thanksgiving we think of turkey and from turkey to something to eat, naturally we must go to the kitchen first. Our chief cooks, Sisters Anna Kovar, Anna Vaja, and Paulina Walla prepared the delicious turkey and dressing.

We had ever so many to help serve, but our faithful sister Anna Shilk saw to it that they had plenty of clean dishes.

Many thanks goes to sister Sulda the selling of tickets for the blanket and clock. Incidentally the winners were Ed Sklar, the blanket and the clock was won

by Jos. Volek. Sisters Sulda and Amelia Sturm sold the most tickets.

In charge of the cake walk was Sister M. Kunetka and Frances Sklar. When the cakes were all gone they even "walked" some very lovely costume dolls.

We had very pretty cakes and delicious I'm sure. Thanks goes to cake donors: Mary Brezina, Paulina Walla, Bohumila Sulda, Anna Kovar, Emilie Mynar, Marie Kunetka, Frances Sklar, Sylvia Kelarek, Tillie Kubin, Evelyn Jahn, C. Ermis Marie Filipek, C Tomanek, Anna Shilk, Rosie Sopjcak, and Mary Chupik.

Several of the ladies brough more than one cake, or pie or kolaches. In case someone donated and their name isn't mentioned it's because the committee failed to make a notation and I will correct it later on.

The dart board and country store was taken in charge try the Juniors. Louise Becan certainly did a wonderful job at the dart board. It is a big responsibility for if not handled in a safety way it can be dangerous. Thanks to you Louise. The country store was full of home-made items. Canned goods and home-made candy. In charge was Gayle Sturm and Charlie Chupick Jr. our Juniors also,

under supervision of Sister Amelia Sturm.

Sister Rosie Sopjcak made a beautiful purse that she sold chances on. The winner of this purse was Mrs. Frances Triska.

Last, but not least, was the Bazaar booth. Sisters Emilie Cykala and Janie Kelarek and Sylvia Kelarek were in charge. Gifts were donated by Sisters Cilny, Rodenberg, Chupik, Zahn, Kunetka, Becan, Cykala, Sturm, Walla, Kovar, Triska, Vaja, Volek, M. Jahn, Sopjcak, Cilny, Kelarek. The pot plants were very pretty and were first choice.

Acknowledgement of four other Junior workers Faye Marie Brezina and Fredrika Cilny, Kay and Ranell Sturm.

Because of illness in familise of Sisters 0. S. Vala, Lillie M. Melnar and Georgie Filipek Buchanan they were unable to attend, however we missed you all.

At this time I wish to extend a cordial invitation to each and everyone to the Xmas program at Lodge Stefanik.

ABOARD RESCUE VESSEL A short news item appeared recently in the Houston Ch ronicle about Lt. James D. Chalupnik, the younger son of Mrs. 0. A. Chalupnik, president of the Birthday Club of Pokrok Lodge No. 88. The news item briefly described that Lt. Chalupnik was aboard the attack cargo ship U.S.S. Montague during "Operation Passage to Freedom."

Your editor called Sister Chalupnik by phone for additional information. He learned that the operation involved the evacuation of thousands of Vietnamese refugees fleeing communism in southeastern Asia. The refugees, running away from an area north of the 17th parallel, were transported from Haiphong, Northern French Indo-China, to •Saigon and Cape St. Jacques in Southern French Indo-China.

We are so far from the other parts of the world, and so secured in our homes in America, that we have no idea what our own government is doing to ease and to alleviate the terrible suffering elsewhere. When an appeal was made by officials of both the Vietnamese and French governments to help evacuate native civilians fleeing the Communists in Southeastern Asia, the U.S. Navy anewered by dispatching five transport skips.

The five transports evacuated in August, 1954, a total of some 35,000 refugees from the war-torn area to relative safety some 950 miles away. Since then nearly 120,000 civilians have been evacuated to date by 40 American ships assigned to the operation. Last August, each of the five transports made three round trips.

Lt. Chalupnik sent a long, descriptive letter to his mother, living at 1045 Allston, Houston, Texas. Only the high prints of his letter can be given here. We quote: "We were the fifth ship to leave the Haiphong area with refugees. The day before these people arrived we were informed that about one thousand people were to board our ship. That was pretty jolting news by itself, but it was nothing compared to the reaction when the total came. to 2,093; and after the baby born during the loading was included, we had a grand total of 2,094. Our officers were really shaken up by the total number.

"The refugees coming aboard were mostly women (most of whom were pregnant or were carrying one or more children in their arms), childen and old folks. Some families had three generations represented. Where are the young men? My guess is that they are probably with the Viet Nam Army. I was

LT. JAMES D. CHALUFNIK

amazed to find all the officers in charge of the refugees to be so very young, only about sixteen years of age. There are practically no twenty-year-old men in Indo-China. They have been killed in the eight years of war, or have been captured and sent to China.

"Almost every refugee carried something aboard with him. The able-bodied carried large bundles. The larger children carried either some of the family possessions or one of the smaller children. Even the five-year-old carried two or three-year-old brothers or sisters on their backs. The thin little tots that could barely walk were usually carrying the family teakettle. Regardless of age, everyone did his bit, however small.

"Our ship was never intended to be a transport. It was built as a cargo ship.

Cargo holds are not ventilated. and we could not ask all those poor miserable mortals to sit out a two-and-a-half-day voyage in those hot stuffy holds. The ship carpenters have constructed special stairways (ladders) down into the holds so that we could load this human cargo.

It is somewhat impressive that the refugees on the lowest level had to climb a stairway equivalent to a three- or fourstory building when they come out to the main deck.

"We had large containers of fresh water on each level of each hold, but the major toilet facilities are located on the main deck. It is obvious that the sanitary conditions are not the best, no shower facilities for these dusty travel-

er, and the heat and the stifling odors definitely did not add pleasure to the trip. But most of them seemed content with the fact that they were heading toward free Viet Nam. "Practically all of the refugees had either diseases or parasites. Malnutrition, lack of normal sanitation, and absence of soap, water, and shoes are the major factors causing poor health conditions. A bar of soap would probably be of as much value in battling disease. as would a bottle of penicillin "Feeding over 2,000 additional people on the ship turned out to be no easy problem. Our extra guests numbered about nine times the size of our crew. The steam kettles in our kitchen were kept steaming from dawn till late at night in order to cook just rice alone. Four thousand pounds of rice had been cooked and distributed during the two-and-ahalf-day trip. They couldn't have eaten all the rice. They probably cached some of it away in their bundles for future use. We added hundred of cans of sardines and corned-beef to the rice diet with immeasurable gallons of strong tea.

We served only two meals a day.

"Something of our American character always showed itself in strange situations like this. Meals of the children were often supplemented by food smuggled from the crew's mess plus candy, cookies, etc. Small amounts of medical supplies were disappearing and ending on or in some sick refugee. Hundreds of tales of these little acts, of kindness could be told. They make One stop and think — and then thank Providence for our American heritage.

"As you could well imagine, the constant stench that goes with a couple thousand people confined to a very small and poorly ventilated space was not pleasant. However, very few complaints were heard from . the crew. As one Officer put it, 'The men sort of overlook extra work and discomfort when they feel they are doing something worth-while'.

"Upon learning of the lack of education in Indo-China and the high percentage of ignorant Vietnamese, I began to wonder. How many of these people really know what the issues are in this strange war? How many of these refugees really know from what they are fleeing? Do they know where they are going?• Do they know why the Americans are here?

Most of these poor unlearned, people don't know' most of the answers. But then, too, most of us are probably a little cloudy about some of the issues.

"Let's hope that what we are doing,

Ve stkedu, dne 8. prosinee 1954. aside from the humanitarism angle, will in some way help stave off the pending enslavement of these people. It is one of the most 'peaceful' moves made by the U. S. This operation is going to be worth many, many times its cost in helping foster good will toward the U.S. throughout the rest of the world."

Most fishermen call it the "puffer" because when frightened or in danger it has the unique ability of blowing itself up, balloon style, to many times its original size. One may laugh at the bluff of the creature—but it is deadly!

The puffer, when eaten, can kill a man in seventeen minutes—or it may be perfectly harmless. No one can tell.

Scientists studying poisonous fish caught two of the species in the same area. An extract from the meat of one killed a mouse in a matter of seconds while the juice from the other proved to have no ill effects. Why one and not the other?

No one knows.

The symptoms of puffer poisoning are unusual. First the lips begin to tingle, then the fingers and toes become numb. The victim may pull through or he may not, and he probably won't know for some time. Strangely enough, his temperature sensations may be reversed. Hot will feel cold and ice will seem warm. A Navy officer had a light case of puffer poisoning from which he had supposedly recovered. Yet a month later he was observed blowing on a dish of ice cream to cool it.

To bylo protivne a ne2 vyjel, se ienou se pohadal. Ta ho nutila, jen at' jede, ie je dobra, ka2cla, koruna, 2e jsou po yeeeki, co tedy ztrati?

Bylo treba vezti tady sousedovu dceru do nemocnice. Stonala jit celY den k porodu a doktor, kted sem pfijel z steeka, s tim nechtel nic mit. Pazdera tedy jel, ale nerad.

Vitr si podinal jako posedly- a metal mu celou cestu sypkS7 snih s takovou prudkosti do oei, 2e mu je div nevysekal: Pazdera je musel pkivirat a kdyby byla za nim chudera rodieka vzdychala a stejskala, nebyl by je ani oteviral byl by v tom neease spal.

Ty byly dosti dobre, ten horke parky.

Nu, kde jsou ta na g e colada 'eta. Tenkrat nami hrala slovacka krev, dnes se hrbatime jako Cagan.

Moji kamaradi odegli do civilu, jak husar Janko, tak Jitieek. Jirka se o2enil, nebot' z jeho hubieek se Zdefice narodil maliekY Jikieek. Jirka dostal se na panskou kovarnu v Rakousich. Husar Janko mel kovarnu kdesi loft Pre gpurku a k tomu selskY statek. Tak jsme se rozegli na jinou stranu. Ja jsem domova nemM, ale jel jsem piece k mame do Moravan; ona bYvala u gvakra.

Byl jsem doma jak na besede. Svakr se mne ptal, co budu delat a `ja povidam, 2e 2ebrat nebuclu, asi ptljdu k eetnikilm, zc jsem si zadal o to hned u vojska. Zatim si nejakou praci najdu. Byl jsem vyueenY kovatem.

Bylo to v Cas vozeni kepy do cukrovaru.

Jel jsem do Bieclavy; tam byl velkY cu.krovar a tam jsem dostal praci pri svem temesle, asi na etyti mesice.

Bylo nas tam kovatri asi dvanact. Po odbyti tepove kampane propustili ayki koyate; ja jsem postoupil a koval jsem jen kone. To trvalo aZ' do 2ni. Zadal jsem o ptidavek, ale namisto ptidavku jsem dostal vyhazov.

Kolem Bieclavy bylo veselo a viva habadej; de yeat jako kviti na louce a con pak ty hody! Ty se tam v Lan2hote oslavovaly rely tYden a v gude v tech vesnieich. Bylo mne jaksi smutno, kdy2 jsem dostal vyhazov, ale co naplat, spakoval jsem mai celY grunt do kuftiku a jegte jsem si 'g el zatancit k muzice. Ale vesela mysl mne chybela asi tim, ze jsem ztratil prani.

(Podava Jan NemY, Crosby, Texas)

V sale povida: "pkijd' zitra k nam, mo2na. Ze to tatinek sebere, neb dva tovarygi piljdou na vojnu, tak myslim, se u nas misto najde."

Muzika ustala, tak jsem milou Marygu pozval ke stolu mezi nas, kde nas seal° asi pet. Take tam sedel jejich nejstargi delnik. S tim jsem se dobte znal a ona mu to hned kekla, 2e zitra jedu pry& On, Tomag , povida: "ty ptijd' rano k nam, praci dostane g, ale ne u nas. Vim, 2e mag podkovatskou ±kou gku udelanou. Ja, vim o dobrem miste, kde hledaji zkugeneho podkovate. Ja jsem to misto mel dostat, ale je to daleko. Ja se mam 2enit a od prvniho main 02 kovarnu spachtovanou, tak to misto ti tarn pustim. Je to u nas na Hane,. u Prostejova. Je to vdova, ma dva chlapce. Jeden je asi 16 rail, druhY asi deset. Ona ma asi ke etyticitce. Vim, 2e se do ni nezabouchneg."

Ree jsme ukoneili a gli jsme taneit.

Vgechno trva jell chvilku a i ta veselost ustala. Mary gu jsem vyprovodil a2 k jejich dvetim a — s Bohem, rano na shledanou!

Tak jsem spal a2 do 8 hodin. Bytna, mi dala snidani a povida: "snad nas opustite? Povidal mne to miij mu2." Ja: "co je Mat, chtel jsem pkidavek, tak mne ho dali." Ona: "a "cam ptijdete?" Ja na to ze nevim, ino2na ze zilstanu zde nebo piljdu na vandr. Ona: "no tak — a ja jsem slygela, 2e se budete 2enit s tou Maryglcou!" — Ja: "toho se mila pani nikdy nedoekate; ta by mne nechtela a pak, jeji mama mysli, 2e pro ni ptijde nejakY princ." Ona: "Ale je to pekna deveica a neni pygna; s ka2dYm umi zagpasovat prof se ji nedr2ite? Vy jste 'kovat a jeji tata ma kovarnu. To by se vain to 'giklo."

Bylo po snidani. Ja si gel pro kni2ku a mel jsem dostat je gte nejake penize. gel jsem do kancelate, tam byl muj mistr.

Vge jsem dostal v potaclku; ja, se podival do kniZky, jake mne dal vysvedeeni a ono to bylo psane nernecky. Ja povidam, 2e chci to vysvedeeni &sky. On na to, ae oni davaji v gem delnikfim vysvedeeni nemecky. — "Ale ja chci Cesky." — tak to napsal Cesky. A ptal se mile, kam Ja mu povidam: "pane Kubieek, ja jsem se vas neptal, prof jste mne dal prye, tak se nestarejte, kam ja piljdu. A Tanen jsem s jednou holkou, ktera by- as vas aidi z odtud vykopnou, tak se mala kovakova dcera. Ta nine povida po 'Zeta otazat, kam ptijdete vy — !" On potanci, "prof jsi tak. smutnY?" Ja povi- vida, 2e mam velkou hubu, ze mohu dam: "to je proto, ae musim zitra odjet na podzim, ze mne zas vezme, 2e on za do Bieclavy. Dostal jsem vyhazov!" — to nemtl2e, 2e met natizeno dva kovake a Ona na to: "to je toho, nazi nine vyhd- dva kolate pustit. neji po kahle muzice a kdy2 chci jit prye, Tak jsem mu podekoval za vytizeni a tak mire gaty zavfou." — Ja„ na to:, "ty gel jsem do mesta k tomu kovaki a podijsi doma, ale ja domov 2adnY nemarn"! vat se na Marygku. On start' koval.

Ona: "ale pojd' tandit, at' to to aejde." nedelal. Mel tfi tovaryae a dva

On ji2 byl o mem ptijiti zpraven a povida: "jestli chce g ztistat v Bteclay e, tak musig pookat asi tYden bez grace, neb ja, delniky dr2im se etrnatidenni vYpovedi.

Ale jak vig , Anton mel odjet k me sestke tam na Hanou, ktera pottebuje podkova.: re. Vim, ae ma g zkougku odbytou, tak ti dam na cestu. Ona mne to v-rati..Jeji mu2 zemtel nahle. Pti gel z kostela a chtel obedvat a ranila ho mrtvice".

Tak to bylo domluveno. — "A2 pojedeg, tak se zde sta y, dam ti petku. Ja myslim, 26 mag na cestu dost a dones nine tvou kniZku, abych nebyl nejak ogizenY." Anton se usmal a povida: "Pane mistr, poglite s nim Marygku. Ja yam za to ruelm, 2e ti dva by se vain neztratili." Star)) kovat se usmal a povida: "On by to udelal jak ty s naii Malkou. U2 jsi u mne tti roky a ja jsem nevedel, 2e chce g si sebrat nazi Malku! Mne to donesla Yoera Maryga, 2e ji2 ma g ohlag ky namodene! To se kuje vge za mYmi zady!" Tonda povida: "ale pani mistrova vi o vgem."

On: "Jste vy v gichni stejna pakaa".

V tom vygla Mary gka a void vgech k obeclu. Ja jsem chtel odejit, ale musel jsem s nimi obedvat. Stul byl velkY, asi pro dvanact osob. Nas bylo v gech deset a to se z toho stolu v ge ztracelo, jako kdyby to hazel do studne.

Po obecle jsem si gel vge ptipravit na milj vandr a rano jsem se stavil pro tu petku. Take jsem podekoval to pani co jsem tam bydlel a a pak jsem sebral grunt a dratoval to na nadra2i. Sotva si beru jizdenku, tu prileti Mary gka i s MCIkou, ae "tatinek chce tu moji kniaku."

Tak jsem jim ji dal. Mary ga mne dala pusu na rozloueenou a ja jich vratil nekolik zpaticy — a u2 jsem uhanel na Hanou.

FRANTIgEK PALACKIT Stara pravda, ze ka2da doba radi sve vridce podle charakteru pomerti, skvele se potvrdila i v obdovi narodniho probuzeni, nebot' se prdve tehdy rozlehlo na eeskem nebi tolik hvezd a hvezdieek, nemohli naprosto zblouditi, kdo krdeeli za jejim svetlem.

A i kdy2 mnohe a mnohe z toho, co tehdejZi srdce hkalo a oktidlovalo jest pro nas dues jiz jenom prazdnSrm duchem, nutno pieci jenom hodnotiti pine jejich neinek na mysli i nitra etenatil tehdejZi doby.

Nadi narodni buditele to byli, kteii prvni razili cestu pro ty, ktetiZ krdeeli po nich jiZ na testa proklestene, urovnane.

Z techto buditelh jest FrantiSek PalackSr na miste nejptednejZim, jest i proto pravem nazS7van nejenom vehlasnSrm dejepiscem, uznan3"rm i vdemi nep •ateli i svetovSimi autoritami, cos hlavniho vZak, jest ode vkch naSich nazSrvan — OTCEM NARODA —.

Roddk z nevelike vsi Hodslavic pod ochranou nedalekeho RadhoSte, spattil tarn svetlo sveta dne 14. eervna 1798.

SkromiV tento dornek patiil ode davna rodine PalaclOch. V teto budove, kde stdla dtevend kolebka "nejvet§iho 6echa devatenacteho stoleti," byla umistena i Zkola, v ni2 jeho otec, Jiti PalackSr, byl ueitelem.

Jeho matka, Anna Ktilanova, byla nou nevdedni udlechtilosti a nehy i jeji slavnS7 syn nikdy neptestal ji vroucne vzpominati. Mimo FrantiSka, melt PalackS7ch jeSte tii syny a tti. dcery.

Otec FrantiSktiv napsal a vydal "Knikeku k vzdelavatelskemu citani, obZvldSte pro Zkolni mladeZ." Co2 divu, ze jiz jako petiletST hoch pke'et1 celou bibli a zahy lehce nauell se i nemeine, pro tehdejSi dobu nevyhriutelne pro kahleho, kdo pomSrdlel o dalSich studiich a vzdelani.

V roce 1807 zavedl jej otec do Kunvaldu za NovS7m Jieinem, v niZ ma1Sr FrantiZek nav gtevoval nejenom 'Skold mistni, nemeckou, ale i Zkolu zameckou, ureenou prO deti tamnejSiho zameckeho iitednictva.

Vroce 1809 dal ho otec do evengelickeho semi/idle v Treneine, kde si osvojil hlavne latinu a v roce 1812 jej nachazime v Bratislava (tehdejZim Predpurku), na evangelickem lyceu, z nehoZ pak postoupil na studia filosofickd,.

Tato doba, ztrdvend v dne gni Bratislaye a dneSnim Slovensku, mete se prdvein jmenovati jarem Palackeho Zivota, nebot' v ni poealy vilechny schopnosti, ukryte v mladem jeho srdci, klieiti, siliti a nasazovati na kvet.

Jest ptiznaene, ze tam, na Slovensku, bylo ,jeho narodni, citnii a uvedomeni

probuzeno. Jest to zdsluhou Pdlkoviee, ze Die piedmluvy spisovatele Guido Maria Vyskoeila k Dejinam naroda eeskeho, vydani Mazace, v Praze, 1927.

Prvni vydani je z roku 1848. uvedomoval mladeho Moravana o tehdejSich ndrodnich pomerech a kdy potorn v roce 1813 byl uveden do rodiny treneanskeho meZt'ana Bakode a kterSYZ sam mnohemu z easopisu "Videriske Noviny" nerozumel a obracel se na Palackeho za vysvetlenim., Stalo, se ze Palack sam mnohemu nerozumel a citil se, jako student laSrt zahanben, uminil si, co nejiisilovneji vyueiti se ye sve matekStine.

-Jungmanovo "Rozmlouvdni o jazyku eeskem" a vSivody tohoto ohniveho zastance mate •skeho jazyka eeskeho roznitily v mladem Palackem touhu pracovati se stejnSim naddenim pro povzneseni eeskeho jazyka.

Toto vzplanuti ptivedlo ho, ze s Palkovieem spolupracoval na vyddni slovnika Lesko-nemecko-latinskeho a ptatelil se jedine s druhy, kteti2 jako on byli oda.ni veci slovanske.

Ni tech letech se i sezndmil s Janem Kollarem i Janem Benedicti, teeeneho Blahoslav a jeho zdsluhou i se 8afaiikern.

Na jaie, v roce 1817 vychazi jeho prvni pteklad zpevil Mackphersenova a to bylo poprve, kdy se jmeno jeho objevilo v Ceske literatuke. V roce 1818 ift pracuje se 8afafikem a phsobili takcikka revoluene i ziskal si jiz uznani sameho Jungmanna, kterS72 se k nim i ptipojil a tim vzniklo hluboke ptatelstvi tii nejvynikajicich mute teto doby, ktereZ bylo dopineno v roce 1820 ye Vidni ptatelstvim — s patriarchou narodniho probuzeni — DobrovskSrm. Za sveho pobytu v 6uzu u Komarna prohloubil sve studie filosoficke, napsal "Pkehled dejin filosofie (krasovedy) a jeji literatury", je2 dosvedeuje jemnSr smysl pro ideal, jeho osobni uZlechtilost, pied niZ musel se skloniti i nejzarputile gi protivnik. Filosofie to byla, 'kterd, ozaiovala jej i kdy z filosof a stal se dejepisec.

Byl si jist, Zejedine odkaz dejin ukazujici narod ve sve slave, 'noel a sile, vzprimi opet ty, jez shrbila sila ponferfi a donuti zvednouti hlavy tech, kdo je sklaneli v beznadeji.

Proto v prvou hodinu sve prate obracel sve zraky na nejslavnejZi dobu Zesk3ich dejin — na dobu husitskou. , Ptijel tedy do Prahy, kde nasal domov u Jungmana a velikou podporu u Dobrovskeho, kterSt jej uvedl do palace hrabete Sternberka, kde se schdzivala eetnd spoleenost "osvicenske §lechty". (DobrovskSr, druhy velikan nakho naroda, v tu dobu ptesidlil do Prahy z Iiradigte u Olomouce, kde

byl rektorem arcibiskupskeho Palack3i, svSrm vzdeldnim, taktnosti a vzornS7m spoleeenskSim vystupovanim, stal se brzy stiedem teto vybrane spoleonosti a tato znamost dopomohla mu k pteklenuti mezi pralskou aristokracii a obeansk3'rmi stranami. A bylot' toho nevyhnutelne potiebi, protok moc ye statedr2ela nemecka nab ponemeild dlechta a duchovenstvo. Jenom za pomoci techto dvou panujicich vrstev mohl si dovoliti, vydavati soube2ne s nemeckS7m — i eesky psanST Musejnik, pod nazvem "Oasopis vlasteneckeho musea."

Bylo to na tu dobu velike, takika revom en! poeinani, proto& vekejne projevy a dtilleNte spisy byly prondkny a psany jenom nemecky.

V roce 1827 oknil se PalackSr s dcerou advokata dra Jana Mkhury, Terezii. Palack3i nikdy nelitoval tohoto sriatku, nebot' jeho chot' po 33 let napinovala tuto toho harmcnickeho manZelstvi Ztestim, pilvabem a teplem. SvSim znaenSrm jmenim umoZnila mu naprostou samostatnost jeho vedeckeho badani.

TS72 rok mel laSrt take jmenovan historiografem kralovstvi Ceskeho, ale pro od-. por nemecko-klerikalni S • lechty bylo toto rozhodnutim cisake zamitnuto, ttebaZo se byl na jeho jmenovani snern krdlov.stvi eeskeho usnesl.

S pomoci "eesk3ich stave" vgak se za7 kaz obeAel tim, ze ji.2, roku 1836 vySel pry, ni svazek Dejin v jazyce — nemeckem.

Timto PalackS7 ptesvedeil naraz vdechriy, ze nemohlo toto dilo sveteno byti rukam povolanefAim. V dtsledku toho nesmel ani cisaf Ferdinand odeptiti sveho hlasu novemu usneseni eeskeho snemu ze dne 2. dubna 1838. a tak koneene mu titul udelen i fifedne. ,• Vesnieti filosofove.

Dva sedldci se potkali ve meste na trhu a ptatelsky se pozdravili.
