Tento hotovSr pkijem nezahrnuje prehazovani z praVe kapse do leve kapse $400.00 mesidniho najmu, co .Hlavni aradovna sama sobe plati za pouSivani tretiho,poschodi ye sve vlastni budove. Stavebni vYbor oznamuje, Se najem skolektovanSi z budovy obna.gel $42,605.88. Jsou eislice Stavebniho vjiboru spravne? Jsou eislice bratra Urbanovskeho spravne? Nebo jsou eislice keditelft SPJST spravne?

Nekdo se nekde 111Di. Myslim, Se by to melo bj",ti elenum vysvetleno. Na torn nezo,le21, kdo to vysvetli, ale &slice by mely bS7t stejne a spravne.

Take by dleniim melo bj"rt vysvetlene, jak veliky eistji prijem nese nam budova SPJST. Dle eislic ye Vestniku (a jine dislice nemam), za 18 mesicit (a jine diprijem dela na hotovosti $6,089.64. Kdy2 najemne bylo $36,618.78, a kdy2 yjilohy s yydrSovanim byly $30,529.14, tak eistSr zisk za rok a pal je jenom $6,089.64. A kdyS mame v budove investovane pies $220,000.00, tak procenta rodniho nejsou ani 2%, ale 1.8%. To je hodne men gi ne2 tech slibovanSrch 6% a lepgi.

Rad bych take vedel, prod najem z Usetiho poschodi byl zySrgen • se $188.00 na $400.00. Byly jine najmy z ySrgene podobne? Musirne sami sobe poditat vie neS jinjim? A kdo vlastne pronajima vgecky mistnosti v budove? Kdy'S se budova pisedelala a opravila, aby byla moderni, prod neni prazdna, mistnost pronajmuta?"

V prvnim odstavci shora uvedeneho citatu je uclamo: "Stavebni vSitor oznamil, Se nage nova budova, ye ktere sidli Hlavni aradovna v Temple, Texas, nas stala do 1. kijna 1954, celkem $221,314.56". Udane eislice jsou spravne, ale datum to zpravy melo bjiti udano co 12. kijna 1954, neb datum to schilze. Cena budovy citoYana v druhem shora, uvedenem odstavci, br. UrbanovskYm pod datum 1. kijna 1954, co $220,928.59, je take spravna,, proto Se mezi 1. kijnem 1954, datum zpravy br. Urbanovskeho a 12. Nita 1954, datum schtize Hlavni aradovny a datum zpravy Stavebniho vjiboru, Hlavni frradovna zaplatila kontraktorovi, kter3i postavil na vrchu budovy misto pro ritzne stroje potrebne k pohonu na gich elevatora, atd., obnos $385.97, a tim se z y3'r gila cena budovy z $220,928.59 na 1. fajna, na $221,314.56 na 12. fijna 1954.

Ve stfedu, dne 26. ledna 1955.

Najemne skolektovane na budoitt od 1. dubna 1953 do 1. eervence 1954 obnaklo $42,605.88. VSechny vYlohy s vydrZovanim a udrZovanim budovy obna,Sely $28,711.31, take zbylo distal() prijmu z najemneho budovy, $13,894.57, za to same obdobi. Lituji toho ale velice, ze v myth vSrnatcich z protokolu rijnove, 1954, schtize Hlavni tradovny ye Vestniku nasledujici Cast horej gi vety "$28,711.31, take zbylo eisteho pfijmu z budovy" byla nedopatrenim vynechana pri prepisovani.

V tisetim odstavci shora uvedeneho citatu elanku br. Kadleeka on udava, Se "vYlohy s yydrSovanim budovy do 1. ledna 1954 byly $16,192.54. Stavebni vjibor podal zpravu, ze vSrlohy lofiskeho a take letogniho roku byly $13,894.57. Reditele oznamovali, Se vDohy jenom v lonskem roku byly pies gestnact tisic a Stavebni vS7bor udava s letogkem pies tilt-tact tisic."

Obnos $13,894.57, kterS7 on udava, byly vS7lohy loftskeho a take leto gniho roku, die zpravy Stavebniho yjiboru, povstal z toho, ze ye vjinatcich protokolu kijnoye, 1954, schaze Hlavni iikadovny ye VCstniku byl vynechan pri prepisovani radek $28,711.31, talde zbylo eisteho prijmu z najemneho s budovy", jak jsem jiz shora vysvetlil.

Na jeho udani, 'Se ye Vestniku ze dne 5. kvetna 1954, ye zprave reditelft bylo uclano, ze yjnohy s vydrSovanim budovy do 1. ledna 1954 byly $16,192.54, chci to je spravne. Na jeho poznamku, "kdyS seeteme cislice uverejnene v mesienich zpravach za devet mesica v tomto rote, napodital jsem toho $14,336.60", mu odpovecieti nemohu, ponevadS ja nevim, kde on ty eislice nabral . Die na gich knih vflohy s yydrSovanim na gi budovy od 1. ledna 1954 do 1. kijna 1954 obna gely $12,518.77.

V patem odstavci br. Kadleeek pile, "br. UrbanovskSr oznamuje ye sldrch mesidnich zpravach najemne z budovy od 1. dubna 1953 do 1. kijna 1954, najemne dela $36,618.78", take odpovedeti nemohu, ponevadS se to neshoduje s nagimi knihami. Nage knihy dosvedeuji, Se najemne z budovy za tu clobti obna gelo $42,605.88, tak jak to bylo ye zprave Stavebniho vflporu oznameno.

Na sedmSi odstavec olanku br. Kadledka jine odpovedi neni, neS Se za obdobi od 1. dubna 1953 do 1. isijna 1954, neb za rok a pal, najemne z budovy prineslo $42,605.88. Vjilohy s yydrSovanim a ucirSovanim budovy obnagely, za to same obdobi, $28,711.31, talde zbylo eisteho ptijmu $13,894.57. Kdy'S to poditame, kolik ft •oka nam na ge investice $221,314.56 v to budove prinesla za tu dobu rok a pill, tab to dela asi 4.2% aroku rodne.

Na dotaz br. Kadledka, prod najem z tretiho poschodi, ktere Hlavni aradovna pottebuje pro svoji aradovnu, byl zvjigen

Ve stredu, dne 26. ledna 1955. z $188.00 na $400.00, odpovidam, ze najem ten nebyl zy ST gen. V tu dobu kdy to bylo oznameno ye Vestniku na poeatku roku 1953, ze najemne z ttetiho poschodi obnagelo $188.00 mesiene, treti poschodi to budovy bylo tomer* prazdne, ponevan nekolik najemnika se z neho odstehovalo do budovy Prvni Narodni Banky, ktera byla ktatce pied tim dostavena, a nekteti se ptestehovali na jine poschodi v budove. To bylo kratce pied tim nd se zapoealy opravy na ttetim poschodi pro Hlavni atadovnu, a to zajiste nebyl za tech ekolnosti spravnY odhad rentovni ceny ttetiho poschodi. Kdy'Z jine poschodi v budove .se pronajimaji za $400.00 mesiene a vice, tak tteti poschodi ma. take ,tu cenu pro najem, bez ohledu na, to, kdo ho ma v najmu.

Najem $400.00 mesiene, kterY Hlavni atadovna sobe poeita za treti poschodi v na gi budove, neni ptehnanY, ye skuteenosti je trochu ptinagi jine poschodi v budove, die nynej gi sazby. K tomu Hlavni aradovna potrebuje pro skladigte neb ulokni raznYch potteb, starch zapisfi, atd., polovic sklepeni (basement) v budove, za ktere neplati Z'adnY dal gi najem.

Hlavni atadovna SPJST poeita, sama sobe z Fondu na Vydani $400.00 mesiene co rent ne proto, ze by chtela nekoho g alit s pfehazovanim eislic, ale proto ze zakon ptedpisuje, ze Hlavni fitadovna musi vesti svilj obchod za jistS7 obnos, kterY nesmi prevy govati jiste procento amrtnich poplatkii, ktere Hlavni aradovna roene skolektuje, atd., ktere procento penez statni zakony dovoluji sebrati z amrtniho fondu a prenesti ho do Fondu na Vyclani a upottebiti je na placeni vydani. Placeni najemneho $400.00 mesiene za nagi ritadovnu je east toho vydani, ktere je vyplaceno z Fondu na Vyclani.

Kdyby Hlavni firadovna nepoeitala sama sobe primerene najemne pro jeji fitadoynu v budove, tak Odbor Poji gteni by si to mohl vykladati, ze Hlavni aradovna tim se chce vyhnouti neb obejiti omezeni na vYlohy neb yydani, ktere zakon stanovi a dovoluje.

Mimo jedne inistnosti vhodne pro jakYkoliv obchod na prvnim poschodi, cela budova je pronajata. Zajiste je to gkoda, k kahle misteeko v budove neni zrentovane, ale ye skuteenosti a ze zkugenosti vime, ze se neda oeekavat, ze kaZdSr posledni etvereeni palec bude valycky zrentovan v kterekoliv budove, ye kteremkoliv meste neb miste, nic vice nd je mok no okkavati, ze kaZdY posledni dolar nageho amrtniho fondu bude valy uldenY (investovanY), aby ptina gel firoky. To je neco, co neni moZno dociliti.

Sestry a bratti, dovolte mne, co tajernniku Hlavni aradovny SPJST, prednesti k y am prcisbu, za v gechny eleny Hlavni Uradovny a take za sebe, a ta prosba je

WEST, TE

Ve sti:edu, dne 26. ledna 1955.

DOPISY A NAHLEDY CLENC TY NA g E NOVE MYgLENKY. Corpus Christi, Texas My jsme jiz tak easteene nekteti dukvne zaloleni, 2e jen rnalokdy se odchYlime od tech na gich choulostiv3ich zvykti, kdy ptijmerne aneb dame souhlas nejakemu novemu nazoru, mySlence, ktera byla podano a ptinesena na scenu nek3im namisto nas samYch. Casto se stab a dosud stava, ze dobra u2iteena mySlenka nedoSla k uskuteeneni jen proto, 2e jsrne v naSi ukvapenosti nedovedli pochopit to dobre jadro obalene hlubSim povrchem. Neni vSem danST dar kvetornitivy.

Nekdy ptieinou jest, 2e osoba se nam nelibi, neudela na nas vliv, neni nam d.ost sympaticka, nelichotila nam, mluvila neb psala tvrdou pravdu, skuteenost. My takovou osobu bez rozmyslu odsoudime, neocenime dobrou vuli jeho neb jeji.

Nevezmerne si ptilditostne ani trochu toho jindy zbYvajiciho east', abychom uva2ili slova naSich spoluobeanfi, spolkovYch spolubratril, a v mySlenkach se aspori trochu zahloubali a v duchu pro2ivali a uva2ili, joke dobro neb zlo by moh lo z toho povstat.

Toto v.Se se muae vstahovat na lidskou spoleenost, na bratrske podpinne spolky a ano, i na to naSi domacnost. 6asto vybuchneme, kdy2 to nejde akorat po naSera, a pti torn se zlobime, a abychom zlobu potlaeili, v nitru nakm vznikne plaminek pomsty a planuje se, jak a kdy se ptile2itostne irplatnit i s funky.

VSude 1<:de takove: mySlenky vznikaji, touha. pomstit se, tam se dobra mySlenka, Iidske nenyn2e rychie ujimat a jest ku Skode kaalemu lidSkemu podnikani.

Dosed juke mame na gi. Ustavou zarueeno osobni pravo, kde jest nam dovoleno svobocine se vyjadkit slovem i pismem.

Tak jak si vybirame potravu k nagemu dennimu jidlu, podobne si vybirame i eetbu, osve2it a posilit se na duchu. NaS jidelni pozfistava z rtrznYch pokrmn, abychom si udrleli telesnou silu a zdravi, a k tomu jako donna& se drug strove desevni, kterd porttstava z rfiznSrch pubeveni Ve spoleenosti rodinne, spoleeenske a literarni.

Kdy2 mi nekterY pokrm nechutna, tak jej nejim, a poclobne kdy2 se mi nektera eetba nelibi, to2 ji neetu, ale zdrayST sinysl pro run-lost nahledil na to neb ono nib Septa, abych jej (to jest toho pisatele neb autora tech clank-Cr neb irvah a dopistr) nepodeenoval snad jen proto, 2e mi nekapl do noty.

Porfiznu jsme byli vychovani v nYch obdebich na rtiznS7ch mistech, v

chudem neb ye sttednim prosttedi. 'Zatim jini St'astlivci vyrfistali a praivaji ten svfij vlastni svet v pine hojnosti.

Kdy2 sestarnou, neradi pak vzpominaji na to svoje mladi, ktere v nich nemohlo zanechat to, co zanechalo v tech srdcich merle privilegovamich, lidsky soucit a porozumeni, 2e jsme piece jenom vSichni bide.

Ne vSak nag vlastni vinou, ale vinou tech mocnSTch od pradavna rozdeleni na vAechny jen vymySlene mo2nosti. Abychom se namisto uctivani •jeden druheho a milovali jeden druheho jako sebe sarneho, se &lime, tfidime, na sebe nepekne mluvime a ura2live o sobe pikme.

Dle ptani nekterS7ch elentt, meli bychom my dopisovatele v na gem rodnem eeskem jazyku ustat psat a settast ty zdedene po rodieich eeske tradice. Ty pro2ite pionS7rske leta. To obdobi kdy jsme pomahali tuto novou ptivlastrienou zem zvelebovat, udelat ji lepSi pro nak potomstvo.

Tali se: Byla by zalokna nak Slovenskd Podperujici Jednota Statu Texas bez tech naSich krajant pionS7rfi? Mame se, za to stydet, 2e mluvime a piSeme jak nag eeskS7 rodnSi cit nam v,oli? Men bychom svtij ptivod zaptit, 2e pochazime z naroda, kterS7 byl na stupni kultury vyspelejSi nez jeho sousede? Tito sousede picepadali a loupili naSi zem, nak rodiSte po staled, nejen o zemske statky, ale brali nam matetsk3'7 jazyk nasilim a donucujichni prosttedky zbavovali °bean skYch pray. Mnozi museli svoji rodnou zem opustit, neb nebylo mono vldy snaSet picikoti, a kdy2 na g rodieove a prerodieove byli donuceni temito barbarskST -mivYpady,jen2zvilynakzemitkove pomery, hledat v cizine sebezachranu, ktera jest ka2demu zivocichu vrozena, ne tak potom lidstvu, jeho my vSichni jsme tou casteckou na te zemekouli.

Ti hrobati eeskeho jazyka by ovkm lepSi poslou2ili svemu spolku, jako jest to naSe SPJST a kahla jinn bratrska, jednota, namisto kritisovat ten zbytek tech starch eeskS7ch dopisovatelti do Vestniku, kdy2 by byli ptihlasili na prvnim ste svoji &nu a pak ditky, ma-li totil tyto red aspon troSieku, a vedli s ytij spolek neb tad v tee), v ktere se mohou lepSi domiuvit. V2dyt' by jim 2adnY nebranil v joke keei svoji schfizi maji mit.

Ve Vestniku v anglicke east jest take misto v2dy, k disposici.

Posledni dva roky se hodne psalo 0 planovani do budoucnosti.

Psalo a agitovalo se o milodarech do Mottekova fondu, ktery ma sloidit co zaklad postaveni a zatizeni domova pro stare eleny nak SPJST Jednoty.

Projednavalo se, aby v budove naM. Hlavni fitadovny v Temple zatizene bylo museum.

Hlasy se taky ozY'valy a do2aduji se, by bylo ztizeno letni tabotiSte pro naSi mladel nekde na pozemku, kte4 naSe Jednota vlastni.

Take mnoho papiru bylo popsano o to nagi nemocenske podpote. 0 hnuti na geho Odboru mladde.

Nyni se zase v nakm eeskem tisku objevila nova mySlenka nadaeni, kde se ma, sebrat dostateena suma penez, aby pak z firoku mohl bYti vydr2ovan profesor, ktery by vyueoval eeStinu a sloyanske jazyky ptihlaSerVch studentii v Texasu.

Korporace se schvalenim statu Texas jest ji2 zalo'Zena a jmenuje se °The Czech Educational Foundation of Texas." Profesor John Sktivanek stoji za tbmto hnutim. Nekteti se tali: Kde a co podnika, Profesor Mieek?

Mnoho jinych mySlenek bylo otMeno v torn nakm Vestniku, ktere jak rychie se tam objevily, zase tak rychie se zapornely.

Neni jen tak snadne propagovat nove mySlenky u starSich dopisovatelt, starS7ch to lidi, neb tyto se te2ko ujimaji.

Col jest take ptieina, ae tito se obeas uchyluji k popisu tech zaSlYch east, kde se porfiznu probijeli jim usouzenSun 2ivotern, ku kteremu bylo zapottebi mnoho energicke sily, nejen duSevni ale i telesne. Ti, kteti prisli, jak se tekne do hotoveho, neradi slySi, co jejich ptedchildcoye museli prodelat.

Dne 11. ledna 1955 mesto Corpus Christi mein zde vthcnou navStevu. Paid Eleanor Rooseveltova byla zde pozvana nekolika rtIzn3imi dobroeinnYmi institucemi, kde u ptilditosti teenila pro tyto neely. Dostalo se ji mnoho ovaci. Bylo ji polokno k zodpovedeni mnoho otazek, a k uspokojeni obecenstva na kadou nevyhYbave odpovedela.

Uzavereend otazka, proe se jeSte venuje te2ke ne ydeene praci v jejim pokroeilem veku v zale2itostech yetejneho odpovedela: "Sporne otazky mne netrapi." Pak k tomu dodala: "Ja, jsein 70. Ja Ziji osamocena a ja, main 112 jen nekolik let ponechanY. ch. Jd se mnohem lope eitin, 2e kdy2 nem> delam, 2e delam to sPravne a dobte, ne2 kdy2 nedelam nic."

Proto nekritisujme lehkovane ty naS'e sestarle bratry a sestry, neb oni se take citi, 2e delaji neco vice ne21i ti, co nepiSi a take Mali jen to nic.

Vidi-li nekdo nedostatky v eethe v naSem Vestniku, mei by sahnout po peru a pomoct takto doplfiovat, po ptipade zase to, v eem on ma zalibu a zajem. thlame si stare dopisovatele a ziskej-

Ve stfedu, dne 26. ledna 1955. me nove a takto spojenSimi silami spice dosahneme u etenaka vet gi popularity y nagich dasopisech.

Ctenake by take ovgem zajimalo, kdy nekterST ten kritik by nam povedel, jakou pojistku drZi v nag i Jednote a jak mnoho dal svojich ditek do Jednoty pojistit.

KdyZ se zamyslime, tak mame pfedstavu, Ze nam chybi v gichni ti; kteki Innohokra.te stavali po na gem boku praci spolkove, kterd neni a nebude dokoneena a neustale 'deka na pilne rude prislugneho elenstva a doplriovani noveho elenstva.

Pkanim •mojim jest, by jen ty dobre myg lenky jsme Zivili, aby nam Mohly svitit na cestu spolkoveho bratrstvi a krajanskeho pratelskeho spoluZiti.

Miti stoprocentni rodinu v na gi Jednote, jest tim nejlep gim prikladem ukazat cestu do budoucna, a pak mute svedomi techto odpoeivat v pokoji.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR IN THE LAST MEETING OF THE SUpreme Lodge, held on January 10, your editor was relieved of the responsibility of instructing the local organizers. In the following meeting, held on January 17, it was agreed to hire two state organizers. This will give our readers new varieties of articles about life insurance, because when an organizer is employed, it will be his duty to write such articles, according to Article 64. In the meantime, you will have to tolerate the MUSINGS. • • WHEN A PASSENGER SHIP MEETS A disaster at sea and the order is given to abandon ship, and the passengers to take to the life boats, the cry goes up "Women and children first." That has long been the tradition of sailing men the world over. That motto should be in the mind of every organizer of the SPJST when he is offering one of the SPJST certificates to a new prospect. We should think of women and children first. That refers to what the insurance people call "income insurance," income for the children during the growing-up years. It should be income for an education to prepare them to compete with others for the more desirable jobs. It may be income that will give them the benefit of a full-time mother who otherwise must obtain a job outside the home in order to support her children. When we talk to a prospect, we must show him the basic need. We must remind him that women and children come first.

• AS A RULE, MR. GEORGE PROSPECT is a decent sort of fellow. Otherwise, we would not care to invite him to join our SPJST, because we would not feel free to call him brother. He loves his family, the same as we do. The welfare of his wife and his children is of vital concern to him. That's why he is working so hard that you cannot find time to catch him at home and talk to him. He wants to provide a better way 'of life for those he loves.

day grind does not leave him too much opportunity to be thinking about life insurance. You may be sure of one thing: He does not understand and appreciate life insurance as you, the SPJST organizer do. Look at some of our own members. Even they don't understand the value of life insurance, otherwise they would have secured more than a one-thousand-dollar certificate. That's why you have a selling job to do to George who is not a member, to John who is a member, and even to one of your officers who does not think to increase his one thousand.

• THE EXPLANATION ABOUT THE value of life insurance must always be handled with understanding. Not just understanding that the SPJST offers thirteen kinds of certificates for adults, or just understanding of the rates and tables, but the understanding of human nature. We must understand people as well. We must understand Mr. George Prospect. Not all men will react the same way to our explanation about the value of life insurance. We must remember two basic things when talking to George about the SPJST insurance: First, he is the most important man on earth to his family. He knows it. Make him understand that we, too, know it.

He is the man of distinction where his family is concerned. The well-being of his entire family depends on him.

FAMILY INCOME INSURANCE IS never discussed in one lump sum. We are discusing the need for income, not so many thousand dollars of capital. It is true we are now limited in the SPJST to the maximum of ten thousand dollars. Even at that, ten thousand sounds to George like a big sum of money. But if we talk to George about $75 or $100 a month for ten, 15, or 20 years of steady income, he can see that it is very little in comparison to his regular monthly wages. Family income insurance is always discussed as a monthly income,

HERE THE USE OF VISUAL AIDS is invaluable. The Supreme Lodge ailproved "income insurance" by adopting monthly payments on all types of certificates if the total amount of insurance is three thousand or more. Any member who now has $3,000 or more of insurance may request that the death benefit to his family be made in monthly payments instead of one lump settlement. The payment may be either so much per month' as long as it would last, or monthly payment for ten, 15, or 20 years, or • for life. The tables were figured by our actuary about a year ago, and have been in operation since April, 1954. The advantages of monthly "income insurance" on all SPJST certi-! ficates should be used by every organ-. izer. By proper use of the printed tables that show "monthly income" we can SECOND, WE CANNOT TELL GEORGE show our members and our prospects the how much life insurance he should own. proper value of life insurance.

That's for him to find out. He must tell us. To get him to do it, we must ask him what he intends to do for his family if WHENEVER THE EXPLANATION OF he lives. He is bound to have some idea what he is working for. When he has the SPJST insurance is being made,' explained his objectives, we can ask him it should be directed to the prospectts what is the minimum he wants to do wife as well as to the prospect him for his family if he does live. When he self. She should clearly see the problem has answered both questions, then and she will face in event of the death of her only then, we are in position to show husband. She may help decide if the him how life insurance can guarantee monthly income should be $50, $75, or what he has in mind. Then we are $100 a month, or to be spread over ten, IT MAY BE THAT GEORGE HAS ready to talk about "women and chil- 15, or more years. Once she understands given little thought as to how his family dren first", about "income insurance", the problem which she may face alone, would get along in event of his pre- income that will give the family the she usually will welcome the solution we have to offer. mature death. After all, his steady every- benefits of life insurance.

Temple, Texas Deer Brothers and Sisters: In the last meeting of the Supreme I..0O.ge was directed to answer and ex.

-plain an article which appeared in the Dee. 29, 1954, issue of the Vestnik, and which was written by Bro. E. J. Kadleee!:, member of Lodge Pokrok Houston, No, 88. This letter is, therefore, written to carry out that instruction of the Supreme Lodge.

In order to present a clear picture of the matters or issues involved without re erring to old issues of the Vestnik, I quote, in part, the pertinent part of Bro. Kadlecek's article, as follows: In the Vestnik of November 17, 1954 t here is an account of the Building Committee coming , to the meeting of the ipreme Lodge. Here is what we learn: President Marek called on the Building Committee to report. The Committee repolted that the cost of our new buildas of October 1, 1954 was $221,314.56.

That the rents collected from April 1, 1 13 to October 1, 1954, amounted to 'i42,605.88. That the total expenses, maintenance and upkeep for that period c,s $13,894.57.

In the Vestnik of October 27, 1954, La other Urbanovsky has a *report that the SPJST Building as of October 1, 1954 was $220,928.50. Who is right, Build iii Committee or Brother Urbanovsky?

Tit the Vestnik of May 5, 1954, the director, have their audit report. They say 1; the total expense up to January 1, t was $16,192.54. The Building Corn' tee reports that the total expense, 'a last year and this year, was $13,n4.57. Who is right, the directors or the Lulding Committee?

The monthly reports of Brother Urbap hvsky, from January 1, 1954 to October 1, 1954, add up to $14,336.60. Adding up nine months this year ($14,336.60) and 'tine months last year ($16.192.54), the total is $30,529.14. The Building Committee got only $13,894.57, Is the BuildCom mittee right?

Urbanovsky reported in his iuhlithly reports that the rent collected from April 1, 1953 to October 1, 1954, uni f ainted to $36,618.78. This is cash, not neludirig the juggling of $400.00 a ,month from the right pocket to the left pocket. The Building Committee reported the rents collected in cash to be

vtsirNix

WEST, MICAS

$42,605.88. Is Building Committee right?

Is Brother Urbanovsky right? Are the directors right?"

In the first paragraph of the above quotation where it is stated "the Gammittee reported that the cost of the new Building as of Oct. 1, 1954 was $221,314.56, the date should have been stated as of Oct. 12, 1954 or the date of the meeting. The figure given $221,314.56, but as of Oct 12, 1954 was correct.

The cost of the Building given in the third paragraph, quoted above, by Bro. Urbanovsky of Oct. 1, 1954 as $220,928.59 is also correct because between Oct. 1, 1954, the date of Bro. Urbanovsky's report, and Oct. 12, 1954, the date of the meeting of the Supreme Lodge, Committee report, the Supreme Lodge paid the contractor, who constructed the pent house, on, top of the building to house the machinery necessary for the operation of our elevators,etc., in the sum of $385.97, and that brought the cost of the building from $220,928.59, as of Oct. 1, 1954, to $221,314.56, as of Oct. 12, ,1954.

The rents collected on the Building from April 1, 1953 to Oct. 1, 1954, amounted to $42,605.88. The total expenses incurred, with the maintenance and the up-keep of the Building, etc., amounted to $28,711.31, leaving the net returns from the rent of the Building $13,894:57, for that period of time. I regret very much that in my excerpts from the minutes of the October, 1954 meeting of the Supreme Lodge, in the Vestnik, the following part of the above statemen "$28;711.31 leaving the net returns from the rents of the Building", was inadvertently omitted, in transcribing.

In the third paragraph of the above quotation, of Bro. Kadlecek's article, he states that "the monthly reports of Bro. Urbanovsky from Jan. 1, 1954 to Oct. 1, 1954, add up to $14,436.60. Adding up nine months this year $14,433.60 to the nine months last year $16,192.54, the total is $30,529.14." I cannot make any explanation of this item because I do not know where Bro. Kadlecek got those figures. As stated above all our records reflect that the total rents collected from April 1, 1953 to Oct. 1, 1954, $42,605.88 The rent of the third floor, which the Supreme Lodge occupies was not 'upped' from $188.00 to $400.00 monthly. At the time the report appeared in the Vestnik, that the rent on the third floor amounted to $188.00, the third floor was alinost vacant, because several of the tenants, that occupied it. moved out of the Building and moved into the First National Bank Building, which was then

Wednesday, January 26, 1955 recently completed, and some moved to other floors in the building. This was shortly prior to the time that the improvements of the third floor, 'preparatory to its occupancy by the Supreme Lodge office, were started, and, under those conditions that certainly wasn't fair estimate of the value of the third floor, for rental purposes. Since the present rental value of the other floors, in the Building, is $400.00, plus, the third floor has that value for rental purposes also, irrespective of who occupies it.

The Supreme Lodge, SPJST, charges I its Expense Account with $400.00 a month as rent, not because it wants to engage in any deception or figure juggling, but because the law presuibes that the Supreme Lodge, 'SPJST,htust conduct its business at a total cost not exceeding a certain percentage of the premiums it collects, etc., that the State Laws permit , to be taken out of the Mortuary Fund transferred to the Expense Account, and used for expenses. The payment of rent of $400.00 a month for our offices is a part of that expense, and is charged to our Expense Account.

If the Supreme Lodge did tot charge itself a reasonable rental, for its offices in the building, the Insurance Department could interpret that as an attempt, on our part, to evade or circumvent the limitations placed by law, on our expenses.

The $400.00 monthly rental on the third floor of our Office Building, which the Supreme Lodge uses for its offices, is not excessive; in fact it is slightly under the average that the other floors are rented for at current rates. In addition to the third floor, the Supreme Lodge uses, for storage purposes, onehalf of the basement, in the building, for which no additional rental charge is made.

With the exception of one store room, suitable for mercantile or business purposes, on the ground floor, the entire building is rented. Of course, it is regretable that every inch of space, in the building, isn't rented, but in actual practice and experience, it isn't reasonable to expect that every inch of space will always be rented, in any building, in any city or place, any more than it is reasonable to expect that every dollar of our Mortuary Fund will always be invested and bear interest. It just cannot be done.

Sisters and Brothers, permit me, as Secretary of the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, to present to you a plea, on behalf of every member of the Supreme Lodge, and that plea is this: If, at any time, you find some reports, in the Vestnik,

Wednesday, January 26, 1955 that in your opinion do not check or correspond with one another, before writing about it to the Vestnik, please, write the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, P. 0.

Box 400, Temple, Texas, and ask for an explanation of the matter or item involved. You may be assured that your inquiry or request will not only be appreciated but that you will be given a full, complete, detailed and courteous explanation of any matter or matters, in which you may be interested, and desire to have explained to you.

Thanking you in advance on behalf of every member of the Supreme Lodge, and myself, for your kind compliance with this request, I am, Fraternally yours, J. F. Chupick, Secretary • • To All Officers and Directors, Supreme Lodge, SPJST. Brothers: The following is a report of my official activities as Secretary of Supreme Lodge, SPJST, for the fourth quarter of 1954; beginning Oct. 1, 1954 and ending Dec. 31, 1954, both inclusive.

During the fourth quarter of 1954, we received the following 70 applications for mortgage loans and same were disposed of as follows, to-wit; (The names of the 70 applicants for these mortgage loans, amounting to $448,895.40, the location, and the description of the property, and the amount of each respective application, and the amount for which each respective application was approved is not given in this report, because of the confidential nature of such transactions.)

The following is a list of the 59 loans `that were actually closed by the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, during the fourth quarter of 1954; namely from Oct. 1, 1954, to Dec. 31, 1954, both inclusive said loans being made to the following borrowers, in the following amounts, and repayable as follows, to-wit: (The names of these 59 borrowers, amounting to $271,102.23, the amount and the repayment plan of each respective loan is ommited from this report, because of the confidential nature of such transactions.)

I present the above report of all loans actually closed during the fourth quarter of 1954 to all members of the Supreme Lodge and to the Directors, especially, for their verification and approval. I request the Directors, especially, to verify this list as I shall ask them to approve and certify, by their signature, a .similar list of loans closed when I the Directors make their semi-annual audit of the books, and accounts of the I Supreme Lodge for first half of 1954.

VLSTNiK WEST, TEXAS This semi-annual audit is to be made by the Directors, beginning on Jan. 6, 1955, on which date the Directors are scheduled to meet with me in Temple to check all the bonds and securities of the Supreme Lodge on deposit in the First National Bank and continuing on through Jan. 7th with their examination and audit of the books and records of the Supreme Lodge here at the office.

I shall also submit to the Directors for their approval, verification and signature, a similar report for the third quarter of 1954 since because of lack of time, the' Directors did not give me such verified and certified list of all the loans closed in the third quarter of 1954. I want these verified and certified lists from the Directors in order that I may have some evidence that all these loans were closed in accordance with the recommendation, approval and sanction of the Supreme Lodge, and the Directors, especially.

The preceeding report and the reports of mortgage loan applications received and loans actually closed during the year, 1954, show that during the year 1954 was received at the Supreme Lodge Office a total 'of 235 loans amounting to $1,493.879.01, of which amount $1,281, 329.01 were approved and $1,288,288.76 actually closed. During the year, 1954, we executed at the SupreMe Lodge Office 162 full releases, 14,825 receipts and a large number of partial releases and other miscelaneous legal papers. Our real estate mortgage loans during the year increased from $4,794,441.84 to $5,126,463.01, and our certificate loans increased from $490,936.97 to $514,531.02, and our bond holdings during the year decreased from $1,380,927.75 to $1,261, 824.80.

During the year 1954 the Supreme Lodge paid 224 death claims and 13 endowment claims.

The value of bonds given in this report are based on our book value and not on the par or face value of the bonds. All interest coupons on all the bonds that the Supreme Lodge owns are paid to the last maturity date so that we do not have a single delinquent bond in our portofolio.

I wish to call the attention of the Supreme Lodge that of the 225 loans actually closed and increased by the Supreme Lodge during 1954, only 63 were loans secured by farm property. For the safety of our mortgage loan investment, I think all members of the Supreme Lodge should work to the end that the proportion of our loans made on farm properties should be corrected. I realize that this may be clinical!: to achieve

Strana 13 but I hope that during 1955, we shall all work to the end that this disproportion of our loans on city property as against loans on farm properties may be corrected.

The business of the Supreme Lodge is increasing from year to year and the volunie of work to carry on the business transacted by the Supreme Lodge increases, likewise. All the books and records of the Supreme Lodge are in good shape, correct, properly systematized and everything is being filed away properly.

All the directives and instructions given to me at the various meetings of the Supreme Lodge during the year 1954, were carried out and complied with promptly, and to the best of my ability.

I have, at all times endeavored to carry on all the functions of my office with the members of our Order, as well as non-members, in such a way as to render good service to all concerned, in a fair and impartial manner and in such a way that all the dealings of the Supreme Lodge might be handled in such a way as t o reflect credit on our lushtution.

I wish to assure all the members of the Supreme tLodge of my sincere desire to work and co-operate with, at all times, with all the members of the Supreme Lodge and will continue to and will welcome, at any time, any suggestions or ideas that might increase the efficiency of the Supreme Lodge Olfico or anything connected with it.

Respectfully submitted, J. F. Chupick, Secretary • a, • t

January 19, 1955 Mr. Stephen Valcik 6402 Prague Houston, Texas Dear Brother Valcik:

Brother L. 0. Hosek, secretary of District Three, has mailed the following announcement and invitation to the organizers:

When you sit down with a prospect at his dining room or kitchen table to figure out his insurance needs and know they can be solved, where do you keep the app1 cation? Is it still in your pocket?

The greatest producers bring out the application with the work sheet oh which the data is to be gathered. They are :laid down together on the table with no attempt to 1)ide the application.

LETTERS OUR SICK BENEFIT San Antonio, Texas Dear Editor: I'm glad that you brought up the subject of sickness and accident insurance. It is a timely topic for discussion and evaluation. I can sum this up in three, ,words: we need it.

We need it because our first try was not successful, for what we had, needed improvement. We need it because seventeen top insurance companies have been accused of deceiving the public by their adyertizing and hospitalization policies.

This news appeared in an article published by Novy Domov about three months ago.

The government accuses the companies that they advertise to pay $500.00 or more for operations, or that they will pay $15.00 a. day for the duration of sicness but then they get out of paying by various provisions ordinarily printed in mall ty p e. Also, they don't say in their advertisements the policy holders are insured for just certain time, or to certain age.

This way they cheat the people out of money paid in premiums which bring the companies one billion dollars a year.

There are 25 million people in -America who have hospitalization. Novy Domov concludes by saying, "among the companies accused of not fullfilling their obligations are two in Texas, Reserve Life of Dallas, and American Life of San Antonio, and also the largest companies in America, like Mutual Life, Omaha,. ,Bankers Life, Automobile Safety, Kansas City, Commercial Life, Prudence Life, Chicago, and 'others."

On the strength of this publicity alone just. ;thinkof the possibilities for the SPJST with a sound plan for hospitalization. insurance. Most American people know that American Czechs are honest and can be trusted. They know it and often 'express it in no uncertain terms.

They even tell you of instances which have proved to them that Czechs are honest hard working people. Were they approached by SPJST representatives, they 'wouldn't hesitate long in taking out , hospitalization with us.

Then, :there are many SPJST members who have hospitalization elsewhere.

Lean just picture our operatives having their hands full writing hospitalization insurance among our members because we believe in our organization. We like it. We4now we will get whatever the policy calls for. We wouldn't have to worry!

I had in mind to bring up this subject at cur next district meet at Folresville.

I am happy that you brought it up first.

This way all the districts can discuss it prior to convention. Perhaps, something can be done even this year. If our sickness insurance could be cancelled (as it was) before convention time, why not reinstate it with a sound plan prior to convention? We need it now!

His faithful clerk smiled wryly.

"No, sir," he replied, "but I have often wondered what you would do if you had mine!"

LETTERS Corpus Christi, Texas NEW IDEAS Some of us are so used to our own thinking we don't care to listen to any talk which may change our thinking. We are tired of everyone who would create new ideas for us. We want to create ideas for the other fellow.

It happens quite often that a good idea is not accepted only because we are impatient, because we don't care to listen, or because we don't take time to get to the heart of the new suggestion.

We don't want to be partners to different thinking.

And yet, independent thinking is the most prized possession of any individual, in any group of people, in the fraternal circles, even in our own SPJST. And since we still have the Constitution of the United States, and the freedom of speaking and writing as we feel, we should put new ideas to work.

A progressive age is an age in which there are a number of new ideas and new changes. Without new ideas we would still be living the days of cavemen.

We have grown under different conditions, have received different amount of education, we have experieneed different childhood. Some of us have been more fortunate, and we don't think much about the days back. Some of us have not been so privileged, have lived under more adverse conditions, and we remember, , and then remember some more.

All the foregoing is a preface to what I wish to say: Some our SPJST members think that we should quit writing our reports in the Czech language, that we should forget the cultural traditions of our forefathers, that we should stop mentioning the hard pioneering days, or the times when America was built up as much by the hard labor of our pioneer fathers and grandfathers, as by the national language,' culture, customs, and economic aspirations of the Czech immigrants.

our.

We might as well ask: Would the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas come into being without the Czech pioneers? Do we have to quit writing about them, because they lived here fifty or sixty years ago?

The Americans of Czech descent, in the proud consciousness of their national history dating back more than fifteen hundred years, could point out to the long lines of fine homes, farms, business enterprises, churches, schools, fraternal societies, dranixbic organiza-

tions, athletic institutions, stringing across the length and breadth of the Lone Star State, and across •the entire United States. The history of those who had left their homes in Central Europe where they had been oppressed for centuries cannot be matched by any other group of immigrants. The Czech pioneers had left the land where they lived as serfs under the misrule of the House of Hapsburg, but they had not forgotten their national origin. And, after arriving, the older generation taught the younger ones the knowledge of 'their language, his-; tory, tradition, so that their sons and daughters would be familiar with the democratic ideals of their forefathers.

Those who advise us to forget about the past should also remember the composite element in the American nation, that this nation stands. now at the crossroads of the most important time in history when it is necessary to stress and to proclaim again the right of all men to human dignity, to justice, to freedom, to economic opportunity, and to the brotherhood of man.

It would be far better for those critics who object to the Czech articles about the old pioneers if they would assist us to build up our SPJST by securing their wives, their sons and daughters, and grandchildren as members of our fraternal organization. If their local lodges would be composed of members who like to discuss the affairs of the lodge and of the SPJST in their own language, no one would object. And the English section of the Vestnik is available to all.

A number of new ideas and new projects appeared in the Vestnik lately.

We started with the Moucka's Fund to build a home for the aged. We talked about a museum at the headquarters.

We mentioned the Summer Camp for the youth. And reams of paper were used to discuss our Sick Benefit Department.

Three weeks ago, we learned about a brand-new corporation named "The Czech Education Foundation of Texas", sponsored by Dr. John M. Skrivanek and his associates. Seine people are asking, "What about Dr. Micek? What is he doing?"

We could mention other new ideas which appeared in the Vestnik. But it seems that they are very much like a falling star, just a glimpse — and they are not remembered any more. It is not easy to get the older people interested iii new ideas. This conservatism of the oldr mmbrs may b h rason tvWdri optoh older members may be the reason why some of them like to reminisce. It is a habit of thinking about their past ex periences when they were trying to adapt themselves to the new environs-

Wednesday, January 26, 1955 ment, when their own way of living and thinking were contributing factors and a directive force in the American way of life. Those who were more fortunate and did not e;';.perience those: hardships, cannot appreciate the tales: of yesteryear.

If any one feels that the reading matter in the Vestnik should nave a different slant, he should grab a sheet of paper, place it in a typewriter and present some of his new ideas. Anything constructive would be sincerely appKe,. elated. Not by fault-finding, but by t4e. united efforts we can make a satisfac, tory contribution„Just as we don't think. that Henry Ford invented the autdinobile, and that many, many mend had something to do with if, so our Vrob-, lem is in contributing some of our ideas to the organization we now have.

Sincerely and fraternally, John Stasa ) THE CZECH YOUTH CLUB

San Antonio, Texas"The Czech Youth Club appeared on WOAI TV Thursday evening ,innuary 20.

The Beseda was danced in parts and Czech songs were sung.

Mrs. T. M. Hughes introduced each child in costume and native dress. Mrs. 0. Dickson, emcee, talked of CzeChoslovakia — their people. customs,- and heritage—gave the Czechs a big buildup.

Dresses mey be mailed to Mrs. T. M. Hughes, Director, 763 Gerald Ave., San Antonio.

The proceeds from the bingo party will go toward buying public address system and record -player:, Bingo party, Feb. 13, at St. Leo's Hall .

VTEST, TEXAS

STOP AND GO AFTER 40 On your fortieth birthday cake there should be a little sign reading, "The time is now.' If the years ahead are to be as fruitful as they should be, 40 is the time for starting many new ways— and stopping many old ones.

1. Stop postponing. Procrastination is a luxury for young folks. They have, or think they have, so many tomorrows that they put their lives into them.

They may be working at a job they do not like; one day, they say, they will change it. They have always wanted to see the world; some day, they avow, they will travel. They fee. the need for selfimprovement; in time, they say, they will get around to it. They are dissatisfied with their marriage; in due course, they promise themselves, they will iron out the problem.

How many of these deferred problems, wishes, wants or obligations have you amassed in your forty years? "The time is now." You are in the middle of life.

You cannot be prodigal. You have learned, moreover, that tomorrow is never. Right now, you must do what you should, or stop doing what you shouldn't. Today, get your dental or medical checkup; today, start your diet; today, stop your smoking or drinking if ever you plan to; today, come to grips with your problems. You are 40. Right now, you should either be trying earnestly to get what you want, or to want what you've already got. "The time is now." Stop postponing.

2. Stop living only for your children.

Successful parents are the ones who prepare their children for independence.

Having brought children into the world, they prepare them for the world and yield them to the world. If you have not done this already, you must start to do it now. You and your children must not be so closely tied that neither of you can liVe independently.

Of course, you love your children — and it is an act of love to make them strong without you. But sometimes love children is a form of self-love. We may make our children receptacles for our own unfinished dreams. The father, for example, may have dreamed of becoming a physician; now he will be satisfied if his son becomes one, a,nd he insists that the boy do so. The mother may have dreamed of becoming a great pianist; now she lives only to see her daughter succeed at music. Parents may even project into their children their own ideals or disillusions about marriage, and strive unceasingly to see that young Bill and pretty Martha marry the

(By George Lawton, PH. D.) way the parents wished they had married; or avoid the type of marriage they themselves did not avoid. For the parents, this is simply a form of remarriage. Psychologically, they are marrying the partners of their choice — through their children.

There is an obvious unfairness to child#en in such procedure. But it is also unfair to parents. You are not being fair to yourself it you foist your life on your children instead of living it for yourself. So at 40, start actively to finish your own dreams, or drop them for something else. At 40, correct your own unhappiness, instead of merely trying to help your children avoid it. A good example is the most we can give our children. Therefore, create it.

"The time is now." Right now, make ready to live without your children, and make your children ready to live without you. Right now, start living your own life, and training your children to live their independently. Right now, stop living only for your children.

3. Stop living only for your job. Work is for men very much what children are for women — their greatest creative outlet. But just as children are not enough to make an entire life, or a completely satisfying one for the average person, so work is not enough for a man. Each day should be filled with a certain amount of work, of rest, of play.

Balzac declared that every man wants to be famous and to be loved. American men are apt to underrate the importance of love, and to overrate the importance of work. No man should be indispensable to any job, and' no job indispensable to any man. We need a well-rounded lifee with close family relationships, intimate friends, many acquaintances and emotional outlets through arts and crafts. If a man lives only for his job, what happens when he loses it, or at least retires from it? No one can afford to put all his egos in one basket. So stop living only for your job.

"The time is now."

4. Stop depending on muscle. The human being is made up of many abilities, and functions of both a physical and mental nature. Generally, the physical ones reach their peak earliest and start declining. Most physical abilities reach their peak in the mid-twenties. Our mental abilities, however, last much longer; some never decline, and some may even improve. At 40, this is very important to know Realize that you should not try to compete with youth in the physical

sphere. You cannot run as fast, for example; you cannot stay up as late; your body can't take the same punishment.

So at 40„qop depending on muscle and speed. Start cultivating the abilities that will stay with you, by seeking the experiences and pleasures of the mind, "The time is now."

Senator Strauss' Column TO THE PEOPLE OF THE 15th SENATORIAL DISTRICT: The Inauguration ceremonies of Gov. Shivers and Lt. Gov. Ramsey took place on' Tuesday of this week. There were about 40,000 people in Austin for these impressive and historic ceremonies.

On Wednesday of this week Lt. Gov. Ramsey announced the various Senate Committees. I was appointed to serve as Chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments and Vicechairman of the Committee on Governor's Nominations and Vice-chairman of the Committee on Banking. Besides the above, I was appointed to serve on the following Committees: Civil Jurisprudence, Counties and County Boundaries, Criminal Jurisprudence. Education, Finance, Game and Fish, Highways and Motor Traffic, Labor, Oil, Gas and Conservation, Public Debts, Claims and Accounts, Public Health, State Affairs, and State Penitentiaries.

So far, there have been 62 bills and 4 Constitutional Amendments introduced in the Senate.

Our Committees will begin holding Public Hearings on bills next week. With membership on 16 of these committees, our schedule will be pretty full for this session. However, we are always happy to see our homefolks, and invite you to visit with us here in Austin.

Mrs. Strauss has been elected President of the Senate. Ladies Club. This is a statewide organization composed of the wives of all Senators and former Senators. Naturally we consider this an honor for our district—one which was made possible by you people permitting us to serve you here.

We have had several bills introduced in the Senate dealing with the water problem in Texas; also a number of bills which would strengthen the insurance laws.

This week the Committee on Civil Jurisprudence approved a bill which would permit the District Courts in the 25th Judicial District to continue selecting jurors by the Jury Commission system, as they have always done, instead of changing to the Jury Wheel system.

This legislation applies to Colorado and Lavaca Counties in our Sliatorial District.

We will try to keep you informed on legislative matters as they transpire, and ask you to contact us on legislation in which you are interested.

"Za to,, ze se mu dati, dekuje jenom Zeno; on si -foAtije, a ona ma vS"ecko v hrsti."

Dominikova se znova odmleela, ale jen co by se OteenaS pomodlil.

"A co vy, vy nepoalete k nektere s vodkou?" ptala se opatrn?.N1.

"A mullti se neohliZeji po vette, co?"

Boryna ua neodpovedel, jenom bieem pohladil hkibatko, ktere poskoeilo a dalo se do trysku.

Dlouho mreeli. .

Teprve kdyZ vyjeli z lesa do poll mezi topoly vroubici silnici, Boryna, kterY celou to dobu v nitru zukil, vybuchl:

Btrana "Za nic to na svete nestoji! VSecko abys draze platil, i dobre slovo! Je zle, jak snad jeate nebylo. Dnes se de g staveji proti otci, poslechnout neumeji a terou se mezi sebou jako psi!"

"Hlupaci jsou, nevidi, to je vaechny bez rozdilu ta BoZi zeme pokryje."

"Sotva jeden nebo drub' od zeme odroste, ttZ si na, otce, misto aby ho ctn, troufa otvirat hubu. StarZim se jenom posmivaji! Holota, na vsi je vZecko stare pokadky se jim nelibi, nekteki se stydi i za to, jak se strojime!"

"To je vZechno tim, ae se Boha nelx"At' je to tim nebo onim, je to ale!"

"A nejde to k lepiimu."

"Jak by Z. lo? Kdo je pkinuti?"

"Trest BoZi! VSak piijde ta hodina Botiho soudu, piijde, "Ale co tim piijde lidu Rdzmar nikdo neoceini." "easy jsou takove, tie by snad bylo lip, kdyby mor "easy. . . t o je pravda, ale lido jsou taky vinni! Co kovak — ten za nic nemute? A fojt S velebnYm panem se pkon, lidi ke vzpouke nabadaii a balamuti, a hlupaci jim veil."

"Ten kova •, ten mi fide krev, je tieba desetkrat vas . ."

A tak si spoleene naiikali na. hledice skrz topoly na vesnici, ktera b y la pokad bla a blit.

Pod hkbitovem se ua z dalky eervenala iada ten sklonenYch a zastkenYch hou prachu; yzapeti se ozVal monotonni tlukot trdlic, ktery po chvile pkines1 vanek, zvedajici se z nice polotenych luk.

"Podasi jak Mane na trdlovani! Slezu a pajdu k nim; je tam taky Jagnieka."

"Ted' nt nezaleli, kudy jedu, tak vas dovezu. .

"Vy jste tak hodny, Mateji, ae je mi to divne," usmala se Dominikova city tie.

Boryna sjel se silnice vroubene topoly na point cestu a zajel pod hititovy, kde pod kamennou 2ternnelou ohradou, ye stinu bkiz, klenti a kfiZti, jet se z Mit naklanely k polim, asi patnact Zen hortrdlovalo such' len; obla,ka prachu visela nad zemi, dlouha vlakna babiho leta se chytala na elute listeeky bkiz a vlala s dernYch ramen ktiZti; o kousek dal, na proutenYch mftstcich, se jeSte su'SU navlhlY len nad doliky, ye kterYch byly rozdelany oh'nky.
