eTYPI DYBYSTE POTKALI BANKEttE, o neme by ela poyest, ee zv3-reil jmeni sveho peneeniho ustavu o etyti miliony ye dvanacti letech, meli byste pro takoveho finanenika respekt. Ba dokonce by varn na tom dosti hodne záleeelo, jestli byste mohli podobpou osobu poeitati mezi sve zname nebo ptiznivce.

Casto slyeite, ze naae SPJST je dobrST spolek, ee se za einnosti SPJST nemusite stydet, ze mileete bVti na na gi SPJST plnYm pravem hrdi. Jeto veechno pravda, zni to hezky, vetite tomu, ale dale o tom neuvaeujete. Proto bude dobre, kdy o veem dOstanete trochu lepei ptedstavu.

0 tom neb onom eloveku tekneme, ee je to dobrY a spotadanV mue, eirokeho rozhledu, eetrnSr a hospodarnSr, milt' soused. TakovSr nailed proneseme jen tenkrat, kdy mame ptileeitost souseda pozorovati delgi dobu, deset, dvanact nebo vice roku: Podobne einnost na gi SPJST musime posuzovati v metitku deseti, dvanacti nebo vice mkt.

Pfehraboval jsem se y e svVch starch Zaznamech a pkieel jsem na zaeloutle archy papiru pine eislic. Kdysi jsem chtel psati dejiny naei SPJST. Doeel jsem ae do roku 1943 a nechal jsem to nedodelane. Dvanact rokil to leeelo v zasuvce nePovSimnute. PA dnes jsem to vylovil, prolilleel ty eislice a zaznamy, porovnaval to nage hospodateni.

Za.limave, ba teasne, jak jsme za tech poslednich dvanact mica pokroeili. Jen za tech dvanact let, od doby, kdy jsem aipustil od sveho innyslu psati dejiny SP JST. K svemu ifeasu jsem vynaeel, ze nase SPJST je lepai nee dobra. Vedyt' nam ptirostlo.za tech dvanact rokil cele etyki miliony na majetku a ptes deset tisic na elenech.

Abyste tomu verili, zde podam eislice.

Me zaeloutle zaznamy ukazuji

MILIONY V 12 LETECH fam, ee je to spravne — ze zadatkern roku 1943 meli jsme na $3,776,188.00 majetku. Zaeatkern letoeniho roku men jsme majetku za $7,931,642.00, tedy o 4,155,454.00 vice neZ pied dvanacti lety. Zde mate finaneni podnik, kterV za dvanact let zvYall svuj majetek o etyfi miliony. A co hezkeho pH tom, ee vy veichni jste te nal banketi, jee se staraji o tento finanoni podnik. Vy veichni se mileete hrde Masai k tomu, ze pracujete spoleene na podniku, kterY dnes ma ale ptes osm majetku.

$3.20 na kaedou stovku; piljeky na elenske certifikaty by odrazily z kaede stovky majetku $6.50; a rtizne jine drbne veci, jako zatizeni v iftadovne, stroje v kancelatich, auto a podobno by obnagelo $2.00 na kaedou stovku; akcie Tex-O-Can $1.30. Kdye to spoditate, dela. to rovnVch sto dolarti. A tak byla rozdelena kaZda stovka naeeho majetku zaeatkem roku.

Dries by rozdeleni bylo jie trochu jine, protoee hotovost se zmeneila a pozemkoye piljeky se zveteily. Tote porovnani o torn, jak jsou na ge dolary linvestovane, se meni rok od roku.

Dle posledni vSr roeni zpravy je nas 27,880. Totie je nas o neco merle, protoee v naeem Usttedi poeitaji jednotlive certifikaty, ne jednotlive deny. Nevim, kdy jsme upustili od oznamovani, kolik elenfi ma kterV tad koncem kaedeho mesice, ale nedelame to. Poeitame jenom vyStavene a zrueene certifikaty. Pted dvanacti lety men jsme 17,320 certifikatil. Ale je zajimave, ze na kaedVch $100 reservy mame nee° ptes $19 ptebytku.

Kdyby bylo moeno znazorniti toto vysvetleni obrazem dolaru, kterS7 by byl rozkrajenS7 jako kolde na taliti, videli b y -chom,enjvtlkizdoarubyptedstavovaly pozemkove ptijeky, tote. skoro dye ttetiny dolaru. Vladni bondy byl by klinek asi jedna osmina dolaru, piajeky na certifikaty asi jedna aestnactina.

Zajimava je take okolnost, ze lonskeho roku upsali jsme taktka za dva a pal milionu noveho pojieteni, coZ dela 7% ptirizstku. IfSeho poji'Steni zaeatkem tohoto roku jsme men za $26,330,000, skoro dvacet Best a VA milionu.

Kdye jsme veichni jedna rodiria a veichni jsme pornahali vybudovati etyti miliony ye dvanacti letech, snad bychom meli take \Teat nee° vice o torn nagem finandnim podniku. Snad bychom mohli znat, jak a v 'dem mame tech na gich osm milionft ulolene. Snad bychom se mohli pochlubiti, ze lonskeho roku ptibylo nam $6 na kaedem $100.

Rosteme a jsme rok od roku silnejS1 finanene, na elenech a take v tom, co koname pro sve deny. Kdye si vzpomeneme, ae lonskeho roku jsme vyplatili elenam a dedicam $240,000, tedy takrka etvrt milionu dolarit, musime uznati, Ze na ge slueba ma veiikou narodohospodar.skou hodnotu, ikekneme to docela lido* Zaeatkem tohoto roku byl nas majetek Ze nebyti pojigteni u na2Si SPJST, kdosi rozdelenS7 nasledovrie: na kaedSrch $100 dosti stisnenYch pomerech byl by jeete ptipadalo $6.40 na hotovosti v jedenacti chudobnejai.

tre[lt!, dne 8. e'eryna 1955.

Bratr Bundil, kter3°7 zastupoval neptitornneho predsedu sedineho distriktu,. bratra Ennio, Mieulku, upozornil, ze jeho, had San Antonio eislo 33 ye sve posledni dove schtlzi pojednaval o techto bodech a de bratr Jaroslav Kleprlik, tajemnik tadu C. 133, byl poveren, aby vSechny Probirane otazky sestavil v jeden celek a ptednes1 V distriktni schUzi jako doporuceni od tadu San Antonio. Proto bratr Kleprlik, tajemnik a mitivei radu San Antonio, byl poladan, aby vSechny body yyjmenoval a easteene objasnil, Nedavno men jsem v organu vysvetleni, ze v posledni dobe nemel jsem ptileditost delati si nejake poznamky v distriktnich schnzich, z chlvodu, de nebylo dadnYch namett, kolnYch novYch navrhtl.

Ve Floresville nestaeil jsem vdechno zapisovati. Bylo tech bode celtem jedenact. Pokusim se, abych se zniinil o kaddem, jak je tajemnik tadu San Antonio ptedkladal jeden po druhem. Chci ptedem podotknouti, ae konam povinnost zpravodajskou, de ptedkladarn veci z distriktni schtize, a de nasledujici odstavce nejsou me naydlenky, ale jsou to slova pociand v distriktni schazi. A take ma reportad asi nebude v torn potadi, jak jednotlive body byly ye scItazi jmenovany, protok nestadil jsem vdechno souvisle zachytiti. Co zde bode oponienuto, snad ptijde ye zprave od tajemnika kadu San Antonio, bratra Kleprlika, kterk slibil, de vdeehno doporueeni od kadu Oslo 133 sestavi a necha uvetejniti.

V posledni ("lobe vyhYbat jsem se diikladneinu a podrobnemu popisovani distriktnieh schitzi. Mel jsem k tomu dye Ptieiny. Jedna byln, de nezarnlouvaly se nine ty schaze, nicim mne nerozehmiy; a jestli rozelitaly, pak se to nesrnelo dati na papir. Druha prieina byla, de jsou dosud kteti v distriktech yid' jenom jak,"Tsi druh bratrske politiky, kde se neproimaji vadne otnzky, ale pouze se dela jakasi pochybna osobni reklama. A ktlyd bych popisoval nekterou to distriktni schuzi, lade se nic nevykonalo, snad by to bylo nespravne, trochu jako pochlebovani, jako tleskani plane tea Tentokiat musim se rozepsati o sehtizi secnoho, distriktu, protode po strance spolkove prace se tam neco vykonalo.

V distriktu sedmem zaeali v ptedchazejicich schazich s nekterSirni . bodY hned V San Antonio, pak v Corpus -Christi, a tentokrat ye Flores-vine bylo vdechno ptedchazejici a nem daldiho shrnuto do jedendcti bodil. Co je zajirnave, de bylo odhlasovano, aby vdeBod prvni byl, aby distrikt sedmY znochny body byly otidteny ye Vestniku a take rozeslany na vdechn3r mi.stni tady vu opakoval, co jid ptijato bylo v diYe forme dopistl k uvadeni a schvaleni striktni schazi konane.pied rokem v San Antoniu, totid ztizeni musea v budove nebo zamitnuti.

Opakovano bylO, ze se Rozebirani teeltto jednotlivYch bodii dobrovolne pfihlasili bratr Holasek z Cornapked zaealo ptipornenutim od teditele pus Christi, bratr Otto Halms ze San AnKarla Holaska, e j:,011 nevykizeny a ne- tonia, a sestra Bodena Valeikova z Daldokoneeny. nektere uavrhy ze schrize ko- las, aby parnateeni veci byly sebrany, de nane v Corpus Christi minuleho podzi- vdak dosucl ziistava cela vec nakousnuta, mu.

Jak se apelovano, aby druhe distrikty po ydimeleni paniatuji, mydlenka musea a kni- nuly si teto akce a aby se ud jednou vyhovny pkidla pavodne od bra,tra Holaska, ,slovily bud' pro spolupraci nebo pro zakdyd dostal nabidku na koupi knih od mitnuti mydlenky. bratra Rudolfa tlapanskeho z KaliforDruhY bod, kterfr fad San Antonio nie. Zatirn ned byl atedni pokyn dan, zminene knihy byly zakoupeny jinou ptedklada sedmemu distriktu, a tad jibratrskou organit:oci. Mydlenku bratra nym distriktilm uvadeni, je otazka Holaska uskuteanili nekde jinde. Proto tulny, zda ji chceme budovati nebo nebylo spravne, 'de ye Floresville bratr Ho- claceme nic v to veci podniknout. A zase tad San Antonio nedeld dadnY natlak, lasek znovu vec ptipomenul. at' se to rozhodne pro nebo proti, jell at' Tei pfiAlo ve sehtizi upozorneni, iv e fad to neni stale ohtivane jidlo. Sarni hlavni Anton Oermak podal fine body hned do vedouci, atednici a teditele, men by se schaze v Corpus Christi, ktere eekaji na vysloviti tak nebo onak, nevyekavati ad diskusy a definitivni rortedeni.

Kdy2 jedna osoba stale piska, stejnou melodii, jde to druhSr m na nervy, proto se o nemocenskem a inazovem pojEsTeni vice nezmiriuji. Jsem v g ak rad, de napted tteti distrikt, a nyni fad San Antonio, tuto vec podporuji. Bude na dlenech sedmeho distriktu, zdali domaci fady v distriktu vec schvali nebo zamitnou. Jak jsem jid poznamenal, v'kch jedenact bodU bude rozeslano na vS'echny tady v distriktu. etvrtSr bod, ktercr fad San Antonio navrhuje, aby v posledni schuzi sedmeho distriktu pied sjezdem byla volna a yefejna diskuse o torn, ktefi dleni byli by nejschopnejSimi zastavati Mad teditele a nahradnika, a aby nominate byla provedena v teto posledni distriktni schilzi pied sjezdem tem', delegaty, kteti by byli zvoleni y e vYrodni schuzi fadu. Jestli tento etvrtS7 bod bude schvalenY v sedmem distriktu, bude to znamenati, de patS7 distrikt, tfeti distrikt a sedrnSi distrikt provedou nominaci teditele a nahradnika v posledni distriktni schuzi pied sjezdem. A cod kdy2 to sjezd neptijme? byla otazka. Sly gel jsem odpoved' od jednoho Mena, "My si to provedeme v distriktni schilzi, a ad no, sjezdu bude natizeno, aby na,S1 delegati provedli svou volbu, my jen oznamime, k volbu jsme provedli. A jestli musime na sjezdu utvotit na'Si skupinu nekde v nekterem koutu, tak to uMame, ale budeme to miti vyfizeno za minutu."

Patj, bod je, aby bylo znovu rozvinuto hnuti mladede a toto hnuti dostalo dostateenou finaneni podporu. Vzpomenuto bylo sloe Dra. Jos. Kopeckeho, ktera pronesl pied rokem: "Nak deli se obejdou bez SPJST, ale SPJST se neobejde bez na S . ich deti." Zase je to vec, do ktere se jen kouslo, chutnalo to, ale nyni to mame na taliii nedokousnute, jak oznamoval tajemnik fadu San Antonio, bratr Kleprlik. Jen aby to nedopadlo na mnoha mistech s tim hlasovanim, jako se stalo u jisteho nejmenovaneho tadu.

Material pro detske programy byl posilan na tajemnika fadu. Mistni pracovnice stale dekala, de dostane nejake pomucky, protok o torn bylo psano ye Vestniku. Cekala etvrt roku, pill roku, celSt rok, koneene podala sti'Znost ve To teprve se tajemnik ptiznal, k on toho ma, doma celou name, de nema, pro to Z'adnou potfebu.

distriktni schuzi ye Floresville bude rozeslano na vgech osmnact mistnich tajemnika v sedmem distriktu, aby byly ptedlokny v ptigti schtizi domaciho iadu uvadeni, pfijmuti nebo zamitnuti.

Jedni rikaji, je to moane, druzi tvrdi o-pak, ale ma ptedtucha je, ae kdyi se nic neprovedlo v minulosti, "zustane to ph starem", jak je ten oblibenS, navrh od tech, kdo vecne zustavaji pri starem.

Bod gestSr byl tugim probiran phi diskusi o zalodeni musea. Nejsou me poznamky v tomted potadi, jak byla vedena diskuse nebo zprava od faclu San Antonio. Bod gestji jedna o nutnosti sepsani dejin nagi SPJST. Bylo poukazano, ae jit jsme mnoho prome gkali, protole parnetnici mnohYch veci jia nam navady odegli. Bylo tea poukazano, ae byly, kady, ktere se rozpustily nebo rozpadly, ale dnes ze teako by bylo hledati zaznamy rozpadOch fadfi. Tu si vzpominam, ae lonskeho roku mluvil jsem s laSiyal,Vm tajemnikem jednoho takoveho tadu, kted mne zeal, abych pfijel k nemu, ma doma stare protokolni knihy. ,Slibil jsem, ae k nemu zajedu, pfeptal jsem se na cestu. Dnes si jeho instrukce testy k nemu vie nepamatuji. Zaznamy dosud -'eekaji na nekoho, kdo by pro ne zajel nebo kdo by je zavezl do usttedi. A co tam s nimi, tfednici nemaji easu na sestaveni dejin. Ani sam bych takovou praci nechtel, ponevada bych napfed musel studovati, jak se podobna prace provadi, aby mela spravnou historickou hodnotu, aby to nebyla prace fu gersko., ale odborne sestaveni vSrznamnSrch fakt z hodnovernSrch pramentit

Bod desitir le vlastne upozornenim pro nage vedouci, de uvefejnovani nagi naborove einnosti neni jasne. 0 tom jsem slygel poznamky na mnoha mistech, ae zpravy o naborove praci by melt' bSti uvefejfiovany kaadSâ– mesic pravidelne a jen za uplynu1ST mesic. Tim je moano porovnati, kolik se vykonalo v kvetnu. V tom smyslu bylo odhlasovano v pravidelne schfizi jisteho taclu, aby Hlavni nfadovna byla podadana, by zprava za minulY mesic byla, zfetelna a jen za jeden mesic, nikoliv od ledna do dervna. Jak jeden organisator se vyslovil, on uptal v lednu vetaI obnos pojidteni, ale od to doby nit vice. Zprava za mesic kveten dkazuje, kolik pojigteni letos ziska, ante neukazuje, ae od ltdna stale zahali. Pry kdyby ony zkravy byly poda,vany za kaa0 mesic samostatne, stydel by se a hledel by to napravit.

4 CO ZNAMENA URA' ERNALISMUS (Proslov bratra Otto Hanusc ye schfizi sedmeho distriktu) Bratti, sestry a ptatele: Dekuji yam za ptilektost promluviti Yarn nekolik slov. Rad bych y am neco povedel o fraternalismu, co je a jak skuteene pracuje. Fraternalismus nas uei, abychom sdeliii radosti Zlivota se svYmi bliZnimi v Case jejich nouze a bidy a znairnili jejich bolesti v Case nemoci nebe nekesti. KdyZ onemocni nail Glen nebo elenka, anebo se mu ptihodi neAtesti, tna bYti hned navAtiven bratry a sestrami naS'eho spolku, aby soustrast a pomoe mu byla venovana, a to no chladnokrevtie, ale od srdce bratru a sestet, kteti maji zajem o roclinu neStestim posti2eneho bratra nebo sestry. Ano, bratkske pojkStenl, jako je u nail! Slovanske Podporujici Jednoty Statu Texasu, neni jen chladnokrevne pojiSteni, ale je to pojikeni od srdce aloveka.

Takovyci spolky, jako je naile Jednota, je mnoho. Nektere tyto spolky zalo2ily dornovy pro stare &any. Jina zase zalo2ily nemocnice, kde se lee' nemocni eleni.

Jine zase zaloZlly shoteinee, kde se vychovavaji osifele deti, dostava.ji vzdeldaby ineli ye svete a v Zivote tyteZ vYbody jako jine deti. Ano, brathi a sestry, jednou take dojde k tomu, ze naile Slovanska Podporujici Jednota Statu Texasu take najde cesty, abychom rovne2 zaloZili podobne fistavy k zlepAeni Zivota eloveka. nekolik mkt' se Mali sbirky na domov pro stare Melly k ucteni pamatky zesnuleho bratra Monoky. Vefim, ze ten eas se blizi, kdy zafidime takov/ Ustav pro ty naile statieky a statenky.

KdyZ nektere okoli je postiZeno pohrornou nebo ne'Stestim, fraternalni spolky jsou vZdy na prvnirn miste s pomoci k bolesti a nemoci neilt'astnikUm.

ye sttedu, dna 8. 'eertia 1966, Tyto spolky hned pomahaji se stravou, s lay, se gatstvem a s ptistte gim pot •ebnYm. Fraternalismus jde do takovYch rodin a vykona praci bez placeni a dada ochotne pracovniky, kteti dohliteji pa. tar kovou humapitni praci. KataY glen hned stane hurnanitnim pomocnilcem bez jakehokoliv platu, a pomaha mu kde a jak unite.

Fraternalismus nam ukazuje prakticke a rozumne cesty, abychom se schazeh ye schnzich a porozurneli jeclen druhemu.

Ve spolkovYch schtizich yypudi a vyroste, rove a trvale ptatelatvi, take Zivot elenit se obohati temito schtlzetni. Na ge f•A7 dove scirUze jsou vtdy oteytene olenUm od yzdalenYch kteti jsou vtdy ni v nagich schrizich.

Fraternalismus nas udi vernosti k nag vlasti a ukazuje narn cesty k patriotis, mu. V nagich sinich visi vlajka nag americke vlaSti, ktera je ctena a milovana katclYm na gim elenem. Fraternalismus je proti ygem nesrovnalostem a je V oposici vgem organisacim, ktere by chtely znieiti nage demokraticke 'idealY a nage organisace vOlneho a svobodneho tivota. Fraternalismus je ftcly proti katdemu "ismu" krome amerikanismu, a je na strati, abychom si zachovali na gi svobodu.

Nevim o tadne vet gi slut)* kterou fraternalismus vykonal a kde by se lepe osveddil net ye vYchove nagith deti. Ve schilzich nagich spolkft . cleti se zaueuji v rnladi obeanske zodpovecinosti, uptimnej gintu a lepgrinu tivotu. Ve schtizich dostanou ptiletitost Seznamit se se syYrni blitnimi, pilueiti se spolkovernu a spoleeenskemu chovani, zdokonaliti se v rtlznYch funkcich ph vedeni nagich Poznaji, co znamena Podpora, Lidskost a Bratrstvi, a ponesou vliv techto funkci po celY sytij tivot.

Nage budoucnost spoeiva v na gich mlacUch elenech. Vette, bratfi a sestry, nage omladina se obejde bez na g Slovan.ske Podporujici Jednoty Statu TexasU, ale nage Jednota se neobejde bez nagch mla.dYch Mani. Spoeiva, to na nas, abychom je zaueovali vedeni nag Jednoty.

'Dejte na gim mladYin 'dentin' slovo ye vedeni vageho tadu, dejte je na, yYbory, dejte jim prilezitost, aby Se vyslovili ye vagich schtizich, kdyt ne eesky, tak anglicky. Nevite, brath a sestry, co se v tech mladYch hlavach Oni mohou mit lepgi nahledy net my stati. A v mladYch myglenkach spoelva cela budoucnost nasi Jecinoty.

Tak pracuje, bratti a sestry, fraternalismus, nikoliv chladnokrevne, jak pracuji obchodni spoleanosti, ale s porozumenim pro vgechny a s citem, kterY vychazi ze srdce na gich elent. Mohl bych yam toho povedeti vice, ale doba 4ateleho keendca je vy61:g tena. Tak y441, 1444tki.

Na strance: 9. v tom sarnem Vestniku najdete velmi zalimavY elanek, jen g tam br. redaktor vepsal, Kolonie domka pro, starnouci populaci, tak zvanou "Roosevelt Park Colony for the Aged". Tato kolonie se rozklada na 300 akrech nedaleko mesta Millville v New Jersey. Tato kolonie neni ustavem ani domovem pro vekern se gle lid! Zalogila ji pani Effie Morrisonova, ktera pracovala v departmentu starobni pomoci a vyslechla mnoho stargich lidi, kteti nemeli gadnou ro.dinu, neb davali piednost samostatnemu ghotu a zdrahali se giti u (leery neb sy-I na v jejich rodine.

Vgak pteetete si sami ten elanek, "stoji'za avahu. ' 'A je gte bych se piimlouvala, aby se pH. stavbe budouci atulny pamatovalo jednu velkou mitnost ktera by slougila pro musejni vSistayky. Psalo se, ge Hlav, ni ittadovna by dala ye sve btdove jednu mistnost v "belzmente" pro musejni stavku. Dnes se yam piiznam, ge mistnost v "bejzmentu" (ae jsem ji nevidela) se me nezdala dtistojna, aby tam vSrstavka cennYch veci byla umistnena. To by nas gpatne representovalo pied nagimi sPoluobeany, kteti by si pomysleli, Zda, nemai e vice flay pro pamatky nagich pinonYrii, pro rueni prate mu gske i genske nagich elent.

Vybudovani musejni idrsta yky vyglo z hlavy a z Ora bratra Karla Holaska. X pomoci jemu se nabidl br. Otto Hanu g ze San Antonia. Napsali oba jmenovani tki elanky a vYzvu a teto vSrstavce. hlasila jsem se jim k pomoci. Ale zda se, ze seme nepadlo do zeme arodne. Zustalo me, slovo hlasem volajiciho na pougti.

Proe tato zde piii? Hnecl vysvetlim.

Kdyz jsme tam byli, prinesla pani '<Penkova starou rodinou modlitebni knihu, tak zvanou "Postilu", kterou si rodide ni Krenkove, man2ele Svadlefiakovi, privezli sebou od nas z Valaiska jako d.rahou pamatku, ktera je pies 200 rokil stara, psand ivabachem. Toho pisma se v tu dobu uZivalo. I iv nail rodine se zachovaly d ye tyto vzacne knihy, ktere byly jeite starii; pochazely z doby prond sledovani evangeliktt. A moje maminka nalezala iltechu a silu pro teZkY Zivotni boj v tech modlitebnich knihach. Pani Krenkova tenkrat pravila: "Myslela jsem, 2e to dam do to musejni sbirky".

Ale jaksi se s toutou drahou ji po rodieich pamatkou nemohla rozloueit. Je pies svoje vysoke stati zachovald v koZene vazbe. ProhliZela jsem si ji se zajmem.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THIS LITTLE WEEKLY PAPER GOES to every SPJST member who wants it and who is in the adult class. Our adult certificates start at the age of ten. If there are more members in one family, only one issue is mailed to save on the expense. The paper should be a medium between you and your local lodges, between the local lodges and the districts, between the districts and the home office in Temple.

• EVERY SPJST MEMBER SHOULD know enough about this organization so that he could be a partner in the business this fraternal society is carrying on. Every member should know how strong we are, how many local lodges we have in Texas, how many members belong to the organization, what kind of certificates we have, and how sound we are financially. If you don't know some of these things, you are very much like a small boy who knows that his daddy makes money, but can't tell or doesn't understand how much.

• • OUR SPJST FURNISHES EVERY year a complete list of information, based on the annual report which goes to the State Department of Insurance, to an independent company. This company prepares and publishes an impartial analysis of the financial standing of the SPJST. Then this impartial report is available to our officers and members. I have just received a copy of the report and I believe I Should pass the information to all the members who read the Vestnik. That way you will be informed what kind of organization you are a member of, and you will be able to answer some of the questions about the SPJST more intelligently.

lodge and through a delegate in the affairs of the entire society; we must have local lodges to carry on the business; and we must make provisions for the payments of benefits according to the laws. So we have no stockholders and all surplus earnings are held for the added protection of our members. The principal surplus (above the legal reserves) held for the added protection of our members is slightly more than one million dollars.

• SOME OF OUR MEMBERS DO NOT know that we have quite a number of standard form benefit certificates. They are issued in amounts from $500.00 to $10,000. Of course, the age of an applicant puts a limit on the amount of maximum insurance. In the adult class we have these certificates: ordinary life; life, paid-up at 65; 10-pay life; 15-pay life; 20-pay life; 15-year endowment; 20-year endowment; 20-pay endowment at age 60; continuous premium endowment at 65; continuous premium retirement at age 65; and mortgage protection insurance, two types.

We also have premium waiver and double indemnity features. In , the Junior Department we have term insurance to age 16; 20-pay life; endowment at age 18; and 20-pay endowment.

ALL INVESTMENTS OF THE SPJST must be made in accordance with the rigid laws governing the investments of insurance funds. You cannot borrow any amount of money on 'any piece of property just because you are a good member, come to the meetings regularly, or holding a responsible office in/ your local lodge. The laws must be obNerved.

The books of the SPJST are subject to periodical examination by the Insurance Department. The last such examination had been conducted early in the year 1955. As soon as the report of the examination is accepted by the governing body, a mimeographed copy will be mailed to every local lodge, and, on re quest, to any member.

THE INDEPENDENT COMPANY THAT analyzes the finances of the SPJST every year reports that the SPJST has admitted assets on December 31, 1954, totaling $7,931,642. This is an increase of 6 per cent over the previous year-end.

Assets were invested in the following rnanne: Cash 6.4%; U.S. Government bonds, 12.5%; other high-grade bonds 3.4%; stocks, 1.3%; approved mortgage loans, 64.7%; real estate, 3.2%; certificate loans and liens, 6.5%, and sundry items, 2.0%. Resources of the SPJST are held for the following purposes or obligations: Certificate reserve (including cash or loan values), 85.4%; reserves for claims pending, 0.3%; preAT PRESENT, WE HAVE 154 LOCAL miums paid before due dates, 1.1%. and lodges throughout the state of Texas. miscellaneous liabilities, 0.1%.

mimeographed, saving me much trouble and time. The reason why we are urging this action is that some lodges have their Meeting the first Sunday in the month, some of them only once in three months, and so Sunday, June 5, they could already work on it. Now it is quite Up . to you, Sisters and Brothers, to tity Your "yes" or "no." All the forms, properly handled and signed by the secretary of, lodge, please send immediately to our district secretary, Brother Jacob ShWittier, Fishing Route, Karnes City, Texas, for further handling.

Don't postpone it, please; we want to know your attitude and decision as soon as possible, to make necessary arrangements fur realization of problems that have been discussed for a long time without any result.

In the meeting of District Seven, held Sunday, May 29, at Floresville, I mentioned certain matters of general character, concerning the business of our SPJST, and as the time permitted I stressed the importance of handling them. All that is touching the common meaning and interest of our districts as well as our SPJST, I summed up into eleven points, and made them as a motion for further handling. But for lack of time it was impossible to bring it on the program. Therefore, it was accepted by all, to send a copy of these points, to the secretaries of all lodges in the Seventh District for discussion and decision by voting for or against. The points are I think all points are clear enough. as follows: Since there will be more explanation, I'm sure that the Sisters and Brothers 1.

The following officers were elected: Brother John Stasa, Chairman; Brother Ad. Miculka, Vice Chairman; and Brother Jarosla y Kleprlik, Secretary. A rough schedule of the work ahead has been worked out, and directions given for a successful solution of the problems of great importance. It is my belief that, both Bro. S. C. Bundil, who was in the chair instead of BrotherE. Miculka, and Bro. Roy Hranicky, the vice-president, selected the by-laws committee very wisely, because all the appointed members have shown the proper interest in co-operation, and, judging according to some subjects already presented, all will work very helpfully.

The committee will formulate all the points We want to have in our district By-laws, and at the same time, it will study the existing SPJST By-laws in order to make necessary corrections, as most of you know, there is a. need of changes and amendments in them. It is evident that we must have a good elastic By-laws, because our district meetings are becoming a very important part of the SPJST work, and they are increasing in activity and efficiency each year.

To do a good work, we need your full support. Local lodges should be encouraged to take an active part; in practically every lodge there are some special problems that can be considered and promoted which will add the betterment of the whole. Now we are here that we may discuss with one another improved methods of promoting our SPJST activities. Think of the good we and you can get through this effort. We will be very grateful to all of you for your help. All suggestions will be discussed and recommendations made for presentation for ftirther handling in the convention.

San. Antonio, Texas Dear Members, A. large crowd attended the District Meeting in Floresville on May 29th. They served a delicious dinner consisting of beef barbecue, sausage, and all the trimmings. The meeting began in the morning and was resumed in the afternoon when the dinner was almost over. The Floresville children had a very nice program. The San Antonio Czech Youth Club danced the "Mora yska Beseda."

Tne smaller children danced the Maypole, and the smallest children did their number, too. A great number from San Antonio attended the District Meeting.

Our picnic, which was held on May 22, was a good success. They served a good barbecue dinner which was followed by bingo in the afternoon, and a dance at night. We had a nice day and a nice crowd., We were glad to have such a good crowd turn out.

On June 11 the San Antonio Czech Youth Club will appear on TV on the Red River Dave show at 9:30 p.m. on Channel 4. Whoever has a television is welcome to watch.

Hallettsville, Texas Sisters and Brothers: District Six meeting is gone by, but we must admit that very little was accomplished.

The children's program was short and snappy; but only two lodges took part in the entertainment. How come? No interest in the children elsewhere?

I must thank our Sisters and Brothers that made the trip. We almost outnumbered the home folks. Thanks Mrs. Grones and Mikus for the nice program; also thanks for the $35.00 donated to us by the Hillje Club. That certainly helped our Youth Club defray the necessary expenses.

I have almost forgotten to tell you, readers, that our Lodge No. 4 captured two prizes by having with us the youngest member present, Melvin Mikus, and the oldest member, John Sralik.

Now a few words about what we will have on Sunday, June 12, beginning at 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Grones and Mikus arranged a nice program for mothers and fathers. We will have songs, dialogues, also a member of Lodge No. 88 will address the meeting. So let's come as we did to Hilije. This will be your children.

Ladies, you are asked to bring some "kolaee", sandwiches, and what not.

Men will furnish the liquid so the "kolaee" taste better. A nice ham will be given as a door prize.

Now to District Six again.

Let us nominate our district representative, the district director. Let us be free and open. By this time we should already know who should be a leader, who has the ability, when the chips are down. to fill the leadership role successfully. "When the king has a bellyache, the common people groan," says the old proverb. That's true enough. One way or another, we suffer when our leaders get into difficulties. By this time we should know who would be a leader so that the

rest of us could follow him.

I would suggest to defer in our district meetings our youth programs until after the convention, unless it be a program from a home lodge.

Brothers!! Do you realize that convention year is knocking on the door? Are we prepared to get through with our convention in four days as our strong, friendly competitive, organization got through in three days in Galveston in April? Do you believe we can do more efficient work in a haphazard manner in a week than by careful Planning in a shorter time? We should start to talk about our weak points now, tod gy, without delay, and present corrections and remedies to dour by-laws committee in March next year.

And this is to our neighboring lodges: the November meeting in Talton will be important, and the distance is not so far. If you would like to go with us in a school bus, write to H. B. Fabian and he will reserve the place for you.

Fraternally, F. K. Bucek • 4, • SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM

Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters, On Wednesday night, June 1, our SPJST Softball Team defeated Sons of Herman by a decisive score of 17 to 3.

Our team showed a great improvement over the last week's play and all the guys played very good ball which was indeed gratifying. Perhaps last Sunday's workout had a lot to do with the improved play of our team. Batteries for the game were Wilbur Munger, pitcher; and Hal Maher, catcher. Munger pitched a very good game and he also received good support afield from his teammates.

Leading hitters were Raymond Smith and Hal Maher with two hits each. Also getting one hit apiece were Albin Vrana, Jody Rejcek, Ben Jarma, Joe Jarolik, Bob Wright, and Bill Matula.

On Thursday, June 2nd, we were to have again played Sons of Herman, this being a makeup game which was rained out during the first half of the season.

Next week, there will be an open date due to the playing of the Dallas Open Softball Tournament and our next league game will be on June 15, and our opponent will be Republic National Life, game time 7:30 p.m. at Samuels Diamond No. 2.

We are entered in the Dallas Open Softball Tournament which will be conducted durin g the week of June 5th.

Wed:nettlay; -June= 8, " 19515 In this tournament you play until a team is eliminated Although we feel we do not have a team strong enough to win this tournament, we hope to give a good account of ourselves and of the fraternal order that we represent both on, and off the field of play. We will play our first game in the tournament Monday night, June 6, and our opponent will be the Dallas Jaycees, a very fine team, game time, 7:30 p.m. at Diamond No. 2, Union Terminal.

Again I am happy to report that we had a very large turnout of friends and members at the game. Such support certainly has an effect upon the morale of the team and adds to prestige of our SPJST Fraternal Order.

Let's remember this date, Saturday, July 30th, the night of our Softball Benefit Dance and let's all make plans to attend this special •dance.

Fraternally yours, Ben Jarma, manager softball team, Lodge Pokrok No. 84 ) • 4, • STEFANIK LODGE NO. 142 Dearest Friends: It gives me great pleasure in annoucing that our Chicken Dinner and Bazaar of May 22nd was successful. In behalf of our Lodge President, Alois Vaja, I wish to express sincere gratitude and thanks for the full co-operation of the majority of our members. We must keep up this "All for one—one for all" attitude because this unity is the thing that will bring us to the top.

Special recognition is due to Sister Sylvia Kelorek, who so capably and efficiently handled the Needlework, Ceramic and Novelty Booth with assistance from Sister Janie Kelorek, who is so adorable.

Sisters Lillie Melnar and Frances Sklar were delightfully pleased with the results of their cake and pastry booth success. Congratulations, girls, many thanks.

The country store was supervised by Barbara Jean Ungrad and assisted by V' Ann Cooper, Lillie Mae Melnar and Gayle Sturm. Thanks to you too.

Sister Mary Chupick was the head chef in the kitchen. Capable assistants were Sisters Emily Mynar, Emily Cykala, Anna Vaja, Anna Shilk, and Pauline Walla.

LEADERSHIP

What specific abilities does the successful leader possess?

Research has shown that he is possessed of superior mntal and analytical talent. His predominant interest is in people and he knows how to get along well with them. He is aggressive and constantly in search of new work to be done and new mthods of doing it. - Dr. Wald in "Commerce'

COURTESY CAN MEAN YOUR LIFE Americans spend ten million dollars a year to insert the word "please" in their telegrams. But their discourtesy at the steering wheel. costs more than a hundred violent deaths a day.

Traffic conditions may be more than average humanity can cope with in safety and pleasantness. This does not mean that accidents cannot be held to a minimum. There are people who every day win safety awards for a record of ten, twenty, even thirty years, of driving without accidents. Some of these are taxi drivers.

You question these safe drivers for the secret of their prowess. You find it is a matter of personal attitudes. What are good, safe driving attitudes' , Have you ever examined to see whether you have them? For example, what is your attitude in case you are a young driver?

In the United States one out of six licensed drivers is under twenty-five years of age, but this group causes one out of four bad accidents. Are you among those inclined toward juvenile driving delinquency? Are you a hot-rod enthusiast?

Did you contribute to the upswing of traffic carnage in 1953 to the extent that the National Automobile Dealers association, which has 35,000 members, voted to "wipe out the hot rod evil at its sources" by selling no more "soupedup" cars or motors or service to youths'?

Do you relish the thrill of lightning starts, two-wheel turns and screeching stops like gangsters in the movies? Or do you relax in the good, solid, prosaic satisfaction of knowing that your education and training in behind-the-wheel driving make you only half as liable to become involved in traffic accidents as the teen-ager who tries to be a daredevil?

Whether you are an example or a menace to society is purely a matter of your attitude. One young man, who sounds grown-up in tone, said: "Instead of showing strength of character, many teen-agers are too apt to follow the crowd in reckless driving."

If you are not bothered with the adole,s• ent attitude, what about the health problem? Some people are not in physical condition to be driving a car. They will not admit this fact. What about yourself? To be frank, this matter of looking into your driving attitudes becomes a personal, intimate probe. There is even the question of how much you weigh. The British Medical Association says that fat people are prone to accidents. They do not say your driver's license should be revoked if you are chubby. They say you are prone to accidents

Little things, like how easily your attention is distracted, go a long way toward revealing your driving attitudes.

As Herbert J. Stack, director of the center of safety of New York University, sagely puts it, "Unless we can reach the man behind the wheel no great good can be accomplished." Human personality, he says, is the bafflement of the experts.

Your driving attitudes are what count.

It has been suggested that a good index to your attitudes is the number of cars you have bumped or caused to bumped you. How close do you follow other traffic? Dou you signal when you slow down or turn.-and in time? Do you ignore traffic signals? Do you misjudge distances? Are you impatient with traffic? Do you make allowances for human reaction timing? For braking distances? Do you hog the road? Is your vision faulty—or do you know?

For every ten miles an hour of speed you should allow at least one car length between. you and the car ahead; if traveling at thirty miles an hour, allow three car lengths. Only in this way would you be able to stop if an emergency arose.

Only if you are in the habit of walking out of windows and falling flat on your face three stories below onto a concrete floor is it all right for you to crash headon into a parked truck at thirty miles an an hour. The impact on your face is the same.

An attitude is anything you learn and cultivate into a habit.

"Drunken driving," warned the A-, merican Automobile Association in 1950, rapidly is becoming death's chief handyman in road disasters." The light drinker who has only a "couple of beers" or "one for the road" is no exception. Not only is he the classic example, %f drugged driver, but what he has had to drink may have given him a "superman complex" carrying him away in his own estimation above the traffic laws and all protective regulations, right into the graveyard.

Yet, until summoned to the hospital or the morgue it may not dawn upon the parents who it was that let junior off on a happy-go-lucky spree. The intoxicated driver has been called "the greatest single hazard on the highways." Dr. Leonard Goldberg of Sweden's Caroline Institue list four condemning reasons whY, drivers should refrain completely: Alcohol (1) slows down reactions; (2) it creates false confidence; (3) it impairs concentration, dulls judgment; (4) it plays tricks on your eyes. Dr. Robert V: Seliger of Baltimore, Maryland, reports that in more than 50 per cent of automobile fatalities the use of alcohol involved. "Even 'more startling," Dr. Sel= iger said, "was the disclosure that the greatest number of killers at the wheel were in the so-called 'moderate' drinking class."

In 1951 the 9,090,000 accidents listed showed six out of ten were rear-end bumps. Six per cent were hard enough to kill. In New York State the average bump in terms of personal and property damages, costs from $300 to $400. It was less in other states, but think of the nation's throwing away $730 million a year on car bumps. That was more money tnan was earned by a hundred thousand average Americans.

"What happened was that too many people didn't give a whoop what happened, as long as they got where they were going—fast." That was back in 1950. Evidently few people paid any attention to Dearborn, because in the succeeding years this bad, deadly habit continued.

But is the remedy to drive very slowly?

No, you can drive so slowly that you become a nuisance. The New Jersey state police arrested one "mope" who, at 20 miles an hour, was blocking a line of ears four miles long. You can, indeed, drive too, slowly for safety's sake. In Connecticut two drivers were killed. One or them had waited several miles to get ar o und a slow-poke driver. When he did take a chance, it was the wrong one, and he rammed head-on with the oncoming driver. Both died on the spot.

The slow poke? His car was not touched.

And when the wreck happened he did not even stop.

A good sane speed of from 40 to 50 miles an hour on average daylight road is what authorities long for, dream about, plead. for, but seldom see.

What does it all mean to you? That the best way to live is to put courtesy into your driving, to examine your driving attitude, your alertness, your perception and your consideration for the nerves and lives of others. Remember, generally speaking, it is your attitude that determines how well you drive, or , perha ps even how long you are able to do so!—Contributed:' ) •

AMERICA Yes, the US is in a bad shape—worse off than any other country in the world in some respects. No other country is suffering political and economic teoubles because of a surplus of food.

No other country has traffic congestion because so many people own automobiles. in no other country does everybody make so much money and help is so hard to find and harder to keep. In no ether country do people take so many holidays, and work so few hours, so they will have time to spend the money that keeps piling in on them.

POLKA DANCE CALENDAR

Column

(Calvin C. Chervenka)

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE 15th SENATORIAL DISTRICT As this is being written the Senate is in the process of debating the tax bill.

As the bill was approved by committee, it provided for a 1-cent per package increase in the cigarette tax, a 1-cent per gallon increase in the gasoline tax, and a 25-cent increase per , thousand dollars of capital stock in the franchise tax on corporations.

As expected, there were a flood of amendments offered when the bill was brought up for consideration on the floor of the Senate. One of the amendments would increase the tax on beer from the present $2.00 per barrel to $5.30 per barrel. Another would increase , the gasoline tax by 2 cents per gallon.

This week, Governor Shivers vetoed the bill which would have increased the speed limits in Texas to 65 miles per hour on regular highways and to 70 miles- per hour on divided highways.

The Senate received a bill from the House which would double the tuition fees for students attending State universities and colleges. It is expected that there will.be a fight against the passage of this bill.

The Senate this week passed the Trinity River Bill which would authorize the construction of dams and water conservation projects all the way from Fort Worth and Dallas to the Gulf of Mexico.

Prigel aZ yeeer, pied yeeeri, ale tak zbedovanY, utYranY a. tichY, Ze Hanka skoro sapomnela na wve podezreni; kdyZ pak jog*" naresal rezanky a vypomohl ji dobytku, byla dojata as k slzam.

Presto v gak nerekl, kde byl a co delal, a ona, tot' se vi, se neopovaZila ze ptat.

Po veeeri pri gel Stach, kterY se u nich east° zastavoval, ac mu Verunka branila, a za chvili po nem, docela neoeekavane, se objevil stary Klomb.

Nesta-eili se divit, protoSe to byl pr y y& ze vsi od to doby, co -byli vy--niClo hnani z otcova clomu; pochopili, ae s neeim prichazi.

"Kdyz se nikdo z vas ani neukaae, jsem si, ze se na yes podivam sam. - spustil hned ve dverich.

Dekovali mu s uprimnou a hlubokou "veenosti.

Usedli v rade na lavici blizko krbu a hovorili pomalu, vaZne; stars' Bylica prihazoval na ohen.

"IVIraz je poradnY, co?"'

"Ani mlatit se neda bez koZichu a bez rukavic," rekl Stach.

"A co horgiho, i viol se ukazuji."

Vgichni se udivem podivali na Klo ha. "ftikam y am pravdu, dnes v noel se drab. pod fojttl y chlev; neco je vyplaSilo, protoZe prase neodnesli ale vyhraball jarnu as pod zasep; sam jsem se tam gel v poledne podivat. . . bylo jich tam pri nejmen gim pet."

"To je nepochybne znameni, ze bude zima."

• "Ten nedame!" prohodil skratka a prudce Klomb. "Chytneme se do kW.ku, at' hrabe vidi, kdo je silnejM, zda on el celY narod, uvidi. ."

Vic o veci nemluvili, ale \item to le-Zelo na srdci a palilo je to jako ()heti jenom Bylica zajikave a nesmele do.= dal: "Jd znam dobte to hrabeci plerne z Vole, znam je, to yam jests provede pekny kousek. . ."

"At' si provede, nejsme deti iapalit se nedarne," zakoneil Klomb.

Zminil se i o tom, jak vyhnali Magdu od varhanikil, a rekl, co si o tom my -cli: "To se vi, to to neni lidske, ale varhanikovi si piece nemohou cleat z chaluPY g pital. . Magda neni ani jejich busna."

Hovorili o tom i onom a dosti pozde' se rozchazeli; na odchodu Klomb podle sveho zvyku primp a kratce rekl, aby k nemu prigli a rekli, co potrebuji — at' je to zelenina, krmeni pro jalfivku nebo i tech par slatYch v gak se to po Sousedech jiste , seZene.

Hanka se po dlouhem vahani a po mnolle• nesmelem vzdychani koneene zeptala: "NaS'el jsi praci?"

"Nena.S'el; byl jsem ye dvote tam i onde, pretaval jsem se u lidi nic neni," odpovidal Antek, nezvedaje oei; bylo sic" pravda, Ze byl tam ni onde, ale o praci se nestaral, celY ten eas jenom probloumal.

"Hledal jsem, ale i kdybych neco dostal, neptijdu ze vsi, nebudu se tlouci po svete jako pes bez pana," za geptal Antek po dlouhem mleeni.

"Ja jsem si to rnyslila zrovna tak!" zvolala radostne Hanka. "K "emu hledat chleba po svete, kdyZ i ye vsi se hodi sluSny vydelek; veera mi mlynat povidal, ze ma pro tebe praci na pile treba hned od sitrka. plati dva slate a patnact grogti."

Ale Antek se ani nepohnul, neodpovidal, necitil jejiho obieti, nevedel o ni. . . Mroce otevtenYmi zraky pattil v druhe, v modre old Jagniny.

Za mohutnym kmenem leacim ye suehu se vztidil such', vysokY, pkihrbenY ehlapik, s dYmkou v zubech, s edivou beranici na .hlave,, v ilutern kcylku, v dtevacich a dervenYch pruhovanYch kal hotach. • . opkel se o , b1Yetici se' topor, odplivl a vesele "Vy se ptiZenite ke mile?

"To byl slimy les, stromy jako svice."

"Ale sukovite, potvory, sukovite, a.11, Bah bran', jako by je kkernen pinil, malokterY den mine, aby se na toporu nevyrazil nejakY zub.

Za rnalou chvilku Antek uz stal u prece proti Bartkovi a za,dal usekavat Stepiny a otesavat kmen do ostreho klinu, podle toho, jak mu to Bartek smolou naznadil; nekekl slova, ttebaie se ho divne dotklo, le takovY MatouS je zde ptedstavenYin jeho, Boryny. .. Naplil si jenom do dlani a chopil se zlostne toporu, protoie . . . kdy krudi v brise, ty, koSile, bud' tine!

"Dobke yam to jde, dobte l. poznamenal Bartek.

Nu, ovSem, Antek se v praci vyznal, s dievem nepracoval po, prve, a taky dolate vSecko dovedl.pochopit; jenomZe tato prace byla take., pro eloveka, kterY v ni nebyl zapracovan... Antek se brzo uhtal a zapotil a music se sebe shodit koZich.

Mraz byl tub* a nepolevoval; protoge Antek potad musil stet a hrabat se ye snehu, mel ruce jako rampouchy, pkimrzly mu k toptirku. . . a 'cas se mu zdal nemohl se dodkat poledne.

K obedtt vaak snedl jenom kus su cheho chleba, napil se vody z teky a dokonce ani nezagel s ostatnimi pod sttechu mlYnice; bal se, ie by se setkal se znamynli, ktefl pitch s povozy do mlyna, a dekali, az na ne ptijde kada; jegte by se nad nim pozastavovali a radovali se z jeho ponit'eni a bidy . toho se nedodkaji. natal na mraze, uscd1 pod mlYnici, ukusoval chleb a °alma bloudil po pile, ktere, stela ptimo nad tekou, spojena jenom na rohu se S'titem mlYna, voda ze elyt kol se valila mocnYm zelenYm proudem pod ni a hnala pily.

Pracovali zderstva, proto'Ze mraz hal a naleiite je prohanel.

MlYn kiapal a voda zpod kol, nYch ledem jako zelenou koudeli smotanou v dlouhe vousy, se hluene valila pod pitu„ pily bez ustani kineely, jako by nekdo hryz1 sklo, a vyplivovaly 2lute piMatou§ se dinil, rovnal kiddy, zastavoval a pou§tel vodu, ptibijel kmeny sVorkami k voziku, rozineloval, neustale poktikoVal na lidi a pohanel je; vaude bylo pino, pobihal mezi ostatnimi .jako stehlik v konopi, jeho eervena, zelene pruhovana, vesta a siva beranice se jen mihaly tu na podezde, tu zas tam, kde se odsekavalo dievo na snehu, u§lapanem a pinem ttisek; ted' odskoeil do mlYna, fined nato rozmlouval s lidmi, rozkazdval, smal se, vtipkoval, pohvizdoval, pracoval s ohnem; ale nejeaste.ji ho •bylo videt na intstku pti pilach, proto2e , pila nemela, bodnYch sten a bylo ji videt naveskrz, yzna§ela se dost vysoko nad tekou na etytech mocnYch sloupech, do kterYch voda bila tak, le rakosova sttecha, optend jen na obou koncich pily, se nekdy rorttepala jako vich ye yetru. "ftaclnY chlapi to je, potvora," za§eptal Antek s uznanim, ale nikoli bez zlosti.

'Maio to bere!" mruoel Bartek.

Poplacali rukama o pale, protole mraz byl .stale tu2§i, a beze slova pracovali dal.

Lidstva bylo pii praci dost, ale na rozmluvu nebylo kdy — dva davali pozor pti pilach, odvalovali potezane kiddy a ptitahovali nove, jini dva zas rortinali neodtezane konce, skladali prkna do velikanskYch hranic anebo ty lehei a moktejS'i schovavali peed mrazem pod kiilnami; dalai dva loupali ktiru s dubti, jedli a smrkti, pii. demZ Bartek na ne velmi east° s vYsmechem volal: "Tak kdypak uz, vy rasikove §pinavi, piijdete k pohodnemu!"

• Zlobili se, protcde nestahovali KUM se psa, ale hadat se o ptezdivku, na to nebylo kdy. Matoua je prohanel tak, ae leda chvilemi, Akradkem, nekterY ociskoell do mlYnice, aby si ohtal ptemrzle ruce, a zase horernpadem pospichal nazpet. . prace je pohanela sama. tit za, fipineho soumraku se Antek dovlekl by tak promrzlY, unaveny a OderpanY, tak ho bolely vSecky kosti, fe lined po veeeti vlezl pod petinu a usnul jako dievo.

Hanka nemela odvahu, aby se ho 'na, neco vyptavala, ale snaaila se mu co moana udelat pohodli; oktikovala den, stareho napominala, aby nedupal, sama pak chodila po svetnici bosa, jenom aby ho neprobudila; za svitani, kdy se chystal do prace, mu uvatila, k brambo-

Strana 25 rum hrneeek mleka, aby se dosyta nay jedl a zahtal. `Aby to vaecko. . • hnaty me bon, ae se ani hnout nemohu!" zanatikal Antek. `To jenom z poeatku, nejste zvykl nejste zapracovanY," vysvetloval mu sta rY Bilica. .i-A-444 "Col o to, ja vim, ze to ptejde. HaprineseS mi obed?"

"Prinesu. . . piece se nebude'S honit takovY kus testy sem. to via, ze nesu."

A tak poealy dny take, tulle prace.

Jini si ho uz nev§imali, ale Antek pa kalde, kdyZ nee() zaslechl, vtel zlosti a nejednou zavreel tak, ze Matoua jenom oeima blYskl, ale znova, jakoby schvalne, se vkho chytal, ne rovnou do oei, nYbrZ po strane a vady trefil do nejcitlivejSibo mista, az Antek cely zkoprnel a pesti se mu sviraly; zditoval se vaak, co niohl, vaechna Oka' jenom v =pa, meti shromald'oval. . . citil dobte; Matoua Coca na ptilefitost, aby ha vyhnal z prace.
