Snad ZatInY' ufednik SPJST nedostane takove innoZstvi pratelskYch dopisti jako redaktor. Nemine ani jeden tYclen, aby redaktor nedostal zpravu o tom nebo onom zajimavem bodu, nebo soukrome u.pozorneni na pottebnou opravu. Mnohdy se etenati divi, odkud bere redaktor sve rozmanite napady.Dosta.va je od elenu. Prijde dopis od nekoho, kdo nikdy nepiIe do Vestniku. Hned na zacatku stoji: Toto je soukromY nahled. PouZij z toho neco pro sve redakeni tivahy. Neabys mne jmenoval. Obal to do syYch slov a dej to druhYm elentim, at' o tom premy-Ileji. Ty to dovedeI, a Jednota, ma z toho prospech.

Alinuteho Odne dostal jsem dva pfatelskd dopisy podobneho razu. Oba navazuji na, neclavnY elanek ye Vestniku o einnosti v distriktech. V jednom dopise stoji: "Popisuje g , jak to slo v nail distriktni schrizi a davam Ti za pravdu, ze jsme neudelali nic a ze cele to rokovani nevedlo k nioemu. Abych rekl pravdu, pochybuji, ze nekterY jinY distrikt by se narn mohl rovnati v tom, jak my male ✓ nail distriktni schtizi projedname, co bylo by pro dobro cele Jednoty. Nic do schrize neprineseme, a take o nieem distriktni schtzi nejedname. Nebudu se zlobit, kdyZ toto, co Ti pisi, uverejniI. Ale.mush to bYt od nejmenovaneho bratra."

V druhem dfivernem dopisu je toho hodne vice, ale vybiram z onoho dopisu jen veci neosobni. "Distriktni schrize je vec docela nova. Nejdrive Cleni museji poznat, ze distrikty byly savedeny pro vIeobecrie zlepIent Kdysi jsme se museli spokojiti blativkmi cestami.

Dries kaZdY dobrY farmar ma vyIterkovanou cestu a.Z k svemu domovu. Kdysi jsme pojiIt'ovali jen do 45 rokti a do 50. Tines zavedli jsme pojiIteni pro starIi eleny. Ale dosud nedelame rozdil mezi mezi a zenami, ale mohli bychom pro elenkyne poskytovati pojistky lacinejIi. Myslim, ze to deny neornrzi a ae Ti budou vdeeni kdyz budeS" stale pripominat, ze ode dne'dka by distriktni schfize mely podavati pokyny pro zlepdeni v Jednoty a nejake dodatky na opravy stanov."

Dostal jsern tez vS, stiiiek z kteOchsi americkS7ch novin, ptidpendlenSr na archu papiru, kde jeden bratr mne abych to preloN1 a sam k tomu neco VSistrUek je referat z konference, • kterou president Eisenhower mel neddvno s americkkmi novindri. Oni ti chlapici od novin kladou nekdy opovalive ctdzky samotnemu presidentu. Ptali se ho, zdali mel jake rozhodujici slovo tenkrat, kdyz mel bSt vybiranSi mistopresi-

Ve stPedu, tine 15. ecrVna 1955. dent. Otazka byla troche smeld, ale president na ni odnovedel. Ano, on mel slovo pri vYberu osoby pro iriad mistoprestdenta. Pry napsal jmena pal muffi, hodne mladIich neZ byl s,am, ze kterYkoliv z nick udela dobreho mistopresidena.

Novindri se ptali dale, proe pedal takeye doporneeni, nebo proe nezustal ripine neutralni. A zde je odpoved presidenta Eisenhowera, uprimna, nevyhYbava, naznacujici jak mezi na zodpovednYch rnistech mysli dopreclu. "Take na nejvyIIich mistech ye vlade, mezi presidentem a jeho pomocniky, je treba yzajemnelio Porozumeni a spoluprace. Mame za dneInich dna takovou vlacitt, ze soueinnost (teamwork) je velice drdelita. Kdyby president byl pozdeji neschopen, byl zabit nebo zemrel, bylo by to prolvladu yelice osudne, kdyby na i-ipraz 'nene misto nastoupil 11111, kterY by nemel stejne nahledy jako jeho predchridce. Kdyby president zemrel, nastalo by napeti a nejistota, ktere by se stupriovalo nastolenim mute, kterY by mel docela jine nazory a plany neZ zesnulY president.

Takova, nepripravenost by pfisobila zma tek. Proto vernal., kdyby nebylo mezi presicientem a mistopresidentem vzajernneho porozumeni a spoluprace, vyvstala by nemoZna situate. Verim, ze mistopresident ma bYti stale po boku presiclenta a ma bYt jeho prava, ruka. NdS mistopresident to kona."

Kdyi jsem dostal tento v3-istriielt a pi.eCeti jej, nevenoval jsem mu mnoho pozornosti. ()dial jsem ho stranou na stolek jako neco, co nema nic spoleeneho s nail SPJST. Za den el za dva Ceti jsem vYstriZek znovu. Rozbresklo se mi v hlave. Valye my prave potrebujerne si vIimnout slov presidenta Eisenhowera.

V naIem hlavnim. vedeni rovnez potrebujeme spolupraci co nejuZIi. Nemain na mysli jen harmonii, ale take sestaveni prate, aby byla co nejlepIi soueinnost.

My mime predsedu a mistopredsedu, oba clobri iirednici, ale my nemame to sestaveni, jako ma mitt osmimilionovY obchod. Vezmete si kterYkoliv velikS7 peneZni ristav a mate tarn lidi, kteri postupuji stale nahoru od funkci mene dulelitYch k tern vice zodpovecinSim. NCI bkvalk mistopredseda byl dosti dobre obeznamenY s celou maIinerii v Ustredi.

Ale aZ do-. sud ZadnY z naIich mistoprecifiedii--a pisatel techto radlcu mluvi ze zkuknosti, nonevad2 byl teZ mistopredsedou Jedno• ty—nebyl talc zapracovan, aby v pripadu smrti, resignace, nebo trvaleho zneschopneni predsedy mohl itspeIne prejmouti vIechno vedeni Jednoty. Ann, jmeno a nrad by mohl prejmouti, ale die

Ve stredu, dne 15. eerVna 1955. slov Eisenhowera, "takova nepripravenost by pusobila zmatek." A to nemusi bYti ani z fist presidenta SpojenYch state, to varn kekne kaZdY mladik, kterY mel zakladni kurs obchodni administrativy.

NepatrnY a na pohled bezyYznamnY y YsttiZek od nejmenovaneho bratra ptivedl mne k cele lade avah. Sahnul jsem po informacich, jak to maji ti jinych bratrskYch jednot zavedeno. Jejich problemy jsou podobne natim problemtim.

Organisace, ktere jsou tkikrat, petkrat, desetkrat yetti ne2 jsme my, maji keditele (sbor keditelii, board of trustees, board of directors) a maji jmenevane podakedniky. U nekterYch spolkti maji pkedsedu teditelti, tak zvaneho "chairman of the board," a take ptedsedu, kterY je vYkonnYm atednikem. U jinych spolkti "chairman" a ptedseda zastupuje dvoji Iunkci. Nebudu jmenovati ZadnY spolek, bylo by to, zabihani do detaila.

Nekde, vlastne u vettiny spolku, mail ared tajemnika a pokladnika spojeno v jeden Mad, ale obyeejne maji bud' investieni vYbor nebo in yestieniho manaZera. Ale seznal jsem, Ze u vtech bratrskYch jednot to velikosti jako nate SPJST nebo vettich, ,s- vYjimkou jednoho deskeho spolku, maji jednoho nebo dva einne mistoptedsedy, kteti iitaduji kancelatich asttedi. Tito mistoptedsedoye maji razne funkce, ale jsou v Ustredi stale.

Snad i v nett SPJST melt bychom pomalu pomYtleti na to, Ze nestadi nam miti jen akedniky, ale musime ter zapra,covati nejake podakedniky.

VESTNfX -- WEST, TEXAS

Vzporninka na jednoho z nesmrtelnfrch Edgar Allan Poe brz oa prima": Dozna,.. menane dite neklidu, ale zanechal za sebou dilo, jei pftjde ZadnY americkY basnik nema vagiho prava bYt nazYvan geniem ne2 Edgar Al-' lan Poe. V jeho poesii najdete rytmus hudebni spojenY s krasnYmi a mocne sobicimi slovy. Jeho povidky, prekrasne napsane, zahalene v rou gku tajemnosti a fantastienosti, jsou do dnes eteny po celem svete. Jeho pribehy jsou predchfidci rnodernich detektivnich romanti.

Poe se narodil v Bostonu v r. 1809. Stal se sirotkena, kdy niu byly tri roky a byl adoptovan zamo gnou rodinou z Virginie, jinenem Allan. Chlapec v,yrostl v prepychovem ovzduSi, pozdeji navAtevoval universitu ye Virginii. Aekoliv byl vYborny student, byla v nem soueasne va gen pro hazardni hry a piti; proto se gel se studii a vstoupil do armady. Po dobu sveho pobytu ye West Point se dozvedel, ze jeho otec se znovu olenil. Nasledkem toho on, adoptovanY syn, zustal Upine bez penez.

Pozdeji byl propuSten z vojenske akademie pro sve nepristojne chovani.

Zlomiv vgechna pouta viliciho jej k Allanove rodine, pokou gel se sam probit se. Psal basne i kratkou povidku nazvanou "Rukopis nalezenY v lahvi", jeZ mu ziskala cenu v roku 1833. Pak pracoval v redakci easopisu "JiZni Literarni Zpravodaj" (Southern Literary Messenger), v Richmondu ye Virginii aZ do roku 1836, kdy se olenil se svou sestrenici Virginii Clemmensovou.

Pak prigla leta stradani. Aekoliv jeho vytvory presahovaly daleko pi-timer etenart, nebo prave proto, byl Poe placen velmi uboze za sva v pravde mistrovska dila. Jeho po-vidky nebyly u prumernYch etendrft popularni.

Prestehoval se pak do Fordhanu, tehdy predmesti New York mesta, se svou Zenou a jeji matkou.

Jeho Zeno, se pak brzy po to stala invalidni a jeho zoufalstvi nad tim najdeme vyjadreno v jeho dilech, nebot' Poe ji velmi mildval.

Nebylo v dome east) ani toho nejnutnej gillo a Poe a jeho tchYne chodili od jednoho nakladatele k druhemu, snazice se za kaZdou cenu prodat baseh nebo povidku, dila, je g mela bYt prijimana viastile jako mistrovska.

Zena Poeova zemrela v roku 1847 a Msnik se oddal bezmeznemu zoufalstvi . ZaCal take pit a nenavidet lidi. Zemrel opuSten, bez pratel v Baltimore, dne 7. rijna 1349. Poeova dila zrcadli smutek jeho vota, neklid jeho 'duse. Napsal svou vlastni historii kdy ye svem znamem dile "Havranech", "Neaprosne negtesti nasledovalo jedno za druhYm

plies pa totika letech po jeno smrti, si uvedomujeme nesmirnou hodnotu jeho dila; jeho povidky jsou razeny k tern nejlepSim v americke literature, oblibeny jsouce jak starSimi tak mladeli.

Jeho literarni Zivotopisee, Rufus Griswold napsal o nem v nasledujicim smyslu: "Ztistava nejostreji vyhranenou osobnosti v na gi literdrni historii. MfiZeme jit jegte dale a rici v Ze jak jell° verge tak i prosa maji sve misto ye svetove literature."

Poe mel 5 stop a 8 paid'', mel tmave, spige eerne vlasy, jeZ byly diouhe a eesany ye studentskern stylu pies u gi. Byly jemne jako hedvabi. Jeho oei byly velke, Sedive a pronikave. Nenosil vabec vows.

Nos mel dlouhY a rovnY, jeho tahy byly jenme rezany . VYraz jeho fist byl prekrasnY. Jeho kfiZe .mela jasnou, krasnou barvu olivy. Mel smutnY, melancholickY pohled a byl velmi StihlY, ale mel peknou postavu, a rychlY krok. Nejvice okouzloval jeho zptisob chovani. Byl nanejyYS elegantni. Kdy2 se na vas dival, zdalo se, vam, ze ete vase rny glenky. Jeho hlas-byl prijemnY, melodickY, ale ne hlubokY. Vkly nosil Cerny frak, eernou kravatu s volnYm uzlem, jak jsme podotkli na jinem miste, ale neridil se dle mody, nYbrZ mel vhly vlastni svaj zpilsob oblekani.

Na pametni desce Poeove a Whisterove ye West Pointu nalezneme od Francise Bacona vYrok, vYstrZne vyjadrujici tyto basniky: "Neni takove dokonale krasy, ktera by nemela nee° podivneho ye svem sloleni."

Nebylo laskavejSiho mute. Nemohl nikdo rychleji jednat Slo-li o odeineni nejake krivdy.

WHAT'S A FLAG? WHAT'S THE LOVE of country for which it stands? It is small things that we remember, the little corners of the land, the houses, the people that we love. It is voices that are remembered only, no longer heard.

It is parents, friends, it is the ease of mind that makes life tranquil. It isummer and winter, rain and slue and storm. It is flesh of our flesh, bone of our bones, blood of our blood, a lasting part of what we are, each of us and all of us together.

WHAT ELSE IS A FLAG? IT IS A great multitude of people, common and ordinary people, charged with the usual human failings, yet filled with such a hope as never caught the imagination and the heart of any nation on earth before. The hope of liberty. The hope of justice. The hope of a land in which a man can stand straight, without fear.

• THE LAND AND THE PEOPLE AND the flag—all as a unit—the land a continent; the people of every race, the flag a symbol of what humanity may aspire to. The flag—a constant reminder that each generation must be dedicated and consecrated anew, that each generation must defend the rights of hum) nity with life itself, if need be, but above all, in friendliness, in hope, in courage to live for better future.

• • MANY YEARS AGO PRESIDENT Woodrow Wilson declared: "The flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation. It has no other character than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute those choices, whether in peace or in war. And yet, though silent, it speaks to us—speaks to us of the past, of the men and women who went before us, and of the records they wrote upon. it. We celebrate the day of its birth; and from its birth until now it has witnessed a great history, has floated on high the symbol of great events, or a great plan of life worked out by a great people ...

The name of the fraternal organization is left out from the reprint.

If you place the letters SPJST where the dashes are, you have an article written especially for you.)

With the rushing of the summer

These district meetings are serious serious business and, therefore, should be taken seriously. What is to be accomplished in the next months depends on the course of action our districts take at these confabs. For that reason those who come.to the district meetings should propose only suggestions and recommendations which are designed to benefit the — — — and the districts.

At these meetings, no one,"hould lose sight of the aims and purposes of districts. To refreshen your memory, allow us to quote Paragraph xx of the District By-laws, on page xx of the Constitution and By-laws of the — — —: "The purpose of the District is to gather members of the Junior Department and the Adult Department into a closer union; to aid in the promotion of the social, cultural, and org■anizatiot'ial activities; to assist in forming more Youth Clubs for the 'development of talents of younger members; and to form such other gatherings which may promote the culture of our people."

There you have it.

In addition, our By-laws distinctly suggest that districts are to conduct different contests and exhibitions.

Our districts receive financial support from the supreme headquarters for their undertakings and administration purposes. This money should be used wisely by the officers of the districts, so that satisfactory returns are forthcoming.

And to execute concrete programs in the districts, we must have competent leaders with executive ability serving as officers in districts. There is no room for politics when it comes to election of officers. This is mighty important.

All lodges in the district are to be represented in the district meetings. Be sure that your lodge appoints or elects delegates.

Familiarize yourself with your district and with its programs in the past. Find out what meetings had been outstanding and what meetings failed to carry out the aims and purposes. of your district. Then attend the next meeting prepared with constructive recommendations for the good and welfare of the district and the entire — — —.

SPJST Member In Pakistan

Your editor received a two-months old copy of the Rosenberg Herald, from which we learned that Brother John E. Zemanek, a member of Needville Lodge No. 81, is now located on the other side of the world, in East Pakistan. A small world these days, and we cannot say any more that our SPJST membership is limited to the state of Texas.

We take the liberty of publishing the picture of John E. Zemanek in the Czech section. Here is the report taken from the Rosenberg Herald: John E. Zemanek, formerly of Route 1, Needville, left Houston last Wednesday night for Washington and New York, from where he departed on April 11 to spend up to two years in East Pakistan.

Zemanek will serve as architectural advisor to the government of East Pakistan with the United States Foreign Operations Administration mission, in Dacca.

In his capacity, he will give technical assistance to the East Fakistanian government in all of their building projects, both public and private. Included will be community planning, housing, and industrial' development.

Zemanek is a 1939 graduate of Richmond High School. His father, John Zemanek, resides in the Long Point Community. Two sisters, Mrs. Marvin Lenert and Mrs. Ela Suchma, live in Rosenberg.

Zemanek received a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas A and M College in 1943. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree for the University of Texas in 1946 and a Master of Architecture degree there in 1947. He was awarded a Master of. City Planning degree from Harvard University in 1949.

He served with the 15th Air Force as a first lieutenant in Italy during World War II and worked in a civilian capacity with the air force in Japan in air base planning in 1951 and 1952.

He began his work with the Foreign Operations Administration on March 17.

The Nazis' Trojan Horse

Have Your Choice

Until a short time ago, the world's military leaders still wondered how the Nazis were able to capture Poland in twenty-seven days in September 1939, when that country was well prepared for war. Now it is known that the Germans succeeded because they had done their espionage work so completely, even having obtained secrets possessed by only a few Polish Army officers. Then this work of thousands of spies was climaxed by one of the most brazen espionage tricks of all time. The Ufa film company in Berlin obtained the permission of Polish authorities to make a movie to be called Poland's Glorious AchieveTents. Several Ufa production units spent four months taking a million feet of film, much of it within fortifications, munition dumps, war plants, etc. The picture was a "glorious achievement" of the Nazi secret service.

Brtoz:EN He was redheaded, freckle-faced, and sixteen. Like so many lads of that age; he was fascinated by automobiles----especially the extra low, extra sleek, extra snappy models. Across the road and a feW- rods up the ridge from his home, lived a genial hill rancher Who had known and loved the boy since babyhood. With great • interest and often, a tactful word of advice he had watched him come to the threshold of maturity. Indeed, so great was their attachment each for the other that they were almost like father and son.

RULES

(By Sanford T. Whitman) it was beyond repair. Eloquent was its message.

The elderly neighbor was amazed at the lad's forthrightness. "It was my fault," the young man admitted ruefully.

"I asked for it, and I got what z asked for. I broke the rules. What else could I expect?"

Iih the weeks that followed, the boy's words were often in the old man's thoughts. Broken rules! Broken cars!

Broken hopes! How true, and how often witnessed! Yet how unwilling we are On his sixteenth birthday the young to accept the fact! man passed his driVing test and became Broken safety rules!

Oh, the witchery of sin that so clDrk.-red coupe he had had his eye on many in the world today should know for weeks. this, yet drive carelessly!

It was not as foolhardy as it appeared.

He had been well brought up, and was obedient and devoted to his parents.

Definitely he was not wild. The car he selected was a used model, in good mechanical condition, and not too highly priced. His father insisted that it should be a cash transaction and that his son should assume full responsibility for his car and his driving.

Everything about the purchase of the me,v car was right and proper, and the elderly farmer, as interested and concerned as a parent, was glad about it all.

Nevertheless, high-powered automobiles and teen-age exuberance do Make a potent combination. The entire neighborhood watched and waited with some misgivings.

For a month everything went well.

Two•more months went by without incident. And then one glorious summer evening, with a spanking sea wind raking the world of hills and valleys, it happened. Too many boys in the front seat.

Too many miles per hour. Too sharp a carve. The car plunged off the road, Tu:(:;; a' front and rear fender on a tree, a wheel in the ditch, the other two fenders on.?'a power pole, and crash landed on its'side against a rocky bank. MiractilOusly, no one was seriously hurt.

Friends what are you doing with the great rules of life? Are you driving safely—or taking the curves too fast? — Signs of the Times. t- 4 ( A young New York model, originally from a small town (pop. 480), invited her widowed father for his first visit to the Big Town and got him a room in her hotel.

Well, the first day was spent sightseeing, and late in the afternoon the girl left her father at his room with instruction to be ready for dinner around seven.

Promptly at seven she phoned him from her room. No answer. PuzAd, she asked the operator to try again. Still no answer. Suddenly her face lighted up.

"Operator," she called, "try one long ring and three short ones, will you?"

Her father picked up to phone immediately. One long and three shorts was his party-line signal back hone!

THE AMERICAN FLAG I. Colors of Flag When Freedom from her mountainheight Unfurled her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of Night And set the stars of glory there!

She mingled, with its gorgeous dyes, The milky baldric of the skies, And striped its pure, celestial white With streakings of the morning light.

Then, from his mansion in the sun, She called her eagle-bearer down, And gave into his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land.

U. Apostrophe to the. Eagle Majestic Monarch of the cloud!

Who rear'st aloft thy regal form To hear the tempest-thrumpings loud And see the lightning-lances driven When strides the warrior of the storm, And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven : Child of the sun! to thee 'tis given To guard the banner of the free; To hover in the sulphur-smoke, To ward away the battle-stroke, And bid its blending's shine afar Like rainbows on the cloud of war, The harbingers of victory.

---- III. Apostrophe tc: the Flag.

A) The Foot-Soldier.

Flag of the brave! Thy folds shall fly, The sign of hope and triumph high, When speaks the signal trumpet-tone, And the long line comes gleaming on.

Ere yet the lifeblood, warm and wet, Has dimmed the glist'ning bayonet, Each soldier-eye shall brightly turn

To where thy sky-born glories burn, And, as his springing steps advance, Catch war and vengeance from the' glance.

B) The Cavalryman.

And, when the cannon-mouthings loud Heave in wild wreaths the battleshroud, And gory sabres rise and fall Like shoots of flame on, midnight's pall: There shall thy victor-glances glow, And cow'ring foes shall shrink beneath Each gallant arm that strikes below That lovely messenger of death!

C) The Sailor Flag of the seat! on ocean-wave Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave.

When Death, careering on the gale, Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail, And frightened waves rush madly back Before the broadside's reeling rack; The dying wand'rer of the Shall Wok alone to heaven and thee, And smile to see thy splendors fly In triumph o'er his closing eye.

IV. Finale. (Prophetic) Flag of the free heart's hope and home By angels-hands to valor given, Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, And all thy hues were born in heaven!

And, fixed as yonder orb divine That saw thy bannered blaze unfurled, Shall thy proud stars resplendent shine, The guard and glory of the world!

These expenditures amount to approximately 60 million dollars more than the antic i pated revenues for the next two rars. This condition made the increase in taxes necessary.

The Senate passed a D111 this week wheib would strengthen the law on sale of alcoholic beverages to minors. The bill provides that the employe or waitress who actually sells the beer or whiskey will be subject to a fine of from $10.00 to $100.00 for the first offense and ap to $500.00 for the second offense. Besides this, the person holding the license can be fined up to $1000.00 or be given a jail sentence up to one year, or both.

The bill also makes it a violation of the law for a minor to purchase, possess, or consume alcoholic beverages in a public place and fixes a penalty in the form of a fine of from $10.00 to $100.00 1, , r a violation. A minor can possess or consume beer in a public place if accompanied by a parent, guardian, or by an adult spouse.

TI, Ore have been many complaints of alcoholic beverages to minors. The supporters of this new legislation felt that the presant law should be strengthened.

The Legislature has been in session 145 days. The regular 120-day session ended on May 10th. Since that day the members have received no pay. The feel-

• • The Legislature adjourned at 6 p.m. on Tuesday this week. The session lasted 148 days. For the last 28 days the members received no pay.

At this session, there was more money appropriated for State services, including schools, welfare, highways, state departments and state institutions, than ever before in history. This resulted in the passage of a tax bill increasing taxes on beer, cigarettes, gasoline and corporation franchises. There were more demands and requersts for state funds at this session than ever before. Even with the money which the State will receive from the new taxes there wasn't enough to take care of all projects. Many worthy projects had to be turned down.

We are inforrn:d that the tax picture is not good for the future. With the growth of Texas the expenses increase each year. As the scholastic population increases it means more teachers, and as the population increases the number of people in the State hospitals, penitentiary and institutions increases. This means more buildings and facilities are needed, all of which must be paid for with tax money. It is unfortunate that a few industries must pay most of the taxes while many are receiving a "free ride" and pay nothing toward the running of their state government.

At this session there were more than a dozen bills passed which will strengthen the insurance law. These laws will go into effect on September 1st of this year. The people should be on the lookout for tho-2 who will try to sell them all kinds f securities and stocks bew and September 1st.

tory of M n Who Wanted to Surrender Once there was a man. who needed money. He decided to surrender his life insurance for its cash value and telephoned his salesman to tell him of his -decision.

He was not greatly surprised when the salesman appeared on his threshold the next day. He had suspected this would happen, so he prepared all his answers in advance and laid his life insurance policies on his desk.

The salesman said, "I don't like to see a man give up the protection that life insurance gives him and his family, Tell me, how much money do you really need?"

"All I can get," the policyholder answered.

"In that case," the salesman, said, "why don't you surrender all of your insurance?"

"Thats what I intend to do."

"But you haven't brought out your fire policies," the salesman observed.

"They have a cash surrender value, too."

"Now you're kidding, I couldn't giVe up my fire insurance. What would I do if we had a fire?"

"Well, look at it this way: how many of your friends have had fires since they owned fire insurance?"

The. policyholder admitted that none of his friends had ever had a fire. "But," he told the agent, "I have to keep up my fire insurance on account of the mortgage."

"Did you say 'mortgage' or 'marriage'?" the salesman asked. Then without waiting for a reply, he added, "Then there's your automobile insurance. You could get a refund of unearned premium on that."

"You're kidding again. What with the damage judgments being handed out these clays and the costs of repairs being what they are, I'd have to lay up the car.

My wife would never stand for that. She and the kids would have to walk."

"Did you say 'walk' or 'work'?" the agent asked; then continued, "All right then, we'll surrender all the life insurance you own at the moment. But tell rr e, do you think you might ever buy any life insurance again?"

"I imagine so. Why?" "Well, naturally, if you should, I'd iike to have you buy it from me."

"I'd be glad to."

"Thanks," said the salesman. "To tell the truth, I could offer you a tremendous bargain right now— the biggest bargain I could ever offer. Think you'd be interested?"

"I might be interested, but I'm not saying I'd buy."

"You don't have to," the salesman assured him, then picked up one of the life insurance contracts lying on the desk. Lets see, I can offer you this $5,000 ordinary life policy, which you had bought 15 years ago when you were 25, for almost $35 a. year less than I'd sell it to a.ny other man of your age and in good health."

"You would?"

"Sure, I would."

"But why me? How can you offer me something that you wouldn't offer anybody else?"

"Because I did it for you once before, and you took it. Now I offer it to you again." The salesman handed the policy to his client saying: "Here is a bigger bargain in life insurance than you'll ever be able to get for the rest of your life. Keep this policy, and the others.

You'll never get anything like them again."

insurance."

"How do you know? The only ones who could know that would be your family and friends—in the event you were taken away from them tomorrow,, or next month, or next year."

The man who thought he had all the answers found himself groping for one.

The salesman didn't wait for him to find it. He resumed: "My advice and it comes right from my heart—is for you to go out and borrow the money. Borrow it any old way, but don't sacrifice the money, the equity, the protection you already have in your life insurance —for if you do, they will surely ' come when you, or your family, will reg'r'et it."

The man who thought he had all the answers came up with one he hadn't planned on. He said, "You're right."

And the man really knew all the answers—and the right ones--smiled that understanding smile which comes "That's all very well, but right now from experience. — A.O.U.W. of Minile sota.

"U ri gs bYval Kuba, kterY chodil s pany do lesa, ale ten unnel!" prohodil Antek a zvedl se, protole MatouS uZ za stenou volal: "Pojd'te, pojd'te, to by tak bylo, drtet poledne az do veeera!"

Antka popadla zlost, vybehl yen a krikl: "Nehulakej zbyteene, nejsme hlugi!"

"Nagral se masa, tak ted' kkiei, aby se mu to slehlo v panderu!" kekl Bartek.

Matoug zmlkl, dival se jen jako zbojnik; celY den pak slova na nikoha ne, promluvil, jenorn pilne dohlitel na Antkovu praci a hlidal ho pki katdem kroku; nemohl vg ak najit tadnou zaminku; protate Antek pracoval tak svedomite, si toho vg iml sam mlynak, kterY nekolikrat za den pkichazel se podivat na praci a ktery mu pak pki prvni Opiate pkidal jests tri zlate.

Matoug se vztekal, mlynaki to pkedhazoval, ale ten kekl: "Ty jsi mi utiteenY, ale on taky, jako kaalY, kdo ko.dne pracuje."

"To jenom mne na zlost jste mu phdal."

"Jeho prace staji zrovna za tolik co Bartkova,, moZna„ ze i za vic; . proto jsern mu pkidal. Jsem spravedlivY elovek, to mute kahlY videt."

"Ja yam s tim vg irn seknu, at si pak dela, kdo chce," vyhrotoval Matoug.

Matoug nechal vyhrotovani — veal, ze nlynar neustoupi a neda si nalina,t strachu; nenalehal 0 a si zlost na Antka hluboko do prsou, kde ho palila jako 1-ivy oheri; vuei ostatnim se.; vSak choval mekeeji a uznaleji; vAlehni si toho vsimli. Bartek si odplivl a kekl: "Je hloupY jako ten pes, as nemohl, ukousnout botu. . . dostal od neho hubu a ted' se k nemu lisa. Myslil, je ve z ylaStni °Ube, a zatirn ho vyZe7.;' nou, jen co najdou lepSiho. . . tak to je u bohaeil vZdycky. . ."

Antkovi vSak bylo vSecko jedno, ani se zvlaSt' neradoval ze zvykni platu, ani ho priliS neteSilo. ze IVIatouSovi spadl hrebinek a ze si z neho cela. ` yes tropi posmech; na tom, a eem se mluvilo praci, mu zaleZelo asi tolik jako na skein snehu, ba jeSte Vaal pro penize, ktere tally Hanku, d1-el protote se mu to zrovna libilo; kdyby byl dostal chut' polekt si na hitete zastal by leZet, at' by se delo cokoliv.

Jednou kratce pied svatky se setkal rano s kovakern; chtel se mu vyhnout, ale kovak mu zastoupil cestu, prvni mu podaval ruku a kekl vlidne, skoro litostive: ‘tekal jsem, ze k nam pkijdeS' jako pkatelum. . poradil bych, pomohl, pkestole ant u nos nevi nazbyt, . ."

Antek usedl pod cylindrem, kde mleli nejjemnejSi mouku, nahodou zrovna proti otevrenYm dverim svetnieky, talde videl MatouSova zada a hlavy ostatnich, kteri byli k MatouSovi obraceni a naslouchali mu; byl by mohl dokonce slyet, o cem miuvi, protok nebyli daleko, klapot InlYna. mu • vSak v tom branil a on sam ani nechtel poslouchat.

Dvere k vYchodu vedly prave od svetnieky; kdyZ tudy prechazel a uZ bral za kliku, nahle se zastavil, protole jak MatouS vyklada: sam vaii mleko nebo eaj a nosi ji to do postele. . . sam pry opatruje kravy a s Jagustynkou vSecko obstarava, jenom aby si ona rueielcy nezamazala. . . pry ji koupil i hrnek, aby se nenastudila, kdyby musila jit za stodolu. . ."

Ve svetnici se rozlehl hluenY stanch, vtipy padaly jako krupobiti.
