FR ATERNALISTt YLI JSME NEDAVNO VOLANI do poradni schtize reditelstva Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu—totid bratr Chupick a redaktor.

Schtize byla v Mineral Wells, zapadne od Fort Worth, kde v listopadu bude zasedani teto bratrske federate. Bratr Chupick byl nap ped nekolik roku teditelem v\i:ntIneho vYboru, pak mistoptedsedou roku postoupi za p •edsedu or,atli-ace; redaktor Vestniku je druhou lhota tajemnikem reklamniho oddeleni.

Do poradni schaze teditelstva ptijelo neco pies dvacet osob, ale pouze dva byjsme od nati Jednoty. Kdyd jsme sedeli kolem stolu a rokovali a prograrnu listopadoveho zasedani, uvadoval jsem o tom, kolik jinYch spolkii bylo zastoupeno. A take mne napadlo, jak velmi 1,1;,10 vime, o praci jedni druhYch. Z,ajimal jsem, se a einnost jinYch bratrskYch jednot od doby, kdy stal jsem se elenem Hlavni Utadovny, telly vice ned tticet let. S poeatku nevedel jsem, ze stave nejake spoleene teleso, ktere se rok od roku schazi, aby zastupci jednotlivYch spolkti vymenili mezi sebou hledy, poznali sve spoleene snahy, a poudili se mezi sebou jako bratti. To jsem poznal az mnohem pozde'ji. ZveclaYost mne vedla, ze jsem pied sjezdem ✓ Corpus Christi dopsal na, tajemnika Narodniho kongresu, abych zjistil, za. jakYch podininek by rase SPJST mohla, se stati elenem tohoto narodniho telesa.

VYsledek byl, Z:,e do sjezdu v roku 1944 pritlo pozvani, aby nate Jednota se priBratr Steiner promluvil tenkrat k veci velmi vYstidne a logicky, a dele• odhlasovali, aby SPJST byla D cal Narodndho bratrskeho kongresu.

V listopadu 1950, kdy jsem na, zapienou psal twahy pro tedce nernocneho redaktora Moueku, chtel jsem bYt piito-

TEXASU

men zasedani Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu v Dallasu, abych naeerpal vice informaci, jak druzi pracuji. Pravidelne zamestnani na potte a pra,videlna navtteva universitnich kurs y mne to nedovolila. Poslal jsem za sebe svou mandelku.

Math° roku jel jsem do zasedani NArodniho bratrskeho kongresu. Ptemluvil jsem bratra, Marka, aby jel ten. Od to doby nevynechal jsem ani jedno zasedani. Byl jsem veden, snahou, aby nate Jednota, nebyla nejmenti a posledni, aby se nam druzi nesmali z natich inicialek, jak tomu bylo pri zasedani Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu v Corpus Christi v roku 1951. Tenkrdt jsem si uminil,,ze pismena SPJST nebudou k srnichu druhYch, Ze svym dfistojnYm vystupovanim, syYmi progresivnim jednanim, FvYmi organisatorskymi kursy, nate pismena dostanou pattienY respekt. Nepodatilo se to apine, ale mohu tici, ze v poslednich dvou letech neslytel jsem o natl. Jednote nebo a natich inicialkach dadne dertovne nebo asmetne poznamky. tryyky a citaty z nateho Vestniku, z anglicke east, east° najdu v jinYch bratrskych listech.

To vaechno mi viiilo hlavou, kdyd jsem seciel s bratrem Chupickem ye schazi v Mineral Wells. VYsledek takovYch zajezda a aeast na praci spolkove v tirtim metitku neni viditelna, ale.dostavi se pozdeji. Vydani s tim spojene je jednou z nejleptich investici— jestli ten, kdo vedamosti, takto nabyte, dovede pozdeji upottebiti. Jednota a Vestnik z ti*ch zajezda tkody nema a miti nebude.

V Texasu memo pal milionu fraternaelerra bratrskych a sesterskYch podpiirnYch spolkd, pojitt'ujicich sve eleny na, divot, y nemoci a itrazu, vydrdujici nemocnice, domovy pro starce, davajici svym elenam rozmanitou po-

od redaktora...

Vzpominam, ie kdysi pied mnoha lety videl jsem ye Vestniku oznamku mesta Waco, kdy se uchazelo, abychom tam umistili na gi iisttednu. Dosud si mohu piedstavit obrazek v one oznamce: mapa Texasu, srdce uprostied, od neho g g ly paprsky na v g echny strany.

Nejlepe sveho ilkolu se zhostil bratr Raymond Urbanovskk. Aekl sve poselstvi struene, nekolika, jadrnkmi vetami, a sklidil za to potlesk nejvetg i. Tak to ma, bkt—nekolik kratkkch, struenkch, obsahove vkznamnkch vet, trvajicich d y e nebo tit minuty upine postai, kdy je cela, ta,da teenikt. Jakekoliv omlouvani, jako "chtel bych yam toho Mei hOdne vic, ale jsou tady druzi, kteti take chteji mluvit," gadnemu teeniku neslu g i. Zni to jako by se host omlouval, wytkrabuje misu.

SHLEDANi NA PUDE TEXASKE (1701cra6ovant)

(Napsal Josef Buriata r. 1897)

Druheho dne jeete za tmy vyjel lehkY 1,0/1k, tatenY dvema koniky ze dvora Taylorova, na nemt sedela pani Taylorova s obema sy Ymi ditkami a Marie se s yin Jeniekem, nastrojenYm v oblek, jciz mu tatinek z Mexika poslal. Po de-lorienni jizcle dorazily ku ptibuznYm na noc, druheho dne pak se et'astne do yect Oa dostaly do Houstonu. Pani Taylorova se brzy dovedela o pisarne, kde mantel jeji povinnost svou vykonaval a prekvapila jej jeete pit pra.ci, an zapisoval ptijate potteby behem dne do nlavnich• knih. Shledani mantela s man zelkou, ()tee s ditkami, bylo dojemne a Marie na to hledici jit si v duchu pfedstarovala, jake bude to jeji shleclani se s Jamul a kterak on radostne k srdci ptivirte sveho syndeka, jeji dosud jeete ne:,patrij.

Po i nvitani se ma,ntelft povedela pani TaN lorova ptieinu, proe se sem vydala.

Pan Taylor znal jit Jana Miku, neb !', e cloy ed& od chlaperi VariovYch, to on Jest tim, po nernt Marie touti a vedel take, kde jej nalezne. Mika co vycvieeny vojin, nebyl potahovan ku evideni novaeku nYbrt ptidelen byl k pluku jiti vyzbrojenernu kterY sestaval ponejvice 7 Mexikanri usazenYch ph Rio Grande na pude texaske. Pluk ten byl pfipraven k Yytrhnuti na bojiete, jakmile se ptiletitost k tomu nahodi. Dra.hy, vedouci na severovYchod byly neustale piny potravin, za vojskem zasilanYch, tak to na clopravu vojska se nedostavalo lokomotiv.

V dobe teto pak seslabend armada jinni pottebovala vice zasob net noveho mutstva. Ostatni staty jitni byly spustokny, tak ze z nich nebylo mono oeekavati zasob pro vojsko. Texas byl od litice ky nejvice ueetten a tudit se od nej vyiadovalo spice potravin net vojska. Pro to se davala ptednost doprave potravin na bojiete, kdetto vojsko se zatim sbiralo a cvieilo, aby pozdeji vyslano bylo tam, kde ho bude tteba. Tak se tedy stalo, to Jan Mika byl dosud v Houstonu, ae pluk jeho jiz Upine k boji vypravon a vycvleen byl.

Taylor se nejprve postaral o ubytovani ten a Mi., nebot' o to byla tehdy nouze nejvetel. Vee bylo ptepineno lidmi, iak budovy vetejne, tak soukrome a hotely zyldete. Proto potadal ptitele jednoho o ptijmuti rodiny do sveho domova, cot tento take ochotne ueinil. Nechal Ludy dopraviti rodinu do domu ptitelova a sam spechal do easti mesta, kde pluk Mikfiv ubytovan byl. Tamtet se nalezal Antonin Vella, jsa teprve ye sboru cvicondi a tomu nejprve vymohl dovolenou na nekolik hodin. Pak spechali ku budove, y nit se nalezal hlavni stair

velitelstvi pluku Mikova. Zde Taylor co vojenskY ditstojnik vymohl brzy &volenou Janovi a za hodinu po vstoupeni pani Taylorove do domu hostitelova se k temut domu blizili till mutt ye vojenskein stejnokroji .Taylor netekl Antoninovi ptieinu, prof jej a Miku sem vede, chtel je pfekvapiti. Po ceste nebylo take mnoho easu na yyptavani a tak vstoupili tito till ptichozi do domu jen nedostateene osvetleneho. Majitel uvital je a vedl dale do hovorny, z nit dolehal rozhovor vice lidi at na chodbu. Kdyt vstoupill, pokroeil Taylor s hostitelem syYrn ku stolu, kde sedely obe rodiny a mladi vojinove zristali u dveti stati. Pojednou pteruei yeeobecnY hovor vyktik tenskY: "Janeeku!" a net se Bela spoleenos• z pfekvapeni zpamatovala, jit si Jan a Marie v narudi hlasite gtkajice a vroucne se objimajice. Antonin pak uchopiv maleho Jenika na ruku, poeal jej laskati a ukazuje mu Miku, vysvetloval mu, ze je to tatinek, co mu ty nove eaty poslal. Tu se vzparnatovali et'astni ti lide ze sve blatenosti a Mika, pojav syndeka sveho do naruei, celoval jej, laskave s nim hovote, neveimaje si ostatniho okoli, jako by to byli jen oni sami, Seastni a blateni. Ostatni spoleCnost Amerikanri jen neme pohlitela na vYjev, ktery se tu odehraval a v. mnohSrch oeich leskly se slzy soucitu a radosti. Teprve po chvili se vzparnatoval nejprve hostitel a uvedl blatene ty lidi do vedleeiho pokoje, aby se tarn dale ze sveho et'astneho shleclani radovati a bez vytrhovani sobe pohovotiti mohli.

Mezi tim, co naei krajane se ye vedlejshm cele odevzdali sVemu etesti, hovoiili Amerikane o jejich osudu.-Mantele Taylorovi vypravovali, •-jak dalece vedeli, celY beh tivota obou milenco a litovali jich, ae po tak Wmthern ndlotieeni se shledali jen tak na knnko a k snad se opet, tfeba na >11v to 71onciti mush. Katde chvile mohI pia]; k Mika ptidelen byl, obdrtietl roikaz k oclchodu. Ze bude vyslan na boja-*, o tom nebylo tadne pochybnosti. Nest'ast1Ta valka si vytadala jit tolik nadejntich vote lidskYch a tu zajiste i tivot Mikftv mute v boji torn utracen bYti. Matka i dite pak mohou ositeti na vtdy a to v dobe, kdy se shledaly s otcem pa tolika letech.

Pit rokovani o osudu mladSrch tech lidi prohodila pani Taylorova,, ae 'by snad mohlo Wit aspori postarano o to, aby se stali zakonitYmi manaeli a ditko jejich, aby tak nabylo pra.va na, otce i jeho majetek. Veichni s tim souhlasili a oba mu tiove slibili, ze se ptietiho dne pokusl o

to, aby Jan a Marie byli zakonite oddani.

Pani Tayilorova vela ihned do vedlejeiho pokoje a sdelila tu Marii, na Cern se spoleenost usnesla. Kdyt to bylo Janovi pfetlumodeno, s radosti ptivolil a dekuje pani Taylorove za jeji neastenstvi, srdeene ji ruku stiskl. Bylo tedy ujednano, ae ptietiho dne oba panove se postarali o to, aby mladYm vojinfun byla udelena dovolend aspon na pul dne; pti Cant bride provedeno ritedni odda.ni mladeho parku opet zde v tomto dome. Na torn se usjednotivee, ubirali se pak oba vojinoye na sve stanoviete, aby tu oeeko.vali pfietiho dne, kdy Marie Va. tfoya mela bYti prohlakna fitedne za mantelku J na Miky. — Druheho dne easne z rail a dostavil se opet pan Taylor do kancelate pluku, k nemut Mika ptidelen byl a tu ku sve radosti zvedel, ze pluk dosud nedostal rozka.z ku pochodu. Brzy se dostayil tet plukovnik, kterY bez zdrahani vydal dovolenou Mikovi na celY den.

U oddeleni cvieencri, kdet se nalezal Antonin, obdrtel pan Taylor tea brzy dovolenou na celY den a tak spechali radost ne do domu v neint oddayTy provedeny bYti mely. Tam byl zatim ptivolan smirch soudce, kterY vyhotoviv pottebne listiny, prohlasil Jana Miku a Marii riovou za rnanteli.

BOX 400, TEMPLE, TEXAS DFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC

VESTNIK

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THE DEDICATION OF THE NEW hall of Lodge No. 66, of Waco, was an outstanding event, almost as inspirational as the dedication of the new home of the SPJST in Temple two years ago. From the actual accomplishment, it was by far a greater task. The purchase of the headquarters building was done by 'seasoned business men, officers, directors, and committeemen. They had a quarter million to their disposal. On the other hand, take the handful of men and women—they had to start frotn a scratch. They did not remodel something already standing. They had to locate a tract of land, and then they had to roll up the sleeves, adjust their aprons, and go to work and count every penny while the perspiration was rolling down their brows and their backs. It is different to be sitting in an air-conditioned room to discuss how to use a quarter million, and to be standing on a five-acre tract in the hot sun of a summer day and clearing the land for the foundation of a new hall. Personally, I would rather be on the committee controlling. that quarter million than to be digging, spading and chopping.

• • THE MEMBERS OF SLOVANSKA LIpa Lodge did it. They have everything new. They know what went into the building. They know how much everything cost. It is their home. They should be proud of it. They designed it to suit their purpose. They showed the other members what a good teamwork can accomplish. The editor of the Vestnik is thankful that he had the privilege to meet those sincere workers before the big day of 'dedication and to help them, in his small way. It was a privilege and a pleasure.

• T1-IE SUNDAY OF AUGUST 28, 1955 will be far more important than any other clay in the history of Lodge No. 66.

It may be safe to predict that August 28, 1955 will be remembered much longer than September 16, 1956, when the Waco Lodge will celebrate its golden jubilee. But who knows? The members of Lodge 66 displayed such a remarkable success that they may surprise us again.

And that they have plenty of spirit and

REPORTS F OM DISTRICTS REPORT FROM DISTRICT TWO At a meeting hi the District 2 officer's On last August 25 at the Holland Lodge 80 Tyrs Hall, plans were made for the next District 2 meeting to be held at the Seaton Lodge 47 Star Hall on Sunday, October 16, starting at 1:30 p. m.

District officers present at the meeting were President and Mrs. Frank Spanhel, Vice President Joe Jakubec, Secretary Joe Belicek, Entertainment Committee chairman Mrs. Clara; Hejl, and Reporter Calvin Chervenka Also present were Supreme Lodge President Edward L. Marek, District Director Charles Nayratik and President F. E. Hejl of Lodge 47, host for the coming district meeting.

It was agreed that Sister Clara Hejl should arrange and direct an entertainment program which will precede the business session of the meeting. She will be assisted by the ladies and talent from other local lodges in the district. Brother Marek has agreed to help her in contacting all the local lodges in the district to request talent for the program.

Any lodge or individual who will be able to contribute any talent to the entertainment program; should advise Mrs. Clara Hejl directly at Route 4, Temple, Texas.

Planning for the business part of the coming district meeting required considerably more time and discussion. Although previous district meetings have always been enjoyable social gatherings, they have proven that it is often difficult to obtain much discussion from the floor and to accomplish much in the short time available if the business agenda is not planned and members are nbt advised in advance of the subjects to be considered. Because the 1956 Convention date is not far distant, it was considered important that this district meeting be utilized most efficiently in preparation for that convention.

and there is really no use for the district gathering to vote on these matters.

The legislative process occurs when the delegates from all the local lodges meet in the quadrenial convention which offers the opportunity for a much more complete and equitable representation and expression of the wishes of the entire. SPJST membership than does the district meeting.

Although the discussion of any important topic at a district meeting is good, the somewhat limited discussion time and formal vote and adoption of these "points", by possibly only a small voting percentage of the members present at the district meeting (which is in turn an even smaller percentage of the membership of the district) by a somewhat ex-officio group within the SPJST may be misleading and not truly representative of the wishes of the majority of the district membership as it may be voiced at the convention by the duly elected and instructed delegates of the local lodges within the district. Such recommendations from the district organization to the Supreme Lodge (which is the administrative branch of the democratic process and framework of the SPJST) is more meaningful and appropriate because the district director is the voting representative of the district.

However, these recommendations should pertain only to those administratiVe subjects wherein the Supreme Lodge has power to act. All legislative power within, the SPJST appears to be vested in the hands of the duly elected delegates meeting in convetion.

Rather than try to thoroughly discuss, and definitely commit the entire district membership on any "points", it was decided that the District 2 meeting could be used most effectively to inform all the members who attend,' including many probable delegates to the 1956 convention, about some of the issues At first it was suggested that District which may be considered at the conven2, follow the lead of other SPJST dis- tion. The better informed each member 'Wets in setting up a steering committee is on all issues, the better he will be and/or debating and voting at the meet- able to understand and take part in any ing in order to arrive at a set of discussions of these issues in the VEST"points" or recommendations to the NIK, in his local lodge, and elsewhere.

Also there will probably be future devUpon closer analysis and discussion of elopments which may alter the circumthe position of the district organization stances concerning these issues and the within the democratic processes and viewpoints of many persons toward framework of the SPJST, it was con- them.

transact its business in a more ,rapid and ef ficient manner.

Consequently, it was decided that the District 2 meeting would be devoted to the thorough discussion of these issues without any formal conclusions' . being reached or voted. Efforts will be made to make the meeting as enjoyable and informative as possible. President Spanhel will endeavor to obtain a well informed and impartial person to give a short explanation of each subject or issue — with pro and con arguments if necessary — followed by a discussion by members from the floor. President Spanhel further promises to allot ori15 'P a limited amount of time to each 4aker each subject under discussiOn tia . prevent monopolization of the tinie'by 'any one individual, to prevent "feuding" . be tween various individuals, and to prevent a long . drawn-out meeting: This does not mean anyone will be PreVented from expressing his views as long'as'!his comments are pertinent to the subject under consideration. This prorniseS to be a most informative Aind interesting business session with first a presentation of the basic facts of each issue followed by a discussion from the floor — in the form of questions and answers or debate.

Although the time available at the district meeting probably will not permit a discussion of all the subjects which could logically be considered appropriate for discussion, as many as can be covered will be considered. Some of these subjects axe: (1) SPJST Home for the Aged, (2) Increased Youth Activities in the form of a Youth Camp or other activities, (3) Museum, Library, and archives considerations, (4) Future convention delegate strength determination methods and other by-law changes at the convention, (5) Radio and/or other forms of advertising for the SPJST, end (6) many others too numerous to mention.

Altogether, this promises to be a very informative and interesting District 2 meeting from both the entertainment and business viewpoints. Following the business session, a lunch will be served

by Star Hall Lodge 47. So be sure to make plans for you, your family, and your fellow members to attend this meeting. Remember the date — Sunday, October 16, 1:30 p. m., at Seaton Star Hall.

QUIT POISONING YOUR FAMILY Beware of food poisoning — that scourge of picnics, beach parties, barbecues, church social,s, family reunions, camping trips, and other occasions supposed to be free of care.

You probably have been attacked — most people have at some time or other — so you don't have to be told about the horrible nausea and the accompanying discomforts that follow the eating of infected foods. What you many not know is just how dangerous an attack can be.

It is true that only one person in a million dies of food poisoning each year, but it has been estimated that one type of the disease (salmonella infection) kills Once for, every 100 times it strikes, and the death rate is even higher among children.

Food poisoning then, is nothing to be laughed off. To guard against it, you need to know the types of bacteria re'-ii, flasible for the disease and how they get into foods.

By far the most common type of food poisoning, and fortunately the least damrous, is caused by the contamination, of food by certain kinds of bacteria of the staphylococcus group. These germs, while growing on food, produce a poison, called enterotoxin, that is extremely irritating to the gastrointestinal tract.

Let's take a situation in which you might be guilty of negligence and see what develops.

You and your neighbors plan a picnic at the lake 20 miles away. Your job is to make chicken salad sandwiches.

Although you are feeling drippy with summer sniffles, you cook the chickens on the afternoon before the holiday and let them cool in the pot while you fix dinner.

After the meal you refrigerate the hens, and next morning you and your young daughter, Judy, start the job of dicing chicken, boiled eggs, celery, onions, etc.

Judy complains that she should be excused because a tiny cut on her finger hurts, but her argument is vetoed. After two hot hours you finally add the salad dressing, pile the whole mixture in a deep crock and poke it in the ice box.

After lunch you spread the sandwiches nd pack them in a box before leaving f.yr the lake. An afternoon of swimming is followed by the picnic supper and fireworks in the evening.

It is a good day until, as you get home about 11 o'clock, ten-year-old Mike suddenly feels ill. He leaps from the car just in time. Minutes later husband and daughter are stricken. You do your best

to help the victims., but soon your turn comes.

From then on it is a nightmare, about which the least said the better. Finally, around 3 a.m., everybody drops off into exhausted sleep.

Next day you learn that all except a few of the picnickers have had a similar experience.

Of course what happened was that almost the whole group was stricken with gastroenteritis as a result of eating contaminated food. The escapees either did not eat the bad food or had a resistance to the toxin.

The offender might not have been your chicken salad sandwiches. It could have been Mrs. Johnson's stuffed eggs or Mrs. Smith's banana cream cake.

But let us assume that it was Our chicken salad and see what you did wrong. For purposes of illustration, everything you did was wrong.

1. Remember that you had the sniffles. If at any time while handling the chicken you coughed or sneezed, you probably sprayed it with germs.

2. Instead of cooling the boiled chicken. quickly, you left it in its hot broth in a covered pot—a nice, warm, wet place for bacteria to multiply like crazy.

3. The wound on Judy's finger no doubt contained bacteria that infected the food.

4. The job of dicing meant that the ingredients were left at room temperature too long.

5. Instead of placing small portions in shallow pans, where they could chill more rapidly in the refrigerator, you put the whole salad in a deep crock. It probably never did get cool enough to stop germ growth.

6. The spread had plenty of time to develop a really poisonous dose while the sandwiches sat in the heat all afternoon.

• You have already . seen most of the morals to the illustration, but there are a few other general things to remember.

Principal sources of staphylococcus poisoning are meat, poultry, bakery and milk products, puddings, sauces and vegetables.

Cooking may kill the staphylococcus bacteria, but it will not eliminate toxin that the germs have already produced.

The bacteria need warmth and moisture to grow. Large numbers of germs are required to furnish enough toxin to make you sick.

Mincing, chopping or stirring foods distributes the contamination through• out.

The most severe type of food poison-

ing, botulism, is quite rare; but when it strikes, it is fierce. The botulinus bacilli grow in soil and usually come into the kitchen on vegetables. When vegetables, are preserved with the germs intact, ,a toxin, is formed.

So when canning or preserving at. home, wash the food carefully, cook it under pressure and store it only in ster-, ilized containers. Boil any home-canned food at least six minutes just before serving to kill the botulinus toxin. ' Each type cf food poisoning calls for its own preventive measures, but you can't go wrong on these general rules for the kitchen: Avoid handling food if you have a boil. or wound, a nose, throat or month infection, or diarrhea.. If you muss do the cooking, take extra precautions.

Keep your hands clean, and don't lick the spoon your are stirring with.

Keep household pests as well as pets out of the ! kitchen; or keep food well covered.

Refrigerate cooked foods as carefully as you would uncooked ones.

An American is one who believes in democracy, not only for himself, but for all his fellow-Americans, and by democracy he means not simply the rule of the majority, but the rights of minorities - and those minorities have rights not because they are minorities, but because they are human beings.

FISHING FOR KIDS ONLY If our SPJST Order wishes to arm itself with a strong weapon against juvenile delinquency, against boy gangs, against any child problems, we better study what some groups and communities are doing to keep children occupied.

A few years ago a group of West Branch citizens, whose interest in youth went beyond the mere talking about the youth problem, set about to do something for the youngsters.

'The result was "fishing . for kids only," which in West Branch means that the waters of the trout-abounding Weidman Creek, which winds its way through the rtawn.; is set aside for fishing solely by boys, and girls under 16 years of age.

And 24 property owners along the route Af the creek have cooperated by hiding their "no trespassing" sign.s insofar as 'applying to the kids fishing from the creek banks of their land.

The idea of "fishing for kids only" which was pioneered in West Branch .edaght on quickly and now about 40 ' igotninunities are sponsoring similar pro's jecta.

Just how the proposal caught fire is described in. the Kiwanis magazine as follows: Two years ago, Kiwanian Mickey Dugigan 'decided he wanted to do something sto keep juvenile delinquency out of West Branch. Remembering how he like fishing as a boy, Mickey thought it might be a good idea to give the local kids a private fishing preserve. West Branch - gets its name from a trout stream that cuts through the heart of town and Mickey's plan was to restrict fishing there to boys and girls 16 years old and under. He explained his idea. around town, and everyone liked it. The State conservation department stocked t h e i'S-breiim with trout for the kids.

Then West Branchers collected enough money from local sources to buy a 101/2 acre plot of land bordering the stream.

The kids went for the idea in a big way.

Although thousands of trout were dumped into the stream at the begin, I-ling of the season, another load had to planted.

Said one parent: "We used to worry about what our children were doing Lat er school. But now, when we know they're fishing, our worries are over."

The West Branch club, meanwhile, has Teen busy answering letters from educators, youth leaders, law officers, and park officials all over the country who 'want to learn more about the West Branch project.

So when a West Branch dad's favori e trout rod is missing he usually hikes

for Weidman. Creek and tries to locate Junior and the rod. A lot of Pops and Moms got the habit of trailing junior to the stream but in some places the going was pretty rugged for Mom because much of the shoreline was brush covered and much more had been used as a, dumping place so out that came— another benefit to the community. Some ten and a half acres of land along Weidman Creek were donated to the city by the West Branch Kiwanis Club, the Producers Refining Co., the Precision Manufacturing CO., and and Mrs. Paul Keeler.

Today this area is a beautiful spot known as Memorial Park. There are signs on. the larger trees, identifying them. There is an artesian well, fireplaces, picnic tables, log catwalks across the stream, and "old swimming hole."

Some civic-mantled people donated equipment, supplies, and labor to make the park possible.' The park was another fruit of "Fishing' for Kids Only."

But back to "fishing for kids only."

There has been another product of the program. The youngsters of the West Branch area have come to realize the value of clean streams and streams free

of tin cans and garbage so they are doing their bit to keep their favorite fishing grounds free of litter.

The "fishing for kids" program is now sponsored by the retail merchants 'division of the Chamber of Commerce and this group has erected signs along the protected area of the stream proclaiming: Mr. Fisherman, you are on your honor.

This stream is reserved for boys and girls 16 years and under.

The United Conservation Club publication had this to say about it: Some said the project would be . a passing fancy—that there wouldn't be enough kids on the stream ko make it worthwhile. A few days beftwe , the season opened the stream was stocked with legal size trout.

When the opener rolled around the youngsters were out on the stream, by the hundreds. Being a little short s on tackle, they were angling for trout , with willow poles, casting rods' and almost any type of fishing rig. Others rushed home and "borrowed" QAd's fly rod,'net creel, and boots. Some 8-year-olds on the stream were almost hidden in their big boots.

In many places, interested civic groups have set up and reserved stretches of natural public waters for kids.

Learn to attend to your own business.

Few men •can handle their own well.

Learn to tell a story. A well-told story is like a sunbeam in a sick room.

Learn to say kind things. Nobody ever resents them.

- Learn to avoid nasty remarks—they give neither the hearer nor the speaker any lasting satisfaction.

Learn to stop grumbling. If you can't see any good in the world, keep the bad to yourself.

Learn to hide aches with a smile—nobody is interested.

Learn to keep troubles to yourself.

Nobody wants to take them from you.

Above all, learn to smile. It pays.

WE STILL NEED PIONEERS The chief threat of America comes from within America.

It does not come from a greedy dictator with hungry eyes and grasping hands who waits to tear down our flag and trample on it.

Have you heard of the fifth columnists in. France and other countries? They bore from within, like termites, weakening the fiber of a nation gradually and unsuspectedly.

But danger does not come from jealous nations growing fat on American foreign aid, biding their time until perhaps they are strong enough to invade American soil.

The chief threat to America comes from me, and it comes from you.

Our complacency, our apathy in local, State, and National affairs; our disregard for the privilege of voting, which can be forfeited unless we choose to exercise it—these are the ugly, rasping rattles that can sound America's death knell.

Not the sharp staccato of gunfire in the streets; not the explosions of bombs shattering the morning calm; not a single piercing yell when an empire folds its wings. The death rattle of freedom is more than that.

It is the citizens rejecting their government through neglect. A government under the lash of its people is far stronger than: one ignored. When people laugh, freedom is gasping for breath.

When our flag ceases to be a cherished symbol of American integrity and consecrated with devotion to an inspiring heritage, where shall the cause be found? Must we ready ourselves for the acceptance of slavery under a despotic, ruthless master who despises freedom and hates justice?

What is it that you are doing, and that I am doing, that makes us the chief threat to America? How do we reveal our disloyalty?

This country wasn't carved out of the wilderness, as some say. It was plowed, tamed, clawed, and hammered out—by men who just wanted a chance.

When their oxen died on the prairie en route to a wild new territory, they pulled and pushed their wagons by manpower. If their wagon broke down they didn't wait for Government aid, they didn't demand Government subsidies—when their crops failed, maximum pay for minimum work, or pay for no work at all.

They didn't demand anything except freedom.

There was hope, there was future, there was a chance for security. Security

achieved by their own will power and self-confidence. Future because they were free to climb as high as they could carry their own weight. Hope because progress depended upon the individual not the State.

Those pioneers—Carson, Boone, Crockett— wrestled the wilderness for the highest stake in history—freedom for you and me.

We can abuse this freedom--corrupt it—laugh at it—and it will die. We can guard it, tend it, cherish it, and it will become again the hope of tomorrow. It is as we will.

It is not easy for us to be good citizens in a free country. Of course not.

Nothing worth while ever is easy. The easy way out is to surrender the pick and the shovel for the soup line and chains. But freedom is like bread, you go on earning it every day. Otherwise it molds, drys out, and soon crumbles into dust.

Because freedom is hard, and slavery is easy! because it is easier to be a slave than a hired man; because it's easier to be told what to think independently.

You and I need not be the chief threat to America. Can we not be the bulwark of the future, the hope of millions yet unborn, leaders of a world crying for leadership? Yes, but we must do it ourselves. We must be pioneers.

Let us halt the march of government power. Let us defy those who would degrade our flag; let us strengthen ourselves morally, economically and socially, lest we become like an angry scorpion that turns upon itself and dies of its own bite.

In this hectic 20th century, let us be pioneers. Let us be Americans. ) • 4 • ( EXCEPT A BAD NEIGHBOR There is a Mexican legend which illustrates the importance of a good neighbor. It concerns one San Ysito who was plowing in his field when an angel of the Lord appeared and requested that San Ysito accompany him back to the Lord. San Ysito refused. The second time the angel spoke, "If you do not come, the Lord will send you a. sandstorm and a drought." San Ysito persisted in his refusal and said that he had withstood sandstorms before and when a drought came, he had obtained. water from the river. Again the angel came and said, "If you do not return with me this time, the Lord will send you a bad neighbor." San Ysito put down his plow and said, " I will go with you. I can stand anything except a: bad neighbor."

Brotherhood Strengthens Dernocy'aw There is a synagogue in Washington, D. C., which bears these words: "To the glory of God and the brotherhood of man." All of us—regardless of our religion—would do well to dedicate our lives in this fashion.

The very discovery of America contains lessons in brotherly cooperation for all of us. In fact, the brotherhood of the New World was quite literally the result of unbrotherly acts in the Old Old World.

• We are all familiar with the fact that many of those who first settled in America were motivated by a yearning for 'religious freedom. And the great diversity of groups settling in our country Was apparent from the very beginning.

We had the English settlement, at Jamestown, Va., in 1607 the Dutch at New Amsterdam in 1614, the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620, and the Jews who landed in New York in 1655.

These were among the forerunners of the mass migrations to our shores for 3 centuries. Here millions of people have found the fulfillment of their dreams of freedom, brotherhood, and opportunity.

Here we have built a country in which the highest and best aspirations of individual human beings can be realized and rewarded. Here we have everything necessary for people to lead their lives in, freedom, with dignity and with charity and brotherhood toward their fellow man. , We, can be proud of what we have accomplished, but we cannot be satisfied, even today, with the conditions within our own land.

It would be nice if we could say that from, the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, and from Sandy Hook to the Golden Gate, all Americans were brothers, and prejudice, discrimination, and intolcamice were non-existent.

Unfortunately, however, despite all the progress of 350 years, we still have far to go. A leading public opinion d'.'nalyst has estimated' that "discrimination in employment wastes $10 out of every $75 pay check on the phony luxury of indulgence in our prejudices."

He estimated that the annual cost of diserimination to American business and industry is $30 billion annually.

We all know of persons who preach brotherhood but do not practice it.

In a world that is one-third yellow, one-third brown, and one- third white, how,,can America maintain its position of leaderdship if we consider inferior the non-white two-thirds of the world's people?

To ask these clais inns is to answer t,b es0 is neither them. It is obvious Lor prejudice excuse nor jUstifica and discriminatain. I clear that as a Nation, both dulinb;iibaHy Linid internationally, we arc in itic-1 by prejudice and intolerance.

it Is What You Put Into It Friendship always involves two people.

It can't all be on one side. Of course, there isn't always an even give-andtake in friendship. All the effort may come from one person for a while. But if this goes on indefinitely, the relationship isn't likely to last. For a friendship to be satisfying to both parties, each must get something from the other.

You probably have many different kinds of friends. And different people mean different things to you. The one thing they all have in common is the bond that holds them to yotra Every individual has something unigpe to offer as a friend. No friendshill'is exactly like any other. When you stop to think about how `complicated a human being is, you see why you have so many needs in friendship, and why you have so many different kinds of friends.

Long-standing friendships • are the most important of course. They are the ones in which you have invested large amounts of affection and trust. Naturally, you want to keep up friendships like this; as you grow older you will value them more and more.

But casual friendships , are important, too. Every day, you rub elbows with people who live near you or who work with you. You see the postman, the grocer, and the cleaner regularly. Much of your satisfaction in. life depends on how well you get along with all these people.

Most of them will remain only acquaintances. But some become friends, and a few many even become close friends.

One of the most common bases of friendship is a mutual interest. A Mutual interest, whether stamps or football or western movies, draws people together. It gives them something to talk about and to do together. Many firm and lasting friendships result from shared interests.

The deepest sharing is, of course, in marriage. True, it does seem totally removed from the routine of everyday companionship or friendly give-andtake. But marriage is a friendship— the closests cne possible.

Piede dvekmi se setkala s Klornbov9m chlapcem, kterY jenom vstreil hlavu de svetnice a ktikl: "Kaceji selskY les!" a letel dal.

Okaraite se ta zvest rozletela po vsi, vySlehla jako po2ar, zachvacujic srdce vSech bolesti straSnYm hnevem. Ano, to. to byla pro vSecky vec velika, vec tak hrozna, ze cela yes nahle utichla. jako kdy2 hrom udeti. Lipeeti chodili vylekane, paSpiekac•, hoyokili Septem odva2ujice kahle slovo, rozhlikjice se bazlive a , naslouchajice ostra2ite; nikdo nekkieel nenakikal, nikdo •nevyhro2oval pomstou, protoge kaalY v to chvili citil, 2e tohle neni 2ert, ale Yee, ye ktere nic nespravi 2enske fnukani. nYbrZ jenom moudra rozvaha a spoledne rozhodnuti.

Byl ttz pozdni veder, ale na spanek nebylo ani pomySleni; nekteki odbehli od vedefe, zapomneli na poklizeni, zapominali i na sebe, chodili jenom po silnici. postavali pied domy nebo nad rybnikem a tichY, bazlivY, tajenY repot se v sou• mraku tfasl jako bzukot veal.

Poiiasi se rovne2 utisilo, deSt' ustal, dokonce se trochu vyjasnilo; po nebi i leVela stada mraden a dole. nizko pki zemi. foukal vitr. . . acme zadala tuhnout, omokle, dame stromy pobledly, obalujice se jinim, a hlasy, tiebas pridukne, znely zretelneji.

Z nideho nic se rozneslo, ze nekteki hospodaki se shroma2dili a jdou spoledne k fojtovi.
