ROONiX (VOLUME) XLIII ve sttedu (Wednesday) 21. WU (SEPTEMBER) 1955

CO STOJI ZISKAN (LENA RATR JAN STA8A Z CORPUS Christi mne dadal, abych vysvetlil elanek 45. v nagich stanovach a tied abych objasnil, jestli to mogno, kolik nas stoji organisadni pre.ce rok od roku.

Ptiznam se, de elanku 45. nerozumim.

Oet1 jsem ho znovu a znovu, studoval

jsem ho v &skein i v anglickem zneni, ale roam& Asi nejsem dosti chapavY. Anebo schazeji tam na nekterem miste earky a dlinek ma docela jink smysl.

Jak duledita je earka na pravem miste, poznate z techto dvou vet: Sazee, pravi redaktor, deli se chyttY. Sazed pravi, redaktor dela se chytrY. Stejna slova, ale runny smysl. Snad nag pramni radce, kterY musi peelive sledovati nage stanovy a zakony bratrskYch jednot, a kterY ovlada deskY jazyk slovem i pismem, mohl by podati dadouci vysvetleni.

Olanek 45. ureuje, odkud se berou peniz.e na rtizne, vydani Hlavni Utadovny.

Stoji tam, de celY poplatek za prvni rok od novYch teem jde na vydani .Pak tam stoji, ze k tomu se ptida $2.00 na kaddY tisic pojigteni (vyjma ttidu J-T), ale ne vice jak 20% z celkoveho roeniho ptijmu na poplatcich. Tento rozdil mezi $2 na tisic pojigteni a 20% roeniho poplatku je piilis velikY a naramne libovolnY, mezi $40,000 a $100,000. Ten rozdil nechapu.

Oemu vgak kaddY bude rozumet je ona veto., ze cely poplatek za prvni rok od novYch Mena jde na vydani Hlavni Ufadovriy. V teto veto musime hledat odpoved' na otazku, co nas stoji ziskani noveho elena. poslednim sjezdu v Houstonu bylo usneseno, a ptijato, aby ifety za organisaani praci byly vedenylne oddelene, totiz aby eleni men ptehled, kolik or-

ganisaent prate Jednotu stoji a festli prvoroeni poplatky sta .& na kryti organisadnich vkloh. Bratr Marek, ktery vede organisaeni praci, ma to v gechno do centu vypoditano.

Bylo by snad.nej gi pro mne samotneho, pti sestavovani tett) uvahy, kdyd bych mel vYkazy, ktere drdi bratr Marek. Musim se prozatim spokojit jen aislicemi, ktere uveiejnili bratti teditele, kdyd podavali sve zpravy.

Mohli bychom tici, de ziskani noveho elena nestoji Jednotu ani cent. Modna je to pravda, modna nevi. To pozname, az bratr Marek poda vYkaz, kolik se utratilo na agitaci v 1952, kolik v 1953 a v 1954, a kolik se od minuleho sjezdu ptijalo v prvorodnich poplatcich kaddeho roku.

1954, domaci organisatoti doStali v odmenach $38,693.25, statni organisator (bratr Valeik) dostal $4,541.72. Jettli se nernYlim, poplatek za prvni. rok '''bd novYch clenu obnil gel v roku 1954 nee° ptes $61,000.00. ZbYvalo tedy do fondu na organisaeni vydani pies osmnact tisic.

Nejsem si jistY, zda ma pamet je dosti s.polehliva. Bratr Marek opravi me vYpoety a dohady, ad poda vYkazy za agitaci.

ZbYva zjistiti, zdali tale zbYvajicich osmnact tisic v roce 1954 staeilo na krYti dalgich vYloh, spojenYch se ziskanim novYch elenft. Jsou totil lekatske prohlidky. Jsou vklohy za vygettOvani od soukrome spolCdnosti. Je poplatek vrchnimu Micah za prozkoumani vgech dosti, krome J-T Jsou vklohy za organisa.torske schime. Jsou platy dvema nebo ttern stenografkam, ktere vystavuji nove certifika•y. Je sludne bratru ptedsedovi, kterY ptevadnou vetainu sveho easu venuje einnosti agitaeni. Jsou jeho cestovni vylohy, kdy'd jede do organisatorskYch schtlzi kaddY tYden., nekdy dvakrat ad ttikrat v jednom tYdnu. Jsou vydani, jako tisk novYch certifikatit, pogtovne, odznaky, aktuarske yypoety.

Do vydani pti agitaeni praci musime zapoeitati na prvnim miste odmeny nag im mistnim organisatoram. AC jsem Toni vedl organisaeni praci po celem state, dosud nevim, kolik odmeny dosta.vaji nagi domaci pracovnici. Ani nemohu iici, od ktere doby Jsou nynej gi odMelly za praci organisatoril v platnosti.

Jestli tyto informace nechceme probirati v na gem organu, snad bychom si je Nag &sty ptirasek na elenech za pomohli prodiskutovati v distriktnich schttsledni etyti roky byl: 1951-670; 1952zich.

Pied tidnein nebo dvema poslany byly z Hlavni nradovny na tajemniky artist nich radii vYtiSky zpravy o stavu naai Jednoty. NekclY v lednu ci v fmaru tohoto roku mela nage SPJST statni pfehlidku. Revisori byli tarn nekolik let nevim ureite jak cllouho. Pak revisori sestavili svou zpravu pro statni odbor pojigt'ovani, aby komisat poji gt'ovani a jini statni ftfednici vedeli, jak si nage SPJST stoji . finanene, a take jak to mame u has zatizene nebo pozmenene od doby, kdy bYla piedchazejici prohlidka.

Mame ye stanovich elinek (42-n), ktery natizuje, aby zpriva statniho reYisora byla po jejim schvaleni a pfijrnuti rozmnoiena mimeografem a aby vYtisk byl poslan ,na tajenunka kaZdeho mistniho ractu, a take tern elenfn, ktefi se o tuto zpravu zajimaji. Tomuto nailzeni stanov bylo vyhoveno. Va g domaci taiemnik.. dostal ji2 vYtisk zprayy, ktery le ovgem v feel anglicke. Mti'Zete si zpravu od vageho tajemnika yyptljeit.

C'hcete-li natt svilj vla,stni vYtisk, dopi gsi 0 nej do Hlavni friadovny.

Zprava nebyla ye schnzi 'eteria, proto& je asi fleet archn 'dlouha, a na mnoha mistech jam jen Same Cislice. Ale ye schitzi bylo odhlasova.no, aby se zpra ya pie dale redaktoru Vestniku, by z ni vybral len ty dlezitejsi body, ktere by uvefejnil ye Vestniku. A take bylo odhlasovano, aby redaktor pfelon dfilelite veci do 'destiny pro informaci star g ich Clenu, ktefi tomu lepa v mateiske feel porozurni.

Rozhodl jsern se, potaddin hlavni 11redniky o dobrozdani, ktere body bych mel objasnif a ktere npine vynechat. dostanu pokyny nebo schvaleni, podara ve Vestniku zkracenou zpravu v obou fedostanu eich. Doufarn, ze sain tisk zpravy.: Koncem toboto mesiee budeme v Texasu hostiti velky pact krajanii fraternalistu ze severu, ze state vYchodnich a take .navg feVnilty od Pacifiku. Budou to delegati nejvet gi Ceske bratrske podpfune organisaee Zapadni te5ko-Bratrske Jednoty, ktera ye dnech 26. aA 28. za-, ii bade miti v Dallas svilj tfinactY sjezd.

Jiste sjezdu pogleme svou gratulaci. Jiste ni% ktefi naai ntednici zajedou do sjezdu osobne. Bude to dobrYrn ponaueenim, aby naai nfednici poznah, jak rnnoho prate je mono vykonati Z9.; tki dny, kde je zasedani jen od deviti rano do etyr hodin odpoledne.

Ve stiedu, tine 21. ir g• 1955 Take sant bych velmi rad sledoval jednem' sjezdu teto nejvet gi Ceske organisace, ale nebude to mo2no. Poeitam hla,vni aredniky ZCBJ mezi sve pfatele. S mistopredsedou Romanem HruSkou, nynejim senatorem Spojenych state, mel jsem jednou schuzku v Rice hotelu v Houstonu, ktera se protahla dlouhd do noci, a kdy jsme rokovali pouze o otazkach fraternalismu. S bratrem Rompotlem, hlavnim predsedou ZOBJ, a bratrem Hromaclkou, hlavnim tajemnikem, se zname od meho zajezdu do Cedar Rapids v roku 1937. Byl jsem tenkrat mistopredsedou SPJST. Videli ye lone spoluurednika a spolupracovnika, a nikoliv konkurenta. Kolegu Charvata, redaktora Bratrskeho Vestniku, jsem poznal pri pohitu zesnuleho Stanislava Serp v 0maze y kijnu 1940. Bratra JarViava Drahovzala poznal jsem y Bostonu. S niky ZOBJ 'se gel jsem se v posledni dobe vicekrat, a pokaZde 'eerpal jsem z rozhovoru s nimi nejake ponaueeni. Lituji, ze nebude mi mono bYti pritomen zasedani trin,acteho sjezdu ZOBJ v Dallas, ale povinnost void jinde. Jedeme, predseda Marek a redaktor, do zasedani Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu v Toronto v Kanade, ktere la6de v tyteZ dny, zafi. AC je to aZ v Kanade, bude to hodne bli2e ne2 do Bostonu, kam jsrne jell spolu v. rote 1952 nebo v Atlantic City, kam jsem; jel sam vloni.

Kdyi se zminuji a torn, Ze vidy jsem Cerpal nejake ponaueeni od hlavnich rednikti ZOBJ, nebude z mista, kdy odhrnu rou g ku tajemstvi, jak povstali nasi feditele a jak se utvoic ily na ge distrikty. Kdy:Z; pied 58 lety byla zalolena nase SPJST odtrZenim od stare OSPS—a v tornteZ Case zalblena byla ZCBJ stejnYm orltrknim od CSP 1ny jsme na.ge administrativni vedeni napodobili die jiz stavajiciloo texaskeho spolku Sons of Hermann, ponevad2 v g ichni naai tehdejgi drednici byli eleny Sons of Hermann.

Napodobili jsme jiny domaci spolek, kterY byl vedenS tajemnikem, mel fiCetni vybor a mei dozorei vYbor. Podobne zafizeni jsme men my a nee° podobneho meta tea Zapadni Oesko-Bratrska Jednota. ItclyZ ale pfi g el devatY sjezd ZCBJ, konany v Milwaukee v roku 1937, byla provedenai reorganisace nstfedni kancelafe teto bratrske Jednoty. Mesic po sjezdu byl jsem v Cedar Rapids, kde jsem byl informovan, ze ZOBJ zru gila start' zpftsob vYboril a nahradila je fediteli.

Rizeni spolku pieMo do rukou sedmi ditelti a etyf hlavnich niednikti. Jednota nerna niad hlavniho iteetniho. Vrchni 'ekar a pravni radce nejsou niedniky.

0 tfi leta pozdeji, kdyi byl sjezd v Taylor, take naS fieetni vYbor a dozoroi vYbor byly zru g ens a nahraZeny sedmi Byla to velika zmena, ale napo-

Ve stredu, due 21. zari 1955 dobili jsme ZCBJ, kde tento novi zpftsob pracuval k Upine spokojenosti. Sbor reditelrz mel sveho predsedu, sveho tajenanika a sve schfize. U ZCBJ nemeli tak tyrde palice, jako jsme men my, pisatele techto radkfi nevyjimaje. 11 obou spoikir tent system, ale jine povahy.

Tenkrat jsem si myslel, kdy2 to pracucuje uspokojive jinde, musi to pracovat take u lads. Nevedel jsem nic o psychologii, toti2 jak s kaZdYm elo yekein musi se jinak zachazet. Ani rada bratra Romana Hru'Sky, kdyz jsme hovorili o techvecech v Houstonu, nic nebyla platna.

V techto zadateenich pokusech klopYtali jsme etyri roky. V Corpus Christi pHsla v reditelich. Ustanoveno bylo jen pet, aby firednici meli prevahu, a zvoleni byli za reditele docela novi lido.

System se nezmeni ! . Pokraeovali jsme dale tim smerem, kterY jsme odkoukali od Zapadni Cesko-Bratrske Jednoty. Po sjezdu v Corpus Christi psal bratr Moueka, tehdefSi redaktor, referat o naSem sjezdu. Opsal doslo yne, oo pied sedmi lety napsal redaktor Stanislav Serpan o sjezdu v Milwaukee, vSechny earky, vSechny zavorky, vSechny odstavce stejne. Main dosud v rukou Bratrsk* Vestnik ZCBJ z rijna 1937 a lads Vestnik ze due 12. Cervence 1944. Dle techto dvou referatfi byly oba sjezdy podobne jako vejce vejci, a obe hlavni telesa fungovala takrka stejno. Dries, po jedenacti letech, mame °pet sedmi reditelti a sedm distriktu. Delegati voli ze sveho stiedu reditele, tedy ne ceIY sjezd, nYbr2 jen delegati sveho distriktu. Jedine, co nemame a co ma spolek 7.2613J, od nehoZ jsme svou soustavu prejaii, je to, Ze naS1 reditele nemaji a nesmeji miti sve poradni schtize bez Pritomnosti hlavnich firednikt. U ZCBJ, lalyZ je schtize hlavniho telesa, hlavni predseda organisace vede schtizi a tajemnik reditele v'Sechno zapisuje. reditele se schazeji kalde dva mesice, aby svou Mog na, ze mi zase nekdo poste listek nebo prilelitostne si na mne dosedne, Ze pisi o jine bratrske organisaci vice neZ o na2S1 vlastni. Pravdou Vgak je, 2e jsme napred hodne odkoukali od nemecke organisace a teprve od roku 1940 jsme si zaCali vSirnat toho, jak pracuji jine Ceske spolky. Neco naarne vlastniho, nae jsme sami prisli, nem jsme vzali od Sons of Herman, nem od OeskoslovenskYch SpolKU v Americe—mohl bych jmenovat ony elanky v naSich stanovach—a neconapodobujeme dle bratrskeho spolku ZCBJ. Neni to nic divneho. Podobne jedna kaZclY pokrokovY rolnik, kterY si vsima, kde jaka, navinka, jak se co vyplaci. A padobne praktikuji obchodnici a rozmanite jine podniky.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR SOME FIVE YEARS AGO YOUR EDitor was conducting a class for organizers of Pokrok Houston Lodge. At that time, I had just completed a course in life insurance. My head was full of fancy ideas, my notebook was full of notes taken during the lectures: at the University of Houston, so I wanted to unload my overburdened mind on someone else. We arranged to have a meeting once a week to see if we could understand more about life insurance. ♦ -• ONE NIGHT A QUESTION CAME UP about our "J-E" certificate or the Junior Endowment at Age 18. Somebody asked me about the cost of college education.

That was a hard question to answer, It would depend on the profession, the location of the school, the number of years it would take to finish. But for illustrative purposes we settled the question that it would take around one thousand a year.

THUS, A FOUR-YEAR SCHOOLING would cost about four thousand. We discovered that if we push the "Educational Certificate", we would have to be talking about $4,000 of insurance. And the cost, depending on the age of the child, would run from $200 to $400 a year. The listeners wanted to know if the SPJST has anything cheaper which may be used in place of the "Endowment at 18" and still serve the same purpose. The question was placed squarely up to me, I was the instructor, and my notebook was supposed to have all the answers.

MY NOTEBOOK DID NOT HAVE THE answer. It was my own. I remembered that one of my professors used to tell us that we can use almost any policy for different purposes. So I explained that any educational insurance plan could be built on one of three types of certificates. It may be an endowment certificate, like the J-E offered by the SPJST. Or it may be an endowment on the father's life. Or it may be an ordinary-life or limited-payment life on the father,

WHICH WOULD BE THE BEST? WAS the next question. We found out that the term •test" had no meaning unless other things' are taken 'into consideration.. We referred to our riateboOks. We found out that the premium on the J-E certificate, age one, was $51.07, and the payor insurance, father 28, was $4:25.

That would make the annual) premium to be $55.32. It did not look very practical, especially if father should die and the family needed all the money it could get. So we considered endowment insurance on father. We made some comparisons to see what we may get for $55.32 for the father himself.

• • THE 15-YEAR ENDOWMENT ON THE father, at age 28, would be $57.01. The 20-year endowment would cost $42,02.

Then we turn to ordinary-life and we found out that father would get $3,000 for $50.85 and. $4,000 for $68.70. We decided on $4,000 ordinary-life, or Class B. We agreed that four thousand on the father is much better than one thousand on the child. If the father should die before the child is ready for college, there is $4,000 immediately available, either to be held for college expense or used for family support. If he lives when the child is ready for college, he can borrow against that $4,000 certificate.

• • I AM PASSING THIS INFORNIA ZION to our organizers. For the average family, with an average insurance need and linhted spending for it, such a plan would be the best buy. An education insurance plan is good, and sounds good. Some type of educational insurance should be considered by every parent. But your job, as an SPJST organizer, is to advise.

Be sure that the plan you recommend is a sound one. It is a business proposition and you should treat it as such.

• • THERE IS ONE MORE POINT WHICH I want to mention. The educational insurance, that is the "J-E" certificate, even if it is for only one thousand, can be paid in installments, say $250 in September, $250 in February„ and the same again the next year.

What A Wife Should Know About Social Security Chivalry is not yet dead, rn'am, in the statistical realm of social security. Taken all in all, the ladies and the family still rate first place with this government agency.

It's "even Stephen" for working men and women who reach the age of 65.

Her benefits are the same as gentlemen cohorts. A salary average from Jan. 1, 1937, to age 65, and from Jan. 1, 1951, until 65 is taken, and the 1110 best average of the two is noted. In the case of death, the highest average earnings of the two periods are figured up to the year of death.

The widow under social security receives a lump sum of three times the amount of her husband's benefits, although she may never have worked a day. This sum never exceeds $255 and can be as low a,s $90. At the age of 65 she may draw upon his benefits, but not if she marries or marries and divorces.

If she has one or two children under 18 years of age, she draws three fourths of her husband's benefits, phi; benefits for each child. The family maxim never exceeds $200 a month or less than $50.

A widower with children receives a lump sum of his wife's social security, but all or her benefits to minor children. If the man has received one half of his support from hiss wife, he will get monthly payments from her social security at age 65.

Minor children of a working woman who (lies each receive the same as that of the widow, one half of her monthly benefits, plus one quarter of her monthly benefits divided • by the number of children.

For example, if the woman's monthly benefit is $40, each child receives one hair, or $20, plus $10 divided by let us say live children, or $2. Each child would then get $22 a month.

A woman's 'benefits from her husband's social security are withheld (if she is under 65) if She is working and makes over $80 a month. Under a new law she may own a business in which she is a silent partner. She may also receive insurance money and royalties without having it affect her social security.

A wife whose husband receives $90 a month social security will receive half the amount, $45 in additional payments at age 65. If her personal social security is but $20 a month, she gets $25 extra payment as the man's Wife bringing the sum up to $454

REPORTS FROM DISTRICTS THIRD DISTRICT OF THE SPJST Dear Sisters and Brothers: First of all, I wish to thank all of you for the beautiful flowers and get-well cards that I received while in the hospital. It is a grand feeling for one to know he has so many friends. I wish it were possible for me to thank each of you personally, but since I cannot, I want to thank each of you through this letter. Now that I am on the road to recovery, I'll be looking forward to seeing an of you soon.

Sisters and Brothers, our meeting of the Third District, will be here before we realize it, and as you know it will be held in Waco, Lodge 66, at their new hall. Let's all try to be there in this meeting.

I am sure that lots of important business will be brought up for discussion and we want all of you to be present, and give us your opinion about the subjects being discussed. Also for you to bring up any suggestions you might have for the betterment of our district.

The Waco Lodge has a beautiful new home now, as so many of you have al-

ready seen, and those of you who have not seen it, please came to our meeting Sunday, September 25, 1955, and be with us. We will try to nave an interesting as well as an educational meeting. The Waco Lodge will have a nice program after the meeting, and of course, a delicious dinner for all. We will also try to cut out some of the speeches, so we would have more time to tend to our business.

So those of you, who were tired of too many speeches, come out and be with us. The speeches will be short and few.

We also wish to invite the officers of the Supreme Lodge, the Editor and Officers and visitors from other districts, so come all and be with us on September 25 at the Waco Lodge. • (Editor's Note: President Marek and Editor Valcik will be in Toronto, Canada, attending Fraternal Congress. Sorry.)

It is located in Linden Park about half way between Waco and West, about half a mile from Elm. Mott on farm to market road No. 308.

Let us all meet at the District Three meeting.

Fraternally yours, Joe B. Hejny

PEOPLE SHORT ON POPULARITY It would be relatively easy for a bore to stop being a bore if he knew he was one. It takes keen and courageous insight for one to face the fact that he is tiresome to his family, friends and associates. If there is evidence that you are not popular -- or even downright unpopular try to listen when you speak. Even you best friends won't tell you. You have to find out for , yousself.

Perhaps that is why there are so many bores-.

"What sort of person bores you the most?"

Here are the twelve most frequentlymentioned bores.

1. Mr. Exceptionally Smart. Remember the Lynn Belvedere movies in which Clifton Webb starred a while back? Lynn is an extreme paragon of this type. He could write books, direct a motion picture, make distinguishing athletic and scholastic records, or do anything else he wanted to do. He never failed to let others know he was good -- and very good. By referring constantly to his numerous achievements, Mr. Exceptionally Smart implies that you and the other fellow are pretty small by comparison.

2. The Ice Water Type. Have you ever made plans, some of which you realized were impractical, but which gave you immense satisfaction? And then, confiding your plans to this creature, you heard him immediately point to factswhich indicated you didn't have the slightest chance of succeeding? He seemed to gather a lot of joy during the process of throwing cold water on your hopes. Even if your plans seem practical, he isn't sure that you can bring them it fruitage — "you" being the way "you' are. "No" is his favorite word, and he says it often and loud.

3. The "If I were you" person. Here is the perpetual advice-giver with a free solution for your every problem. "This is what you should do," he states authoritatively, and is apt to become angry and provoked when you don't follow his suggestions.

4. The Silver Lining Type. Here is our present day Pollyanna, scattering rays of gladness all over the place. He shuts his eyes to reality. The over-optimistic person is almost as annoying as the over-pessimistic person. Even though our private world has crashed into smithereens, he will inform us that things aren't so so bad after all. Look at people who are far worse off than we, he says. When we are low in spirit because the breaks have gone against us, we don't feel better by observing others who are also having hard sledding.

5. The Sensit i ve Soul. This unliked gentleman turns his imagination negatively upon himself and others. He is confident that you and , 'I and we are ridiculing, pi t ying, criticizing, or plotting against him. if you laugh, he knows you are laughing at him. If you condemn anyone in his presence, he is positive you are striking at him in a roundabout way. To deny his charge would be to waste breath. Tne sensitive soul has long periods of negative moods and he always wears his feelings very close to the surface.

6. Tne Monomaniac. Here's the person who steers every conversation into the channel of his favorite topic. Maybe his subject is politics, religion, his child, his pet, or himself. At any rate, he'll parade his subject whenever he has an audience or can make one. You may switch subj ects a dozen timec but he won't notice you have switched. He'll talk on and on and on about that which excites him the most.

7. Sick Sally. She is first cousin to the monomaniac. Last night she ate something that disagreed with her and she tossed and tumbled. She heard two, three, and four o'clock strike. She finalli fell to sleep about 6:15; no, it was probably closer to 6:30. At present she has a headache, and flecks are swim-ming before her eyes. If you'll listen, she'll give you a day-by-day record of her unsatisfactory health. Seldom, though, does she ask how you feel. &. Busy George. With only the slightest provocation — or no provocation at all — he'll tell you of the many things he did last week, the many things he is doing this week, and the many things he will he doing next week. He hasn't time for much fun -- he's too busy doing things — and becoming perfectly miserable in the process. A check-up will usually reveal that he does less than the average person and that his "Oh, so busy" routine is merely a cover-up.

pliment to another in the presence of his person. Pe will listen patiently, nodding perhaps in half-hearted agreement, and then in the next breath say, "But isn't it a shame her teeth ruin her appearance?" or "But I wonder if may.be she hasn't fooled us and is as big a hypocrite as some other so-and-sos." He always has a "but"—real or fancied— to trot forth when the goings get nice for someone else. His teeth are scissors cutting everyone down to the abbreviated size he wants them to be. And as he "buts' his best friends, you can be confident that when you aren't around, he'll "but" the nice remarks someone makes about you.

11. The "Butt-in" Type. Ilere's the one that always insists upon getting into the act. Start a story and he butts in wi th his version of it. Begin a piano solo and he turns it into a duet. Remember the time you had done something that made you a bit chesty, and you began telling your friends about it? You didn't get very far — this guy "butted in" wi th an account df something or other that he had done.

12. Hard Luck Joe. His series of bad breaks began the day he was born. People he trusted have turned against him; he has held a number of jobs but he has yet to work for a gentleman. He has wife troubles and in-law troubles. Circumstances are dead set against him. He simply has failed to get his share of the breaks If you aren't as well liked as you want to be, maybe you'll find yourself represented in one of the twelve types listed above. Remember, one of the surest things about people is that they can change — and they can change for the better. An unpopular person need not remain unpopular. Sometimes the change can be brought about by simply refusing to indulge in patterns of conversation and behavior which bore the average person.

— Life Today ) • • • (

9. The Past Glory Guy. His people — usually they live many miles away — used to be so very prominent. His grandfather was mayor of the town, president of the bank, and chief of the voluntary fire department. His niother was the cream of Ol e crop. Hi; grand uncle was an intimate friend of a prominent but late senator. Usually he has in his home a few tokens of his past glory — faded pictures, and old scratched chair, or a lopsided bureau. As you behold these objects, you are supposed to share his past glory.

10, The "But" Type, Don't pay a coin-

The story is told of a, modern young woman, newly married, whom a real estate agent was trying to get interested in the purchase of a home. She laughed, as she said: "A home? What do I need with a home? I was born in a hospital, educated in a college, courted in an automobile, and married in a. church. I live out of tin cans and paper bags. I spend my mornings on the golf course, my afternoons at the bridge table, and my evenings at the movies. And when I die, I'll be buried from the undertaker's parlor. All need la a garage."

Strain 15 TRLICAS VISIT SPRINGFIELD, MO. Recently, we reported that Brother Jno. F. Trilea and his wife Vlasta went to the state of Missouri to visit their son Raymond and his family.

The current issue of the Granger News has a detailed report of Trlica's trip. It was written by J. C. (Jerry) Martinets, Sr., as follows: AN INTERESTING MEMO comes from Jno. P. Trlica, who cited observations he and Mrs. Trilea enjoyed during their recent 10-day trip to Springfield, Mo., where they visited in the home of their son, Raymond, and family.

He spoke highly of the magnificence of the Missouri city—a greatly industrialized center—the home of the d largest manufacturer of paper cups in. tkie world, the Lily Tulip Cup Corporation—a, city served by 114'ehurches.

During their stay, they saw parts of southern Missouri and Arkansas. In the Missouri Ozarks they visited the state park with its famous roaring river park with its famous and exciting roaring river and the majesticaly beautiful Lake Tameycomo.

Most impressive, they ftund the city of Eureka Springs, known as the "little Switzerland" in the Arkansas Ozarks.

The town sprawls lazily up and down the side of a mountain—truly a city of picturesque charm, according to the Trlicas.

Their main purpose of the trip was the visit in the home of their son and his wife and their two daughters, Susan, 9, and Nancy, 7.

Their son, Raymond, is serving as a registered physical therapist in the St. John's Hospital, a $7 million institution, at Springfield, and operated by Sisters of Mercy. This hospital is considered the largest and most modern in the midwest.

Raymond, a graduate of Granger High, prior to entering the armed forces during World War II, attended Rice Institute and the University of Texas. After his discharge, he entered St. Louis University where he received a B. S. Degree in Physical Therapy Technology, Magna Cum Laude, in February, 1951. He was in the six highest in a class of 329. After graduation, he became a faculty member of St. Louis University and was placed in charge of hte rehabilitation division.

Now affiliated with St. John's Hospital, he is doing a splendid job in pursuing his profession and I feel that his foriner Granger classmates and other friends are proud of his achievements. Nice going, Raymond, and I take this opportunity to wish you and yours and your loVely daughters, much happiness and success.

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES KAREL HAVLICEK LODGE NO. 4 Hallettsville, Texas ))ear' Members: On the editor's page of September 7, 1955, issue, the editor asks for opinions about Brother Calvin C. Chervenka's letter in which Brother Chervenka holds the view that the districts have no legal right of nominating any member to any particular office.

Any controversial question can be se tied lovably by discussing it without in jecting personalities into it And since we are still living in a free country, let us discuss it and air it out without telling one another what to believe.

It is my firm belief that our seven districts were legally constituted and approved by the general convention. It is true that the purpose of the seven districts is not given in the By-laws by so ,any words, but we know that they were created to function with the supreme body as a part of it, as a unit. The district director is the true representative of the district at the meetings of the supreme body, and he is also an advisor in the district on any question affecting the supreme body, the district, the membership, and the entire SPJST. Isn't the Supreme Lodge and seven directors working hand in hand?

As for myself, I compare our districts to a county in a state, or to a city in a county. Voters elect delegates to county convention; county convention, in turn, elects delegat Ps to the state convention; and then we vote on the men recommended by the convention. It is a logical process of democratic representation.

But what we need is to make the process working without confusion and delay. Sisters and Brothers, let's wake up.

Let's suggest means how to make our next convention do its work in three or four days. Let's discuss how to speed up the convention deliberations. We can do it, if we wish to J.e it, and we can get through in three or four days. Let's donate the money saved for the Home of the Aged. The delegates could even donate one day for the Old Folks Home without missing it.

And I have a word to you, dear Sisters. You are telling us what to do at home, how to take some short-cuts. But I have failed to see any suggestions or comments how to shorten any part of our By-laws. It is your organization as well as ours, isn't it?

EAT A SALAD FIRST For twenty years now, one of the banner right-eating slogans has been "Eat A Salad First."

As far as we know, the first serious effort to establish such a custom in this country was initiated by Henry Lindlahr, M. D., in 1904. He wrote vigorous articles on the virtue and value of the practice for magazines of the day.

He classed salads as the best source of life-giving minerals and. heralded them as one good antidote to the heavy meals so usual then. "A salad will lighten, the meal," he wrote, "provide needed minerals, particularly iron. It will help to give needed bulk to the diet. To make sure the salad will be eaten, serve it first."

The realized eight years before the day the vitamin theory was launched, that there were virtues in fresh fruits and vegetables which couldn't be found in cooked foods, particularly starches.

In 1906, when Frederick G. Hopkins proved that fresh milk contained a live "something" that no mixture of minerals, carbohydrates and proteins could duplicate, Henry Lindlahr coined his own name for these unknown factors—"life elements." In a 32-page pamphlet he wrote: "Raw salads are the first and best source of life elements, particularly those that will prevent scurvy." he noted pointedly that his patients could always be counted on to eat their meat and potatoes or any sweet that was served them, but they were inclined to push the salad aside or leave most of it on the plate. That was why, he explained, he finally made it a must to serve a crisp, colorful salad first at the main meal of the day. Patients who ate in the sanitarium dining room would find a salad waiting for them when they sat down to dinner. They'd start nibbling on, it (much as diners in a restaurant are wont to munch on bread while they are waiting for their order to be filled.)

By the time the main course was served, the , salad usually would have disappeared. Men and women who had seldom eaten a full portion of salad were soon eating generous servings of it every day and enjoying it hugely. Most never realized that they were doing something different and new and that they were getting their "life elements" first.

The little "Eat A Salad First" booklet went into several printings. The idea got a more solid hold. One of Dr. Lindlahr's students, who wrote a widely read health column in the Los Angeles Times, work-

ed valiantly to popularize the idea on the West Coast. To his everlasting credit California', and , Los Angeles in parti cular, wholeheartedly adopted the style of eating a salad. . first.

The ;strangest part of the story is that from the time salads were invented, so to speak, they were served at the beginning of the main meal of the day. The .custem, 'began with the Romans long before the time of Cato the Censor -(234449H 8s C.). Cater Was particularly partiaf' to shredded cabbage salad, dressed with vinegar and oil. In' fact, he practically classed cabbage as" a cure-all. He was 100 per cent right when he emphatically stated that raw cabbage was a sovereign remedy against the sympton-a complex which was later called scurvy, and which is now known to be due to a deficiency of Vitamin C. In later days when the upperclass Romans gave themselves over to orgies of feasting and drinking, eating the salad first, particularly at breakfast, became their prime prescription for a hangover cure. Shredded radish salad was a special favorite for this purpose.

After the Roman conquest of Britain, the salad-first era was adopted by the Anglo-Saxons, and by the Normans who followed. It was a , universal practice among the English until George I ascended the English throne in 1714. The first George, you will remember, never even bothered to learn to speak English. He despised the barbaric custom (as he called it) of serving a salad first. He liked robust, heavy German-style ,eating; if a salad was served at -all at the royal table, it came after the soup, fish, fowl and roast, when almost everyone was too stuffed to eat it.

The Court, of course, at once set about eating in the new royal fashion. Soon all the nobility followed suit. The middle class eventually began to serve their salad toward the end of the meal. By the time the fourth George ascended the throne, the traditional custom of serving a salad first had been forgotten.

The American colonists fought the Revolution to free themselves from the domination of George IV, but they didn't free themselves from the German habit of eating a. salad juSt before dessert, if at all.

Henry Lindlahr wasn't particularly interested in reestablishing the custom of eating a salad first for the sake of tra-, dition. He believed in putting first things first, especially as far as health was concerned. After 1912 when he felt that providing the daily vitamin need should

be the first eating concern, he became more devoted than ever to serving the salad first.

In this clay of endless Combinations, vitamin pills, pellets and preparationS,': too many people brush the subject .aside as far as their eating is concerned.i,"la take my vitamins every day," they ad complacently. True, they take some 1, ' tamins and accomplish some good poses, but there is a very great cliffef' ence between taking one vitamin, Or: :even , a dozen, for a specific health pite .poe, and eating vitamin foods for iitt ,tritional reasons.

SENIOR HOSPITAL EXPENSE INSURANCE • The Prudential Insurance Company, -the second largest insurance business in the country, undertook a study of the possibility and • feasibility of providing . , individual hospital-expense coverage at a 'reasonable rate for our older people and is now prepared to offer some time in September a special hospital-expense policy to both men and women between the.ages of 60 and 70 which will help • Ahem pay their hospital, surgical, and medical expenses while in the hospital, with guaranteed lifetime coverage subject to the limits set forth in the policy. .There are probably some 21 million persons age 60 and over, but only a small number of them are employed by con' cerns which provide hospitalization benefits through group insurance. Generally, this coverage does not continue when the employee is retired.. However, the number of employers who are providing hospitalization coverage after retirement is increasing. While individual, as well as whole family,: policies are available - in addition to group coverage, many companies limit their issue to applicants under age 60. A few companies have policies available to applicants at the older ages but, in most instances, the benefits at the older ages are on a limited basis and almost without exception the in. surer reserves the right to terminate the i•everage after age 65 Since only a small number of persons 60 years or over are covered by hospitalization insurance, there is a great need for . this type of protection. The frequency of „hospitalization at age 60 and up is twice that below age 45. Moreover, the average durStion of hospital confinement is twice c long at age 60 and over 1-.1 ,; it is for ages below 45. Taking into account these 2 factors, the cost of hospitalization at age 60 and over is almost 4 times groater than for persons under 45 years of age. .

• devolepment of Prudential started the program that is being announced.

After an extensive study and great research concerning this problem of providing adequate coverage for the older persons, the company develo !..;ed individual policies that will substantially meet their needs at reasonable costs. Most important of all, it seems to me, is that these policies are guaranteed renewable for life and the company cannot cancel them. The company reserve.; the right to change premiums because of the experimental nature of the coverages.

should be referred to for complete de. tails.

Available to eligible males and females aged 60 to 70, inclusive. No further premitims are due after the policy anniversary following attainment of age 80, but benefits are provided during the lifetime of the insured.

Company cannot cancel policy, but may change the table of premiums rates.

The right to change premiums has been reserved by the company because the experimental nature of the coverage makes the proper level of premiums uncertain and the coverage is one for which the cost trend is uncertain. Any rate change will for the class of policyholders and not applied to any individual insured.

The cove:ages are available on two plans: A. Dai:y hospital benefit $8 with maximum surgical benefit $200.

B. Daily hospital benefit $12 with maximum surgical benefit $300.

Coverage is offered either on: A. Ordinary basis where premiums are payable quarterly, semiannually, or annually; or B. Debit basis where premiums are collected monthly by the agent at the home.

Important features of the debit and ordinary plans are as follows: A. Hospital-expense benefits: 1. Daily hospital confinement benefits: For room, board, and routine hospital services while confined as a resident inpatient in a hospital, with a maximum duration for all hospital confinement due to any one accident or during any one period of sickness of 35 days on the ordinary basis, and 28 days on the debit basis.

In each case, when the aggregate hospital-expense-benefit limit has been reached, no further premiums are required and the policy is continued in force for life for surgical-expense benefits only.

B. Surgical-expense benefits: Payment of actual charges up to the amount provided under the schedule of operations as shown in the policy.

For lives becoming insured at age 65, the premiums at the present table of rates are: Ordinary plan (quarterly premiums: $8 daily hospital benefit with maximum surgical benefit, $200: Males, $1118; females, $20.40. Twelve-dollar dilly hospital benefit with maximum surgical benefit $300; i‘'Iales, $28.77; females, $3060.

Debit plan (monthly premiums): $8 daily hospital benefit with maximum surgical benefit $200: Males, $5.60; females $6.02. Twelve-dollar daily hospital benefit with maximum surgical benefit $300; Males. $8.40; females, $9.03.

The above is given to the readers of the Vestnik as a matter of information.

Our SPJST members must know that insurance business is constantly changing and improving. We, too, cannot afford to be standing still.

4 •( STOP-SMOKING TRICK

A physiological aid to breaking the smoking habit is offered in the correspondence columns of the Journal of the American Medical Association by Dr. William Kaufman. He has obServed' that when a heavy smoker is not smoking, he "underbreathes," may take only ten to eighteen breaths per minute.

Then says Dr. Kaufman, the nonsmoking smoker becomes restless, uneasy, tense, tired, and anxious.

He advises the heavy smoker to learn to breathe normally when he is not smoking, by way of breathing exercises in which he is taught to breathe out• and then in sixteen times a minute.

Practice these exercises eight to ten times a day, five minutes at a stretch, for a month, Dr. Kaufman advises.

"After such preliminary training,, fifteen heavy smokers (each smoked over fifty cigarettes a day) found it possible to strap smoking without experiencing undue difficulty," Dr. Kaufman writes.

"Each of these patients had tried repeatedly before to give up smoking permanently, but without success." )• 4 • (

2. Additional hospital-expense benefits: For expenses actually incurred, while confined as a resident inpatient in a hospital, for items such as operating room, laboratory, X-ray and fluoroscope, medicines, drugs, surgical dressings, oxygen. The maximum payment for confinement due to any one accident or during any one period of sickness is 8 times the daily hospital benefit on the ordinary basis; and 5 times the daily hospital benefit on the debit basis.

3. Aggregate hospital-expense-benefits limit: Hospital-expense benefits for all hospital confinements, regardless of cause, may not collectively exceed during the life of the policy: The following is a brief summary of On the ordinary-basis policy, $1.600 Prudential's hospital-expense individual the daily hospital benefit is $8; $1,800 Blessed are the deaf because they canpolicies for. older . people.

I've wondered what kind of a chap he'll be And I've wished I could take his hand, Just to whisper: "I wish you well, old man"— In a way that he'd understand.

I'd like to give him the cheering word That I've longed at times to hear; I'd like to give him the warm handclasp When never a friend seems near.

I've learned my knowledge by sheer, hard work, And I wish I could pass it on To the fellow who'll come to take my place Some day when I am gone.

Will he see all the sad mistakes I've made And note all the battles lost?

Will he ever guess of the tears they caused Or the heartaches which they cost?

Will he gaze through failures and fruitless toil To the underlying plan?

And catch a glimpse of the real intent In the heart of the vanquished man?

I dare to hope that he may pause some day As he toils as I have wrought, And again some strength for his weary task From the battles which I have fought.

But I've only the task itself to leave With the cares for him to face And never a cheering word may speak To the fellow who'll take my place.

Then here's to your health old chap!

I drink as a bridegroom to his bride; I leave an unfinished task for you, But God knows how I've tried.

I've dreamed my dreams, as all men do, But seldom did big ones come true, And my prayer today is that all the dreams May be realized by you.

And we'll meet some day in the great unknown— Out in the realm of space; You'll know my clasp as I take your hand

TALE OF TWO CITIES Co-operation is the watchword in a .modern "talc of two cities," Richmond and Rosenberg.

That wouldn't seem strange in, most caes e r adjoining communities. But old-timers can remember when the only co-operative ventures between Richmond and Rosenberg were fuedin', fusin', and fightin'.

Today it's another story, a tale told by the many mutually beneficial projects of the two Ft. Bend County towns, Don't get any idea that there's a movement to combine two into a single municipality. Citizens of both places are plenty proud of their own and intend to remain separate entities.

Two institutions, the Lamar Cone°lidated School District and the $1,000,000 Polly Ryon Memorial Hospital, are immediately apparent in this mutual benefit program.

Located on a roomy 80-ac r e plot at the east end of Rosenberg, Lamar Consolidated High School and a neighboring administration building were built for $1,350,000 and opened in 1951. Some 575 students now attend the modern, brick and steel structure. The school district; serving a third of Ft. Bend County's area and about half of the population, is directed by Franklin C. Herndon, assisted

by William Graebar.

On the west side of Richmond is the 51-bed hospital which opened in 1950.

•It is endowed by the late A. P. George, long-time Houston Fat Stock Show backer, and his widow.

Another co-operative project well known to residents of neighboring counties is the 20-acre Ft. Bend County Fair Grounds. This is the scene of three big annual events, the regular fair and rodeo each October, January's stag Roundup Party to finance college scholarships, and Youth Rodeo each July.

Richmond and Rosenberg also share the phone exchange which is located nee r downtown Rosenberg. The towns were some two years ahead of big city Houston in switching to the so-called metropolitan phone number system, two letters and five digits. The Richmond exchange is 1VIOntrose, Rosenberg has NOrthfielch Although both towns maintain separate fire departments, each answers calls inside the other's boundaries.

"In fact, we had one big fire over here where the Rosenberg equipment was the first one on, the scene," Richmond Mayor Hilmer Moore recalls. Incidentally, both fire departments are among the state's top 10 in ,drill team competition. ,_----

His Rosenberg counterpart, Raymond L. Ullrich, points to another help-eachother facet of the two communities in the event' of fire or some serious disaster.

Water systems of both Richmond and Rosenberg are hooked up at a point between the two cities. If one system is knocked out, a turn of a valve allows the other water system to take over.

Law enforcement is also separated but the Men under both Richniond 'Police Chief D. E. Franklin and Rosenberg Chief J. F. Fendley tune in on Sheriff R. Z. Cowart's radio dispatcher. Which means double trouble for any law violator. With the sheriff's help, Richniond and Rosenberg police can . nab them coming or going. .

On the recreational side of life, there's the Ft. Bend Country Club with its spacious 126 acres and nine-hole golf course, located, a couple of miles south of Richmond. Howard Morehead, district manager of the Houston Lighting and Power Co,, is president of the club.

Three weekly newspapers serve residents of the two towns, two for Rosenberg and one for Richmond. Wendell Shannon publishes the Texas Coaster in Richmond and the Rosenberg Herald, while A. M. Cohen publishes the Rosenberg Reporter. Radio Station KFRD, whose president is Mart Cole, also serves the area with its 100-watt power.

One man handles the electrical and plumbing inspection chores for both communities. He's A. A. (Sonny) Pochyla, Jr. In the field of civic or g anizations, both towns have Rotary Clubs with Rosenterg also having a Lions group and a Junior Chamber of Commerce. But the Optimists have one organization for both.

And, although some of the old-titers must have shuddered, the towns' city councils have met together—one instance in particular being a. discussion of telephone rates.

In addition to the now dead rivalry, another thing that makes this coexistence a little strange is the character of the two towns.

As publisher Shannon, himself a lifelong resident of Ft. Bend County, describes it, Richmond is the oldtimer, settled by a group of Stephen F, Austin's original colonists. And Rosenberg is the youngster, founded by the Santa Fe R. R. a scant 53 years ago.

Since that time, Rosenberg has grown to three times its predecessor's size.

Census figures for 1950 list Richmond

11 el.

the county seat, at 2030 and Rosenberg at 6210. Shannon figures both towns and the surrounding area have a metropolitan population Of some 15,005,- supported by cotton, rice and oil.

Today you'll find Richmond to:he: conservative town and its neighbor the west a good deal more aggressive, willing to try new things.

And folks in both places like it ;that way, so take your pick. There'll ;always be a Richmond—and a Rosenberg! ,a —The Houston Chronicl

Few foods are expected to show any sizable change in price. Eggs, it is predicted, will take an appredIable rise. Pork will take a drop. CaSt of frying chickens will be down somewhat. The big potato crop has sent prices tumbling already.

Coffee will be cheaper.

Chickens and turkeys will be in good supplyH-enough to force prices lower, especially in view of competition for the housewife's dollar from, the record supply of red meat.

Milk and butter prices are not expected to change much during the rest of 1955. There will be a slight seasonal rise in fresh-milk price due to the lower production that comes with the autumn months. Buttes may go slightly higher, but Government supplies, which will be drawn from storage by any price upturn, will prevent large increases.

Fresh ve g etables, generally speaking, are in good supply, and prices will trend downward until the season runs out in.

September and October.

Canned fruits, despite spring-freeze damage to some tree fruits, notably peaches:, will be in good supply. Prices aren't expected to vary much except for increases due to processors' costs.

The apple crop is up to average, and prices will drop as the harvest gets into full swing. Fresh and frozen citrus lr tilts are in ample supply, and little price change is in prospect.

For coffee drinkers there's good news in reports of a much bigger crop this year and of Brazil's anticipated lowering, of its export price, which is expected to bring lower coffee prices at stores in this country, .

Babielta dovedla nasadit panu otci "hlavu na prave toptirko," jak sam se vyjadril. A kdyZ po letech dcera jeho byla At'astna, a Zivnost pod vedenim Usilovneho zete zkvetala, kterk pana otce ctil a miloval, rikal v'Zdy: "Babieka mela pravdu, za chudkm chodi s pokladniekou PanbUch!" Den pak mladkch milovala babeika, jako by jeji vnotteatka byly; ji take jinak nejmenovaly ne2 "babieko". Take pani knana, kdy po dvon letech po Kristline svatbe na panstvi se vratila, hned babieku k sobe volat kazala, ukazujic ji s plaeem krasneho chlapeeka, pamaSku to po korntese, ktera po roce svOo manZelstvi zemrela, zanechav‘gi zarmoucenemu rcanZelovi' a kneZne to deck°. Babieka chovajic je, s,kropila hedvabnou pokrkvku slzaimi; tanula ji na mysli mladinka, dobra, krasna matka jeho, ale kladouc je do naruei kneZne, pravila mirnkm sykin hlasem: "Neplaeme, piejme ji nebe, pro ni svet nebyl, proto ji Buh s neho vial. Toho ma Mill zvla gte rad, koho vezme k sobe, kdy je 'hejSt'astnejS1! A milostiva pani. neosirela." — Lide ani nevideli, jak babieka starne a schazi, jen ona sama to citila. Mnohdy rikala Adelce, z nil se stalo pane device, ukazujic na starou jablori, ktera rok co rok vice schia a sporeji zelenem se odivala: "My jsme si rovny, ptildeme asi zaroveri take spat." A jednoho jara viecky stromy se zelenaly, jen stard jablon smutne stala bez listu. Musili ji vykopat a spalit. Babielta to jaro velice kaSlala, nemohla uz dojit do meste6ka, do baiho kostelieka, jak rikala. Ruce vic a vice schly, hlava byla jako snih, hlas slabAi a slabSi. Jednoho dne rozeslala pani Terezka listy na vSe strany, aby se deli segly.

Babieka ulehla, nemohla ttZ vretanko udr2et. Z myslivny ze mlkna, z hospody i ze t ernova chodili kolikrat za, den ptat se. jak je babioce; nebylo ji lepe. Adelka se s ni modlivala; musela ji povidat kaZde rano. kaZdk veeer, jak je v sade, v zahrade, co dela drtiba, co Straeka, musela babiece poeitat, za kolik dni jate by inel pan Beyer prijit.

DOPISY A NAI1LEDY CLENC CAS NA UPOZORNENI JE TADY Dallas, Texas Ctene sestry a mill bratti: Minule na§e dve schtize faclu Jaro Oslo 130 byly hodne slabe na y§tivene. PHdna toho byla asi ty velka horka, ktere jsme posledne Willi. Ptisti schuzi, ktebude v nedeli 2. tijna, budeme mit zase nejakou svaeinu, kavu a derstve koblihy, pak bingo a domino, tak piijd'te vAichni se pobavit.

Zase nam odeAel jeden z tech dobrYch pracovnikti, kterY v2cly mel pro kaZdeho uptimnY fisme y, bratr Frank R. Linka, kterY zemtel 21. srpna ve stall 81 let a zanechal truchlivou Zenu, jednu dceru a jednoho syna. Nay' tad a v§ichni dent vyslovujeme na§i soustrast nad odchodem tohoto §lechetneho Mena.

V poslednich na gich schtzich bylo rokovano o ptiStim nastavajidim sjezdu v Temple, Texas. Tyto body byly jednohlasne piijaty; postaveni Utulny pro stare deny; zatizeni vYletniho mista pro v§echny deny; zlep§eni prate a fizeni v nagich sedmi distriktech, ktere nam tak vYborne poskytuji vzrtist v cell Jednote; a lep§i vedeni a Hzeni na gi Hlavni Madovny. Tento posledni bod povaiujeme za ten nejdfileiiteig.

Ptisel za mnou jeden bratr a ptal se mne tuto otazku: "Hugo, proe ty vZdycky zastava§ a chvali§ tak tu Hlavni Ufaclovnu v tvYch dopisech, kdy si to nekterY Utednik ani nezaslo gi?" Moje odpoved' na to byla tato: "Bratie, ja jsem sarn jako delegat v Houstone nevolil nektere Utedniky, co dues tam mame; ale ja jsem takovY stars/ deinokra,t, ze kdy vet§ina delegattl zvoli sve Utedniky ye sjezdu, ja s nimi budu pracovat stoprocentne a nebudu jim hazet kameni do testy v jejich praci. Ale pidtom budu da yat na ne pozor a jestli se nine jejich prate nebude libit, plijdu s tim do sjezdu, buduzase zvolenY delegatem, anebo to uvetejnim v nag ern Vestniku pied sjezdem."

Ten eas dues pti§el, abych mohl poukazat na bolesti, ktere nyni ma.me v Hlavni Utadovne.

Nei zaenu, vezmu vas mnoho rokil nazpet, kdy male hrstka na§ich elen9 a bratrti, kteti men naai Jednotu na srdci, se se§li a uznali, Ze musi bYt nejak.Y pteYrat•v na§i Hlavni , Utadovne, jestli se chdelne udrZet nad vodou. V§ichni jsme se usnesli tenkrat v one schtizi, ze budeme pracovat celou naSi energii pro jeden a jedinY dil—zvoliti si v ptiStim sjezdu 6INNEHO piedsedu. Jak vlte, v torn Case meli jsme ptedsedu, ktery bYval v. Houstone a Hlavni idadovna ye Fayetteville nemela Zadnou hlavu a vedeni, a

proto ty zmatky. Doufali jsme, ze to dokaleme na sjezdu v Corpus Christi, ale nepodatilo se , nam to at ye Fort Worth.

Tam jsme:':'4' einneho ptedsedu.

V§ichni uznate, Ze od to doby pokraeujeme clvojnasobne rychleji, jak finanene tak i v ziskavani Prvni bolest, kterou mime v nagi Hlay ye te--niMadove,jtZamrned lesa, ktere se nepodclaji jedno druhemu.

Dr'tiha- na§e bolest v Hla yni u'fadovneit je, ze nasi utednici netahnou jednim smerem. Jak se mute v takoye,fitaclovne zclarne pracovat, kdyii vAichni:rietahhon dohromady za jeden provaz pro dobro cell Jednoty? Nebo kde neni heslo, "v§Xchni pro jednoho a jeden prp, v§echny?" zi o torn Nebo kdyZ jeden nee° dela', dru nic nevi? Nebo kdy jeden nekam jede, a ti druzi neVedi karn jel?

Mei jsem ptilelitost bYti delegatem do sjezdu krajanskeho poji§t'ujiciho spol• ku S.V.P.S. v El Campo. Pidjeli tarn bratr Marek a bratr Na yratil z Hlavni Madovny, aby nam udelali proslov a ptali zdaru na gemu sjezdu. NeZ ptijeli, ten samY den nam ptiSel telegram od hlavniho tajemnika z Temple, v nema nam jmenem cell Hlavni inadovny take ptal St'astnY sjezd. Ani bratr Marek a Navratil, ani bratr Chupick si nevzpomneli, Hlavni fitadovna SPJST byla ji2 dobte zastoupena po dobu celeho sjezdu bratrem Cervenkou, elenem . Hlavni Utadovny, ktery jmenem Jednoty ptal sjezdu zdaru hned prvni den. Nejde ani tak o tu Utedni kart', na ktere bratr Marek a Navratil pkijeli, ale bylo to hodne ladine, kdy2 se to opakovalo po tketi. A ukazovalo to, Fe musi bYt nedorozumeni.

Sestry a bratti, vy, kteti jste byli na slavnosti Slovanske Lipy pH Waco, nepozorovali jste to velike nedorozumeni mezi na§imi hlavnimi utedniky? Jeden Utednik tbratr Chupick) si velice steZoval, ze kdyby vedel ptedem, ze bude muset tednit na jevi§ti, byl by se na to mnohem lep§i ptipravil. Po nem . vystoupil clruhY, bratr Koliha, se §esti listy, na niche mel svou tee napsanou, ktera, jiste musela bYt sestavena a ptipravena, den ptedtim.

(Pige Stefanie Walzel)

(Pokradovani.)

Ja po ce1S7 den pied tim jsem byla nejak nervosni, ale Item to trochu piemohla. Avgak rano po ptespani tikam me= staroukovi, "Tato, ja musim volat domii, mog na budu klidnejSi. Nemaji od nas zpravy ug etyti dny, a cog kdyby se neco stalo?" V deseti minutach mam ug spojeni z Needville a mluvim s nejmladgim z nagich tti synie Bylo tak nejsnaze dostat z domu zpravu.

Ja mu tekla, kde se nalezame a on nine: "Mama, nic se nestarej, kdy g jsi na vYlete, vg echno je doma v potadku." On totig obdas ptijel do Beasley dohlednout, jestli je vg e v potadku a take jeden den, totig pies nedeli, kdyg svou dilnu mel zavrenou, vypomohl gvakrove a vzal jeji misto na jeden den, aby si odpodinula.

Ori ma svoji dilnu na spravku strojii v Needville. Ptes sobotu zase na g nejstargi syn, kterY dela pro olejovou spolednost a je usazen v Houstone a v sobotu nedela., talc take ptijel a vzal misto v salone na celY den, takge gvalcrova dostala dost odpodinku. Diky vgem, ge nam umognili nag vYlet, Li prazdniny.

Tedy oddechla jsem si s leheim srddem, ze je doma v ge v potadku. Meli jsme 11 slepic a koku, poklidu mnoho nebylo, a vgichni v rodine zdravi. Ov gem jeden muj synovec mel operaci na oko za ten das co jsme byli pryd. Syn mne tikal, vge g t'astne dopadlo, talc mne se ulevilo, jako kdyby /Omen mne s prsou spadl. A talc vzali jsme dalnici 61 pies Mississippi, abychom uvideli vice sveta.

Ug neprgelo, byl krasnY den. Zeme je pisdita, misty tmavgi, prave pfekopavali bavinu ponejprv, misty bavina byla skoro talc velka jako u nas, tamer po kolena, asi ranni ptaci. V Mississippi videli jsme domky u2 na gpalikach a jen same dernochy videli pracovat v poll. Mnozi orali rem muli v palm kultivatoru zapta genYch; jen misty orali s traktorem, a takove lany baviny. Misty orali po tadkach a take pfidne, asi aby nemuseli kopat.

Mnoho ovsa a soy beans seji v Mississippi, mimo baVIny a korny. V mesteekach, jimig jsme projitdeli, nic neg samY dernoch.

Od Tunafish domovy zdaly se u2 irhlednejti a videt u2 bile lidi. Ptijigdime ke Clarksdale, krajina rovna. Na zapacle zadalo se tvotit mradno v podobe trychtYte; ja se obavala, ze nas tam stihne neco jako tornado. Ujeli jsme asi 70 mil a ja pozorovala mradno stale, chvilemi se zdalo hroziveIgi a zase zbledlo, a g se chvala Bohu ztratilo k me velke radosti.

Myslela jsem si, jegte tohle bychom potkebovali.

Pfejeli jsmle Shelby, Cleveland, Leland, bereme dalnici 82. Za Greenville

pfejigdeli jsme teku Mississippi. Most byl velmi vysokY a dlouhY, mile se a g hlava tooila s to vYky. Za tekou byli jsme u g v Arkansasu. Zeme byla 'ana dokoladova. Jeli jsme hezkou vzdalenost kolem Lake Village. Jezirka nebyla tiroka a takoyYr ochlad g el od to vocly. My zase men umele chlazeni. V Mississippi bylo ug hodne horko. Za Montrose palili ovesna strniska.

Jedeme po dalnici 165. Zde u2 farmuji povettine s traktory. Zeme zadina bYt belej g i, pisdita a videt jen bidne baraky &mocha, neobarvene, u g vetche. Nevim, jestli to zeme patii dernochtim, ale asi nikoliv, proto ge nevidet u barakir gadne stodoly, ba ani zachody. Smutne, asi ti velci rendaci bydli pohodlne v mestech.

I stado kozi jsme videli pti hranicich Louisiany. V celem Arkansasu jsme nespattili bilYch lidi v poli. Pisedne pole tak bile, ag boll oel. Za Wilmot u g jsme v Louisiana. Mississippi je asi pasmem bay lnovYm, ale nechtela bych tam bydlet, protoge jest to samY dernoch.

Na kraji Louisiany je videt hodne belohlaveho dobytka je krasne tlustY. Jedeme pies Bonita a dale; zeme zase bohatti. V Mer Rouge jsou krasne kolonialni domovy a ulice vroubena krasnYmi stromy, opravdu jako v parku. Tam mogna bydli ti bili majetnici tech neptehlednch lama zeme. Bastrop, prvni hezky mesteko v Louisiana s krasnYmi domovy, s jehlienatYmi stromy na okolo. Tam prvni jsme spattili krasne kvetiny okolo domovir od Kentucky. Jedeme pfes krasne 'nest° Monroe, asi 20 mil. Negli jsme pfijeli do tohoto mesta, byla pied nami tak hrozne zarnradene. a g vgechno modre a my jeli s hriaou proti tomu. Byli jisti, 2e jsou to kroupy, ale kdyg jsme projigdeli mestem, silnice se uhla bokem a tak jsme to nejhor gi minuli, pak ale jsme vjeli do hrozneho de gte, kde vge jig plavalo. Jell jsme asi 20 minut v torn tegkem de gti. Tam vypadaly dobre pozemky, nebo men vzacnou iirodu. Kukutice se u g sypaly a talc huste, krasne tmave zelene, vysoke jako hora, dokazovaly dobrou jakost pozemku.

Davis Lake po prave strane silnice, tizkY a dlouhY, to je ji g pfi Columbii. V Tullos maji velke olejove pole.

Do Alexandrie jsme ptijeli o 7 hodinach veder. A take jsme si uminili, ge dale nepojedeme. Tak zase vyhledali si slu gne misto k odpodinku. Turisticka nocleharna byla prave nova postavena. Vlastnili to asi Italove, proto ge v restaurants meli mot italskYch jidel, byly vgak chutne. Kdy g jsme rano vyjeli, zase pr gelo. Jell jsme v de gti asi hodinu a 20 minut. Okolo testy jsou same lesy a kopee,

jen misty uvidite bardeek a kousidek pcIicka jako dlari. Nevim, z cello ti Tide tarn giji. Od Hollinsworth na prave strane ce- • sty jest krasnY borovY mladY les. Jim kal, ge to vlada vysazela.

V De Quincy jsou velke pily, kde mirj gvakr pracoval po nekolik let. Jest.; tomu u g dayno, myslim asi pied 38 let.y.

Svakr fikal, ge delali nekde v Ruliff, an to na mape nevidet, talc jest mo gna misto zmeneno na jine jmeno. S yakr ani uverit nernohl, ge tak vYborna silnice vede ptes, ty lesy. Videli jsme tarn ohronme hrornady naloupane stromove Miry, asi take neeemu dobre a da se z toho nee/ vyrobit. Delaji novou silnici pfi De*eyville, stard je dosti gpatna; same hrby, koleba:to se v autu jako v kolebce; byl to kus nejhorgi testy nageho vYletu.

Pomalu plijigdime k texaskYm hrantcim a kdy g jsme je pfestoupili, to jsme zavYskli, ge jsme ug temet doma a zpet V nagem milem Texasu. Talc jig uhanirne_, k Beaumont. Tam bydli jettna z myth mladgich sester s rodinou, tak planuji, ge • • se tam zastavime, hezky si na chvili besedujeme, odpodineme. A ge bylo y e poledne, take by nam musela dat obedi S jistotou vgak jsme na ne telefonovali.

Avgak gadna odpovecl', tak jsme jeli roVnou k Houstonu. Obedvali jsme v Liberty.

Pak jsme se dozvedeli, ge sestra s mutem byla v Oklahoma, take na nav gteve u jeho rodiny. No, to jsme se nejak rozbesbL dovali. Ach jak nas u srdce bla gilo; '2e' jsme zase zpet bez nehody.

Na testa zpet maid Jeannie nebyla tak poslugmk, byla pokagena, ptilignYm Onovanim ji pozornosti. Kdyg dogla dceti pelivost, talc ji i trochu ten zadeeek pohladila a vette, ge to pomohlo.
