Mintde Cisla Vestniku pfineslo celou radu navrhn od sednieho distriktu. Take bratr Steiner prispel v poslednich dvou Cislech s yYmi nazory na opravu stanov. Pomalu bude navrhil na zmenu stanov pribyvat. Budou psati jednotlivi (den', prijdou nahledy od domacich Pada, a budou vy-pracovany predlohy od distriktil. A jsem jistY, Ze take nagi hlavni firednikci projevi sve nazory, nebo vysvetli, zdali to ei ono doporueeni bylo by prakticke.

V mem postaveni musim proeisti navrh na zmenu stanov nejmene dvakrat. Napred musim pozorne proCisti rukopis. A jestli je rukopis psanY men& kde pisatel vpisuje slova, my glenky a dopinky mezi raclky a na okraje, musim takovy rukopis prepsat na stroji, aby latka byla pro sazeee snadno eitelna.

To je ruclli otisk dlouhych sloupcil, ale girokYch jen dva a pill ccule. Z tech dlouhYch sloupcit se delaji ( v tiskarne tomu rikaji "lamou") stranky. Toto eteni kartaec yjrch otiskii se nazYva "korektura." Museji se yyznaeit strojove chyby, pogkozena pismena, prebyteena pismena, chybici neb prehozena pismena, nespravne mezery mezi slovy a jine typograficke (sazeeske) chyby. Tedy napred etu rukopis, kdyZ prijde po gtou. Pak ho nekdy muelm pPepisovat, kdy neni dosti eitelnY. A ka'2dou nedeli musim eisti znovu vysazenou latku, abych opravil chyby, ktere se na sazecim stroji vZdycky prihodi, zvlagte kdyZ stroj neni v prvotridnim stavu.

Od redaktora eeskeho listu se iada, aby dobre ovladal svaj nastroj, svou eeskou rec. Zaeal jsem se Ce gtine ucit, aZ kdyZ jsem byl zvolen redaktorem. Ne snad abych znal ee gtinu lope ne2 denzi, ale abych konal svou praci spravne.

Poznal jsem Ze "odporueuji" svym .detem a "cloporneuji" nagim clenunl. Proto se nedivim, ze bratr Kleprlik, kterY pomahal sestavovat navrhy na zmenu a upraveni stanov, ktere byly yypracovarte stanovnim vYborem sedmeho distriktu, pripsal lined na zaeatku zmen a navrhti, Ze je nutno upraviti eeske mein celYch stanov, aby bylo skuteene Ceske.

Tak s laskavym svolenimi bratra Moravka, zde je dnes vSelicos.

Pry ne se muslin omluvit bratru Jos. Slavikovi, ze sem jej v dopisu, ktery byl uverejnen ye Vestniku ze dne 2. listopadu obvinil z napsani to vyzvy predsedy a tajemnika VYboru na opravu stanov stran zasilani navrhil oprav jen na tajemnika VS7130111. Pri nas nav'Steve u bratra a sestry a babieky OlexovYch mimilou nedeli nine bratr Frank J. Olexa, pkedseda VYboru na Opravu stanov povedel, ze to byl on, kterY to vyzvani napsal a k uverejnCiali zaslal, a poladal inne, abych to prilelitostne ye Vestniku oznamil. Tak jsem na to koukal trochu podivne, ale milerad Zadosti bratra 0lexy vyhovuji co nejdrive, aby nevinnY obvinenY byl oeisten. Pravini, ze jsem se na to trochu podivne koukal, a to je proto, ze zkuSenost' rime uei, ze takove oznameni ma psati a psal tajennaik vYboru: o CeniZ jsem se ale ani slovern bratru Olexovi nezrninil.

Tak, tohle by bylo vykonano, a ptijdeme dale s neeim jinym. Neni mYm zvykein se ye Vestniku chlubit kde jsme byii, jsrne tarn nav'Stivili, jak jsme byli pohosteni a co jsme si povidali, — ale dnes udelam vYjimku, protole okolnosti byly tak neobvykle. Zaelo to v patek rano, pri snidani. Zvoni telefon, -Anka jej jde odpovidat, a dle jejich odpovedi soudime, ze jest to z daleka. nam pak kekla, ze ji sestra. Olexovy zvala na divadlo do Houstonu, a ze nevi jak a co, vynesl jsem Usudek, proe ze by nejela? Tak si to rozmyslela, zavolala

1.7 S TN t K --- WEST, TEXAS sestru Olexovou v Houstonu a sdelila ji e prijede.

Pozdeji, kdyZ Anka nebyla v kuchyni, povidam •nriome: "Col aby jsme si z Anky ucielali ten zest, v nedeli se sebrali a jell ji a Olexovi prekvapit." Mama ze ne, ze nevidim dobre a 'Ze bych tarn nedojel. V sobotu odpoledne byl u nas syn Franta, kterY se nabidnul, ze Anku doveze na nadraZi, a ja jsem mu, aby to Anka neslykla, povidal jakou nabidku jsem matce ueinil a jakou odpoved' jsem dostal. NeZli jsem rnohl mluvit Franta povida: Prot nejet? Ja. a Nelda pojedeme take, a pojedeme na mem Pontiaku. A mama hned se nabidla, Ze bude platit vYlohy testy. Tak jsme v nedeli pied patou rano vyjeli a bylo jedenacte jsme stall pied olejovou stanici bratra Rudy 8efeika na Airline Road.

A re se nam, v Houstonu dostalo velice pratelskeho prijeti dosvedeuje okolnost, ze i Houstonska telefonni spoleenost byla tim pratelstvim naookovana a kdy%r z Rudyho stanice Frank zvonil Olexovion a spojeni bylo Rudym prekaZene, dostal misto jednoho niklu zpatky dva. Rudy mu zatim opatkil spojeni na jeho telefonu, kde se nemuselo platit, — a bylo hotovo. Jen Frank Zadal Olexovy aby Ance nerikali ze jsme v Houstonu. A skuteene jsme ji prekvapili.

Divadlo "Laska kvete v kaZdem veku" se liana, libilo, — velice k tonau prispelo, ze, aekoliv idohy byly obsazene ponejvice jen mladymy, zde rozenYmi silami, jejich eekina a vYreenost' byla bezvadna a to pusobi na posluchaee valycky pkijenine. SoAli jsme se znovu s mnoha prateli a znamYmi, a nekteki zdaleka; jako pratele bratra Jana Oajevskeho, aZ z Fort Worth, s nim jell z Orchard na divadlo podivat.

Kdy2 jsme byli u Olexu, v nedeli k polednirnu, byl Frank Olexa prave pa prichodu do domu volan k telefonu, — a volal jej bratr 8krabanek, reditel pateho okrsku. Kdy2 mu Frank sclelil, ze jsme v Houstonu, prat si se mnou a s Ankou mluvit, a zeal nas aby jsme se v pondeli prigli do Fort Worth podivat, jak Farm Bureau vybira a. korunuje kralovnu jejich spolku. Jak nine bratr 8krabanek vysvetlil, Texas jest rozd61en na trinact okrsku, kaaly priblEne s dvaceti okresy Sta.tu.

V pondeli rano nam bratr Pokladnik telefonoval aby jsme jeli s nim, a take deset minut po pate odpoledne byl u nas.

Tato souteZ, ktera nela bYti v Texas totelu muoiela ale bYt preluZena do Majestic divadla pro veliky poeet na y Stevnikit. A take divadlo bylo do posledniho sedadla obsazene a vzadu a kolem celeho hlediSte divaci vie jak tri Diodiny trpelive stall a tuto zajimavost ,plozorovali. A ono take bylo co pozorovat.

Napied byli predstaveni pohlavari Farm Bureau, ne ale aby "reeriovali", --Fen aby nayStevnici vedeli kdo jsou, protole byli dosti einni po celY veeer.

Tito pak udileli jednotlivyna pracovnikUrn spolku ceny: za prodani v kaZdern okrsku nejvetSitio obnosu Zivotniho pojtSteni, pojiSteni automobilu, a to treti myslim ze bylo pojiSteni Tea majetek.

Take vyznamenani za praci v jednotlivych okrskach a okresech; a toto trvalo pres hodinu. Jsem jist, ze to bylo pro eleny velice povzbuzujici.

Pak byli predstaveny kandidatky koruny. Jedna po druhe, dle eisal okrsktl, — vSechny v plesovYch Aborech, ei jak bych oesky jmenoval eemu se zde tika "formals", a byla to skuteend podivana.

KdyZ byla predstavena kandidatka Oslo 13, za posledni okrsek, vkchny promenadovali po velikem jeviSti nekolikrat kolem, pak odstoupili, -- a po chvili byli pkedstaveny jedna po druhe zase, — ale tentokrate to trvalo dosti dlouho, protole se jich obradnik vyptaval na jejich zalelitosti, veci ktere vliv na itsudek souclen; a pri tomto vyptavani bylo hodne veselosti v hlediad, dle toho jake byly odpovedi. Obyeejna otazka byla jakou Skolu nav'Stevuji a jestli se chti vdati. Pri torn se jedne zeptal, jake vlastnosti hied& u sveho nastavajiciho maiaZela, co vlastne tento musi bYt, byla posledni otazka. A odpoved'?

"Just a man." Nasledovala bouke smichu.

NeZli soudcove oznamili jmeno kralovny a druhe nejlepSi kandidatky, meli dosti pekne pobaveni komickkm vYstupem jednoho elena, kterY pak vedl spoleene zpevy. Pak zase byli v'Sechny kandidatky zavolany na jeviSte a za chvili bylo ozna.meno jmeno princezny, totiZ te, ktera dostala druhY nejvetSi pneet bodn. Po ovaci oznameno jmeno kralovny. Bylo to devee dosti vysoke,

Strana 8 silne ale S"tihle postavy, jak sama ye vYslechu rekla, s praci na farme obezwale, ktera umi i kravu podojit. 0 tomto trochu does rano pochybuji, proto2e noviny prinesly zpravu, 2e jeji rodide vlastni jenom tisic akrti pozemku v okresu Dimmltt. Ta. asi nikdy •nemusela kravy dojit.

Celkem tato soute2 a korunovace byla pro na y Stevniky velice prijemne, a pro rids i pouene ztraven9 veder, kter9 pro zabavni poiad sjezdu Farm Bureau Federation vypinil jedcn celY dlouhY weer. Nu, a jak u2 jinak nemii2e bYt, nemohl jsem se vylanouti mySlence, prod by neco podobneho nemohlo b9t provedeno pii naSem sjezdu. Jest to dobra a neinna reklama pro takovy spolek jako jest naSe Jednota aneb Farm Buerau Federation, kterY, jak jsem se ji2 zminil, po mine takovu soute2 a ko.runovaci usporadal. Kdyby to spolku nejak Skodilo, jiste by to neopakovali. 0vSem, jest s tim dosti prate a take nejake vydani. Kaaie devee dostalo za odmenu naramkove hodinky, — co pak dostali kralovna a princezna ani nevim, obe ale byli yyznamenany krasnou kytici kaZda. Ceho jsem si ale dobre vSimnul, byla y Yprava a okrasy jeviSte; a nebylo to nikterak prepychove.

Myslim ale, ze nejvetSi vliv na vybrani kralovny melo to, co na otazku ceremoniare, prod jsou oni a jejich rodiny 'eleny Farm Bureau Federation mel jeji kratky proslov. A nektere ty proslovy byly skuteene dobre promySlene a ukazovaly Upinou znalost tohoto spolku.

Nikdo se lune asi nebude ptat na intij posudek teto soute2e a korunovace, — ani by nebyl pak moc Upin9; jenom to 8i myslim, 2e ta naSe deveata jsou hezdi a se bude tern &oudctim hodne te2ko kralovnu ze sedmi vybrati. Mluvim, jako by to bylo ji2 uskuteeneno; a take doufam ze to uskuteeneno bude.

Jinou zale2itost, ktera nine stale phchazi na mysl, jest naSe prohlidky, di prohlidky naSich spolkovych zalelitosti zrizanci Statniho Odboru PojiSteni. Navrhnul jsem y e sjezdu y e Fort Worth do stanov dodatek, aby zprava techto prokterou pa kaZcle takove problidce podaji statninit komisakfun pojiSteni a tento poSle opis na naSi Hlavni idacloVnu, byla mimeografovana a jeden opis teto zpravy byl za.slan na tajemnika kaZdeho radu; a pakli eleni se dosti o takove veci zajimaji a po2aclaji pisemne Hlavni Uradovnu o zaslani jednoho vYtisku, tento byl kaalemu kterY on polada, zaslan.

Pri podavani tohoto navrhu jsem mel na mysli tu prvni prohlidku, kterou statni Obor PojiSteni u naM Jednoty vynal, — a posudek tato prohlidky komisarem Danielem. Die tohoto ustanoveni,

VEST 1%,11 — WEST, TEXAS poriadal jsem o zpravy poslednich dvou prohlidek, to jest v roku 1951 a 1954, a otisky take dostal. Upozornoval jsem take ji2 pied trerni roky nade eleny clopisem y e Vestniku, ally si tyto zpravy jako ten nejlepSi posudek naSich zalelitosti jak mohou dostati. 0vSem, osobne myslim, ze by tato zprava rozhodne mela bYti uverejnena ve Vestniku. Snad by si ale nekclo moial mysleti, 2e elentim do toho nic .neni.

Nekter9m jiste ne, tern co nemaji ani trochu zajmu o naSe hospodareni; ale jsem jist, ze .mame tisice Beira, ktere by to velice zajimalo. Z y laSte zprava to posledni statni prohlidky. Nevim prod ta by nemohla b9t uverejnena; jest pro Jednotu velice lichotiva a prizniva, i kdyZ misty jest pronesena kritika naSich zalelitosti.

Ta kritika neni nikterak 'Skodliva, naopak, jest velice potiOnd a, jeliko2 jest pronesena nestrannymi einiteli, nanZete ji verit. Co tito reknou, reknou jen ve snaze prospeti nadi Jednote; a to by mel tedy ka2c19 den disti. A aby snaha. techto nrednikti byla co nejlepdi z Wadi strany podporovdna, navrhuji v mem .minulem dopisu y e Vestniku, aby protokol priStiho sjezdu byl prelolen do anglicke redi. To by taint() statnim . drednikturt usnadnilo posouzeni priein pro to -neb ono ustanoveni naSich sjezPrieina pro to take jest, ze vidim pri studovani jejich. zpravy vYroky a kritiky, ktere jsou zalolene, die jejich pojmu, na stanovech ale s kterYmi stanovy nemaji nic spoleeneho. Jest to jejich kritika kterou najdete v poslednich dvou radkach stranky 5 a eel& stranky 6; stran voleni koupe to budovy v Temple.

Adkoliv toto voleni nernelo a nerna, se stanovamy CO delat, prec ale jest spra y -nevtomsyiurc,2e:zainstvebniho v9borti, jejich pra y a povinnosti, nebyly y e sjezdu presne vytdeny.

Jednalo se o tom na poclla✓ e, — jednalo se take dosti rychle, aby se to prorazilo, a pak jsme ani my ani ti statni nevecteli, kclo ma pra y ° a koupi hlasovat a kdo. ne. Kdyby jsme byli tuto vac preclan v9boru aby to dobre prostudoval a ptipravil zpravu, byli by jsme CC to kritide vyhnuli. Protokol v anglicke keel by byl statnim nreclniktim dal mnohem loppojem o torn, jak se a teto veci jednalo. Doufam, ze 2e se takov9in chybam v bucloucnsoti vyhneme. Jest lope miti pet, sub"' neb clevet elenn, kteri by celou Yee klidne prohledli, probrali a posoudili, ne21i poslouchati kaZdeho zajernce na podlaze, a nemiti vec podrobne

Ve stkedu, dne 16. listopadu 1955. kterYin jsem se musel dokonce usmat, — ale kterY jest ukazka jejich pfesne a vzorne • prace. Na strance 29. Hlavni Uradovnou mimeografovane jejich zpravy naleznete zminku i o tech $192,77 ktere Jednota jeSte ma ulo2ene v eesk9ch ueebnicich, — ci ditankdch. Ti statni inednici o tomto obnosu pravi doslovne toto: "The above captioned amount (129.77) represents money advanced by the Order to purchase Czech books. Since the asset fails to meet the statutory investment requirements, it has been deducted as an asset not admitted in the financial statement of this report."

Maliekost', ze ano, ale neujde jim. Ve priStim sjezdu by eleni Hlavni firadovny meli podati navrh, aby na zakladu teto statni zpravy tento obnos byl sjezdem z naSich zdrojh vynat. Stane-li se tak, bude to protokolovano, a pak se firednici Hlavni arado yny snadno prokaZi 2e to sjezd zrusil, anglickym prekladem protokolu.

Jinak najdete v to zprave celou radu dtdelitYch eislic; jako ku prikladu 2e v roku 1954 Jednota yyplatila za pravnickou pra.ci celkem jenom $16,465.57; a naleznete to na strance 15 tato zpravy pod titulem "Legal fees and expenses."

Aneb na strance 24 'Leto zpravy naleznete, se jsme koncem roku 1954 1370 pujeek; a to na prvni zaruky. Pak doleji mate Viny rozvrh na co ty piljeky byly udelane. Zde jest ten jejich porad, jak jej na to strance 24 maji: 862 obydli, a obnos, souhrn pUjeek 384 fanny, 79 obchonich budov, 17 kostela, 12 radovYch sini, 4 divadla, 1 plo y arnu, 1 prazdnY lot a 10 ain2ak-U, a u vSech ucla.vaji souhrn piljeek.

Neni to moZne vypsat vSechno, jest to ale ohromne zajimave a pouene, aspal pro nine. Takova prohlidka stoji, myslim, blizko $5,000.00, — ale stoji to za to. Jest to rozhodne lepSi, neZli ta prohlidka jakou ndm podali k tomu pied minulYm sjezdem najati soukrcini neetnici. Ti neposuzuji, jak mud jedenkrate iekl Set jedne dallaske firmy, ktera u nail Jednoty delala prohlidku kolem roku 1931 neb 1932, kdy2 jsem se dotazoval, prod nepodal zpravu o jakobondn. Do toho noun nic neni, ti rekl rand prima. To byla ta pu..dedni prohlidka soukromou firmou, talk to prevzal stat, — a co ti "lam uka.zali v 1933 neb pozcloji, bylo spasa nail Jednoty.

Br. redaktore, sestry a brat Jako vZidy tak i tento posledni Maneeek od br. F. Steinera jsem pozorne dvakrate preeetl a bez pochleboveni red se priznam, Ze v rozboru naSich stanov lokdo z rids se jemu vyrovna.

Rad bych tedopravil zanechanY dojem, (pro infoernaci stejne se mnou smylejicich), ze dosud jsem zastavatel pojmu, Ze i ty nude Spine neeinne rady by mely bYti na priStich nasich sjezdech sostoupene.

Zkuknosti zaZite co bYvaly tajemnik 3. distriktu primely nine ku zmene nahliZeni.

Nektere ty nak rady, kterYm jsem misty 9,Z osmkrate o soucinnost sluSnYm znasobem dopsal, vubec ani neodpovedely, vzdor tomu, Sc ten naS 3. distrikt prec zdarnou einnosti se vykazoval.

Doufam, Ze mne tedy nebudete % htzliyeti, Sc sve nahledy jsem pritomne zmenil a Ze dle poznatek nyni souhlasim s vYvocly bratra Steinera, i s jeho odporuceni.

Dosud verim, ze budoucnost a zdarnr pokrok nazi Jednoty leli v rukou tech naSich distriktu, tam kde vkly je lost k vYmene nabledt, a kaZdY red, kterY zanedbava konati povinnosti pri'Stim sjezdem regulovane, mel by tYti zbaven v budoucnosti zastoupeni na sjezdu.

Tak na to odenyni hledim a pevne cioufam, ze zmena nazi Jednote jen prospeje.

Dosud mnoho jsem k podpore te myMenky neprispel, pouhYch osm dolarti.

Nechlubim se, je to Indio, ale dale premYM1m, kdyby jen poloviria nakho e'enstva SPJST prispela jen polovinou toho, co dosud jsem s radosti sam prispel, melt bychom do zaeatku vie jak $40,000.00, Ze arm?

T S OF THE WHEN WE ORGANIZED THE SPJST, every member bought life insurance to meet immediate emergency needs at death. Even now, we are so set in our thinking that we still have in the Bylaws, in Article 114, this sentence: Insurance benefits will be (a) insurance in case of illness; (b) insurance in ease of death. That was the old concept of the function of life insurance. But that concept has been gradually expanding and changing. I would suggest that some of the members of the preconvention Bylaws Committee take notice of this old-fashioned wording; o LET US GET THIS STRAIGHT: WE are not a burial society. We don't sell funeral services. Now the thinking of the younger members of our Order is more and more in terms of income needs of dependents, needs which may extend many years beyond the immediate emergency resulting from death.

We have as many endowment certificates as we have life certificates. We have retirement plans. We stress our services in terms of income needs. The time is not too far in distance when the SPJST members will think not so much in terms of buying $3,000 or $10,000 to his wife or to his heirs, but rather in terms of buying a certificate to pay a monthly income of $50, WO, or more to her, or an income to himself. o e YOU HAVE TO DIE TO WIN WAS the old saying about life insurance.

That saying is not true any more. In some life insurance companies more than half of the life insurance in force is now payable under income settlement agreements, rather than as a lump sum.

Practically all life insurance policies (and also many fraternal certificates) have a provision reading somewhat like this: "If it is so elected, the whole or any part of the net stun payable under this policy (or certificate, if a fraternal society) as a death claim, or as a cash value, will be paid under one of the modes described below instead of in one sum."

SINCE WE DO HAVE THE OPTIONAL settlements, our members should have

Br. Kubena also stated that he believes we are now on the right road to the writing of new insurance. That our set-up as we now have it cannot bring full results at once but we should see the progress within, a year.

Secretary Chupick brought up for the consideration and disposition the payment of unpaid death benefits due to the beneficiaries of a former member of the Order, whose beneficiaries reside in " Czechoslovakia. It was agreed that the 'payment of this death claim should be placed in the hands of Ate to rney Pavlicek for disposition.

Treasurer Koliha presented for the consideration and disposition an offer for an oil lease, on our REO , No. 1, in Atascosa, County, Texas, It was agreed that this oil lease offer should be accepted, and the President and Secretary of the Supreme Lodge were authorized, directed and instructed to execute such all leas ,e for and on behalf of the Supreme Lodge. Another offer for an oil lease en this property presented

by S,ecretary Chupick was rejected.

Secretary Chupick presented some correspondence he had with the debtor und,er our hilL No. 50t3, relative to purchasing an additional lien on the same property, refinancing the loan, and increasing' it to not in excess of the original ame n t.

President Merck then made orally his report to the Supreme Lodge meeting.

The written report was presented by President Marek to Secretary Chupick, after the meeting, and filed with other reports.

President Marek presented for consideration the issuance of insurance certificates in excess of $1000.00 to applicants in service, army, navy and Air Force. After considerable discussion it was agreed that certificates be issued to men in service of the armed_ forces, not to exceed $5000.00 who are not pilots and who do not fly.

Wednesday, November 16, 1955

that no compensation will be paid to the delegates, except, their mileage.

Upon motion duly made, seconded, and carried, the donation of $200.00 to the United Fund of Temple, Texas, was approved.

Secretary Chupick presented for the consideration of the Supreme Lodge a tentative application for a loan of $50,000.00, with, reference to which he has had some correspondence for several months, the security for which loan ,appears to be valued at from $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 and which loan would not be glo8ed until March of April, 1956.

By unanimous consent it was agreed that the application for this loan should be accepted and processed in usual manner.

Financial Secretary UrbanN ysky stated that innaddition to his written report, which he presented to all members of the Supreme Lodge, He had no additional report to make.

In addition to his written report, which he presented, to all members of the Supreme Lodge in the meeting, Treasurer Koliha reported on a number of delinquent loans., all of which were discussed and considered individually, and relative to the handling and disposition of which pertinent resolutions were adopted, in accordance with the facts, conditions, and circumstances presented, in each individual case.

When the renting of our farms for 1956 was brought up, it was agreed that same should be rented on. the 1955 basis for cash.

When the sale of our 'RE° No. 1Peters Farm in Atascosa County, Texas, was presented to the Supreme Lodge for consideration by Treasurer Koliha, it was agreed to defer the sale of this property, In addition to his written report, Attorney Pavlicek made his report to the Supreme Lodge, relative to several delinquent mortgage loans which were placed in his hands for collection, and foreclosure. All of these delinquent loans were discussed fully and appropriate individual resolutions were adopted regarding further procedure in connection with the collection and foreclosure of same.

Attorney Pavlicek presented a voucher tendered to the Supreme Lodge by an oil company, an settlement of any damages that may have accrued to the Supreme Lodge, by virtue of probable drainage of oil by said oil company, from under our RMO No. 91. Upon motion duly made and carried, it was agreed to accept the settlement offered, with the agreement, and understand-

Wednesday, November 16, 1955 ing that Attorney Pa ylicek should first make a thorough investigation of this settlement proposition before it is accepted, and the release given for it, and that Attorney Pavlicek be paid a collection fee in connection, with this transaction.

Attorney Pavlicek stated that he was moving his law offices from the Shell Bldg., to 504 Sterling Bldg., in Houston, Texas, effective November 1, 1955.

President Marek read a letter he received from Bro. Pukladnik of Dallas, Texas, written in the nature of a petition, on behalf of District No. 3, that a contest should be conducted in all the Seven Districts of the Order to select a Queen of the SPJST at the next convention, of the estimated cost of $1,400.00, of which cost, the Supreme Lodge was requested to donate $700.00, and the remaining $700.00 is to be raised by the Seven Districts.

A motion was made and seconded that this matter be tabled. This motion was not voted on, Finally, upon motion duly made, seconded, and carried, it was agreed that President Marek should submit this matter to the local lodges for their reaction and let the local lodges decide by their ballot whether or not such contest should be held.

This matter is to be finally disposed of in the January meeting of the Supreme Lodge. It was agreed that this proposition should be submitted to the local lodges so that it could be voted on in the annual meetings of the Local Lodges and that if it is not approved by five out of the seven, districts that it shall be dropped. The vote on this proposition shall be based on the voting strength of the lodges at the last convention.

When it was brought to the attention of the Supreme Lodge that some lodges or members of the Order insist that the last report of the examination of our Order by the State Examiners should be published in the Vestnik, by unanimous consent it was decided not to publish the report in the Vestnik.

The meeting was adjourned for supper from 6:25 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Director Skrabanek presented a letter from the Steering Committee of District No. 5, requesting the Supreme Lodge to defer the sale of our REO No. 18-Psencik Land in Bastrop County, Texas, since this property might be suitable for a youth camp in the event the Order decided to build a youth camp, as it is anticipated, by some members of the Order.

Director Stepan stated that the Supreme Lodge should decide definitely whether our Rgx) No. 18-Psencik Land,

REPORTS FROM DISTRICTS good start, a nice size "egg" for the convention.

Now, since we start the "Utulna" fund, why shouldn't ny e turn the Moucka. Fund into it? I don't think we would call the Old Folks Home by the name "Moucka's Home." As much as we may respect any of our departed brothers, it wouldn't be fitting to single out one of them and treat with indifference other faithful members and builders of the SPJST. We have to be fair and impartial, probably more diplomatic in selecting the right name for the "Utulna." The name of the late editor Moucka would be more fitting in connection with the SPJST Library at the SPJST Building in Temple. There we could have Moucka's portrait hanging as the door opens. He was more in the literary field, among the books and writings, not so much among the old folks. Think it over, members. Let us talk about all of this in our preconvention district meetings. But let the meetings be held after our Bylaws Committee get through with its tasks and after we get the Committee's report.

There seems to be an undercurrent to do away with the bookkeeper's office at the headquarters. There is no sense in it. I don't believe we should abolish the office. But the Bylaws Committee should simplify our bylaws.There are too many unnecessary phrases and long articles which should be cut down.

Let us have every article to be short, simple, easily understood. And above all let us remove the clauses and provisions that contradict each other.

Fraternally, F. K. Bucek

TWO VITAL PROBLEMS Brother J. F. Chinelicek, editor of the Organ C. S. A., o1 Chicago, prepared ' t,&following article and asked me to here it published in both the Czech and the English sections of the Vestnik.

Brother Chmelicek's article points out that we have mutual problems which are of vital importance, notably the establishment 'of an Old People's Home.

It will be through co-operative efforts that bigger ventures can be realized.

Read the article free from bias and prejudice.—Editor.

REPORT. OF THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Br. Prank J. Vodrazka on his visit to the 13th Convention of the Western Bohemian Fraternal Association held in Dallas, Texas, August 2649, 1955.

Brothers and Sisters: In being delegated by our President, Bro. W. J. Muzik to represent him at the Dallas convention of the W.B.F.A. I deemed it a great responsibility aside from delivering our sincere fraternal greetings to submit to the delegates present two problems which I feel are vital to the future of our Czech fraterml benefit system in the United State.

1. The merger of all Czech fraternals into one strong and massive organization.

2. The establishment of a Home for our , Aged members.

There cannot be any doubt that our societies for the next several decades shall show a continuous growth, but are we just going to sit by and do nothing about the future of our societies by watching our annual gains in membership diminiSh? If at the present we do not consider this an opportune time to merge our Czech fraternals into one massive grou p, then why not approach our fraternal future by jointly working together in establishing a committee consisting of members from, our Czechoslovak fraternals who would jointly work together to establish a Home for the Aged Members. A home which would be located in the central part of the United States where the climate is more stable so that our elderly brothers and sisters could enjoy the remaining years of their life without any monetary worries.

Under the Social Security laws we find that the old age benefits in many instances do not provide sufficient security for their future.

I am submitting herewith my speech I delivered at the W.B.F.A. convention

with a hope that our other Czechoslovak Societies consider its merits.

Should this Home for the Aged members become a reality it could be established' as an everlasting monument to Czech fraternalism in these United States. The time is now, let us not pass it by.

Honorable Mr. Chairman and Delegates to the 13th Convention of the Western Bohemian Fraternal Association: I deem it a great honor and a privilege to be given this opportunity to be present with you at this convention in the great City of Dallas, Texas, I bring to you the fraternal greetings and good wishes of our president brother W. J. Muzik and of our entire Executive Committee of the oldest fraternal benefit Society in this country, the Czechoslovak Society of America.

For 101 years, our Czech fraternals have served mankind and served it well.

In the early years our societies have helped our forefathers to become acclimated to their new homeland and by being afforded the opportunity to organize into their own fraternal groups they have contributed greatly to the development and progress of the United States.

As fraternalists may we be endowed with the understanding, of how fortunate we are to live in these United States and, that under our democratic form. of government we are able to gather at conventions such as this, to convey and to exchange our ideas and to work in a combined force for the mutual benefit of mankind.

In the four days that you will be in session, you will help to formulate the future of your Society for the next four year. I ask that you place upon your agenda for consideration the possibility of a merger of all Czech Fraternal Benefit Societies into one strong and massive organization which would be of a great benefit to all of our people. It would eliminate the unnecessary competition in our own fraternal groups and enable us to give our members greater benefits than ever before.

Secondly, I ask that you give some consideration to the idea of establishing a committee which with the committees of our Czechoslovak fraternals would work to establish a Home for the Aged members, where our elderly brothers and sisters could enjoy without any work, the remaining years of their life. Tnis home could be maintained by a small contribution from our mem-

bers, and it would not become a financial burden to any one society.

We would thus, establish a lasting monument which could prove beneficial in perpetuating the Czech fraternal movement in this country. Let us re-member that a. a united group we will be able to accomplish greater things than any one grdup could achieve alone.

To all of you, I extend my personal congratulations and best wishes for suc.. . cess to this Convention. May your 13th convention attain the best possible results and may your Society serve its members in the future as well as it has in the past. I thank you. j • 4, • (

THANKSGIVING LOVE STORY "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" may not have been Priscilla's exact words, but there's proof America's favorite romance did take place.

Of the world's famous love stories, undoubtedly the closest to American hearts is the courtship of Priscilla and John Alden, immortalized in charming rhythm by the poet, Longfellow, a direct descendant.

The story is as much a part of the folklore of Tnanksgiving as the Mayflower Pilgrims themselves.

You recognize Priscilla's astonishing reply to John's proposal for her heart and hand made in the name of his friend, Capt. Miles Standish, in these lines:: Archly the maiden smiled, and, With eye overrunning with laughter, Said in a tremulous voice: "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?"

Historians maintain the tale is a myth. Pure poetry, they say, taken ()in hearsay family legends, without foundation in fact.

Well, let it remain the pleasant fiction historians avow that it is. The hard ewe of truth si that John and Priscilla did get married and from that marriage, in three centuries and 30 years, have sprung multitudes of Alden descendants.

EISENHOWER MOVES TO FARM On Monday this week, President Eisenhower moved to his farm at Gettysburg, Fa., for further recovery of perhaps six weeks. That means that the farm, which is about 75 miles from Washington, has already become a temporary "White House."

President Eisenhower started buying his farm with plans for only a modest retirement place. Until his heart attack on September 24, political pressure was used to keep him from realizing his dream of retirement. There was plenty of talk about a second term. But now, as a result of his illness, President Eisenhower takes up temporary residence there for a period of convalescence.

Thus, the little farm that Mr. Eisenhowed once had in his mind as a place for retirement has suddenly become something far different. It is now to be the actual seat of the Government, at least for a short time.

Wherever the President happens to be for a week or more, some of the Government's most vital machinery follows him, The President has a number of assistants and secretaries. They will have to be within his reaching distance. There will be office workers, Secret Service men to guard the President, engineers and technicians to operate elaborate communication system.

Doctors, reporters, President's advisors and others will move close to the farm of the President. The plans have already been worked out to change the farm into a temporary seat of the Government, to the nerve center of the nation.

President Eisenhower's farm measures 496 acres. It is much bigger than what the President originally intended to have. Six years ago, when the Eisenhowers started to look for a place to buy, they wanted a much smaller farm.

One of their close friends, living near Gettysburg, suggested a farm of 189 acres three miles out of Gettysburg.Mrs. Eisenhower, who was doing the house hunting, needed just one look at the farm and the magnificent view of the mountains in the distance. She bought the farm before her husband had even seen it. She paid $40,000 for it, $24,000 for the land and $16,000 for stock and machinery. But that was just a beginning. It turned out to be a much bigger estate, more land, better buildings, an expensive undertaking.

The house, nearly a hundred years old, was remodeled so thoroughly that it was virtually rebuilt. The original nine rooms were expanded to fourteen. Only

the brick center section was preserved.

Eisenhower's friends advised and warned that it would be cheaper to tear the house down completely and build a new one from the very foundation.

But Mrs. Eisenhower wanted to retain some of the original charm of the old house, the oversize fireplace, the Dutch oven, the massive ceiling beams. So the rebuilding turned out as it always does —close to $150,000 with new equipment, a central air-conditioning plant, refrigerators, heaters, all modern appliances.

But the cost did not end with the remodeling. To have more privacy, other land was added to the original acreage.

Another farm was bought, 124 acres bordering on the south side. A year later, still another tract of 161 acres was bought on the north side. And every acre of newly bought land was priced much higher than any acreage purchased before. Thus, a wedge of 21 acres between two tracts belonging to Eisenhowers cost them $15,000, and another piece of land, less than an acre, could not be bought for less than $4,200.

All this has turned the Gettysburg farm into an expensive proposition.

Land costs alone have risen to $142,518, an average of nearly $290 an acre. Include the expense of remodeling the house, and the cost per acre reaches nearly $540.

Now, with more than $267,500 sunk in the farm, the President faces another question to which time alone will provide the answer: Can he intake it pay? To work such a farm takes real money.

Best indications are that the President has spent on the farm a great part of the $476,250 he realized on his book, "Crusade in Europe." Mr. Eisenhower relinquished his claim to a $20,000-a-year pension as a five-star general when he resigned to run for office.

Beyond his presidential salary, outside investments reportedly bring him $30,000 a year at most.

For the present, however, Mr. Eisenhower is not to be burdened with the care, financial and otherwise, of a farmer. Mr. Eisenhower came there from Denver to rest. Presidential burdens will be kept very light at the start, increased only gradually as his strength permits.

For the President's convenience, a direct telephone line to the White House in Washington has been installed, and top-secret measures have been taken to prevent it from being tapped.

Top officials flying from Washington to consult with the President can make the trip in about 45 minutes. By car, it

is a two-hour drive. Only necessary talks will be permitted, and they will have to be brief. it is hoped that the cares of office will leave the President time for restful quiet. The stillness there is broken only by the creaking of an old windmill, which Ike says reminds him of his boyhood.

If doctors insist, Mr. Eisenhower can live and work entirely on the ground floor of the house, where he has a study, a den, his office and a bedroom.

For recreation, the PreSident will have a number of choices, depending on how much activity doctors allot him.

The house has a television set' and a substantial library. If he is permitted to climb stairs, he can go to his welllighted attic studio to paint.

Outside, 400 feet from the house, is a newly dug pond, stocked with bass and bluegill. Here Mr. Eisenhower can indulge his hobby of fishing, if doctors permit. There is. also a fancy grill on which he can try his hand_ at another hobby--outdoor cooking.

As, for sightseers, they're in for a rough time if they attempt to intrude upon the presidential rest and privacy.

Heavy iron chains with "Private Road" signs block the entrances to the farm, and uniformed White House police, sta tioned in sentry boxes, will drive away trespassers. Secret Service agents, housed near the main residence, will be • on 24-hour duty. Girdling the entire farm is a new photo-electric alarm system. Any intrusion breaks its circuit and brings agents on the double.

So, after a while he tried Finance Co.-B to take care of Paul, plus a new collection of Toms, Dicks and Harrys, and so it went. Two different offices of the same finance company made loans to the couple.

Yet, a call from one office to the other —a routine check—would have revealed the debtor's plight.

Who's to blame? The husband and wife were indiscreet. They let their wants run away with them. But they were young and inexperienced with lenders. As I see it, the i'amily was viethnized. But not by loan sharks. These creditors are staid financial institutions, whose presidents stand for the sanctity of contract, safety of deposits, stability of investment and caution.

The incident poses questions for all of us.

VESTNtX— WEST, TEXAS BRUSSELS SPROUTS Brussels sprouts interest us this month because they are such a highly satisfactory fall and winter vegetable and because they are higher in vitamin C content per serving than almost any other vegetable. Sprouts belong in the cabbage family which is, as one nutritionist puts it, an "enormous tribe"—developed mostly by Dutch gardeners from the wild brasica maritime.

Mustard, radishes and watercress belong to the same family.

Leaves of the cabbage family spread wide to absorb energy from the sun by means of the chlorophyll in their green parts. Where there is chlorophyll there is almost always vitamin A. You can expect to find iron, too, in abundance.

The vitamin C is present to catalyze (or bring about) the changes in the leaf that permit the formation of carbohydrates or sugars from carbon dioxide and water. This is the purpose of that marvelous chemical factory that hums along busily in every individual piece of plant life. The greener the leaf, the more vitamin A, iron and vitamin C you can expect to find. Brussels sprouts grow very prettily up on the tall stem of their plant, decc:ating it almost as gladioli blossoms bedeck their stems.

Strum 21 sulfur compounds in them, releasing the objectionably strong smell. Instead, these foods should be washed and dried quickly as soon as they are brought home. They should be stored in the refrigerator if you must store them . before eating. When you cook them, drop them, thoroughly chilled, into rapidly boiling water. Keep the heat high until the water comes to a boil once again, then turn it low and cook only until the sprouts are tender. This should be no longer than eight or ten minutes.

The sprouts will then have a delicate and most enjoyable flavor. Remember, use as little water as possible.

"To je pravda, zadarmo nikdo nic add..."

1 Hanka si vzpoinnela na s ydou vlastni nedavnou nouzi a teZce vzdychala.

"Sedela jsem aZ do pozchai noci u Florky, sego se tam nekolik ZenskYch a vykladaly, co se ye vat deje, vykladaly."

"Ve jmenu Otec i Syna!" vyktikla nahle Hanka a vyskoeila rovnYma nohama, protote vitr bouchi vratnemi, to se div nerozpadly. S namahou je zase otevrela a pevne podlotila koliky, "Fouka, to, ale vitr je nejakY teply. . aby zas neprines1 deSt'!" ted' se viiz v poll zarezava az po napravy."

"Bude elm krmit prasnici, a kravam do piti taky zbude. . ."

Ale Hanka jako by nesly'Aela, premYSlela, jak by se dostala nejbezpeeneji k otcovkin penezum, a jenom nekdy pohledla skrz vratne ven na stromy, rozmokle a potYkajici se s vichrem. Roztrepena, sina mraena se prevalovala po nebi jako rozha.zene snopi. Vitr se porad jeSte vzmahal, foukal jaksi doSky na chalupe se jetily jako Stetky.

Zirna pritom byla lezava, vlhka a prosycena pachem hnoje, kterY vybirali z hromady. Na dvore bylo skoro prazdno, jenom chvilemi prebihaly rozeepYrene slepice pohanene vetrem„ husy sedely v zavetri pod plotem na housatech tile pipajicich a katdYch nekolik minut prijitdel prudce Petrik s prazdriSrm vozem; objel dokola, zastavil presne proti mla tut, konim hodil name sena, a nalaiv spolu s Vitkem hntj, podpiral vuz na

Nekdy zas pfibehla Joska, vAecka zardela, udychana, zaujata, roznagenim klobasil, neco brebentila.

"Donesla jsem uz fojtovtim, ted' poletim ke strycovi. . . Byli doma, bill• na svatky chalupu, hrozne dekovali. .

Rozpovidala se ze giroka, at se ji nikdo nevyPtaval, a znova letela do vsi, nesouc opatrne misky s vYslutkou, zavazane do bileho gatku.

"To je meihuba, iaba jedna, ale chytra," poznamenala JagustYnka.

"Chytra je, pravda, ale jen na neplechy a zabavy."

"I co chcete.. . valyt' je to jegte ka. . ."

"Vitku, podivej se, kdo to gel do chalupy!" zvolala nahle Hanka.

"Koval:. . . zrovna ted'!

Jata jakousi zlou ptedtuchott betelas Hanka rovnou na otcovu stranu; nemocDS/ bezel jako obyeejne naznak, Jagna cosi gila pod oknem, be svetnici mimo ni nebyl nikdo.

"Kam se podel Michal?"

"Nekde musi byt, hlecla kite od vozu, ktery pry kdysi pujcil Matejovi," vysvetlovala Jagna, ani zvedla oei.

Hanka se podivala do sine; tam kovat nebyl. Podivala se na svou stranu; jenom Bylica sedel s detmi phi ohni a vy •ezaval jim vetrnieky; ba i ye dvote hledala. . po kovati vgak ani pamatky, proto se rovnou vrhla do komory, ac d yehe ptivtene.

Koval tam stal s rukama zabcitenYma az po lokte v obili a pilne je ptehraboval.

"Tak vy myslite, ze schoval ten klid do jedmene, co?" vyktikla cela udYchana, a stanuvgi vyhrutne proti nernu, sotva sipala rozeilenim.

"Divam se, jestli jedmen nezplesnivel a hodi-li se k seti.. ." koktal kovat, takto neddekavane ptistiZen. "Do toho vain nic neni!. . . Co sem lezete?" vyktikla Hanka. Kovaf, ac nerad, vyndal ruce z jeemene a s, tace skryvanYm vztekem zamrueel: "Vy me hlidate jako zlocleje. .

"Jako bych nevedela, proe jste ptigel, co? To se podivejme, do cizi komory leze, bude se hrabat v beekach, nakonec jegte zamky ukrouti a do truhel se bade dobYvat. . . co?" ktidela stale hlasiteji.

"Copak jsem yam veera: netikal, co musimc hledat?. . ."

Koval: s.e pternahal, jen aby nedo glo k scenam.

"Vykladal jste mi kdovijake vYmysly, abyste mi pisku do oei nasypal, a zatim si jdete za svYm. Prohledla jsem uz vase iimysly, uz jsem je prohledla ."

"Hanko, zavti hubu, nebo ti plies ni

"Zkus to, lupiei jeden! Jen se me dotkni a ja spustiin takovy ktik, '2e se pub vsi sebehne. . . v gechni uvidi, co jsi za ptadka!" hrozila.

Koval. se rozhledl po stenach, ustoupil, ale klel ptitorn jako pohan.

Pohledli si do oei tak zblizka, ze kdyby mobil, na smrt by se byli pobili tend planoucimi zraky.

Hanka se musila jit napit vody a dlouho se nemohla z toho vzru geni vzpamatov at.

"Musim je najit a bezpetne schovatkdyby na no padl, ukradne je," ptemYglela pl.i navratu do stodoly; nahle se z pith testy vratila.

"Sedig v chalupe, hlida g a ciziho eloveka pustig do komory!" ktikla na Jagnu rovnou ye dvefich.

"Michal neni cizi; ma zde zrovna tolik prava jako vy!" Jagna se jejiho ktiku nelekla.

"8tekaZ jako pes, protole ses s nim smluvila, ale pamatuj, ze jestli se neco z chalupy ztrati, jak je Bah nade mnou, udam to u soudu! Tebe taky udam, ze jsi pomahala. . . Pamatuj si to!. . ." jecela Hanka divoce.

Jagna vyskoeila a popadla, co ji do ruky ptiglo.

"Ty se chce g bit! Tak pojd'! Zkus to jenom, ja ti tu tvou dinanou pusinku zi'idim, ze ti na ni dervena vyskodi. . vlastni matka to nepoznal. . .

Hanka avolavala v gecky hromy a 1th-dela, co ji slina a zlost na jazyk ptinesly.

Kdo vi, jak by to bylo dopadlo — se proti sobe eepytily a ptistupovaly ke sobe bli6 a bliZ — kdyby nebylo Rocha, ktery prave v tu chvili vstoupil, take Hanka, zahanbena jeho pohledem, trochu zchladla, zmlkla a jenom dvetnii beze slova bouchla.

Jagna ziistala ve svetnici; nemohla se ohromenim ani hnout... rty se ji tfasly jako v hOreece, srdce busilo, sizy jako hrachy se ji kutalely po tvatich. Nakonee se piece jen vzpamatovala; odhodila do kouta mandlovatku, kterou svirala v ruce, a rorttesena se vrhla na postel v bolestnem, neutuchajicim plaei.

Hanka zatim vypravovala Rochovi, oe

a

Roch trpelive poslouchal nesouvisle vypravdVani, pterYvand platern, a nemohl si z neho nic Vybrat. Nakonec ji kratce pteru gil, zatal ji ptisne plisnit, odstreil dokonce i podavand jidlo a yelice rozhnevan sahal po eapce.

"KdyZ jste takovi, pak mi nezbYval, neZ abych S'el do sveta a vickrat o Lipce ani nezavadil. To vSecko debate pro radost d'ablovi a pohantun, kteti si tropi smich ze svarti ktest'anskeho lidu! Jeli gi muj milosrdny, jako by bylo malo negtesti,

Roch se ph to feei zadychal. Hanku pojala takova litost a strach, aby rozhnevam neod6e1, ze mu polibila ruku a z celeho srdce ho odproZovala.

"Kdybyste jen vedel, jak tako je s ni vydrkt, vSechno naschval a na Skodu 61oveku dela! ZUstava tu piece jen k naai . . ma tolik pozemkti pkipsano.

Copak nevite, jaka je?. . . Co vkcko provadela se svobodnYmi.. . jaka.. ." — Ne, nemohla se zminit o Antkovi. .. nyni pry se uZ zase s fojtem schazi. dodala tiseji. "JakYpak div, ze to y e mne vie... kdy2 se na. ni podivam, hued bych ji ookna- probodla. .."

"Pomstu nechte Rospodinu! I ona je elovek a cal kkivdu, a za sve hiichy Buda sanTa odpovidat. kkam vain, new bliZujte ji!"

"Copak ja'ji ubliZuji?"

Hanka se velmi divila, protoZ" nedove7 dla pochopit, v km se Jagne deje k •ivda.

Roch ukusoval chleba, pritom ji sle7 doval ()alma a o neeem uvakval; nakonec pohladil hlavieky deti, ktere se mu tulily ke kolenum, a mel se k odchodu.

"Zastavhn se u vas nekterY weer. ted' yam ieknu jenom tolik: Nechte ji bYt, delejte si sve a ostatni spravi Pan BUIL . ."

Dal kkest'anske pcezdraveni a odekl do vsi.

Piave tento etvrtY etvrtek v listopadu je ureen za den, kdy maji vzdavati diky Nej y ySSimu za jeho polehnani. Dfileatou easti oslav jsou ovSem i posvicenske radovanky: tradieni slavnostni obed, hry a jine zabavy.

Vzdavani dike za plody zeme je zvykem tak starYm, jak stare jsou dejiny lidstva.

Tento zvyk stal se jednou z prvnich traprenesenYch na ptidu Noveho sveta.

Maid skupina osadniku, ktera slavila prvni americke dikit yzdani roku 1621, nechovala vSak ve svem srdci vdeenost toliko za bohatou Urodu, i kdy2 tato byla pro ne otazkou existence.

Tito mu2i a Zeny, zvouci se pro sve nabo2enske presvedeeni Poutniky, opustili sve domovy ye Starem svete, aby hledali nabo2enskou svobodu. Odhodlali se k ccste do neprozkotimane divoeiny, kde doufali si domov, v nem2 by moh]i uctivati Boha podle sveho presvedeeni.

Behem jedineho svizelneho roku podlehla ntrapain vice neZli polovina 'Leto skupiny 102 mun, Zen a deti. Zbytek zustaval vS"ak stale jeSte pi.esvedeen, 2e Bah po2ehna jejich usili Ziti ye svobode. Prvni guverner kolonie Plymouth, William Bradford, vydal prohlaSeni, jim2 oddeloval jiste obdobi na oslavy, pri nich2 . meli Poutnici vzclavati Nej yyMimu dik za lainotne a duchovni dobrodini.

Zeny upravily rilzne pochoutky z ovoce a zeleniz jejich drift datuji se "pumpkin pie" kukurienY nakyp, ktere stale jeSte stavaj:i easti ispravneho posvicenokeho obeda.

Tato prvni oslava protahla se na tri day. Doprovazely ji modlitby, zpivani nabe2enskYch pisni, hodovani a hry s mirunailovnYmi Indiany, kteri byli k oslavam pozvani a kteri se jich iteastnili v duchu Tyto tradice zetstavaji ste2ejnYm bodem i vkch oslav dne'Snich.

Prvni narodni den vzdavani dike byl stanoven na 26. listopad 1789 Washingtoncin. Od to doby slavilo podobny den stale vice statu, ale narodu, jako celku, bylo eekati vice neZli puldruheho stoleti Ila prvni den, ktcrY byl priznane dnem celonarodniho vzdavani dike za hmotnY Llallobyt a za svobodu, zdedenou po Stalo se tak roku 1941. kdy kongres tired etvrtY etvrtek v listopadu za Den dikavzdani.
