KDY ZAt A DTO JE SKUTECNY PBTPADT VSechno je pravdive. Zamleuji pouze jmeno elena a misto jeho bydleni. Jinak roznaluva mezi nami a vSechny- okolnosti jsou popsany tak, jak se prihodily.

Odpovedel, Ze ano, ale Ze dochazi na jmeno manZelky. Vedel jsem, Ze jeho otec je Urednikem mistniho radu v jinem miste, znal jsem dobre jeho otce i matku, znal jsern teZ jednoho z jeho bratrti jako snaZiveho mistniho organisatora, proto byl jsem prekvapen jeho sdelenim, Ze on sam neni elenem SPJST. Vysvetlil mi, Ze odchodern z dornova, dokud byl svobodnY, prizapomnelo se na nej, aby byl prihlaSen do mistniho kam path jeho rodiee, jeho tri bratti a dve sestry, jeho strYcove a tetieky. Poznamenal, Ze vSichni jsou eleny, jen on Ze se nekdy citi jako eerna ovce. Pral si pry nekolikrat prihlasit se, nebo se preptat sveho bratra, kolik by ho pojiSteni u SPJST stalo. Ale kdyZ bydli jinde a malokdy se dostane do sveho rodiSte, vec se rok po roku odklada. Kdyby mohl pHstoupit k nekteremu blizsimu radu SP JST, tak by to udelal, ae Zivotniho pojiAteni ma dosti hodne. Ale chtel by bYt elenem ti proto, ge jsou eleny rodiee, Zeha, bratti a sestry.

VYsledek byl, Ze si sam vybral 151etou nadaeni v obnosu pet tisic. V onom myslovem meste neni mistni rad SPJST, proto se prihla.sil k radu v Houstonu. Jako proziravY mu g s dobrym vzdelannn chtel miti vSechno vysvetleno. Byl jsem prekvapen, jake vysoke pojiSteni ma u jinYch obchodnich spoleenosti.

Prave jsem zaoal psati tyto eve ni iivahy, kdyZ zvonil telefon. Bratr Rudy Se-1'64k nine oznamoval, reditel teho distriktu a take predseda distriktu, bratr Joe M. Skrabanek, naleza se v nemocnici, kde podstoupil teZkou a vaZnou operaci. Ze se jedna o va.'2nY pripad moZ"no posoudit ze zakazu lekarii, aby Zadna navSleva nebyla na nekolik than priputena.

Moje prvnii siova po vyslechnuti zpravy bratra Sefeika byla: "A kdo za neho pojede do schtize tretiho distriktu do Fort Worth?" Vedel jsem, ze bratr Skrabanek planoval jeti na onu schtizi se svou manZelkou a teZ s nekterYm jinYm triktnim firednikem. Zavod rnezi 'brea pat5on distriktem byl, ukoneen a vYsledek jiste bude oznamen IT one senazi. Mluvili jsme o zajezclu do Fort Worth nekolikrat, posledne v nedeli 4. prosince, kdy Z - brat* Skrobanek doprovazel houstonske ochotniky jejich zajezdu k sehrani divaidla v Fast Bernard u raclu Karel Jo-naS cislo 28. Nedomluvili jsme se.

A kdyby se tak stab, ted' stejne plamy musime pozinenit. ' krabanka je opet Onemocneni bratra S vYstrahou, na kterou stale upozornuji.

My planujeme budoucnost rodin,

by Zivitel deti nahle odekl, ale my neplanujerne budoucnost SPJST. Nyni, kclyZ" si bratr Skrabanek poleli nekolik nedel. vime, kdo v patem distriktu bude zastavat jeho misto. Ale kdo by zastal reditele Frank Roda v S'estem distriktu. kde nahradnika nemaji? Kdo by zastal reditele Alfredo. C. Stepana v distriktu prvnim, kclYZ by reditel prvniho distriktu onemocnel? Ale to neni v'Sechno. vek vZ'dy mysli sam na sebe, i kdyby zisse to tYkalo vice zodpovednosti ku. Co v mem pripadu? Mate nekoho, kdo by sednul k menu stroji, sahnol rnYch papirU a zaznarnfr, na,vazal tam, kde jsem prestal, jakoby se nic nestalo?

Priznam se. ze main dva eleny vyhlidnute, ale ani jeden, ani druhY o tom nevedi. MoZna. Z',e, by se do podobne prace nechteli zaprahnout.

Kmiec nekdo rek Ie, ze rids spolek by snad mohl existovat i bez redaktora. Dobra, dobra, redaktor tedy nernusi hl't. Je zbyteenY—pro nekoho. Ale ylerne ke stolku tech iniednika, kteCi nejsou zbyteenosti, kteri jsou pro SPJST nutnosti. Zaenerne u toho nevyNiho, ti priedsedy. IVIOe fines nits predseda rici,Ze bride s naini jeae do sjezdu?

CINNOSTI DOMACICII RADU Tad San Antonio ,e'islo 133 San Antonio, Texas Sestry a bratill NeZ uplyne tento rok, kterY nam innoho dobreho neprinesl, rada bych omadmila, jak pokraeujerne zde v San Antoniu v praci s na g mladdi a jake plany jsme si udelali do budoucna. Mimo kratkYch prilelitostnYch detskYch taneekft na napey CeskYch narodnich pisni nautili jsme se ji.Z dve nak narodni besedy, Oeskou 1 mora yskou a proto pranim v gech bylo naueiti se i to treti besed y, Ceskoslovenske. Je to na g e nejmlad g narodni beseda sestavend Hanou Burgero you-Duboyou, k niz hudbu sloZil Alois Aust. Ceskoslovenska narodni beseda byla provedena po prve na "Besedo narodnich pisni a tancd' v Sokole v Praze-ZiZkove dne 14. brezna 1936. Na rozdil od besedy Ceske a mora yske. Ceskoslovenska, narodni beseda ma pouze easti (tury). Prva je sloZena z pisni eeskYcti, druha z pisni morayskYch a slerskYch a treti z pisni slovenskYch. Tanei se rovneZ v kolonach po etyrech parech a s y Ym usporadanim nam pripomina hodne svoje d ye hodne stark sestry. Celkove provedeni je vsak z prvktl modernej geb. Horgi ovkm bylo, Ze jsem pro tuto besedu nemela ani vod, ani hudbu. Bez toho nelze nacviCovat a prcto bylo nano patrat kde by se nee() podobneho na g lo. Zdej gi hudebni nakladatelstvi odpovedela zaporne a v 6eskoslovensku, kde tato novinka byla vzata z volneho trhu, nevi to k dostani.

Nakonce prece v gak podatilo se mi sehnati.

Sta.la jsem vsak pied jinYm vUnYm problemem, toti2 jak vliodne zamestnat kdy2 se jich nese:go tolik, aby se utvorilo cele kolo pro besedu. Pro detske taneeky byly jiZ velike, proto jsem promYSlela. o torn, ze bylo by nejlepe nacviMt s mini nee° po zpOsobu ,sokolskYch cviecni pri hudbe, jak, se provadelo a bylo velnii oblibeno v Cleskosiovensku. Po dlouhem uvaZovani rekla jsem si, Ze v tom inohla by mi °pet poradit jedine sestra Bolena, Valeikova z Dallasu, ktera jako znama narodni pracovnice vi o vgem moZnem a ma. styky s velmi vlivnYmi lidmi daleko gireko. Skuteene jsem se nen-1YMa. Za nekolik dni odepsala mi sestra Valeikova, ';,;e‘ potrebne (cvieeni pro chlapce i evieeni pro divky) sehnaia a 0, take odesiala. Stalo se tak zasluhou sekolske jeclnoty "ZiZka" v Dallasu, kterejak, navod tak i hudbu pro tato cviConi ochotne zanUjeila. Jsem velice rada a jak Sokolu "ZiZka" v Dallasu, tak I sestry Bolene Valeikove, kterd vSe zprostredkovala, dekuji za pochopeni, dobrou \full a zapujeeni.

S detmi zaeli jsme nacvieovati lined v zari na zaeatku §kolniho roku. PonevadZ pro inaz na leve noze nemohla jsem se tanci venovati a ye snaze vyhoveti prani deti naueit se i nekterYrn americkYin tanctim, ujal se ochotne vgeho bratr Frank Parma a naueil deti i dospele nekolika peknYm z ylaSt' llbivYrn tanctlffi z americkeho "Squaredance".

Mame ale stale rUzne potiZe, ktere nam brani v torn, abychom se rnohli na g i praci venovati lope, 'hiavne, aby nas bylo vice. Jsou to predevSirn rtizne soukrome zalelitosti jednotlivca a pak vgelijake prcgramy skohli, ktere brain detem v dochazce k nam. A ponevad2 nejdou deti, neprijclou ani dospeli, tak'Ze pr] nejlep gi vuli nelze itspe gne pokraeo-vati. Zmenili jsme liZ i dny pavodne stanovene, ale ani to nepomohlo. Posledne, ✓ patek 25. listopadu, prikl pouze bratr Ed. Holly se s yYmi vnuekami, Tarou Lee a Lenou Rey BurginovYmi a Wm. J. Mares s manZelkou a dceru gkami Billy May a Patricii. To, prirozene, bylo velmi malo a proto se vdbec netaneilo. Manse pro nas vyhraZeny pouze dva patky v mesici; tento mesic, pcnevad2 jsou vanoce, nebudeme mit opet Zadnou Cinnost a po novera rote, i kdyZ" by jich pri§lo vice, mam velikou obavu, 'Ze se tomu jf2 nenauCirne. Dochazka musela by Wit pravidel• nikdo nesmel by vynechati ani jedinY yeeer a to, dle dosavadnich zku genosti, asi nedoka2eme. Lituji toho velice; byla bych totiZ" rada predvedla tuto novon besedu na priaim Majales v Austinu, pochybuji vsak, Le se mi to podari.

Nechc.i se vsak nadeje vzdat 'Zivam proto teto prilentosti a 'Zadamvechny rodiee, aby poslali svoje deti a take sami aby pil-1111 mezi nas, abychom se nautili tomu peknernu narodnimu tanci a na slavnosti 1Vilajale§ v Austinu ✓ kyetnu prigtiho roku skutkem dokazali na g dobrou vtirii a lasku k naim krasnYm CeskYrn narodnim tandun. Vitali o nekom, kdo ma zajem o tanec, ho laskave. Neni to snad jen pro eleny SPJST, je to pro fSechny krajany a nose pratele zde v San Antoniu a imlne zdarma. Schazime se ka2dS7 druhY a etvrtY patek v mesici v budove International Institute, 515 N. Pecos Street, a nacvieujeme od 7:30 o 9:30 veCer. Wecliny vas srdeCne zvu a t6iin se, M nam vy;oornn2ete.

Bratre redaktore, Tobe je znamo, Ze Catholic Slovak Ladies, Union ma solvence 140.82%; The Ukranian National Association ma 127.2%; a dve texaske jednoty, jedna ma pies 150% a druha 160%.

Ta rakouska vlada se umeta n-oc mstit. Taky pronasledovala nejakeho Stara. Ten se za.staval chudeho ,,,lo-venskeho lidu. I Bo'Kerie Nerncove delali zle. To byla ta krasno, pan!, co o ni napsal moc pokily roman ten knez J. S. Bear.

TO, za ty dloune roky Cloy& pomalu zapomina, co slYchal od starchlidi. Ale pravil mi synovec, Ce do na geho tadu prigel jistY dopis. On rikal, Ze dle jeho rozumu, ti, co to psali. mail pravdu. KclyC, mne to vypovedel, toll ono je to spravne.

Jsem Cloy& nestrannY. Uctu mam pro kaZdeho, kdo je poctivY a pracovitY. On bude spravedlivY ton i dobTY soused. I kdyZ je Zid, Turek nebo eMan, ba i eernoch. Je a bude svedomitY ()bean Spoje,

Takova plemena jsou i mezi krest'any opovrhovand. Vgak i u nas je jeSte hodne lid!, co nenavidi eerne ye SpojenYch statech. A i a ye spolubliZni. KdyZ june o tom hovorili, synovec. co studuje historii v gech lidi na svete, tekl, Ce AmeriCani ani nevedi, za co v gechno mame clekovat tem proziravYm lidem, co sestavili tu americkou konstituci. Na tu dobu byli to muZi moc znali sveta a pravdy. Poctivi a nebojacni.ftekl, Ce ten "Bill of Rights" je to zlate pravidlo, co neil sam yelikY ueitel lidstva Kriaitus.

Jak rnne synovec vykladal, pry sana George Washington zkrotil lupiee, co prepaclali na ge lodi na moil, a prinutil lupiee zaplatit SpojeiVni stattim hradu.

ToC ale Vy, bratre redaktore, pored nevite o eem pi gu. 0 tom dopisu. Vim o trech radech, co takovY dopis dostali. Dle toho souditn, ze prijde na v gechny dokola..elenove, to se vi. vet ginou rozhodnou.

Aby nolitika a nabolen.stvi nebyly rnicnane.

Co by se rnelo pamatovat je tote: tu bratrskou, yzajenme podrairnau demokratickou sjednocenost vymyslili si pred sto lety ye SpojenYch statech lide, co nechteli svetske s duchovnim. Pamatuju, Ce se tem spolkarttm pred gedesati a vice roky rikalo neverci. I mfij staSleek pochyboval, Ze by takove buntova.ni bylo k Oemu.

KdyC jsem byla je gte male deveatko, prijel elovek ze stare vlasti, bez v geho rodinu nemel. Bez penez prijel do ciziny. K tomu mil hned chatrne zdravi, tedy nebyldloul o prdee schopny. Mojd rodiee tez tak piisli s prazdnymi rukarna, jak jiz jsem, jednoti easteene jejich svizele a teZkosti popsala„ Proto meli srdce otevrene pro ositele postiZene.

Rodiee ho opatrovali, lekar prijiZdel, pebylo v ten eas Spitalu ani domova pro takove lidi.

A neZli spustili rakev do zeme Nina, utkvelo mne nekolik slov v pameti, co muj otec rekl: "Neodeprete pristregi tomu, kdo by nemel kde by hlavu sklonil, tak jako tento bratr nemel!"

Tedy, buderne-li stavet fitulnu, postavme ji na takovem zaklade, kterY by nevyjimal Zadneho, ani toho kdo by Menem nebyl. Nevime yhly prieiny, -proc se jim nestal. K tonicjsme s krest'anske strany vg ichni bratri a sestry, jsme to poslani jednim Otcem a zase se k nemu vratimeJ Tak se i modlime "Otte nag "; a kdyZ se k jednomu Otci modlime, tak musime i aby tynrodlitby prinesly ovoce Lasky, vgeho miru a pokoje.

Predseda one Jednoty, John V. Rompotl, pri zahajeni sjezdu poukazal na

Nekolik slov promluvil, objasnil zaeatky jednoty, z ktere se dnes raduje, z pokroku a jejiho vzrfistu, kterST po celYch tech 58 rokfi sledoval.

YOUR ANNUAL MEETING IS OVER. You elected your officers, or re-elected many of them in many cases. You elected your delegates, and those who didn't get enough votes to be delegates , you honored with a consolation prize—you called them alternates or substitutes.

It wasn't done according to the bylaws, but nobody kicks, so it stands. You elected three delegates, because you have 312 members in the adult department, but you overlooked the fact that 23 of those "adults" are really children between ten and sixteen years of age, not entitled to have a voice in the management of your Lodge, and not old enough to have representation. That would leave your Lodge only 289 members and two delegates. But you can pick up the third delegate very easily.

Get busy and secure eleven additional members sixty days before the convention. Better make it twelve new members. Somebody may die.

IF YOU ELECTED A NEW PRESIdent, he will need your co-operation.

To be honest, even your old president will appreciate your effort to make the meetings click. No meeting can be expected to run smoothly unless someone, someplace along the line has planned it that way. Meetings, like busses, trains and airplanes, must operate on realistic timetables. By this remark, I am not telling anything new; I am, only reminding you of some things you know but don't do. So try to be on time. * * IN EVERY GROUP, LARGE OR small, the person who occupies the chair as presiding officer should be the master of the meeting. There are countless things that others can do to help make the meeting click, but the actual conduct of a meeting is the sole responsibility of one individual—the presiding officer. Recently, I was asked about the correct way to address the presiding officer of our lodge meetings. Should it be "Mr. Chairman" or "Mr. President?"

Neither. Start with "Brother. )1' Then choose one or the other title. It doesn't matter. If you refer to him as an officer of your Lodge, "Brother President" would, be correct. But if you are

I believe in punctuality. We should not DON'T IMAGINE THAT THE PRE- waste a lot of precious time waiting for siding officer is merely an honorary other people. We cannot re-make the figure.

BUY NOW ?AY LATER Main Street, Anytown, U.S.A., is a big wide, wonderful world where anybody gets what he wants--on easy credit. It is a treasure lane where clothes, furniture, stoves, refrigerators, radios, television sets, automobiles, houses, vacation trips, and practically everything except hospital care can be bought on credit.

Buy now pay later is the slogan up and down the Main Street, Commerce Avenue and all the parallel and cross streets and avenues. It is the section of town that enc.otirages credit in competitive fight for business. It is a place where young people are slicing up and dividing up their weekly wages, mixing MOO cash with plenty of credit and happily--at least for the time being— in a dream world far beyond the dreams of their parents, and achieving a standard of living which is the envy of the people in other countries.

Let us look a bit closer at the easy credit of a young couple. Let us call them Jim and Helen and their two sons.

Their names? It doesn't matter, they are your neighbors, the Delaneys, a very congenial neighbor. They seem to have everything. Surely, they buy on credit. they managing their, debts?

Let's stop and see.

They were married nine years ago, right after Jim was discharged from the navy. He came home with $900 cash and a $150 diamond ring in ins pocket, an enough blarney to convince Helen that she should marry him.

Jim earns $72,25 a week, which is close to the average pay earned by American workers. He drives his car into the nearby city five days a week. He works in the office of a large firm, where he superviSes stocks and equipment, and makes himself generally useful.

The Delaney home is an asbestosshingle house Jim bought last year on a GI loan, paying $1,250 down and assuming a .$10,300, 4 per cent, 25-year mortgage. He and Helen managed to save the down payment during the five years Helen worked in a department store.

Helen, a pretty brunette, is a neat as a pin housekeeper. She studied home economics in high school, and makes most of the clothes for herself and the children. She turned out the curtains and drapes on her own sewing machine, for which Jim paid $144, on time.

The Delaney car is a 1952 Chevrolet sedan ($800 down and $67 a :month— and it's paid for now, because Helen

THE iNDIViDUAL RESP

The many well-tended cemeteries which dot the islands of the Pacific are filled with rows of white crosses and Stars of David. Here lie men who loved America because generations ago their ancestors had a hand in her founding. Interspersed with them are men who loved America because they themselves, or their parents, came to her shores' in recent years to escape oppression abroad. Here are interred, side by side, officers and men, the wealthy • and the poor. Here lie Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and atheists. In this hallowed ground no man is hated because of his faith.

The dead do not practice discrimination. There is no religious intolerance in the cemeteries. There is only democracy in its highest and purest form.

But what of the living?

Each edition of the press carries new examples of man's inability to live in peace with his fellow men, of man's inhumanity to man. In some sections of the world, armed conflict is the order of the day. Throughout the rest of the world fear and unrest prevent the realization of the peace and tranquillity for which these men fought.

Even here in our own country there is no real peace, there is no real brotherhood of man. There are still those who hate the Jews, those who abhor the Protestants and those who ridicule the Catholics.

These men, who have not learned the lessons of tolerance—these men who deny the rights of an American citizen to another man because of religion— are, by their very acts of Intolerance, dishonoring our wounded and disgracing our dead. They are negating the principle,s for which our sons and brothers, fought. They are spreading the germs of the only disease which can stifle the life of this country.

Our American way of life was built on the premise of freedom and equality for all men. Every time an American act to restrict that freedom, or violate that equality, he is striking a blow at the very foundations of our country. It is true that it may be only a small blow, but nevertheless it weakens the structural whole. A succession Of these small blows, repeated in everincreasing numbers, will eventually )hatter the cornerstone and bring the whole structure of democracy tumbling down about our heads.

We simply do not face facts squarely or use plain reasons and common sense.

We have too many leaders with a flexible conscience. What is more, we seem

TY

to haye lost the power om moral indignation which in the past compelled our leaders to speak and act with sincerity.

Closely as:!3c1:: te.1 dais is the :shocking indn'terence to ciiiplest and• most ellemei . of the good life and the society, selfreliance, the etignity , honor of the pledged word, plain_ ,uking, insistence upon the elem standards of justice a s to demonstrate good faith, and iratani to confidence by action.

'We clamor for privil,• . !tuft rights and we avoid our cies r i.onsibilities, the responsibilities of each one to meet the problems of his own sph.cr squarely and fully. When each bril of the house does not hold up its share of the weight, the whole house is endangered.

And so we come back to the point where I started this discourse—to the fundamental importance of individual respOnsibility in the solution of the basic problems of human relations, and to the precepts of your college.

The problems of our times are real and they cut deep.

But they are by no Means insoluble.

An awareness of the problems is in fact one stop -toward their soltition.

I am reminded of Ralph Waldo Emerson's Observation, written more than a century ago: "This time, like all other times, is a very good one if we but know what to do with it."

This is an enduring solace. There is the challenge.

There is our individual responsibility.

As a nation we have ooruiuered our geographical frontiers, but we have failed miserably in solving the all-important problems of human relationship.

Herein hies the future c she world, iidual understanding 0., each other, employer and employee cooperation. racial tolerance, nations and individaals understanding the problems of eacn ether, and sitting down at a table with sympathetic and determination to make an enduring peace both internationally and in their daily internal problems.

When the day finally arrives when there is no need to observe brotherhood day anywhere in the world, because all men are brothers every dny—then and only then, our efforts will neve achieved then fullest measure Of success. a7a 43, ( Nothing makes some people laugh a new set of teeth.

GIVE UP OR KEEP UP! When a man speaks of "giving up his policy," makeitquite plain to him that policy is something much more than being "given up."

For example, he may be -giving up a home fora widow-his widow.

-giving up decent and adequate food, shelter and clothing for helpless children-his children.

--giving up the last two or three years in high school for a boy or girl--his boy or girl.

-giving up a mother's companionship with her children, and the lifelong benefit the children themselves receive from this companionship.

When a man realizes what it means to "give up" a policy, the chances and that instead he'll keep it up!

TAX MONEY FOR PRIVATE SCHC Taxpayers may find themselves helping to support private schools. It is a national problem. The pressure to give aid to private schools comes from two sources, as reported in an article in the U. S. News and WOrld Report, December 2, .1955. The article reports, in part, as follows: The idea of using tax money to aid private schools is being advanced at this time from two directions.

In Virginia, leading the way for several Southern States, it is proposed that the state pay tuition of pupils who attend segregated private schools. The objective is to avoid mixing whites and Negroes in public schools.

At the same time, 208 cardinals, arch' bishops and bishops of the Roman Catholic Church are propoSing that nonpublic schools, including church-related schools, should share in any aid that is given by the Federal Government to public schools. The right to aid is based on the broad premise that all children, not just children in the public schools, are entitled to any grants that would promote their health, welfare and sofety.

The whole question of education, its cost and direction is moving into the front of national problems. Two thousand educators, assembled in a White Reuse conference on Education, are trying to find some of the answers to the problems of providing teachers and buildings for the 36.7 million children crowding the nation's schools. /Finance stands near the top of these difficulties. Private school's, without the powet to tax, find this trouble particularly acute. Among the private schools, those operated by the Roman Catholic Church are the largest. They face a task of providing buildings and teachers for a child population that is rapidly growing. Under the tenets of the Church, these children must go to church schools whenever possible.

vate schools, the private school population will skyrocket. But, in the South, such school systems would be supported, at least indirectly, by state and local tax funds.

The Catholic contends that his church school educates and prepares children for citizenship, and that, on this basis, it is entitled to help from state and federal funds on somewhat the same basis ( as the public school. This view is sketched clearly by many Roman Catholic authorities.

A constitutional and legal barrier, however, stands between this view and access to public moneys. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution has been held to prohibit aid to sectarian schools. Specific prohibitions against giving such aid are written into the constitutions and laws of trost of the states.

These prohibitions held firmly as a ban until fairly recently. Up until 1930, about the only thing that church schools had won from the courts was recognition of a right to exist. A contract to send Indians to a Catholic school had been recognized. Oregon had been told that parents might not be compelled to send their children to public schools, but might send them to private schools instead.

The first real break was a ruling in 1930 that it was legal for a state to provide free textbooks to children in private schools. This practice began with Louisiana and his spread to Mississippi, New Mexico, Kansas and West Virginia.

In this school year, there are almost Rye million pupils in private elementary and secondary schools. Of this total, from 85 to 90 per cent, or about four million, are in Roman Catholic schools. Upward of 100,000 children are in denominational schools operated by Lutheran, Adventist and Mennonite groups. Most of the remainder are in nondenominational schools that are run for profit, including military schools, preparatory schools and kindergartens.

Most Protestants seem to prefer to send their children to public school systems.

If Southern schools go through with their plans to shift from public to pri-

In the meantime, another practice had been established. In 1938, President Roosevelt's Advisory Committee on Education recommended that any federal aid provided for reading materials, transportation, health and scholarships should go to all children, regardless of whether they were in public or private schools. There was nothing binding about the recommendation, but something like this pattern came into being with respect to federal aid.

Following this pattern, virtually the The reason many a person has bitter same health and welfare services now are provided for parochial and other thoughts is that he lets the -epercolate private school children, in most states, through his prejudices.

Seventeen years later, the courts broadened the degree of public help that may be given to church and other nonpublic schools. They ruled that public money might be used to provide bus transportation for children going to parochial schools. The case came from New Jersey.

as are given to public school children..

Similarly, federal funds that e .o into the school lunch program p pJvide for pupils in private schools as well as public ones. Four states and the District of Columbia provide public funds, in the form of school lunch money over and above the federal program, to pupils in both private and public schools.

That is the way things stand now.

The Catholics' position, as sl'etched by various authorities, is that they want for their schools every 'aia that the courts have held to be legal. One authority speaks of the "preSent in term .etations of the U. S. Constitution," and infers that, as there have been differing interpretations in the pa4, there will be other changes in the %Aare.

This source says that the various prohibitions in state constitutions and laws against giving state tax money to church schools are "unnt et and discriminatory because they arbitrarily deny tax aid to schools which, like the public schools, prepare children for the responsibilities of American citizenship."

"It may have been possible to ignore us once when there were' not many of us in the United States," says one Catholic churchman. "But now we are 30 million people and we must be heard," )*" IATIVIIGRATION AND N:',."1:7 151ZALIZATION Question: My grandmother came to the United States in 1910 and has lived here ever since. She has never become an American citizen, but would now like to apply for naturalization. However, she doesn't speak English too well and is afraid she will not pass the language examination. Since she is in her seventies, she feels she is too old to study English. Is there any way in which she can become a citizen?

Answer: Yes. While generally applicants for citizenship must pass an English language examination; all aliens who were over 50 years old on December 24, 1952, and who, on that date, had lived in the United States for a total of at least twenty years can become citizens without having to under-, stand, read or write the English language. Your grandmother will be asked some simple questions about the funda-, mentals of American history and government, but her examination will be conducted in any language , :)e chooses. )â&#x20AC;˘

YOU CAN LIVE LONGER You can live longer than you think you can. The statisticians may predict a life span of 65 years for you. The doctors may set a time limit on you.

But you can fool them all. How? Simply by wanting to live.

Only recently, scientists have recognized what many people have long known: the will to live can override all but the final death sentence. The hospital patient's chart may show that death is approaching, but if he tells the nurse each morning that he will soon be out, he may be a good bet to fool the chart. The one who eases his grasp on the strands of life and sinks gratefully into the escape of illness may very well bring on his own death unintentionally despite all that science can do.

Doctors now know that emotional upsets can make you sick, and conversely, that emotional health can keen you well, or at least help your body combat illness. Happiness, cheerfulness, fun, and love can help you into a comfortable old ago. `taturally , not all illnesses have an emotional cause. But some people come down with the "bugs" that float around whereas others equally exposed escape.

And some people survive illnesses that ill others. eie are eight ways by which you can 1 ve longer, and get more out of life.

1. Quit worrying about your health.

If tension has already given you chronic fatigue, depression, vague aches and pains or even more serious symptoms, don't stay away from the doctor's office for fear of his diagnosis. Have a ic1:11 checkup, and if it reveals no serious organic difficulty, accept the verdict sensibly and gratefully.

2. Have fun. Play is perhaps the soundest and safest way we have working off aggression. When you swat a golf or tennis ball, you don't feel quite so much like taking a swat at 'your wife, your children, or your boss.

It is a -way, too, of working off your competitive urge. If you win a game of bridge, you feel good. But if you lose, you can always say "Oh, well, it's only a game." Always remember that the definition of true play is "a pleasurable activity in which the means is more important than the end." Otherwise, it would be work. ryone, by now, must realize that vacations are essential to recreate mail. or woman weary of the daily grind.

But we too often nullify their effects by making our vacations more work than fun. We go too far and do too much, we spend too much money and

worry about it, we fret about undone chores and need ceaseless activity to forget them. Make your vacation truly pleasurable.

3. Enjoy work, but don't live solely for it. Everyone needs work to be content. But it is a mistake to make it the be-all and end-all of existence. Sooner or later, the time comes when men retire and children leave home. Then the bottom can drop out of everything, leaving no incentive for living. You need, of course, to hit the happy medium: satisfying work you enjoy but which does not enslave you.

4. Conquer your work jitters. You may have to worry about your job, whether it involve bossing 100 men or raising a couple of kids, but don't make a federal case out of every problem.

To master v.-zek nerves, try these tricks. Learn to be decisive. Delegate those jobs you can, put tiny details in their proper perspective, and prevent worrisome pile-ups by getting jobs done on time. Quit fretting over minor crises.

Most of them will be forgotten next week, anyway.

5. Keep life simple. Striving for the unnecessary trimmings of life can make you old before your time. Learn to be satisfied with your lot. Quit wanting so much. Your situation isn't so bad as that of many, though it is almost sure to be worse than some. And if things are so all-fired bad that you cannot be content, stop moping, and do something about them. There is usually an escape if you energies aren't completely used up in empty rebellion and self-pity.

6. Make I e most out of right . now.

Enjoy eac'-, moment, psychologists say, nod co-- - eee it for cheerful aspects. Man hope and dream, but emo,,ially he cannot stand brooding over his dreams.

Those nasty little moments of depression or disappointment can be gotten thrOugh by a dream of better things to come, but in the long run you will avoid more nasty moments and keep yourself fit to meet the really rough going by developing an attitude of calmness and courage—right now.

7. Make family life mutually enjoyable. Home is for morale. It should inspire confidence and foster the ability to make the best of things. To estabh an atmosphere there must be mutual affection, equality, and kindly che.erfulness. Discipline is needed, but it should be administered pleasantly.

More Important, there should be a feeling that the family is an enterprise in which everyone takes part.

8. Don't blow your top. No matter what you have heard about the value of blowing off steam, it is destructive. It is almost sure to wreck something. In the wreckage may be a potentially pleasant experience, a. human relationship that you learn tco late is important to you, or even a slice off your life span. ) • 46 • t

Dfi. R. L. SKRABANEK College Station, TeXas Dr. Robert L. Skrabanek, was among five faculty members of Texas A. and M. College who were given distinguished achievement awards of $500 each Tuesday.

The award, established by the Association of Former Students, went to Skrabanek, Travis J. Parker, Fred E. Eckfeldt, Wayne C. Hall and Walton D. Hardes try.

Dr. H. L. Skrabanek has been a lifelong member of the SPJST, his membership being in the Snook Lodge. His father is Mr. John T. Skrabanek, who has been very active in lodge activities for a number of years, and I am pretty sure that you would know him.

We feel really proud of Dr. Skrabanek, since this is the first time that these awards were given. You will perhaps recall that in 1952-53, he was named "Outstanding Professor in the School of Agriculture at Texas A and M College.

Our sincere congratulations to Dr. Skrabanek.

`JEMt NECO 0 STANOVACH Ve Vestniku eislo 48 v oasti "Na gim elenum od redaktora " je nee°, co upoutalo moji pozornost a co; jak se lidove mi kaplo do noty. Redaktor, bratr Valeik, podava nam svilj nazor na zcela nove usporadani naS'ich stanov, coZ velmi vitam a s jeho my:Slenkou pine souhlasim. Ne proto, Ze to napsal bratr Valeik, ale proto, Ze o neeem podobnem jsem jiZ uvaZoval drive, jelika s havrZenYm zpUsobem frpravy stanov setkal jsem se ji2 y e stare vlasti, a to nejen u spoikti (at' uz jejich poslani bylo jakekoliv), nYbrZ u soukromYch a verejnYch podnikti, ba do jiste miry podobnY zpirsob byl teZ zaveden i u statnich firadti pri zpracovani sluZebnich predpisti. Sdilim pine nazor, Ze na§e stanovy jsou pulls obsahle„ rozvldene, Ze obsahuji podrobnosti, ktere by patrily jinam a Ze stalYna pridavanim novVeh dodatkU, eernuZ se nelze vyhnouti. stavaji se, objemnYmi a tim, pochopitelne, neprehlednYmi. Pak pri eteni takevYch stanov marine dojem, Ze jsou to nejaka provadeci ustanoveni nebo pracovni rovvrh k °snow:, neb zakladnim proVe stanovach ma bYti co nejstrueneji vyznaCen puvod (utvore.ni) to ktere pra y -nickeosby(lgarptin),fekremu slouZi a pak kostra spravne administrativni pfisobnosti. Snad by staeilo rozdeliti cele stanovy dokonce pouze na tri easti. V na:Sem pribade, jak redaktor uvedl, v prvni Cast bylo by otiSteno to, Co je ye vYsadni listine, ktera se nemeni a kde je vSe, co se tYka zaloleni, trvani a poslani Jednoty. Pokud jde o vnitrni usporadani SPJST; staeilo by pine, aby byly uvedeny hlavni veci a pouze heslovito. Ve'Skere podrobnosti, zejmena co do povinnosti jednotlivYch htednikh, mohly by - bYti zpracovany Hlavni firadovnou oddelene na podklade skuteene potreby a sjezdem pouze schvaleny. Tu pra.vomoc bychom Hlavni irradovne mohli chat riZ proto, Ze ide eiste o freelnou a potrebam vYhoVujici delbu prate. DalAi east mobla by bYti venovena organisaenimu rozdeleni a ustanovenim razu vice merle trvaleho; a koneene treti east mohla by byti vyhrazena ustanovenim podlehajicim easovYria zmenam. Na veci rozhodne nic tak dalece nezmeni jak by jednotlive skupiny byly rozdeleny, hlavni veci v'Sak by musolo bit, aby zasada pro rozvrstveni, vysloy end r‘daktorem v jeho pojednani, byla zachovana. Nernohlo by bYti spurn 0 torn, Ze tin staly by se stanovy nmohem prehlednejSi a celY chod sluZby byl by pruZnejS1, ponevadZ vyjmenovane povinnosti jednotlivcil odpovidaly by skutee-

nosti. Podobne mohly by bYti upraveny jednou prov2dy i povinnosti firednikii dii-triktu, cadu, redaktora, pravniho stance, vrchniho lekare, v'Sech organise.torn, Merin rriznYch vYborii atd.

Nova Uprava vyZadala by si trochu caso a ti. kdo by yypracovanim navrhu byli povereni, hezky by si s tim pohreli. ACkoliv stojime jiz na prahu roku, ve kterem bode konan sjezd, myslim, Ze neni jeSte tak pozde, stoji to rozhodne za uveZehou. Snad mnohym elernim se to bude zdati na prvni ponied trochu divoke, ponevaa to znamend zmenu opravdu od zakladu, trochu jako revolueni. Nesmime ale zapomenout, Ze neudelame-li nejakou pronikavou zmenu nyni neb v nejbliMi budoucnosti. Ze jednou k toniu dojit PonevadZ je to nee° zcela noveho, obeval jsem se, Ze by to mohlo zptisobit rozrucli a proto jsem s podobnYm navrhem nepriSel, aby si snad nekdo nedelal starosti, Ze chci zde zavadeti neco evropskeho. Dries, ponevadZ to vySlo z pera jineho, red se' o veci zminuji a doporueuji weir k laskovemu uvaZeni. Bude-li treba, milerad vypomohu.
