DRAIIP, DIM A OPRAVY ZPOMINAM NA SJEZD V ROce 1928. Konal se v Temple.

Zaeal v UterY 31. eervence a skoneil na treti den, ye etvrtek 2. srpna.

Byl jsem jednim ze zapisovatelfi sjezdovela° jednani, mladY, vnimavY, pristupnY novYm dojmilm. Nak Jednota pra.ve dosahla stoprocentni solvence a meld jsme milion a tri et yrti jmeni.

Vzpominam take na cestu do sjezdu.

Mel jsem zano yni auto znaoky Overland v dobrem stavu, ale vzdalenosti z Houstonu do Temple ubYvalo pomalu. Cesty byly hlinite, piskove; jen misty trochu Sterku, jen asi tri mile tvrcle cementoy e dla2by vYchodne od Brenham. Pres reku Brazos se prejiZdelo jeSte na pramu, toti2 na plochem drevenem plavidle, anglicky zvanem "ferry". Tenkrat, pied 28 lety, cesta z Houstonu do Temple trvala od pet! rano do sedmi veeer. VSechno bylo tenkrat pomale a zdlouhave.

Take jednani desateho sjezdu SPJST v Temple, pied 28 lety, bylo pomale, nenucene, le2erni. Zaealo o pul desate rano. Bratr ChernoskY, teb.dejSi predseda SPJST, ustancvil poverujici vybor na prozkoumani listin delegatil od 149 radii, rozdaly se sjezdove pentle, zvolil se sjezdovY predseda, mistopredseda, zapisovatele, a Slo se k obedu. Odpoledne se zvolil vybor na denni poradek, vybor na stanovy, dalSi v .i7bory, a byly tri hodiny, kdy sjezd se odroeil aZ' do stredy rana do deviti hodin.

A zase si vzporninam, ze ye stredu dopoledne trvalo zaseclani jen asi hodinu.

Cleni rilznYch vYboril se nemohli najit.

Sjezd se znovu odreiii, aby vYbory molily dale pracovat. K projednavani stanov a oprav nebo zmen dodo a't ye stredu odpoledne. Stano yni vybor z' aoal se svou zpravou asi ye the hodiny. Nez doSic na odpoledni 10minutovou prestavku, byly cele stanovy opraveny. Zavedla se

dvojnasobna t iirazove. pojistka, zavedi se DetskY cdbor, totiZ pojiSt'ovani deti na $500 od dvou do 16 let, zavedly se piljeky na zvYSily se obnosy majetkovYch piijeek, a prijaly se jine opravy. VSechny tyto zmeny se odhlasovaly v odpolecinim zasedani neZ byla prestavka, tedy asi v dobe trvajici asi dye nebo dve a pfil hodiny. Tretilio dne veeer bylo po sjezdu. NemYlim-li se, sjezd v Temple v 1928 stal pribli2ne necelYch pet a pill tisic.

To bylo v dobe, kdy cesta z Houstonu trvala celY den, kdy nebyly moderni vymoknosti, pornoci nichZ by se dalo mnoho easu uSetrit. Na desatem sjezdu v roku 1928 se neSetrilo easem. Sjezdove jednani bylo nenucene a pomale. Zaealo se pozde, pak se jednani prvniho dne odpoledne odroeilo, druheho dne dopoledne se zase odroello, a drulleho dne k yeeeru se jednani o pul hodiny useklo.

Vzdor tomu. sjezd trval jen tri dny.

Porovilejme to, co bylo pied triceti lety s tim, co bude letos. KdyZ jsme vSechno konali leZerne, yzalo to tri dny. Letos mame stanovni vybor, ktery zaene svou praci za tYclen. 17Ybor bude zasedat den nebo dva. VYsledek nam predloZi. 0 vYsledku budeme dabatovat tri mesice, abychom eas na sjezdu uSetrili. Pak na sjezdu si vezmeme zase dosti easu, abychom to upravili co nejlepAi. Za etyri roky to budeme opakovat.

Nejen to, ale my letos budeme miti ustanovenY vybor na denni poradek mesic pied sjezdem, abychom uSetrili eas a praci ye sjezdu. VYbor bude pracovat den pied zahajenim sjezdu. Mame nejlepSi Amysly, aby co nejvice pripravnych a nutnYch veci bylo vykonano pied sjezdem. Ani zpravy naSich hlavnich Urednikii nebudou podavany aZ ye sjezdu, ale nejmene tri mesice pied sjezdem. Take zpravy vSech vYboril, jak naiizuje

nek 5-d, a zpravy kaZdeho hlavniho rednika, elanek 50, museji bYti uverejneny y e Vestniku tri mesice pied sjezdem, jen aby sjezdove jednani se neprotahovalo.

A piece tyto vkchny predbeZne pravy nezarueuji, : "• e naS letoSni sjezd se ukonei 7.a tri dny. Mame . dobre Umysly, ale mute to s nami dopadnout jako se Ziznivym, ktery stoji u nalevny.

Jsou dye cesty napra y.. Obe se mohou vloZit do naSich stanov. Bude zale'Zet na naSem stanovnim vYboru nebo na na'Aich hlavnich firednicich, jestli na opravdovou zmenu a napravu pristoupi.

KaZda nova mySlenka yyZaduje easu, aby se ujala. Napred seminko, pak pak dohled a opatrovani. Zde je tedy serninko. Neni me vlastni, ale naSel jsem ho ye stanovach asi deseti jinYch bratrskYch organisaci.

Mohli bychom vyhodit z elanku 17 dye slova: "denni plat," jak to maji jine organisace, ktere plati delegatilm jen skuteene cestovni vYlohy. NUSi delegati si sjezdem privydelavaji: "Mel jsem se dobre- a jeSte jsem si privez1 dolma eiston padesatku."

Jestli se yam nezamlouva toto semeno, zde je jima odrilda, take dobra. Pozmeate elanek 19., aby znel nasledoyne: "VSechna sjezdova za.sedani budou se riditi dennim poradkem, kterY vypracuje spoleene predsjezdovy stanovni vybor a Hlavni tradovna, aby nebyl delSi tii day."

Kahla yetSi stavba potiebuje pPedbCZne nakresy, NaS sjezd je stavbou. Bude ureitY material, vezme to ureitou dobu ne2 .se to postavi.

Prave kdyz toto dopisuji, idle! vrabci nad otevrenm olmem. SnaSeji material a stavi pro svou budoucnost. Mohli bychcm si vziti vystrahu, abychom nestayell cae vrabeiho vzoru.

Toto Cislo Vestniku melo hYti prepineno rozmanitYmi navrhy na opravu stanov. Je to posledni &sip pied schuzi stanovniho vYboru. Mame pravidlo, ykchny navrhy na oprawa stanov musi byti zaslany na tajemnika vYboru anebo uverejneny y e Vestniku. Ktere elanky jsou zaslany jenoin na tajemnika a nejsou uverejneny ve Vestniku, tajemnik sam poSle je k uverejneni bezodkladne.

A dale je pravidlo, ze navrh, kterY nebyl podan vYboru na opravu stanov, nenniZe bYti predlolen ye sjezdu k uvaZeni.

Ocekaval jsem, ze prijdou do tohoto eisla nejake pokyny a navrhy od samotne Hlavni. ihadovny. JiZ pied vice nea pul rokem miuvil se mnou hlavni tajemnik, bratr Chupick, Ze sam ma asi tucet Zit;;Tch zmen, na ktere prikl postupem easu od minaleho sjezdu, ale ze musi vyekat, a2 bratr predseda svola k. porade celou Hiavni nradovnu. Asi nedo'Slo na spoleenou poradni schuzi anebo bratr ptedseda se k tomu o,smeli v posledni den a prednese stanovnimu vYboru vkchna doporueeni osolme.

A prave toto vyekavani, ze pfijdou nejake navrhy od samotneho Ustredi, zdrZovalo vane samotneho, ze nechtel jsem predbihat nak hlavni aredniky a sam podavat konkretni navrhy. Oni jsou zapraleni do spolkove prace tYden po tydnu, sami znaji naSe slabosti a nedostatky. a proto oni by men miti prvni slovo a nejpadnejSi ditvody, aby nektere veci v nakm bratrskem spolku byly zlepSeny a zdokonaleny. Ae sam tea premySlim, planuji a porovnavam, jsem piece proti hlavnim firedniktm jen nadenikem, najatou osobou na uverejnovani jejich na• hledil, rad a pokynti. Tedy napied oni, potom teprve vYpomocna, sila. Ale kdyZ a2 dosud nic z Astredi nepriSlo, kdy uZ je, jak se filth, "pet minut do dvanacti," clo-volim si podati sve nazory.

Jsem nesmirne vdeenSr tomu, sjezd v Houstonu, na navrh bratra Stehlika a bratra Gajevskeho, dovolil mi nebo zpinomocnil mne, abych navAtevoval zasedani 13ratrskYch kongresti. Mohu vdeene a uprimne prohlasit, ze pro kaMello einovnika, kterY chce se priueit, je to prilelitost k nezaplaceni. V bratrskYch kongresech nasbiral sem nejvice ponau'dent A ponevan vSechny bratrske organisace maji stejne cite, take cesty jsou si velice podobne. Dokud je spolek malt', start jeden nebo dva Urednici. U velkeho spolku je zavedeno vice odboril a oddele ni, je vice hlavnich itrednikft a vYpemocnYch sil. Ale celkove vedeni bratrskYch spolku je na stejnem zaklade nebo podle stejneho vzoru.

Ve stPeclu, tine r?-. bi-ozna 195(3.

Co v nisledujicich odstavcich vysvetlim, jsou me soukrome nahledy. jsem k nim prate tim, Ze houstonskY sjezd n.ne . dovolil, abych aol mezi druhe a poznal, jak jine bratr.,;1«5' spolky °pentmenSim ji hospodarne, systernaticky. yydani a pri vetSich vYhodach pro sve deny. Snad innohY elen bude prekvapenY, co zde sdeluji. SaM jsem byl take prekvapenY. Nebojim 8e ze musel jsem opravit sve nazory, ktere jsem za staval delve. Ku prikladu myslel jsem drive, ae eim vice budenie miti hlaVnioh, firednikU, tim lope budeme pokraeoVat. Ale v poslednich dyrech letech, `kd •Z, jsem pozoroval a porovnaval jine bratx ske organisace, priSel jsem k Domani, ze naSe SPJST je jeSte maid organisace, abychodu museli miti Sest hlavnich nrednika.

Co my dues potrebrijem -vice neZ cokoliv jineho, je rozdeleni prate v a Ustredne na tri odbory, a aby kaZdY oddil byl v rukou schoprieho Utednika. Dokud nebudeme miti patnact nebo' dvacet majetku, tri odbory a tri hlavni inednici nam staci. Nahledy naSe se mohou rozchazet, ale k takovemu zavern dejde kaZdY ehapavY den, kclyZ studovat sloleni a vedeni bratrskYch organisaci. Nak SPJST je mezi rimi na padesatem devatern miste. Za IMAM je sto padesat menSich.

Za Elvacet let, nebo az budeme pies patnact milionft rnajetku, bude naSe ustredna sloZitejSi. Do to doby potrebajeme jen tri hlavni odbory a tri dobre Uredniky, kteri by za spravnou vYkonnost v techto odborech byli zodpovedni.

Jeden odbor je administrativni, druhY je investieni, treti je organisaeni.Adrninistrativni odbor je yyrizoy ani. v.3ech selelitosti mezi Ustredim a rnistnimi rady, mezi Ustredim a pravnikem, mezi dim a Vestnikem, vSechno kupovani kancelarskYch potreb, doliled na yYpomeene kancelarske sily, vSechno to. co je vyjmenovano y e stanovach pod povinnost mi tajemnika a Ueetnibo. Odbor investieni je vSechno, co se vztahuje na investovani v nasem osmimilionovem obchodu. Neni to maliekost, My jsine svelm easu prave v investicich, meli ztraty ohromne. Vezme to nadprtimerne schop nosti a obchodni inteligenci, aby elovek dovedl Uspane investovati velike stony, pri kterYch jen zlomek procenta znamena bud' vYdelek nebo ztratu. A treti odbor, totiZ organisaeni. nemame jeSte na takovem stupni, jak bychom men anti, 0-:ganisaeni odbor zahrnuje statniho orp..1nisatora, mistni crganisatory, orgaoi:Th• ni vYbor slolenY ze Menu hlavnich ved.m doh, vYcvik organisatorn, opravu Slob vYhod, pro stare deny, lekarske a privatni prohlidky, kursy, pomficky, a celkove zvYSeni obchodu.

V minulem eisle Vestniku ieden bratr

Ve stredu, dne 7. brezna 1956. od radu San Antonio navrhoval, ae melt bychom dati nakmu mistopredsedovi na starost organisaeni einnost, kdya drivej§1 pokusy a pokyny poslednich dvou sjezdti selhaly. My genka by se mi zamlouvala, kdya by se na gel mladg e'en, asi od 35 do 45 let, kterY by mel kvalifikace a take zalibu v podobne einnosti. Ale bylo by nutne upraviti jeho sluane tak, aby si sam svou mzdu vydelal. DobrY organisator nebude pro na g. SPJST—a tea nikde jinde—pracovat za menus plat nea deset tisic roene. A dobrY organisdtor si tento cbnos yydela jen prodejem noveho pojigent Musi vgak miti patriene gkoleni.

Byl jsem v kursu v Purdue universite s takovYmi, kteri vydelali roene dvanact as patnact tisic, a vk se zaplatilo z noveil° pojiAteni. DobrY organisator vi, kdya se neprieini, nic nevydela. Bratr Cerny ze San Antonia, kterY sam etvrtmilionovY pojik'ujici obchod v Houstonu nea vykoupil jinY etvrtmilionovY obchod v San Antoniu, ma zdravY•nahled.

Radi, at' se najde dobrY statni organisator, prida se mu Arad mistopredsedy, a at' pracuje v Ustredi a vede vkchno potrebne k organisaeni pra : ci. Moana ae sam bratr Cerny by mel o takovou praci zajem. Kvalifikace v pojiWujicim obchodu ma vYborne.

Odbor investieni by mohl ziistati rukou samotneho ptedsedy, kdya by se ustanovil investieni vYbor, jak tomu u jinYch bratrskYch organisaci. A jako mohli bychom usporit v organisaenim odboru, kdy by statni organisator byl zaroven mistopredsedou, tak mohli bychom uktrit v investienim odboru, kdya bychom uVaaili, ae dnes predseda a pravnik stoji nas mane pies dvacet tisic. A budou nas stati eim dale tim vice. Tak uvaauji o poznamce bratra Steinera v dopise, kterY prikl minuleho tYdne, ale je uverejnenY as dnes.'Pik, ae vypiatilo by se nam, kdybychom za predsedu SPJST zvolili si nektereho pravnika. Je vice bratrskYch jednot, ktere pri gy na to, ae takova kombinace je pro jejich eleny nadmiru Usporna. Kdybyste dali predsedovi-pravniku dvanact nebo patnact tisic roone, uktrite Jednote od gesti do deseti tisic kaadY rok. TakovY predseda-pravnik dovede zamestnat dve dobre sthnotypistky a vyridi ye thou dnech vice prace nea se dnes v kancelari predsedy vyridi za celY tyden.

K vedeni admmistrativniho odboru sta g nam je S . te na dvanact, patnact let jeden Urednik, totia kombinace tajemnika a pokladnika. Maji to podobne u jinYch vet:Sich bratrskYch spolku. Dostavam jejich organy a mohl bych jmenovat nektere hodne vets: nea naS'e SPJST, kde maji pro administrativni odbor jen jednoho firednika, tajemnika-pokladnika.

V nakn.f ustredi jsou docela jine pracovni podminky nea u mistnich tadu, kde se prace neplati a kde se to musi rozde-

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS lit a rozkouskovat, aby vice lidi pracovalo zadarmo nebo jen za nalaradu na papir a inkoust. V Ustredne se prace take rozdeli, ale prave to rozdeleni je na Skodu. Jsou si v gchni rovni-----a etyri roky musite trpet i toho, kterY se nic nenaugi za deset rokti.

Opakuji, ;'Le dokud nebudeme mit pies patnact milionu majetku, sta g nam odbory, kdya budou, vedeny schopnYmi idedniky. A stag. nam tii hlavni firednici, predseda, mistopredseda a tajemnikpokladnik. Fred osmi nebo deseti roky by mne adclnY nepremluvil a nepresvedo neeem podobnem. Lee nejsem talc tvrdohlavY, abych nevidel, ae u jinYch organisaci se t6 provadi s iispechem a hospodarne. Nas dnes hlavni idednici, redaktor, pravnik a statni organisator stoji pies padesat tisic roene. Mohli bychom u,ktrit patnact as dvacet tisic, a pH tom dati hlavnim firednikfim lepSi platy, miti lepSi poradek, zdarilej g vYsledek a lacinejSi vedeni. Take jine vyclani na Hlavni Aradovnu bylo by vice omezene, protoae kaadY 'z tech ad firednikti by se snadraet v rozpoetu svilj odbor. Dnes nemame jeg e tyto tri odbory presne vyznaoene a take aadnY rozpoeet (budget) neni vyplanovan. KaadY . jede, kdy se mu zachce, telefonuje se bez rozvahy, nikdo nekontroluje, a pied sjezde-Na jeden na druheho nepovi, aby sam sood neugcodil.

Byly navrhy, aby se zvolili dva mistopiedsedove, aby tea redaktor byl firednikern, a aby Hlavni idadovna se rozgrila.

Bratri, nedelejte to. Byl jsem tea liabledu, ae eim vice hlavnich firednikfi, tim bude lep g vartist Jednoty. Dnes tomu neverim. Dnes jsem se presvedeil, ae eim meng je bratrskY spolek, tim, vice je titulovanYch firednikti. A naopak, gin silnej g je bratrska, organisace, tim lope je prace a povinnost rozdelena jen mezi ty nejhlavnej g a nejnutnejk My take musime projit periodou, kde si sve veci dame trochu do lepelho poradku. Jestli to neprovedeme letos, eeka nas to v budoucnosti. z toho strach, vyekejte a nechejte vkchno beaet, jak to be g . Ti mladg, as jim ustoupime, to zaridi vice systematicky. Ale jestli mate v sobe trochu hrdosti a touhy, aby Jednota uclelala skuteenY pokrok jeke dokud my jsme zde, talc nakmu vedeni dejte trochu novej g, hladsi. lepg vedeni. Dejte do stanov, ae kancelare SPJST jsou rozdeleny ye tri odbory: administrativni, pod clohledem tajemnika-pokladnika; investieni, pod rizenim predsedy a investioniho vYboru; a organisaeni, pod kontrolou mistopredsedy a or ganisaeniho VYboru.

Jia dnes mame ye stanovach, ze predseda podava zpravu o ve gcere administrativni, investieni a agitaeni oinnosti v Jednote. Mame to v elanku 40-b, neja14m neznanaYin a nevyzpytatelnYm zpil-

Strana 3 sobem se to do stanov dostulo, aniZ bychom odbory men zavedeny. Snad to bylo opsdno z nekterYch stanov jineho spolku, ale nezavedli jsme si odbory, jak je maji jinde. Anebo kdosi to chtol, ale byl prijatY jen kousek.

Proto davam urei4T navrh. Jestli neprojde letos, snad si na nej vzpomene nekdo za etyri, osm nebo dvanact "Vann, ae bylo by dobre, kdyby progel letos. Uspisili bychom leph vedeni nag.

Jednoty. Zde je ten navrhd Olanek 30.

Hlavni Aradovna portistava ze sboru rekterY eita sedm 'dent), a z vYkonneho vYboru, kterY ma tri hlavni firedniky. Kancelare Jednoty jsou rozdeleny ye tii odbory, a sice: adminiStrativni odbor, pod rizenim hlavniho tajemnikapokladnika; investieni odbor, pod rizenim predsedy za yYpomoci investieniho vYboru; a organisaeni odbOr, pod rizenim mistopredsedy za vYpomoci:organisaeniho vYboru. Investieni a organisaeni \TYbory jsou vybrany ze sedmi reclitela.

Nedelam si mnoho nadeje, ze tento navrh dostane nejakeho uznani. Je to idSak jedna mySlenka, kterou jsem studoval pomoci stanov jinYch bratrskYch spolkti, a ,ktera Se mne zda prijatelna, a phlehava na nak pomery. Sam jsem kdysi horoval,. abychom men fieetniho. Sam jsem se primlouval o zavedeni ifradu pokladnika. A bylo to vYhodne, kdya nahle tragickYm zpilsobem odeki nam hlavni firednik, kterY vecll na g Jednotu pies etyricet let. Ale dnes rozunlim obchodu bratrskeho pojiSt'ovani docela jinak, ponevada jsem si vsimal, jak jinde tento zpilsob s inengm poetem hlavnich vedoucich se osvedeuje. Snad mne nebude perozumeno. Snad budu obythovan, proti nekomu pracuji. Lee dnes nepi g o jednotlivYch osobach, ale mluVim o sloueeni a vedeni nag Ustreclny. Nebucle-li nit Porozumeno, nebude to pOnejpr y ani naposled.

Jednou za etyri roky opravujetne stavbu a pozmenujeme, aby ocipoviciala, modernim poaadavktim. PH kaadem piestavovani vznika trochu nesouladu. IVInoha vec musi se obchazeti, je neprijenme v ceste. Kaada presta yba. je nepohodlna.

Ale kdya se opravy dodelaji, zmizi piekaaky, zapomene se na svizele a nastane vetSi spokojenost nea byla drive. Mame pied sjezclem prijdou rozmanito projevy, ale musinie je brati s klidem, s rozvahou. Nehubujte, nezlobte se. Za tri mesice vSichni si oddechneme a budeme radi, ze iname Jcdnotu lepsi neZ kdy predtim. ° 4, * Kdo ocekava od aivota zisk, musi do neho nem vloaiti.

Pripomenulo mne to, 2e August Kacir se nikdy, co se pamatuji, platu za takovou praci nedomahal, — ani2 se kdy domahal platu za jinou praci jako pravnik Jednoty. jenom jsem jej sly gel Het, kdy2 nu na tech procentech usekli ve sjezdu, a kdy2 nekteri eleni na jeho vycoke vydelky ukazovali, 2e si nikdo nevzpomene ani nepomysli na to, 2e jest dosti prace s nedokoneenYmi pujekami za ktere nic nedostane a ne2ada. A ty jeho vYclelky take nebyly tolik, jako ma pravnik Jednoty ted'.

Za rok 1955 pravni radce dostal od Jednoty vyplaceno za pujeky $13,402.05, mesieni plat za rok 1955 jest $1,800.00 a k tomu tech $500.00, ktere po2adoval za, odevzdani toho eeku, tedy eelkern dostal od Jednoty za rok 1955 $15,702.05 Ale, jak jsem slysel z Ast na gich tirednika, je gte to pro neho nebylo dosti, tak na pajeujicich po2adoval extra poplatky za vystaveni jistYch, pri piljekach nutnYoh, lictin. Bylo mne sdeleno, 2e Jednota nejake pujeky nasledkem takoveho neopravneneho po2ada yku ztratila. Honeene toto bylo zastaveno druhYmi eleny Hlavni fdadovny.

Zustane-li pravni radce elenem Hlavni Uradovny tak jak nyni jest, bude nutno, na ochranu Jednoty, ten elanek 46 opine znneniti, tak aby plat pravniho

radce byl absolutne a pi'esne vyteen. Tak jak ten elanek nyni jest sesta,ven, nechavelikou diru, skrze kterou davtipnY eiovek maze snadno poladovati plat za pracj. mfimo pUjOky. Tento elanek 46 doslovne zni: "Pray ni radce musi peelive sledovati zakony bratrsk;/ch jednot a za.stupovati Jednotu a rady ye vSech pravnich zalelitostech a pravni radu udileti. Zkouabstrakty a listiny pozemkove drive ne21i Hlavni Uradovna ptijeku uzavre. za yyi'izovani pflj6ek poeiiu. se profondu no yydani Hlavni Uradovny."

• Zde jest v torn elanku to (lira: "Plat za vytizo y ani pUjOek poeita se proti fondu na yydani Hiavni aradoyny."

Tato veta neehava dvirka pro pol'adavek platu za fine prace pekne otevrena, protole elanek nerika, 2e tech stopadesat mesiene jest plat pravniho radce Jednoty za veskerou jinou praci, kterou raky neb Hlavni aradovna potrebuje. — a to neni Myslirn, Sc by ka2dY pravnik byl s prijmem skuro :,=estnacti tisic dollaru rdene spokojeny. A bude to jiste tolik za 1956, proto2c elm dale, tim vice pfljeek a vetSi piljeky se delaji, tak si jiste A/y(161A na:S pravnik pies $estnact tisic, za 1956, — i bez tech peti set co po2adoval za odevzdani toho Ceku. Kdy2 si poiryslim, 2e se pied sjezdem v Houstonu nabizel vziti praci pravniho radce Jednoty za $500.00 mesiene, — a pak po2aduje za maliekost' takovY obnos jako se nabizel vziti za mesic prace, — vy6itam si, zejsme nechali ty dvirka tab dokoran oteyrene.

Ale, kdo to vedel? Byly otevrene hued po sjezdu y e Fort Worth, -- a nic se nestab°. Nas pravnik byl ovkin .lint Zde si dovolim podati navrb na °pm:Yu toho elanku 46.

KdyZ na poeatku roku 1943 sbor sesactil z Uradu pokladnika Hlavni nradovny' a neetnik Hlavni firadovny se sveho firadu vzdal a ja jsem zde na Hlavni Uraclovni zustal, s einnych rednikfi, sam, zustal jsem zde s tim clorozumenim a dohodnutim se sborem reclitela a jejim ujiStenim ze mne bude dovoleno zavesti na Hlavni Uraclovni, takovY system, takevel knihy, takove zaznamy a takovy poradek, jakY uonam on clebrY a spravny a pro naSe potteby vYhodnY. KdyZ sbor ieditelu k tome svolil -JO jsem proto na Hlavni Uradovni zustal, co tajemnik, a pustil jsem se do price s pomoci nekolika (prove ze Skoly vyjitYch) sekretarek a pracoval jsem zde s takovou yYpomoci nekolik mesitu sam, a.Z do to doby co byl zvolen za pokladnika Hlavni tradovny nynejk pokladnik.

Ze jsme po takovem prevratu na poea.tku roku 1943 ma. na, Hlavni Uradovni price dost to nemosim pripominati.

Delali jsme nejenom pies den ale i yeCeraini; sekretarky dostavaly "overtime"; byly spokojene a pracovalo se nam. dobre. Ja jsem mojim yYpomocnYm silam natidil co se vsecko ma delat, jak se to ma delat, zebral jsem za vsecko sam zodpovednost bez vYmluv, bez Week, bez odtahovani, bez odkladani a prate sla ku ptedu. Nikdy nebyla na Hlavni firaclovni tak vysoka osobni vykonnost price jako v tu dobu. KaZdY vedel co ma &lat. VSe Slo ku po poradku, aZ se to dodelalo.

Ten system kterY jsme pro Hlavni nradovnu v tedy zavedli a kterY zde dosod name zachoval pro Jednotu tisice a tisice dolaru. Neni dokonalY neb dokonalYch veci je na svete velice Indio ale kdyZ tent() system byl zde zaveden to byl ten nejlepSi a nejvetk krok ku predu a pro vSeobecne dobro Jednoty kterY se kdy udelal.

Reports, from Lodges, biographies, etc., intended for publication, must be in the hands of the Editor a week before the date of issue. Address all editorial matters to: Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston 7 Tex.

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. BOX 400, TEMPLE, TEXAS

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THIS IS THE LAST-MINUTE REMIN- ,Organiza tional. The supreme president and operate a home, sanatorium, educa-

der that the preconvention By-law Committee meets this Saturday, and that you, individually, your Lodge, or your district has only till Saturday to submit motions for changes in our By-laws. A motion which was not submitted to the By-law Committee cannot be presented directly to the convention.

IT WAS MY INTENTION AND PURpose to write my editorials in such way that they would give you, the SPJST members, something to reflect upon and revolve in your mind. Some of you may consider me to be a garrulOus, cantankerous old man; always fault-finding, always criticizing. I may be all of that.

Yet, you hired me to inform you truthfully, pointing out to you some of the excellent things and also some of those which are not up to par. I had been doing it, freely and unofficially, from 1920 until 1944. Then, at the beginning of 1949, you hired me to run the English section, and two years later also the Czech part. If you have something to say about my editorials, you have been, you are, and you will be, free to say it.

You are as free to criticize me as I feel free to have my say about others or about some of the things which should be improved in the SPJST. But let us do it in a courteous manner.

IN THE PRINTING BUSINESS, A word "deadline" is very common. It means the hour at which the printing forms are locked, after which no other material can be inserted in the current issue. Since this Saturday is the "deadline" for motions to the By-law Committee, I am taking the liberty of making my recommendations.

HERE IS MY FIRST RECOMMEDAtion. And I place it first, because I consider it of the utmost importance in the management of the SPJST. Article 30.: "The management of the SPJST, in the interim between the conventions, is vested in the Board of Directors, composed of seven members and having its chairman and secretary, and Executive Conimittee, with three supreme officers in complete charge of three departments: administrative, investment, and

shall be in charge of the investment department, and shall be assisted by the investment committee. The supreme vice-president shall be in charge of the organizational department, and shall be assisted by the organizational committee. The supreme secretary-treasurer shall be in charge of the administrative department, and shall be assisted by an auditor and an assistant-treasurer. The investment committee and organizational committee shall be selected from the seven directors."

THE ADOPTION OF THIS MOTION will not change the management of the SPJST very much, but it will place the responsibility of executive officers where it should be. It would be in line with the management of other fraternal organizations. Every fraternal society started with humble beginning, managedby only one or two officers. As the society grows there is the need to handle the business of receiving money and reports from the subordinate lodges, to keep the books, administrative affairs. Then there is the necessity of investing the funds of the society, to make loans, to buy securities, investment affairs. And there is the desire for additional new members, the drives and campaigns, the training of field workers, the organizational department. And when the society gets about twice or three times as big as our SPJST is now, there are other departments added, the legal department, the medical department, the actuarial department. As we are today, we need three departments, and they should be under control of three competent executive, three supreme officers. At present, we don't need more than three.

HERE IS MY SECOND MOTION FOR change of the SPJST By-laws. It would be a supplement to Article 2, where the purpose of the SPJST is given. So after the words of Article 2, ". . . to promote moral, cultural and economic progress . . " I would suggest the following supplement: "This organization, in order to achive the above-mentioned purpose, may, in accordance with the statutes, also purchase, erect, maintain, equip,

tional, recreational or health center, or organize a non-profit corporation to take care for members of this association. A majority of the directors of said non-profit corporation shall always be members of the Board of Directors of the SPJST. No member shall have any contractual right to be admitted to such benevolent institutions. Any application for admission shall be on its own requirements, and shall in no case be made the basis of any legal liability on the part of the SPJST." * * MY THIRD RECOMMENDATION HAS to do with the alternates or we may say with the assistant directors. We remember that District One did not have an alternate for nearly two years. I doubt very seriously that two blood brothers would be nominated and selected for a director and an alternate. It does not work that way in fraternal circles. There should have been an alternate, and our supreme president should have notified the alternate that a vacancy occurred.

To fill the vacancy, a new director was elected just before the "deadline" when the directors were to meet. On the other hand, the supreme president knew that there would be another vacancy. To avoid such a recurrence, I submit the following amendnient: "In the event that any director shall, through sickness or otherwise, be unable to attend any meetings, or to attend to any of his duties, said director shall authorize his alternate to represent himr at such meetings or to perform such duties."

This amendment can be inserted in its proper place within the existing Article 33.

IF I WERE TOLD THAT THE BY-LAW Committee or the delegates at the convention will accept one, and only one, recommendation from me, and if I were to choose the most beneficial for the SPJST, I would submit only the first one, establishing three departments at the headquarters, administrative, investment, and organizational. We need every one of these three to be headed by one executive officer. It will give more efficiency. better co-operation and about twenty thousand a year less expenses.

Reports From Districts YOUNGSTERS IN DISTRICT SEVEN

VE TNIK -- WEST, TEXAS

Straaa 13

THE ETERNAL ENGRAVING (By Daniel Kajecka) Last week, Brother V. H. Barina, p resident of Osveta Lodge No. 38 of Sfrithville, pointed out in the Czech ' section of the Vestnik that we have been neglecting our students. altogether.

He voiced the feeling that any systematic recognition of our children over a period of years would have greatly improved the reputation of the SPJST wins the younger set.

Every progressive fraternal society has from time to time some sort of contest among the high school students. Here is a contest script prepared by a 16-yearold boy, on of the four winners in a contest sponsored by a fraternal society.—Editor.

Meeting of District Seven will be April 15, 1956, at Jourdanton, Texas.

The entertaining committee sincerely hopes that each lodge in the district will be represented by at least one youngster participating on the program at the meeting.

Whatever your child desires to do, dance, play an instrument, or perform in any other way, we will be happy to have him or her take part. Recitations or songs in either language, English or Czech, would be fine.

stand next to a jewelry store, where a 160 million people of different nationalities, races and creeds are intermingled—where 9 million of these people can exist in a concrete maze of tall buildings and winding streets—where a general and a rail-splitter can become President—where a youth can address an adult audience with his own thoughts and can be heard with attention?—This is a gigantic dream come true, a living miracle. And this, my friends, is the miracle of America. And the reason for this miracle—why we are the United States—is also stamped on this small copper coin. The reason for this miracle is—God. Therefore, "In God We Trust" —and it is in this trust that we are one, that we are free, that we have life, that we have the miracle that is America. These are the ideas generated by a small coin—a coin that we pass through out hands daily.—These are the ideas that add up to our definition of democracy—our democracy of freedom, equality, unity, and trust in God. Democracy, my friends, is an old idea.

But having been betrayed by so many ancient lands, it was brought to a new land—a land of red men and virgin forests, a land of peaceful rivers and fruitful plains inhabited only by the buffalo.

And in this land, through the tearful sufferings of Valley Forge and the sweat and blood of Bunker Hill, this spirit was fanned into a roaring fire of freedom which became our democracy.

This spirit that has made our country the greatest Nation on earth is as old as the human race. But the forces of hate, lust, and greed are also as old as the human race, and from time immemorial have opposed all justice, honor, and law in the world.

And so, my friends, these representations of justice, honor, and law on this small coin are not enough to preserve our way of life—we, as rthe inheritors of this coin and its defined freedom— we must take these words from the coin and inscribe them on our hearts, and in our spirit—and then, through the common usage of a small coin, realizing its value as a representative of our way of life—we can continue this flaming spirit of democracy.

And then, this little coin alone won't speak for democracy — then, we will speak for democracy, and if we speak for democracy, then the eternal engraving of the American people will read: "There will always be a democracy— and there will always be an America."

Everyone should come to the meeting as we have our Third District meeting coming up in West pretty soon, and also the convention in June.

Brother L. 0. Hosek was voted on the By-Law Committee to replace Brother I Bob Easley who resigned. Brother Elmer Howard was appointed to the Auditing, Committee to replace Brother Bob Easley.

Fraternally, Jay Dee Waggoner + 4o — LODGE KAREL JONAS NO. 28 East Bernard, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: We held our regular meeting Sunday, February 12. The meeting was opened by our president, as all the officers were in their places. Minutes were read and approved as read, then we discussed a few important programs, and some unfinished election was completed. We were very happy to have with us at the meeting Brother and Sister Mr. and Mrs. Bill Duckett from El Campo. We would like more of our members to come to the meeting from far. We have voted and welcome four new members; they are as named: John David Boha-

cek, Louis J. Maly, Harry Peter Supak, and Rebecca Lynn Bohacek. We would like to get a lot of new members into our lodge this year.

We had a very nice attendance at the Hall Karel Jonas 28 in East Bernard Sunday for the Czech play starting at 4 o'clock in the evening. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and had an enjoyable evening. The play was presented by the "Hlahol Dramatic Club" of Houston.

Name of the play was "Kdyz stesti chodi po Horach." The actors and actresses names are as follows: Brother John J. Starcala, Sister Maxine Sefcik, Sister Mary Johns,3n, Sister Naomi Kostom, Sister Wilhelmina Simecek, Brother Johnnie Sula, Brother Karel Sicner, Brother Rudy Sefcik, Brother Jerry Ermis, Brother Anton Svestka. The play was opened by Brother John Gajevsky of Orchard saying a nice speech. Thanks for the nice talk. In behalf of our lodge we want to express our sincere thanks to the actors and actresses for putting out such a beautiful play. We hope they will come back again soon. After the play was over, Editor Stephen Valcik of Houston presented a nice speech. We want to thank you for the nice words, Mr. Editor. Then, by all who were present, a song, "Hej Slovane," was sung which was very beautiful.

We were very sorry to hear that Sister Lydia Kubena has fallen and broken her arm. We do hope she will be all right soon.

Well, how do you all like this dust storm we have again? I don't like it at all. Everything gets so dusty. The farmers are busy working in the fields, harrowing and some already planting corn. It should come up pretty, as it is lots of moisture, if only it stayed warm.

We will hold our next regular meeting Sunday, March 11, starting at 2:00 o'clock p.m. Please everyone, remember the meeting and try to come.

The greeting cards, get well letters and also beautiful flowers I received during my sickness from some Lodges, SPJST members, other organizations and many personal friends made me very happy and will be long remembered. It is my sincere wish to thank every one personally for the messages of cheer, but there are so many of them that it will take a little time. Therefore, in the meantime I'd like to do so by means of cur Vestnik.

4. + ) SAN ANTONIO LODGE NO. 133 Dear Members, I last wrote to the Vestnik two months ago. Since then a lot of things have happened. Mother says our last two meetings were not very well attended.

At our last meeting Brother Kleprlik, our secretary, was absent. He was in the hospital in Palestine after a serious operation. He is doing well after the operation and I hope that he will be home soon, as he was missed in so many places. We just don't seem to be able to get on without him. The day of the meeting, Brother Charlie Cerny took the place of Brother Kleprlik and he did a good job. Thank you, Brother Cerny for taking Brother Kleprlik's place.

Our next meeting will be on March 11th, so let's all try to come and attend the meeting.

Yours truly Stanley Kalmus, Reporter

Wednesday, March 7, 195a OUR VESTNIK GETS CREDIT ELSEWHERE Grapevine, Texas Sisters and Brothers: Recently, one of my acquaintances, employed here in a store, told me that he read my article in his fraternal paper. I wanted to know what paper it was in, because I knew that he must have been mistaken and that I didn't sent my contributions anywhere else but to the Vestnik. He told me that it was an article copied from some other fraternal paper.

The whole thing made me even more curious after his eXplanation. So I borrowed his fraternal paper. It is named "I'he Laa2ue News," publiShed by Royal League, a fraternal insurance society with headquarters a 6501 West nobsevelt Road, Berwyn, 'Illinois. In the publication of the Royal League I found many letters and reports from members of that society living not only in Chicago, Berwyn, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit, but also members from the states of Ohio, Wisconsin, even Washington. I would judge that Royal League operates in many states, although it is somewhat smaller than our SPJST. What pleased me more than anything else • was the fact that our "Vestnik" goes to non-members and it is being read. Otherwise, my article in the Vestnik would not have the distinction of being reprinted in another fraternal paper. It also should make us to be proud of our official paper and its editor.

And when we think of the recognition our Vestnik and our editor get elsewhere, we must stop to think how silly it is when cur editor is told to stay away train the meeting of the Supreme Lodge.

They don't want him there. First, they threw him a bait to resign and take up the organizational work. He didn't bite, so they tell him to stay out.

Yet, if we review the work of our editor since Brother Moucka died, we have to admit that we have been very fortunate to get a man of his qualification.

He was elected as president of the Press Section of the National Fraternal Congress, but Brother Marek never showed one sign of approval, never said one word of gladness, that one of our SPJST members was so honored. We saw the same attitude of pushing our editor aside at the celebration in Elm Mott.

It make one wonder how thick-skinned one can be when it comes to recognize good qualities of another.

I do hope that members will agree with me that we have one of the best fraternal papers and that we are fortunate indeed in having Brother Valcik for our editor. Let us give him more sup-

The 0-eech E ucational Foundation of Texas Assisting him are some thirty leading members of Czech societies, prominent in their communities throughout the state.

Dr. Maresh, who is a descendant of two pioneer Czech families of Texas, and a friend of such world-famous Czechs as the late Jan Masaryk, has been long devoted to the cause of promoting the Czech language. He was born in Burleson County, and received his education in rural schools there and in Parker and Baylor Counties before entering the University of Texas at Austin and going to the University's Medical Department in Galveston. He is said to have been instrumental in interesting the legislators who supported the bill for establishment of the Chair in Slavic languages at the University of Texas. In 1915 the bill passed by a large majority and the Legislature made an annual appropriation of $1800.00 for its maintenance. Dr. Maresh's name is the first officially registered in the Department of Slavic languages. He is co-author of a book about the Czech pioneers of the Southwest and has written a number of papers on the subject. He has also lectured at various of the state's universities on the historical background and culture of the Czechs.

The Czech Educational Foundation of Texas, granted a charter by the Texas Department of State in 1954, is a nonprofit organization. Its headquarters are in Houston and societies and organizations in all of the 252 Czech communities are kept informed with news of its achievements directly and through the newspapers of the area.

DR. HENRY R. MARESH

The Czech Educational Foundation of Texas has just marked its first anniversary. During the first year impressive strides have been made in the fulfillment of its objectives, both through information disseminated by its Directors, by interested educators, and through Texas Czech-language newspapers.

tion—to establish and clarify for the public mind the importance of the Czech language to Men active in world affairs, to diplomats, educators, statesmen, and career linguists—this purpose has been furthered through lectures, letters, and articles. Stress has thus been placed on the econo-political advantages to the United States of America in the understanding of Slavonic languages in our vital role in international affairs, as well as for national defense. One of the points that has been made is that the study of the Russian language can be much more easily and thoroughly mastered if Czech is learned first.

The primary object of the Foundation —the granting of funds or property to worthy major colleges, universities and schools for the furtherance of the teaching of the Czech language, and increasing public understanding of Czech culture and its past contributions to Texas, and the country as a whole—has reDr. Henry R. Maresh, well-known ceived careful consideration by the DiHouston physician, scholar, and author, rectors and Officers. has been honored by being elected as The secondary purpose f the Founda- the first president of the Foundation,

Dr. Maresh points out that there are some 350,000 to 500,000 Czech-Americans in Texas alone. Their innate enthusiasm for the preservation of their language and culture led to the establishment of the Foundation and a permanent fund to which any Czech-American, or those interested in furthering the learning of Slavonic languages may contribute, for the defense of the United States and understanding of international affairs.

A 'thousand-dollar club" recently instituted has already received a number of subscriptions from generous donors.

Americans from all walks of life have endorsed the project whole-heartedly.

Active directors of the organization are elected every two years, and a statewide board of directors is, appointed. Reports will be furnished periodically to all actively interested in the Foundation, and additional information can be obtained

POST OFFICE IN TROUBLE One of the largest business concerns in the world, the Post Office Department, is in trouble.

The Post Office has more customers, takes in more money, all the time. Yet it is losing approximately 500 million dollars a year. Its costs are rising faster than its receipts.

The managers of the business, backed

by President Eisenhower, are now asking Congress for permission to raise prices. Similar proposals have been turned down in the past, and chances of adoption look doubtful this time. The higher postal rates now asked would not enable the Post Office to make a er even pay its way; but they would permit construction and modernization.

Postal service will suffer, Post Office officials warn, unless new buildings and equipment are provided. The mail load gets heavier and heavier. Old-fashioned methods of handling mail must be replaced, they say, with modern techniques, including automation.

Price of a stamp. There are the postage rates that are proposed: 4 cents for ordinary letters, instead of the present 3 cents.

7 cents for air mail, which now costs 6 cents.

30 per cent increase in the rates for books, magazines, newspapers and other second-class mail—the raise to be by 15 per cent raises in two successive years.

29 per cent raise in postage for advertising matter and other third-class mail.

If Congress allows these increases, they would bring4in an additional 406.5 million dollars a year.

With this extra. money, Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield proposes Mr. Ben Prevratil, 8623 Daytona Drive, to launch a five-year building program.

New Devices: The only way now to cut costs further, Mr. Summerfield believes, is to provide more floor spaCe and better facilities. For lack of space, some mail now is handled on the sidewalks, even in the rain. The movement of trucks often is held up for lack Of loading platforms. More conveyor belts, more new-type carts are needed.

Some of the equipment that is needed is just coming out of the inventors' laboratories: machines with electronic eyes that flip letters and arrange them in front of the stamp-cancelling machines in just the right position; machines that, in effect, "read" typed addresses, sorting letters by cities.

With such devices, costs eventually may be cut enough to wipe out the deficit, postal officials believe. But, even if the price of stamps is raised, they see little hope that the Post Office business will operate in the black—during the next five years, at least.—U, S.

An Ex-wife Can't Claim Your Insurance An ex-wife Or ex-husband has no "insurable interest" in a former spouse, according to a ruling by District Judge D, A. Blankenship that was announced recently.

For the benefit of our Readers the signer would like to state, that this ruling came after a hearing on a motion for a judgement by an insurance Company seeking to clarify its position in a case between a former husband and wife.

For four years since their divorce, the ex-wife has been the beneficiary of the policy as a result of an agreement made during the settlement of their community property. The testimony showed that the ex-wife had been paying one half of the premiums.

After the husband wanted to change the beneficiary of his policy the wife Protested claiming that the insurance was a part of her community property.

Hearing all the evidence Judge Blankenship ruled, that the beneficiary could be changed, since the woman had no insurable interest in her former spouse.

Thinking that this may interest some of our our readers I have looked up the records on this.

So Your 71ife Isn't Perfect (By John R. Clawson) Lunch period and the men were talking away their time while they munched sandwiches and sipped coffee. As husbands occasionally do, they started mentioning a few of the minor cornplaints against wives—nothing serious, just little gripes.

As an illustration, one husband said, "Thelma just can't get out of bed on time in the morning. If she tries to get my breakfast, she scorches the eggs and forgets my coffee; otherwise I settle for a couple of pieces of toast I make myself."

The second man chimed in. "Saturday is my day off, and just as sure as I want to go some place, Nan thinks of smile gal she hasn't talked to for ages. She has all week, mind you, to yakity •yak on the telephone, and then when ,I want to go to a ball game, she has to hold everything up with sorority chatter."

Then one of the men asked Bill what he thought about it all. Everyone knew Bill had his troubles at home. But if the group was expecting to hear a husbandly diatribe frum p him, they were doomed to disappointment. For what Bill said ran something like this: "Fellows, my wife has some irritating habits—just like any other woman. But one thing is for sure, I'm only a mere hunAn myself. I have a lot of weaknesses and bad habits, and somehow I don't mind my own faults. You see, I don't have to be perfect, because my wife isn't perfect; she 'doesn't expect perfection from me any More than I do fro her.

The work was hard but good for both of us. We were doing very well until one day my erstwhile partner learned from a city chap that by putting some common baking soda into our keg of shucked clams the night before marketing, the clams would swell so much that we could likewise swell our profits.

Sure enough,. after trial on a market day we had several more -pints of clam than formerly and had our biggest day's profit but on the following week ' and our first call, an older lady had been a good customer in the past said: "Those clams I bought from you were yellow and sour.

HOUSEKEEPERS ARE EXPENSIVE One aspect of mother's vital role in the family has been ignored by many in the past. There has been a natural, but dangerous, reluctance on the part of many men to discuss their wives' economic importance to the family.

Fortunately, this attitude is changing.

Couples are beginning to realize that the death of a wife will have considerable adverse financial impact, in addition to the terrible loss which would be suffered in all other respects.

A family insurance plan is no longer considered adequate when it includes a policy on the life of the wife for a minimum amount sufficient to provide a last expense and burial fund.

Mother's financial importance to the family now is being regarded in its true light. Her policy should total several thousand dollars at least and range upward from there, depending on the family's living standards and the size of the estate involved.

Last illness, burial, medical and other expenses have doubled and tripled in recent years so that the $1,000 policy is seldom adequate. Either savings must be utilized for all or part of these inevitable expenses or the money must .be borrowed and then repaid.

at her subsequent death to preserve the estate for their children. There will be no marital deduction available at that time and the tax will be similarly steep.

All in all a wife is valuable property and should be insured accordingly. Wife insurance is an integral part of a sound family insurance plan. ) • fge • (

Mill etenaki, mam paplru dosti, i na znamky mne neco Zfistane z meho mesieniho prijmu. Ale moje marina na psani je moc stara, a mam jiZ zkrivene v§echny klapky a ty se nenechaji jiz spravit.

Posledne jsem psal, jak jsem dostal praci u pani kova.rky ye vesnici X. za Prerovem. Prvni vec, jak jsem dal moji taSku do svetnieky, kterou mne pani urdostal jsem chut' na prerovske, neb jsem ho nepil pies sedm let. Tak povidam te pani, "Kde je zde napajov?" Ona na mne vyvali sva kukadla. Mela je opravdu jests hezka na'svoje mladi, kolem etyrici•ky, ze i v mojich oeich se jaksi zajiOna, ze co tim myslim. Ja pravim, to hostinec.

Ona povida: "Proe ti zatraceni kovari kaZdY se pta na hostinec a ne na praci?"

Ja povidam, "Pani, vidim, ze zde Mate prace habadej, ale ja zde Zadneho neznam, tak chci poznat aspori hostinskeho." Ona, "To verim, abyste vedel o jaka, jsem hri'Anice." To jsem se musel zasmat. Ona se take zasmala a povida, to neni daleko, Ze to asi najdu. Tak jsem ty slovacke nohy zaboril do hanackeho prachu, neb blato nebylo.

Do hostince jsem trefil neb byl asi v pull vesnice. Dvere otevrene, a pan hostinskY mel noviny pied ooima. Ja dal "dobre odpoledne". On odhodil noviny a povida, "Vitam vas, mladiku, a co si preii?" fzekl jsem, ze mam Zizen jako tram, aby mi dal sklenici prerovskeho. /nines' mne peknou sklenici s eepiekou. Eh, to chutnalo, ze v ni mad° zustalo. Pak se ptal, co zde hleclam. ze vidi, ze jsem cizi, ze asi hledam nevestu.

"MoZna 1 to, ale pozdeji. Pak pOvidam, ze zde main cleat u pani Suche, ze jsem kovar.

On povida, "oloveee, u te nevydrZite ani tYden; ta jit jich mela od Noveho roku asi pet a ZadnY se ji nelibil, neb ona snad moc porouei a male — "No vite, ze na svete" neni ten, aby se zalibil v'Sern. Motna te se mne tam bude libit."

Pak jsem dopil a kl jsem na moje nove misto. Svete, zbor se! Za tu chvili, co jsem byl , v hostinci, z moji nasta yajici pani kovarky se stala hezka tenska; mela riltove Saty a pekne ji to pasovalo. Byla to vdovieka k pomilovani.

Tak mne ptedstavila sve dceruke Kate a synkovi En-111u. Mela vAe zarizene, bylo to asi.25 mer polnosti a jak jsem to obhied', tak se rime tarn libilo. Prace tam bylo dosti. Pani rime nikdy neporoueela.

A kdyt bylo pilno, tak mne i v neeem vypomohla, ale opatrna byla. Tak jsem tarn byl jit byl asi tYde,n a eas utikal. Veeer tam chodili chiapci i deveata, a tak jsme se seznali s jinYmi hochy a deveaty, pak s jednim kolarem, kterY byl meho stari, Veeer jsme sedeli pod lipou a tarn poeitail hvezdieky, anebo katdY den se naSta nejaka taSkarina.

Jednou jsem povidal deveattim, aby neco zazpivaly. Ale na Hane neni tolik zpevu jako na Slovensku. Tam i malt. holeieka si zanotuje "Praia S'aty u Dunaje" a ty vetAi jit znaji pisne milostne; a chlapri, ti to jit zaenou "Vrt' sa, devea, okolo mna, udelej koleeko, moja galaneeko, bu-del moja, bude'S moja. I na Hanacku je nekdy veselo pri muzikach a veneekach a svadbach, ale veoer neni zpevu jako na ValaS'sku nebo na Slovacku.

Kdyt jsme sedeli pod lipou a byl krasnY veeer a priSla sousedova deveata pritlaeila se nektera, k chlapcinn, tak jgera zanotoval, "Ach, neni tu, neni,- co nine teal. " A tak ta dve yeata naklonila se &lapel na rameno a ten hoch neodolal, aby se ty d ye pusinky neseSly dohremady.

A ten usmevavY mesieek vySel z mrakft a jak uhlidal, jak se ty hubieky setkaly, radeji zakl za mraky, aby nemohl patrat.

Za tYden vedela cola vesnice, ze u pani Suche mail kovare ze Slovacka. A kdyt priSla muzika, tak se rune Kveta, ptala. jestli umim taneit. Kveta byla dcera pani Such& t.ekl jsem, te k takove muzice ja nemohu, kde nejsem pozvanY. Na Hanacku, kdyt men sedlaci veneeek nebo selskou muziku. tak tarn, kterY nebyl pozvanY, neS.el neb by nebyl vitanY. Na Slovacku to nebYvalo, tarn taneili mladi a k ptilnoci zaeali mladi tendei a ti to dodrtell at do bileho rana. A to se zpivaio "Hebejte se eitmy' moje, ja mam doma Dal jsem si jests jedno prerovske. Ono jeke dvoje". A on ten Slovak rano kl do v paru se to lepS1 jede. V tom tam prikl dvora na praci bosfr. novY host, tak hostinskY mu povida, ze tu Pi iris sobota. Veeer priSel Karel 1<olas bude novY kovar u pani Suche.
