Na mem redakenim stolku leii stale halda organu od jinych bratrskYch a sesterskYch jednot. Nestaeint je ani vSechny prohlednout. Druzi redaktori, ktere znam osobne a kteri dle ustaleneho zvyku mezi fraternalisty nazYvaji mne krestnim jmenem, posilaji mi Casopisy, abych sledoval jejich sloupce a tvalay, Dava mite to dobry prehled, jak kterY organ je vedenY. Km-rue toho jednou roene sejdou se redaktori bratrskYch prinesou s sebou sve organy, rovna.vaji je dle obsahu, vzhledu, jakosti papiru, tiskove Upravy a take moZnosti zlepseni, pokucl je to v moci redaktora.

V poslednich tkdneeh vyskytlo se nekolik navrhil na zmenu naSeho Vestniku. Vyskytla se dokonce poznamka, nak Jednota by se obeSla bez Vestniku.

Neni treba si pro podobnY vYrok skoeit do vlasit. Kandy Nen ma pravo, aby pronesi sytij nahled. Jestli se nazor nezamlouva jinym, pak je na nich, aby. opac ne stanovisko sluSnYm zptsobem nih.

Pro mne samotneho je Vestnik koniekena, snad slabou. strankou.

Rad takovou•praci konam. Jsem nesmirne vdeenY, ae shodou okolnosti bylo mne dopra.no delati prave to, v eem mam zálibu. Povahove se moZna za redaktora bratrskeho easopisu vtibec nehodim, protole rad pisi, ja.k myslim. Neni v me povaze obchazet opatrne a diplomaticky.

Rad jdu primo k jadru. Proto take vyvolavam otazku Vestniku otevrene, srozunntelne. Ale celou vec beru z hlediska neosobniho, jako bych stal mimo, jako bych pozoroval pravod, it kterem nejsem.

Kdy is p ehlizim stohy am e r i c k y c h bratrskkch organtl, vidim, ze taktka vS'echny jsou tigteny jistou firmou, kde je jednim z feditelt John Slezak, bkva13i podtajemnik z ministerstva obra.ny ye Washingtonu. Publikace maji stejnk format, stejnk papir, stejne ver giky na vypineni, stejnY tisk. Vgechny jsou v anglietine, pouze ti maji stranku nebo dve v jine keel, francouzsky, norsky, italsky. OrgAny cizojazyene, hlavne slovanskYch pocIpfunYch spolku, at' jsou tigteny polsky, ukrajinsky, rusinsky, charvatsky nebo slovensky jsou tigteny v soukromYch tiskarnach. Zathn co americke bratrske organy jsou gmahem mesieniky, publikace slovanskYch bratrskych spolkit jsou ponejvice tkdeniky.

Mezi 164 organy najdeme etyri ,Vestniky a jeden Viestnik, polskou Straz, Zgodu a Sokola, slovenskou Jednotu, slovin.skY Glas a tea Zajedniear, ukrajinskou Svobodu, ruskou Pravdu, Amarikanski I Slovenec.

Ve sti"!edu, dne 28. biTzna 1956.

Nektere z teehto slovanskYeh Zasopish jsou vlastne tydenni normy, kde jsou rozmanite zpravy tYkajici se vyhradne zajnatt lidu slovenskeho, polF,Iceho, ukrajinskeho, rusinskelto, Srbskelio nebo charvatskeho, obrazky studentu, novomanZelfl, stribrne nebo zlate svatby, vynikajiciho verejneho firednika te ktere narodnosti, profesorn, kneli, lekarft, a poclobne. VSechno je zamereno na narednostni ptivod nebo ziti..Jeden z techto organu, vyclavanY nakladem 43,000 vktiskil ma. promichany anglicke elanky a avahy s eetbou slovenskou na vSech strankach, krome predposlednich dvou stranek, ktere jsou eiste anglicke.

Kdyi prohlili'ru tyto ramie organy, vSude je znamka, Ze jsou to easopisy redni, kde hlavni Urednici maji predni misto a stale rubriky. KdyZ ten el onen spolek ma miti sjezd, je bud' celostrankove nebo ttienyna pismem otiStene aredni provolani, bud' od predsedy nebo od tajemnika, dle pravidel spolku. KdyZ je volba delegattl, je firedni upozorneni, Ze volby se provadeji dle toho ci onoho elanku stanov, Ze potierujici listiny maji na zadni strane vysvetleni, kdo nemihe bYt delegatem. KdyZ je nejaka sporna otazka, pravni rCdce nebo jiny povolanY firednik pada rozhodnuti, ktere se povaZuje za pravoplatne. MalokterY z cizojazyenYch organti otiskuje romany.

Ac i v jinYch organech je dosti osobnich dopisti a vymena nazoril, nevidint v nich Zadne dlouhe dopisy. Nekdy polovice organu ma otiSteny proslovy hlavnich Aredniku, elanky jejich, takle celY vzhled organu nekdy vyhhzi jakoby spolek ye dokoneil svilj sjezd nebo met velikou slavnost. S ' koly organisatorn, distriktni schtze a kaZda projektovana einnost je vZdy predem hodne oznamovand. Veimi znaenY dtlraz se v techto organech klade na zakladani omladipovYch klubil a na zapojeni dal do mistnich spolku. tyn organisace vydavaji dokonce dvountesieniky pro svou omladinu. V jednom spolka deti jsou v oddeleni detskem as do 18 let stall, v jinYch jsou samoainne prevadeny do oddeleni clo spelYch v kstnacti letech.

Jestli nag i eleni si budou prati, aby -tag Vestnik byl vydavan jen dvakrat za mesic, a jestli delegati by vyhoveli to-. koventu prani, bude treba upraviti Vestnik docela novYm a praktickYin zpitsobem. Za prve, na.S organ dela dojem, redaktor ma hlavni slovo. Je to nasledkern pomerti, kterY trva jiZ od doby, kdy zesnulY redaktor, bratr Jos. Tapal, pievzal vedeni Vestniku. To bylo v roce 1916. 0 etyri leta pozdeji,- aby redaktor byl chranenY pied neomalerlYmi vYbuchy clenu, sjezd v Schulenburgu v roku 1920 zavecll TiskovY vybor. Tenkrat. do vkboru byli zvoleni P. tonpal, F. J. Mika a Jos. Mikeska. TiskovY vkbor je tedy te-

A prave tim, tie v prvnich 16 letech vydavani Vestniku byl na g organ hodne ea,sto poutiivan k tomu, aby ospravedlrioval chyby pti vedeni nagi Jednoty, provedena byla v Ennis v rote 1932 radikalni zinena: Vestnik se dal jinemu redaktoru, bratru Mouekovi, tiskarna ptestala bYti majetkem ritednika a redaktora, a sink. Vestniku se zasadne zmenil. Hlavni firednici prestali poutiivat Vestnik a redaktor si vedl organ samostatne, hodne po svem, dle sveho naZOT11.

Budu re piimlouvati, aby tato situace byla opravena a zlep gena. Na prvnim miste redaktor Vestniku nerna bYti v jednom miste, risttedna v jinem miste a tiskarna v ttetim mnste. Z technickych duvodu nelze miti tiskarnu tam, kde je Ustredna. Neni to pro gatim myslitelne a prakticke. Mame daleko chiletiitejgi problemy ne g vYcvik sazeet, tiskatt, lamaefi, oznamkaft, expediterti, z amaterfi delat odborniky. Ale je myslitelne prakticke, aby budouci redaktor byl ptimo v ristredi. Tim by katide 'Oslo Vestniku dostalo docela jinY, lep gi, Medni raz, vice spra y a clanku od hlavnich eastej gi ptispe yky a informace od tech, kdo Jednotu vedou, a take mane pokynii a pobizeni od redaktora, tie to el ono bylo by tiadouci. Takove poznamky, kterYch si i hlavni ritednici nebyly by vice povatiovany, ge jsou namiteny na ne. Byly by nahrazeny novinkami, co se jiti zavedlo. Mimo libovolnYch elankt, ktere nyni redaktor musi miti k vypineni mista, kdy g neni ritednich spray dostaly by se .do Vestniku proslovy na gich hlavnich ritednika, jejich myglenky vyslovene v poradnich schrizich nebo jen v nahodilem rozhovoru. Vestnik by se stal spolkovYm zrcadlem. Zachytilo by se v gechno, co se hYbe v kancelatich mezi fttedniky, co se planuje pro mlade g, co se podnika v organisaani einnosti, co bude zitra nebo za mesic u ne'ktereho radu nebo v distriktu. Dnes redaktor musi psati, co mu pkijde na mysl. Je odkazan sam na sebe. Chce-li nejake informace, musi o ne dopsati. Stale psani a dotiebravani se omrzi bud' jednomu nebo druhemu. A kdyg nikam redaktor nejde, tak nic nevidi, o nidem neslygi. Na redakenim stol• ku letii halda cizich organri, z nichti taha sva rozumy. Misto Otani o praci v cizich jednotach on ma bYt tam, kde je srdce nazi Jednoty. Pak by Vestnik byl organem.

Informace z prvni ruky, bud' od redaktora v blizkosti fitednika nebo od samotnYch fitednika, by udelalo na g Vestnik lepgim spolkovYm organem. Pravideln.e rubriky a zpravy Utednikil. Je starer zkugenost, tie Clo y& roste psanim. ZadnY

V to veci mohl by byti redaktor pomocnikem, kdo by si toho v Astredi pral, at' uZ ye slohu, v eeskem pravopisu nebo v anglicke gramatice.

Redaktor ma, bYt pomocna literarni, propagaeni a zpravodajska sila. Jinak je to preplaceny pisalek, kterY jde jinym na nervy.

Vezmeme v nvahu dalAi piedpoklad, nag e Jednota se obejde bez Vestniku.

Kdybychom rireli vyborne sorganisovane mistni rady, kde by schfize se konaly bud' tYdne, jak tomu u nekterYch bratrskYch spolku, anebo aspori dvakrat za mesic, snad bychom mohli upustit od yydavani nakladneho organu. Nemluvim do vetru. Parnatuji se, tie sam jsem navgtevoval schrize jisteho spolku katiclY tyden, a vynechal jsem do roka jen dye, schtize. Nebyl to ov gem mistni tad SPJST. My vgak nemame na ge tadove schfize tak zarizene, abychom se nav gteyou schazi mobil pochlubit. Ndm scherzi hodne, take nekdy nedostaneme Cleny ani do vyroeni schfize. A kdyti nername styk osobni, musime ho nahradit pomoci organu. Take to je pochybne v mnoha picipadech. Ale je to uti mezi nagimi navyk, :=4e prece jednou tYdne sahnou po organu, zbetine ho prolistuji, zastavi oeima zde nebo 'onde, a neat) z einnosti SPJST jim zfistane v mysli. Zde bude na ptani samotnYch Menu, zdali dodavka Vestniku ma bYti tYdenni, dvakrat do mesice nebo jen jednou za mesic.

Kdyi by Vestnik byl vydavan jen dvakrat nebo jednou mesiene, latka by musela bYti rozvrZena docela jinak. Nebyl by to vice easopis rodinnY, kde by bylo misto pro soukrome dopisy razu osobniho, ani pro cestopisy, ale jen pro zpravy spolkove a oznameni ritedni. Vestnik by musel bYti jedine pro zajmy SPJST.

Bratti a sestry: Jak je yam znamo, na g tad Vesela Osada dislo 147 bude poradat schfizi sedmeho distriktu v nedeli 15. dubna 1956 zde v sini zva.ne "H—H". Tuto mistnost kaZdY najde velice lehko. Jak pojedete po hlavni ceste pies Jourdanton, za poslednim vYstraZnYna svetlem pro jizdu, nebo jak Pikame "blinking light," stoete se na praYou stranu, a tam prijedete a2 k to sini

Bratr eerily narodil se jako synek tvrpracujicich rodieu na fume ye Wallis, Texas. Tehdy domnival se jeho otec, ze malt' Karlik jednou farmu ptevezme, aby pokradeval v dile sveho otce. Jak uZ to ale byva, osud tomu chtel jinak.

KdyZ bratru Cernemu bylo 5 ron, jeho otec opustil iarmu a stal se ye Wallis velmi oblibenYin obchodnikem. Tim byla tea preduroena cela budoucnost rodiny, ptedevgim nactejneho synka Karlika.

Nadan po tatinkovi, se sklony pro obchod, po ukoneenem gkolnim vzdelani bratr Cerny byl zamestnan v bance ye Wallis, pti demZ se stale vzdelaval a vaimal si olochodniho s yeta. JH tehdy naSel zyla gtril zalibu v pojigt'ovani vSeho druhu a tak mimo svoje povolani v bance venoval se rad tomuto veimi zajimavemu oboru obchodniho podnikani.

Nehledal v torn obZivu, byl to jeho konieek, ktery pozdeji oblibil si tak, ae stal se jeho hlavnim zamestnanim.

KdyZ se pozdeji odstehoval bratr derIV do Houstonu, venoval se vYhradne pojigt'ovani. obchodu s pozemky a zprosttedkovant nypoteenich ptijeek. DlouholetYm pa ,,obenim ziskal bohate zkugenosti a vlastni zasluhou dopracoval se zavideniliocineho majetku. Slu gi dodati, ae pr y ve bratr Cerny byl naai Hlavni ntadovnou ustanoven jako prvni zprosttedkovatel pujeek na pozemky a za sveho pusobeni zprosttedkoval pro SP JST as na $2,000.000 ptrieek. VYkon jiste fictyhodnY a neni sport" o torn, ze poznatky z ka2deho jednotliveho ,ptipadu jsou pro bratra Cerneho velmi cenne.

Zveme Pad Dobrotu eislo 87 a rad La Parita 'Oslo 161, i v gechny ostatni tady, ktere patti k sedmeinu distriktu. Nebudu je vgechny jmenovat, neb ani nevim, ktere do sedmeho distriktu TeZ zveme piedsedu z Hlavni Madovny, aby ptijel a yysvetlil, jak se hospodati v Hlavni ittadovne. TeZ aby pokladnik z Hlavni fitadovny dojel a povedel nam neco o tom milionku, anebo aby nam neco z neho dovezl.

Take bychom tu radi uvideli redaktora Valeika a keditele i od druhYch At' dojedou, mohou nam povedet, co oni ujednali v jejich schtzich.

Radi bychom se dozvedeli, koliki od ktereho tadu mini tuto schuzi nav gtivit, abychom se podle toho mohli pripravit.

Ale protole Panloth nema rad zhnile lidi, tak udelal muchy, aby na neho lezly a on se musel ohanet.

A kdyby se neohanel, tak by tam taky zhnil." Proto jsem pod vrbou nikdy nespal, ale tak koSatY dub nebo jasan, hru g -kanebotdCh ylonecjih,aWon byla dobra.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR A TIMELY SUGGESTION CAME from Brother Ed Snapka, of Mt. Calm, in the meeting of District Three held in November last year. He suggested that since every officer of the Supreme Lodge is obligated to publish his report to the delegates at least three months before the convention, the editor of the Iiestnik should likewise prepare a similar report. Looking at the calendar, I realized all of a sudden that the convention is less than three months off.

IT MAY BE SAID THAT A REPORT from the editor is not needed. It may be pointed out that his report goes to the delegates every week, fifty-two times a year. On the other hand, some of the delegates don't read the Vestnik.

Others, even if they do read it, forget most of it, and would prefer to get a report of the editor in a capsule form, highly concentrated. I'll take the middle road. I won't recount how many readers I have satisfied in the last four years; neither will I say how many typewriter ribbons I have changed, but I shall say something about the work of the editor of the Vestnik.

EIGHT YEARS AGO, THE VESTNIK was to have an English section. At that time, I was attending—in spare time, every evening—University of Houston working toward a master's degree, Magister Literarum, Master of Letters. I thought that the position of associate editor would supplement my study and would fit into the pattern of my mental activity. I applied for it and I was fortunate to be selected. It was my ambition to bring to the members something worth while. * YEAR AND A HALF LATER CAME the sickness of Brother Moucka, the Czech editor. He could not work. I pinch-hit for him, and after his death I was asked to take over. Then the delegates at the Houston convention elected me to run both, sections. I accepted the obligation to bring to the SPJST membership an official paper which would be for all the members, but also a paper which would stand for something, had some sort of backbone,

DURING THESE LAST SIX YEARS, since Brother Moucka's illness and death, I have spent every waking hour, and every thought to fulfill my obligations and my avowed purposes. I have had no vacation and no respite from the constancy of giving the SPJST members what I had promised. There was never in my mind any thought of counting how many hours a day I happened to sit at my typewriter. If I couldn't get in the mood of creative writing, I reached for books or magazines to absorb more information. When I started to write, it was with a dedication to the fraternal editor's creed and a love for the SPJST. I had no personal axes to grind, only interested in the improvements of the SPJST. THE COMPLEXION OF THE ENTIRE fraternal field has been changing in the last fifteen, twenty years. With the changes have come new problems and growing pains. I have looked forward in aiding this growth in our own SPJST, and, in fact, I have been instrumental in the decisions of the Supreme Lodge to adopt some of the vital improvements. Other improvements have been discussed, the positive, forward-looking plans have been outlined, but they have to wait until the urgency of the betterment will revive the plans. * * A FRATERNAL PUBLICATION IS A singularly peculiar type of newspaper which defies the un.derstanding of most members. Its success and usefulness demands a close-knit team of experts, flexible and unyielding at the same time. You do not make mistakes because of financial loss. You don't ruin yourself financially by running a fraternal paper. You ruin your membership, if you don't do good. You stay "on the ball" all the time, and ahead of developments, even ahead of the wishes of the members. You see in four directions at once. You are curious about everything, but not suspicious, following the spirit of benevolence and brotherhood for worthy causes, and also keeping a close check on those operations of the SPJST which you believe could, be improved or might be done

more efficiently.

THE WORK OF FRATERNAL EDItor is misunderstood by many SPJST members. If a preacher doesn't preach, the people say that he missed his calling. If a teacher 'doesn't instruct, he is no good. If . an editor "sticks his neck out," he must be ready to accept both praise and abuse. And if he sticks strictly to those principles which he believes in, some members say that he is disrupting the harmony in the association, and others say that he is defending the best interest of the society. But it doesn't matter, it shouldn't matter, with the editor. What counts more than anything else is the fact that, in spite of the unpopularity of outspoken editor, the membership have faith in the organization and in the management of the SPJST as a whole.

• • AFTER TELLING YOU WHAT I HAVE tried to do, let me also mention what I believe we should , do in the future.

The SPJST has a great story to tell, story which the local lodges, their interested members, and the Supreme Lodge members already know, but with which the general public is only slightly acquainted. It is the duty of the Vestnik to bring the story of fraternalism closer to some of our own members and also to the favorable attention of the nonmembers. The work of the editor of the Vestnik should be broadened in the future. He should be a "fraternal director of publicity." He should use not only the Vestnik but also other convenient and acceptable media of publicity that are easily available: A newspaper, such as the Vestnik, is only one way to advertise the SPJST. The other means are radio, television, moving pictures, pictorial brochures, leaflets, and public programs.

WE SHOULD SEEK EVERY AVAILable method of telling, over and over again, our story of protection and of service. To do it, the editor must have the support of many willing helpers from local lodges, from districts, and from the headquarters. The editor alone cannot do it.

HARD WORK DOES IT ..<

(By H. B. Walker)

There is a notion abroad that progess in business or profession depends on whom you know. At least one young man struggling through college put it that way. He said his grades were riot "anything to write home about," but he went on, "It really doesn't matter.

If• you know the right people and have a pleasing personality, you can go places."

To be sure, knowing the "right people" can help, and a pleasing personality is worth having. It should be noted, h o wever, that sooner or later even the rig ht people discover the difference between cream and skimmed milk. What 1.-; more, no matter how pleasing the personality, there is no substitute for hard work.

Willy, whose saga was played , out in "The Death of a Salesman," knew the right people. He was proud of it. He had a personality, too. He worked it overtime on everybody he met, including his own sons. But somehow the right people failed him and his personality turned out to be mostly fizz and froth.

He ended a suicide because he could not stand either himself or his failure.

On the other hand, Thomas Edison never knew the right people until knowing the right people did not matter. His personality was more or less on the negative side, The only thing he had that really mattered was the will to work. It was enough to see him through bad times and good. When the going was difficult, it never occurred to him to turn on the charm to the right people. He simply worked harder.

Sometimes I am inclined to suspect that a mission dollar personality is a disadvantage. A preacher friend of mine has what I would call a million dollar personality. He can turn on fifty or c. hundred watts of charm, depending on what the occasion demands. He literally sparkles when he needs to sparl; Ie. Unfortunately, his sermons and speeches reveal more charm than knowledge, more personality than real conviction. He gets by on his personality, and spends too little time digging in his study for the truths that make men free and good. :Last summer two carpenters spent a day install i ng a picture window in my summer--study. One of them had personality; the other had skill. Both of them left their marks on my study.

After they had left, I spent a couple of days doing over the work of the per-

SIX AND ONE-FOURTH PER CENT Editor Vestnik: If there are 400,000 Czechs in Texas, and only 25,000 belong, it means that only six and a quarter per cent belong to the SPJST. Why so few? And under what classification the four hundred thousand come? They must be the children born through intermarriages and, worst, of all, we have lost them forever.

Someone has been asleep at the switch.

Here in Wichita Falls is a small Czech population, lodge adult membership about thirty, yet there are some one hundred and fifty people living here that are of Czech descent. I am guessing that there are five thousand or more of these people living in Dallas.

How about Houston and other places?

Our fault is and has been, we want business from old folks and babies. But how about the thirty and forty-yearolds? We have been telling our members that we must be Czech and that in America. the youth does not hear such teachings. Another fault we have, we want something cheap and when we are asked to donate to a Czech cause, we look for a slick dime, instead of folding money.

We hire our officers at a niggardly salary. Look around and see if your County Commissioners don't get more pay than our Supreme President. My County Commissioner gets about seventy-five hundred a year and, as in your county, there are four Commissioners. Would you for one minute say that the Commissioners' responsibility was greater than our Supreme President?

And, again, any country bank president makes more, draws his salary and trades on the side. Really what can we expect? What we need is a man to head our organization who is worth at least fifteen thousand dollars.

We need to advertise not just in the Vestnik, but in all Czech papers; go on the air with Czech music, something like "Adolph and His Boys," which was broadcast from Schulenburg several years ago. Everyone likes good music.

In this way we would get to those that are drifting away. Then have live salesmen to follow up.

Just recently I saw an ad, two-page, of an Eastern life insurance company telling the public and giving the names of those that sold more than a million dollars' worth of insurance for the year 1955. The cost of these ads is about fifteen thousand dollars per page. If it didn't pay, these big companies certainly would not advertise.

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES CESKY FRAPOR LODGE NO. 24 CYCLONE Rogers, Texas Dear Sisters and Brothers: At this time I want to make an important announcement that our Lodge will not have a meeting on the first Sunday, April 1, as planned.

Then there was a suggestion made that we sell the back part of land belonging to the Lodge, if we would get a good price for it. Again it's up to you to decide if we want to sell and what would be a good price.

Then there are few more things that will come up for discussion in the meeting. So be sure to come to our next meeting and don't be afraid to speak up and give your ideas.

Edward L. Korenek, a member of Lodge 92, was killed in a crash near Stephenville on highway 377 on his way to Fort Worth, to spend a weekend at home.

A newspaper clipping, mailed by Sister Juran, describes the tragedy briefly: Two North Side men, inseparable since boyhood, have been parted by death.

Edward L. Korenek, 26, and Thomas E. Tomlinson, 25, grew up together, graduated together from North Side High.

Both went to work for the phone company at Fort Stockton. They were linemen, in the same crew.

Friday after work, they set out for a weekend at home.

The victims' car crashed into a bridge on U. S. Highway 377 seven miles northeast of Stephenville. Both men were linemen for Southwestern Bell.

Korenek, a graduate of North Side School, was a. veteran of the Korean war. He received the Korean medal and a Bronze Star with two Oak Leaf clusters and a unit citation.

He had been a Southwestern Bell employe for six years.

Korenek is survived by his mother, Mrs. Rose Marie Korenek of Fort Worth; two brothers, Clarence E. of Fort Worth and Leon A. Korenek of Arlington, and a sister, Mrs. James W. Powolny of Fort Worth.

According to Sister Juran's report, the entire Korenek family belong to the SPJST. Our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.

In the Degree of Honor the preparation of this vital guide is one of the most important events of the year. The success of the lodge depends on the definite plans and goals made for the year.

It is undoubtedly helpful that in this society the incoming local president is automatically also the chairman of the Program Committee, The election of officers in the subordinate lodges takes place at the first meeting in December.

The president-elect then makes the choice of the members of the Program Committee and has plans made in advance in the preparation of the program. Assistance and suggestions are available from the National President when desired. A special model program has been prepared for the purpose of calling attention to the sort of events which are most suitable.

The important material for the local yearbook are the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all officers, complete listing of dates of meetings, activities and committees in charge of entertainment and refreshments; complete listing of all executive meetings of the year, giving date, time and subject to be discussed, location, etc.; complete listing of all junior meetings and activities, with name and telephone number of the junior director and assistant and listing the committee from the adult lodge to assist at each meeting; information on State Conventions, District Conventions and Rallies to be held during the year; list of all com-

Wife Insurance In most families (and I know it's true in ours), Mother is a "many splendored thing." She's a combination purchasing agent, practical nurse, bookkeeper, secretary, licusekeeper, chef, and usually the boss.

But above all, she's Mother to our kids. She has that gentle understand-' ing of their problems that can be found, in no other person.

Isn't it true that we fathers often take Mother for granted? Isn't it true' that her influence and control in th.e. home will determine just how well Our children will face the future?

But the very fact that we often takt her for granted may force her to become a "part-time" -Mother if anything happens to us. The danger is that we may not prOVide enough monthly income for her to be able to stay home with the children diming their growing up years. It may be necessary for her to find a job—in addition to that of rearing her family.

All of us, who are selling life insurance for the SPJ,ST, should also sell ; it for our own need, so that the Mothers of our children always would be able to stay at home and take care of the children. That's what the SPJST insurance should be for. ) DELAYED DECISION During an interview after we haVe proposed an insurance plan that will solve the problem, you no doubt usual,ly pause and wait for an answer. BUt what if he says, "No, not today"? Do you pick up your books and leave for fear he will think you are a high prey-. sure salesman?

There are lots of old men, widoWs, and orphan children who today point an accusing finger at the insurance agent who left their home after the first "no." Today they have little re-, spect for him as a life insurance coupT selor. Actually they only meant "may.be." But now it is too late. For the rest of their lives, they will be paying for the life insurance they didn't buy.

When you have proved that you haye the solution to his problem, how can you dare to leave his home and family without finding out why he put you off?

Doesn't your heart and conscience, out of sense of duty, tell you to stay? So, ask him if it is absolutely necessary that he delay his important decision.

When you uncover the reason for his hesitancy, you will find, in most cases, it is a minor one that can be easily overcome.—George V. Krampien.

UNDERGROUND WONDERLAND Of all the scenic attractions that give New Mexico its claim to the title of "The Land of Enchantment," none is more impressive than the renowned Carlsbad Caverns.

Carved deep into the limestone foothills of southeastern New Mexico's Guadalupe Mountains, this awe-inspiring labyrinth of connecting caverns easily ranks as one of the outstanding natural wonders of the world. The, sheer magnitude of its great corridors and vaulted chambers is enough to stagger the imagination. But equally impressive is the unearthly beauty of its natural decorations.

Seven million people have visited this subterranean,fantasyland since the National Park' Service took, over the cave's operation some 32 .years ago. It is unlikely that anyone has been disappointed in what.hp saw there, Even now nobody knows the full extent of the caverns, although more than 23 miles of passages have been explored, penetrating at one point to a depth of 1,100 feet below the surface. Obviously that is just too much cave for a visitor to see on a normal sightseeing trip.

Consequently the National Park Service confines its conducted tours to about three miles of walkways through the more accessible area. This includes the mile-long Main Corridor and several of the scenic chambers.

Largest of these subterranean chambers, and the main attraction for most of the cavern visitors, is the "Big Room."

It lies 750 feet below the surface and is of such tremendous proportions that the path around its perimeter measures one and a quarter miles. The ceiling, at one point, soars 285 feet above the stalagmite-studded floor.

As if conscious of the enchanting possibilities of this vast room, Nature has outdone herself to decorate it with colorful and intriguing formations. Here are found the most famous and bestremembered features of Carlsbad Caverns: the majestic Rock of Ages, the yawning abyss of the Bottomless Pit, lovely Mirror Lake, the moist and shining Crystal Spring Dome, the massive Giant Dome, and countless other unforgettable sights.

If he wishes, the visitor can see the Big Room without taking the long walk down from the mouth of the cave. An elevator will lower him quickly to the 750 -foot level where he can join one of the parties for the tour of the Big Room. He can then return to the surface by elevator.

Most people, howeverprefer the more

extensive "walk-in" trip which takes in all of the developed areas of the cave , and requires about four hours to complete. Accompanied by National Park Service guides, the walk-in parties follow the great natural entrance, past the forbidding black mouth of the Bat Cave, and doubles back down the rockstrewn floor of the tremendous Main Corridor. The path skirts gigantic fragments of rock which fell from the ceiling thousands of years ago.

Six hundred feet below the surface, and nearly ,: a mile from the cave entrance, the, party comes to the largest of these fallen rocks. Estimated to weigh 100,000 tons, it is called "Iceberg Rock" because of its shape. Here the guides sometimes halt the party and turn out all the lights for a few seconds. It is an eerie, spine-chilling experience that none' can forgetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and few care to repeat.

At the foot of the Main Corridor, just beyond Iceberg Rock, the visitors come to the first of a series of startlingly beautiful underground chambers. Invariably, 'subdued exclamations of delight ripple through the party as the file passes slowly through the Green Lake Room, the King's Palace, the Queen's Chamber, and the Papoose Room. In the -King's Palace the visitors reach the lowest level on the tour, 829 feet below the surface.

From here the path turns sharply upward and the party puffs up "Appetite Hill" to the great lunchroom area on the 750-foot level. This remarkable underground center is somewhat amazing in itself. It contains complete facilities for feeding one thousand people an hour. Nearby are modern rest rooms, drinking fountains (with water piped in from the surface), souvenir stands and the gleaming tile foyer for the elevators. Like all the developed areas of the caverns, this vast natural room is well illuminated with cleverly concealed electric lights. And, as elsewhere throughout the cave, the temperature here remains a comfortable 56 degrees winter and summer.

f not even a path into the mouth of the cave. Visitors had to be lowered in a metal bucket through a,shaft cut into the Bat Cave. They had to take their own lunches and collect drinking water from the cave's drippings. It is no wonder that only 1,876 people visited the cave in 1924, the first full year of its operation as a National Monument.

Since 1930 however, when the Carlsbad Caverns National Park was estab2 lished, improvements and visitors have increased at a steady pace. For the past few years annual attendance at the cave has averaged about half a million people. On at least two occasions, more than 7,000 visitors have toured the caverns in a single day.

This volume of visitors would be virtually impossible to handle without elevators. The first two-car elevator shaft was completed in 1931, and in June of last year two additional cars were put into service in a new shaft. With four cars in operation, cave visitors can be whisked to the surface at the rate of 1,400 people an hour. There is no extra charge for the elevator service.

But with all the improvements that have been made in the park above and below ground, every possible care has been 'taken to preserve the caverns in their natural state. Except for the electric lighting and the paved pathways, visitors today see the cave's amazing beauties exactly as they appeared to Jim White, the intrepid young cowboy who first explored the deeper reaches of the caverns soon after the turn of the century.

It was the bat flights which first attracted Jim White's attention to the cave, and which still fascinate hundreds of interested visitors each summer evening. These bats, numbering sometimes in the millions, live in the cave during the warm months and migrate to the south with the coming of frost. During the daylight hours they sleep, hanging upside down from the ceiling and walls of the great Bat Cave. As the sun goes down each evening, the tiny winged creatures start swirling out of the cave in a huge spiraling cloud which grows denser by the minute. Once in the open air above the mouth of the cavern, the mass disintegrates into individual bats who scatter in all directions to feed on insects. Just before dawn, they return to dart quickly into the cave for another day of sleep.

After a 40-minute lunch stop the guided tour continues .along the 1 1/4 mile path through the Big Room. Most visitors are then ready for the swift elevator ride to the surface.

The cavern trip is a lot easier for visitors now than in 1923 when the National Park Service first took over operation of the cave as a National MonMost visitork to Carlsbad Cfavern1 ument.

INCOME TAX AND TAX INFORMERS Tax informing, a quaint American sport, 'seems to grow in popularity every time an income tax instalment is due. Internal revenue offices in big cities like New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Los Angeles are deluged by as many as 250 mail and phone tips every day. Like the stoolpigeons who operate behind the scenes to solve crimes for poliCe and district attorneys, the tax informer is internal revenue's most lethal 'secret weapon and a prime reason why it pays to be honest with your Uncle Sam. Tax informing pays off for the government—over: the years. Uncle Sam has collected $65 million as a result .Of tips. It also pays off for the tattleale—the government apprOpriates $500,000 each Year as reward . Money.

An informer can get up to 10 per cent of 'the taxes collected. The biggest such reward in history—$79,999.90—was paid out to a foursome of exeniployees of a large corporation which had set up phony' holding companies to evade millions: in taxes. The smallest—$2.29— Went to a woman who didn't like her pitimber and discovered he'd secretly scat' it few pipes for cash.

Who are the tax informers? They are neighbors, maids, butlers, bookkeepers, accountants, lawyers, exwives, jilted Sweethearts, tenants, business competitOrs,. inlaws, and waiters with big ears.

Their motives run the gamut of human unotiL nes—revenge, jealousy, greed, spite and d.zens of others.

A tridegroom who was made an executive of his father-in-law's taxicab firm got sore when he couldn't get a partnership and blew the whistle on his: pa-in-law's undeclared income. A waiter, irate over the grubby tips a noted financier doled out to him, heard the,/man talking about secret cash deposits and ran to the nearest internal revenue office. lovelorn dental assistant who had remained loyal to her dentist employer . even when he married and divorced fir other women finally decided she'd had' it when she saw his will and disc:n ye:red she was in for only $200. She tiilleil a loud carol about bank accounts riiitinLined under false names and the ta..x men moved in for a $20,000 kill.

A woman who felt her doctor had failed to treat her properly for an intestinal disorder kept watch outside his Office for weeks and made a careful count of his patients. She then turned in her report to the Tax Bureau which discovered the physician had seriously

belittled his practice on his annual return.

Alcohol is an important ally of the informer and the tax collector. "The fellow who's had one too many and starts bragging about how he's fooled the government doesn't realize there may be a lot of amateur collectors listening," a veteran tax agent points out.

Not all of these "collectors" are looking for rewards. Some turn in reports for reasons of patriotism or simply because they, feel "I paid my taxes, so why should he, get away with it?"

The Treasury # of course, doesn't bother to analyze motives, good or bad, for informing. "People who bring in valid information about tax evaders are helping the country and that's all we're interested in," says the commissioner of Internal Revenue.

Tax officials make it clear, however, that informers can't use them to settle personal feuds or serve as a private detective agency. One woman dropped into the Seattle office ostensibly to inform on her tax-dodging husband.

"When you catch up to him, let me know, because I want to slap him with a summons," she said. When she was told that tax investigations are conducted in secret and that even if her missing spouse were found she wouldn't be given his address, she stalked out in a huff.

pay off unless you supply specific information and details.

Rewards for legitimate informers' tips sometimes carry their own curse. A payroll clerk who collected $2,000 for tattling on his boss not only got fired but couldn't get steady work again. The boss followed him from job to job, notifying each new employer they were hiring a sneak.

The prize example, however, is a woman who worked for many years as bookkeeper in a large electrical company. ,She quit when she couldn't get a raise, tattled about the double set of books the company maintained and got a $15,000 reward.

Two years later, she herself was haled intoecourt. She had neglected to report a substantial private income on her own tax returns and had failed to report her reward money as income. Fines and penalties cost her more than the $15,000 Uncle Sam had given her and she had to spend 90 days in jail.

The moral of all this seems to be: If you're an informer who really wants to help your government, Uncle Sam will be grateful and: generous. But if you're completely without principle and try to play both ends against the middle, sooner or later you'll be caught in a squeeze. ) e4e MEN ARE FOUR

From time to time people have tried —unsuccessfully—to make tax informing a profession. A bookkeeper got so enthused over a $500 reward he began changing jobs every few months, staying just long enough in each place to rifle through back accounts, vouchers, and petty cash books. Instead of getting more rewards, he nearly went to jail.

He who knows not, and knows not he knows not—he is a fool—shun him.

He who knows not, and knows he knows not—he is a child---trust him.

He who knows, and knows not he knows—he is asleep—wake him.

He who knows, and knows he knows —he is wise—follow him.

—Arabian Proverb.

• 4. • (

One man spent months hanging around the race tracks on the theory that he'd find schemers and evaders in every stall. He tiled reams of information about famous horsemen, breeders and jockeys but when the tax men found he was simply lifting and distorting gossip items from the racing sheets he was told to peddle his papers elsewhere.

AMERICA'S PERMANENT DEEP FREEZE An interesting and unique proposal is now being suggested by Admiral Richard E. Byrd, who is now on his fifth mission to the Antarctic. It may do away with our farm surplus problem, be of tremendous financial savings, and also be a perpetual insurance against hunger.

The article, which follows, appeared in the Washington Evening Star magazine. In it, Admiral Byrd discusses the economic significance of the Antarctic as an untouched reservoir of natural resources. Here are his words: There is one very practical use to which we could put the Antarctic. In my opinion it would be entirely feasible to employ the Antarctic as a vast freezer •where we could store the enormous food surpluses we now have in this country.

I offer this plan for discussion, knowing that it presents legal and practical problems which have to be solved. It, of course, reflects my personal views and does not necessarily represent the views of the Department of Defense or any other Government agency.

Today our storage facilities are adequate—but barely adequate. And quite possibly there may come a day when the Government will decide to stockpile much more food against the possibility of military or natural disasters.

Also such a stockpile could be made available through the years to any other country hit by famine or disaster.

Actually the solution of the problem of what to do with surplus food is important to our economy and to the world's general welfare. In the fiscal year of 1955, the United States Government spent $332,929,579 to store surplus foods in warehouses in this country.

Many more millions are spent annually to hold down the rate of food production. Our warehousing facilities, especially for food requiring refrigeration, are taxed to capacity, and we may soon be faced with the necessity of spending more millions to build more storage plants.

This may be a needless waste because Antartica is an uncomplicated, unlimited freezer, as scientifically perfect as you could ask. In 1934 on my second expedition, we dug down to a Little America but where we found some food that had been left on the table when the first expedition departed in early 1930. The food had been there for almost five years. There was part of a roast beef, potatoes, bread, butter, and other foods. We unfroze them and had a fine meal. The roast beef was prob-

ably as good as the day it was cooked.

In 1947, on our fourth expedition, we again had an adequate meal of food we tdok. to Little America in December 1928. On the same expedition a group of men came upon a cache of kippered herrings and biscuits which had been left at Shackleton's old 'base on his 1914 expedition, and the men who ate that 33-year-old food reported it was in perfectly good condition.'

Food deterioration and bacteriological activity work hand in hand. Dr. Paul A. Siple, who has been with me on all my expeditions to the Antarctic, made a study of tlie amount of bacterial life present in the snow. He came up with the startling result that, on an average, there is only one bactermmi per pint of snow. In its frozen state these bacteria teria would have been complete inactive. When you consider that there are millions, perhaps billions of bacteria in a pint of the water which we use in our refrigeration warehouses, you can see why the Antarctic is a vastly superior icebox.

Below the snow line, as far south as Little America, temperatures never get above freezing. Contrary. to popular belief, the temperature within the Antarctic Circle averages above 40 degrees colder than in the areas within the Arctic Circle. During my solitary winter vigil at Advance Base in 1934, I succeeded in recording a temperature of 83 degrees below zero.

It is this consistently cold climate, plus the presence of neve, that makes the Antarctic so ideal for food storage.

Neve, which covers Antartica, is partly ice, partly snow, a granular substance that crumbles in your hand and doesn't pack into a snowball. It is an ideal cover for foodstuffs, for it does not pack down and become a crushing force.

As far as the physical process of storing the food is concerned, the Navy has a piece of equipment which would be ideal for the job. It is a machine that digs a continuous trench in the snow. In one day it can dig a trench 12 feet wide, a half mile long and six feet or more in depth. Equipment for unloading and loading the food is also available or could easily be adapted from existing devices. The Navy's Flying Fox is a mechanically driven loop of rape that could automatically haul the food along the trenches and deposit it wherever desired. Wheat and other grain could be blown into the trenches thru air tubes. Winds would take care of covering the trenches with neve.

As you can see, the cost of storing the foods would be negligible. The Only big expense in connection with the project would be the transportation of the food from the United States to the Antarctic Continent. Some of the food could possibly be hauled by Navy transports, some of it could be let out to private shipping concerns. But let's lust see how expensive an operation this would be.

We have now for example, al piprb. 7. imately 280 million pounds of s,urplus butter in storage, with an estimated: value of $175 million. The Government pa id $8,500,000 for the storage of butter in 1955. The . United Fruit Go. estimates it could lulul all this butter in 35 refrigerated ships, at a cost , something like $250,000 a ship. ThiS adds up to $8,750,000 which is slightly more than the Government spends in..ofic year to store that butter in this country.

When you consider that once the bUtter is put underground at Antarcticatheret are no charges on it for the fir or ten years it may remain there, yctu W* appreciate why I feel that the Antarti4 freezer proposal at least warrants.Sez' rious consideration. The cost of trans porting other foodstuffs, as compared to the cost of storing them in the .t.T,0 ed states, follows the butter exarnpiql Last year it cost the Government, $185 million to store wheat, $54 million to store corn, $6 million to store cheese; $13 million to store barley. Altogether, we have almost $6 billion worth 0,f, spY7 U plus crops in storage in the United States, and we are paying a whOpping annual fee for their upkeep.

I have already discussed this proposal with some Congressmen and Govern., ment officials, and they have all shown interest in its possibilities. I intendito recommend to the National Security Coumil that we undertake the riedes-! sary scientific and economic inveStiga4 tions preliminary to such a program.

During my current expedition t416tartica, my associates and I will continue our research on the subject. Among other things, we plan to bury a ca.e'M of 100 loaves of bread; every year.rOirer the next 100 years, one loaf will be,,:cilp up and examined for flavor, nu,.'ient, vitamin content, and other factors. VVe, won't be here to finish the experiMea, but our great grandchildren will.

It is my strong conviction that if rwe could create a permanent icebox for our food surpluses in Antartica, it would (Continued on page 20.)

Son-In-Law" Life Insurance Son-in-law insurance makes a strong appeal to grandfathers. They will quickly agree, once it is pointed out to them, that should the son-in-law die, the young widow might come tripping back with her children to her father's house.

Few fathers need to be reminded that to undertake to maintain a living for a widowed daughter and her children may, and very likely will, raise havoc with any father's plans for his own later years when he may want to take things easy, if not retire altogether.

To put it bluntly, it is a lot easier to pay a premium out of earnings each year for insurance on the life of a daughter's husband than to face the alternative of providing food, shelter, clothing, and a lot of other things for the surviving family of the daughter's husband.

"Mr. Grandfather,' we can say, "if your daughter Helen found it necessary to come back with her two children to live with you, would your economic equilibrium be upset? Would their coming for an indeterminate stay make any difference with your personal plans?

It is as simple as that.

Just within the past year. I have had a death claim involving "son-in-law' insurance. The young father was killed in an accident. Just a few years ago his father-in-law had bought a $20,000 20-pay Family Income on the young man's life. Now the widow and her three small children will have a total of $56,400 from that insurance policy. It is easy to see that that little family will always be welcome visitors, rather than permanent "guestss" in the grandparents' home.

Grandfather prospects for such plans are all about us, and the nice thing about them is that they generally have the money with which to pay the premiums.—Earle W. Brailey, CUT, The Insurance Salesman. )• •( —

America's Permanent Deep Freeze (Continued from page 10.) not only save us much money and take pressure off the entire problem of surpluses, but it would also turn out to be a great act of international good will.

This is one of several reasons why I believe the Antartica is important to our national future and to the whole of mankind.

Rogers, Teri HIDEOUS HUM Few in5ignificant things in life are more digiraying than that helpless state of consternation you feel when an unseen mosquito "buzzes" you at night from one side of your pillow to the other in a war of nerves that long antedated the dive bomber. Do you wonder why the mosquito's attack begins with a buzz? Because the mosquito's wings vibrate as it poises in the air before picking out the preferred point of attack. In the swift, airplanelike phase of its flight the mosquito is silent. Only when it sustains itself in one spot like a helicopter or hummingbird does it give out what one poet called "your hideous hum."

DOPISY A NAHLEDY CLENO BEST A CTVRT FROCENTA Bratre redaktore: Pig i to v obou Peeich, aby take nagi staki eleni rnohli si preeisti, nae upozorriuji v anglicke easti.

Jestli je v Texasu kolem 400,000 lidi eeskeho puvodu, a jestli mame jen 25,000 elenin znamena to, ie pouze Best a etvrt procenta, na geho lidu path. do SPJST. Proe tak malo? A vlastne do jake skupiny zahrneme celYch tech 'etyri sta tisic?. Jiste rnezi 'nimi budou deti, ktere Maji jen.om otce nebo jenom matku eeskeho puvodu a jeden z rodien je jineho ptivod.u. A takove potomky jsme ztratill nadobro. Kdosi kdesi zaspal.

Zcle ve Wichita Falls mame velice male precento oeskeho lidu. Mame zde Pad, kde je kolem triceti elenn dospelYch. Odhaduji, ze v gech lidi Ceskeho puvodu neni zde vice neZ nejakYch sto padesat 0sob. To bychom meli v Padu asi dvacet procent na geho lidu. Take odhaduji, Ze v Dallas niaji nejakYch pet tisic nebo vice eeskeho lidu. A kolik je jich v Houstonu a jinde? A jake procento je v SPJST? Nejvetgi nage chyba je a byla, ze jsme obchodcvali jen .s temi starYmi a s jejich vnoneaty. Pros jsme zapomneli na ty, kteri maji tricet a etyricet? Stale jsme narriouvali na gim elentim, ze museji mit vg echno ye spolku Ceske. JenZe v Americe niade2 na takove Peet mnoho nedil. A druha chyba, my vZdycky po61tame, aby nas to =oho nestalo. KdyZ Mame nejake sbirky, tak poeitame de,saelcy, ale na ty papirove penize si ani nevzpornenerne.

Najimame si nage firedniky za velice skoupou inzdu. Jen rozhlednete se kolem sebe a I/ gin-mete si ze okresni kornisar ye vagem okresu dostava vet gi sluZne neZ nag hlavni predseda. Muj okresni komisar je placeny sedmdesat pet set rano a in.ame, jako v kaalem jinem obyste tvrkresu., etyri konnsare. clit, zocipoveclnost kterehokoliv kornisare je vetgi ne2 zodpovednost nageho hlavniho pPedsedy.

Nebo si vgimnete picedsedy ve vagi bance kdekoliv na venkove nebo v mamesteeku. Dostava svilj plat a krome toho ma je gte jine zajmy a investovane penize v tom nebo v neeem jinem.

Co vlastne neekavame za ta.kovY plat, jak dava,me nag im iirednikiim? My potrebujerne osobu v 'Cele na geho spolku, ktera by si zaslouZila nejrnene patnact tisic ranee A potom to na ge oznamovani. :Myslime Vestnik na to .staei. My bychom si, oznamovat nejen y e Vestniku, ale i v jinych CeskYch novinach. Melt by-

chom jiti na rozhlas s eeskou hudbou, neco podobneho jako sveho Casu byl "Adolph and His Boys" ze Schulenburgu.

Kdekdo miluje hudbu. A eeska muzika srdcem pronika. Timto zPilsobem bychom meli daleko vice reklamy a pPitahli bychom i ty, kteri se jinak .od nas oddaluji. Ale meli bychom take miti dobre vy gkolene "field workers", pracovniky, kteri by takovou reklamu umeli. vyuZitkovat.

Abych vysvetlil, co minim. Nedavno videl jsem v jednom americkem mesieniku dvoustrankovou oznaniku, kde jedna pojigt'ujici spoleenoSt z vYchodu oznamovala jirrena tech, kteri pro spoleenost prodali za rnilion nebo vice pojigteni v roce 1955. Takova oznamka stoji asi patnact tisic dolaru. Kdvby se to nevyplacelo, nernyslete si, ze by J pole enost zbyteene vyhazovala penize. Ti chlapici urrieji poeitat.

A prof nemame firazove a nemocenske poji gteni? KaZdy ho chce, tak prof zase spime? Ci nechcerne; aby SPJST rostla?

A nage dalgi neciostatky. Na g Pad Neodvislost Oslo 76' zde ye Wichita Falls bude ho.stiti eleny, kteri prijdou do schuze etvrteho distriktu. Nerd otazka, co bychom si prali nebo co nechceme miti, ale na ge schuze zde musi laYti vedena v anglietine. Ptate se proe. Mame v na gich rodinach eleny, kteri neznaji Cesky. Jestli schuze bude vedena v &Stine, take moje manZelka musi ztistat doma. A co nejhor giho, neeteme eeskou east Vestniku, ani Zadne jine Ceske noviny. V na gem Pa.du na gli byste sotva pet kteri dovedou Cisti a psati Cesky.

TakovYch radii mate vice. Tak co udelate s takovYrni rady a eleny? fteknete nam, abychom na g radovy diplom poslali zpatky na Hlavni aradovnu jen proto, de nevime, co je na nem? Tak co, vyhodite nds z Jednoty?

Kdy2 jsem jednou mluvil o techto yecech s jednim vlivnYm krajanem a dienem ye West, pokreil rameny a pravil: "Takove veci nag netrapi." Ale zapomnel rozhlednouti se kolem, ze nejsou v gechny osady jako je West. Co Dallas, Houston, San Antonio? Nemeli bychom v jinYch mistech miti vice elent, kteii by nam rozumeli?

Vestnik mel by miti vice easove latky, ktera by odpovidala, moderni dobe.

Proe tarn nemame need o kniZnich novinkach, ktere jsou na amerirem hullnim trhu? V kaZde priloze velikYch denikti najderne cele stranky o novYch knihach, o pritomne literatuPe. Pied nekolika dny 'Ceti jsem y e "Wall Street Journal", jak velike korporace na-

vgtevuji pied ukonecnim gkolniho roku vysok,e g koly a university, aby si vybrali studenty, kteri budou graduovat v jistem oboru. Vynikajici student'. dostavaji nabidky na zamestnani jests drive neZ ukonci Sva studia.

Co jsem nikdy nemohl pochopit, de by nam ty dlouhe dopisy ye Vestniku privedly nejake eleny. Oloyeejne jsou nam spige ku gkode nek k dobru. A keknete lune, najdete v tech dlouhych dopisech neco takoveho, co by melo skute'enou hodnotu jako pokyn pro nagi Jednotu nebo jako novinku z naSeho .spolkoveho Zivota? Jestli jsern nemocnY, nebo jestli mne nav gtivila rodina a vzdaleni pribuzni, to nema ZadnY pro spolknvYIivot. A pak jsem jistY, ze z tech dvaeeti peti tisic elenti sli bychom ani dva tisice, kteri si na takovYch cllouhYch dopisech pochutnavaji.

Potom ten parlamentarni poradok schnzich. Ptijde navrh na poloZeni Ira Debatuje se, a Zadny nevi, ze o takovern navrhu se nedebatuje. Nebo je podanY nejaky navrh a predseda se pta, jesth /raft ma nejakY jinY navrh.:07 koby nevedel, ze kdyZ je podany navrh, ZadnY jinY navrh se nemtiZe podavat.

Snad by si na gi eleni meli natoeit radio a pcslouchat jednani v kongresu SpojenYch statin My v na gich schirAich nevime nic o dodatcich. Anebo je neumime poudIvat. KdyZ se v kongresu projecinavala farmarska predloha, bylo debatovano o neja,kYch sedmdesati dodatcich.

Jako treba o poslednim sjezdu. Jestli se nernYlim, byl to bratr Jan Ci4jeV• sky ktery podal navrh, aby se na noyou budovu povolilo sto padesat tisie dolarn Bratr Olexa, jestli se nemYlim, podal druhy navrh, aby obnos zvygil na $220,000 a deset procent dalgich, by toho bylo treba. Tento druhy navrh rrel bYti dodatkem k prvnimu navrhu, a kdyZ by byl prijat, opravil by se tim prvni navrh. Co nejhor giho, bratr xa nebyl ani delegatem. Prof mel dovor ieno dark/a-Li navrh?

Zminim se neco o na gich vYborech.

Nikde v zaznamech parlamentarniho jedmini nenajcierne, Ze by vYbory byly volene. Vzorek 'name, kdy2 senator Case ze Severni Dakoty) oznamli, ze bylo mu nabizeno $2,500 na jeho volebni kaTpan. Mistopresident Nixon jmenoval vVbor na vy getreni. To je N7;71° hradni pra y °, prerogativa, aby pred gedajici Ui'ednik jmenoval vYbor. Jako kdyl moucha, spadne do polevky.

Ja jsem ut no tu tabulku B zapla, til $917.00, ale tadnou filevu nedostavam, neb tu pojistku B mime teprve tkicet roku. pet rOkti musim platit netli budu dostavat idevu. To znamena jeSte ptiplata $15.00, trebas to ut jsem elenem Jednoty 55 rokft a star 75 let. za 5 rokil budu opravnen na Ulevu, ale nadale musim platit $17.75.

V roku 1921 prijel ke mne mladY chla7. pik, ktereho jsem neznal a hued se ml pfedstavil, to je prodavaeem pojistek pro Amicable Life Insurance Company. Svoje zboZi chvalil, huba mu jela, ja jsem byl prilia zabranY do svoji prace,. tak jsem ho neposiouchal, ale hlavou jsem prikyvoval. Za malou chvilku predlozi mi listinu k podej)sani, tak jsem si oddechnul a iistnu podepsal, jcn abychut se ho zbavil. Za par dni jsem dostal velikY certifikat, jedna stranka kupony. Je to dvaceti splatkova pojistka, na kterou jsem platil $35.50 roOne. Tu pojistku mar vyplacenou a celkem lane stoji $710.00, a proto to jsem kupony nevymenil za hotove penize a dotil se del giho stall net bylo beekavano, tot v padu umrti spoleenost vyplati$1407.00, to je vice netli jednou tolik co jsem tam dal. Z tohoto stanoviska soudim, ze Jednota by mela tu pojistku B opravit a stare 'deny neodirat.

Z Vestniku vyrozumivam, to sj ezdy, Vestnik a stanovy jsou bremenem Jednay. Je to syata pravda. Ut je na Case, abychom se zbavili zbyteeneho vydani.

Podavam mfij asudek. jak by se mohlo uSetrit na Vestniku. Nekteri hadaji, to jenom osmdesat procent Menu Ste Vestnik.

Jini hadaji, to padesat procent Ste Vestnik. Z toho je vidno, to deset tisic neb dvanact tisic zbyteone utracime katdym rckem. Tak aby se prede glo marnotratnictvi, kdo chce odbirat Vestnik, necht' plat roene 25 centu, a kdo si nepredplati, tomu bude zastaven. Zajiste kdo Vestnik neete, 25 • centil neda. Tak by zbyteene placeni bylo zastaveno.

Br. Steiner navrhuje, to dvoutYdenik staid. Take ma pravdu. A ty neSt'astne stanovy, ty nadelaji ramusu kaZde etyti roky, a zbyteeneho vydani. A Sim dale tim je to horgi.

Nejen 2e dala podklad naii °beanske svobode, take i dnes zarueuje eloveku jeho prirozenou volnost, Mezi etenari Vestniku jiste. je rnnoho tech, kteri to vi. Vim te2, Ze jsou nekteri, kterYna to znanip neni. Jestli jsme se to nemohli naueit ve ikole, pozdeji v 2ivote 112 mato kdo me eas nee() poznavat z toho, co by ueinilo Civet ka2cleho jednotlivce spokojenejii a zdravejiil vzdor tomu, co z nas eini nedobrovolne nevolniky sta7 vajicich pomerti.

A piece se tak deje. Clovek eloveka posuzuje, prondsleduje a tresta neustale. A proe? Proto2e nahodou jinak mysli, poetna si jak se to prvnimu nelibi anebo libit nenati2e. Ta rtznost a rozdily prinasi svetu viechna utrpeni; kterYmi jsme nuceni jiti. U2 na svete take byli jednotlivci, kteri tuhle pravdu znali, proto te2 se o napravu pokouieli. Ale jako jednotlivci (jak ' se ukazalo), byli a jsou na to slani.
