NEM JESTS NUDE Clanky, ktere rre museji pozmenit za mnoho roku, pak se k tomu dodavaji jen dodatky ve sjezdech.

Pied mesicem, 25. dubna, byla ye Vestniku uvetejnena zprava ptedsjezdoveho stanovniho vYboru. Pied dvema tYdny, 9. kvetna, meli jsme ye Vestniku navrhy Hlavni idadovny. Na stanovnim vYboru zasedalo devet elenti a pravnik dvakrat po dvou dnech. Hlavni fitadovna rokovala o zmenach pet dnti. Devet dma prace od dva a dvaceti osob. Oeekaval jsem, ze nam zakonfi nebude pfidelano, ale ze se stavajici zformuji, elanky ptesunou, dlouhe odsta.vce zkrati, a cele stanovy zjednodugi.

Vgichni vime, ze musime' pamatovati na tfi veci, aby nag e SPJST rostla: (1) ziskavat nove eleny; (2) zapracovat Ceti a vychovavat nove idedniky v tadech a distriktech; (3) opatrovat nag majetek a investovat na ge penize. Mohli bychom ptipustit, ze jsou je gte jine na ktere bychom meli pamatovati, ale spravne vedcni odboru organisadniho, Odekaval jsem, ze z nektereho prame- odboru adrninistrativniho a odboru inne ptijde navrh na upraveni nasich vestienibo jsou ty hlavni pilire nageho stanov tim nejjednodu ggim zpusobem. bratrskeho poji gt'ovani.

Ale tesil jsem se, ze stanovy si uZ jak ziskavati nove eleny; (2) jak dosjednou opravime a zjednodu gime tak, tati na ge deti do spolkove prace; (3) aby to byla jen mala kniZka, a ne jako jak ukladati nage penize, abychom neobcansky zakonik. Tesil jsem se, ze bu- byli uhYdkani nagimi miliony, ze to saderne nage stanovy modelovati jako fr- mo sebou poroste, kdyZ jsme bohai.

Jsem placenY, abych ptemY glel, radii, sta.vu SpojenYch state, napfed to nejhla,vnejSi, co se liubec nemeni, pak ty porovnaval a nekdy prstem ukazoval, ad OTO JSOU SOUKROME NAzory. Nekdo s nimi moZna nebude souhlasit. Ale jsem place0, abych ptemy glel a radii. Jestli me pokyny se neujmou, pomyslim si jako rolnik pri seti: mel jsem gpatne zrno.

Nevyklidilo, nevzeglo. Nebo nemelo dosti vlahy.

V pOsledni\ dobe byl Vestnik ptepinenY rozrnanitYmi navrhy na opravu a zmenu nagich stanov. Nektere osobne schvaluji, nektere zamitam Ale nazory jednoho Clena nerozhoduji. Jsem pouze jedna kapka ve velike nadobe vody. Odlejte jen mou kapku a celek zastane nezinenen. To musel, bych byti kapkou inkoustu v male nadobe, aby ma kapka byla znatelna.

KdyZ posoudim vsechny opravy a zmeny, zda se mne, ze vet gina Merit' chce nejake zlep geni, ale ze nedovedeme si tyto zmeny spravnYm zpusobem upravift 13a zda se, ze chceme opravovati malichernosti.

to posledni je zpilsob neslu gnSi. Ale kdyg emaram prstem po opravach nam podanYch, nemohu nalezti nic o torn, jak budeme ptigte provadet svou organisachii praci. Sloup prvni nedostal 2,adnou pozornost. A i nevidim nejake zmeny v torn, jak zalohti lep gi cletskY odbor, zauciti nebo nove fitedniky v tadech a distriktech. To je stoup druhY—lepgi einnost v tadech, vice pochopeni pro deti, vYchova novych Atedniku, zlepgeni prace v distriktech, upevneni sloupu administrativniho. A nevidim Zadnou opravu tietiho pilite, odboru investieniho, jak investovati na ge penize rychlejgim a stejne bezpeenYm zpusobem, jak zavest investieni vYbor, ,kterY by fungoval vYhodne nam i Zadatelfun o ptijeky, a kterY byl by je gte spolehlivej gi neZ dnegni zdlouhavY a teZkopadnY proces.

Kdy2 uz jsem placenY. , abych ptemYglel a radii, nabizel jsem se kdysi, ze bych provedl hrubY naert, jak si pfecIstavuji zjednodugene stanovy. Nabidnul jsem se, 2e prostuduji stanovy jinYch bratrskYch jednot, ktere jsou vet gi ne2 nage SPJST, ale jejich2 stanovy jsou hodne zjednodu gene, a ze tim usnadnim vYboru praci. fffednici stanovniho vYboru byli piistupni a chteli miti mtlj najort. Ptigla vgak kritika, ze ye vgem chtel bych miti svou vateeku, vgechno upravovat podle sve chuti. Take dobra, ubylo mne prace.

Vzdor tomu myslim si, ae stanovni YYbor mel by uvaZiti, aby v pti gtim sjezdu nebylo na gich zakorin pkidelay ano, spige aby na ge stanovy byly krat gi, jednoduggi. A rozhodne by v techtc kratkYch stanovach melo bYti nee° o torn, jak zavesti dokonalejM detskV odbor a einnost deti; jak ziskavat nove eleny a pH jake odmene; jak zlepsit praci v distriktech a mistnich tadech; a jak opatrovat naa- e miliony.

Ve sttedu, dne 23. kvetna 1956 nic hotoveho pro nage distrikty. Vgichni vime, ze distrikty pottebujeme. Prace v nich musi vaak pokraeovati podle ureitSrch pravidel, jako jsou pravidla pro vgechny mistni tady. 0 mistnich tadech, o taclovYch schfizich, fikednicich, vYborech, praci a einnosti jejich mame ye stanovach deset stranek a 32 elanky.

Podobne musime miti neco o distriktech, distriktnich schtzich, distriktnich utednicich, pravech a povinnostech distriktfi.

Vetaina elent SPJST oeekavala, k 'AcedsjezdovY stanovni vYbor nom poda nojaka doporudeni. VYbor se nemilae vymiouvat, ze nic nedostal, nebo ze nemel ZacilnY vzorek, podle neho2 by neco vypracoval. Ptialo dosti materialu z peti rtiznYch mist a site: od bratra Steinera, od petielenneho stanovniho vYboru z ttetiho distriktu, od bratra Kleprlika ze sedmeho distriktu, od bratra Sta g'. z Corpus Christi a od bratra Calvina Chervenky za fad Nova Osada eislo 69.

Nechci podceriovati ohramnou a nevdeenou praci stanovniho vYboru.

Take nepamatuji si, kdy byly uvetejneny navrhy na clistriktni pravidla od tketiho distriktu, na kterYch pracovali bratti Pokladnik, Popp a Steiner, a sestry Wilma Nesudova, a Do1phi Hrabinova Podam jen souhrn od bratra Kleprlika, bratra Stak a bratra Chervenky.

V EST- —

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

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THIS WEEK, I WISH TO TAKE UP a topic which somehow escaped our notice so far. It is the subject of insurance on our children. There are many other things connected with the juvenile insurance. If you look in the index of our By-laws, page 101, you find that we have a JUVENILE DEPARTMENT, and that there are sixteen paragraphs M our By-laws which regulate this department.

THE JUVENILE DEPARTMENT needs just as much of our attention. as the adult department. In fact, I venture to say that we have been neglecting our juvenile department as far as any improvements in this department are concerned. The only recommendation for any change or betterment in the juvenile department came from. one local lodge which is proposing that we terminate the age in this department automatically for all children at the age of sixteen.

SOMEBODY TOLD ME THAT OUR children up to sixteen are not members.

I tried to read every sentence of the By-laws under the heading "Juvenile Department" to find out if it is so or not. In Article 103 I found a real pearl, "infant members of the adult department. Up to that time, I didn't know that we had "infants" in the "adult" department. Legally, we may probably be correct when we speak of minors under the age of 21 as infants, but our members are not all lawyers. They speak everyday language; and when they say "infant" they mean a baby, a child in the first period of life. * THEN I PICKED UP THE TEXAS INsurance Code of 1951. There it say, "No member under age sixteen shall have voice or vote in the management of the society." That would clear the point that up to sixteen no person can be a member but only a certificate holder.

After sixteen he or she is a full-fledged member with all the rights and privileges. We should correct our By-laws, especially Article 12, and Articles 102 and 103 to have the Juvenile Depart-

ment only for those who are under sixteen years of age. * * IT W01,1) NOT BE A BAD IDEA TO throw the whole Juvenile Department back in the lap of the Supreme Lodge and the preconvention By-law Committee to redraft all the articles dealing with the Julianne Department, frOm Article 92 to Article 104, inclusive. Those articles have not been touched, with the exception of a very minor addition.

But they should be gone over very systematically, because they affect the future of the SPJST. They deal with organizing and operating branches for our children, with future membership in local lodges, with a separate department in our SPJST which should be under the supervision of one of our supreme officers, and which should also have a state youth counselor and local or district •youth directors.

• • ANOTHER POINT SHOULD BE CONsidered when we discuss out Juvenile Department. Up until now, we have in operation Article 99 which, in part, reads: "All receipts from monthly premiums are .paid to the Juvenile Benefit Fund . . which will be kept separate from all other funds of this Organization." It has been that way, because when we first started to write insurance on our children in 1929, on children under 16 years of age, we were told that we must keep those premiums and reserves in a special fund. In those days, either the boys in Austin or our own delegates wanted to keep the men separated from the boys. Or they were afraid that the men would not have enough money in the adult department, and wanted to protect the money of the children. So the, children's reserves and dues were kept separate. * * NOW WE KNOW, OR SHOULD KNOW, that all of our certificates are written on a legal reserve basis. Each certificate has its reserve figured separately, and yet we don't have a separate fund for Class "B," ordinary life, or for Class "F," 15-payment endowment. We have fifteen classes of adult certificates, but only one adult reserve fund. So we

should do away with two separate funds, one for juvenile and the other for adults. We can have only one Mortuary Fund for all certificates, be they juvenile or adult. It will simplify a lot of bookkeeping. Ask Brother Urbanovsky.

And if you don't believe it can be done, ask Brother Mims, our actuary.

THE LAW PERMITS US TO ORGANize and o perate branches for our children. When are we going to start? Recently, I had the pleasure to listen to Btother Stelalik's remarks in the meeting of District Four at Wichita Falls.

"Train our youth," he said, "have youth clubs and branches, have debating teams, organize youth activities." Juvenile insurance is good. Juvenile insurance is covered by Articles 92 and 104 in our By-laws. But that isn't all we should have. "We shall deliberate on those problems that are before us," repeated Brother Marek at nearly every district meeting. Let us start deliberating. * LET US REVERSE OUR MODE OF OPeration. Up to now, we separated our Juvenile Fund and our Adult Mortuary Fund, but we kept our children to 'bean integral part of every local lodge.

We kept the money separate hut- we we kept the children and adults in the same group, Let us keep the money together, but let us design the activities in the local lodges to meet the needs of the young people. We can put money together, but we cannot keep the interests, needs, and attitudes of youth on the same level as that of the older people.

I WAS TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED when I studied the recommendations of the Su p reme Lodge and did not find a single mention about the youth programs, the youth counselor, the local youth director. Those thirteen men were sitting together for five days, correcting the grammar of our By-laws, but completely overlooking the tremendous importance for practical youth training program. We wish to grow, but we are trying to graft old stumps.

It was agreed that Secretary Chupick should inform the Sokol that the Sokol function and all activities have always met with the approval of our Order and the Supreme Lodge, that the Supreme Lodge offers the columns of the Vestnik to the Sokol, for their disposal, and that the Sokol has the sanction, permission and authority to so inform the public, generally, and that the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, is in full accord with the Sokol movement, its activities and all its functions.

Financial Secretary Urbanovsky stated that he had no additional report to make.

(Note—The following report of Treasurer Koliha is given here verbatim, at his request, as presented by Treasurer Koliha to Secretary Chupick.)

Director Skrabanek brought up before the meeting, that Treasurer Koliha has in his possession some pictures of property located in. Houston upon which Brother. Skrabanek made loans and that these pictures were shown to members of the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, and that he requests Treasurer Koliha to apologize to him in the Vestnik for taking these pictures and showing them to the 'members of the Supreme Ladge, SPJST, and others, and that if Treasurer Koliha would not do so that he (Director Skrabanek) would take this matter up in the Vestnik.

REPORTS FROM DISTRICTS MEETING OF THE FOURTH DISTRICT tame vas." In his speech he praised the

Lubbock, Texas Sisters and Brothers: The fourth meeting of District Four was held at Wichita Falls May 6, 1956, on the campus of the Midwestern University in the building known as University Center.

We left our home near Lubbock at 5:15 Sunday morning. The weather was clear and cool, very pleasant for travel, ing. After a short stop in Guthrie, some eighty miles from home, where we had a good hot cup of coffee and a bite of breakfast, we continued on our way through Benjamin, and to Wichita Falls, reaching the meeting grounds at 9:30.

There the building buzzed with preparation of the noon meal. After exchanging greetings with some of the Lodges, Districts', and headquarters' members, we were urged by Brother Stehlik to go on with the meeting.

Brother Broz, a member of Masaryk Lodge No. 160, of San Angelo, and vice president of District Four, opened the meeting at 10:10 in the absence of Brother Emil Kvasnicka, president, who could not attend the meeting. Brother Broz introduced Brother Pokorny, president of Wichita Falls Lodge who extended the most sincere welcome to the members and guests of the Fourth District.

Reading of the minutes of the previous meeting followed. Up to this time only Brother Chupick and Brother Urbanovsky, and also Director Skrabanek were present representing the Supreme Lodge. Each spoke a few words.

Roll call was taken. Because it was quite early, not all of the lodges of District Four were represented. It was planned to make another roll call during the afterneon, but as there were quite a few speakers, and also a. youth program 'scheduled, we did not get around to checking the representation.

I am sure that all were present as we had a , very good attendance.

In the morning session the following Brothers made short addresses and remarks: Chupick, Urbanovsky, Valcik, Pokladnik, Skrabanek, Marek, Sefcik. It was 10:55 when the meeting adjourned for noon luncheon.

Afternoon meeting took up at 1:35 with the anthem "Star Spangled Banner," and then "Hej Slovane" played on piano, and the Pledge to the Flag.

Brother Stehlik introduced the son of the Mayor of Wichita Falls who substituted for his father with a hearty "Vi-

Czech people who gave a tremendous boost to the American heritage and culture. He mentioned that America opened the door to the immigrants, and that the Czech people came in with their rich cultural background and with their contributions. He ended with the Czech greeting "Na alar."

Brother Marek responded to the welcome address and accepted the Mayor's 'apology for not being present.

Brother Stehlik introduced Mr. Smith, a fourth generation Czech descendant and a student who had recently won in an oratorical contest. Mr. Smith was the great grandson of a Czech pioneer by the name Michna, and spoke on the subject of youth. And a very good speech it was. Brother Stehlik then introduced Dr. John M. Skrivanek, of A and M College, who spoke about the Czech Education Foundation of Texas. Attention and quietness during the preceding speeches had been outstanding.

The youth of Wichita Falls presented a dance and a song "Dungaree Doll."

Also a boy, dressed as a girl, pantomimed two songs.

Brother Steiner spoke on how to raise money in the districts for their meetings, which I thought was a very good idea. He asked the delegates to foster and support the plan of getting some financial aid for the districts at the convention.

Brother Cerveny, director of District Four, made his report. The following Brothers, made short speeches: Marek, Chupick, Urbanovsky, Koliha, Cerveny, Navratil.

Brother Fojtik, past president of District Four, spoke a few wrods. Brother Hejny of Ennis, the state organizer for the northern part of the state, also made a short speech pertaining to his work.

Brother Valcik, our editor, wanted the opinion of the members in District Four what they thought about Vestnik being published once a month, or every two weeks, or to publish it once a week as at present. I think we all were 100 per cent for Vestnik to remain as it is.

Brother Pokorny thanked every one who helped with food and with anything in connection with the meeting to make it a success, which it was.

Brother Fojtik made a motion, seconded by Brother Cerveny, that a "getwell" card or a letter be sent to Sister Kvasnicka of Rowena, mother of our District President who was unable to

attend the meeting on account of her serious illness.

Lodge Seymour No. 73 asked for the next district meeting. Date remained open for their convenience.

Meeting adjourned at 4:20 in the afternoon.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all the members of Wichita Falls Lodge for the wonderful time they showed us. They served us two outstandingly appetizing meals. We thoroughly enjoyed everything they prepared for us, not only for the memberS of my Lodge No. 157, but for the entire District Four and also for all the visitors.

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Ernest Kristenek )• • (.

FRATERNALISM

Fraternalism is not merely a phrase. it is not merely an insurance institution or means of teaching morals and ethics.

It is not a religious institution. It is not simply a place for nationalistic gatherings or a means of entertainment. It is all of these combined and more.

Fraternity is another word for brotherhood. Brotherhood implies a sympathetic understanding of another's position and problems, a desire to share another's burdens and render assistance as occasions arise. Thsee qualities possessed by our fraternal benefit societies have poured into the homes of members (and often to those not members) many millions of dollars in the way of food, clothing, housing and heat, not to mention the other millions put into homes where sickness has impoverished the family and where death has taken the breadwinner. Our certificates furnish financial protection and our lodges inspire our members to good deeds.

Fraternalists meet in their lodge rooms and through close association the ties of friendship are strengthened and people are brought happily together who would never have known each other by any other means. People of all nationalistic origins, of all religious faiths, of all poritical creeds, and various occupations, are thus brought together in our fraternal benefit societies and see there exemplified the principles, which are taught in every society in our system, of—God, home and country. Beginning with our juvenile branches these principles are taught. and continued in our senior lodges—thus making better citizens of our country and better homes for the future.

The refreshments were delicious and there was more than enough for all.

It seems almost a must in May to see a May Pole Dance. Thanks to Sister Vlasta, Laznovsky for the one she planned and worked out with the children.

We also had a new member, Mrs. Johnnie Zettel, and an additional policy was taken by Erwin Schmidt. Boy, our membership is surely increasing, thanks to all you good people.

We now have the decoration of our hall completed. We have a big star formed out of fringed red, white and blue crepe paper on the entire surface of the ceiling. Some paint work was clone on the stage, a baby blue, and it surely does look nice. It took many nights to complete the work but now that it is finished it was worth the time.

I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright!

There is perfect joy and beauty, In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade?

Oh! but Jesus' love illumined Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on, Could there be one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's will.

There is work still waiting for you So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth— You shall rest in Jesus' land.

Resolution of Sympathy

1956

The article "Czechs friendly to U. S.' Contributed by Norman Chandler, pub usher of The Los Angeles Times and appearing in the Vestnik of February 1, was interesting to the readers of our organ. It was especially interesting to me as I have had somewhat similar experience in Prague before leaving that city in September, 1948. Perhaps the readers would be interested in my adventure in that beautiful . country of Czechoslovakia which Mr. Chandler dubbed "a picture postcard country." It is all that, believe me!

Usually when one wants to travel abroad, one makes plans ahead of time to have everything ready when the time comes. I prepared for my journey to Czechoslovakia six months after my doctor told me lie could do nothing more to help me to get well. "Close up that darn place of yours and go away and forget about it for three months," he advised.

Since I had in mind one day to visit the land of my birth, my decision to do just that was not long in coming. The American Sokols were then preparing to sail from New York in a special chartered ship. This was the opportunity to join : the Sokols for my vacation and I wrote for -reservations.

Just when I thought everything was honky-dory, nEws flashed that the Communists had taken over the country.

Consternation reigned! Down went my burst balloon and my hopes with it. I had applied for a passport and was waiting for it when this happened. Later - I wrote twice to Washington to, find out whether or not the State Departmenet was issuing passports, but no word came. The local office didn't have any information. Shortly after, I had word - that the Sokols have cancelled their sponsorship of the sailing, brit any one wanting to go could do so on their -oWn. Through an agent in New York I got word that all passenger ships were full up and no accommodations available. I Was not going to give up going should I get my. passport. Waiting for it was a nightmare of :suspense. Just when it seemed that I would have to give up the effort, the passport came. There was very 'little time ta spare to reach Praha for the Sokol rally. I had to find a Czech Consul to get a visa. The Consulate in Houston was closed, but in two weeks I heard from a Consul in Pittsburgh. Another ten days and I had my -visa. I rushed the passport and visa to My agent in New York asking him

Th o , agent himself prepared the cableg r am., The money had to go through a bank. I never saw a nickel of it. To get my ticket I paid the difference with travelers checks.

Having some dollars left to spend after getting my ticket, I offered to buy my. , aunt a pair of shoes. We went to a, Bata store where she was fitted and I. was given a sales slip to take to the ,bank nearby where it had to be OK'd and paid for. Before going to the store, however, we had learned I could buy shoes . with dollars without rationing, so I.was,prepo.red to pay dollars. I presentthe sales slip to a bank official who asked for my passport, and finding „therein that I hadn't spent-enough &A, tars in the land to allow me to buy a pair of shoes.

What he didn't know, and I didn't tell him, Was that my relatives asked me to enil them, before I left the U. S., many thlness, among them a whole set of tires dad tubes which I shipped prepaid to Prague, and for which they would pay for ' in crowns when I arrived. This raoney was all spent on traveling' and expenses, and more besides that. But my passport showed I had exchanged but :;.330.00: for crowns, and the man was very much.: displeased about it. Although he wasn't as insulting as the other man was; he refused to OK the sale. I felt as. if , that was a fine on his own people becauSe an American hadn't spent many dollars in the country. However, those nine dollars and a half could have stayed in the land.

The day of the flight arrived and with it scrutinizing of baggage which passed OK. I had to tell them how much money I was taking back. This was compared to what I had brought in, as per my passport entry on arrival there. I was found to have less money than I should have had. Would I be chastized again? I thought. But this man was nice about it. He said he would let it pass this time. What I had done was that I had given a dollar here and a dollar there to relatives I hadn't bought presents for, including a clergyman and a barber. From my ` past experiences I was afraid I would be asked whom I gifted with dollars. I sighed with relief when he, didn't ask. And so my tribulations ended.

First landing from Prague was Frankfurt, Germany, where we had dinner; coffee in Brussels and supper in Shannon, Ireland. Besides seeing the RIVER SHANNON FLOW, I saw along the coast of Europe many old relics of the Second World War. Overnight and still dark and rainy we landed in Gander, Newfoundland, where we had breakfast and by a beautiful sunrise we were over Boston, Mass., and in no time at all, in New York.

In Shannon, while waiting for the plane to prepare for the long hop to America, the passengers strolled or sat around the waiting room which looked like a big oversized living room while I was looking out through a window over the airfield. I don't believe I was at the window more than a minute or two when I turned from the window to look surprised at the transformation inside the terminal. The divans, lounges, chairs and small tables were completely rearranged, appearing as though I had stepped out into another terminal.

I reached for my hat which I left beside me on a small table. But it was not there. Neither was the table. Just that quick, the Irish had performed a sleight of hand miracle.

BEAT THE HEAT WITH AIR CONDITIONING Why not live and work in springtime comfort the year round? "Beat the heat by installing air condition," say advertisers. "There is cooling equipment designed to fit virtually every conceivable type and shape of house, window or room, regardless of where the house is located or when it was built." This flexible air conditioning is also advertised to fit every job and every pocketbook. "Strange thing about air conditioning," said an expert, "almost all the claims made for it are true. They are remarkable little boxes. But anybody interested in buying one should get all the facts ahead of time."

The first conditioners were mostly water cooled, bulky and hard to handle.

Not only were they costly, noisy and dangerous contraptions to have around the house, but their ugly appearance marred the beauty of a room. Today's conditioners, hoWever, are superquiet, push-button and thermostatically controlled. They are "non-protruding," beautifully colored and specially designed to blend with either traditional or modern room furnishings. But one of the most attractive things about the new units is the reduced prices. Some cost less than half as much as old ones did.

The big question in the minds of those contemplating buying an air conditioning system is what kind and size to get. Should it be air or water cooled?

Would room units be more desirable than a central cooling system? What about costs? Installation and operation` costs?

Which is better for a house, room units or a central system? An expert's advice is: "When a, complete house is to be air conditioned and it is humanly possible we would recommend a central system without exception." His reason for saying so is that to air condition an entire house with room conditioners, both the initial and the operating cost would be much higher than the cost of installing a central cooling system. The latter promises better and more lasting service, too. The advantage of owning a room unit is that individual room temperature is possible.

It appears that its greatest value is its relatively low cost, 'which can give one a first taste of air conditioning for the smallest expenditure.

But before buying an air conditioning unit there are a few factors to take into consideration. For instance: the floor area, ceiling height, window area, the exposures and how many people

will occupy the room or house. Any of these factors will influence the over-all cooling load and thus the size of unit needed. Another thing to consider is the wiring situation.

Overloading lines not designed to carry heavy loads results 'in overheating of wires, blown fuses, damaged equipment, poor service and overheated conversations with the landlord.

When shopping for an air conditioner, it is well to remember that there are more than just a few top-grade makes while on the other end of the scale there are probably just as many lemons. A safe slogan to adopt would be, "Try before you buy." "Try" means to operate it yourself. Hear the unit in operation. Check it for vibration and noise. See that the filters are easy to get at for cleaning. In areas of some cities where air pollution is high, filters must be cleaned at least once a month and changed every three months.

Dirty filters can sharply reduce operating efficiency. Check to see that the construction is corrosion-proof. Corrosion is the greatest enemy of room units and how long a unit will last depends chiefly on its resistance to corrosion.

Look for a heavy gauge metal cabinet made of 18 or 16 gauge metal; cheaper ones come as thin as 24 gauge (the higher the gauge the thinner the metal). In addition, the metal should be painted or Bonderizedi—a 'special paint base which wards off rust. The inside parts such as the cooling coil should laso be treated against corrosion. Important, too, for durability and service is a well-insulated cabinet throughout —on all sides; a compressor that is rugged and efficient. Inquire about the guarantees and services. Insure yourself against unpleasant experiences by buying from a reputable dealer.

For maximum efficiency from any unit the family must learn to cooperate and adjust its living habits to the new addition, which means they must learn to live with the windows and doors closed while the equipment is in operation. Be aware that the cooling system has limitations. Do not expect from it the same degree of service that only a very costly commercial installation would give. Bear in 'mind, too, that extraneous heat within the house. created from electric lights, cooking, and operating television, or from other activities and appliances, helps to heat' the room or rooms. These appliances' work against the cooling 'system.

A kitchen range with all burners op-

erating can release more heat into the house than a two or three ton cooling unit can remove, if it did nothing else.

A kitchen ventilating fan should always be operating while cooking is in process and a kitchen window should be kept slightly opened to replace the air that the fan moves out.

Mopping floors, washing furniture and other cleaning operations requiring water will release moisture into the air as the wet surfaces dry. These operations should be done on a cool day, or at least during the coolest part of a warm day when the full cooling capacity of the equipment is not required just to keep the house cool.

The same applies to laundering and drying baby clothes and lingerie. Shower and tub baths, also, release a tremendous amount of moisture into the an all of which may result in an uncomfortably high humidity for several hours. When entertaining or ironing clothes on hot days do not expect the house to be as cool as usual. The room may, in fact, get warm and stuffy, because the additional load occasioned by the guests or the iron will be more than the cooler can handle.

With a central system the problem is where to set the thermostat. One engineer recommends setting the thermostat at 76 degrese for central summer air conditioning. At this mark moit people will be comfortable within a 'relative humidity range of 40 to 80 per cent.

A temperature of '76 to 78 degrees is preferred by most people. You may select a lower temperature a goodly portion of the time. But do not be 'disappointed and condemn the equipthent if the temperature gets a few degrees warmer during a very hot afternoon.

Most residential 'systems are designed for a maximum cooling that will main tain the indoor temperature fifteen or twenty degrees below the normal maximum outdoor temperature, and it cannot do much better than that. If you have not already concluded, you will, after owning your own cooling system, conclude that air conditioning units are very much like temperamental husbands, they must be "babied" a bit to assure top performance.

How much will it cost to buy, to install and to operate is, of course, a big question. According to an authority, one firm offers a central cooling' system, for installation in small, new or existing houses, that is aimed at the lowincome home owner. The unit has a ca-

Straus, 20

pacity of 2 horsepower (a ton of cooling is about equivalent to the effect of melting a ton of ice over 24 hours.

Roughly, a one-horsepower compressor produces a ton of cooling capacity. Room conditioners run from one-third to two tons, or horsepower, capacity), uses a prefabricated, insulated ductwork made of Fiberglas for air distribution. The price, installed, is said to be about $600.

Room units range from, $200 to $500 and more, at list price, depending on the size, location and the manufacturer.

Installation charges generally run from $40 to $100, and more if special work is needed.

As for opemiang costs one survey showed that a half horsepower room unit will boost the electric bill from $5 to $10 a month. And for a central system, various owners have reported their electric bill as follows: $27 for 35 days, $35.15 a month when operating constantly for four months, and $45 for 40 days. The size of the cooling system, climate and local power rate will affect the size of the electric bill. Despite seeming high costs, owners of air conditioning units overwhelmingly vote in their favor. Some go so far as to say that they would be willing to forego other, luxuries in order to maintain a pleasant climate the year round at home. ) • IT. • (--

THE GOLDEN SILENCE There is a story—I do not know its source—of an old man and a young man on the same platform before a vast audience of people.

A special program was being presented. As a part of the program each was to repeat from memory the words of the Twenty-third Psalm. The young man, trained in the best speech technique and drama, gave, in the language of the ancient silver-tongued orator, the words of the Psalm.

"The Lord is my shepherd . .." When he had finished, the audience clapped their hands and cheered, asking him for an encore so that they might hear again his voice.

Then the old gentleman, leaning heavily on his cane, stepped to the front of the same platform, and in feeble, shaking voice, repeated the same words—"The Lord is my shepherd .

But when he was seated no sound came from the listeners. Folks seemed to pray. In the silence the young man stood to make the following statement: "Friends, " he said, "I wish to make an explanation. You asked me to come back and repeat the Psalm, but you remained silent when my friend here was seated. The difference? I shall tell you. I know the Psalm, but he knows the Shepherd!"

Professor (irritated)--If there are any morons in the room, please stand up.

A long pause, and a lone freshman rose.

Professor—What, do you consider your self a moron?

Freshman—Well, not exactly that, sir; but I do hate to see you standing all alone by yourself.

WHAT CAN I DO? While we read much in tne newspapers about more sensational juvenile activities, it is good to be reminded that other young people are giving thought to the problems of international relations which will continue to play a major role in forming their lives, as it does for us today.

Here is an essay written by an 18year-old girl on the topic of permanent world peace. She tries to answer, "What Can I Do During the Next Five Years to Promote World Peace?"

I am an 18-year-old farm girl in a small town in Oregon. It is a logging community, and familiar to everyone's ear is the cry of "timber," and the sound of a powersaw snorting its way through the few remaining stands of second-growth fir and cottonwood. How hard it is for me to realize as I hoe in the warm sunshine and feel the firm, sandy soil beneath my feet that this tiny community is part of a clashing, struggling civilization that claws like a wild beast underneath while it clamors on the surface for world peace.

I have lived for 18 years on this earth.

During that time my parents have provided me with food and shelter, love and affection; the opportunity to grow up and go to school in a free country.

Teachers have taught me from books and opened new horizons of interest.

Townspeople have invited me in for a cookie, attended school functions, and were interested in the fact that I was a child growinge up. Now, after these years, the time has come for me to do what I can to make the world a better place for the children of tomorrow.

When I was in the fifth grade, Mrs. -- came to school one day. She had a flag with her. She stepped to the front of the room and as she unrolled the familiar Stars and Stripes, I wondered Why she had saved this tattered, faded flag. "Boys and girls," she cleared her throat, her voice a bit unsteady as the room grew quiet, "Boys and girls, after my son was killed four years ago, I kept this flag which covered his grave.

I'm leaving it here to fly above your school and I pray that none of you will ever have to be shipped home dead to your mother from a: strange land where you died for your country. Take this flag . . ." She couldn't go on. She left the room crying. I had never seen Mrs. -- cry before. I'll never forget that moment. I have a twin brother, a boy friend, cousins, and friends. Mrs. —'s son can only die once.

Next time, perhaps it will be me who stoops to remove a, faded flag from a

newly turned grave. In 18 years I have been taught to eat, to walk, to talk. to sing, to drive, and a thousand and one other things. But no one has ever taught me what to say in this moment when I ask myself, "What can I de during the next five years to promote permanent world peace?"

It does no good to look at the lives of famous people, living and dead, tc see what they did to answer the question. They are not I and I am not they This must be ,my own solution. However, the question is not mine alone.

It belongs to every man, woman, and child everywhere. If each answered it not only in words, but in deeds, to the best of his ability there would be no such question for generations to come.

4 •( HOW MUCH JUVENILE? How many juvenile policies have you written? OT don't your prospects have children? What about the younger teen-ager? Everybckly else talks about providing for the child's education. Have you ever depicted the advantages of having a paid-up life policy mature for this boy at a time in his life when, as a yoUng father, he can not only expect to be insurable, but young enough in the rate book to put a decent amount of added protection within his buying power.

Most men, when they cross the midforties, begin to creak at the joints.

They develop aches and pains. They are keenly aware of what it means to become uninsurable They know what a life insurance rate book does to men who dare to get old.

Remember, you are talking to the father who, consciously or subconsciously, wants desperately to spare his children the pitfalls and struggles to which he himself was exposed. Such a man is particularly susceptible to suggestions that may spare his offspring from such worries.

How many second generation insureds —grown and married—will you put on your books? Will they get there because they came to you, or because you went to them?

What happens when your prospect perchance decides that if you're not up on your life insurance you may not know as much about your business as he thinks you should? Will it make you feel any better if you discover that your competitor wasn't waiting until opportunity came knocking at his door, but had been preparing for occasions such as these?

DOPISY A NAIILEDY CLENU Vzpominky na distriktni sehtizi Sestry a bratti, Promirite, ze se zase vracim jet-Le do to nak distriktni sclatize sedmeho distriktu, ktera byla v Jourdanton 15. dubna 1956.

Byla ukoneena asi tak okolo etyt ho. din a to bylo videt, ze ZadnY nespechal domti, ale ze si ptal vice popovidat s jinYmi o tech nakch spolkovYch zalaitostech. A prave ten hloueek, kde jsem byl, mluvili a rokovali jsme o vecech, o nich by mohli vedet i ti, kteti zase vedle rokovali o jinYch zastojich . Nate roznalova se snesla v torn smeru, ze bychom se meli ptedevSim. postarat o nejakY dorost, abychom meli pro budoucnost dobrY vYber pracovnikti.

Jak jiZ to bYva,, tee se preruSuje novYmi ptichozimi. Neltdy zirstane jen pti naeatem a nedokoneenem nametu.

Prot()Ze se in! to aid zcirava, mykenka, o niZ jsme rokovali, tak z toho dtivodu chci si vyptijoit sloupce Vestniku, aby S'irk elenstvo zvedelo, jak jsem uvaZoval. Pak oni take mohou o torn ptemYket, ze bychom se men rozhlednout kolern sebe a co nejdkive hledati mezi elanstvem oddane pracovniky, kteti by byli venovati se praci pro nati SPJST, a kteti, dle nateho nazoru, by se osvedeili.

Pti torn mem uvaZovani jsem si zase vzponanel, to v teZe schtizi promluvil take bratr Jaroslav Kleprlik, kterY trZ pet rOkti, tedy od roku 1951, zastava idad tajemnika v kadu San Antonio eislo 133.

Bratr Kleprlik mluvil v distriktni schuzi vteobecne. Zminil se o kinhovne, irtulne, museu v budove Hlavni iitadovny, a take se ptimlouval vtele o sepsani dejin nak SPJST, eemZ kladl hlavni vahu na nutnou a neodkladnou spolupraci, vzajemne porozumeni, uptimnou oddanog t a lasku k praci pro spoleenou nak yec. Zvlatte mi utkvelo v pameti, kde mezi jinYm rekl, ze ji.Z ad syYch studentskYch let vtdy se rad yenoval praci pro dull.* ze neptestal ani po prijezdu sem do SpojenYch state, a ze bude tak delat dale, ji2 proto, ze ho to tek, 20 je to jeho konieek.

Znam bratra Kleprlika jiZ delk dobu.

0 jeho neobyeejne ochote pracovat pro jakYkoliv verejnY tieel, a take ovkm pro nak SPJST, presvedeil jsem se mnohokrat. Jeho uptimnost, nestrannost a 0chotase odraZi v Indio vidanem zajmu o Irk, co se tYka, nak Jednoty. Bylo to psi rUznYch prilelitostech, a take kdyZ jsme spoleene s ostatnimi bratry, jako eleny stanovniho vYboru sedmeho dis7 triktu, pracovali na zmenach pro zlep-

Beni nynejtich stanov; Pokud je mi znamo z jeho poznamek a z keei jinYch bratti, kteti ho delSi dobu znaji, bratr Kleprlik je synem ueitele, kterY svou vlastni snahou a prieinenina pozcieji dosahl hodnosti • teditele Skol, kde celY jeho Zivot byl venovan praci a ye prospech druhYch. Ze jsem trochu obeznamen se tkolstvim ye stare vlasti, tak ani dost malt) nepochybuji o vYbornern tkolnim yzdelani bratra Kleprlika, o jeho znamenite prriprave, o jtho bohatYch znalostech obchodnich a tot dobre zkuknosti tivotni. Proto si myslim, ze vtech techto vYbornYch vlastnosti, tak ridkYch ,rnezi ntmi, mohli bychom vhodne uplatniti v nat prospech, nevyjimaje jeho znalosti jazykove dovede ptednakti ye etytech reeich — jeho schopnost ovladati rychle a presne psaci stroj a delati si schtizich a ptednatkach poznamky tesnopisem (shorthand). Jeho znalost eeskeho tesnopisu by nam naramne mohla prospeti prz zachycovani rtiznYch eeskYch proslovti.

Z jeho eetnYch dopisn. ve Vestniku, a take z jeho proslovir ye schilzich distriktnich, vyrozumivam, Ze on neni z tech, kdo jen slibuji, ale ze je z tech, kteti nam davaji zaruku, ze jejich snahou jest dosahnouti Zadoucilao spoleeneho cile vtemi spravnYnal a poctivYmi cestami a moZnostmi, totiZ s opra ycloyou ltskou pracovati pro vtechny idealy SPJST. aeka alas mnoho prace. Nejednou bylo vzpomenuto na ritznYch intstech, chceme-li miti faulnu, tabotitte pro de ti, hnuti mladeZe, knibovnu, museum a sepsane dejiny naSi Jednoty, ze je tteba abychom nekoho meli, kdo by se techto rozmanitych nkolu ujal.

Z techto citivodir, i kdyZ se vteehny zamYkene podniky neuvedou v einnost, i kdyZ jen nektere z nich budeme chtit uskuteenit, bude zahodno, abychom neotaleli, ale opravdove a pilne nekoho hledali, kdo by se jednoho nebo vice ze jmenovanYch podnikti chopil. A mute se stati, ze bude potteba a my budeme prekvapeni a neptipraveni.

Mame vice Clem, kteti se mohou rov:nat bratru Kleprlikovi, kteti ye sve skromnosti se netlaei doptedu. A najdeme je vtude, kde je tteba tireinne a dobre price.

Sestry a bratti, jako jeden z vas povaZuji to trochu za svilj eleriskY tikol a bratrskou povinnost upozorniti VAS vtechny za zalaitosti ktere jiste budou v ptittim sjezdu projednavane.

V Jednote zaeind to take podobne.

Jsou ale tea mezi lidmi jedni, co rozumi mnohemu a toho, co se kde deje.

Jsou to ti, co maji vic svedomi a ohledu ku s yYm spolubliZnim neZ lasky k sobe. rikavali, Ze ti svedomiti na svete jeSte nebyli, kdyZ Btlh vyhanel Adama z Evou z raje.

To'a i v to nasi Jednote ozYva sa rozum. Tak to ma bYt. Pied kty, moc dobrYch odporueeni a i potom navrhfi ye sjezdech, se odrazilo posmechem. Byla to to prieina, co Jednotu ptivedlo skoro k upadku. Zavedeni okrsku znamenalo podniceni ohYnku pod panvou na ktere se ma uvarit chutna a i zdravi moc dobra poZivatina.

KaZdY elovek ma mezi nuioha jeho ptanimi jedno, co by elate, aby oproti nemu lide zachovavali spravedlnost. Lee btYi poctivYm sam ze sebe, k tomu je potreba hodne vedomosti a --- sily.
