DETSK1( ODBOR OTO JE UVAHA PSANA V NAT cleji, ze si ji ptedte kaZdY delegat. )3ylo by dobre, kdyby si kaZdY delegat ptedetl tuto stranku jegte jednou neZ pojede do sjezdu. A bylo by snad je gte lep gi, kdy by si toto eislo Vestniku vloZil do sveho zavazadla k jinYm pottebnYm ptedmettim, ktere s sebou vezme do sjezdu . Ptal bych si, aby tato pi edni stranka Vestniku, byla pro kakleho delegata stejne dillelita jako bude dista ko gile, kapesnik, holici potfeby.

Jedna se 0 budoucnost ,na gi SPJST. Jedna se o na ge deti. To znamend, ze jedna se o pti gti pracovniky, kteti kdysi povedou nag bratrskY spolek.

Minim to -wane. Neni to bombast, prazdna, mnohomluvnost.

Pted 45 lety byl poslan do schilze Karel Jonag dislo 28 v East Bernard dopis.

Kdy2 byl pkeeten, dleni se ptali jeden druheho, zdali znaji osobu, ktera ten dopis poslala. Vyna glo se, ze to byl nove ptistehovalY rolnik, kterY si nedaleko East 'Bernard zakoupil stoakrovou farmu: Napied se debatovalo, kdo byl pisatelem dopisii. AZ se eleni dohodli, kdo to asi maze laStti, teprve se jednalo o obsahti dopisu: My'g lenka dopisu byla jednomyslne schvalena, a tajemnik tadu, bratr Karel Keprta-dostal fikol, aby neznamemu pisateli odpovedel, Ze o navrhu se ye schtizi tadu Karel Jona§ eislo 28 jednalo, a aby neznamY pisatel se dostavil do tddove sine pti gti nedeli, aby se navrhovanY plan objasnil, lepe promyslel a pHpadne uskutednil. Tajemnik Keprta take oznamoval, ze eleni tadu Karel Jonag mail o vec velikY zajem a Ze se pHgti nedeli do sine v hojnem poetu dostavi. , MAI nedeli eekalo eleny pfekvapeni.

Misto rolnika dostavil se do schaze 191etY

mladik, jeho sen. Pak teprve vyAlo na jevo, Se dopis psal syn, nikoliv otec. A mladik ptivedl s sebou nekolik jinYch rnladikt stejneho smY gleni. TakovYrn zpfisobem byla u tadu Karel JonaA eislo 28 zalolena Telocviena Jednota Sokol East Bernard v roku 1911.

Napada mne, Se mel bych napsati podobnY dopis, jak jsem napsal pled 45 lety. Pouze s tim. rozdilem, Se misto adresovani je na jeden tad, mel bych ho adresovati na 157 tadii, vlastne na delegaty techto tad& Bez darSich slov pkichazim k jadru.

Bratti delegati: Ptijedete do sjezdu a budete jednati o rozmanitYch vecech.

1Budete voliti Utedniky pro dalS1 etyti Toky. Pro nektere z vas bude volba Utednito nejhtavnejS1 a nejdfileSitejE To ostatni bude se nekterYm z vas zdali jako plYtvani easem. Nebude varn zaleSet ani na ntulne, ani na Vestniku, ani na sestaveni dejin SPJST, ani na ye pro stare eleny, ani na organisaeni einnosti. To vSechno nechate na starosti tem zvolenYm Utednikilm. Bo, nekteti z vas nebudete mit zajem na opra.vdch nebo zmenach stanov, protoSe stanovni kniSku si zaenete prohliSet az kdyS uvidite, Se vedle vas sedici delegat se -WS do ni diva.

Je vAak jedna vec, bratti delegdti, na kterou bych vas vSechny chtel upozornit.

Starneme — a nevime to. Menime se den ode dne. A jak se sami menime, tak se meni i naS bratrskY spolek. A piece nak Jednota by nemusela nemela — starnout. NaS'e Jednota by nemela byti jako stojata voda v cisterne nebo v nadr2i.

ve skuteenosti. Deti pro Jednotu nerostou.

My dnes mame ye stanovach dvanact Mann o torn, jake pojiSteni davame svYm detem. Ale misto deti v Jednote, my mame Pouze poji gtene nalade lidi. Nic vice.

Chci vas, bratti delegati, upozorniti, Se bylo by lepSi, kdybychom y e stanovach na6li jen jeden elanek, a misto dvanacti &Lan meli dvanact iadu, kde by dal a omladina vedla sve sch(ize, kde by tyto omladinove krouZky mely sve firedniky, sve podniky, sve planovani, svou samospravu pod dohledem dvou nebo vice starS'ich PiSi take varn, sestry delegatky, tento otevrenY dopis, abyste si na sjezdu vzaly tuto jednu vec na starost, tuto hlavni Yee pro budoucnost nail SPJST. Domahejte se Vybudovani opravdoveho "Detskeho odboru." Az prijde doba kdy ve sjezdu budou se probirati stanovy, a az dojde na elanek 92, zvednete nektera z vas ruku a ptejte se, jestli se jedna skuteenY "DetskY odbor" nebo jen o PojiAt'ovani deti. Domluvte se mezi sebou, sestry delegdtky, ze jestli nic jineho sjezdu nebude vykonano od sester, aspori to prosadite, abychom v Jednote meli skupiny nebo krouSky nebo oddeleni, kde by se vychovavali nail budouci praCOVrnei pro domaci lady a take budouci hlavni vedouci.

Sestry delegatky, bude vas Ve sjezdu dosti sluSidY poeet. Vezmi4e si to za, sviij ukol, za svou povinnost, aby na;Se deti seznamily se lepsi s vasimi idealy, s vagi spolkovou einnosti.

Od bratra Chupicka, tajemnika Hlavni dradovny, prisel porad sjezdoveho jednani, kterY je uverejnenY na jinern mists tohoto eisla.. Cele sjezdove jednani je roz yrZ"eno na etyri dny. Sjezd zaene v pondeli 25. eervna a ukoneen bude ye etvrtek 28. eervna., Ov g em toto je rozvrh sjezdove prace, nezavaznk, pokusnY, vypracovanY tajemnikem Hlavni itradovny, aby prate se uspi g ila a zbyteene neprotahovala. Bude hodne zaleZet na samotnYch delegatech, zdali rikaZi dobrou Will a die 'nastineneho plahu budou pokrado-vati. Doufejme, e ano.

Mame pied sebou eelou fadu otazek, ktere budou piiedlehati k vyfe geni. Nejmene mesic pied sjezdem predseda a mistopredseda Hlavni firadovny ustanovuji trielennST poverujici vYbor, kterY zaene pracovati hned v nedeli 24 . eeryna.

VYbor byl jiZ vybran, ale nechci predbihati firednimu oznameni. lined po zaha.jeni sjezdu a krat g ich proslovech bude volen sjezdovY' predsecla, mistopredseda a sjezdovi tajemnici. Asi ze bude sjezd nucen voliti zapisovatele v fedi Ceske i anglicke, ponevadZ nekteri nasi delegati, jejichZ jmena byla oznamena v minalern eisle, daji prednost reel anglicke.

Argeehno nasvedeuje tomu, ze sedmnactk sjezd SPJST bude prvni v dejinach Jednoty, y e kterem bude pouZivano dvoujazyeneho rokovani. To u.Z bude treti a etvrta, generate nakch CeskYch pristehovalct, kteri budou miti slovo. To uz budou typieti AmeriCani, kteri mysli docela jinak nez typieti Oe g i. Ne ze by se za, ITC svSrcla matioek stydeli, ale east° je to uZ ree nezvykla na my'kenkove zachvevy, pri ktere reenik musi davati vice pozor na slava neZ na, my g lenku. keenik musi vice sousti • edit mysl na spra y y Y1:zy, mene na obraz a-nea zvykle napad, kterSr chce obyeejm i mi slovy vysvetliti. Proto asi nejeden z mlad gich delegatd zaene v cestine a skonci v anglietine. A zapisovatele museji zachytit oba projevy.

Byl jsem v zasettani Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu a take ve sjezdech jinych bratrskYch organisaci. Domnivam se, ze budeme se muset prizpusobit dnekoi done, budeme =set napodobit jina, vetsi zasedani, kde se v g echno verve zachycuje. Lonskeho roku koncem sari bonal se sjezd Zapadni Cesko-Bratrske Jednoty v Dallasu. Nekolik na g ich Mend SPJST bylo y yzvano, aby pronesli kratrec. Na zpateeni ceste z Si Narodniho bratrskehO kongresu v Kanade zastavil jsein se, abych se zdeastnil banketu a druhY den pozoroval jednani.

Ve sti'edu, clue 30, kv; ;.tna 1956 Take mne zavolali mikrofonu. Promluvil jsem, co jsem prave citil. Pozdeji dostal sem sjezdovY protokol v iihledne knani Uprave, kde nit:1j proslov byl uverejnen doslovne. Kdyby nekdo Z'adal mne hoed po mem proslovu, abych napsal, co jsem rekl, nedokazal bych to. ze cele jednani sjezdu bylo zachycovano rekordovacim pristrojem, stab se tak i memu proslovu.

Proto rikam, ze budeme se musci novYrn znasobinn. Sebelep g i zapisovatel nedokaZe zachytiti v g echno jednani. A nekdy easteena veta je hor g i neZ 2adna. Za tech dvacet osm let einnosti a, pozorova.ni rfiznYch nedorozumeni -astrednim telesu byl jsem nekolikrat svedkem. ze se g lo nazpet do zaznamn, aby se vystihnul pravY vYznam nektereho sjezdoveho usneseni. A kdyz se hledana veta na g la, nastala nova debata, zdali to bylo predlokno a prijato v torn nebo v jinem smyslu.

A en oclela. me se iadosti od Fadu Novi Osada Oslo 69, aby poverujici vYbor zjistil, ktery delegat preje si mluviti anglicky? Je to upozorneni jen od jednoho radu, ale snad by si to loran take jird deleg;ati, aby se vedelo, ze je jich vice, kteri davaji prednost anglietlne. Asi ze by to nevyZadovalo o mnoho vice zaznakdy'Z by poverujici vYbor na tuto malou zdvorilost pamatoval.

Lee vrdtim se k poradu sjezdoveho jednani. Doufejme, me nebudou ruins rozvlaene uvitaci reel a take me zpravy Urednikil, v3iborft, hlavniho lekare a redaktora nebudou dlouhe. Ve stanovach stoji, ze tyto zpravy mail byti jen za posledni -LH mesice pied sjezdem. Telly to by znamenalo jen zpravy za duben, b y eten a eerven. Jestli s tim nesoublasite, vyhod'te takove zbyteenosti jab ze sjezdoveho poradu, tak i ze stanov. Ne,ma to smysi, protok drive podane zpravy ftredniku a dodateene zpravy ve sjezdu budou miti mezeru. A jakou zprav y o6ekavate ode nine, redaktora, za posledni tri mesice? Nedostavate Vestnik ka.M9' tYden?

Mist() poda y ani dalkch zprav, ktere stejne nedaji se dilkladne rozebirat, mohli bychom venovati vice easu jednani o stanovach. A zde bude zmareno nejvi- ce sjezdoveho Casu, lee by stanovni Irrbor jests se zmuZil do to miry, ze by cele stanovy y e svem poslednim zasedani pied sjezdem znovu prepsal, hodne zkratil a podal jadrne a struene.

Jednoty, ale nekarn jinam.

Piitomny elanek o Ueda SPJST mel by bYti sestaven trochu lepe. Nemohli bychom tam pripojiti, e pOdnikame new vice .neZ poskytovati vYhodnou Zivotni ochranu? Nemohli bychom tarn pridati, Ze se starame..take o zachovani historickYch pamatek po CeskYch pionYrech v Texasu? My 'name jen to pojigteni, ale nic o kulturnim declictvi, nic o museu, o sestaveni dejin a udrZovani historickYch. zaznama SPJST. Take bychom tarn mohli pridati nejakou vetu, e radi bychom se , postarali nejen. o ty, kteri brzy zemteli a zanechali rodinu, ale take o ty, kdo zde mezi pami dlouho Ziji a pottebuji na geho soucitu nebo dohledu na sklonku sveho vysokeho a actyhodneho veku. To bychom si méli dati jako jeden z tech nej glechetnej gich neelU SPJST. Je to opravdu nevdeena. price, kterou dostane kaZdY predsjezdovY stanovni vYbor. Ale kdy Z je to povinnost, kterou vYbor prijal, snad by bylo za inodno tivaiti, co vlastne jineho neZ to Zivotni pojigteni davame svYm elentim. Kdysi jsme meli opatrovani nemocnYch a povinnou poctu zemtelemu.. Cum je nage Jednota bohatejk, tim je na ge bratrstvi chudobnejk. Nejsou to auta, ani televise, ani nedostatek- Casa. Je to prave ten elanek druhY—a hlavne cit a duch toho Olanku—kterY potPebuje dalladnou opravu. Mame 157 Pada. Kolik z nich muse Sc pochlubit. Ze je ve svem okoli strediskern nebo osou bratrskeho citeni, je o nem aspori jednou za pal roku nejaka pochvalna, zminka v mistnich novinach?

Kolik nagich bratrskYch Pada planuje takovou mistni slavnost, aby se o ni psalo ptedem v americkYch denicich? To je snad jedinY rad Praha eislo 29 v Taylor, kterSr miva pochvalne referaty v dennim mistnim tisku. A dejme tomu, Ze jsou nebo etyti tady, kde je ostatnich sto padesat?

KaidY nag sjezd byl jak-[Rnsi meznikern v dejinach SPJST. Kai-d sjezd nesl neco noveho. Co planujete letos, bratii delegati a sestry 'delegatky? Mate pied sebou nejakY ureitY cil? PremYgleli jste 0 fieelu Jednoty? Nebylo by lepgi vyhodit padesat zbyteenYch elanka z nagich stanov a misto nich racleji si Ha co chceme, aby Jednota vykonala pro nage deti a pro na ge starce? Nemusi to bYt tabotigte pro deti, ani atulna, pro starce, ale trochu vice pozornosti dorostu a trochu vice porozumeni pro ty, kdo se opet stavaji bezmocnYmi jako ty deti. A kdo to ma, Cleat? Napted delegati na, sjezdu prijati nejak)°7 oZivujici plan pro celou Jednotu, kterY by se pPedal k vykonani mistnim radam, jejich Utedniktim a vSr.bornm.

Strano. 3

Byl jsem minulou nedeli, 20. kvetna, pti oslave otevreni nova sine radu Needville eislo 81. Po mnoho let jsem jezdil kolem stare sine s jakYmsi nevyslovenYm smutkem, dosti silnY Pad, kterY ma dobre pracovniky, ma tak chatrnou spolkovou rnistnost, a Ze eleni si neuvedomi, jakou radost by sami meli z opravene sine. AZ pritomni atednici se odvaZili, co nikdo z èlenü neoeekaval. Pustill do vetru poznamku, sin se proda.

A k.dyZ se v jedne schtizi melo rozhodnout, zda by se prodej uskuteenil, maid spolkova sin nestaeila pojmout v gechny ty, kdo byli proti prodeji sine. A vYsledek? ttad dries ma novou spolkovou budovu, ktera dela nest nejen elentm radu Needville, ,ale take cele Jednote.

Pekne se vyjima. nova sin v mistech, kde pi-es etyticet roka stavala maid. budka.

Jak mnoho ztrouchniveleho dieva mame v cele Jednote! Jak mnoho malYch cliP najdeme v gude kolem sebe! A piece nic nedelame. Oekame snad, Ze se tyto pomery sarny napravi? Myslime.si, Ze upisovani novYch menu je to jedine, co ukazuje na g vzrast? Je dobre upsati milion noveho pojigteni za tit mesice, jak jsme to dokazali v late pried dvema lety. Ale to neni v gechno. Nage Jednota Iy mela miti je gte dalgi freely neZ jen prodavati pojigteni. A to meli bychom Si uvedomiti prase ted', kdy se bili-1 nag sjezd, kdy sejde se tech 225 delegata, jejich2 jmena byla v minulem Vestniku, aby rokovali a planovali budoucnost Jednoty. To melo by bYti v na gich .stanovach, abychom celou SPJST, aby mistni May byly jako veeli al, kde tc bzuei, kde se pracuje, kde nejsou sami veeli kterYm se kika, trubci, ale kde jsou take snakvi pracovnici. Nage Jednota by mela bYti spi ge Ake yeelin, celd tada M yYch fila, 157 dohromady, ktere by neco znamenaly.

kovSich trouchnivYch, mrtvYch Pada nagli bychom vice. ti je to vina, e nektere Pady tak zakrnely? Kdo je tim vinen, Ze tad nema ani pravidelne solarize, ani organisatora, ani ochotne nebo podnikave aredniky. ani zajmu pro jakoukoliv spolkovou praci? i je to vina, Ze se nic nepodnika ani v Hlavni atadovne, ani v distriktnich schazich, ani na sjezdu, aby Sc otazka podobnYch mrtvYch Pada vzala na pietics? Ci je to vina, Ze se voli do sjezdu delegat, kterY kje 125 mil od naista sveho radii, do scinize se nedostavi, jen se uvedomi? Co je platnY takovY delegat na sjezdu? Kolik on vi o praci u domaciho radu nebo o povinnostech dolegata? Jak on mute planovati neco pro budoucnost spolku?

Pottebovali hychom takove pro/wizen: mnoha Pada, jako se provedlo loni u du Slovanska Li-pa nebo letos u radu Needville. Pottebovali bychom odstraniti z nagich spolkovYch sini hodne trouchnivel° dteva. Takove veci path do sjezdu. Nevim, jak by se to nejlepe projednalo, zdali ve zprave hlavniho predsedy, kterY nav gtevuje tady, ty silne i ty slabe; nebo do zpravy hlavniho neetniho, kterY podava statnimu pojigt'ovani vYkaz o schazich mistnich tada; nebo sjezdovemu vYborti organisaenimu; nebo rediteli dotyeneho distriktu, kde takove kady existuji; ale nekdo by tyto nedostatky na geho spolkoveho kvota mei ye sjezdu prednesti.

Nekdo by mel podatl zpravu, kolik stoji na mrtvem bodu a jak dlouho; kolik radu ztratilo na s yYch elenech od minuleho sjezdu; kolik Pada pe.stuje pievel misto kvetin bratrstvi. To jsou zpravy zrovna tak pottebne jako zprava, mime 120% solvence. Zde je jinY druh "solvence." Zde je rez, ktera pogkozuje eistY gtit bratrstvi.

Nedivno jel jsem s manielkou do distriktni schaze. Za mnou v druhem autu nasledovali bratti J. M. krabanek a Rudy 8ef6ik. Prave jsme prijiZdeli k jednomu mistu. Zastavil jsem pod& cesty.

Druhe auto nine dohnalo a bratti Sc ptah po ptieine zastavky. Oznamoval jsem v mesteeku mame take mistni rad SPJST. "A je einnY?" ptal se bratr Sefeik. "Jestli je einnY, pozname a2 N distriktni schtizi, kde budeme za, dvacet minut." KdyZ byly ye schazi vyvolavany Pady, nikdo se od onoho radu neozval.

Neptijel ani pPedseda, ani tajemnik, ani delegat. Tento posledni je hodne daleko od domaciho tadu, aZ v Houstonu. Kdybych byl na povetujicim vYboru, jiste bych se ho dotazoval, elm ptispel k rozkvetu a vzrastu sveho radu za posledni etyti roky. Mohl bych si to dovolit, protole se o ZadnY arad neuchazim. A ta-

Mate, sestry a bratii, program sjezdoveho jednami. A do tohoto jednani musite si sami zaradit vi-Pe zminene veci.

Kai-d sjezd je nejakVin roeznikem. Kasjezd zanechal po sobe nejakou opravu, nejake zlengeni. Zlep geme sve domad i Pacly a einnost v nich. Zlepgeme‘ vYkonnost domacich arednika. Zlepgeme nad geni mezi domacinai eleny. A tini zlep gime nage schaze, na gi Jednotu.

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS

Ve stkedu, doe 30. kvetna 1956

Moje odpov'ecl' pokladniku Kolihovi NapPed musim se va.rn,. sestry a bratki, omluviti, ze pisi tento elanek. Ne main to ye zvyku. KdyZ mam s nejake nedorozumeni, radeji si to vykidim soukrome a osobne. V tomto pripadu jsem nucenY, abych vysvetlil 113Sim C",: lemlun skuteenou pravdu.

V minulerh eisle Vestniku byly vYriatky z protokolu schtze Hlavni fikadovny, ktera byla. 9. dubna tohoto roku. Stadia tarn, ae bylo nedorozumeni mezi pokladnikem Kolihou a ieditelem Skrabankem ttyri odstavce techto vYhatkh, snad na Zadost pokladnika Kolihy, byly yloleny do protokolu a uvefejneny ye Vestniku "doslovne." Ale neni to pravda. Je tarn jenom co si pokladnik Koliha sam sloPfitom bud' zapomnel, nebo schvalne prehlednul, co jsem ja ve schtizi pravil.

Pravil jsem ve schfizi Hlavni fikadovny, ae jsem se dozvedel, jak pokladnik Koliha ukazoval obrazky elentim Hlavni tradovny ve schuzi v lednu, kdy ja jsem byl prave po take operaci a nemohl jsem pkijit do schtize. Ty obrazky byly pokizene pokladnikem Kolihou za pritomnosti nekterYch jinYch fikednikil Hlavni utadovny a ukazovaly domky, na ktere jsem pied easem povolil pujeky od SPJST. Take mne pravili nekteki dieni SPJST, a nepatkili do Hlavni fadovny, ae pokladnik Koliha jim ty obrazky ukazoval. Pokladnik Koliha se pkiznal, ae obrazky ukazoval mezi naSimi Many a take firedniktim a reditelilm Hlavni hkadovny. Prato jsem se v dubnove schtzi ptal, proe mne nekdo z fikednikti nebo z keditelh nepovedel, jaka politika, se nebo jake chyby jsem spachal, abych je mohl napravit. Kdyby mne nekdo kaki, ae Main spatne pujeky, nebo .Ze nee° neni v potadku, tak bych to nemel za zle.

Zda se mne, Ze takova, Yee mela bYt oznamend bud' v lokeznu, kdy2 jsme byli pohromade celYch pet dni, kdy jsme pracovali na stanovach, anebo v dubnu pied schtizi, kdy jsme prohliZeli knihy. Piece Mani Hlavni fikadovny nemaji zatajovat jeden pied druhS7m takoVe *creel, ktere se tYkaji na gi SPJST. A kdy jsem se ye schazi ptal, proe rime nikdo nic nekekl neZ obrazky byly ukazovane ye vetejnosti, jenom jeden keditel se omlouval, Ze on nemyslel Ze obrazky videl take nekdo jinY, Pravil jsem, ae takove jednani neukazuje, ae Hlavni Uradovna pracuje jako jedna rodina. Ptal jsem se, co by druzi eleni rikali, kdyby byli na mem miste.

Nikdo mne neodpovedel. Chtel jsem yedet, jestli mne chteli druzi Mani Hlavni fikadovny podrazit nohy nebo nee° je'Ste horS'iho, kdyZ to liaechno drZeli v tajno-

(J. M, :Skrabanek)

tak, aby naSe Jednota s tins nikdy neutrl.pela.

VSechrly me Vijay jsou, dobre, sti a projedn avail to v dobe, kdy jsem • i a nemohl jsem byt ve jenom je treba, aby pokladnik Koliha byl po operac na ne lanai dohliZel. Na vSechny tyto otazky mne ZadTed' vysvetlim dva pkipady, o ktere nY neodpovedel. Take jsem fikal, ae jestli Mani nejake 'Spatne pujeky, poklad- se pokladnik Koliha tolik zajirnal, ae nik Koliha nebo kdokoliv jinY ma to ve vzal z nich obrazky. Jedna piajeka je schtizi predloZit, aby se to otevrene pro- zanesena na knihach Hlavni Afadovny jednalo, a ne si o torn povidat za mymi pod eislem REO 128. Tuto phjeku jsem prohlednul a schvalil, se dvema odhadzady.

Victoria, Texas Sestry a bratti: Doba sjezdu se rychle blili, kdy delegai budou hlasovat o novych zakonech pro naSi Jednotu na dalSi 4 roky, ktere nektere rady, distrikty a Hlavni fitadovna nal/tidy, a stanovni vYbor pro delegaty upravil Zajs:e si vSichni ptejeme, aby ty nove opravy stanov vcdly ku spckojenosti vSecti elenil, a na pcm4.haly ku rozkvetu Jed-L-1(•y as bude fikolem detegatt, aby pak • on. byli s ,. :okojeni se svou praci, kterou pro Jednotu vykonali.

Jestli se nemylim, noviny. A kdy je tarn v radiu pekna, bYval jeden hlas: na kaZdYch 25 elenti, laudba, tak posloucham, a kdy jsou tam a take jeden hlas, kterY tad mel jen vSelijake odrhovaeky, tak etu. Vloni jak do 25 elena. USettilo by se na ease

Ve stfedu, dne 30. kvetna 1956 penezich pri seitavani hlast ve sjezde.

V opravach stanov to zilstava nezmeneno.

Podle zmeneneho elanku 64, kterY navrhuje Hlavni firadovna, je mezi jinYm: 'Veechny dopisy a elanky nedilstojneho a pochybneho obsahu musi bYti redaktorem zaslan.y k uvaZeni a rozhodnuti Hlavni firadovne, phi eemZ veteina rozhoduje. To vypada, ze Hlavni teleso chce dostati redaktora pod svou kontrolu. To vypada, ze nedfiveruje Tiskovemu vYboru, ze propoueti to, co by Hlavni aradovna censorovala. Jsem proto, aby TiskovY vybor zustal jak je, neb kona, verve svou povinnost, neb ye yestniku nebYva, nic tak zavadneho, co by tam nemohlo bYt. V opravach stanov neni nikde zminka o utulne, kterou by ruela finanene Jednota podporovat z prebyteeneho fondu.

Tak ten navrh na fitulnu zfistava aZ do volnYch na,vrhu ve sjezdu kde delegati, budou-li chtit btulnu, musi se o to zasadit, aby byla postavena a zatizena.

Nemyslim, Ze by to Jednote uekodilo, kdyby' z toho prebytedneho milionu daroyal?, sto tisic na ten heel neb podle rychleho prirristku majetku Jednote by tech sto tisic ptielo brzy zpet do poklad-

ny.

Nebude-li ntulna postavena do doby, kdy to jakasi katastrof a na svet neb lidi prijde, ktere se bratr Chupick a mnozi jini lide obavaji, pak potom jiZ jisto na dlouhou dobu postavena nebude.

Nektere rady se rozhodly s postavenim fitulny nespechat. Ten nazor by se mohl pripodonnit ku ohrolenYm lidem povodni ei ohnem a pozorovatele z bezpeeneho /nista by si rekli "Nespechejme jim pomoci". Te pomoci je tern starYm lidem potfebi lined. Kdo lined a rychle pomaha., dvakrat pomaha. Pamatujme na yYznam. Podpora, Lidsko,st, a Bratrstvi, naee hesla.

Podle poznarnek bratra redaktora v eisle 19, NaSim eleninn od reda,ktora, se obavam, Ze se nag redaktor Valcik chce vzdati sveho redaktorstvi . A to by byla velika ztrata pro elenstvo Jednoty, neb on se snaZi burcovati 'deny k einnosti, poneuje nas a podava nam zpravy z Hlavni firadovny, ktere mime vedet. Ja a take jini eleni jej uznavame za nejschopnejerho redaktora, jakeho kdy Jednota mela, aekoliv i ti predeeli byli dobrYmi redaktory. To uznavam bez pochlebovani.

Jsou asi nekteti eleni, kteti by radi videli jeho odstup, kteti ho nemaji radi pro jeho kritiku, bez ohledu na to, Ze behem sveho redaktorstvi Vestniku vykonal mnoho dobra pro Jednotua jeji elenstvo. Je pravda, Ze kolik lidi. Ze je i tolik rtiznYch povah. Jsou povahy lehcp

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC

EST IK

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR

THIS WEEK, I SHOULD LIKE TO discuss the official paper of the SPJST, the Vestnik. It is a fairly important topic which will come uy for debate at the next convention. For that reason, the delegates should get additional information before they arrive at their own decision and conclusion as to what improvements, if any, should be made.

WHY DO WE PUBLISH AN OFFICIAL paper? We could answer it at a great length, and we could even find excuses which would be pretty flimsy, yet plausible. If you asked me what the Vestnik should stand for, I would say it hi three words: PROMOTION THROUGH INFORMATION. The Vestnik should contribute to the growth of the SPJST by giVing the members and the nonmembers the story of the SPJST. If we want to do it, if we want to promote the SPJST through honest " and objective information, we Must consider three things: the editor who prepares the contents of the Vestnik; the printer who works closely with the editor on making the Vestnik as attractive as possible for the money we spend on the Vestnik; and the readers or the SPJST members who should get definite benefit by reading the Vestnik.

THE VESTNIK DOES HAVE ONE great responsibility. It is the responsibility to report the truth comprehensively and objectively. There should be very few restrictions placed upon the editor. He should be honest, tolerant, and decent. He should have journalistic independence which does permit him to visit any meeting of the SPJST and gives, him access to all available facts, ideas. and opinions, regardless of source.

In the straight telling of facts lies the quickest solution of our problems. Make the editor to be fully responsible for what goes in the Vestnik. * * THE PRINTER HAS A GREAT DEAL to do with the appearance and attractiveness of the Vestnik. The editor and the printer must work hand in hand.

The editor and the printer complete each other and together make the Vestnik more pleasing, more readable. The

editor must furnish legible manuscript, and the printer must change the manuscripts into legible paper. What goes between the editor and the printer is not known to the readers, to the SPJST members. The editor and the printer have a. language of their own about "leading" and spacing," about "caps" and "boldface," about "en quads" and "8 .-point slugs," "galleys," "overruns," "indentions of 2 ems," letterspacing" "lowercase" and a whole vocabulary of words which are meaningless to an outsider. In my eight years of co-operating with the personnel of the Cechoslovak Publishing Company, we have worked out a system which I think is very efficient. If the delegates should get the idea to change the printer, I certainly would like to explain what such a change may involve. Even if I am not the editor any longer, I owe the delegates some explanation about the close relationship between the printer and the editor. * * LET US CONSIDER THE VESTNIK from the viewpoint of the members.

Somebody stated recently in one of the district meetings that only 25 e/, of the SPJST members read the Vestnik. I may be conceited, but I don't think the percentage is correct. I am of the opinion that the majority of the SPJST members do read the Vestnik, if only some parts of it. It is true that our official paper is bilingual, that is, printed in two languages. Some members read only one language, while others read the other section, and only a limited number of members read the entire issue. ♦ • WHILE BACK, I SUGGESTED THAT we alternate the Czech and the English section in such a way that one week the Czech part would be at the beginning and the following week the English would be in front. Some of the older members objected to this arrangement very passionately. But there is another way to satisfy everybody. We could have the Vestnik printed the way Brother Steiner proposed several years ago. He suggested that we have two fronts to the paper. If you read both sections, you come to the middle, turn

the issue the other way, or upside down, and start reading the other front page.

I believe that we could run one issue of the Vestnik in this form, and let the delegates at the convention decide.

THE MOTIVE BEHIND THE FEELING of the old members that we should give preference to the Czech language in our official paper may be quite worthy —a justified pride in race and culture, and a wish to preserve the cultural inheritance of the forefathers. But the task is not so simple as it sounds. No one possesses "knowledge of two languages" in an absolute sense. Even in our everyday talk most of us are limited in the number of subjects about which we can talk intelligently. Relatively few of us know the necessary terminology of radio, television, higher mathematics, philosophy, and so on.

*

VERY FEW OF OUR SPJST MEMbers would admit that their own children often show emotional maladjustment which is due to language experiences. If the parents do not speak English at all or most imperfectly, the child has to learn the Czech language. It is useful and necessary. But in absorbing it he develops the feeling that he is different from others in his group at school and at play. He is sometimes ashamed of his parents, not even knowing why, and he remains a kind of foreigner in his own country. He speaks to his parents in their language, and yet he know e that nearly everyone else speaks to them in English. Like all children, he adopts and he believes in the standards of the group he plays with.

He does not want to be different from others. It hurts to be different no matter if it is in dress, in manners, or in speech.

NOW, WHAT ABOUT THE PROPOSED change to have the Vestnik to be published only every other week? If the Vestnik is to serve what I say, promotion through information, wouldn't it be proper to overlook the promotional expense? Think of it, delegates. It will be left up to you to decide.

MY ANSWER TO TREASURER KOLIIIA First, I want to apologize, Sisters and Brothers; for writing this article. It is j net my Way of doing. I always like to work out my misunderstand individually and personally. But in this case I am compelled to enlighten our membership of true facts.

The minutes of our SupreMe Lodge meeting of April 9, 1956, were printed in the last- issue of the"‘Testnik and' in the minutes was stated that there was misund crstandin g between Treasurer Kolina and Director' Skrabanek. • That pailicillar section of the minutes In the minutes is claimed to be verbatith, whIch is not true. Treasurer Koliha told hiS "side -hf the story, but somehOW through oversight, or willingly, he fon:. got ''g hat aid.

I said to the whole Supreme Lodge that I tinderstood and was ,,told that Treasurer Koliha had shown pictures to the Supreme Lodge in the .January meeting when I was sick and unable to attend, which pictures he had taken with some other officers on some of the houses on which I approved loans. I also was told by outside membership that Treasurer Koliha had circulated the pictures among our membership.

Treasurer Koliha admitted that he' did show the pictures to other members outside of the officers and the directors.

I then asked why some one did not tell me that this was going on, because if I am making mistakes that I want to correct them. Also I would appreciate if I were given a notice to be more careful in case I were making bad loans.

Since all the officers and directors were with me in March and in April, five- day,s. amending the By-laws and three days checking the books before the April meeting, I should have been told befOre it was put out to the public and theroughly discussed in our official faMily. To the above objections I received only one answer from one director that he did not know that Treasurer Koliha circulated the pictures elsewhere. hl told them that I did not think we were working together like an official family should. I asked them if they were trying to trip me or what is wrong since they kept it secret. To all my objections there was no reply from anyone.

I asked them twice what they would do if were in my place, but still no rely.

I then told them that if I were making. bad loans, Treasurer Kohila or any one else should prefer charges and be oPen about it, instead of working behind my back.

(By J. ill. Skrabanek) In the :minutes, Treasurer Koliha makes a statement that I demanded an apology from Treasurer Koliha. Let me again make a correction to this part of the minutes. I did not at any time ask for an apolo gy. And I stated to the Supreme Lodge that I did not object to any one taking pictures. In fact, I would welcome the entire Supreme Lodge and all the membership to check on my loans whether or not they are bad loans.

In that meeting in April, I demanded, since I had been given wrong publicity to the membership of our Order, that Trea..surer Koliha. clarify this; and if not, then I will do so myself. To this issue, the President remarked that it will hurt the entire Supreme Lodge if it be put in the Vestnik.

Now I see that Treasurer Koliha had spread it in the minutes in his 'own way, "verbatim," word for word, still very much one-sided. He failed to re port what I said. I asked Treasurer KoJiha if he checked the other directors' loans, to which he answered "no." I asked if he took pictures of loans in ether districts. He again answered "No." I asked him if the SPJST lost any money on my loans. And again he answered "No." The two properties Treasurer Koliha refers to in the minutes are two pieces of property which belonged to a widow whose husband died and left no insurance. In order to keep from foreclosing on the property, I bought the two houses paying for her equity, and paid the SPJST $6,108.96 in full.

Attorney fee based on 10% of $2,086.71 208.67 Trustee fee 5; 1,- of -2,036.71 104.33 Recording fees for refusal to act resolution and appointment of Trustee 3.50 Sheriff—posting notices 5.00 Recording fees for sub-trustee deed 2.25 Federal Revenue Stamp for deed 1.10 Total amount to date $2,457.72 When I received the above statement I notified Treasurer Koliha that his statement did not include delinquent taxes since the time we made the loan.

Then I received a corrected statement which also included the delinquent taxes in the amount of $125.07. Thus, the total amount against the property was $2,582.79.

I appraised and approved the above loan, Number 6532, on May 7, 1952, for $2,000.00 at $30.00 monthly payments, at interest. The loan was reduced, on October 1, 1954, to 11,896.99. When we foreclosed on it, the amount against the property was $2,582.79. The house was vacant over a year. I sold it on contract basis for $2,650.00, at 6 %, in March 1956. Foreclosure on this property was ordered on December 7, 1954.

I do not know why it took one year to foreclose.

The other statement is REO (Real Estate Owned) Number 127: Unpaid principal balance $3,754.45 Interest Accrued to 12-6-55 211.70 State an 1 County Taxes Travel Expense

$3,966.15 61.75 3.60

The discussion in the April meeting ended with nothing accomplished. If this $4,031.50 is co-operation, or working together as Attorney fee based on 10% one big`family for the good of our Or389.09 of $3,890.94 der, I let the membership answer that.

Wednesday, May 30, 1956 at $55.00 monthly payment, bearing 6% interest, on July 7, 1952. This loan was reduced to $3,679.24 as of April 9, 1955.

It is my sincere belief that the difference of $1,132.85 and $685.80, which had to be added to the two properties, lies with Treasurer Koliha and not with me.

I also believe that when Treasurer Koliha took the pictures, he did not do so to protect the SPJST. Fraternally submitted, J. M. Skrabanek j •• SEVEN GOALS IN LIFE Talk to fifty people you know. Ask each the same question: "What is your goal in life?" You will get fifty answers, but I will wager that not more than two or three of your fifty friends will have a clear-cut idea of what his goal is.

The others will tell you they want retirement and ease, or a million dollars, or a trip around the world, or to see their children married off, to serve others. But not many will be able to describe a specific goal toward which they are working.

Yet without a goal you are going to be cheated out of most of the fun of working, because if you do not know what you are working toward you won't have the satisfaction of recognizing it when you attain it, don't you see?

Recently a psychologist outlined a seven-point goal that he believes everyone should have, regardless of what his specific aim in life is.

The first goal should be to win friends. Without friends all other goals are futile.

Second goal should be greater knowledge of and skill in handling others, in order to gain out of life what you want.

Third goal: success at work. There is a peculiar satisfaction in doing a good job which makes this goal one of the most important of all.

The fourth is happiness. That is evasive, and perhaps no one can tell what happiness is, how it is to be attained.

But it is worth working for.

The fifth goal is self-management.

The sixth goal, he says, is the acquisition of good mental habits, and that certainly is worth while in living a satisfactory life.

The final goal is helpful citizenship.

If you can integrate these with your indiVidual goal, you can be pretty sure of living a richer, better life.

There are several important items to be discussed. The last meeting in March was poorly attended so it will be nice if we had more members come to the meeting.

All the crops look good because thruout the months of April and May we had an abundance of rain. All the farmers are busy chopping and cultivating because the weeds loved the rain too.

The hegari is nearly ready to be cut and shocked and the maize will be ready to combine in three or four weeks.

The cotton looks good now but for a while last month we had to battle against insects, they tried to eat all of the cotton up so we had to poison several times. Some cotton wasn't hit quite so bad and it's started to bloom, but where the insects had it down bad, it's a little later, just starting to square.

Anyway, it looks like a good crop this year.

This is all until the next time I write.

REPORTS FROM DISTRICTS MINUTES OF THE EIGHTH MEETING OF DISTRICT ONE, SPJST Held in Schulenburg; with Lodge No. 67, Sunday, the 29th of April, 1956. The meeting was called to order at 1 p.m.

Brother Barina asked all to stand up for two minutes of silence to pay tribute of respect to those who passed away since our last meeting, and especially to the late Brother Alfred C. Stepan, president of District One..

Radio Advertising Proposal For the SPJST INTRODUCTION This proposal in its original form was first submitted to the Supreme Lodge of the SPJST on July 24, 1953; and the matter was considered at the Supreme Lodge meeting in Temple, Texas, on January 11, 1954. The minutes of that meeting state that the Supreme Lodge "agreed to defer radio advertising for the present"; and the writer knows of no, subsequent consideration of this matter by the Supreme Lodge.

The writer reviewed the history of this proposal and played an audition tape recording of the proposed program at the SPJST District Two meeting in Taylor, Texas, on April 29, 1956. The purpoSe of the presentation at the District Two meeting was to determine if the interest of SPJST members in this proposed activity was sufficiently great to justify the work of bringing the proposal • up to date and presenting it for the consideration of the delegates at the coning SPJST convention.

All commentary following the presentation, at the District Two meeting was favorable to the proposal and efforts will be made to present this matter at the convention in the least time-consuming manner. To permit accomplishment of that aim, the details of the proposal will be presented in the Vestnik as time and space permit for "beforehand" consideration by all lodge members and their convention delegates.

The only time required for this matter at the convention will be for playing the recording of the sample program and for any further explanations, discussion, or action which the delegates may wish to take concerning it.

To prevent any possible misinterpretation of purpose, this proposal was not made originally and is not being revived now in an effort to provide employment for the writer or business for any particular radio station. The writer hopes that his experience and expressed knowledge of and thoughts and views concerning this subject will serve the hest o interests of the SPJST and will help it to take another step forward in the direction of increased progress and prosperity. The final decision on this matter and on any details concerning it will be those of the convention delegates and/or those persons who already may have or to whom such authority may 'be delegated.

NEED FOR ADVERTISING Because the SPJST is endeavoring by nieans of organizers' sales training meetings and courses and other methods

(Revised May 24, 1956,

by Calvin C. Chervenka) to increase the amount of its inurance sales, an effective advertising campaign is needed to parallel and complement the other activities in this increased sales effort. Advertising would help decrease the inroads which commercial stock and other insurance companies are making into what normally and naturally should be SPJST sales. Advertising would help those organizers who "go out after sales" as well as those organizers who may still operate on the principle of offering SPJST insurance only to those persons who want it and approach the organizers concerning its purchase. In addition to its primary purpose of expounding the many fine selling points of the service which the SPJST has to offer, the advertising should be directed at making the initials SPJST familiar to everyone and explaining their true meaning. The "SPJST Story" can be told properly and effectively only by a well-planned, long range advertising and public relations activity.

ADVERTISING AREA In planning an advertising campaign, one of the first questions to be answered is "To whom and where shall the advertising appeal be directed?" For the SPJST, the logical answer to the first part of this question is to direct the appeal to (1) all Texans who are of Czech descent but who are not yet members of the SPJST and (2) all other eligible persons who could be interested in the service which the SPJST offers. For the most part, the second group of pe:ple mentioned above would be those persons who live among or rear t Czech people of TeXas, are naends, and regard them and their organizations highly.

Knowing to whom the advertising appeal is to be directed, it then becomes relatively easy to determine in what sections of the state the advertising campaign should be conducted; because the locations of existing SPJST lodges are also the locations of Czech settlements in Texas. Looking at a Texas state map showing the SPJST districts, one finds that the major portion of the Czech settlements are within an area which is formed by lines connecting the cities of Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio. Additional Czech settlements are located in the area surrounding the cities of Gainesville and Sherman, Wichita Falls and Seymour and Stamford,

Littlefield, San Angelo, Crockett, and Harlingen.

For the present time, it would seem that the SPJST should concentrate its advertising campaign in those parts of Texas where local SPJST lodges are already in operation but where insurance sales to eligible persons in either of the two above categories have not by any means reached the "saturation point."

Later, this advertising area may be expanded to include bordering areas and the entire state of Texas.

ADVERTISING MEDIUM Selecting an appropriate advertising medium permits a choice of such facilities as direct mail, newspapers, billboards, radio, television, and others. It is not the intent of this proposal to disqualify any of these various other advertising media. In fact, the SPJST is urged to consider and use any or all of them when it is considered advisable. However, the writer's purpose is to propose radio advertising; and the remainder of this discussion will be restricted to the subject of advertising in this one medium.

Radio is the most economical medium for delivery of the SPJST sales message to a maximum number of potential members. Radio advertising reaches many people because 95 per cent of all homes have radios and '75 per cent of all automobiles are equipped to receive the radio message. The economy of radio advertising is demonstrated by a reliable report that every one dollar spent for radio advertising will reach as many people as either $2 spent for TV, $3 spent for newspaper, or $4 spent for direct mail advertising.

Properly conducted radio advertising can be used continuously over a long period of time without becoming objectionable. Because the number of radio stations "purchased" can be varied, the coverage can be readily expanded, contracted, or concentrated as needed. Although there is no single station in Texas, which could cover the entire SPJST advertising area, there are several possible combinations of stations which would cover the area very well.

TYPE OF RADIO ADVERTISING In selecting the type of radio advertising to use, the choice is mainly between "spot" announcements and a regularly sponsored program. The cost of the "spot" announcement is very low, but their probable effectiveness for the SPJST is questionable because the sponsor would have very little control over their manner of presentation and over

Wednesday, May 30, 1956 the type of entertainment service which would be provided along with them.

Although it would be good to sponsor some new and unique radio program, it would be best for the SPJST to sponsor a "proven good thing"—a polka-type music program. In a 1951 survey results summary, "Polka Type Radio Programs in Texas," published by the writer in the January 30, 1952, Vestnik, it was shown that polka-type radio programs have long been and continue to be very popular in the same parts of Texas wherein the SPJST is already well established. Audience response to these programs indicates that listeners are always anxious to hear more of this polka, and waltz music which like the SPJST is mostly of Czech origin. Consequently, the SPJST would be rendering another service to many and would be helping to preserve the musical portion of the Czech culture in Texas by sponsoring a radio program which featured polka music.

However, it should not be assumed that only persons of Czech descent listen to polka programs. This lively music is to be enjoyed by a great many people of all nationalities. A great variety of this music is available on commercial records and transcriptions if the services of a "live" polka orchestra are not desired. When any advertising can be combined with a widely desired entertainment service, as a good polka music program would be, the advertising then becomes all the more effective.

SELECTING RADIO STATIONS FOR DESIRED COVERAGE If the ,SPJST undertakes sponsorship of a polka music 'program, care should be exercised in selecting the radio stations to be used. The cost of "air time" on these stations would comprise the greatest.portion of the total cost of the radio advertising activity; and selections should be made on the bases of pOwer and coverage, size and type of listening audience, and "air time" rate cf each station considered. It is recommended that a network of radio stations be selected on these bases to cover the entire SPJST advertising area. However, should the cost of a network which would cover the entire SPJST area be considered excessive, the program could be aired over a small number of stations on a trial basis to determine the effect of this advertising in a given area.

Then other stations could be added to this network as desired to obtain complete coverage. It is important to consider, however, that regardless of the number of stations included in any network ,the production costs change only slightly in comparison to the "air time"

Hanka neco promluvila ze sna, zvedl hlavu; ale po chvili nastalo zase tithe, a na neho znova priSly mySlenky, znova tahly jeho duSi jako vonne jarni vanky a ukolebavaly ho do sladkYch vzpominek; ale uZ se jim nepoddaval otrocky, naopak, rozhliZel se po nich strizlive a nakonec dospel tomu, ze si sla y -noste,jakprisvtezodirkl.

"Jednou tomu musi bYt konec! Je to hanba a Mich! Co by rekli fide! Jsem otec tri deti a hospodar! Musi bYt neer Takto se rozhodl, ale presto mu bylo echosi nevYslovne life.

"Staei, aby si 61evek jednou uzdu, a u2 se sprateli s d'ablem, ze ho pak ani smrt od. neho neodtrline!" ovaval horce.

HZ svitalo, cele nebe se odivalo jakoby v SedivY rubaS, ale Antek j&:ite nespal; a kdyZ mu bily den uZ nahliZel do °el, pribehla ho Hanka budit. Zvedl k ni zachmurenou tvar, ale byl k -ni podivne laskavV; sotvak mu rekla, s eim pozde veeer priSel kovar, pohladil ji po neueesanYch vlasech a reld: "KdyZ se to s tim svaZenim tak pavedlo, koupim ti neco na jarmarku."'

Hanka se zaradovala nad jeho laskavosti a hued zaeala, aby ta.ky koupil zasklenou skein na kuchynske nadobi, jakou maji varhanikovi.

"A potorn si vymysliS, ze potrebujeme i panske kanape," zasmal se, ale vSechno ji slibil a rychle vstal, prota,e prase eekala a byl eas vloZit krk pod jarmo a tahnout jako kaZdodenne.

Antek si vzpomnel, co se tu pied kratkou dobou zbehlo, a potrasl hlavou, kdy2, jak tu uZ svorne pracuji Lipeeti s repeckou Stechtou a ostatnimi.

"Nouze je privedla k rozumu. Bylo toho vkho zapotrebi, co?" rekl Filipovi, synu JagustYnky, kterY osekaval chvoji.

Cele dni vozil driyi na pilu a oddaval se praci s takovou zurivosti„ jako by -se chtel udrit na smrt; presto vSak neu• mrtvil v sobe vzpominky ani na Jagnu, ani na, ten neSt'astnY soud.

Ale i o kriminale premYSlel se zoofalstvim v dnSi. A z tohoto boje s vlastnim nitrem zahorkl, takle doma jednal krute a nesnaknlive. Hanka si marne larnala hlavu, marne se pokouSela ,vypatrat, co se mu stale. Z poeatku mela podezreni, ze se znova zapletl s Jagnou; ale ac mela oko bystre, nit nepozorovala, a kdyk zradna JagustYnka i ostatni tide pot yrzovali, ze ce napadne jeden druhelaJ strani a nikde se neschazeji, uklidnila se aspon v to veci.

Na ce.stach zastinenYch zahradami bylo jeg te tma, jen to a tarn slabe pronikala obilend stena a rybnik proraZel ze tiny trpytem hvezd, jeZ se v nem oclraZely.

Kdy2 Simek do gel aZ k mateine chainpd, zvolnil krok a pilne naslouchal, protole v zahradce u domu nekdo chodil a stale nee° potichu mumlal.

"Kdo je?" usly gel nahle matein bias.

Simek ztrnul a stanul se zatajenYm dechem, neodvaZil se ani hnout. Stara, kdyZ se nedodkala odpovedi, znova zadala prechazet.

Videl ji, jak se sune jako still pod stronly; vyhmatavala si cestu berliekou a odrikavala polohlasem litanie.

"Tlude se po noel jako Marek po pekle," pomyslil si 8nnek, Zalostne y zdychi a v fizkosti se ubiral . clal. "HryZe ji sveclomi!" opakoval si s hlubokYm uspokojenim, kdyZ vychazel na girokou rozjacienou cestu za mlYnem; nahle se dal do behu, jako by ho nekdo honil, nehledel ani na doliky, ani na kameny.

Zasta y il se teprve pod kriZem na rozcesti oodleske silnice. Bylo jegte tma, aby se inohl dat do price, 1 usedi pod kriZem, aby si trochu oddychl a vyekal svetla.

"Hodina zloclejin nerozezna g pole od lesa,'' zamrudel Simek a tekal odium pa kraji. Pole leZela je gte potopena do prevalujicich se temnot, ale na nebi zarilo stale vie zlatistYch pruhd svitani. eas mu pripadal dlouhY, zadal odilikavat modlitby; ale kdykoli se rukoa dotkl porosene zeme, ztracel slova a m ysill s rozkog i na to, ze uz jde na svo,je, na svilj grunt.

"Main to a nepustim te," premYglel hrde, radostne a s nesmirnou, vagnivoa. laskou hledel planoucima odima do tern-7 not, jen se vilely pod lesem, kde uz nail cekalosast korcu poll koupenYch od hrabete.

"Pritisknu si vas k srdci, drahou gkoye opugteni, a nepustim vas, co buda Ziv!" mumlal a pritahoval si koZich na rozhalena prsa, protole ho rozrazilo chladno; oprel se zady o kid a zahleden do svitani najednou usnul.

Kdy2 uZ se pole gerila jako vody giroko rozlite a obili rosou sive se ho dotYkalo kymacejichni se klasy, rovnYma nohama vyskodil.

"Je bilY den, dais k praci," za geptal a protahl si klekl pod kriZem k modlitbe, ale tentokrat modlitbu neodbYval, jako kdyZ ho honi, jak to obyeejne delaval, jen aby byl uz hotov... dnes nevzdychal, nebil se v prsa, nekriZoval:' se tak, at ho ruka brnela, dnes se modlil jinak, protoZ prosil o pomoc BoZi uprimne a z hloubi dude, aZ mu slzy tekly;

Ve stfedu, dne 30. k.velna 1956 objimaje nohy Krista Pana a hlecle vernYma °alma do jeho umueene, svate Tvastenal: "Pomoz mi, JeffSi milosrdnY!

Pocitil v sobe silu a odhodlani ke vtemu, byl tak dobre mysli, se se chopil teZ".kelp trakare a tlaeil jej jako pirko, pytne se ohliZeje po Lipcich, jeZ leZ'ely ni2, jette cele v mlhach, a z nichZ" bylo videt jenom kostelni vet enejici vysoko do vzduchu a hrajici v rannich eervancich pozlacenYm kriZem. "Uvidite! liej! Uvidite!" vykrikl Simek radostne pri vstupu na sve polnosti.

LeZely zrovna pod lesem, jednou stranou prilehaly k polim lipeckYm. Bole, smiluj se! Jake to vtak byly polnosti! Kus divokeho Ahoru, pinY doliku po cihelne, piny hrdmad tterku a kameni zarostleho trnim. Divizny, psi hermanek a koilskY tt'avel bujne rostly na vyvyteninach a tu a tam se uporne drZela zkroucena sosnieka, kupa olti nebo jalovce, zatim co se v dolinach na mokrYch mistech tyeilo siti s rakosim jako mladY les. Zkratka, pada byla takova, ze by pes nad ni zaplakal; i sam hrabe Simka zrazoval, ale mladY sedlak byl uminenY. "To je zrovna pro mire! Ja to dovedu i s takovou hlinou."

Matout mu taky domlouval a se strachem pohliZel na tu divokou planinu, kde jenom psi z dvorce slavili sve svatby, ale Simek vedl svou a rozhodne pro"U'Z jsem rekl! KdyZ" si elovek da, praci, je kakda zeme dobra."

A vzal ji, protole ji hrabe prodal la-. vino, po tedesati rublech za korec, a jette sliboval pomoc v drivi a rtiznYch maliekostech.

"Vida, pro'epak bych to nemel dat do poradku?" vykrikl Simek, kdyZ se planoucima alma rozhliZet po pozemku; postavil trakar na mez a zaeal obchazet hranice syYch poll, oznadene haluzemi zaraZenYmi do zeme.

Chodil zvolna, srdce mu v tithe, hluboke radosti bilo jako kla,divo a hrdlo se mu sviralo. Chodil a rovnal si po poradku v hlave vtechno, co delat, s eim zaeit. Ma to piece delat pro isebe, pro Nastieku, pro ptiAi rod Paeesti. . . proto se tak vypjal v pevne vuli jako hladovY vlk, kdy2 chytne berana a zatne zuby do Ziveho masa.

VESTN! K — WEST, TEX.AS Kdy.a ()betel celY pozemek, zaeal rozvakie vybirat misto pro chalupu.

"Je to tady krasne, yes mam naproti a les vedle, snaze bade opatrit drevo, taky v zime tu bude titeji," rozvaZoval a oznaeil kameny etyri Uhly; shodil koMob, polehnal se kriZem, naplivl si na ruce a dal se do rovnani zeme a vysekavani krovi.

ZlatistY den tiZ v:stal, ode vsi zaznivalo bueeni start, vyhanenYch na pastvu; jeraby skripaly, lide vychazeli do prate, po cestach lafeely vozy a lahodny vitr, ktery etveraell v obili, donaSel sem prertizne hlasy, kviky, tumy a tramoty.

Week° tlo jako kaZdY den, jenom Simek nehledel na nic a ztracel se Opine'v praci; nekdy narovnal hrbet, odhekl, protrel oei saute pottem a znova se primk1 k zemi jako nenasytna pijavka; podle sveho zvyku si stale cosi murnlal. . . hovoril s kaZdou veci jako s tivou.

KdY2 vyvaZel velikanske kameny, rekl: "VyleZely jste se, odpoealy jste si, ted' pomblete podeptit chalupu."

A Mi vysekavani trni si dobiral kere: "Nebrari se, blazne! Snad nemyslit, ze mi bude vzdorovat! To tak; necham tetu, aby si lide rortrhali kalhoty, ne?"

K prastarYm hromadam vybraneho kameni mluvil: "I s vami pohnu, co se mate takhle tlaeit na hromade! Z vas udelam deni kolem chleva, jako to maji u Borynit!"

A °boas, kdy2 nabiral dech, objimal svou semi milujicimi pohledy a horoucne Septal: "Ma jsi, ma! Nikdo mi te nevyrve!"

A jako by citil s tou ubohou zarostlou, jalovou, neirrodnou a opuStenou, lichotive, jako by mluvil s det'atkern, dodaval: "Jenom trotku poekej, chudaeku, dim te, nakrmiin te, vypiplam, ze budeg rodit jako ty ostatni. Neboj se, postaram se o tube, postaram."

Slunce vystoupilo nad pole a zasvitilo mu primo do tvare.

"Pane Bole, diky!" ieklSinzek, primhuruje oei.

"Zase se dela horko a sucho," dodal, protole slunce bylo dosti zaeervenale.

Brzo nato se ozval i cinabalek na kostele a nad lipeckYmi korniny se vznaAely zvolna sloupy clYmu. "Jedi bys ted', hospodari, co?" Simek si pritahl pas.

"Jen2e tobe matka neprhaese snidani, ba ne!" A Simon si smutne vzdychl.

Na podleskYch rolich se zarojili i jini line a davali se do prate ,na pozem-, cich neclavno zakoupenYch; Simek spaStacha PloSku, orajiciho parern statnYch koni. nraj, kdy ml doprejeS aspon jecl-

Josef Vachnik svaZel kameni na zaklady chalupy, Klomb se syny kopal kolem syYch poll prikop a Greta, fojtilv bratr, zrovna u krae nad cestou cosi dlouha rozmeroval tyei.

"To je misto jako delane na kr'emu," poznamenal Simek.

Greta oznaeil koliky vymerenY prostor a pritel si porozpravet.

"To ho, cleat za deset, jak vidim!"

GrelovYch oxich bylo videt "A cotpak toho nenI potreba? CO maul.? Jedny kalhoty a hole hnaty!" za< mrueel Simek, neustavaje v praci.

Greta mu poradil to i ono a vratil se na sve; po nem prichazeli ostatni, jeden s dobrym slovem, druhY na pohovor a treti jenom proto, aby si vykouril cigaretu a cenil zuby. Shriek odpovidal stale netrpeliven a nakonec vykrikl ostre na PloSku; "Kdyby sis radeji hledel sveho a druhYm neprekaZel!
