Ciste6ne vysvaleni neni vela pravda (J. M. 8kraloanek) Pokladnik Koliha podava, elentim, jak sani nravi, "easteene" vysvetleni. 0 mlouva se, Ze kdyby na muj dopis neodpoveclel, dosvedeovalo by to, Ze je vinen.

KdyZ itZ vysvetloval, mel podat Upine vysvetleni. Casteene vysvetleni je jenom castecna pravda, a to ani peed soudem neplati.

Na 31. prosince 1955 pokladnik Koliha oznamoval jednu piljeku pozadu s placenim. 13ylo promeg kano na firoku a na splatliach $722.97. Na 4. dubna 1956 dluZna pohledavka byla uZ $1,845.92. KdyZ jsem se ptal, eproe nezaplacena pohledavka se ye trech mesicich zvY gila o jedenact set, pokladnik Koliha vysvetlil, Ze dane nebyly placene za tr i roky a Ze SPJST musela ty dane zaplatit a pripoeitat k piljece.

Pokladnik Koliha vyzYva eleny: "Sarni si ucielejte rtsudek, zdali pokladnik. Jednoty zastava svilj firad spravne." To je to hlavni. Zastava svuj had "spravne" nebo jenom "easteene"? Jestli ano, proe nedolaledne na to, aby dluZnik nebyl pozadu tri roky s placenim dani?

Kdy2 pokladnik Koliha, zaeal ukazovat obrazky, ukaZeme si jich vice, aby to nebylo "easteene" vysvetleni. V race 1955 pokladnik Koliha prednegl ye schilzi Hlavni firadovny, Ze jistY dluZnik, za kterYm byla pohleclavka $4.964.77, nabizel vyrovnati se za $4,000 V hotovosti.

Hlavni ritadovna takove vyrovnani dlubu zamitla, naporudila prohlasti dluh za propadlY, vyvlastnit majetek (foreclosure) a proti dluZnikovi vyzvednouti tak zvanY "deficiency judgment," vyrovnani schodku soudni cestou. Majetek jsme vyvlastnili. Pozdeji pokladnik Koliha oznamoval, Ze ma kupce na tento majetek za $4,000. Zase nam to poclal jenom "easteene." Pozdfli jsme vynagli, Ze majetek koupil zpatky sam dluZnik a jeho S'vagr. Ztratili jsme $964.77 a "deficiency judgment" jsme si nevyzvedli.

Nebylo to v mem distriktu, tak se to vysvetlovat vubec nemusi.

Pdkladnik Koliha podava o dvou pnjekach v mem distriktu zas jen "easteene" vysvetleni. Podam celou pravdu. Pul pravdy neni Zadne svedectvi. Jednalo se o vdovati a jeji dluh na dva clomp. KdY-2 jeji mu2 zemrel, nenechal ji 'Zadne poji gteni. Znal jsem oba, vedel jsem o vdovinYch nesnazich, proto jsem Zadal ostatni deny, aby vdove damajetek prodat. Mela neli kolik nabidek, ale Zadna nebyla prim a- rena. Tak jsem vdove vyplatil jeji pada v majetku, a Jeclnote jsem zaplatil dianou eastku bez soadniho potahova-

ni a dalgich vYloh. Pokladnik Koliha pta, "Proe bratr 8krabanek nenechal majetky vyvlastnit Hlavni firadovnou, aby na nich udelala Hlavni Ufadovna penize?" Jedine proto, Ze na ge Jednota neni vydirajicim pOdnikem, ale je dosud bratrskYm spolkem, trebak mama firednika, kterY chce na vdove "udelat penize." Tady mohu opakovat jeho vlastni slova, "Sarni si udelejte Asudek, jestli pokladnik Jednoty zastava svilj irrad spravne." Je na gim heslem udelat na vdove penize? Anebo je na gim. heslem Podpora—Lidskost--Bratrstvi?

Snad nekdo rekne, Ze v atazkach obchodnich musi pokladnik Koliha jednati jako obchodnik. On ma pod dozorem nemovite majetky Jednoty. Jednou roone oznamuje v organu prijem a vyclani na tyto. Meli jsme miti v organu etyri. ni zpravy od pokladnika Kolihy. Nebyla tam ani jedna. KdyZ pronajmul velkou prizemni mistnost na tri roky, mel vystaviti najemnou smluvu. Jemu stadia Ustni dohoda. KdyZ najemnik newel Zadnou pisemnou smlouvu, vystehoval se. Jednota ztratila penize, prot62e cela Yee byla udelana, "easteene." Na vdove chtel udelat penize, najemnika na tri roky neuvazal.

A kdyZ pokladnik Jednoty zastava svilj firad spravne, bude dobre si pripomenout, Ze to vzalo cele dva roky vyrovnat nety po zemrelem Nemocenskem odboru. Cela Hlavni Nradovna musela to vymahat, aby pokladnik zastaval firad spravne, aby eleni dostali, co jim naleZelo, Pokladnik Koliha vzpomina si na jeden pripad, kterY mel nebo mohl vysvetlit hned pied etyrmi roky ve sjezdu v Houstonu. Vedeli jsme o pripadu v gichni Mani Hlavni uradovny, proto'ie vgichni jsme byli chybujici, ze nemeli jsme predtim Zadne takove pravidlo, aby Jednotu chranilo od vybraneho podvodnika. Pokladnik Koliha zase jenom "easteene" nadhazuje, co se stalo je-g0 pied houstonskYm sjezdem. Pri gla CCdost o pujcku na residenci pobliZ Houstonu. Dojel jsem tarn se dvema odhadeimi. Vzal dva ei tri obrazky to residence a priloZil je k na gemu odhadu. JenZe kdyZ se vypinovaly papiry, dluZnik udal jine eislo lotu a bloku, na kterem Cadna, residence nebyla. Byl to podvodnik, kterY takovYm zptsobein napalil sedm jinYch spoleenosti. Dostal za to 18 mesicti a Jednota dostala prazdnY lot. Byla to gkola pro vgechny pied pet ci sedmi roky. Stala se v mem distriktu, hla se stati jinde, stala se sedmi jinym.

Strana 6 Pokladnik Koliha mohl to oznamit da yno. Dnes mu to slavy nedoda. Od doby, kdy se nam to stab, davanie si vgichni lepS1 pozor. Nekdy Zadatel o pajeku , musi zaplatit $15 aZ $50 za yymeteni pozemku.

KdyZ pokladnik Koliha zastava svaj arad tak spra yne, zeptejte se ho, prod podepisuje prazdne eeky do zasoby?

Nebo se ho zeptejte, jestli co pokladnik Jednoty vi, de jakYch cennYch pap ru mame ulokne penize, ktere on jako pokladnik opatruje? Zeptejte se ho, jestli on, jako pokladnik, jde do banky s reditell, aby prohlednul a spodital bondy patiici Jednot y ? Zeptejte se ho, jestli jako pokladnik zna kombinaci bezpeene sehranky v bance, kde jsou naSe cenne .istiny? Zeptejte se ho, co jineho dela kiko pokladnik Jednoty krome dohliZe2.a majetkove pajeky a jednou za tti.

-oky doplaei nezaplacene dane dluZnika? Zeptejte se ho, prod vkchni atednici zamykaji sve iikadovny pies poledne? Zeptejte se ho, prod nak Nemocenska podpora byla pohtbena? Zeptejte se ho, kdo se ho pokalde zastal, kdy2 mel nedorozumeni s ostatnimi Utedniky jeSte ye Fayetteville?

Co chci jeSte dodati, neni Za,drie vychlouban. Kandy musi dosvedeit, Ze Jednota neztratila Zadne penize ne mych pajekach. Jsem reditelem jiZ jedenact a pal roku a zatu dobu vyvlastnili jsme jenom tri majetky na piljdky mnou s c h v a 1 e n C. Jedna ptijeka je ten prazdnY lot, kde na Das yybrouSenY podvodnik vyzral. Druha yyvlastnena pajeka ,je ten majetek, z ktereho pokladnik Koliha bral obrazky, kde pry misto Spalka jsou jen podpery 2x4, coZ je nesmysl. Majetek byl prodanY za cenu $650.00 vySSI iie2 co obnakla piljeka. Na treti yyvlastnenY majetek meli jsme nabidku o $1,100.00 vySSi neZ jsme na majetek pajeili, ale nabidku Hlavni Uradovna zamitla v dubnove schilzi 1956. Byl v mem distriktu vyvlastnenY late jim-7 majetek, to bylo dtive neZ jsem byl ditelem, a ten majetek byl prodanY vloni se ziskem $6,000.00. A kdyZ jsme byli trochu zkratka na penezich a ptichazely Zadosti od neelenil, tak s dovolenim cele Hlavni inadovny jsem ziskal za d ye ste tisic ($200,060.00) piljeek na 6% firoka, con ZadnY jinY teditel nenapodobil. alevklycky dostali 5% piljeky, pouze cizinctim jsem poeital 6%.

Tato debata netYka se jenom pokladnika, Kolihy a mne. Do jeho "easteeneho" vysvetlovani jsou zahrnuti take moji odhadei a etyti teditele, kteii me Vijay schvaluji. V dubnove schazi Zadal jsem celou Hlavni fitadovnu, aby vykttila me piljeky. Jscan ochotnY ukazat je komukoliv, kdo se o tuto vac zajima.

Za to dobu jedenact a pill roku odhadnul jsem za 'gest miliona ($6,039,000.00) Zadosti o pajeky. V torn samem Case bylo odhadnuto v druhYch distriktech za jedenact miliona ($11,792,000.00) piljaek.

DOPISY A NAI-11 EDY CLENCI Dallas, Texas Mill etenari Vestniku: Tak svatek matek je a za nami. Zbyly nam, mamam, pekne vzpominky na ty darky, jeZ nam nale deti z lasky daly.

Bylo mnoho basnieek napsano ye easopisech, nejen eeskYch, ale y e vlech reeich a vlechny zhodnocujici vYznam materstvi.

V blizke dobe, treti nedeli v eervnu, dude zase Den oted. Podle meho nazoru by ten svatek matek a otcii mel bYti odbYvan v jeden den a mel by se jmenovat den rodien. Deti by uletrily si praci, eas, penize s hledanim darkii. Ale to je jenom intij napad, kterY nikomu ne ynucull.

Jak jsem y am v prede gem dopise napsala, jela jsem na tYden k deeri a jeji rodine na nav gevu. A jak to obyeejne bYva, Ze kdyZ se vratim, eeka na mne tYden zanedbana korespondence a jinx prace, kterou pak dohanim. A proto jsem se -opozdila podekovat detem, je2 na programu Dne matek ucinkovaly v Sokolovne.

Neal to dues snadn3'7 ukol ridit jakYkoliv program s detaii, Tech eesky mluvicich deti je Cim dale tim mene, jak u2 jsem predege psala, ac materialu i dobre vide k rizeni detskYch programti mame lost. Horg je vybrat na to deti. Ti, kteri jsou 13 141 .ti, si mysli, ze uZ jsou prilis velci neinkovat na detskem programu. Tak jsem to s nimi chtela zkusit se zpevem. Telila jsem se, Ze se tern nalim starSim maminkam eeskou pisni zavdeeim. Zjednala jsem dobrou pianistku, pani Marii Nemcovou, ktera byla ochotna do Sokolovny v patek weer dojiklet a hrat. VZ"dy jsem ponZila laskavosti bratra Vla,di HoSka a s nine se do Sokolovny svezla Ale po nekolika zbyteene ztravenYeh yeeerech jsem toho nmsela nechat. Nel„)„“o u zajmu o zpev.

Bezi Cas. bell, vlecko s sebou meni„ co nebylo, prijde, co bVvalo, nevi.

A ono nine toho zklamard na posledni chvili Cekalo vie. V nedeli rano pied programem jsem se dovedela, Ze mi jedno pianove solo odpadne. Zazvonila jsem pani Nemcove a Zadala ii, jestli one by nam nahradila toto eislo. Velmi mne prekvapila svou pohotovosti. (Cela jeji 5elenna rodina jsou hudebnici.) Privezla sve tri deti. Nejmlad gi hoch Johnny zahral pianove solo. Julie trombon. Marian fletnu a s maminkou u piana zahraly "Home on the Ranch." A na ukoneeni

programu jsem vyzvala pani Nemcovou, aby k pocte maminek zahrala solo na piano, "Maminko, roam°, ::el bych rad na, chvilku vain si zaplakat," coZ bylo s poydekem obecenstvem prijato. Ja pain Nemcove za to jeji pohotovost dekuji. Take nine nekolikrat svezla domu.

Prominte, Z'e jsem ten program vzala od zadniho konce. Na ySteva nebyla y elika. P11111 ni ti star g elenove. Tech mlactlich tarn bylo velmi mai°, Pri otevreni programu mel peknou a procitenou Pee bratr Mirek Parma, nynejSi starosta jednoty sokolske. Priznam se, Ze my, kteri jsme s detail byli za jejsme jeho tee nesly§eli . Vlak 0becenstvu se zavdeeil.

Basnieku priyitani maminkam prednesla pekne Gloria Kalichova, a pak nam i zahrala solo lie tahaci harmoniku. Na toto male deveatko se mohu vZ-dy spolehnout. Je na ni videt vliv rodieO. AC oba zde rozeni, mluvi pekne Cesky Gloriu pridrZuji v Ceske reel a neboji se, Ze ji to bude na Skodu.

Pak zde mame dve deli Malikovy, Rudy a Evanka. Na nich je videt vliv eeske babieky, ktera u syna bydlela roky a vnoueata dobre Cesky naueila.

PFednesly spoleene "Mamineino srdeeko."

Pak nam Evanka, obleeena v kroji, prednesla peknou basnieku "Babiekam."

Kathy Parmova mela solo na piano, Jo Ann na tahaci harmoniku; obe deveatka Parmovy hrala, pekne.

Johnny Pokladnik prednes1 basnieku maminkam. Piisel na jevi gte s kytiekou v ruce a po prednesu hodil kytieku maminkam do hlediAte. Dva mall bratrieci, kteri vypadaji jako dvojeata, Robert a David PodhradskYch, jsou holl jako rtut'. Prednesli "My jsme mall yojaci." Tatinek jim zhotovil Cepice a mete.

Donald Hol'ek zahral d ye eisla na elektrickou kytaru a treti eislo komicke, ktere vyvolalo hodne smichu u obecenstva.

Ba nezvonili ani ti, kteri nine k -Loma vyzvali, abych se o Ceskou Skolu posta rala. Vim, Ce macho z vas by zahoclill flintu do Zita a rekli byste ci "Nae se budu o cizi deti starat, kdy2 oni sami.O to nestoji." Ale povaha Valaikove je Zevnata, to se tak honem bez boje ne vzda.

A hned se ochotne nabizela, ze pro lads neco piichysta, coa jsme s po yclekem odrnitly, ze se minime zdrZet jen malou envilku.

(Ano, slib)la jsem i manZelam J. F,,ChupickovYm, ale odpust`te, ze se mile to pro kratkost easu tentokrat nedalo ;splint.) Dojely jsme k Markiam do jejich noveho, kragneho domova.

V druZnem hovoru jsme se i zapomtrely podivat na hodiny. A je gte jsme tohe odpoledne chtely nav gtivit pana Matuie, kterY ta2 del gi dobu s tim srdeekern stun& My mu piejeme trvale uzdraveJii, aby jegte dlouha, leta mohl v torn kruhu sve rodiny a velkeho poetu piatel nZivat v klidu ovoce sve prace.

Zajely jsme za nine k jeho jedne dceti, kde bydli, a pobesedovali jsme si s nim po naiem.

Vzpominal sve cesty se svou manZelkou do Evropy v roce 1938. Ode gla mu pied rokem tam, odkud neni na,vratu. Je mu po smutno a s laskort na ni vzpomina.

U2 se schylovalo k veecru. Bylo nutno se rozlouelt. Nasedli jsme do auta a je 11 do maleho mesteeka Little River, kde _rodiec na geho zeta bydli a kde jsem zag tala Ira noc.

Pfigti den rano jsme vyjely na ohla-geriou nav gtevu do Taylor k rodine palm fardie a jeho pani Pranka Svobodo' vYch. KdyZ ja jsem piijela v roce 1913 do Houstonu, hned jsem zaela pracovat rudine fardie Jaroslava Dobia ge. Nyneji Svobodova, byla tenkrat male

Fara- Dobia g nag oddal a jell jsme po sva.tbe do Dallas a jsme zde od to doby. KaZdY jsme Ali nail piedureenou cestou ZA.votni.

Vedela jsem, ze pani Svobodova, je bYvala Helenka Dobia gova, ale nemela jsem plilelitost jet do Taylor a je navitivit. AZ letos v bieznu, kdy v Dallas mel lanai F. Svoboda u nas bohosluZby, k nam se s yYmi dvema chlapci, devet a pet let staki, ktere si pied rokem jako Ceske sirotky v Nemecku adoptovali, nahrazuji jjim rodieovskou lasku a peelive vychovavaji je v duchu kiest'anskein. Men k nam v pravodu pana a pani Rud. MalikovYch. Slibila jsem jim, jak mi bude mane, ze je navgtivim podivam se na viechny ty mnohe a vzacne staraitnosti, jen na sve fare maji umistnene. Mne staraitnosti a umelecke \reel veinal zajimaji. A opiravdu—maji tarn velmi stare d ye skiine, uZ. pies 300 let, a take malovanou truhlu s dvojitYm dnem, v niz nagi exulanti pied syYmi pronasledovateli schovavali bibli Kralickou a jine modlltebni knihy, z nich2 derpall posilu k viie 6eskobratrske.

V jedne to skiini ma farar Svoboda razne pamatky z posledni valky, kdy slouzil jako vojenskY kaplan. V jechaorn rohu je ruene vykladana skid), a na ni stoji rusk samovar. Na steno visi ruene malovand, tak zvana, "liitva", kam 'naie pra-prababidky ukladaly mora yskou keramiku, talife, hrnky i pantatovy fajfky ruene vykezavane. "Liitva" je peace umelecka. •Je videt na, viem tu kulturu teladej gi doby.

A col a2 pani Svobodova po dobrem obecle, kterY pro nag p ipravila, otevie la dye velke krabice obsahujici tii nadherne kroje. Jeden z nich zhotoven pro nevestu, zlatern a stkibrem skvostne vyivanY. Jeden mu2skY kroj z doma tkaneho lneneho platna, velmi krasne vy givanY, a tieti, ZenskY, take s velmi bohatYin vygivanim, a jine easti kroja. To bylo na maj mlYn. Maria velice rada krasne kroje, mediae u nas tri. Dovedu vychutnat a ocenit tu nadhcrnou praci, jiZ naie proste zany.. dovedou svou upracovanou rukou vytvoiit. Tyto Zeny se to ve gkolach neuei. Berou si motivy (uinelecke atvary) z pestrYch luenich kveta a dle nich vygivaji. Zadne skvosty a drahokamy nemaji pro mne to cenu jako krasnY kroj. Ale u2 dost o krojich. Nebyla bych s psa,nim u konce.

Pak nas lanai Svoboda vzal na problidku jejich Moraysko-bratrskeho kostelieka, kde je kazatelem a kterY je v

Vie je freelne postavene, nozdelene a stkvi se novotou. A jak ull jsem davno slyiela, ze fardi Svoboda je vYteenY kazatel (sama jsem ho bohuZel neslyg ela dosud kazat), elenove teto cirkve si sveho kazatele vaZ`i a spoleene delaji bohulibou slunu. A je nutno zde zhodnotit misionakkou praci manZelit SvobodovYch. Postarali se o dobre dornovy pro pet valeenYch sirotka eeskYcla z Nemecka a dostali sem u'Z' pet rodin.

Prave toho dne, kdy j gme tam byly, pbzvali na °bed 4elennou rodinu manZ• eKleinovYch a jejich dva chlapeeky, pet a tii roky stare. Piteli do Taylor pied tiemi dny a manZele Svobodovi jim zaopatfili byt a pro zaeatek nejnutnejil pro ne od vyptali.

Konaji svou samaritanskou povinnost dle Kristova ueeni a piikazani, "Cakoliv jste ucinili jednomu z mYch, nine jste ueinill."

Byl to pekne ztravenY den. Dojely jsme doma k veeeru. Prii-ti rano ze pojedeme k naladYm na farmu. Na ge dcera a net', totiZ manZele Ed. Adamovi, uZ nas, obe maminky, vyhlizeli.

Prave dokoneil niZgi obecnou ikolu a to s dvojim vyznamenanim. Dostal v poetech (arithmetic) diplom a modrou mash, a druha mu priila pogtou. A mimo toho dostal "American Legion Award."

Pani Adamova mela domluveno, ze pojecle v nedeli rano s pani Malikovou a pani Stranslcou do Hot Springs, Arkansas na 14 clni naeerpat tamnej gimi koupelemi novYch sil. Stargi Tide to potiebuji.

Meli jsme take Stedre darce do "fishpond" a do bingo a na listky dve ceny: e3ectricke samovary, ktere byly, darovany p. Elledge J. W. Motor prostrednictvim. bratra Henry Marka, kterY jest u nej v obchode zamestnan. Tyto d ye veci prinesly do pokladny radove $40.00. Brat' a sestra H. Markovi jsou na gi novi eleni i s jejich ditkarni a neda yno byl jejich obrazek ye Vestniku.

K slavnostnimu dnu se dostavili z Temple bratr Jos. Koliha, pokladnik, Karel Navratil, reditel 'druheho distriktu a mantele J. F. Chupikovi, tajemnik Hla,vni aradovny. Bratr Chupick, svoji pripravenou reel, ktera. trvala 15 minut, tentokrate prekonal sam sebe. Povedel posluchaefn, kterYch byl velkY poeet, to co snad nikdy nekteri neslySeli o naSi Jednote SPJST a o na gem Oeskoslovanskein narode. V odmenu byl east° preruSovart ye svoji reel hluenYrn potleskem pritomnYch. Recnii v obou reeich, a bylo to tentokrate vice net obyeejne poDiky, bratre Chupicku, tentokrate se Tvoje reo opravdu libila.

Pak nasledovalo predstavo yani kandidatft do yerejnYch firadil a pravnik p.

Burt Potter zaujimal misto ceremoniare, na starosti pritomne kandidaty privitat a predstavit a asi pa dvouhodinovem predstavovani a reeneni se shostil svojeho Reeneni kandidatit se trochu protahlo na delSi dobu. Natal potrebovali vice easu povedet to, co chteli. Ze jich bylo okolo 40, tot to trvalo d ye hodiny je vyslech-nout.

Ze vzdalenejSich mist jsem se dostal promluvit jen na potkani s bratrem Elegem z La Salle, Texas. s bratrem LeSikarem z Victorie, s bratrem Jaro Rektorikem z Robstown, s bratrem Henry Oablou ze Sinton. Pravil, ze jeho mantelka je doma churava. PreSla kdesi v blizkosti poison ivy (Skumpa). Mnoho lidi pak trpi kotni nemoci kteri jsou k tome nachylni.

Moje rnantelka take ze soboty na nedeli v foci onemocnela na taludek. Doktor byl v noel volanY, ale pravil, Se to musi poelkat at do ra,na net. budou lekarny otevrene. Pak v pul geste jsem jej zase volal, Prijel, bolest injekoi utiAil trochu a predepsanY lek jsem obstaral pri ramat utvirani lCkarny. Liolest pa-

malu ustupovala, ale mantelk,a byla nucena zastal v posteli.

Mela yypomahat v kuchyni pti to sla y -nostiale .Mpvoriaene v sobotu -neer a jinn potreby do kitchyne a pro bingo, tak jsem to rano odyeti do sine, kde i druhe naSe dve dcery'byly zamestnane.

Ja mel take vypomahat kde co k udeiani, ale musel jsem prijet domti, aby pacientka nebyla ponechana sama sobe.

Na Stesti lekar ji utrefil s leky. A ja, kdyt jsem zvedel, ze v Sokolovni jest velka, navSteva, a ze mne tam bude treba, tak jsem se tam rozjel a zase s netrpelivosti eekal na skon'eeni reenickeho programu, byv mezi tou dobou ye spojeni telefonickem s domovem.

Illava obtetka,na pinou radou malYch pcvinnosti nemohia snesti jeSte nezvykle napjeti; a proto, cteni navStevnici, bylo-li nekde nee° z moji strany prehlednuto, vezmete to laskave na vedomi "Hint° struenYin vysvetlenim.. K veberu, kdyt taludeent bolest easteene polevila, tak mantelka 112 to postel nechtela videt dale, a chtela, se divat u sine z auta, jak se nayStevnici bavi, at koneen.e se ocitla, uvnitt v Sokolovni, kde ono misto jest jeji druhy domov.

Nemusela ut pracovat, uylo tam po eelY den dosti ochotnYch pracovitYch rukou. V humoru od svojich pratel s fismevem prijirnala poznaanky, ze se chtela vYhnouti to kuchynske praci, ktera na ni eekala. Je dnes rada, ze nemusela docela napodobbit presidenta, Eisenhowera, aby musela jet do nemocnice a bYti operovana.

Take na iistku nemocnYcn se po deldobu naleza statenka sestra Barbora Regmundova. Sdkol bratr Victor Huff, postiten zapalem plic, se pozdravuje.

Net ukonehn, chci vSem jme: nem naSeho radu cislo 56 podRovat po bratrsky za vSechno, co pro tuto slavnost udelali, ktera se setkala s velikYm aspechem. Bez vaSi pomoci a prispeni by nas jiste bylo Cekalo fiasko. Majkova hudba po obede vSechny rozveselila, pekne se to neslo salein a katdY byl svateene naladen. Take weer pri taneeni zabave to bylo veselejSi i p o vaSeho Johna StaSu. • 0T, • Zachovejme zaklady S. P. J. S. T. Taylor, Texas Ctene sestry a bratri: Mtij dobrY otec byl take jednim z tech zakladatelft Texaske Jednoty a to radu MoraySti Bratri eislo 6, totit mezi Venn prvnimi zalotenYmi rady. Ja jsem se vtdycky citila, Se S. P. J. S. T. je na-m jejich "odkaz" a ze si Jednoty mame velice vaZit, pro Jednotu pracovat a ,ji hajit, aby nain zUstala to zasici lavezda

Ve stiedu, dne 27: Cervna 1956 v Texasu, jak jeji odznak nam pkedstavuje, aby se nehledela opidit ani ohliZet co druhe spoleenosti d_elaji, ale aby si razila cestu svoji na zaklade jak byla zaloteria. Jednota nedelala ani nebyla zalotena na tadnYch z ylaStnich vYhodach nikomu. KatdY elen a elenkyne, jakou pojistku si koupili, takou vYhodu i dostali.

Myslim asi 35 let si museli eleni platit do zalotniho fondu. A 'Se Jednota i po nekterYch citelnYch ztratach si zaeina dobre stati, tak tit i ti mladi se domahaji jakesi zasluhy, vYhody a °dineny, aby pro ne Jednota new udelala.

Napred by melo bYt pamatovane s odmenou na ty stare. VSeckYm elentim stejne, kteri jsou v Jednote 35 let a dosahli 65 let, aby dostali aleva a sve poplatky cele odpuStene, a ne az v 75 a 80 letech, ktereho veku se jich Indio dotije.

Vlada SpojenYch statn uznava davati pensi v 65 letech, a motna, jeSte to sniti na 60 let; tak proe nemnte Jednota Udelat stejne dobro vSem jak si toho slouti? Stejne eleni a olenkyne si drive nemohli koupit velike pojistky. At si lepSi stall, ze chteli si koupit vice pojistky, byli starS1 i meli jeden lisle a ut vice nedostali. Tak vetSina zastala jenom s tim jednim tisicem.

Ti start mnoho prodelali a zkusili byli vtdy opatrni. Museli bYti. OvSem ti mladi neradi to slySi. A mnohY mladY si mysli, ze bylo na svete vklycky tak dobte jak je nyni. Ale byl velikY pokrok a prevrat sveta, a bude jeSte vetSi pokrok. OvSem katdY elovek rad vicli ten pokrok i to uleheeni prate a pekne veci, a preje tear mladYm, ze se mall na s-vete laps'. Jenomte vSecko to pohodli vytadtije mnoho penez. Ti star' jsou jako vtdycky hodne opatrni. Ti mladi na to jinak hied', protote berou z hotoveho.

Ale lei* vtelycky s jistotou.

At dojde pro atulnu pro stare a museum, to by nejlepSi pasovalo pod jednon strechou, aby ti star' nepozbyli pomoo od vlady ("old age pension atd.")

Kdyt by Jednota postavila fitulnu, aneb • lepSi feeeno nemocnici, protae by musela se talotit na zaklade a zpasobu mocnice, tak by bylo lepSi postavit a zaSidit to pod "Directorship".

Jak pozoruji zpravu, ten pozemek 1116 akrti v Bastrop nese dobrY prijem a Jecthotti moo nestal. Tak by bylo zahodno tak velikY kus zeme neprodat, ale zvelebit. Prvne by mel bYt zvolen na sjezde vYbor to vSecko vySetrit, co by se tarn dalo udelat. Pak hledet dostat tam vodu, vyjedna,vat se "Soil Conservation Service" v ,jejicla distriktu, jestli by tam bylo motno dostat "watershed project."

My ve Williamson okresu mame dva takove "watershed projects", tamer vypracovane, jeclen je Brushy , Creek pro-

Vcsttedu, dne 27. eervna 1956 ject a druhY San Gabriel River water•. shed project.

My pattime pod Brushy Creek project, okolo ktereho se pracuje jiZ vice nd dva roky. Maji vyjednane,ze na Brushy Creek watershed project ye dvou okra• sich budou delat 56 hrazi aneb zastay na jezera vody, a take pro, zachoyani pridy. Vlada na to povolila 5 milionu 'do'aril, a jestli ptejde "Poage Bill" ye Washingtone,.tak vlada to ySeckc zaplati.

Jinak by museli ride platit dais na 30 rokir a zaplatit pet set tisic.

Toto se bude cleat pro dobro nielkych studni aby se zvelibila ztidla vody v semi. Nak Uroven podzemni vody klesla ptilf,S dolu poslednich par rokii. Studny ktere mely nevyeerpatelnou vodu 50 60 roku jsou imlne suche.

Kdyby se podatilo dostat jednu aneb dye takove vladni braze na ten pozemek do Bastrop, to uZ by bylo nem Ai by se taka zastava naphtha vodou a dostaly od statu nasally rybieek, tak za rok bylo by kam chodit na ryby.

Tabor Mladde by se mohl postavit a budovat jak by potteba yyZadovala, ale co by bylo nejvice potteba mit tam dohlilitele, Bylo nam take teeeno, ze by tam se nechalo udelat asi 80 akrii pole. To by staeilo pro rentYte; dale by se mnoho veci pestovat a chovat, takle by se oplatilo tam postavit staveni pro rentYee. Tak by i ty konieky mel kdo opatrovat a poklizet. VSak dnes obyeejni maji nastay ene "camp, houses" pti jezerach na rybateni aneb na honbu jelenii. Proe by si nemohl kaalY yYletnik ze zaeatku starat, kde bude spati a jak si sam navati? Take by tam mei mit "recreation hall" asi velikosti prvni poschodi naSi sine Praha eislo 29. Tak by tarn mobil taneit besedu, square dance a Pile taneeky. i vyaeovat letni cas &Stine. a didit hire sporty,.

Praia bych si, aby Coto ptiSlo jeSte yeas do tisku do sjezdu.

Tak na to hledi a pfeje sjezdu mnoho zdaru Marie Svadleriakova A

BROUtCI (Napsal Jan Karafiat) (Pokratovant.)

A kam pak si je dame?" — "I v gak my si na nejaka jmena vzpomeneme , A vklyt' tu svetnioku do dvora mame jegte prazdnou." A diouho to netrvalo, a meli Broueieka, a meli Janou gka, a ma. Janinka, a moll Svatojanka, a men Beninku. Deset jich meli, sedm brouekti a tri beru gky. Ale Beru gka byla na jednu noZku ehroma. Ani nemohla na ni stoupnout, behala v gak pi'ece dost. A kdyZ uZ nemohla, vzali ji broueci na ramena, a pekne ji nosili.

A meli se radi. Tatinek svitil, a maminka hospodarila, a vtcch &set Lucille-

Etruria lb kit behavalo pohromade . Maminka se za nimi divtvala, a srdce ji plesalo. A Janinka je mela take rad.a. "Pojd'te ,brou6.31. pojd'te. Main pro vas praci." A oni ji pekne delali, a ona Jim neco vypravovala, a pak, — i to se rozunii, to Jim nee() dala. "A ted' si zas jelete. Ale pane po• slouchat! Pan BUla ma jen posluSnO" broueky rad."

A oni zas Sii. Broad. se &ill litat, — se striSky at k palouku, a pies celY pa' louk at k dubu, a zas zpatky, — a beru,S. ky se divaly, kterY dal. A t o pak bYvai hlad, ale • to bYvai hlad! "Maminko, minko, to main hlad," rikaval Brotiehiek "Nebudeme jeste veteret? Ja jsem sotva doSel." --- "1 pockejte, pockejte, ti, at prijde tatmek." --- "Ale, maminko, vtdyt' my muzeme pak jeSte jednou y eeeret."

A tak veeereli, a kdyt priletel tatinek, zas s nim vedereli, a nie jim to neSkodilo. Ale ty male hrnicky na valeni musila maminka vSecky dat prye, a koupila takove velike hrnky. Za to ji beruSk9 v kuchyni pomahaly, a kdyt delala a tu ji vSickni pomahali. Jedni sekali, druzi odnag eli, a jini rovnali. To meli drivi, at nazbyt! A kdyt ut se dost hapomahali, beteli se probehnout.

A kdyt si jednou tak vybehli, — byla to hned po snidani, — a ut byli tam konec strane nedaleko potoka, tu videli takoveho 'hezounkeho rnalounkeho broueka: celinkY oervenY se sedmi eernYini puntieky, a to kraSna naka jako ohen.

Sedel na kapradi, a diva lse na broucky.

Broueci zustali stat, a divali se na neho.

"Vg ak ja se vas nebojirn," meal ten broueek. "Vid'te, vy jste svatojanci. Tatinek povidal, te jste hodni." — "A kdo pak ti jsi? A co pak tu deldS?" "Ja, jsem Verunek tamhle ze sipku. Vidite jej?

Ja jsem vyprovazel tatinka, a ted' si odpoeivam." — A ty jsi sam? Nemate vie broueka?" — "I jeSte "name Verunecku.

Ale ona jest doma u maminky. Pojd'te Se na ni podivat." A broueci te pujdou., a gli.

Verunka stala pod Sipkem, a divala so.

"Maminko, podivejte se, to jest svatojankfi. Oni se jdou k nano. podivat. Kde pak jest Veruneeka?" A Veruneeka pribehla, a — t a se jim divilal. Kdyt jich bylo cleset! — "A co pak se ty, beruSko, nechavaS nosit?" ptala se Verunka. "I oni jsou radi, to mile mohou nos t. jsem tadyhle na tu notieku chroina, ale j a umim take behat."

NUMBER 26

A WORD FRQM THE PUBLISHER WE ARE RUSHING THIS ISSUE OF the Vestnik for two main reasons. First, we would like to give the personnel in the printing office a deserved breathing spell after the rush we had with the special preconvention issue. Second, we place this issue in the hands of the delegate's by Tuesday, the second day of the convention in Temple.

When the delegates receive this issue, they may not know what to think of it. They will discover to their amazement that the Czech and English sections have their own front pages and sections. It is not an error. It is a new idea which the publisher puts in the hands of the delegates for their consideration, approval or rejection.

Many times in the past there had been suggestions that the Czech and the English sections should alternate. The issue is divided about equally, sixteen pages of each. The younger members who prefer the English section would like to see their preferred reading matter placed in front, at least occasionally.

The older members thing that such a concession would violate the spirit of Article 2 of the By-laws.

We present, to the delegates this unusual .solution. It will solve the problem of which section should come first or who should give in. By this arrangement, if the delegates of the present 17th convention approve our suggestion, each section—Czech and English—would have its appropriate title page and would be folloWed by a number of pages allocated to each section. Those of you who read both sections would have your choice to select the section which you prefer, read it, and then start reading the other section from the first page.

This is a sample which we respectfully submit to you, the delegates. If you don't like it, we will go back to the former arrangement—the Czech section on the outside and the English section starting on page eleven.

May we also take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude to all of our tilemi.:ers and to ail of you, delegates of the seventeenth convention, for your and sincere co-operation with us.

On your part, we have received nocom-

Never Know We never know which things, may he the last ones, Which laugh, which word, which song, Which dream, which tear May be the final and the one forever Stamped on this world --a sign that we were here.

It is so small a bridge; we daily face it -A step, a breath untaken, and a heart Missing but one sure beat, and it is over, This world beyond recall; so we depart!

A laugh, a word, a song, a tear, . a dreaming, r A kiss, a frown, a hope, a smile, a a sigh . . .

4 We never know which of these shall be final ----The parting gift, the cherished, last "goodbye". plaints that you would not be satisfied with our publishing of the Vestnik. On the contrary, many of you expressed perfect satisfaction with the services we have rendered in connection with the printing of the Vestnik.

On our part, we have clone everything

within our power to give you the best.

We went even a great deal further than what we nromised at the last convenLion. We bought new machinery to get the Vestnik to you without delay. We were fortunate to obtain carloads of better grade paper to give you high quality printing at the same price.

Printing costs, as with everything else, in this age, are much higher than what they were four years ago. Yet, in spite of the higher costs of everything, the material, the labor, the postage, we do claim that we have given you full value for every dollar you have spent on the Vestnik.

We have taken pride in printing the official paper of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas. We have done it since January 1, 1933, and we have tried to put out the kind of paper which, from the printing knowhow, would be a credit to us and also to the SPJST. We have tried to give you the paper you want for the money you wish to spend on it, with the least chance of errors and the least cost to you. In the twenty-four years of serving you, we were delayed only twice; once by the death of Brother Moucka, the editor; and the second time by fire early morning on the day the Vestnik was to be printed.

We are asking our friends, delegates of the XVII convention, to honor us by giving us a contract to continue publishing of Vestnik as we did in the past.

We pledge to do our level best to make improvements whenever possible and continue prompt and efficient service. teraternally yours, CECHOSLOVAK PUBLISHING CO., Jos. F. Holasek, Pres.

Jerome Kopecky,,Sec.-Treas.

Brother Otto Ham's Ann ounes For Vice Pre Waco, Texas • Dear Sisters and Brothers: After many weeks of deliberations my love for our SPJST has scored a victory „nct have decided to seek the office Of Vice President of the Supreme Lodge.

To me it does not mean personal glory; rather, on the contrary, it means the leaving of employment that carries a very promising future. But I have watched our SPJST grow for more than 50 years attending meetings long before 1 was eligible to become a memI I believe that the future of our SPJST is very promising and the love for our SPJST has decided me to do somethin g for it. ;; , i,Five times I have been employed by Sears, Roebuck and Company. My exper rience is some 15 years of advertising and sales promotion work, some 15 years o.snuanager of the farm stores, in Waco, Oklahoma City and San Antonio. I was sent to Oklahoma City to rebuild the farm store there. When this job was satisfactorily completed I came back to „Waco, and was again transferred to San Antonio to rebuild the farm store there; and when the new store was completed I was placed in charge of it and supervised the other store. In October of last ;' year I returned to Waco- and resigned `Iny position to go in business for myelf. I was contacted by my present ern-, ployers and worked out a plan and I went to work for them as Texas RepA:esentative. Since that time I have se. cured some 350 active accounts selling our products throughout the entire state.

My plattorn' is. . .

1.To equitably distribute part of our surplus to our members on the basis eof their membership.

2. I am for preservation of that which was built for us by our forefathers.

3. I am for an Old Folks Home on the ha,is that we will build for immediate needs now; and future needs in the fitture as the need becomes a reality on the pattern of the Baptist Children Home is in Round Rock, Texas.

4; I am. for Youth Department, and I believe that it would make our Order grow if we gave the younger members opportunity to form their own groups and to Manage themselves under our guidance.

5:To work with our districts with true fraternal fellowship to help educate our local and district organizers and assist them in every way possible. I believe that our districts have done us a lot of good.

6. I pledge myself to work with every

officer of the Supreme Lodge in true views of every controversy; to work for our SPJST sincerely and to assist wherever it is possible.

7. I am- for the vice president to become active and to be responsible for organizational work, advertising, Old Folks Home if it is built, and for the Youth Department of our SPJST. I pledge to study every phase of the work to thoroughly enlarge my abilities.

8. I pledge every assistance to help the small inactive SPJST lodges to render every aid possible so that they too can become active such as our Linden Lodge No. 66 nad proudly start going forward.

9. I am for Vestnik in the present form as published today and preferably On better paper.

10. I am for the Editor and our Attorney to maintain their offices in our SupreMe Lodge as this will mean a substantial saving in both time and money.

I pledge further that if I am honored with the office of vice president that 1 will go to Purdue University and study a course in fraternal underwriting and earn the title of Fraternal Insurance Counselor. That I will thoroughly familiarize myself with every phase of organizational work.

I believe that a well worked out plan for our SPJST will bring us results beyond any expectations. For instance, when we held regular educational and pep meetings during 1954 our production has far exceeded the results in 1955 when we slacked up our efforts in our activities. I believe, Brothers and Sisters, that this work must go on in ever increasing volume and that we will have to continue the education of our local and district organizers and encourage them in their work.

Sly present employment requires my full time so that I don't have the opportunity to work for our SPJST; therefore, I have decided to seek the office of Vice President of the Supreme Lodge.

I pledge to you, sister and brother delegates, that if I am honored with the opportunity to work in the Supreme Lodge that I will work conscientiously and honestly to the best of my ability and to carry out the work entrusted to me thoroughly and efficiently and to serve every one equally. I humbly ask you, sister. and brother delegates, for your consideration, influence and when You elect a vice president to think of me.

I wish the 17th SPJST Convention all the success possible; and I sincerely hope that it will bring all Of us many

new things to help us build the SPJST into the biggest and best fraternal order in the Nation.

Fraternally yours, Otto Hanus R-3 ( WE MISSED DALLAS LODGE NO. 84

The Dallas News, Thursday, June 14, 1956 issue, had an article about Brother John Kucera who is scheduled to retire soon after more than 50 years with the Santa Fe Railway Company.

Just to be sure that Brother John Kucera is one of the charter members of Pokrok Dallas Lodge No. 84, your editor checked the list published in the preconvention issue. To my surprise I discovered that the charter members of Dallas Lodge, and also the charter members of Pokrok, Haskell Lodge No. 85, had been left out.

If it were not for the article about Brother Kucera, I might not have noticed the omission. Here is the story about the days when aa railroad ticket from Dahas to Oak Cliff co , t fifteen cents. That was in the days when Pokrok Dallas Lodge No. 84 came into existence.

In southern Oak Cliff near the new Santa Fe-Marsalis Park overpa.;s, a sign board bearing the name "0'''- Cliff" stands like a sentinel watcuing the march 'of progress.

The sign once stood' besiOe. Santa Fe railroad station '1()e, torn away. It was here at the turn of the century that people came to board the Santa Fe for Dallas.

Today the sign is painted and kept in condition by Santa Fe section hands.

Only recently the old sign, a historic marker of a bygone day, received new paint. But railway employees said the same post stanch that was. first erected there some 60 years ago.

John Kucera, city ticket agent for the Santa Fe, who will retire on Oct. 31 upon reaching his seventieth birthday, recalls selling tickets to Oak Cliff from Dallas fo r15c.

The Oak Cliff station was a flag stop on the Santa Fe, with two daily passenger trains en route to Dallas and two to Cleburne available for stops on signal.

• •( You'll find. just about three kinds of folks in the world: The wills, the won'ts and the cants. The first get everything done; the second are against everything; the third fail in everything.

We are sorry to report that one of our faithful members, Joe Lukovsky, is confined to a sanitarium in San Antoio, for a rest cure. Joe, our thoughts and prayers are with you; be mtient in your suffering and separation from your loved ones, for I have heard it said that by being patient and serene in this kind of illness, half the battle of regaining one's health, is won.

Sincerely, Rose Helweg ) LODGE SLOVANSKA LIPA NO. 66 Waco, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: The regular meeting of SPJST Lodge No. 66 on Sunday, June 10, at Linden Hall, was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Sister Hattie I\4.atus.

We were happy to have as visitors Mr. and Mrs. John C. Simcik and sons, Johnny and Charles.

In a special ceremony honoring fathers, Brother Roman Parma' was crowned Father of the Month. He was presented several nice gifts. Following we all enjoyed the drill by the youth.

We are proud to welcome as our new member Sister Ava Rae Regmund. She is the daughter of Brother and Sister Raymond Regmund. Also Mr. and Mrs. Otto Matus were introduced as new candidates. We are very happy to have them join us.

Members of the Birthday Club celebrating June birthdays are Sister Rose Sirncik, Brother John Simcik, Sister Margaret Narovec, Sister Emma Ceska, Sister Emogene Hanus, Brother Albert Casper Jr., Sister Elaine Reznicek, and Sister Margie Matus.

Announcement was made of the engagement of Sister Shirley Hanus to Emmitt Attaway. The wedding will be in July. Shirley is the daughter of Brother and Sister Emil Hanus, 1918 South 15th Street, Waco. We all wish Shirley and Emmitt much happiness.

Following the business meeting we all enjoyed a delicious buffet supper.

Our next meeting will be held at Linden Hall on Sunday, July 8, at 2:30 p. in. Plans for the 50th Anniversary celebration of Lodge Slovanska Lipa will be made. Every member should be present for this very important meeting. We hope you will make your plans now to attend.

Fraternally yours, Emma Ceska

LODGE ANTON J. CERMAK NO. 56 Corpus Christi, Texas Brothers and Sisters: Lodge 56, Anton J. Cermak, will hold its meeting July 1 instead of the second Sunday of the month. The meeting will be one week earlier because Corpus Christi Sokol is having a picnic on that Sunday.

What a relief that our annual picnic is in the past. Many members put in many hard working hours in the project but it paid off. There was a large crowd at noon as all the political candidates had their first political rally following the,noon meal.

Mr: J. W. Elledge of J. W. Elledge Motor Co. donated to the Lodge two copper Westinghouse deep fryers. Lodge members sold chances on these two items and it brought a nice profit for the Lodge. One of the lucky winners was Brother Adolph Pilot of Lodge Corpus Christi No. 79. Congratulations to you and I am glad that a fellow member won a prize.

The fish pond was a fine attraction for the small fry. There were few children that fished constantly. I bet their parents wished there wasn't a thing such as the fish pond, but anything is good to raise money for the good of the Lodge. The bingo made a little sum of money.

In our committee meeting we decided that the game was not to be started until the political speeches were over.

Just like always, the speaking was to be ended at 3:30 p.m., but no, it lasted till 5 p.m., therefore we had a late start and many articles were left over. Maybe this can be solved at a later date and dispose of the gifts.

It surely is hot and dry here. All of that rain (14 inches) and now it is dry. Too much water at one time, and when that hot month of June comes around, the moisture doesn't last long.

The corn crop is good, in fact it's the best we've had in the last seven years.

All in all, we just need a good general rain.

The lodge members' wish Sister Barbara Regmund a speedy recovery. She has been on the sick list for some time.

Don't forget, the regular meeting will be held July 1st.

Fraternally, Mrs. Betty Jurica, Sec'y.

1 • • SPJST SOFTBALL CLUB Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: On Monday night, June 18, our SPJST Softball Team won their first game in the Annual Dallas Managers Open Softball Tournament. We defeated Bradley's

Wednesday, June 27, 1956 Service Station by a score of 5 to 0 in a well played game. We scored five runs in the first inning which featured. two home runs hit by Joe Jarolik and Albin (Bino) Vrana. Jim Scoggins pitched a great game allowing only two hits, one base on balls and struck out seven batters. Wilbur Munger, our catcher, caught a very good game.

Leading hitters for the game were Joe Jarolik with two hits and Albin Vrana, Ben Jarma and Wilbur Munger with one hit apiece. Afield the team as a unit was outstanding as many good catches were Made by several of the players.

By virtue of this win we play again on Wednesday night and our opponent will be Narco Plumbing.

We had about the largest rooting section to date, of all our games this season. After the game, all the players, their wives, children and friends (the whole rooting section) met at the Scyene Drivein and "pivo," soft drinks, etc were enjoyed by everyone. Naturally everyone was jubilant over our victory.

On Wednesday night, June 20, we were eliminated from. the Tournament in the quarter finals as we lost a close ball game to Narco Plumbing by a score of 3 to 1. It was a real close game all the way and was a hard game to lose, but we were simply outplayed, as four errors paved the way for Narco's win.

Jim Scoggins hurled his usual good game allowing 5 hits, one base on balls and struck out 9 batters. Had Jim received better support, we might have won the game Our catcher for the game was Wilbur Munger. We got only 3. hits and these were gathered by RaYmond Vrana, Jim Scoggins and Wilbur Munger. Though we lost, it was no disgrace to lase as our opponent simply outplayed us.

Next Tuesday night, June 26, we will play our first game in the second half of play in the American League, the city majors league. As I mentioned in my previous article, we will be playing in the city major league, the strongest league in Dallas, in which league we were placed, but not by choice. Please don't he disappointed if we win only a few games as the competition will be very strong and I know our team will be giving their best. We play Naval Air Station on Lawnview diamond No. 1, on Scyene Road, and game time will be 8:30 p.m. Then the following Tuesday, July 3, we play Browne Window also at 8:30 p.m. at Lawnview diamond No. 1.

Our thanks to all our members, our wives and friends for rooting for us during the tournament. We are sorry to have let you all down, but we did

Wednesday„Tune 27, 1956

ontetnts and Production of Program The selection of a master of ceremonies and a radio station to produce the program should be based on ability, prev:ous experience, and adequacy of the polka music library if a live. orchestra should not be used. Knowledge of this music and the ability to produce a .balanced piogram are very important.

The ability of the announcer to use both the Czech and English languages and the extent to which he should use each are also very important points to co .r=ider. Some older persons naturally would prefer the entire program commentary to be in Czech, but this would surely prove unpopular with persons who do not understand Czech, and it ■,.ould be unwise to take any action which would cause these people to turn vel ✓ :front the SPJST at a, time when r•rii are being made to interest them it ii s activities. Likewise, commercial ■ 'icemen ts in Czech would not o re:Iell a large percentage of the listener:. The other extreme of an "all Engli h" program would also be objectionable. This would be directly contrary to the: wishes of the older persons, and there are many young people or others who understand some Czech an/or at least appreciate hearing a little of it .spoken. It is significant to note that on : most radio programs which are announced by persons who can speak both Czech and English, the use of the Czech language is usually limited to the introduction of song titles, artists' names, and other minor commentary.

thirty minutes weekly.

3. Day of week and time of day for broadcast of program — a suggestion every Sunday at 2:00 p.m. The time of broadcast would affect the cost of the "air time" since most stations have Class A and Class B time rates, depending upon the time of day.

4. Conflicts and passible disrupting effects of athletic and other special events which may be carried by some stations during certain seasons of year.

SAMPLE PROGRAM

formation on the order of magnitude of the costs which may be involved and to give the delegates some basis for formulating any directives to those who would administer such an activity as is being proposed, it is appropriate to explain that the cost of "air time" on Texas radio stations ranges from $10 to $200 for each thirty minutes, depending upon the size and location of the station. To this would then be added all other production and distribution costs which would be relatively fixed but would depend upon the detailed makeup of the program and would vary only slightly with the number of stations utilized. Although no efforts have been made to determine precisely the actual coverage area of each station and the total nunibff of stations required to eompletely cover the SPJST area, it has been estimated that from 10 to 15 stations would be required. On this basis, the average total cost of the project for each station would then probably ue approximately $50 per program. Thia would be the total cost of producing, distributing, and airing a "top-notch" program and would include the services of a "live" orchestra. It should be borne in mind that the above figure is merely an estimate and would lend itself to adjustment for any or all of the above stated factors as they become definitely known.

A tape recording of a sample 30-minute polka program of the type described in this proposal has been prepared by Radio Station KTEM in Temple, Texas, in cooperation with Supreme Lodge President Marek nail the writer. An abbreviated tape : recording (approximately 15 minutes duration) of this same program, with portions of the :musical selections deleted but with all the announcements included, is also available for playing when time not available for playing the full length program. These tape recordings are available upon request to the SPJST for auditioning purposes. The music contained on the program is such as would be used regularly on the program unless audience response or other reasons indicated that a change in music was advisable. The commentary and commercials on the program are fictional and are not to be interpreted as official statements of or Although the above estimates of cost for the SPJST or its officers. may appear to be sizeable expenditures, their average would be equal to apCOST CONSIDERATIONS PREPARATION OF COMMERCIAL proximately 6 per cent of the totale1955 No cost quotations are being supplied ADVERTISEMENTS income from mortuary premiums or apLifective corn ereial advertisemenets, with this proposal because the many proximately 3.5 per cent of the 1955 ether they be in Czech or English, possible factors involved in such an uim gross income.

THE WORLD'S GLAMOR TRAINS In our air age, the ground. on a modern streamlined train is still as exciting as ever.

Late every afternoon, as throngs of suburbanites are streaming toward the commuters' trains at one end of New York's Grand Central State, a less frantic scene is being enacted at the other end of that huge station. A long, thick red carpet is being unrolled. It's the "welcome to luxury" symbol of one of the world's most famous trains: The Twentieth Century Limited.

The Twentieth Century Limited streamliner takes sixteen hours for its 960-mile trip to Chicago. By air, the trip can be made in three hours. But, day after day, the Century pulls out loaded with passengers, often requiring two or three sections, and sometimes as many as six or seven, to accommodate all of those who want to ride.

On the other side of the continent, every evening at seven, the Super Chief rolls away from Union Station in Los Angeles to begin its 2,225-mile journey to Chicago. It will arrive 391/2 hours later. Airliners, soaring over mountains instead of winding through and around them, require only 6 1/4 hours. But the Super Chief never lacks for patronage.

It's the same all over the world; there's still an irresistible appeal to millions of people in riding on a train, and pantie early one of the famous luxury trains.

In' the United States, the list of "name" trains is formidable. Almost everybody knows the Broadway enited, arch rival of the Century between New •York and Chicago, but not everybody knows that, back in 1905, when the train was running quite late, the engineer opened the throttle, racing downgrade into Lima, Ohio, and set a speed record that still stands: 127.1 nith's per hour. This couldn't happen today: For years, all major railroads have forbidden speeds beyond the limits of safety. . Congressional, between Washington and New York, has undoubtedly tarried more statesmen than any other American train since its inauguration in 1885. It is the busiest stretch of track in the world.

Other trains of distinction continue to held. their allure for passengers: the CapitO1 Limited from Washington to Chicago, the California Zephyr, the City Of San Francisco, the Empire Builder, the'Olympian, the Panama Limited from Chicago to Miami, the Florida streamliners, such as the Champions and the Silver Meteor . .. these and many others.

• THE COST OF PRESIDENT EISENHOWER'S ILLNESS

People often wonder who foots the bills when the President of the United States gets ill and goes to a hospital.

People also presume that the president gets far better medical care than would an ordinary citizen, and that such an attention must run into a sizeable amount.

PraSident Eisenhower's bill for unsurpassed medical care is at the rate of $2:60 a day. He has a five-room suite, to : which he is entitled as president.

But, being an Army man, he is billed at Army rates: The U. S. Army furnishes nine of Mrs. Eisenhower's 13 doctors, all of the attendants and hospital facilities, and picks up the tab for the actual out-ofpocket costs involved in the president's hO spitalization. Mr. Eisenhower ,in this case, gets the medical privileges accorded an Army officer, in his capacity as Commander in Chief of the armed forces.

Like active-duty Army officers, -the

president is charged only $1.05 a day.

This is for meals. He also pays $1.55 a da y for In wife's meals.

Actual costs to the Army include $50 a day, plus transportation, for each of the four civilian doctors serving as consultans, and the costs of medicines, anesthetics and ambulances.

The president's suite at Walter Reed includes a well-furnished living room, a 16-by-22 fout bedroom, a sizable sunroom, a 20-foot dining room, and kitchen and bath. The suite was constructed in 1946, used once by President Truman for three days in 1952, and once by a visiting dignitary, Iranian Premier Mohammed IVfossadegh, in 1951.

These quarters, furnished free to the president, resemble a hotel suite that might normally rent for $350 to $450 a week. In addition, a bedroom and adjoining sitting room are also supplied without cost for Mrs. Eisenhower; The same kind of medical attention is available, at either Walter Reed or the Bethesda Naval Hospital, to other high officials of the government and to members of congress. Cabinet members, senators, representatives, heads of federal agencies all are eligible. For them, the total fee is $17.50 a day.

There is no further bill for surgery, for medical consultants ,flown in from out of town, for nurses, anesthetics, medication, meals or any other normal "extras." Senator Lyndon Johnson, the Democratic Majority Leader in the Senate, for instance, paid the flat fee when he was hospitalized in Bethesda with his heart attack last ♦ year.

WHAT TEXAS HAD TO OFFER TO THE CZECHS IN 1850 In 1850, Texas was not the state it is today. The total population was 212.592, with 154,034 whites. There were many uncivilized areas in the state, and these were available to the immigrants and their families. Some of the leading towns at that time were: Galveston with a population of 4,177, San Antonio with 3,488, and Houston with 2,396. Land in the populated counties sold for about one dollar an acre and schools were unheard of. Markets were distant, often hundreds of miles. This new land, Texas ,was no beautiful sight to the Czechs and their families, but Texas meant freedom and a chance for new opportunities.

In 1850, Texas was a new state with plenty of land and opportunities and with a total population of only 212,592.

The Czech people heard of this new state which had just been annexed to the United States. Since they were 11\7'7 ing under the Austro-Hungarian yoke

Wednesday, June 27. 1956 and had the opportunity to immigrate into this country, many chose Texas.

Dr. Anthony Dignowity was the first Czech to settle in Texas arriving in 1832. Josef Lesikar received the credit for bringing about immigration of the Czech people to Texas. Bohumil Menzl was the first Czech priest to help build churches in Texas. The first homes of the Czechs were called "loksaky" (a log cabin with a dirt floor and a grass roof).

The location of the Czech communities is north from Brownsville to Denton in the rich black land belt. Fort Worth, Dallas and Houston have a great number of, Czechs. Towns which have over 35 per cent of their population being of Czech extraction are Taylor, Ennis, Granger and Shiner. The Czechs are among the most intelligent people, and wherever they settle they embed their culture and educational abilities into that community. ) ♦ 4.

THE CBECHS' REASONS FOR COMING TO TEXAS "The first Czechs came to Texas to enjoy religious and political freedom and to gain fo rthemselves the right. to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Germany had gained control of the government of Austria and was forcing upon the Czechs a foreign tongue. The German language was made the language of the schools and courts. As a result of such tyranny the Czechs were forced to submit, or accept the alternative of leaving the country. Many pre ferred the latter, some moving toI Holland, and England, and others coming to the United States. Texas, having been recently annexed to the United States, offered many opportunities.

Many Czechs landing at Galveston, came directly to Texas.

Josef Lesikar claims the credit' for having broUght, about immigration of his people to Texas. He read of Texas in a Czechoslovak _ newspaper telling about its many' wonders. He was a well educated leader- and prcived to be of great help to his people. He arrived in 1953, on the "Sava," with his family.

4, • ( EARLY CZECH SETTLERS The fir st azech immigrant group landed in Galveston in 1852, coming via New Orleans. This group came with money to buy productive land and the determination to stay in Texas. They usually brought their families. None came alone, planning to send for their kin later, as was the custom of other immigrants. During. the following eight years the tide of immigration increased.

Route 2, Rogers, Tel • OVERDOSE WITH WONDER DRUGS Recently a. salesman, eager to knock out a cold on the eve of an important conference, persuaded his doctor to prescribe some penisillin pills. Ten days later he was critically ill.

First his feet started to itch and swell.

Then the swelling spread to his entire body until he looked like a grotesque puffy sausage.

With a fever soaring to 104 degrees, he itched so intolerably that he was screaming with pain. For two weeks he was in bed—and the penicillin did not cure his cold.

Have you ever begged your doctor for a shot of penicillin for your feverish childr or husband? Or dosed your own scratchy throat with a box of penicillin lozenges wangled from the corner druggist?

Chances are you have done at least one of these things. Many people have — until they learned that they were fooling with danger with a capital D. Properly used, the five main antibiotics — penicillin, streptomycin, aureomycin, terramycin and chloromycetin — are truly wonder drugs. They cure a host of ills, many of them formerly fatal.

"These drugs are lifesaving," Says Dr. Henry Welch, director of the Antibiotics Division of the Pure Food and Drug Administration, "if they are used correctly. Improperly used, however, they can be dangerous."
