Sjezd byl zastavkou, abychom prozkoumali vykonanou praci a te2 abychom si naznaeili, co vgechno chceme vykonati net dojdeme k dalgimu stupni nebo k pri gti zastavce. Mame svou spolkovou praci rozdelenu od sjezdu do sjezdu. Statni zakon chce, abychom jednou za etyli roky, ne-li eaaeji, vykonali tento prehled a ureili si praci na dal:Si etyri roky. AZ po etylech letech sejdou se delegati v San Antonio, museji vase delat kontrolu, ar ta se vykonalo, co jsme chtell, a nauseji zase nastiniti pracovni program do budoucnosti.

Na dotazy elenfi, co vkchno se savedlo a ptijalo v sedmnactem sjezdu, .ka2dY delegat mel sve vysvetleni. NekterY se rozhovotil ze giroka, jinemu stably dye, tai pozn.amky. A jiste byly ptipady, kde delegat se chlubil, jak se nekomu "svezl po kobylce." To ten path u nekoho do pojmu bratrstvi.

AZ nekdy pozdeji bude nestrannY historik psati o tom, co kterY sjezd vykonal, bride ten place sedmnacteho sjezdu zdUraznena a yyzvcdnuta. Na predni misto prijde povoleni darn sto tisic na postaveni domova pro stare lidi. Nebylo to odhlasovano takovou vetSinou, jakou jsem oeekaval, ale bylo to piece schvaleno.

JenZe vlada se nestard o ty stare lidi; jsou odkazani sami na sebe., nebo kteri nasledkem novYch Zivotnich, rodinnVch a spoleeenskSrch pomerit nemohou nebo nechteji Ziti s detmi a na ilkor vnoueat.

Tento lidumilnST a nanejvY ge potrebnST krok byl sjezdem schvalenY. Prostredky na postaveni Domova odpoeinku se povolily. SedmielennY vS7bor, sjezdem k tomu zvolcnY, bude pracovati na uskutedneni Domova v dobe jednoho roku.

Wednesday, August 1,, '1950 Reports from Lodges, biographies, etc., intended for publication, must be in the hands of the Editor a week before the date of issue. Address all editorial matters to: Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston 7 Tex.

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

THE NEXT FOUR YEARS The seventeenth SPJST convention had adopted far reaching and significant changes. The result of these changes will not be noticeable for some time .But the direction had been set, and the changes will become more apparent as time gees on.

'What are some of the changes?

Some of you may think that the approVal to build the SPJST Home is the biggest undertaking which the 17th Onvention sanctioned. As much as Ahe Rest Home is a noble gesture, it will not be censidered by a futUre historian AO be the outstanding accomplishment of the convention. It will bring benefits and service to some of our members.

Without some of the benefits and ServiCes we would not differ fromany old lies insurance company. So the Pest Home is one example that we are identified with the fraternal system of operation.

As much as I am pleased with the steps taken toward establishing the SPJST Resl Horne, there are, in my l.ur.i ale estimation, other decisions which will add far greater puSh toward making t lae SPJST grow bigger and better. These ahanges will be apparent in many 'says in. the work of our solicitors. in the activi-lies of local loges, in the districts, and in the youth programs.

And all of these had been approved by the delegates.

Time was when the recruiting of new members was undertaken solely through the membership, with the help of a few local workers. "Let us get some new Jaem hers," was the reminder in lodge meetings. It worked Far some time. It still works to a limited degree. But it does n:' get the job done as it did in the. days twenty-five, thirty-five years is go.

There has been too much change in the way of living since the days of horse cad buggy. We now travel ten times as far in one-tenth of the time our grandfather used to travel. Grandsons no longer need to go to the meeting to meet friends and to learn what goes on meet strain in turnin the world. Theie is

ing the knob and see the best of entertainr:tent on TV. But the TV programs bring one good thing to our younge r members: they show the various type; of entertainment by talented children elsewhere. They make our own children conscious of their gifts and talents. They giye us, the older •embers, a challenge to develOp home talent. And that is where the delegates of the 17th convention made a wise decision, They put in the by-laws that each district • should have once a year a district mee1ny• with youth program, and the Supreme Lodge will pay to each district not less tlaan $150.00 to encourage these youth programs.

Another help will come to the local lodges from the headquarters. We have often heard that the younger members wouldn't be interested in hold the post of local secretary or financial secretary, because that type of work must be done absolutely free. The delegates put in the by-laws an article that the SUpreme Lodge will in the future assist to pay for the work done by some of the local officers. It will not be much, but it will help. It will be two per cent of all the mortuary dues which the local lodge remits to the headquarters. This will be paid once a year. If a local lodge remits one thousand dollars, the local lodge will receive back twenty dollars.

If the total amount of the mortuary dues is five thousand a year, the Supreme Lodge will pay back one hundred dollars. Not much, but it will help.

Besides the financial aid to assist in developing youth programs, and with the financial aid to compensate the local offcers, we will get other help: Local solicitors will get more assistance.

We will all agree that to sell the SPJST service our solicitors must know what they sell, what the SPJST has to offer.

Twenty-five years or thirty-five years ago it wasn't necessary to know much about life insurance. We had only one kind of certificate, Class "A" for five hundred or one thousand, and that was all. We did not know anything about the cash value of our certificate, and

we knew that should we quit paying we would be out of insurance altogether.

Now we have nonforfeiture clauses in every certificate, cash, loan value, extended insurance, settlement options.

Our simple certificates changed into a complex contract, all in our favor, and our solicitors will get help so that they in turn could explain the new favorable features to all the members. We will have district organizers to assist those who jack the knowledge needed and don't know how to explain those complex contracts.

Then there will be group initiations which have been lately so much needed.

You may think that you can get the same type of insurance from any old line company without initiation. You are wrong, Brother, very much wrong.

The old line company does give you insurance, but that is all you get, and for quite a few pennies more. Every initiation stresses the responsibility of all of us toward one another. Every initiation teaches how men and women band together in a common cause to dispel suffering, loneliness, sorrow in times of distress and bereavement. The tender and affectionate words or deeds on the part of local lodge members bring consolation and encouragement which help those in grief to bear theri burden more lightly. Life again looks brighter when our friends and local lodge members express an interest and willingness to help carry the load.

These are the changes which had been adopted by the delegates of the 17th convention: financial aid to the districts to develop the talent of the youth; financial assistance to the local lodges to pay better for the work of local officers; training plans for our solicitors so that they in turn would give better service to the members; group initiation to remind all of us that we are Brothers.

The road for brighter future of the SPJST has been planned out. The road for the next four years is in the right direction. Let us resolve here and now that we will riot go to -sleep at the wheel.

WAS KAREL HAVLICEK Our younger SPJST members run quite often across .a Czech name which is supposed to make them acquainted with some Czech outstanding persen ality or a national hero, but which is more puzzling than enlightening.

Take, for example, the name of Karel Havlicek, sometimes given as Karel Ha y -licekBorvsy.Whwae?do we have one of the SPJST lodges named after him, Lodge No. 4 in Hallettsville?

To put all of it in one sentence, Havlicek was an excellent Czech journalist and writer who courageously tried to secure for the Czech people their rights.

Such a short sentence tells our young readers practically nothing. in the current ;ssue of the official publication of the American So7Kol Union, James L. Cihak, had a very informative biography of Havlicek. Although some of our younger SPJST members who belong to the Sokol may have read the article, there are hundreds of others who should know something more about this Czech outstanding journalist who died one hundred years ago, July 29, 1856. Here is the replint of the article from SOKOL AMERICKY:

the higher clergy, he resigned, realizing that their adherence to the political, military, religious, trimuvirate of the Hapsburgs, would never bring justice to his people. At Safarik's suggestion he went to Moscow, Russia, to teach, filled with hopes for a united Slav cooperation to stop the Pan-Germanic trend.

Eighteen months of penetrating observation and travel convinced him that his country's salvation would never come from this quarter. The despotism and backwardness of the czaristic regime offered no reliable aid.

The time was not wasted however.

He brought home to his future newspaper work, a world outlook that far surpassed the provincial thinking of those who were the leaders at that time.

He became the editor of the "Prazske Noviny" (Praha Newspaper), at , the age of 27. It was medlocre in every sense, until his drive and energy created it into a first class newspaper. Here he developed his great journalistic abilities, fighting for the freedom of the Czech language and states rights. Fearlessly he propagated his beliefs and his genius was so great that even the most KAREL HAVLICEK-BOROVSKY involved political questions; were writOctober 31, 1821 — July 28, 1856 ten so that the common men could unTo only a few men is the opportunity derstand them.

Disillusioned by the worldliness and He was forbidden to live in Praha and cynicism of his clergical teachers and rather than give the Austrian govern-

meat the pleasure of closing the "Slovan," he stopped publishing it.

In November, 1851, he was called into court for various articles he wrote, but was released by the jury. To silence this outspoken patriot the Austrians then secretly arrested him to send him into exile, to Brixen in Tyrolean Alps. He carried his exile manfully — humorously depicting his journey in his "Tyrolske Elegie" (Tyrolean Elegy's). At Brixen he wrote a brilliant poetical satire on the Austrian political-religious-military absolutism, entitled "Krest sv. ra" (The Conversion of St. Vladimir) and "Kral Lavra" (King Lavra). He was held here four years. When he found out his wife was seriously ill, he requested the right to visit her. Permission finally came in 1855.

When he came home he found out she had already died, a victim of Austrian stupidity. Crushed: by this blow he was even more shocked by the cowudice of some Czech patriots, who av')ided him completely. These tragedies aggravated the tuberculosis he had acquired in his exile, so that he died on July 28, 1856.

At 35 years a true hero, without fear or blemish, a true patriot and one of the finest sons born to the Czech nation, "Give the people education and culture, and you will see what they can accomplish, how much seltconsciousness they will acquire, how much strength will course thru thori veins, how much energy will penetrate their —Karel Havlicek. hearts."

GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY We, in the fraternal insurance business, occasionally run across all kinds of insurance policies. If you live closer to the Mexican border, you often hear about good neighbor policy, now called "binceros."

Bracer() is a Spanish terra literally meaning strong-arm man It means in everyday languaga a day lab orer Braceros are needed along the border.

In the last six weeks more than 60,000 Mexican cotton pickers have been at work in the lush Lower Rio Grande Valley. The Texas cotton farmers might never get all of .heir cotton picked without the help rfom neighoors from :south of the Rio Grande--and thousands of the labwiers •depend on their cotton picking wages to supplement their incomes in Mexioc.

Post offices in the Texas Valley are swamped on week ends as the Mexican workers purchase money orders to .send to their families or to take back home with them to cash on arrival. Also, when contracts are completed, the cotton pickers return to Mexico wearing new clothes and carrying large bundles of clothing and the articles they buy in variety stores to their families.

Farmers admit the day of the "wetback," illegal entrant to the United States from Mexico, is over. Less than two decades ago, the Mexican worker was often paid not over $1.25 a day and seldom over 25 cents an hour. He lived in shacks along the canal banks.

Month of the year when 65,362 were processed at Hidalgo. Most of these were employed in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Some of the 141,757 processed last year went to states all over the country. but most of them went to seven southern state and by far the majority went to cotton fields in Texas and. Arkansas, with the actual count for Texas being 111,640. These braceros in 1955 were employed by 5560 individuals and cotton associations. Officials expect about the same number to enter this year as last.

Pushed by labor unions, who charged that the low wages paid Mexicans who swam the Rio prande and were dubbed wetbacks depressed wages of domestic workers and even prevented their getting work, the United States and Mexican governments reached an agreement by winch Mexican workers are paid the prevailing pay for cotton picking per 100 pounds, or the standard minimum hourly' wage.

To enforce the new regulations, a big temporary home for wetbacks was built at McAllen for the border patrol to keep the men until they were deported to Mexico by ship, plane, bus and train.

Texas farmers, unaccustomed to paying the higher wages, fumed, but most of them coriaplied. Fewer than a dozen were charged with violating the intrenational agreement. Now the Mexican workers get standard wages, hospitalization, decent places to live, insurance, transportation, and a guaranteed safe I Proof of the effectiveness of the wet- return to Mexico. back deportation program is seen in the They never had it m good.

and they are not afraid to go to town to buy what they want, knowing they will not be arrested by border patrolmen. Border patrolmen also are happier because, though they were merely performing their duty, they often were saddened by the plight of illiterate workers who knew no better than to do what their crew bosses told them, to, and were worried also by the liability of crop losses on the farm from which they had to expel illegal aliens.

Under the present agreement between the United States and Mexico, workers are recruited in the interior of the republic and processed at various centers.

Workers sent to the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, and into other regions of the South and Middle West, go thru a recruiting station at Montrerey, N. L., Mexico. They are transported by bus and train through Reynosa to Hidalgo, a village seven miles south of McAllen, Texas.

There they are given a health exami,. nation, fingerprinted, issued passports, are given copies of their contracts with their employers, loaded on trucks', and are ant on their way to line their pockets with those good United States ' ,pesos."

SYMBOLS ON THE DOLLAR BILL There is a lesson of democracy on every dollar bill. It is expressed in the symbols depicted there. Unfortunately, few of our SPJST members, or we may say, few of our citizens, know the meaning or origin of these symbols, although they see them every day in the year.

Let us take a look at the back of one —the green side, the greenback. The two circles represent both sides of the great seal of the United States.

Do you know what the circular symbol on the left of the back of a dollar bill means? Ask a few friends if they understand the significance of the pyramid shown there, and the eye above it.

We have about a billion and a half one-dollar bills now in circulation. It would appear reasonable that the people handling the one-dollar bills every day, mud explain these symbols.

The other day, your editor learned that a junior branch of certain Greek fraternal organization had a regular program based on the symbols on the one-dollar bill. It was an entertaining idea enjoyed by everybody who witnessed the program.

You may also be delighted to have a detailed explanation dealing with the heritage and tradition of the American people, and how those symbols originated.

The founders of our country thought it important to express the basic truths of our Nation in the great seal that the matter was brought before COngress on the very afternoon of the signing of the Declaration of Independonce, July 4, 1776.

Three great leaders, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adonis, were appointed as a committee of three to prepare the seal. Six years later, on June 20, 1782, Congress passed a resolution approving the final design of ,the great seal.

There is a book, The History of the Seal of the United States, by Gaillard Mint published by the State Department in 1909, which gives all the significant details. Here are only some of them: 1. Pyramid: First of all, note the pyramid in the left hand circle. It represent‹ the material strength of our countr. In the words of William Barton, Who played such an important part in designing it, it stands for "strength arid duration."

2. Eye: Directly above the pyramid is the "Eye of God" which, though separate, completes the pyramid. It emphasizes the importance of putting the spirthat welfare of our country above its

material prosperity. Our Founding Fathers firmly believed that our progress must always be under the watchful eye of Providence.

3. Under God: The words "Annuit Coeptis" circling the top of the Seal are once again a significant proof of the faith of the Founding Fathers, These words mean: "He has favored our un dertakings."

4. New Order: Now look at the three Latin words directly under the pyramid, "Novus Ordo Seclorum" which means "A new order of ages." They signify that this new republic, which had just been founded,, introduced a new age in the life and freedom of the people of the world, that it ushered in a new era in which the people themselves would be able to exercise their rights of self-government.

5. Started in 1776: The Roman numerals—MDCCLXXVI-a-at i the base of the pyramid add up to 17 /76, the beginning of the United States as an independent Nation.

Now take a look at the right-hand circle .on the back of the dollar bill.

1. Eagle: It first became our national emblem in 1782 when it was chosen for the Great Seal as a symbol of strength and victory.

2. States' rights: The shield on the eagle's breast signifies self-reliance. It contains 13 stripes as a reminder that each individual state, with its basic rights and responsibilities, was expected to help protect the freedom of all the states.

3. The role of Congress: The bar across the top of the shield stands for Congress—as the unifying and binding force between the states. The colors of the bar and stripes are red, white and blue in the Seal itself. Red signifies hardiness and valor; white, purity and innocence; and blue, vigilance, perseverance and justice.

4. Peace comes first: In the right talon or claw of the eagle, you will note an olive branch and if you examine it closely, you will see that it has 13 olive leaves . . . In the eagle's left talon is a bundle of 13 arrows. Symbolizing the power of peace and war, the olive branch and the arrows are a reminder to the 13 states of their obligation first to work for peace and against war.

5. Ring of light: Finally, above the eagle's head is a ring of light in gold, surrounding 13 stars of silver on a blue field. The stars denoted "al new State taking its place and rank among other sovereign powers.

So you can see how important the

Great Seal of the United States really is. In its design our Founding Fathers drew a lesson that was meant to be handed down for generations to come.

It may interest you to know that the Great Seal is used on official documents, medals, currency, official stationery and publications, and in several other ways under the supervision of the Secretary of State, who is custodian of the Seal.

If you take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with these facts about the Great Seal, you'll be in a position to do 2 little missionary work in passing them or, to others. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Take a dollar bill and explain the meaningful details to members of your own family, your friends and fellow workers.

2. Tell teachers to explain these symbols in every classroom.

3. Remind your local newspapers, radio and television stations that they can perform a public service by bringing these facts to the attention of the public as part of the great American heritage that each and all have a right to know.

In these days when there is widespread criticism of how little is known about the high ideals on which our Nation is founded, it is up to all of us to use every opportunity to keep all Americans ever conscious of the fact that our whole concept of liberty is rooted in divine truth.

If you won't who will?

By doing nothing, you may be aiding those who slowly but surely are striving to despiritualize every phase of public and private life. Their chief strength is the failure of the average good citizen to make his Voice heard.

Here is an opportunity for you to spread far and wide a few simple facts.

Doing something positive and constructive like this, is far more effective than merely complaining about what's wrong with your country — and your world.

When shoes get wet, you can stuff them with tissue paper and dry them slowly, for heat tends to crack leather.

If you add a cupful of flour mixed with a cupful of hot water to a pail of whitewash, the whieawash will never rub off.

DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT IN THE SOKOL The Sokol organization is not only a "popular" institutcn, but entirely democratic. As stated previously, its. appeal is to men of all classes, faiths, political or other affiliation — bringing all loyal citizens into the great and real brotherhood. What is THE appeal which brings the diverse elements together into a common fold? Surely it must be something worthwhile, devotion to some great cause. "The elevation of the strength of mind and body of all the Cechoslovak people . . . the liberation of the nation " Brotherhood was the longing and the mof all great reformers. The SOIA".0:1, is the onl Slav organization of modern times which succeeded in uniting men and women of diverse classes and interests for a common purpose.

Without the avowal to serve the entire nation without distinction, sans the ideal of Brotherhood, the SOKOL would -devolve into "just another society."

There were sometimes reproofs made that because of our democratic spirit, the calling of each other by the familiar "thou," the better-educated might be brought to a "lower level" in contact with their fellow-Sokoys, might even be "insulted" by rubbing elbows "too familiarly" with, hurnble . workers.

Quite the contrary: the spirit of Brotherhood was elevating! Younger men were grateful for the opportunity to meet older and more experienced men in a less forinal spirit than could Oth.erwisc have been possible.

In the Sokol each member is appraised according to his actual worth.

Opportunities are ample to make use of one's special abilities in the gymnastic, ,dramatic, speaking, teaching, writing, and other fields. He who should be ' tempted to achieve a position of honor or trust in the SOKOL merely because of riches, of title, or political influence, would soon see the futility of his moneuvers. , Likewise, asquired knowledge (schooling) in itself is not sufficient to gain recognition. What value is there in latent, idle, unused knowledge — hidden within ourselves?

If the knowledge and' ability be not used in active work, for good deeds, they have no value for society, and may perhaps even prove to be liabilities. The astronomer Ilainmarion wrote: "There are people we know very much, but are unbearable because of their knowledge"; and Ruskin commented on "the knowledge .. . which . occasionally puffs up."

At one time, efforts were exerted to

bring distrust toward everyone who did not belong to. the "working class" or did not indulge in physical labour. The sincerity of democratic sentiments of such persons was doubted: the opinion encouraged that the true democratic spirit was possible only with workingmen. The SOKOL desires the cooperation of all classes. So-called "intelligents" alone could not create the Sokol, for they are not very numerous.

The masses, sincere though they may be, need capable, enlightened leaders.

Today we all recognize the value of thorough training or education.

rozlehal krik pisarovy 'Zany, fineeni hluk pix4stavovaneho nabAku a shon; za nejakou minutku se objevil i fojt. Stanul na prahu eervenY jako rak, sotva, dechu popadaje, ale uZ s tetezem na krku; rozhledl se po shromaldeni a zvolal ptisne: "Ticho tam bud'te, zde neni kremal" "Pette, pojd'te sem, neco varn povim!" zvolal na neho Kiomb.

"To se podivejrne! Zde neni Za ddn3.7 Petr, zde je jenom fitednik!" zamrueel fojt povYSene.

Sedlaci zaeali tento jeho vYrok rozebirat a small se, aZ se jim bticho ttaslo; nahle fojt slavnostne zvolal: "Rozestupte , se, Tide! Pan hejtman!"

Na ceste se ukazal povoz a poskakuje po vYmolech zatoeil pied kancelat..

Hejtman zvedl ruku k eela, sedlaci sundali klobouky, nastalo mleeni; fojt s pitem Wen hejtmanovi pomahat z vozu, eetnici se postavili u dveti, vzptimeni jako sloupy.

Hejtman se nechal vysadit z vozu a svleci z bileho plaSte: nato se obratil, rozhliZeje se po shromaZdeni, pohladil si alutou bradku, udelal ptisnST oblioej, kYvl hlavou a veSel' do domu, kam ho zval pisat sehnutg jako oblouk.

Povoz odjel a sedlaci se znova nahrnuli okolo stole; proto2e se domniva11, ae jednani, ihned zaene; ale minula notna chvile, minulo jich nekolik a hejtman se neukazoval; z pisarova bytu se rozlehalo cinkani skla, smith a jakasi vihie draldive aimrala v nozdrach.

A proto2e lidi uz omrzelo eekani a slunce praklo stale vie, nekteri zaeali potajmu odbihat ke kreme, a2 fojt kl: "Nerozchazejte se! Kdo to nebude, toho zapigeme a dostane pokutu. .."

Zdr2eli se site jeate, ale klnuli stale jadrneji a netrpelive hledeli do okna pisarova bytu, ktere nekdo z ynitiku 01.W:el a pies ne2 zatahl zaclonu.

"Stydi se chlasat peed lidmi!"

"Vklyt' je tak dobre, darmo se sliny sbihaji v hube. . . a naprazdno polykat taky za nic nestoji!"

Z vezeni, jea stab() vedle kancelare, se ozvalo 2alostne, dlouhe zabeeeni; za chvili odtamtud vykl posel, tahnouci na postrafiku radne tele, ktere se ze vaech sib vzpiralo; z nieeho nic bacilo hlavou do posla, a2 se chlapik svalil na zem, zvedlo ocas a dal() se do beim, jen se za nim praklo.

"Chyt'te ho! Chyt'te ho! Zlodej!"

"Nasyp mu na ocas sub, ono se ti vrati!"

"To je smelost! Uteee z arestu a jeate-Si na pana fojta zvedne ocas!"

"Fojte, mel bys to dat vykourit kadidiem, aby nebylo citit, co tarn bylo za arestanta!"

"Nebojte se, pa koralce hejtman ztrati eich!"

Tu ta tam prohodil nekdo bodave slovo. . . fojt jen blYskal oeima, a zatinal zuby ;nakonec vaechny omrzelo i to dobirani, proto2e byli zmoreni eekanim na slunci a hladem; rozeki se pod stromy a nedbali u2 ani fojtova zakazovani; Cuela mu rekl: "Kdepak, lid neni pes, ten se ti neptiplazi k noham, i kdybys krieel troba do veeera!" Gtela byl rad, ze zmizel s oe.1 eetnikilm, a poeal se znova propletat mezi lidmi, ptipominaje kaMeinti zvlaSt', jak rna hlasovat.

Ale lide nemeli jeate ani tolik easu, aby se ulo2ili do stinu a pojedli nejakou maliekost, a kdy2 rychtari ui zaeali volat a fojt s krikem pribehl: "Pan hejtman jde! Poidte honem, zaeinamel" "Naeichal se dobreho jidlo, tak ho Bert here! My nemarne naspech, at' pan hejtman poeka!"

"Mleet!" vykrikl nahle jeden z eetnistojicich v pozoru u prahu.

Oci vAech se obratily na dvere, z kterS7ch fAak vySel jenom pisar s papirem v race a postavil se za stub.

Fojt zatrepal zvonkam a rekl slavnostne: "Zaeiname, lidieky! Ticho bud'te, WIWI Pan sekretat pteete jako o to Skole! A poslouchejte pozorne, aby kaktSr vedel, oC jde!"

Pisan si nasadil okulary a zvolna zretelne zaeal Gist: Chvilku Ceti, kdy2 uprostred itpineho ticha kdosi zvolal: "Nerozumime!"

Nastalo ticho, sedlaci poslouchali napjate, vazili kaZde slovo a hledeli na pisake jako uhranuti.

Pisan pomalu slabikoval. ". . . jako Ze je ptikazano postavit Simlu v Lipcich, ktera by byla, i pro Modlici, Pkiluky, ftepky a druhe menii vsi."

Pisat domluvil, ale nikdo se neozSryal, kahly rozvaZoval cosi v sob& jakoby se slaYbal pod btemenem nove davky; az koneene se ozval fojt: "SlySell jste, co pan sekretat pteddital?"

"SlySell, slySeli! Nejsme piece hlug!" ozvalo se tu a tam.

"A kdo ma neco proti tomu, at' vystoupy a povi to!"

Poeali se strkat, jeden druheho tlaeil dopkedu, ik,rabali se za uchem, ohliZeli se jeclen na druheho i na starAi, ale nikdo nemel odvahu vystoupit prvni.

"KdyZ je tomu tak, schvalime rychle davku a andeme domil!" navrhoval fojt.

Na ten klak vyiel hejtman a stanul na prahu: jakmile se objevil, sedlaci, utichli; hejtman si prohrabl vousy a kekl velice laskave: "Jak se mate, hospodati?"
