Krasna slunna nedele 12. srpna 1956 stala se dnem miinotadneho vYznamu v historii rodiny KopeckYch v Texasu. Toho dne jit od easnYch hodin rannich sjitdela se do San Antonio auta ze vSech koutti Texasu, ptivatejici eleny teto velmi poeetne, zname a v geobecne vatene rodiny ke spoleene °slave sedmdesatYch narozenin bratra M. U. Dra. Josefa Kopeckeho. Pro vet g dUraz domluvili se vgichni mezi sebou a nic netuSisiho oslavence ptekvapili, aby jeho radost byla jeke Dostalo se mi to cti, te na listine pozvanYch byla tet moje maliekost. Rad jsem pozvani ptijal a s bratrem S. C. Bundilem, kterY byl tet mezi S"esti ptitomnYmi pozvanYmi hasty, zucastnil jsem se oslavy. Ptibuzenstva sjelo se opravdu hodne. Pokud jsem v rychlosti mohl zjistiti, bylo tam celkem 58 osob, z toho 5 rodnYch bratru a 5 rodnYch sester se svYmi rodinarni, a to: Dr. and Mrs. Josef Kopeck ze San Antonio, Mr. J. M. KcipeckY z Houstonu, Mr. C. W. Kopeck z Roweny, Mr. Jerome Kopecky El Campo, Mr. and Mrs. L. G. KopeckSi z Corpus Christi, Mr. and Mrs. V. L. Gallia z Hallettsville, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hejl z El Campo, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Hejl z Austinu, Miss Ludmila KOpecky z Austinu a Mrs. Vlasta Rushing z Bellaire.

Jmena deb uvadeti nebudu, pro zajimavost chci jen dodati, ze bylo tam 18 elenti druhe generace a 19 elerra tteti generace. Skupina jiste poeetna, a to jeSte nebyli Pestovani hudby a. zpevu eesk3"rch pisni bylo jit tradieni v rodine KopeckSrch a proto neni divii, ze v gichni sourozenci k radosti pritomnYch nekolikahlasne zazpivali nekolik z tech nejznamej gich• naSlch starYch, stale krasnYch eeskYch pisni. Byl to peknY, dojemnY a vzacn'Y okainZik, kterY nevymizi dlouho z pameti.

spolkove einnosti, ale i odjinud, zyleAte z vetejneho tivota. Scdmdesat let jeho 'tivota mluvi o nmohYch viterstvich, zasluhach, obeanskYch ctnostech, o lasce pro vSe dobre a krasne fto uptimnem vlastenectvi. Po rodielch je dobrYm hudebnikem a vaSnivYm milavnikem deskeho zpevu. Pokud mu jen eas a zodpovedne povolani dovolily, rad se vtdy venoval spoleene praci, ponevadt si byl vedom, to tim prokazuje slulbu n.ejen svemu narodu, ale cele lidske spoleenosti. Jako lekat je na slovo vtatY odbornik, ziskal si velikYeh zasluh a jeho jmeno ma velmi dobrY zvuk. Je vyhledavan pacienty zblizka i daleka.

Lituji, ze pro jine nalehave povinnosti musel jsem brzo odejit a nemohl pokraeovat se vSemi v ptijemne, nejyYs mile, srdeene, optimne a bratrske zabave.

Byli vSichni svobodni, Jan, Josef, Cyril, Jerome, Lad'a, Malka, Alba, Vlasta, Ludma, Libbie. Spoleene jsme zpivali ty melodicke 'duke pisne.

Marcella M. Kleperlikova:

VSEM KaZdST kdo ete Vestnik, at' uZ je nem SPJST , nebo ne, neeini tak jiste jenom pro zabavu nebo pro ukraceni chvile. Je to jiste elovek, kterY se o vge zajima, a pozorne sleduje co je v Jednote noveho, co dobreho bylo pro eleny vykonano, co se planuje atd. Proto jiste s velilkYrn zajmem v gichni Oetli pojednani o torn, co se na XVII. sjezdu SPJST v g echno vykonalo. S nedoekavosti bylo nejvice oeekavano, zda projde navrh na postaveni Utulny. Jak ze zpravy patrno, nebylo to tak snadne prosadit, avgak nakonec, dik v g em, kteri se o to zasadili, po pheeteni a doporueeni zpravy vyboru pro fitulnu bylo nejen odhlasovano "ano", ale byl prijat i navrh, aby Jednota na tento fieel venovala $100,000.00. Take slu gna ea,stka byla yenovana na fitulnu i jednotlivYmi delegaty a eleny SPJST. Je samortejme, to kaZdY tuto skuteepost vzal s pote genim a uspokojenim na vedomi a bude se zajmem sledovati dalvYvoj cele veci. Vern elentm a delegatUm, kteii pro uskuteeneni tohoto glechetneho planu pracovali od zaeatku at dodnes, patri na g srdeenSr dik.

Jejich namaha, obetavost, vytrvalost a laska, se kterou se veci ujali, zasluhuji uznani •vgech bez rozdilu. Zaklad k tomu byl dan zalotenim t. zv. Mouekova fondu, cot se zasloutila, nemYlim-li se, sestra Iintena Valeikova z Dallas, ktera, pro uskuteeneni ritulny opravdu tije.

Proto take ji vdeeime za to, Ze budeme miti svoji Utulnu. VYboru pro Utulnu pteji mnoho zdaru a doufam, Ze phi to velike a zasluZne praci nebudou se stavet v cestu zvla g tni talosti.

Jako elenka SPJST. a take jako o gettovatelka rada bych vYbor pro Utulnu o neco poladala. Domnivam se totit, Ze bod 5. ye zprave vYboru neni zcela jasnY a mohl by mezi elenstvem ti dost nedorozumeni. Mam na mysli posledni vetu, ktera zni: "Ptipady, kde tadatel bude upoutan na ltiZko nebo pottebuje bYti umisten spite v nemocnici net v domove, nebudou prijaty." Snad bylo by dobre vec blite vysvetliti, jellkot v fivahu mohou ptijit ptipady razu prechodneho i trvaleho a pak ptieina, ktera milZe bYti rtizneho pfivodu, hraje tet velikou roli. Vim, Ze toto je pouze pripravna zprava vYboru, zavazne podminky pro prijeti Ze budou vypracovany pozdeji. Moji snahou je na \Tee upozorniti jiZ nyni, aby se ptede glo pozdejgirn nejasnostem.

Na 'kaZdom sjezdu jsou projednavany, duletite veci, a to nejen pro dobro a

6TENAI(M VESTNIKU

vzrust cele Jednoty, ale i ve prospech jednotlivYch tadri i sarnotnYch Jednota musi pokraeovati s duchem Cacu a riditi se stanovami a pokyny danYmi na sjezdu. Docilene vYsledky pak kaalY Men se zajmem sleduje a dle sveho posuzuje. K tomu ma pravo i povinnost.

Kdo na sjezdu byl, vse sly gel a vial, ma daleko lep gi ptehled o v gem, net ti, kteti, at' u2 z jakehokoliv diwodu, na sjezd jeti nemohli. Za celY tYden trvani sjezdu bylo toho jiste dost. Jednalo se na sjezdu, ale jednalo se ten i ve volnem Case rnimo sjezd. Projednavany byly zvlagtni ptipady, ale zejmena veci razu osobniho, provadela se t. zv. osobni politika. Je ptirozene, Ze jednotlive osobni posudky se neshoduji; jsou-li vgak zaloteny na faktech a mineny poctive a v zajmu veci, nelze proti nim nic namitati. Jestlite ale je postupovano fiskoeno, fale gne, ne bratrsky, jenom proto, aby se jednotlivec znemotnil, pak ovgem nelze mluviti o slugnem jednani prave tak jako ne o neeem co by prospelo nasi Jednoty.

Velmi nerada, av galk po nekoneench projevech a dotazech mnoha Clem na stale nalehani eetnYch ptatel chci dues vgem delegathm, delegatkam i nav gtevnikUm XVII. sjezdu SPJST. napsatj pro vysvetleni nekolik slov pokud se tYka meho manZela.

Ze strachu, he by min mantel mohl bYti na sjezdu zvolen do Uradu, nekteki vlivni bratti pied sjezdem a na sjezdu vyutili kaZde prilditosti a zpilsobem, kterY nelze oznaeiti za "fair", agitovali proti nemu. Ponevad2 nevedeli a nemeli nic podstatneho, ve snaze, aby manZela ponilili, rortrugovali o nem, Ze je "Evropeak", "Uteeenec", "he nema obeariskY list", "he neumi anglicky", "he je zde kratkY eas a Ze by chtel hnat celou Ameriku", "Ze kdyby byl zvolen do nektereho Uradu, Ze by chtel' poroueet cele SPJST." a podobne. Argumenty jiste velmi ubohe a. kaZdY slu gnY elovek udela, si o veci vlastni fisudek.

Na adresu techto ndkolika panfi chei hici toto: Min mantel je American eeskoslovenskeho pfivodu, prave tak jako mnozi stargi Clenove, kteri prijeli z Evropy, tedy jako vagi otcove a dedove.

Min mantel Intel do SpojenYch Statft v roce 1948 na cestovni pas a k odcestovani obdrtel ptednostni pravo s ohledem na mne, ponevadZ jsem rozena Amerieanka (dokonce jsem se narodila v Texasu). Vzhledem k toniu, k ja, jsem americka, obeanka, dostal nitn mantel a-

Pokud jde o Pozykove znalosti men() manZela, nebudu se bliZe rozepisovati, zminim se pouze o angliatine. Tu stn.doval na ruznYch gkolach a ma vysVedeeni ze 2 universit, elm2 se asi e ni j eden z tech panii pochlubiti nenttiZe.

Ve stfedu 22. srpna 1958'

DOPISY A NAHLEDY CLENU rroe nedostavame iadne firoky z nagieh pen& ve spoleenosti Burrus Mill Dallas, Texas.

Ctene sestry a bratti:— . Okkaval jsem, ze nekterY z nagich hlavnich fitednikii vam poda vysvetleni, z lake ptieiny spoleenost Burrus Mill and Elevator /lam neplati 2a,clne firoky od 31. prosince 1955, a nebude moci platit do dvou, tii, etyt a.Z" peti let. Je to opravdu truchliva situace, 2e takova, silna spoleenost se dostala do takovYch neptijemnosti. Znam onu spoleenost skoro 30 rokii, znam mnoho jejich fitednikil a delnikil, od kterYch jsem kupoval za tisice mesione mouku. Od roku 1946, kdy2 jsem se dozvedel, ze na ge Jednota koupila velikST podil v to spoleenosti, kupoval jsem jejich mouku vYluene.

MoZna, k si nekdo pamatuje, kdyZ" jsem psal do Vestniku pied etytmi roky hoed po sjezde v Houstonu — g koda, ze jsem si ten Vestnik neschoval, piirovnaval jsem ty mengi inlYny k tem mengim pekarnam v tech men gich mestech, jalk ja jsem mival. Ty velke pekarny v tech velkkch mestech s temi jejich troky nas male pekate v gechny zbankrotily, take jsme museli hledat •Zivobyti v jinYch obchodech. Ja jsem si nagel jeden, kde jsem vyrabel piipravenou mouku na koblihy a kolade. V tomto novem podniku jsem vypotieboval vice mouky od Burrus Mill neZ kdy'Z jsem mel pekarnu.

V onom dopise jsem psal, ze ty ohromne mlYny jak je tteba Pillsbury nebo International Milling, bud' ty male m1Yny polknou a daji malYm mlYnfina co sami chteji za jejich obchod, anebo je &knoll k tornu, ze male inlYny gamy zavfou. Spoleenost Burrus Mill byla na torn lepgi nez ty menai mVny, nebo ma jeden mlYn v Galveston& a jeden v republice na Kube. To je bide primal., odkud mlYny mohou dopravovat mouku do Jdni Ameriky skoro talk lacino jako ti velikani. Kde spoleenost Burrus Mill udelala chybu. ze nebyli spokojeni s tim, co meli. Pustili se do velikeho skladigte pro ulokni obili na gi vlady. Kandy buS1 obili, na kterY si farmat od vlady na obili vypfijei, musi bYti dobfe uschovanY, aby tataZ kvalita, mu byla dana zpatky, kdyZ on vyplati svou piljeku. Tote2 se dela i s bavinou.

Pro vybudovani techto velkYch skladig t' zaloZila Burrus Mill druhou spoleenost pod jrnertem Tex-O-Kan, ye ktere jsme meli nage penize uldene. Tato skladigte se jmenuji "Tent Farm Storage".

To je, utlaeena wine teZkYrni valci, kain

se nasype jeden milion bu glii obili, ptikryje se plachtami, nadelaji se piikopy okolo techto stanil na odvod de gt'oye vody, hued vedle se udela druhY stan, kam se nasype druhSr milion bu gle obili, a tak se to opakuje. TakovYch "tent storage" nebo Istanii linela spoleenopt ctrnact v St. Joseph, Missouri, pit Missouri iece. Asi proto je tarn meli, k se tarn v okoli rodi hodne obili.

Techto 14 milioni obili pattilo vlade.

KdYZ si vypoeitate neco pies $2.00 za bugl tak mate peknou eastku penez. Za toto obili byla spoleenost Burrus Mill zodpovedna vlade. Pti gly neneekivane boute, lijaky a povodne. Mezi obrubami techto plachet napr gelo hodne vody, ktera, prosakla do obili. Delnici museli sundat plachty a nechat zrno su git na slunci.

Pit torn su geni 'angel tak hroznY lijak, spadlo asi 11 pai' de gte, k nez delnici mobil dati plachty nazpet, obili se hodne pogkedilo. Nevi se je gte ureite, kolik glkody se nadelalo. To se zjisti az bude vgechno obili 'nodule. Odhaduje se, spoleenost bude miti kolem 5-8 milionu gkody.

Nez Burrus Mill Bala stavet tyto "Tent Farm Storage," dala to svStai ingenSrrem k rozhoclnuti. Ord to uznali za spolehlive.

(Kdyby se radeji poradili nagich rozumnYch farmatt, tak by lep gi na tom dopadla.l Burrus Mill dostala nejakou malou eastku od gkodneho od pojiSt'ujicich spoleenosti, ale ze to byla. vina Burrus Mill, k se tak stalo, Burrus trpi nejvetgi gkodu. Na ge vlada, ktera, vlastnila vg echno to obili, co se zkazilo, data ptilditost Burrus Mill zapla,tit gkodu na rani splatky z jejiho eisteho vYclelku.

Ale Burrus Mill musela dati vlade a bankterYin dluM penize za Akodu, kolem 7 a pill milionu v zastavu (mortgage) cely majetek. Toto je to ptidina, se zastavily v gechny firoky a dividendy podilnikem, take i nam.

Jedna, dobra vec pti tom je, ze Burrus nemusi nyni platit dan z pkijmu (income tax,) lktere by bylo skoro na pill milionu roene, ale mute ten obnos dati na tu roeni splatku. Druha dobra vec je, ze hned po zaplaceni vlade musi se spolecnost vyrovnat se v gemi zpateenimi roky, ktere nam dluzi, neb my jsme na prvnim miste, mame akcie, ktere jsou prioritni (preferred stock). To se samo sebou rozumi, k k tomu dojde jen tenkrate, jestli spoleenost bude miti tako\TY vydelek jako v minulosti (neco ptes jeden milion) a udrIi se nad vodou.

Co je vgem divne — i zdejgim ad p •ekupnikihn (brokers) v Dallas, doby, kdy jsme meli sjezd a tato cela

zalditost zaeala bYt provetravana ve Vestniku, tyto akcie vystoupily v cell& ze $47.00 na $55.00. Na dva tisice akcii, ktere jenom my dthme, to dela, $16,000.00. Zde varn to mute dokazat, kdylk. si kekneme pravdu do odi a nebudeme nic mezi sebou tajit. ze to nam neudela dnou gkodu, jak to pie na g nastavajici redaktor.

Co mame udelat s temito akciemi, zda je prodat nebo je drZet, na to jsme si zvolili iiiedniky. Jsem jistST, ze oni budou konat to nejlep gi co budou moci.

Po dlouhem a dfikladnem vygetteni teto veci doporueuji, aby se tyto akcie za piitomnou cenu neprodary.

S bratrskYm pozdravem Vag, Hugo Shefcak.

Jednak vysvetleni, jednak omluva Deming, New Mexico Sestry a bratti:— Kdy2 jsem ptehlael Vestnik ze dne 8. srpna, pfi gel jsem na dopis bratra Raymunda Machu, jeho2 obsah po pfeeteni mne ohromil a take pi-ipravil o celonoeni spanek v premkgleni, jakeho pteeinu jsem se dopustil, kdyl jsem se 0povaZil zastupovati na g tad Hvezda. Mladde eislo 102 na poslednim sjezdu.

Mam to pfesveddeni, ze. bratr Raymond Machu psal, ze mne ustanovili za, delegata do sjezdu. Ja jsem mu odepsal, ze to nepPijimam, ze bych tim pfestoupil stanovy, ze by mne sjezd motel po slati dornii, kdyZ podle stanov nejsme opravneni rad svui zastupovat, kclyZ nokoname pravidelne schilze, a kdy'Z jsena nebyl gestkrat do rdka ye schilzi.

Pozdeji mi 'bratr Rammoird Machu sdelii, ze jestli ja nepojedu co zastupce do sjezdu, tak pojede jeho synovec Eugene Machtt. Vice nebylo mezi nami o torn jednano. Teprve v mesici eervnu, kdyz jsem byl u sve dcery v Gainsville, byl mi zaslan jeho dopis, adresovanSt do Victoria. Texas, s ptestupnimi listinami a krat gim pkipisem, v nemZ mi oznamoval, ze bratr Eugene Machu je gte neni rozhodnut, zdali co zastupce na sjezd pojede nebo ne, ale 2e jestli on nepojede, tak na jeho misto pojede jeho strYc, bratr Frank Machu.

Listiny jsem nepodepsal z diivodu, i v temto pripade bych pfestupoval stanovy, kdybych svym podpisem potvrdil, ze na g rad je opravnen k zastoupeni na sjezdu. Av gak dal jsem mu radu; 2e jestli to chce vyzkouget a se o to pokusit, aby mu listiny podepsal rnistoptedseda.

Kdybych si byl v tu chvili vzponmel, byl bych mu nabidl, aby se o to pokusil

Ve stredu 22. srpna 1956 1 bez podpisu, jako to ueinil zeinfelY, mnoholetY predseda Hlavni tiradovny, bratr ChernoskY, kterY na 16. sjezdu v Houstonu se do sjezdu dostavil s listilieu nepodepsanou ani predsedou ani tajeinnikem radu Oslo 88, pro priehati, te destateene nenavStevoval radove schtize. A treba te to bylo delegattim vysvet leno, pc) del gi debate byl hlasovanim delegate prijatY jako zastupce sveho tddu. OvSem pro neho to bylo snadnejgi closannout net obyeejnemu delegatu. Byl pravnikern a byl etvrt stoleti predsedou Hlavni inadovny. AvSak i bratr Machtt se mohi o to pokusit. Kdrt ut byly takove predchazenci pripady, motna by byl prijatY delegaty take on nebo jeho strYc. Kdyt jsem z Gainesville odjitclel k domovu na kart., se syYm zetem, kterY byl delegatem od taninejSiho radii, mel jsem Umysl staviti se v Temple v nedeli a podivati se na prilbeh sjezdu, v jake mistnosti se odbYva a jak pokraeuje.

Itdyt jsme prijeli do West, zilstal jsem it'Svakra Skrehoty a zet' jel dale do Ternple. V pondeli rano prijel jsem kolem derate hodiny po busu.. Zastavil jsem se, ale newel jsem ani toho nejmenSiho fulayslu se uchazet o zastupo yani naSeho radii eislo 102. To priglo at na vybizeni znamYch bratri a sester. Vahal jsem maw-li el nemarn. Byl bych tim vYliOvel ptivodninou psani meho radu, abYch rad Cislo 102 zastupoval. Kdybych byl . ttigil, co na mne po sjezdu eeka, byl bych -Se radeji celemu sjezdu vyhnul.

Clitel jsem take miti sam pro sve uspckojeni jistotu, zdali jsem konal spra yne, kdyt jsem ptivodne tvrdil, 'te nag rad nema die stanov tadneho prava na zastoupeni. Tak jsem se ptal poverujiciho vYboru, jak to vlastne je. Vysvetleni poveruheiho vYboru mne uspokojilo a nebyl jsem prijatY. Minil jsem, te ziistanu pozorovat jedriani je gte v aterY a pak busein pojedu k domovu. Jente rani dotaz neztistal jen u poverujiciho v'boru. Cleni toho vYboru asi byli ve stejnYch pochybnostech a bez meho vedomi prednesli niaj dotaz na vyA gi instanci.

V aterY rano pied zahalenim sjezdu nine bratr Kochi: zastavil, vyptaval se na okolnosti a koneene pravil, ze ani on sam nebude rozhodovat, ale te se cela otazka mute predlotiti sjezdu, at' v gichni delegati podaji rozhodnuti. Poznal jsem, te syYm dotazem pied poverujicim vYborem uvedl jsem do pohybu celou sjezdovou soustavu, te to Slo od nit giho k vyggimu at k tern nejvyggim. Bratr Kacif dal mi nekolik otazek, ktere jsem die sveho svedomi poctiVe zodpoveclel. Sam bych se neodvatil tadati ani poverujici tYbor, ani predsedu sjezdu, ani celY sjezci aby mi dano bylo zastoupeni, o kterem

\TES TN fK— WEST, TEXAS jsem sam predein pochyboval. A take bratr Karel Holasek vedel, jestli mne ma, prayo pripustit do sjezdu a jestli delegati o tong niohou sami rozhodnouti.

Tak se stab, ze o nine hlasovali.

Ve„jmenovanYch elancich bratra Raymonda Macha, totit v elanku 5, 10 a 11, jsem nena gel nikde, te by delegati nemeli pra y() prijati nektereho Mena co zastupce jeho Myslim, kdyt se delegati na sjezdu sejdou, aby stare stanovy opravovali a menili, tak i kdyt jsou stare stanovy v platnosti at do doby, kdy jsou nahrazeny novYmi elanky, piece delegati jsou rozhodeimi, zda nektere Ustupky se mohou ucinit. Ilistupek se stal v pripadu braVa Chernoskeho. A kdyby prijel do sjezdu delegat od radu, kterY ma jen sedm, lest, pet nebo i mane Menu, jiste by o nem delegati sjezdu rozhodovali, jakc se stab se mnou.

Nag rad eislo 102, po amrti bratra Ignace Pavlieka, ma jen 9 Clem. Sest elena je z rodiny Macha, pak jsem ja a dve sestry, ktere se asi mato zajimaji- o to jestli je nas rad ye sjezdu zastoupen neb ne. Proto tadam bratry a sestru Mach-CI, aby nine miij preein prominudi. Lituji, te jsem z udanYch priein jim pokazil to radost zastupovati rad ve sjezdu. Avgak jste je gte pomerne mladi, mtitete se toho doekati, te budete delegatem do sjezdu. Ja jit ne.

Co se tYka toho platu, kterY jseth drtel ye sjezdu, kdyt mne dosti Mena odsoudi, abych Jednote jej vratil, ochotne tak ueinim a pinY obnos vratim. Tedy budu eekat na rozsudek.

A nyni tadam. bratra Raymonda Machu, aby mi vystavil prestupni listinu k radii Praha eislo 29. Rad jsem chodival do schilzi a i nyni bych do nich gel, kdyt bych mel priletitost. Ale rad, ku kteremu at dosud patrim, ut schlize nikdy miti nebude. Chci patrit k radii blite larbitova. kde chci bYt pochovan vedle sve mantelky, at ta moje telesna schranka, ktera, je jenom hlinou ureenou k zaniku, mush ten bYti ulotena do Nina zeme, a to me prove ja" opusti svaj nedokonalY nastroj.

Jenik se jidla sotva dotkl, cesta ho unavila, a Sel si co nejdriv lehnout. Ale rano, sotva slunce vysvitlo, byl u na nohou.

"A co vain je?"

"Nic mi nevi, smrt ye nine roste a eeka na Zen. Klombovi me vzali k sobe, abych u nich mohla umrit, a tak odrikavain modlitby a eekam trpelive na tu hodinu kdy to s kosou zat'uka a rekne; pojd' duge utrapena."

"Kdepak, dokud nevi eas, darmo bych jim tarn zabirala mist°. . . i tak musili dat telatko ze pine prye.

Tak bovorila statenka jako usinajici ptaiek a Jenik se sklanel nad ni, poslauchal a hleclel jako do jakesi nezbadatelne hloubi, v niz cosi tajemneho bubla, hovoii a tipyti se a kde se cleje cosi takoveho, co lidskY rozum nedovede pochopit. Bylo mu podivne stra gne, ale presto se nedovedl odtrhnouti od tito lidske skoiapky, od toho zetleleho stebla, jeZ se chvelo jako paprsek hasnouci v sournraku a snilo o dnech noveho Zivota.

"Andele svaty! Ty jsi mtij hodnY knez!"

Dlouho potom stal Jenik kdesi u domu vyhrival se na slunci a radoval se pc)• hledem na ten jasnY den a na jen2 vrel kolem neho.

Co na torn, ze tuhle jeclna lidska duge stena v drapech smrti!

Slunce neustavalo svitit, obili gumelg bild oblaka plynula vysoko, deti si hra,ly na cestach, dozravajici jablka se e'ervenala v sadech, v kovarne bu gila kladiva, aZ se to po cele vsi rozlehalo, kdosi chystal vuz, kdosi klepal lkosu a pH pravoval se na seeeni, ierstve .upeienY chleb vonel, Zony hovorily, Cathy schly na plotech a v g ude na polich i ye stavenich panoval ruch, jak toinu bylo kaZdela° dne a vZdycky; lidskY roj se hemstarosti a shaneni a nikoho ill ani nenapadlo, piernYalct o torn, kdo padne prvni.

Co by taky z toho kde mei!

A tak i Jenik rychle se sebe setrasi smutek a vy gel na naves.

Posedel chvili Matou ge, kterS7 docle7laval Stachovu chalupu; postal nad rybnikem s Plog kovcat, je2 bilila pradlo; navgtivil nemocnou Josku; vyslechl naiky fojtove; prihliZel v lkovarne, jak kovar kali kosy a naklepava ostri srpti; poclival se do zahrad, kde pracovalo nejvic cleveat a Zen.

Teprve docela nakonee za gel k Dominikove; stara sedela pied domem a predla vinu; Jenik se tomu divil, protole mela oil zavazane.

"Prsty to nahrnatam a tak vim, jaka e j nit, jestli tenth nebo tlusta." vysvetlovala Dorninikova, projevujici vellkou radost z jeho nav gtevyl; nato zavolala Jagnu, ktera delala neco na dvore.

Ve sttedu 22. srpna 1956 kdy Jenik odchazel, doprovodila ho na cestu a hledela za nim, dokud ji nezmizel s oei.

Stala tarn skoro bez dechu a bez vedomi, zakryta plaStem vetyi, sklanejicich se pod tihou jablek; stala s ptivtenYmi yieky, s fism‘& vem skrytYin. v koutcich rtu, pin g blaknosti a zaroveri i strachu, pina jakYchsi sladkYch slz a rozkoSneho ch yeni jako tehdy, kdy na neho za one jarni noci hledela do okna.

Ale taky Jenika jako by neco za ni to,hlo, protole mimovolne sice, ale piece se u Dorninikove tu a tam na chvilku zastavil a odchazival pale divne rozradostnen; kaZdeho dne ji vidal v kostele, kleeela vZdycky celou inSi a modlila se vroucne a jako u vytrZeni. a Jenik se na ni se sladkYin vzruknim dival; jednou Se o jeji zboZnosti zminil doma.

Matka jenom pokreila rameny.

"Ma se zae modlit a odprokvat Boha".

Jenik mel dui distou jako nejbelefk kvet a vYtce nOporozumel; protole k nim Jagna chodila a vkchni ji meli radi a protok videl, jak' je poboZna, ani na mysl mu neptiSlo, ze by byla, hodna pokarani; divil se teprve ted', ze od jeho ptijeZdu nebyla u nich ani jednou.

"Prave jsem pro ni poslala, protok main mnoho Zehleni," odpovedela matka na jeho otazku.

Jagna ptiSla za chvili tak nastrojena, Ze se Jenik as podivil.

"Co to znamena, jdete na veselku?"

"Shad k vain neikdo poslal s koilalkou?" yypiskla jedna z deveat.

"To by se mohl nekdo opovaZit, JO, bych ho hnala!" zasmala se Jagna a zdervenala jako raze, protole v'Sichoi se na nI podivali.

Stara • ji hned poslala aehlit, dicerky varhanikove i s Jenikem ptiki za ni; zanedlouho jim bylo tak veselo, kfieeli a smali se tak hlasite, ze je varhanikove musila oktiknout: "Ticho brebtalky! Jeniku, jdi radeji do zahrady, nesluSi se, abys tady okounel."

A Jenik volley nevolky vzal iknilau a odeSel jako obyeejne na pole; tam kdesi daleko za vsi na mezich pod hruSkanal na pohranienich kopcich usedl, zahlouban do eteni anebo jen tak premitaje.

"Jakpak ne, od rana al do polectne sedi pied zrcadlern!"

"A potad si kupuje stuhy a parady," hovorily holly zavistive. Od nejakehe easu, jakmile se Jagna ukazala na vsi. ji pronasledovaly pohledy 'Zen, ostre jako drapy a jedovate jako zmije.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE FOR HOME We, the seven-member committee for Home for the Aged, elected by the delegates of our respective districts, submit

Wednesday, August

9511

to the delegates of the 17th convention the following recommendation for their prudent consideration.

First, in order that the entire plan would have legal foundation, we recommend the adoption of the following paragraph: The convention shall, whenever it deems it to be to the best interest of the Order, authorize to create and organize a non-profit corporation for the purpose of holding title to and erecting, operating and furnishing a home for the aged according to a plan approved by the convention. The ownership of such, when approved. by the convention, shall be self-governing and independent, without any further claims on the part of the Order or of the members; and the management of the home shall be in the hands of seven directors of this independent corporation. No member of the Order shall have any contractual right on the ground of his membership to be admitted to such home.

Any application for admission shall be taken into consideration, but it shall in no case be made the basis of any legal liability on the part of the Order. This paragraph shall become effective immediately.

After the acceptance of this article, we recommend the following plan for your deliberation: 1. The home will be called "S. P, J. S. T. Rest Home."

2. Complete execution of the plan shall be in the hands of the present comittee for the S P. J. S.. T. Rest Home, one member from each district; and this committee, with the assistance of the legal advisor of the SPJST, will draw up a charter and Work out all further details.

3. The Home shall be located in the central part of the State, mut not farther north than the City of Waco.

4. The Home shall start with accomodations for 40 persons, with the rooms so arranged that would be 14 rooms for married couples or two persons to a room, and 14 single rooms, kitchen, dinning room, office, solarium, laundry, separate living quarters for employees, and sanitation equipment.

5. The Home shall be for persons of 65 years or older. Every application for admission in this S. P. J. S. T. Rest Home shall be weighed according to urgent need of the applicant. Cases where the applicant is bedridden and should be placed in ,a nursery home or a hospital rather than in the Home, will not be accepted.

6. Construction of the Home for 40 persons is estimated to cost $100,000.00, and the furnishing of the home

throughout, $15,000.00 The upkeep of the Home is estimated at $65.00 a month per person.

7. We recommend that the initial expense with the building of the Home be financed either completely or the greatest part of it by the Order and in the amount the delegates agree on; and the remainder by cash donations from local Lodges, societies, and individuals. We recommend the convention allows not more than $100,000.00.

8. We recommend that for furnishing individual rooms an appeal be made to lodges, societies, and individuals; and also that they needs of mental recreation and pastime would be provided for by proper gifts.

9. We recommend that all the necessary steps for an independent organization be carried out at the expense of the Order and with the assistance of legal . advisor of the S. P. J. S. T. For the Committee on the S. P.. J. S T. Rest Home.

S rana 25

REPORTS FROM LOCAL LODGES SLOVANSKA LIPA NO. 66 Waco, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: Our meeting came to order Sunday afternoon at 3:15 p.m. Aug. 12 with President Roman Parma presiding. Allegiance to the Flag was given by all members, which was led by Jean Spence.

Due to vacation and hot weather the crowd wasn't as large as usual.

Minutes of the previous meeting and the special meeting were read and approved.

A letter was read from Supreme Lodge President Ed Marek saying that there are 159 active lodges in Texas and that our Lodge ranks fifth in new members since Jan. 1. We had 21 new members and up to now we have 135. Pretty good, eh?

Our director of youth, Sister Barbara Parnia, turned over the money she collected from the Birthday Club fund to the 3-member committee, which consisted of Brother Alvin Reznicek, Brother and Sister Chris Spence, to purchase playground equipment for the children.

Brothers Reznicek and Spence set the equipment in concrete so it will be safer.

Thanks to all of you. Sister Parma will start saving again for something else.

Sister Barbara wasn't present Sunday so her mother, Sister Libbie Parma, read-1W' the names of the members having birthdays this month. They are: Sisters Janie Mazanec, Marie Cervenka, Anna Soukup, Filipina Bartos, Mary Fortune, Zephyr Fay Spence, Stacy Kazda and Rose Ann Narovec, and Brothers W. A. Zebro, Alton. Harms, Chris Otto Spence, Frank Miller, Walter Poehls, and Monroe Janke. We sang the Happy Birthday song to them.

We haven't anyone on the sick list except Brother Mike Mazanee has been in ill health for a long time and is getting weaker, which we are very sorry to hear. But, there is no remedy for old age and Brother Mike is in his upper 80s, Sister Matilda Harms is to have an operation on Thursday and we all wish, for her a success of the operation and a quick recovery.

Brother Otto Harms showed us the booklet form of program which will be printed for our jubilee which is certainly creeping up on us fast. Just one more mcnth; and our plans are in full swing now, We hope to see a lot of you at our celebration and we cordially invite each and every one to be with us.

(The postal laws and regulations do not pernait to advertise any schemes in which a luck or a chance play part, even if it is to raise money for roll-

pious, education or charitable purposes.

—Editor.)

Our next meeting is on Sept. 9 which is the day when the people of Tours selected to celebrate the opening of their new church hall. We unanimously decided to have our meeting at 2:30 sharp and after our meeting is over to go to Tours and help them celebrate.

No one needs to bring food to our hall that day. We can eat our supper in Tours.

Brother Otto Hanus made a suggestion that as many of us as can to go to Seaton for 'their golden jubilee on Sept. 2.

Our meeting lasted until 5:5 p.m. after which a social hour followed and a delicious supper was enjoyed by all.

Sister Emma Ceska asked me to pinch hit for her this time. She and her family and their relatives are going to Galveston for the week, and she didn't have time to write her letter. Brother and Sister Ceska, do have a grand time and think of u.s back here.

Fraternally yours, Rose Parma, Reporter in Czech.

8trana 2'!

For 1956 High School Graduates and Prospec tive College Students Early September is the time of yeal 'when most colleges and universities throughout the land will begin their school year. Although another semester will start next February, the Fall Semester usually offers the best selection of freshman courses. No dougt, many readers of this column already have made plans to attend some college or university, and much of the information provided here will be a repetition of something they have heard before. For those of you who have not yet decided or made plans to attend college, the information contained herein may be of some help. Although this article applies to all prospective college students, the latter part is written in particular for those persons of Czech descent.

Although graduation was the end of your high school career, it was also as the alternate name implies a commencement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the beginning of another career which probably will prove much longer and more important than the previous one. I am sure that you are aware of this and have either already embarked upon this career or are seriously considering what your future plans and activities should be.

It may appear attractive to take some of the full-time and well paying (by previous part-time standards) jobs which are now available to you. It may be a temptation to earn money and be somewhat "on your own." Possibly, if you are greatly interested in some occupation and are firmly convinced that you will want to make it your life work, it may be best that you enter that occupation now as an apprentice or through an on the job or other special training course.

However, if you are undecided as to exactly what occupation or profession you wish to follow but are interested In obtaining a higher education, then I suggest that you plan to attend a college or university this fall. You need not be an honor student to feel ,qualified to attend college. Although it is best to know what general field of study you will want to pursue, the first two years of many college courses are very similar; and you can definitely decide what you will specialize in after you have had an opportunity to learn more about the various fields of endeavor. The aptitude tests and counseling you receive in college will help you in making your final decision. In addition to giving you time to decide, going to college will be a continuation of Sour education which is very important for the future. Because so many

persons have obtained college degrees in recent years, the bachelor's degree from a college is, now about equal in significance to that which a high school diploma had ten or twenty years ago.

To compete .with the "next person" in most professions even now and especially in the future, it will be practically essential that you have a college degree.

If you wish to attend college but believe that the financial situation of your family will not permit it, please investigate this matter more fully. In addition to the part-time work, scholarships, and loan fund which are available to all college students, there are several special scholarships and loan funds available to you if you are of Czech descent. Although scholarships are the best when obtainable, loans are next best because repayment usually does not have to start until after graduation and yuo are earning.

If you are a mare graduate and are concerned about the unstable world situation and the probability of your being drafted for military service, do not let that interfere with your long range plans for the future. Almost every generation has been faced with a similar problem, and it usually has not materialized as the, tremendous obstacle which it may have seemed to be. Merely waiting for possible induction will accomplish little and attending college may help you a great deal in several ways. Because of the need for college graduates, the Selective Service boards are very liberal in granting deferments to draft age college students. Also, at most colleges you may join one of the many ROTC programs which will permit you to complete your college train ing and earn an officer's commission before you are called to active duty.

Even if you should be inducted while in college, having something started and accomplished and something to look forward to return to will make the two years of service seem shorter and more enjoyable. The training you receive in college before induction will of course better qualify you for the more desirable positions in the military service.

To help you â&#x20AC;˘choose a college or university and course of study, write to the Registrar of the various schools in which you may be interested. Write for free information bulletins for freshmen; study these bulletins; and then consult with your parents and high school teachers. In general the large state supported schools have low tuition fees and offer a wide range of

courses, but some of them may require entrance exams to limit the number of students to a number which, can be properly accommodated by the size of the particular school.

Junior colleges usually have the adrants ge of being located closer to home, yet they generally offer courses and instruction which adequately prepare yOu for and are acceptable to the larger colleges and universities for your junior and senior college years. Because the time of registration is not distant, you should select your college or university soon and hasten to take all necessary actions (as outlined in the information bulletins) required for admission and enrollment in your chosen school. To expedite matters, you may need to visit your school to talk to the registrar and to make housing, part-time work, and other arrangements.

If you are of Czech descent and setlect a school which teaches courses in Czech and/or has a Czech Club (and these are points to consider in choosing a school) I strongly urge you to join the Czech Club and plan to study some Czech either as a major course of study, to fulfill language requirements in other courses of study, or to obtain a better working knowledge of the language for your own benefit. There are several reasons for or benefits from your study of Czech.

1. The beginning course in Czech will be an easy one for you if you are even only slightly familiar with the language, Word pronunciations are the hardest hurdle for anyone just starting to learn Czech; but most persons of Czech descent seem to have a natural or inherited ability to "twist their tongues' as required for the proper pronunciation. Courses in Czech will be counted as credit toward most degrees. Whether or not they count, insist on your right to learn the language of your forefathers. Why not utilize and add to your existing knowledge and/or natural ability in Czech instead of starting on some foreign language with which you are totally unfamiliar and which may prove of no use to you?

2. A better knowledge of the Czech language will be of great help to you in learning any other foreign language which you may decide to study. The more foreign languages you know, the easier it is to learn additional ones.

Knowledge of one or more foreign. languages will better qualify you for many additional job opportunities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no matter what may be your major course Of study, The Czech language is often re-

Strana 28 ferred to as the "key to learning the Russian Language" which is at present very important in various branches of the government and in many commercial and educational activities, There is an ever increasing need in the U. S. diplomatic and military services and in the scientific, industrial, and literary fieldS of activity for persons who can "deal with the Russians in their own language."

3. Taking a course in Czech may better qualify you to receive certain scholarships and/or to obtain student loans.

Although registration for Czech courses may not necessarily be prerequisite for obtaining scholarships and loans, such action will certainly be in your favor, 4, A better knowledge of the Czech language may be of considerable practical value to you after graduation if you engage in any profession or business enterprise which competes for the patronage of the many persons who do and will continue to prefer use of the Czech language. Also, there are Many fraternal, religious, nad mutual organizations in Texas which will continue to require officers who are proficient in both the Czech and English languages.

5 A better knowledge of the Czech language and membership in the Czech Club (you do not have to study Czech to belong to the Czech Club) will better prepare you for more successful living by a more complete acceptance and assimilation into the American society and way of life. Most likely your name —even if you change it—will always be known or recognized by some as being of Czech origin. This will be to your credit because practically everyone is aware of and respects the patriotic and cultural contributions which the Czechs have made to help make this country great. Most people realize that this country is great because we are a composite group which includes the strands of many peoples and many cultures and that one can be (is more likely to be) a true, loyal, and more appreciative American by not forsaking the language and culture of his ancestors. If you can answer 'occasional friendly questions about the language nad culture of your ancestors, others will respect rather than criticize you for it. As you grow older, you yourself will feel an everincreasing psychological and consequently practical need for knowing more about your ancestoral ties and cultural heritage and background. Avail yourself of your present opportunity to gain this knowledge for your own benefit.

I hope you will decide to continue
