Za nekolik dni meho pobytu u jsem mei nabidnute misto u pana Johna Sebesty, kterY prave vykoupil kovarnu od kovilre, pana Karla Merendy v Seaton, Texas.

Bylo mi tenkrat 16 roku a ja sve remeslo strojnictvi, kteremu jsem se Itzamenil za remeslo kovarske a kolarske.

Nemohu tvrditi, ale domnivam se, Ze bylo hodne tech, kteri pro Utulim hlasovali ze soucitu ku starYm lidem vice neZli ze zkugenasti osobnich. Soucit tedy'byl tou mocnou pohnutkou, ktera dostala na tomto sjezdu prilditost ku cti elenstva. skutkem se projeviti. Tento skutek je einem k jakemu se na Zadnem z ininulYch sjezdti delegati imodvaZili a nezmohli.

Bylo to v roce 1920 v Schulenburgu, kdO Zadala jsem spolubraty naie, kteri tehdy byli rozhodujicimi einiteli (p.

Ta'aby se nezapominalo na deti a dorost. Nemeli pro tuto ideu viak sluchu.

I emylim li se, na tomto sjezdu tehdy plitnlouval se spolubratr 'I'oupal za nemocenskou podporu, my glenku velmi choulostivou. Ta, proila, nepromyglena.

Na tomto sjezdu v Schulenburgu, rady zastupovany byly star gimi lidmi, z nichZ innozi jegte byli pametlivi a vedomi podneta, ktere byly prieinou zaloleni bratrskYch jednot.

Ti, od prvopoeatku snad, nakloneni nikdy` nebyli takovernu zatizeni v Jednote.

Asina to nikdy nemysleli.

Od to doby konaly se sjezdy je gte osmkrate byly na Inch pak uz podavany

Kdyby v ttl chvili, kdy se rozhodovalo

A tomu teploudku jsem zvykla. Vyrostla jsem na farme, k tomu vice v poll ne2 ve stint', ad na to jsem uz zapomnela.

I na to prepinenou sjezdovou mistnost musime ted' zapomenout. UZ se stalo, ale bude to vYstraha pro budoucnost, aby se neuclelala podobna chyba. 112 je to closveddujici, ze rostneme a se zvelebujeme.

Sledovala jsem prtibeh sjezdu. bez malYch vYjimek, od podatku aZ do konce.

Na umisteni a usazeni tech navgtevnika se nepoditalo, ad' oni si take pozornosti a uznani, protole prijeli a zajimali se o Jednotu na sve Utraty.

Chteli by to vgechno sledovati, ponevadZ hlavni rizeni i mod,, tYkajici se neelu a sily Jednoty je v ruk.ou sjezdu.

Vstoupili jsme do Jednoty mnozi z nas s syYmi rodinami, a kdyZ jsme se zajmem pristoupili, vzali ,si pojigteni, tak se citime, ze jsme dastkou velike rodiny, ze jsme ndy Jednoty, ze mime pravo sleclovati vedeni a rizeni na gich yedoucich fiZednikil a take jednani ye sjezdu. Za celou dobu od zalcdeni Jednoty udelali jsme velikY pokrok, nesmime vgak zapomenout, ze kdy2 rosteme, je ten pokrok dim dale tim vice znatelnej gi, ze ten pokrok bude se stale zvetgovat a zvelebovat. A kdyby pokrok prigtiho roku nebyl vetgi neZ roku minuleho, znamenalo by to 2e stojime nebo dokonce klesame a nemame ZadnY postup. Aby k tomu nedo glo, to zaleli hlavne na na gich hlavnich nrednicich, aby byli einnYmi a ten pokrok rok od roku udrZovati.

Ve stfedu 29. srpna 1056 PrecIseda, sjezdu, bratr George Kacir z West, vedl sjezciove jednani velice dobre, aZ se nekteri obdivovali, jak si pekne poCinal. Za celou dobu jednani sjezdu nezmenil se tisiM,"â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;v na jeho tvari. Tim projevoval, ze nejen vi, co je to lidskost a bratrstvi, ale take 2e ma porozumeni a trpelivost se v gemi lidskYmi krehkostmi. Podobne mistopredseda Sid Pokladnik z Dallas, kdy2 prebral palieku, dovedi si svorne a bratrsky podinat. Oba tito sjezdovi areclnici jsou jeAte v mladem veku.

Prace tajemnika ve sjezdu je velice dUlelita. Je to velikY Ukol, aby cele jednani bylo spravne a srozumitelne zaneseno v zapiscich a aby to byly navody a snaernice pro mnoho let do budoucnosti. Pri IA° praci se dobre vyznamenal bratr Jaroslav Kleprlik ze San Antonia. Slygela jsem nekolik zastupcn a zastupkyn zminovat se o torn, jak, jeho zapisky byly vkly npine, nepottebovaly nikdy ZadnYch velikYch Oprav a do,plrikn. Pozorovali vMchni jeho praci, jak vg echno mluvene rychle zachycoval, jak se na svou praci soustredil, aby mel ygechny myglenky na svem miste, a jak bylo videti, ze k takovemu zapisu celeho jednani byl osobou nejpovolanejAi. 8koda, 2e nemame vice elenti tak SkolenYch jako je bratr Kleprlik, abychom je mobil zaraditi mezi na ge vedouci.

PLANS FOR DISABILITY INSURANCE Something new in pensions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a system of monthly payments to persons who are seriously disabled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is shaping up for action in Congress. If the plan becomes law, disabled workers will start drawing old-age pension at fifty instead of sixty-five.

This new plan to pension the disabled is supposed to be an answer to this question: How can people be assured of having money for groceries, rent and other needs, if disease or accident makes it impossible to go on working?

One solution, now being considered in Congress, is a big, new form of federal insurance, with government checks to be mailed _each month to disabled people. Payments and the taxes to defray them, if the plan is adopted, will be 'handled through the old-age insurance setup, which now covers almost everyone who earns a steady income.

Changes in the Social Security law to give insurance benefits to some of the disabled have been approved by the House of Representative. Last week the Senate Finance Committee voted down the House plan. A drive is under way to restore it on the Senate floor. Objections have been voiced by the Eisenhower Administration and others who fear the new insurance will cast too much.

Many supporters believe the opposition is weakening year by year, and that it is only a matter of time until a start is made. Congressmen feel the voters are looking more and more to the government for protection against economic troubles that seem beyond the individual's capacity to provide for. Disability is one such trouble that the soCalled welfare state has not yet taken care of.

There is old-age insurance for those forced to retire because of age or disability at 65 or older. There is survivors' insurance for widows and young children whose breadwinners die before reaching a ripe old age. There is unemployment insurance for most of the people who live on wages or salaries.

For most people, however, there is no insurance that will provide income if they find they can't work any longer because of a weak heart, crippled back or other ailment.

The latest government estimate puts the number of people under 65 who are totally disabled for a period of six months or longer at 3,150,000.

About 2,250,000 of these apparently have no public help and must draw on savings or rely on relatives. Officials say

federal insurance for disability, as ap- considered by the government runs proved by the House, would give some along there lines: income to 250,000 of these people.

Broader erage is about $67. This is the same plans of disability insurance, providing amount the disabled worker would get if he retired at 65, except that, until for cases of "temporary" disability and he reached 65, he would get no family maternity cases as well as for longbenefits. The payment is determined by term ailments, have been proposed in the level of income on which the man the past. The estimated cost of that broader protection was, of course, much has been paying Social Security tax. greater than for the limited plan now At 65, a person's disability payments would stop, and his old-age pension under consideration.

However, officials say the cost of diswould begin. To some men, this would ability insurance limited to "permanent" 'mean an increase in monthly benefits cases could run a good deal higher than from the government.

Many advocates of the new type of To cover the cost, the Social Security protection argue even now that a man tax would have to be raised above the who becomes disabled at 30 has just rates now in prospect. Official studies as much need of help as a man disindicate the tax paid by the wage and abled at 50. salary workers, which is now 2 per cent of the first $4,200 per year, would have A serious recession would cause costs to be raised to 2.25 per cent.

The procedure being soared during the 1930s.

According. , to one. official estimate, a 50 per cent increase in cost could occur if the courts and the people in charge of the plan were very liberal in deciding who should be paid.

Many physicians and insurance men say it will be hard to tell whether some claims of disability are real, faked or imaginary. They also argue that government payments will cause some people to make less effort to overcome their handicaps and become self-supporting.

Because of the difficult problems involved, critics of the disability plan now before Congress foresee many borderline cases. They feel that officials will be under great pressure to approve many of these cases, with a resulting boost in cost of the insurance.

On the other hand, people who favor the new type of insurance say the government already has plenty of experience in dealing with disability cases and should be able to hold costs down. They point to the thousands of disabled people who now, are getting some form of help act askawhy others should be denied this new and broader form of insurance.

The government has approved nearly 100,000 people for the disability freeze on rights to old-age pensions. State agencies are sending relief checks to more than 247,000 people who are totally disabled. Thousands of veterans are drawing disability pensions. Some who once held government jobs, or worked for railroads are getting disability payments under their retirement sys tems.

Thus, state and federal agencies are dealing in some manner with many people who are disabled. The concept of helping such persons is not new. A plan for dealing with disability more comprehensively, through federal insurance, is being urged as the next big step in the process of taking core of people when trouble strikes. — U. S.

I) 4, FRATERNALISM Fraternalism is not merely a phrase.

It is not merely an insurance institution or means of teaching morals and ethic.s. It is not a religious institution.

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

Fraternity is another word for brotherhood. Brotherhood implies a sympathetic understanding of another's position and problems, a desire to share another's burdens and render assistance as occasions arise. These qualities possessed by our fraternal benefit societies have poured into the homes of

"Veak nechodi jen tak do neja,kYch akol," dodala s pYchou a dala se ze eiroka do vypravovani o pynovi; mela Jagnu v lasce a rada ji zvala, protole ji Jagna ochotne pomahala a pkitom jeete velmi east° leccos ptinesla, brzy hruaky, brzy jahody, ba nekdy i hroudu eerstveho masla.

Jagna vyslechla kaZde vypraveni varhanikove se stejnou dychtivosti, ale jakmile se Jenik hnul z domu, i ona pospichala, jak tikala, k matte; nesmirne rdda se za nim z dalky divala a nejednou, pkikreena v obili nebo za nejakkm stromem, hledela na neho s takovou nehou, ze se nemohla zdrZet place.

Na polich bylo prazdno, lipecke sttechy i sady vystupovaly z obili jako daleke ostrovy, vitr kymacel klasy, vyhicata matetidoueka, nejakY ptak pieletel nad nimi.

"Dnes je straene horko!" poznamenal Jenik, jen aby nejak zaaal.

"Vdera to taky potadne palilo." Jagna sotva mohla promluyit; jaksi radostnY des ji stiskl hrcllo.

"KaZdY den UZI, musi zaeit Zne." "Jiste, tot' se vi —" ptisvedeovala Jagna, upirajic na neho te2Zkeoei, Jenik se usmal a snazil se 1'1'1111i/it zaela nenucene, skoro 'Zertem: .„ "Jagnielco, vy jste kaZdyhj. dnem icrasnejei".

"Jagnieko, vy se opravdu necheete vclavat?"

"Ani me y e snu nenapadne, copak je zle samotne?"

"A ZadnY chasnik se yam nelibi?" Jenik nabYval stale vetei odvahy.

"ZadnY, opravdu ZacInST !" Jagna pottasla hlavou a hledela na neho oeima sladce snicima. Jenik se naklonil a pohledel hluboko do tech modrYch propa.sti; v Jagnine pohledu zpivala modlitba, nejhlubei, nejsladei, nejcblivernejei -plamennY vYktik srdce, jea vzleta v eas pozdvihovani. Duke se v ni tiepotala jako jiskieni slunce na poll, jako ptak, zpivajici vysoko nad zemi.

Jenik couvl, jaksi divne znepokojen, prottel si oei a vstal.

"Muslin 112 domii!" tekl. 1‹-v1 hlavou na rozloueenou a odeael eirokou mezi ke vsi; chvilemi Ceti v knize, chvilemi bloudil oeima po krajine, ale po nejake chvili se ohledl a zastavil.

Jagnietta ala nekolik krokik za nim.

"Ja mam totiZ taky tudyhle nejbliZ," vysvetlovala veecka v rozpacich.

"Pojd'me tedy spolu," zamrueel, ale nebyll ptilie rad jeji spoleenosti; zabokil oei do knihy a polohlasem eetl, zaUm co kraecli dale.

"0 eem je to kniha?" otazala se Jagna, nesmele, nahliZejie do otevter4ch stran. eheete, ja yam nee() pfeetu."

A ze prave nedaleko od maze stal roz-, lozity strom, usedl ye stinu a zadal Cist.

Ve stkedu 23. srpria 1955 jagnieka se pkikreila naproti nemu, opiela si bradu o pesti a zaposlouchala se celou dug, nespougtejic s neho °di.

"Jak se yam libi?" . prohodil pa chvili a zvedl hlavu.

Jagna se zatervenala a uhYbajic ()alma vyrazila dychtive: "Ja nevim. To neni historic o kralidh, vid'te?"

Jenik se jenom u gklibl a zaeal 'dist znova, ale ted' uz volne, zketelne, slovo za slovem, deti o polich a o obili, o nejakem dvorci, stojicim v bkezovem haji, o panskem synu, kterY se vratil damn, a o vzne gene sledince, ktera sedavala a detmi v zahrade — A v gechno bylo sloZeno do ver gil, zrovna jako v kostelnich pisnich, a znelo to, jako by nekdo mluvil s !kazatelny. Jagne se najednou chtela vydechnout, pokkiZovat se a zaplakat, tak to mluvilo k srdci.

Ale bylo stra gne horko v torn zatigi, kde soden; kolem dokola stala husta steno, Zita propletena chrpami, vikou a vonnYin svlaecern, talde ani jedinY zavan vetru k mm nemohl.

Na gtesti Jenik prestal Gist a pohladl ji do oei.

"Co, je to krasne, vid'te?"

"Tot' se vi, krasnd jako bych paslouchala Jenikovi zasvitily oci a na tvar mu vystoupil rumenec; kdyZ v gak zacal vypravet a Gist joke jednou to mista, zpivajici o pouch a lesich, Jagna ho pieru gila: "I male dite piece vi, a'e v lese rostou stromy, ae v kekach je voda a na polich ze se seje. Prod to vsechno je gte tisknou?"

Jenik sebou trhl "Mile se libi jenom historic o kralich, dracieh,.anebo o stra gidlech, to dloveku naskakuje husi kfiZe a jako by kekaveho uhli nasypal do prsou. Kdy g Roch nekdy povidal takove historie, poslouchala bych ho do rana. Takove kni2Zky vy, pane Jeniku, nemate?"

"Kdopak by Ceti takove bajky!" vybuchl Jenik pohrdlive, velmi rozhokeen.

"Bajky! Co vas nema! Roch piece o tom vital i z tigtenYch knih."

"Hlouposti yam aetl, vYmysly a M.!"

"Coe? Capak by lide vymY gleli takove krasne veci jen pro oklamani?"

"Tot' se vi, v geeko to jsou bajky a snayglenkyl"

Ve stkedu 15. srpria 1955 "To o polednicich a dra,eich neni tedy pravda?" ptala se Jagna stale smutneji.

"Neni to pravda, vZdyt' yam to kikam!" odpovedel Jenik netrpelive.

"A to taky neni pravda, ze Pan Jelig putoval se svatYrn Petrem, co?"

Jenik nemel uZ ;kdy odpovedet, protole z eista jasna, jako by ze zeme vyrostla, stala pied nimi Kozlova, a posmegnyma barna hledela na ne.

"Pane Jeniku, hledaji vas po cele vsi!" iekla slad'ounce.

"Co pak se stalo?"

"Na faru pfijely tki bryoky pine eatnikii."

Jenik zneklidnen vyskodil a dal se do behu.

Jagna gla taky —obratila se ke vsi, ale byla jakasi posmutnela.

"Jiste jsern vas vyru gila z modleni, co? zasykla Kozlov'a, ktera gla vedle ni. ' "A co by z modleni!

"Aby yam ten jedovatY jazyk v tu chvili upadl!" vybuchla, Jagna a pospigila napked.

"Aspon ti bode mit kdo dat rozhke geni!" kkieela za ni Kozlova, posmegno.

10 Jagna fined, jak ykrodiPa do vesnice, pozorovala, ze se dojo cosi dfileliteho; psi zukive Stekali, deti se schovavaly v sadech, vykukujice jenom za stromy a platy, a bide, ac bylo slunce je gte vysoko, se uZ schazeli zpoli; pied stavenimi postavaly tine rozmluvajici zeny a na vaech tvatich bylo videt velike rozellen', oci vgeeh byly pine nleku a ofiekavani.

"Co se deje?" ptala se Jagna Balcarkovy decry, ktera vykutkovala za rohem.

"Nevim, ale od lesa pry jde vojsko."

"Jelig, Maria! Vojsko!" Jagne se stradiem rortkasla kolena.

"Klombily chlapec zrovna ted' kikal, Ze kozaci tahnou od Vole", dodala Pryekovd, nekam pospichajici.

Jagna pkidala do kroku a ye velkem strachu pkibehla do chalupy; matka sedela na prahu s koudeli v ruce a vedle ni stalo nekolik Zen, ktere mluvily jedna pies druhou.

"Videla jsem je, jako vidim vas — sedi pied domem a diistojniei jsou u farake."

"A pro fojta, poslali varhanikova

"To je jiste, ale nic dobreho z toho nevzejde, uvidite, vzpoment,e si na ma slava!"

"Tak ja, varn povim, prod piijeli!" zaCala JagustYnka.

2enske se srazily do houfu jako husy a natahly dychtive krky.

"Budou vas odvadet na vojnu!" zasmala se baba skkehotave; nikdo se vgak k jejimu smichu nepfidal, jenom Dorninikova, ugtepaene kekla: "Vy si vadycky z lidi jen utahujete!"

"Protole debate z komara velblouda! vg em bezmala zuby ze strachu vypadaly, ale zatim by kaZda chtela, aby se neco dela. To je toho, eetnici!"

Obratily oei na druhou stranu rybnika a sledovaly oba muZe. "T-che, taky Gkelu volaji!"

Ale neuhodly, protole Gkela pustil bratra flanked a 'sam obhnel bryeky, stojici pied farou, vyptaval se vozkn, ob= hliZel Cetniky sedici pied domem a po-' torn polekane spechal k Matou govi, 'ktery pracoval na Stachove chalupe; ten prove sedel rozkroden na lakebenu stkechy a delal sekerou zakezy na zasazeni krotvi.
