Jak by to bylo povzbuzujici, kdyby kaZde 6islo nageho Vestniku mohlo bSrti venovano nekteremu tadu v Jednote, nektere vStznainne °slave, nejakemu zaslouZenemu podniku.

Minule eislo bylo pekriSm vzorem. VAichni eleni kadu Hvezda Texasu eislo 47 melt radost, ze,jejich stanek a jejich prace byly uznany.

DneSni eislo je zase venovano jine skupine bratrfi a sester, kteti tvoti tad Slovanskou Lipu eislo 66 ye Waco, vlastne V mesteeku Elm Mott, lelici asi devet mil severne od Waco.

Pad Slovanska Lipa zaslouZi si pinYin pravem uznani a pochvalu. Zatim co jine tady, kdysi me,zi temi nejptednej gimi a nejznamej gimi, disimou, kiesaji a vtibec nijak nepokraeuji, tad Slovanska, Lipa vzpamato yal se a v kratke Jobe nejen ze se postavil /la nohy, ale vybudoval si domov asi za $30,000 a vzrostl mnohonasobne.

Prave pied rokem, tine 28 , srpna, 1955, bylo slavnostni otevkeni noveho dornova tadu Slovanska Lipa. Tenkrdt, abych mohl dati clenum zaslotiZenou reklamu, zajel jsem schvalne do Waco, vyhledal jsem fitedniky, kteti svolali jen pro informace co nejvice 'elenti, abych se na vsechno p •eptal, mohl si udelati poznam ky a potom doma v klidu vgechno sestaviti. Ba dokonce sestavil jsern pro ne eesk31- a anglickSr yergik na znamou melodii. Jenne takovc reclaktorske zajezdy mely bYti sch ydleny pkedem. Muj zajezd byl, schvalen az dva mesice pozdeji. To prdve, co ztrpeuje nekdy spolkovou praci, kterd neni pro zisk jednotlivce, ale pro dobro vetsi skuPinys, Iktera si takoye pozornosti zaslouZi. Kdy2 jiZ jsm epii' °slave 501eteho trvani iadu Slovanske Lipy, musime si ptipornenouti, ze pted nekolika lety byla poslana do schtze Hlavni Madovny deputace, jak to zakiditi, aby i .ad mohl bYti rozpu gten a od dluhujicich elent poplatky vybrany. kad eital tenkrate jen asi 30 elenfi, z nich2 polovice Zila jinde a z tech, kteti byli v okoli Waco, byli ptevaZnou vet ginou lidi stargi, pies gedesat, uZ ve yeku, kdy, Clo y& ptestava stavet vzdusne zamky a plany do budoucnosti. V tadu bylo vlastne v zaoatku roku 1950 jen pet spolehlivYch a vytrvalYch. A kdyZ bychom ptipoeitali take jejich manzelky, tak bylo jich rovnYm eislem jen tolik jako prstfi na rukou.

A byly to prave tyto prsty, a ruce, ktere se chopily prate opravdove, bez rozpa-, a valadni, smele a vytrvale. Tak byla postavena nova sin. Ovgena, ptiklady

hnou. K (mem desiti ptidalo se dalgich deset, pak dvacet, a novYch dvacet. Nez sin byla postavena, tad eital nejakYch devadesat KclyZ jsem v srpnu 1955 zajel do Elm Mott, abych na vlastni oci videl a od samotnYch Clenti slygel, co vgechno vykonali, uminil jsem. si, Ze budu apelovati prosttednictvim Vestniku na vgechny eleny Jednoty, aby prijeli, komu to bude moZno, It slavnostnimu ote yteni nove sine tadu, kterY se vzktisil. PovaZoval jsem to za velikou moralni posilu nejen tamnej gimu tadu, ale take za yzpruhu pro rads v gechny, kteii radi si 1-A yime v nevgimavosti. MySlel jsem si, snad pohledem na "jejich dilo dostaneme trichu nad g eni, a Ze ptivezome si jistou east take dome, A jako jsem apeloval pted rokem, po. clobne einim i letos.

MAI nedeli tad Slovanska 'Lipa slavi sve jubileum, sve abrandmo yiny, svYch padesat let trvani. Kdo muZete, zajed'te na tuto slavnost.

Snad teknete, slavnost jako slavnost trochu teeneni, trochu deklamovani, trochu parady a elo yek ptijede domil unavenY- a o nekolik dolarU chud gi. Je vgak Zivot jen pro nass fsamotne, abychom jako pavouk sedeli skreeni ye svern koutku a eekali, az nee° k nain zabloudi, co by narn ptineslo obZivu? Z'' ijeme jen sarni sobs? Nepoeitame sve zname a ptatele a chvilku s nimi ztravene za kus sveho gtesti? Metime s ytij eas jen pohybern rueieek na hodinach misto abychom sytij eas meiili fidery srdce, vein v tvati a stiskem ruiky? A to praye je vYznam onech bratrskYch slavnosti, ktere na ge tasty potadaji, kde mame pkilektost sejiti se druh s druhem.

Minule nedele byla, takova pkilelitost pro mne a pro mnoho jinYch bratril a sester pti slamosti v Seaton. Pti gla ke mne jista pant, podala nil ruku a sdelila mne, Ze chodivala vedle na geho domku do gkoly. To bylo pied padesati lety. Take oslava. Se gel jsem se po padesati letech s nekYm, kdo chodil se mnou do gkoly. A podobnYch pkipadti bychom nagli pit kaZde slavnosti.

KaZda podobna slavnost je navazanim novYch znamosti a obnovenim starYch. Neni to jen slavnost razu inistniho. Je to . easto slavnost nas ptespolnich. Pkijdeme, najdeme se, znovu se pozname, a jdeme donni o hodne bohat gi na dojmy a na nova Matelstvi. Probudi se v na,s nee°, co mid po dal gim ptatelst yi, po vetgim kruhu znamYch a stejne citicich.

"Opodstatniti neb odvolati" Sestry a bratii!

Dnegni Vestnik, totiZ eislo 35 ze dne patella zati leta pane 1956 nam pkinagi na treti strance vYtah z protokolu tteti pravidelme schtze Hlavni kadovny. Tento vYtah jest as pieklad anglickeho protokolu, kterY byl uvetejnen ye Vestniku dislo 34 ze dne 29. srpna, — a o kterern pojednavam na jinem mists v tomto Vestniku, v anglicke easti.

Pozoruhodne v tomto vYtahu jest uvetejneni Ustni zpravy : bratra mistopiedsedy Kubeny, ktera z east doslovne zni: "Mistopredseda Kubena podal ustne zpravu o jeho inedni einnosti co mistop •edseda Hlavni iiiadovny za, druhe ctvrtleti 1956, ktera zprava byla podrobnE Hlavni inadovnou a zvlagte jeho zminka Ohledne zbyteeneho plYtvani easem a nespraVnYch vedeni sjezdu a zviaSfe prvni tri dny. (snad dni?)

Jak jsem shora podotknul, jest tento CeskY vYtah as pieklad z anglickeho protokolu uvekejneneho ye Vestniku dne 29. srpna. Nevim, a take nedbam, kdo ten preklad dela': jenom jsem jist, to nebyl nag redaktor Vestniku. K posouzeni toho, jak nepresny ten pieklad jest, uvadim dosiovne zneni teto easti v anglickem protokolu, ktera pravi: '`And especially his reference to the vanton waste of time and unfair tactics, employed especially during the first 3 days of the Convention".

V eeskem prekiadu bylo slovo "Unfair" gpatne preloleno aneb zUmyglne zarrieneno za mnohem mirnej gi Ceske slovo "nespra ynYch". Anglicke slovo "Unfair" v ee gtine mini nepoctivY neb nespravedlivY, kdeZto Ceske slovo "nespravne di nespravnYch", jak jest piekladatelem v tomto Kotokolit pouZito, mini anglicky "irregular neb take incorrect".

Ale at' ji2 bylo v eatine pouZito toho neb onoho slova, jsou to slova vrhajici pomluvu a naraZky o nedem gpatnem na jineho elena Jednoty.

Jeliko2 bratr mistopredseda Kubena podal svoji zpravu fistne, da, se picdpokladati, Ze take Ustne objasnil jeho vYrok, ze sjezd byl veden nepoctivYm — ("Unfair") zpiisobem. Jestli - se tak stalo, a bratr Kubena podal Ustne take hned dilkazy, ze se ye sjezdu jednalo "unfairly", — to jest, nepoctive, fiskoene, stranicky a take milZeme fici nebratrsky, bylo mu velice uktivdeno tim, neuvetejni jeho dokladu vystavilo bratra Kubenu kritice jinYch Ale, jestli je bratr Kubena hned ve schuzi nepodal, a jen . Uskoene nadha-

zoval, ze se ve sjezdu dely nepoctive veci, jest rozhodne moraine zavazan, jeho diikazy takoveho jednani ye sjezdu podati ve Vestniku co nejdri ye a jmenovati osoby, ktere se takoveho jednani dopustily. Neueini-li tak, musi jeho fistni zprava bYti kaZdYm slu gnYm elovekem povaZovana za neodpustitelnou gkodolibost a pomluvu. Tak, brat?e Kub'eno, wen s tim!

du by bylo vedeno spravneji a rychlejr.

Timto vYrokem se CleniHlavni nrudovny priznavaji, ze take oni videli ye sjezdu nespravnosti, tedy jest take na nich, aby nam napsah, kSTm ty nespravnosti byly pachany a jake nespravnosti to byly. Bratriekove, jestli na torn udelate takovY "job" jako na tech navrhach na oprava naSich stanov, paneeku, to bude mela. Tento vYrok a naStran na,tku bratra mistopiedsedy sledky jeho mne pripominaji co jsem Hlavni iiiadovny, ze se plYtvalo ve sjez Ceti jedenkrate v delnickem .easopisu ve zvlagte ty prvni tri dni, — stare viasti. Melo to nadpis "Povzdecti du easem, to mu take bude tako doka.zati, Jestli panskeho draba", a znelo to talto: — tim mini to, ze kaZdemu delegatu byl "Spravedlivost justice, ma bYti kaZdo popian Cas, aby se vyslovil jak na to fabrice, jak pftk jim main zavrit huby, neb ono pohlili a to jest to jedine, co kdyZ to neni lavice." by u neho mohlo bYti na za,vadu, -Zde by chtelo stvoieni sjezdu diktojest to ten nejlep gi zpilsob jednani ve vati, co ma anebo co nerna sjezd kona,sjezdu. Nerad bych videl, aby delegati ti. nebrali zajem o jednani, bylo a jest Druha pozoruhodnost v tom vYtahu z mYm pote genim, ze takovY' yelikY poeet protokolu jest stiZnost bratra Paylieka, delegatti se na jednani podilel, a jestli pravniho racice Jednoty, stran platu za to se bratru Kubencvi nelibilo, jest mne jeho pravi a slib, kterY mu snad byl jej velice lito. einen, ze urednici Hlavni idadovny jeho Dalo se IkaM3im, kdo jen troche pie- stiZnost prednesou ye sjezdu. Tento vYmfglel o tech mnohSrch zalaitostech, Latek z protokolu pak pravi: (totiZ bratr Pavlieek) ze kdy2 ktere .na sjezdu mely bYti a take byly projednavany, oeekavati, ze sjezd se za- tato zalelitost nebyla piednesena pied se protahne na celY tYden. Ale, ze ti konvenci druhYmi deny Hlavni &adokteti na prvnim miste maji o zalai- vny, ze on si ji chtel piednesti sam, potostech Jednoty pkemfgleti, misto 0 sledni den sjezdu — ale ze mu nebylo svYch nevraZivostech a politice, mnoho dovoleno tak ueiniti piedsedou a mistoo sjezdovem jednani nepiemYgleli, doka- piedsedou sjezdu."

Tohle jest zase jenom podloudna, agizuje naslcdujici mala rozmluva, kterou jsem tnei s kierkem hotelu Kyle, kdy2 taco proti tens nejlep gim a nejschopnejv patek rano jsem se zapisoval jako gim picdsecifun sjezdu. Nebyli to piedhost toho hotelu. Byl jsem tam jiZ pied sedove sjezdu, kteii bratra Pa ylieka votomto sjezdem no treti. Po zapsani lune lali k poradku, byl to Frank B. Steiklerk oslovil otazkou: "Are you here for ner, delegat fadu Pokrok Dallas eislo 84. kterY potichu upozornil bratra piedthe SPJST convention?" Odpovidam ano. Na to klerk pravi: "Well, that con- sedu. ze bratr Pavlieek ma bYti volan k byl-li na javention will not be very long: vie 'were poiadku. Jeho stiZnost kou opravnen, mela bYti podana, stiZtold that it will be over Thursday." — Neptal jsem se jej, kdo mu to fekl„ to nostnimu vYboru sjezdu. Aa kdyby ten-. nine bylo lhostejne, jenom jsem odtugil: to YYbor nebyl s to jeho zalelitost yy"Whoever told you that, did not know Pe giti, aneb tuto rozhodnul proti bratru much about the SPJST." — V sobotu ra- Payliokovi, tento se mohl prostrednictno jsme zase o tom mluvili, a klerk p0- vim sjezdovejno piedsedy na sjezd odvida: Kdybych se byl s tebou vsadil, ze volati. Na moje tithe upozorneni piedsjezd ukonei ye Ctvrtek, byl bych as seda sjezdu nemohl jinak jednati neZli bratra Pa y lieka na min protest upozorplatil." niti a Zadati, aby piestal svoji stiZnost Pak mime na.sieclujici vYrok v teto Cisti: coZ se take stalo. zprave, hned po dokoneeni zpravy bratMoje jednani v tomto piipadu jest ora Kubeny: pine opodstatneno desatYm elankem je"V rozniluve o teto feci ktera nasle- dnaciho poiadku sjezdu, kterY pravi, ze. dovala bylo usneseno, ze Hlavni fita- Zadna, stiZnost nebude ve sjezdu projedovna ma se o to zasadit aby v budou- dnavana, dokud nebyla piedlolena sic ucnosti se takove nespravnosti na sjezdu vaZeni a rozhodnuti sjezdo yemu stiZneopakovaly a aby se udelaI predem nostnimu vYbortt. To se oestalo, snad rozvrh Casu die ktereho jednani ye sjez- neznalosti pravidel sji • z(lo yYch bratrem

dtrana 4 Payliekem, — a neni to nikoho jineho vina neZli jeho. Ani jsme tuto malou episodu neprotokolovali, abychom bratru Pa yliekovi usetrili zahanbeni, ktere on sam ted' vyvolal nejapnYm jednanim protokolu.

Sestry a bratri, po poslednich tkech sjezdech jest valy jistYm einitelem vyvolana, g eptava kritika sjezdoveho predsedy, kterY za poslednich tri sjezdti byl nag velice schopnY, nestrannY a trpelivY brats Geo. E. Kacif. Ale, Ze tato geptava politika nemela Uspechu, — a Ze brats Geo Hach' vzdor to politice byl znovu, - ye sjezdech v Houstonu a v Temple, zase zvolen predsedou sjezdu, — jest tato politika zataZena. do iirednich zprav ze schuzi na gi Hlavni firadovny, — aby to mato padnej gi vYznam. Jest dlu'Zito srdeene politovati takove jednani, a jen v ficlivu se mute na to hleciet, jak daleko se nekteri eleni na gi Hlavni akadovny snili, aby sve klevety opodstatnili. Jenom Zasnu nad tim, ze takovk protokol mohl bYti schvalen vet ginou jejich elenft. To neni jednani elenn. Hlavni firadovny, — to jest obyeejna a hruba politika, Iktera dosahnouti sveho fteelu kaZdYm zpfisobem.

Brats Geo E. Kacir jest ten jeden Olen, kterY jest nejschopnej gi nage sjezcly vesti. Jest v2cly. mirnY, usmevavST, trpelivy a na nejvyggi miru spravedlivY a nestrannY. Toho jest dfikazem, Ze' jiZ po -freti byl zvolen pkedsedou nagich sjezdu velikou vet ginou kaZdem sjezdu pies dvanact tisic z as osmnacti ti situ hlasa. To jest velikk yYznam.

KdyZ jsme se za posledni schfize tietiho okrsku starali, koho budeme miti za predsedu sjezdu, obratili jsme se na toho jednoho, kteremu kaZdY nifiZe duverovati, — kterY zna parlamentdrni prava a take dle rich jedna, — a ptali jsme se bratra Jii'iho Kacife, jestli by nominaci pkijal. Odpoved.el, ze se obava, Ze delegati se budou ohliZeti na to, Ze by byl ncminovan jiZ po treti, — a pkijati nechtel. AZ o sjezdu si nechal fief, — a jest to jen pote gitelne a take vYznamne ze zase byl zvolen velikou vet ginou A take proe by ne; my nemame drulneho, kterY by se jemu vyrovnal. Toho si budeme muset napred vychovati, Ze ano.

jake udelam, abych je mohl napraviti — s pomoci sjezdu.

Ted' etu "VYtall z protokolu" ze schftze 9. eervence, kterS*7 uverejnil tajeinnik Hlavni ttradovny (Vestnik, 5. zari 1956), kde mistopredseda ve sve zprave o jeho fifedni einnosti ma "fistni zminku ohledne zbyteeneho plYtvani casein a nespravnem vedeni sjezdu a zvlagte prvni tti dny." Dale v protokolu, v temZe odstavci, stoji, ze Hlavni firadovna se o to zasadi, "aby v budoucnosti se takove NESPRAVNOSTI na sjezdu neopakovaly."

Vim, Ze ten protokol neni dosud priiatY Hlavni firadovnou; ale Hlavni fira dovna by se mela a to postarat, aby nebylo dovoleno neco takoveho uverejniti ye Vestniku jednim firednikem. Nemohu porozumeti, proe nelze protokol ze schfize Hlavni Uradovny miti sestavenY, upravenY, pfeetenY a schvalenY pied ukoneenim kaZde schtze, jak to delame pH. schuzi Vykonneho vYboru RVOS. Take, pied ukoneenim sjezdu, na gi sjezdovi tajemnici nam preeetli protokol. Meli protokol hotovy presne v cas nezli jsme sjezd ukoneili, a nemuseli jsme na ne eekat. Take doufam, ze Hlavni Ufadovna se o to postara v pri gti schtizi, aby tento protokol byl opravenY, aby byl obrazkem pravdy.

Ti, kteri by teprve ted' pravili, Ze bill nespravnosti a tenkrat ye sjezdu — kdy a jestli se ty nespravnosti dely — piitom jenom. SEDELI, zanedbali sve povinnosti k sjezdu a k Jednote. Melt na to poukazat ihned. Jestli tam byli, nejoke nespravnosti videli a nic TAM nepravili, melt by ted' bYti ticho. Jestli brats Pokladnik nebo ja jsme neco nespravneho udelali pii vedeni sjezdu, kdyby nos kdokoliv na to upozornil, bylo by to ihned napravene.

Nepravdive “rroky, zvla gte v protokolu (o kterem vetgina elent mysli, kdy2 je ye Vestniku, Ze ji2 ma schvaleni cele Hlavni Aradovny), odebiraji zajern v Jednote a hlavne it Menu, kteri v minulosti zajem men. Velice nerad se ozYvam ve Vestniku, ale bojim se, Ze kdybych na to neodpovedel, nahodou by tomu elanku v protokolu nekdo Take je v temZe protokolu, Ze sjezdol,", preciseda mistopredseda nedovolili Payliekovi prednesti Zadost o dal g i plat so jeho praci v minulosti.

Nikdy mi nebylo reeeno ye sjezdu. Ze takovou Zaclost si preje prednesti. Tedy Spige nespravnosti v protokolu nebylo moZno, abychom bratr Pokladnik West, Texas nebo takovou jeho Zadost zamitli.

Mill bratki a sesary: On byl zastavenY, kdyZ chtel piednesti V poncleli, 25. eervna, brats Pokladnik stiZnost o jednom dopisu ye Vestniku — a ja, na Zadost delegatti, jsme prevzali co2 chtel vyvolati prave pied volbou ftvedeni sjezdu. Ma prvni slova byla, aby rednikfi. Nebylo to mistne. StiZnost mel mi delegati poukazali na chyby, jestli podati stiZnostnimu vYboru. 2adost o

plat mel podati vYboru na platy a dary.

Preji na gi Jednote mnoho zdaru.

Kdyh jsem chodil treti rok do Skoly, tak p. ueitel mi zadal piljeovat knihy ze skolni kriihovny.

Ale nebylo kdy na dagi rozklady, pro. tole v kostelese uz seSlo pul vsi a knez vychazel k oltari slouZit naSi na illnys1 poutnikil.

Jenik prisluhoval pri msi jako jerr2e mel dues tvar neeobiedsi, divne bolestnou a namodrale kruhy pod o(!ima, zalitYmi slzami, ye kterYch se mu jako v mlhach michal celY kostel, Terezka lezici po cele sluZby Berzi na zemi rozpjatYma rukama, ustrakne oci Jagniny. matka sedici v pansike lavici, poutnici i poutnice pristupujici ke stolu ne — jako mlhou videl to vkchno skrze slzy sotva zadrZovane, skrze Zalost dra..saiici mu srdce a skrze smrtelnY zarmntek.

Strana 10 statni cosi vyklaclali, ale marne — Jagna vedela a citila jen to, ze Jenik odchazi nav2cly, ze uz ho nikdy, nikdy neuvidi.

U Domnikove bylo ted' k nevyclrZeni.

Jagna chochla jako bezhlava, jako by o BoZim svete nevedela. Jindrich taky jen praci odbYval a stale easteji vyseclaval u Bimku; v hospodarstvi nastaval takovY npadek a takova, spouSt', ze dasto vyhaneli na pastvu ncpoclojene kravy, svine kvieely hladem, kone liryzali Zebriky a rZali u prazclnYcla 21abti. Stara nemohla vSeclano zastat, jests porad se belhala o hcli, s ()alma zavazanYma a napiil slepa. take nebylo divu, ze ji hlava hrozila rerskodit se starostmi.

Hama na v gechno nestaeila.

Na poll vysychal pod p genici lintij, kte rY nemol kdo zaorat, len IA prosil o trhaul, brambory bylo treba vyplet a okopat, nebylo ddivi na topeni, hospodarske'naradi se kazilo, Zne byly prede civetmi a prate pro desatery race stala, nikdo nieeho nev gimal. Dominikova, prijednala podruhyni, sama m y na Math., co mohla, deti honila do prate, ale Jagna byla jako hlucha ke v gem prosbam a vYkladaim a Jindrich, kclyZ mu hrozila, zpimne odnilouval: "Ja y arn s tint pra g tirn a ptijdu do sveta! Vyhnala jste Simka, tak si ted' clelejte sama. Jemu se tam po vas nestYska, chalupu ma, gro§ ma, Zenu ma, kravu ma a hospodat je naranmY." Jindrich tiaschval takto matku dopaloval, ale drZel se pritom opatrne vpovzdali.

"Opravdu, ten lotr si dovedl pomoci ke vSemu," vzdychala Dorninikova te2ce.

"Ani Nastka se nestaei divit, jak si ye vSein dovede pomoci."

"Well bychom nekoho prijednat, nebo si vzit pacholka" premY glela DominikoTa

Jindrich se po gkrabal v tYle a nesmele tekl: Bodejt', hledat ciziho, kclyZ je Sirnek ochoten — jenom mu Net —" "Jsi trouba! Nestrkej nos do toho, po ecin ti nic neni!" zavrdela matka, ad clobre vedela, ze tak nebo tak bude musit ustoupit a uzavrit se Sitnkem ndjakou dohocl u.

Ale nejvic se trapila kvuli Jagne; nacdarmo se pokouSela yyzveclet, co ji je.

Jindrich to m yna' nevedel a sousedek se neodvaZovala ptat, aby se toho nedozveclela pNlis ninoho. Po cele tri din po odchodu procesi tapala v protivne temnote nejrilznejich dohadn, as teprve v sobotu po poledni, neveclouc kudy karn, vzala pod paZi statneho kadera a vydala se na faru.

"Musite ji svleci do naha a pled kostel nimi vraty zmrskat metlami!" vykfikla Kozlova.

Stalin prkna z vozu a zaroven s hubjern Jagnu shodili na zem; Jagna padla naznak a ani sebou nehnula.

Lipeoti na Petrika s vozem ani neeeka vraceli se skupinach napred, ale nejak divne potichu. Vpolou cesty potkali Dominikovou, ktera cela, zkrvavena a v potrhanYch Aatech si stai nahmatavala hillkott cestu; kdy Dominikova pochopila, kdo jde kolem ni, vybuchla straA nYra hlasem: "Aby vas /nor a cholera zchvatily!

Kahl* jen hlavu prikreil mezi ramena a utikal ye strachu ke vsi.

A Dorninikova kroky pospichala na pomoc Jagne.

Hrorny bily jeden za druhYm, prevalovaly se s dunenim po obloze, zeme se chvela a chalupy se trasly.

Ale protac byly bity vichrici se vkch strain oslepeny blesky a mammy hukotem, 'nobly se jenom kroutit a sebou 2kubat. Odkudsi zvysoka skrze mraky tannotu a pliskanici preletavaly modrave blesky, litaly jako stada ohnivYch hadt, vyrvany odkudsi a viteny kdo vi kam, letely, mihaly se, ztracely a oslepovaly celY svet, samy slepe a nerve jako osud eloveka.

tiu, Fill

Celebrate Its 50th Anniversary September 16, 1956

The members of Slovanska Lipa No. 66 in Waco are all set for a gay and lively celebration at this hall located _in Elm Mott, nine miles north of Waco.

Only a year ago, this hall was built by the member s of Lodge No. 66. Those whose picture appears on the front page of this issue, did it practically themselves. And only six years ago, Lodge No 66 was on the verge of falling apart.

'Then a miracle happened. The lodge started to hold regu lar quarterly meetings, then regular monthly meetings, with luncheons being served after the meteings. It worked. Fr om a handful of five couples, who had the perseverance, the Lodge has been growing steadily. It now has about 12 5 active members.

him by the Supreme Lodge officers, this is what is interesting so far as the convention acts are concerned: The excerpts from the minutes state: "He stated that since this matter was not brought to the attention of the Convention by other members of the Supreme Lodge, that he tried to bring it up himself the last day of the Convention, but was not permitted to do so by the President and Vice President of the Convention." (Page 17, center column, lines 23 to 28 inclusive and then lines 35, 36 and 37.)

The statement that he was not permitted to bring up his salary grievance, if we can call his demands a/ grievance, by the President and Vise President of the convention is very much in error. It was the Secretary of the Convention, Brother Frank B. Steiner, who quietly called the Chairm'an's attention to the fact that Brother Pay.lieek was OUT OF ORDER with his complaint, and the Chairman had no alternative but to stop Brother Pa0icek reading his statement... This calling Brother Pavlicek to order was done quietly so as not to embarrass him, and was not entered on the minutes of the Convention.

The reason I called Brother Pavlicek OUT OF ORDER was very much solid, as his complaint was, a matter for the Committee on Grievances, to which he should have presented this complaint.

Only after the Committee has considered his case and could not resolve the complaint, had he the right to present

Six Years Ago -- axed Today (Continued from page 19) struction. The contract called for only the bare walls, roof, and unpainted, untrimmed, bare structure which was to be completed by members themselves in their spare time.

The members of Lodge No. 66, old, young, and recently admitted, all had a part in the finishing of the new hall.

On next Sunday, September 16th, the Lodge will initiate about 30 new members. That will run up the present membership to about 125. It will be a joyous Golden Jubilee, and a most remarkable achievement in a short span of only six years.

May it serve as a magnificent example and a fresh inspiration elsewhere in the SPJST.

Wednesday, September 12, 1956 his grievance to the floor, according to Convention Rule number 10. This rule was adopted on recommendation of the Committee for Daily Order and reads: "No grievance shall be submitted to the Convention before it is submitted to the Committee on Grievances, but if the Committee can not determine the matter, it shall be submitted to the Convention by the Chairman."

Brother Pavlicek had no reason to complain to the members of the Supreme Lodge, as anyone can very clearly understand, for he did. not follow the established procedure of 03nvention business, which is his mistake. Or, did he know the proper way to proceed in this matter? So, please do not cast aspersions and insinuations on the Convention Chairman. Brother Pavlicek had to be called to order one more time —when he submitted his opinion on the establishment of the SPJST Rest Home, insisting this be incorporated a,s part of the By-Laws after the By-Laws were accepted.

Here is a question that must be in the mind of everyone reading those excerpts from the minutes of that last Supreme Lodge meeting: Why publish such drivel in our Organ? The whole thing is nothing but bad politics, as practiced by some members of the Supreme Lodge, and is very, very regrettable.

Mrs. K., I will endeavor to enumerate just four big reasons why your husband received cold reception: 1st, newcomer; 2nd, we felt we did not need to import someone to run our SPJST; No. 3, your husband was the only one who had his picture in Vestnik (wonder if that was his own idea); No. 4, your husband was the only one who did not congratulate his winning opponent. All others did; and even in our National Convention we saw that Mr. Truman congratulated Mr. Stevenson.

And again, if you attended any of our conventions, you could not help but notice that eighty per . cent of the speeches made were by European born.

Attorney Hanka made the only worthwhile speech, when he said, "Leave your `klepy' at home, attend to buSi7 ness." How many years have we been re-writing our "Stanovy?" How much correcting will be needed at next convention?

The convention lasted five and onehalf days. The fusses were so bad that, we hardly had time for our "Rest Home" debate. By the way, I think' your committee will give you something that will, make you proud.

We have procured a home for the Supreme Lodge. We are now in process of building a Rest Home. Should we stop there? Certainly not!

This is one man's opinion. At, our next convention we should under.-write the Student Loan Fund and the Gzech Educational Foundation. Then we can say to our young people, "If you:will agree to obtain higher education, here. is the money, go get it."

Can you blame those three brothers for going to a neighborhood theatre on their bikes? Can you blame the 19year-old girl who ran into them when she was blinded by some thoughtless driver who was feeling so proud of his glaring lights that he never lowered the blinding beam? Would he admit, if he was accused, that he was the cause of the death of three brothers? Undoubtedly he speeded on, ignorant of the tragedy he caused.

And suppose those three brothers had been all insured with the SPJST. Isn't it our duty to think of our bicycle riders more seriously than only as a news item when a tragedy occurs?

Strana 23 observe some special rules, for those who travel on two wheels.

Ten such rules taken from the Bicycle Safety Program which is being urgently recommended for every state in the nation, are listed below. The, boys and girls in many cities have been working at this program for weeks.

They are all for it. So are their parents, the police and the civic authorities. Accidents involving bike riders are few and far between in this community.

Besides protecting themselves from the danger of injury or death, the youngsters are learning a respect for traffic rules that they will remember when they graduate to four-wheeled transportation.

Here are some of the. Bicycle Safety Program rules: 1. Dont take to the road un4i . you are expert enopgh to control your, bike at all times.

2. Keep every part of your bike — e peeially brakes — in good repair.

3. Don't ride another person on your bike and never ride twi g abreast in traffic.

4. Stay on the right side of the street, don't weave in and out of traffic. Obey all traffic lights and stop signs.

5. Signal your intention to stop or turn, and never make a left turn in traffic.

6. Never hook rides or closely follow cars or trucks. Watch out for cars pulling out from curb.

7. Never stunt while riding yourebie cycle in the street.

8. Always give the right-of-way to both cars and pedestrians.

9. Get off the street when you.; hear an approa,ching fire truck, police„ car or ambulance.

10. At night carry a headlight that can be seen 500 feet and a rear reflector that is visible 300 feet.

The Cost of Traffic Carelessness Some of our members may think that this article does not fit in the framework of the fraternal insurance topics.

Yet, it certainly may affect your pocketbOok and your economic progress. And the - words "economic progress' are stressed in Article Two of the SPJST by-laws.

All of us are hanging a price tag on traffic carelessness whether we live around Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio, Temple, or Houston. The price tag is for a staggering sum. Let me quoto only one example here where I live. Last week forty damage suits -growing out of traffic crashes were fiird here in Harris County district Those forty suits asked damages totaling $1,925,759.

At this rate, the annual bill for trafcarelessness would be more than one hundred million dollars in my county ;I I, me, here is no reason to suppose that the rate will not be continued. A check of court records indicates that last week's filings are average, that week in g rid week out, 52 weeks a year, a similar number of suits are filed.

ministrative offices to hear these cases, and insurance premiums are higher to meet the tremendous loss ratio.

Recently, the National Safety Council figured the costs of an accident on a national average. They reported: A fatal accident costs an average of $21,800; an injury costs $900; collisions with only property damage averages $180.

Insurance companies, because of the great increase in accidents, are faced with a tremendous problem.

In 1953 about $219,000,000 in auto insurance was written in Texas. The loss ratio — claims paid out — was 43 per cent, or $94,170,000.

One insurance company spokesman here said the loss ratio, coupled with normal operating expense of from 41 to 43 per cent, is putting many companies into the red on auto insurance.

Many reasons are given for the gigantic increase in the number of claims resulting from accidents. Auto registration has more than doubled here since 1947. Last year it reached 494,000 compared to 220,988 in 1947.

Civil suits nave kept pace, hand in hand. In 1947 "only" 3651 civil actions were filed. Last year the total was 7306.

There also has been a strong increase for the first three months of 1956 over the corresponding period last year. So far, 1927 civil suits, which include all type claims, have been filed, compared to 1837 for the corresponding period last year.

One attorney summed up the problem: "In claims cases growing out of auto accidents, no one ,wins.

Of course, not all of the claims filed will be paid. Attorneys specializing in such suits estimate that between 80 and 90 per cent of traffic damage suits are ,-ottled before trial begins, at a lower figure than was sought originally. Too, the plaintiffs don't always win.

On the other hand, many other claims growing out of auto collisions are paid off in out of court settlements. There are no court records on these claims.

The annual total is anybody's guess.
