POKYNY OD BRATRA TAJEMMKA Mho sestry a eteni brat•i:

J. F. CHUPICK

Od jejiho zalaeni 1. eervence, 1897, do 31. srpna, 1956, nage Jednota vyplatila 6110 (imrtnich podpor. Za, celou tuto dobu nage Jednota nemela nikdy skrz vyplaceni imutnich podpor neja.ke soudni rolepte neb soudy, To je krasnY rekord.

My, elenove nagi Jednoty jsme vgichni hrdi nad tim, ze naSe Jednota v2dycky vypotadala jeji povinnosti vuei kaalemu kornu byla nee° povinna. My chceme aby ona si tento krasnY rekord udriela nadale. . . Jsem jisty,ze kaZda elenkyne a kaZdy Glen nagi Jednoty si to pteje aby nage Jednota vyplacela umrtni podpory po jejich zemtelYch elenkynich a clench nejen bez soudu, pte,sne, ale, take aby je vyplatela rychle, hned bez odkladani a bez odtahovani. Aby ale nase Blavni fitadovna, mohla vyplaceti umrtrychle, bezodkladne, musi v ni to smize tnti podporu a pomocnou rukou od clenu nak Jednoty a na prvnim miste od neednikia naMch mistnich du KdyZ na,k Jednota obchoduje prostkednictvim mistnich tadA, tak vgecky umrtni podpory se vyplaceji prostfednictvim tadu. KdyZ nektera elenkyne neb e'en na gi Jednoty zemfe, tak je to poAlmost Tajerrinika mistniho tadu vypiniti a podepsati s piedsedou mistniho fa.du,'tak zvanou listinu "Utedni Umrtni oznarneni" 'della, pro ktery iteel mame zvlaSt pripravene formulate neb listiny, na ktere inistni rad musi Hlavni Coy ne podati vsecky podrobnosti tykajici se elenstvi toho zemfeleho elena; kdy on do JednOty ptistoupil, dislo a obnos jeho certifikatu, a take udati komu, die knih domaciho fadu, jest pojigteni zemteleho, odkazano. Vaecky tyto informace. ktere se na torn Umrtnim oznamein jsou velmi dillelite a maji

za sebou jistou pfieinu a proto je to nutne aby tyto listiny, Utedni funrtni oznameni", elena byly v:Zdy v kaZdem ohiedu a podrobne vypinenY aby se lake deglo zbyteene korrespondenci, ztrate tasu a penez, s nespravnym vyplacenim Umrtni podpory.

S kaalkila takovYm fitednim "lamanim oznameni" elena mistniho tadu musi take na Hlavni fitadovnu, poslati tak zvanou listinu "Proof of Death", kterou musi vypiniti ten leka,t kterY zescnuleho /cited jeho smrti lecil. Na teto je tomu lekaki ptedloleno asi 16 otazek, ktere on ma spravne odpovedeti a pak irta, tu listinu podepsati pied Notatem ovetiti. Statni Odbor Poji gteni to poladuje abychom s kaZdou iimrtni podporou kterou Hlavni fitadovna vyplati Hlavni iltadovna mela dokumentarni vysvedecni o Multi toho elena.

KdyZ, pro nejakou ptieinu nemUete obstarat neb dostati poladanou "Proof of Death" listinu od lekake, tak v jistYch pripadech "Certificate of Death" od Statniho Zdravotniho Odboru neb od Bureau of Vital Statistics, kterou pro Vas maze obstarat pohrobnik, postaei, ale v pilpadech kdy zemfe Glen kterY by' panterne kratkou dobu v Jednote, tak v takovem ptipadu musime miti hore uvedenou "Proof of Death" listinu, vypinenou tim lekatem kterY toho zemteleho pied jeho smrti 1661. Toto je velmy dilleiite.

AC hore uvedene poladavky s yypiacenim imirtnich podpor jsou ptedepsany a se vyZadUji jiZ mnoho rokft, jest velice mnoho pripadri ve kterYch, kdyZ mistni tad poSle oznameni elena na.

Hlavni Uradovnu bud'to nepoSle nam obe hore uverlene listiny anebo poste nam ittedni "Oznameni Umrtni" velice

Musime psati o dodateene informace a tim .se vyplaceni iimrtni podpory opozdi a proto orat •i a sestry a zYlagte Vy fitednici rnistnich iadu, pigi prosttednictvim Vestniku na Vas tento apel abyste na to painatovali a abyste vyhoveli temto poladavkiim kdyZ nekterY Glen Va geho kadu zemte, tak aby Unartni podpora mohla bYti vyplacend hned.

CINNOSTI DOMACiCH RADU Rad eislo 47, Seaton, Texas Bratri a sestry:— Tak 1.12 mame jeden meznik trvani nag i sine za sebou. Za tech 50 let, co sin stoji staly se velke zmeny. Dne gni pomery jsou docela jina.ai neZ byly tehdy.

A'co bude za pri gtich 50 let, jake zmeny se' stanou za tu dobu? Bude to k lepgimu riebo k hor gimu? My nevime co bude zitra, tak se nebudeme starat o to, co bude za 50 roku. Kdy2 jsem roku 1906 pri slavnosti otevreni sine mel proslay k na.vgtevniktim, tak se mi ani ye snu nezdalo, ze za 50 let budu mit prile2itost na torn samem miste par slov k nagim hostion promluvit. Byl jsem tehda jak se rika mladk zajic (nekolik me situ mladgi neZ jsem dnes) a co bude za 50 roktl, nad tim jsem si hlavu nelarnal Ale tolik mohu Met, ze za druhkch 50 let Zadnk proslov Mat neminim.

Na nynejAi pomery se na ge jubilejni slavnost dobre vydarila. 112 matieka roda byla nam prizniva, poeasi bylo pekne a neopakoval se velikk de gt', jak roku 1906. A vzdor tomu, Ze byly poPaclane jine podniky, jak ku prikladu sokolskk slet v Houston.u, nav gteva byla slu gna a byli tu nav gtevnici z dalgich mist byli tu Bohug Zvolanek s manklkou a Frank Steiner z Dallas, byli tu hosti z Ft. Worth, pani Ruby Holy s manklem ze San Antonio. Frank Vytopil s manklkou z Wheelock, Frank Sontag s rodin.ou z Houstonu, dale hosti z Rosebud, Cameron, Buckholts a jini. Aeko jsme men velike vydani, piece slog ny zisk, ale protole nektere podrobnosti nebyly vyrovnane, nemohu jegte udat jak velikk byl obnos eisteho ykteZku. Mimo to br. Valeik zahajil sbirku na domov odpoeinku, ktera vynesla 79 dolarn a prispeli na ni basledujici: $10.00 Stepan Valeik 10.00 F. E. Hejl st.

nosti budou v diteni radu at bude nag domov odpoeinku postaven a pak budou odevzdane na prave misto. Myslim, ze br. Valeik popik prnbeh slavnosti tak jej popisovat nebudu. Je velikk rozdil mezi poradanim slavnosti za starch easir a dnes. Tehda neco podobneho bylo podnikem eiste osadnim a nebylo v takovkch rozmerech jak dnes. Ted' takovk podnik vytaduje mnoho prate a pianovani se stran vkboru, vypracovat v gechny podrobnosti a nekdy i pri nejlepgi vuli se neco opomene. A kdyZ je podnik v obelm, yyZaduje to spolupraci vgech Clem, aby nekde neco nevaz1o. A v tom ohledu si nagi bratri a sestry zaslouZi uznani, Ze s vkborern ochotne pracovali.

Jest to i patrno na naAich poslednich sjezdech, kde jest stale vice mladYch 'SkolenYch 'dent' co se hrde hiasi 2e jsou naSinci.

My stark si musime uvedomit, 2e ti mladi maji vet ginou sveho 2ivota -pied sebou a my zase vet'Sinu nakho ji2 za sebou, tak nechtelme aby se vraceli zpatk:y k nam, ale radeji jim vyjdeme vstric, sna2me se jim porozumet a nechtelme, aby oni v2dy roziniteli nam.

T. B. lilubueelnOBDIV PRO TEXAS Za celeho sveho Zivota byl jsem v Texasu pouze jednou a to minuleho roku pti narodnim sjezdu Zapadni 6esko-Bratrske Jednoty odbkvanem v Dallas. Obe cesty byly vykonany letem, pobyt omezen na zasedaci sal krasineho baker hotelu a letme prochazky "loopem", tak2e ne juke hovokeni o Texasu nema smyslu. Nepomaha ani fakt, Ze syn jest ji2 druhkm rokem residenenim lekatem v universitni nemocnici dole v Galvestonu na mexickem zalivu, nebot' ma velmi India easu na psani.

Vzdor tomu muj obdiv pro Texas se datuje do prvnich let dvacatkch kdy jsem byl spojen s narodne znamou velkolekarni firmou W. F.

Have you ever thought that: All over fr.aternal societies deal with a most prized treasure which is our Se7 curity, our health and our life?

All our fraternal societies operate with one of the most modern systems of 'life insurance and all premiums are based on the American plan of moratalityJon or around 3 per cent.

You can not only safeguard youi family's future financial security,; but also wipe out the nightmare of money , worries by our protection with an :en dowment income at 65 for as long: : as. you live.

Our S. P. J. S. T. has up to 1956 paid out since its organization over $5,243.000,00 in benefits.

Sisters and. Brothers: On the following pages you will find our membership reports as compiled in our office for the period beginning January!l.st, and ending August 31st. The reports reflect the new membership by Districts, Lodges, and the distribution into the several classes of the Adult and Juvenile Departments. The close of the distribution report gives the breakdown of-the Adult and Juvenile Departments with a recapitulation of both departments and the total for the period beginning January 1st, and ending August 31st.

These reports reflect the work of your local organizers, who work in your immediate lodges and in your immediate communities. They are enthusiastic in this. , :work, and they are interested .in the lodge system of our Order. rril the lodge system families and friends are brought together in wholesoul e fellowship and entertainment. The entertainment, enjoyment, and satisfaction which one can get from radio, television screen and others cannot sat7 isfy . the desire to be together in fellowship with others. The lodge system has a unique advantage to bring people together regardless of their political and social standing. n addition to this, the lodge system provides a program for the youth. The :;outh of this lodge system under the tutorship of the Youth Leaders, prepare and perform in community programs and entertainments. It is in the lodge work, we prepare our youth to be leadcrsi'It is here that we can do our greatest Work for our Nation.

When in company with your friends why not, when the occasion arises, mention our Order, ite fraternalistic work and the many secure plans of insurance it offers? The added features of a fraternal, the meetings, entertainments, programs and fellowship are as much a part of our Order as the insurance itself. It may be that you may not have at' hand the exact figures of costs and benefits of our many plans but you can safely refer your friends to your Lodge Organizer. I am( sure that he/she will be prompt in making an appointment with the new prospect.

In behalf of our Organizers, I thank you for the help you have given us and ask that you continue to do so in the future. With best wishes, I am, Fraternally yours, Supreme Lodge SPJST, Edward L. Mairek, Pres. ) 4„ • ( NEW MEMBERS

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS the deceased has been appointed by the Probate Court, gave bond and qualified as such Administrator- or Executor. All this always involves considerable expense; attorneys fees to represent, the estate before the Probate Court, and other incidental expenses, which expenses, in many cases consume considerable part of the insurance. So far the Supreme Lodge has been faced with the payment of probably not more than six death claims, in which the death benefits were assigned to the "estate" of the deceased, and without an exception, the beneficiaries involved regretted that the insurance was thus assigned. We have a case like that pending for several months, because the beneficiaries involved do not want to incur the expense of probating the will, etc., claiming that after deducting the indebtedness against the certificate, the net proceeds of the death benefits hardly warrant the expenses for attorneys fees, etc., involved with such procedure. As far as the Supreme Lodge is concerned, it would gladly avoid these expenses, but unless it is convinced that such death benefits may be paid, safely, in some other manner, these death benefits shall not be paid.

Iii a vast majority of cases the insuranec of our members is assigned, either tq the wife or husband, of the member, as the case may be. When a member dies and the records of your local lodge indicate, that the death benefits under the,,certificate, are assigned to a beneficiary who is deceased, then according to our By-Laws (see Art. 121) and our State Laws, the insurance automatically :falls to the children and legal heirs' If the insurance carried by our memof the deceased.

PREPARING A GENEALOGY Editor's Note:—We consider our Brother Chervenka's articles very interesting and we are sure that all our readers will be happy to hear from him, on this or any other subject, again. After the new year we will try to translate all the articles that Brother Chervenka will be kind enough to write for our Vestnik into the Czech for the benefit of our older readers. Thanks again.— L. 0. Hosek.

Like the weather, the subject of this article is truly one of those things which everyone talks about at some time or another but about which most persons often do very little. Unlike the weather, though, there is much that can and should be done on the preparation of a genealogy—often termed a family history or family tree. It is the writer's hope that this article may cause more persons to become interested in compiling a genealogy and will be of some assistance to them in their work by offering suggestions of a syStematic "Do It Yourself" approach to the work.

It is not necessary to explain in much detail why the preparation of a genealogy of one's family is a worthwhile task. At some time or another, everyone becomes sentimentally interested in knowing of his ancestors, pedigree, lineage, and other facts of his family history. Although it is not advisable for any one to live too much in the past thinking of his ancestors; it is, however, psychologically beneficial to a person to know something of and be proud of his forbears to better enable him to fit inta the present day civilization and society. The more generations back a family is traced and the more biagraphical information, photographs, and other information which are included, the more interesting and meaningful is the genealogy.

In addition to the sentimental and psychological values of a. genealogy to the present and future generations, it may at times also prove very useful as a handy source of reference information (for death notification of relatives, etc.) and may even be an important aid in the determination and location of heirs involved in the settlement of legal matters. Since the last SPJST convention took a definite step for the beginning of an SPJST Museum, Library, and Archives and since future conventions will no doubt go even farther in expanding this activity, it is important that the genealogies of as many as possible of the SPJST member families be

recorded to date will not be lost forever and that some day his personal information may be sufficiently complete for publication. Once sufficient information (and this is something for the compiler to decide) is obtained to warrant publication of the genealogy, this may be done relatively simply and inexpensively by mimeographing or it may be printed and be made elaborately complete with photographs and chapters on the history of each branch. of the family. After a genealogy has been reproduced, the person compiling it seldom has difficult yin disposing)of the copies because almost every perspri included in the genealogy will rant a copy of it. In the publication of, a gen, ealogy, space „should be provided at all appropriate points for the inclusion of additional genealogical information be-, fore the genealogy may be revised to be complete and be reprinted at SPme later date.

Genealogical information may be gathered, arranged, and published in eral forms. One of the most graphic methods is by means of a family tree chart showing how the family started with the earliest known ancestorS. (trunk of tree) and branched off 'into the various descendants and their fain-.

Hies (limbs of tree). However, the tamfly tree arrangement is difficult to Work' with and much desired information earl= not be easily included without making the chart too large and complicated. A better method may be to arrange 'the. information in book form with separate page.s for each main branch of the fartily and indentation to distinguish one generation from the other. Full naine' should be used almost any amount O1' available statistical and current (late'st'' address and occupation) information' about each person may be included by an appropriate coding system which should be explained early in the genealogy. An example of one entry in a fictitious genealogy is shown below:

prepared and included in these archives for posterity.

It is also not necessary to explain in much detail why the preparation of a genealogy of one's family is a somewhat urgent task which should be started immediately if the statistical information is to go back several generations as it should and if it is 'to include much other information which will make it more complete and interesting. Although European and early American court records are not very complete or adequate for genealogical purposes, there is much genealogical information still available in the memories of aged but still living ancestors. For obvious ma, sons, this information may be lost forever if it is not captured and permanently recorded soon. There is also much such information available in the form of photographs, family Bibles, letters, and other notes and memoranda. However, some of these records need interpretation by these living ancestors who are familiar with them and the language in which they may be written.

Because these records ,relics, and mementos of the past are being divided and subdivided by each successive generation, their meaning and value is often not understood or realized by presons unfamiliar with them; and many are being discarded and destroyed daily in the present day emphasis on orderly homes and attics which are not cluttered with "useless" things.

A person who is interested in compiling a genealogy of his family and its many associated branches should begin his work immediately and should solicit the help of any relatives who are interested in this undertaking. Fortunately, almost every family has some member who is almost naturally interested and/or qualified for pursuing this type of activity. These persons may assist in working up certain sections of the genealogy or in obtaining certain GENEALOGY OF JOHN JONES AND IDA SMITH. bits of desired information from others (1875-1956) (1-10-48-Rogers)' who live at a distance or, as may often John Jones (1-5-75-Houston) ers Cern.)

The second line shows that he married Ida Smith on June 10, 1895 at Elgin; that they had three children; that their occupation was farming; and that they lived- at Elgin and Rogers for most of their lives. The third line shows the date and place of birth, death, and burial of John Jones's wife, Ida Smith. Similarly appropriate information would be included for each of their descendants whether living, dead, married, or single.

All children born to them would be listed below in the order of birth and each succeeding generation would be indented over from the previous one. After the descendants of the marriage of the first son of John Jones and Ida Smith had been shown to its present generation (indenting the required number of times), then the genealogy would go back to the first indentation for the genealogical information of the second child of John Jones and Ida Smith. The information on his or her marriage and descendants would be completely developed and listed (with appropriate indentations) before going on to the family of the third child of John Jones and Ida Smith. Several pages may be required for one particular branch of the family while other branches may require only a portion of a page, depending upon the sizes of the various families, amount of information available and included and spacing used.

Any changes in the spelling of the family name, deaths or divorces and remarriages, adoptions, and any other variations from the normal order and form of entry would be included as footnotes at appropriate places.

Other genealogical information such as photographs and biographical narratives about the original family and the various descending families would be included as separate pages appropriately located in relation to the statistical parts of the genealogy.

When starting to gather information for a genealogy, it is advisable to arrange and record it in the same form as hos been suggested above for the final, published form, leaving blank spaces for unknown information. The blank spaces will readily disclose what information is needed at each entry and the indentation will help distinguish one generation from another. Use of a , loose leaf binder with ruled sheets is suggested because it will enable you to insert additional sheets where required and you ca nfinal type a page when you have all the desired information for that page. A loose leaf arrangement will also permit the addition of photographs and biographical information, as

they are received, at appropriate places in the genealogy.

Although the suggestions offered in this 'article may not be the best and you may already know of or will gevise a better procedure and form yourself, they dc, offer you a starting point if you wish to undertake the worthwhile activity of compiling a genealogy. At best, the task will not be an easy one; but remember that the sooner you start and the more diligently you work at it, the easier compiled and better a genealogy it will be. ) •A•(

The next meeting will be on Sunday, October 14 at Linden Hall at 2:30 p.m.

Fraternally yours, Emma Ceska • Waco, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: Just one week ago today I was inliolved in an unexpected and serious auto accident, driving carefully and yet I came within an inch of winding up in a morgue on a slab or seriously injured in a hospital. I was fortunate to

come out of the accident with only minor injuries, but thousands of other cases do not come out of such accidents with just minor injuries. Just this morning I picked up our daily Waco paper and read of an accident just a mile out of town claiming one person dead, three injured. I have just read the Houston Chronicle for this same date and it has a headline: "Deathless Days Snapped at 15." A man struck by a truck as he was crossing a street was only 30 years old and killed, less than 15 minutes later 'a 14-year-old boy was killed while riding on a motor scooter and yet we put off taking out life insurance or additional life insurance from day to day. Talk to your SPJST local organizer today and don't put off taking out that extra insurance another day.

Not long ago I was eating at a cafe and a young lady who served me looked worried and down and out; the place was not very busy and I started a conversation with her and asked why the long face? After some conversation with her I found that she was a recent widow with five children, her husband was killed in an automobile accident withcut a dime's worth of insurance. Just imagine what shape it left his family in!

A mother with five hungry mouths to feed and no money coming in! The mother not prepared to take this enormous responsibility on her shoulders, but what else could she do? Without special training the jobs she could get were few that would pay her a living wage for her and her five children yet she was game and worked to keep her children together. Stop and think: this might happen to your family if you keep putting off taking out sufficient life insurance so see your local organizer today.

Quite often I am told especially where I try to interest someone in an endowment policy: Why I can save that much money without a policy! That is true providing we can guarantee ourselves that we will live that long. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee ourselves that we will live another day . . . but life insurance is right there when something happens and if you decide on a $10,000 policy to be paid to you in cash at age 65 or any age for that matter and you only make one monthly payment and something happen-3 to you, that $0,000 is right 'Chore ready for your beneficiary, but had you decided that you can save that much money in the time you.took out an endowment

policy you would have had an estate exactly the size of one month's 'payment to leave to your beneficiary. Don't gamble, see your SPJST local organizer today and let hi mtell you about the types of SPJST certificates he can write for you.

What is LIFE INSURANCE? Today's modern types of life insurance contracts are the safest and best mediums with which to build an estate and you don't have to die to COLLECT on the right kind of life insurance. In reality,';life insurance is A GUARANTEED SAVINGS CONTRACT . . SPJST guarantees to deliver to you or your beneficiary ,the mount of the contract for a low ivanthl; iy or quarterly payment. This s4thitiract is payable as per agreement made Eby you and SPJST if you live on the terms you agreed upon, but should something happen to you before the contract s is completed then SPJST immediately pays your beneficiary the full face of ',such contract even if you had only made,one monthly payment. That's today's life insurance—SAFE . . . THRIFTY SURE. In closing I would like to extend,to Brother Hosek my sincere cooperation in his new work of editing our Vestrilk, and when he takes over the position on January 1st I am sure that his: job will be made easier if all of us keep our contributions coming to help hint make our Vestnik more interesting., I also want to thank Brother Valcik: for the splendid work he has done for, us in editing our Vestnik and the fine, co-, operation he has always shown in.his work, Fraternally yours, Otto Hanus ° • Temple, 'Texas Dear Brother Hosek: Since oar last convention voteCV, a certain sums for the erection of the SPJST Rest Home it appears to me'that all of the proceedings of the conVeni, tion pertaining to the Rest Home should be printed or published in Vestnik in ONE ISSUE.

But, no amount of criticism criticism is increasing in value. will help the situation, but possibly It is however, quite noticeable that makes it worse. In an organization like the number of letters from our mem- ours this effect is much worse than in bers in the Vestnik is quite less than the case of an individual. Let's remembefore the convention.

Brother Hosek, there are many of us who will help you to give us our Vestnik like the majority of the members would like to have it, and there is no doubt that you will be successful in doing so. But, to help assure yourself of this success, you must guard against making the same mistake that our present editor made — and that is to assume, like the editors of most of the big dailies and the majority of . the weeklies published in our state and,pnr country are doing; that "Freedom,pf the Press" means freedom! for the. editors, columnists and many of the, reporters, of such newspaper to say,,,enT dorse and recommend only the things which they like or want to Out- Ant,,q effect by rules, regulations and laws, whether the public thinks so or not.

Wadnesday, September 19, 1956 LIFE INSURANCE FORCES ENCOURAGES THRIFT Not only does life insurance render safe the insured's efforts to accumulate a fund through saving by hedging him against early death, and furnish a profitable and safe investment, but, for the great majority of people it constitutes an excellent means of encouraging and even forcing thrift. There are few institutions, if any, which have given such excellent schooling along this line. Savings banks, of course, do their share in developing the saving instinct among the masses and building and loan associations have also assumed a prominent position in this respect. But, usually, institutions of this character have the shortcoming of permitting the depositor to withdraw all or curly all of the funds after giving notice of a certain number of weeks, with the result that a resolution to save over a long period may be broken the depositor for one reason or another sees fit to withdraw the amount deposited.

WHAT YOU OUGHT TO READ In July issue of a certain monthly a story appeared about a young Czechoslovakian girl of 16 who won skating rink championship, was subsized by the government, but because she was a good dresser and put on lipstick, the Czech government said she can't be trusted. For three years she was not allowed to compete outside the Iron Curtain, but at the age of 19 she was sent to Vienna. She got a chance and escaped. She is now appearing in New York. This too was in our daily press.

In recent issue a certain weekly tells a story about how Czechoslovakian people feel toward us criticizing "Radio Europe." We don't want music, they say, what we want to know is how much your laborers get, what conveniences you have, and why have you forsaken us.

"Why didn't you take Prague when you were at Pilzen?" Well, today we know that we should have taken Prague and Berlin as well, but the old fox Stalin outtraded the Allies and not just us.

According to the article, the people of Czechoslovakia are still for us, but don't understand us.

She said she didn't like the English section, it was not edited right, but my oh my, her Czech. When I corrected her, she said "Oni totam tak Mluvja" (mluvi), continuing in her lingo: "Neil." I am going to make some suggestions how to learn Czech, suggestions are to suit. Read the "Protestant Bible," it's in simple Czech, but pure language. If that don't suit, read "Babicka" by Bozena Nemcova. She was a Catholic and if you don't like either read Karel Havlicek, what he wrote and not what someone else wrote about him.

I understand he and Nemcova were friends.

Northern newspapers would be all right if they didn't use so many international words. Besides, all the newspapermen are lazy and lack understanding. They, for example, write an article about Habes and since they are educated in Czech geography they think that the American born too should know, but on the average he does not.

If they would write Habes (Ethiopia), Why our editors don't mention these we would understand and so with all and other items about us which appear other geographical names in Czech, in English press? I tell you they are give us the English for it.

Strana 27 DR. MIROSLAV TYRS---TO A NEW GENERATION IN AMERICA To expect everyone to delve deeply into the true meaning of Tyrx and his philosophy would be wishful thinking.

Were the great maojrity however conscious of the satisfaction and peace of mind that comes to those who do, they would do everything in their power to truly understand. This is one of the few things that cannot be bought, borrowed, or stolen. It can only come thru perservering effort, hard work, and serious concentrated thinking. This is not a note for discouragement but an appraisal of what lies ahead of us.

Were Tyry alive today, speaking to us and our youth, he would probably say, —"I am both thrilled at your theihnical and material advance, and at tale same time disappointed that you failed to grasp the heart of my grea dream, I had closely followed your progrfess and had sent many of my best men to you to lead you. Athletic America, grasped my means, but not my goal. The gymnastic training, with its teaching of self- discipline, good health, a strong body, and courageous heart was to be only a stepping stone to a fuller life' The lessons of perseverance, continuous effort, and cooperative manly competition, were to be only tools that would induce you to use the same methods in your thinking."

"Patriotism, love of country were not to be mere platitudes, but a spur for the finest efforts in self development."

This should have led you to know and appreciate the finest creative achievements of man, in the field of art, sculpture, music, philosophy, the professions and science. It should have been a challenge that would lead you up and up, exihilarated by your knowledge and your striving for perfection."

"Instead I find a world embittred, disillusioned, groping in the darkness, when the key is wihtin reach of its hand."

"Please try to understand. Your salvation is in your own hands. You can perform miracles. Others have done it before you. To be a Sokol — be one. You know the rules, follow them faithfully, and when we meet again I know you Will be a finer man or woman because you are Sokols," Nazdar!
