Misto aby ho druhi krmili, musel se krmit sam. Musi se stale ilea. Je zjiSteno, 'Ze elevek nailed se v prvnich etyrech letech sveho detstvi stokrat vice neZ za celY svilj zbYVajici Zivot.

Tech zittkil moZna nebude dust. Clovek vidi, Ze vedle neho vyrnstaji dospeli Tide, kteti jeSte pied nedavnem byli cletmi, nova generaCe prostredniho veku.

My vSichni vime, Ze prechod z mladeho veku do pinoleti neni u kaZdeho stejnY. Nekdo obeas uvizne a podrZi si "clets-kou manYru" i v letech pozdejSich. A jako je postup z detstvi do jinosstvi a dospelosti nekdy nesnadnY, rovne2 je piechod z prostredniho veku , do stati east° neptijemnY. Jak pomoci tern mladYm pied pinoletosti, na to mame tisice Skol a statisice ueitelt. Jak usnadniti a zptijemniti nekalik zbYvajicich rokt stare-

mu eloveku, o to jsme se dosud nestarali.

Snad nekdo rekne, Ze se starame take o ty, kteti pkekroeili Sedesat, sedmdesat.

Skoro v kaZdena mesteeku mame tf2 pro ne postavenou nemocnici. Tarn jim dame nejlepSi lekarskti obsluint. Tam je zavezeme v pohocllne ambulanci. Tarn dostanou co potrebuji, bud' penicilin, nebo terramycin, bacitracin, streptomycin, subtilin ,insulin nebo jakYkoliv moderni lek. Zjeclname jim oSettovatelky, poSleme jim narue.,' ,kvetin, a za Sest tYdnn dovezeme je domn.

Co my vlastne vime o prijemnem podzimkrt starYch lidi? Celkem nic. Co dnes v kaZde osade, mesteeku, meste, okresu a statu pottebujeme je velike skupiny lidi, kteri by se zajimali o stare lidi a jejich potreby . Ne „pouze hrstka lidi, zde a made jeclnotlivci, ale cele skupiny lidi. ArnerickY riarod je mladY narocl a narodem mladVch lidi. Na'Se republika neni jeSte ani dve ste rokti stara. Dnes mame asi deset milionft pies 65. Za dvacet pet rokti bride jich dvaCet pet milionU..KaZdY rok ptibude milion. To budou osoby o kterYch dnes bychom tekli, "prichazeji do rozumu."

Tedy potrebujeme velike skupiny, ktePi by se zajimalo o staid. Jednak o ty stare lidi, ktere mame dries a kteri dosahli stab neptipraveni, a pak take o ty, kteki budou stari za deset, za dvacet let.

Na jedne strane citime, Ze meli bychom zachovavati ono pkikazani "Cti otce sveho a matku svou." Na druhe strane je takrka nemoZno miti tri generace pod jednou strechou, zvlaSte kde neni dosti prijmu nebo mista. Nejaka cesta musi bYti nalezena, aby prika,zani mehlo bYti dodrZovano, aby ficta k rodiCum nebyla poSramocena nebo dokonce znieena, aby newt& neSitil se z pokoleni

Posledni sjezd SPJST vykonal nadherny skutek. VYbor, k tomu poverenY, vybral misto pro Domov odpoeinku, zjednal stavitele, snaN se, aby svilj fikol spravne provedl. Ale na vYboru je pouze sedm jednotliven. Bude treba vice lidi, vice zajemcd, vice pokyrni od jinYch.

Jednou piednagee v ocperimentalni psychologii ptal ..e nine profesor, zdali sny jsou v reei Ceske nebo ke. Vysvetlil jsem mu, ze v obou. Nekdy se nme dokonee zdalo, ze jsem mluvil take gpanelsky nebo rusky. Aby na ge diskuse byla zajimavej gi, ptal jsem se profesora, zda jeho sny nebo sny druhYch posluchaeir v na gi skupine, jsou v barvach nebo jen 'Serie stiny. Nekteri studenti nemohli odpovedet. Nepamatovali si, jestli kdy men barevnY sen.

Pied dvema tYdny mel jsem sen o naAi S. P. J. S. T. Pigi tyto inicialky rozdelene a s pal teekami, protole sen byl takovk. A byl dokonce v barvaeh a v obou reeich. Kupoval jsem ye foyeru jakehosi prepychoveho hotelu listek na aeroplan nekam do ciziny. Sen nebyl ureitk, zda to bylo do Anglie nebo do Ceskoslovenska. Kancelistka se mne ptala anglicky, zdali jsem elenem SPJST. Shybla se, zpod pultu vktahla nejakou broZurku nebo jizdni sad. Vtom zahledl jsem na steno za firednici velkk napis v barvach, eervene, modre a bile. Byly to inicialky S. P. J. S. T. Teprve jsem si uveclomil, ze jedu nekam s nejakou vkpravou. UPednice mezitim zaeala hovorit se mnou Cesky. Byla to prave jeji eeska re'e, ktera, celk infij sen udelala nadmiru Zivk a milk. Vysvetlovala mi lahodnou eeskou reci, ze letucka spoleenost snaila pro vgechny eleny SPJST cenu listkil, ze kaZdk z nas dostane soukramou kabinu —to riZ jsme mluvili o parniku, ne o aeroplanu—a ze budeme miti take Ceskort hudbu. Mel jsem nap ped posit, ze jsem opoklenkin pasaHrem, ale device mne ujigt'ovalo, ze nekteri hudebnici a taneenici ze Schulenburgu jegte Tieba, eelS, sen byl hoilne pomichanV a nesouvislk, jednani a fee deveete jsem si zapamatoval. UvaZoval jsem o snu i po probuzeni. Na ge SPJST ma dobrou povest. Prato ze byl jsern. elenem SPJST, dostal jsem sniZene cestovne. Ba spoleenost se dokonce postarala, aby obsluha byla y Ceske reel, a aby celk svet vedel, ze je to vkprava sestavajici z ele nit SPJST, majici svou hudbu a sve taneeniky. Jegte po procitnuti mel jsem radost, ze nage Jednota.ma dobrou povest, ze si nas vaZi obchodni kruhy, ze jenom my meli bychom se stale prieinovati, abychom sami si dobre. jmeno SPJST nepokazili.

Anebo byl to sen, prorockY, kterSrm se pfedpovidaji veci, ktere se teprve stanou? Snad v proroctvi snu nevefime. Ale za den Ci za dva se prihodily veci, ktere mely s mYm seem jakousi spoji-

Nemohu fici., bylo-li to za den nebo za dva. 0 sedme rano dorazil jsem do La Grange, kde jsem pi-ibral kOmisare Sablaturu z Louise, okresniho soudce Schovajsu z mesta La Grange a patera Vinklarka z Moravie. Dojeli jsme do Taylor kratce pied devatou, kde jsme na . miste sveho dostaVenieka na gli asi 6080 lidi, kteri rids uZ oeekavali. Pal mestskeho etverce bylo reservovano pro nage Nozidla. Napied seznamovani s mestskkmi predaky, pak fotogTafovani vkboru pro mistni denik "Taylor Daily Press," pak kava a kolaee no uvitani v mistnim restaurantu, a hned na prohlidku onech mist, ktere mesto Taylor nabizelo darovati pro SPJST Domov odpoeinkl. A aby kartik Men vkboru mohl jednatim, uva'znvati samostatne, byli ji : rne posazeni do sedrri aut a prazdiaa mista v autech dopinena pra y:0(161mi. V popredi cele karavany byLsainiindeelnik polirie, aby se snad nekdo,,nedomnival, ze kriZuje mestem pohrebni prnvod. Stejne nekteri delnici zastavovali praci nekali klobouky. Asi tem mestskkm totikrim, kteri rids doprevazeli.

Prohlidka v Taylor lrvala lakrlca.dve hodiny. KaZdk z vkboru Mal si sve poznanaky, nakresy, trochu neco podobneho jako jednoduche mapy. Za hodinu pote byl sedmialenny vybor jiz v jinem meste, v radnici mesta Smithville, kde zase kava, pak prohlidka onech mist, ktere Smithville a jeho obeane nabizeli pro budouci domov. Prohlidka opet trvala asi hodinu a pill, kterd byla akonCelia hostinou na brehu reky Colorado ve stinu kog atkch du.bil. A aby nam obyvatele Smithville dokazali, ze vedle tekouci reka je dobrkm mistem na rybareni, hostin g byla 'a real fish fry," same chutrie sinaZene ryby bez kosti. Prk tricetiliberni ryby kosti nemaji. eekaly nas je gte dve dafgi prohlidky, jedna v Hallettsville, druha v T a Grange.

Do Hallettsville jsme dojeli pied patou.

Zbytek dne byl ztraven prohlidkou mist, ktere mesto Hallettsville ,nun. nabizelo.

Bratr F. K. Bueek a novinar pan Vladimir Malec byli na gimi pritvodeimi kroMe nekolika mual od mistni Obchodni komory a z banky. Nebylo lze ureiti piedem, kdy do Hallettsville prijedenie, proto jsme Zadali tamej gi obearay, aby nedelali pripra.vy, ze na.e nav gteva bude rani eiste inspekenlho. Prohledli jsme dy e vkhodna ml: a na strane jihozdpadni a jedno rnisto na strane sevend. Dophaili jsme si ay e zaznamy riakresy , a pred samkm veeerem jell jsme do La Grange.

Obchodni komora mesta La Grange Cekala na nds s bohatou veeeri a zdarma ubytovanim v turistickerm motelu. V

Ve stredu 17. lijna 1956 sedm rano meli jsme spoleenou snidani s eleny Obchodni komory, pak jsme jell na &Ai prohlidku. Nabidnut nam byl celY mestskY park i se stromovim, a take kterekoliv ze tri dal gich mist. Celkem jsme meli rozhodnouti, ktery z devatenacti nabizenych pozemkti, nalezajicich se ye etytech mestech, byl by pro Domov nejyYhodnejgi.

Ai kdyi jsem jel po v gech tech prohlidkach dome, ptipamatoval jsem si sytij sen. Bylo v tom hodne veci spoleenYch. Hlavne to dobra pove.st na gi SPJST. Sarni se musime piieiniti, abychom si sve dobre jmeno nepokazili. Vgude nam vytev-tene tikali, ze si nail podpfune, bravelice ptateLsky vsttic, v gude nam otrske a lidske prate vabi. V Taylor nam pripomenuli, ze povabuji tamnej gi tad Praha eislo 29 za mnohem vice neZ jen za spolek pojigt'ujici, spige za dillelitou vlobku do nfestskeho a obeanskeho Zivota. Ve Smithville nam priponmeli, ze tad Osveta v nedaleke Osade Kova' je v oeich obyvateld mesta jeden z nejlepgich spolku v okruhu mesta, zrovna tak dfflebitY jako kterYkoliv jiny mestskY klub pro vgeobecne dobro obeanti. V Hallettsville pripomneli mistni rad Karel Hay'leek 'eislo 4, kterY rovneb ma eistY representaeni zvuk. Jen v La Grange se omlouvali, 'be mistni lad Cecho-Mora-, van eislo 106 upada, misto aby vyrnstal, ale to pry je tim, ze mnozi eleni tam usazeni path k sousednim Maim. Je pravda, ze 19 elena v koleloce Jednoty je slaba ukazka spolkove einnosti. Vgude, kam jsme prisli, nagli jsme porozumeni a uznani pro ty zasady, ktere SPJST ma ye svem gtitu.

Mnohdy dobra my'Slenka se pomalu jima. Tak tomu je i s myslenkou Domova. Nebyla to Zadna ohromujici vagina, ktera, myglenku Domova ye sjezdu vyhrala. Bylo jich hodne, kteti meli phimo od domacich naporueeno, aby pro nic takoveho jako jelna nehlasovali. Jak asi by se citili ti, kteti kreili rameny a abraceli se zady, kdyb by s vYborem byli Taylor, ' Smithville, Hallettsville a La Grange? To snad by museji miti nekolik sail, be jedou nekam za polovieni listek, jen z to nahody, ze jsou eleny SPJ ST. Doufejme, ze nekteri nail eleni, ktenebyli a dosud nejsou pro Domov, procitnou nekdy pozdeji a teprve budou miti radost.

Obracim se na vas, kteti soudite, jsme na dobre a spravne ceste, abyste praei. Je vYboru pomohli v jeho nas jen sedm. 2achiSr z nas nemame badne zkugenosti s vyjimkou bratra gablatory, ktery jednu Utulnu jib pomohl postavit a poznal rtizne svizele s tim spo-

V2STNIK— WEST, TEXAS jene. My ostatni jdeme do v geho jako Cloy& se zavazanyma °Mina, jen davame pozor, abychom do neeeho nenarazili. Mame chut'. 1VIame odvahu. Ale to nevi vie. Musime miti take nejake porady od druhych, kteri o veci ptemY gleji. Vyhledati misto byl pomerne Ukol snadnY. Kdy=ii ma elovek zaznamy, kdyi sam sobe zodpovi tadu otazek, kdyb spooita vgechny vYhody a odpoeita v gechny nevYhody, vysledek se ukale na papire. Postaviti budovu, kdyi jsou penize a kdyZ je schopny architekt, nebude Zadne umeni. Co vbak zptisobi vYboru hodne hlavy bude vypracovani nutnYch pravidel pro vedeni domova. A kdyZ i to bude vypracovano, ptijde dal gi tebky kol, aby byl vyhledan a najat schopnY spravce, kterY by na g Domov vedl. JinYmi slovy, milbeme miti viechno zatizene dle nejnoveNch a modernich zptisobti, piece jednim z hlavnich bodil vYboru bude aby se vYbor postaral o schopny a zodpovednY personal, kterY by s chuti a laskou venoval kaZdemu dedeeku a kabde babiece it Dornove individuelni 1)(36. Bez vlidne obsluhy ani palac nebude domovem.

Kdyby se rune tines nekdo ptal, jak se povede na g Domov, nernohl bych mu na mnohe otazky odpovedet. Neni to jeite vgechno promy gleno. Vime, be Domov bude samostatna., bez yYdeledna korporace, do ktere budou ptijimani neeleni.

Ale elenilm musi se dati ptednost. Do jakeho stupne piljdeme v prijimani neOlent? Budou to jinonapadovci, kteti nemajj nikoho ze sve rodiny it Jednoty?

Nebo budou to jen nail lide, jejichZ den patri do SPJST? Nejakou hranici musime si ureiti. Pokyny tech, kdo se o Domov zajimaji, budou od vYboru s pavdekem uvaZeny. Rozepi gte se o tomto bodu, podejte sve nahledy, prispejte svYmi nazory a myglenkami. Je to na g spoleenY podnik.

A treba bylo ye sjezdu usneseno, ie SPJST Domov bude samostatnYm podnikem, piece bude to nab podnik, o kterem bude jednano v kabdem budoucim sjezdu. Ne snad do takove miry, jako kd-37z se jednalo o jeho zalo2eni, ale aspori prijde nejaka celkova zprava, aby delegati mobil miti prehled, co se vykonalo, co se planuje, a jak vie pokraduje. Domnivain se, be vSichni nail eleni prikYvnou, kdyZ zde reknu, abyehom si to zakidili takovYm zptisobem, by Domov nikdy nepte gel do rukou cizich, ale byl vbdy veden eleny SPJST. Ptijde tedy otazka, jake budeme miti teditele v budoucnosti, jak budou zda museji bYti eleny SPJST, jak se budou sttidati, jak 'east°, aby veci staly na jednom mrtvem stupni, a take aby nebyly zavadeny raclikalni zmeny,

Strana 3 Prijde otazka, zda nebyl y by radno, aby nekterY firednik Hlavni Uradovny byl zvolen do reclitelstva Domova. Dal'gi otazka bude, jakYm zpillsobein nahradi se uprazdnene misto nektereho reditele Domcva. Bude to ponechano Hlavni &adovne? Bude to povinnost maji reditele semi si vybrati nekoho bez ohledu na okrsky?

VOmi bude otazka financovani Domova a naklad spojeny s obsluhou a opatrovanim tech, kdo budou hosty v Domove. Na sjezdu bylo oznameno, ze vydrbovani domova je odhadovano na $65.00 raisiene na osohu. My nulbeme miti pet osob, ktere to budou mod.' platit, kdeZto ge.sta bude odkazina na milost druhYch. V jednom domove na severti naiel jsem, ze na kaZdYclf deset lidi bylo lest, kteti neirohli 'pletit a pouze etyri poladovanY obnos platili. Ubytovani jedne osoby v onom domove stalo Toni $93.00. Na severu je v ge o dobrou poiovinu clraZgl, Ktlyi otevbeme nab Domov—a stale budu opakovati, ze to bude nab Domov, SPJST Domov_rniusime miti jistou reservu pro yydr2ovani a pokraeovani. Hotovost by mela Witt tak robtdeitana, aby byla dostateena zaloha ab stavba bude dokoneena a vie zarizeno. Ptal jsem se jinde, jak to maji zavedeno, kdyz kapsa zaeina byt i prazdna. Nekde maji it bra-. trskern nebo sesterskem spolku zylagtni finanoni vYbor, kterY stale premY gli a planuje, jak dopiniti pokladnu. V jednom statu dostavaji statni pomoc na ty, kteri jsou v domove a nemaji vlastnich prostredka. Bylo mi reeeno, be stat je vdeenY bratrskemu spolku za poitaveni a vedeni domova lep gim 7. 9111,-f)ilem a pro stat lacineji net by si to sf mob! dovolit. V jinem miste lame reditel vysvetloval, Ze poplatek je ureen hned phi v.stupu do domova, a ze smlouvu podepibe nejen ten, kdo je prijatY, ale take jeho deti noise jeji pribuzni. Toto je pouze main ukazka, ze eekaji na nas innoho problemy, na ktere mobna ten :-sedmielenny vYbcr sam nestaei. Lee je to nab spolanY podnik pro spoleene ruec.

Vial bych si, aby ygichni eleni SPJST, kteri man zajem na zdarilem vedeni nageho noveho lidunailneho podniku, yza.li na vodomi, be musime vsein nabim blechetnYm UnlyslUm dati ureitou formu. JinYmi slovy, manic penize na po-' staveni Domova. Nabli jsme pro Domov vYhodne misto. Stavitel ma plany vypracovany. Ted' vYbor musi miti dobrozdani 61entl, aby do regulaci nepri glo neco ,nad eim by eleni pozcleji kroutili nespokojene hiavou. Pomorte premYblet, a to takovYm zpUbobem, jako byste novali pro sveho vlastnilio bratra, pro sestru, pro sami sebe,

JedinY Vojtech List a jeho rodina chybela.

"Pig nam, kde se usadi g a jak se ti bude dafiti !— Mohan. , Ze za tebou prijedeme taky. — "Pamatuj, Ze s bolesti budeme odekavati zpravy od tebe!" Tak a podobne znelo to na rozloudenou ze vgech stran.

Objimani a libani, plat a vzlykot ZenskYch nebraly konce.

Jegte jednou rozhledl se Jaromir KruSina kolem po bYvalem svem hospodarstvi a dlouho, dlouho tkvel zrak jeho v tu stranu, kde stalo obydli bYvaleho, ach tak draheho pfitele Vojtecha LisYho jegte jednou podal ruku svYm pratelam jednomu po druhem, pak, zvolal tlesouchn se site, a ysak vzdor tomu pevnYm hlasem: "Ku predu, hO gi! Na zdar pfatele!"

Bide zapraskaly, povozy se hnuly a Jaromir Kru gina vedl rodinu svoji nova budoucnosti vstric.

Uplynuly dva roky. Je to kratka doba pro toho, kdo Zije v gtesti a radovankach nekoneene dlouha ale pro toho, kdo trpi, at' ji.Z telesne, nebo dugevne. Na male vyvY genine stoji velkY ahlednY dam a ve vzdalenosti ani dvou set kroka velka stodola, srub a prostorne staje pro kone a detnY dobytek.

Oni tusili ptedobre, Ze za ma.lo roka krajina to poseta bude bezdetnYmi farmami, ze pilne ruce evropskYch vystehovalca jednotvarne tyto a smutne prerie promeni v jedinou zahradu a raj a Ze pada, kterou tak lacino byli zakoupill vystoupi v tend desateronasolme.

Schylovalo se k vederu a cold vakoli rozsahle farmy. podobajici se velkemu statku, oZiveno pojednou vracejicim stadem doW tka, fehotem koni a hluenYm volanim mu211.

Ze staveni vystoupila divka s vedrem v ruce a spechala k nedaleke studni pro vodu. Hopkovala si po ,testa vesele a zpevnY jeji hlasek rozlehal se krajinou. Pohlednemeli do etverackeho oblideje, poznavarne, ze je to Klarka nejmlad gi deera Jaromira Kru giny. Jak ale zmenila se divka ta, za dva kratke roky. Nejen, Ze povyrostla o cele tri palce ale dela postava jeji stala se pinej gi, okrouhlejgi a ladnej gi. Z patn.actileteho decka, vyvinula se sedmnactileta panna — z poupatka skvostna.

Prozpevujic, pristoupla divka k studni, spustila kov a kdyZ tento se napinil, jala se vytahovati jej vzharu. V tom okamkni ale pustila jej s vYkrikem nebot' dy e silne pate ji objaly, nad rameny vynotila se kaderava hlava mlacleho mule a ona pocitila na rtech ZhavY polibek.

Jako blesk vyvinula statno, divka z objeti a odhodic drzdho atoenika od sebe, uskodila stranou.

"Ha, ha ,ha,! To jsem to pfekvapil, Klarinko, vid'? Ci snad jsem to polekal?"

Divka poznajic mladika zasmala se radostne a tvate jeji se zardely.

"Ah, to jsi ty, Jill? Ano, pfekvapils nine, ale nepolekal Na ginec se tak hned nclekne," dodala s hrdosti. "Vim dobte, Ze nam ubliliti neodvaZi se tak lehce nikdo, vecla ze sku genosti, Ze moji bratli splatili by to okamZite a Ze s otcem mYm neni radno 'Zertovati."

"Ma g pravdu, draha, tval otec je muZ velice prisnY a odvaZnY. Rad bych vedel, prod je stale tak zamlklY a smutnY. Po cele ty dva roky, co jej znam, totiZ od doby va geho ptichodu do Nebrasky, videl jsem, aby jednou zasmal se srdedne. Neni na vas prilig prisnYm?"

Hned po prichodu tohoto stars' Jiri Sudik ke Kru ginovi a byl mu p11 osazovani se v prvnich podateich napomocriou radou i skutkem. Syn jeho Jiti zahotel laskou ku Klarce p11 prvnim spatfeni a laska tato nalezla vfeleho ohlasu v srdci divky Rychla tato znamost nelibila se site Kru ginovi, seznav ale bodrost, podestnost a placovitost jakoZ i vYbornY karakter mladeho nenamital proti dal gi znamosti, ano i zasnoubeni mladYch lidi nideho.

Ze rodina byla chuda a zadala farmatiti s velkYm dluhem, to mu nevadilo. V dobach tehdej gich sotva jeden z tisice zapodal s vetgim kapitalem a zcela samostatne a piece v nekolika malo letech vetgina jich se hmotne povznesli a se osamostatnili. Vtom ohledu byl Krugina pfilig zkugenYm a veal, Ze statky pozernske cla.ji se nabYti ztratiti a. Ze od nich nezavisi vZcly blab() a gtdsti.

Jiri jenZ, pro bodrou svoji povahu zaby ziskal si lasku v gech elentl rodiny, jiZ od pal roku povaZovan za snoubence Klarky a pfichod jeho na farmu byl vZdy pro v gechny radostnou udalosti.

"Bud' vitan, hocho !" pravila tato srdeene. "je to jid hocine diouho, co nebyl jsi a vas."

"Pro mne cola veenost! Po celYch etrmixt dni — moll jsme praci • se sklizni a myni, kdyd jsme jid skoro hotovi, rekl jsem tatinkovi, de nemohu to dello vycirdeti a muslin podivati se, co vy zde del ate."

"Na nas tedy piisel jsi se podivati?

Nu, to je hezke od tebe. Skoda. de Klarka neni doma, to by mela z toho radost," dodala pani Veronika s SibalskYm Usmevem.

"Oh, s too byl jsem jid u studne!" proPekl se mladik.

"Tak?" opOeila pani Veronika dertovne. "I ty Selmo jeden! Jiste, de jsi na ni zase eihal a piekvapii ji, jak obyeejne!

Ale kde nechal jsi kone?"

–fen je ji g ve staji a ma se dobre.

AvSak, nernYlim-li se, prichazeji prave va'Si a musim jim trochu pomoci."

Po tech slovech vybohl ven a spechal ku stajim, kde rozvinul se divot velice pestrY. Cele stado s tuene pastvy vracejiciho se dobytka tlaello se v prostornem dvoru a kadclY kus hledel dostati se co nejdrive na obvykle misto ye svem oddeleni.

Jiti uvitan byl mladymi Krusmovci s jasotern a za jeho prispeni zahy zaopatfen dobytek i kone pici i vody. Vgichni spoleene pak odebrali se do staveni, kde se umyli a ptevlekli.

Tehdej'Si zakopnici civilisace vyznamenavali se nejen neobmezenou pohostinnosti, nYbrd i vernou ptichylnosti k tomu, koho uznavali za hodna sve dtivery a sve sympatie. Osadnici drdeli dohromady jako skala a Cech byl by dal divot za sveho krajana. Bylo jich v jihovYchodni Nebrasce tehdy ov gem poiidku.

Jednim z nejobetavei gich v ohledu tom osvedeil se Jiti Sudik.

Nejstw si jeho syn zamiloval se do Klarky, tato opet zamilovala si statneho jinocha a laska obou tegila rodiee cboustranne.

Prvni zimu ptedila rodina Kru giny talcted pod zemi. Bylo to obydli ov gem velmi tesne, jelikod ale mnoho rukou na nem pracovalo, piece poinerne dosti pohodlne. Vzdor tomu vg ak byl tu pobyt krug nY a pant Veronika easto postondvala. Zima byla, jako obyeejne v Nobrasce, krutd, a jedna snehova boute sledovala druhou.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THE SUBJECT OF THE FOLLOWING -,ruphs could be "What your local Ion do to help the SPJST Rest Maybe you have not yet thought deeply about that subject. Neither until recently. For one thing, placed on the committee that is sip.; ,Jsed to study every angle of it. ,,,)1:11 1 g the assignment, I knew next to nothing about the homes for the but I was willing to learn. I went av , - public library. I visited the unitC library. I wrote to the state vi au, :y, about such homes. The results w d r, appointing in every case. * * III J1 ATTENDING THE NATIONAL Tiail Congress in Cleveland, I one speaker to make this state• ' We can serve ourselves by servir'_ uthers. We should serve children the youth clubs. We should .dult members through the fra• t 1 activities. We should serve our o members by providing for them hartheir advance age, homes for cl." Later, after the lecture, I aed the speaker. Information on tj. nou J es for the old members was th ;,Ting I was looking for, I told him.

Het,irlf2rmed me that there as yet are no,4a.,ndards or definite basic principles to „pi*, my society in establishing our howey.for the old members, and that we have to pick the pattern piecemeal, something here, something there, something of our own. It is left up to us to work . out our own plan. * 114 ThE PUBLIC LIBRARY I FOUND a `natibnal directory of homes for the aged. It is very much out of date. For eXarriple, it gives the names, the locations of about twenty such homes in Texasbut none of those that had been brtilt,-in the last fifteen years. It tells the: important details of sponsorship, eligibility requirements, such as church connection or fraternal membership, and it also tells how much money a person must have in be admitted, if he qualifies otherwise. * * * AtTER READING ALL THE AVAILable literature, and after comparing all

the information I obtained, I was more confused than enlightened. One good thing came out of this search. I came to realize that the key to our problem lies in the clarification of function that we wish to accomplish. Or, to put it bluntly, we must first know what we want to do with our SPJST Rest Home.

Or, to put it still more plainly, no matter how good our Rest Home may be, it will not be for every old SPJST member, because it will be inadequate or even injurious to some members who should not be there. And that is where we have to be planning this Home together, get a clear understanding what we wish this Home to be, and work for the success of it as a team. *

band or wife apply for admission, or the eligibility based on physical and mental health or special conditions, such as blindness or deafness, or some other physical handicap. All of these things must be worked out and unq,erstood by all of us who are interested in our future Rest Home.

THERE WAS SOME CRITICISM THAT the 17th convention permitted the adoption of the clause that no member of the SPJST shall have any contractual right to be admitted in the Rest Home.

But it should be understood that all applications should be handled "on individual basis, recognizing the psychological importance and the meaning of this to each applicant. The Home should have the right to select such guests and residents for wham the Home can give the most useful service. The individual needs and attitudes must in every case be taken into consideration.

Special understanding and additional information are needed in those cases where the applicant cannot decide for himself, or where such decision is limited.

LIFE GOES ON IN 'QUITE A DIFferent manner than it did some fifty or even some thirty years ago. It may be important to know that the demand for homes for the older people is mounting steadily, with more and more older people asking for admission daily. Homes of that type are gradually changing to be real homes, and not institutions. The residents in them are personalities, not merely charitable cases. We don't dump the older people in the homes as we may dispose of the "surplus" of our farm AS HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONproducts. We must not have the "why bother" attitude. We should be spurred ed, there is no definite pattern which those seven men who are to place the to united action in our own interest. entire project in operation can imitate * * or follow. It is a project on which all EACH OF US MUST LEARN TO LOOK of us must work' together. We will have at our later years, about our own future. to ask questions.

"No doubt there will be many more," Condra said.

VASTNIK—WEST,TEXAB Also with the site committee this morning were Bernard Dahlberg, Houston architect, and Reuben Lesikar of Temple, president of the area SPJST Lodge. Mr. Dahlberg said plans have already been drawn for the proposed home.

Several wives of the committeemen also made the trip.

Introductions Mr. Condra introduced the seven state

Wednesday, October 17, 1956 committeemen and also these local people whom he said had worked hard in an effort to get the rest home located here: Ed Kovar, Roman Bartosh, Wilson Fox, W. C. Stern, R. E. Kollman, F. R. Cromwell, J. E. Moore, Rev. F. D. Svoboda, John Griffith, Carlos Parker, Lin Mills, Lee Goodman, Pete Schier, and a group of ladies from the local SPJST Lodge.

SPJST REST HOME IN TAYLOR The Taylor Daily Press, in its Sunday issue of October 7th, informed the readers about the location of the SPJST PieA, Home with a striking, attention commanding headline: "Taylor is Chosen as Site For $125,000 SPJST Rest Home," with a subheading that enlighitened the readers that the "Committee Vote Is Almost Unanimous."

Fiore is what Editor Mills of the Tay, lor Daily Press reported to his readers: Committee Vote Is "Almost Unanimous" The SPJST ret, home for the aged will be located in Taylor! It will cost an estit-lolled $125,000 to $150,000 and will contain approximately 40 rooms.

Paul Sablatura of Louise, Texas, cluin man of the State SPJST site committee, informed Lee Goodman Jr., manager of the Taylor Chamber of commerce, of the good news in a long distance telephone call Saturday after,rioon at 2:35.

"We couldn't turn you fellows: down the way you rolled out the red carpet for us," Mr. Sablatura told the C of C iitoinger. He was referring, of course, to the big "Taylor-type" welcome the sevenman committee received her Friday morning, when they were taken on a tour of eight proposed sites. About 50 Taylorites representing the C of C and the local SPJST Lodge turned out to greet the commMeemen.

On First Vote Mr. Goodman called Mr. Sablatura at Ilk- home in Louise, Texas, to get the good news. Mr. Sablatura had just returned home from a secret meeting of the committee in LaGrange, He told Mr. Goodman the committee decided to loecate, the home in Taylor on the first vote taken, which was "practically unanimous."

The proposed locations had been narrowed down to four cities—Taylor, La Grange, Smithville, and Hallettsville.

Comments Ray Condra, chairman of the Chainbereof Commerce's community relations committee who also headed the C of C committee work Mg for the SPJST rest

home, said, "This is wonderful. We are deeply grateful to all of the people in Taylor who helped make it possible. It is ratifying to see a community in action."

J. E. Moore, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said he "was glad to see community spirit develop up to the point where we could get the SPJST home.

Mr. Sabiatura's statement that 'we couldn't turn you fellows down the way you rolled out the red carpet for us' is certainly indicative of a positive community spirit, This really tickles me."

Ed Kovar, chairman of the local SPJ ST committee, said, "I am very pleased that the home will be located here. We worked awfully hard and it paid off."

Said Mr. Goodman, "We feel after the construction is completed and the home is occupied that everycne in Taylor will certainly apprecia'x it and realize the value of it. Thanks to everybody for working on the project."

Expected Soon Judge Henry Schovajsa of La Grange, a member of the sevenman site committee, is expected in Taylor the first part of the week to make it legal," as Mr. Goodies" termed L. Exact site of the h,,..,e Ti be announced later. Eight diffetoni sites have been under consideration. Taylor will furnish the site.

Other members of the site committee who looked over the eight proposed locations in Taylor are Stephen Valcik of Houston, H. W. Marchak of Kenedy, Otto Stehlik of Wichita Falls, Charles. Navratil of Temple, and Frank Laznovsky of Ennis.

Interview In an interview with one of the committeemen by long distance Saturday afternoon. The Press learned the followin g preliminary plans for the home: Several set.s of plans are to be drawn up by a Houton architect for submission to the SPJST. The first set of plans were only preliminary and the site conmmittee suggested that another set, of plans be prepared. These will be gone into very shortly.

Meantime, arrangements will be made to get the Taylor site deeded to the Taylor Chamber of Commerce and later to the SPJST home. The land must tirst be deeded to the C of C because the SPJST has not quite completed its charter to operate a non-profit insttution (the rest home).

Brick Or Stone The committee is thinking • about building the home of brick, although stone is also being considered. The architect will suggest what he thinks will be in keeping with local arelTite6ure.

Construction will get underway this year on the single-story building, which will have a spread of about 120 to 150 feet. Some sign of activity will be seen within a month. The SPJST committee will meet with the architect not later than two weeks from now to go over the new plans, which will be rushed as much as possible.

Air Conditioned The rest home will be air conditioned throughout, to provide the maximum comfort for the older people through the year.

The home itself will accommodate at least 42 guests, containing both double and single rooms, There are no restrictions so far on who may live in the home. Every ease will be considered separately, however, on its own merits, but residents are not restricted to SPJ ST cases only.

The committee has not gone into charges. However, it is estimated the cost will be $65 to $75 a month for residents.

About 1 employee for each eight guests will be hire to operate the home.

That would mean live or six employees for 42 residents. )• It takes the wool of 20 sheep to clothe a U. S. soldier — and the hides of ten taxpayers — Charles A. Knouse. * U s e the talents you possess, for the woods woula be very silent if no birds sang except the best.

REPORTS FROM DISTRICTS NOTES OF THE DISTRICT THREE MEETING OF SEPT. 30, 1956 Meeting came to order at 10:40 a. m. at the Sokol Hall in Dallas with Lodge No. 130 as hosts with President Otto Hanus presiding. Brother Jurcik, Presiden of Lodge No. 130 welcomed the members in Czech to the meeting.

Brother M. Parma, of the Dallas Sokol welcomed the members and friends in English saying among other things that the Sokol is an organization for building strong bodies and the SPJST is an organization for selling insurance and wished us, as a district and individually, much success.

Pledges of allegiance to the flag was given by Brother Arnold Vrla and repeated by all present.

President Otto Hanus greeted the members and friends in Czech and said among other things that he wants each one to have his or her say and hopes that the meeting will be conducted in peace and harmony. He asked for a minute of silence in memory of our deceased Brother Walter Hejl. May his soul rest in peace.

Minutes of the previous meeting were read' and approved.

Vice president Joe Juran made a short speech concerning the two contests, saying how disappointing the results were and that we would have to get behind it and give the Youth more interest so it would have better results.

Secretary Rose Parma said she too, was disappointed in the results and hoped the outcome would be much better next time.

Brother Arnold Vrla, our treasurer, said we had a balance of $454.41 and after he collected $123 from the Lodges! and paid up some bills, we now have $561.06. Fifteen lodges paid their dues and six didn't.

Secretary read out the Lodges by number and we had 10 lodges represented and 11 not present. There were 12 organizers present.

Brother Ed Marek, president of Supreme Lodge sent his regrets since he couldn't be present as he was going to the golden wedding celebration of Brother and Sister Ignac Senkyrik of El Campo, one of our best workers. But he sent Brother Joe Hejny, our new vice president to be, to take his place to express his best wishes and greetings.

Brother Hejny talked in Czech and said we were falling down on the job of selling insurance, that we only had 37 new members in August and that isn't

enough. He said that maybe the small towns couldn't do better, but larger cities like Dallas and Fort Worth should do much better. He said maybe the vacation time had something to do with it and that whatever the reason, he knows we could and must do better.

When he takes over his new job of vice president the first of the year he is going to expect more from the organizers and he intends to have a school for them so they will be prepared to answer all questions so that prospective mienthers Would have confidence in them. That distrust didn't do the SPJST any good. This is a short resume of hi well spoken speech.

We re- olved to send a telegram of congratulations to Brother and Sister Ignac Senkyrik.

President Hanus thanked Brother Hejny for his speech and asked the members to co-operate with Brother Ilejny to get a lot of new members.

Brother Chupick, secretary of Supreme Lodge talked in Czech saying that he too wanted to go to that golden wedding celebration, but thought it was his duty to come here with us. He agreed with Brother Hejny's idea about the school for organizers and said we should give Brother Hejny plenty of time to get things rolling and that maybe even two years would be needed before we see good results from the plan. He thanked us for the invitation to be present at our meeting and his speech was a very goad one.

Brother Robert Cervenka, director of District Three suggested that Brother Navratil talked to us first Brother Na-1 vratil said he also wanted to go to the I wedding celebration but decided to keep Brother Chupick company and come with himr. He liked Brother Hejny's talk too and stressed that if we talk and write in a friendly manner it would help the SPJST and that we aren't doing ourselves any good when we publish undesirable letters and articles. He hoped the districts would continue to work for the good of all.

both hands to get ahead. That our convention did a great job and that soon the home for the aged would be built.

He visited several homes for old people up North and was surprised at how large and well equipped they were and how well the Czech lodges did for their old folks and he was well pleased.

Brother Valcik's talk was very informative.

Our new editor to be, L. O. Hosek, talked in Czech too, saying how he regretted the disagreements among us and said it was our duty to work in harmony and moderation to help our SPJST best that way. and thanked our officers: Brother Hrabina said he realized how much work was involved in having a district rreeting and that he would help as needed and hls talk was very good.

Brother Kacir had a very good speech and amon g other things said he has been working for the Order for 30 years and that he would continue to do so He is glad that we now have a state or-. ganizer and that we should help Brother Hejny wherever we can. He said every body couldn't sell insurance that an expert was needed and we have that in Brother Hejny. He said our meeting was a good thing and urged that each one have his say here while we are together and not criticize in the papers later and io always act brotherly. His speech was well worth listening too.

Brother Cervenka talked about the contest and showed us the beautiful figurine our young member, Dorothy Matus from Lodge 66. She was 15 years old at the time she made the figurine.

He also said our District wrote up 168 new members and thanked all that he was re-elected director again and urged us to strainghten out our troubles among ourselves rather than air them in print.

Brother Hrabina talked about the hobby contest and said he thought we should extend the contest further until the next district meeting in March.

He said that probably school begining in September had something to do with the poor showing and president Hanus agreed with Brother Hrabina about exBrother Skrabanek, director of Dis- tending the time. trict Five, said he came with his wife to enjoy himself and among other Brother Steiner suggested that we give things he wished us everything good. the children that entered this contest His talk was in Czech. the prizes so they wouldn't be disapBrother Valcik said he went to the pointed and Brothers Cervenka and HoBrotherhood Congress and that there sek agreed with Brother Steiner. were a lot of delegates and when he Brother Kacir said to consider that we heard their reports it seem â– ed to him we need nonmembers as well as members in were going around in circles, like a this contest and he thought if thru the boat with just one oar. We need to use schools the children were asked to write

Wednesday,. October 17, 1956 essays on insurance and SPJST and believed we would, have more luck that way.

Brother Pokladnik said how glad he was to be vice president at the convention and how pleased he was to work with Brother George Kacir, who was president of the convention. His talk was very appropriate for the good of the Order and of each lodge.

Brother Hosek wrote out a sample of what would create interest in the contests. Brother Pokladnik, Brother Hosek and Brother Alyin Nesuda were appointed to judge the entries which would be awarded alter lunch, Meeting adjourned •at 12:30 for lunch which the ladies had ready. It was a delicious lunch and was enjoyed by all.

Many thanks to all the ladies who worked and served in the kitchen. By lunch time there was a good crowd present.

Meeting convened at 2 p.in. president Hanes thanked all the officers from the Third District and Lodge 130 and all the ladies that served the delicious lunch.

Brother Vrla read a verse titled "Prospect" on what the word means and it had some very good ideas.

Brother Hosek read out the names of prize winners and are: In Handcraft, first prize of $15, to Dorothy Mates; second prize $10, to Larry Laznovsky; third prize of . $5., to Billy Skrivanek; and fourth price of $2.50, to Kathy Jo Vtla.

In the essay contest, first prize of $15 was given to James J. Janousek on his letter. He is 15 years. old and had some very good ideas in the letter that Brother Hosek read to us. Brother Pokladnik said they organized a teenage group from 13 to 19 years in Lodge 84 in Dallas and honed that other Lodges would do the same'. Congratulations to all Motion was made and seconded that we pay the prize money as set and each one got , the:money in cash.

Brother Geo. Kacir had something psi his mind and he said it's best to settle things . Personally rather than to print letter: in the Vestnik. He said that he and Brother Pokladnik were proud of the Work done at the convention and if any ,mistakes were made they should have been brought out right then while the delegatesWere present. He didn't like the minutes of the Supreme Lodge as

they were printed in the Vestnik. This bronght on a debate in which these brothers had the floor in this order; Brothers Steiner, Cervenka, Skrabanek, Navratil, Chupick, Kacir and Sister Wilma Nesuda. Brother Hosek asked if Brother Kacir was satisfied with the explanation and that the following would be put in these minutes. It reads thus: "That no motion was given in the meeting of the Supreme Lodge that would accuse the chairman and vice chairman of the convention of wrong procedure in conducting the convention."

Brother Kacir was satisfied with the results.

Brothers Shelcak then brought up the letter published in the Vestnik which was written by Brother Stehlik and under the caption "European Complex" which Brother Shefcak said was an insult to our good older members and wanted something done about that.

Several members talked on the subject and they were: Brothers Bartek, Sister Horak, Brother Hosek, Brother Valcik, Brother Navratil. And it came to a motion made by Brother Schefcak that president Harms appoint a committee of 2 members to write a resolution and protest against that letter and these 3 members were appointed: Brothers Hosek, Hrabina and Shefeak and they composed a letter that BrotherHosek read to us and will be printed in the Vestnik.

Brother Vrla wanted something for the betterment of our district and some form of Youth program.

Brother Hejny said the Fifth District won the contest over the Third District in 1955 and we owe them a dinner and suggested we made plans for it. Three members were appointed to work it out and they were: Brothers Hrabina, Hejny and Pokladnik and they decided to have it in Ennis on October 28. Brother Hejny said one reason for the delay was because Brother Skrabanek had been so ill. Motion was made and seconded., that the banquet be paid out of the district funds and also that $102.50 be used as needed for the Youth program.

Brother Steiner expressed his regrets that their members didn't come to the golden jubilee of Lodge 66, but that was their meetin g day.

Brother Navratil extended an invitation to all members to come to the District Two meeting at Seaton Lodge 47 on October 21.

Brother Snapka had a good idea, that of getting a singing group organized so that we could sing at the meetin g s instead of arguing.

The nominating comaw tee is compassed of Brother Bartek as chairman and Brother Ben Jarma, Sister Wilma Nesuda, Brother Laznovsky, and Brother au-

The Czech Ex-Student's Association of Texas Dear Friends: The Texas Council Far Higher Education (Texasska Matice VySSiho Vzdelain) is, a student loan fund operated by the Czech Ex-Students' Association of 'Texas for the general purpose of assisting financially those capable and needy students of Czech descent who wish to be enrolled or who wish to continue their studies in institutions of higher learning.

This loan fund is available to qualified students whose parents may not be financially able to provide for the student's higher education in any approved business or professional school, college, or university. The money loaned to the student is not a gift but is a loan with a moderate rate of interest which must be repaid when the student receives his diploma or degree and begins earning on his own.

Since its establishment in 1917, this loan fund has helped many of our needy students to obtain higher education in the schools of their own choice and subsequently to take their proper places in the business and professional world. At the present time, loans are in effect to many students engaged in various studies at most of the major colleges and universities in Texas; and many loans have been or are being repaid by graduates.

During the last thirty years there has been a great increase in the number of our students preparing themselves through the A and M College as engi7neers, farmers, etc; in medical colleges and dental colleges; and in the various schools as ministers, scientists, school teachers, Army, Navy, and Air Force officers, public officials„ secretaries, etc. Annually many high school graduates fail to attend college for many reasons but primarily because their parents are not in a position to assist them financially through colleges of their choice.

Our organization does not demand that the borrowing students take any special courses. The student is given absolute freedom in the choice of his college and career.

After World War II, the "GI Bill' assb"tance to veterans,. and the generally prosperous conditions which prevailed caused very few student loans to be made each year. However, the expiration of this governmental aid and. tire less prosperous conditions of most persons at thisAime is causing an increase in the number of loan applications being received by qur association each year. More

student loans were made in the last six months than had been made in the previous ten years. Indications are that this trend will continue and that more money will be required for the loan fund inthe near future.

Also an important consideration ti'e increased cost of living and the other generally increased costs of attending college. In pre-war years ., students usually borrowed in amounts ranging from $25 to $75, but now they often bOX;'" row in sums of $200 to $500 or more„.t9 be spread out over their entire college carreer. With the prospect of a larger number of loans for larger amoifts,Jaf money, the need for increased ajnount4 of money for the loan fund is now NT/91'y real and soon may become urgent...

The Texas Council for Higher Educa7 tion has been supported by the several Czech organizations of Texas and.Hq various interested individuals and, ex7 students who realize the need for and the value of this loan fund; and we,are again asking each of you, ats, individua or as members of the Czech organizadons of Texas, to contribute to this fu0 to whatever extent you feel financially able.

We trust that you will help us to coal tinue the Czech tradition and our 111,0,± ral obligation of supporting higher edur cation for all with the result that rour youth will be better prepared to sera and represent the present and future generations of our people as Czechs, 'Texans, and Americans. Your contributions will help the needy students; and you can each help further on the local level by encouraging all the students of your acquaintance to make the most of their educational capabilities and opportunities.

Please send all contributions to 'MI% R. J. Bartosh, Treasurer; The Teih'S Council for Higher Education, Tay14+, Texas.

HOW TO ARGUE WITH YOUR WIFE Every time I attend a wedding ceremany and listen to the solemn vows taken by the bride and groom, I get a lump in my throat.

But, as every married man knows, as soon as the ceremony is over, you can begin, almost immediately, to get yourself involved in some unexpected contraversial situations in which there may be differences of opinion between you and your wife. And if an argument results, you ought to know how to protect yourself at all times and how to handle yourself in the clinches — if you are to enjoy the respect and the prestige that the head of a family should enjoy.

Aproaching the problem of family arguments from a scientific point of view, the first thing to do is to observe that all arguments can be divided into two groups: (1) those involving unimportant questions and (2) those involving important questions.

Let's take the unimportant questions first, because there are more of them and because they can result in the hottest arguments.

For instance, Jack 'and Helen had hardly been married two weeks. In fact, it was only the second. dinner she had prepared for him since they returned from their honeymoon.

Jack took one bite of Helen's meat loaf, screwed up his face and said, "Did you put green pepper in this?"

"Why — yes, darling," said Helen, somewhat surprised and hurt.

'Well, I hate green pepper! I thought you knew that!"

"Why — I never dreamed — look, Jack, let me pick out the green pepper for you."

"0 no . . . don't bother. The taste is through the meat. I'll just eat the rest of the dinner."

Helen kept silent as long as she could and then flared up. .`You are too fussy about what you eat anyway. Your sister even told me that!"

"Okay, so I'm fussy. I don't like green pepper! Next time leave it out, that's all! . . . What's for dessert?"

Whereupon Helen burst into tears and left the table.

Now, here's a typical situation involving a small matter that left Jack and Helen upset for several days. And when two people are upset about anything, they are perfect set-ups for getting upset about anything else.

Suppose Jack, on the other hand, had eaten a little of the meat loaf. It wouldn't have killed him. And suppose, a couple of days later, he said to Helen, "That meat loaf we had the other night

(By William; J. Reilly) was good, dear, but next time you make it, will you leave out the green pepper?

I never did like it much."

If Jack had used this "delayed response," there wouldn't have been any ar■ I gument. In fact, a "delayed response" is one of the first signs of intelligence. It avoids the tears. No married man can win against tears.

There are o many little things that start big family wars. One man I know, Larry M., could never sit down in the evening to read a book or study a report or look over the paper without his wife's, calling him to go on some errand or fix a leaky faucet or watch the baby.

The result: two or three arguments a week. Larry asked me if I had any ideas on stopping these brawls. I suggested that they avoid the arguments by dividing up the evenings. Some would be `his evenings" when he could do what he wanted, within reason. Other evenings he would arrange to fix things around the house and make himself generally available. Larry tells me that he and Jane rarely argue now.

Moving on to more important questions, I have found that nearly every married couple, sooner or later, get into a king-size hassle about money and how it should be spent.

One husband, looking over his checking account on the first of the month, jumped to the conclusion that his wife was getting extravagant and careless with his money, and he didn't waste any time telling her so. "We used to get along nicely on $400 a month," he barked. "Now we hardly seem to be able to get by on $600!

After the smoke of battle had cleared away and both of them had said a lot of nasty things they didn't mean, which left his wife in a sobbing spell, he found himself defeated and considerably embarrassed. He had: overlooked some obvious facts — that two more children had been born in the family since the time when they were able "to get along nicely on $400," that the three other childern had grown up some, and that the cost of living had risen.

He could easily have avoided a nasty quarrel if, instead of expressing a hasty opinion, he had dug out the facts first and then sat down with his wife and discussed ways and means of cutting their expenses.

Even husbands and wives who have a budget and a common agreement on how their money should be spent sometimes get into an argument on how to

spend the vacation money.

For instance, a neighbor bald me last summer, "This'll be our first real vacation in five years and my wife and I are having a hell of a time. All we've done so far is argue. I want to go to the mountains and fish and she wants to go to the shore."

"Well, you don't always have to do one thing or the other," I reminded him.

"Sometimes you can do both."

And that's exactly what they wound up doing. They went to the mountains for a week and they went to the shore for a week.

I could go on with a lot of other cases, but no matter what comes up, ttiere are really only three things to remember if you want to Avin, any kind of argument with your wife.

First, get into the habit of distinguishing between what's important and what isn't. This alone will help to eliminate a lot of petty arguments that make mountains out of molehills. For it's easy to give in to anyone — even your wife — when you realize that the whole matter doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

Second, hold your fire. Before you start to argue with your wife about anything, get all the facts together so that you knoW what you're both talking about.

People don't argue about facts.

Third, give a little. If you give a little, your wife will give a little. And the first thing you know, you'll both be more agreeable and there's just nothing you can do about it.

4, • ( 1TOW MUCH FAT CAN ONE SAFELY EAT? In 1954, government estimates calculated that the average American ate 145 grams of fat daily -- about 11 tablespoonsful. This is much too much, according to Dr. Norman Joliffe. Dr. Jolliffe, and several other experts in the field, have caluculated that 100 grains of fat per day (8 tablespoonfuls) might be the upper limit for the average person without danger of developing fatty degenerative heart disease. Seventy-five grams (6 tablespoonfuls) per day would be a safe level from the preventive viewpoint. Low-fat diets, such as President Eisenhower was advised to follow after his heart attack, limit the daily fat intake to approximately 4 tablespoonfuls — or 50 grams. )* •( Knowledge is awareness of the fact that fire will burn; wisdom is remembrance of the blister,

Has ever before a country in mankind's history furnished so profusely for its people educational advantages, industrial opportunities, so many homeS, so many recreational places, so many of science's means for entertaining, stimulating, educating us all?

Something always brings it back to mind.

To be sure, we have laws. They are the laws made by our elected officials for the benefit of all of us. They are the laws which protect all of us from those things and those acts which might jeopardize our safety and our lives.

Byly o neco menu ne2 nynejai zlate dvacetidolary. Roku - 1866 jsme je dali za farmu a od to cloby jsem takovYch pellet neviciel.

Kdyt se chtel pozdeji vypraviti zase s bavinou do Brownsvillu, prijel k nam na farmu odvodni trednik z La Grange a pta se otce jak je star. Tata byl tak polekan, ze nemohl ani odpovedet, ale matka neztratila duchapritomnost a pravi: "padesat let." "Dobra, John musi zitra do La Grange, ja vyhotovim affidavit. Ten musi pied notarem podepsat.

Bride to stat 50 cent&' Ostatni ja spravim." Ale matka nechtela otce pustit a vyala za Utednikem ven a prosila ho, aby otce nebral na vojnu. Ph torn mu poloZila - na koleno, jak sedel na koni, jeden ten zlatY aestnactidelar. On to nejprve nechtel vzit, ale pak ho piece zastreil do kapsy a ujistil matku, de se nit otci nestane, jen aby byl druhy dne rano v 8 hodin u notate Chas. Sehutze v Raters-ville. To bylo jen tri etvrti mile ,od nas.

'Tot otec tam .jel a dostal vojensky pas jako poverenY vozie baviny. Vratil se at v podzimu, kdyt ud bylo po valce a pri(vez1 $200 v sa,mYch zlatych dvacetidolarech, pytel kavy, neco aatstva a jine potteby, ktere zde nebylo moan tehdy ani za penize koupiti. Pa valce z vojny rozpuateni jinni vojaci utvorili lupieske bandy prepadavali, loupili, ba i vratdili formally, kdyd se vraceli s periezi za bavinu od mexickYch branic. Ale otec dvoupalcovYrn, nebozezem udelal diru do voje, tarn vlotil zlate penize, ucpal a diru -zamazal, de to nebylo znat a tak je privet' at'astne domu. Ovaem, te jezdilo vddy vice formanti pohromade, nejrnelie 10, ale co to bylo vaechno platne, kdyt lupiei byli lepe vyzbrojeni a ye strelbe vycvieeni.
