POVZBUZEN! YL JSEM PO2ADAN, ABYCH verejnil ve Vestniku aspori hlavni body sveho proslovu, kterY jsem nifel pri slavnosti Metal() trvani spolkove sine radu Hvezda Texasu Cislo 47 v Seaton. Hlavni noel slavnosti byl ziskati penize, ktere by byly radein venovany na Domov odpoeinku. Vyhovuji pkani a uvekejriuji sva slova tenkrat pronesena, lee pouze eeskon Cast.

Sestry, bratri a pratele: Pokladam si to za vyznamenani, ge jsem byl pozvan, abych promluvil k vain pki 'Leto yYznamne slavnosti. Nevim, prof jste si vybrali zrovna nine, kdy g mate celou radu jinych reenikti, kteki by si tohoto vyznamenani podebne va gili. Ale kdyg jig ten los pall na nine, mohu se priznati, ge pokagde okkeji mezi vami. Main ye vagem radu Hvezda Texasu celou radu do-i brYch a uptimnych pratel. Vite vy, co znarnena slovo pritel? Kdosi polo gil tuteg, otdzku presidentu Abrahamu Lincolnovi. "Pkitel? Pritel? To je elevek, ktery ma, stejne nepkatele jako ja."

Led nemluvme o nepratelich. Oslovil jsern vas "bratti a pratele." Citim se mezi svynii, mezi ota,,eli. A kdybych vas mel vyjmenovat, musel bych zaeit s bratrem Janem Hurtou, bratrem E. J. Hejlein star g im, bratrem J. J. Mikeskou, bratrem Kalendou, pak bych musel prejit na mlad gi bratry Hejlovy, bratry Dariovy, bratr 8panhela mladgiho, a na tucet jinYch bratrd. Kvuli domacimu miru a souladu se dnes vas, mile sestry nedotYkarn. To udelam aZ nekdy jindy, as mangelka ma, nebude se mnou.

Jsem rad mezi vami. A jak jsem kdesi jednou rekl, kdybych pro nejakou prieinu nemohl bYti Menem radu Pokrok Houtonu, pak by mne bylo teak° vybirat •mezi radem Praha eislo 29 V Taylor a kadem HV' ezda Texasu 'eislo 47 v Seaton. A kdyg bych ptigel s ptestup-

ni listinou mezi vas. moana Ze by se 0pakovalo toteg, co se prihodila, kdyg jsem gadal o ptestoupeni k radii Pokrok Houstonu. Pri gel jsem do jejich schUze a prines1 jsem listinu s sebou. Rad si vyrizuji sve veci osobne. Predseda ye schnzi ozriarnil, ge tam mail nav gtevnika. Vyzval nine, abych pron.-110H. PMvedlo nine to z rovnovahy. Reveal jsem v torn okanagiku, jak bych to :gikovne rekl, ge jsem prines1 prestupni listinu a ge claci bYti, elenem onoho radu. Zaeal jsem to Vg elijak okolkovat. Asi po dvouminutovem rivodu preru gil nine bratr Rulik: "Tak se, bratte Valeiku, pkiznej, ge chce g mezi nas a my ti beze v gech cavikti kekneme, ge to vitame a,e jsme radi, ge jsi k nam prig el." A prove dnes se citim, kdybych dnes prigel mezi vas s pkestupni listinou, a:si byste na to male dbali, jake pomluvy se o nas, houstonskYch, nedavno girily. A treba jsem jednim a toho "gang" v Houstonu, rekli byste asi neco podobneho, jako to rekl bratr Rulik, dnes ji g na pravde bogi.

Oeekavate, ge k yam promluyrin o yYznamu dne gni slavnosti, totit o' padesatiletem postaveni teto sine. V torn smeru budete zklamani. Je to hezke vzpominati, co jsme progili, jak to bylo pied padesati lety, pied dvaceti peti, nebo itteba jen pied deseti lety. Ale osobne nenavyknul jsem si, abych se dival do minulosti. TO bych musel, jak rikame, obratit se zady k budoucnosti. A to elovek, kterY chce giti a bYt ug iteenY, nema delat. Predstavuji si Zivot lids'kY jako nejakY kruh. Dokud jsme mladi, pini nacleje, hledime pied sebe. A g kdyg ciChne, ze jsme sviij rikol bud' provedli nebo propasli, zaeiname tie dive, a premYglet, jak mei° bYt. To u g kruh givotni drahy se pomalu doplriuje. Vidime zretelneji to, co bylo na zaeatku .2ivotinho kruhu, to mladi, ty vzpominky zaeateeni.

Pak vraceji se nam na mysl veci, o ktere

jsme celou radu let ve svYch vzpominkeen ani nezavadili. Vracime se dc( sveho mladi. Vracime se, odkud jsm& vy§11.

Kruh givota se pomalu uzavira. A tomuto myg lenkovemu postupu se dosud branim. Nechci jeli9C hledet pozpatku, ale dopredu.

Chceme-li v gak zhodnotit a .spravne ocenit praci na gich 'pionYrti, musime se vratit do minulosti aspori na okamZik. VetSina tech na§ich pionkra pocit'ovala, ge museji miti nejake stredislso VAude, kde Ho vice eeskYch rodin. Ptinesli si ti stafi osadnici z Evropy ten navyk, chteli se jednou za 'eas sejiti a v ptatelskern hovoru pobaviti, vylo gitti si site strasti a sve zkngenosti, vymeniti sve náhledy, pookkati v sousedke rozmluve, aby zase bylo o eem premY glet no tYden, na, dva, na celY .rnesic.

Tak se zakladaly na ge spolkove sine. Ony byly stkediskem. narodniho givota nejen pro Ceske tatinky a maminky, ale ph taneenich zabavacla take dostaveniekem pro hochy a deveata. A jak rime bratr Kalenda prozradil, byla tra prove r.ato sin radu Hvezda Texasu, kde potkal a poznal svou druZku 'Zivota. Vgude, kde se v •sade vybudovala, spolkova„ ipistnost, tam se tea budovala, lepU nilada a pratelstvi mezi osadniky a sousedy.

Ale ani dnes nepozbyly sine na svem 1,,Yznari- u a sve dulelitosti. Jako ti starsi hledali nejaka stiediska k svemu sousedskemu rozhovoru a pobayen), rovrieZ tak dne§ni mladeZ musi nejaka, sva, stkediska. A to je vec naramne dillelita. To je ct,-azka, kterou bychurn meli uznati za tak chilelitou jako pied etyriceti nebo padesati lety jsme Odell nutnost a potrebu staveti sine pro tehdejgi Dne§ni °slava je vlastne meznikem, jako to bratr Kalenda napsal ve Vestni-

Bratr John Blinka, tajemnik pateho okrska, g ado., abych v myth redakenich sloupcich upozornil, ze schnze patieho okrsku bude konana 4. listopadu v sins radu Pokrok Houstonu. Schtize zaene o desate rano, aby dale gite veci mohly bYti vyrizeny pied obedem. 0 etvrte hotline zaene divadlo. Celodenni vYtegek bude ye prospech Domova. Z to prieiny bude opravdu chvalyhodne, aby co ne, j -vicezdstupl,gahvnicfrednika a nav glevnika se dostavilo do teto schaze.

Jednott psi prohlidee onech jedenacti set akra, ktere Jednota, vlastni poblig Smithville, byl brats Vaclav Barina nagim pravocleim. Kdy g jsme se u g do nnavy vygpacirovali, oznamoval nam, ‘ge, nos jegte zavecle k jeskyni zvane "Daddy Longlegs CaVe."Pri ostre zataece poto-1 ka, ktery- 1,v1 tenkrat apine vyschlY, nagli jsme ye striae, kamenne one yellkou dire, kde by snad padesat lidi )mohlo nali)/ti clostateenou ochranu pied degtenr. Strop a s•eny jeskyne zdaly se bYti pokryty tinavVin. skoro 'oernYm mechem. Pri blizsi prohlidce poznali jsme, ze to nebyl mech., nYbrg zvla gtni druh pavouka, maleho tela a neobyeejne dlouhYch nohou, lnnyz vgeobecne nazYvanY "daddy longlegs." Bylo jich tam tatisice, sna g miliony. Kdosi prohodil, ze museji bYti dobre zorganisovani a ze museji znati sve stanovy nagpamet, kdyg vedi, kcly maji prijit do schaze. Bratr Batina poznamenal, ge to asi bude spoleena schtze nekolika distrikta. Ovgem nikd'o z nas nedovedl vysvetlit tento zvlagtni tkaz, prde takove ohromne mnog'stvi pavoukti se sehazi do jednoho naista. tell jsem o jiue jeskyni, ktera se naleza hluboko pod zemi a je osvetlena svatojanskYmi muskami. Chodba do one jeskyne vede earokrasnYmi krapnikovYini dtvary, po.stavenYmi nekde jako pavlaee, jinde jako nebo jako klenba s visutYnn lustry, ad se navgtevnik octne ve `sluji svetlu gek."

Meli bychom se zamyslit, zdali vgechna to liknavost a neV gintavost V nail spolkove Cinnesd nevi zavinena prove tim, ze jsme v geho nasyceni ba dokonce presyceni.

Bez price nejsou koldee, je Poved'. Bez prace nevi ani spolkoveho g iVota a zajmu. Bez planovdni nit se nevystavi. A jestli dues si pochvalujeme, ze mame'dobrou a prosperujici Jednotu, je to jedine vYsledkern planovani, dodavani jeden druhemu vice ebuti a odvahy. jako ty svetlu gky, musime si Casto sami svitit, abychom dosa.bli nejakeho vysleciku.

Ale kdy g koneene prekoname to vrozenou liknavost a docilirne neeeho, radi se pripojime k tern druabYchom pornohli j.111 tleSkat. Jen-

Ve sttedu 24. iijna 1956 ze vezme nam to dlouho, ne2 se rozkYvame.

Jen tak mimochodem vzpomerime si, jak dlouho nam to vzalo, neZ jsme se rozhodli miti vlastni domov. Bylo to nekdy pled enniskym sjezdem, kdy jsem napsal fivahu, ze nate Jednota by mela vylezti ze sve kolebky. Byl jsem rebelantern. Vzalo to pinYch dvacet lett, neZ se inytlenka ujala. A jette po dvaceti letech, kdy se otazka rozhodovala ye sjezdu v Houstonu hiasovanim, byla to nepatrna vettina, ktera Jednotu z kolebky vyklopila, aby se pro jeji dalti vzriist natio vetti mesto. Dnes jsme spokojeni takkka vtichni, dobrYch clever:, a devadesat procent. Dries s pYchou rozesilame pohlednice a chceme se pochlubit, jak domov mane. A jegte pied dtytmi lety vjeli jsme si pro tuteZ vec do vlastl.

Nebo vezmeme si otazku okrskii a vzpomenme si na vkchny ty Atiplave poznamky o `staveni plotu mezi bratry," 'o "politickYch manevrech," o "rozdelovani Jednoty na sedm men gich." Dnes vidime, to zavedeni okrskti byla Ita nejzdravejSi mySlenka, aby eleni se yzajemne co nejlepe poznali ye syYch nahledech, aspiracich a snaha.dh pro dobro celku.

Pornoci okrskovYch schrizi oZivuje vela Jednota. Neni to Zadny prerijni polar, vYPacla to spite jako hrstka 'svatojanskYch mukk svetelkujicich v pti geti, ale to jemna zate se roz§ifuje a pomalu r3ste. Pomoci okrskt dostali jsme napted sedm, teditelu. Pak jsme dostali sedm jejich nahradnikt, ad je gte pied sjezdem detli jsme doporudeni, ze neni tteba zabihat tak daleko, ze to mute pracovat "po starem". Pomoci okrskil zvolili jsme sedm dlerra do stanovniho vyboru. Pomoci okrskii bylo vybrano sedm mun do vyboru na postaveni Domova odpodinku.

Pomoci okrskil dostaneme po Novem roce okrskove organisatory. Pomoci okrsku budou programy mladee, na ktere okrsky dostanou nejmene sto padesat dolard ze spoleenYch Uspor. Pomoci okrsku zavedeny byly organisadni soute2e, ktere se nadherne vydatily. Pornoci okrskft zavedeny budou dalti chvalitebne veci, ktere dosud dtimaji v hlavach Pomoci okrsku kdosi kdesi chat', spolkovY hlad, zableskne se mu v hlave nova mySlenka, posviti druhYm, a kdyZ jedna syleka druhou rozsviti, svieka na cene neztrati, zato ptibude vice svetla.

DetskY odbor take bude v budouenosti postaven na pevnejSi zaklad jen pomoci okrskti. Dosud to mame jen na knihach —ten hoch nebo to device maji detskY certifikat, a jak jim dojde gestnact let, ptirazi se jim na poplatcich pro tadove vydani, ale jinak budou miti stale detskY certifikat. Jednou to bude zmeneno.

To se stone, at v okrskovYcla schazich,

V ES T N ILK — WEST. TEXAS at' ut je to v prvnim, clruhern nebo sedmem okrsku, zaane se o tornto nepotadnem potadku rokovati. A zase to vezme hodne debal y, net se zakoteni a Wale nalada, net se zde a onde rozsviti, ze mohlo by to bYti praktietejSi. Vkchny spolkove veci ujimaji se naramne pomalu. V roku 1929 zavedli jsme detske pojitteni, jen na pet set. Trvalo nam to asi etrnact let net jsme se vZili do mytlenky, to bychom sve deti mohli miti pojiAtene v trade "J-T" na celV tisic. A zase nam Ito vzalo daltich etrnact let net jsme se rozhodli vyplaceti piny tisic pojitteni pa tri a pill letech misto at po trinacti letech. Meli jsme detskou tridu "J-C" jit dlouhou du let, ale teprve v poslednim sjezdu sestra Ivlilanova a jeji organisaeni vybor prosadil opravu inurradiho pojitteni 'Leto trade. Neni tech svatojanskYch mutek dostateenY poeet, aby bylo na -vtechno zretelne videt. Nerd dosti chuti -bladu — do veci spolkovYch. A prave tyto okrskove schnze dodavaji vide chuti, vice svetla.

Nebo sledujme zpilsob, jakSrrn jsme chteli zleptiti naborovou, organisaeni, einnost. Na podzim v roku 1929 zavedli jsme organisCtory a ureili jejich °dineny. Tyto odmeny jsou dosud v platnosti. AZ do roku 1944 jsme posilali organisatory s poplacanim po zadech: "Mame dobre pojitteni, tady mat knaku, tady mat Zadosti, tak mutes a Upinou chiverou nate pojitteni prodavat a nabizet."

V roce 1944 •sjezd uznal, ze tak to nepujde, to bude treba ustanoviti jednoho Urednika, aby "tit() teZkou praci vedl, jak za nejlepti uzna." 0 etyri roky pozdeji sjezd uznal, kdyZ to netlo s kem, snad to pajde se statnim organisatorem. 0 osm roku pozdeji opakovalo se toteZ. AZ letos, po dvanacti letech, kdyZ sjezd zvolil noveho mistoptedsedu, mame nadeji, ze organisadni vedeni dostane se na spravne koleje. Pomalu, naramne pomalu, naramne pomalu tine se dopkedu spolkova einnost. Dvacet let do plestehovani lftadovny, teftnact let prava okrskfi, dvacet sedm let ke kontrole mistnich organisatoril, etrnact let za zleptenim detskYch pojistek — a bilhvi kolik jette let net dojde na zreorganisovani detskeho odboru.

Main radost, le aspon v jedne veci jsme tak loudavYmi, v otazce Utulny.

Ale to ut ma svou ptieinu, to se za myMenku ittulny postavili eleni starAiho veku, kteti ztetelne citi, to at se odeberou na yeenost, nic uz neprosadi. A tech dnu, kdy zadne veenost, je na male. Nekdy to zubata neeeka. Ptichazi dtive net se nadame. A prave proto, ze u innoheho z nas: se zeterha, zaeali jsme svitit jasneji, intensivneji. A drteli jsme sve

A pointiZe take, to, ze vac nebude projednavana zdlouhavot spolkoy ou cestou, ale pled sedrnielennY vybor, kde je mane debaty a vide. dohody. To dokazuje, ze chcete-li pokraeovati rychleji kuptedu, rozdelte spolkovou praci rrezi vybory. A zaroveri urdete dos, kdy vybor ma miti svou praci dokoneenou.

Sjezd rekl, to prace vyboru pro Domov ma bYti hotova do dvanacti Are etvrtek minuleho tYdne byla dalSi porada s hlavnim architektem Houstonu. Frostudovany byly ptedlolene plany, porovnay se pravidla a poZOdayky, joke jsou kladeny odl:;a.tniho zdravotniho odboru a jinYch statnich organn i a usneseno bylo, to se vypracuji vtechny/nakresy k ptedloZoni a schvaleni od 'statnich Mezitira byl potadan tad Praha dish 29 o vypomoc, vlastne o dobrovolniky; kteti by slouZili na stavebnim vyboru.

Hozvltili jsme americkou veiejnost do takove miry, jakou jsme nikdy nebeekavali. Snad Zadne usneseni sjezdu v Temple neprineslo tak z yuenou ozvenu jako nat Domov cdpoeinku.

DOPISY A NAHLEDY C ENL P •ijecl'te na divadlo v Houstonu Otenari: Jestli jste to prehledli v minulem eisle Vestniku, tak znovu upozornuji, Ze ochotnici dramatickeho krouZku Hlahol sehraji v nedeli 4. listopadu velrni peknou a Zertovnou veselohru, ktera nese jmeno "Sestrenku si nesmiS vzit."

Jak vite, ochotnici od radu Pokrok lioustonu si vZdy daji na torn zaleZet, aby sehrali kaZdY kus pekne. A kdyZ si k tomu ptimyslite, Ze reliserem je bratr Valeik, redaktor Vestniku, kterY herctim pH zkonSkach Zadnou chybu nepromine, tak mdZete bYti jisti, Ze divadlo se bude libit kahlemu.

Na tu samou nedeli ptipada take schtize pateho okrsku. A aby to nedopadlo, jak kdyZ se sehralo posledni divadlo v Houstone a rad Needville mel slavnost pri otevirani sine, tentokrate bude okrskova schtze i divadlo ye stejne mistnosti. Schtize bude dopoledne a po obede a nak divadlo zaene ptesne ye etyti hodiny. Doslechnul jsem, Ze eistY vYteZek z obecla, z veeete a take z divadla, tedy za celY den, pdide ve prospech SPJST Domova.

Vstupne na divadlo bude 90 cent& VYbor pry to chtel udelat, aby vstupne bylo celY dolar, aby se na dobrY deel vice vybralo, ale kdosi prisel na to, Ze vladni dan ze vstupenek do 90 centil se nepoCita. Kdyby to bylo dolar, tak by stejne muselo se odevzdati 10 procent dame. Tak to bude jenom 90 centil. Ale myslim si, Ze by vYbor u pokladny mohl mitt vedle nejakou plechovku nebo "fruit jar" do ktere by ten, kdo by chtel, mohl ty drobne penize vhodit jako darek. Z dobrovolnYch prispevkd na dobrY deel se clan neplati.

Tak se tegime, ze prijde hodne na y -kevnidorschtzeaZSio tak doma zatidi, aby mohli zustati take na divadlo. V deset rano zaene schtze, pak bude dobrY °bed, gulas, klobasy, smalena kutata, pak se dokonei schtize, jestli co bude k projednavani, a po odpoledni ptestavce zaene muj vlastni pas o sesttenku, kterou pry si nesmim vzit. Podrobnosti najdete v oznamce na jinem miste tohoto eisla.

et, ktere ovSem ani nemusirn jmenovati proti tomtit° vyboru byla mezi sjezdem v Houstonu a Temple velice Uporna a bezohledna. JiZ pa celou radu let so jisti einitYlkove zasazovali odstraniti eta1ST TiskovY vYbor, prost •ednictvim kritiky statnich dohli0itelu, kteti po nekolik prohlidek, vZdy ovkm na podnet jistYch zajemcd, poukazovali na to, Ze mame v Jednot y "dvoji r4,izeni", jak oni to jmenovali.

Oposice Tiskoveho vyboru "od sjezdu do sjezdu" dobte agitovala a priznivci Tiskoveho vyboru teto agitaci nikterak neeelili. — a oposice byla tak jista svoji \Teel, Ze hnala volb y o Zivotu nebo smrti Tiskoveho vyboru jeSte neZli jsme se k tomu mobil dostati pri projednavani pripadnYch elankti ve stanovach, to jest 63-4-5-6. Tim byla vyvolana Ziva deba ta, na ktere se podilelo clevatenact (19) delegatti, a2 ten posledni bra tr KruS'insky z Corpus Christi, podal navrh na zruSeni toho vyboru.

Proti tomuto jednani se vSak ozval bratr Frank Rod, poukazuje na to, Ze jedname o stanovach, a.niZ bychom eekali na zpravu a doporueeni vyboru na opravu stanov. Predseda bratr George E. Kabez otaleni ntedloZil protest bratra Roda sjezdu a asi jen proto, Ze sjezd uZ vic jak pal hodiny easu teto zaleZitosti venoval, hlasoval pokraeovati volbou. Jest to velice pote:Sitelne, Ze delegati nam velikou vetSinou heed zachovaiii svobodu tisku; hloisovani vyznelo — 12,978 hlasti proti zruSeni Tiskoveho vyboru a jenom 4.970 pro zruSeni.

Tato zalelitost byla projednavana v UterY, pozde odpoledne, -- as tak hodinu pied odroeenim zaseclani. Ale, Ze osud Tiskoveho vyboru nebyl jeSte rozhodne projednan, se brzy ukazala. Oposice Tiskoveho vyboru zdvojnasobila sve usili v praci proti tomuto vyboru, pamatujice, Ze nam predleha je:Ste doporueeni vyboru na opravu stanov, obsaZene. v jejich navrhu na zmenu el-anku 63 ve kterem doporueovali, aby TiskovY vYbor byl dan pod dozor elenti Hlavni Uradovny. A Ze to "prace" proti Tiskovemu beru byla dobra, dokazuje voleni na toto doporueeni vyboru na opravu stanov, aby TiskovY vYbor byl dan pod tvrdY palec Hlavni Uradovny, dokazuje vYsledek hlasove.ni o tomto doporueeni.

Odndrci Tiskoveho vyboru melt od dDallas 19, Texas, 10. rijna 1956 tery odpoledne do patku odpoledne na jejich agitaci. Hlasovani o doportteeni Sestry a Bratti!

Jedna zalditost, ktera byla velice Stanovniho vyboru byla provedeno a.Z v bylo jednani o Zivote neb smrti patek odpoledne, od 6:45 do 7:05 -- kdy Tiskoveho VYboru. Agitate jistYch zajem- vYsledek-volby byl ohlaSen a byl vzhle-

dem k vYsledku volby o trvani neb z1ueni Tiskoveho vyboru prekvapujici. -Kde Zivot tohoto vYboru byl zachranan v pomeru dvou proti jednomu hlasu pro vybor, toto hlasovani vyznelo skoro v tom. samem pomeru proti svobode Tiskoveho vyboru a redaktora. Pravim skoro, protoZe protivniktim toho vyboru schazelo necelYch jedenact set hlasii aby ciostali potrebne dve tretiny hlasu Svoboda tisku zachranena podrune.

A zde marne dobrou moralku ovSem beznadejnou. Kdyby byli ti protivnici redaktora a Tiskoveho vyboru tak houZevnate pracovali pro tu Utulnu a jine. Jednote pottebne zmeny pro pokroit Jednoty .jakou bychom to meli tilas budfci Jednotu, co?

0 jednani sjezdu ye stredu dopoledne main tuto poznamku na mem opisu protokolu toho dopoledne: "Ve stredu dopoledne bylo ticho". Aekoliv byly projednavany dosti dUlelite elanky, to jest 21 a 24, ku kterYm byly podany navrhy na celY novY elanek 21 a dodatek ku 24, a pkijaty, nebylo o nich nijakYph debat, adkoliv novY elanek 21 ustanovuje, proti vrhu Vyboru na opravu stanov, Ze kaZdY okrsek voli jednoho Mena a jednoho nahradnika do vyboru na oorayu stanov (a Cia.nek veSel v platnost.shied, take voleni Monti a nahradnikti do tohoto ditleliteho vyboru bylo provedeno hned V tomto sjezdu).

Ve stredu odpoledne ale bylo dosti projednavani vYboroveho naVrtal na olanek 30. VYbor na stanovy dopo-, rueoval do elanku 30-a provisi, Wr6 by dale Hlavni dradovne pravo najrnoAti dalSi pravniky, s dohodou pravniho rdc17 ce, zvoleneho sjezdem. Dosud jsem `nemohl najiti, kdo as tento ,7s;lamotiriSk§ nacrh stanovnimu vyboru pocbl. Vim rircite, Ze ten navrh nebyl pied scnum ni, druhou nebo treti, vyboru na opravu stanov ve Vestniku podan, az najednou se ten prilepek. objevil v tiverejnenYeb. navrhach po druhe schtizi vYboru.,..

Ten dodatek as byl podan tim samYm zajemceni jako najmuti tech dodateenYch prayniku, ale nasledkem yypuSteni tohoto dodatku ke elanku 30-a — najrnuti dodateanYch pravnika, musel ten doclutch ke elanku 46, ustanovujici pro ne plat,,,bYti samoeinne vy5krtnut.

Ve.etvrtek clopoledne jsme ineli jednu pozoruhodnou debate, kterou tak heed nezapomenu. Bylo to jednani o Upine novem elanku 41, povinnosti mistopredsedy Hlavni aradovny. Tento novY Clanek, nahraZujici ones podan' vYborem.,,na opravu stanov, byl nmou podan ve,stredu odpoledne, vSak nasledkem nedostatku easu ku projednani byl pred sedou bratrern Geo. E. Kacirem odloten do dopoledniho zasedani y e etvrtek.

Ale stanovni vYbor ye stredu mel eer- schfizi, a ve etvrtek dopoledne prote mail k navrhnuti opravenY elanek 41 . Po preeteni jejich noveho nal/1Thu se rozvinula stran, tech dvou clanku — za ktere reditel Chas. Holasek podal navrh, aby z toho meho navrim na Clanek 41 byla vySkrtnuta yeta, ktera potadovala, ze mistopredseda musi miti zkuSenost v proda.vani bratrskeho pdjiAteni a Skoleni v tomto.

Posledni k temuto navrhu mluvil bratr Rudolf Troubil od radu eislo 56 — a rekl jeriom as toto: "Bratre predsedo, sestry a bratri, ja jsern, jak tomu v eechach rikame s odpuStenim Svec. Jest to obyeejnc.: •emeslo, ale ja jsem se to musel Olt tri roky. A vy zde chcete vySkrtnout 0patreni, ktere potaduje Skoleni v to nejdfiletitejSi a pro pokrok a vzrtist Jednoty nejpotrebnejSi agitaci? Jak toto tete srovnati se spravnYm nsudkem?"

Netrvalo to dlouho a po teto debate jsme • meli zase jednu pozoruhodnou letitost, ktera, byla vyvolana naYm dodatkern ku elanku 43, povinnosti pokladnika Hlavni i:Iradovny. Tento dodatek daval-tomuto firedniku za povinnost vyinahani itrokil a splatek na bondy. Nemyslel jsem, ze proti tomuto dodatku bude vubec nejaka, namitka, proto jsem byl velice prekvapen, kdyt tajernnik Hlavni Uradovny proti tomu mluvil. At do te _chvile jsern myslel, ze tu praci dela pokladnik a proto jsem to povatoval za debre dati mu to jaksi "Aredne". Z reei tajemnika jsern ale heed ze zaeatku vystihnul, ze tu praci dela on.

Sam o sobe nemluvil Jaroslav mnoho, a ze byl povY gen aZ na Sikovatele, dozvedeli se pratele jeho z dopisu krajant.

Jaromir Krugina a Lena jeho nespali to nod, ani hodinu a Milu ge probdela celou. °pet uplynuly etyri mesice. Na farme Jaromira KruSiny delo se v ge podle ustaleneho jiZ poradku. 2eri byla hojna toho roku a chov dobytka i prasat byl St'astnY, jelikoZ nemoce neradily mezi nimi tak, jako v letech predeglYch. Vge dYchalo gtestim a radosti a zdalo se, ze 1 v domacnosti usadily se spokojenost a blaho. Dopisy z Wisconsinu phchazely pravidelne kaZdY mesic a jelikoZ skoro vgechny byly prizniveho obsahu, pusobily velice na utigeni mysle vkch, ktefl tak Zive Udasti brali na osudech svYch milYch.

Tu iednoho dne ptiklusal do dvora na upocenem koni jezdec s telegramem.

Udive.ne rozhliZela se kolem, jakoby nechapala, co se s ni stalo, nahle ale iny glenka jako blesk kmitla ji hlavou a chopivSi otce za ruce, tazala se s chvatem: "Je to pravda, tatieku muj, ze meho Jaroslava neni vice — ze byl zabit v ukrutnem torn boji?"

"Ne, ne. milaoku muj, tak zie to neni.

Telegram pravi, ze je pouzc poranen — snad jen slabe."

Milage vyskoaila.

"Ty mile chce g kiamnou nadeji jen ukolebati, °tee . Oh, ja t otu gila, ja predzvidala, 2e pro mile neni Zadneho Atesti vice na svete!" zoufale zvolala "Vzpamatuj se dite a eti sama," domlouval Krugina.

Novou naden ozivena, chopila se divka telegramu a detla.

"Dostal jsem telegram z bojiSte u Boonsboru. Jaroslav te2ce poranen. Chee videt Milugi. Otec Jaroslava odjikli dues do Boonsboro.

Vaclav Sokol.

Dvakrate, desetkrate detla Milu ge telegram, pak vzdychla z hluboka a vrhla se otci na, prsa, vzlYkajic: "Nevi tedy mrtev. Je ale na sinrt zranen a chce mne videti. Oh, je-li zachrana moZna, pak ja jej jiste zachranim!

Jen rychle, tatieku muj, jen rychle konej pripravy k rnernu odjezdu."

"Ale dite — snad bys nechtela?"

"Chce g abych nezemfela u tvYch no hou. pak nebran mi vice!" zvolala Miluge divoce a tahla otce z jizby. "Mitj Jaroslav zapasi se smrti a volt mne k sobe a ty chceS, abych se jeSte rozpakovala? Zaprisandin te, otce, pri tvoji 16,sec k nam, abys nebranil mi v torn, co poeiti chci a musim, nebot' jedna se tu ne o me blaho a gtesti, ale o jeho Zivot. co to znamena?"

Krugina znal dobre svoji dceru a yedel, Ze kaklY dal gi odpor je nemo'ZnY. "NuZe, bud'si!" pravil. "Nebudu ti braniti, avgak sama nepojede g . Svolam okamZite v gechny eleny rodiny a ueinime limed potrebne pripravy. Pojd'!"

A v kaalYin pripadu ra,znY a rozhodnY KruSina vzal dceru za ruku a se gel s ni dolfi do spoleone jizby. Nebylo tu jegte nikoho, nebot' Klarka zalevala kvetiny v zahrade a pani Veronika ode gla se sna chow svoji jiZ pied hodinou k blizkemu poll, kde Jaromir vyoraval zemeata.

"Ja bych svolal lidi na ge zvoncem," pravil otec k dceti, "ale marne bysrne je polekall. Proto doskoe ty pro Jaromira a jeho Zenu a sdel jim v ge. 1VIaminka je u nich a prijde fined tet. Klarka je v za-

Za chvili na to panovalo v celem staveni velka, ano zinanKma einnost. Pani Veronika pribehla domit celd, spocena, a znajic jiZ rozhodnuti sveho chote, dinila pripravy k ceste bez narku a slzi.

Ze Milusi se na ceste nic neninZe stati, vedela dobre, nebot' na Jarcnnra mohla spolehnouti se se wire. Byl ioudrY, rozvaZnY a spolehlivY jako otec a take Ileohrolenost a duchapritomnost svoji ukazal eastokrate. Pod jeho ochranu byla 1\,liluge bezpeena jak pod ochranou otce a pani Veronika byla v chledu tom Upine bez starosti. Chovala- li nejakYsh ()ba y , bylo to jen z priein dalske jizdy, aby Miluse se neunavila a rczeilenim nu, ceste neonemocnela. Ku nejbli2Si stanici Zeleznieni bylo skoro padesal mil a odtud pak aZ do statu Virginia"'innohO, mnoho set mil no (haze. Bylo uzavreno, ze Jaromir s Milugi vyjedou lined za svitdni druheho dne, tak aby do poledne doraziti mohli do Lincolnu. David mel jeti s sebou, aby povoz zpet dopravil. Z Lincolnu mely pak byti zaslany telcgramy jak Jaroslavu, tak i inanZeli Jireny.

Za ruznych priprav a porad uplynul zbytek dne velmi rychle a-vsichni dnes drive neZli jindy odebrali se na V polni nemocnici V Boonsboro letelo mnoho ranenYch nebot' bitva u South Mountain, trvajici cele tri dni, byla velmi krvava. Zapodala 13. zari a teprve 16. v noel byli Jihane prinuceni i, Ustupu . V bitve to velice vyznamenaly se pluky wisconsinske, druh', testy a sedmY. Dvakrate vedl je chrabrY plukovnik Gibbon k Utoku skrze les a dvakrate byl Utak hrdinil tech odraZen s vclkou ztratou na mrtvYch a ranenYch. Od 2. pluku wisconsinskeho ranee byl podplukovnik Thomas S. Allen a od 6. pluku plukovnik Bragg. To vgak chrabre vojiny neodstrasilo — naopak draZdilo je to k vetAimu jeSte napnuti sil.

Tu na Aesti pfitomnST vrchni lekar Jonathan Letterman sam poskytl mu prvni pomoci a shledal, ze rana je taka, ad ne prim° suirtelna s nedial odvesti jej do Boonsboro, kde do-

Dojemne bylo prvni setkani se jeho s poranenYm a jedna z prvnich otazek tohoto byla: "Prijede MiluSe?" "Nevim, synu, nevim," odpovedel otec srnutne "Obavam se, Ze Jaromir na ani tu nepovoli."

"Oh, on bude muset. K tomu ja znam Milusi moji prilis dobre."

Kratka ta rozmluva vysilila poranenehoIne a vstoupivai lekar zapovedel rozhodne kaZde dalai slovo, prohlasil, Ze Jaroslav nachazi se na rozhrani mezi Zivotem a smrti.

Prohledal pak raneneho dodal: "Horeeka dostavi se bezpochyby jeSte dnes a pak teprve nastane ten pravY boj za Zivot. Divim se, kde syn vas bake tu Zivotni silu, jakou ukazuje a Zposud".

"MiluSe!" zaSeptal ranenY, usmivaje se blaZene. Predpoved' lekare se spinda. Horeeka se dostavila a Jaroslav po cele dny odloueen byl od sveta, nachazeje se v deliriu. Tak zastala jej MiluSe, kdy s bratrem dostavila se k jeho ltiZku a ihned pkevzala oaetrovani. Presvedeili jsme se jiZ, 2e MiluSe byla silne povahy.

Od odjezdu Jaromira a MiluSe uplynuly tri tYdny.

Odloueiti opet Milusi od Jaroslava, bylo by vice neZ ukrutnYm a ku jich spojeni opet nesmel dati sveho souhiasu, nechtel-li poruSiti svoji prisahu.

Jako oby'dejne prvni opet vzpamatoval se KruSina.

"Videli jste?" tazal se V zimnienim rozeileni.

"Ano, videli jsme, jak blesk spadl modre oblohy," zvolali vgichni.

KruSina zakryl si na chvili oblieej rukama, pak priskoeil k. Zene a objal ji ohniye, zvolal: "Ptiroda sama sprostila mne me prisahy! 0, Zeno moje deti mile, dnes jsem nejSt'astnejSim elovekem ye svete.

HrdY ten muZ byl nyni jako deck°. Objimal Zenu i deti a div, ze radosti nezaplakal. .

To trvalo dlouhou chvili a kdy mysli vA,Eich se utiSily, pravil: "NuZe, ty verna druZko meho Zivota, ktera tak radostne a s takou oddanosti sdilela jsi se mnou vaechnu slast' i vSechen bol Zivotni. nemysliS, abychom zitra za Usvitu vydali se na cestu do Wisconsinu a odtud do Boonsboro?

ATOMS IN YOUR I< TCHEN Forty years ago, during the World War One, the aeroplane was considered primarily a military weapon. Not much though': was given to its civilian use.

We have advanced to the atomic age.

In the minds of many, it means only destruction. But what about its peacetime use? What about irradiation?

Food irradiation has recently received a great deal of publicity, although actually at present we don't know too much about it. We think it has great promise; but like the chances on a blind date, we may be expecting more than we will get — or we may get much more than we expect.

Although certain aspects of food irradiation are unpredictable, one prediction can be made. You will feel some impact of atomic energy in your kitchens—and not too far in the future.

But before looking into that future, let ine give you a little history and define a few terms. Over 2,000 years ago the Greek philosopher, Democritus, claimed that all matter was made up of tiny particles. He called them a,toms, from the Greek word meaning "indivisible." He said an atom was about the size of a dust particle in a ray of sunshine.

This idea was not taken seriously until about the beginning of the 19th century. At that time it was reasonably well established that there were about 90 elements in nature and that each element was made up of its own particular kind of atoms, different from those of all other elements.

From 1850 to 1900, scientists tried to explore inside the atom. These attempts led to the belief that the atom, once thought to be the smallest particle, was itself made up of smaller parts held together by electrical attraction.

Niels Bohr, a Danish scientist, suggested in 1913 that an atom was like a miniature solar system, with electron planeits whirling around a nucleus sun.

The sv.ggestioir is now generally accepted, The solar system Bohr described is ultra-tiny. No one has ever seen an atom. If the cap of your fountain pen were enlarged a, billion times, it would he big enough to put the earth in it.

But if you enlarged an atom a billion times, you still couldn't see it.

And if you think an atom is small, imagine the size of the atom's nusleus.

It's 10,000 times smaller than the atom itself — like a raspberry in relation to the Grand Canyon. This nucleus is made up of two types of particles: Protons, which have a plus electrical charge, and

neutrons, with no electrical charge but which weigh about as much as the protons.

What does all this have to do with atoms in your kitchen? The answer is that from these atomic furnaces or reactors we get a material which may play an important part in the food industry.

Like any other fuel, an ash remains after the atom is split. But ash from an atomic powerplant has a property not, common to the ashes from other fuels. Atomic ashes are radioactive. Of prime importance is the fact that the radiation has bactericidal properties, which means it will kill bacteria, yeasts, and molds. Any food product can be completely sterilized by placing it in a field of redivition nad leaving it there for the proper length of time.

Meat, milk, fruits and vegetables, among other foods, have all been successfully sterilized by radiation. Sterilization can be carried out at any temperature from freezing to boiling. Obviously, however, if this method of processing food is to have any advantage from the standpoint of maintaining a garden-fresh texture and appearance of fruits and vegetables, the irradiation should be carried out at room temperature of lower.

Many millions of dollars are being spent right now by research people in gm eminent, education and industry to find answers to these and other importtant questions. Here's my speculation on the answers, for what it's worth.

Foods completely sterilized by irradiation will not be available to the public for some years, probably 8 to 10.

Even then, they will be specialty food products like dessert mixes, special meat products, complete dinners, and sandwiches.

Those foods completely sterilized by irradiation will not have to be kept in the refrigerator if they are properly packa'ed. You can see what this will mean to the armed forces alone while in the field: However, foods pasteurized or otherwise treated with small doses of irradiation will be merchandised under refrigeration just as pasteurized milk is now marketed.

There will be some advantages. Irradiation pao.eurized fruits, vegetables, and meats will stay fresh considerably longer, and losses due to spoilage will be reduced to a minimum. When irradiation sterilized foods, are taken from their containers they will, of course, be subject to spoilage just as with any garden-fresh vegetables or fruits. Like heat sterilization, radiation sterilization

is good only as long as the food is protected.

I might sound a bit too optimistic about irradiation processing and putting the atom to work in your kitchen. Burt it is really the potential that I see rather than the accomplished fact which makes me look at this new field through rose-colored glasses.

Before industry can make use of this process, scientists will have to obtain, interpret, and integrate the facts so that commercial application may become technically and economically feasible. We must curb our mania to get everything done yesterday and wait until indispensable researches haV run their proper course.

The challenge which faces us is formidable and the stakes are high. The atom which can blast us off the face of the earth is the same atom which can give us a new world. Whether we make use of this new knowledge as civilized adults or crude barbarians is the crux.

It's up to each one of us to see that the atoms for peace will be the atoms in your kitchen. )• • ADVICE An Indian was carving his canoe out of a log. A man said, "I think she's too wide." So the indian narrowed her down.

A little later another man said "It looks to me that the stern's a little too full."

So he cut down the stern., A third man advised, "The bow's too sheer." So 'the Indian changed the bow.

When the canoe was finished, the Indian launched it, but it capsized. He hauled it back on the beach, found another log and began again. Once more a man came along and offered advice.

This time the Indian answered, "That boat over there — that's everybody's boat," pointing to the monstrosity on the bank. "This one is Indian's boat!" ) 4, o A minister married a, wealthy couple and after the ceremony ,instead of the customary payment, was presented with a pair of yellow kid gloves. He accepted them graciously and upon returning home tucked them away in a drawer.

Years later, rummaging about, he came upon the gloves. Absent-mindedly, he tried one one—and discovered a $10 bill neatly folded in each finger! ) 4, Just heard of a guy who'd been unlucky all his life. Then one day things suddenly took a turn for the better.

Wednesday, October 24, 1956 These principles, too, are foundations of Americanism, They are as true, ( if not more true today than they were in 1850 or in 1750.

If America stays free, they will still hold true in 2050.

25. Every man shall be judged by his own reward.

A man'o family background, his race or his religion, is nu:, as important as what that man himself can do, for Americans believe a man must stand on his own feet.

26. Every man is free to achieve as much as he can.

We believe that where any boy may become President, where any man may achieve greatness, there is the greatest incentive for every man do his best.

27. To achieve anything, a man should be willing to work.

Americans have always known that "you don't get something for nothing," that to get anything takes a willingness to work and to work hard.

28. Achievement also depends upon the ability to do a good job.

Add to "willingness to work" the ability to produce results and the combination is the basis for most individual achievement in our country.

29. Every man has the right to a fair share of the results of his work and his Because of this belief, America has not only produce more goods, but they have been more fairly and more widely shared by more people than in any other country.

30. Security is the ability of a man to provide for himself.

The only true security for any individual is the opportunity the abilif„y, and the determination to work and plan and save for his own present and future.

Self-reliance is vital to individual independence and personal freedom. No man can be "proud and free' who depends on others for his security.

31. When an individual canna', provide his own security, the responsibility should be assumed by of,hers.

We believe that no one should starve, or be without adequate clothing and shelter, so those who have more than their basic needs share the responsibility of providing the essentials of security for those who need help.

32: Every individual must deal fairly with other individuals.

Honesty, fairness, and personal integrity' are virtues that help free and independent individuals get along with each other without losing their independence.

33. Fair and free competition is a good thing.

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS Americans have always believed that competition among indiyiduals or groups encourages greater effort which in turn brings greater benefits to all.

34. Cooperation among individuals is vitally important.

President Eisenhower has said: "The freedom to compete vigorously accompained by a readiness to cooperate wholeheartedly for the performance of community and national furutions, together make our system the most productive on earth."

Principles of individual responsibilty.

Freedom for individuals carries with it an equal responsibility to use that freedom wisely. Therefore, if we wish to remain free, we must faithfully fulfill our responsibilEles as free men.

35. The individual is responsible for himself and his family.

He must protect them and provide for their present and future well-being.

36. The individual has responsibilities to the group of which he is a part.

He must give of his best to his community, his church, his employer, his union, and to every group in which individuals cooperate for their mutual benefit.

37. The individual has responsibilities to his country.

He must be an active citizen, interesting himself in local, state, and national government, voting wisely, thinking and speaking and acting to preserve and strengthen freedom, equality and opportunity for every individual.

38. The individual has responsibilities to the world.

Man's horizons have expanded. What happens in the world affects him, and his actions can affect the world. Today, therefore, each man has a responsibility to act — and to encourage his country to act — so that freedom and cooperation will be encouraged amcng the people and the nation of the world.

Per America's Future.

Most of us are still confident cf ourselves and of our country. We do not claim perfection. But we have faith in our ability to move forward, to improve, to grow, to provide more and more individuals with more and more of everything they want and need in life.

If we, the people of the United States, want to have a better life, spiritually as we must believe in and follow these two principles: 39. The only way we can have more is to produce more; and 40. As we produce more, we must make it possible for more and more people to enjoy that which we produce.

If we, the people of 'the United States, want to have a better life, spirtually as

well as materially, we must stand firmly for our beliefs, our rights, our principles.

Walt Whitman, writing nearly _100 years ago, put it this way: "There is no week, nor day, nor libUr when tyranny may not enter upon this country if the people lose their supreine confidence in themselves. . ."

There are those who would chip away our confidence so that their special brand of tyranny might creep iiAo America. They must not succeed. 0 let us ask of every plane, or act, or Isn't this with or againt the princigeS of America? i.

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS

THE ART OF READING Any work of art, any product worth your attention, is a unit. You have to see it whole and complete, not split up into sections.

Actually, the perfect way to read a book would be in one uninterrupted session. Impossible? Well, usually, yes, but at least you can come to a book regarding it as a unit, one complete whole, something to start at 'the beginning, pursue through the development, and end in a reasnoable number of hours.

For that reason, it should be the ambition of every intelligent person to learn to read fairly fast.

Reading fast is a matter of a few simple things. 1. Concentration. Nobody can read fast if he is constanly jumping hurdles: phones, other books, television, his favorite record spinning near by. 2. A comfortable and quiet place to read. You can't read surrounded by people talking to you, though I myself find it extremely easy to read on a wellfilled bus, or a train. (Planes above the clouds make wonderful places to read, by the way). 3. A decent light, so that you are not squinting nor fighting to make out the wriggling or blurred words on the page.

You should appraise every book in advance. You should say, "This is a book that I hear is beautifully written, so I should savor the flavor and style," or "This is a book over which I will need to do some thinking as I go along" or "This book kill get all it deserves when I read it through once and toss it aside." Once a person has decided what value a book has for him personally, he sets his sights for his reading of it.

I believe that, in general, it tends to kill a book when it is read too slowly and laboriously the first time through.

A rapid reading of a book means that one gets the chance to see it as a unit, to pull the essentials out of it, to follow the author's plot and the rapid movement of his characters, to understand the main flow of the author's thought ,to see the book as the author did during his pieliminary dreaming and plotting.

If you really want to remember a book, any books, this simple hint is priceless: as soon as you have finished it the first time, rim ?through it once again. And I mean run. Whether the first reading was fast or slow, the second reading should not be a real reading at all but a swift turning of the pages, with the eyes, familiar to some extent from that first perusal, taking a swift look at each page as it is flipped.

If everyone, as soon as he had finished a book, started right off at the beginning and looked through it again, turning the pages one after the other just about as fast as they can be turned, seeing the incidents he had just read flash by his eyes, meeting the characters again in a swift review, he would remember r:he book.

An old Irish professor of philosophy taught me the value of summarizing.

You really are mastering a book if you block out an outline as you go along or as soon as you have finished it. You boil the plot down to a digest. You work out a synopsis of the facts, of the line of thought.

Our professor made us do that with tough philosophy texts. We hated his martinet demands. We struggled against the way in which each day he went over the synopses we had made of the chapter assigned us. We resented his gimlet eye as he saw right through a fuzzy or inexact or lazy outline. But nothing that he taught us, assigned to us to read and made us synopsize, has ever completely slipped my mind.

And his method became the basis of a life's approach to books.

Learning 'to read well is one of the most civilized of accomplishments. To retain what you have read is to add constantly to your mental power and character stature. It's really not hard.

Try it. ) • 40 •(
