VAechny Pri p ravy postupuji talc ryclile, jak jen moZno jc provadeti. Jak jiZ bylo oznameno, mesto Taylor darovalo sedm akin pozemku, Sedmielenn9 v9bor, ustanoven9 17, sjezdem SPJST v Temple, rozhodi se, ze ptikoupi dalS1 tri akry a zajisti si pro budouci prikoupeni jeSte asi pet akru, bude-li toho tteba do ti i roku.

Pczemek byl jiz vymeren. Architekt, kte-r9 byl zjednan na vypracovani ptedbeZnYch planu, dokoneil sve nakresy, predloLl je vYboru a eeka, zdali v9bor bude si prati nee() pozmeniti nebo zariditi jinYm zpUsobem. Pak se plany museji poslat do Austinu, aby byly scbvaleny od tech, kdo na podolyle pednik ., dohliZeji.

Velltou v9hodon bylo, ze sjezd vSechnu tuto zodpovednost do rukou v9boru, aby jednal dle okolnosti spraNne a svedomite, ale aby cela akce byla provedena v dote jednoho roku. Dva mesice po sjezdu se ztratily taktka bez velikeho zajmu, neZ se mesta prihlasila.

VSTbor odhadoval, ye to vezme asi tri mesice, aby potrebna reklama se rozviilia. A take do tri mesien priSlo dosti nabidek a v9hodne misto rnohlo byti vybran°. Da1N kroky jiZ mely ureitY sede•.

Jsou to naza,ry pouze jednoho Clena za iceeleill, abychum si yzajmne vysvetlili, co enceme; jsrne byli v Taylor, redaktar tamnejMno deniku entel dostati ode mne dadate,M6 informace Myslel spravne, ze uovinar jde It novinari, advokat It advokatu, lekar It lekari pro dakSi infermace. jedna z jam otazek byla, zdali S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home bade vYhradne jen pro eleny jednoty. keki jsem rrlu, Ce roznadne ne. Vzpomnel jsem si jednak na asnesoni sjezdu, ze "kaZda, Zadost bude vzata v avaha", jednak jsem na mysli, ze nemtrZeme odmltnouti nase dobre Ceske dedeeky a babieky jen proto, Ze, nejsou v Jednote, ae jejich treba ykellny jsou. Vzpornnel jstm si na svou matieku. Geld nak rodiriB, zet', snachy i vnoti2eata, byla Cleny SPJST, pouze matka z nejakeho chivodu nestala It lekari a stala se e'eno to, aby kou. "Deti, vy mne poehovate i bez spolku." A takovYch' pripadit najdeme vice.

Revne2 nesmime zapominat, ze nits stat Texas, jako Kalifornie nebo Florida, pH tanuje ze severe ameba :;tarMeh, east° zamoZnYen lidi, kteti elatejl etraviti zbytek s yYch drifi v teplejAim podnebi. V Texa.su pribYva nejen deti, ale teZ starMch osob, kte.iii se odjinud pristehovali. trine polo ill Onen taylorskST 110Vir jeMe jinou otazku: "Kdo bade nIoci se prinlasit a bydlet v S.P.j.S.T. Donley() odpoeinku?" Na tuto otazku nebylo moZno riot, ze kaZdY, kdo se priblAsi a bude aznan za patrebneho. 1VI11sel jsem rnu dati pouze s ytij nahled, jsem. ze pravidla pro prijimani osob museji teprve pozdeji bYti y ypraco-v6na, aby se nikomu nestala krivda. Chtel vedet, zda to budou vkehno pripady "charitativni", totiZ jen pro lidi nemajetne, anebe takave osoby, ktere by si mohly bud' samy nebo pornoci sve rodiny platit za pcbyt. Zase pronesl jsem pouze svilj hied, ze Domov bude pravdepodobne yeden tak, aby se poked moZno sam sebou yydrZoval. Tedy ye y etMna obyvatelti Domova bude si za svou obsialm platit, co y y e sjezdu bylo odhadnuto na obno.; asi $65.00 mesiene. Dodal jsem, ze ste budou pfipady, kdy dostaneme prihla'Sky take ad takovS7ch osob, ktere nebudo[_l mcci platit vubec, ktere budou pfibady "clas,ritativni" na debroei‘,. qt Dc nova, ovem jak ark_ riaM CleM by ebtiTh tatiZ tildeN peisoual Sr. lidi bade tam zamestilano, aby Domov byl spravne vedenSr . Na tuto otazku jsem pedal vysvetleni, ze neni moZno predem ureiti, kolik lidi bude gamestna-

ye stredu 28. listopadu 1956 no, ale Ze v jinYch podobnYch domovech se etykiceti obyvateli maji od desiti do patnacti zamestnancii, se kterYmi se musi mete poditat. Musi byti spravce a jeho yYpomocnY, ponevadZ zdkon yyZaduje, aby nada z vedoucich byl stale pobliZ. Musi bYti ogetrovatelky, ktere se stridaji v osmihodinovYch smenach. Musi tam dochazeti jednou tYdne lekar. Musi tam bYti kuchar nebo kucharka, posluhovaeky na uklizeni, prani, Zehleni. Vysvetlil jsem, e bude leZet na rozdeleni prate a poetu osob, kteri budou vyZadovat obsluhu. Na nektere jeho otazky nebylo mono dati presnou odpoved'. Jednak nejsou jests Zadna, pravidla, jednak pomery samy naznaei, co bude treba.

Na jednu otazku onoho novinaie dal jsem mu ureitou, nevyhYbavou a za,pornou odpoved'. Ptal se mne, zdali mame v pldnu, aby nekdy pozdeji tento S.P.J.S.T. Domov odpoeinku se stal yekejnYrn Ustavem, kterY by byl ptedan k vedeni bud' statu, okresu nebo mestu.

"Naprosto ne, pokud budeme mitt v organisaci SPJST eleny, :kteri smYgleji stejne se mnou." A dodal jsem, e Domov je zalolen za tim fieelem, abychom uplathovali sve heslo Podpora, Lidskost, Bratrstvi pokud mania ye vetem meritku. Vysvetlil jsem mu, Ze jsme nemuseli tvorit Zadnou samostatnou korporaci a mohli jsme miti tento Domov vYhradne jen pro eleny SPJST, yydrZovane a vedene firedniky a kediteli na gi SPJST, ale dali jsme pkednost vest tento dobroeinnY podnik samostatne a provadeti zasady sveho spolku prakticky ye vetgim rozmeru. K tomu vgak e eleni nikdy nesvoli, aby vedeni S.P.J.S.T. Domova preglo do cizich rukou, aby mezi rediteli Domova byli bide jinYch nahledU ne2 jsou zasady nagi Jednoty, anebo aby Domov nepatril elenfim S.P.J.S.T. Snad jsem gel ve svem irkkladu dale ne 2 mel jsem dovoleno, ale mluvil jsem tak, jak jsem od sameho zaeatku citil.

Jestli si nee° postavime a vybudujeme, at' je to nage, at' je to v rukou eeskeho lidu, at' se mime elm pochlubit. Stejne zapominame east() zdfirazniti ty dobre stra.nky na geho narodniho citeni. Stejne zapominame preptill g na to dugevni bohatstvi svYch predku v torn ygendrodnim churnadi, z nehoZ je slolen celY americkY narod. Stejne se na ge Ceske rysy a vlastnosti ztro.ceji a jsou spige pripisovany americke vYchove ne Z nagim predkilm. Proto citim, e a bude nag pravnik formulovati na gi vYsadni listinu (charter), melt bychom tam mitt nejakou provisi nebo bezpeenostni klausuli, aby S.P.J.S.T. Domov byl vkly yeden eleny na gimi, volenYmi treba v nagich okrskovYch schilzich, representan-

V :E. STNtK — WEST, TEXAS ty, nageho lidu. A ton snad by tam meta bYti klausule, aby reditele Domova v2cly podali ye sjezdu svou zpravu, kdyZ by si toho delegati sjezdu 'e a s t ) se sta.nekdo nee° vybuduje a prijde jinY, kterY nenapadne prevezme kontrolu a pak jedna die sveho, zavede Si nove regulace, naprosto protichildne pfivodni myglence.

To ti je v na gi siovanske povaze, Ze se east() necharne odstreit jinYrni, Ze se povaZujeme se menecenne, Ze mame pocit inferiority (nedostateenosti, menecen nosti.) HaStetivi vflei jeden druhemu, vuCi robe rovnS7m, ale uhYbavi vtiei tern, kdo nas dovedou oklamat svYm ptemlouvanim. Podceriujeme sebe, jests vice podcenujeme sobs rovne, ale doptejeme sluchu a dilvetujeme kaZdemu jinemu. k nim agent obchodni pojit'ujici spoleenosti, east° jej vyslechneme daleko pozorneji ne 2 bychom vyslechli nageho vlastniho organisatora. Casto nevaZime si sveho a nepodporujeme tc, co bylo vybudovano chfIdci. Mame naSA. SPJST, mame jine Ceske spolky a organisace, ale zfunyslne je nekdy pfehlilime. A kdyZ sami tak jedname, co inttheme oeekavati od naich deti?

A piece piivod svaj, nage dobre narodni rysy nemusime zakrYvat. Jakou radost mel jsem pied tYdnem, kdy2 jsem vide' na televisi program, na nemZ vystupovala eeska, hereeka vlastne krasobruslieka Vera Hruba-Ralston Jak hiejivYm dojmem na mne gasobila "Hej, Slovane", ttebas ji hrali v rychlem tempu. A jake nad geni ye nine vzbudila jedna scena, kde Vera se prohanela na bruslich po zamrzlem rybniku pli earokrasne hudbe Smetanovy "Vltavy".

Skoda, e byli jsme sami, manZelka a ‘ ja. Nebylo nikoho, komu bych mohl praye vyjadrit sve tuZby: "Toto jsou ty perlieky, to bohatstvi eeskeho eloveka, s eimZ bychom se mei pied svetem pochltibit."

Mame mezi sebou tisice pii nichZ bychom byli opravneni se pa°. kochati syYmi prednostmi nebo zdsluhami syYch krajant. Prave si vzpominOm na rozhovor s jednim hlavnim organisatorem jine Ceske bratrske organisace. Se gli jsme se na konverici Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu. Vypravel mi, Ze prigel do jednoho mengiho mesta jednom ze stredozapadnich statt. Bylo to mesto, kde dobra tretina obyvatel ia byla eeskeho pilvodu. Vyptaval se na krajany, s nimi 2 se chtel setkat. Dostal jejich jmena. Mezi nimi byl tech, kterY jiZ etyricet let byl alenem stotni zakonodarny. Za gel si za nim do banky, jejimZ byl pkedsedou. Na g el dedeeka jiZ asi 7i

Strana 3 leteho, ale zdraveho a eileho. Dedeeek vypravel napred o svem otci, pak o svem synu. Sum o robe nechtel vykladat. An za d ye hodiny zavolal sveho syna, kterY mei v meste pravnickou kancelar.

Do glo na predstavovani a vysvetlovani.

Otec i syn se priznali, Ze jsou 'deny organisace, jejimZ itrednikem byl nav gtevnik. Pr' kaZdY z inch ma tisic pojigteni ✓ tomto eeskem spolku. Slovo dalo slovo, navgtevnik se ptal, proo si nepribrali vice poji gteni. Oba, otec i syn, pokreili rameny. Koneene syn prohodil, ae ma iii dosti hodne pojigteni, by si dalgi prikoupil. 8 el do bezpeenostniho oddeleni banky, con bylo jen pies rariZku, vytahl stoh pojistek, je pied ndyg tevnika na still a poladal ho, aby tyto listiny prohlednul. "Prohlednete, co u1- main a podle toho mite vypoeitejte, co bych si mel prikoupit."

Organiskor se nine piiznal, c nahodila krajana-zOkonodarce a jeho rodiny mela vYsledek, Ze v rodine upsal poji gteni za tricet pet tisic; neco synovi pravniku, nee° jeho manlelce, a z veteny jejich deem. Lee organisatora nejvice Ze advokat preclloZil sve cenne listiny se slovy "Pr.ohlidnete to a porad'te." adna pov-Y genost sebe jako advokata, Zadne podeeriovani organisatora, ale jako by byl rekl, "KaZdY rozumime sverau, ja zakonarn, ty poji gt'ovani." A to snad byla osoba z treti generace, eeskeho nuvodu a americkeho vychovani. TakovYch lidi, at' Ziji kdekoliv, mCli bychom si vá1-it. Mame jich ✓ Texasu slu gnou radu, jenZe nedovedli jsme je do naSeho spolkoveho Zivota vabit nebo se s nimi bliZe seznamit.

Vlastne aby oni poznali nage snahy. Od takovch Arnerieana Ceskeho ptivodu rnoZno n.eco o6ekavat, Ze jednou budou pro nas nee° znamenat. Radeji budu miti jednoho Amerieana eeskeho ptivodu, kterY se svou vlastni pill a prieinenim vygine do zodpovedneho mista, a kterY treba Cesky ani vnbec nemluvi, neZ tucet takovYch, kteri neznaji ani Cesky ani anglicky, a vy gplhaji se nekam, aby eeskemu pavodu liked verejnosti ostudu. A take takovYch gplhavcil, pouZivaj icich na geho dobrosrdeeneho lidu ye slit:1j prospech, najdeme dosti hodne.

V posledni dobe ncdostavam zpravy, jak pokraeujeme v naborove einnosti. Nebude asi tento rok prilig chvalitebnY. Jednak stredni a jihoza.padni Texas nemel fired, jednak mnoho energie bylo prornarneno starostmi, jak to dopadne ye sjezdu. A kdyZ v ge dopadlo uspokojiv6, kdyZ napeti pomine, Cloy & si rad odpoeine a oddechne. JenZe po vy✓ naborove praci Ire odpoeivat konane praci.

VESTNiK -- WEST, TEXAS

Ve streclu 28. listopadu 1956

Zi RAVY A WILASY Z OliP,SKt Koval', Texas Mile sestry a bratki: schiltze prvniho ckrsku konana seclraeho rijna, .tohOto roku ye Fayetteville, nebyla doposud ve Vestniku popsand, tecly ac pozde, piece aspon to, co ja povaluji za hlavni body, vain dnes vypigi, abyste si snad nemysleli, le se tarn skuteene nic nevykonalo. Naopak a to zyltigte, ze stanoviska posouzeni nagi niladde, byla tato schilize velice Pekna.

Jest politovani hodno, le. ac se nam stale ptipomina na ge mladd ze ona jest viastne na ge bucloticnOst, a le si ji musime stale hledat a ji povzbuzovat, mnohdy &lame praVe naopak.

Byli jsme v teto schtili pobaveni i rozveseleni kratkSrm ale peknYm programein. Av gak doposud jsem to torn ye Vestniku nic nevidol. Tedy jsem se rozhodnul, le o torn napi gi sam.

Dorazill jsme do Fayetteville asi pizl jedenacte iodine a byli jsme hned vitani tamnej gimi Aredniky i eleny radu. Take jiz byli pritomni eleni tamnejgi chlapecke kapely, ktera hned zaela vyhravat na privitanou, same pekne eeske kousky.

Schtize byla zahajena o jedenacte hodine. Vzdana Cest vlajce, mistnimi Boy scouts. Predseda mistniho radu, bratr emajdalka upriranSrmi slovy privital v gechriy pritomne. Na to bratr predseda okrsku vyzval pritomne eleny Hlavni ittadovny k proslovtlm.

Bratr Marek mel del gi pojednani o naborove. praci. Bratr Chupik peknY kratproslov. Potom byla schilize odroeena jsme k obedu, kterY poziAstaval s chutnYeh kurat, pripravem•Tch na rolni a jinYmi chutnYmi prikrmy.

Pritoin nam znovu vyhravali ti hogi, Myslim, ze laclnY z nich nebyl pies etrnact let start, ale hrali velice pane, zase zname kousky, take nam pri tom i hodne chutnalo. Odmenili jsme je za to . hlttenStm potleskem, nebot' to byla opravdu pekna . hudba na tak mlade hochy.

Musim se zminit, ze za to v gechno mei hlavni zasluhu bratr P. P. Baron, tajemnik taninej giho radu. Budil mu za to vgechna eest. On nam byl take napomocen pri vegkerem jednati ye schtizi.

Dokazal nam, ze on bete ty na ge spolkoye hesla va gnE,'• a podle nich i jedna. bratie.

Odpolednl zaseddni zo.Olo s programem. Prvni bylo pkivitani v 'Ceske i anglicke 'ten malou sestriekou Barborou Groman od radu Osveta, eislo 38. Vlastne vgichni na programu byli od radu 38

%mine liostry Vs:Move, nemYlim-1,i se z Dime Box, ktera nam velice pekne zazpivala pri doprovodu piana. Ma, peknY bias i talent ku zpevu a ze je ye zpevu cvieena, bylo take hned znat.

Dalg i (Vinkujici na programu vypisovat nebuclu, nentam seznam a mohl bych nektereho vynechat. Av gak vgichni svcu Cast provedli dobre. Za to path dik sestre Maxe gove, ktera v ge pripraVila a zvla gte sestre Joysie Ann Hribkove, nazi okrskove keclitelce mladele, ktera program ridila a i v nein ucnkovala. Projeviti vgem neinkujichn uznani a srdeene jim vgem podekoVat jest hlavnim fleelerri meho dne gniho dopisu.

PO programu bylal Jana pkilelitOst vg em pritomnYm podati sve nahledy a pokyny pro dobro Jednoty . Bylo zajimove vysiechnouti bratra Navratila (reclitele druheho okrsku a take elena vyboru na postaveni proe se vYbor rozhodnul ve proSpech mesta Taylor. Objasnil nam nektere vYhody me-sta Taylor, na ktere by si mnohY ani novzpornnel, coz myslim, ze prispelo spokojenosti s rozhodnutim vYboru a mdna i zabranilo dal gi kritice toho vY born.

Myslim, le to byl dosti telkY ukol, co ten v3libor na sebe vzal. Proto bychom jim meli dat nagi dirveru a take uznani a neztelovat jim zbyteene jejich praci.

To same plati take pro v gechny nage spolkove pracovniky, kteri jalYmkoliv 1ptlsobeni neziatne pracuji pro dobro vzrtist na gi mile Jednoty, a • kterYm to uznani mnohdy nedame, ale naopak sebe meri gi kritisujeme a napadame. Neni pak divu, 'le opravdu spraVedlivr Olen. se zdraha, vziti na sebe nejakou spolkovou • zodpovednost. Misto mnohdy neodrivodnene kritiky trochu vice uznaloSti a jiste by se mnohem veseleji pracovalo. Maio neb ladna . pochvala, za to v gak zvet govani nepatrnYch nedostatkft a hleclarii chyb, kde vlastne ani nejsou, a to v gechno jenom z osobni jegitnOsti a nekdy i zavisti, chuti ku dalsi praci jiste neprida. 0 kolik prospegnei gi by bylo, kdybyChom si vgimall vice toho dobreho. , co jest vyko-nano a vice o torn dobrem mezi sebou mluvili.

Nemyslim, 2e se nema na Skuteene chyby poultazat a zasadit se o to, aby se stejne chyby neopakovaly, ale delejme to zptIsobem - dilistojnYni a hlavne varujme se osobnich utoku. Nikdy neni neco neb nekdo na eisto gpatnr; nee° dobra je i v tom nejhorgim; proto jednejme tak, aby to dobre mohlo vyniknout a ne to gpatne. Jiste ze tak nejle-

Pe posloulnne a povzbudime dobro v geobecne. Dovolim si vas, sestry a bratki upozorniti no eldnek, kterY jsem vysttihnul z mistnich novin, The Smith.ville Times, ve kterern je pojednavano o podobnYch bodech, jenl zaroven zasilam a ladam bratra redaktora o uverejnen' aspon tech hlavnich bochi. Te gi rime ze je vice lidi, kteri stejne smY gleji joke Myhlim, ze moje dopisy moje smY gleni dokazuji. Dues jsem vlasthe opakoval neco, co jsem jil jindy napsal. Nedalo mi to, neb posledni dobou to polemika nam Moc clobreho jiste neprinesla.

Col kdybychom zaeli ulivat vice to zlate miry, molna ze bychom konekine na to navyknuli, le pak bychom %ani jinaei nechteli. Zlosme to, za zkougku to jiste stoji.

No, ale ul musim ukoneit, tak vain iegte vgockYm preji vgechno to nejlepgi ziistavam vas Vaclav Barina

VZPOMNICY Z DETSTVI (Pokraeovani.)

(Pile John StaSa, Corpus Christi)

Druid nenSi jiz.ba slonZila za kuchyn.

Tarn byl postaven sporak ( kainna na vareni), azenSi still, lavice a police na kuchynske naclobi. Tento sporak pies stenu byl ,spojen s velkou peel. V kachlove peel ve velke jizb y byly do pece zapraveny d y e trouby na peCeni.

Krone rnenSi jizby, ktera, slouZila jako kuchyn na vareni, byla jests "eerna kuchyne", kde bylo ohniSte a otvor do velke peci pod 'SirokYm kominem. Tam se pekl dila) jednou tYdne a koldee k velsim svatkUm. V zimni dobe v to peci se vatilo v hlinenYch hrncich krrnivo pro dobytek, joke ocIpadkove zemaky, "kvaky" (tui'in), a poclobne. To se nejdrive ticlelal v peel Wien, pak ty hlinene naploene hrnce, majici jedno ucho na boku, se vidlici na dlouhe Zerdi vsazovaly a posunovaly do pece po boku ohne.

KdyZ se mel peel chi.% nebo kola6e, tak pee se r.r.m.,L=la, ptedem rozehtdti, aby cihly horkem ptimo salaly. Nato se uhli vyhrnulo "chreblem", pohra.bdoem na shave uhli, popel se take odstranil, a pak se dlcuhou dreveneu lopatou vsazovalo do pece to, co se mei° peel. Komin v "eerne kuchyni" nad ohniAem se pouZival k uzeni masa, klobas a "Apeku" -(slaniny).

Do skiapa se ukladaly zemaky a kysele zeli. Sklep musel byti stavenY kladne, aby ani pti velkYch nazech zimni dobou zemaky v nevi nepomrzly.

Sin byla takova vchazejici a spojovaci mistnost, vlastne. ptedsiri nebo chodba, do ktere vedly dvere zvenku ze dvora.

Sin spojovala okolni misnosti uvnitt, a to dvetmi do hlavni svetnice (jizby), do tr y nsi svetnice, kde se vatilo, do "cerne kuchyne" a pies tuto do kominky a do skiepa, a dalSimi dvel-mi do chleva. V si • take byly h d °d , totiz do prostoru pod strechou. My, deti, letni dobou jsme spavali na pude. Men jsme tam postele i vkchno pottebne :gatstvo ulo2ene v truhlach. Zimni dobou se tam i pradlo suSilo. Jis'A, east pfuly slouZila za sYpku, misto pro obili. To tam byly "kadluby", nadoby vydlabane z jednoho kustt dreva, bezpochyby nadelane z deravYch stromd, ponejvice z lipy. Do techto kadlubu, kti3re byly tri aZ etyti stopy v prnmeru a te xe-e asi YYSky, se ukladalo vymlacene zrni k priSti sethe na, mouku. NaS'e obec mela mnoho starYch, velkYch lipovYch stromin.

nebo na potoce. To se pistem do •radla tlouklo, az to `spina zmizela.

Vidival jsem tarn y e stare vlasti pa boku silnic aleje ovocneho stromovi. U nas, kdy byl otec cestarem, tarn byly po pel silnice same Sve,stky, asi trojiho ciruhu. Obec Police die v§eho je vlastnila, net jak zazravaly, starosta dr-el verejnou dranu a tehdy mu) otec vZd.y ovoce na stromech koupil. Ovoce se muselo hlidat, a vZdy bYvalo dost na povidla. Obec mela suSarny, a kdo mel ovoce, moil si jej tam ususit nebo odves':i na trh do okolnieh mast. Do ValaSskeho Meziriei bylo d y e a 01 hodiny cesty, do Hranic tri hodiny.

BYvalo to vQsele pri vateni tech povidel. Po Ni.-ecrach chase. venkovska se sesla tech mistech, kde se -vatilo, tarn se zpivaio a. na tahaci harmoniku hralo.

Wine pri vareni povidel se nesla daleko po okoli, proto base vkho zvani bylo to lakadlo pro mlade i stare dobromacly. P11 toeeni tim "Svrdlakem" ((kvedlikem) v tom medenem kotli se predaby novidla se neptipahla.

ZadnY se necitil unaven tim toeenim a tuir'ilovanim ohne pod kotlem. Donni se a.2 to bylo uvatene a (lane do nadeb.

Z'polnich plodin se u nas datila a pestovala pknice, zito (reZ), jeemen, oyes, prosna kale, pohanka, chmel, brach, fazole, boby, vikev, eoeka, mak, jetel, vojte§ka (alfalfa), len, lueni seno, tepa, cukrovka, kvaky, vodnice, kapu.sta, zeli salat, S'penat, petr2'21, ,nwke y , brambory nekolik druhn a zeleniny take.

Kdy2 se brambory urodily, zeli a obili, tak bids •nebyla.

Obec nebo dedina Police je rozloe,na na okraji Bane a ValaAska, obklopena ternito obcemi a -mesty: na vYchodni strane zaeinaly levy, pohori s pasekami. Obyva',:eltm pravili horalove a pasekati. Ti uz byli y Oznici a La'z.i.ch. JihovYchedne je Podoli a Loueka, dale na jib Kunovice a Babice,. Mesto Kele uz patrilo do okresu. hranickeho. Kele, byla vzdalena od nas jeclnu hodinu testy. V roku 1908 po6et obyvatel v byl 2,063 dusi. Fajfkati v Kelei delah pekne fajfky. Na y Ychodni strane tekl patch Juhyne, kterY pramenil vYchodne ad HostYna, tvakl pies Hajnochovice, Podhradni Lhotu, Kunovice a vleval se severne ad nas do Beevy. Na jihozapad byla obec Vrchovec, ktera, tesne sousedila s na l obci. Na zapacl byly Kornarovice a Choryn. Na sever bylaPoliena, a mesto ValaSske Meziiici. Mezi Polienou a ValaSskYm M.ezirienn byl most pies Horni BdCvu. Kdo chtel prejQt nebo pre-

jit po nose, musel platit mYto. Pa druno strane mesta tekla Dolni Beeva.

Za mestem ValaSske Mezitiei se obe i'eky spojily a spoleonY tok Beevy vedl k Hustopeei. Hranicim, Lipniku a Preroliu. Misty bylo reei S : te Beevy regulovano, toti,.%; vyrovnano a brehy vylob..me kameny. Podel toku Beevy se pestovalo vrbove prouti na pleteni ko'Sikti. V °loci Usti, ktera je blizko Hranic ,videl jsem tovarnu na koSiky. Jel jsem tim smerem s o':cem do Teplic pro \Talmo, ktere bylo eerstve vypalene a v kusech. V 'Paplicich u Hranic byly vapencove lomy a pece na vypalovani. V techto mistech vedl y Zeleznieni trat' z Hranic e do Vala,§skeho Meziriei a. na Vsetin.' Take i silnice tam vedla tim smerem.

Od nas jsme mohli cestovati po silnici nebo vlaktmr na sever pies Branky, Pclienou, do Valagskeh,o Meziiici, pies Hedslavice, do FrYdku, Te gina, a do Polska. Nebo pies Vala.,§ske Mezifiel, Hodslavice. NovY. nein, Suchdol, Svinov, Vitkovice a do Opavy. Na jihozapad pies Kunovice, Bystfici pod HostYnem, do HoleAova a KrometiZe. Na vYchodni stranu do hor a na paseky nevedla Zadna silnice ani kleznice, jen blative cesty a chodmky. V onu stranu se nachazely obce a mesta: no, Ka.erinice, Ratibor, Jablunka, Mikulty ka, RtIM'ka, Vsetin, Hovezi, Haienboy , Karlovice, HoWalkove., Liptal, Vizovice Zadvericia, Zlin a =oho jinYch. Vychodnim smerem bylo od rids videti horu RadhoW, ktera je 1130 metric (3707 stop) vysoka. Za jasneho dne bkvalo videti take onu povestnou kapli, kdy se belala jako nepatrna teeka slunce. Hora RadhoST mela mnoho lidovYch povesti a baji, jeSte z dob pob_anskYch. Je to turistieke misto.

V roce 1906 Police mely 133 domil s 519 obyvateli. Byly jests drub& Police na Morave, a to v okii3su Jemnice v zapadni Morava na jih od Jihlavy. Take jsou jests druhe Kunovice na Morava, blizko Uherskeho HradiSte. Nekdy tee fiesta Kele (u Hranic) a Tele (u Jihlavy) byly myJne zamenene.

Nase obecni skola mela i byt pro ueitele, ktery mei tri decry a jednoho sync. Ueitel a jeho manZelka mluvili ne1.-dy mezi sebou i nemecky, to kdyz byli pozlotimi, abychom Tnly, skolaei, nevedeli, co mezi sebou maji. Ueitel jmenoval se Julius, Kunda.

Na platforme byl Malta uvitan 8edivSr m a nekolika farmati, kteki si piispiSill, aby prodali svoje okurky co nejeasneji.

Ale ja jsem nic jineho nikdy netvrdil a sam jsem na to Hrabanka upozornil, kdyZ jsem jej tarn vezl. Ale on to napsal tak, jako kdyby to byl sam objevil, a to jedine mne mrzi."

"Nic si z toho nedelejte, °tee VyzovskY;" mluvil mladsi farmat, jeho ostatni jmenovali Havlem, stave se ke kraji platformy, "My .to vime vSichni. 2acinST z nas na nejakou tu stovku, co v tom ma, neeeka. Maji to jini uloleno y e Flo-ride, mime my to uloleno tady dome."

•"1/Sak my se nebojime, ze neptijdeme k svemu," volal farmal, kterY byl rozrnluvu o zahadnem ostrovu zaeal, za odjadejicim VyzovskYm.

Oeekaval ae po odjezdu Vyzovskeho se bude mezi muZi na platforme vit jeate o Krabim °strove a de se dovi vice, ale zklamal se.

"On to VyzovskY myslel doble, at' to dopadne s tim ostrovem jak chce", told mladY farmat jmenem Havel a tim cell diskuse uzavtena.

Za to vyskytlo se brzy jine thema, ktere Maltu ro y neZ velice zajimalo. Jeden zPrav;i: prijevSich farmatit, zvolal: "Slyjste, Co udelalt y eera weer kukluxoye v Melo?" A kdyZ videi, ze je zveclavest vSech nalelite vzbuzena, pokraeoval: "Nejak3i Nemec tam Zit v predmestskem domku s ZenStinou, kterou vyclaval za svoji sestru. Nekdo vyeenichal, ze

"To musela bYt podivana na Nemce a jeho kuchtu obalene v peri a rajtujici na kdlu, s kukluxy v predu, v zadu a na vsech stranach," zas.mal se kdosi.

Ale ostatni se nesmaili. ,, Bezpochyby byli tehoZ nahledui jako Sediv, kterY pravil: "Ono je na torn vice k plaei neZli k smichu. JestliZe si nekdo dovoluje brati alkon do svYch rukou a celek se tomu nebrani, pak good night demokracie a svobodo! Dries Wind, zitra mne nebo tobe, dues vinnikovi, zitra rievinnemu na pouhe podezleni."

"Nu, my jsme tak dalece pled nimi bezpeeni. Mezi nas by si netroufali se sy Ymi najezdy," pravil Havel. "Ponevaa vedi, Ze dovedeme drZeti pohromade a nedali bychom se tak snadno."

"Ano tu dobrou vlastnost aspoil mame, "Ze dovedeme drZeti pohromade, kdyz jsme spoleene ohroleni. ,Ale must na nas nekdo a karabaCem, abychom zaponmeli se prat mezi sebou."

"Co se stalo s onim Nemcem a jeho hospodyni?" ptal se jeden z farmarift Mud kterY byl novinku ptinesl, tekl: "Sli y e silent ptaeim munduru polem a lesem aZ do rana a doSli do Westfieldu, kde se jich ujal Serif. Dal je do kalabusu a zavolai k nim doktora. Ten natidil, aby byil umyti a oSetic eni v nemocnici."

"To asi bude Nemec Zalovat," hadal tazatel.

"Koho by Zaloval, kdy'Z nevi, kdo to uMal? A kdyby vedel, mysli g , ze by naSel soudce, kterY by vinniky odsoudil? A :koneene je jisto, ze by se Nemec neodvaZit zpet do Melo, z obavy, aby se mu tentokrat neptihodilo neco horSiho. Jakou naprava moZno oeekavati v miste, -kde je sam Serif, straZee a vykonavatel spravedlnosti, naeelnikem kukluxu?"

"Navrat k pestnimu pravu, to je vge," poznamenal SedivST. "A v easopisech se o takov3"7.ch .vecech riedoeteme. Leda v nejak'Ych severnich," iiekl Havel.

Den mijel rychle s takoOmi zajimaYYmi meziaktimi. Temer kaZdY z farmalft ptivezl nejakou novinku a Maltovi, retlaktoru se zdala nakupni platforma malou novinalskou bursou.

Malta byl teto schtlzce rad. Doufal, se dovi neco da g iho o Krabim ostrovu a jeho majetnicich.

Na zahrade farmy Boroviekevy pod koSatSiml stromy sesedla se mlade2 kolem Hanziho Syrupu, praveho umelce na tahaci harmoniku a Vojty Spadrny, obratnett° houslisty.

Fraternally, Frances Baleja •), 9 a, 9 1 San Antonio, Texas Sisters and Brothers: About two weeks ago I listened to Henry Morgan on the radio, subject of jr;arakeets. In no uncertain words he dose' ibed his disappointment with the whole caboodle of them. He said that he was told parakeets can be taught to talk and he decid4ed he would get one— they , were such beautiful birds.

Patiently, day by day, he spent an hour or two with his charge but the only response was packing of his hands, when day by day they became sorer and sorer. After some time of this he said, he came to the conclusion that there is no truth in parakeets learning to talk. he had never heard one talk and some of his friends he asked, didn't hear are either. They're as unsociable and contrary as an old clucking hen, temperamental and undesirable. He gave up.

I have never heard one talk either, until I visited Brother Chas. Cerny, Frhre, at the tourist courts, he had one which they have taught to talk. Perhaps there is a special know-how to persuade the bird to give. Mr. Morgan would me,st, certainly change his mind v ere he to v isi ;heir. Ho wou id convinced that parakeets do talk, thoUgh he might have to wait for hour or so until his nibs decided to chat"Je,r on his own.

ES TNIK— WEST, TEXA8

TRADING ST A well-worn wheeze heard in the trading stamp businiess goes like this: Question: What are the three most important books in the American home?

Answer: The Bible, the bankbook and the stamp book.

The gag is probably as aged as the trading stamp idea itself, now in its sixty-sixth year. But while the joke may lyi y e become moldy with age, trading stamps have not. Thirty million shoppers are collecting, licking and sticking the stamps with frantic determination to fill their bcoks and collect their loot. Never has the stamp business lateen so big or so rich as it is right now.

Likewise, never have there been so many questions whirling around it. Are the plans phony? Do they take money out of your pocket or put money into it? Do they raise prices or do they cut them? Should you collect stamps or shun them all?

Not only shoppers ask these questions.

The controversy also simmiers in board rooms, courtrooms, legislatures and fed eral agencies. Here is what's happening: Nonparticipating merchants are up in arms against stamp plans. Business Week reports that among the "milder epithets" hurled against the plans are "headache, leech, scab, profit grabber, parasite." Leading enemies of trading stamps are the two supermarket giants, A&P and Safeway, but rumor says they are weakening, Except for the District of Columbia, where the stamps am illegal, there is hardly a community where stamp plans do not thrive. Just about every type of retail business passes out the blank , books and the stamps to fill them — department stored, clothing stories, bakeries, gas stations, car dealers, laundries, fuel oil suppliers, dry cleaners, hardware stores, appliance stores, gift shops, flour and feed depots, flower nurseries, beauty shops, barber shops, drug stores, grocery stores and supermarkets. "Everyone except liquor stores and undertakers" is the way stamp pro'motors express it.

A study made by Dr. Harvey L. Vredenburg and published by the Indiana University School of Business says that there are 3 tO stamp plans in operation, serving thousands of retail establishments, and that the number increases at the ra': ,e of 10 per cent a year. Other estimates put the number of plans at anywhere from 200 to 400.

Dollarwise, the plans cut a wide swath.

Says Vredenburg: Over $600,000,000 worth of ' , free" mer

SILLY 0

chandise is distributed to stamp collectors each year.

Between 25 and 30 billion dollars' worth of retail goods and services are covered by stamp plans. That's around 7 or 8 per cent of the nation's annual gross product.

Obviously, either a colossal fraud is being perpetrated against the nation or a lot of sourpusses are trying to ruin a good thing for merchants and millions of happy shoppers who just love those stamps.

Operation of the standard stamp plan is simplicity itself. Here's the step-bystep cycle: The stamp company sells stamps to the participating store. Prices range from $2 to $3 a thousand, or two tenths, to three tenths of a cent per stamp.

Along with the stamps, the merchant gets adverti3ing materials, promotional aids and overall supervisi!an.

The store gives one stamp for every 10 cents spent there. That amounts to about a 2 per cent rebate. "Br'eakage" usually favors the store; in other words, if the customer spends 89 cents, he gets eight stamps, not nine.

The shopper fills his book with the stamps, about 1,200 of them. So he must spend $120 to fill one book.

Btrana 21

NOT? through persistent accumulation of the tiny stamps?

The fulfillment of a goal. Filling a book makes stamp collecters feel like shouting "Hurrah! I've done it!" Housewives am proud when they get their premium. And they can hardly wait to start on the next one.

Getting something for nothing. Many shoppers are genuinely convinced that they get stamps and premiums absolutely free. With no discernible evidence to the contrary, they are delighted to have the stamps.

Do you find that these "biner . satisfactions" pretty much describe -your feelings, too? If they do, you are a pushoval' for a stamp book. You may have your mind set on anything from a Vacuum cleaner (231/4 books) or a blender (13 books) to an electric blanket (111/2 hooks) or a typewriter (241/2 books).

You might be interested in a "connoisseur's collection" offering such ricllas as a gold brooch (381/2 ,books) or 'a fine crystal bowl from Finland (19 1/4 books).

Don't be overeager. There are a. few sharp opeiators in the business. There ate retailers who make you pay for the stamps through increased prices; .,and there are retailers who don't.

Collect only stamps you recognize.

You want to he sure your stamps will be redeen-K.,d for worthwhile premiums.

MAKE A WILL AND DO I T RIGHT There is only cna thing worse, from the point of view of both you and your heirs, than leaving no will. That is leaving a bad one.

If your testament is fuzzily written, of I na to misinterpretation. badly thought oat or improperly drawn, the very people you hope will bless you as wise and generous may curse you as they watch their inheritances slip away in court and law yers' fees.

As for you, whose honest toil and prudence earned the right to put a lifetime's .,ccurrtilation to the best possiLie use, you may spin in your grave as your wishes aria misunderstood or disrtga rd ed.

And don't think that family squakbles and legal wrangles happen after only a rich man's death. They can be just as hitter and just as wasteful over a few hundred dollars' worth of gov-1 errtnet aW bonds and a gold watch as over half a million in oil wells.

If you have a will, take it out and look at it. If you haven't one, start Plannin g . As you study your present will or the draft of a new one, ask yourself the questions posed in this article. But esniember that they represent only the most-common mistakes. There are plenty ei other pitfalls in the highly technical business of drawing a will. Watch for them.

Although there are no figures to prove it, the Gads are t axcellent that if your will 'does land in court some day, it will; be because you wrote it so carelessly that it leaves room for argument.

The most frequent mistake along this lien -is failure to describe property well enough for it to be identified and failure to pin down which Joe Doakes you want to get that watch.

Take the recent case of Elise Greer, who had to fight all the way through 'Tennessee's Court of Appeals before she eotild claim . property she had helped pay for in the first place.

Mrs. Greer and her brother owned a farm jointly and lived there together.

After brother's death a holographic will (one handwritten by the testator and not witnessed) was found. It merely "I give and bequeath to my sister, Elise Greer, as long as she may live,! and then to Pre.d Anderson and Mary Alma Greer."

T• . .where was there a mention of what brother was lea ving. Tire courts finally inserted the words "all my property" whore . ':!icy should have been right along and Mrs. Greer got the farm for her lifetime—after a struggle.

Another recent case involved a bitter fight among three cousins named Joseph because a will failed to specify the in•':em. iad heir.

No one can predict with complete accuracy, of course, what the passage of time will do, and it is necessary to review a will every now and then to de' t aanine whether its provisions still reflect your wishes.

Cne obvious mistake is to leave specific property in a will and then dispose of the property before death.

Ti's Appellate Court of Illinois had to solve that problem recently. A mother wrote a will in 1942, giving her cash to three daughters and her farm to all eight of her children. Later she sold the farm, distributed some of the proceeds among the children and kept the rest. She died in 1951 without having changed the will.

Should the cash from the sale go to the throe daughters or should all the children share?

• The court decided that the woman died intestate (without a will), and the money was distributed equally among all her children.

A California mian made a similar 'error. He wanted his two daughters to get $2,000 each—a sum to be raised, 'according to his will, by selling a piece of land. The rest of his property was to go to his wife. But he sold the land before his death and felled to change his will. Following a trial, the entire estate went to his widow, and the Court of Appeals refused to heed the daughters' protests.

Even more serious is the failure to change a will after a change in domestic status. Just before he went overseas, an air force officer from Texas made a will leaving his possessions to his moil nr. Later he married and had two children; in 1949 he died, leaving his will unchanged.

After lengthy proceedings, a Texas court recently held that the wife will get her full legal share of his estate, but the dhildren's share will be for their use only until they are 21.

You can't ever assume that a change' in your status will revoke a will validly made, especially when it involves dis- I inheriting a husband or wife, a hard thing to do under the law.

A Tennessee testator, who had left his estate to his wife, later separated from her and mac-le a property settle-e! ment. They were never divorced, but she formally relinquished any claim to the property coming to her in the will.1 Nevertheless, the Court of Appeals held

that the will was not revoked. The case is due for a second round to determine how much the widow will get.

You must think, too, about whether your estate will shrink by the time it is divided. One man left a great many specific money bequests to distant relatives and the residue of what he 'thought would be a large estate to his son. Unfortunately, by the time the executor had dug up enough money to pay off the gifts, there was nothing left for the unhappy son.

Eon Gresham, a Texas businessman, wrote this will on January 12, 1950: "This letter is written with the idea that some thing might happen tan me.

That I would be wiped out suddenly if this should happen my business would be in awful shape no relatives, nobody to do a thing so, this is written to try to have my affairs wound up in a reasonable way in case of my sudden death.

"They are not responsible for being here and cant help themselves."

On February 7, 1950, Mr. Gresham added a note: "Haw let this letter get cold and read it again—to see if it seemed about right.

"Dent see much wrong except no whereas and wherefores—'excuse me.

"Lon Gresham" The Supreme Court of Texas, asked whether the letter was entailed to be probated as a will, decided that it was, indeed, a will. The puzzlde administrators are left now to attempt to figure out their friend's wishes.

THE MIGHTY PEN At nine o'clock on an October morning in 1945, five thousand persons jammed through the entrances of a New York department store. As the crush n ounted, fifty extra policemen moved in to keep order. Twenty-seven persons fainted in the melee.

What sadden madness had hit the pc,I)le of New York to make them risk life and limb in this rush to buy? What incredible bargain was being offered?

The "incredible" bargain was — a pen!

Anil, actually. it wasn't such a bargain at all. The price her pen: $12.50.

But this was a revolutionary pen -the first ball point pen offered the American people, one that could write for a promised two years without refilling. What was evon more exciting, it could write in the air and under water, too. Boasts were also made of its ability to make as many as eight easyreading carbons.

How mighty the simple pen that it could produce such a demonstration!

Six hours later the department store had sold out its entire supply of 10,000 pens. Rush orders for more were flashed to ;1-if; Chicago plant. Even after 50,000 had been sold, the demand continued unabated. The news swept across the nation. Within weeks pen stores opened everywhere, stocked only with ball point pens. A new industry had been born in the United States. n Miami, the fruit juice operator ofli-red you a pen for sale with your drink in Kansas City, a gasoline station at tendant cleaned your window and tried to sell you the new sensation at a bargain . frankfurter stands, haberdasheries, radio, drug and tobacco sol'es at once forgot their specialties to push this cure-fire seller. The ball point pen flood was on.

In 1946, the United States alone prociticlad over 150,000,000 pens, establish$240,000,000 industry. The original ball point pen manufacturer, Milton Reynolds, a young Chicago entrepreneur, said to have banked over $3,000,000 within six months of the start of the first sale of his pens. Never in the history of merchandising has anything :sold with such immediate, overwhelming appeal. Eight months after its New York appearance ball point pen production spread to thirty-seven countries of the world. in HOng Kong, a single pen sold for $75.

Public acceptance of the newest type of writing mechanism has not -waned.

More and more American banks are placing ball point pens on their writing desks. Before the end of htis summer,

the 38,000 post offices in the United States will have replaced conventional pens with the ball point variety.

The ball point pen of 1945 was not completely new. It was based on an idea patented in 1888 in England. A tiny ball bearing, a millimeter in diameter, draws a. special type ink to itself through capillary action as it rolls freely in the tip and on the paper. Another similar pen was patented in 1916, but this also ran out without exploitation.

What made the modern ball point pen Possible was the discovery of a semisolid, paste-like ink which didn't run and which was waterproof.

During the last war, American and British pilots who visited Buenos Aires usually returned with a new kind of pen that didn't leak at high altitudes.

The pens were made by an Hungarian refugee who had developed a special new ink. The British air force showed interest in the pen and an aircraft company arranged to purchase the rights from the inventor. But Reynolds, traveling through South America at the time, happened to buy one of the new pens and saw at once the immense potential for the American post-war market. He flew back to Chicago, promptly began redesigning the pen and opened a small plant. He gave first exclusive rights to a New York department store which met the callenge with imagination. Huge, full-page newspaper ads blazoned the news that the "miraculous pen" would revolutionize writing.

Reynolds himself came across the most fantastic promotional angle — the pen's ability to write under water — ,quite by accident. Doodling on a soggy newspaper, he discovered that the ink didn't run. On this single accidental finding the industry went on to spend millions advertising the "underwater" attributes of the new pen. One large Los Angeles ,stOre installed a tank of water in its show windows and hired a "frog man" to spend most of the day immersed and writing away on a pad of waterproof paper. Gadget-conscious Americans loved this blatant type of promotion even though not one in a million had occasion to use the pen under water.

Today, you can buy a ball point pen for as low as ten cents and plastic barrel pens now cost less than five cents to produce. Yet price doesn't seem to be a factor in pen popularity, for $5 and $10 pens sell very well. Prior to the ball point pen stampede one manufacturer had been selling a regular gold pen and pencil set for $125 -- and sold

50,000 sets in a year!

When Lewis Edson Waterman invented a pen with an ink reservoir — the fountain pen -- in 1884, he set the basic pattern for all modern pens. Despite improvements, the concept remains the same with five basic parts; a nib or point, a barrel, a bar to regulate the ink flow, a connebting piece between bar feed and barrel, and a cap.

In 1770, an Englishman had patented a similar type of fountain pen using a quill instead of a nib. It was considered so strange an instrument that it was listed in science books as a "mathematical implement."

Although the word "pen" stem,s from the Latin penna, meaning feathel, there are references to pens made of metal, stone and reeds in ancient times. Job refers to an "iron pen" which he used on stone and metal plates. In fact, "a turn of the pen" comes from the metal styli used on wax plates - one end sharp and pointed. the other flattened for erasures. Reed pens were used primarily by the Egyptians and are still used in countries along the Mediterranean because they are so well adapted to certain kinds of paper.

For centuries quills were the most popular writing instrument for ink, specifically, wing quills of geese. So fine and flexible are they that even today there are writers and artists who prefer them to modern steel pens.

For a time, protocol insisted that treaties be signed only with quill pens.

They were used in the signing after the Russo-Japanese War (1905) and the Spanish-American War (1898) — and later sold at auction for as much as $125 apiece. Rembrandt's detailed sketches and Charles Dickens' major works were created with the aid of especially fine crow quills.

An immense market developed in the 18th and 19th centuries for the quill of the goose and the crow. Huge flocks of geese -Ma re raised in Russia, Poland, Germany and Holland. In a single year, St. Petersburg (now Leningrad) sent 27,000,000 quills to England. This called for quite a- sizeable flock since only ten or fifteen of the soft, pliable quills from each goose could be used. Secret and trim-consuming processes went into the treatment of these quills to turn them into pens. First they were buried in hot sand to shrivel the outer skin and lining. Then they were dipped in a boiling solution of alum and nitric acid (Continued on page 25)

HOW TO WIN AN ARGUIVITTNT of listening. It not only wounds the other person's ego to be interrupted and brushed off; we run into what the psychologists call mental set. The person with something on his chest has his mental set all geared for talking. If you want your own ideas to be heard, learn to listen first to the other fellow.

Asking the other person to repeat his key points is also valuable when he comes to you hot under the collar.

Merely letting him get it off his chest goes a long way to reduce his feeling of hostility. If you can get him to "play back" his complaint two or three times, it drains off virtually all his emotion or steam.

2. Pause before you answer.

When someone asks you a question, look at him and pause slightly before answering. This will let the other person know that you consider what he has said of sufficient importance to "think about it," or "consider it"

concede something and find some point of agreement.

If the other person has a point in his favor, acknowledge it. And if you give in on minor and unimportant points, the other fellow will be much more likely to give in when you come to the big question.

4. State your case moderately and accurately.

The tendency that we have to watch in trying to get our ideas accepted, when they are opposed, is to exaggerate and make too forceful an appeal. You beat the other fellow down. You get him to the point where "he can't say a thing."

Your audience applauds, and you think you have won the argument. But the other fellow still hasn't accepted your viewpoint, and he will not act upon your ideas.

5. Speak through third persons.
