Vyvolane pak vStchrty nova firedpci radu a kdy2 tito se pled shromaScienim elenstvem seskupi11, br. G. Kacit pripomel inn slib vernosti a jejich zodpovednosti, dtistojnim spilsobem.

Velice se nam tote provedeni zamlou Yoh) a veru, ze ty, deny radu Jaromir Meiji tuto schtizi opomeli, prome.Skali velice krasnou prileSitost petteiti se o torn nagem bratrstvu. Maji co litovat.

Na to velice pekne bratr Cervenka vzpomel zasluh odstupujiciho br. tajemnika E. Poppa po 30 let a proto Se to tak dojemne "provedl", videl jsem, mnoho to oko ptitomnYch se zarosilo.

Ta co ted' ta stafenka ma Mat v torn dome, na v g e je elektrika pere se i vati i zameta a to stakenka se tej elektriky boji, chodi po torn dome a hiedi jit stranou aby neptekdIela. Rada by pracovala, ale jiz neumi nic, je abyteend tak pro takove je to velke dobrodini Ze budou mit kde tu svoji gedivou vu a ty sedtene ruce polaait.

V cluchu poeitaly. Bylo tech trnek piece tolik puten. Tolik se prodalo a tolik se nechalo na vafeni. Na koralku sypaly se truky napadane a jenom troche se pH.dlo obrankch.

Po tomto ckem zaveru, a kdy2 si to jeSte jednou clnkladne rozyWaly, prornluvily k strkcovi takto: "Ty stark, tech trnek bylo vic. Bud' nam ich ukradl nekdo cuzi, ane bo ty."

"Ja,"? delali strkeek nexamne prekvapeneho a uraZeneho, "jak to motes enom vypustit z huby? Neboji g sa, ze t'a, MTh vSemohilci za, to tve ciganstvo ztresta a zkrnti ti hubu az za, tylo? Videlas I'm?"

"Nevidela, ale rada bych veciela, ham sa teda podely? Koeka ich preca neseZrala, too zeme sa nepropadly a ja, sem ich take nezedla; to g kde enom sit?"

Tetieka znilkly a ptemy glely. A nahle jakoby tajemnYm svetleni osvicena, nechaly prace a zamitily na konec dvora k citevene gope. Ve gly tam, eichaly a nasly. V koute mezi citevem a slamou kreila se skromne bedielca jako netna Haienka v trave. Strhly s ni starou houni a uvidely ji pinou krasnYch zralYch gvestek. Byl to tajnY sklad strYektv, kvas na slivovici, o kterem tetka nevedely.

TakovY byl strYc kos.

"Tot tak, na ko •alku ich obetovals," ktieely, "ale ja ti to zarazim a zvihnu ti hrant. VSecko ti to vyleju, abys vedel; beztoho sa z teho enom hrichy lehnn a nebude teho Akoda."

Tetka znaly dobte sveho stareho a Ye(ely, ze je v geho schopen. Proto vratily se k praci, ale brblaly potad. V torn pill.gel k nim Janek podivat se jak pokraduji ptipravy k migani.

"Ja motu cleat, co ohm," kriceli strY eek. "Kdo je hospodarem a panem dome, co?"

"JakY gak pan," smaly se tetka, "ma V. . .

"No, ut, nekriete," ti gil je Janek, "aj slibovica sa vam hodi. StrYc sa nadelajd a to si zasiita nejakY ten hit. A potom si aj trochu odprodate a po glete take vagich chlapeom. Budd radi. Nesmite bYt takova."

(Pokraeovani) Nyni videla ji2 cosi se pohybovati, hem aiti na prostranstvi za Dlaboeuvou farckou, ji2 • ozezavala i bile postavy blizko ohne a kotlik nad plameny. Nyni videla. ji2 i strae rozestavene kolem farmy jako bile, slabe se pohybujici slormky a svetlo zaealo ji2 ozaiovati i kioviska kloena ni. Musela se pliliti podel plotu cbrostleho bklim, nechtela-li bkti zpomorovana straemi a na delei dobu ji ponure divadlo zmizelo se zraka. Kdy2 dospela mista, kde zase videla na civorek Dlaboeovy farmy, mohla ji2 zrake mptehlednouti cele divadlo. Skroila se za k •ovi s rajflikem k ykst •elu piipravenkm a napnula zrak. Maltu nevidela Za to na ploeince nad schadky pii domku sahledla jakousi menei etihlou postavu, snad hocha, ozatenou plameny. — Uprostred dvorku videla nekolik zakuklencit stojicich ztrnule za nimi tetez daleich bilkch postav uvelebenkch v polokruhu na zemi dvorku, nebo stojicich. "Kde je Malta? Co tam pied kukluxy dela ten hoch, vzpiimenk jakoby v4dorne Celli soudu?" ptala se v duchu Mila, soukajic se b1.12e k divadlu podel jakesi meze u kraje kukaieneho pole.

Tak se octla na miste, kde mohla, vzpii mena za kerem, nejenom obhlednouti celk clvar, ale i slyeeti, co se miuvilo. Pojednou se v ni opetne zatajil deck tak jako pied necelou hodinou, kdy2 slyeela, e kukluxove jedou na Maltovo si(dlo.

Poznala nyni, ze hochem, Celicim na schadcich domku kukluxfn, je v maske eaty obleeena divka s kratce ostiihankmi vlasy. Poznala to z postavy, i z °saeho 2enskeho hlasu, kterk se rozlehal do celeho okoli. V torn zahledla ji2 take matne obrysy postavy, stojici ye tmavkch dveiich tesne za divkou za hocha pievleCeneho, To je jiste Malta.

Co to veechno znamena? Co se tu deje? Kdo je vlastne kukluxy souzen, divka nebo Malta nebo oba? A prod, jak se sem to 2enska k Maltovi dostala? Tyto otazky jako blkskajice skii2ily se Milinou hlavu. Na dohadoyani se nebylo Odpoved.' na -Co prisla ji ostatne pozvolna z toho, co Se odehravalo pied jejimi zraky, co videla a slyeela. V torn okam2iku clopli2i1 se k ni te2 otec.

INCOME TAX INFORMATION

WEST, TA13

9,1,!.a 19

If a person, other than a farmer, desires to file his income tax return and pay his tax in full, he may do this on or before January 15 instead of paying his last quarterly installment. It does not relieve anyone from filing the original declaration of estimated tax and making three payments on it. However, in most cases this provision does remove the possibility of a penalty for an under estimate of tax liability.

Farmers have special provisions concerning declarations of estimated tax, and may postpone the filing of any estimate until February of the following year.

The penalty for underpayment of tax liability on the declaration of estimated tax was reduced by the 1954 act. ,There

is not no underpayment of the taxpayer remits at least 70 pt . ; . cent of his tax as shown on his final lax return.

If there is an underpayrekee, the penalty is 6 per cent per :inn Ida Literest on the additional amount \\Then should have been remitted. It is expected that there will be more strict enforcement of this provision in the future by the Internal Revenue Service.

Under the provisions of the federal Internal Revenue Act, all persons who have a grass income over $600 must file income tax returns, except if the taxpayer is 65 or older he need not file a return unless he has gross income over $1,200.

Women9 s Nothi Dear Girls: Now they tell us that the cost of living will be a little higher this coming year than it was in '56, that taxes also will bo higher, but that it will be a good year. Let's hope so.

So, this year may mean doing without a new suit another year, etc., unless we can squeeze it in some way.

With the pre-invientory sales, now in swing and while the weather is still nice for shopping, you can replenish , your supply of sheets and towels at a savings. Most sheets are getting a little tlinadbare this time of the year anyway, so it is a convenient time to shop around and see what the stores have to offer.

Sheets that are getting thin in the middle can be salvaged for a few more washings by splitting them in the middle and sewing the two selvedge edges together and then hemming the raw edges. These are idal for those rough and tumble youngsters to finish up.

Then, too, out of the sturdy corners, one can make a couple of pillow cases if you happen to need them the most, or Dillow protectors.

From the thin sheets, armed with pinking shears, I've made good size pocket handkerchiefs for my sons to take to class when they had a cold and it was not convenient to dispose of a paper napkin. The cloth hanky lasted through class and was disposed of when it was possible to do so. Besides these il lerns mentioned above, old thin sheets make fine soft dust cloths. So you see how many uses old sheets can be put to?

Speaking of sales, now also is a good time to tuck away a gift or two for emergencies during the coming year or for Christmas, at a saving.

A towel with a crochet edging is a gift for the working woman that is highly appreciated and solves a gift problem beautifully. This is also a good time to watch the department stores for I heir sales of toilet soaps, washing powders, at a bargain.

Wednesday, January 9, 1957 built has no effect whatsoever on family contact. Many a traditional family sees much less of its children than the family which gets back in the moving van every other year. Mobility, because it leaves gaps in other relationships, should tend to draw families even closer together.

Contact gives a family strength. So does what Dr. Foster calls homogeneity: the way in which members of a family react in the swim manner to the same kind of stimuli.

They have similar interests, get aroused about the same things, band together against a common enemy, worship a common God, and find each other enjoyable.

A third pillar of strength is the dynamic element — ideals and what the family does about them, how it expresses its combined energy and spirit. Does the family work toward some ideal, or does it just give up?

Dr. Foster thinks it would be difficult to isolate mobility from other factors affecting family life and say, "You're to blame for all that's wrong!"

The population is shifting from rural to urban, cultural values are changing, particularly with reference to divorce, marriage, and the rearing of children, women have increased education and emancipation, the size of families has decreased, and there has been a lot of family disorganization of various kinds.

Moreover, he believes the family is being "helped" by too many diverse and competing social agencies. "Do these cleavages help to strengthen or to weaken family life?" he asks.

Perhaps the sociologists and others have forgotten that every family in America once was nomadic. It had to be, first to get here and then to conquer one frontier after another.

Perhaps they also forgot that with a child life is one adjustment after another, no mattter where or how he lives, and that he usually can make any adjustment beautifully if he has a solid rock of family behind him. ) • oite • YOUR FAMILY'S PROTECTION In the old days the head of the family safeguarded the lives of his loved ones with his strong arm.

Children's Club Dear boys and girls: Today I'm going to tell you something about Czechoslovakia, as it has been told to me, the country from which your grandparents came. It is located in central Europe surrounded by high mountains which are covered with forests.

Now when a person thinks of forests, we think of our woods with its tangles of underbrush, dwarfted trees, stumps, decaying branches and hosts of poisonous and non-poisonous insects, snakes, lizards' and wild game.

In Czechoslovakia, the forests and woods are tended. There are no low hanging branches overhead. These have been kept trimmed off so that the tree grows tall, straight and thick without too many knots. The poor people are allowed to pick up the fallen branches and twigs which tie up in bundles for easy stacking home and take them home for winter heating. One can often sue an old woman bent double under a load of these grass tied bundles trudging home from the woods. She had tied them up in an apron or a square of cloth and placed them on on her back and then perhaps trod a mile home with the huge bundle. You can imagine how tired she was. Women carry green grass for the cows in this manner also. They cut the grass with handle sidles. The Sides are very sharp and one has to be pratty dexterous to cut grass close to the ground with nipping ones fingers,

It has been well established by independent studies that the worker in the upper age brackets is still generally competent and efficient. Similarly, it has been determined that he is not more liable to absence from the job than younger workers, and often has a better record in this respect. He is apt to be more responsible nad steady and less prone to accidents.

Despite the findings, the employment of persons older than 45 is accompanied by sonsiderable desistance, and advertisement after advertisement sets unrealistic age limits fm applicants.

Few employers are willing to admit a prejudice, but it exists arml it is • esulting in an unfair and intolerable discrimination against a large segment of the willing and able population. Obviously any attempt to force the employment of the over-45 would be an impossible infringement of the employer's right to select his employes. But a changed attitude must prevail if an ugly employment situation is not to result.

Thu American population is undergoing a statistical aging process. Year by Year, the number of persons above middle age is increasing. If they are not to be allowed to work, they will have to be assisted by government welfare grants. The burden of their care thus will fall upon the younger and working taxpayer and upon business and industry.

Immigration and Naturalization Question: I am applying for American citizenship. One of the questions on the citizenship application is whether the applicant has ever been arrested or convicted of a crime. I was once arrested for a minor offense more than fifteen years ago, but tlra charge against me was dismissed without any penalty.

Do I have to include this arrest on my application?

Answer: Yes. Great care should be taken to answer every question in the citizenship application accurately and honestly. Under the naturalization law, citizenship may be revoked at any time for concealment of a material fact or for willful misrepresentation in connection with any part of the naturalization proceedings. Such a revocation could make a person "stateless," that is, a man without a country, and cause great hardship to him and his family.

A piece tech (Pokradovani se strany 15) Ve ti-ech rninutach byl ftehok obleeen na sve chevroletce se 8padrnou po boku a leteli tichYm krajem k Dlabo gove farm& Nyni, kdy se k ni blizili, zatajoval se v nich dech. Najdou ta mMaltu? Dostanou od neho zpet zavazky majitelti ostrova?

Na farmiece bylo ticho. Na ceste k dvorku bylo pino stop noenich udalosti v podobe zahazenYch ruba gii a cigek Na dvorku na vyhaslem ohni pkevrZenY kotlik s vylitYm a vystydlYm eernYm obsahem. Dvere domku byly zavteny.

"Cot ma-li tarn Malta tentoc toho — tu zageptal ftehot. "Mame je vyrukti?"

"To je jedno, koho tarn ma, my musime dostat svoje podpisy zpatky. Ja tu nebudu eekat, aZ se mu zradi vstat, ja, chci mit jistotu hned," rozhodl se 8padrna a zabouchal dtrazne kotniky peste na dtevenout steno domku.

Rehot si stiral s vela a skrani hojnY pot. Spadrna vykulil oei ke dvetim pohledem, jakYm tkvi zrak souzeneho na astech soudcovYch majicich pronesti ortel.

Greetings and a Very New Ye .r To old and new ones from Dr. Albert H. Br•tlen formerly from Hallettsville In the interest of my patients I made a great sacriAte in time and money to learn the latest methods to cure disease and I discovered that DOeturs everywhere are using more and more natural methods and are shunning the kniVes. They learned that regardless how well the operation has been done, that in time there is need for another and in the end tho cure is worse than the disease. Litt'-e gifts from the Holy Land for everybody.

Hold on the operation until you see me, DR. ALBERT H. BRODEN 1414 Fairview Ave — Houston, Texas ((Ire) By appointment phone —A-30992
