"Ty nechce g na l!apSi misto?" ptal se s Usnievem druheho stromku.

"Nechci," pohodil hlavou doubek a za pustil sve koteny o nekolik couleekti hloubeji do skaly.

"A a ty nechce g na 2ivej gi misto?" ptal se doubka na skale.

"Nechci. Neni mi to smutno. liovokim s lesem, hovolirn s kekou a brzy budou me vetve hovokiti i s nebem."

A skuteene. Doubek mohutnel. Skala mu Ala k duhu. Zapustil do ni hluboko sve koreny. Dlouho se nechtela dat, ale pak pfece povolila. Videla, 2e se doubek' neboji bolesti a pied takovYmi hrdiny skala ustupuje. A jak se koieny zavrta, valy do zeine, rozrustaly se vetve do re i do vYk. Jednou priAla velika, vichiice. Opkela se do zad dubu na skale, ale laic nepoki.dila. Dub mel nohy pevne zasazeny ye skate; Opkela se o topol u silnice a vyvratila jej .Topol neustale menil misto a ne mel easu, aby nekde zapustil kokeny po raelne do zerne.

V dobe sveho detstvi, proZiteho za prvni svetove, valky v diadem orlickem kraji v tesne blizkosti Sudet mel jsem se stati bud' katolickYm knezern, lekalem, nebo ueitelem. 1∎Pastalo se jedno, ani druhe ani treti. Od povolani kneze a ueitale nine odradilo pozdni rozhodnuti k zapisu, od lekalstvi nedostatek penez. A tak z kompromisu vstoupil jsern na statni odbornou textilni Skolu v romantickem Itychnove nad Knelnou kde hned v pry nine rote studii spoleene s jinYm Zambera.lwan, Sobeslavem Tomanem jsme v od menu za pilnost obdrZeli statni stipenthurn, jehol hodnotu jsroa oceriovali hlavne tim, ze kaldYm mesicem prichaze lo jedno sto korun, vydatna to pomoc pro matku, ktera si utrhovala od fist, aby mohla chlapci poslat skro ynY balleek s eernYrn chletiani, kouskem Ipeku Lebo uzeneho a pytliekem suknYch Ave stek .

Zachutnala nebYvala svoboda podnikani. Nikdo se neptal po vysvedeeni ze gkoly ani pracovni knidce, bez ktere se Clovek v Evrope nemohl hnouti. Take jsem se nebal prate. Zadne. Zkusil jsem vylamovati kukutici na Kalousove farme u Western, se gkraboval jsem Skrob z velkYch plastti u Penick and Ford. T doglo k ptelomu me budoucnosti 'Zivotni drahy. Jeden z nejvet gich deskYch vlastencti-mecena ga v Americe, Vaclav F.

Masarykem a jeho rodinou, spiso vateli, Aloisem Jiraskem, Frantigkem He ritesem, prof. ValeminskYm, Kalabou a mnoha jinYmi. Vedenim kampani pro Matici a Domovinu navazal jsem intimni styky se v gemi 681. spolkovYmi a kulturnimi slcdkami v zemi.

Hned prvnim rokem po pkijezdu do Ameriky pfigla pied rokem zemiela p Marie Zivna a i'akla jasne a struene: — "Mel by ste &it Ceskou gkolu, potiebuje me novou silu." A tak jsem se mimo v kancelaki stal ueitelem sobotni a nedelni tfidy a distal jim jedenact let.

Ve Tiede, dne 23. ledna 1957 "vyrostl mezi klobouky". V obave, abych nectratil misto u Severa, oteviel jsem si jako "sideline" vlastni dilnu pod firmou "Ted the Hatter." Roku 1947 jsem ji vyprodal, po Uspe gnem vedeni pinYch 20 let.

Nekdo by mohl namitnouti, ze me ne zbylo Casu pro eeskY spolkovY a kultur ni givot. Nebylo tomu tak. Bez pobizeni vstoupil jsem k Sokolu a sveho easu zastaval funkci starosty, pfihlasil jsem se k obeina bratrskYm Jednotam, ZeBJ OSA a u teto dru pe byl po leta diivernikem pro zapadni stity.

Prod to v ge uvadim? Jiste ze rre z chlouby: nebot' za tu si nikdo nic n.ekoupi. Je to odpoved' na tivodni otazku — "Co znamena, Amerika, pro nine". VSe co jsem vykonal, vdedim teto zemi.

Tribute Paid To Frank Matush By Austin, Jan. 16. -- When a 14-yearold immigrant boy came to the United States after the turn of the century, he had no way of knowing that one day the House and Senate of the Texas Legislature would so honor his memory that they would take time out, even on so busy a day as Inauguration Day, to pay special tribute to him. in a joint resolution and with a special page in the Journal.

That immigrant boy was Frank Matush of Temple, and the resolution in his memory was passed unanimously in the two houses of the legislature after being introduced by Senator Jarrard Secrest and Representatives John T. Cox and Reuben D. Talaske, his fellow townsmen.

The resolution said that on Dec. 23, the city of Temple and the state of Texas lost an esteemed citizen in the passing of Mr. Matush and that his life story was that typical saga of the foreign-born unknown who has risen to become an outstanding American citizen.

Mr. Matush was born Oct. 16, 1891, in Czechoslovakia. He had lived in Temple since 1911, was a member of the Temple Chamber of Commerce and on the Temple Military Affairs Committee that brought Fort Hood, McCloskey Hospital and other federal installations to Central Texas. He was a director of the

First National Bank and of the First Federal , Savings and Loan Association, and an officer of the SPJST Lodge in Temple. He was successful in the automobile business and "led a useful and successful life, always contributing his leadership in Temple and Central Texas."

All these things the joint resolution recounted as thousands' of Texans listened while it was read.

Mrs. IVfatush, the former Janie Bravanec of Caldwell, who was married to Mr. Matush on Jan. 11, 1914, preceded her husband in death, in 1954, but survivors include a daughter and two sons, in Temple: Mrs. Arthur H. Fowler Jr., Frank Jr. and William Matush. Two other sons surviving are James of Orange and John Allen of El Paso, and another daughter is Mrs. Tommy Brooks of Camp San Saba.

"Whereas," the resolution ended, "the House of Representatives wishes to recognize and pay tribute to the fine and worthy life of Frank Matush; now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, that the House express its sincere sympathy to his family and forward to them a copy of this Resolution; and be it further resolyed, that a page be set aside in the House Journal in memory of 'Mr. Matush and that when the House adjourns this day, it does so in loving respect to him."

Vorthwhile To Consider In going over the annals of our -,7771. we find that all throu gh the years certain "stormy petrels" in oar midst have repeatedly bombarded our harmony with their cries of injustice here or wrong there, and most of us, in our complacency, or preoccupancy with our own bread and butter "wish to the Lord they would drop cut and leave us all in peace."

Now, that is a human trait, or weakness .shall we say, however, let's look at these men and women front their point of view. Perhaps they have been right — only their approach ha:. . somewhat wrong.

January 16 Dear Girls: It is SO cold today — one's nose is about to break off — so it is best to sit by a fire and wait out the cold spell This is ideal SOUP TIME and I remember my mother. She knew how to make so many different kinds of delicious soups! I like Potato soup with a piece of soup meat and soup bones for richness. Ah, my pot is on the stove merrily bubbling along and the aroma wends its way through the house making this day right cozy. We used to make a good one-dish meal out of thick soup and bread, with possibly a chunk of well cooked soup meat and a little mustard and bread. We kids sure liked it. It was economical, too. The soup would cook all morning in the kitchen and by noon time we kids were already poking our noses under the pot lid, hungry as bears. It solved many a meal problem in the winter and we got filled with wholesome, nutritious food. Mother always used a soup bone as her basis for her soups — and with the slow, long cooking, her soup was something to write home about. I can now appreciate it all so much more for our quick heat-and-eat soups can't even touch hers even though. they too, are good.

The announcements of the different lodges are coaling in for this year's lodge activities for the first half of the year.

One announcement states that there will be a Birthday Party for all members whose birthdays fall in the first three months of this year. Birthdays are birthdays — be you young, medium or old. We all like to be remembered.

I remember one insurance salesman who signed up our whole office on an insurance policY, a Mr. Bud H. Every year he sends me a birthday card, his signature scrawled on the bottom. All of these years! I often wonder—"Will Bud send me a birthday card this year, or is he tired of keeping this up for so many years?" But every year I get

Strana 26 FILLING UNDERGROUND LAKES A large group of Southwest Texans are really taking the drouth to heart— and trying to do something to ease its harmful effects.

Their pet project, called, the Edwards Underground Water District, is aimed at filling much depleted great natural underground reservoirs which lie southeast and in the vicinity of San Antonio.

These reservoirs, in normal times fed by flow of the Nueces. Frio, Sabinal and other stream from the Edwards Plateau over the line of the Balcones fault, have been failing steadily in recent years from overuse and, lack of deplaceme rit water.

The new water district has devised a plan which they hope will refill these flood waters which build up easily with lakes through partial containment of even, spotted: rains on the upper pia,teau,,The plan sponsored by the South Texas Chamber of Commerce is to build a. great many retarding dams along the streams in this area so that flood waters will be released enough to sink into the ground when they cross the Balcones Fault line.

Capacity of the reservoirs is not known, although it is much greater than that of man-made surface reserves. If the Edwards Underground Water District plan is successful, it is certain to .benefit water conservation efforts everywhere. .Suecess depends largely on the current session of the Texas Legislature whose responsibility it is to provide leg:1 and financial means for keeping t;)is worthwhile project in operation. ♦ a•( TIV ,i WRIGHT SLANT ON WASHINGTON-. .

SlatIVANEK JINDEICH S. SAAR Wel

Sedlaka Skrivanka v Borovne presta lo taiti hospodarstvi, j akmile vYprovodil svoji vernou tenu na jeji posledni ceste na hrbitov. Vratil s pohrlau celY jeSle uprimnYm plaeem rortreetenY, sedl za stul, rozhledl se prazdnou svetnici a kdyt tenu nikde nespatril,t zarny slil se a po chvili rekl svemu synu: "Grunt bez selky, tot' jako kostol bez kneze. Takhle to hu nas neniftte vostat Jeren z nas se muei ieko vozenit, ahle ja ne tu harnbu nebotco, mama nehudelam, tak je rada na tobe."

"Dyt myslite, taato, tak se votenim," na pohled klidne a rozvatne odpovidal syn, aokoli se mu chtelo zavYsknouti, jak jej to nahle otcovske slovo poteeilo. Nevypacc11 veak ani okamtik z role hodneho, zarmouceneho ditete a jak sa slueelo i patrilo, vdeene vzpomnel na matku: "Ta kuvou hospodyni, jakou bula nebotka mama ,tu haby svieko upohledal. De pa jenom takuvou hned najdeme."

"Dobre jsmo si toho chlapce vychovali," poliboval si v duchu. Skriva.nek, nahlas vgak take neutrousil ani slovieka chvaly. Vedelt ;, jak se chovat po funuse, kdyt se nebotka v hrobe jests ani neopotila, ae by se nesluklo sa synem se ani chlubit ani hadat, ale te je nutno vyjiti mu vstric. Proto primhouril ko vidka, dela se mu starosti zvarhanilo, rty seapulil, jako by kousal do kyszleho jablieka a znovu se rozpovidal.: "Dobre mluvi, ze vo moudrou selku, je dnes vetSi bida, net vo dukatovY seminko. Zenckyjch pravda â&#x20AC;&#x201D; be'ha po svete dost ha dost, dlatdit by s nima moh, hale jakyjch! Na rukach rukavid ky na hlava.ch kloboueky, na nohach trijeky na apaliekach, Ailhaji pa panech.

"8ecky nejsou takuvY," uznal za vbodno mladY Sktivanek ukrotit tu otcovskou chvalu ten_skeho pohlavi.

"Nejsou, nejsou, ha to je tvV eheesti e nejsou. VSim sem si dnes, rekneme trebas Zahorikouc MarkStky," 3:ozjel se znovu otec, ale v pull vety se pojednou zastavil, jako by se razmY glel, ma-li dopovedet.

Dech se zatajil v mohutna hrudi sy-

nova, zato srdce se mu divoce rozbu gilo. Pocitil, te se v te chvili rozhaduje o jeho celem pri gtim L'ivote. Naela MarkYtka milost pied odium otovYnla nebo nena gla? Pochvali ji, ci pohani'? Hodiny tikaly line na zdi, stare jejich kyvadlo odmerovala klidne vteriny veenosti, name ticho vypinovalo celou svetnici a zrovna 'Skrtilo mla.deho Skrivanka. ft ek-ne-h tee: "Nemehlo ha budit k neeernu je Zahorikoue divee," pak s Bohem, mila pak ut otec sam vybral syna dfistojnOu nevestu, a proti jeho volbe neni odvolani.

Start' Skrivanek dobre vi, ze mlade7 mu libi MarkYta, ze chodi k jejimu okenku na "voldni," to, s iii tancuje u muzik a pak ji k ranu vyprovazi az k Zahorikrina do podevrati, ale dela jako by nemel a torn ani nejmenaiho tuSeni. Na skripec natahuje syna, pozoruje ho podelnou skulinou primboutenYch vieek ,jako by puSkou mini na karist, az kOneene zmadknul spou.SV a znovu se ozval: "Secka lest Zaholikouc MarkYte, tot' piece divee jako iskra, gecko na ni enom hraje, voei nohy i ruce. peknY pozdraveni data,. Pambil Vas poteg," rekla, nebotku pokritovala, klaskem pokropila, svatyj vobrazek poutni na ni polozila, na nic ' nezapomila ha pak tepriea nad ni srdeene zaplakala."

"Zaplat' vam Pambil, tato, za to huznani," odjchl si mladY Skrivanek a pocitil razem takove uleheeni, jako by se s neho svalila klo,da, ktera ho dlouho k zemi maekala.

"Poekyj, to eate neni ruka v rukave," okrkl jej stars'. "To sem eats netek, te by se z ni mohla stat selka na n.a.eom grunts. Scha.zi ji hlavni irk."

"Ha kerd pa?" vydechl MatouS. "Penize," struene, ale rozhadne cedil otec sevrenYmi rty.

"My je piece nepotrebujeme."

"Cak si pytlem praStenyj? Zapomnel .si, co rikame? Tak si pamatuj, ze pellet ha hnoje nema, tadnyj porddnyj sedlak nihdyt dost!"

"Naky vona bure mit."

"Kolik?"

"To nevim, neptal sem se ji. Nejsme spolu eate tak daleko."

"Proto, proto," kYval sedlak soublasne hlavou, hrd na sveho syna, ae se nespustil tak daleko, aby si mush vzit Markytku, treba bez krejcaru penez.

"Hale vy byste se moh jejiho taly voptat," radii dychtive MatouS. Cak bych nernohl? Clo y& eecko mate. Hlavni je, haby si nechal dycky zadni dvirka votevreny, haby, mil kury couvnout." ,SkriVanek vstal a podal se svlikat ze svate nich 'sate. Syn pochopil, te se vic otci do jeho planu nesmi michat, sal take hned do komory, preylekl se ati-

Strana 27 vot na statku Sinul se dal po vyjetYch kolejich. Bdele oko tospodyne vaak vaude schazel, nikdo ji nemohl nahraditi a tak Sktivanek, kdyt jakoby nahodou potkai pod lesem souseda Zahorika, pastetoval si mu mezi etyma ociir a jak teaks' kriZ Panbilh na neh sloth' kdyt mu vzal selku a zanechal ho to v smutnem wstaveni siren() vdovce.

Zahorik hned kam Skrivanek bije. Dela' v.tak, jako by neumel pet napooitat. Povzdychi .si a promiuvil 0patrne: ,"Verim, verim, te se te styjska. Tva nebotka! To bula naka tenska. Sichni ji litujem, ha Sechnirn se po ni styjska."

To rekl nahlas. Pod kilt' , vSak se smal a myslil si: "Drahoty muSime Sarni se nesmime s MarkYtoy, nabizet, jen hajt' si vo ni feknou."

Take Skrivanek prokouki hned Zaho, rika a ponlyslil si: "Vida, vida, tlueu na krovinu, myslim si, ze zajic tined vybehne, ha vono nic. Nu, ne: mime clat na sobs znat, vo tu jeljch vlasatou MarkYtu stojim e ," a lake b y se nechumelilo, optal se lhostejne: "De asi do lesa?

"Nu, (intone, but si piece zapomil na nebotku? Nesrni;', se tomu tak podavat, si nakyj ptepadlyj," zadal .s,oustrastne.
