A ja take nespim, peotole davam na to pozor, abys mne neokradl. A tak se oba trapirne a nesnime. Proto si 'vezmi polovinu, ja, take si necharn polovinu, dejme si pok-oj a speme."

Rodiee moji byli Josef a Katerina kovi, matka rozena LeSikarova. Byl jsern z dad nejstarSi. Otec byl vojakein a slouZil 13 let. Bojoval v Rani, v Densku a r. 1366 i proti Prusku, ktere tenkrat vtrhlo do Rakouska. Dornil prichazel jen na dovolenou, Matka zdedila po svYch rodieich chalupu a asi,13 meric pole, kde hospodarila a c)aattrovala svou starou matku. Oba moji rodiee jsou jiZ nanoho let mrtvi.

Pak jsme nastoupili posledni kus nagi testy a ocitli se ye Wesely. — Musim podotkriout jak ja jsem tu cestu z Brenham do Wesely delal. S bratry Markovkmi byl jejich soused, jeng jel na. koni.

Ten videl, ze na voze neni pro nas vgecky dost mista, a v gal nine tedy za sebe na kora,. To bylo neco pro mne! Sotva jsem pkijel do Ameriky a ji g jedu na koni! Ale klruheho dne to jig nebylo tak pekne a ja mel jizdy dost. Kun mel htbet, g e se na nem mohlo dtivi fezat.

Po pkijezdu do Wesely jsme se ubytovali u krajana jig ye stare vlasti nam znameho, p. V. Balcara a pomahali sbirat bavinu. Na nasledujici rok 1875 rodice najmuli malou farmu od Americana jmenem Wood, asi mile severne od Wesely, koupili spre geni vole, z nichg jeden byl tak stark, ge sotva chodil, a druhk jakoby by mel v sobs vgecky eerty zasite. Tak jsme zacali delat prvni firodu.

Ze jsme byli ve zdej gim rolnieeni novaeky, tedy jsme mnoho nedokazali, ae i kdy by se byla aroda udelala, tedy by nam ji boute byla znicila, nebot' toho roku 1875 mel Texas tu nejvet gi bout', jeg trvala tti dny a noel a znieila vgecku iuodu. Vge bylo vetrem a vodou znieeno.

Domek, v nemg jsme bydleli, byl zpola rozboten a my se museli na eas ubytovat u nejbli ggiho souseda, Drgaee. Nasledujici rok rodiee najmuli pozemek od krajana p. Ripla, asi 2 mile zapadne od Wesely. Ten rok byl lep gi a my jsme 11delali dosti dobrou nrodu, jenge misto k obkvani bylo nezdrave, tak ge vgichni z nas' rodiny meli zimnici, tak zv. ma'aril. Jen ja ji nedostal. To jig nas bylo vice Do Ameriky jsme ptijeli rodide, tki bratti a jcdna sestra, ale v r. 1875 nam ptibyla sestra, a r. 1876 zase jedna. Ten rok jsem jig mel take otci v poli pomahat. Mel jsem radost, 'ge mne jig povaguje za velkeho a ge budu jig v poli carat. Ale seglo s toho. Otec si vypirjeil spie '2eni volt a dal mi dtevene tfirohe brany, abych pole vldeel. Ale ge bylo v poll mnoho starkch pateztt a ne gli jsem lakejel po jednom kadku, jig jsem nemel v branach ani jeden zub nebo bfebik, bylo po radosti a Po praci. Ten rok byla troda zvla gte dobra, jak kukutice, tak baylny, ae na bavinu pti gly listove housenky. Za celk muj pobyt v Texasu jsem nevidel tolik housenek jak ten rok. Ale to nebylo jegte vge. Kdyg byly housenky s bavinou hotove, tu ptigly mraky kobylek, ge jsme ani slunce dobte nevideli, lee jen jako skrze mlhu. Kobylky se graly fge co jegte bylo zeleneho, a pak 'gra-

ly i ty housenky! Byly keel, ie se I do prasat pustily, je g tenkrat behaly yenku. Ja to ovgem nevidel.

Jelikog ono misto bylo nezdrave, tedy rodiee pronajali farmu od p. Havlika pin Wesely a my se opet stehovali. Na farms p . Havlika jsme bydleli dva roky a ja co 13 a 14 letk jsem u. delal vgecko eeho pti rolnieeni bylo zapotiebi. Obe leta byla dosti dobra, jen ge naafi rodinu potkalo neatest'. Urntela liana nejmlad gi sestra ani ne rok stara, na detskou nplavici.

V r. 1878 podlehli moji rodiee stehovaci horeece, je g tenkrat panovala a my no, podzim se p •estehovali do Noveho Tabora, v okresu Burleson, kde ji g vice krajann bylo usazeno. Okres Burleson byl v to dobe jegte male obydlen, byla to jen sama prerie a na ni trava6 stop i vice vy soka. Na ni se pasla cela stada dobytka, a zajica t. mulakti bylo gude v pino, i eels houfy divokYch slepic. Rodiee najmuli farmu od p. J. Ma gika, prerie a my museli teprve vge prola,movat, panenskou paella orat na kukutici. Otec pronajal kus stareho pole od p. Toma ge Ellika. Ten rok byl neobyeejne suchk a ja nepamatu ji, aby zde v okresu bylo tak diouho bez degte jako ten role Kukufice jsme vgak udelali dosti pro naafi pottebu. Hli1e bylo s bavinou. V nove zemi a p11 takovem suchu byla firoda baviny mala. V ge by vgak bylo uglo, nebYt neatest', je g nas potkalo. ICidyg jsme byli vgichni v poli na sbirani baviny, chytil se na g domek od gpatne upraveneho kominu a shotelo vge do zakladii vge co bylo uvnitt. Na hage ni nebylo ani pomygleni, nebot' za panujiciho sucha byl nedostatek vody.

Ztratili jsme v ge krome toho co jsme meli na sob& Negli jsme zaeali znovu, sousede nam vypomohli jak kterk mohi a my a chuti zacali ptipravovat zemi k dalsi &ode, a druhk rok ji g byl lepgi.

Ve ttetim race na geho bydleni v okresu Burleson jsem ji g musel delat hospodate, nebot' otec zaeal vyueovat ye gkole Novk Tabor, a u611 tam nekolik let.

On nikdy nemel velkou zalibu ye farmateni a kdy prestal tteit, tedy si nagel misto prodavade v obchode v Caldwell.

Tak ptipa.dlo vedeni celeho hospodaistvi rime, ae mlad gi bratr m5 pfi vgem dosti vypornahal.

Asi roku 1882 jsem se pfidal ku 6tenatskemu spolku, zv. "Moravan" v Novem Tabore, kterk tam meli na gi krajane jig deli eas zalo genk.

nichg se konaly vcne, debaty spolkovkch bratrti, jako byli Hugo Chotek, Tomag KrajOa, st., Eng. Polack, Frank Kadanka st., Petr Mikeska a rnnoho jinkch .To byla pro mne Skala pro celk givot. Potadala se 1 divadla, taneeni zabavy a m. j., nebot' spolek si byl postavil svou vlastni sin, ye ktere se vge konalo. Nesmi si nikdo myslet ,ge se ze mne, p11 dteni v gelikYch romant a povidek stal nejakk samotat. Pti vgem tom jsem se sezndmil s nekkm, lido mel pro mne vets' cenu nee vgecky knihy a spolky dohromady.

Byla to dcera na geho souseda Josefa besty, Rosalie, s nig jsem ;se jig' delSi dobu znal, dohodli jsme se tuto pozemskou pout' spoleene konat. Dne 43. za•i 1883 jsme slavili nagi svatbu. "de se zdat divnkm, mladik ne zpina 20-letk a divka ani ne 17-leta, se ji g odvagili na tu boutlivou cestu givotni, a ptece se tak stale a my jsme zde dosud a v roku 1933, jsme slavili 501ete. ykroei nageho snatku, — zlatou svatbu, A nyni ntico o tech slastech a starostech, jeg jsme za tu dobu 50 let zagili.

Zaeali jsme farmatit na naVem pozemku meho tchana, kterk jsme si asi za 2 roky od nej koupili. Bylo toho asi 40 akru. Pak jsem ale poznal, ge tu nebude pro nag gadna budoucnost, a tudi g asi po 5 letech jsem prodal a koupil 80 akrii asi 8 mil jihozapadne od okresniho mesteeka Cald well. Opet to byla hold prerie. Tu opet zaealo to, eemu se tiko, radostne farmateni: Obydli stavet, padu pro pti gti nrodu ptipravit, cog jsem vge delal s pomoci mangelky, ktera, umela s potahem jezdit, orat, vladet a i p11 tesatske praci mi pomahala, nebot' na najmuti temeslnikil nebylo penez a ona p11 opatrovani etyt ditek a vedeni domacnosti v ge vkge uvedena delala. Byly to pro nas tenkrate trp Ice easy. Pamatuji, ge jsem si tenkrat vyptifeil $150 na 10 procent firoku a vgalo nam to 7 balti baviny to zaplatit, nebot' cena baviny byla tak nizka, ge nam na luxus nic nezbylo. Ale gettili a ye vgem se uskrovnili, jen abychom se udrgeli, snad bude lepe, ae hladu jsme pfi vgem torn . nikdy nezakusili. Pokraeovali jsme jak se za tech pomerti pti to 4- a -5 centove bavine dale. Sna gili jsme se co nejvice potreb pro domacnost sami vypestovat. Na tech 80 akrech jsme bydleli 4 roky a jeliko g nam rodiny pribkvalo, videl jsem, ge budeme pottebovat vets' farmu. Proto jsem onech 80 alma prodal a koupil hned vedle 200 akril, zase hole prerie. A zase se opakovalo co jsme jig dvakrat pied tim pro gili. Ale rika se, ge do ttetice v geho dobreho. Zaeali jsme tedy zase obydli stavet, prerii prolamovat a vge jine, 6eho je na zhola novom pozemku zapottebi. Opet jsme to delali jen sami dva, ja, s man gelkou, a pak nam

Our Heritage Our heritage is best understood by a study of the things that the ordinary folk of America have done and thought and dreamed. This chapter of the bulletin is of remind us of their labor and clear vision.

The first Czech immigrants sought religious freedom on these shores in the seventeenth century. The great wave of immigration from Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia did: not begin, however, until in 1848. The people's revolution against the Habsburg dynasty having failed, a number of the unsuccessful young revolutionists fled to America.

Here they chartered the course of action for thousands of others who followed in ever increasing numbers to escape economic poverty and foreign rule.

Most of the young leaders were not money-minded, but invested their energy instead in cultural and educational values. A good example is Vojta Naprstek, who founded a newspaper in the United States and who for a decade took an active part in his countrymen's cultural development in the new land.

Returning to Prague, he devoted the rest of his life to opening windows to a new breath of freedom, as he had experienced it in America. Naprstek was a great believer in exchange of ideas and his prosperous home became the meeting place of the most liberal men and women of his country. He was also an ardent champion of suffrage for women. His "American Club" was the first of its kind in Bohemia; even after his death it continued for another halfcentury, inspiring a kinship with America not only of blood but also of thought.

When Czechoslovakia finally came into being in 1918, it was the realization of a nation's long quest for freedom; her citizens were found ready mentally and emotionally for a: democratic way of life. Women were given full rights , not only by the constitution but in practice as well. There were women doctors, lawyers, business administrators, and senators. The rights of the individual were fully respected by law and by man. The dream became reality.

In the process, America too was enriched by the young fervor and energy of the newcomers who had come here to put their dreams to the test.

America is made of toil and dreams; the Czechs and Slovaks gave their full share of both.

People-to-people Program %len o fMany Origins Lead the Nationalities Committee of the PeopleTo-People Program

Executive Board Constituted; Temporary Offices Set Up The Executive Board of the Nationalties Committee of the People-to-People Program recently held its first meeting in New York City, presided over by Col. John Slezak and Judge Juvenal Marehisio, the national co-chairmen.

Mr. Valuchek was elected secretary of the executive board, and Mr. Andrew P. Maloney, vice president of Bankers Trust Company, accepted the post of treasurer.

Associate director of the Common Council, Yaroslav J. Chyz, formerly editor of a Ukranian-American newspaper, was apponited executive director of the Nationalities Committee, and. Mr. Joseph Jordan was appointed public relations consultant.

Since the appointment of Col. Slezak and Judge Marchisio last September by President Eisenhower as co-chairmen of the Nationalities Committee in the People-to-People movement, outstanding organizational work has been done to coordinate efforts of the two score American nationality groups in prom pting better understanding of America among their kinsmen abroad, and, at the same time, in fostering friendship between Americans and the peoples of their countries of origin.

Read Lewis, August Steuer and Andrew Valuchek serve on the committee on charter and bylaws.

The executive board approved plans for immediate action, which will concentrate on organizing People-to-People committees in each of the nationality groups, and will also include a campaign in the foreign language press to acquaint as many of our foreign-born citizens and their descendants as possible with the objectives and methods of the movement. ) If you hear a fellow who always says more about any subject than anyone else around him, he is either a politician or more ignorant than his cornpan ions.

Who Are "They? " We all have a way of saying "they say" this or that of some person or some thing and accepting it ourselves as authentic when someone says "they say" to us.

But if we stopped to inquire into the exact source of the information, either we would be unable to trace it back to anyone other than that elusive individual "they say," or we will find back of it the unkind gossip of some enemy.

And just because "they say" fails to put the blame of a falsehood on any one person's shoulders it really is the most dangerous of statement's and one of the hardest to refute.

So let us beware of believing "they say" stories. Let us treat lightly all gossip introduced by the words "they say."

Or if this, gossip makes us suspicious of its object—and it is natural and huran that it should at times--let us suspend judgment until we KNOW. In other wards, let us doh the object of "they say" the justice to investigate until we find someone who is in a position from actual knowledge and whom we can trust to make a positive statement over his own name as to the truth or falsity of • the "they say" story. ) et. • LOUISE STUDENT GET HIGH MUSIC HONOR

WHARTON. — Alice Sablatura. of Louise was acclaimed this week by fellow students as the "outstanding music student" in the Wharton County Junior College.

Her name will be engraved on a plaque which is kept in the college trophy case. It was presented to the music department several years ago by the Wharton Lions Club, for recognition to the distinguished student in each graduating class.

This newest honor is one of many Miss Sablatura has received this year. A few weeks ago she was chosen "Miss Future Teach" of the college by fellow students; she was awarded a speech letter as a member of the state junior college championi,hip women's debate team; she is assistant editor of the college year book, and active in class affairs. She plans to complete her music studies at Sam Houston State College.

THE OLD AND Ti TE NEW ORDER In 1776, for the first time in the history of the world, a group of men dared to state a philosophy based on the innate divinity of the individual, and to rear upon it a political edifice.

For the first time it was stated that man was a creature of God, that he posSe&-ed certain unalienable rights and that,among these were life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that governments were created by men and that men could destroy them if they so desired and replace them with governments more to their liking. For the first time the individual person was regarded as rthe master of the state and not the slave and creature of government.

This was the New Order of the Ages.

It was radically revolutionary, and it defied all previous human history. Since 17 76 this phiosophy has been the pattern fur other brave people.

Regimentation of people is as old as civilization. From the days of the Pharaohs through the bloody annals of Tamerlane, people have been regimented, regulated and forced to serve the dictates of government. no trick to regiment people. You do it by force. Anybody who disagrees you •execute or, in modern terminology, "liquidate." The Old Order is regimentation, and regulation. The New Order nfreedom and individual responsibility.

Communism, Nazism, Fascism, Socialism, and all other such "isms" have one common feature: in each, the individual is, always subordinated to the state.

Power comes from above not from those who are governed. Freedom of the press, religion, assemblage, petition and the rest are subject to the control and caprice of th,e rulers. This is the Old Order—even if, it is being advocated in the 20th Century.

We have recently observed the Old Order in action when the tanks and troops of the. Soviet Union slaughtered the Hungarian patriots in a bloodbath in Budapest.

Though the weapons were different, the tedinique was the same as that used

by Alexander the Great, Nero, Alaric the Goth, Genghis Hhan, Ivan the Terrible. the Duke of Alva and Adolph Hitler., Today the words "conservative" and "liberal" are used so loosely that they have lost value as yardstocks by which to measure human behavior. People hstening to politicians can very easily get confused, but not if they think of No,vus Ordo. Seclorum while the person is speaking. .

One of the fantastic developments in

American politics, is that a certain group who favor a bigger and more powerful central government, socialized medicine, socialized industry, social security from the cradle to the grave, and government controls and regulation of every facet of our lives call themselves liberals and get away with it.

Yet almost every program which they and others of their stripe espouse means more government control, more regimentation and less freedom for the individual. If we follow their lead, will we maintain and strengthen the New Order of the Ages, or will we return to the regimentation which characterized the past?

In essence don't they all stand for more rules, for more ' regulations, for more regimentation for more government control and for less individual responsibility and freedom? No matter what they say, aren't they going backwards? Won't they eventually end up with a "big brother" government to take care of all our activities?

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution which put into law the fundamental principles which were embodied in that declaration bluntly stated that man could take care of himself and that government should only enter into thoSe areas where the individual could not satisfactorily cope with the problem.

To a philosopher the intellectual arrogance of the professional liberals is asto ending. They are as intolerant and intemperate as the high priests of the Ancient Egyptian God of Ra. Furthermore, their advice, if followed, would eventually lead the American people back to the chains of government servitude.

The philosopher today is also amused by the,fact that those who most vigor•usly champion the basic tenets of the Declaration of Independence and the New Order of the Ages are now scurrilously referred to as "reactionaries."

The minute a politician opposes some government giveaway program, some government intrusion on. individual responsibility, sonic plan for regulation or contrel he is Worked over by the liberals as being a man who has no Vision. The defenders of the faith today have a hard time combatting the propaganda barrage of those who claim they are looking forward while in reality they are, walking backwards.

Certainly nothing is more true than that everything on the face of this earth has a limit to its existence. This applies to people, 'institutions, and golf-

ernments. Whether or not a person or an institution lives to the limit ordained by destiny, however, depends to some extent upon its own conduct. A person can shorten his life span by irresponsible actions and by reckless behavior. By the same token governments can shorten their existence by du:lat.:lag from the fundamental principles upon they were founded. Any society which recklessly abandons the tenets which made it great is pursuing a course of national suicide. ∎ • 6• SPJST REST HOME The Charter The SPJST Rest Home charter specifies the purpose of the organization: "The purposes for which this corporation is created shall be to provide assistance, charity and relief for aged persons of both sexes by acquisition of land for the construction of appropriate buildings, and by providing the necessary funds for the complete operation, maintenance, extension, and addition of and to such home for the aged; and to provide personal and custodial care, incident to old age and infirmity, in such a manner as e to give most comfort, sheltered care, privacy, emotional stability, and happiness to aged people, such assistance and relief being limited to persons of advanced age not suffering from serious illness at time of admission, and not including medical care and treatment except in the case of minor, temporary illness; and to employ a sufficient number of competent personnel for adequate nursing care, food service, personal, occupational and activity needs of the residents, according to the standards, requirements and goals of first class homes for the aged, however named; and all available voluntary financial contributions and assistance from the public in order to carry out the objectives and purposes herein set forth and more fully outlined in the by-laws of the corporation. which shall operate on a non-profit basis." ) • 49 •(-It might be worth while to think about saving the lives of some of the children who are killed by automobiles.

This is the schedule of Game for the second half, and we will play every Wednesday Night at Samuel's Diamond No. 2 Jim Scoggins, our pitcher, hurled a very good game Wednesday night, allowing only 5 hits, 3 walks and striking out 5 batters. The large total of 7 errors were a great contributing factor in the 4 to 2 loss. I will say this though, that everybody was really trying; possibly too hard which resulted in allowing 2 unearned runs. Our team also was pressing at bat and we didn't get enough hits and runs to win. Wilbur munger caught the whole game. Leading hitters with single safties were: Albin (Bino) Vrana, JameS Wortman, Jim Scoggins and Joe Jai%)lik who drove in our two runs.

Jack Moffitt and Raymond Smith each got on base by getting walks. It was still an exciting game as our team rallied for 2 runs in the bottom of the 7th inning and two runners were left stranded on bases as the final out was made. With a stroke of luck, in form of

V t 8 T Ni K — WEST, TEXAS

a base hit, we might haVe won the game.

We will have to try that much harder i to win all our remaining games in the 2nd half to remain in contention for the league champioship. I know the players aill be in there trying to do their best and that'S all we can eXpect of them.

We had a very large turnout of friends and members at the game and we were truly glad to see so many of you at the game rooting for the team. Hope you all will continue your faithful attendance for the last half of the season. After the game, a group of the players, their wives and children and some of the fans got together at a Drive Inn and enjoyed a few "pivos" and soft drinks and replayed the game we had just lost.

Thursday night, May 30th, we played a practice game with the 49th Tank Btn. team and we came out on the short end of a 10 to 6 ball game. Several of our regulars could not make the game, but our reserves gave a good account of themselves and we almost came out victorious. Incidentally for the Second half of play, we also play on Monday nights in the Dallas City Major League, plus our regular Wednesday night League. This will give us a better chance., to let all the players play as we have 17 team members currently on our roster. The other teams in our league will be Woodard Motors, Browne Window and 49 Tank Batallion plus our SFJST team. With all the rain we have been having this season, it is almost impossible to get a diamond to practice on or a practice game at night, so we are more or less forced to play in another league to give all the players a chance to play. Our first game scheduled in our Monday Night League will be Monday, June 17th and our opponent will be Woodard motors, game time 7:30 p. m. at Lawnview, No. 1, just off Seyene Road.

Double Taxation Destructive Ever since 1918, the United States revenue laws have contained what is known as the foreign tax credit. The purpose of this provision is to relieve U. S. businesses operating abroad from double taxation—that is, the payment of U. S. income taxes on top of :foreign: income taxes on the same income. is available ta any citizen or corpora,-' tin doing business abroad or deriving income from abroad. It is obviously necessary if business is to be protected from a burden of taxation so crushing that foreign operations would become excessively difficult and perhaps impossible, thus destroying incentive for American businessmen to go , abroad and lend the strength of the American 'eco-' nomy to underdeveloped areas.

But now the foreign tax credit is der attack. That attack is specifically directed at American enterprise producing oil in Saudi Arabia — oil which is vital to the defense and securit•::of•: the U. S. as well as the whole free What would happen should this 'at tack succeed? Facts show that an 'oil company concerned, in every year :in which it has paid Saudi Arabia income, taxes, has paid more income taxes than: it would have had to pay the U. B. Treasury if it had conducted the same, business with the same profit in the U. S. If, in addition to these Saudi Ara,:`' bian taxes, the U. S. laws had required it to pay a U. S. income tax on what was left, the company would have borne' a far heavier income tax load than than would a comparable business in the U. S. Under existing laws the U. Si': Treasury derives substantial revenues-1' from the taxes levied on the dividends:: of this company and on the dividends to stockholders of the corporations OWning it.

American influence and activity zi , world economic developments Would dwindle and wither at inestimable damage to ourselves and our allies without such credits. The way would be open for communist economic expansion on a vast scale.

Thursday night, our leading hitters were Adolph Janecka, Daryl Griser and Henry Miller with single Safties. Getting on base via walks were Ted. Dusek with 3 each, Albin Vrana with 2 each and Frank Mach, James Wortman, Adolph Janecka, Joe Jarolik, Henry Miller and Jack Moffitt with one walk.

Six errors were committed which were a contributing factor to the opponents scoring of several runs. Frank Mach hurled, a creditable game allowing six hits, 5 walks and striking out 7 batters. With better support afield, we should have won the game for our pitcher.

Since both of our children are grown and don't drill any more I don't go there very often on drill nights. Joyce and Jo Ann Hubenak were drilling the very young one and they do a marvelous job of it. They also drill the Junior girls.

Dentists call the condition periodontal disease. It involves the layer of tissue covering the root of the tooth and lining the wall of the tooth socket in the jaw bone.

Failure to use the toothbrush in the right way and at the right time is a principal factor in the breakdown of gum tissues, Comdr. Holmes said.

Bone destruction accompanying periodontal disease was found in 97 per cent of persons between the ages of 41 and 45 in one study, he reported. In another, bone loss was found to exist in 85 per cent of persons in a 36-to 45year age group.

The Navy dentist deplored the night and morning tooth lirnening habit, pointing out tIn2t food debris and tartar build up foam the morning brushing progressively at each meal until bedtime.

Protection for Arthritics Existence of a watchdog committee to help protect arthritis sufferers from being exploited by quacks was announced

by Dr. L. Maxwell Lockie of Buffalo at the American Rheumatism Association meeting in Chicago. This was the first public announcement of the committee.

The committee, set up by the association, works with the U. S. Food and Dcug Administration. It gathers evidence required by law to develop a case that will hold up in the courts against a misbranded drug or device sold as a cure or a treatment for arthritis al d rheumatism.

Members of the committee do this through controlled clinical evaluations to show by objective criteria that the products in question have no value.

"There is no cure for arthritis," Dr. Lockie said. "We doctors in the field of arthritis know of none. Every person with the disease should be very suspicious of any remedy or procedure that is advertised or represented as being a cure for the disease.

"Many new and worthwhile drugs do appear from time to time as a result of extensive research in the field. But even these drugs, potent as some of them may be, are not cures for arthritis. At hest, and when used properly by a physician, they will do little more than lessen the pain, stiffness, and discomR,rt associated with the disease."

Among the many examples of quack cures and bogus remedies, now out of business, listed by Dr. Lockie, were: 1.. A pair of metal plates, one of copper - and the other of zinc, to be worn inside -a person's socks and which supposedly set up an electrical current that Was to benefit the arthritis sufferer.

2. A packages product of natural vegetation that on its label claimed it was good for rheumatic aches and pains.

Analysis of the product proved it was nothing more than peat the promoter was digging from a peat bog near his home.

3. Mineral water sold at $20 a gallon on the West Coast for arthritis treatment. Analysis proved 'it was a bit of the Pacific Ocean with a dash of potassium lodide.—Science News Letter. ) • c • (Terminus

On Sunday afternoon, June 3, at 3 p.m. Chicago Americans of Czechoslovak descent drove out to Lidice:, near Joliet, Illinois, to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of a war event and at the same time to proclaim their invincible faith in freedom. The Chicago, District of the Czechoslovak National Council of America, a central representative body of American organizations and American members of Czechoslovak descent, holds, an annual pilgrimage to Lidice, named after the small town near Prague wiped out by the Nazis.

This year a large turnout is expected and a program at the Lidice monument is planned. The grounds have been put in order, grasS planted, wreaths are made ready. The main speaker will be Or. Francis Sehwarzenberg, who fled communist tyranny several years ago and is now teaching at Loyola. Mr. Alois Kopecky, resident of Hollywood, Ill., president of the Chicago district office, will lay the wreath and will conduct the ceremonies; 15 years ago the unveiling was attended by the late Marshall Field and the late Wendell Wilkie and many other dignitaries and by a crowd of 8000 persons. Chorus of Czechoslovak Women in Exile Club, member of Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs, will perform.

Lidice has gone down into history as the Czech town the Nazis razed in an effort to wipe out the underground and to instill fear in the population: The men and boys were .shot and the women were separated from their children and deported to labor camps in Germany.

To 01-M11aize the deed; the Nazis announced to the world that the name Lidice is never to appear and that the citizens of Lidice are not to. be heard of again.

Thus - Lidice became the clarion call to the free world, a challenge to free peoples everywhere to defeat Nazism. In the United States, in a great public demonstration, Americans of Czechoslovak descent bestowed the name Lidice to a new war community near Joliet.

When the war finally came to a victorious end, a search committee was organized immediately by the CzechOsloyak government to look for the children the Nazis had dragged off to Germany, changing their names and obliterating deliberately all trace of them.

Only a small number of the children was found; and some of the women, who had managed to survive, also returned. It then became a national duty to help them' start a new life, alone,

childless , and homeless. The Czechoslovak government began rebuilding the town on the old site,, and there was a plan to make it a modern AmericanLike village.

Unfortunately, the communiAs took over the country in February, 1948; in the last nine years they have clone their utmost to make Lidice a "model communist community." Bo called international "peace" delegations make pilgrimages to Lidice, bringing rums for the Lidice Peace Park. The town council is headed by avowed commuhicst.

So the Lidice citizens in Czechoslovakia are not free, and again, s in the war years, Lidice USA will...,11-rnain symbol as long as Lidice, Czechoslovakia is not free. Americans of CZechosloyak descent turn to the small American community, Lidice, as a symbol of free)•

YOUR HEALTH—FATS IN THE DIET

There are many false conceptions concerning diet, and one :atlas to do with fats.

Some people think fats arc not healthy , and should be avoided. It is commonplace for people wishing to reduce in weight to attempt to follow totally fat-free diets.

The weight of present day medical evidence is against this coneopt. The exact role of fat in the diet has not yet been fully defined. But the dieticians now know that fat is both desirable and necessary to health whether body weight is to be reduced or not.

Fats contribute to the processes of growth and replacement of tissue. They are an important source of calories.

And, of no small moment, they make foods more inviting and better tasting.

A common sense, authoritative appraisal of the subject of fats in the diet appeared in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, written by Dr. Charles D. May of Iowa City. He urged caution in setting arbitrary levels for the amounts of animal or vegetable fats we consume. He stated that the current situation is surrounded by lack of knowledge, incomplete research, and the threat of "exploitation by selfish interests or undue emotion and competitiveness among investigators." He also said: "The problem of obesity is separate from the determination of the proper use of fat in the diet for the promotion of sound nutrition .. . It is obviously unwise and unnecessary to exclude fats from the diet, and even if desirable would no doubt be virtually impossible."

Here is a sound rule-of-thumb that every householder can profitable follow: If your fire insurance has been in effect for a number of years without review or revision , it's an odds on bet that you are seriously under insured.

Since 1945, the statistics , show, the cost of home building has just about doubled. So, if your home fire insurance Policy dates back to that or some comparable time, you can imagine what could happen to your pocketbook if fire strikes.

What is true of the home itself i, 'true of practically everything inside of it.

For instance, the cost of household furniture, women's clothing and dinnerware — items found in every home — has more than doubled since 1940. The cost of washing and sewing machines has almost doubled. A similar inflation in the cost of "little things" like books and bedding and curtains and so on has taken place. These little things add up to a surprisingly big total when an accurate inventory is made.

The remedy is for every householder to consult his local insurance agent and bring his coverage up to date. In many cases the householder will find, to his pleasure, that adequate insurance may not cost him much more with a new combined or single policy than he is now paying for inad:equate insurance through two or more separate polices.

One of the best ways to improve your: town is by giving the children a better' chance than ever to 'become men and women of character. ka Band --- Battle Dance -- SPJST Hall in Buckholts Monday, June 10 1 mil Bartos orchestra — Free Wedding, Dance — Fairground Hall in .,L Grange Rudy Kurtz orchestra — Wedding Dance KJT Hall in Praha Henry Broach orchestra — Plainview Community Center near El Campo All the above dances are at night im-. less otherwise specified.

SKRIVA'\ JINDidd( Ii S. SAAR. -,72at 7.1USSMIEMNIEN

Pokraeovani.

"Pout', nepout'! Chleb nas vezdyjk je prednijk , neZ tancour," vadil se vYmenkai pri etede, kdyt hlasila hospodyne, ze deveCka Utel?, na pout' hned rano, to ani neurnyla nadobi po snidani.

Sktivankovi 'fines nechtunal ani nedeka obed, ani si ted' nemohl po nem zdtinmcut v sade pod hruSkou. Stale se rnu v hlave prevalo yaly vSelijake mySlenky, ha i tajemne strachy jako by se na nej kradly. Venku bylo parno i ye stinu stalete plane hru gky, nmuchy a komari vrhali se laene na dedouSe, takte makl vytahnout z kaosy 'Satek a prikryt si jim oblieej. Vstal koneene mrzu, to a Sel do stodoly, kde sedel mlady na Spalku a delal pilne "Cak sem jich.' eke malo navazal?" optal se nevrle, maje zlost,- te se mu hospacial' plete do vYmenkarske prate.

"Ravi hajt' nam jich kopa zbyde, net haby jedno scho.zelo. Nemaar zrovna nic chytrijkho na praci, tak sem si k tomu sed do chladku," usnial se syn, hlede na otce, jak ,Si S ill nese z rezarny stolioku, na ktere naklepavafkosy, aby mu pomohl.

Stark Skrivanek ySak neupletl mandel povrisel, kdyk se celYm Borovnem ozvalo vireni obecniho bubnu a hnect za nim zunatene vYkriky: je to tu!"

"Bur° vojna, bure!"

"Mobilisaci."

Oba Sktivankove vyskoeili a padili pies dvdr rovnou k vratiun. Tam, ut stala BlarkYta s nejmiladSim klouekern na ruce, jeden ,ge ji drtel za sukni a dva vybthli sami pied staveni.

Obecni stratnik zastavil se prave pied nimi, kde valycky poeinal ohlaSovat vie cky Aredni rozkazy a narizeni — nestal tam vSak sam. Stal tam i pan purkmistr a pili nem neznamy pan, kterY — sotvate ztichl buben, mohutnYm hlasem preeetl zdrcujiici zpravu, ze Rakousko vypovedelo Srbsku valku a vSichni zalotnici aby se dostavili behem osmaetyriceti hodin k svemu pluku.

Pod starYm Sktivankern po prve v Zivote se rortrasly nohy, takle se mush optiti o pflir mohutnYch vrat. MarkYtka nevedouce pros se dala do place, deti piakaly s ni a MatonS stal tu bledY jako krida, nebot' on jeke piny rok patill do svazu rakouske armddy jako reservista plzenskeha pluku.

"Tutoho sem se nenadal," vzpaniato-

val se prvni Skrivanek. "Nestujme tu ha pod'rre se poradit do send."

Tam zasedl do ruohu za start', javorovY stul, nohy oprel o dubovou trnot a chvili se dival do prazdna. Jeho vlastni vojna v SestaSedesatem, bitva u Vysokova a u Nachoda, smrt jeho otce matky, Mufti drake teny, nejtetSi rariy tahly mu hlavou, tadna vSak nezdala se mu tak tetkau, jako nahlY odchod IVIatouStrv. Mozkem se mu kmitaly jako bleSky rtizne napady, jak a 'elm zachraniti syna. Ma poraditi, .aby utekl? Ale kam..? Ma mu Mei, aby se vyplatil? Ale kde a jak? Ma mu rid, aby se radeji -tined zmrzaeil? Na to ut je pozde. Potrestali by jej hut, net ho potresta vojna sama.

"Dyt' tam nejdu sam! MuSime tam Sichni! Plaeem se nic nespravi," slySii vyinenar jako ve snu a jako v mite vidi Mateo S : e, jak drti v naruei a test ji: Dyt' tu nebureS vopuStena. Ma§ tu piece tatu."

To slovo hnulo ,Sktivankem.

"Pravdu mak MatouSi. — Nesmime leko ztratit hlavu. Rukovat rnuSiS, tadpomoc neni. Jd teky rukoval ha chea sne se. vratil demti. Hani vlasek se mi tam nezkrivil."

"Vy ste bul svobodnyj, hale von ma tudle kyry deti," rozplak.ala se znovu MarkYta. "Prdve proto se vrati! Ty deti s tebou si musi vymodlit, haby ho na vojne nezabili," prisne, tvrde rekl vYrnenkar a pokracoval: "Vo nas, milyj Martine, nemej tddnou starost! My to 'Seek° bet tebe potlaei, jak to pure. Svezein s poll hourodu, zasijem ha zatim se vratiS'. Dyjt' v 'SestaSedesitYm race za Strnact dni bulo po vojne. DV' to hani nemitte trvat, protote dnes mail &Ste vic kanorra ha zbrani lijakyjch, net milt tenkrat. Dokajt' nehuzavrou mir, to eke pravda musi stat w.,,jsko ye zbrani. Tak to mute trvat, Pekneme moe, do vanoc!"

"JetiS Maria — Do vanoc!" zalomila rukama mladd Lena.

"Na vanoce se k nam vratiA, buret-li moudryj, na sebe vopartnyj ha nepotlaCIS se sam, kam. te tadnyj neposila. Pamatuj si, te katda kulka netrefi ha to oficiri sou prvni, co se skovaji."

Po chvili uz pribehl scary Zahorik a jako vtdy pustil se do ,Skrivanka: "Ha ty'jeren mudrlante! reko to mame! Vojta je tu ha ty si si furt Thal, nebure."

"Dyt' eke v posledni chvili se mu2ou humoudrit," vytahoval se z pasti vYmenkar. "Tutu S . 'eclw eke neni vojna. To sou jenom pripravy na ni. Eete se netrili!

Tu not nespal nikdo po celem Borovn.. Cetnici prochazeli mesteekem a narizovali, te vkchni povolani do zbrane musi vyjeti z Bolovna rannim vlakem do Plzne.

Zenske skladaly do eernych kufrikti jako do rakvieek s yYm mutton a syntim Saty i pradlo, zadelavaly na buchty, pekly jim na cestu kousek masa a solily to jidlo vic Slzami net soli.

Ve vymenici sedel .sedlak Matou g proti svemu otei. Ukazoval mu kontribuent knitky, nay, zpovidal se mu, kde je co dluten a u koho co ma, kdy se oteli moura a kdy plavka, komu zaProdal jeeTren a kde objednal "moueku" na pole a louky. "Naposled vim vorevzcilvam, co mi na svete nejmilejkho, tenes detma —" ukoneoval mladY Secllak. Tu se mu zl'amil hlas a dale nemohl. Zat'al horejSi zuby do dolejkho pysku, ramena se mu zatrasla a obema rukama podeprer si hlavu. Skubal jim Veeerni Sera tlaeilo se oknem do svetnieky.

VYmenkar zakYval hlavou a namahaye vstal. Jako by mu nalil ova do nohot'. Soural se ke sve truhle. Oteviel ji a podeprel tetke viko pritruhlim. Sahl do ni at na dno a vytahl z ni malt' balfeek, kterY polozil na sttil a pail jej pomalu rozbalovati. Prsty se mu znatelne chvely, kdyt rozvazoval cipy stareho, hedvalmeho, hodne ut otiipeneho kitku, jak nosivali nak muti kolem krku.

"Tu vopatruju pomatku na mho tdtu ha tvYho derka," kaki rozvatne, kdyZ povolily uzly. Zatrepal k'dkem a z neho vypadly dva kusy pretr%eneho tetazu klanieniku. "Tuto sem te eke nevokazal ha nepovedel, co 'Co ieko povim. VidiS ten retez?"

"Vidirn, tato. Je to houvinik."

"Neni to hovinik, ten je kraei. Klanienik je to."

"Jd videi jenom ptillku."

"Vobe pulley t yorily jeren r'etez. Tu s tim retezem svazali husaii neboitika tatu, dyt tu jednou letili na exekuci. Bul sem chlapec jako palec, hale pomatuju si to, jako by to dries bulo.

Husati se vratili s pomoci ha chtili tatu rozsekat.

Tata-se jim postavil se sekYrou v ruce, krik: `Pojdte, esli chceter ha Zadnyj se hani nehnoul. Takuvou silu mail Kicivankove, dyZ jim de vo Zivot. Ty ji teky mat.

Slib mi to, MatouSi!" "Slibuju," vstal ted' mlady hospodar a stiskl otci ruku. "karnen se nine spad," rozhovoril se znovu vYmenkar. "Tu mi nee° povida," ukazal si rukou na srdce, "te se vratiS tak, jako se tvuj derek vratil z Netalije ha jako ja sem se vratil vod KralovYho Hradce." — Vice spolu nepromluvili. Matou'S rano odejel zena ho vyprovodila, otec vsak kosou na rameni kradel na Petoutku Lekat jeemen. Musil si na neeem vylit vSechnu bolest i horkost, ktera mu zaplavovala cele nitro. .XV. C' tvrte vanoce valeene ut davno minuly a vYmenkar Skrivanek se vyhYbal' staremu Zahorikovi jak eert ."Hdy pa but ta vojna verne konec?" valYchali lide na potkani a Zahorik ni' ktdy neopominul na to rici: "To se mu'site voptat Krivankouc stryjeka. Nad toho proroka neni!"

"Cak vo ni prorokuje?" jak zaela, predpovedel, te do 1:(1noe skonei. Jenoon ze zapomil feet, do keryjch."

Tak si to Skrivanek opravdu nepredstaVoval Chodil ut jako zmamenY, aekoii pied MarkYtou delal hrdinu. "Nununu!" tesil ji, kdyt to na ni obeas sedlo pooala vyvadet. "Ty jedna, ty! Cak nc is, ze nasi predkove piezili tricitiletou vojnu? Tak dlouho tuta piece nepotrva."

"Pro Boha, tato! Meet let dyby to milo trvat, raei se nechci videt na ,sjete."

"Cot vo to!" usmal se starec. "Ty nebottici se majl'iako vopravdu lepsi net my. Hale cak by tomu rikaly tvY deti?

Ha MatouS, hat se vrati? NeviS, te ste mir slibili este diveieku? Ja pa bys nem mohla humrit ha nespinit, corn mi slimluvil, tertobila.?" •VYmenkar val, sam vSak dobre citil, jak ubYva ohne, vSecko ze zni jaksi mdle, nejasrie, a kdyt se octl sam a sam ve sve svetniece, sepial ruce a zcela malomyslne Septal: "Pane Bote, ja pa to s narna se vAema skonal?"

'Z' e ma syna v ruskem zajeti, vyridili mu saint eetnici a zle se na neho od te doby mraeili.

gle hejtman jiste setninu •ojakft, obsadi Borovno a vypleni je hod neZ Zvectove. A zase on, purkmistr to bude, kterY s nimi musi dam pd domu. Ani se mu nechtelo z radnice .domt a ani nepozoroval, Ze uz v gichni oclegli a ze tu sedi sam a sam.

XVI. Dny se Amorne vlekly. V Borovne paean sekat a eekali na hrornobiti, ktere jim viselo nad hlavou. Hejtmanstvi urputne mIeelo, icC prave z toho rrileeni gel nejvetgi strach. Jenom ten, kdO zavinil to cele nove nebezpeei. start' sktivanek, ten chodil °pet s hlavou vztyeenou jako tenkrat, kclyZ vymohl peed hely mesteeku nadraZi. Jezdil si k nemu az z Prahy nejakY pan rada pro mleko a brambory, firmagel mu za ne nejen tabaZek, ale r noviny. Ty noviny,tiskli nekde al ye Franell a prece byly eeske a jako! A pan rada to je gte weer vYmenka •i v jeho sVetniece inezi etyrma alma v gccko jak vysvettil , osolil a opepril, takle se Skrivanek pl.i tech zpravach jen olizoval.

Pak uZ i na ge denni listy se jaksi osmelily a psaly tak prithlecly, Ze nebyl11 zrovna pytlem pragtenY, sil si yypoeitat, ze to s Raltouskem a jeho spojenci jde od peti k ety •em, I vojaekove, co se vraceli na dovolenbu, zpivali o valce podivne pisnieky, schovavali se, eetnici je sice hledali, ale take jejich horlivost velice polevila.

Vgichni pojednou citili, ze nade gel zaeatek konce. V py gne statni budove poCabo to podezkele praskat, objevily 'se i v zakladech pod ni trhliny, jako paVueina, nikdo si jich dlouho nev gimal, ted' vgak se rychle gaily i dlouzily, otrocke race snaZily se sice je gte podchytit pocleprit a kle gtemi stahnout, ale ta =me.

Kdo ,mohl, hledel se spasiti iitekein, aby nenti-iel v zriceninach predeasnY hrob. Vojaci prchali z italske i neitiecke fronty a vypraveli o zkaze, ktera se tam Borovnem projely dva vojenske autoinobily pine delostreleil. Ujadeli z nemecke armady pies Bavory do tech.

Zastavili pied hospodou a za bochnik chleba tam prodavali pu gky, remeni, bodla a vedli rein, aZ vlasy na hlave vsta valy. Pribehl k nim i start' Sktivanek, prohliZel si ohromne vozy, proti nlinZ byl "antonobil", ye kterem jej Travnieek vozil Prahou, detskYrn voziekern, prohliZel si i vojaky, poslouchal, mleel vgak a nekupoval. LeZela mu na srdci ohronma starost a tlaella jej jako balvan. "Matoug !" to otazka seciela mil na leha.la. rtech, vstavala s nim A uddlosti valily se prekotnou rychlosti, — V Praze vypukla revoluce a rozlila se jako povoderi ad k hranionim hotu nas strhavali dvouhlave orram.
