Sestry a bratri Jest zicejmo, z e nagi krajany kteri se neday no siteastnili navStevy stare vlasti, pro razne prieiny, ktere kaZdY uznati, neciti se by sve dojmy o ponae-rech tarn zde vystavovali nahodile kritice. Mona tedy 2'e pripojenY elaneeek mnoho objasni. Liverejfinjeme jej tak jak nas dogel, bez vlastni poznamky, nebot' nam jsou pomery tam jak mnohYrn z yes zahadou. — Verime vSak, ze dluZno vyslechnouti Milne posudky bez zaujatosti a claceme-li utvoriti si pribliZnY obrazek pomeril, poprati slovo znalcum tamnejS'ich ponaeru.-Na vlastni Nejen slova ,ale i dokumenty mluvi za krajany, kteri se vratili z navAtevy Ceskoslovenska. Koneene nam objasnuji nektere stranky Ceskoslovenskeho Zivo ta. Na pr. stale jsme nemohli pochopit, co je to praco yni jednotka v hospodarskem druZstvu. Dnes mare cifry a dokiady.

Za prve pracovni jednotka v zemedelskem druZstvu nevi stejna, zale21 na clruhu prace, na kraji, je-li UrodnY, jak dru2stvo prospiva atd. Na Klatovsku na loZit 9 fur hnoje je poeitano za jednotku. Za praci dostane zemeclelec, bYvalY majitel farmy, libru zrni (ne vSak vZdy) nebo lib. brambor za den a 9 kes. na papire. V hotovYch penezich je mu vyplaceno pouze 4 ai pti11 korun a druhou polovinu dostane teprve koncem roku, proka2e-li se dritZstvo zisky. Na Plzen sku, V firocInejSim 'kraji, jednotka je 18 kc denne. U Stare Boleslavi, v bohatem zelinarskem kraji, se plati v druZstvu za den prate' 10 ke hned a na konci toku dalSich 10' ke., je-li vYdelek. V kravirne. kde 3 dojleky obsluhuji 32 krav, krate denne je merle doji, eisti, vyvaZi hnCj, jsou placeny 11 ke. denne. Je to ovsem -vYstavni drOstvo v Bu'Scivicich u Rokycan ,kde je paradni kravin, kam se vadi haste, clokonce i ChruSeev. Zde si vydela. dojiela 30 ke denne (2 libry vurtil stoji 25 ke.)

V zime se pracuje v lese a i zde se jednotka ritzni. KdyZ je dobre drevo a drevorubec silnY a mladY, prijde si na 25 la denne priimerriV plat je 15 ke.

To jsou tedy pracovni podminky pro ze medelce, kdyZ' odevzdal dru'Zstvii svou farmu, dobytek, stroje, v ge — ovg em bez nahrady. Za to mu je dovoleno pracovat ✓ druZstvu za vYAe uvedenY plat.

Prot se vzdal farmar sveho rodinneho majetku, na kterem se tire' jeho cetaZete se shad? Ze zoufalstle vi a z donuceni!

ReZ"im se chiubi, ze jig polovina pildy ✓ Ceskoslovensku byla znarodnena. Neustanou vAak komuniste, dokud se ne-

zmocni vAceri. farem. V ()Lich komnuistit farmar 15 akrove farmy je kulakem ✓ Ceskoslovensku nesmi bit kulaktl. Je to celkem velmi jednoducha zalelitost.

Farmaitm se predepiSe velke dcdayky, KclyZ nedovedou ye stanovene Mute, i kdyby se neurodilo, jsou pokutovani jcdnou, po druhe a nakonec se jim majetek sebere.

Posud'te saws, je-li man() splint dodavky. Vezmeme si za priklad farmare sc 16 akry orne pudy. Z toho musi ocivadet relimu raene na 700 inter vopi'oyeho, 1400 liber hoveziho masa, 4000 iiber zrna, 80 metrakti brambor (17,640 libel') a 400 lib. semi (ae nenia pastvin.)

Od dvou krav musi odvest 2.600 iara mle ka. Dale ma povinnost dodat 1,601vajec, Neni divu, prijde-li neeekane% krajan na navStevu na farmu, hospodyne neseZene ani vejce, ani utleko na ponoSteni.

Platy tedy jsou bidne, za to ceny zboZi vysoke. Kolik si intiZe °bean koupit za svou mzdu? PriunernY plat delnika je 6 he za hodinu. 2ena pracujici 8 hodin ✓zavodni kuchyni si yydela 23 ke denne, (Cella chudeho masla je 42 kc za 1 kg. - hotely pro cizince maji lepsi, t. zv. yYberove maslo.)

KaZdennt krajanu je na prvni pohled napadne, ze na drahach, v poulienich vozech obyeejne praciiji Zeny (coZ o to, vykonavaji i teZkou praci na stavbach.)

2ena kondukterka v Plzni si vydela 700 he. mesiene, na Zelezniei 900 ke, pokladni na nadraZi tisic korun. Koupit si z pla tu sukni za 180 he, je u2 velke vydani, "z ktereho jsem se ani za tr.i mesice nevzpamatovala".

Srovnejte to s tins, co radila. krajanka ✓ Chicagu na pripravne schtlzi budouelm spolucestujicim: "Nevorte si nic do oeskoslovenska jenom vSechna tam maji, nekdy lepsi neZ my tally".

Krajane se na viastni oei presveE jak je town ye skuteonosti, Obdiv americkYm zboZim, hlavne, vinenYra, je aZ dojemny. 2eny hladi pohledem i drsnou rukou krasne naSe latky. V Praze za vYlohou stoji metr 441 ke, tedy na yard latky se pracuje 10 aZ 15 dni. -- V Plzni byla modni prehlidka, na ktere byl predvaden pansk* oblek. Sotva la predvadeeka cenu 1,750 Ice. strhl se no krik: "Kdo si to mute dovolit?" lw.)feeZ ona vysvetlila, Ze "cena octgovicla pridelu ylny". Ostatni latky pr(! &brie nelson celovin6ne, Jsou ov.km Tide, kteri sinobou clovclit podobriSr: oblek — komunistieti pohla,vari, at' mistni,,ci prati. To vysvelluje, proe jedna krajanka, si libovala, jak dobre se ma pribuznY s platens 3,600 ke.

OvAem patti do "nove tridy".

Ve stredu, dne 9. fijna 1957 Oteto tride napsal Djilas, po Titovi ✓ Jugoslavii nedavno jeAte nejmocnejk komunista knihu, "New Class". V ni odkrYva straSnou propast' do ktere komu nismus uvrhl lid. Komunisticke hospodatstvi je zalokno na krutern bezpravi, 10 procent "novYch si blahobytne, celY narod se plahoei beznadejne. Djilas, vyleeen z komunismu, statee• usnava svilj tragickY omyl, i kdyZ ho to inn& stat Sivot. Je ye vezeni a jeho Zivot je v sazce, avSak nedba patti k tem vza.cne stateanYm, chce, aby jeho psand slova mluvila za nal a varovala pied kornunismem. Jeho kniha je tajne rozkrovana za Zeleznou oponou a v celem svete `bude odhalovat komunistickou let o "lidove demoktacii". Rozvrat komunismu je to a bade se neodyratne Snit.

Co se Wee naiich krajanft navStevnikil rozdil v jejich vSmovedi o poinerech v Ceskoslovensku lze si vysvetlit tim, pribusni nekterYch patti k one "nove de", telici z dtiny a bidy velke vetginy obeanfi.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Around Halloween There Work to Be Done Our fraternal Order is basically in in rural ,areas. Therefore, we should try our programs there. You must give the children something new that they would not have otherwise. Through Committees, we sponsor contests with prizes for the winners and runnerups. In that way, the children are concentrating on some effort. The topic may be varied and well chosen. "What the S.P. J.S.T. means to me," "Why I am a member of the S.P.J.S.T." etc., has been used and it has been found that the children teach us something each time as far as these topics are concerned. One Lodge .lias taken on the training of square dancing to its youth. Another has organized a club in sports, namely; baseball.

What is your Lodge going to do with them socially? You, are going to have to have your own meetings and your own parties. Plan your parties so that they will develop character and alertness through games and otherwise.

As you are working with children through your own youth and teen-age groups, you soon learn that there are others who want to join. You cannot say "no." Our object is to the developthent of brotherhood among those we work with. They are the basis of OM' operation. We have to open our arms and take them all in.

We should have dozens of youth and teen-age units organized and the work going along splendidly. We want every Texan to know that we are interested in all our lodge committees when we develop the name fraternalism; that we are trying to give of ourselves without requiring renumeration.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag can be an important factor.

It has been the thought throughout the country that all havoc breaks loose on Hallowe'en, that you do things that night that you would not do otherwise, but it is a prank and maybe it is worth trying. The trouble is that in theenthusiaS111 and in the pep of boys and girls, they let an idea, run away with them , — that may develop in this particular evening. An experiment was tried by a group of town councilors, whodecided that if they were going to do something about delinquency the best time to start was Hallowe'en night — so they offered parties in the town to which all the children were invited from all the schools.

"All of us are aware of the fact that the syAem of fraternal life insurance is ug ,gradual gains. However, if pr'ogrc to be greater, certain steps are ne, essary to assure a more rapid advancement in the future. One such step forward is to be found in the further development of adequate and proper training staffs of fraternal field representatives.

"Fraternali.F-,m with its splendid charitable, social, educational, and the like activities is indeed a most worthy endeavor. Considerable emphasis is justly given to all such activities. However, equal, it not more, emphasis must be given to the life insurance advantages of fraternal societies. Apparently more and more societies have realized the importance of creating a proper balance between the truly fraternal aspects and the purely insurance features of our business, and when the proper stress is placed upon each of the two fold purposes of fraternal life insurance by the system as a whole, there will be recorded genuinely satisfactory progress. "creator professionalism must be injected into fraternalism if we are to to truly recognize ourselves as fraternalists.

Who will honestly state that we are practicing fraternalism when we permit deceased members to leave their loved ones $1,000 or $2,000 in the form of an insurance estate? When families discover that such a small estate still leaves them almost destitute, do you believe that they will long be supporters or followers of the fraternal movement? The answer is 'obviously "No."' 'There is no reason for any fraternal society to hesitate in expanding its insurance operations to provide better service to its inembershin. Oh the contrary, already there are definite reasons, in th2 form of certain ,state laws, for fraternal societies to conduct their membership campaigns through a field organization which is duly trained and properly equipped, to furnish correct counsel to present and future members.

The representative in the field is the direct point of contact with the public.

He is the ambassador of his society. He establishes and maintains its public relations. His main task is to seek prospective inembers, aid them in examining and recognizing their individual needs, and convince them that fraternal life insurance offers the best solution. Thus, a fraternal life insurance society func-tions through its field force.

The representative of a fraternal society surely is engaged in distinctly pro-

WEFT, TET.,

THANKS TO BROTHER STEHLIK Our Brother Otto Stehlik from Wichita Falls, Texas sent us a clipping from the Dallas Morning News in which a orotest of the Dallas City Attorney, Mr. Henry Kucera, is specially emphasized.

As you all know, our Brother Kucera has been in, the employ of the City of Dallas as City Attorney for a number of years and he is also a member of our SPJST and well known and respected.

Since he is one of the younger generation we take special pride that the Dallas Morning News has given him such special recognition; considering his opinion worthy of. being placed on the editoral page.

Our thanks to Bro. Stehlik for calling this matter to our attention.

SHOULD WE RULE OURSELVES? The protest of Dallas City Attorney Henry Kucera that the Legislaturs at Austin is invading the rights of Dallas to rule itself brings home to Dallas precisely the problem with which Arkansas is struggling: How shall we regain and keep the right to rule ourselves?

Arkansas finds the national administration an aggressive adversary robbing a sovereign state of the power to maintain order in its own capital city.

Dallas finds that the salaries of its own employees are being fixed by the decree of a rural-minded group of legislators — most, of whom come from cornunities which pay far lower salaries to their own employees.

At the same time cities d are plucked for taxes, by both Washington and Austin, to a point where the city budget is a matter of limitation on every hand for what the city may do and how it may pay for what it does do.

America as a whole — and Washington and Austin in ' particular must learn that long-distance government and absentee rule are bad government and misrule of a sort which defeats their purported design.

Enough, government on the spot to leave every citizen free and as little government from afar as may leave every citizen safe — is -the great contribution to American republican government and, to world-wide progress toward enlightened, liberty.

What goes on at Little Rock is worse than what goes on against Dallas; but they are like links from the some evil chain forged to fetter and compel the spirit of the community to the will of a master.

Official Washington looks on Arkansas and Texas as satellite provinces compelled by military force if necessory, to take orders from„Washington about

the conduct of local affairs and Governor Faubus is feeling and fumbling his way to keep for Arkansas as much of the rights of self-rule as he can manage.

Official Austin in general, and the Legislature of Texas in particular, regard the cities of Texas as creatures of state power and as centers of iniquity grudgngly to be conceded anything whatever. ♦ 4,

An Outsider's View Of Fraternal Societies Richard de R. Kip, Instructor in Insurance of the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, University of Pennsylvania, had as his subject "An Outsider Looks at Fraternal Insurance."

"The fraternal insurance society was not intended to be just a social group," said Mr. Kip. "It was not merely an insurance group; but it was to be a groin) banded together because of their common social interest which granted a form of life insurance protection to the membership. Legislators recognize the unusualness and the duality of this getting together in the fraternal insurance society." In discussing the readjustment period, the adoption of enduring plans members, he stated: " The loyalty of the membership was great enough to ride out the storm. Of course, many deserted the societies. It would be untruthful to admit otherwise. But the fraternal bond kept together enough of the membership so - that numerous societies survived the difficult transition period. This type of affeetion for an organization is unusual and you should never let it languish .or die. In its essence is the di difference between a fraternal insurance society and a commercial life insurance company. If it is destroyed, disappears, or is lost, the distinction- between the two forms of organization will no longer exist in fact and should b_e no longer recognized at law."

We pass This Way But Once "All cf our lives we are conditioned to second chances!

As children at home, we were seldome punished for our first offense.

Mother would forgive us, 'and we got a second chance.

"At school, we always got a second chance, perhaps for not passing a certain subject. Our teacher would give, us another chance at the subject in which we made below passing grade, and we could toke it and pass the required examination.

"When we went to work, we had a second chance. If one employer dicl not like us, another Would. If we did not fit in one job our employer would shift us to another.

"We Pass This Way But Once.

"When we finally reach 65, or whatever age it is that we are dependent for a living upon the income frorr, saved money, that's the end.

"Success or failure, income* or no income, dependent or independent and no second chance, because we have reached the end of the dock and are about to be pushed into the water. If you have learned to swim, fine. If you haven't, oblivion. .

"It is a little like a mother. You can love and cherish her while she is living, er you can wish you had after she is dead. But wish all you will, torture your memory as you please, there is no second chance.

Children's, Youth Club THE THREE CITRONS (Continued) "Well, if my brother didn't do anything to him, I won't either" So the prince crawled out from under the table and before the giant . It was like standing beneath a high tower. He .showed the agre the silver dumplings as proof that he had been at the Silver Castle: well,.well, my little June bug," shouted the monstrous fellow, "tell me what it is you want! I'll advise you if I can! Don't be afraid!"

So the prince told him the purpose of his journey and asked him how to get to the Glass Hill and pluck the Three Citrons.

"Do, you see that blackish lump over yonder?" the ogre said, pointing with his golden club. "That is the Glass Hill.

On this hill . stands a tree. From that tree hang the Three Citrons which send out, fragrance for several miles around.

You.. will climb the Glass Hill, kneel beneath the tree, and reach up your hands.

II the ,citrons are destined for you they will fall into your hands of their own accord. If they are not destined for you, you, will not be able to pluck them no matter what you do. As you return, if you are hungry or thirsty, cut open one of the citrons and you will have food ancl ..drink in plenty. Go now with God's blessing. But wait! I can't let you go aWay , hungry! Hi, mother, bring out the duniplingg!"

Yezibaba y et a large golden dish on the table.

"Eat!" her son shouted. "Or if you are not hungry just now, put some in your pocket and eat them on the way."

The prince said that he was not hungry but that he would be glad to take some of the golden dumplings with him and eat them later. Then he thanked the ogre most courteously for his hospitality and advice and took his leave.

He trudged quickly on from hill to dale, from dale to hill again, and never stopped until he reached the Glass Hill itself. Then he stood still as if turned into stone. The hill was high and steep and smooth with not so much as a scratch on its surface. Over its top spread out the branches of the magic tree upon which, hung the Three Citrons. Their fragrance was so powerful that the prince almost fainted.

"Let it be as God wills!" he thought to himself, "but however the adventure is to come out, now that I'm here I must at least make the attempt."

So he began to claw his way up the smooth glass, but he hadn't gone many yards before his foot slipped and down he went so hard that he didn't know where he was or what had happened to him until he found himself sitting on the ground.

In his vexation he began to throw away the dumplings, thinking that perhaps their weight had dragged him down. He took one and threw it straight at the hill. Imagaine his surprise to see it fit itself firmly in the glass. He threw a second and a third and there he had three steps on which he was able to stand with safety.

The prince was overjoyed. He threw dumpling after dumpling and each one t of them became a step. First he threw the lead ones, then the silver ones, and last of all the golden ones. On the steps made in this way he climbed higher and higher until he had reached the very summit of the hill. Then he knelt under the magic tree, lifted up his hands, and into them the Three Citrons dropped of their own accord!

Instantly the tree disappeared, the Glass Hill sank until it was lost; and when the prince came to him,self there was neither tree nor hill to be seen, but only a wide plain.

Delighted with the outcome of his adventure, the prince turned homeward.

At first he was too happy even to eat or drink. By the third day his stomach began to protest and he discovered that he was so hungry that he would have fallen ravenously upon a leaden dump- 1 ling if he had had one in his pocket.

But his pocket, alas were empty, and the

9, 1915,7 country au anout was a nare as the palm, of his hand.

Then he remembered what the ogre m the Golden Castle had told him andhe took out one of the Three Citrons. He cut it open, and what do you suppose happened? Out jumped a beautiful maiden fresh from the hand of God, who bowed low before him and exclaimed: "Have you food ready for me? Have you drink ready for me? Have you pretty clothes ready for me?"

"Alas, beautiful creature," the prince sighed, "I have not. I have nothing for you to eat or drink or to put on " The lovely maiden clapped her hands three times, bowed before him, and disappeared.

"Ah," said the prince, "now I know what kind of citrons you are! I'll Ithink twice before opening one of you again!"

Of the one he had opened he ate and drank his fill, and so refershed, went on. He traveled three days arid three nights and by that time he began to feel three times hungrier than before.

"God help me!" he thought, "I must eat something! There are still two citrons and if I cut open one there will be one left."

So he. took out the second citron, cut it in two, and lo, a maiden twice as beautiful as the first stood' before him.

She bowed low and said: "Have you food ready for me? Have you drink ready for me? Have you pretty clothes ready for me?"

"No, pretty creature, I haven't, I haven't!"

The maiden clapped her hands thrice, bowed before him and disappeared.

Now there was only one citron left.

The prince took it in his hand, looked at it and said: "I won't cut you open until I'm safe at home - in my father's house."

He took up his journey again and on the third . day he,cairte to his native town and his father's castle. He had been gone a long time and how he ever got back he didn't know himself.

Tears of joy rained down the Old king's cheeks.

"Welcome home, my son, welcome a hundred times!" he cried, felling on the prince's neck.

The prince related the adventures of his journey and they at home told him how anxiously they had waited his return.

On the next day a great feast was prepared. All the nobles in the land were invited. The tables were spread with food and drink the most expensive in the world and many rich dresses embroidered in gold and studded with pearls were laid out.

Wednesday, October 9, Ha

, The guests assembled, seated themselves at the table and waited. Music played and. then when all was ready, the prince took the last citron and cut it in two. Out jumped a beautiful creature, three times lovlier than the others.

"Have you food ready for me?" she cried. "Have , you drink ready for me?

Have you pretty clothes ready for me?"

"Indeed I have, my dear heart!" the prince answered. "I have everything ready for you!"

He lead her to the gorgeous clothes and she dresser herself in them every one present marveled at her great beauty.

Soon the betrothal took place and after the betrothal a magnificent wedding.

So now the old king's wish was fulfilled. He blessed his son, gave over the kingdotr4e to him, and not long afterwards he died.

The first thing that faced the young king after his father's death was a war which a, neighboring king stirred up against him. So the young king had to bid farewell to the bride whom he had won so dearly and lead his men to battle. In order that nothing happen to the queen in his absence, he built a golden throne for her in the garden beside the lake. This throne was as high as a tower and no one could ascend it except those to whom, the queen let down a silken cord.

Not' far from the king's castle lived the old. woman who, in the first place, had told him about the Three Citrons.

She knew well enough the young king had won his bride and she was deeply incensed that he had not invited her to the wedding and in fact had not even thanked her for her good advice.

Now this old woman had a gypsy for servant, whom she used to send to the lake for water. One day when this gipsy was filling her pitcher, she saw in the lake a beautiful reflection. She supposed it was a reflection of herself.

"Is it right," she cried out, "that so lovely a creature as I should carry water for that old witch?"

In a, furry she threw the pitcher on the ground and broke it into a hundred pieces. Then she looked up and discovered that it was not her own reflection she had seen in the water but that of the beautiful queen.

Ashamed of herself, she picked up the broken pitcher and went home. The old woman, who knew beforehand what had happened, went out to meet her with a new pitcher.

"It's no matter about the pitcher," the -old woman said. "Go back to the lake and beg the lovely lady to let down the silken cord. to pull you up. Tell her you will comb her hair. When she pukes you

VtSTNfS..® WEST, TEXAS

up, comb her hair until she falls asleep.

Then stick this pin into her head. After that you can dress yourself up in her clothes and sit there like a queen."

It was easy enough to persuade the gipsy. She took the pitcher and the pin and returned to the lake.

As she drew water she gazed at the lovely queen.

"Oh, how beautiful you are!" she whined, leering up at the queen with an evil eye. "How beautiful you are! But you would be a hundred times more beautiful if you but let me comb out your lovely hair. Indeed, I would so twine those golden tresses that your lord would be delighted!"

With words like these she begiled and coaxed the queen until she let down the silken cord and drew the gipsy up.

Once on the throne, the wicked gypsy combed out the golden tresses and plated them and arranged them until the queen fell sound asleep. Then the gypsy took a pin and stuck it into the queen's head. Instantly a beautiful white dove flew off the golden throne and not a trace was left of the lovely queen except her rich cothing. The gypsy dressed herself in them, sat in the queen's place, and gazed down into the lake.

But in the lake no lovely reflection shown itself, for even in the queen's cothes the gypsy remained a gypsy.

The young king waged a successful was against him enemies and made peace. Scarcely had he got home when he hurried to the garden to see whether anything had happened to his heart's delight. Who can express in words his astonishment and horror when instead of his beautiful wife he saw the evil gypsy.

"Ah, my dearest one, how you have changed!" he murmured and tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Yes, my dear, I have changed, I know I have," the gypsy answered. "It was grief for you that has broken me."

She tried to fall on his neck but the king turned quickly away and left her.

From that time forth he had no peace but day and night he mourned the lost beauty of his wife and nothing consoled him.

Grieving in this way and thinking always the same sad thoughts, he was walking one day in the garden when suddenly a beautiful white dove flew down from a high tree and alighted on his hand. She looked up at him with eyes as mournful as his own.

"Ah, my poor dove," the king said, "why are you so sad? Has your mate also changed?"

As he spoke he stroked the dove gently on the back and on the head.

On the head he felt a little lump. He

Stara. 25 blew aside the feathers and riscovered the head of a. pin. He pulled out the pin and instantly the sad dove changed into his own beautiful wife.

She told him what had happened to her, how the gipsy had deceived her and stuck the pin into her head. The king had the gipsy and the old witch caught at once and burned at the stake.

From that time on nothing happened to mar the king's happiness, neither the plots of his enemies nor the spite of evil people. He lived in love and peace with his beautiful wife and he ruled his kingdom wisely. In fact he's still ruling it if he hasn't died.

MY TRIP ABROAD :-.,Not too many weeks have gone by since my family mother, brother and sister — returned from continental Europe, the greater part of which trip I made with them.

For lack of time, I had come to a decision and concluded that nothing would induce me to write about this experience or to give my impressions, or attempt to, of conditions in general until suggestions from friends and acquaintances changed my mind; and since I have changed my mind as women sometimes do, this typewriter now goes into its most natural surroundings, doomed to react to the tune of my somewhat demoralized touch system.

When the Iron Curtain which had Czechoslo-vakia blocked so long was finally lifted, it did not take us long to plan on going abroad. The possibility of going to Prague was a dream which meant seeing our mother country — to set foot on the land of our birth. As children, we learned and have since been under the impression that no country in Europe was any richer in history, religious as well as political; ne country was able to boast :in proudly of het heroes, revere her countless martyrs and to admire her educators by the scores.

To think of revisiting this country was, therefore, like preparing for a pilgrimage to a shrine of the most profound I consequence and significance.

No doubt, most of you know we were among those in the group which flew via KLM, Royal Dutch Airlines' chartered flight on June 9th, the arrangements of which were quite laboriously planned by two members of our lodge, Messrs. S. Valcik and Joe Anton.

All around us we found enthusiasts which included members of Lodge Pokrok, Houston, and a week before the flight they gathered for a farewell party.

This was an event for us! My sister, Ruth Kurz, who lives in Palo Alto, California, was on her way to Houston, and the few days that remained were very busy (nes indeed. But by dawn of Sunday, June 9th, we were headed for the Houston International Airport to join the party of well-wishers and fellow passengers.

Just what any of us expected on our arrival at the Prague Airport, I can hardly say, but certainly not the warm welccer,c that awaited us. A cordial welc:)Ic dig committee and a few speeches made us officially the guests of the :state; and after the ladies were presented with flowers and each guest was offered, according to traditional custom, a slice

BY NAOMI KOISTOM of rye bread with a pinch of salt, wo all set out for the Esplanade Hotel which was to accommodate us for the duration of oir visit in Prague.

After such preliminaries which included our registry at the American Embassy, we set out to see the city of Prague.

Through the concierge of the hotel we engaged a guide and taxi-cab for several days. When this cab driver realized what a trip we had nia,de for the first time in so many years, lie seemed to take very special interest in our every wish, and very cordially stood by ready to be of service.

His first mission was to take us to Vinohrad, to the house where we were born. Need I say that this was a momentous occasion? After all, we had heard of Korunni Tricia, Cs. 6, all our lives!

And the activities of our family in Kral. Vinohrady seemed to be recalled again at this time.

Though stained with age, the buildings in the neighborhood bore evidence of better days. Directly across the street from our house stands Narodni Duni, at one time the center of national activities. In the same vicinity stands the Church of St. Ludmila and several other landmarks of the city.

We also enjoyed the sights of Vysehrad, where history repeats that a knight Horymir, asked for one final wish before his death sentence was to be ear vied out, having been accused of treason. Granted this permiesion he proudly mounted his horse. It is said that he whispered his orders to the hone, and obeying his master's command, galloped to the edge of the cliff and jumped in to the Moldau River and disappeared.

Besides the National Museum on Vacla.vske Namesti in which we spent some time, but hardly enough, we were attracted by the cotmtless statues throughout the city. Some were erected centuries ago and probably the mos impressive is that of John Bias, the martyr who was burned at the stake in year 1415; and that of St. Vaclav, the patron saint. Other attractions such as memorial monuments to the heroes of wars l.•bothmedivalnrs.and out in the memory of the tourist as do the many churches, public buildings and many unusual bridges.

By way of interest, we are told that the famous St. Charles Bridge which was constructed during the reign of Charles IV, is particularly very strong. The mortar was mixed with whites of eggs.

This story was once mentioned by Rip ley in his "Believe It or Not," series

which indicates there may he more truth than fiction to this.

This is all for this week. I the next issue there will be more about Prague and other parts of Czechoslovakia.

(To be continued.) ) • 4 • NOVA.K NEW HEAD OF COUNTY ASC Anton Novak of Fayetteville was elected chairman of the Fayette County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee for the coming year at the county convention held here Thursday.

He had been vice-chairman. ) • 4 • OUR U. S. SAVINGS BONDS Every so often someone rises up to protest the federal government's promotion of U. S. Savings Bonds. The citizen could earn more interest on common stocks or municipals, it is said. Or inflation overcomes the increments at maturity; and the government ought to issue "purchasing power" bonds to play square with the people.

U. S. Savings Bonds are in principle and in fact, the soundest and most practical source of mass savings in the world today. Why? Because their earnings, though modest, are certain. They are promptly convertible. And even though one can point to a multitude of blue chip alternatives in today's salubrious economic climate, the Savings Bond is the real rock in heavy weather.

If every American were born with a built-in instinct for thrift; if all persons found easy access to comprehensible and honest financial counseling; if every man were endowed with a little "mad money" that he could afford to lose while breeding it with opportunity —that would •be one thing. But such is not the case. So the people, the masses of the people, need inducements to simple and sure savings—bonds paid for by withholding, for example. And Uncle Sam who would like to be on a cash basis but can't be, needs the money even though the taxpayers have to, pay for it, even and including interest to themselves.

No, the people have confidence in their government beyond that which they have in some more remunerative investment. That's why more than 30 per cent of Americans' liquid savings are held in Savings Bonds. Ten million families bought bonds in 1956, and 60 per cent invested through payroll savings.

They might have done better. They surely could have done worse. But what they did was safe, sane, and in the public interest—including their own.

VESTN 1K — WEST, TEXAS ABOUT YOUR HEALTH AUSTIN — An epedemic of Asian influenza will almost certainly lay siege to Texas this fall and winter.

It is possible to make this prediction because the State Health Department laboratory has already isolated the specific virus in throat washings from several patients. Many more specimen are being studied and some of them will undoubtedly yield the virus.

A vaccine against this type of influenza, is being rushed into praduction and will probably be ready in limited quantities by mid-September. A goal of 60 million doses is expected to be reached by February.

Looking at the national picture, it is clear that the disease has already made serious inroads. More than 11,000 cases halve been diagnosed in the various states. Seven persons have died of flu or its complications. Surgeon General Leroy Burney has publically announced the strong probability of a large-scale outbreak within the next few months.

This appears to be a brand new member of the family of influenza viruses, perhaps closely related to the type which caused the world-wide epidemic at the close of World War I. It started first in Hong Kong in the early spring, and June had spread over the Orient and into India.

Strana 27 It entered the United States through a West Coast port. The first' case in Texas was diagnosed in a Boy Scout who attended the Jomboree in Valley Forge last month. Since then sporatic cases have cropped up at various points throughout the state.

Like all influenza, this is a highly communicable strain. Symptoms include a sudden fever lasting from one to six days, chills, aches and pains in the back and joints, sore throat and a cough.

In the Far East the attack rate has been extremely high — around one of every five persons being affected. The death rate so far has been comparatively low — two deaths per 100 cases.

Cases experienced in Texas thus far have been relatively mild. But there is no assurance that the virus will not become increasingly virulent as it spreadS from person to person.

Military experience indicates that the vaccine is 70 per cent effective. Therefore, thoughtful people will get themselves immunized as soon as possible after vaccine is available.

The State Department of Health will be unable to offer influenza vaccine, for general distribution. Physicians be able to purchase the material directly from commercial drug outlets.
