"Public Law 85-316" byl vypracovan se zketelem na zmirneni svizelil, zavinenYch PkistehovaleckYm a narodnostnim zakonem z roku 1952.

Ptistehovalectvi 2adatelti prvni, druhe a tieti ptednostni ttidy:— Dvanacta stat' noveho zakona ma zv16;gtni vYznam pro americke obeany a trvale zde usazene cizince, nebot' hlav ni prospech budou z ni miti jejich rodiny v zahranidi. Tato stat' dovoluje rodietun americkYch obaann. (druha ptednostni ticida) a manZeliim, manZelkam a detem usazenYrch zde cizincu (tteti ptednostni tkida) ptijeti do SpojenYch Statti mimo kvotu. Take cizinci s mimokadnYmi znalostmi a dovednostmi (prvni ptednostni tfida) mohou sem ptijiti mimo kvotu.

Aby Zadatel mel narok na tuto vSrliodu je tieba, aby jeho Zadost o rnisto v pied nostni tilde byla schvalena ji2 pied 1. dervencem 1957 a aby cizinec byl v ka.2dem ohledu kvalifikovan podle Ptistehovaleckeho a narodnostniho zakona.

V pripadech, v nichI platnost schvaleni jit propadla, nebot' 2adatel povaloval sve vyhlidky na ptipuSteni vzhledem na kvotovou situaci za beznadej ne a nesnaZil se proto ye veci nic podnikati, bude aspoii za jistSrch podminek pova2ovano toto schvaleni za stale jegte platne. Podet lidi, kteti budou miti ye shode s touto stati zakona ptistehovalecke vSihody, neni ptesne znam. Soudi se, ze jich bude aspoil 30,000.

Podle definice zakona je za "beZenceuprchlika" povaZovan "kterYkoli cizinec kterY uprchl pro pronasledovani nebo ze .strachu pied pronasledovanim pro rasu, nabo2enske vyznani nebo politicks ptesveddeni bud' (a) z kterehokoli komu nistickeho, komunisty ovladnuteho nebo okupovaneho uzemi, nebo (b) z ktereho koli zeme v oblasti Sttedniho vS7chodu, a kterSi nemilZe se na toto tizemi nebo do teto zeme vratiti, nerna-li bYti pronasledovan pro svou rasu, nabolenske vy znani nebo politicks ptesrvedeeni."

V zahraniei 2ije ofSem mnohem vice lidi, kteti spadaji pod tuto definaci, neZli je vis k disposici. Na jakem podklade bude etrnact a pal tisice vis rozdeleno, o tom rozhcdne zakrok administrate.

What Price Freedom?

Freedom was understood very well by our Czechoslovak forefathers and the pioneers who cairn to this country in search of liberty. They might not have been able to explain the philosophy of freedom, but it was not necessary to put into words. Every homesteader knew what he wanted: the right to work, to speak his mind, and to live as a free man. A pioneer's life had a very definite purpose, one of service to the family, to the community, to the country, and it was self-understood that a man toiled and sacrificed himself if need be. No matter where the immigrant settled, in the wilderness of the Middlewest, the coal mines or the new settlements, he followed his goal. He soon joined others of his countrymen, led by the same purpose, to build a school, a church, a community house. He helped to organize fraternal societies for his and his neighbor's protection, to found newspapers, singing societies, theatrical groups and many cultural organizations, for he was Intent on living a full life in freedom.

Above all, he proved his willingness to sacrifice in World War I and World War II. The American-Czechoslovak record in both world wars is one of dedicated, inspired service.

The Real Meaning of Liberty The real lesson of Sputnik is that we of the West must take as much pains to make the case for freedom understood by every citizen as Russia takes to make Marxism understood by every child passing through her schools.

American and British schools fail to teach the greatest lessons of freedom.

Not one American or British schoolboy in a thousand could explain to you the philosophy of freedom as expounded by our best philosophers.

If past experience goes for anything at all the United States can, give the will,

equal ad surpass that achievement (Sputnik) quite easily. But it will be a barren victory so far as human welfare and the preservation of Western civilization are concerned unless the technological achievement is accomplished by progress in social and political understanding which none of the Western nations seems so far to have managed. ) ( IMMIGRATION and NATURALIZATION Question: I have read in the newspaper that the new law passed in 1957 waives fingerprinting of visitors. Does it also affect the obligations of aliens to send their address reports to the Attorney General in January?

Answer: No, it has no effect on that obligation. All aliens who are in the

United States during January, must file their address reports as usual at a United States Post Office. Failure to report his address during January would make an alien subject to deiortation. ) 4 • ( LETTERS FROM AMERICA The fight for freedom, our American way of life and world peace must be won in the minds of men. The United States is too often misunderstood abroad and its aims and policies distorted by hostile propaganda. It's essential, therefore that the truth about our country and its way of life be made known. Let's use our letters to spread the truth about America, overcome hostile propaganda, and promote understanding and goodwill.

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR To all our friends and readers, we extend warm wishes for a Holiday that is full of love and joy, so it be a Merry Christmas to all.

) • 4 • ( FREEDOM TO KILL

Highways are dangerous ways but this need not be true. Year after year the Texas Highway Department is striving to make our highways safer. Millions of dollars are being spent toward this end, and progress is evident on every hand.

So it would not be logical to blame the Highway Department for the tragic loss of life we count in ever-increasing totals on holiday weekends and the staggering number that are killed annually across the nation.

There are many reasons for this -unsavory picture, but most of those reasons can be laid at the feet of the drivers themselves. So in order to correct this situation, naturally, we must begin at the trouble point.

Too many people have drivers licenses who should not be allowed at the wheel of an automobile on a public highway.

These are the people who have a long record of accidents to their descredit, caused by their own carelessness.

Too many people have too little regard for the rights of others, and this fact is demonstrated by their total disregard of the white and yellow lines marking the center of our highways.

Too many people are interested' in getting to their destination quickly and are a constant menace to those people who are just as interested in arriving at their destination safely.

Driving while intoxicated presents a threat as great as placing a deadly weapon in the hands of a child, and while the latter would not be done by any responsible person, the former is practiced every day by some who consider themselves to be upright citizens.

The State of Texas has added a large number of extra highway patrolmen, at great expense, for the purpose of trying to correct some of these evils, but the responsibility for Safety on the highways is ours, and we cannot escape it.

Freedom to enjoy should be protected.

Freedom to kill should be stamped out!

Ruthlessly!

Linden Hall Prepar For Santa "Deck your Halls with fern and holly, tra-la-la, `Tis the Season to be Jolly,' and in spite of the stinging cold wind that blew in yesterday the folks of Linden Hall at Elm Mott, plus children, gathered together on the evening of December 10th to decorate their Hall with fronds and holly and practice their Christmas program.

The Editor and wife sneaked over to see what these busy' people of Linden were up to and found a huge Christmas Tree brought fresh in from the woods, plus piles and piles of red holly, cedar boughs and brilliant oak leaves turned red, plus bags of Christmas tinsel stacked on tables and on the floor.

Brother and Sister Otto Hanus were gathering this material all afternoon in the woods. They braved this cold wind to assemble it in the Hall for that evening's decorating.

Those of you who have an occasion to visit Linden Hall during this Holiday Season, will agree that it made a most effective decoration and that the members did a good job. They plan to use this same decoration on through the New Year's celebration.

Just mingling with this enthusiastic group for the little while the Editor and wife picked up the excitement of the Christmas season too, and we are as eager as these members of Linden Hall for a jolly and snuccessful Christmas program, as our own. )• • THE BRUTE

Life Companies Loan to Business and Industry The nation's life insurance companies have made loans aggregating more than a billion dollars to small business in the four-year period from 1953 through 1956, a period marked by a tightening money situation and record demands for credit and investment funds on the capital market.

The survey also brought out that the rise in intrest rates in the period from 1954 to date had a greater impact on loans of large size than smaller ones.

The figures show that between 1954 and 1956 average borrowing costs on loans of $10 millions and over increased about three times as much as the average rate on loans of under $50,000. Because they are more expensive to make and to administer, loans of small size, of course, carry a higher intrest rate than large loans,

These loans to small business in the period, ranging from several thousand dollars to $250,000, represented about three out of four life company loans to business and industry from 1953 through 1956. Loans up to $50.000, and averaging Pinch Hit about $25,000 each, represented by far the biggest single category.

GEORGE KACIIR The Vestnik is proud to present to you another Texan of Czech immigrant parents who has an enviable past record of service for his state, community and his ancestry, our brother. George Kacir, the present mayor of West, Texas, completing his 20th year term in this office.

He is an attorney by profession.

Horn on a farm in the Komensky 8, hew District i Lavaca County, to parents Joe and Mary Kacir, and going to school to our good brother and friend, F. K. Bucek now of Hallettesville, Texas, young George became a school teacher laim,self at the of 17. He then attended the University of Texas to receive hi, LLB Degree and received a fellowship from the Ministery of Education of Czechoslovakia for one year's study in the Charles University of Prague. He later wrote of his experiences while studying in Czechoslovakia.

Brother Kacir is also past president of the student Club Cechie at the University of Texas and past president of the Czech Ex-Students Association of Texas, serving in this office for several years.

One can gather from the above data that this young man did not let any grass grow under his feet, for his activities didn't end there, He also served he City of West in the capacity of Presi-

, dent of the Chamber of Commerce, City ;Attorney and City Con,missiuner. He was also elected to the responsible office of Vice President, Secretary-Manager and as President in the Texas Association of Mutual Fire and Storm Insurnace Companies and has served as an attorney for the Farmers Mutual Protective Association of Texas, our own better known organization as R.V.O.S. to which association he wishes to devote more of his future time. He was instrumental in writing laws now governing farm and county mutual insurance companies in or state.

We all remembei Brother Kacir from our Convention where he served as convention Chairman for the third time well as assisting on the SPJST By! ws Committee.

Yes, this type of work is his love and lies close to his heart which makes him outstanding in it.

True to form, as all of our outstanding Czechs in Texas, he is 'very modest in talking about his achievements (it's like pulling teeth to get some facts), but most of our SPJST Family have known Brother George Kacir for years and years and know of his services in some fraternal endeavors. capacity in our He and his charming and lovely wife, Albina, are member8 of Lodge Jaromir 54 of West, Texas. We are most pleased to present this sketch of Brother Kacir to our young and budding aspirants of notable life's achievements in our SPJST family.

0 These sketches are not intended to gain personal favors or flatter anyone, but it is our sincere intention to bring before our SPJST "Youth" examples of what sincere devotion and hard work will do, to bring a good person "above the aver7ge"—We hope that all of our ymArg friends will read these articles, e t we intend to publish from time to time, attentively, as they are intended to inspire them to follow.— The Editor ) 9 • ( FATAL FLAW Clancy had been working on New York harbor tugboats for fifty years when he fell overboard and was drowned.

Fraternally, Sister Alene Skrivanek • 41 • 1 IMMIGRATION & NATURALIZATION QUESTION: I gave the wrong age when I applied for naturalization, inasmuch as from the time I immigrated I always held myself out to be five years younger than I am. I am now getting to the age where I would be entitled to social security if my true age were known. Is there any way in, which I can correct my records?

ANSWER: You will not be able to correct your naturalization certificate without the consent of the court in which you were naturalized. This is not necessary. You can establish your true age with the Social Security Administration if you have evidence which would convince them that you are actually five years older. The misstatement regarding your age in your immigration and naturalization papers is regrettable, but is not something you need to worry about. As long as it was not a material fact, it did not affect the legality of your immigration and naturalization.

QUESTION: My cousin has fled from one of the countries of the Mid East because of persecution. The nonpreference quota for his country is oversubscribed and I wonder whether the immigration law which was enacted in 1957 can be used in his behalf.

ANSWER: Your cousin may qualify for a visa under the law of September 11, 1957. This provides for a limited number of nonquota visas for persons who because of persecution or fear of persecution have fled from. Communistdominated countries or from. a country within the general area of the Middle East and who cannot return on account of race, religion or political opinion.

However, the number of such visas is smaller than the number of persons who would like to use them. In order to obtain one of them, your cousin should get in touch with a reputable welfare or refugee agency operating near his

Children's, Youth Club MR. SANTA CLAUS, (I/O CHILDHOOD HEARTS, NORTH POLE I hope you will remember me, Santa.

Dear Santa Claus, It's been a long time. You'd have to blow the dust away to look up my name in your files!

The last time I wrote you, I spelled Bicycle with a "k" and I've been singing "Jingle Bells" an octave lower for several seasons now. My stocking size and my Christmas lists have changed considerably and I now recognize the value of a little mistletoe in the decor.

It isn't that I've underestimated you through the year s, Mr. C., or forgotten our relationship. I've been giving your letters to my father to mail and its worked out beautifully since the Christmas he inquired as to my knowledge of your identity. My affirmative answer brought a "Well, start being nice to me, then" from him. And we laughed and my mother cried.

I still believe in you, you see. I've followed your activity each Yuletide in the nation's press. I know you don't have time to read all the papers, but December's headlines — lots of them. — belong to you. Annually, you crowd out the dayby-day boys who fade from year to year.

Although this is more a delayed Thank You for the other Christmasses than a suggested shopping list, there are a few things I'd like when you rein in the reindeer at my house this year.

Could you put the light from the ent place of abode and have them help him file the nesessary documents. These include a statement explaining the history of his present predicament and a description of the experience and skills which would make him a valuable addition to the American people.

Strana 25 children's faces, pressed against count less frostod window panes, into the hearts of the world? Could you transplant a little of the feeling of holly, the glistening tinsel, the angels atop the.

Christmas trees, the off-key Noels and the hushed hymns, to those who are spending their first Christmas away from all that? And especially, to those who never noticed it before?

Could you remind us all that it is a Birthday we are celebrating, not just_'a,ii expense receipt from the rest of the year? Could you put in our Christmas cards and our packages, the message's' and the warmth we really mean in-' stead of the shopworn sentiment arid the same old gifts?

Most of all, Mr. Claus, could yo Make ; sure that we'll never outgrow,Jou that Christmas will always be a way or' life and that you'll be staging it alwaYsl ' I think you will because, though you've seen central heating replace the ney you've learned that America's front door is left unlocked each ChriStrirds Eve. There is still room for the mailger and the sleighbells in the age of auto-'' mobiles and atoms. So don't ever go nie-' chanized, Mr. Clause.

big weekend of August 9-10-11. This was the weekend when the teenagers enjoyed the trip to Wylie's Dude Ranch.

This was certainly a thrill for all.

Everyone remembers our next big project, the "First Anniversary Dance" where Her Highness, Carole Nemec, was crowned queen of the Teenage Division of the SPJST No. 84. Of course it took the cooperation of our mother lodge, Lodge No. 84, Dallas, of which Brother Sid Pokladnik is president, to make this dance such a success. Our fraternal thanks to our mother lodge.

We must not forget all of the smaller parties of various types that were put on by our entertainment committee.

Above all we must not forget that all this progress would not have been possible if it were not for the leadership, cooperation, understanding, and most of all the Patience of our leader Sister Bessie Petr.

The Teenage Division of the SPJST would like to thank Sister Frances Baleja and Brother Ben Jarma for their support of the teenage division by their letters in the Ve.stnik; we also extend our thanks to Brother Editor L. 0.

Hosek, for his cooperation, as editor of the Vestnik, greatly helped us. The Teenagers regret that we cannot thank each and everyone personally, but we do want you to know that we do appreciate it. Thank you.

spindle, say two hands. Do not accept anything else."

• (A spindle is a simple instrument used in spinning by hand, a round slender rod tapering at the ends, usually of wood, which is made to revolve and twist into thread out of the bunch of wool or flax.)

The boy took the golden spindle and when he reached the palace and sat down in the courtyard near the gate, Zloboha ran up to him at once.

"What do you want for that spindle?" she asked.

"Two hands," the boy said.

"It's a strange thing you won't sell anything for money."

"I have to ask what my father tells me to ask."

Zloboha was in a quandry. She wanted the golden spindle, for it was very beautiful. It would go, well Ath the spinning wheel and would be something to be proud of. Yet she didn't want to be left without anything that had belonged to Dobrunka.

"But really, mother," she whined, "I don't see why I have to keep something of Dobrunka's so that Bobrimil will love me as he loved her. I am sure I'm as pretty as Dobrunka, ever was."

"Well," said the old woittan, "It would be better if you kept them. I've often heard that it is a good way to guard a man's, love. However do as you like."

For a moment Zlolaoha was undecided.

Then tossing her head, she ran and got the hands and gave them to the boy.

Zloboha took the spindle and, delighted with her bargain, carried it to her chamber where she had the wheel and distaff. The old woman was a little troubled, for she feared Zloboha had acted foolishly. But Zloboha, confident of her beauty and her ability to charm the king, only laughed at her.

As soon as the boy had delivered the hands to the hermit, the old man carried them into the cave. There he anoited the wounds on Dobrunka's arms with the same healing salve that he used before, and stuck on the hand.

As ,non as Dobrunka could move them she jumped up from the couch and, falling at the, hermit's feet, she kissed the hands that had been so good to her.

"A thousand thanks to you, my benefactor!" she cried with tears of joy in her eyes. "I can never repay you, 1 know that, but ask me anything I can do and I will do it."

Those in favor of the motion will raise the right hand; those oposed will signify (or manafest) it in the same way or manner. The affirmative has it, or the motion is adopted, or carried, and the resolution is laid on the table." The vote should always, be announced, as it is a necessary part of putting the question. The assembly is assumed not to know the result of the vote until announced by the chair, and the vote does not go into effect until announced. As soon as the results of the vote is announced the chair should state the next business in order, as in the following example of putting the question on an amendment: "The question is on amending the resolution by inserting the word `oak' before the word 'desk'. Those in favor of the amendment say aye; those opposed say no. The ayes have it and the amendment is adopted. The question is now (or recurs) on the resolution as amended, which is as follows: (read the resolution as amended). Are you ready for thequestion?" The chair should never neglect to state what is the business next in order after every vote is announced nor to state the exact question before the assembly whenever a motion is made. Much confusion is avoided therby. The vote should al-
