Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln je po Washingtonovi riejoblibenej glin statnikem americkYrn. Nejen.ze zachranil narod od rozpadnuti, nejen ze byl osvoboditelem otroku a muZem neobyeejne laskavyna a liclumilnYin, ale 137:1 i vynikajicim p •ikladem muZe, kteremn Amerieano v2dy vzhliZeli s ol3divem, muZem, kterY se svou vlastni silou propracoval k Od nejuboMich zaeatka povznesl se k nej yySS"imu mistu v narode a stal se jednou z nejprominentnejSich osob svetovYch dejin. ,Jako pravnik byl charakteristickY tim, .2(2 pl'i 1) 1 eliceni nemrhal easu zbytednostrni ,nYbrZ obracel v gechen zfetel k tomu ,co obyeejne bylo teliftem celeho pfipadu.

Jed nou z nejkrasnejAich stranek presidentova charakteru, kt o ra ho uoinila znamYm a oblibenYm i za hranicomi SpojenYch Statti, byla jell() S'lechetnost.

Asi mesic pied tim, nez byl zavracien, uz ke sklonku obeanske valky, pi•cdnes1 svou druhou nastupni fee, jednu z n ej -1epicht!modrnby.KejislvY: "Ton.',,obne doufame, vroucne se modlime, cloy tato stra gna metla — valka — clospela ui ke konci. Pfeje-ii si vArt": aby pokradovala tak dlouho. a v gechno bohatstvi, nakupene dvestepadesati lety o1rocke, neoplatitelne dfiny se V ni utopi, az kahla krtnef krve, prolita ranou Mee, bud!' splacona prolitou meeem, pak, jak pfed ttemi tisici lety bylo feeeno, i my musime fici: "Soul BoZi je pravdivY a spravedlivSt." "S nenavisti vilci nikornu s laskou ke kaZdemu, s nezdolnosti v pravde, jak ladm pravdu zjevuje, snaZine se u.koneiti praci, kterou jsme zaeali; snaZme se obvazati racy naroda; postarejme se o toho kdo valku prodelal a o vdovy a sirotky po padlYch; snahne se ueiniti v'Se, abychom dosahli a v budoucnosti si vaZili spravedliveho a trvaleho Iniru mezi nami samYmi a se v'Semi os-

tatnimi ndrady."

2a,dnY druh valky neuvolni tolik zlYch vani jako vdlka obeanska, a americka obeanska valka nebyla v tom ohledu &mu vYjimkou. Kdyby byl Lincoln tou dobou Zit, tragiek(e rMsledky, jimil se Jih musel po valce probojovavati, bYvaly by jiste zna'ene zmirneny, ne-li zabranany. On by byl bYval vedel, jak "obvazati zany sveho naroda." Byla to ironic dejin, ze tento vynikajici muZ byl vyrvan Zivotu einem fanatickeho Zence Jihu prave v dobe, kdy jeho spravecIliveho a laskaveho vudeiho ducha bylo narodu nejvice pottebi. ®. ( ° 0

DfiTSKA BES!DKA Pohidka o ptalui ohnivetku a o rnoiske panne (BoSena Nemcova) V jedne decline Sili za clavOch clasil mankle a nemeli deti. Byli stateeni, ale chudi. Jakkoli byli chudi, piali si jen kdyby je Pan WIh dedicem obdaiil.

I vyslilel Buh prosby jejich a po ease porodila Sena zdraveho synka. 8e1 tedy mu2 kmotru prosit, ale Se byl chud nechtel mu nikdo za kmotra jiti. ,ito mu toho bylo a smuten vracel se domu. I potka tu bliZe chYlky sve Zebraka.

"Co jsi tak smuten, eloveee?" ptal se ho Zebrak.

"Jak nemam byt smuten, porodila mi 'Sena synka a nemohu mu kmotra dostat!" odpovedel otec.

"No, ja jsem jen Zebrakem, ale kdyZ svoliA, pajdu ti za kmotra ;ale nemam ti co dat, nebot' nemam nea tohoto petniku," pravil Zebrak.

"VAak ja nic neZadam, jen mi pojcl'te toho kmotra.

"No, jen jdi domu, ja, u kostela budu na tebe dekati", odpovedel Sebrak.

Mu2 sel domu a hned se Sane pochlubil, Se 112 kmotra ma. Vzali tedy synka a SU s nim ke kitu. Pokrtili ho Jenikem.

Start' Sebrak, co mu stal za kmotra, zavazal mu ten petnik, potom ho polehnal a zmizel!

Rodiae mu ten petnik schovali a uminili si, byt' sebe yak' bida, na ne 2e ho nevydaji. VSak co Jenik do chySky

bylo poSehnani Baiho pine kouty, a rodieilm se vedlo dobie. Jenik rostl jako z vody a staval se z neho co den peknejSi jinoch; rodiee v nem Sill!

Ale jakkoli i Jenik rodiee 'svoje miloval, piece ho to, kdy2 dorosti z domu do sveta vabilo.

"Mili rodiee!" pravil jim jedneho dne, "u2 jste se mne dost nachovali, ua jsem dost silen a mohu sam o sebe se sta.rati. Prosim vas, propust'te mne, rad bych sveta zkusil." Neradi slyleli rodiee Jenikovou 'tee a paean ho piemlouvati a plakati.

"Ach, neplaete a nebojte se, mill rodide vlak se ja varn za rok, za dva roky zase vratim a budu vas ye vali starosti stateene opatrovat", teSil je Jenik. Kdy'S rodiee videli, Se jinak neda, nechali mu vnli a pomalu ho na, cestu pfipravovali.

Tu kdy2 se rodide o syna radi, kterak by ho nejlepe vypravili, octne se tu z nenadani stark elovek ptede dvermi drZe, za uzdu kasneho konika a tazaje se: — "Nekoupite kone?"

"A sae je ten kiln?" ptal se otec. "Za petnik!" odpovedel stakec.

"NuZ, Jeniku, kup si ho za ten svili kiestnST petnik" pavil otec i ihned Jenikovi schovanST penis pkinesl.

Jenik dal s radosti starci petnik a starec odevzdav mu kone rychle odeSel. Ne malou mel Jenik radost z pekneho kone, k nernu2 tak z nenadath prisel. Kdy2 si ho nakrmil a piipravil, rozloueil se s rodiei a vsednuv na kone bez dalkho meSkani do sveta se ubiral.

A kdy2 u2 byli daleko od domova a pa zelene louce jeli, pravil konik Jenikovi: "Dej pozor, as klopitnu, co vykopnu." Divno bylo Jenikovi, Se kun rozpravi a jiZ se chtel ozvati, v tom kiln klopytl, a na semi ztipytil se ohnieek, ale kdy2 Jenik bliZe piihledl, videl, to neni ohnieek, ale slate pero.

"A mam jej vzit?" ptal se Jenik kone.

"Vezmi je, je to pero z ktidla ptaka Ohnivaka, ale dobie si je schovej. Nejprve ti bude ke zlemu, potom k dobremu slouSit," odpovedel kan.

Jenik perko zdvihl, zaobalil do bileho Satku a schoval si je za nadra. Je-li dale a piijeli ke kralovskemu mestu, a tu kdy2 jeli mimo kralovskS7 hrad, dival se kral z okna. Vida pekneho mladika na koni, zavolal na neho, tazaje se ho, karn jade. "Do sveta Stesti zkusit," odpovedel "A zda bys nechtel u mne slouZit?" ptal se kral, jemu2 se mladik zalibil.

"Prod bych nechtel, kdy2 nine vezmete, ale tohoto sveho kone si s sebou vezmu, nebo bych loez neho neSel. " "NuS, kdy2 checeS, vezrni si ho," pravil kral. Jenik vjel do zamku, vstoupil do

Ve stfedu, dne 12. imora 1958 kralovske sluZby a dostal na starost lest krasnYch kriu, na kterYch kral jezdival Sveho konika postavil si do teSe konirny do kouta a vedle neho spaval. Od to doby, co Jenik kone hlidal, pfibYvalo jim co den krasy, srst na nich jak aksamit, hflva jak slate vinky od hlavy jim splivala, z oei jim srSel °hen..

Krali se to libilo, chvalil si Jenika.

Ale &led se divila, Se co je s Venn korimi, co je hlida Jenik, Se tak na sebe berou, jako by na ne kladl, 1;cleSto piece stejnY obrok maji; to Se pry neni s dobrSrm. ZylaSt' jeden sham, v deledi kralovske, jenika nenavidel a pkizne kralovy mu neptal; ten uminil si, Ze muss vyzkoumati, co s kohmi dela. Tak i Jednoho veeera vloudil se do konirny a za kupu sena, v koute nahromadeneho se schoval, eekal na Jenika. Kdy2 se jig opine setnaelo, veSel Jenik do konirny bez svetla; kdy2 zavoru zastrdil, vyrial se zailadii bilS7 Satek, v nern2 zaobaleno mel slate pero z ptaka Ohnivaka. Polo ail na okno rozbalil jej, a v tom okamZeni rozlila se z neho sake po cold konirny. Jenik snal eapku, povesil na hiebik, svlekl kabatek a zadal kone eistiti a eesati jednoho po druhSfm, vesele si pii tom zpivaje. Kdy2 byl s praci hotov, zaobalil slate pero zase do Satku, a tepry ulehi na seno vedle konika.

Kdy2 se rozbiesklo, vykradl se zracinS, sluha z poza kopy a vida, ze Jenik tvrde spi, vzal pero i se latkem a tile, jak tak odeSel. Jak nastal bilY den, pospiAil sluha ke krali, slate pero mu odevzdal a vSe vypovedel, jak a kde k nemu piiSel. Kral ho vyslechl a potom si poslal pro Jenika. Libilo se krali pero a myslil si, kdy2 jedno pero tak sviti a tak krasne je, coSe tepr y celY ptak?

Kdy2 se Jenik pied krale dostavil, prud ce se na neho kral podival a promluvil hnevivVm hlasem: "Jak jsi se opovaZil ski-Swat piede mnou slate pero z ptaka Ohnivaka, za to jsi smrti zasloulil."

"Ach, odpust'te, vale rnilost, pane kravZclyt' jsem se nenadal Ze by se yam to jedno pero talc zalibilo," omlouval se Jenik.

"Odpustim ti, ale music mi donest ptaka Ohnivaka, jak nedonesek budel o hla vu menSi". S temi slovy se kral od neho odvratil a Jenik place vratil se do ko-; nirny. "Co pladeS, Jeniku, co ti je?" ptal se ho konik.

"Ach, jak, nemam plakat a naiikat, ko niku notij drab* kdy2 mi kral rozkazal, abych mu donesl ptaka Ohnivalca, a kdy2 mu ho nedonesu, 2e budu o hlavu, menSi. Beda mi, kde ja najdu ptdka Ohnivaka!"

"VSak viS, co jsem ti pravil, ze ti to slate pero nejpr y ke zlemu, potom k do-

Ve sttedu, dne 12, anora 1958 bremu bude. No, neplae, vAak ja ti budu k dobre pomoci. Ale dtive si vypros od krale korytko zlate pAenice a hedvabnou sit'. Potom naber potravy, vsedni na mne a vydame se na cestu."

Jenik vratil se he krali prose, aby se mu dalo korYtko zlate pAenice a hedvabnd sit'. Kral natidil, aby se mu limed vAe, co ad5. vydalo. Kriy2 mel Jenik vAec ho ptipraveno, vloZii, to na kone, vsedl i sam na neho a v okamZeni byli ze vraty.

Jell, jell mnoho dni, za vysoke hory, za Airoke doly he zlatemu vrchu.

Tu konik stanul a pravil Jenikovi: — "Vezmi sit' a zlatou pAenici a jdi na ten vrch co tuto vidiA na vrchu je studanka a k te studance ptiletaji kaZdou noc ptaci Ohnivaci napit se. Kolem te studanky nasyp zlate pAenieky; pfileti ptaci, budou zobat, a tehdy music speAne jednoho lapit. A ho bude S miti, dej ho do site a zavolej na mne."

Jak konik kazal, tak Jenik udelal; vzal pAenici a sit' a Ael na zlatY vrch; vylezl nahoru s veeerem. Na vrchu byla studanka a v ni vod'a jako ktiAtal eista. Nasypal Jenik pAenice okolo studanky a potom lehl na zem a eihal. KdyZ bylo k osvitil se nahle celY vrch, jako by nad nim slunce yzeAlo a to ptiletali ptaci ohnivaci. Jako blesk se snesli doh). he studance, a vidouc zlatou pAenici okolo studanky rozhazenou zaeali hltave zobati a o zrnko se prat. Jenik divil se krasnym ptaktim a sotva dYchal, aby jich nesplaAil; ale kdy Z se jeden, nejkrasnejAi ze vAech k nemu ptiblilil, rychlosti blesku lapil ho za nohu, sit' p1-es nej pfehodil a co hrdlo stadilo, volati zadal na konika, a v term okamZeni konik stal u neho.

NevYslovna, byla radost kralova, kdy 2 Jenik se do zamu vra,til a ptaka Ohnivaka ssebou ptinesl. Obdaroval Jenika bohate a ptaka Ohnivaka dal do nejpeknejAi jizby na zlate bidelko, a krmili ho zlatou pAenici. Od te chvile, co se Jenik vrdtil, ptemYAlel onen zlomyslnY sluha jen na to, jak by Jenika zkazil. Ale Jenik si ho nevAimal, a jako prve, tak i potom jen svych koni si hledel. Jednoho dne prochazel se kral po sini, kde ptak Ohnivak na bidelku sedel ;nahle se zastavil a pravil sluhovi, Jenikovu neptiznivci, kterY se tam nejakou praci zabkval: "VetAi vzacnost, jako tento ptak, hadam, neni na svete!"

"Je, yak kralovska milost," ozval se sluha, jsa rad, Ze se mu ptilditost nasky tla Jenikovi Skoditi.

"A kde? co?" rychle zeptal se kral. — "Jak nam Jenik vypravel, bYva na dernem moli panna, ktere se na krasu na celem svete Zadna nevyrovna." I pOzastavil se kral nad touto reel a zatouZil po krasne panne. "Dosud", pokraeoval sluha ve sve keel, "nemohl ji nikdo chytit ale Jenik se honosil, Ze by ji dovedl dostat!"

"Tedy dobte, ntiZe Jenika zavolej !" po men kral. ZradnY sluha ihned pro Jenika beZel teSe se jil, Ze se ho navZdy zbavi.

"Prod jsi mne nepovedel o motske panne? Nyni jdi a motskou pannu mi vyhleciej, a kdy2 mi ji nevyhleda,A, budeA o hlavu menSi." Jenik se chtel vymlouvati, e o motske panne nevi, ale kral mu nedal k feëi ptijiti a z jizby yen ho vyhnai pkikazuje,, aby se ihned ptipravoval na cestu.

Plaee veSel Jenik do konirny. "Co piaeeA, Jeniku?" ptal se konik.

"Ach, konieku mUj drank, jak nemam plakat, kdy 2 kral posila pro motskou pannu a kdy 2 mu ji nevymohu, budu o hlavu menAl!" natikal si Jenik.

"No, nepiad, bude to teZka, sice prace, ale neboj se; budu ti k dobre pomoci.

Ale nejdtive vyZadej ad krale bilk, zlatem tkank stan a zlatY stolek, a VAelike na nem drahe veci ze zlata. ,ze stfibra.

Jenik del he krall a prosil o stan, o stolek, o zboZi a Zivobyti, jak mu konik naridil; a kral rozkazal, aby se mu ihned vydalo vde, co 1-add.

Maje vde v poradku veci na hone i drn vsedi a bez me gkani se vydali na cestu. Jell p1-es hory, doly, p1-es Aire pu gtiny, mnoho dni jell, ned k mori doj eli.

"No, tu jsme, to je Sere more", pravil konik, kdyZ, se nedaleko bfehu morskeho zastavil, "nyni sesedni &du a poslid co ti povim.; "Nejpr y postav na kraji more stan, do stanu postav zlatY stolek a na stolek vylod drahe veci, co pH sobe mad. — Potom sedni pied stan a eekej; kaZdY den o poledni prochazi se morska panna, dcera morskeho krale, v zlatem elunku po molt Ad ji uvidid, zaenl pane na piAt'alku vyhravat, aby te uslydela.

Matein slib Kdy2 jsem si z pâté tridy obecne S'koly prines1 slug ne vysvedeeni, fekla mi mainka : dohodli jsme se s tatinkern, Ze piljdeS na studie. 0 prazdninach se bude ueit a pak bude g cleat pfijimaci zkouSkit do gymnasia. Aby se ti lehdeji udilo vezmeme ti studenta., a ten te ke zkouke pripravi."

A tak jsern se cele prazdniny uoil. K zapIsu vedla rune maminka. Na testa jsine se zastavili ne j dfive v kostele. U dveri jsme se po2ehnali svecenou vodou a pak jsme stanuli u poboeniho oltare se sochou Fanny Marie Lurdske. Zde mi rnati pogeptala: "Filipe, tadyhle se pekne pomodlime, aby ti byla, Parma Maria pH pfijimaci zkoug ce napoinocria.."

Klekli jsme a modlili se. Ja geptern, ma.ti polohlasite, divajie se °boas na mne'nebo na sochu Fanny Marie.

Kdy2 jsme po vykonani pobanosti opustili kostel a pfibli2ili se he dverim gymnasijni budovy, udelala mi mati kii2ky a pravila: "Filipe, zkoug ky se pranic nebo j , jsi v ochrane Panny Marie, jen se neukvap a napred si u ka2cleho zastoje vgecko dolafe pfedlo2!"

Zkoug ka dopadla dobfe. Byl jsern prijat. Mati se nevt'islovne radovala. .Na zpatecni testa po oznameni vYsledku prijimaci ,zkou ghy zastavili jsme se zase v kostele a Panne Marii jsme pekne za prispeni poclekovali. Modlii jsem se tak dlouhu jako radosti pina matka. — Kdy2 poystala, pohladila mne a zahlede-v gi se &Ivo na krasnou sochu, vrottene mne polibila. Pii navratu domu zastali jsme stat v otevfenStch dverich svetni ce. Mat zvolaia vitezoslavne: "Mu2i, dobfe to dopadlo, diky Rodiece vedu ti s.tuclenta!"

Otec so zaradoval, pixel nam vstr c

a zvednuv nine do vYge, polibil me.

Tak stal jsem se studentem na c. k. gymnasia. Oct to doby uplynulo u2 pres Sedesat let.

Kdy2 nas pan tridni z katalogu po prye precidital, divil se menm jrnenu: "Filip Stehlieek, Filip, Filip! To je zvlagtni, Ze yam dali jmeno Filip!"

"Prosim, pane profesore," rekl jsem mu, "Inamink.a fikava, 2e jsern si to Due no sam ptines1 na svet."

Pan tridni se pousmal a pravil: "Stehlidku, tedy se pilne uete, kdy2 Filip, tak KdyZ jsem byl ye etvrte tfide dill kvar te, pfihodila se zylaStni uddlost.

Maminka s novinou, ze syn zna meho chudehe temesinika bude miti dekanskern chramu Pane prvni ink nebo-li primici. Toho dne vatila nejstargi sestra, a ja, s maminkou gel pane do kostela.

Pan clekan, mei kazani. Bylo krasne a dojimave, ze az lide plakali. Po kazani byla slavna rnge svata.

Varhanik pripravil k ni slavnostni vod. S poeatku se mi zdalo, ze sly gim v dalce boufku. Ponenahlu se bli2ila a sesilovala. V chramovem prostoru chvel se vzduch vie a vice, a kdy2 pedalova hra dostoupiIa nejvet gi sily, vyglehla a ni jako blesk z mraeen jasava hudebni veta, gilene rtiznSmi toninami ye fortissimu probihajici. Mne se zdalo, 2e ten gilenY let rozjasane vety nebude mono ani zastavit. 2e to byla slavnostni fuga, mistina skladba, jsem tenkrat je gte nevedel.

Ze sakristie vy glo est kne21 a novosvecenec, majici slou2iti prvni msi svatou u hlavniho oltare.

Varhany zanedlouho znalkly zapoeala rase. S kruchty se rozlila kostelem rnila hudba a zpev.

Po krasne mel hrnuli se pfatele a zna mi novosvecencovi k oltaknimu zabradli, aby dostali od neho novoknelske po2e,hnani a obrazek na pamatku primice.

Odpoledne bylo po2ehnani. 81i jsme vgi chni, i tatinek, kterY chodil do kostela jen jeclenkrat za rok, na svaj svatek o svatem Josefu.

Po po2elmani gel tatinek ke "Zlatemu ba2antu" na obvykle taroky, sestry si hledaly vyraZeni mezi s yYmi znarnYrni a ja gel s maminkou pekne donna Mati se doma prestrojila, prisedla si ke nine a kdy2 name polaSkala, povi da: "Filipe, does, po te krasne a dojimaye kostelni siavnosti povim ti nem, cos ode mne nikdy nesly g el. Posly g ! Tatinek a ja., kdycZ jsme se vzali, touZili jsme miti chlapce, ale na ge prvni se nespinovalo. Ka2dy pfichod novorozenete jsme oeekavali s nadeji na spineni obapolne touhy, ale dostavovalo se vkly zklamani. Tatinek, kterY touZil miti nastupce

Ve stfedu, dne 12. imora 1958 sveho rodu, sloe Inc nefikal, ale ja jsem mu vyeetla, ialost z oci. A tu, Filipe, obratila jsem se o pornoc k Matce Bo2i a svato svate jsem ji slibila, da-li nam synaeka 2e bude knezem. Po tonato slibu po etyfech t yStch sestridkach pfi gel jsi ty, Filipe, na svet a s tebou nevYslovna radust do nagi rodiny. Kdy2 tatinek pfigel domu a zvedel, Ze ma chlapce, zlibal mne zhbal tebe, byl choval te, kolibal zpiva,1 ti. Od tveho zrozeni chodil do hostinee uZ jen jednou za. tYden. Tvoje sestry se o tebe tahaly, laskaly se s tebou, sal jsi z ruky do ruky. S tebou k nam Slo Stesti, u nas byl od te doby raj. Slib, kterY jsem Panne Marii v kostele ueinila, nosila jsem tajne ye svem srdci.

Kdy2 jsi vyel obecnou akoiu, vedla jsem to do gymnasia. Prispenim Panny Marie stal jsi se studentem. JeSte etyii roky tu dia na gynanasiu. a piljdel ke cti a chvale BoZi do seminale. Otyri leta ti tarn utekon jako voda, budeZ vysvecen., a ja budu moci v kostele Rodiece Boll sdeliti jsena slibu svemu dostala."

Po tomto driver-nem sde1eni hladila . me, libala a pak pokradovala: "Ani Filipe, jak budu t'a.stna, al te uvidim u °hake. Kaplanska Leta ti utekou, dostaneS fain a budeZ u lidi y e velike vaInosti jako nas pan dekan. Kei mi 13t1h a Rodieka Sal da zdravi, aby.ch se te radosti na tobe doekala."

Maminku, naSi zlatou maminku mel jsem nevYslovne rad, ale tentokrat mne pr j.eji fedi zamraziio. Knezem nikdy, nikdy nebudu! Ne, 2e bych ten sta y nendvide' nebo mel k nemu nejakS7 odpor, to ne, ale necitil jsem se prof' povolanSim. mai Bole, v2dyt' jako deli, jsme zhle dli papa dekana, o zavod jsme beteli mu mica polibit. Nebylo to jen za tu drobnou mind, kterou nas odmerioval, stadilo nam kdy2 nas pohladil, hebkYrni prsty do tvafe Atipl a pri tom rids jeho laskou dygici pohled ozarii. Ne, ne, odpor k stavu knei skernu to nebyl, bylo to nee° jineho, co se v dugi citilo, ale nedalo se to kid.

V duchu isem si "Filipe, pies to, 2e ma g maminku nevYslovne rad, v tomhle ji poslechnout nerntl2e g . Kdybys posiechl a gel do seminal-a, byl by z tebe najisto pan pater Vyklouz!"

Lida - to riejsou oveeky, to jsou vici!

Pan dekan je tak ReehetnY, .tedrY, a lide by ho jeSte svlekli z kabatu. Nezbude mu jednou ani na toms. Na poli o inich nedava pohrabovat, ale to sberakam nestaei, tahaji kiasy pfirno ze snopil, a pan. d_okan. ne2 by je pokart11, radeji s pole adejde. Zenske, 'ktere chodi na dekanstvi nakradou si pytle obili. Maji proto ve spodni sukni ohromnou zlodej skou kapsu.

Na podzim, kdy2 se vylairaji larambomy, co si tech vrchovatYch ko gika domu

Ve stredu, dne 12. lanora 1958 nanosi, ale to jim nestai! Pri vybirani brambor si delaji v zemi skrkre a kdyr se pole jak take sklidi a mohou prekopa vat, navezou si na trakati pytle brambor.

Na louce, jen at 'se nekdo podiva, .ake plochy nejbujneiri travy jsou vyraty!

Snad vrecky kozy a kralici, co je jich nas, jsou rivi na udet pana dekana. A nikdo, nikdo si z toho zlodejstvi nedela nejmenriho htichu. Jakypak hrich, kdyr je to pana dekana!

A tohle bys mel, Filipe, trpet? Ne, ne!

Take bys ne y ydrrel byt stale pripoutan ke kostelu, vysedat a. nastuzovat se y e zpovednici a lidem, co kradou, davat rozhtereni, aby hrerili znovu. Ra yner zaopatrovani neni nic prijemneho. Jsou na kailive nemoci, knez nemtire rici, re neptijde, musi! Jsou lido, kteri volaji kneze zbyteene. Stara Dlabolka vedle nas se dala ur etyrikrat zaopatrit, ale na onen svet se ji nechce. An ji bude trochu nevolno, vzkare si na dekanstvi zas.

Kdyr jsem nejevil zjevneho odporu pro ti planu sve matky, domnivala, chudak se, re s ni sauhlasim, re se snad na knerk3-r sta y terim. Ja jem zatim kul plany, jakz to situate vyklouznout.

Ve dne v noci jsem premkrlel, co a jak podniknout. Dlouho, dlouho byl jsem bezradnk, ar jsem pripadl na smelou myrlenku.

Vir co, Filipe, ty tajne prestoupir z gymnasia na uaitelskk irsta y. Povede-li se ti provesti to bez vedomi rodicu, jsi zachranen! Filipe zkus to, odvaInkm rte sti preje. Ueitelskk Ustav tu je, prijmou• li to zpet na gymnasium ur neptijder! provedenim tohoto Warm byla spojena velika starost; opatrit si propourteci vysvedeeni z gymnasia bez vedorni rodiet, pa,k vysvedeeni lekarske, jit bez nich na ueitelskk tistav k zapisu, pripravit se na zkourku a za dva mesice naueiti se obstojne hrati na housle.

Kdyr jsem si tohle vrecko predloril, div mi hlava nepraSkla. Kdyby mi i pri provedeni smeleho planu pralo, co ale maminka?

Fred tihou svedorni zarel jsem jednoho veeera do kostela. Nebylo tam rive dure.

Tajemne pritmi a posvatne ticho vyplnaval° celk prostor chramovk. 'Vend lam pa tu svitila, jako bludieka a u Fanny Marie dohotivalo na releznem ostnatem podstavci nekolik slabkch svieek.

Belounka socha Fanny Marie vystupovala z pritmi jako z oblak. Zahybarn k ni tichounce a nesmele. Tlukot mai° srd ce se zrychluje a zeailuje, do dure se mi vkrada tizkost.

'Svata Panno Maria, co rfiznkch proseb bolava srdce lidska jir k tobe poslala a co _jich jerte k tobe poke! I ja, jsem tu us pied tebou prosebne kledel!

Co tu tak kaliene rozjimam, verel nekdo tire do kostela. Jeho chod se staval elm dale znatelnejrim, poznavam, re se bliri k mne. Ted' tanul, rozrehnul svici, nebodl ji na hrot podstavce a prikieka I vedle mne. Ohlednu se, a tu stoji maminka.

Radostne prekvapend pohladila mne a vtisnukyri mi materskY polibek, zareptala: "Filipe, muj zlatk Filipe, ja„ vim po eem tourir. Bud' jen trpeli yk, (ism let utede jako voda, pak buder i ty velebnYm panem. Jen aby nam dal Pan Bilh zdravi!

Tak jsem to ovrem nemyslil!

Spolunak Olda rikaval: "Filipe, kdo vynarel studie, toho men obesit, ale toho, kdo zavedl prazdniny, vyhlasit za blahoslaveneho."

S touto filosofii Oldovou byl jsem zaje dno. Na prazdniny jsem se vadycky ten val ne ykslovne. Jen letos ne!

Byl konec rkolniho roku, dostavali jsme vysveddeni. Noc predtim jsem dlou ho neusinal. V hlave se mi rojily myrien ky, provazene pochybnosti ye zdar meho planu. Nejvetri starost mi delala maminks. Chudak se domnivala, ne se na seminar terim. Podati-li se mi muj plan, co si chudera poone? Je jisto, re ji oda padnu od srdce.

Kdyn byla rozdavand vysvedeeni, special jsem domu. Otec i matka si je dtkladne prohledli a byli spokojeni. VCdel jsem jiste, re se jir po nem shaneti nebudou. Slo jim hla yne o tom, abych snarl neztratil osvobozeni od placeni Skolneho.

Protore tehon dne men rani, vystupujiei ze rkoly, hlasiti svuj odchod v reditel ne, vratil jsem se do rkoly, abych si opatril propourtelici klausuli.

Kdo hlasil vystoupeni, mel prijit s ronebo jejich zastupci protone z kvar ty odchazelo innoho raku k ruznkm odvetvim lidskeho povolani, nebylo to tak prisne.

Vklouzl jsem do reditelny posledni z toho dtivodu, aby ze spolunaku nada neyodel, ne vystupuji. Reditel, ktereho jsme mei na teetinu, se na mne podival a vida, re drum v ruce vysvedeeni, tare se, co bych si pral.

Oznamil jsem, re vystupuji. ft editel vstal od stolu a povida: "Vy nam chcete odejit? To mile prekvapuje. Con se yam u nas nelibi? Ctyri nejhorri leta mate za sebou, od placeni rkolniho jste osvobozen a °derei byste nam? A co vlastue chcete delat?"

fitruns. 11 "Prosim, pane rediteli, nejspire pujdu do lekarny. Misto mean slibeno, ale pro ten pripad, ne by nejaka neptedvidana prekarka muj umysl zmarila, prosil bych vas pane rediteli, abych se mohl vratit k dalrimu studiu."

"Ovrem, Stehlieku, ovrem, jako hodnk rák mate u nas pro kardk pripad dvete oteyrenk, jen se yeas p?ihlaste! Studie prerurujete u nas zajiste s vedornim rodieta neni-lin pravda?"

"Ano, pane rediteli."

"Posad'te se tedy na chvilku!"

Potom vzal ode mne vysvedeeni, °brat!, je a zasednuv ke stolku, napsal na rubu propourteci formuli.

Zde to tedy mate, Stehlieku, preji yam aby se vain povolani jen jste si zvolil, libilo a abyste se co nejdrive mohl pochlubiti diplomem magistra farmacie."

Kdy2 jsem mu 'Active podekoval, polomi levici na ramen oa podav mi pravou, srdeene dodal: "Stehlieku, kdyby se yam v rivote jednou dobre vedlo, a to bych yam ze srdce pral, tedy na nas Ustav, jenr varn mornil cestu do nivota, nezapomente!

Mete s Bohem a rtesti vas provazej!"

Srdeenosti ieditelovou byl jsem dojat. Jedna starost byla s krku, ale krok, kterk jsem udinil bez svoleni rodieu vy volal ve mne velkk durevni neklid.

Vedle mne sect& be rkole spolunak, kterenau jsme vreobecne misto Oldrich rikali Olda. Byl to syn vyrriho atednika vkborneho eelisti. To by muj nejvernejSi a nejmilejri kamarad. Hral prekrasne na housle a na klavir. Rikalo se o nem, ne je talentovank.

Pod slibem prisne mloenlivosti jsem zasvetil Oldu do sveho planu a poMdal jsern ho, aby mne uvedl do hudebni teorie a do poeatku hry na housle.

Olda na mne vyvalil °et "Filipe, zaje tohle vrecko pravda." duSuj se mi, "Na mou duri, tuhle mar vysvedoeni s propcurteci poznamkou!"

"A co kdyn se ti tvtij plan nezdari?"

"Pak bych musel s tebou do kvinty."

"Imtirer na nine spolehnottt, Filipe, ze srdce rad ti budu napomocen. Housle ream dvoje. Ty, na ktere jsem se ja ti pujoim, na jak dlouho cheer. Co se ty ee hry na housle a hudebni teorie, budu ti ochotnkm ueitelem. Sluch hudebni mar, chut' ke hrani mit musir, proto pevne doufara, re si tolik, co se pro uditelskSr astav vyraduje, osvojir."

"Dekuji ti, Oldo. Pritel se ulkazuje v nouzi. A jerte nen! Mam obavu aby mne housle neprozradily."

"Vir co, ja prijdu zitra k yam a feknu, re sestavujeme studentskS7 sextet a ze to budeme potrebovat."

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Recalling Some Facts Abraham Lir :;oln Voice of Freedom

He who speaks for freedom, speaks for all time and, all humanity. Such a man was our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, whose b i r t h d ay we celebrate on the 12th of February. Freedom was his theme, and on this theme the "Great Emancipator" once said: "The fight must go on. The cause of liberty must not be surrendered at the end of one or even one hundred years.

In their right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, all races are equal.

The human heart is with us — God is With us. All mankind should be free."

So spoke Abraham Lincoln, speaking in the voice of the people, speaking throughout his life only that simple language.of the heart that speaks to all men for all time.

Born in a rude log cabin in Kentucky, he began his long journey to greatness es a woodcutter, farm laborer; Mississippi River boatman, clerk in an Illinois country store and village postmaster.

Educated himself with borrowed books at night, he was admitted to the bar and thrice elected to the Legislature of Illinois.

In 1861, Abraham Lincoln left his Springfield law office to become President of the United States at the beginning of the great struggle that was to determine whether our Union of States could exist half slave and half free.

Throughout thebitter conflict Lincoln's faith and his voice seldom faltered. His words, remembered by the American people, carried their challenge to every corner of the earth.

On the battlefield of Gettysburg, look-

ing to the future, he again proclaimed his faith: "We here highly resolve that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

"With malice toward none, with charity for all," he said toward the close of his address, "with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are In, to bind up the nation's wounds."

Ninety-six years have passed since an assassin's bullet ended Abraham Lincoln's life — in the full triumph of the cause to which he was dedicated.

But his words, spoken to the eternal conscious of mankind, still live in the hearts of millions, gaining new force against every thrust of tyranny that threatens the world anywhere. )•

Some time ago I called your attention to the fact that only the most selfish person will not provide adaquate life insurance for his Family.

In this day and age, respo gsible individuals are aware of the advantages of life insurance protection. Anything held to the contrary must simply be an excuse to avoid providing this protection for the family. Perhaps uppermost in the mind of such an individual would be his refusal to be tied down to making the necessary regular contributions for such a savings program. He must feel it is easier to spend the earnings for this and for that to satisfy his own wants only and let the family worry when he is gone. That certainly is a selfish attitude. The successful provider has a definite program or goal for the future of his family and he will make certain by every means at his disposal to assure the reaching of that goal. Through life insurance he can provide for the eompletion of his outlined program, even if he It has always seemed to me that should not live to see the goal attained. brotherhood must exist between men — A properly selected life insurance proas men — before it can exist between gram will achieve more than that, howraces, religious persuasions, or political ever.

Large Share of Families Buy. New Life Insurance

teal his conviction that anyone who disagreed with him was a fool. As a. result, his hopes and dreams were thwarted for years; he didnt live to see their fulfillment.

The rule-of-thumb is very simple: be as different as you like, but try to be tolerant of the people who differ from you. .T. • (

Every seventh family in the United States buys a new life insurance policy in a twelve month period, according to the Institute of Life Insurance. Every third family in the category of young married couples with children is a new life policy buyer in the year.

This is indicated in a new consumer survey it last year by the Survey Research Center of the University of aVichigan for the Federal Reserve Board.

"This indicates that in just five years, the families of Mexico, Puerto Rico and France, for instance, have doubled' or nearly doubled the effectiveness of their life insurance ownership," the Institute said. "And in most countries the increase in effectiveness has been extensive, up one-third in the United States and even more than that in Canada." )• •(

The Test of a Friend Friends are hard to come by in this life, as anyone who has ever had occasion to have one's friends tested undoubtedly knows. Nevertheless, one of life's greatest joys is to have one true friend — or more — if that fortunate circumstance should favar an individual, One will find that the test of friendship comes when it costs something to remain a loyal friend. The money test will eliminate 90 per cent of one's friends, but the test which will eliminate 90 per cent is the occasion which demands loyalty to a friend who is suda denly an "expensive" friend.

Realizing that no one is perfect, we must all adjust our thinking and philosophy to the fact that our friends wii make mistakes, just as we will. Misla takes must be forgiven, although not necessarily forgotten, in spite of giveand-take, and comradeship. And, just as misfortune can alienate sunshine,friends, success often alienates thosc' who appear to be true friends. While envy and jealousy do not part genuine friends, such developments inevitably., part the sunshine variety.

Using the Bible as a guide and some.: of the great examples of friendship and love in history, one can generally settle: upon one basic rule for friendship. It we can be happy over the sudden sitc. ..a, cess and wealth of our friend, share hiS' misfortune and, unpopularity, if that is the turn of events, and stand ready 1,9,, help or advise, or even get out of the way, as the occasion may warrant, we have come close to being a true friend.

Finally, if you have such a friend, loyal all the way, hold on to him or her. That should be your most prized posession, outside of God and your fam ily.

There is such a thing as over-work, I but not many people run the risk.

FOREIGN-BORN AMERICANS OBTAIN MORE SKILLED JOBS Foreign-born Americans are getting much better jobs than they used to, according to a recent study of the U.S. Census.

The study was made by Dr. E. P. Hutchinson of the University of Pennsylvania in co-operation with the U.S. Department of Commerce. It appears in a treatise entitled "Immigrants and Their Children, 1850-1950".

"There is found to have been," Dr. Hutchinson reports," a distinct upward movement of the foreign-born workers between 1910 and 1950 away from manual and unskilled labor and toward more skilled employment."

"In this, the foreign-born were following the general trend of the entire labor force, but their advance was more rapid.

The foreign-born have made great strides in gaining employment as professional and technical workers and in managerial clerical, and sales positions; and they are less strongly identified with unskilled labor," Dr. Hutchinson commented.

He continues, "What is more, nativeborn children of the foreign-born are doing better than their parents. "The second generation is conspiciously more successful than the first in entering the professions." Nor, he says, are their jobs confined to a few major fields of employment; they have an "occupational distribution close to that of the entire white labor force." * CRITICISM

• Women's Nook LODGE NO. 54 WEST, TEXAS Dear Brothers and Sisters: Our Lodge held its regular meeting 'ast Sunday, the attendance was small, E guess it was because the weather was nice and warm and most of the people went out riding instead of coming to the meeting.

No business was brought up, the Financial report for the year 1957 was read and it was also decided to have the booklets on Local Lodge Rules printed ay the Supreme Lodge.

A moment of silence was held in memory of deceased Brother Henry Snapka, who passed away in Corpus Christi about two weeks ago.

Resolution was read for Sister Jenofefa Bartosh.

There have been several members on the sick list, they are Sister Albina Mikeska, mother of our Financial Secretary George Mikeska who is very sick in the hospital, Brother Joe M. Marek was sick but is feeling better, and , Sister Regina Hromadka is still on the sick list, but is improving, we are glad to hear that she is out of the hospital and is now convalacing in the home of her son, Henry Hromadka who came home from North Africa to be at the bedside of his mother. We hope all three of these members will soon be up and around.

We were all glad to see Brother Leo and Sister Millie Girard of Waco among us at the meeting. Everyone was glad to see both of them looking so well after having been sick for about a year. Here's hoping to see both of you often at our meetings. We wish that all the ones that missed our last meeting will be there next time. We would love to see you all!

VESTNtK WEST, TEXAS

Strana, 21

FL2:1TERNAL TOPICS Dallas, Texas February fifth, 1958 Sisters and Brothers: During these lost twelve months you may have noticed the same thing I did notice; that is, that many letters published in our. Vestnik's colums have been highly praised editorially, though they had absolutely no value for the membership at large, while letters that were of considerable value to our membership, letters that contained ideas and thoughts about our SPJST's progress, met with very frigid silence, if not with a direct rebuke.

One such real valuable letter expressing several fundamental ideas about our insurance set-up is a letter by Brother John Stasa, member of lodge Anton Cermak, No. 56 of our SPJST, located in Corpus Christi. This letter was in Vestnik No. 1, dated January 1 and is in the Czech section of that Vestnik on page 6 column three and continued on page seven, colum one. If you have missed reading this letter and still have that number of Vestnik at home, you may learn something if you find it and read it.

In the first paragraph I made the statement that such fine letters are met with frigid silence, if not a direct rebuke. And here we have it!

In Vestnik No. 2, dated January 8, 1953, on page two, third column, we have a stern admonition and a request, that if at any time you find a report or reports in Vestnik that, according to your point of view, are not clear or correct, or if the reports do not harmonize or agree, hafore you decide to write to the Vestnik- about it, that you please write first for an explanation to the Supreme Lodge.

We here at the Steiner home have the ugly habit that we read the Vestnik aloud and p articipate immediately in discussion of what we read, if it is really important. So, immediately after reading these sixteen lines, seven of them in thick letters, I remarked to my wife, sister Frances Steiner: "This announcement is a direct slap at Brother Stasa for his article on our pro posed insuraner set-up in the last issue of VestWhat Brother Stasa wrote about is not a trivial matter, a small office mistake or some misinformation that has to be corrected and that influences only one or two members. His contribution was for the benefit of the whole Order and of our future organizational work and asking for a private explanation to to one inch\ ideal certainly will not co y -

er the interest of membership at large.

They all should know.

And that our membership is interested proves the fact, that during thtfive weeks since the publication of Brother Stasa's letter I have talked about that letter to many of our members, some of them• almost 350 miles from my home — and found them very much interested and agreeable with Brother Stasa's ideas. Asked why they do not express their approval in Vestnik, several said they had no hope of their letter ever being published; others said they were not handy with a pen and hence do not write.

As it is may safely be assumed, that advise to first write to Supreme Lodge for information is really an attempt to discourage any discussion of any important matter pertaining our Order; criticisaa permitted by article 61 of our present by-la ws -- an article that is in Our by-laws, under one or another number, for thirty one years, adopted first in the East Bernard convention in 1936 and re-enacted, often with liberal improvements, in every convention since.

Our Vestnik is to all of our members a medium for interchange of ideas the economical way, for the member that wishes to let his fellow members know what is on his mind. Brother Stasa is well known all over the State to hundreds of members personally who also are his friends -- and further to thousands from his many and fine articles in our Vestnik.

We all know that he is a clear and s!aiaight thinker and one who does not hesitate to express his thoughts. He has taken part in many important improvements in our Order and this fact will be acknowledged by many members. No wonder then, that he goes to the trouble to express his fears and misgivings about that basic change in our insurance set-up and excersizes his membership rights to tell his many friends and all other members of our SPJST. And he has a good reason. • Let us take a closer look at that announcement regarding this change of plans, as printed in our Vestnik No. 20, issued on May 15, 1957 as part of a report of minutes of a Supreme Lodge meeting in April 1957 and reprinted in Brother Stasa's letter; here it is: "U-on motion duly made, seconded, and carried, the recommendation submitted by Insurance Committee, that we revise our rates and adopt the 3c/c Commissioners Standard Mortality rates or tables was approved."

No wonder that Brother Stasa is ex-

pressing considerable doubt about this change. That announcement leaves much room for misgivings and speculation. It (that announcement) does not say whether that change is to be made on all our present plans and rates or whether it is to be adopted for and control only any additional classes of insurance to be adopted in the future; which later plan would be perfectly within article 50-b of our by-laws.

Brother Stasa rightly points out that in the intervening time -- from April 1957 to the time of his letter, (some eight months), no explanation of that announcement was fortcoming, leaving the membership to speculation, and we all nay thank him for opening this question. Brother Stasa rightly, points out that those members, that are not conversant with the inner working of insurance, will be at a loss to finire out the proper meaning of that announcement.

And his statement, that though he is not an expert, he knows that our present rates gave the SPJST over 120% solvency, which means around two million dollars over the required 100% reserves as demanded by the State law.

(It is closer to two-and-a-half million dollars. That 20% over the 100% valuation is some 1 and 1/2 million and we have about another one and a half million in unassigned funds — Steiner).

And his remark, that such excess reserve is more than sufficient and that we could afford to pay dividends from it is very pertinent comment.

Brother Stasa does express his fears that this change form one mortality table to another, at a lower interest on the reserves of our members may mean increasing the premiums of our many fine plans of insurance. Perhaps his fear of an increase is based on some irresponsible talk he and I and surely many other members have heard; that our present rates are insufficient. The irresponsible teller of this nonsense plum forgot that almost two-and-ahalf million dollar surplus we have. And the listeners did not think of it to ask "how come we have that much if the rates are insufficient?"

Now, in Vestnik No. 5, dated jant•,ry 29, our vice president Brother Joe " eleiny has an explanation that I liberty to quote verbatim. Be sies.

"This will not effect the premi ems er classes of insurance we now have, as this will apply only to classes or types of insurance which we may adopt. Vid must remember that it would take the act of the governing body which is our

fitrana 22

VESTNIK

convention to make a change which would effect our nresent classes of insurance" And he is eminently right! Now, why could not the original announcement of the • change have been expressed in the same terms?

At the banquet of organizers of the fifth and third district at the lodge home of Slovanska No. 66 last fall all those present could hear me state that I think the CSO table is rather advantageous to us. And it is! Depends cn how you handle it.

Fraternally yours, Frank B. Steiner Editor's note: — Our notation in the Czech section in No. 2 issue was not intended as you state, as a "rebuke" to our Brother Stasa. This notation was meant in a general way to keep our Vestnik clear of controversies that are a detriment to our cause. Furthermore, I do not think that our Brother Stasa needs anyone , to plead his case.

The Golden Duck (Old Czech Fairy Tale) Once upon a time there was a king who had four sons. One day the queen said to him: "It is time that one of our boys went out into the world to make his fortune."

"I have been thinking that very same thing," the king said. "Let us get ready Raduz, our youngest, and send him off with God's blessing."

Preparations were At once made and

Wednesday, February 12, 1958 in a few days Raduz bid his parents farewell and set forth.

He traveled many days and many nights over desert plains and through dense forests until he came to a high mountain. Halfway up the mountain he found a house.

He thought to himself, "I '11 stop here, and see if they will take me into service."

Now this house was occupied by three people: old Yezibaba, who was a bad old witch; her husband, who was a wizard but not so bad as Yezibab; their daughter, Ludmila, the sweetest, kindest girl that two wicked parents ever had.

"Good day to you all," Raduz said, as he stepped into the house and bowed.

"The same to you," old Yezibaba answered.

"What brings you here?"

"I am looking for work and I thought you might have something for me to do."

"What can you do?" Yezibaba asked.

"I will do anything you set me to. I am trustworthy and industrious."

Yezibaba didn't want to take him, but the old man wanted him and in the end Yezibaba with every ill grace consented to give him a trial.

He rested that night and early next morning presented himself to the old witch and said: "What work am I to do today mistress?"

Yezibab looked him over from head to foot. Then she took him to a window and said: "What do you see out there?"

"I see a rocky hillside."

"Good. Go to that rocky hillside, cultivate it, plant it in trees that will grow, blossom, and bear fruit tonight. Tomorrow morning bring me the ripe fruit.

Here is a wooden hoe with which to work."

"Alas," thought Raduz to himself, "did ever a man have such a task as this?

What can I do on that rocky hillside with a wooden hoe? How can I finish my task in so short a time?"

He started to work but he hadn't struck three blows with the wooden hoe, before it broke. In despair he tossed it aside and sat down under a beech tree.

In the meantime the wicked old Yezibaba had cooked a disgusting mess of toads which she told Ludmila to carry out to the serving man for his dinner.

Ludmila was sorry for the poor young man who had fallen into her mother's clutches and she said to herself: "What has he done to deserve such unkind treatment? I won't let him eat this nasty mess. I will share my own dinner with him."

She waited until her mother was out of, the room, then she took Yezibaba's magic wand and hid it under her apron.

Vt STNi It

WEST, TEXAS

After that she hurried to Raduz, whom she found sitting under the beech tree with his face in his hands.

Don't be discouraged," she said to him. "It i true your mistress cooked you a mess of toads for your dinner, but, see, I have thrown them away and have brought you my own dinner instead. As for your task," she_ continued, "I will help you with that. Here is my mother's magic wand. I have but to strike the rocky hillside and by tomorrow the trees that my mother has ordered will spring up, blossom, and bear fruit."

Ludmila did as she promised. She struck the ground with the magic wand and instead of the rocky hillside there rows of trees that blossomed and bore fruit as you watched them.

Raduz looked from Ludmila to the orchard and couldn't find words with which to express his surprise and gratitude. Then Ludmila spread out her dinner and together they ate, laughing merrily and talking. Raduz would have kept Ludmila all the afternoon but she remembered that Yezibaba was waiting for her and she hurried away.

The next morning Raduz presented to Yezibaba a basket of ripe fruit. She sniffed it suspiciously and then very grudgingly acknowledged that he had accomplished his task.

"What am I to do today?" Raduz asked.

Yezibaba led him to a second window and asked him what he saw there. " See a rocky ravine covered with brambles," he ssaid.

"Right. Go now and clear away the brambles, dig up the ravine and, plant it in grape vines. Tomorrow morning bring me the ripe grapes. Here is another wooden hoe with which to work."

Raduz took the hoe and set to work manfully. At the first blow the hoe broke into three pieces.

"Alas," he thought, "what is going to happen to me now? Unless Ludmila helps me again, I am lost."

At home Yezibaba was busy cooking a mess of serpents. When noonday came she said to Ludmila: "Here, my child, is dinner for the serving man. Take it out to him."

Ludmila took the nasty mess and, as on the day before, threw it away. Then again hiding Yezibaba's wand under her apron, she went to Raduz, carrying in her hand her own dinner.

Raduz saw her coming and at once his heart grew light and he thought to himself how kind Ludmila was and how beautiful.

The young man's conversation made it clear he was strictly modern in his outlook.

"Do you object to the Ten Commandments, son?" asked the clergyman.

"No, not exactly, but a fellow hates to have 'thou shalt' and 'thou shalt not' flung at his all the time. They are too arbitrary."

The minister smiled to himself and then made a turn off the road. Suddenly the youth grasped,the arm of his companion and said in an excited voice: "You've taken the wrong road; the signpost said straight ahead to town."

"Oh," chuckled the minister, "I hate to be told to go this way and that by an arbitrary signpost."

An embarrassed laugh from his redfaced young companion told its own story, as they turned back and obeyed the arbitrary signpost. ) •4•( If you can not do anything else for your fraternity, please hand your fraternal paper to your neighbor or friend.

• •( ST. VALENTINE'S DAY There's something about the 14th of February that makes people fall in love or so people have believed for 3,000 years.

Long before Christ, the Romans held a romantic holiday on February 14 called the Lupercalia. On that day, each young man reached into an urn and drew out the name of a girl: she became his, sweetheart, for the year.

Selecting your sweetheart by lot did not fit later, Christian, ideas. Church fathers, trying to discourage the custom, decided to change the name of the old holiday. A saint's name, they reasoned, would help young people to remember the divine nature of love.

Looking back into their church records, they discovered that in the year 270, a Christian named Valentine had been martyred during the feast of the Lupercalia. Why not re-name the feast for him?

But who was Valentine? It is one of the strange ironies of history that the world remembers nothing about him but the date of his death. Nobody knows, now, what he looked like, where he came from, whether he was a rich man of a slave.

But, because he died on February 14, his name has ever since been associated with love. Ironic, but strangely appro-

To Our Youth And Youth Leaders (Continued)

By Our Vice President, J. B. Hejny

CHAPTER 8 Invite Pals, Friends, and Schoolmates To Join The S P J S T Order For a Youth Club to function properly it is necessary to keep increasing • the membership of the Lodge. The best policy for increasing the membership is to recruit new members while they are your g.

Al: ;4.1.er membership plan is to have '‘n invite their pals, friends and schoolmates to join and participate in ) ) he club, decreational programs and activities. When the new recruits attend the activities the Director should personally greet each one, introduce him to the members and explain in detail the Proerams and activities sponsored by the CI i; b: In .oane cases a child who has heard of the Youth Club's activities and pro.-grair.s will ask to join, but in most cases ' it is • necessary for the Director, Commit'Ice. and members to do the recruiting.

CHAPTER 9 Plan Varied Programs A" balanced program to be successful must retain the interest of all children in the Club, therefore, it is obvious that in planning programs the Director and the Committee should consult the children in the selection of various activities to determine the variety needed to retain their enthusiasm and interest.

CHAPTER 10 Bulletin Board ,To pro p erly advertise future programs and actieities we recommend the use of a..bulletin board. This board eon be , roade of various materials such as wood, rheay,y. smooth cardboard, wallboard or ,slate. The bulletin board should be ..fastcned to a wall or iloor in a promi„Rent: place where it can be seen and wh6ra notifications of future. programs, activities, tours or outings can be made.

CHAPTER 11 SuggeSted Programs of Outdoor Activi`,ties, Sports, Various Activities Sports— baseball:, softball, kitten ball, ‘v011ey ball, hand ball, basketball, swimining. tennis golf, socker, skating, fish' ing and croquet.

Outings -- contest, games, camping, hiking. hunting, wiener roasts, fish fry, ry, beach party and nature study.

CHAPTER 12 osgge:tedi Programs of Indoor Activities, Sports, Contests, Hobbies Sports -- Basketball, Volley ball, Softball Head ball Swimming, Bowling Boxinge *restling, Ping Pang, Skating, TraCk

Quizzes, Spelling Bees, Wood Carving, Clay Modeling, Movies, Essays and Poems, Playlets, Hobbies, Drill Team.

CHAPTER 14 Recognition of Abilities, Sportsmanship rn Competition It is advisable for the Youth Director and Committee to yr , ,,mire the ability of boys and girls p luipating in any contest, game or sp t The boys and girls should be complimented not only for their ability but more so for their sportsmanship and fair play. When child' en are competing in games, contests or sports it is well to establish a point or credit system. Using this plan one point or credit for sportsmanship, and two points given for attendance. During the course of the evening of activities if children become unruly or exceptionally noisy or illmannered. one point or credit could be deducted.

A visible chart should be used showing all the members' names and listing the different meetings or activities during the quarter. At the end of each meeting or activity the points or credits should be posted nod totaled showing the leaders. At the erid of the quarter or given period one or more winners could be given some small gift or award for recognition of his abality, sportsmanship and fair play. This of course, in addition to prizes given by the Supreme Lodge.

CHAPTER 15

Necessity of Insurance The great objective of life insurance is to protect the home and to safeguard the interests of its members. In fulfilling this objective, life, insurance had paid millions of dollars to those in need and has made life more livable for millions of others who have faced heavy expenses when loved ones were cal;od to their eternal reward.

Indoor Activities -- Games, Contests, Every person needs life insurance for

various reasons. Some people purchase insurance to protect their family and loved ones; some, for an education; others, too protect themselves in their old age; and others, to protect and pay a mortgage or other debt in case of the death of the wage-earner.

From a childs viewpoint, he has three important reasons for having insurance; first, to protect his family in the event his death occurs; second, to guarantee a college education; third, to have life insurance protection at the lowest cost possible. During the formative years contributions are extremely low; therefore, it is sound advice to purchase as much insurance as it is possible to carry.

CHAPTER 16 Explanation of Juvenile forms of Insurance The Juvenile Department of the SPJ ST offers the following popular forms of insurance certificates issued in amounts of $500.00 to $10,000.00, except the Juvenile Term to age 16 is up to $1,000.00 only.

Strum 27

Thirty Days Behind The Iron Curtain Continued Everyone fell asleep one by one. Then several hours later again everyone began to get around. There always was a rush to the rest rooms and also always there was a waiting line. Just about this time everyone was ready for breakfast as we have flown several hours and non stop from Amsterdam to New York. A lovely stewardess brought us each a tray, loaded with good food. We each had an egg, ham, salami, cheese,- butter, rolls, and coffee. The coffee was the best treat to all of us, as this was the best cooked coffee since June 10th and that was in Amsterdam.

After breakfast everyone was excited as we were nearing the United States.

At this time the plane wasn't flying at such a high altitude and we could see islands and water below. We were told that we were flying over Nova Scotia and that meant we were nearing our destination, the Idlewilde airport. It wasn't long and were told to fasten our safety belts and "No smoking" sign lighted and that was the signal that no one was to smoke as the plane was landing.

The Idlewilde Airport it a huge airport. Planes were seen on every side and the lengthy runways were all full. It wasn't long and we all went through the gates and all had to have the passport and vaccination card in hand. All of our passports and vaccination cards were inspected and we walked a little further and, once again our passoprts were examined. From .here we were told to go to the Custom Counter and have all our luggage checked. Here the luggage is placed in alphabetical order and it was easily found. Some of the custom officers were easy on us, while others had to open all packages. It's easy to pack a suitcase, but let a custom officer go through it, than it isn't that funny.

After all of us had our luggage checked we were told to go to the restaurant for breakfast. Mind you we all had breakfast aboard the plane, and we were supposed to eat again, We had to wait till eight o'clock and than all 56 of us had our breakfast served. This may sound silly to many readers, but on American breakfast was the best news at the moment. Four of us, Mrs. Annie Jezek, Mr. Sustala, Mr. Fred Socha and yours truly discussed what we would have Of couse, it was scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, juice coffee and sweet rolls. Each of us were allowed two dollars for breakfast and this was a treat from the KLM.

BY BETTY JURICA We were told that we would leave the airport at 11:00 o'clock. In the meantime several of us rented lockers and stored articles that we carried, such as coats, cameras, hats, and KLM bags.

Mrs. Jezek and I decided that we would buy souvenirs for our children, so shopped in the gift shops in the airport.

Than again we were told that we would leave at 1:00 o'clock, so again we wandered around. One o'clock came around and still no plane. By now everyone was tired of waiting and were enxious to get on our plane and head for Houston.

The airport was so crowded that we all could not have a seat. At 2:15 a. m. finally our plane flew in from New Jersey. The fifty-six Texans were ready to make the last hop and that was the Internationl Airport in Houston.

As once again we were flying and we settled down, the stewardess asked us of we had dinner, of course we hadn't becatise we didn't think of food at the airport and than we didn't know the definite hour of our departure once again we were served a cold plate lunch.

It was a seven hour flight from New York to Houston.

We arrived in Houston just before sundown Many in the group had relatives and friends, waiting for them. Excitement was everywhere as the homefolks wanted to hear of our experience behind the Iron Curtain. Mr. Cerny of San Antonio was also at the airport.

After our luggage was checked out a bus took us and the luggage to the bus depot. That night the seven Corpus Christians boarded a bus and were homeward bound. We arrived in Corpus Christi at 4:30 in the morning.

I'm sure that this trip "Behind the Iron Curtain" will be well remembered by all of us that had the chance to go mere last June. Also I'm sure that there will be few that will repeat this trip in the near future. It was a wonderful experience for all of us and it also brought happines to many. Several of the Texans have relatives in Czechoslovakia and haven't seen them for as much as sixty years ago. For many it was much joy and at the same time sorrow.

So now dear Vesta k reades I concluded my travelogue. I hope that you readers had as much pleasure in reading my letter as I had the pleasure in writing it.

Since my arrival from the wonderful trip. I have received letters and cards from several that made the trip. Again

I have made new friends here and abroad also. Now at present I am corresponding with a friend that I met on the tour. She lives in Zavadka, okres Erezno in Slovakia. Another friend that I met, lives in Ostrava, tothis friend I correspond in English. It is lots of fun corresponding with new friends in foreign countries. I also mailed many Christmas Cards abroad. As I've mentioned in my first article, that by accident, we met Mr. Kos at Hlubouka, he is a brother to Joe Koss in Houston.

I also mailed him pictures that we took at Hotel obec. Now I'm wondering if I'll hear from any of them. In early December I mailed six large packages to friends and kinfolks in Czechoslovakia.

Dear readers, have a heart and send used clothing to your friends and relatives. There are many families that are in need of clothing and every bit helps, I know because I've seen the need of clothes over there. Anyone that r would like information "how to send clothing", get in touch with me. Have a heart and spare your used clothes with someone else that isn't that lucky.

The End. Betty Jurica Rt. 2, Box 899 Corpus Christi, Texas --) • 4 • (

Success Or Failure Abiding love in marriage is nurtured by mutual respect. And to maintain this respect there must be innate decency of attitude in both partners — a kind of modesty, courtesy and fastidiousness in all that pertains to close association.

When this is habitual deportment in man and wife, usually they cordially vie with each other to be first in doing the gracious thing.

Your husband's sloppy habits and surly refusal to share a friendly discussion of the conflict mark him as the person at fault in the squabble. One wonders if his life on the raod is bringing influences into his thinking that war against married unity.

Sociologists, exploring factors that foster success or failure in marriage, report that by and large traveling men are poor risks as husbands. Probably it is because their work gives themt a too easy out from the challenge of accommodating to double harness. They can keep difficulties at arm's length by refusing to face them while at horne and escape back to the road.

'PEARL Beer sales were 943,316 barrels, which is more than 300 million bottles and cans. This means that over one mil lion iottles and cans were sold every busine: , s day during 1957.

"In 1954, 1955, 1956 and again P Beer was first l ast year PEARL in sales among all beers sold in Texas.
