Ve stredu dne 26. &lora obdr2elo Ceske Literarni. Sdru2eni pri Texaske sta.tni universite v Austin smutnou zpravu od spisovatele J. L. Mikolage ze Skalice u F't. Ydku: "Dnes 21. imora bude v Opave pohiten Petr Bezrue". Na druhY den konala se schrize Sdru2eni, aby uc'Lena, byla pamafka yelikeho basnika.

Promluvil Dr. Ed. Mieek, profesor slovanskYch ,jazykii a mimo j ine tekl: Je malo lidi, kteri poznali basnika osobne, ale wade, kde 2iji nasinci, jsou znamy jeho "Slerske pisne". Kdy2 jsem roku 1930 ptijel z Texasu na navgtevu rodneho Ceskoslovenska, byl jsem prateli vyzy dn, abych nav gtivil Petra Bezruee.

Tehdy byl v srpnu na letnini byte ve Frengtatu pod Radho gtem, z jeho2 okoli ptijelo mnoho krajani a krajanek do Texasu. VypraVil jsem se k nemu easne rano. Lilo jako z kenve a pri gel jsem promoeen. Priial me ptatelsky. Prave s nekolika prateli snidal. Vyptaval se me na Arneriku i na LondYn, proto2e yodel, jsem tam roku 1923 studoval na Kralovske kolleji LondYnske university a poznal spisovatele Paul Selvera, jen ptelo2i1 jeho basic do anglickeho jazyka velmi dovedne. Kdy2 jsem pied polednem odch.azel. litoval, 2e se nevyjasnilo a tekl 2e bychom se byli vypravili na jeho zamilovane hory. Zadal me odchodu, abych vyridii krajannm v Americe jeho pozdrav, co2 jsem rad ueinil.

Roku 1938. brzy po ne gt'astnem Mnichove, poslal jsem mu pozvani do slunneho Texasu. Odpo yedel pratelskYrn do-. pisem a litoval, 2e pozvani nemfr2e prijati, proto2e se starSrm lidem gpatne, cestuje. Veal jsemo 2e jeho zdravi bylo podryto v dobe prvni svetove valky, kdy byl veznen rakouskSrmi tyrant'. Jeho pritel mi vypravova.1, ze po propu gteni z yezeni ve Vidni, kdy se koupal v tece Moraviei, "byl jen kost a kif2e."

Petr Bezrue, pravYm jmenem Vladimir Vagek, narodil se dne 15. zari 1867 ye slerske °pave, ale svVmi "SlerskYmi pisnemi" stal se basnikem nejen sveho redneho kraje slerskeho, nYbr- .2 ygeho narodnostne a hospodaksky utlaoovaneho lidu eeskeho. Byl va gnivSim turistou progel pegky cele Teginsko, Opaysko a Moravu. Ve sv.Veh 86 letech je gte vystoupil na Lysou horu, aby pokochal se pohledem na rodnST kraj, jen2 mu prirostl k srdci. Vnem 211 pies devadesat let.

Nage Ceske Literarni Sdru2eni zataclilo do nove eitanky Jaro jeho podobenku i ukazku jeho . rukopisu, do eitanky Leto podobenku a baseii uspech ,do eltanky Podzim basal. Ostrava a do eitan-

Anglicky psane rukopisy student-a, obirajici se tivotem krajanu v Americe, neb dejinnYm prinosem 6echil a Slovakti, maji bYt zaslany do 15. dubna, t. r., na adresu The Council of Higher Education Literary Contest, Box 134, Brookfield, Ill. Patnact nejlepS'ich obdrti penetite ceny, prvni 100 dolarti.

Pokladam mySlenku za velmi St'astnou a hodnou obecne podpory: velikost Ameriky netkvela nikdy v jeji jednolitosti, nYbrt v jeji pestrosti. Ani budoucnost Ameriky se nezaruei nejakYm kornformismem, bohutel az priliS se rozmaha jicim, zejmena mezi mladezi, nYbrt harmonisaci kulturnich vlivu a proudu co nejrozlienejSich. Spojene Stay :maji hello Ex pluribus unum. (Z mnolaeho je dno), a dtikaz neni jen na onu jednotu, nSibrt i na skuteenost, te tato jednota ma vyrast v rozdilu.

VSichni vime, te v Americe zejmena na americk3"Tch Skolach, se at prilfS zdtiraziluje jen minulost a tradice anglosas 10". a podcenuji se tradice ostatnich narodnosti, ktere Spojene Staty vytvorily.

Nepravem!

Amerika, chce-li slavne uvest svaj historickY akol a bYt vadkyni nejen litickou, nYbrt i kulturni svobodneho sveta, musi si uvedomit, ze vznikla jako atasna a velkolepa stavba a snad vice net jednou narodni tradici, snad vice net jedrihn jedinYm narodem. ftee vSak neni jedinou formou narodni kultury, Dejiny Ameriky nepoealy ani vyhlaknim samostatnosti, ba ani objevenim KolumbovYm a dovolte, abych jako tech take pripojil, te k americkYm dejinarn patri take zlata, doba eeskeho umeni za Karla IV., Hus, Mora ySti bratri, Ceske narodni vzkriSeni. Dvorak, Slue tana, Sokol a mnoho jineho. A jako je, tvrdim, velmi SpatnYm Amerieanem ten, kdo nevi nic o kulture a dejinach Anglie, tak je SpatnYm Amerieanern i Arne riean eeskoslovenskeho pavodu, kterY za nedba, tivit v americke kulture ono seek tum, ktere stab° u jeho kolebky.

Soutet je tentokrate jen anglicka. Dovoluji si zdvorilST dotaz zaslot zilyr poradatelam, zda by nebylo motno priSte dot na vybranou, chteji-li sue prate psat an glicky nebo Cocky a slovensky.

Posledni udalosti politicke, vedeeke po kroky ruskeho naroda a uvedomneni si anierirkYch hospodarskYch a kulthrnich zajnia na celem svete, vyvolaly po torn, aby se Amerieane ucili co nej vice cizYin reeem. Nam se Boma rikalo, ko lik reel umiS, tolikrat jsi se narodil.

Nute, co je prirozenejSiho, net aby American jehot puvod byl nekde na Loire krome anglietiny umel franeoutskY? Co je prirozenej§iho, net aby American jehot kolebka stala nekcie u Vltavy, nebo u. Moravy, mluvil take sprawl:, tasky?

Tim spite, ze CeStina je neck k €,,statnina slovanskYm jazykam, jimit mluvi na etyrt -miliardy lidi? Donanivate se, te byl Proto horSim Amerieanem? Nikoliv, je jisto, te by byl Amerieanem lepSim.

Kdy2 ptiplula ke Jenik k ni pristoupil, pekne se ji poklonil a na jeji otazku, odkud a kdo je, a kam jede, pravil: "Kupec jsem z daleke zeme krasna panno.

"Ach, }Ada cone, jak to bude, vidyt' ja se mladYm udelati nemohu!"

"Kdybys mel Zivou a mrtvou vodu, udelal bys se mladym," odpovedela morska panna. Tu chvili zavolal kral sluhu a kazal Mu poptat se po Zive a mrtve vode.

Ihned si dal kral Jenika zavolati, kazal mu ptinesti Zive i nortve vody — "a kdy te vody do tketi ho dne nedoneseS, na kusy te darn rozsekat!"

Fraternal Insurance System Fraternal insurance is no new venture.

It has been a powerful factor in American life for many decades. One society, completed its first century in 1954. Others are soon to share this distinction.

The benefits paid since organization by fraternal insurance societies have reached the tremendous total of $7,700,000,000.

The tabulation of this data is not called for by the insurance departments and has been continued by adding the total paid during the year to the previous total. This question of the information blanks sent out is frequently unanswered or has a question mark in reply.

The following comment made a year ago on this type of work still applies and is in full force and effect.

There are many trying experiences in such statistical effort. Proofs come with entire changes in rate schedules when no intimation of such changes appeared in the initial report.

There are omissions of some essential information on numerous items which are important. But to compensate for them is the joy of noting the progress made and the onward march of the fraternal cause.

We hear occasionally those who feel that the pace is not fast enough. They frequentl3r fail to remember that fraternal insurance is largely designed for those of moderate means and that tremendous amounts on one life is not in line with its main objectives. These large certificates are the exceptions, rather than the rule.

There is no merit in resting on moderate and steady progress. Future goals should be for bigger and better gains coming through improved and enlarged field representation. What has been accomplished in the past decade is evidence that the pace will be faster. Under today's operations it is necessary to have loyal, well trained and capable field representatives of the type which can inspire confidence. The lay member can still render excellent assistance but he can't be expected to be an expert insurance adviser and the sole source of new applications. He alone can't meent the inroads coming from breaks in the ranks from death, lapses and surrenders.

The future of fraternal insurance is one which is most promising. The fraternal insurance system is based on altruistic home protection and the banding together for mutual protection of groups which have high objectives.

About Our Last Will

As You Think

We have had an opportunity to hear Judge Hartsfied and we thought his comments would be of interest to our Readers: He said, we all should see to it that provisions for disposition of our property have been set down in proper drawn will.

An individual may dispose of his belongings, both real and personal, in almost any manner he wishes if he takes the necessary steps prior to his death.

After death the State of Texas writes the will of any person who dies without one, Judge Hartsfield said.

He explained that he has handled 350 probate cases since he has been in office and that most of them were cases in which no will had been prepared. He related how the interest of minor children is protected by the state, often at a great cost to the estate and to the detriment of the remaining parent or guardian.

Judge Hartsfield also mentioned briefly his handling of mental cases. About 75 per cent of the people who must contact his office because of mental illness on the part of a relative do so with a sense of shame, he said.

Mental illness is something that can happen to anyone under today's stresses, he said and is no more a cause for shame than an appendectomy. Most cases of mental illness can be cured if treatment begins early enough and properly, he said but often the feeling of shame causes delay in treatment and makes a cure impossible. )• •(

As you think, you travel; and as you love you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where you thoughts take you. You can not escape the result of your thoughts, but you can endure and learn, can accept and be glad. You will realize the vision (not the idle wishof your heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly most love. Into your hands will be placed the exact result of your thoughts: you will receive that which you earn; no more, no less. Whatever your present enviroment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.

In this issue of our Vestnik we are inserting a map of our state with our counties and districts indicated in different shadings.

This is for the purpose of enabling our members in the different districts to ascertain to which district their county and lodge belong. The Editor has been informed on numerous occasions that our members are still in doubt as to which District their counties are attached to. It would be advisable that this map be taken out of the Vestnik and pinned to the wall in your home for your future reference.

This map would indicate that, for instance; that Wise, Dallas, and McLennan Counties belong to District Three; Bell, and Williamson Counties to District

Skala 18

;Wharton County to District Six; Ft. 'Bend County to District Five; and Nue' ces, and Atascosa Counties to District No Seven.

It is our endeavor to have a well informed membership, as the interest is so much better when our membership know exactly to which District they belong and knew for sure which of the planned District Meetings they could attend. Of course, there is no harm done if a member of one District attends a meeting out of his District, in fact, it is encour: aging but we would like to have all of our District Meetings well attended for there is always some business at hand to be trans3cted that is of vital importance to each member in his district.

We thank you for following our suggestion and hope to hear from you at your opportune time. ) ° es • ( HEATING AND COOKING HAZARDS Is your entire home heating system professionally checked, and cleaned if necessary, every fall?

Sokol Se] WE HAVE LEARNED That the American Sokol Union Educational and Physical Culture Association is recognized and listed in Uncle Sam's book of charitable and educational organizations and contributions to them can be deducted from your Income Tax by your income tax computer.

It is necessary to give the full name of the organization in order that the education can be checked.

It is not too late to give to the Building Fund of the Dallas Sokol unit, remembering that they are contemplating the building of a, new Hall and Gymnasium and that they are doing a fine job for the youngsters in the Dallas area. ) • — IMMIGRATION and NATURALIZATION QUESTION: I came to the United States five years ago as an immigrant and now would like to become a citizen.

However, my English is very poor and I am afraid I could not pass the examination. I have heard that older people — I am 62 years old — do not have to know English in order to be naturalized. Is thiS true?

ANSWER: Only partly true. The naturalization law requires that a person in order to be naturalized, Must have an understanding of the English language, including an ability to read, write and speak ordinary words. The only exceptions are persons physically unable to meet this requirement and persons who were over 50 years of age on December 24, 1952, and who have been living in the United States for periods totaling at least 20 years. (Incidentally, an effort is being made in Congress to strike out the December 24, 1952 date, so that the exception will then apply to any person now and in the future who is over 50 years old and has been living here for periods totaling at least 20 years.) But since you have lived here only five years, the exception, unfortunately does not apply to you.

It is suggested, however that you study English, apply for naturalization and take the examination. Probably you will pass. The law states that an applicant must be able to read and write only simple words and phrases in ordinary usage. )• ( The old narrow roads where two cars could barely pass without colliding are being replaced by splendid highways on which six or eight cars can collide at one thee. s 4, • eTe

Sister Kleprlik gave a report on the progress of our Youth Club. It seems she has a lot of work with it but if there is anyone who can handle this task, she is the person.

The main topic of our last meeting I would say, was the proposed home for cur Lodge. Some of our members reported different buildings that are for sale but after we discussed the advantages and disadvantages of these, we decided against them. Each member though is urged to, look and report any building which he thinks the lodge might be interested in surveying. Our next meeting will be held on the 9th of March. We urge all our Sisters and Brothers to attend, since the subject to be discussed will be of interest to them.

Water constitutes about 56 per cent of an egg and a bird's body contains approximately 55 per cent, says Bob Griffin, extension poultry husbandman. It is pretty obvious that a shortage of water could have an adverse effect on egg production and broiler gains.

The water should be made convenient for the birds, advises Griffin. Have waterers level with the birds' backs and arrange so that they will not have to travel more than ten feet to the water supply.

And finally, he says, keep all waterers clean and free of litter. Check them several times a day if necessary.

Strain 21 ARE YOU PLAGUED BY "MOOCHING" FRIENDS? I would like to refer to a letter that I saw in one of our Texas papers (Czech) mailed in from Chicago, from some of our 'mooching' friends who like to share the comforts and joy of your home just "visiting" while vacationing. — They were upset, because someone mentioned such self-invited guests are "pests." These same people act perfectly normal at home in the city, but when they go visit-. ing, oh my, they think everything in the country is free. Just for them — they would kick up your rugs, sit on your table, throw their clothes around, ask for drinks, raid your ice box, and shout, "wake us up when breakfast is ready!"

One day when a "guest" asked why we didn't buy a better grade of Bourbon I decided this was the end of the line.

I told everyone not to come again until they were invited because I was fed up on running a free lodge. Of course, they were insulted and sehocked. But I've been a whole lot happier since that day.

When my husband and I want to go fishing we know the poles are not broken. If I wish to lie in the hammock, for a little nap I don't find it occupied. by some fat friend. When a lawn chair is broken, we know we did it, not some 5year-old demon. At last our home is ours — and we love it. —Mrs. D. P. and A. L. •( ) •

SISTERS AND BROTHERS: The accompaning report of new ininsurance, shows a total of $394,000.00 written this year. This gives us a good start for our quota which we set for $3,000,000 in 1958.

We will need your help to reach the three million and we ask you to help your organizer. I am sure you know of someone who needs insurance so why not get him or her acquainted with our insurance. Give your organizer his or her name.

Let's try to get the three million. In behalf of our organizers, I thank you.

Fraternally yours, EDWARD L. MAREK • st• • TEMPLE, TEXAS Dear Organizers: The month of February was rather a slow one so far as new applications are concerned, which of course may be due to the long spell of bad weather we had, but now with spring just around the corner, we should all brush the dust off our prospect lists; revive our enthusiasm, and go over our fields with a fine tooth comb and persuade the prospects to sign the applications, for if we don't someone else will.

We had two ladies and 12 men to attend the Fraternal Seminar Course at SMU, in Dallas last week. This course consists of Fraternal Insurance underwriting, all of those organizers seemed to have gained quite a. bit of knowledge about life insurance, and how to plan their work schedules in order to be in a better position to write more insurance.

I know our Order will benefit greatly by sending these people to this course and we hope to have another course either this fall or early next year again, so if any of you would be interested in attending this course, please notify me, by letter, to enable me to make plans for the next course.

To make our sales more interesting this year, we will give a nice trophy to the high organizer of each district, and a plaque to the high district. Of course, their will be other prizes given to organizers of high achievements. The amount of insurance required to qualify , for these prizes and the type of prizes will be determined in our next Meeting of the insurance committee,

"Did you get the prizes?" demanded Debby. "We've got to have prizes for the games."

"I bought boxes of colored chalk for prizes. Everything is on tha dining roam table Why don't you put your things away and go have a look."

Debby tossed her books on a chair, her coat and hat in the closet and

There were fancy little hats trimmed with feathers, and dainty baskets with paper flowers twisted around the handles. The favors were tiny fans made of plastic. Debby clapped her hands. "It looks like a rainbaw" she said. "Wait till I tell the girls."

"Did you make out the list of girls you want to invite to your party?" Mother asked, "It's in my lunch box," said Debby.

Mother took out the list, and they looked it over while Debby had milk and cookies at the kitchen table.

"My list isn't too long is it?" asked Debby.

"I bought 12 of each favor,",, said Mother. "I see you have 11 girls on your list, including yourself. Wouldn't you like to have an even dozen at your party?"

"I can't think of anyone else," , said Debby.

"How about that little girl who moved into the new house on the corner?"

"Karen Jones?" said Debby. "I don't want her at my party."

Mother looked up in surprise. "Thal; doesn't sound like you, Debby. She is a newcomer here. We should do all we can to help her get acquainted hi the neighborhood."

"I have tried to be friendly, but she . . doesn't talk much," said Debby.

"Barbie says she is stuck-up."

"That is strange," said Mother, "I net her mother at the grocery store: last.. week end she was very pleasant. Maybe,.

"Barbie says Karen doesn't like ourschool because it's smaller than the lone ." she used to go to. Barbie says —" Mother interrupted. "You know, Debby sometimes you let Barbie do your think ing for you. Why don't you find out fiat' yourself what the new girl is like?"

Debby looked a little bit ashamed.

"She is stuck up, she says `cawn't for can't and bawth for bath. Why does she talk so funny if she isn't stuck up?"

Mother started to laugh. "You are the funny one, Debby. Karen comes front New England. She i,snt putting on an act when she talks like that. It is her natural way of speaking. Probably sh6 thinks we sound pretty funny when we talk, too."

Mother started to iron and Debby picked up the list of names and stall ea to pleat it into a fan. For a few minutia neither one spoke. Finally Debby Said, "I'll bet she wouldn't want to come to my party."

"I'll ask her but she won't come," said Debby.

"Try and see," said Mother.

Fraternally yours, MRS FRANK PARMA Youth Director

Women's Nook Houston, Texas February 25, 1958 Dear Readers: These few lines will be in connection with the time I spent in Dallas at the S.M.U. University. When Brother Hejny our Vice President approached me, with the question, if I would take the course in insurance. I was thrilled over the idea of being given the opportunity to go to a regular Fraternal Seminar where I will be able to distinguish the needs of insurance, for different types of individuals. These few days of training, gave me confidence to give my best for the interest of my client. It also makes me feel I have done some good in selling protection to one person or the whole family.

Attending this course were 28 organizers, from 5 different Fraternal Organizations. Our SPJST had 12. Also present were our Supreme President Brother Marek and the Vice President Brother Hejny, all in all 14. I was glad Sister Bessie Janca also attended. We two shared our room. For that week, we both felt like school girls again (little old) but nevertheless school girls. Just couldn't help it, books under our ariris, walk to classes, to the mess hall and back to the dormitory. And all around us thousands of young girls and boys.

I must say, they were polite and friendly. We ate in the cafeteria, which has a wonderful eating area, in a modernistic setting. The food was very good and plentiful.

The classes started at 8, with a break at the end of each hour. Then from 1 to 2, at that time the class was dismissed and we hurried back to the dormitory to get our home work done. Mr. Ch. Gaines, director and Mr. Perry Miller associate are wonderful instructors. All during our stay, we addressed each other by our first names. This also applied to our instructors as Chuck and Perry.

The atmosphere was friendly. Any ten-

&tram 25

sion I felt at first, vanished as the first hour past.

Speaking of insurance, this subject can not be covered by a few hours or days of study. But I assure you quite a bit can be acquired, which means lots of help in selling this precous protection. The field of insurance s something that gives you a feeling of need to help people. It also s surprising the percentage of people who do not carry life protection. These days of modern living we 'insure everything imaginable. Naturaly we feel we have to, to protect what we own. But the only thing that is most valuable to us and our family, we neglect. The money making machine, the means of being able to provide all these things, to make living pleasant and comfortable, we neglect to do anything about. That money making machine, we do not insure, in some eases not at all or very little.

The most common phrase we organizers hear the most is "I have no money — I cannot afford it" might be true sometimes, but will anyone ask the question, if you are able to afford to leave everything behind, and just disapPear out of the picture of life? No, that part of your life is not rehearsed. It will come and happen to every one of us, it is only up to us to lighten the burden for the loved, ones we leave behind.

Our SPJST Order has such wonderful plans. They will apply to most of our needs. Contact our organizers if you feel like having just a little bit more protection. We will be glad to help you with your problems.

Wednesday evening Brother Arnold Vrla, appeared out of the blue sky (it was cloudy all week) at the dormitory with a jug full of pipping hot delicious coffe and fresh hot doughnuts. We all enjoyed this treat very much. Brother Kleperlik, a talented musisian, gave, us a tune on the piano and some of us chimed in with Czech songs.

Thursday evening we were royally, treated at Lodge Pokrok No. 84 with a banquet. The tables were beautifully decorated, and the food was out of this world. Thanks a million to the sisters that prepared all the goodies. Sisters: Pokladnik, Marek Jarrna,, Ondrusek, Peter and Steiner, it was so nice. Please forgive me if I omitted semeone. Gar appreciation also goes out to the brothers of lodge Pokrok No. 84.

Friday was our last day• in school, Classes were held till noon and then we were presented, with our well earned diplomas. After lunch a hurried good-bye to everyone and the cars speeded toward home in all directions. Speaking for myself. I must say, the one week

Wednesday, March 5, 1038 IDLE ACRES AT HOME AND COTTON PROFITS ABROAD Texans and other American cotton farmers face another in a series of hard knocks this year in the form of "homemade" competition — foreign competition brought about by short-sighted planning at the top level in Washington.

It is now apparent that, due to relentless insistence on holding down cotton allotments in our country, not enough top quality cotton will be produced to meet our own domestic needs this year. As a result, we will likely find ourselves in the ridiculous position of bringing cotton into this country from Mexico, Brazil and probably even such countries friendly to communism as Egypt.

Current cotton acreage allotments are based on an estimated production of 111/2 million bales. But -what some of our government planners have failed to recognize is the fact that much of this land went into the soil bank and will not produce any cotton.

Last year, our upland cotton was lower in grade than at any time in the past 12 years. Middling and -higher grade production was the smallest since 1949. And now our textile industries are facing a serious shortage of better quality cotton.

But this shortage could be overcome if our farmers were allowed to take advantage of promising soil and weather conditions so they could have the crop when it is needed.

We need an immediate 25 per cent increase in cotton allotments in order to meet our domestic demand. We can produce the desired grades this year if our farmers are given the opportunity.

The 1957 cotton story was a sad one in Texas and practically everywhere else in the nation. Ginning of top grades was off drastically, and our farmers had to fight continued bad weather to produce what they did.

A sad epitaph to the story would be for "sidelined" farmers at home to stand idly by while cherished cotton profits wing their way abroad. ) • -4 e The chief trouble about the human race is human beings. et's all strive wholeheartedly to gain our ":',Jal set for 1958` ® to sign up 83,of new Insurance.

Ve sttedu, dne 5. lakezne, 1958

Ueitel StehliZek (Pokradovani) Kroute poi/aLive' hlavou, vzal tatinka za ruku, odvedi ho ke dvetim a tie s nim hovoril. Tatinek na nine kkval a rekl bolestne: "Filipe, doskoe na dekanstvi a popros pana dekana, aby pri gel maminku zaopatrit. Pan doktor to uznal za dobre."

Polibiv maminku, letim na dekanstvi.

Ptam se po panu dekanovi. Je pry v zahrade. Jdu za nim. K nemu jsem mel velkou eltiveru a lasku ji2 od detstvi. I jako student jsem se snail prd zpovedi dostat se k jeho zpovednici. Kdy2 mi daval rozhreAeni a Zehnal mne pravici, pominal jsem si, ze je to taZ ruka ktera inne krtila a kterou jsme my deti, jak jsme pana dekana zhledly neseetnekrat polibili.

Pled panem dekanem jsem vznesl na sebe Zalobu, nijak jsem ji ze strachu neseslaboval.

Vyslchl mne se zajmem. ,0ekal jsem rozsudek.

Misto prisne domluvy, poloZil mi ruku na hiavu, nahnul ji trochu vzad a divaje se na mne svkma dobrotou zarieimi colma, rekl mekce: "Milk synu, v torn byla ruka BoZi. S naminkou nebude, da Pan Buh, tak zle.

Ptijdu k vam a podivam se na ni."

Jeho slova byla hojivkm balzamem na moji bolavou duk. Podkal jsem na pana dekana, a pak jsme Ali k nam.

U nas v sini eekal naS pan doktor a zve stoval nam, Ze se u2 maminka z bezvedo mi probrala, ale Ze je velmi slaba.

Vegli jsme do svetnice. Tatinek pana dekana privital, a on k mamince.

Vida, k mati je v polospanku, ji zlehka ruku na eel° a pees vlasy ji mekce pohladil.

Mati procitla. Setkav gi se s laskavkm pohledem pana dekana, nabyla Zivost. Po oblieeji se ji rozhostil blaIenk fismev.

Na pokyn pana dekana jsme se vzdalili do kuchyne a pan doktor odeAel. Asi za pul hodiny zavolal nes pan dekan zpet.

"Nebezpedi je zaZehnano," pravil, "bylo to jen nahle a sane rozeileni, ktere srdce ztlumilo. Dik veasnemu zakroku pa na doktora, netreba se nieeho obavati.

Vy, mladk studente, pristupte sem bli& k matte. Vage zbana matka zaslibila vas stavu knekkemu.

tay. V torn spatruji vuli Bo21. Pro vaInk knekkk sta y se necitite patrne dosti citove zalolen. Za to ovAem nenniZete.

Stay kne2skk vyZaduje celeho eloveka!

Knez rozdava lidera i tep srdce sveho SlouZiti Bohu znamena slot iti lidem.

Knez telem path svetu, du:Si svou vAak je mimo nej, nebot' ona je pro blaho yerdcdch na ceste k Bohu. Zivot kneze je vysilujici, pin sebezapreni a odrikani. Dobre mladk studente, ze jste uplatnil Iran svou drive, neZ byloby pozde. Nebot' kdybyste se stal knezem proti sve vuli, jenom na prani mateino, snadno by mohla ye yak dui vzklieiti nejen nespokojenost se stavem knekkkm, nkbrZ i trpkost vtidi vagi matte. Lasky k ni musi vas provazeti aZ do hrobu a nesmi bkti z Zadne strany doteena. Vage prestoupeni na ueitelskk Ustav neni chem, jako jim neni nespinenk sub vaAi zboZne matky. Jako neitel stanete se rovneZ diistojnkm einitelem, jeho fikolem bude bystriti rozum a Alechtiti srdce /Madek, ktera je budoucnost na geho naroda nad ni nic draZgiho nemame. VaAe pani matka to nahledla, se stavem veci se srnikila a ze srdce vain odpustila."

Po teehto slovech nad slzdm hojivkch ktera do dvou tukrankdh dui vratila rovnovahu a klid, chopil jsem se ruky pana dekana ,a neZ-li tomu mohl zabrani ti, z vdeenosti pritiskl jsem na ni polibek. Pak nakloniv se k matte, zahledel jsem se ji nesmele do tvare .

Usmala se na nine.

Prost nejistoty vroucne jsem ji polibil, a ona nine lehounce pohladila. Ruka se ji vAak najednou s me hlavV svezla a klesla bezvladne na perinu. Ulekli jsme se, nebot' mati soueasne zvolna privirala oei, jako by jeji Zivot prchal. V tato kriticke chvili uchopil pan dekan mateinu ruku, a divaje se na, hodinky, sledoval jeji tep. Bohudik, tato trapna nejistota netrvala dlouho. Posilou a utechou oblaZena jeji duAe zvitezila nad ochablosti srdce.

Ze smrtelne mrakoty se probudiv gi poznavd, Ze' jeji ruka spoeiva v ruce pana dekana. Pod timto dojmem se jeji tvar °pet zjasnuje. Zadivala se velekupine na sveho zaehrance a hladi jej i nds blaknkm Usinevem.

Za tkden jsme Ali s maminkou do kostela. Na ceste koupila mati voskovou svici, kterou jsme v kostele nabodli na hrot podstavce a rozZehli.

S plapolern svice nesla se ke klenbe chramove modlitba na usmireni Matky BoZi. _Studentska laska Hdy'Z' se mati uklidnila a du:Ai incu nic byl jsem jako znovuzrozen.

Matinee zcela jiste v dull troAek hoPkosti zustal, ale mou zproneveru mi nikdy nevytitala.

Strana 27 Na uditelskem Ustave — to byly radost ne studie. Zadna latina, Zadna reetina.

Prvni roenik nebyl nic jineho, neZ opakovani znameho nava. Proto jsem v gechen volnk eas venoval hudbe, zejmena houslim.

Olda zustal mkm ueitelem i nadale. Je ho zasluhou jsem si houslieky Ailene zamiloval. Cvieil mne podle gkoly Beriotovy, jeho povaZoval jsem za nejlepAiho pedagoga hry houslove.

Jsa obdaren dobrkm hudebnim sluchem i neUrnornou vytrvalosti, deal jsem rychle pokroky.

Olda mel rortomilou sestrieku Veraku. Tak jako on prospival ye lake na housle, ona zas na piano.

KdyZ jsem byl ye tietim a ye dtvrtern roeniku, hravali jsme spoleene kaklou sobotu. Olda prvni; ja druhe housle, otec Vain Cello, Vera piano.

Ja jsem mel ph tom dvoji paitek.

Predne hudebni a pak velmi prijemnk styk s rortomilou Verugkou.

V myth oeich byla Verka hotovk andel.

Byl jsem presvedeen, Ze by se Pan 13iih v eelem nebi tak krasnkm andelem nebo archandelem ani snad nemohl poehlubit.

Kciy2 se na nine usmala, a kdkZ se' dye radky belounkkeh zdravkch zoubku okra nidenkch koralovkmi svelimi rtiky, vynorily, muj Bole, to byl okouzlujici obrazek dived krasy a nehy. To devee mi udelalo!

KaZdeho dne, nail jsem ulehl, laskou k Veruke zanicen, braval jsem do ruky housle a hraval jsem ji na poeest, dve Schubertovy skladby; serenadu a proslule "Ave Maria."

Prvni skladbu jseni povaZoval za, ho rouci vyznani lasky, druha byla vroucne modiitbou za Atesti toile rortomileho ditete, jeho obrazek byl hrejivou napini meho srdce.

Velmi rad byl bych vedel, nejsem-li Verug ee lhostejnk. 2e se na sobotu vidy bylo mi znamo. Temef vkly mne oknem vkhlikla a zahlednuv gi me, mavala mi vstric radostne gateekem. Vehni easto pribehla mi do sine v Ustrety, chopila se myth housli a radostne me uvadela k nim do bytu.

Jednou v sobotu odjel otec 'Verin na komisi a Oldu vzal s sebou.

Kcly2 mi veruAka pribehla naproti, zde lila me, ze si tentokr'at zahrajemc sami.

"Hled'te, pripravila jsem Schuberta," zaAveholila u klaviru, "jste srozumen "Sleeno, velmi At'astne jste- volila."

"Pane Stehlieku, ani byste netu gil, jak main Schuberta rada! Jeho skladby jS011 okouzluj ici !"

"Mate pravdu, zejmena jeho jasava serenada a "Ave Maria" jsou prave hudebni perly. Obe skladby hraji z parnoti."

Strana 28 "Ani netuSite, jak jste rune poteS'il!

Terri dvema skladbami loneim se se dnern a vzporninam."

"Sleeno, jako bychom se smluvili. Nel2u, reknu-li yarn, 2e prave tak "To jsem rada! Pane Stehlieku, proinnate me zvedavosti, zda-li pak si pii torn take neco nemyslite?"

"Lituji, sleeno, ae yam odpoved' musim zdstati dluZen." "Pane Stehlieku, bud'te uptimnY a od povezte mi!"

Ke132 jsem wahal, uchopila mne za ramena a Zadonila znovu. Zahledel jsem se ji do oei a rekl jsem pak nesmele: "Sleeno VeruSko, hraji-li serenadu, -zda se me, 2e y am vyznavam lasku."

"A kdy2 "Ave Maria?"

"To se modlim za vase Stesti."

Pa tondo doznani klesla. mi VernAka na prsa a pritulila se ke rune ne2nou hla vickou.

Objal jsem ji zlehka, pritiskl a na via sky polibil.

Po chvilce se na nine zadivala a zaSeptala: "Tote2 se deje v du‘Si. me. Myslivam na vas."

Krasna jeji hlavinka klesla me opet na prsa. Jeji nanosti dojat, odhrnul jsem ji s eela kueerave viasky a polibil jsem ji.

Z opojeni lasky se vzpamatova ySe, bra h jsme Schubertovo zastavenieko.

To nehraly prsty, to jasala naAe srdce.

Moje housle, jako by si byly vedomy, co a komu povidaji, rozplYvaly se v dolce cantabile, a tak mocne jasaly, ak se raze zvueely v mohutne forte, aby po nem jete sladce a intimne zaSveholily a po predposlednim taktu, kde je ze gest osmin pet poslednich dule2itYm akcentem oznaeeno, zajasaly mohutnYm ucelenym ton em struny G. Odlo2iv housle, chopil jsem se jemnych ruCek Verw.jein.Ych a. pokryl jsem je polibky.

Pak jsme hrali, "Ave Maria".

Po dvoutaktovem dvodu v klaviru rozezpivala se na houslich struna. G. Pak odevzdala tute2 melodii zbo2nosti prosycenou strun g A. Kdy2 taji mekeeji o oktavu vyse vyzpivala, rozezvueely se me housle v oktavach, naee2 zajasala kra.sna melodic y e fortissimu v und'Aejicich dvojhrnatech, jsou v kla,virnim doprovodu podlo2ena rozlo2enYmi akordy, je2 pa jemnych a hbitYch uderech VeruSeinYch prstikt Sume,ly jako earovna, hu dba nebes.

Byla to skuteend modlitba, kterou jsrne se modlili jeden za druheho, modlitba po svecend vroucnYmi polibky a slibem nasi lasky.

"Pane Stehlieku," za§eptala pa chvili VernAka, "kdybych snad meta zemtiti,

VESTNilt — WEST, TEXAS slibte mi, ze mi toto Ave zahrajete u rakve."

"VeruSko, pro Boha, jak maikete myslet na smrt, kdy2 zaeinate tepr y Zit?" "Myslim na ni, proto2e mi to cikanka prorokovala. Hled'te, rekla mi, 2e tato eara na me dlani je Cara metro Zivota.

Skoda pry, ze je tak kratinka. Budu pry ale dlouheho veku se nedo"VernSko, vy tomu verite?"

"Verim," rekla bolestne.

Hluboce dojat privinul jsem ji soucitno k sobe a vida, ze slzi, polibky jsem ji osuSoval lice.

"VeruSko, domnivate-li se, 2e to proroctvi, kteremu prec nelze vejiti, je pra vdive, pak budu prositi osud, aby misto vas zkosil mne."

"Pane Stehlieku, yak °bet' by byla bezifeelna, nebot' stain bych tu opet sama, bez vas, rozumite, bez vas, tonouc v mori slz. Miluji vas vice, ne2 se domnivate. Je-li mi souzeno predeasne pak bych si paella zernriti aspori ye vaSem naxuei."

Po tomto bolestnem projevu padla mi VeruAka temer bezvladne do naruei. Majic hlavinku ponekud vzad odchYlenou divala se na nine prosebne a oddane.

Vida, 2e se jeji krasne oei opetne v slzach koupaji, pritiskl jsem na jeji koralove rtieky dlouhY, konejS'ivY polibek.

Tu se otevrely najednou dvere. To cite la vejiti do pokoje Verugeina matinka.

Spatrivgi nas, couvla rychle zpet a dye re za sebou tichounce ptivtela.

Ale i kdyby byla vztoupila devnitr, snad bychom se byli od sebe Tepry kdy2 jsme se vzpamatovali, byl jsem schopen vaiti se do te2ke situace.

Co jen ti to pani rekne? Snad jsi hral s Verou dnes naposled! stesti mne v§ak i tentokrat pralo.

Kdy2 jsem pin dskosti pri odchodu paroueel, a boje se pohledu milostive pani sklonen ruku ji libal, jeji druha ruka nine po hlave pies vlasy pohladila. Ja dodal si odvahy a pohledel jsem mile pa ni v Misto prisneho karaveho pohledu usmala se na mne rortomile a pravila va2ne: "Pane Stehlieku, donmivam se, 2e naSe Vera je v rukou eestneho studenta."

"Milostiva pani, nedomnivejte se jen, ale bud'te o torn pevne presvedeena. VeruSka provazi utkvela mySlenka, ae musi podle proroctvi cikaneinaa predeasne zem Cit. OM se ji zalily slzarni a ja jsem ji v hluboke soustrasti objal."

"Pane Stehlieku, pros nemluvite pravdu," opravila mou omiuvu Vera, "vldyt' ja sama jsem yam paella do naruei."

"Ano, a ja jsem pak VeruSku soucitne polibil."

Ve stfedu, dne 5. btezria 1958 zlate deti, snad se ye vaAich srd cich nerodi laska?" Je-li tomu tak, keg je nand, vrouci a eista. Polibeni je znesvetiti nemtile. Pane Stehlieku, v naSi rodine mame vas vSichni rack a zvykli jsme si na vas jako na vlastniho. Ted' ndm budete je gte bliZAI a milejAi." Nevecla jak se za tolik Stesti odmeniti, uchopil jsem ruku milostive pani a znovu jsem ji active polibil.

Radosti pina Vera zavesila se matce kolem krku a libajic ji valnive, zvolala: "Matinko, ja mam pana Stehlieka nevYslovne rada!"

"Po Tali Boll, mile dite, jen ma-li to take pan Stehlieek rad!"

Podnes nevim, kde jsem nabral tenkrat tolik odvahy, le jsem mohl nejen prohlasit, ze VeruSku vroucne miluji, ale ze jsem ji mohl, kdyl na mne uptela jasa,va noka, na srdce ptivinout a bez bazno polibit.

Milostiva pani nad na gi laskou slzela, Pak pravila karave: "Vero, a ted' uz jednou nas ptestan desit cikaneinou veStbou!"

Tentokrate mne Vera doprovoclila al k domovnlm dvetim, kde jsem se po prve leueil s pravem milencn.

Sotva jsme se rozeMi, vybehla stkelhbite po schodech do bytu a objevivS1 se u okna, tak dlouho posilala za mnou vzduAne polibky, dokud jsem nezdSel do druhe ulice.

Mnj Bole, nikdo by neveiil, jak jsem byl tenkrat k'a.sten!

Kdyl jsem prisel domu, maminka jako obyeejne matetsky se na nine zadivala a pravila pak s dsmevern: "Filipe, tebe nee° potelilo!"

"Ano, maminko, a jak jsi to poznala?"

"Muj Bole, jak bych to na tobe nepoznala, Odyt' to mss napsano na tvati.
