Nova kniha o slovanskem filosofu

Znaanou pozornost budi nova kniha "SkuteenY Tolstoj" The Real Tolstoy, dojmy a oceneni, napsane Dr. Ed. Miekern, profesorem slovanskYch jazykt na Texaske statni universite v Austinu. — Kniha vydana byla znamYm ,GeskYm Literarnim Sdrutenim, jet yyd'alo eitanky Jaro, Leto, Podzim a Zima. V tvodu spisovatel napsal: Tolstoj pravi: "Prava, laska je tivot sam. Pouze elovek, jen miluje, je tiv." — Spisovatel knihy je ea,sto zvan "student Tolsteho po celY tivot". Roku 1909 jako student Sel do Rus ka, aby se setkal s ToistYm, protote se zajimal o jeho tivot a dilo. Pozdeji napsal mekolik elanku a Predna gel o Telstem v raznYch jazycich. Roku. 1960 bude vzpominano 50. vyrodi fimrti Tolsteho a kniha ma bYti upozornenim na dtletitost a vliv Tolsteho.

Kniha ma 12 kapitol: 1. 2ivot Tolsteho, 2 Vojna i mir. 3. 2ivotopisne pozadi Anny Kareniny, 4. Tolstoj jako dramatist, 5. Tolsteho nabotenske nazory, 6. Osobni vztah Turgeneva a Tolsteha, 7. Tolstoj a Bunin, 8. Tolstoj, 6echov Gorkij, 9. Tolstoj, Fet, Strachov a Gaj, 10. Dr. MakovickY, Tolsteho 'aka:- a pritel, 11. Tolstoj a Masaryk, 12. Posledni dny Tolsteho.

Spojene Staty Americke jsou lederani unii osmaetyriceti state, o jejich homogennim razu svedei fakt, ze Ameridano mluvi o sve vlasti v jednotnem kdyt instinktivne fikaji "United States" spiSe netli "are".

Jake na klad uvadime rateni mines, uzav•rani, smiuv se zahranienimi viadami, nebo uvalovd,ni dovoznich a vYvoznich poplatkt bez souhlasu kongresu.

Spisovatel nazYva Tolsteho nejen svedomim Ruska, nYbrt civilisovaneho sveta jeho doby, to je 19. stoleti.

0 shledani s TolstYm 1Vlieek pi ge: Mao ho let po napsdni jeho Vojny a miru setkal jsem se s ToistYm, obklopenYm jeho oddanYmi stoupenci, teSicim se obdivu civilisovaneho svetla, ale isolovanYm, bez Miru, nYbrt ve Valce s jeho tenon a cash jeho deti.

Kdy2 naSemu chla pci bylo jen 3nedele, stale plakal, jakoby bolestne nakikal, protole nernohl moeit a ani lek mu nepomahal. Tu k nom pkiSla moje maminka a jak slySela co chlapci je, kekla: "SeFen si petr2e1, uvak mu z nej eaj a dej mu do lahve asi na 3 nice vypit." Hned jsem udelala podle mamineiny rady. Chlapec usnul a za 2 hodiny se probudil a byl mokrk, Ze na nem nitka nebyla sucha a bylo po plaZi.

Ale ja se bala, neb byla na pkisne diete, ale kdy'zi za 3 nedele pkiSla, domt, lined jsem ji zanesla petr2e1 a ona kekla: "To isem rada, zp main petrZel, vis, ja se ted' lepSi zas najim."

Jablonova panna

sum

— WA 7.717,AS pary koni a jet co mohl pro svou nevestu.

Zatim ho nectiame jet a podivame se co ta mild panna na brehu dela. Kdyl tak panna v plaSti zaobalend tam na bi'ehu sedela a na nej eekala, tu najed nou za ni se objevi oakliva babice, strhne s ni pozadu plait' a nel se panna nodala, streila ji, hup do teky a hned se take voda nad ni zavtela a nebylo po panne ani pamatky. Tu ta baba sve had ry eerstve se sebe svlikla a zahodila do teky, pak se ptikryla tim pla gtem a posadila ma bteh, jak citiv ta panna sedela.

A kdyl kral zase ptijel, ule.•1 se velice kdyl misto sve krasne panny takovou ' erednou babici uhlidal. Ale ze vedel, ta panna neni ladne obyeejne stvoteni a take le se zaptisahl, ze si ji vezrne za &nu, vysadil babu piece na vaz a myslil si: "Jiste, ze mne chce jen zkouS'et a aZ bucle po svatbe potom se zas v krasnou promeni."

A kdyl jell z kostela, podival se kral sve nove pani do oei, ale ona byla jegte tak stara a ogkliva, jako dtiv. Tu se ten kral z toho velice zarmoutil, ale neptestal doufat: "Jiste ze mne chce jen zkou'Aet a al" jen mine ta prvni noc, snad pak bude tim krasnejgi."

A kdyl jil druIhy den rano poealo svitat, poclival se kral sve nove pani do oei, ale ona byla jefte ekaredejk yeera. Tu se kral rozhneval a jiz chtel dat ji ze zamku vyhnat, ale pak se rozmyslil a pravil sam k sobs: "Snad me chce jen zkouget."

Sel do sveho pokojiku a nechtel ladneho videt. Tu pkiletela na okno bila ho lubioka a nic se krale nebala, sedala mu na ruku, vrkala a lichotila mu. — Kral mel take z ni radost, hiadil ji a libal: "Co pak jsi mlYptinesla, ma mild holuble ko?" ptal se. Ona odpovedela: "Vrkou, vrkou! nemal tu pravou. Tvo je wave v mokte len bile viny po ni Vrkou! vrkou".

Tu kral z toho byl jests smutnejli. — DruhY. den se zase zavtel do sveho pokoje a holubieka ptiletela znovu, a opakova la to, co yeera. Babe bylo podeztele, co vezi v nev§imavosti kralove. Ptiloudila se ke dvetrin a koukala se klienvou dirkou. Rozezlela se a porueila myslivci, aby holubieku zabil, Ale na misteckde holubieka padla, vyrostl tenouekS7 jablorio vy prcutek.

Tak byl jeden mladY kral a ten rad jezdival na lov do lesa. Jedenkrat, kdy-2 od rana do poledne po lese honil, dostal velikou /izen. ,ale nebylo nikde potoku, ani zadne studanky videti, aby se napil. A kdyl uz dlouho celY zarmoucenY po torn lese chodil a nevedel jak lizeri uhasiti, ptiSel tu nenadale k jedne jablo i;i a na ni vide' tti zrald 'Jana jablka.

Byla dopolou eervena jako brundt a odpolou lluta jako vosk, al se na ne hledeti Ihned mu p •iSlo na mysl, le by si je rnohl utrhnouti, jirni se ovlaliti a krali se jil slimy v astech sbiha ly .

Hned tedy to jedno jablko utrhl, vytdhl z kapsy nuz a poeal je krajeti. Ale ja,k je v pith ptekrojil, tu najednou z toile jablka vyskoeila panna, az byl kral celY .jako omamenY, nebot' byla od hla vy do paty tak krasna,ze jakliv takove neviclel. A , jak vyskoeila, volala: "Vody! vody!" Ale nel se kral z toho ornament probral, byla jil zase ta tarn, jako kdyl se blaburika z mydlin rozpukne, take kral ani svYrn ()elm vent nemohl a celou tu pilhodu za -nejake mameni smyslri pokladal. Ale sahl piece po torn druhem jablku, vzal nuz, ptekrojil je take. A tu zase z neho vyskoeila panna a ta byla jests mnohem krasnefSi nezli ta prvni, al byl kral podivenim eel*. omamenY. A ta zase take vyktikla: "Vody, vody!" A ze tu ladne nebylo, zmizela mlikem jako ta prvni. Tu bylo krali toho srdeene Tito, ale hned si pomyslil: zajiste, le to tie ti jablko take jine nebude! A hned si je take utrhl a schoval, al by nekde k yodel ptiAel. A potom koneene piisel k jedne tece, velmi prudke a hluboke. Tu se postavil na bteh, vytahl to tteti jablko, roz krojil a hued take z neho vyskoeila panna,; ale ta byla jests krasnejli nez ty obe prvni .A kdyl zvolala: "Vody! vody!" tu se honem kral shSTbnul do teky nabral vody rukou a pokropil ji a tu se panna jig neztratila. Proto2e nemela pan na ladneho roucha, tuze se styclela a prosila krale, aby ji prijeil svfij se jim piikryje. A kdyl ten Kral tu pannu uhlidal, tu se mu tepr y naram ne zalibila a zdalo se mu, le bez ni ani liv bYt nemrile. A proto hned tekl: "Kdyl mi ptislibiA, ze si mne vezmegi, tedy ti prileim plait'."

Kdyl tedy ta mild panna videla, ze jinde neni, ptipovedela mu le si ho vezV kralovske zahrade byl zahradnik, kte me. Tu on ji hned ten plait' se sebe dal ry mel jednu deem, ktera byla milovnia tekl ji: ci kvetin. Kandy veeer zalevala a kdyl pti "Poekej zde, az se pro tebe navratim, Na na jabloriovY kvitek ,politovala jej, ze ul z neho letos nebude ovoce, protovlak ja to nenecham dlouho eekati."

Potom skooil ihned na kone a cupity le se chSdilo k podzimu. Devoe utrh:o cupity, k svemu zamku uhanel. A kdy2 kvet a zasadilo do kvetino,ee za okno.

DruIV den rano, kdyl se vratila ze zatam phijel, dal hned zaphahnouti

Tu videla, jak z jablo noveho kvetu se stala krasna divka, hned se data do price, v'Sechno poklidila a v torn take zahradnice skodila dovnit •. Pan na se ulekla a volala: "Vody! vody!" A j ak (levee dr2elo konvici v ruce, polilo ji od hlavy, al k pate.

FROM

Remember Memorial Day Thousonds of people criss-crossed back and fourth through Washington's Union Station that morning back in 1944. The high-ceilinged central waiting room was alive with a tense excitement that was reflected on the faces and in the quick footsteps of the wartime commuters coming to the capital. There was a sense of urgency in the air. For weeks, months, one word had been in people's minds. It hung in the air almost touchable, just out of reach—Invasion.

I stood there on this morning of June 6, 1944, waiting for a friend and scanning the faces of the commuters as they poured out of their trains and into the station. There was no announcement on the loudspeaker, no extras were Shouted, there was no visible source of the news: but suddenly the scurrying and the criss crossing stopped, the loud hum of a news passed from friend to friend, from stranger to stranger: What was it? What has happened?

The Invasion's begun—they're landing in Normandy.

Ahush fell over the waiting room. I was aware of little things — the soft tread of the few people still walking, the stream of sunlight that fell into the waiting room as it does in a cathedral.

While I stood watching, it began.

First it was a woman who, right there in the station , dropped to her knees and folded her hands; near her, 0, man knelt down. Then another and another, until all around me people knelt in prayer before the hard wooden benches of Union Station.

What were -le praying for that morning of the Invasion? For Jim or for Pranz, or for Giovanni — or just for peace. Perhaps for no reason at all, ex-

THE EDITOR'S DESK

cept that in the hush we felt the need to pray.

The quiet lasted for no longer than a few minutes. Then, slowly, the woman rose to her feet. The man next to her rose, too, clearing his throat and walking off rapidly, as if he felt a sudden embarrassment. Within seconds the station was alive with movement and talk again. But for those of us who witnessed the hush, Union Station will always have a special meaning: we were there on the day the railroad station in Washington D.C. became a house of worship.

Fraternalism, Let's Try It! Is there a possibility that in this land of ours, where Fraternalism has flourished for over 100 years and meant so much to thousands, so much in building up good human relations, we may cease to be active, neglect our Lodges, and meeting with our brethren in person?

What about attendance at meetings?

Is there anyone who can tell me that meetings are attended as they were 25 or 30 years ago? I know that all kinds of reasons can be advanced as to why meetings are not being attended, but the inescapable fact is that they are not.

Consequently, we hear some folks exclaim, "Fraternalism is dying out." What nonsense! Fraternalism will never die!

It will go on living but its usefulness can be very considerably reduced and limited by indifferent people who have taken upon themselves the name of Fraternalists.

I should like to see a great "Back to the Lodge Meetings Movement" amongst our Fraternal Order.

I think you will agree with me when I say that never in the worlds history was Fraternalism more necessary. Let

us take a few moments to look at the world of today — it would be difficult to say anything new or original about it.

Our news papers are always full of matters pertaining to the sorry plight in which this poor, old battered though God-given world finds itself. Public speakers and commentators have spoken n-Allions of words about it. The fact of the matter is that we have laid down our arms and the noise of battle has ceased only to be replaced by another kind of war — The Battle of Ideologies.

Mind you, it is far better to talk and argue about ideologies than it is to fight about them, but my friends, a battle of ideologies can become a very serious thing. Ideologies always breed fanatics and history reveals that fanatics generally start wars. The strange thing about starting wars is that nothing is ever accomplished by wars. Conditions are always worse following wars than they were before.

I wonder whether we can look forward to the day — I pray we can — when the nations of the world will see the blank folly of making war; when men will find a way of solving international dis: putes other than that of killing each 'other.

Can we look forward to the day when common sense and common honesty will bring us at last to see that our fellowman is better when regarded as a brother than as a possible assassin or thief?

We all believe that Brotherhood should be fostered among men. We are all children of one Father, and it is only fitting that we should reverently acknowledge the universal family tie.

In conclusion, let me urge that we do all in our power to make this thing that we call Fraternalism. thrive and prosper in this fair land of ours. Think of what, it has meant to us.

We do not say that the wonderful spirit of friendship that exists among us

Wednesday, May 28, 1958 in our SPJST is the result of the obligation that we have taken upon entering our. Fraternity but I do say that this has played a very important part in it.

For these reasons, and because the world needs us, we must make our Fraternity a going concern and see to it that it grows and prospers.

Let us not throw the word Fratenity carelessy around, it may not mean much to you, much in itself, but it is capable of adding a great deal of value to all our activities of our daily life. — Let's Try It! )

Fraternal Week Proclamation

H. M. Lundgren, President National Fraternal Congress of America Whereas, it is customary to set aside one week each year for all av'embers of the National Fraternal Congress of Amei ica to concentrate upon bringing to public notice the ideals and principles of fraternalism: and Whereas, National Flag Day, June 14, is an occasion of much meaning and importance to all fraternalists; NOW, THEREFORE, as President of the National Fraternal Congress of America, I, H .M. Lundgren, do hereby designate the week of June 8-14 as FRATERNAL WEEK. All members of the National Fraternal Congress of America, and fraternalists everywhere, are urged to present and encourage during FRATERNAL WEEK suitable programs explaining the ways in which the Fraternal System works toward making each community, each state, and our nation a better place in which to live; and also to make known to the public the ways in which the Fraternal Benefit System contribute to fostering and perpetuating the principles which have made and do make this nation great.

It is further urged that all fraternal organizations make special efforts to encourage the proper observation of National Flag Day, June 14, 1958, both bg their ineinbers and by all persons everywhere.

The Perfect Will An important feature of an insurance estate in that it constitutes a will and a will cannot be broken.

It is impossible for anyone in any way to divert the life insurance estate from the hands of the heirs to whom it has been left.

Did You Ever Notice Up until very recently, we talked a plenty about our Youth but never did very much of anything about it, that is, giving them some attention, etc., but it is not always the editor's fault if some worthwhile information is withheld that would be helpful and would be so encouraging to others to give us these different news items for publication. Our neglect, is only hurting us as we fail to recognize our young friends, that may on the morrow be in some influential position, they are working for it.

Some of our "youngsters" are not perfect, but are we? If they sometimes get off the track it is up to us "oldsters" to help them. By that I mean, let's be real friendly, toward them, let's watch them as they progress, soon we will learn which of them are really concerned about their future. Let's direct them, recognize theirs so that they will face their problems intelligently and so that they may gain something from our experience.

Let's all remember once more, that they may dominate tomorrow's adult society.

Strana 15 —to hear both sides. All of us have our full share of both.

Sometimes it's pretty hard to tell which is which. We cling stubbornly to inherited or self-evolved, opinions believing that we believe they are right.

But few of us dare to make the acid test—the test that will tell us in a hurry whether what we are sounding off about so loudly is a conviction or simply a prejudice: how does the opinion we have jibe with the Golden Rule? (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you). Any strong feeling that does not look good when held up to this mirror deserves a second, careful look. )• 4•(

A, New Book Of Our Brother

Austin, Texas, May 22 — "The Real Tolstoy," a new book on the great 19th Century Russian novelist, presents the "impressions and evaluation" of a lifelong student of Tolstoy, Dr. Eduard Micek, University of Texas professor of Slavonic Languages.

As a college student in 1909, Dr. Meek went to Russia from his native Czechoslovakia to meet Tolstoy and learn more about his life and work. Later he wrote several articles and gave lectures about Tolstoy.

The new book anticipates the 1960 commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Tolstoy's death. Dr. Micek's book is a timely study of the writer's importance and influence.

I've eaten it baked, chicken fried, but the tastiest recipe I believe I've ever eaten was in one of the finest cafeterias in Dallas, and I have been successful in getting the recipe. This vegetable turns brown when peeled of its thick skin, so it is always placed for soaking in salt water until ready for use. It is eaten with its tiny seeds which cook soft.

For the Guinea Squash Pot Pie — peel and cut in half one medium sized egg plant and ben in salted water until tender. Drain and mash Soak three slices of toasted bread in a little sweet milk until soft. Mix with the mashed egg plant. Beat two eggs slightly and add to above mixture.

Blend in a mixture of one chopped onion, three tablespoons of melted butter, one teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Pour into buttered cassrole. Pour two tablespoons of cream over top and bake in oven 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes until a golden brown, and watch your family scrape out the plate! It is delicious and filling and economical.

For frying: slice crosswise into threefourths inch steaks and soak in the salted water until you are ready for frying. Pat dry on a cloth, dip in the flour, — beaten egg — bread or cracker crumb combination and fry until a golden brown and soft when pierced with a fork. This fried egg plant is an excellent substitute for a meat dish and the family will be satisfied. I know you will like it.

May I also point out to you mothers and grandmothers reading this that the Vestnik has a letter writing contest on for the youngsters from 9-15 years, now.

"Why I Like My Dad." It is an excellent opportunity for your children or grandchildren to try for prizes. Children, you know, can often open our eyes with their sincerity and frankness. They look at our world with totally different eyes. Remind the youngsters in your home to enter this contest. The issue of May 21st, of the Vestnik has all the simple rules of the contest in it. With sehool out and long days, it will give them something challenging to do, help them use some of the things they learned in school, such as spelling, pennmanship and letter writing methods taught them, All letters and pictures, if available, of winners will be published in the Vestnik. We all love these children in our fraternity.

Before closing, may we, the Editor and and I, add our condolence to the family of Brother Jerry Zazvorka of Ennis over the loss of this fine and active worker in our Czech circles. I have known this

wonderful family for many, many years, 'way back in my youth when with the Dallas Sokol Unit we all spent the night at the Zazvorka's. There must have been 20 of us, for we were bedded down in every available space in their home. It was summer and we were all having a "whale of a time." There was a Sokol competition with its exhibition and awarding of competiton prizes in Ennis and as visiting, participants, we loved Ennis and its people and always had a great time. Dear Mrs. Zazvoika and her husband and two fine children were most wonderful to the whole gang of us! While it is'not for us to question "Why" it does sadden one's heart very much to see the family broken up by death, May time lessen your heart and in your hearts be thankfulness that you had him as long as you did to enjoy him among you. He was a fine Czech man.

To those of you who have May birthdays in our fraternal faibily, you picked a beautiful month to be born in, a month of blooms and sunshine and joyous living. May you have many, many happy returns of this wonderful month in the year, in good health and cheer.

SPJST Rest Home REST HOME REPORT Taylor, Texas Dear Sisters and Brothers: Just a few lines from our Rest Home to let you know that we are still among the living.

What we need is more of our members taking advantage of the openings we have in our SPJST Rest Home so that it would be a real Home for our fraternal "oldsters." Those of you who cannot make up your minds, may we suggest you come down for a visit and trial period — to see for yourself how you would react to living with us. We are sure that once you did this, you would be pleased as are many others who are guests here for we are truly trying to make this a real Home for our residents. We have all modern accommodations.

In my last week's letter to you, I neglected to mention that we are in need of a piano for the programs that different clubs and churches are offering to give for our guests. Some of the performing children cannot sing without an piano accompaniment, nor can they dance without it. If any of our goodhearted friends have a well preserved piano that could be donated to our Home it would be most appreciated by all of us.

Please let us know for which we thank you in advance.

Below we acknowledge the following gifts: Mr. Chas. Wychopen, of Houston Texas — -- — — — $10.00 Mrs. Anna Shilk, of SPJST Rest 5.00 Home Mrs, Charles Bartos, Penelope, — 2.00 Texas — — — Our sincere "Thank You" to the above donors.

Again we sincerely thank you and assure you that shortly we will give our accounting on how the money was spent. At the present time I am busy with a large landscape job at the James Connally Air Force Base and when this work is completed I hope to have a little more time to make out this report.

Short Cut There is one outstanding requirement to make our way easier on the "long, straight road." That is service to others..

For it is certain that in helping others we help ourselves two- fold: There is the appreciation of the "other fellow" and the inner feeling of satisfaction at having clone a good deed.

This service to others need not necessarily be of material worth. A cheerful greeting, with a friendly smile, is sometimes the greatest tonic in the world to the man or woman who needs the comfort and encouragement of a. friend.

These little, kindly services to our fellow travelers make the long road short and help to soften some of the rugged spots, Let's give them — freely.

Don't drive yourself or hired help to exhaustion for a costly accident could result, Don't let down your safety guard. ° ) VIEWPOINT A little girl from a city was spending her first summer in the country, and was asked how she liked running about barefoot. "At first I could hardly walk" she said, "but the rocks got softer every day."

Adults who work at hard tasks find much the same thing true.

JOE BARTA Member of SPJST ) • 4 • ( INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR HEALTH Suppose your youngster swallows a substance you know is poisonous, The label is missing and you don't know the antidote. All you know is the name of the product.

Grim supposing? Yes, but it happens every day to adults as well as children.

How would you react? You should call your doctor at once, but what would he do? He must know exactly how much of what is in the poison before he acts. And time is all-important, If your community had a poison control center, the problem would be much simplified. By checking a master index the centencould give your doctor a quick run-down on ingredients in the substance, If necessary the child could be ritshed to the center for emergency treat merit with special equipment.

Unfortunately there was only one complete local center in Texas, operating in Austin's Brackenridge Hospital, until Galveston, Houston, and Fort Worth established poison information centers more recently. ' This clearly is a dangerous situation.

The State Department of Health, through its Division of Occupational Health, for over a year has been seriously intent on encouraging formation of poison control centers wherever there is local 'willingness.

The Department will furnish free an index informatiOn file, together with periodic supplements. Additionally, the Department offers counsel in organizing a center, and will make the resources of its extensive toxicological library available. The Division itself serves as a poi-

Strana 27 son information center on an aroundthe-clock basis.

A complete local poison control center does three things: 1. It keeps information instantly available on compositions of poiSenous materials, together with antidotes. It keeps up to date with a reference library on toxicology, and maintains a master index of poisons.

2. It maintains all emergency drugs, oxygen equipment, catheters, tubes, syringes, needles,-etc., for immediate lifesaving use in treating poisoning cases. A treatment center is usually located in a local hospital emergency room.

3, It conducts continuous public education on the hazards of literally thousands of poisonous agents available on today's market. Educational activities might be handled by persons other than the information or treatment staff.

For maximum usefulness, information and treatment phases must be operated 24 hours a day, supervised by a competent physician.

Your town deserves the advantages of having a poison control center. .1„, Fraternalism is a big factOr in American life, and the fellowship, the ennobling- ideals taught, the patriotism that distinguishes the lodges provide something., that no other institution can give.

Notwithstanding all the influences which distract the North American to•ay, lodge meetings are still held and there is much enthusiasm for them.

The Fraternal benefit society with itslodges as forums, their representative form of government which makes the members owners of the organization, as well as the responsibility of being mutual insurers, has the ideal form t of family protection.

Let us rii;dx every effort to invite our friends and neighbors into our society, and make our society so attractive they will be happy to join our fold, a step which they will never regret, There are i-Dalay new and so-called up to date programs which can be inaugurated into the lodge s rStem in any given community.
