N ADEJE napsal V. M. SKALSKY (PokraCovani) "Take spravime," keld Nov' oteviraje dvete.

Jimi veSla panimanaa Nova a Josef.

"Takr jen pojd'te, ja \Wel, Ze vas budu pottebovati. Nu& pane Kohne, kolik to dela ?"

Kohn byl ji2 celST bez sebe.

"Co tho znaraena? Co tho znamena?" vola,l. "Vy jste se spikli."

"Nespikli, ale chceme udelati potadek.

Jai jini, vCak je budete brzo videti."

"Nikoho nechci videti, nikoho."

"Musite, v2dyt' jste pro ne poslal."

"PoSiu je domfi, poku je "AZ vain zaplatim."

Kdy2 Kcian vynda,1 zapisy, panimama je pfehledla a hned vytkla: "Tohle stalo tolik, tohle tolik, tady ma to napsano moc."

Kdy2 Josef spatiil svoje dluhy, nedovedl se ovladnouti a zvolal: "Zlodeji, zlocleji, vZclyt' ja tady nemain 2adriST dluh, ja vie zaplatil schoti."

"Tho neni pravda," branil se Kohn.

"Thady jest tho psano —" "Co jest ml do toho," zlobil se Jo sef.

Ale NovY byl ji2 rozmrzen: "Jestli pane Kohn hned nedate mi sraenku a jestli nadobro nevymaZete dluh meho sync a me man2elky, dam vas zatknouti, vy ptechovavadi zlodeju — vy pkijimaei kradenYch veal. A to vam udelame vAichni. Vy jste naueil nag mlado2 krasti Boma obili a jine a y arn to prodavati. Mimi) toho naueil jste je piti kotalku .Chcete sem dati smenku a ptijmouti jen co mate dostati? Nebo ne —?"

Kohn se potil. Tohle se mu jeSte nestalo. Kdo raohl jen pujciti penize tem lidera? Jak se to dovim, znieim jej.

A nerad, velice nerad sedl, aby napsal potvrzeni, Ze dluhy NovYch jsou vyrovnany.

A kdyZ spodital pekne, eiste bankovky, povzdychl.

"PCnbuvi, Pan'nuvi, 2e jsem zkracen — phane NovSn" "My bYvali zkraceni kolikrate a museli jSITIC mleeti."

Sotva vy g el NovS.T, veael Klouda. Proces se opakoval k hrftze Kohnove.

"Vite, pane Kohn, kdybyste se chtel vy stehovat z Kreina, udelal byste nejlepe, protok nedostanete nil.:dy statek Klinifty."

"Vy bhudete phoroudet," u gklibl se

Kohn. "Ja mamu2 Klimi -- a bhudu mit i Koulu."

"MYlite se," tekl rozhodne Klouda. — "0 to jest jia postarano a jestli vas chyt neme kupovati budete videt jak to chutna v chladku. A ty firoky nesmite poditati, nebo bude zie."

"Vy mi budete phoroueeti —" zui'il Kohn, "jen as psidete --" Raifaisen "Nebudu vas pottebovati ka pievezme vSechny dlithy."

Kohn se udefil do hlavy.

"Thedy. Rah:aisenka. — Aby ji blesk zaphabl. Chudeho Kohna ptipravi o malt' vYclelek. Oni phoeitaji 6 procent, ja jen 1 procento."

"Ano, ano, ale mai mane, vy pak mesiehe," posmegn6 dodal Klouda.

Ten den byl pru Kohna baudnYni — nezUstal mu nea jen malt' poeet lidi, kteti se domnivali, 2e kdy2 jsou dlu ani Kohnovi, nikdo se o jejich dluzich nedozvi.

"Musim aspon chytit toho dolejSlho NovYho. Thal: a.spon clostanu tisic korun a neco si ptipiSu —" rozhodl Kohn, chystaje se na navStevu u NovYch, kteti sluli, na rozdil od druhStch Novj'rch, "dolejSi", proto2e bydleli na, dolejSim konci vesnice. Nekteti pro zkraceni jim u Dolnich, na rozdil zase od DolejSich, kteti meli statek ye vsi.

Zlobilo jej to, ale vyhlidka na vY.clelek jej krotila Start' NovSz seal naproti Terine, uplakand matka stala opodal.

"Co phak, co phak se stalo?" tekl Kohn misto pozdravu.

"Nic," odsekla Terina.

"Piece neco, kdy2 takhova heska polka plade —" ulisne zaeal Kohn dale.

"Nic, do nieeho yam nic neni," odsekla zase Terina. "Ostatne, co tady chcete?

Snad mi nejdete u2 nabizeti penize?"

"A kdybych, co2 by tho bylo neco zleho?" ulisne zase Kohn.

"Nechte si svoje Spinave penize a neberte diteti otce," zoufala zvolala, Terina.

"Cog ja nechci se postarati o dite?" — Kohn zaeal opravdove. "Ja, chci, aby tho dite se nielo doble. Vithe, Therinko, ja yes main rid a proto chci, aby bylo o dite postarano. Vhite, Tlierinko, ja, vas mam rad a proto kdy2 se toho opilce Jakuba zbavite, odpustiin thatinko vi eel* dluh, a jest ho pekna tadka, vyma2u i ten 2tipeeek phanimannnky, a jeate yam dam pro Me ce1y jeden tisic korun.

"ViS Terinko, nechci to nutit," zaeal Nov, j "ale jestlituhle pan Kohn to mysli do opravdy, budeS miti lepe, kdy2 se toho Jakuba ztekneS, nic bys s nim nernela tak jako tak."

"To povidate protole se zbavite dluhu na chalupe?" trpce iekla Terina.

"Terinko, v2dyt' via, 2e budc chalupa Tedy bude to take pro tebc a pro to robatko lope — inaleS mill stieclau nad hlavou."

Terinko "Jak dovedete pane sem, Terinko, tam, robatko -" trpce zase Ua,,,Terina "Ani pied ehNilkou jste mi nerelsl T'erinko, ani robatk.u. Vito jak jste tomu ubohemu drobeekovi, kterST jest ne vinen kikal?"

"Tho nic, tho nic", vlo2i1 se do toho Kohn. "Phan otec doble rozumi vSeinu, moud2e mluvi, moucl2e, to muslin Met." "Mile dite," ptistoupila matka k Te"Tata ma pravclu. A potom, co bys s takevYrn opilcem naela — v2clyt' uvidit, 2e kaZdou, kterou si vezme, udela neSt'astnou — ten propije nos mead oeima, uvidiS a bucleS jednou nida, 2e jsi se takoveho dareby zbavila" "Maminko, tak mi neralu yte," ozvala se Torino.. "Mam Jakuba ra,da a on by si dal kid!"

"Dite, nedal, nedal, ten ji2 jest jako vysmolenS7 sud"', pokraeovala matka.

"ViS co deal o muzice —" "Kcly2 jej dra2dili," hajila jej Terina.

"NedraZdili dite, necird2dili," otec najednou promluvil. "Jest to zlY elovek a ja v2dy trnul sa-xacheni, co se z tebou stane. Svol dite, svol, a budet St'astna — my budeme s tebou o robatko peenvati a dostanet jednou hodneho, lepSiho mu2e net Jakno."

"Thaky si myslim, thahy si myslim", dodal Kohn.

Terina zapasila sama sebou a se svou laskou. Zrakem hledala pomoc u Spasitele na ktili — zablondila zrakem k obrazu Bolforodieky — 2e bylo ptitomnYin a2 nevolno, kdy2 videli ten za,pas, pti nem2 milujici dike trhala vSechny svazky.

Koneene vyskoeila: "Ano, svoluji, ale penize napted na VSichni byli ptekvapeni — ale Kohn se brzo vzpamatoval a soh' do kapsy naprsni a vyndal smenky NovYho, vyndal tisic korun a napsal potvrzeni, 2e veSkeren dluh jest vyrovnan.

FROM THE EDITOR'S G

emarks

Masaryk was noted for his great simplicity of expression — Karel Capek in his "Conversations with 1Vlasaryk" has this to say:

Every lodge is expected to send to our next Convention to San Antonio, the most capable, and the most consci_ entious delegates from their lodges, for it is expected of them in their deliberations- at this Convention to adopt methenS of operation for the future, which ;:.11..lould exceed the successes acid growth (n , en these last four outstanding .

Our Supreme Lodge in its Meeting will Probably suggest some advantageous; changes in our By-Laws and it is lvisable to wait to ascertain just what changes our executive body presents.

• •

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE "I pledge Allegiaiwe to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

us thoroughly weigh, all suggUis for changes before presenting ;horn to the By-Law Committee for With the growth of our Order there ent; always keep in mind the a increase of agenda and work in our od of our Brotherhood.

Supreme Lodge. Our district directors are empowered by the- Convention to Oar neers founded for us a beau- see that this work be divided as necesti fin Order, but because of the progress sary in the Supreme Lodge, It is a big time, some changes were necessary responsibility for the body of Directors U me to time; however, that does. and oar me .s bership should be ever _,t deter any of its original glory. That mindful of this fact. To ,date, our Order why we have our Conventions so that has been fortunate in the selection of Laws can be up-dated: to the its Directordhip, which has proved prosthem times; and in this way perous for our Order.

Order marches on with the spirit of o

"Humanity — that is indeed our national program, the, prograrr, of Dobrovsky, Havlicek, and of Comenius in his day, of our kings George and Charle ■s, and of St. Wenceslas. Humanity does net exclude or weaken the love for one's nation. I can I must love my nation positively, but I need not hate other nations because of that. True love is not proved by hatred, but only by love. Man kin t is the sum of the nations, not something outside of or above them.

Humanity, love not only for one's neighhors, but for mankind -- how am I to imagine mankind concretely? I : g ee a poor child whom I can help — that child is is mankind to me. The community whose troubles I share, the nation to which I am related through speech and culture, are !mankind. Mankind is simply a, greater or smaller sum of people for whom one can do something positive, in deedsl, not only in words. HuI manity does not consist in day-dreaming about the whole of raankihd. but in always acting humanely. If I ask that politics serve rita,nizind, I do not infer that it aLlght not to be national, but that it be just and decent, that's all."

"Neither as individuals nor as nations Our Convention is held once every four years and our fratefnal Order will are we here merely, to fulfill selfish It is easy to see that our membership be only as progressive as tie- degree of 9i-ms. A naton which wishes to live , on(.',)es not live, on the same scale of our cautious delibratlon of its delegates. ly for itself would be as pitiable as a :C3ithi'S over 50 years ago, livman who wished to live only for h cnai7 together in communities. Over half Regardless of our perSonal feelings, it self.

With these new packaged food's,, the old "pinch of this and a dasta of that cooks" will have to learn all over again.

When I think of the pieparation that went into a pancake dough, whereas nowadays you add a dab of shortening to a shaker of pancake mix with milk and g ive it a vigorous shake and it is ready to pour out on your grill — what a :lhorteut! When bh p, infra-red ovens become the mode, where roasts can be cooked in say 20 ,:r.inutes, we surely will have to learn all over again. That is progress and cooking is no exception.

Since so much of the take home pay of t.- re brea--Iwirmett goes for food it stands to reason that shortcuts to better and quicker meals would be number one on ti.le list of inventions.

The flu is still raging. In some places it is almost an epidemic — schools were closed because of it — there is much pneumonia developing from colds and itue — so, do be careful. Do not try to doctor the flu, call your doctor. He can save you much suffering and money in tle N end.

For those of you who already bave it, a a; Wa m, get well, and do try to make your District meetings which will be corning soon. It will be nice seeing you again.

Several members were reported on the sick list. Brother Jaenes Pechal has undergone two operations within 22 days of each other and has had 27 blood transfussions during his stay in the hospital. He is doing much better now and is hoping to go home any day now.

Others on the list were. Brothers Frank Novosad, Sr., who had his back hurt; Brother Will Simek who is under doctor's care but has the use of an oxygen tank at his home when the need arises; Sister Albina Sefcik and Elsie Cabla were also patients in a local hospital; and my grandmother is still in the nursing home in Temple. All of these named, and others who may be ill, are wished a quick return to normal health.

Our sons both had the measles. The older one was over his, when it finally caught up with the younger one. After they felt a little better, it took some talking and explaining why they must stay in bed and not go outdoors to play.

The question of "how many more days before I can go outside" is being asked so often, it is getting monotous.

Now back to the lodge meeting. The selee'-'on of the musicians for our picnic, July .3,rd, was made. The Vrazel Polka Fend of Cameron was chosen to play our annual event. More details in Suture reports.

Reports From Local Lodges

Wednesday, March 23, 1960 FROM THE CONVENTION COMMITTEE San Antonio, Texas Brothers and Sisters: Toward the end of last year, the Convention Committee of Lodge San Antonio No. 133 sent letters to all the SPJST Lodges in regard to the presently prepared Convention Souvenir booklet. But, when we began to t the already participating lUdges, in our I, tter to the Vastnik, many inquiries have been received concerning the. booklet.

From this we conclude that some of the letters could have been lost in the Christmas rush and therefore some of the lodges are unaware of any such booklet being prepared. Please be informed that any lodge deSiring to be a well-wisher or to advertise in this booklet can still write for information to the address given below. The suspense date is the 20th of April.

A New Study La _7_ Patterns

Wednesday, March 23, 1960 menstral upsets and other disorders which wo not affect men. But they also take time off for certain conditions winch affect both sexes and which are less often a cause for being absent among men. Among these conditions are colds, grippe, sore throat, muscular pains, minor cuts and bruises, headaches, inflammation of the stomach ana intestines, and "minor disturbances of mood, thought and behavior."

Such findings are not easily evaluated. But one aspect worth exploring further. Take absenteeism because of minor cuts and bruises.

Most of the women studied were telephone operators who sit down most of the day and certainly do not suffer from injuries as frequently as the men, most of whom were out-of-doors workers installing and repairing telephone equipment. The New York doctors' comment "One suspects that if a girl slammed a door on her finger, she was more likely to stop in and let the doctor have a look at it."

All this may have a great deal to do with social attitudes toward women in the United States and many other countries. One conclusion of the report says: "Women as well as men are rewarded by approval if they carry on without complaint and without seeking special favor. But a woman encounters less dis approval if she takes to her bed when she feels ill, and goes to her doctor for treatment and reassurance when she is worried about her health."

Do men live shorter lives than women, because they are brought up to behave more stoleally and endure symptoms they consider minor without seeing doctors? The. New York research team believes that this cultural factor characteristic of men in certain societies may indeed be, one reason for the fact that they are not as long-lived as women. But that is only a hunch. Further studies are needed to obtain a deeper understanding of the effect of this attitude, and other social determined attitudes, on health.

One highly significant development in present day medicine is an increasing awareness of the role of social and cultural factors in sickness. Inherited bodily defeats, the invasion of germs and viruses, inadequate diet — these are among the well-known basic causes of disease. But our customs and the ways we are brought up are also important.

In; the past this factor has not been appreciated fully. We still have an enormous amount to learn about the subtle relationships between human traditions and human health. Such relationships are tinder investigation in many countries, wherever there is an active and broadening public-health system.

In this country, for example, the National Institute of Mental Health of the United States Public Health Service is supporting a study of certain fundamental differences in the health patterns of men and women. The study is underway at the New York HospitalCornell Medical Center where four doctors have investigated a fascinating paradox.

Some evidence indicates that, in one sense, women are "less healthy" than men. They visit doctors more frequently, )• are sick more often, and are absent from work more days. Yet in another sense women are certainly the stronger sex. In the United. States, for example, the average newborn girl infant may expect to live more than 73 years -- while DISTRICT the average boy baby has a life expecMrs, Rud. C.

Ve sti'edu,.dne 23. bfezna.1960 THE IFOIREMN LANGUAC, PRESS ;.112 A IN On May G, 1732, an enterprising publisher issued from - his Phila4elphia printing stop the first foreign 'language newspaper in America. This was the GerMan 'fortnightly "Die Philadelphis_ Zeitung. Its publisher — one of America's great nioneering publishers was Benjamin Frani•din.

During the next two and a quarter unturies se'vEral thousand publications in more than 50 languages appeared in in this our country. Most of them eventually dropped out, merged with othei.% publications, or changed their language'. to English. By 1059, some 775 foreign languagT, publications were still active,' ivitri a domestic circulation of close to five million and probably twice as many readers.

For the 30 million immigrants who have come here from non-English speaking countries, the foreign language press has been much snore than a link to their cultural heritage and events in the old homeland. The press in the newcomers' mother tongue provided current news about America, explained to them a new and often puzzling- way of life, and both voiced and shaped their opinions.

The influence exerted by the foreign language presS on general AmeriCan affairs, while it cannot be evaluated fully, has been far from negligible. The German and Scandinavian newspapers a century ago made their opinion felt in su pporting the abolitionist movement and in combatting organized anti-immigration sentiment. Italian, Welsh, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, and Polish publications rallied strongly to the Union cause during the Civil War, and encouraged many newcomers to join the Union Army. And it was a Russian paper in San Francisco that helped to overcolDe many of the initial mistakes and abuses of the Government's - administration of Alaska. ft) In another area of American life — industrial relations — the impact of the foreign language press was sharply felt.

During the crucial years before and after the turn of the 20th century, the American labor press was relatively limited, so that much of the brunt of the labor struggle was borne not only by the forei g n language labor press but by the foreign language press in general. German, Scandinavian, Italian, Russian, Yiddish and other non-English publications helped to educate and organize the manpower which brought about significant changes in the nation's economy — of ten referred to as the "bloodless labor revolution."

VEST NI K — WEST, TEXAS These newspapers waged a vigoror•s campaign for the eight-hour day, recognition of trade unions, woikers' compensation, unemployment insurance and social security. Many readers as well as editors had been veterans of struggles for the same goals in their countries of origin, as for example, the German "Forty_Eighters" and the Russian Jews and other refugees from Tsarist oppres_ sion.

Peasants from Central, Eastern and Southern Europe and their spokesyen, the editors of the foreign language press, confronted With semi-feudal conditions in mines, foundries,-steel mills and railroads, fought against them as they had fought their feudal landlords — by protests, strikes and demonstrations. Backed by, the labor union movement and strengthened by new labor legislation, they pitted themselves against the coal and iron police in Pennsylvania, the Pinkerton strikebreakers in Colorado, Indiana and Minnesota, the speed-up abuses of the conveyor system in Detriot, exploitation in Chicago, sweatshops in New York.

Besides its important role in the American labor movement, the nonEnglish press has exhibited a consistent interest in the foreign policy of the United States. It has contributed to the breakdown of American isolationism. Thus, to cite just a single instance, during World War I it helped in formulating the policy of self-determination of nations, as finally expressed in Freq... dent Wilson's Fourteen Points.

A good part of the story of the foreign language press' role in assimilating and Americanizing the innDigrant can be traced in the' newspaper files of the German language daily "New Yorker..

Zeitung and Herold," the oldest of the nation's non-English newspapers. First issued on Christmas Eve, 1834, the paper celebrated its 125th anniversary recently by publishing a 176-page special edition. ( ) 4 People often seek excuses for their failures instead of trying to do something about them.
