Ve stfedu, dne 14. bkezna 1962

Uspechy Americke Viady Lick Plodivost Amerleanit smekuje k prakticke strance. Tato plodivost projevuje se na poli ustavnim a politickem a prttmysloyem. Spojene staty ptispely 1:10inerne jen mato k politick: teorii, za to vSak hodne k uplatnovani -Leto teorie v praksi. KdyZ Tomas Jefferson pkedloZil k iivaze kadu dillelitYch zasad v Prohlakni neodvislosti, nevymY gel si nova zasady, nYbrZ opakoval nektere z tech, ktere byly znamy jiZ z davnych dob. Ve dvou tisicich letech nenaglo se lidi, kteki by byli dakazali nalezti zpOsob, jak pkivesti tyto zasady k platposti v pevnem kadu spoleeenskem.

VelikYm vYkonem americkeho naroda jegte nikdy neptekonanYin jinS7m narodem bylo podle slov presidents Johna Adamse "uskuteeflo yani teorii nejmoudkejSich pisatelti", to jest uplathovani .doktrin„lichZ si do to doby cenili ticky za yedenem do zalelitosti lidskYch. ticky zavedenem do zalelitosti lidskYche Pov'Sinmete si prvniho hdaje v ProhlaSeni nezayislosti, Ze totiZ vS'ichni lide jsou obdaIeni nezcizitelnYmi pravy. Prava jsou eloveku vrozena, nejsou ziskana od vlady. A prOva„ ktera jsou vrozena, jsou rozsahla a zahrnuji vie — Zivqt, svobodu, Stesti. Funkci vlady je zajistiti tato prava. ajistiti je zakladni slovo; znamend claraniti, ale znamend tet dosahnouti.

Zadiname tudiZ s lidmi, kteti jsou obdafeny privy a jejich prava nemohou jim bYti °Mato; lide vytvOfeji vladu, jejimZ heelem je chraniti a zdokonalovati tato prava. My to pkijimarne jako samortejmost, ale v dejinach to znarnenala npinY pfevrat. Praktieti statnici zaeinali po prve s lidmi nikoli s vladou — a ueinili vladu sluZebnikern dloveka, nikoli eloveka sluZebnikern vlady. Po prve se stab nejen v teorii, i v normdlni praksi jasnYm, Z • e elotrek byl panem, Ze vlada existovala pro eloveka a Ze einnost vlady spadinula na vuli jejich obeanil.

Praye proto byly vlady "zavedeny" mezi lidmi. A zde opet stojime nikoli pied theorii, ale pied praksi. Ze lide tvoki vladu, to se t yrdilo east° jiZ v minulosti; ye skuteenosti se yZak k tomu nikdy nedospelo. Teprve Americana vynalezli prostf:ednietviin Tide skutedne vladu tvoti nebo ji rozpougteji; vynalezli ziizeni, ktere uplatnilo ditlelitou zasad y, Ze vlada vychazi zdola a ziskava svou mot z pkivoleni tech, jimZ vladne. Timto zfizenirn le oykrn tstavodarne shromaZdeni.

eech.h f slovane radi zavidi Se zajmem Ceti jsem nedavno v Hlasatell tento elanek a proto te se hod' i na nage pomery zde tak jej doslovne uvadim. — Radi zavidime.

Tato opravdu ne gt'astna slaba stranka innahkch lidi nagi narodnosti je vgeobecne znama a nejhorgi na ni je, to mnohdy zavidi to, co neni zavideni hodne.

Pamatujeme, jak kratce po ptijezdu do teto zeme pied; 41 lety tedy hodne davno, kdyt se roznesla zprava, to ptijel mladik ze stare vlasti, kterk absoloval statni gkolu, ptichazeli z tad "starousedlikti" davali otcovske rady: "Heled', na to zapomeri, te jsi mel lepti akaly netli my. Tady v Americe to neplati, musig zaeit od piky".

Brzy jsme se ptesvedeili, te sice men pravdu a tou pikou, ale rozhodne ne se vzdelanim, jet pti glo velmi vhod, jak v praci, tak v celkovem tivote.

Proste to byla snad i nevedoma vost ei zavist. A bylo to potvrzeno stokrate o te doby, zylaSte po zapojeni do eeskeho vetejneho tivota. Po nastoupeni mista ueitele na Ceske tkole s kralovskkm platem dvou a pal dolarit za sobotu a stejneho obnosu za nedeli se 64 detmi v aide, ptigel otec a pted detrni povida "Ne, abys si myslel, te ten titul ueitele pro mne neco znamena. Nezapomeri, te te platime a dobte.

Stejne projevy kritiky byly, kdyt ptistehavalec byl pmenovan keliserem ochotnickeho divadla. "Co prk si takovyi holobradek mysli?"

Ale kdyZ mu jej stralce jeho Herman pH.nesl, nemohl se odhodlati vezniti onoho cirobneho tvora, jenZ toliko na svobode mohl bYti At'asten.

2aka byl dnes v podivne nalade, jindy pri ROZoneine navdteve sladil veselefdi struny size vYmluvnosti.

RTZenka stavala se ji Z netrpelivou a proto beze vdeho nvodu zamezila dalS1 j ehol hovor otazkou: "Me se, otce Ziko, nedba4, start Cloy& polepditi?" ika byl touto otazkou nanejvfd prekvapen. Pohledl pees sve okulary, ktere zas byl na nose uvelebil, do drobne, rtiZove tvarinky, jakoby neveril, e vyAla z techto malYch, eervenYch Prekvapil ho valnY pohled hlubokYch, eernYch oCi, ktere dosvedeovaly, e ho sluch nemamil.

"Prof to chce RTZenka vedeti?"

Divka povedela KoSt'altiv pripad a sverila ikovi, 'Ze chce tatinka velice prositi, aby se toho mule k van jeho hadne Zene ujal, e Koat'alka lká,Ze by v jinem okoli na svou neblahou vd,deri zaponinel.

RilZeneina oeka zazatila.

Z daleka postrehla, Ze do zahrady vbehla sluZka Vika a natrhavdi zelene petrZelky, rychle se vracela. To asi matinka chtela, aby petrZelku donesla Rtidenka.

V tom ji zahledla.

"RuZenko, matinka vas volala, mate jit damn!"

Divka se pri otazce te zardela, uvedomivdi Si, jak zpupne matince peed chvili vypovedela posludnost.

Pani Helena vlogila nyni divce na talii jeji milovane trubiely a ptipojila jeate g lehanou smetanu. Na mise zbyla jen Cast ureena pro Viku.

Reports from our Lodges, or any other Reading Material to be published should reach the Editor, Saturday before the date of issue.

of Praise When a baby takes its first step, falls, gets up and tries again, you praise him.

Bowed with encouragement he tries to outdo himself the next time; to do even better.

When a child first learns to ride a bike, to get the , knack of balance on the bike, and falls, you praise him for e his "stick-to-it-iveness" for to chide him would be to disallusion and foresake trying to master the riding of a bike.

And so it is , brothers and, sisters, with adult members, for we are just grown boys and girls with much the same emotions as our yonhg.

When your Editor praises a group for their efforts to put on a Meeting, a celebration, etc., even though he might have seen some place for improvement in the handling of the occasion; still to find fault with -their best efforts, would be to tear down ego, that which, has been so pricelo.s.sly gained, the good-will, united effort, the brotherly feeling that went with it, self discipline to follow the leaders and their plans. Why would anyone do that when recognition for these efforts, good will and , brotherly love will lift their spirits to even greater interest, efforts and deeds in the future.

It has been proven, again and again, in lodg es as well as in individuals, that wi-iere recognition for concerted effort 'was given, that that lodge, individual or officer began to take a greater interest; visit other lodges and began to see and to learn hetter methods of doing things which were brought back to the respective lod g e and which brought that particular lodge on a higher level of activity.

If a person will just study himself and the effect it has when he is praised by someone for something which he has done (always the best of his present ability) that person tried to do even better next time to warrant such praise and his lodge received the benefit of that effort.

So, where good-will and honest effort fall shOrt of perfection, praise your brothe • or sister for what he has done and he will do even better next time without

I hope many of our lodges in District Five will choose a Princess and Duchess arid Escorts for their representatives to compete at the Queen's Ball. The date and place will be designated later.

All the rules concerning the insurance sales contest were mailed to all lodges, and youth leaders, and were published in the Vestnik. Please take this into consideration and let's try to make this a tremendous success.

If our SPJST is to continue its noble Fraternal work in the future, we must continue to have qualified and able lodge officers, organizers and youth leaders.

Our Fraternal organizers depend upon you, dear Brothers and Sisters, to continue Fraternalism in our midst by the conscientious performance of your prescribed duties.

So, let us show our appreciation to our Order, by giving our Society one of the best birthday presents possible, NEW MEMBERS, and as fine a tribute as possible in the months of March, April, and May. In closing, I would like to congratulate lall the newly elected lodge officers in District 5. May all of you have successful administrations while conscientiously performing your duties.

Not all lodge workers are young couples. Here Vestnik most proudly presents the Joe Milans of Fort Worth Lodge No. 154. Sister Anna Milan is one of the top women organizers in our state. She has earned many "firsts" in her long career of selling SPJST insurance. Since she doesn't drive a car, her chauffeur, brother Joe drives her about "prospecting."

They've been active workers in the Fort Worth area for more years than one can count fingers on one's hands; now they have an agressive team of children, and grandchildren in the SPJST-Sokol Units of which they are duly proud.
