PODPORA UDSKOST DRATRSTVI 9. KVETNA (MAY) 1962

HLAS AMERIKY V minulYch dnech slavili jsrne v Americe dvacate vYroei tr y 'ani. vysilani Hlasu Ameriky do celeho; sveta.

Z projevu keditele americke informacni jest mono vycitit hrdost nad tim, eeho bylo vysilanim docileno za techto dvacet let, ale take zklumani nad tim; co nebylo moo dokazat.'

Byli bychom vgichni nevdeeni, kdybycham neptipojill na gi gratulaci bratrstva SPJST k tomuto vVroei, ktere znamend pevnost a nazirani americke zahranieni politiky tak easto ohrogovanou neurvalYmi iitoky ruznYch skupin celeho sveta aktere phdali nejednu kapku hoikosti do pohard keditelti Hlasu z Ameriky.

Nag president Kennedy nedavno pronesl na vinach Hlasu Ameriky pozoruhodnY proslov, kterY charakterizuje zprisob vysilani, pravil: — "Soueasti vageho poslani je, — aby Va ge informace o Americe byly pravdive. Jestli ze je u nas v Americe nee° prohnileho, musite i o torn mluvit. Ja, doufam, ge lido kteki yarn naslouchaji, si uv'e•omi, co se pokougime Mat. My vime, ze jsou lids, kteii jsou kritieti k Hlasu Ameriky. Uvedomuji si vgak, ze zde mate moanost informovat celY svet pfesvedeivYm zpilsobem a ja, a mnozi ye svete doufame, ae v tom budete pokraeovat.

Za uplynulYch dvacet let jste pravdu a budete v torn jiste pokradovat v pfigtich dvaceti letech."

Ve valeenYch letech bSrvala v mistech evropskYch na pfijimaei ptipevnend, maktera pkiporninala kagdemu les poslucha.ei, ze na poslech nepkatelskeho rozhlasu je trest smrti.

Po valce varovne cedulky odstranenY, ale nebylo v mnohYch zemi jisto, co je vlastne dovoleno poslouchat a co zaka„zano.

Tu se posluchaei zahranieniho rozhlasu uchylili ke stare praxi, poslouchat jen potichu.

A to delaji v mnollYch eastech sodalistickeho sveta dodnes. poslouchaji rozhlas — ale potichu.

Proto je tak drile gite pro svobodnY svet, aby poslouchali to, co je dfflegite, — co je spravne — co nam vgem pomaha. Pravda nam pomaha. Propagandy maji v tech eastich sveta dost a idost, i jsou 'Loma' nuceni aby se sueastnili vedernich propagadnich nag ek a schtzich.

Oasto pi'ec jen zaslechnem, ge Prost* etenal novin v techto zotroeenYch zemich ma daleko jemnej gi ucho k rozli govani pravdy od propagandy, ne g nejbystkej gi redaktor na gich domacich novin.

Prato prave je nutno hlecleti k tomu, aby "Hlas Ameriky" do porabenYch zemi byl pravdivy.

Pokud bude vysilan Hlas Ameriky do celeho sveta a v rtznYch f•eeich, neni rozhodnuto o osudech pri gti Evropy a proto pfejme a pokud nam mo gno podparujme Hlas Ameriky aby mohl naddle mluvit o tom co nutno opravit na

za-

pads jako by do sveta mluvil o tom co shnileho je na VYchode.

My sami si musime chvaliti nage zapadni vymogenosti, jak to spoleerre dobrovalne spolupracujeme, jak si hospodatskY dues stojime. — Na ge bratrska SPJST jest pfikladem na geho poctiveho snageni jig po 65 let, fizena a udrgovana na demokratickYch zasadech zalogena lidem kteki, cokoliv tehdy i dnes vlastni si vydobyli poctivou praci.

Nage zalmanieni vysilani informuje celY svet o torn jak zde gijern a pracujeme a deufame, ze celY svet uzna a pozna, ze jsme svobody milovni Tide a ae si jen pIejeme, aby v celYm svete zavladl mir, svoboda a blahobyt.

Jarka Jelinek, jak soudil jednomyslne spravedlivi hodnotitele jeho zdej gi dinnosti se nejvice za.slouZil o technickou yyspelost ,americkeho sokolstva a zajiste i o sokolskou zasactovest.

Rodak z Lazni Podebrad, jez jsou klenotem Snell° oeskeho Polabi, rostl Jarka Jelinek pod stalm vlivem sokolsk:eho ducha, kterk uhnet1 jeho charakter a v jeha povaze vypestoval primost, vernost a neochvejnk smysl pro spravedinost a pevne setrvavani v zasadach. Zaroven vbak vynikl Jarka Jelinek v telocviene sokolske technice, do nib vkladal neobyCejnY svtij prirozenk vkus. S timto sokolskkm bohastvim vypravil se pted prvni valkou do Ruska, aby rozmnoZil. rady Ceskkch sokolskkch ueitelt telocviku na ruskkch akolach. Vlastenectvi nebylo mu prazdnou lehkou frazi a Jelinek si take jenom nepohraval s mluvenim 0 "nejvetbi obeti": kdyb vlast byla napadenla a hrozilo nebezpeei, Jarka Jelinek byl tam, kde mu kazala stat narodni a sokolska, pcvinnost. Tak sal po prvni svetove valce se sokolskYin dobrovolniky Wilt se .zbrani v ruce Slovensko.

ramatee Bedricha Smetany Na den 12. kvetna pripada, vYroai stvoritele moderni Ceske hudby,genial niho umelce Bedricha Smetany. Smetana jest prvnim oeskYm umelcein vtibec. jeho umeni jest ryze Ceske a pri tom vyhovuje nejprisnei gim poladavktim umeleckYm. Narodil se 2. brezna roku 1824 v Litomygli a jid v Utlem mladi prooukla v nem vloha hudebni, takde gestiletY jid koncertoval y e svem rodnem meste. Jeho celY divot je retezem utrpeni, -mutny osud v gech oeskYch unaelcti stihl i jeho. Musel do ciziny — do Goeteborku ye SvecIsku. "Jest to smutne, ze jsem nucen vzdalen od sve vlasti, tak vroucne miluji a kde bych tak red Zil, vyliledavati svoje Zivobyti v cizine." A piece vYhodne misto opustil a vratil se do sve "krasne, iodine, milovane vlasti."

Brzou nasledovala komicka zpevohra "Prodana nevesta", jeZ razem postavila Smetanu mezi svetove skladatele. Pred valkou hrala se po celem svete a v roku 1909 skvele zvithila v New Yorku, jak jednoswmne hlasaly vSechny easopisy.

S prvnim provedenim teto opery v Americe spojeno jest nerozluene jmeno Ceske slavne, umelkyne Emmy Destinoye. Po "Prodane neveste" vznikla vadna, historicka zpevohra "Dalibor", jid poeal orudkY boj proti Smetanovi, ale on kradel neohrodene za svYm idealem a rokt 1872 nodal narodu velkolepou slavnostni zpeyobru "Libu gi".

V tadove schilzi sestra organizatorka, Mary LaZnovska oznamila nave eleny, kteti si vzali Zivotni pojistky u SPJST, jako zaruku v nenadanem odchodu. Dnes ty male pojistky, jako kdysi 250 dolaril a 500 dolarti, si malo lidi bete. Kdysi byla 500 dolarti pojistka hotovYm bohatstvim, ze ktereho portistali mohli zaplatiti pohteb, a je gte nee° zbylo. Ja. sam jsem to prodelal v roce 1939, ale od to doby se easy zmenily, kdy jsme kaZdY "pet'ak" obratili na dlani, neZ jsme ho vydali. Dnes nestaei na pohteb ani 500 ,dolarova pojistka, kdy nechcete, aby vas bide poanlouvali. Dnes z pojistky 1,000 dolara varn moc nezbude pfi itmrti Clena vagi rodiny.

Dnes, kdy mame veliky, obeh penez, je snadgi ten dolar sehnati, berou si Tide \TM pojigteni, aby v nenadalem pade rimrti nemela rodina finanei starosti s pohitem.

Plana rune Divei Roman Pokraeovani "U 2i&y, matinko! Chtela jsem vain zgasobit ptekvapeni a myslim, take, Ze vas to hadne prekvapilo?" patrala Rd,Zenka prostoduCne. "To viS, duSinko, velice udelala jsi nam radost."

Rilknka nahodou pohledla pri torn na Jaroslava a zdada se ji, le vidi na jeho tvati poSklebek. Chtela cosi kid, ale nahle se ji aka zamlkla slzou litosti, kterou vSak ihned potlaeila.

Snad se nesrnal Jarola ji? Ale pak by zajiste nebyl dobrkm, ale zIkm, zlkm, zlkm.

Tise odeSla ku svkm novkm hraekam, pohladila kaklou zvlaSt', naod si rozevrela na stole nejkrasnejSi 'Ceske povidky Bokny Nemcove, krasne illustrovane malikm Scheinerem.

Kdy2 pozdeji lekla v loZnici ye sve mekke, vonne postklce, z ktere se tak rada divavala na velkau , podobiznu tety Zdenky, povekne na strane protejgi, uvaZovala o vgem, co ji dnes krasneho potkalo a vzpomnela pri torn vane loriskkch. Ach, jak velice chce bkti vdeenou laskavkm pestountm za to, Ze ji vysvobodili z to hrozne bidy, v drive 'Zila. Je ji vnimave srdeeko sevklo se pri pornySleni, jake vanoce byla by opet proZiti musila tam v horach, kdyby sam 13th ve sve nevyzpitatelne moudrosti nebyl ji z okoli popudlive, mrzute Marjani vysvobodil. Z detske jeji duse vrouci povzdech dike `vzhdru k nebestn, jeZ slySi i modliteb nevyslovenkch.

Jak bohate a gtedre byla dnes obdarovana tolika 'krasnkmi vecmi. Oh, to se ji nikdy ani nesnilo, Ze by jednou mohla proZiti tak krasnk Stedrk veeer. Jak nesmirne dobra jest matinka a jak jest tatinek laskavk a ca vlidnk, milk strkc Jindrich. JeSte jen ten Jarola! Proe mu je tak protivna? Pro es ji nemiluje tak, jako ti druzi?

K temto uvaham misila se vzpominka na. krasnau povidku z to velke, pekne kni hy, ktere se stale ,dosti naobdivovati nemohla, je'Z ji matinka sama preeetla, jelikoZ Rtitknka neumela dosud tak zbeZne jako divky v jejim stari.

Nemohla dnes usnouti a kdy2 pani Helena pri'Sla se po chvili podivati, jiZ ,tu ji chytila za ruku, polibila ji a prosila: "Ach, matinko, povidej mi nee° o JeZTSkovi, slkchala jsem drive o rem tak malo. . ."

'Pani Helena pohladila hladke &vetno eilko a chepajic jeji prani, sedla na palest Inka, a vzavAi rueku jeji do svkch dlani pravila: "Povim ti treba, jak: sam Jelikk uznal, ze nejvetSim a nejkrasnejSim darkem jest dobra kniha. ChceS?" "0 ano, ano — vklyt' main knihy take rada a ta, jiz mi JeliSek daroval, je tak luasna!"

"Nuk. . . "Padaji hvezdy!" fikali lids — ale nebyly to hvezdy, nkbrZ Jelikk, jenZ se snaSel s nebe. Od okna k oknu betel a pohliZel do sketnic, nebot' bylo prave pied Stedrkm ;deem a On by byl rad vyzkoumal lidska prani. A tu uslykl podivne veci!

Mlada, divka stala u okna a pOhlikla rortoukne k noenimu, hvezdnatemu nebi.

"Ach," povzdechla jeji rtidova itstka.

"Ke2 bych poznala lasku, tuto sladkou, blaknou hadanku, o ktere mne ani mat-. ka, ani otec poueiti nemohou a o nil nikdo mi dosti riot nemuk."

Jelikk se usmal a letel dale.

Spatril za oknem jinocha, jen opiral sve 2houci Belo o dlari: "JseM zalat stiSnenkmi pomery [otcovskeho dornu a ma-lomesta, a moje horouci touha nese mne. mi, Bole, toho §testi, bych poznati hi krasnk, velkk svet, zjev mi, jak to tarn venku vyhlili, pau es me a ukaa mi pravk, skuteenk Zivot!"

A dale unakly perute nebeskeho pozorovatele.

Nemocna, vzdychala do svkch podukk: "Ach, dej mi zapomenouti mkch bolesti.

Words have been selected which are

Address all matters to the Editor: P. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1897

—HERALD— Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 400, TEMPLE, TEX.

FROIV1 Ann! iersary . Issue Material Must Be In By June 10 Deadline If you have attended your District Meeting this Spring, you will have received information on the Sixty-Fifth Anniversary Issue which will come out July 1st.

If you will think for a moment, you will realize that any material you send In has to be corrected, typed sand then the linotype operator has to set it up in the Vestnik format. For your information — it takes better than three days of work for the Vestnik type to be set up (approximately give or take), so if you send in your material at the Eleventh Hour — your material will not appear in this particular issue. Then, too, if you send a picture with your Write-up, you must allow at least a week's time to get the "Cut" to Fort Worth, where Our cuts are made and then back to West. also note, that colored pictures cannot be used, only black and white.

Your Editor reads the Vestnik over four times to catch errors. Sometimes under the pressure of time, he even takes his material home as "homework" working into the night to get it back to the shop, so that work would proceed smoothly and effectively for Vestnik's mailing deodline. There are only two trains out of West for this mail So far, the deadline has always met, many times it requires the type setters to work all night to meet the mailing deadline; so that your Vestnik would reach you at the customary time. Like in any other newspaper, your Vestnik has a deadline which must be met, rain or shine, sleet, snow or tornado.

To do your members justice after you have gone to the trouble to write up their stories, GET THE MATERIAL TO US ON TIME. While it is commendable that our members be active in civic, religious, community and school projects, we are

One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." principally interested in the SPJST end of his or her activity, so let's keep the story on the SPJST Lodge work. Remember, too, that while many a brother was a leader in his Lodge; there were many sisters who also led the lodge activity in their capacities. Many of them lead our beloved "divadla" dramatic groups; entertainment committees, sick committees, children's programs; ran the early libraries which many of our Lodges maintained; kl;tchens, sewing circles, etc. Let's not leave out the Sisters! We had, and have many talented women among us.

There can be many interesting stories of Lodge life among you, if you will just map out your writing. Besides the horse, the surrey, many members walked many a long block in our cities to Lodge meetings; many of our lodges were lighted with kerosene lanterns, which, in a high wind had a tendency to smoke up; while the little ones slept on a quilt under a bench, by the wall. Some Lodges had their homemade benches with swinging tops whose top opened out, and with a cotton mattress the little ones were lined into the bed of the bench to rest while mama and papa took a turn

around the dance floor to the tune of the accordion, bull fiddle and a violin.

Some only had accordion music, but the floor resounded with a stomping good time dancing polkas and our beloved czech waltzes. Some of the sisters came in calico dresses, which at that time cost them some thirty cents to make.

They had a new dress every dance. Some came in overalls, wash pants, heavy hsoes; in wagons with a bale of hay for "old dobbin" who munched outside while his master danced.

Then the box-lunch socials — where the young ladies outdid themselves for the lovliest box. The basket-lunch spreads — later the huge pot, heating pounds and pounds of klobasy (sausage) which with, a spanking of mustard between two slices of rye bre:16 were eaten so ravenously after an afternoon of activity. Remember the roof-raiing of our Halls. Remember when indoor rest rooms, gas stoves, lighted stages, were put into our Halls. Remember? What a world of interesting facts can be accumulated into the Anniversary Issue. It is the story of our lives as they are tied in with our Order. One sister sometime ago wrote, how she and her daughter used to go from house to house. just be fore a Lodge Meeting, selling fryers at

More details will be announced just as soon as they work out a firm. date so that other lodges in that District would honor this revised date.

The newly elected officers promised to have the information in the Vestnik immediately.

After the pledge to our Flag by Jeanette Hruska of 48 brother President Spanhel then turned the meeting over to the District Two Youth Director, sister Clara Hejl, who with her assistant sister B. C. Stalmach of the host lodge, presented the Youth Program.

The first number was an acrostic: WELCOME, with the following participants. Bruce Stalmach, Karen Shiller, Larry Shiller, Karen Pokorny, Randy Shiller, Kandy Shiller and Gail Pokorny.

The Second Number was an English and a Czech song by District Two's already known Frank Klinkovsky Jr., who sang: "Oh Glory, Halleluiah" and "Trava Zelena" in Czech. Frankle was in the top three at last year's talent audition held at Camp Tahuaya. His Czech is perfeet.

The third number was a skit — "Hired Man" — depicting the trials and tribulations of a sleepy hired hand, by Carolyn Shiner and Linda 1VIalish.

The fourth number was a Czech recitation by pretty Jeanette Hruska of Lodge No. 48 "Ten Nas Pee, Shakal Dnes," The fifth number was a tap dance and song rendition from Lodge No. 92, consisting of the youth of Lodge Praha, Deruse Bartosh and James Bartosh. and then Dianne and Dennis Jasek, dressed in pretty short, red net skirt outfits, red shoes and the boys in red bolero jacket, silver shoes for a routine tap dance and singing "My Sugar is so Refined."

They are two couples of talented youngsters from Praha's youth clube, Lodge 29. po Sister Hejl then read a telegram of greetings and best wishes from the Sefciks of District Five, Houston.

The following members were present and seated themselves (left to right in the picture) : Brother J. A. Walshak of Lodge No. 15, Buckbolts, Texas; Brother Ad.

Addressing the honorees in Czech, brother Urbanovsky congratulated them on their 50-yea Jubilee, in the Lodge work. He showed them through figures just how much. the Order has grown in those fifty years of their effort in its behalf. "This is the work of our fiftyyear members who started fifty years ago. It took all of them; there were hardships, work; but it seems that th•e "social life" in those times was much better than it is today. Brother Urbanovsky reminesced when as a little boy he travelled with his parents to "Lodge" in a wagon, near Seymour, Texas, a mattress was placed for the youngsters to sleep on and away they went to "Lodge."

Once more he congratulated them and hoped that they would all be with us to celebrate the 70-year Jubilee.

Brother Edward L. Marek, Supreme Lodge President, speaking in English then Czech stated that "on this occasion we are gathered here, and it is a pleasureto come to a (lodge) home; the center of a lodge. May I on this occasion congratulate the members of Lodge No. 48; you have done a wonderful job. We look forward in the years to come to when we shall meet here again in your company and hospitality. On this occasion I want to thank the Youth Leaders of your Lodge and Sister Hejl, the District Youth Director, for presenting the program of young folks. There is nothing more inspiring than the performanc of our youn,g folks. They are the leaders of tomorrow.

Brother Marek also presented greetings and best wishes from fellow Supreme Lodge officers who were not presant due to another District Meeting

"It goes to show you that all of us are working together. Our main source of business are our Mortgage Loans," and he again quoted figures.

such a long time. "We are going to try to make it. Congratulations to Sister Kasparek for being the top organizer with brother Chas. Navratil next, for last year.

Brother Willie Hejl heads the roll of District organizers every month. He took a bow. "As president of Lodge No, 29, Praha in Taylor, Texas," continued brother Mikolaj, "I would like to invite each and everyone next Sunday May 6th for our annual Mayfete.

Wednesday, May 9, 1962 who prepared the program.' Speak'ng in Czech brother Barina repeated the above basic ideas for those who can better understand the Czech tongue.

"We must never forget that it was you who prepared this ground upon which the younger members can progress and must remember those who will follow us; therefore, we must value our Youth," stated brother Barina.

"The First Sunday in May, there will be many functions and many of you will not be able to come to our Meeting in Kovar, but I want to assure you that you will be most welcome if you do come." he concluded.

District President Spanhel then asked his District Treasurer, brother Frank Klinkovsky to make his Treasurer's Report, after which Sister Clara Hejl, gave her Report, reading the District Two roster of events for 1961 and tentative plans for 1962.

A discussion arose regarding the Annual Youth Activity Day; that the date be set early and not conflict with other activities.

It was voted that the next District Meeting be held at Camp Tahuaya in August, the exact Sunday to be announced just as soon as officers confirm the date with camp officials.

Brother Boudny stated it was a relief to have no office after so many years. /Thanks to everyone.

Sister Clara Hejl thanked everyone "for being satisfied with me." I was hoping that you would get someone to take my place; but I do appreciate it.

Our meeting was opened and conducted in the usual manner with all of the officers present. The greatest portion of our meeting was reserved to further complete the plans of our annual picnic and combined celebration of the 65th anniversary of the SPJST — the date has been set for July 1st.

So we extend a hearty invitation to all the officers of the Supreme Lodge.

Also all the members of the local lodge to come and celebrate this happy occasion with us.

Before I conclude I must say that a good number of Lodge No. 15 members attended the District II Meeting in Bayersville which was a very successful and enjoyable event. Lots of Progressive luck to Lodge No. 48.

Our next regular meeting will be Sunday May 13th. Time 2 p.m. Hope to see everyone then.

NO. 165 MOULTON, TEXAS Dear readers and writers of Vestnik: So Easter Holidays are over and the Good Lord Blessed the farmers and ranchers once again with a slow soaking rain which. has been very badly needed by the earth.

The farmers in our community are not as yet through with cotton planting so there will be some late cotton to pick.

The Moulton VFW Picnic which was held on Easter Sunday was a grand success. Seems like everyone was happy to be living.

Our last Lodge Meeting was well attended. The Door Prize went to brother Adolf Wagner.

A Respect was offered of a few minutes of silent prayer for our departed brother Ed Novak, long time resident of the Moulton Community.

The Report of our Noodle Soup Dinner was read by Brother Adolf Wagner and all present were pleased with the profit made.

Our sister Elizabeth. Beran has been a patient in Victoria Hospital for a few days, now she is back home and doing fine. We are glad to hear she is on the road to recovery. Sister Beran has always been one of the busy-bees who didn't have to be asked twice to help or do anything for the good of our Lodge.

Last week I had the pleasure to visit for a while with our Charter Member

Stana 23 Sister Vera Svoboda who lives with her daughter Rose and her husband Henry Helweg, here in Moulton. Grandina is doing fine, although she uses a wheel chair but she can see without eye glasses. I was amazed at the beauty of the flowers in Mrs. Helweg's yard.

7ewberry picking time is here and tl'ey are very Scarce. Ours in our garden wore blooming before the heavy freeze, so we won't have much this year.

This is just a friendly reminder to you members of our Lodge — there will be NO meeting in the month. of May, due to its being Mother's Day on that Sunday, May 13, but there will be a District Meeting on May 6 at Taiton, Texas.

Our next meeting will be the Second Sunday in June — June 10th.

YOUTH OF LODGE NO. 66 WACO Dear Members, Sunday April 29th was a perfect day for our tour of the Holasek farm. We met at the court house in Hillsboro and went to the farm in a caravan, where we met Bro. and Sis. Otto Hanus. When we reached the stopping point everyone scattered, in all directions. The youth club members had fun hunting for treasures in the creek beds and on the trails that led them from one place to another. It was fun to run up the banks of the creek and do your best to stay out of the mud. Some were not as successful as others. We went to two different lmations and it will be hard to decide just which. one would be the most suitable for our youth camp site. It is wonderful that we have two members in our lodge as nice as Brother and Sister Joe Holasek, was to us. Most people of today want something given to them instead of giving to others, and it makes you stop and think just how' wonderful some people can be.

Our next meeting will be May 20th and I hope you all can be there. Especially those who went on the trip I was telling about in this letter, so we can

The New Manpower Development Act 1. The Act provides a three-year program of occupational training with priority given to unemployed persons including those in farm families which net less than $1,200 per pear. Training will also be offered to employed persons in order to update and upgrade their skills.

Training' for unemployed persons is iino need by 100 per cent federal sUpporC for the first two years. Otherwise the program is financed by 50-50 state matching, 2. For unemployed persons receiving training, the Act will permit the payment of training allowances roughly equal to unemployment compensation benefits in the respective states. Such 'training allowances will be avoilable to those heads of households with three years of working experience. The training allowances are also to, be financed 100 per cent by federal support for the first two years and 50-50 state matching thereafter.

3. Modest transportation and subsistence payments can be made to individ.uals receiving training away from home because of the unavailability of local training facilities.

4. The Labor Department will provide a program to test and select those to be trained. It will also provide placement services to trainees upon completion of their training program.

5. The total number which will be given vocational training is estimated to be 110,000 the first year, 160,000 the second year, and 300,000 the third year. The exact balance between unemployed persons and others receiving training will

vary between States and at different times. The length of the training period will vary depending upon the occupations involved and the labor market needs.

6. Training will be primarily carried out through the various existing State vocational agencies; if public institutions are not available, the State vocational agencies shall bake arrangements with private training institutions.

7. The Act provides for a stepped-up program of on-the-job training. Since a wage will be paid by employers to the on-the-job trainees, training allowances will be reduced accordingly. The number of persons receiving on-the-job training will depend upon the extent to which employers find such training suitable.

8. The Act contains safeguards which will assure that states maintain existing levels of expenditure for vocational training from their own funds, to encourage prospective trainees to accept training opportunities rather than remain on unemployment compensation, to avoid aid to "pirating" o,f industrial plants, to assure training is related to job opportunities, and to prevent abuses of the program b y trainees.

9. The Act sets fourth a formula for the equitable apportionment of Federal funds among the states, based generally open the size of the labor force, the levl of unemployment insurance benelits, and the incidence of unemployment within each state.

10. An annual Manpower Report will be submitted to the Congress. The Secre-

11. The Act provides a special program for the counseling and training of at east 25,000 youth 16 through 21 years of age. Unemployed youth may be referred to training programs special' designed to fit them for jobs. Such youth would be eligible also for subsistence and transportation costs. For those between 19 through 21, up to $20 per week may be paid as training allowances.

12. The Act contains a provision permitting reimbursement to the trust funds of those states which permit and pay unemployment insurance benefits to those who undergo training authorized by the Act. • They arrived at the fifth inning.

This was the story of the fall of Czechoslovakia, and to it is closely tied the restriction of the ownership of firearms.

The Czechs had allowed the passage of an arms control and registration law, and through it — men walked to the front door and demanded all the guns listed for the owner of the house—the free people of Czechoslovakia were disarmed and their nation destroyed
