Redakeni tivaha: JAZYK CESlif A ZACHOVAN1 NASICH TRADIC Kolik umigi jazykil, tolikrat jsi 6.ovekern, prohlasil velikY nemeckY ba,snik Goethe. Kdo umi vice jazykii, ma phi laitost uplatniti se ye vice pripadech nal ten kdo ovlada pouze jeden. Ma lepgi schopnost utiti svYch talentt, pray a moci. Idealni pratelstvi 2ada, porozumeni druh druhu. Prri poznani ciziho jazyka, je to poznani nove kultury, a dose, moinost jejiho oceneni a vyznamu. 6asto se tvrdi, e mnoho nedorozumeni v mezinarodni einnosti a stykani vubec s jinymi narody se maze oduvodnit tim, Ze Cleastnici, nemohou si yzajemne pochopit a rozumet vuli neznani jejich jazykil, tudi2 jejich kultury, zvyktit, a pod.

Jak 6asto se stava v ivotè e jeden kriticky posuzuje aneb ciziho podezfiva proto 2e mu dobie nerozumi. Zaroyeil kdy2 nekdo mezi nas hovoFI v cizim jazyku, tak hned vznikne podezfeni, 2e miuvi o nas.

• asto v nynejLi dobe slygime otazkou,

jak dlouho jegte bude nage krajanska vetev v Americe schopna 2ivota. Jsou jedinci, kteri odhaduji na g Zivot na 20 — 30 let. Podlehati timto nazorilm znamenalo by urychlovati na g konec a zanik.

Kdo mysli stale na and, ten ji vlastilC privolava.

Nutno hci, e skuteenost nas neopravimje k priznivYm nadejim. Zastaveni pristehovalectvi, jista ochablost v nagem spolkovem Zivote, jsou v ge padne doklady. PM vgech tech nepriznivYch okolnostech jsme dne gkem na torn o mnohem Lope ne2 si mnozi domY glell, a rtizna proroctvi se tipine neosvedeila.

Z Inch Kazi se obiral alekakstim, Teta byla kneakou pohanskYch boha, kdeato Libuge dobre se vyznala v pravnich obyeejich sveho lidu. LibuSe stala se dediekou otcovskeho tranu, na kterfa vedle sebe povolala jako sveho manaela rolnika Pkemysla, ze Stadia. Poslam, kteki meli Libuk muae a techilm kniaete privesti, dala LibuSe sveho kone, jena je zavedl k Premyslovi. Zastihli jej prove na poli pri °rani; kun se mu poklonil a Premysl, uslySev poselstvi, vsedl na kone a obiral se do Prahy.

Pkem.ysla povakvali stari techove za vynalezce a ptivocite staroslovanskeho prava, iktereato pra y° pry platilo v 6echach as do easa cisare Karla IV. Mame za •to, k mySlenka o ptivodu prava eeskeho od Pkemysla jest krasnou, baji.

Piece vaak Cechova, chtelice miti od syYch zapadnich souseda pokoj, uvolili se Karlovi a jeho nastupcum odvadeti roani poplatek 500 htiven stribra a 120 volti. Od to doby poeitany byly Cechy k kik nemecke, ae se teSily *pine nezavislosti. OvSem, nemeeti cisarove easteji o to usilovali, aby jejich panstvi nadt 6echami, jen jaksi die jmena, vykonavane, promenilo se V panstvi skuteene, ale bez vYsledku a ilspechu.

Z BoleslavovYch nastupcii jest pameti hodnyt knik Oldrich. On vzal si za aenu selskou ,dceru, krasnou Boaenu a zaloail klaker Saza yskY, kde pa nekolik desitileti se konaly bohosluaby jazykem slovanskYm; prvnim opatem tamnejSim byl Prokop.

Tenkrat se preli o trtin cisarsky v Nemcich Filip Svabsky a Otto BrunAvickY a oba udelili Premyslovi, jena nejprve se pridrael Filipa a pozdeji Otty, titul kralovskY, coa bylo potvrzeno papea'em Innocencem III. r. 1204.

Veil co zadalo bkt teplo a sluneeno tak se asi kdesi ztratila a doufejme, ae se na mtetka flu vice nevrati. Tak tedy vidite prod jsem spig nepsal. Mel jsem vlastne napsat "drive" na misto "spi g", ale ,kdya nas maminka nand'. rikat "spi g" (ad to mini vlastne spat) tedy d ye rozdilne yea.

My si to nepletem a pamatujem si to dele nea co nas ye akole ueili.

Jak vidite je ta moje fee propletena morayskkm a trochu I slovackkm naredim neb my z toho kraje pochazime, a pletli jsme do toho i trochu nimeiny, jako "drajtus" na misto trino gka, aneb jsme rikali "ein zwei" na misto jedna dye. Tak tedy odpust'te, v gak si stejne rozumime. Ze ano? Kdya ua jsu tak trochu v kuraai tak vam napigi jednom starkm mladenci, kterk se ale preei jenom oaenil. Ant nevedel jak se

V2STlifK to vlastne stale neb on si pled time nikdy aenskkch vtibee nev gimal. No ale oaenil se a za jeden mesic men male, jak tam u. Inch 'Akan novorozeriatka, aneb jak mi kikame "bejbinkam". Stark mladenee ale nyni St'astnk tatinek rnel velikou radost z to udalosti, ani ne tak z toho maleho jako z toho ae priglo tak brzy. Celt' zaril radosti a vyptaval se aenskkeh co bude to male vaeeko potkebovat. Nejspi g a nejvic kolebku povidaly aenske. A jak diouho ditko koleloku pottebuje, dill jak dlouho se dite musi kolebat?

To ostatni ua si At'astnk tatinek sesumiroval sam. Ad o podobnkch zaleaitostech jake na neha nyni pti glk vtibee nic nevedel. Byl piece jenom obchodniho ducha a dle toho take jednal. Jel do mesta a rovno do obchodu s nabytkem. Maji-li pry kolelaky a co jedna, stoji? Kdyi mu to rekli tak chtel hned zase veclet jakou slevu mu daji kdya tech kolebek koupi dvanact naraz Obchodnik se ho ptal co mini vlastne delat ae kupuje dvanact kolebek najednou, dyt' jich v obehode tolik ani nena. St'astnk tatinek obchodnikovi radostne vypravuje, ze je jeden mesic ' enatST a ua maji male, a ae aenske pavidali, ae se musi eelk jeden rok male kolebat, kdya prijde kaadk mesic jedno tak do roka jich bude piece dvanact, tak prod bych jsem kaadk mesic jezdil, a na dvanact mne piece date slevu ne?

Toto ua bylo na obchodnika, trochu mod, postavil se pled novella tatinka a povidal mu. "Clovede" snad opravdu nevekite, ae to ditko je tvoje"? To zase bylo trochu moe na novella tatinka.

Vypjal se do cele sve- vy glcy a vkhruane obchodnikovi odpovidal, neni moje?" to ja bych se safra podival, plece kdya ja, koupim kravu a ona ma za mesic tele, di je to tele, co?" Dal nevim co se Belo ale musime uznat ae ad ten novy toho mod nevedel ae poditat piece jenom umel a svoje pravo take si nenechal nikomu vzit.

Jegte chci pripomenout organisatorum prvniho okrsku ae "name nyni soutea v prodavani poji gteni, alma ua je prye podasi dosti pane, tedy i nalada lep gi. Prosim vyuaijte toho a prodavejte, ani se nenadate a budou vam dochazet eeky co odmena, a piatom se seznamite s novkmi lidmi a udelate si pratele. Tedy jen s chuti do toho.

Infonnaeni elan& Vyhlidky na sniZeni dani Debaty o dani z ptijmu, jejim sniZeni a reforms budou nepochybne zamestnavati kongres jests ,dlouho dobu. Tento namet 'WI se ptirozene velke pozornosti vetejnosti, nebot' kone6ne rozhodnuti kongresu v teto veci bude miti p1ln vliv na peneZenku vice nali 65,000.000 Ameriearra, kteri plati dane ze svYch mezd, plate a jinSTh P1k uklaclani dani spadaly valy na vahu predevaim dye veci, a sice kolik penez je tteba na vydrZovani vlady, a jak nejfioelneji tyto da.ne vybirati. Pred padesati lety pridruZil se k nim treti princip: jak spravedlive jsou dane; zda zateZuji nejvice lidi s malYm prijmem, jim2 jsou nejvetaim bremenem, nebo postihuji vice lick s vetann kteri mohou platiti s menSimi obetniil Toto chapani spravedlnosti vedlo v mnoha zemichk pit eti stupnovane dane z pkijmu, dane, ktera, znamend ye Spojeny. ch statech hlavni zdroj vladnich prijmu. Dnes tato dan kolisa mezi 20 procenty, placemimi prtimerrV7m delnikem se Zenon a dvema ,detmi, a 91 procenty, placenYmi lidmi, ktefi maji vice neZli $400.000 rooniho prijmu.

Jsou zde tez dane korporaeni, ktere dosahuji u velkYch spoleenosti aZ 52 Drocent.

Stoji za povaimnuti, v pritomnch debatach kongresnich objevuje se jeate etvrta, pomerne nova twaha. President Kennedy a jeho narodohospocial'ati znalci doSii k presvedeeni, dane dosahly takove vYae, Ze vlastne brzdi hospoclarsky rozkvet zeme. Ve vysoce zindustrialisovanych kapitalistickYch zemich reaguje hospodarstvi na sebemenai vYkyvy v dariove soustaye.

Hdy Z s tedy velini zamanY elovek mu-

VESTNfK si dat velkou east sveho pkijmu de, zbude mu pravdepodobne malo na investovani do noveho podniku. A kdy2 pramerna americka rodina plati 20 a2 30 procent sveho pkijmu federalni vlade, zbS7va ji ptilig malo penez na veci, ktere by jinak kupovala, a to vede k nucenemu sniZeni produkce a k omezeni pracovnich mist.

Prave se zietelem na toto fakta obratil se president ke lkongresu se Zadosti o sniZeni dani. Rude-li .jeho program ptijat, bude dariova, sazba manZelskeho parka s roenim ptijmem kolem $5.000 sniZena z dosavadnich 20 procent na 14, a to postupem tti let.

V techto tfech letech klesla by i dap lidi s pkijmem. $400.000 a vice a 91 procent na 65 procent. Maximalni, korporaeni dan byla by misto 52 procent 47 procent. Jine navrhovane zmeny by naopak ponekud zv3igily pfijem, aby tak vlactu aspori easteene odSkodnily za ztratu, odhadovanou asi na 13.6 miliard dolart.

Budou-li vgechny tyto reformy ptijaty, bude ztrata ze sniZenYch dani omezena behem pti gtich tti let asi na 8.7 miliard dolartt. Vlada je vaak ptesvedeend, Ze behem let by vladni ptijern naopak stoupl, protole men gi time umoZnily by rychlejai rozmach, a vzkvetajici hospodarstvi vedlo by k vetgimu blahobytu. )0 ) Pivo v eeskSrch dejinich, tradici a strave Co se tYee obliby a tradice je pivo nerozluenou sloZkou Ceskeho jidelnieku. Tak aspon tvrdi dr. Rula. L. Stuern-iova, vSikonna rnistopkedsedlcyne Masaryk Institute, Ceskoslovenske organisace kulturni v New Yorku.

"Pivo hodi se vYborne k typickYrn eeskYm jidlam," pra,vi dr. Stuermova. "eechoamerieane jsou velci konsumenti americkeho piva, ktere nesmi na nim stole claybeti. Nahlednete-li do dejepisu, shleclate, ze jak vYroloa, tak i spotreba piva existuji mezi 0echy velmi dlouho."

Odhad spotfeby americkeho piva prizlizne milionem 6echoslovakfi prvni a druhe generace, Zljicich v pfitomnosti ye SpojenYch statech, odhaluje zajimavou situaci. Piji-li O&M ' tolik piva jako ye stare vlasti —a vaechny naznaky zdaji se tomu nasvedeovat pak by jejich rani spotreba americkeho piva byla 25.5 galonu na osobu, Cili o dobrych 10 galona vice, nali je pramer celozemskY. Jeden dilvod teto vetai spotfeby je podle sloe dr. Stuermove to, Ze pivo se tak ,dottre hock k charakteristickYm eeslcm jidlum jako na pkiklad k huse a knedlikem. Jine.

7 vysvetleni spoeiva ye faktu, ze 6e gi jako stkidm S7 narod clavaji prednost "napoji umirnenosti".

A tak 681 dneaka, nejen TZ'e se pfidrZ'uji velke narodni tradice kulturni, ale podporuji yydatne i jeden itsek hospodarske moci SpojenYch state. Zasluhou pivovarstvi koluje americkYm stem a obchodem nejakyclo pet miliard clolarti roene.

Dejiny odhaluji tea fidkY druh oddanosti, ktera primela cely narod jiti do valky kvali napoji. Cosi podobneho se vskutku stab v aechach koncem patnacteho stoleti, kdy pivo zavdalo jeden davod k dlouhe a krvave valce!

Byla kdysi doba, kdy Cechy pfedeily civilisaci ostatni zeme Evropy. Umeni, obchod, pramysl, zemedelstvi a hornictvi uteaene vzkvetaly, proslula university Pra'Zska poZivala nepopiratelne vaZnosti, a zeal vabila vaechny Evropany, kteri si vazili vzdelani a svetoveho rozhledu. Velka, Cast tato kultury spoeivala na pivo y arskem hospodarstvi.

Uprostred tohoto Ceskeho rozkvetu vypukly "pivni boje" mezi panskYrn stavem a meat'any. Pivovarnictvi a sladovnictvi byly od nepametna jednou z vysoce cenenYch vYsad meat'ana; alechta smela si variti pivo toliko pro svou osobni spotrebu. A nyni pani a rytiri zaeali staveti pivovary a vatiti pivo na prodej, proti eemuZ se megt'anO postavili jako proti pornaeni ocivelcych pray.

Po vlekle a krvave valce musela se mesta nakonec podvoliti a vzdati se vetainy syYch vysacl. Toto zanechalo neblahe nasledky na eeskem pivovarnictvi na dlouhou dobu. Tradice mela vaak hluboke koreny, a pramysl Hdyl viny CeskYch pfistehovalcit dospely k aanerickYm lotehtim, pkinaaely s sebou nejednoho zkuSeneho pivovarnika, kterY no gel sve misto v americ• kern pramyslu a obohatil ho svYmi odbornYmi znalostmi. oeska tradice, spojend s vice nag tisiciletim vafeni piva, je hluboce zakorenena a uchluje se i na pade Noveho sveta. Oslavy a pisne na poecst piva nejsou mezi aechoamerieany vzacnosti.

Jimi zachovava se jeden ze vzacnYch odkaza Ceske kultury. Pivo naSlo si cestu i do tak ryze Ceske opery. jako je Smetanova "Prodana nevesta". Slyalme v ni chvalozpev piva celYm sbo rem, a to slovy, jimU se uctiva jako podporovatel sily, optimisnru a odvahN-: To piveoko, to veru je nebeskY dar, vae psoty a trampoty vede na zmar, a sili a dava kuraZ'e.

Osudy dobreho vojaka Svejka pi8E JAROSLAV HASEK Dil prvni v zazemi Pokraeovanl A zatimco porueik supel, pokraeoval 8vejk dale: "Tak jsem se nejak nezalibil tomu panu pleaatemu generalmajorovi a byl jsem poslan ven na chodbu panem obrlajtnantem Luka gem, u ktereho jsem burSem. Na chodbe potom byl jsem obvinenej, ze jsem udelal to, jak uz jsem yam kikal. Nez ta vec se vytidila, tak jsern zustal na perone sam. Vlak byll prye, pan obrlajtnant i s kufry i se vaemi avYma, rnYma dokumenty taky prye a ja, to zUstal civet jako sirotek bez dokumentil."

8vejk podival se tak dojemne a neftre na porueika, ze tomu bylo ted' pine jasne, ze je pinou pravdou, co zde, slyai od toho chlapa, delajiciho takovY dojem pitomce od narozeni.

Porueik vyjmenoval nyni Avejkovi vS'echny vlaky, ktere po rychliku odjely do BudejOvic, a poloN1 mu otazku, proe zmeikal ty vlaky.

"Posluane hlasim, pane lajtnant," odpovedel 8vejk, dobromyslne se usmivaje, "Ze mne mezitim, co jsem eekal na ten nejbli as i vlak, stihla ta nehoda, Z"e jsem pil za stoiem jedno pivo za druhYnt." "Takoveho vola jsem nevidel," pomyslil si porueik, "pkizna se ke vaemu.

Kolik uz jsem jich tady mel, a kaIdil zapiral, a tenhie si klidne ieknc: `Zmealal jsem vaechny vlaky, ponevad'2 jsem pil jedno pivo za druhYm.'" Tyto frvahy shrnul v jednu vetu, s kterou se obratil k 8vejkovi: "Vy jste

Ve stiedu, dne 10. dubna 1963 chlape, degenerovanej. Vito, co je to, kdyZ se o nekom kenke, ze je degenerovanej?"

• "U nas na rohu Bojiate a KatekinskY ulice, posIUSne hlasim, pane lajtnant, byl taky jeden degenerovanej elovek. Jeho otec byl jeden polskej hrabe a matka byla porodni babou.

Von met ulice a jinak sj po kokalnach nenechal kikat neZ jako pan hrabei Poruelk uznal za dobre nejakYm zpiisobem tit' to vaechno ukoneit, proto kekl dirrazne: "Tak varn kikam, vy hlupaku, paznehte, 2e piijdete k poklad. ne, koupite si listek a pojedete do Budejovic. Jestli vas jests tady uvidim, tak s vami zatoeim jako s dezertYrem.

Abtreten!"

Ponevaa se 8vejk nehYbal a stale clrZel ruku na Stitku eepice, porueik saival: "Marsch hinaus, neslySel jste, abtreten? Korporal Palanek, vezmete toho ehlapa blbeho ke kase a kupte mu listek do CeskYch Budejovic!"

Desatnik Palanek se za rchvili objevil zpot v kancelaki. PootevkenYmi nakukovala za Palankem dobromyslna tval. gvejkova.

"Posluane hlasim, pane lajtnant," tajemne zaSeptal desatnik Palanek, "von nema penize na. dranu a ja, taky ne. Zadarmo ho nechteji vozit, ponevan' nema jako ty vojenskY dokumenty, 2e jede k pluku."

Porueik nedal na sebe dlouho eekat se SalamounskYm rozkeaenim trudne otazky.

"Tak at' jde pesky," rozhodl, "at' ho zavkou u pluku, Ze se opozdil; kdo se s nim tady bude tahat."

"Nic platno, kamarade," iekl desatnik Palanek k 8vejkovi, kdy'Z vy gel z kancelake, "musi g jit, holenku, peaky do Budejovic. Mame tarn na vacheimke veku komisarku, tak ti ji dame na cestu."

A za pul hodiny, Ikdyz Svejka napojili jests eernou kavou a dali mu krome komisarku balieek vojenskeho tabaku na cestu regimentu, vyael Svejk z Tabora za tmave noel, kteroa znel jeho zpev. Zpival si starou vojenskou Kdyz jsrne tahli k Jaromeki, at' si nam to kdo clue veki...

A tak Svejk se objevil na zapad od Miievska v Kvetove, ikdy'Z' ji g vysttidal vgechny vojenske pisne, ktere znal o ma girovani vojakfr, tak ge byl nucen zaeiti znovu pied Kvetovem a pisni: Kdy g jsme magirovali, vg echny holky plakaly...

"Ale jdu vam, matieko, do Budejovic k regimentu", odpovedel gvejk, "do tej valky."

"Ale to jdou, Apatne, vojaeku", ulekane iekla babieka, "to tarn. nikdy nePfi j dou na Klatovy."

"U nas byl taky takovej nezbeda je den. Ten men jest do Plane k landver, nejakej Tonieek Ma gkii," povzdechla si babieka, "von je vod moji netete pkibuznej, a vodjel. A za tejden se yobjevil u nas v civilu, ge prej je pugtenej domti na urldb. Tak gel starosta na eetnictvo a voni ho z toll() urlabu vyzdvihli. Ug psal z fronty, ze je ranenej, i.e ina nohu prye."

Babieka zadivala se na Svejka soustrastne: "Tamhle, vopaeku, v torn lesejeku poekaji, ja jim yod nas ptinesu bramharku, vona vas zahieje. Je to chalupa, ,na ge vodtud' videt, pra,ve za lesejekem trochu vpravo. Pies tu nak vesnici Vrag nemil gou jit, tarn jsou eetnici jako vostfi gi. Daji se potom z lesejaka na Malcim.

"Nemam, matieko !"

"Tak ani tam nechodeji, jdou radeji na Radomygl, ale hledeji tam pfijit k veeeru, to jsou vgichni eetnici v hospode.

To je intij bratr. 2e ho pozdravuju, a von jim u g ukage, kudy se jde na ty Budejovice."

V lesiku eekal Svejk na babicku pies pun hodiny, a kdyg se zahtal bra,mboro,7 you polevkou, kterou mu pfinesla chudak stara, v hrnci, ovazanem kern, aby nevystydla, vytarla, ze gatku krajic chleba a Ikus gpeku, zastrcila to vg echno gvejkovi do kapes, pokfi govala ho iekla, i.e ma tam dva vnuky.

Nato je gte dilkladne mui opakovala, pies ktere vesnice ma jit, kterYm se ma vyhnout. Nakonec vytahla z kapsate u jupky korunu, aby si koupil v Maleine kotalku na cestu, ponevad g do Radomygle je dlouha mile.

Od Cigove gel 8vejk die rady bableky na Radomygl na. vYchod a pomyslil si, ge se must dostat do tech Budejovic z kagde svetove strany, at' je to jakakoliv.

Z Malelna n.e? s nTm start' haromnikat, ktereho na gel tam g vejk v hospokclyg si kupoval kofalku na tu cllouhou mill k Radomygli.

"Ma, svYho mu ge u g dva mesiee schovanYho v chlive," ptemlouval gvejkso "tak tebe tam taky sehova a vy tarn budete a g do konce yalky. A kdyg tam budete dva, tak yam nebude smutno."

Po zdvotilem odmitnuti 8vejkove yelice se rozeilil a dal se nalevo do poll, vyhroguje 8vejkovi, i.e ho jde udat na eetnietvo do Oigove.

V Radomygli 8vejk nagel k veeeru na Dolej gi ulici za Florankem pantatu Melicharka. Kdy g vyfidil mu, pozdrav od jeho sestry ze Vra ge, nijak to na, pantatu neireinkovalo.

Chtel neustale na Svejkovi papiry.

Byl to nejakY ptedpojaty elovek, ponevad g inluvil neustale neco o raubiiich, syeacich a zlodejich, kterYch se sila potlouka. po ,celem piseckem kraji.

"Uteee to z vojny, slou git to tarn nechce, a tak to chodi po celYm vokoli, a kde mute, tok to krade," durazne fekl Svejkovi do oei, "ka gclej z nich vypada, jako kdyby neumel pet poeitat.

"Tak spanembohem, dedeoku."

"I spanembohem a podru.14 si plijdou na hloupelgiho."

Kdyg gvejk vygel do tmy, pobrueoval si dedek je gte hezkou chvili: "Jde prej do Budejovic k svYmu regimentu. Z Tabora. A to jde, ro gVak, napted do Hera gd'ovie a, pak teprve na Pisek. Dyt' von dela cestu kolem sveta."

8vejk gel °pet hnedle celou noe, nekde u Putime na gel v poli stoh. Odhrabal si slamu a sly gel zcela, blizko sebe hlas: "Vogl kterYho regimentu?

Kam se neseg?"

"Vod 91., do Budejovic."

"Kam bys chodil?"

"Ja, tam mam syS"T ho obrlajtnanta."

Bylo slyget; ge se vedle blizko nesmeje jen jeden, ale tfi. Kdy g se smith utigil, optal se 8vejk, od jakeho regimentu jsou oni. Zjistil, i.e dva jsou od 35. a jed'en i.e je od delostkelectva, takteg z Budejovic.

"To nejde jen tak zlehka," odpovedel g vejk a zabokil se, zalezl hluboko do stohu.

Kdyd se rano probudil, byli iiz vgichni prye a, nekclo mu, patrne dragoun, polodif k noham krajic chleba na cestu.

Svejk eel lesy a u Stekana setkal se s vandrakem, starYrn chlapikern, kterY ho uvital jako stareho kamarada dou g -kemkoralky.

"V tomhle nechod'," poueoval Svejka, "to by se ti vojenska, uniforrna mohla nekdy setsakramentsky vyplatit.

Ted' je vg ude pino eetnikti a Zebrat v tomhle nemildeS. Po nas ov gem dnes eetnici uz nejdou jako' jindy, ted' hledaji jenom vas.

"A kam mad narnefino?" otazal se vandrak po chvili, kdyd si oba zapalili dYmky a pomalu obchazeli vesnici.

"Do Budejovic."

"Prokristapana," leki se vandrk, "tam to sbaleji za minutu. Ani se nevohiejeg . Civil musie mit celej rozflakanej, musi g chodit a cleat ze sebe chromajzla.

Neboj se ale Me ,ted' najdem na Strakonice, Volyri, Dub a to by v torn byl eert, abychom nejakej civil nesehnali.

V oveine nagel Svejk piijemneho dedeeka, ktery pamatoval, jak zas jeho dedeeek vypravoval o francouzskYch vojnach. By). asi o 20 let stark stareho vandraka, a, proto mu ilkal jako 8vejkovi: hochu.

"Talc rviclite hogi," vykladal, kdyd, sedeli kolem pece, ye ktere se va,kily brarnbory na loupaelcu, "tenkrate dedeeek taky dezentYroval jako ten tviij vojak. Ale to mohi je gte miuviti o gtesti.

"Po rnobilizaci, jak nas vodvedli do kasaren," odpovedel 8vejk, pochopuje, ze uniforma staremu oveakovi nemude zklamat dtveru.

"Pielez1 jsi zed'?" zvedave otazal se oveak, maje patrne v pameti, jak vypravoval jeho dedeeek, jak lezl take pies zed' kasaren.

"Jinudy neglo, dedeeku."

"A varta byla silna a stillela?"

"Ano, dedeeku."

"A kam ted' mad namikeno?"

"Ale chyt ho rapl," odpovedel za g'vejka vandrak, "dice rnermomoci do Budejovic. To vi g, elovek mladej, nerozumnej, sam leze do sve zkazy. Ja ho trochu rnusim vzit do Skoly. Nejakej civil splagime a ud to pfdde v poiadku.

"To myslig, otazal se oveak, "de to letos neskonei?" A mad hochu pravdu!

Byly ud dlouhY vojny. Ta napolionska, potorn, jak nam yypravoyavali, gyedskY vojny, sedmiletY vojny. A lidi si ty vojny zasIouzili. Dyt' se panbilh uz na to nemohl divat, jak to vSechno spejchlo.

Voda na brarnborach, valicich se v peci, bublala a stark (weak ,po kratke piestavce dell prorocky: "A von tu vojnu nag pan cisak nevyhraje. To neni dadne nad geni do valky, ponevadd von, jak Mica pan ueitel ze Strakonic, se nedal korunovat. At' si made ted', jak se kika, kornu chce med kolem huby.

Kdyd jsi, lumpe starej, slibil, de se dag korunovat, talc si mel drzet slovo."

"Mtide bejt," zminil se vandrak, "de von to nejak udeld."

A zatimco oveak cedil brambory a nalival do misy kysele ova mleko, de111 se dal vandrak se s yYmi vzpominkanal na eetnicke pravo: "V Lipnici bejval jeden straZmistr dole pod hradem. By7 dlel primo na eetnicke stanici a ja; dobrak stara, porad jsem byl vSucle v ty domnence, Ze eetnicka stanice musi byt piece nekde na vystreenym miste, jako na namesti nebo podobne, a ne nekde v zastreenej uliece. Tak beru ty kraje mesteeka a nedivam se na napisy. Beru to dtim Oct domu, az prijdu v jednom•takovYin baraeku do prvniho poschodi, votevrat dvere a vozna.mim se: `PoniZene prosim, thud' vandrovni.'

Jo, paneeku, nohy mne zcirevenely.

Vona to eetnicka stanice.

To je eetnicky pravo."

Dali se do jidla a sli brzy spat v teple sednici, rozloleni po lavicich.

V noci se Svejk tie oblekl a vy'el yen. Vychdzel mesic na vychode a v jeho probouzejicim se svetle krdeel Svejk na vYchod opakuje si: "To piece neni mo2nY, abych se do tech Budejovic nedostal."

A nOt'astnou nahodou mist° od Protivina na jih na Budejovice , -.:1-vejkovy severe na Pisek. kroky zamerily K polednioni uvidel Svejk tired sebou nejakou vesnici. Sestupuje s maleho navrsi, pomyslil si Svejk: "Takhle dal ua to nejde, zeptam se, kudy se jde do tech Budejovic."

A vchazeje do vesnice, byl velice prekvapen, vida oznaeeni vesnice na sloupu u prvniho domku: Obec Putim.

"Prokristapana," vzdychl Svejk, "tak „jsem zas v Putimi, kilo jsem spat ve '.stolau."

Pak ale u2 nebyi vabec nielm prekva'pen, kdy2 za rybniCkem z mile natPeneho domku, na kterem visela slepice (jak nekcle tikali orlieku), vystoupil eetnik jako pavouk, kcly2 laticia pavueinu.

Cetnikse1 primo k E-p'vejkovi a nerekl. nic vie ne2: "Karnpak.?"

"Do Budejovic k svymu regimentu."

Oetnik se sarkasticky -usmal: "Vy jdete piece od. Budejovic. Mate ty vase Budejovice 112 za sebou," a vtahl Svejka do eetnicke stanice.

PutiniskY CetnickY straZmistr byl byl znam po celern okoli, 2e , jednd yelice taktne a piitom bystre. Nik.dy zac1r2enYm nebo zateenym nena.daval, ale podroboval je takovemu kri2ovemu vYslechu, 2e by se i nevinnY priznal.

Dva eetnici na stanici prizpilsobili se k nemu a kriZovY vYslech konal se y2cly za fismevu celeho Cetnickeho persona-

Ponevad2 napravo, kcly2 sestoupil z Testi, bylo videt nejake mesto, zaboeil Svejk severneji, pak. na jih, kde opet bylo violet nejake mesto: (Byly to Voclriany.) Vyhnul se mu obratne cestou pies luka a ranni slunce uvitalo ho v zasne2enYch stranich nad Protivinem.

"Stale kupredtu" rekl si dobry vojak Svejk, "povinnost void.. Do Budejovic se dostat muslin!'

"Kriminalistika zale2i na chytrosti a vlidnosti," rikal vhly detnickY straknistr sifYin podrizenym, "i'vdt na nekoho, to nema 2aciny yYznam. Na. delikventy a lidi pociezrele musi se jerrine, ale pHtom dbat na to, aby 'se utopili v pHvain otazek."

"Tak vas pekne vitame, vojaku," rekl cetnicky straZinistr, "sednete si pekne, beztoho jste se pa ceste unavil, a vypravujte nam, kam. jdete."

Svejk opakoval, Ze jde do Ceskych Budejovic k svemu pluku.

"Pak jste si ovSem spletl cestu," usmevave rekl stralmistr, "ponevad2 vy jdete od 6eskYch Budejovic k sveniu pluku.

"Pak jste si ovsem spletl cestu," usmevave rekl straZinistr, "ponevaci2 vy jdete od 6eskSrch Buclejovic, o eenrk vas mohu presvedeit. Nall varni visi mapa Cech. Tak se podivejte, vojaku.

Od nas na jih je Protivin. Od Pretivina na je Filuboka a cd iii jiZne jsou Ceske Budejovice. Tak vidite, ze jdete ne do Budejovic, ale z Budejovic."

Stralmistr podival se laskave na 2vejka, kterSr klidne a dlistojne kekl:

"A piece jdu do Budejovic," Bylo to vie neZ Gailleovo: "A .piece se -Wei!" ponevadar ten to mused fret patrne bodne vztekle.

"Vite, vojaku," stale se stejnou vlidnosti naluvil k Svejkovi strazmistr, "ja vane to vymluvim a vy sam nakonec take prijciete k tomu nazoru, Ze kaZde zapirani jen zte2uje priznanir "To mate oupinou pravdu," rekl Svejk, "kaZcle, zapirdni ateZuje priznani a navopak."

"Tak vidite, 2e sam, vojaku, take k tomu prijdete. Ocipovezte inne cobrasrdeene, oclkud jete vykl, kciy2 jste k,1 do teen vaMcb. Budejovic. ftikarn sa/dine, ponevad2 mud 46 patrne jeSte jine Budejovice, ktere le21 nekde severne od Putimi a cloposud nejsou zuneS-eny na Zadne mane."

"VySel jsem z Tabora." `A co jste delal v Tabore?"

"Cekal jsem na vlaik do Budejovic."

"Prot jste nejel vlakem do Budejovic?'

"Ponevad2 jsem newel listek na drahu."

"A pros vain, jako vojakovi, nedali vojensky listek zadarmo?"

"PonevadZ jsem pin sobe nemel 2ddne dokumenty."

"Tady to ,ie," rekl vItezoslavne eetnickY straImistr k jednomu z eetnikti, "neni tak hloupY, jak se dela, zaeiind to pekne zamotavat."

StraZmistr poeal znova, jako by preslechl posledni odpoved' 0 dokumentech: "Vy jste tedy vyel z Tabora. Kam jste tedy "Do aeskYch Budejovic."

VYraz tvare straZinistrovy nabyl trochu prisnosti a jeho zraky padly na mapu.

"Mii.'2ete ndm ukazat na mape, kudy jste Sel do tech Budejovic?"

"Jar si to mista v gechna nepamatuji a jenom na to se pamatuji, ze jsem zde v Putimi byl uz jednou."

CelY personal eetnicke- stanice podival se na sebe patrave a stra2mistr pokraeova.1: "V Tabore jste byl tedy na nacira2i. Mate nem u sebe? Vyndejto to."

All Czech nouns are classified as being either masculine, feminine or neuter. If they end in a hard or neutral consonant, they are classed as masculi-

ne; if they end in "al" they are feminine, and if they end in "o", they are neuter. Therefore the noun "park" is masculine; "lampa" feminine and "okno" neuter.

3. The Demonstrative Adjectives The demonstrative adjective "that" is translated in Czech by TEN, TA, TO. TEN is always used with masculine nouns; TA with feminine and TO with neuter.

Homework 1. Copy the expressions and vocabulary into a notebook and memorize them.

2. Memorize the conjugation of miti "to have."

3. Classify the nouns that are given in the vocabulary as to their gender.

4. Place the correct demonstrative adjective ten, ta, to before each noun in the vocabulary. Example: ten park, ta lampa, to okno.

Get your friends or parents to help you with the pronunciation. Do them together. Clip and save each lesson, and compile them into notebook form, if you desire. Set aside a regular time each week for the study of these lessons. Read the following verse together, and see if you can translate it BABIMA, Alenka a Jirik si hrali s mieem.

Kolem Sla stard babieka. Nahle upadla.

Jirik podal Alence Skoeil a pomahal babioce rm. nohy.

Alenka eekala na, Jiiika. Ptala se: "Kdo to byl? Tva babiaka?"

"Ne!" "Tak teta?"

"Take ne!"

"Nebo znama babieka?"

"Vilbec ne. Byla to cizi ba.bieka."

VESTNIK '

OFFICZAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OE THE STATE OF TEXAS FOUNDED 1891

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

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

— 11ERALD-

Postmaster: Please Send Form 3579 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 100, TEMPLE, TER

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Your editor has been on the move.

First, the District III meeting at Fort Worth, the Organizers' Luncheon in Temple, the District II meeting in Taylor, and last week, the District I Organizers' Appreciation Banquet in Caldwell. One can get acquainted with Texas that way, if he's not careful. It gives one a tremendous insight into the workings of various phases of SPJST activities; each one being just a little different, and employing different means, but all striving for the one common objective: improving our Order and making it grow.

Basically, of course, people ARE pretty much the same all over the state, perhaps all over the world. The various mores and customs and mannerisms are present in one area that do not exist in another, but all have their interesting quaintness.. Everywhere we've travelled so far, the generosity and hospitality is typically Czech-Texan, and that's great. After all, people are basically friendly, honest, polite, and helpful; that is the nature of man. They must simply be given the chance and opportunity to show these qualities. We are enjoying it, and before too many more months pass, we will have seen a good deal more of this Lone Star State. We must confess that there are many places right here in. Texas that we have not yet visited. Your editor has travelled

extensively in foreign lands, including tine Far East and Europe on two different occasions, and could, when his memory didn't frail, rattle of details about these various places. But alas! our knowledge of our own "back yard" has been woefully lacking. We're fixing that — quick like.

• The news of the appeal from District III regarding the establishment of an SPJST Youth Camp is spreading rapidly . among our members in other districts, and as far as we can tell, it is being looked upon with favor. The membership in the other districts will soon be approached and told about it, and the project wil no doubt pick up steam. Our Snpreme Lodge is working on this, in close cooperation with the various district officers.

• Speaking of district meetings, the next one to take place is that of District Five, which will be held at Lodge Pokrck 88, in Houston on April 21st.

Your editor is singing for a wedding in Dallas the evening before, so we will really have to bend all efforts to make it to both places. After District V has their meeting, District VI has their's at the Sweet Home Lodge, folowed by District Seven at Floresville, and District One at Lodge Smetana in Bryan.

District IV holds only one meeting a year, and it comes in the fall.

We have tried to publicize these dis. trict meetings as much as possible. If you note the "SPJST Bulletin Board" and "Ozna.meni Radu, Schuze" in the Czech section, you will see that we have carried these announcements several weeks in advance, and carried them continuously until they took place. The two districts that have had their meetings thus far have had excellent attendance, but of course, more members could be present. The length of each district meeting will vary and is in proportion to the amount of business that is to be taken up. One thing is for certain, however: the shorter and more efficiently-run meetings seem to be the most popular variety. There is perhaps a tendency toward repetition and "long-windedness," and this tends to be tiring, and the speaker loses his (her) audience.

It was either Yale or Harvard University that concluded some time back, after years of study and research, that the average speaker starts to lose his audience after the first three or four minutes, and after about six or seven loses them completely. It takes a professional with some real "hot" presentation to capture and hold an audience beyond ten. Bishop Sheen is one of those. There are others.

Not only does this apply to District meetings, but especially to our local lodge meetings. Length of a meeting alone is not so bad, IF there is something HAPPENING or TAKING PLACE, of a constructive nature, at all times.

A meeting that is long, drawn out, AND poorly conducted is the type that convinces members they should stay home and watch television. In our opinion, this matter of lengthy, poorly-conducted lodge meetings is the PRIMARY reason for inactivity in a lodge, all other factors being equal.

There are lodges that are large, not so large, active and inactive. Pay a visit to one of these active lodges and see if an efficiently-run meeting is not one

14 of tne main reasons people support and frequent their lodge activities.

Copy their methods, and where possible, put them into practice in your own lodge.

• • Finally, a word, about "democratic procedure." Too much democracy is as bad, as none at all. Too much democracy results in lethargy, apathy, or nothing being accomplished at all.

Too much of it can bog you down to an absolute impasse or stalemate..

Leadership requires that you LEAD, not drag your membership; that you lead by effective PERSUASION, not by ineffective pushing. In an absolute democracy, everyone does as he pleases all of the time. That won't work — not in our society nor in our fraternal Order. Think it over. )0 ) DR. TABORSKY'S SUMMER TOUR ITINERARY GIVEN Dr. Ivan Taborsky of the Department of History and Sociology at Arlington State College, will conduct a unique tour of Europe and the Bible Lands this summer, organized as a cultural project on a non-profit basis.

The 38-day all-expense tour, which extends from July 18 to August 24, is priced at $1,225 from New York.

Dr. Taborsky has traveled extensively in 51. countries and has conducted previous tours through both Europe and the Middle East. The itinerary will include London, Frankfurt (with a bus ride along the Rhine) Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Luxembourg, Heidelberg, Rothenburg, Munich, Salzburg, Zurich, Liechtenstein, Athens, Cairo, Karnak, Beirut, Baalbel, and Damascus, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Tel Aviv, Nazareth, Haifa, Istanbul, Rome and Frankfurt.

--- )0 ) • TWIST UN-CZECHED Prague — The official news agency CTK says "Twist" tunes form the majority of current dance-music recordings in this communist country. Leading the hit parade is "Crocodile Twist," which asserts "it's no longer dangerous swimming in the River Nile because the crocodiles are all too busy learning the `Twist'." )O) On the island of Malta, a quaint custom is practiced at sunrise on Easter Day. A group of men carry a statue of the Saviour from their church to a hilltop of the neighborhood, not in slow and solemn procession, but running uphill as fast as they can, to indicate the motion of rising.

18 helped in any way to make the pain easier.

By now, you have probably heard about by broken ankle. I'd better tell how it really happened. As you know, we are farming and I help out all I can with all the chores. On March 22, about 9:30 a.m., I was rolling maize. I had already finished and gotten off the tractor to walk, after telling my husband I was going home. When I got off the tractor I started walking and made about four steps. There was a low place and as L was walking, my foot suddenly gave away and down I went. I got up and I thought I had just turned my ankle. I had fallen back on the same foot and that's how it got broken. It was so easily done! It was impossible to believe! So, everycue walking, watch your step, because this accident put me in the hospital for five days, and the doctor said must have my ankle in a cast for 10 to 12 weeks. That's a long time to take it easy when a person like me loves to work.

I sum did enjoy all the cheerful getwell cards I recived and the many friends that come to visit me. It makes the time fly by fast. I'm doing real well now on crutches, and the ankle doesn't hurt anymore.

My deepest sympathy to Sister Frankye Mikeska and her family, %.t the passing of her mother a short time a eo.

While Fin writing, I would like to extend my congratulations to our lodge duchess and princess and theh escorts.

They are: Princess Bernadette Kocurek and her escort, Jimmy Nemec; Duchess Shirley Nemec, and Billy Wayne Kral; aloe to our three girls v,110 won the point system contest in our Lodge. They are: Rose Marie Marek. first place; Charlene Volcik, secand Kathy Marek, thhd place.

Fraternally, Lillian Hamusek ) 0( SOKOL HOUSTON

Dear Members and Friends: Last month, the Central YMCA was host to the Gulf Coast AAU meet at Houston, and we are most happy to report that Sokol Houston was represented by three of our gymnasts, namely: Gerald Bily, Joe Reed, and Helmut Moll. These young men have been participating with us only a few months and already they are showing up in splendid form. Sidney Soukup, a Sokol Houston member and instructor, was one of the judges in the novice class, and he stated that the competition was very keen due to the entrance of many experienced gymnasts from as far away as Alabama and Mississippi. There were over 209 entrants in the novice class and represented most .of the Gulf Coast States.

On Easter Sunday, April 14th at Joe Reed were not fortunate enough to place in the to three places, but they were rated highly and this was their lfirst entrance in competitive gyrrn. nastics. However, Helmut Moll, an entrant in the junior and senior division, did place second in Senior All-Around, second in Junior Side Horse and third in Senior Side Horse. We are proud of our Sokol gymnasts and are looking forward to great things from them in the future.

On Easter Sunda y, Apri 1 14th at

Wednesday, April 10, 1963' 4 p.m. SoRol Houston will have its annual Easter Egg Hunt for the kiddies, and this year a real live Easter bunny will be given to the child finding the most eggs; second prize will be a live Easter chicken and a booby prize for the child finding the least eggs.

We invite all ta come out and enjoy Easter Sunday with us. Cakes, kolaches, pastry and other refreshments will be served and we still serve that farnOus nickel-a-cup coffee. After the Easter egg hunt the public can dance and enjoy the companionship of our members and friends.

Another date for you to remember is Saturday, April 26th, the date of our Springtime Dance. This is a kick-off dance starting our entertainment for the Spring and Summer season and is building up to a gala affair. Music will be furnished by the popular Lad Pavelka Orchestra from Houston; dance starting at 9 p.m. and lasting to 1 a.m.

Tables and set-ups will be available.

See our ad in this paper in the next issue.

Soon the weather will be warm and an indication that barbecue time is back again. In May and every month thereafter a barbecue is being planned, and a Sokol gymnastic program and a Circus Carnival for the late summer and early autumn is also being discussed. A Western Dance is in the planning stage and we hope to give you a program of varied entertainment this year.

INCOME TAX U.S.A.

By Frank A. Dolezal (The following is presented as a public service, and was sent to us by Brother Frank A. Dolezal, of Lodge 88, Houston. It may help those who have waited until the last few days to file their income tax. —Ed.) Income tax m the U.S.A. was first attempted in 1815 to pay for the War of 1812. An effective income tax was in force between 1863 and 1873. In 1894 Congress again passed an income tax law, but the Supreme Court of the U.S. ruled it unconstitutional.

Then the Constitution was amended by the 16th amendment, which gave Congress the right to levy an income tax in 1913. An income tax was passed the same year, and provided a 1 per cent tax on incomes (up to $20,000 and

a stir tax on excess amounts.

This is a far cry from our present tax rates which are enough to make us cry at times. And believe you me, if it were not for the pay-as-you-go plan many individuals would find it impossible to pay their taxes. By the way, this neat little feature was passed in 1943 while our G.I. Joes were fighting to keep this country safe.

Income tax laws were changed 15 times from 1913 to 1941. Since then some changes have been made every year. Our income is called progressive taxation. And Oh! brother, progress it has — from its original 1 per cent to the present 20 per cent on low incomes to 91 per cent on incomes over $300,000. The progression is on the move again. Ironic as it may seem

Wednesday, April 10, 1963

WESLEY WERNER I am Wesley Werner, son of Mr, and Mrs. Victor Werner, of Lodge 81, Needville. I am in the 7th grade at Lamar Consolidated, Rosenberg. My favorite subject is math, in which I have a .straight A average. My hobbies are fishing, track, and farming. I am 12 years old. the supposedly new tax cut in its final analysis will increase taxes for all persons who itemize their deductions. ;Space does not permit an explanation of the devastation that will befall the individual who attempts to -itemize under the new proposed tax law.

With due res p ect to the gentleman who said he liked to pay income tax, we would like to quote Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court: "The citizen is not primarily a tax-producing entity, but 'an individual who should so arrange his affairs that he and his family may derive the maximum benefit from his labors."

Now since you have a very brief history of our past and proposed tax laws, let's see what we can do with the current refugee from the aspirin - bottle, your 1040.

First read all the instructions. But of course this is not enough; one must understand it. This is not always so simple, because what was a good deduction one year may not be the next.

As a side light an income -tax debt is the only honest de,bt for which a per,

Wednesday, April 10, 1963 son may be incarcerated. So now that we know where we stand or sit, let's take another look at Mr. 1040. Ah heck, you say, who wants to look at that mountain of misery; let's just fill in the card and let them, bill us.

Buck up, Mr. Tax Payer, remember faint heart never won a fair lady, that is, a rebate on your tax return. After all, you do have three choices this year.

First you can leave it to apply on your next year's taxes, second you can take it out in U.S. Bonds, third, if you can be so brash, ask Ole Uncle for the cash.

What was that you said? "The power to tax is the power to destroy, and you feel devastated before this progressive 1040 assault." Take heart from the ole wounded warrior's words! "Now I lay me down to bleed a while then rise and fight again." So don't give up yet; you may still get a clue to some cash.

First on items of income be sure not to over-pay your taxes by reporting money received from a division of an estate. This is a common error due to nais-interpretation of income from an estate (reportable) and division of an estate.

Furthermore, if you have a trust account for your children in the Company Credit Union or elsewhere, the interest is not income to you, and nonreportable by your children unless their income is in excess of $600.

Normal deductions, such as church donations, interest, taxes, medical and casualty, most people have struggled th rough( Now did you know that expenses in Scout, Little. League, Brownies, and Den Mother wark are all deductible.

Also, most adult volunteer work such as Red Cross, Civil Defense and Church and Civic Auxiliary charitable organizations are deductible in expenditures but not time. Car expense being one of the big items on this work.

Many people overlook interest payments on revolving charge accounts, or interest payments when not stated separately.

Medical deductions also covers medical transportation or air conditioners recommended by a doctor. A portion of some people's Liability Insurance is deductible.

Don't. let the last section of "Other Deductions" fool you because it has been cut down to such a few lines.

There are quite a few deductions for professional people and skilled workers in this section; a few being equipment, trade magazines, special clothes

V k. S N

and their upkeep. Also cost of the preparation of your tax return, employment fees and casualty losses, along with many special deductions.

They say Income tax is what we pay for being a civilized nation but excessive taxation is what a person pays when he is uninformed or disinterested in his nation's tax structure.

Since taxes are the life-blood of our government, we don't mind supporting our government's necessary expenses.

It is sure good to live in a country where you still have the right to protest if you, feel you have been wronged. )0 )

the rate of one ounce to one gallon of water and sprayed on weeds. This should be done on a calm day, preferably one that will bring heat hours later. The reason this should be done on a calm day is that even a very small amount of the mixture could drift over on valuable plants and destroy them. So select a calm day that promises to get hot and start your spraying of unwanted weeds. 2-4-D is not harmful to pets or children; it will not stain your clothing nor irritate your skin. It will destroy such weeds as cockle burr, bindweeds, thistles, dandelions, morning glory; wild onion, garlic, and most broadleaf weeds too numerous to mention; and while it does this it will not harm your lawn grass such as Bermuda or San Augustine.

2-4-13 today is available in many forms, ready-mixed. One of the most popular forms is the drag, made of beeswax, which is easy to drag over your lawn, killing all the undesirable weeds and not harming your lawn grass. This type is also the easiest to use since the wind cannot plow it onto your desirable plants. Another type is mixed and canned with a long stick attached, which has a valve built in, and is used mostly for spot-killing of weeks on your lawn or garden. As you press the valve against a plant it releases a quantity of the weedicide on the weeds and destroys them. So much for selective weedicides.

Now we will take a total type of weedkiller, of which the basic ingredient is usually ARSENIC, and is used when you want to kill everything such as weeds, grasses in your driveway, walks, under fences and such places. This type of weedicide is poisonous to pets and people and should be used with extreme care. This type will also sterilize your soil for one season, so use it only in places where you don't expect anything to grow for at least a year.

To kill Johnson grass, the best results are obtained by mixing a chemi ;cal which is sold in most supply stores under the name of ORTHO 56. This is mixed with either kerosene or diesel oil at the rate of 1 gallon to 100 gallons of the oil and can either be sprayed on or flowed on by.gravity. Spraying is used, when your Johnson grass is solid, and gravity is used when it is spotted and under trees to safeguard your trees. Dowpon is another such chemical used in Johnson gross eradicaation; both should be used with care and both are available at low cost.

Mix this in any container large enough for the area you want clear of weeds, at the rate of one ounce per gallon. This can be applied with a sprayer, preferably one that sprays a flat spray. Thoroughly wet all leaves, using extreme care not to let any of the spray get on vegetables flowers or shrubbery. Never use such a spray for anything but weedicides, because once you use 2-4-D in a sprayer it cannot be washed out of it. It is better to use a cheap plastic sprinkler that can be attached to a glass jug and is available in nearly every garden department at a very low cost. Choose a time when no rain is in prospect for at least 5 or six hours. Care should be used in keeping it away from desirable plants.

To destroy poison oak and poison ivy and many woody types of brush, DuPont's 'Ammate, and Atlascide can be used economically, and both are very effective. Let me , caution you to NEVER burn poison ivy or poison oak after it has been killed by these chemicals, because it gives off a very poisonous gas which, if inhaled, can be fatal.

Nut grass, about the most dreaded pest we have with us can also be destroyed by a chemical called Amino Triozole, but the process under which it s used for, nut grass is rather expensive for large scale use; it also sterilizes the soil for quite some time.

So much for weed killers. Next week: Watering.

Yards and Gardens

By Otto Hanus

Bacon in his Essay on Gardens says: "God Almighty first planted a garden.

And, indeed it, is the purest of human pleasures. It is the greatest refreshment to the spirits of man; without which buildings and palaces are but gross handiwork; and a man shall ever see that when ages grow to civility and elegancy, men come to build stately gardens sooner than to garden finely: as if gardening were the greatest perfection."

"A garden is a lonesome thing, God wot!

Nay, but I have a sign; 'Tis very sure God walks in mine."

When grandmother was a girl, about the only way she could get rid of weeds in the garden or lawn was to chop them out with a hoe. Today, thanks to chemistry, this Can •be done the easy way by using modern weedicides which are available for every practical purpose to control unwanted weeds in gardens, fields and lawns, and at very low cost.

The most common used weedicide used today is 2-4-D which is mixed at

For Your Information: 15 WILD TURKEYS STOCKED NEAR HUNTSVILLE On January 26, Biologist Dave Austin and Pilot Forrest Neujahr, of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, flew into Huntsville with 16 adult Eastern Wild Turkeys. The birds then were taken by Texas Game and Fish Commission biologists Bill Wright and Bill Hudgins to an area about 12 miles north of Huntsville and released.

One of the 13 hens died before release and one of the three gobblers had grown very weak. The remaining turkeys flew into the tall pines im-

mediately and appeared to be making themselves at home when last Seen.

Given two or three successful breeding seasons, this seed stock could develop into a huntable population of wild turkeys for the northern part of Walker County, according to Ernest Marsh, wildlife supervisor, Region IV. Regulations governing wild turkey transplanting require that a large tract of land in a single block, sufficient and suitable for turkeys, be brought under agreements to protect the turkeys from hunting for five years. Several sportsmen and landowners in Huntsville have worked very hard to get the release area under these agreements.

Numerous transplants of the Rio Grande turkey in eastern Texas in the past had limited success for a year or two after release, then gradually disappeared. Such experiences caused biologists to recommend only wildtrapped, adult Eastern Turkeys for stocking in East Texas. The birds for the Huntsville transplant were trapped from the Fisheating Creek Refuge, just west of Lake Okeechobee in south central Florida.

VE.STNJIC Nor will they entrust diapers to the evils of automatic washing. Instead they are stuffed in an old-fashioned pot and boiled atop the stove until hard, stiff, scratchy, and guaranteed to put a rash on baby's bottom.

Even women who own washing machines use them sparingly to save electricity. The husband's shirts go into the bubbling pot too and are turned with a wooden soup spoon.

For The Housewife AUSTRIAN IIAUSFRAU LEERY OF GADGETS Austrian housewives are buying modern gadgets, but they mourn for the washboard and cold water kitchen.

Housewives buy washing machines and refrigerators to keep up with the Schmidts, then leave them unused to be admired.

One woman, for example, asked her butcher on Friday if a "Schnitzel" would keep till Sunday night.

"Of course it will, just put in in your refrigerator." "Oh I can't do that," the woman said firmly. "I've shut it off for the winter. Just give me a pair of frankfurters."

In Vienna's only laundromat, the sight of women leaving the place in hysterics, because they don't understand the intricacies of washing machines, is. commonplace.

Some go berserk whenever the green light, flashes between pre-wash and wash periods, running for advice to the one over-worked employee.

The laundromat generally is jammed early in the month when women still have then household money and are eager to do four weeks laundry at once. When the overloaded machine goes on the blink, they are incredulous and incensed..

Housewives ignore the driers, taking the:wet wash home because they "won't vTear anything that hasn't been sundried." This year they must have used sun-lames. The wasn't much of the original source.

Those who do use driers have discovered that two of them run twice as long as the rest for the same 20 cents.

The thrifty housewives would rather have delicate hankies scorched than let another customer get more for his money.

USES FOR SPREAD This novel sardine recipe is ideal as a sandwich, spread, party dip or main meal appetizer. Mix 4 ounces of cream cheese with liberal amount of lemon juice until you have consistency of a cream sauce. Add 1 teaspoon grated onion. Drain olive oil from a can of sardines and mash the sardines. Add sardines, a few capers, black pepper and a dash of paprika and salt to the sauce. Blend thoroughly and serve.

WISE MEAT BUYING If one has decided that the food budget must be cut, let meat be the helper.

There are numerous thrifty cuts of meat that have the same kind of good flavor and nutrition as the more expensive cuts, the American Meat Institute reports. In beef, there are chuck steaks, brisket, ox joints, stew meat, short ribs, , pot roast and ground beef.

In pork, one will find that sausage meat, smoked picnics, pork hocks, shoulder steaks and roasts, and endcut loin roasts and chops are possible on budget menus.

Shoulder roasts from lamb and veal, as well as stew meat, are some of the low-priced cuts from these young an imals.

Ever wonder about the digestibility of pork the rich, full-flavored meat that offers, appetite satisfaction second to no food? Pork is 96 to 98 per cent digestible, a quality it shares with all other meats, reports the American Meat Institute. It has a high satiety value, which means that it gives that o'stick-toi-the-ribs" feeling. TOday's pork has 57 per cent less fat and 36 per cent fewer calories than pork available as recently as eight years ago.

About the palatibifity of fresh pork, ask anyone who ever put a fork to a slice of thoroughly cooked, crisp-edged, juicy roast pork, and the reply will be enthusiastic. The aroma as well as the appearance of well-cooked pork act as a stimulant to the digestive juices and

Wednesday, April 10, 1963 its full flavor assures pleasurable eating.

Canned meats are a treat because they're easy to prepare; to the family, because they're so tasty. All one needs is a little imagination, a can opener and a supply of versatile meat-in-aca n.

The next time cue shops for food, glance at the canned meat section and notice the dozens of products available. Each can of meat has proteins, vitamins and minerals that parallel meat cooked at home, reports the American Meat Institute. For convenience, the label on the can describes its contents and approximate number of servings.

Three popular canned meats are deviled ham, chili and luncheon meat.

The small can of deviled ham holds a delicious meat blend of finely ground ham and spices. That hearty chili mixture is a spicy stew of chopped meat with a zippy tomato sauce, packed with or without beans. While some canned luncheon meat is all beef or ham, usually the meat is chopped pork shoulder with perhaps some beef, veal cr ham.

How many ways can one fix a beef pot roast? Actually, no two pot roasts need taste the same, even though the preparation is identical. Use the familiar braising method for cooking the meat, but take advantage of the variety of beef cuts, seasonings and braising liquids that can be used.

Beef cuts for pot roasting recommended by the American Meat Institute include the arm or blade bone cut from the chuck or shoulder, rolled rump, English or Boston-cut pot roast and heel or round. Cross cut beef shanks and short ribs are good for the small family.

Seasonings may be as little as salt and pepper, or one or two of the following may be added: sliced onion, minced garlic, whole bay leaf, sliced carrots, celery leaves, chopped green pepper, a sprig or two of parsley, spices and herbs (savory, thyme, curry, chili powder, mustard, marjoram, basil, sage are a few).

Water, bo:uillion, consomme, tomato juice, canned tomatoes, pineapple juice, apple cider or dry wine may be used as the braising liquid. )0C The first true coinage was established during the reign of Byges in Lydia in about 690 B.C., according to the American Bankers Association.

TEXAS PARKS REQUIRE. MILLIONS OF $$$$ College researchers told lawmakers recently Texas should start immediately to build a first class park system which; would cost $37,300,000 for more land.

Members of the Texas Tech horticulture, department gave visiting legislators the result of a comprehensive 2year study of the state's ailing park system.

About 25 members of the influential Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate, House Speaker Byron Tunnell and Lt. Gov. Preston Smith came , to Lubbock to hear the recommendations.

Between now and the year 2000, the study said, Texas should acquire 373,000 acres of land to supplement the present 62,000 acres in the system.

Of the total 435,000 acres projected for the system, 100,000 would be a scenic and historical park and the remainder in recreational areas.

About 67,000 acres of the recreational parks would be for "intensive use" such' as picnicking , camping and boating.

The Tech study said by 2000, 75 million people a year would be using the parks and will spend $250,000,000 a year — or between $3 and $8 per visitor.

In addition to the $37,300,000 recommended for the purchase of the park land over the next 37 years, development costs would be another $268,000,000, the study said.

Operation and maintenance costs under the plan would begin at $6,000,000 a year next year and rise to $17,000,000 annually after 20 years.

The study indicated Texas is currently losing about $100,000,000 a year because of the dilapidated conditions of Texas parks. The loss comes primarily from lost spending by visitors, lowered real estate values around the parks and less construction in park areas.

The study recommended that recreational parks be put near two metropolitan areas around the state and be located between 25 and 80 miles from the heart of the city, bat none inside the city.

Currently, the report said 67 per cent of Texas citizens live in metropolitan areas. By 2000 the figure will zoom to 87 per cent, the report said.

VESTNIIC Last year, the Park Board was given $538,175 and has $1,200,00• appropriated for 1963. The House appropriation bill passed recently would up the appropriations next year to $1,700,000 and $1,800,000 in 1965.

Gov. John Connally, who received tentative results of the study last January, told the Legislature that he endorses the Tech study.

He also proposed consolidation of the Park Board and State Game and Fish Commission under a 3-member commission. A bill consolidating the two agencies already has passed the House and is ready for Senate debate.

(This bill has now passed in both Houses, and has been signed into law by the Governor. — Ed.) ) 0( SENSIBLE. CREDIT' BUYING Does the word "debt" frighten you?

Does the expression, "buy on credit," bring up in your mind a picture of mean installment collectors hounding you at all hours of the day and night?

Actually, sensible personal debt shouldn't trouble you at all for it is as American as apple pie. Latest figures show that consumer credit has now pushed above $60,000,000,000, up nearly 1,000 per cent since the end of World War II. And our learned economists are not the least bit worried that the level is too high!

On the contrary, these same economists agree that credit buying has enabled the American family to attain the greatest standard of living the world has ever known. Daniel Webster anticipated this a century ago when he said: "Credit has done a thousand times more to enrich mankind than all the gold mines in the world."

We are a nation of homeowners today because we buy on credit through the device of the mortgage. The American workingman is the envy of his counterparts in other countries because of his automobile — his financed automobile.

All classes of Americans enjoy such labor-saving devices as washing machines and dish washers, such cornfort-bringers as television sets and air conditioners. Credit-buying has been in large part responsible. in addition to allowing purchases before a large sum of money is saved, it has made possible mass buying, which in turn has brought on mass production and lower prices.

Today, economists warn us not to feel that personal debt of this kind is a form of evil. They say that worries

27 about personal debt, should they become too widespread, could have a harmful effect on our nation. They explain that our economy is an expanding one. Durable goods, which make up the bulk of the credit purdmses, must be constantly produced and bought lest our major plants close up and thousands be thrown out of work. In a very real sense, then, it's American to be in debt to the installment collector and the bank.

However, this does not mean you should throw caution out the window.

Credit buying calls for care, since trouble may be lurking behind every installment contract you sign.

Here are some hints: 1. Follow sound down-payment-replacement rules: new car, one third down, pay in 24 months; old car, 40 per cent down, pay in 15 Months; appliances, 10 per cent down, pay in 24 months; furniture, 20 per cent down„ pay in 18 months. You are looking for trouble if you go beyond these maximums.

2. Don't be fooled on the cost lest you find yourself saddled with an overpowering load. insist that all charges be translated into dollars, and be clearly itemized and totaled in the contract.

3. Shop around for the best deal. All offerings are not the same.

4. Check all the security devices with which the ,company will try to protect itself against possible default. Tnese may include a repossession clause, deficiency judgement, promissory note, wage assignments, etc. Read all documents carefully, and give a double check to anything in fine print. When something puzzles you, seek expert advice from an attorney or from the local Better Business Bureau office.

5. Take advantage of credit insurance. This will ease your mind from the worry that your family will be unduly burdened should you die while payments still have to be made. Under this type of insurance, you add a small. payment to the purchase price for an insurance policy on your life.This remains in force for the duration of your credit payments, and reduces in size as the unpaid balance becomes progressively smaller.

6. Be sure to keep your credit standing first-rate. Don't think you can violate a credit arrangement at one store and get credit elsewhere. Most stores belong to central credit bureaus. If you can't make a payment, discuss your problem with the credit manager openly and frankly. Avoid getting the

Wednesday, April 10, 1963

28 reputation of being a bad credit risk; that's the easy way to close all credit doors to you.

7. Most important, don't overextend yourself. Don't think that just because you d:e in't have to pay cash now you needn't keep an eye on your budget. There's a great temptation to buy things without concern as to how, they will be paid for. Avoid that. And appraise your potentials with accuracy so you won't be trapped if that expected raise in salary doesn't happen to come through. ) 0( TORNADO SEASON

Texas will meet the 1963 tornado season with one of the world's most complete storm warning systems, and with a well-oiled public health relief organization.

Radar storm warning sets are in operation in 15 of the state's 18 firstorder weather bureaus. All state highway patrolmen have been carefully schooled in the wily ways of the weather and are keeping a sharp eye on the sky as they patrol their sectors.

Of the first-order weather stations which cover all sections of Texas, only El Paso, Laredo and Del Rio do not have radar storm warning sets as part 'of their regular equipment inventory.

All stations are connected by teletype and radio. Any station is able to instantly appraise all other stations of a tornado traveling in their direction. When such a storm warning is given, the weather bureau in its line of approach immediately notifies all communities in the area via commercial radio and television station bulletins.

The radar sets are owned by the Weather Bureau, have been supplied from U. S. Government surplus stocks, but the cities concerned paid installation costs.

Louisiana and Oklahon.la are cooperating in the SouthweAt warning network by operating networks of their own. The Texas network is larger, however, by virtue of the area to be covered.

State Health, Commissioner Dr. J. E. Peavy says the State Department of Health and local health departments stand ready at all times to provide public health, know-how to stem health threats occasioned by weather.

Meanwhile, these precautions are still valid if and when a tornado is sighted: Cut off gas and water before it strikes. Open windows on the north and east side of the house. If possible, take shelter in a storm cellar or cave.

A match struck in Times Square at night would scarcely be noticed. The same match, shining in the middle of a dark corn field would rouse the Volunteers. The visual principle in these two comparisons is simply this: The Time Square match blends with its environment. The corn field match contrasts with its environment. One is almost impossible to see. The other is impossible to miss. )O)

It is hard or an empty sack to stand upright.
