ANTONSIN DVORAK, t'ESKt. SKLADATEL A. Dvorak se narodil 8. zari 1851 v Nelahozevsi u Kralup. Rodina, z Dvorak vykl, neodchovala pied nim ani jedineho hudebnika, ano zptisob Zivnosti jeji stal vknin jinemu ne2 umeni.

Poeet dele DvorakovYch jest tak obsahlY, lze omeziti se v teto nyaze pouze na dila nej yYznanmejai. Jsou to z orchestrovYch del symfonie (z Es 1874, F 1875, D 1881, d 1885 a g 1889), ouvertury k 8amberkovu "Tylu" (1881), Dusitska (1883) a 3 progranmi (PH roda, Zivot, Laska, 1892), 3 slovanske rhapsodic (1787), Slovanske tance (dye serie po 8 eislech, pavodne pro klavir, tern 24), Scherzo capricioso (1883), Not turno, 2 serenady ((smyecova, 1875 a turno, 2 serenady (smyxcova, 1875 a dechova 1878,) suita (1879), koncerty houslovy (1879) a klavirni (1876), 8 legend Jpilv. pro klavir, 1880) atd.; z komornich houslovo, sonata (1880), tria (z B, d, f a g), kvarteta (klavirni z D, symecove z A, a d, Es a C). kvinteta (klavirni 1873, smyecove z G 1875 a A1878), Maliekosti (1878), Dumky (1891) a j .; z vokalnich praci opery Kral a uhlif (dvakrate kompon, 1871), Tvrpalice (1874), Vanda 1875), Selma sedlak (1877,) Dimitrij (1882), Jakobin (1888), dramaticke kantaty Hymnus (1873) a Svatebni kOSile (1884), oratoria Stabat Mater (1876) a Svate Ludmila (1886), Mk (1888), Requiem (1890); ze skladeb kla,virnich vedle legend a tancn furianty, valeiky, dumky, Ze Sumavy ,(1883) a j.: eetne pisne: 6 z Rukopisu kralodv., Ciganske melodies Veeerni pisn,e, Mora yske dvojzpevy (1878) a j., sbory muZske a smi;acne a. capella atd.

Ve vSem tvoreni Dvorakove lze pozorovati tri od sebe ostre se lisici doby: a) dobu prupravnou, kde Dvorak vykonav dtikladna: studia formova na vzorech klassickYch, snatil se ye vlastni tvorbe je napodobiti, anit vaak sloh jeho mel je ge vlastni, samostatny raz; b) dobtt, kvasu a poblouzeni, kde Dvorak ovladaje jit techniku komPosieni pinou merou, dal se svesti smerem novoromantickYm k vYlevilm oezuzcine fantasie, a c) dobu samostatne tvorby, dobu ryziho, prnzraeneho slohu, v nit, vybouriv se a doznav sklamani fantastickYmi pracemi doby ptedchozi, vytvoril velkolepa dila, na vS"ein sverazna. Z prvYch dvou dob velmi mak) skladeb se zachovalo, a Dvorak pozdeji bez rnilosti je nieil; do doby druhe nalezi privodni spracovani Krale a uhlire, jet nezdaru studia opery spalil. Ve treti dobe tvorby jest Dvorak horlivYm stoupencern smeru klassic'keho; forma jest mu svata a fikolem skladatelovYm po jeho najzoru jest, zcledene formy naplriovati vkly novSim obsahem. Jevi se tu 13S7t1 Dvorak P ra-

VESTNtIC vYm opakem SmetanovYm, jen2 v torn ohlede byl novoromantikena, ride se zasadou, Ze forma vznika pod rukou skladatelovou, dana jsouc sama sebou skladateli jeho fantasii. Dvorak ani tehdat, kdy v instrumentalni sklaclbe pracuje na podklade programnim, neopou gti v nieem klassickou foram, jak nasvedeuji preclem 3 ouvertury z posledni doby.

Nebudit tim vS,a,k vyznamu Dvorakovu nijak ubirano , ceny; vtdyt' Palestrina, Bach, Haenclel, Mozart, Beethoven a j. nesmrtelneho ziskali sone jmena, ac nesnatili se vytvoriti formy nove, nYbrZ pracovali skoro vyhradne na zdokonaleni forem od predchadctiv P rija -tYch.VznamDvorkip jumeni a tejZiSte jeho tvorby leli ye skiad be instrumentalni, v prve fade orchestrove.

Opera nebyla nikdy vlastni pijdou Dvorakovou: jit naklonnost Dvorakova, ke starai forme opery, Ustupky, je‘Z ni nejednou strance eiste hudebni na rikor dramatienosti, okolnost, Ze Dvorak nedovede jako kdysi Gluck tak se zapriti ,aby "zapornnel, to jest budebnikem" a t. p., vge to nedovoluje nam hledati predni vyznam Dvorak-a y ye tvorbe dramaticke. NejvYSe stavi se dle obecneho south,' z oper DvorakovYch Di mitrij; nejvetaiho v3°Tznarriu vS'ak pro vYvoj narodni zpevohry Ceske bez odporu jest Selma sedlak, ae libretto jeji, jakaLi mnehycla jinYch, bude vZdy prekaZkou jejiho rozAireni.

Jeden, jedna, jedno; (Iva, dve; etyri (for all 3 genders) stand for ad: jectives agreeing in gender, number, and case with the noun they qualify.

Dva and dve have an old dual number inflection: dvou, dvema (like rukou and rukan a); oba and' obe; obou obema„

used with the plural: jedny housle, jedna kamna.

• In the nominative case, t . e nouns and adjectives are in the genitive plural after these numbers: pet velkYch damn. piijdu v Sest ,hadin (Instrumental) : s nal velkYmi domy (Locative): o Sesti hodinach (gen pl.) je zcie .pet lidi. bylo tam dvacet jich bylo?

Indefinite Numerals Mnoho, tolik, nekolik, are all indefinite numerals. Approximate number is expressed by the words asi, skoro, or na: bylo Lam na padesdt lidi.

Maio (little, few) is invariable in adjective use: piSu si s nekolika malo prateli.

In the last of a series of three articles on the subject, we conclude this week our commentary on Attorney General Waggoner Carr's program to curb juvenile delinquency in the State of Texas.

At last report, a thousand young Texans met Saturday, August 17th, at the state capitol to see what they could do to help solve problems of school dropouts, unemployment, and juvenile delinquency. Among other speakers, there was the appearance of Elliott M. See, Jr., Dallas-born astronaut, who addressed the group. See is a civilian, and one of the new group of astronauts being trained by the NASA at Houston. e • This conference, called by Attorney General Carr, as stated before; stressed school dropouts, employment, law enforcement, public awareness, and good use of spare time. Mr. Bernard Suttler, from Washington, -D.C., a top man in the Federal Bureau of 'Investigation, urged the gathered group of teenagers: "When you return to your 'communities, not only try to prevent your Ifrionds from dropping Out of school but also contact friends who have already dropped out and try to get them to return to school."

The various obstacles facing young people who drop out of school prematurely, in an age when higher education becomes increasingly important, were pointed out by all the speakers at the conclave. Religious and SOUND FAMILY LIFE were cited as foundations which youth needs. To this we add: a good wholesome association with their peers, like the kind found he our SPJST Youth Clubs.

Mr. Suttler quoted J. Edgar Hoover as comparing a young person without at least a high school education as "crippled." Suttler noted a steady

THE EDITOR'S DESK THE LITTLE ACORN

'I pluck an acron and hold it to my ear; and this is what it says to ine: "By and by the birds will come and nest in me. By and by I will furnish shade for the cattle. By and by I will provide warmth for the home. By and

by I will be sthelter from the storm to those who have gone under the roof.

By and by I will be the strong ribs of a great vessel, and the tempest will beat against me in vain, while I carry men across the great sea."

"Oh, foolish little acron, wilt thou be all this?" I ask.

And the acorn answered. "Yes, God and I." —Lyman. Abbott crease in crime, particularly among teenagers. In the past 6 years, crime committed by people under 18 years old have increased three times the population growth. Attorney General Carr added that "crime in Texas has reached frightening proportions." He warned against the dangers of complacency in prosperity. Past civilizations, Roman included, have been destroyed from within by disrespect, of law. Col. Homer Garrison called on "decent young people" to take the lead in setting proper standards. He stated that the young people often know sooner than the adults when one of their number goes astray, and law enforcement people must depend in an increasing degree upon young respectable people to set an example for others. Garrison further related how a Florida judge has helped curb juvenile crime by setting up an advisory panel of young people 'to sit in on hearings of yOuthful offenders and recommend punishenent.

Defendants who were defiant toward adults often "wilted" in the presence of the teenage panel which "in many cases actually shamed the law-breaker into seeing the error of his ways." So, there is much to the idea that young

people themselves can solve and sremedy much of the crime committed by their own group • Trouble often starts with a teenager when he (or she) tries to distinguish themselves by some act of daring, and boys, in such cases, are encouraged by girl friends. This factor has been a problem a, long time. It may be termed "exhibitionism," or just plain showing off to get attention. The world is full of people who desire attention. On occasion, they go to extremes to get that attention, never stopping to realize that the real way to get attention is by doing something worthwhile or of a charitable nature. For some reason, they turn to misdeeds of violence, resulting in some serious crime. The boy in high school who is a little small for his age will go to ridiculous extremes to prove that he can really da what the bigger boys do. Girls, whose parents are not too well-to-do, do some pretty weird things to prove that they can do or have just about anything the kids of wealthier parents have. They feel they are entitled to it — one way or another, by hook or by crook, honesty or dishonesty. They're trying to prove this "we're equal" business, which has long been overplayed and overworked in our society. What is meant by "equal" is that all have "EQUAL CHANCES" to accomplish similar things or goals. Of course, not everyone is equal. To think so is asinine. It has perhaps been the overworking of this terni that has led some young people to believe that if they don't have the same things as others, they are being discriminated against, that they're being deprived of something that is rightly theirs. And they set about to gain this "equal" status.

We have said here before, and we reiterate that it is a sad case when a parent leaves the discipline and direction of their offspring to schools,

churches, police, or other community authorities, who really can never take the place of the parents. All of these working together can do a fairly good job, but when the good works of all are :negated by an intolerable situation at home, things get pretty hopeless. The child ubo "pttils out" of such an unhappy situa.tion is to be !highly commended. The grace of God has been with him, and he (or t:i,e) ha• dune wftil 'III spite or the errant, pal•ni.:, • It now costs the taxpayers about $3,C00 a year to merely house and guard a prisoner, and another $600 to feed !him. These , are official figures. Consequently, somehow a minimum of $3,600 must be collected from the citizens of the state not in confinement, for each year that each convict puts in time paying his debt to society. This is pretty expensive, and it's getting more sa with each passing year. It's getting pretty expensive not to be in jail or in the penitentiary. When will 'tis stop, or at least slow down? When will the citizenry take serious note of this increasingly bad situation?- They say that When a situation strikes the citizen hardest in the pocketbook, he'll sit up and take notice. That time has arrived. Crime, and its subsequent punishment procedures are too expensive.

WI:at talents, what energies, are wasted when a youngster winds :up behind bars!

An eighteen-year-old girl remarked recently, after Paving been apprehended after a bank holdup: "It was worth five years in jail to me. I've had a wonterful vacation; a. real hall." She was at ., "amateur," but as one veteran polici% . ,tan. observed: "when you rob a b: t;1.., you've lost your amateur standing." This young lady never learned a proper set of values; if anything, they were distorted. Her background as a Very young girl was no doubt marked with lack: of discipline, improper associations, and a generally unstable home life. One thing's for sure: she never belonged to an SPJST Youth.

LODGE NO. 47, -SEATON Dear Members and Friends: This is just to let you know that I had the privilege to attend the SPJST Sales Seminar, which was held at the liavni Hotel in Temple on August 19te through the 22nd. I would like to express my views on the things we learned. We should be really proud of our SPJST and what it has to offer us, and the importance of insurance. hope that every person who reads this letter will review his own coverage and think about H a few minutes.

We were told that only 15 per cent of the men and, women around us will leave a sufficient amount of money for his or her family to live on for the following twelve months. This is very sad. Tee amount of insurance a person should carry would depend on a lot of different things. Here are a few: The doctors, nurses, bills, taxes, food, mortgage, education for children, etc.

Almost all people need some kind of

additional insurance and should re• view this with their insurance man.

He can be of much help because he is trained in this type of work.

I only wish more of our good brothers and sisters who sell 'SPJST insurance could have been with us and learned more about the SPJST insurance program.

I think a lot of the other Organizers Will also write a letter to the Vestnik, so I hope you will read all their letters.

We had a very fine Instructor, Mr, Richard H. Abernathy, of Waxahachie, Texas, who was assisted by Brother Joe B. Hejny, our Vice-President, and the rest of the Supreme Lodge Officers.

Also, our District Organizers from all seven Districts were present and several of our Directors. Also, the Editor of the Vestnik, Mr. Nick. Morris, was with us the first day.

I tell you one thing for sure: this was a school and not a party. We started every session on the minute (Continued on page 18)•

CHORAL GROL , LODGE 84, DALLAS Dear Friends: Once again the Czech Group of SPJST Lodge Pokrok Dallas No. 84 has completed another successful year In September, as we begin our 4th year of existence, we look back on the past and pause to meditate on our many accomplishments.

We were organized in September, 1960, with the sole purpose of perpetuating Czech songs and organizing a Choral Group to that end only. A

large majority of our members had no basic knowledge of singing, only the desire; some did not even speak the Czech language, but through hard work and determination, have overcome the handicap. On rehearsal nights, our choir members traveled many miles to our lodge hail for rehearsals, and our rehearsal attendance averages between 35 and 40 members. During our break the choral members are served free donuts and coffee. We admit we're no experts or professionals. We don't sing all our songs in so called four-part

harmony, but we have developed a distinctive sing-along style all our own that has met with the approval of the general public. One thing can be said: we sing with our hearts, and with our desire for and love of Czech music we give our all, and at all our public appearances, we have shad wonderful audience response.

Public demand required us to create a record album of our songs, which we did. We taped our record on. March 10th of this year. Today our record album "Golden Czech Memories째' has

18 been aired on many Czech radio pro. ,grams throughout Texas. Our records have been sent to California, Chicago, Nebraska, Arkansas, even to Europe, and on Radio Free Europe. We are grateful that mostly here in Texas, our Record Allailinhas met with such tremendous public approval.

This work' is not due to any one person. All the Choir members have had to do their bit to make our choral Group and our Record Album a success. The various committees that have worked diligently -in. laying the groundwork f or our'record and creating our Album coVer, the distribution committee that functions so wonderfully; the officers within the Choral Group itself, and all Make for the success we enjoy today.

Om. Mother Lodge No. 84 has been moat helpful and cooperative in assist, ing us, especially our president, Brother: Sid Pokladnik, whose cooperation we requested prior to our making the album, At our last rehearsal on August 23rd, our annual' election of Choral Group officers was 'held. Details of the outcome can be found in another writeliP from our choral group secretary.

Much credit for our success must go to our piano accompanist, Sister Ruthie Chmelar, wlho has played for us from the beginning . To lighten her task, we have been rather fortunate in securing services of another accomplished Pianist to assist Ruthie. Sister Marie Nemec is a new corner to our or q anizaton and one that we are certainly proud to have.

Our next public appearance will be at the American-Czech Festival to be held at the State Fair of Texas on October 6th, and we hope to see many Of our old and new friends from West, Wal2o, Seaton Hall, Ennis. Temple, Houston, and surrounding communiIt would be my heart felt desire to see More SPJST Lodges organize Czech Choral Groups for bireir entertainment.

Yes, it takes a little work; anything worth having does, but your rewards exceed y our efforts. So come on, Houston, Seaton, Terrell, Ennis, and you other lodges; join us in a fraternal sing-song. It's not taw well you sing, lout how much you love to sing. If I can help you in any way to organize a choral group, t will be glad to be of service to you. Write me.

Fraternally yours, Prank J. Henzen, Choral Director, Czech Oberal Group,

D ear Members: The Choral Group met last Friday, August 23rd for the regular rehearsal and for the annual election of officers.

We felt that much was accomplished in one night, because we had a rehearsal, business meeting, and surprised our director, Frank Henzen, with a birthday party.

Our ailing pianist, Ruthie Chmelar, was unable to attend and we were very happy to have Mrs. Mary Nemec to fill in for her. Thanks a million, Mary, for so graciously helping out.

Our newly elected officers for the coming year are as follows: Business Manager — Leonard Ilaleja Secretary — Lillie Jarma Treasurer — Mrs. Jas. Pavelka Ways and Means — Elected but unconfirmed Refreshment chairman — Rose Hackworth Chairman of Record Sales — Annie Janousek.

As one of the newly elected officers, I hope that we can perform our duties as conscientiously as our predecessors.

Much was accomplished in the past year due to these people, and we, the Choral Group, wish to take this opportunity to thank them for all their efforts.

The next rehearsal will be Friday, September 6tih. With the Czech American Festival coming up, we have a month to work up a program. So please make an added effort to be at all the coming rehearsals. This might prove to be even more difficult than we expect — on account of the coining football season. I'm getting the fever, too!

Remember: Friday, September 6th.

Fraternally yours, Lillie Jarma )Ot Dear Brothers and Sisters of SPJST: We had our District 4 meeting at Lubbock on the 25th of August. Many officers were elected, or re-elected, and one of those elected was myself. I was not expecting it and was stunned by it.

Mrs. Haisler resigned as Youth Director

VASTN/E

of District 4 and nominated me. I feel honored by the almost unanimous vote by you brothers and sisters of District 4, but after an old hand at the job like Mrs. Haisler, you may find me lacking in experience at this sort of thing. But I sihall endeavor to take up where she left off to the best of my abilities. My apologies to you all for not thanking you immediately at the time of my election.

I intend to continue promoting more interest and respect for our Czechoslovak cause, as I have in the past. The children put forth, their best in our little program at our meeting Sunday, and made me grateful for their parents' cooperation.

Yours for a better SPJST! Julie Bayer 301 Lubbock Road, Brownfield, Texas (Everyone wishes you well. ConIg atulations, and good luck! ® Ed). ) 0( LODGE NO-. 130, DALLAS

Dear Sisters and Brothers: Our last Lodge meeting on August 4th was well attended, with many members present. Bro. Milton Vrla was acting chairman in place of President A. M. Vrla, who was vacationing in the Smoky Mountains.

Tue question arose as to what should be done regarding the non-payment of local dues by some of our members. It was suggested that a list be furnished of those members not paying, and the responsibility of contacting those members be given to each respective Organizer.

Bro. Miro Jurcik reported that the Board of Directors of the property of Lodge Jaro 130 and Sokol Zizka at 7448 Greenville Ave., had elected its officers for the fiscal year. Bro. Jurcik is now Chairman of the Board, George Prevratil is Vice President, Frances Curry is Secretary, and Will Nesuda is Treasurer. A new advisory panel to the Board was initiated.

The Fair Committee representative, Bro. Milton Vrla, announced that the Czech Festival program will be held at the Fair Park Coliseum on the first Sunday in October 1963. He also announced our big lodge function to be held on November 9th this year.

The Youth Club was granted permission to serve a meal after our September 8th . meeting, which was postponed, from; the firSt Sunday to the second Sunday in September on account of Labor Day. It was suggested in the meeting that

19 since the pictures of our Youth Activity Day were lost in the mail, We furnish black and white pictures to the Vestnik, to help replace the pictures taken by Bro. Nick Morris of the activities of that day.

I attended the 10th Convention of the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association in Bryan, Teas with my wife and son, Hugo Jr. I have been to many gatherings and conventions in my life, but never to one as pleasant as t!..le one in Bryan. The delegates were full of business and hard work, looking after their association's welfare and future and electing the best and ablest supreme officers to be had. Selecting Bra. Jaroslav Kleprlik as Supreme Secretary of the SW'S was, in my opinion, a good one because he is the best qualified man for the job. I am looking for a bright and successful future in the Slavonic Mutual Fire Insurance Association.

On August 18th I went with the A. M. Vrla family to Linden Hall, Lodge No. 66 at Elm Mott at the invitation of Bros. Otto Hanus and Mazanec to reinsure their lodge hall for more insurance. After the businesslike lodge meeting, under the able direction of Bro. Otto Hanus, we sat down to one of the most delicious suppers, which the sisters of Lodge 66 prepared. Believe me, the pleasure was all mine. I thank all the sisters and brothers of Lodge No. 66, Waco for the wonderful eve.1in Plge'. a.se don't forget our next meeting on Setember 8th.

—Resolution Committee Mrs. Annie Foytik Mrs. Annie Duckett Miss Lydia Kubena, )O( ANTONIN DVORAK CZECH COMPOSER Antonin. Dvorak was born on September 8, 1841, in a little Bohemian village with the long Czech name of Nelahozeves (which still stands in the shadow of an old castle near the place where the river Moldau joins the Elbe).

As the son of an innkeeper and butcher, he worked hard as a boy — "but all the calamities of my young life were sweetened with music, my guardian angel." He sang in the church choir and he learned to fiddle for the festivities at his father's hostelry. At first he was apprenticed to a butcher but he also managed to get in some lessons with an organist. "My teacher was a good musician," Dvorak later recalled, "but he was quick-tempered and still taught according to the old methods; if a pupil could not play a passage he 'got as many cuffs as there were notes on the sheet."

Dvorak learned enough from him to go on to the Organ College in Prague, then 'capital of the Austrian province of Bohemia. He studied hard, worked at his piano day and night (to the dismay of a series of landlords), and

Wednesday, September 4, 1963 found a job as organist in a small cturchii The ladies wit :1 whim he boarded approved highly of their guest becauge "he never came home late, he had no female acquaintances and no love affairs .. ."

In due course his first compositions came to the attention of some powerful opinion-makers in the musical world.

Johannes Brahms, the good gray master of Vienna, saw some of Dvorak's folk song arrangements, introduced him to a famous publisher, and helped him qualify for an Austrian state fellowship for artists. His "Slavonic Dances," heard throughout Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, launLt5ed his international reputation. followed.

Operas and symphonies He now earned enough from his musical compositions and from teaching to resign his job as organist and get married. (Evidently he had found a "female acquaintance" at last). In those years, as his colleagues gradually grew aware that they had a genius in their midst, he was described by a friend as a restless, taciturn man whose brown eyes kept wandering abstractedly and had a faraway expression. "His intelligence was of quite a special sort; he thought exclusively in tone and paid no heed to anything else."

Country boy that he was, he took to the hills at the first opportunity. One summer he lived with his growing family in a ,converted barn. Afterwards he built himself a one-story house stirfounded by open fields and a big garden. Nearby, "in the loveliest woods and in the loveliest weather," he listened to the songbirds "with ever new admiration." He kept a garden full of finches, pigeons, and canaries.

"Do you hear them?" he asked his friends excitedly. "How they sing!

They are the real masters."

Before I die," Dvorak resolved, "I shall write a fine bird symphony — and I'll put my very best into stead, throughout the 1880's, a steady succession of orchestral scores and operas made their way from his crowded desk to the concert halls of Europe.

Vienna, London, Berlin, and Moscow listened and applauded. "I uphold What I perform," announced the leading conductor and oracle of the era, Hans von Bulow. "Dvorak is, for me, along with Brahms, the most outstanding musician."

The Prague Conservatory prevailed on him to teach composition, requesting one hour of his time a day. Though unwilling at first, he soon regarded soon

-©1 51'Nf K his classes with such paternal fondness that he stretched out his lessons to ti:ree or fOur a day. "He was a teacher only for the talented," according to one of his prize pupils. "His school was strict but as salutary as a cold shower."

England embraced Dvorak fondly when he appeared there as guest conductor in the mid-Mghties. Lionized by society, overwhelmed by honors and degrees, he felt that "the life and bustle of London simply takes my breath away." After his success, several people suggested that Dvorak should also visit the United States.

The formal invitation to America, when it finally arrived, took the form of a contract offer. It came from the National Conservatory of Music in New York and proposed a two-year arrangement: Dvorak was to serve as director of the school, teach three hours a day for eight months, and candunt eight concerts annually. The $15,000-a-year salary sounded very tempting to a man who normally made less than a tenth, of that. But Dvorak ;i:ad misgivings. "What people say abbut America, is very mixed," he mused. "Asp always ha this world, some are for and some against." He felt that he belonged at home, for "although I have moved quite enough in the great musical world, I still remain what I have always been — a simple Czech musician." After long deliberation he accepted, and then only after rewriting the contract three times.

Mr. and Mrs. Dvorak and two of their six children arrived in the United States on September 26, 1892, after a nine-day voyage across the Atlantic. A deputation of prOminent Czech-Americans and officials of tine conservatory met him at the Hoboken pier, but no bands played. New York immediately impressed him as "magnificent, with lovely buildings and beautiful streets and everywhere the greatest cleanliness." The newspapers chorused their praises. "What they say about me is simply terrible," Dvorak proudly complained. "Trey see in me, they say, the saviour of music and I don't know what else besides!"

A month later, reporters were still 'besieging him. "The Americans expect great things of me and the main thing is to show them to the promised land of a new and independent art — in short, to create a national music. If the small CzeOli nation can have such musicians, they say, why can't they as

well, when their country and peon: are so, immense."

As judge for a nationwide music writing contest, the examined _a gru many works by American compose' — but he could only shake his hear.

"They are all broagt:t up in the Gee man school, he concluded sadly. ";Stiff here and there another spirit, a fresi thought, a new coloring flashe through."

Dvorak lived quietly on „West :, 12.ti Street, just a few steps from the con !servatory. He rarely aCceptedndinnei invitations, and attended the, Metropolitan Opera only twice in .three years. Once a week he visited the bird house in the Central Park Zoo -- for he missed his songbirds. On some. days, riding the elevated train to .155th Street, he spent the afternoon watching express trains flash by on their way to and from Boston or Chicago.

And ice made a hobby out of steamships, boarding nearly every vessel that clocked on the Manhattan side of the harbor. Before long be knew most of the captains and mates by name, talked knowingly of speed and navigation, and read the shipping news religiously. Toward the end of the first school year he reported to friends in Bohemia: "I have not much work at school so- that I have time enough for own work and ant now just finishing my E Minor Symphony." That score shortly became better knoWn as the "New World Symphony."

When the school year ended, Dvorak's sister-in-law arrived with his four other children in tow. Reunited, the family decided to, spend the summer in Spillville, a settlement H of Bohemian immigrants. the northeastern corner of Iowa. They traveled the 1300 miles by way of Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Chicago.

On his first day in DVorak rose promptly at dawn. '"Imagine,"' he told the first person he met, - "I Was walking there in the woods by the stream and after eight months I heard again the singing of birds. And here the birds are different from ours; they have much brighter and they sing differently too."

Dvorak played the organ at mass every morning in the tiny village; he composed his "American Quartet" and other chamber music; he listened .for hours to the old settlers' tales of pianeering and adVenture. And he went for long walks alone, marveling at "sd few people and - so fulcra empty Space.

A farmer's nearest neighbor is often my

ColoIrs •

24 four miles off ... There are only endless acres of .field and meadow and that is all you see, and you are glad to see huge herds of cattle which, summer and winter, are pastured in the broad fields."

Dvorak considered his vacation- well spent. On the return trip he stopped off at Niagara Falls. When ',he first 'beheld this wonder of the world he stood silent for a full five minutes, staring at the cataracts of water as they hurtled down from the heights.

Finally lice exclaimed: "What a symphony in "B Minor that will be!" Meanwhile the F Minor Symphony, completed- just before Dvorak's departure, awaited its first performance. On his return to New York the composer sent the score to Anton Seidl, the German conductor of the old New York Philharmonic Orchestra. At the last minute,: just before dispatching the manuscript, he wrote on the title page "Z Noveho sveta" — "From the New World."

A "prchlic rehearsal" was held on Deeember 15, 1893. Next day The New yoo‹. Herald carried a glowing account of the proceedings: "The day was an important one in 'the musical history of America . small wonder that the listeners were enthuSiastic. The work appealed to their sense of the aesthetically beautiful by its wealth of tender, pathetic, fiery melody, by its rich, harmonic clothing, by its delicate, sonorous, gorgeous, eve n-v ary in g insti ,iaient a tion. And it appealed to the patriotic side of them. For had not Dr. Dvorak been inspired by the impressions which, this country had made upon him?

Had he not translated these impres. ,sions into sounds, into music?

Therefore, were they not justified in regarding tf:is composition, the first fruits of Dr. Dvora,k's musical genius since his residence in this country, as a distinctive American work of art?

Thus there was every reason for enthusiasm."

Public admiration for Dvorak and his new symphony continued unabated.

Once again, however, he retired to his simple way of life. And though Ihe fe't "very well off" in this country, Bohemia drew him back. He spent the next summer vacation near Prague and returned home for good in May, 1894. In the : last ten years of his life he still composed industriously. The Czechs (honored him as their elder statesman of culture and the Austrian government made him a senator, but Dvorak

Yards and Gardens OTTO !JANUS CARING FOR TREES

Care of trees during the summer months is very important, especially during a prolonged period of drought such as we have this year. I am being asked daily, "what is wrong with my trees? Tt"ey were so nice and green until recently, and now they look like they will die." Nature, during the dormant season, provides certain elements in the soil to give trees a healthy vigorous start in the spring and with proper moisture these elements multiply and keep the tree

®T T

f8

growing, but as the natural moisture is depleted these needed elements disappear and our trees begin to show signs of wear. SO it is up to us to provide the needed elements that nature ceased to produce for the trees to continue growing.

Nearly everywhere our soil is deficient in iron and sulphur, and as these disappear from our soil leaves ,start turning yellow and loose their luster, become sickly and gradually start falling off. There are many preparations containing iron and sulphur that can be obtained in any garden store, but tff:e one that has produced the best results is a preparation called Sulpha-Soil. This preparation contains 40 per cent iron, 20 per cent sulphur, 5 per cent manganese and 1 1A per cent zinc, with other trace elements. This, when applied at the rate of 1 lb. per inch of diameter of the tree's trunk (a 10-incra diameter tree would take '10 lbs.) must-be scattered as far as the limbs extend evenly and then slowly watered in by a sprinkler that can be set near the center and adjusted to extend a little beyond the tips of the tree limbs. It is well to remember that roots go deep on most of the trees in our area. and to properly water the trees they must be soaked to at least a two-foot or more depth. At the same time you apply the SulphaSoil a well balanced fertilizer such as 8-8-8 or 10-10-10 should be applied and soaked in at the same time and you will get marvelous results. The addition of plant food at this time is needed to supplement the needed plant food nature has failed to provide due to the dry conditions of our soil. Water slowly and water deep at least once every two weeks during the summer and your trees will keep their glossy green leaves and they will keep growing. some of the trees we enjoy so much, such as the Mimosas, require less attention; because nature has made them to endure drought and neglect, but we have many fine trees that nature has not provided for and it is up to us to keep them in top shape.

This is very important, especially ;withyoung trees because they are not as well established as older trees and their roots are near the surface. This makes then suffer more in long dry spells and they need regular care.

Trees that require more moisture than others are the willow, elm, cottonwood and pine. The drought-resisting trees are the mimosa, ash, ha,ckberry, oak

27 and cedar. Regular cure costs veil little and the results you will get are worth many times over the small cost you give your trees in healthful shade, and there is nothing to compare to sitting in a comfortable rocker under a bright, green shady tree. )0(

For Your Information: HYPERTENSION People who suffer with hypertension, Or l'atigh, blood pressure, nowdays have more reason for optimism than they would have had a generation ago.

In itself hypertension is not a disease. It's a sign that something is wrong, like the stuffy feeling that comes with a cold. Tne danger accrues because of the possibility of stroke or serious heart or kidney damage when blood pressure is consistently high.

But even mild, elevations in the blood pressure considered normal for the person involved — if the increase persists — may cause the walls of blood vessels t6 toughen, exactly as callouses are formed on hands by regular use of an axe or hoe. Research has shown that temporary increases in pressure do not really make much •ifference.

In the, most common type of high blood pressure, called "essential hypertention," the tiny branches of arteries which carry blood to all body tis,sues (called arterioles) begin to tighten up. Blood passageways become smaller and smaller, and the bout has to work harder to push the blood through. After a time the blood vessels lose their elasticity and the heart muscles thicken with the extra work load. Result: high, blood pressure, and ultimately heart damage.

What causes the arterioles to tighten and constrict? No one knows!

High blood pressure sometimes goes up for a period of days or weeks.-- or even longer and then drops back to normal. Sometimes it may jump from pure nervousness while your physician is examining you. Perhaps there is a connection between hypertension and the strain of modern life. People who work under constant stress, who worry too much, are often susceptible. Heredity is a probable factor, and the condition occurs most often in persons between 30 and 50.

The thing which will count most in adding years to the life of hypertension sufferers is the willingness to change their living habits, following the rules of moderation in everything,

igtSTNfK 3y securing a doctor's care and followJig the rules of moderation in everything. By securing a doctor's care and following a few simple rules for moderate living, they can probably work and enjoy life as long or longer than their next-door neighbors without high blood pressure.

There is nothing to gain from worry about your chances of deVeloping hypertension. Just make it a point to have a physical examination at least once a year. And worry and argue as little as possible.

Low blood pressure, on the other hand, seldom causes trouble. Afflicting relatively few people to a serious ex-

—Texas Dept. of Health 0( PUBLIC TO GET STERILIZED BACON

Canned bacon sterilized by irradiation for preservation has been cleared for unrestricted public consumption in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration.

A statement from l , he FDA office in Washington, D.C., said some 20 other fresh: foods now are under study and that within two years the Army expects to have "a number" of these ready for FDA clearance, including chicken, potatoes,, wheat flour, pork loins and fresh oranges.

(Research and development of the radiation preservation method was undertaken by the Quartermaster General of the Army and is now under the direction of the U.S. Army Material Command and the Army Surgeon General).

The director of the FDA's division of pharmacology, Dr. Arnold J. Lehman, said irradiated bacon is as harmless as any food sterilized by 'neat. He emphasized that no radioactivity remains in the product.

The food is irradiated in the can.

A regulation specified in the clearance is that records must be kept of the doSe of radiation absorbed. "Phantom" containers similar to those used for the bacon — but instead containing ``closimeter" devices to measure and record radiation received -- will be used.

At least one "phantom" for each 24hour radiation period, or one of each 1,000 packages exposed, whichever comes first, must be used, says the FDA. -) 0 ( The USDA reported last week a south American wild yam can be used as raw material for cortisone, a drug used for arthritis victims.
