ZAKLADATELE SOKOLA V PRAZE V

Mesic za.fi nam prinasi narozeniny dvou muati, velikanu eeskeho naroda a eeskYch dejin visibec. Dr. Miroslav Tyra, zakladatel Sokola v Praze se narodil 17. zari. 1832. Jeho pomocnik a spoluzakladatel Jindrich Fuegner se narodil 12. zari 1822.

Tito muai byli zakiadatele hnuti a einnosti, ktera se brzy rozvijela po celYm svete i v Americe, kde byla pr y -nisoklaBetzonavSt.Louis, Missouri dne 14. imora 1865 Chceme vas proto struene seznamit s temito dvouma velikany a jaky byl jejich zaeatek. (Stocky a informace jsme vzali easteene z oficielnich sokolskYch spisu, za coa Idekujem bratru Walter Hoakovi. — Red.) Miroslav Ty'ra a Sokolstvo Dne 17, zati 1832 narodil se v

IL 1862

lie dr. Miroslav Tyra, inua, ktery vae.chen svilj aivot venoval otaine, pro ni ail, pro ni pracoval a vai silou, vsi dual peeoval 0 povzneseni dratieho naroda.

Byl synem lekaro yYm a naueil Se brzy vaaiti si zdra yeho tela, Studuje vedY prirodni a dejiny lidstva, poznal, ae jeden zakon yladne piirodou i lidstyern.

Pravi: "Veakere dejiny, jak tvorstva, tak lidstva z ylaate, json yeeny boj o byti a trvani, v nema podlehne a vyhyne, co k aivotu nadale je neschopno a celku zavadne. V torn boji o aivot, jena dejinami lidstva se nazYva, nekles1 nikdo nea vlastni vinou svou. Egypt a Babylon podlehl Persku, Peraane kedoncitm. Rekove Pamanilm, sam svetoznamy Rim na yalitm barbarity; aNQ.k . oAn:c7 z nich nezhynul, pokud

'fie Sti'edu, -tine M. ?A ii. 1963 ctnost obeanskou a silu jarou sobe uchoval, kaady z narodu tech kles1 zmekeilY, po yrhlY a zhYrelY, Co bylo; bylo. Minulost, pokud svet stoji, se nikdy nevratila a nevrati. PUsobit lze jen v pritomnosti a v pomerech, jak prave jsou, a ktere, i kdyk se nam nelibi, jen praci se daji predelat. Jen neima yna einnost nas spasi, jen opravdova prate nas zachrani a spasi. ZUstanet' pravdou: kde stanuti, tam smrt, jen ruchem aijeme, jen einnost kaaclYm dnem opetovana zabezpecuje nam aivot a volnost.

Narod neppeetny jako my v tech okolnostech easovYoh a prostorovYch, v nea postaveni jsme, jen dvoji oeekavati muze, ae totia bud'to neteeen musi znenahla vyhynouti, bud', chce-li ait, ae dluano mu einnosti raznou a vaestrannou nad jine vyniknout. Vyniknuti toto neznamend pak nic jineho, nea se ocitnouti 'name zas v tom popredi vzdelanosti a osvety prave, kde narod r naa druhdy se nachazel.

V kaadern oboru jinYm se vyrovnat, pak lze-li predeit vaechny -- tot' musi povady heslem na aim byt. Neodda.vejme -se vaak klamu. Nikdy nestadil k pinemu a zabezpeeenemu aivota narocitiv blahobyt a jednostranne vzdelani duaevni. I s nimi mnohy narod zahynul a zahyne i podnes, byt' i vaeobecny onen boj o aivot namnoze prostiedky jittYmi nea druhcly se vedi. Na zdatnosti a stateenosti telesne zavisi predevaini delnost naroda, jeho sila pracovni, vek jednotlivcav a tim vaim ninohost a z y laSte tea jakost vYroby bmotne i duaevni."

Proto pristoupil Tyra k einu. Zaloail r. 1862 prispenirn nadaenYch soudruhil, jmenovite Jindricha Flignera, "Sokolstvo", jemua do vinku vloail ureeni, "ae ono pied jinYmi povolano jest zachovati narod svuj pit to jarosti vaestranne, ktera narodUm neda umriti, pri to sile stale a sveai, pri to zdravosti lesne, duaevni a rnravni, ktera niaddne zkaze y zniknouti neda. Zajem celku, prospech yaech mej kaadY na mysli, sam sebe mej za nepatrny zlomek V.Sichni za jednoho a jeden za v:aechny — tot' heslo k &nu a povady heslem k viterstvi." — • • Ueeni Tyrovo prineslo krasne ovoce.

Pod prapory sokolske hrnuli se jinoai i muai bez rozdilu stavu a povolani, pozdeji oribrany i aeny. A cities neni u nas vetai osady, aby v ni nebyl "Sokol".

Vaecky jednoty sokolske spjaty jsou velkolepou organisaci v aupy a ty zase v,celek, Oeskou obec sokolskou, kteeita nyni pies 1300 jednot. Obrov-

Ve sti'edu, dile 18. zarl 1963 ske toto sdrukni tvori velikou rodinu, ze ktere je vyloueen vsechen osobni prospech a kterou ovlacia, duch kazne, bratrstvi a spoleenY cil: byty ku pro spechu vlasti.

Take na mlade2 Sokolstvo: nezapomina; dorost obojiho pohlavi vychoYawl se v sokolovnach v budovi Sokoly a dobre vlastence.

Ne2 Sokolstvo nepeeuje jen o zdravi a telesny vYvoj sveho elenstva. Jednoty sokolske zaklaclaji eitarny nebo knihovny pro poueeni s yYch elenti, pro net valelavaci odbory sokolske poradaji te2 uSlechtile prednaSky, vychazky, clivadla a vhodne zabavy.

Za dobu sveho trvani vykonalo Sokolstvo v &skein narode dilo, jeho vYsledky jsou velkolepe: dokonalo narodni obrozeni naSeho lido, burcuje jeho narodni veclomi a -pestuje narodni hrdolt. V sokolstvu ociclaovane muZstvo vyrostlo nam v junacke Ceske vojsko, zptlsobile vykonavati v pravy Cas vSecky velike vlastenecke Pro sve krasne cile stalo se Sokolstvo mildekem eeskeho liclu. \Mike fksokolske slety, ktere vzbuzuji obdiv ciziny, slavi se u nas jako svatky vSeho naracia.

Bud' Sokolem!

Bud' Sokolem neb nebud' nieim a zaho'cl' prelilou tu vet, ze eloyek s duchem holubieim je pravY, mu'Z a vlastenec.

Duch doby jinYch lidi Zada a k' eastim tern sva toe'. zada, kdy jeden muZ byl vitcleem starcla a vkchnu cent bral na svou plea.

T rv m Lekce e. tyriadvacata, ® Lesson 24 The verb — Sloveso The verb is a word that indicates action by a subject, of a process, a state of a person or thing: The verb changes its form according to the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person who performs an action; occording to the time (present, Past, future); to the manner of the action.

Every verb refers to a subject and time. boinjeme ® my bojujeme (we are fighting NOW), whereas the nouns BOJ (fight) and adjectives (bojovnY) bear no relation to time.

FINITE forms of verbs express number and person contained in the subject: mluvim — I AM speaking.

NON-FINITE forms have a nominal character: budovani, sta ykovani ® the ACT of building', striking, etc.

• • REFLEXIVE verbs indicate an action which is performed by the subject upon himself. Ex., mYti se, oblekat se, hrat si, Heinle se.

Sometimes, the verb may be separatd by several words from its reflexive pronoun: Ktlyi se - pi) dlouhe (lobe vratil domii.

• In colloquial speech, we use the compound forms "ses" and "sis", which are the results of abbreviating jsi se (ses) and jsi si (sis). Thus: Ty jsi se nernyl becomes: Ty ses nemyl. Co jsi si 1 • 1? becomes: Co sis phi?

• • With some verbs se has no meaning at all, and are called "simple" reflexives, Ex.: Divan se na neco; smati se; ptati se, etc. There are about 60 verbs of this type. Many of them express physical or mental feelings; bati se; diviti se; zlobiti se; chce se mi, etc.

• The Czech verb possesses: 1) 3 tenses: present, past, future.

2) 2 aspects: imperfective, perfective.

3) moods: infinitive, indicative, imperative, conditional.

4) 2 voices: active and passive.

5) 2 number: singular and plural; 3 persons (1st, 2nd, 3rd), • • Imperfective: Infinitive: tisti Present: eta Past: eetl jsem Future: budn gist

Perfective: pfeeisti —dosen't exist pieeet1 jsem pieetu

pi.•ati to!

Imperative: cti! p •eectl bych to.. .

Conditional: eeti, bych Present participle: p •eilet — Ai, .se eta, etouc, etouce pieeten, pi'eCtena, Non- participle: p•eeteno eten, etena, eteno verbal noun: pfeeteni eteni • Verbs: are also: 1) durative: jian, etu, nesu (I am eating', etc.)

2) iterative: jidam, citam, nosini (I often eat, etc).

3) frequentative: jidavarni, 'eitavam, nosivam (I am in the habit of. ..)

• • Some prefixes change the meaning of the original verb. Ex.: delati — Pi Edelati (To alter or change) ZApsati (to write down, enter) psati platiti PODplatiti (to bribe) ujeti -® (to abscond, make off) jeti o • Some verbs may take on 2 prefixes: z-p •e-vraceti (to completely turn over everywhere) po-za-bijeti (to kill people all over the place) po-po-sednouti to move over, while sitting) • • There are 2 negative participles in Czech: 1) NE nemluvim, nedelam, etc, 2) NI — nikdo, nic, nijakk Two negatives do not make an affirmative: nedelam nic; neznant nikoho; nikdo nikdy nic nevi.

ANI is used for TAKE in emphatic negative: ani on to nevi.

ANIZ is used as a conjunction: Odjel, anii se rozloueil (he left without saying• goodbye.)

• • There is much more to the study of verbs, but for the more various "shaded" meanings and fine points, an instructor would have to be used.

Some Czech proverbs: LepAi vlastni kousek chleba, nezli cizi peCene. lido sam cti nema, jinemu ji neda.

FaleAnY p •itel jako kneka: z predu Pozadu Akrabe.

• • Get your parents to read these proverbs to you and discuss their meanings,.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS .HERALD---

FOUNDED 189'1

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. 0. Box 85, West, Texas.

Postmaster: Please Send Fo 35'19 With Undeliverable Copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, P.O. Box 100, TEMPLE, TE

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK A few short weeks ago, we were hone ored to have visit us a young man, member of Lodge 84 in Dallas, now attending the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. He was keeping a promise that he would visit us here in West when the opportunity presented itself.

We are thankful Mr. James Janousek called ou us. We had a nice chat, exchanged some ideas, and had a most pleasant encounter.

4

James passed on some information to us that he had promised, relative to the number of universities in the US that are currently involved in the instruction of the Czech language. The info emation came to him from the Modern Language Association of America, whose offices are in New York City. This organization has collected data on enrollments in modern foreign languages in colleges and universities of the US for the fall semesters of the four years 1958-1961. The following information, therefore, is collect as of Fall, 1961: (The figures are given in this order: total enrollment at the university or college, Undergraduate enrollment, Graduate enrollment).

Univ. of Calif., Berkley (23,713)-6-5 US Army Lang. School, Monterey (7,499) 50 "Special or Unclassified."

Univ. of Colorado, Boulder (11,703) 5-8 Univ. of Chicago (9,126)-1-1 Harvard Univ. (6,718)-1-1 Radcliff College (1,632)-1-0 Univ. Nebraska (9,436)-20-18 Univ. of Omaha (7,177)-23 'Special or Unclassified" Columbia Univ. (16,315)-2-13-2 "Special or Unclassified" Univ. of Oregon, Eugene (8,850)-15 Univ. of Texas (20,396)-40 The three totals are 71-46-75 The grand total: 192.

The report emphasizes that a person taking more than one course in Czech

I cannot give you the formula for SUCCOSS,

but I can give you the formula for failure — which is: Try to please everybody.

--Herbert Bayard Swope • 4 Great Spirit, help me never to judge another until I have walked in his moccasins for two weeks.

—Sioux Indian Prayer 0 God, help us not to despise or oppose what we ,do not understand.

—William Penn •

Be sure you are right— then go ahead.

--Davy Crockett 4 4 Oh Lord, reform thy world—beginning with me.

--A Chinese Christian's Prayer is counted twice in this summary, and that there is no way of knowing the exact amount of duplication on this point. Consequently, the grand total may be somewhat fewer than that given..

added that he knows for a fact ;::t Czech is also taught at Notre Dame University, and at the University of Indiana in Bloomington. He has no figures, however. A Joint committee on Slavic Studies also functions at the Universii y of Thdiana, and it is my understanding that this group is also .cttt hur ilt `,t deta on the study of Slavic languages in the US. • • We en tl see that our own state university seems to stand in good stead insofar as the teaching of Czech is concerned. We do not have last-minute figures from Austin on Vils, but our effort must still be directed at the rejuvenation of that department as one of independent, renewed vigor. Across the nation, the overall figures appear

pitifully low. In various special agencies of the US government, there are an unknown number of people engaged in the study of foreign languages, including Czech, and those figures are not known to us. There seem to be very few, however, who continue in their study of Czech ,. The reasons for this are probably multiple.

Very shortly, in this column, we will offer some information on the foreign language press and publications in the US, with emphasis on Czech publications. A study has recently been completed by the American Council for Nationalities Service, the results of which should prove very interesting.

4

On Sunday, October 6th, another traditional Czech Day, or Czech Festival, will be held on the State Fair Grounds in Dallas. Unless I am mistaken, this is the oldest event of its type in the State of Texas, dating back, I believe, to the first such event in 1928. Except for the war years, the event has taken place since. (Perhaps, someone in Dallas can give us the exact years and other details on this).

We also note that a Czech Day was held this summer in Granger, which, according to all reports, was a. tremendous success. Just a few days ago, a "Slavonic Day" celebration was held for the first time, under the fine leaderCoip of the Most Rev. Bi:Thop John Morkovsky in Houston. Czech. Polish, and Ukranian groups participated in the events. Plans are already under way to make this event bigger and better in 1964.

4

4

All of these events deserve the support of all of us. They are a manifestation of our interest and pride in our respective heritage, and actually serve to weld us into a more solid seg ment, more responsive to our American patriotic responsibilities. They prove that we are "alive and living"; that we

WednesdaY, September 18, 1963 are an active group; that we proudly display our national origins. All of this is good. We hope all such endeavors grow in scope and number.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: As most of you know, because of either a drunken or blind automobile driver, I was recently seriously injured in an automobile accident. At my age, (68), recovery is slow.

Consequently, I must ask that you elect a younger lodge secretary to serve the remainder of the year.

I hear that our lodge treasurer, Willie Janicek, underwent a rather serious operation on his spine. He is young, and we all sincerely wish him a speedy recovery.

I ask that all of you attend our next lodge meeting on the 13th of October and see about electing a new lodge secretary.

Sister Emilie Vochoska has been in the hospital for a few days. She is at home now and is doing just fine.

I Would like to inform all the mothers who have ,members in the Youth Club, that we would like for all the boys and girls to have Youth Club uniforms, if possible, for the District Meeting. They consist of white blouses and blue skirts for the girls, and white shirts and blue jeans for boys. The shirts and blouses would have "SPJST Cottonwood Youth Club No. 6" embroidered on them in bright red. All mothers interested in this project should get in torch with the Youth Club Leader, Sister Ruth Krizan. If possible, Sister Ruth would like to buy all the material at the same place so it would all be the same color of blue. The boys and girls would wear the uniforms to all the meetings they attend at Cottonwood and out of town.

Everyone remember out next regular meeting on Sunday, October 6 at 3 o'clock.

President, John Krizan brought up the subject of building on to the hall at our last meeting. A ticket booth would be built on, and the outside bat would be built in for floor space.

Both women and men gymnasts will participate and it is one of our events which is attended by many spectators. The celebration promises to be quite colorful and it is a preview of possible events to follow next October at the Texas State Fair.

The Texas Sokols plan to present a portion of the program at the State Fair and Sokol Houston has been asked to participate. We consider it an honor and challenge and an indication of the recognition of our steady growth and accomplishments.

Last week one of our active young gymnasts, "Butch" Vodehnal, represented a Houston Chapter of the Demolay in a State Track Meet held at Rice Stadium. Butch won a first place medal in the 220 yard dash and a second place medal in both the 880 and one mile relay event. We like to mention these accomplishments of our Sokols because it is gratifying to know that training received in our organization is helping our students in attaining athletic recognition, Recently another of our Sokol members at New York, Marta. Nagy, was placed on the 196364 National ,AAU Team and she is a definite threat in capturing a place on the Olympic Team.

11g8TNfIC In only two, more years, in 1965. the Sokols will be commemorating the Centennial of the founding of the first Sokol Unit at St. Louis, Missouri. For 10G years our organization has built a strong and stable organization for America. The centennial celebration, which will include a slet and a convention, will be theld in New York City in June, 1965. It is the aim of all American Sokol organizations to enroll as large a membership by 1965 as possible.

It is also Sokol Houston's intention to increase our membership and we encourage all to inquire and learn about our efforts to stimulate physical fitness, moral and spiritual strength. You may write me at 5316 Kansas St., Houston, Texas, and I will forward to you literature about the Sokol Organization and information on how to enroll in our organization.

Emil Kuropata Reporter (Your letter arrived in West on Sunday — too late to make last week's issue in its entirety. A short announcement was carried in the "Bulletin Board" section. — Editor). ) 0( SOKOL HOUSTON Dear Members and Friends, Last week all the active members were hosts to a banquet honoring our junior class for their splendid performance at the Dallas District competition last July. Delicious fried chicken dinners were served to all our gymnasts, their friends and families.

It was, a very successful affair. with, about 75 people in attendance. Our President, Charlie Petrzelka, gave an interesting and stirring speech on Sokol aims, goals and ideals. It was emphasized that our youth have accomplished a goal which was very instrumental in their self-development and that Sokol was a means of acquiring leadership, physical and normal perfection. Members of the junior team gave their thanks to our instructors: Norma and Bill Petrzelka, Sidney Soukup and Carrie Vodehnal, through whose assistance their accompliShments could not have materialized.

After the banquet, a meeting was held at which time it was determined that a Sokol Circus would be presented to the public on October 20th.The circus will be the last barbecue of the season. However, with winter just around the corner, the Sokols are awaiting old Jack Frost, at which time we will again be making those delicious

17 liver sausage -(jaternice) , for public sale. Most of you will remember that our sausage sales were most successful all winter. The Sokols make the sausage at the Sokol kitchen, using an old Czech, recipe.

So keep the following date in mind, October 20th, when you can enjoy yourself to the merriment of a circus on gymnastic apparatus, with special stress on the march of the clowns.

(Srdeene Vam dekujem, sestro Bayerova, za pochvalu a za projevenST zajem! Zde uvadime Va g elanek v anglickem jazyku. — Red.) e A BRIEF ON CZECH HISTORY (Excerpts from the book "Teach Yourself Czech," by W. R. and Z. Lee) Together with Slovak, Polish and Lusatian Czech is on of the West Slavonic languages and is spoken in Czechoslovakia by some 8 1/2 million people, mainly in the Western and Central parts of the Republic. The chief language in eastern Czechoslovakia is Slovak, spoken by about 3 1/2million people, which also is understood readily by Czech speakers.

Czech is also widely used outside of Czechoslovakia — in the United States, Austria, Russia and Poland.

The Czech people are rightly proud of their stirring and 'colorful history and of Czech contributions to the cultural heritage of Europe. Great names are associated with Bohemia, some of them handed down through mists of legends. It was Cech wandering from southeast Europe, who with his people settled by the river Vltava. Libuse, ;daughter of Krok, who was Cech's successor, was appointed by him as leader of the people, and it was she who forsaw visions of a splendid city the glory of which reached to the stars, and which led, so the story goes, to the founding of Prague, the city that became famous and is the capital now.

Then in the ninth century, the missionaries Cyrill and Methodius, coming from Greece, introduced Christianity.

"Good King Wenceslaus" of the carol really existed but was not strictly a king. As Prince Vaclav he helped the poor and needy, as St. Vaclav, he is one of the great figures, presiding over Czech destinies. These include also the

V2STI■TfIC martyred John Hus (1415) who established Czech orthography much as it is today, and. Komensky ecclesiastic and educational reformer who visited England.

The Battle of White Mountain in 1620 led to the suppresion of Protestantism in Bohemia, and for a long period to the Germanization of the territory, Czechs being forbidden to speak their own language.

The written language, a vehicle of a rich medieval literature, especially of the Fourteenth Century, was now in a decline.

With the awakening of the nineteenth century, however, came its revival. Among the numerous Czech writers, musicians, and scholars, who brought the Czech nation again to full awareness of itself, were the historian Palacky, the poet Kollar, and the philologist Dobrovsky.

At this time, the democratic Sokol movement was founded and began to exercise its powerful influence on body and mind of the Czechs and Slovaks throughout t h e Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was only with the breakup of that empire, however, that political independence was won and the Republic of Czechoslovakia launched under the wise presidency of T. G. Masaryk, (1918).

In modern times the Czech contribution to culture has been no less noteworthy than of yore. In music, for example, we have Dvorak, Smetana and Janacek; in literature, Karel Capek, Neruda; in painting, Cermak and Svabinsky; and in sculpture, Myslbek.

Not only the arts.but also the sciences and industry have flourished in this land-girt state in the center of a troubled Europe, where old things and new, exist side by side.

• towns Among the ancient cities and scattered about Czechoslovakia, Golden Praha is supreme, with its splendid dominating cathedrals and castles and its renewed university, the first to be established north of the alps. No less inviting is the beautiful and extensive countryside in all three lands — Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia.

Under old business Brother Zalman stated the completion of the debt concerning our Lodge home, Nove Brother President then introduced the Secretary of the Supreme Lo(The, Brother Raymond Urbanovsky of Temple.

Wednesday, September 18, 1963 Brother Urbanovskv stated and this writer quotes: "Brother Zalman, officers, members, and friends. It gives me great pleasure to be with you. I've been in places like this before and I've said the same before, but I've never been so sincere in saying this but I know this is a happy day for you, burning the mortgage. The Supreme Lodge wants to congratulate you on your accomplishments. You good members have lived up to your good name because all of this didn't happen by accident. It all took time and planning to get the halt in the condition it is today. I know all of you are proud of your lodge home and that it is paid for. In the 1920's I came to your hall and I didn't return again until you made the enlargements within the past few years and you have a wonderful place here. But in 1959 I was told you were planning on doing away with your hall. Then some of the members decided to give it another try and the results were very astounding.

Since the response was so great you applied for a loan of $5,800.00 in July of 1960. You went to work and decided more money was needed. So a member of good standing loaned you $1,500.00.

In 37 months you paid off your mortgage to the Supreme Lodge. We have gathered here today to burn the mortgage, but first let's take stock of what has been done with the money, other than paying for the loan. You've added new fixtures, which is amazing, and all the members' work was donated. First, this work brought you together in brotherhood, and secondly, it placed your youth in a good environment and it gave you a great incentive to gain new members. In July of 1960 your membership stood at 279 members, and in 1963 your membership is 377 members. In the past two years you have had a net gain of 99 members. and you have an increase of $221,000.00 worth of insurance gained within the past three years.

"You have something to be proud of and we of the Supreme Lodge are also proud of you. I now present this mortgage to Brother Secretary Pavelka and you see to it that it is burned and let there be no doubt ha your mind that it is paid off. The doors of the Supreme Lodge are open to you all in the future. My wife and I are enjoying ourselves and God Bless You." Secretary Pavelka presented the mortgage paper to Youth Leader Norma Pavelka, who in turn, tore off pieces and presented each member with a piece of the mortgage paper and they

VASTNf burned it respectively.

Brother Zalman then asked Brother Kacir to say a few ,words, and I quote: "Brot.-.er chairman, sisters and brothers: I assure you all that your SPJST is proud of your achievements.

We're proud your members are active and that they are interested in your lodge and our Order: Everyone of you are stockholders in our corporation and I know something about your history. Your lodge home here was born i,n 1901 and you had a small building.

Years later you increased your building capacity and modernized this building on credit, and getting a building paid for in 37 months is quicker than you could ordinarily nay for a farm or a home.

"That's wonderful, and besides that you have spent money on other things such as new tables, chairs, and other facilities. Only one charter member is living and she's Sister Albina Farek.

I'm sure the Youth, have contributed a great deal towards the payment of your debt. I am certain you will do well in the future. A lodge near you has built a new lodge home and that is Seaton Star Hall. Holland too, is building a new hall, and. I know all of you are proud of your lodge home as we are proud of you. I thank you."

Brother ,Zalman thanked all the members and friends for making this oc:c -asiOn possible by diligent hard work and cooperation in making our lodge ball a success.

Under new business nothing was submitted. Mr. and Mrs. Albin Matus were then recognized as they arrived late. Albin came to provide us. some entertainment. His band was one of the first bands to play in our hall within the past few years. We owe a lot to this musician as far as the success of "getting back on our feet" goes.

Before the meeting was adjourned, i3rother Urbanovsky stated that, "next year is a convention year, and I urge you to elect representatives to attend because we've missed you all in the past few years. I thank you."

Brother Zalman thanked the visitors and members for coining and urged all to conic back.

A motion was made and seconded that the meeting adjourn.

Fraternally yours, Norma Pavelka, reporter P.S. This writer has written you the contents of the meeting in detail for the benefit of those who couldn't attend. We have members scattered far

19 away from our community and this Writer often receives word from members that say how mucia, they enjoy reading inc Vestnik and of the goings On at our meetings and socials.Next time any of you are out in this part of the country come on out and visit with us, because you are always welcome.

It's still dry and hot here, and we're awaiting a good soaking rain.

God bless you all, and our sincere thanks to Brothers and Sisters August Kacir and Brother and Sister Raymond Urbanovsky for their kind words of -encouragement. Brother Nick, it was nice seeing you, too, and do come again soon.

(Thank you, , and I add iny congratulations. I'm very sorry I had to leave before things really got underway. — (I hope. the pictures arrive in time for next week's issue. — Ed).

DR.

WROSIAV TYRS,

the Founder of Sokol

Tyrs, Fuegner, and The Sokol The month of September contains tae birthdays of two great and noble Czech figures: Dr. Miroslav Tyrs, born September 17, 1832, and creator of Sokol physical training; and Jindrich Fuegner, born September 12, 1822, cofounder of Sokol.

These two men were the strength behind a movement that was to spread all over the world, including the USA, where the first Sokol unit was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, on February 14 , 1865_ Let us then, during this month of September, pause for a few moments and turn our attention to the lives and activities of these two leaders.

(Pictures and information from official Sokol literature, courtesy Walter Hosek of Dallas. ---- Ed.)

Vi STNfl:C Picture to yourself a man with a brilliant analytical mind, born, educated and working at a time when his nation felt the re-awakening urge for its independence. Add to this an indomitable will, the purest of patriotic motives, an insatiable desire for knowledge, indefatigable energy, keen insight, a spark of genius, a determined desire to create a finer man and woman for a better world, and you have a word picture of Dr. Miroslav Tyrs.

He knew what he wanted to do.

Gathering all the knowledge of history, studying philosophy, susceptible to the finest influences of the creative arts, with a mind that was capable of assimilating all this material, it was inevitable that with such characteristics, he would lay the foundation for, and give life to something that would be decisive not only for bis country, but for freedom — loving man, for ages to come.

His masterpiece was the Sokols. As a credo for the organization he wrote "Our Task, Aim and Goal," a lyric poem in prose, sublime in its concept, realistic in its teachings, but softened • by the sympathetic, almost sentimental style of a. great idealistic and diligent student.

Phrases and sentences stand out like sparkling gems—unforgettable in their scintillating beauty and clarity. Only when we realize his deep significance for the finest development of the individual will we be able to fulfill his mission. Only now is America waking up to the fact that what he wrote almost a century ago, is equally true and applicable to us today.

Joseph Cermak, the greatest exponent of Tyrs' philosophy that we have had in America, wrote in his treatise on Tyrs and his work: "As a professor of philosophy in the University of Prague, he soberly examined the substance of national organism, discussed its right to live and determined its purpose. 'All history and all nature is an eternal struggle in which everything succumbs that does not establish its right to live.

Either develop and flourish, or disappear and make room for those who are able to live.' From this Tyrs took up the solution of the problem of the people and when he applied this law to the Bohemian Nation, he came to the conclusion that a nation manifesting so much,, vitality after centuries of oppression, did have a right to live, but that that right must be defended, that more is needed than mere pride

21

of the past and, what many of his contemporary co-workers did for the spiritual development of the Bothemian Nation, Tyrs, knowing that 'Nation's right to live must be defended . . . made up his mind to bring his people 'to such an acne of physical perfection as were the sons of ancient Hellas.

"We may say that Tyrs, by bringing into life his Sokols, has furnished the backbone and sinew to the body which was resurrected spiritually by many patriotic men in spite of the most brutal and merciless persecution, in spite of the grinding despotism of the Austrian Government.

"To those who are familiar with the `Divide et impera' tactics of the Hapsburg Dynasty, it is not necessary to say that Tyrs' work was not carried on without danger, for the Vienna diplomats were not slow to learn the underlying motives of the Sokol organization. They knew well that organization which, besides training young men physically, inscribed on its banners pure democracy and love of freedom, would soon form in that polyglot empire an intractable united element which, in the future might cause the autocratic circles in Vienna a great deal of worry.

"Although Tyrs as a university professor was in the service of the Vienna Government and knew -rout he was jeopardizing his whole existence, he did not abandon his work for, like many other workers in those days, be was endowed with that indomitable spirit which was enkindled in the bosom of every patriot by the memorable defiant words which the eminent publicist, Karel Havlicek, fearlessly hurled into the faces of the plundering and blundering Austrian diplomats: `You may, .promise, command — you may threaten me, traitor I will never be!' And so the work was carried on in spite of the most alluring promises, in spite of the most arrogant commands, in spite of the most ominous threats. And if ever a man could justly say that he had accomplished his mission, that man was Dr. Miroslav Tyrs, for the history of the world's war will record on its pages innumerable deeds of valor, deeds of ardent patriotism and deeply rooted love of liberty which was manifested on all fronts by Tyrs' devoted followers.

"Dr. Miroslav Tyrs was born in 1832 and during his school years devoted all of his spare time to gymnastic exercises under eminent instructors who in those days, followed their profession

22 in Prague. As an ardent student and enthusiastic admirer of the life of the ancient Greeks, he was convinced that Greece owed its unparalleled excellence to the passionate cultivation of physical training, and he .decided to make it his life's ‘ mission to lead the sturdy Bohemian youths to the same goal.

"After graduating frOm the university, published many essays on philosophy and aesthetics and was considered one of the foremost art crities. in all of his writings oo edunation the reader detects 'In ,•s aim to base all the physical activiHos on pli,„ %siological principles in xvhich, however, - aesthetic side of the physical training is not being neglected. 'For,' he maintained, 'physical perfection should go hand in hand with a noble mind.'

"How deeply Tyrs went in his researches, is shown by the fact that many of the physical education problems which are now being discussed at our conventions and in different publications, are mentioned in his essays were the ways leading to the solution of these numerous problems are indicated. His book "Fundamentals of Gymnastics,' contains elaborately arranged foundations on which his followers continued building until the structure approached its perfection. Being also an eloquent speaker, Tyrs was elected to the Vienna Parliament as a representative of 'line liberal element, but, as the parliamentary duties necessitated his absence from Prague and interfered greatly whirl life's mission, he left the political field and devoted all of his time to teaching and organizing the national Guard, the Sokols. He died in 1884" (From translation by James L. Clhak) The creator of the Sokol I"lea., Mirosla y Tyrs was born at Decin, Northern Bal]emia, on September 17', 1832. The revolutionary year of 1848 made him an ardent patriot. During, his studies at the University of Prague, Tyrs attended the Gymnastic Institute of Jan Malypetr for three years and then was instructor in the Gymnastic institute of Ferd. Schmidt. Toward H end of 1858 Tyrs became tuto,, home of the manufacturer F. anus at No °y Jaclaymov near Here te met Jindrieb (Henry) y a man of hi gh intellectual Mi eral manager of the Prague '01 the Trieste insurance Association, who !ad his summer resort not far from New Jachymov. This seemingly trifling event had immensely important, con-

VfISTNI.K sequences. Both men soon found that had miry things in common: pa rictisuu with lin:naintarianiSm, s;rong feeling for art, clear head, world outlook, -courage to have and to express their own convictions, pleasure in philosophic meditation, vivid interest in everyday needs of the nation, pure altruism -- and all that led to the intimate friendship. which was severed only ley Vr'se death of Fuegner who was Len year older than Tyrs, and who idled in Prague on November 15, 1865.

On July 27, 186C, Tyrs was proclaimed 'Doctor of P'cilosophy at the University of Prague. Inspired by conversations Fuegner, Tyrs began to realize his great idea: the foundation of en organization which would tend to educate the whole nation by perfect and methodical gymnastic exercises to high national aims, such as valor, fresh strength, physical, intellectual, and moral health.

On February 16, 1852, the Sokol Association, the parent body of all the Sokol organizations in all parts of the world, was founded in Prague. Jindrich Fuegner was elected first president (starosta), Miroslav Tyrs, vice president. And so began Tyrs' great work Which continued for 22 years, almost wit' out interruption. From May 13, 1862, Tyrs was "nacelnik" (the leader, chief instructor) of the Sokol . Association.

Fuegner imbued the new association with pure democratism. Its outward 'token is the use of the second person Ana: lar, "thou," and of the words "1,:rolher" and "sister" in addressing one another. Sokol brotherhood is so:nct'ing imare than mere equality, it a conscious abandonment of :11•1S1llg frOm birth, property and Fuegner introduced the Garibaldian red shirt into the Sokol uniform, because in those days Guisenpe Garibaldi, the valiant fighter ,for free Italy, was a symbol of freedom for oppressed nations. The .desig° nation of "Sokol," suggested by Prof.

Emanuel Tonner, was given to the new body in 1864. It was taken from the • •:1-. and the epic songs of the anssians and Yu gosla y s where it a dr:ernes are called "sokolove" icons, because this bird, on account ,of his swiftness, vigor and energy, stands for courage). The salutation "Nazdar!" (Success to you!) was pro:ed by Josef Barak. The watchword "Tuzine se!" (Let us grow strong!) — that is not only hygienically, but in the main morally by• Tyrs,

The founding of the Prague Sokol created considerable stir in Bohemia and Moravia and in the same year -1.862 -- further units arose in ten towns.

The Sokol idea was enthusiastically greeted in the south among the Slovenes, where the first Sokol Association was organized in Llubliana (in Czech Lublan) on July 26, 1863. The first Czech Sokol in the United States was 'founded on February 14, 1865, in St. Louis, Mo. There were already 20 Sokol units in Bohemia and Moravia in 1865, wit -n, 1,949 members.

In 1833 FLegner erected the first Sokol building with a gymnasium (Praia-II, 1437 Sokol St.), the first building of this kind in Central Europe. From Fuegner is also the name "sibrinky" for Sokol masked balls; for this purpose Fuegner revived a word used in medieyal Czech language.

In 1862-63 Tyrs compiled a Czech gymnastic nomenclature. It is considered to this day the greatest terminology of gymnastic training in all the world.

On January 15, 1871, the first issue of the monthly ;'Sokol" appeared and Tyrs who was editor-in-cbief of this publication wrote for the first issue the leading article "Nas ukol, sorer eil" (Our task, our tendency and our aim) which represents the basis of the Sokol idea and will remain the evangel of all Sokol units forever.

On August 28, 1877, Tyrs married Fuegner's daughter Renata who has been the greatest Sokol woman of all tithes (she died February 22, 1937).

In 1881 Tyre began preparations for a great Jubilee Festival of the Prague Sokol in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the foundation of tbe Sokol Movement. This event was held on June 18, 1882, and is usually called "Pry-ni Slet Vsesokolsky" (the First Pan-Sokol Festival). Members taking part in the Procession num bered 1600, and on the display ground at the Strelecky Island 696 members from 76 different units drilled.

This gathering was a e'reat success for the Sokol Movement and for Dr. Miroslav Tyrs who was accor(Thd great and enthusiastic demonstrations of gratitude. The instructors icvicitele) of the Prague Sokol gave a silver wreath to Tyrs and the majority of Sokol units made him their honorary member.

He raised a healthy generation for his nation, as well as brilliant leaders — teachers — to carry on the work.

Wednesday, September 18, 1963 After his fatiguing work he went to Oetz, in the Tyrolian Alps, to rest and to renew his strength. There he found his untimely grave in the wild waves of tlse river Acha, Aubust 8, 1884. His tragic end is vieled by mystery of the Tyrol Alps. He is buried in Olsany Cemetery in Prague. )O(

CONSTITUTION WEEK The week of September 17-23 has been designated as "Constitution Week." Ea:11 year an observance is scheduled throughout the nation in recognition of the importance of the federal constitution, whicih forms the basis of our national government. It insures a stable balance of powers between the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government by providing curbs upon the authority of each.

For instance, mighty as our Congress is, the Constitution does not give it certain powers: 1. Neither Congress nor anyone else can suspend the writ of habeas corpus (unless the public safety demands it during rebellion or invasion). All officers or others must obey a court and bring in anyone in their custody to see whether he is held lawfully.

2. Congress cannot pass- "bills of attainder," special acts to punish someone. Congress cannot by-pass the courts.

3. Congress cannot pass an ex post facto law — a law which makes an act a crime which was not one when committed, or wlaich punishes the offender more than called for when done.

4. Congress cannot tax exports from any state nor by regulation favor one state's ports over another's, nor make one state's vessels clear or pay duties to another state in order to enter.

Besides these denials from within, the constitution curbs Congress and the executive and judiciary in the amendments, especially the first ten.

Among other things, Congress cannot make a law respecting establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise, or abridging the freedom of speech, of the press or the right of the people peacably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The constitution also curbs the courts

VgSTAItIK (for example, they cannot deny a person a fair hearing duly represented by counsel). It curbs the executive (he cannot, for example, take private prop_ erty for public use without just cornpensotion).

The constitution, which divides the Work of the three branches of government, winds up by telling where the rest of the power rests — just in case anybody gets any fancy ideas of dictatorship. There are things no state can do, for instance, "make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States."

If there are any powers not given to td.-le United States government or reserved to the states, they belong to the people. The constitution does not seem to limit the people. ) 0( ORIGIN OF THE LAW The law is a system of rules and regulations governing the whole field of human relations. Just to name some of the fields of law, there are criminal law, tax law, the law of contracts, business associations, torts, bills and notes, property, mortgages, sales, doMestic relations, labor relations, wills and the administration of estates, and many otrners.

Where did this law come from?

At the risk of over-simplification, the law comes from two sources. One source is from the legislature of our states and from the federal Congress.

This is referred to as statutory law.

The second source of our law is frequently referred to as common law, This common law started its growth in 1066 A.D. when William the Conqueror set ,u p his judicial system in England.

Under William's system, when a person became aggrieved because of the act of another, he presented his grievance to the .court duly constituted by the king. The court, after affording both parties an opportunity to be heard, then decided who was right.

The judge's opinion was based upon former decisions of other judges, if any, and upon the justice of the situation and upon the customs of the people. If the king had made a law, a statute, then it controlled the situation and the other factors could be given no consideration.

The opinions or decisions of the court were then written down and referred to as precedent when a similar situation arose at a later time, thereby giving a consistent pattern to the law.

As time went on the common law de-

veloped to meet the cnanging times.

Tile change in the common law was somewhat slower than the progress of society with the result that occasionally the judge-made common law was (and is) sometimes out of date and worked unjust hardshi ps. Into this gap, the king, parliament, or the legislature stepped and by tine enactment of a statute, changed the common law.

When the colonies were settled by the British, they brought with them their system of common and statutory law, both of which continued to grow to meet the ever--:changing times. After the revolution the states of our nation continued to follow this system of jurisprudence. )O( v. p.

Wednesday, ,September 18, 1963 maintenance. It is important, therefore, for you to: get the foods home promptly and into your refrigerator freezing cmpartment or freezer.

Delay or accidents should not keep you from plying the food in zero storage if the food is still cold to the touch when you get home. But tnis is the point where the food may lose some of its original flavor and texture.

You will be happier about your purchase if it has been kept frozen solid.

Two points on which there is some misunderstanding regarding frozen food storage should be cleared ;up here: (1) When we speak of quality loss (loss, of flavor and texture) through mishandling of frozen foods, we are not referring to wholesomeness. loss of wholesomeness occurs under completely different sht3umstances when the food becomes completely defrosted and is not cooked or heated immediately. The frozen food. may lose some of its frozen-in goodness (quality) through mishandling and still be wholesome.

(2) The temperature of zero degrees F. is not the 32-degree mark at which water changes to ice — it is actually 32 degrees below freezing and considerably colder than freezing temperature.

Hence, even though the ice cube compartment freezes water it is not the plane to keep frozen foods for weeks, though it may be satisfactory for a few days' storage.

SMALLER, MORE FREQUENT MEALS

Tisere can be no more monkey business about nibbling than about a fourth grader clambering over a geodesic playground climber. With growing scientific support, for smaller, more frequent meals for Americans, nutritionists caution: Calories should total the number you require to keep you to your ideal weight.

Nibbles should furnish the nutrients you need and include these foods: Meat or an alternate, milk or cheese, fruits and vegetables, enriched or whole grain bread and other cereal foods.

Results of a recent study by Dr. Margaret Ohlson and her fellow researchers at the State University of Iowa may accelerate the trend away from the established three-meals-aday routine. As one phase of a research, project aimed at learning why young adult men are more subject to coronary heart disease than are young women, researchers compared habits.

Men, they learned, ate more food than women; ate more fat which furnished a higher percentage of their calories; consumed more protein.

One new angle was apparent: Men stuffed. They tended to eat huge quantities of food at the evening meal, then nibble until bedtime. The scientists questioned male wisdom in concentrating so many calories into this four-to-six-hour slot.

Recent .research, Dr. Ohlson pointed out, shcws that men who eat in this fashion may have a higher level of a fatty substance in the blood . called cholesterol -- a finding suspected in heart disease — tiTun do men who eat smaller, more frequent .meals throughout the day.

A simple solution? Accelerate the trend toward nibbling in order to provide a steadies' supply of all nutrients.

Those of you who would still like to have soinie gor geous blooms to show your friends this year can plant Gladiolus, which come in M hundreds of different varieties and in as many different color combinations. Nearly all tne super-markets and garden centers still have many bulbs to ct.00se from which run from 5 to 15 cent,: per bulb in the more common varieties. They can also be ordered from almost any good seed catalog.

"Clads," as they are commonly known, are easy to grow and they grow almost any kind of soil, ex2ept soil that does not drain well. They will grow in either acid or alkiline soil.

I don't know of any flower that has a better right to be placed in your flower beds tl-.an Gladiolus. The; come in a great variety of colors, sizes, and shapes, and have flower spikes after cutting. They are more showy than almost any other common flower. You see gorgeous gads at ern;t florist shops; however, giads being (-no bread and butter of florists, are uSeony used in .limited colors such as pink, dark red, white or salmon aCe.s, and are used in. floral pleees requiring a mass Of color. Less common colors are ideal for the home gardner and here you are only limited by your planting space and your imagination.

WY=

Cr t STNtK How to Plant Glads If you have planted glads before you have your spot ready for planting, but those of you who would like to plant a few this year select a spot or a row that has been spaded. If you don't have such a spaded spot or row you can easily spade up an area 24 inekes wide and as long as you would like to have it, thoroughly working up the soil. After you have ,done this make a trench 6 inches deep and put in super phosphate at the rate of 3 lbs. per 100 feet of row. Then take a hoe or some convenient tool and work tkiis into the lower part of your trench. Space your bulbs six to eight inches apart, then cover about 4 inches deep after you have planted your bulbs. Give the trench or row a thorough watering and see to it that after your glads come up they have at least an inch of water each week during the hot summer months. Last, but not least, the spot you select should be where they will have plenty of sun — the more the better. Different varieties bloom at different times, so if you have purchased mixed bulbs plant them all at the same time and you will have continuous blooms as each different variety comes into bloom, giving you flowers to enjoy over a longer period of *time. Some people treat their bulbs for disease before planting, but I have Sound that most reputable dealers in garden supplies carry only good healthy stock and any bulb which does not look good to you, just don't buy it. That is a better rule than going to the trouble of treating them before planting.

Cultivation After your bulbs start coming up you should cultivate lightly every week until they are a foot high, at which time you should side dress your glads with a good commercial plant food, preferably one with an organic base. This is done by running a small v-shaped trench on each side of the plants and putting in fertilizer at the rate of 3 lbs. per 100 feet of row. This is done about 4 inches from the plants on each side. Now you should begin to water heavily each week, at least an inch of water per week. If it rains, so much the better,but glads like plenty of moisture. After the y reach a foot in height, and after the blooming is over, you can discontinue watering. During this time you should watch for pests and dust :regularly with a good pesticide. If this is not available use Malathion, in either spray or dust.

How to Harvest Glads Glads are used mostly for cut flowers in the home and for party decorations.

For home use glads should be out about 15 or 20 inches below the first floret.

In cutting, care should be taken not to dama ge anymore leaves than is necessary. With a little practice you can break off a spike of florets by spreading the leaves and breaking the spike at the first joint. The spikes are then placed in water, and as the florets open from the bottom up, you pull off the old worn flowers and dispose of them.

-Then cut the spike as much as needed to bring the next floret to the proper height. This can be continued for a week or more or until all flowers have bloomed out. It is seldom that a floret lasts more than two days. By removing the old ones as the new ones bloom out a spike in :clean water will give a week to ten days of fine blooms.

How to Care for Bulbs A month to six weeks after blooming the bulbs should be dug up, since freezing will damage them if left in the ground. Even if they didn't freeze you would want to sort them out as they multiply. They are easily slug up with a spading fork; foliage should be cat off as near the bulbs as possible, and the bulbs should be spread in an airy place to cure. Here you will have to be careful if you want to keep the colors separated. At blooming time you should label your bulbs by color or variety and dig them the same way.

After slowly curing about three to four weeks the old bulbs can be removed and thrown away. The new bulbs are then stored by sizes; the little ones can be planted separately for growing next year and with care will bloom again the folloWing year.

The large ones can be planted for blooms next season. After selecting your large new bulbs they should be dusted with dry DDT and stored where the temperature does not go below 40 or higher than 65. The best place is under the shady part of your home, but if you are one of the lucky homeowners with a basement that's an ideal place for all kinds of bulb storage.

They should be packed in dry peat moss, and if they are in a hot place they will sprout before you are ready to plant them.

Varieties There are too many varieties to try to name them in a short article, but you can easily select the kind you want from most any well-established seed catalog house or from the stock you

Wednesday, September 18, 196,, will find at your own garden center. recent years there have appeared many small or miniature glads that have seemed to become very popular, and they are useful for home use and for decorative arrangements in the home.

Some of the better miniature varieties are "Little Gold," a fine yellow; "Bo Peep," "Ruby," "Wedgewood," and "Woite Lace." Don't forget the three essentials: Soil, Food, and Good Bulbs, and you can reap many, many beauties this very year.

Wednesday, September 19, 1963 HEART ILLS NOT SUDDEN, DOCTOR SAYS It's a mistake to think of a heart attack as happening "out of the blue," or as something that doesn't happen to young people, a Dallas doctor said recently in a speech to the Rotary Club of Walnut Hill.

"Heart attacks are not things that occur out of the blue, and they aren't confined to middleaged or elderly peopl e," said Dr. Paul Conner Jr. "The evidence indicates that it usually takes years for the thickening of the lining of the blood vessels to progress to the point that flow is paired or blocked," thus setting the stage for an attack.

Tee doctor, a member of the Speaker's Bureau of the Dallas Heart Association, made the talk in behalf of the heart compaign.

Dr. Conner told the Rotarians that 'coronary artery disease appears to begin in the young and slowly progress.

He noted that many things contribute to heart diseas, including heredity, occupational stress, diet, high blood cholesterol, excessive body weight, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Dr Conner also discussed the three kinds of fats found in foods. The first mentioned were saturated fats, found in meat and dairy products. This type of fat, the doctor said, will increase blood cholesterol.

Another is the mono-saturated fat group, found in olives and most types of margarine and nuts. Usually those of this group will not increase blood cholesterol.

The third listed was the poly-unsat-

mated group, found in corn oil, cottonseed oil, fish and fish oils. He said it is clear that these fats will significantly lower blood cholesterol

On July 1953 — ten years ago — Fohert A. Taft, United States Senator hom Ohio and son of President Willh m Howard Taft, died at the age of 13. An able lawyer and one of the st respected leaders of the Republ ican Party, Taft was a number of times, but without su(ccess,,a candidate for the party's nomination for President. He waged a vigorous campaign for the nomination in 1952, but the tremendous popularity of "Ike" Eisenhower resulted in the latter's nomination and election. Despite his defeat, Senator Taft served in the new Congress as one of the President's most rusted and influential spokesmen.

Among the many pieces of legislation for which Senator Taft was responsible is the controversial Taft-Hartley Act, passed by Congress over President Truman's veto on June 23, 1947. Before the Second World War, Taft was a leading advocate of isolationism, but later he supported United States participation in the United Nations.

His views on foreign policy were set forth in a book,. "A Foreign Policy for America," published in 1951.

DISCOVERED IN INDIAN OCEAN Two big mountains — one of them looking like an "underwater Mount Fuji" — have been discovered by Japanese oceanographers in the eastern part of the Indian Ocean.

The mountain which looked like Japan's famous volcano was found southwest of Cocos Island and was named Mount Cocos. It was about 13,000 feet high and its summit lay a little more than 2,000 feet below the surface of the ocean.

The other mountain, named Mount Unitaka by the Japanese oceanographers, was a "gently sloping hill" more than 7,000 feet high beneath the sea, west of Sumatra.

The expedition which discovered the mountains was taking part in an international survey of the Indian Ocean.

The expedition said the area where the two mountains were discovered was believed to have been a part of a big, dry continent several hundred million years ago. )0( The number of doctors in Czechoslovakia reached 25,832 at the end of last year, 31.5 per cent or 8,123 of them were women.
