Nestaei dnes umet jen pracovat, ale take praci nabidnout a vedet, kde je ji tteba. Ti, kteti se specialisovali na je,den druh prate a na jedno misto, snadno nodlehaji krisi. Je tteba hledat nova mista, nove prameny ()Wiry; zanikla cela,rada povolani, sale povstala nova a zase najdou lide praci v novYch oborech. Je tteba myslit, hledat.

Pomahajice jinYm, pomtfterne i sobe — jen nezahalet ani mozkem, ani ru. kama. Kolik dobrYch podnetil nam unika! Vaand jsou slova Masarykova: "Tu zasadu mel jsem od malieka, te elovek, ktery chce pracovati, vadycky vi, jak a co a ikcie". Nikdo snad nemel merle, kciyt gel do tivota, jako hoch Masaryk, jena gel se 70 krejcary nk studie a tivil se pH. torn sam i sveho mlacitiho bratra.

To byla "Kr se", ale nerratikal a umel si pomoci. SkvelY ptiklad!

Ve rti'odu tIne 15, ledna 1954

Kulturni prinos 0 nesmrtelne lasce Dne 15. brezna 1964 bude uvedena premiera nove Ceske hry "L,incolnova pr yn1 laska", nejvetgi zamilovany romanek Ameriky. lira bude uvedena v Sokole HavlieekTyrs v Chicago, zaeatek ye 2 hodiny odpoledne.

Autorem hry jest 451etY krajan Jarosiav P. Chmelieek, ktery jiZ napsal nekolik oeskYch her a radu seen a jednoaktovek, i rozhlasovYch ert.

Jamslav F. Chmelkek Dne 12. imora 1809 rozsvitila se mohutna due jako jitrenka nad znepokojenYm svetem. V drevene chi uprostred zelenych kopcit v Kentucky a ye velmi skromnem ovzdu gi zaznel prvni plae di-tete v ngich lidi, byl to Abraham Lincoln.

V tomto pamatnem roce se narodilo vice velkYch moat Chopin a Mendelson, do hudebniho viru, Gladstone co statnik, Darwin co vedec, Poe jako basnik a Tomag Jefferson byl tehdy pre.sidentem Spojenych Stat.

Lincoln byl inspiraci celemu narodu.

On byl symbolem svobody. On byl skvoucim klenotem, ktery bohate ozdoboval tehdej gi dobu. On jest nejbohatgirn odkazem nagi domovine. Nebylo laskavej gi a mirnej gi doge na svetd. Dovedl premoci hney jemnou laskavosti, nenavist porazil odvahou a mstu zne gkodnil sou'citem.

Je zapsan v ,dejepisi i v pisni. Byl odlit v bronzi, byl vytesan v mramoru a malovan v obrazech.

Nenajdeme bronz flost silny a kamen dotsi bilk, aby nam ukazali jeho jean-

/7I T ItM nost a silo, skromnost a stateenost, ktere ueinili Lincolna tak mohutnou osobnosti?

Vgechna ikouzla jitra, poledne a noel, vSechny zahady tmavych lest a oblohy posete hvezdami zarili z jeho oci. V jeho vrazeitem oblieeji zrcadlila se peee a obdiv pro vSechno lidstvo. Jeho laska byla nekoneend jako mote a neomezevesmir. na Neni nic noveho co by se dale Mei o Lincolnovi. TakteZ se neda rici nic noveho o borach, o mori aneb o hvezdach.

Hory se stale vysoko tyel v majestatni velebnosti nad mraky, zahadne mote stale narika u brehtt, a neme hvezdy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ale horam, moii a, hvezdam lidstvo veene bode vzdavati Octu. To same se da lid o Lincolnovi.

A on vytrval. Jmeno Lincolna privola slzy do oei starch muZti a mladeZ se uci jim vlastenecke vernosti.

A pokud republika stoji na na nejt on poloZil jeho velkou mysl a srdce, a pokud svoboda se bude pestovati, a pokud, obeanska sluZba a obetavost se bode ctit na zemi, jmeno Abraham Lincoln bude vyslovovano s nehynouci laskou, vgech.

Snad nejvetgi zalaadeu ziistane otazka, jestli krasna Ann Rutledge, byla jeho romantickou baji nebo skuteenYm svetlem jeho Zivota.

BYvalY pravni spoleenik Lincolna, Win. Herndon podporil snad nejvice povesti o Ann Rutledgeove, ktery tvrdil, ze Lincoln nemel v poslednich 23 letech tadne radosti ze Zivota a Ze jeho jedinou pravou laskou byla Ann Rutledge a ze jej i smrt jej teiner pripravila o rozum. I znalci tivota Lincolnova, autority jako Carl Sandburg a Albert Beveridge pokladali laskut Abe Lincolna a Ann Rutledge za nejvet gi zamilovany romanek, Ameriky.

Je dokazano, ze Abe a Ann byli zasnoubeni a. kdyt umirala, Ze poslala pro Lincolna, jeW., pak seal u ni hodinu dile jeji ruku ye sve.

Na kameni nad jejim hrobem u Petersburg, Ill., je vytesan nahrobni napis od Edgara Lee Masterse: "Jsem Ann Rutledge, ktera spi pod timto travnikem, milovana Abrahamem Lincolnem, proyclaila zan nej ne sriatkem, ale odlotieenim. Vzkvetej na, veky, Republiko, z prachu mYch prsou."

Chat' Lincolnova, Mary Todd bojovala proti tomuto "mythu" a nakonee

byla postitena tragedii, ztratou rozumu, v r. 1875.

Zname Lincolna jako vynikajiciho mute, a snad jen nekolik v celem .3vete by verill jinak vZdyt' on jest znam a milovan 1 tarn, daleko od breha jeho viasti.

Ve streclu dne 15, leclna, 1961 Asi hodinu po zaeatka zabavy objeviii se na zabave haste, kteri. byli rnalokomu znami. StarS1, opaleny mut, hodne at holohlavy a zrejme na yenkovskY pfivod ukazujici, vesel s Ciair1011 asi petadvacetiletou. Eiyla velmi vkasne, no venkov trochu y yzYvave odena, prostredni, mime pine postavy, Mela kastanove, bohate vlasy, jeji oblreej byl sloe dosti pravidelnY, ale nemohla se na2,vati hez!kou. Co ji cinilo slienou, byl zy laStni, tenUijij vyzY y avy nsmev, pine karminove rty a ohni y y pohled naSedlYch oci. DAMP, robu bez rukavii a jej i rame hyla krasne modelovana Ube-11°volt belosti. Jeji vYstrin byl smelejS1 net a ostatnich dam a nezakryval zaeatky sournernYch, pevnYch Hader, sametove mdle se lesknoucich bezvadnou Jejich prichod vyvolal na, chvili pozornost pkitomnych. Ddmy stihaly zvlaSte neznamou tarlivY(mi a zkoumavymi pohiedy, dotazujice se znamYch, kdo j sou ti neznami prichozi, kteri byli v prve chvili troche no rozpacich a (Miltoll se po rOkorn, kdo je znd a moil by je predstaviti.

Prvni so it nim priblit'il Kulae. Tancil s jednou pant nrednika, zachytil vSa,r pohledem pachozi. Trhl seboo:, okanitik ustal v tanci a bylo videti, to je eimsi prekvapen. Potom: vSak, jako by se na neeem rozhodl, kYvl znameho pana, ktery prave notaneil, a omluvil ,se taneenici, predal ji svemu zastupci a prodi g al se taneicimj ke vchodu.

"Pekoe vitam, pane Tobe'Si," povidal bod g e natahule mkt' k podani. "Rukulibam, sieeno, ,jste hcdai, ze jste nas poctili," Take sleene ruku podal, polibil jeji ruku a pri tom pobledem zavadil o jejl poprsi. Hdyt, Nava: zvedl, jiskrily se mu oei a usmived se, "To jsme radi, ze jsme vas zde naSU, nemeli bychom jinak tadneho znameho," povidal pan TobeS" opravdu radostne. "Kam se mime posaditi?

Musite nastrochu pfcclstaviti, jsme pa prve ye zdejS1 spoleenosti, nebyli bycbom sem jell, ale Zuz!ka, jakmile na pozvankdcb y ak jrceno videla, nedala jinak a vypravili j sme so sem." prave "Jste hodni. te jste hudba prestala hrati, pojd'te, zavedu vas voile, :kde sedi kde vas hulu moon predstaviti. Jak so dari.?" ptal se, kraecje vedle inch do restauraeni mistnosti, napinene lidnii i kourem.

"Dekujeme, zatim dobiT, a pomalu si na nave misto zvykdme. Pristehovali jsme se prvniho zaii, clo , catorina, Isle

je piece jen lope net na starem miste."

Vtom se vedle KuMee objevila Elara, kterou kterysi taneenik z kola privadel.

Udivene se podivala na mute, jdouelho s neznamou sleenou, jejiZ' toaleta toaleta vzbudila jeji pozornost. Kulao, buff:1>one se ohlednuv, spattil Z'enin tazavy pohled. a zaeal predstavovati.

"Miij start' znamy a dab, kdy jsem byl na druhem panstvi adjunktem, pan kehor TobeS, najemce dvora," povidal vesele, "a to je slecna Tobe gova, se kteton jsem se znal, dokud jsem byl svobodny. Prestehovali se do s atorina a nikoho zde neznaji. To je moje parn, Malta ji rikarne, a jsme d vice net pul roku syYmi." TobeS podal Klare pratelsky ruku a take Zuza, vykouzlivAi fisme y na svou tvar, ruku ji po.d'avala.

"ZenuSko, musiS sleenu trochu s dam.ami seznamiti, ja zatim pana TobeSe predstavim naSim panum. Snad se pro sleenu misto u stolu najde, te?

Pojd'te, priteli, za chvili zaenou hrati a potom bychom se k nikomu nedostali."

S jakYmsi chvatem vedl Tobee k hlouektim panti a hluone predstavoval nave prichoziho, neopominuv pripojiti, 2e se s nim zna z doby sveho adjunktovan'. Asi dva Urednici se na Tobeae pamatovali a zatahli ho do hovoru o pomerech, ktere jim' byly znamy. I oni bYvali firedniky na cl'ruhein panstvi, ale oddli drive, net tam Kulao byl dosazen. S' ' atorin byl od Zbarare pies dye hodiny vzdalen a protote to byl dvtir, naldejici sousednimu ponstvi, se kterYm melt velmi ridke styky, doptavali se na tamni pomery. Net hudba zaeala hrati, byl TobeS uz obeznamen. Usedl mezi ostatni a spokojene pokuruje bavil se s novYmi znamYmi. Kulde se prodral do druhe, menAi fedni mistnosti, lkde se usadili vetainou svobodni firednici, kteri chteli bYti z dohledu vrchnich firednikti, aby se mohli podle sve vide poveseliti, "HoM, pribyla nova dama," oznamoval Ku "prijela s otcem, najemcem dvora ze Zatoii na. Nikoho zde neznaji, hled'te, at' se sleena Tobe'Sova bavi."

"Je hezka?" "hezka je, mdete se na ni podivati, sedi u stolu vedle me ?-2eny. VYborna taneenie, vesele, temperamentni a bude multi penize."

Nemohl zabraniti , aby se ke dverim nenahrnul chumel mladYch, kteri zvedave si prohlaeli Zuzku.

"Tune hezka neni," soudil adjunkt od hospodarstvi, "ale ma hezk y oei a zuby a bilou plet'. A joke krasne Aaty

ma, jsou jiste z Prahy."

"Cela je hezka," rekl Kulae, mne verte, ja tomu rozumirn a main ji. Tak hezka, jako je ma tena, ovsem neni, ale at se s ni budete baviti, sezmite, to ducha a to se s ni sic budete nuditi. Povidam, to bych nerad, aby stala, a vaSi povinnosti je, postarati se, aby zylagte eizi hoste byli a ids spokoj eni."

Vtoin uz hudba zaeala a adjunkt prosmykl se mezi ostatnimi a zamitil k Zuze, elle s Klaxon hovorici. Podivala se na neh ousmevave a povstaySi, sla s nim do salu.

"ZenuSko, budu prosit o tandek," volal Kulde na "Jsem hodne unavena, ale a tebou musim jiti," povidala laskave a podala mu ruku. "Prosim te, j aci ,jsou to lide?" ptala se kdyt se, zaeali "TobeSnvi? Hodni lido. On je trochu starosvetskYY, vdovec je a ma jen to jednu deeru, ktera vede domacnost. Je Cobra hospodyne a je o nekolik rola' starAi net ty."

"Ona je nejak'a velka koketa. sis jejich nahYYch rukou a jejiho viistrihu?"

"Proshn te, ted' se to tak vAeobeene nosi, v Prate chodi teny na plesy polonahe a ona si asi myslila, te i zde honite takovou meclu."

"Nejsme v Froze a tady to kriei. VAechny damy si toho v§imaji a postrehla, jsem, jak si ji pani reditelova prohlitela."

"Pant reditelova je start a takove obvykle jsou prisnejS1, net je moudre.

Jinak je to sporadane clevee; oblekla se trochu nadherneji, protote si myslela, ze mezi firedniky se vede fgechno pa mestsku. Neni ti zde horko? Ja, tit jsem jako v parni lazni, ut jsem asi deset panieek provedl a jeSte musim nekolik jich k tanci vziti, abych je vystridal. NenudiS" se?"

"Ach ne, vesele to je a tanenn stale.

A maminka ut take nekolikrat byla v kole je dnes velmi St'astna a mam z ni radost, jak mlade Yypadd."

"VSak neni je gte tak start a ma pravdu, to chce utiti tivota. Muslin ji take provesti, hezky se s ni tancuje, zahanbila by muoho mladYch." "Proved' ji tedy, ona te ma velmi ranakazovala mi, abych se rile nemraeila, kdyt budeS" trochu rozpustilY." "Ty dobraeko, hned bych te polibil, kdyby se lido nedivali. Dnes budu rozpustiY1, mam radost, jak se nam to vyclarilo. VidiA, kontrolor ut na me Icrva, abych mu te pustil, musim mu vyhoveti."

10 Postavil Klaru vedle kontrolora a rozhied' se. Postfehl tchyni a pusiv se za ni, vedl ji zpet do kola. StYskala si sicc, 2e je unavena, ale piece rada "WA radost, ae je to vesele, 2e?" povidala mezi tancem.

"Mam, maminko a nejvice me teS1, ae zde neni ani jedna tak hezka, jako je Klarka. Kdybych byl zarliv, usychal bych starosti, aby nil ji nekdo neptebral."

"K tomu ona neni, Oak to dobre vie, 2e to ma, blaznive radas Neni to sle'aria, co jsi j i sem pkivedl, troche stfedni?"

"Kterak to? Nic jsem na ni nepozoroyal."

"Asi proto, Ze nia.S" oei pouze pro . Klarku. Je to z ylaStni device, oei ma jako fel:ay e a ukazuje svetu, co ma hezkeho.

Sem to nepatfi."

"Ale, maminko, musi miti rozurn," chlacholil ji. "Zeny se chteji v2dy libiti a kakda to dela jinkm zptisobem. U nektere je to napadne a treba, je to clocela mild 2ena, is zase takova, tichoueka miva eerta v tele. Ja ji ovSem ua asi etyfi rocky nevidel, ale poked vim, nic o ni epatneho nebylo znamo. A, tatinek provadi pant starou, ona se chudalt, poti, ale toei se stateene."

Zasmali se oba a Kulae stoeiv hlavu, setkal se s pohledem sleeny Tobeeovy. Zrti2ovela tancem a jeji pohled stal se ohnivejei. Pousmala se nan a potom privfevSi malieko oei, sklopila je.

Zase se na jeji ykstfich podival a malem by vrazil do tchana. Zasmal se a dotaneiv ' Ire dverim restauraeni misnosti, tchyni zavedl ke stolu a vracel se, aby vzal k tanci flekterou z panieek.

Aa za pill hodiny vzal take on Zuzu k tanci. U2 planula ve tvafi a sebevedomeji se rozhlaela a kdy2 ji ruku nodal, silne ji stiskla a malieko tesneji se k nemu postavila.

"Myslila jsem si, ae mile ani neprovedete," povidala tichounce a jakoby vyeitave, "a ja Ma yne k vrili varn jsem sem jela."

"Jsem mezi poicadatelt a musim veechny pritomne po fade provesti. Myslil jsem, 'Ze dost taneite."

"Nu ano, nestala jsem jeete ani chvilku, ale to j sou vSechno cizi lids a hlavne takovi mladi hoei, ktefi me pohlcuji alma. Zda se mi, ae jsem nevolila dolife toaletu, nevidim zde 2acine damy, ktera by meta hole race. Nejste zde kraj sveta a tak staromodne si zde poeinate. Mate velmi hezkou pail, jste chytrak, zmocnite se vkly neceho, co by iini radi."

"Nemohu za to, 2e mam dobry vkus," ueklibl se malieko. "Zeny mail racly

VESTNIK veseleho spoleenika a ja nikoho nezarmoutim."

"Take jste zarmoutil, jen kdybyste chtel vzpominati."'

"Dokud nenad tirednik takoveho mista, aby se mohl 2eniti, musi se zrici leceehos. Vite, 2e jsem se tenkrate 2eniti nemohl."

"Ale za rok nato byste se byl mohl aeniti a to jste si zahral na slepeho."

"Domnival jsem se, '-2e jste zapomnela a 2e jste take u2 provciana."

"Mohla jsem se provdati, ma-li yeak nekdo nekoho rad, neuzavira sriatek s nemilovanym. Aspoia kdybyste nekdy priSel a vlidne slovo fekl."

"Marn mnoho prace a me 2ena je mi aarliva."

"Hm, kdo chce, najde si nekdy chvilku, ani by svet o tom vedel," rekla vyeitave a citil jeji 2havy pohled, jak se mu primo zabodava do tvafe.

"Netueil jsem, 2e by yam to bylo mile," omlouval se a vylikbaje se jejimu pohledudeu, zahledel se k jejimu stf ihu 'kde v jemnYch krajkach chvela se jeji mramorove bild a pevna riadra. Jeho zrak nernohl se lined odtrhnouti od rozkoSne podivane a Zuza, sledujic jeho pohled, usmala se.

"Veechno yam kdysi nale-2elo," fekla vYznamne, "tikdval jste, Ze nikdy jste krasnejei deny nevidel, ale byla to le2.

Zneu2i1 jste me dtilvery a zmizel jste bez rozloueeni a bez vysvetleni."

"Hal jsem se nejakych vYstupti a ostatne jste mne ani ne2elela."

"Jak to vite? Jclete se ptat a zvite, 2e jsem nikdy nikomu neclovolila, co jsem dovolila yam. Rada bych, s vami jednou hovorila, bez sveclkti."

"Zde to neni mama, jsrne pozorovani."

"VSak jsme stall znami a nikdo nevi, co si eeptame. Nechci, aby to bylo dnes a zde. Nektereho dne bych pfiela na pul cesty, znam se s hostinskou ye Struneicich, kd'e bychom mohli v pokoji nejakou hodinu straviti ye vzpominkach. Ureete den, vzponiinejte, kdy by vam to bylo nejmilejei a asi za hodinu vezmete me zase k tanci."

Nevedel co rid, bylo mu to vSe trabal se Zuzy prece zase nemel odvahy, pfikke ji odmitnouti. Byl celmi rad, kdy2 hudba ustala a mohl svou taneenici dovesti mezi dvefe pokoje, kde se ji uklonil a stave se velmi unavenYm, zaeal se znamYmi pfechazeti a kapesnikem se ovivati. Nemohl heed jiti k 2eale, lekal se, 2e by na nem poznala rozeileni a Zuza sedici u,ni by ka2de jeho slovo posuzovala. Das mu to napiskal, 2e Zuzu vedle deny

ye stledu 15: lecnia; 1964 usazoval a 2e vubec tak horlive se k nim bli2i1. Domnival se v prve chidli, 2e Zuza ua na vSechno zapomnela a 2e prichazi poohlednouti se po nejaltem napadniku. A take stre vzpominky se v nem ozvaly a tyto vzpominky nepostradaly prita2livosti. Kdyby tueil, 2e piisla, aby ho znovu dra2dila a vabila, byl by snad pled jejim pfichodem z hostince utekl, ale ted' u2' bylo pozde new napravovat.

Musim miti rozum a neprojevovati nejake rozeileni, domlouval si v duchu. V2dyt' se dosud nic nestalo, lido vedi, 2e je s Tobekna znam a vysvetli si, vidi-li ho se Zuzou taneiti, pros s ni hovoli .usmiva se.

"Nebudee nee째 jisti?" ozvalo se Vedic neho a spatfil tchana. "Zeno., me 2adala, abych nee째 k jidlu porueil a zda se ml, 2e by take Klarka nepohrdla kouskem masa. Pfiznala se, 2e nic dorna skoro nepoje,dla a tanec ji vysilil."

"OvSem, musi neco snisti, saris take nee() maleho si porueim, ale u stolu neni mista, snad abychom po2adali nalade pany, aby nem udelali misto, ne2 pojime. Beztoho budou za chvili hrati a nebudeme jim ptekaZeti."

"Vyhovi-li ti, bylo by to nejlepei, jdi a vyjednej to s nimi."

Ochotne poslechl a naladi pant opravdu nic nenamitali, uprazdnifde nekolik mist.

"Jelete zatim delati spoleenost sleeve Tobegove," navrhoval horlive, "zristane sama a protole nema 2adnou kamaradku ani damu zndmou, nudila, by se."

"Saprlot, to bude rozhodne prijemne," hlasil se mlady lesni adjunkt.

"Pojd'te, mladenci, nabiclneme ji flak spoleenost, je velmi zajimava, eloOka as oh pfechazeji, kdy2 se na ni zblizita podiva."

"Neni talc hubena jako tva Terezka, 2e?" ekadlil ho hospociarskY adjunkt.

"Nebo tva. pihovita A malka," odsekl n ap a deny.

"Jdete, jclete, at' u2 jste tam," pobizel Kulae, spokojeny, 2e se mu podarilo 2enu od Zuzy vysvoboditi. Zaidi to talc, 2e si 2ena k Zuze ua neplisedne a viabec se bude sna2iti, aby ani on se s ni nesetkal. Z yldetni strach ho jimal, pfal si, aby unikl nebezpeeenstvi, ktere znenadani se zjevilo a napinilo ho mueivYmi starostmi.

Byl dooprovdy nyni et'asten, zamiloyal se do sve deny a citil, '2e se vedie ni stava lepaim elovekern a 2e i ostatni vide zaeinaji nan mnohem pfatelSteji pohli Z s eti. Zuza je nebezpeend, dobre veciel, co dovede. Tenkrate, kdy2

LIFE

Materially speaking, no people in the history of the world has ever had it so good as Americans right now.

Never before have men had to work .so little in order to feed, clothe, and house their families as we Americans do today.

It is a measure of the utter affluence of America today that two of the problems that preoccupy so many of us in this country are: 1. Dieting — not how to keep from starving, but how to keep from eating too much, and what to do with all the surplus food; and 2. Where can we park all our cars?

As we, head into a prosperity-promising 1964, looking back on a prosperous 1963, it may be well to take a measure of how well off we Americans are and to say a prayer of thanksgiving The U. S. Bureau of the Census has published figures on how Americans did in 1962, and they reflect the growing affluence of our nation.

They show, for example, that the number (and the percentage) of U.S. ,' families with incomes under $5,060 showed a marked decline from 1950.

Families in the middle brackets showed substantial gains. But it was the upper-bracket families that gained the most; in 1962, out of a total of 47 million families in this country, there were 81/4 million with incomes of $10,000 or more.

Furthermore, the higher incomes no longer are the exclusive privilege of professional men and managerial executives. Now many a salesman, craftsman, or clerical worker who himself earns less than $10,000 is head of a family with more than $10,000 income.

It is interesting to note, too, that most families have savings invested and earning for them. Today fully half the families have an outside income and are not solely dependent on their

We e fight, if we Must, as we have fought before — but we p ray we will never have to fight again.

• My Fellow Americans: In these last seven sorrowful weeks, we have learned anew that nothing is so enduring as faith and nothing is so degrading as hate.

--Lyndon B. Johnson (from his State of The Union address, January, 1964). payche • H.:, heck in 1950, only about 3 families of 10 had outside income.

But most dramatic has been the increase in the number of people bringing home paychecks to the family, especially working wives.

Back in 1950 there were 21.7 million families depending on a single earner, 15.6 million families with two or more earners bringing home paychecks. By 1962, the number of one-earner families had actually declined a little to an even 21 million, while the families with two or more earners had gone up to 22.1 million.

And the working wife has really become important in making the American family affluent. A decade ago only one in each four married women was working; today there are 14 million working wives bringing home p aychecks, and one out of every three married women now works,

The multiple-paycheck families are in large measure the explanation for much of today's affluence, for the ability of American families to buy expensive cars, boats and houses on the lakes, and all the other luxuries beyond the bare necessities of life.

And all the increase in American income cannot be explained by inflation.

A dollar today is worth about 77c in 1950 dollars.

There are also implications beyond the affluence in the multiple-income families in the United States today.

For one thing, they have a bearing on the unemployment situation that so many people worry about.

There is no denying that there is hardship behind some of the unemployment statistics. But, on the other hand, it is not true that every person counted as unemployed in this country today represents a hungry f5mily.

Frequently, an unemployed person is the wife of an earning husband whose children are grown and self-supporting and who is just looking for work becacse she is bored at home.

It's an interesting fact to realize that more than 5 million families in the United States in 1962 had 3 or more earners in them, and another 17 million had 2. From that, it is obvious that if every family depended on pust one earner, we would not have any unemployment problem — assuming that all the unemployed were capable of gainful employment, which they are not, of course.

People who deal with unemployment statistics know, though, that there are many people counted as unemployed who constitute no real economic problem for the nation.

What it all boils down to is that, while there are hardship instances where American families are poorly housed and do not have the necessities of life, the great majority of

V tSTNn< Americans are enjoying the best times they have ever known; deserving it or not, they have the most any people has ever had.

When some people suggest that is is not enough, there are reasons for others to suggest that gratitude might be more in order.

MRS. JOE (MAYME) HOLASEK PASSES A GREAT LADY Mayme Catherine Holasek was born in Omaha, Nebraska, on February 16, 1903, the daughter of Henry and Mary Vavra. It was in Omaha that she married Joe in 1921. They moved to West in 1924 where Mr. Holasek purchased an Interest in the Cechosiovak Publishing Company. Mrs. Holasek had worked for this newsplant since 1932. She had become a familiar figure on the streets and in the stores of West where she became known for her kindly manner.

Though racked by the pains of arthritis for years, she never lost her composure, her bearing, nor her considerate manner. She had the capacity for being pleasant to one and all.

Wednesday, January 15, 1964 or in pain. She even hated to bother her nurses when help was needed.

And so she lost that last race, but not her dignity. It was in Temple, January 7, 1964. She had known six decades of a rich and full life. If she had lived well, she had died magnificently. She was a great and a good lady.

•

Funeral services for Mrs. Mayme tatherine Holasek were held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, January 8, 1964, at Kotch Funeral Chapel. Mr. Rudy Sefcik of Houston, Mr. Frank Olexa of Houston, and Mr. Edward L. IVIarek of Temple were officiants at the service.

Graveside services were held at 4 p.m. at Waco Memorial Park.

Mrs. Holasek died at 2:26 a.m. Tuesday, January 7, at Scott and White Hospital in Temple. She had been ill for the past four months.

Survivors include her husband, Jos. P. Holasek of West; her mother, Mrs. Mary Vavra of West; one son, Raymond Holasek of Shreveport, La.; one daughter, Mrs. Doris Henderson of West; one brother, Henry Vavra of Omaha, Nebraska; four grandchildren, Barbara and Joe Henderson both of West and Karla Rae and Joey Holasek both of Shreveport, La. Pallbearers were Jerome Kopecky, Frank Hlavaty, Joe Vitek, Bill Pareya all of West, and Rudolph Troubil of Taylor, and John Mashek of Waco.

Marshall and Marshall Funeral Home of Hillsboro was in charge of arrangements.

MAYA E. HOLASEK Mayme always found a way to emphasize the good things in people, not the bad. She loved the pretty and the beautiful things of nature and of civilization, ranging from the mountain scenery of Colorado to the great cities of Europe, a pretty song, a fine picture, a flower. She was an ardent football fan, not so much that she understood the game, but in order to share an interest with her family. But she dreaded the possibility of injury to the players and felt sorry for the losers. She found great thrill in the racing of horses, but it was in her last race for life that she proved her courage, her stamina and her dignity.

She never once complained. She never once admitted she was uncomfortable

Mrs. Holasek joined SPJST Lodge No. 36 in West in 1925. She was also a member of Sokol Corpus Christi, the Western Bohemian Fraternal Association, and the West Longhorn Club.

-SPJSTLOST: Coats were exchanged at the New Year's Eve Dance at Lodge No. 6, Cottonwood. One was practically new, still had the pockets sewn up, had a white fur collar, was neutral twede in color. It belongs to Mrs. Joyce Gordon, Route 2, Hillsboro, phone JU 2-5842.

Mrs. Gordon got a similar coat in the mixup, but it is not her size. Anyone having any knowledge of this matter, please notify Mrs. Gordon.

18 (Continued from Page 15) Brother Frank Hejl said that it was also a surprise to him and said he didn't know about it either. "I want to thank you members, we appreciate it; we have had a lot of work we enjoyed it, and we would do it over again. We wish all of yuu a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."

This concluded the awarding of the plaque and then came Santo Claus, to see all of the children and talk to each one of them. Then our wondegful Christmas party came to an end.

Now I would like to give you a few details about Mr. Hejl, our President.

He has been President of our lodge for seven years and served as Vice President for about twenty years. He has been a faithful worker for this lodge most of his life. As for sister Hejl, she has been our Lodge Youth Leader for the past twelve years, or since we organized our youth activities. She has always been very helpful to make our Lodge prosper and keep the children coming to our Lodge.

I would like to mention that there are now, and have been in the past, quite a number of devoted members, too numerous to mention, who have worked many, many years just as faithfully and maybe harder on other occasions that Mr. and Mrs. Hejl, and have not received recognition for what they have dome, but we hope that no one will feel that their efforts were not appreciated, because two people alone could not accomplish any part of what was done. So from all of us to all of you we hope that you will accept a very appreciative "Thank You" for all that you have done in any way to make our Lodge what it, is today.

LODGE MT ZDA TEXASE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Friends: First, I wish to thank all of you buys and girls who took part in our Christmas program. Because of the inclement weather preceding our program, most of our program was !unrehearsed, but you were good anyway. Everybody enjoyed the program and the good food we had. We wish to thank all the good sisters who brought the goodies; also the. kitchen, committee for preparing the sausages and good coffee. We cannot mention all of you by name for fear of omitting some of the names, Thank you all.

We also wish to thank Mr. Santa Claus for coming in such bad weather, and of course the audience should be thanked for coming out. We also had visitors from District III, Brother and Sister Vria and children; and Brother Kveton from District 4. We hope you enjoyed our little get-togother.

Here.is the program that we had: Sympathy (Welcome Speech) Frank Klinkovsky Jr. Song -- Anna Rose Divis deco panied by Sister Vlasta Divis Violin Duet — Don Hejny and Ralph Kohutek Dialogue — "Protecting Mama" --Janette Hruska and Anna Rose Divis Trumpet Solo — Kenneth Kohutek Organ Solo — Becky Vanicek Christmas Acrostic by the little ones Violin Solo Gordon Kohutek March of the Candles — Boys "Silent Night" — Walter John Jakubec

This was my last Christmas program but I hope that it is not the last one in our lodge. Sister Vlasta Hruska is a very capable and energetic person, and I know that she will have some wonderful programs. We should all lend her a helping hand. Good luck to you, Sister Hruska, I know that you will enjoy your work.

Now I am ready to report what happened in our last meeting.

After the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, Sister Haisler read the minutes of the last meeting. They were approved after a few minor corrections.

Brother Morris was introduced by the president. He wished us all a happy and prosperous new year. We were happy to see Brother Morris, and believe me, you are always welcome to our lodge. Thank you for coming; it was a pleasant surprise.

Officers of the lodge g av e the ir reports. They were all good.

Brother Edwin Chlapek gave the audit committee's report.

New members admitted into our lodge were: Alton Fritz, new and adult; Emil Mikulas, additional; John L. Kuban, additional; Don Hejny, additional; Carol Marie Olejnik, Charles Vitek, and James L. Bartek transferred into our lodge. We welcome these new members and hope that they will participate in our lodge's activities.

We have one of our young members on the sick list. He is little Joseph Kotrla. He is doing well though, and I hope he will be in school soon. Joseph, hurry and get well; we miss you.

After all our preliminaries, we started the adoption of our by-laws for 1964. Sister Emilie Mikeska, secretary of the By-Law Committee, read the by-laws which were typed off by her daughter, Linda Mikeska. Thanks, Linda, that was a lot of work. Most of the articles in the by-laws, prepared by the committee, were accepted with a few corrections. These will be revised by

VESTATfIC the committee and then printed for your convenience.

We elected the following chairmen for our different committees to work in 1964 with no remuneration, except the pleasure that they get in working for our lodge's progress. We feel that we certainly made progress since the opening of the hall. If everything goes as well as it went the last five months of 1963, we hope to be able to reimburse our members for the work that they will do in 1965. dommittee Chairmen, Brothers and Sisters: Bar — Johnny and LaVerne Vanicek Kitchen — Frank and Eleonora Spanhel Floor — Will and Elsie Sodek Tickets — Anton and Agnes Motl Entertainment — Frank and Clara H.ejl Barbecue — John and Vlasta Hruska Clean-up — Edwin and Frances Kohutek (3 months) Carnival -- Frank and Irma Klinkovsky.

The Clean-up Committee is not completed because we felt that the cleaning of the hall is too much for one person, so if any of you wish to volunteer for a month or two, let us know.

You may also volunteer to help each chairman if you wish.

Brother Jerry Pechal was eleted a director to replace Bro. Edwin Chlapek, who is our new treasurer. We have a rule that an officer cannot be a director.

Sisters Agnes Motl and Ella Haisler and Brother Anton Motl were appointed to the Resolutions Committee.

Brothers and sisters, we have a new year facing us, so let us strive to do, the best we can in everything we do and please, if we call on you to help, do not turn us down. We ask you just once and if you refuse, we do not ask again. The committee chairmen are on the job every week, sometimes two or three times a week. Why can't you help once a month?

As of this time, we have heard the sad news that Brother Holasek lost his dear wife. You have our deepest sympathy and may she sleep in everlasting peace. May her memory never be forgotten.

Brother Morris, this week's issue is just ,wonderful. The page about the past is certainly worthy of praise.

Brother and Sister Stasa, your picture is really pretty.

I must announce that the By-Law

19 Committee will meet, in conjunction with the officers, on Wednesday, January 15 at 7 p.m. All of you are urged to be present.

Our next meeting will be held on Sunday, February 2 at 2 p.m.

The boys and girls were very happy over this and really did appreciate it. We want to thank everyone who helped on New Year's eve.

The lodge would like to thank Brother Robert and Sister Lydia Dobecka for donating a .box of assorted games to the Youth Clubs. The different games keep the children entertained and they really do enjoy them. Thanks to John and Ruth Krizan for donating Santa's suit to the lodge. I am quite sure Santa enjoyed his new suit on Christmas.

The Youth Clubs paid Sister Emilia Vochoska's bill at the beauty parlor as her Christmas present. She would like to thank all the members and she did appreciate it.

Junior Youth Leader, Martha Manthei chose Sisters Lydia Dobecka and Margie Straten as assistants. Martha really keeps the little ones entertained.

A YOUNG MAN'S "DATE-LINE" The parents of my girl friend place their trust in me. I will not violate it.

I will respect my girl friend as I expect other men to respect my sister.

I will respect womanhood because my mother is a woman. I will ask my girl friend to do nothing that I would be ashamed of if my mother found it out.

My girl friend has given me the honor and pleasure of her company. It is wrong for me to expect more in payment for this date.

My girl friend will be a Wife and mother someday. She must be an example to her children and the pride of her husband. I will help her be as pure and decent as I want my own wife to be.

Manhood means strength of character as well as body. Lack of self control is a sign of weakness, I want my -girl friend to know that I am manly.

God is everywhere, sees everything, knows everything. Darkness may hide me from people, but it cannot hide me from God.

EXCELLENT VARIETY OFFERED IN JANUARY FOOD PLENTIFULS College Station -- Plenty of variety should be the keynote to meal planning for Texas homemakers during the first month of 1964.

Meat, vegetables, fruit and nuts are included in the U. S. Department of Agriculture's January plentiful foods list, says the Texas Agricultural Extension -Service.

Featured among plentifuls this coldweather month are two versatile vegetables, canned corn and potatoes. For the meat dish, beef and pork supplies are expected to be very large. Apples remain abundant, and pecans and peanuts once again are on the list.

Continued large rnarketings of cattle and hogs during December are expected to keep prices noticeably lower than last year. Live beef prices in late November were running about $5 per hundredweight below prices of a year ago and hog prices were about $2 lower.

A record 283 million--pound pecan crop is holding market prices 10 to 15 cents per pound below those of last, fall.

Althou gh apple supplies are slightly less than a year ago, peanut crops exceed last year's output and the 1963 crop is 15 per cent above average.

These abundant foods listed by USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service usually are more economical and offer better selection for quality, reminds the Extension Service.

MEDICAL GROUP TO STUDY CYBERNETICS The application of cybernetics to medicine is still a very young field and only a few countries have developed active pi r o ge a m s. Czechoslovakia's Charles University Medical School has just approved the formation of a working group — twelve members to start — on the proposal of the department of psychiatry.

One of the first tasks of the group will be the creation of a real research program, integrating the interests of various fields of medicine, and making use of the electronic equipment that is available in various institutes of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and elsewhere. In addition to co-ordination, the group will prepare a prespective plan of research and prepare conditions for the expansion of research in the use of medical cybernetics at Charles University. This means first of all collecting literature, documentary material and equipment, and recruiting personnel and outside collaborators.

As very few people at present have any training in the field (in Czechoslovakia), another task will be preparation of an educational program, for example, seminars on narrow aspects of the subject, others for those interested in specializing in medical cybernetics or in applying it in their work.

The first sporadic lectures along these lines for medical students were

27 included in a non-compulsory course given by the psychiatry department of the university medical school. In the 1962-63 team, the course in medical physics for the first time included lectures on biological regulation, and a non-ocmpulsory cycle on medical cybernetics was given at one of the internal medical clinics of the university hospital. At the same time, a seminar on cybernetics for doctors was held by the psychiatry department.

For Your Information: HISTORY OF STATE OF THE UNION MESSAGES

By Larry Grove, Dallas Morning News When President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his State of the Union Message on Wednesday, January 8th, it was the 178th in a series dating back to George Washington.

It was also on a January 8 — in 1790 — that Washington mounted his coach and four and clattered off to Federal Hall on New York's Wall Street to deliver the first State of the Union Speech Washington was enxious to comply with the letter of the Constitution that had specified the Chief EXecutive "shall from tihe to time" give information on the State of the Union and recommend "such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."

Every President except William Henry Harrison, who died one month after taking office, and the assassinated James Garfield have carried out the duty imposed by the Constitution, as Johnson did on Wednesday.

Presidents usually deliver their messages in person — and on nationwide television. The President could, if he chooses, send the mesage over to be read by someone else: Thomas Jefferson did this, to the amazement of Congress — and he set a precedent that carried through until Woodrow Wilson amazed Congress again in 1913 by appearing in person.

State of the Union messages, taken as a body, comprise a history of the nation as written by the Presidents.

Where inaugural addresses are showpieces, State of the Union messages deal in specifics. Some of the more famous statements and actions of our Chief Executives came into being in State of the Union addresses.

Probably no other body of speeches so clearly shows the personalities of our Presidents as the State of the Union

v addresses: the ,deep moral insight of Lincoln; the lyrical communications of if171-2, who never went over the heads of his hearers; the eloquence of John F. Kennedy; the dry brevity of Calvin Coolidge; the fiery nature of President Andrew Jackson, the calm patience of AndreW Johnson, etc.

When Washington adjusted his spectacles to read his hand-written message to 24 senators and 50 representatives seated in red leather chairs on that cold and sunny January 8th, 1790, he was, as he said, "walking on untrodden ground."

A wall of spectators stood at the back of the gallery. And on the rostrum sat Vice-President John Adams -- describ -edinEwaroykin's"Staeofh Union" (Funk and Wagnalls) as "twitchy and red as a beet."

However LBJ was dressed, he was not so flamboyant as Washin g ton's ordinary costume of the period: suit of black velvet with sword at his side, black silk stockings, silver buckles oil his shoes and at the knees, and with his hair gathered in a silken bag at the back of his head.

Washington congratulated North Carolina for entering the Union; he called for protection of citizens in parts harassed by hostile Indians; he asked Con g ress to consider whether science and literature could best be served by establishment of a national university or by promoting seminaries of learning already in existence.

It was in this first message that Washington said "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means " of preserving peace It was in State of the Union messages that Woodrow Wilson outlined his famous Fourteen Points and said "The world must be made safe for democracy," and Harry S. Truman bared the Marshall Plan for reconstruction of Europe after World War II President James K. Polk started the Gold Rush in 1848 by confirming reports that an "abundance" of g old had been discovered in California. Fresh dent Ulysses S. Grant apologized, in one of his addresses, for mistakes of his administration that were "errors of judgment and not of the heart," President James Monroe chose a State of the Union message to tell European powers of our determination that they keep hands off the Western Hemisphere â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Monroe Doctrine. These were messages that would be toad in foreign capitals.

President Chester A. Arthur took the occasion of his address to ask Congress for help in dealing with Geranimo and 49 other Indians who were shooting up settlements in Arizona.

President Theodore Roosevelt was the first to send his message to Congress in type:script; President Coolidge was the first to address the nation on a national radio hookup.

The messages have ranged in length frelin Washington's original six-minute talk in 1790 to the message of more than 25,000 words by Truman in 1946 that set the stage for America's task in global reconstruction.

Some have been almost incoherent; several, such as James Madison's and James Buchanan's, have been noticably weak and indecisive.

Out ethers have been so eloquent as to defy description: Lincoln's messages still constitute the most remarkable treatises ever written on moral aspects of the Civil War. And, expecting a speech that measured up to his "usual," there is little wonder that many who heard him at Gettysburg, were "disap p ointed" in that address that every sehoolboy learns by heart ,today.

Lincoln's words at Gettysburg ("The world will little not nor long remember . . ") would make it appear that Lincoln ,lacked a keen knowledge of history.

The opposite appears in his second State of the Union message, December 1 1862: "We cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass Wit ight us down in honor or dis,honor to the lateat generation . . " (Lincoln had just finished asking for consideration of his plan for "compensated emancipation" that would set slaves free over e 37-year period. He said it would mitigate dissatisfaction of slavery advocates and shorten the war).

But it was a more severe Lincoln who addressed Congress two years later When he spoke of the growin g' strength of Union forces and unconditional surrender of the states that had seceded.

"Material resources are now more complete and abundant than ever . inexhaustible.

"They can at any moment have p eace simply by laying down their

Wednesday, January 15, 1,9M arms and submitting to the national authority under the Constitution. War will cease on the part of the Government whenever it shall have ceased on the part of those who began it ... " President Kennedy said in his State of the Union address: "I speak today in an hour of national peril and national opportunity.

"Life in 1961 will not be easy. Wishing it, predicting it, even askin g for it, will not make it so. There will be further setbacks before the tide is turned.

But turn it we must. The hopes of all mankind rest upon us; not simply upon those of us in this chamber, but upon the peasant in. Laos, the fisherman in Nigeria, the exile in Cuba, the spirit that moves every man and nation who shares our hopes for freedom and the future .

Annually lightning causes about $30 million damage and hundreds of deaths. Correct lightning rod systems, with proper interconnection of metal objects, can protect buildings and their occupants.

The 1963 honey crop should hit a new high with atotal of more than 291 million pounds. Bees increased their production per colony by six per cent to 52.4 pounds and the number of colonies increased slightly to about 5.5 million, according to the USDA.

Wednesday, January 15, 1964 LABOR REQUIRED FOR TEXAS BEEF How many hours do you spend annually caring for your beef cows? This information should be helpful in determining how to better use your labor this year, says Tom Prater, farm management specialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service.

Operators who have other enterprises competing with their beef program for labor, and those who work of f the farm or ranch will be especially interested in knowing how much time they spend with their cows, he says.

A recent USDA report indicates that about 12 hours of labor were required annually per cow on beef operations in Texas, says Prater. This amounts to about 3.6 hours per 100 pounds of beef produced he adds.

The hours required per cow will vary on each operation depending on management, and other factors of production. Texas studies indicate that 18 hours per cow annually are needed on the Blackland farms of the state, 14 hours on Grand Prairie farms, just over 18 hours on the Northeast Texas farms, and some West Texas ranches indicate labor requirements of about 10 hours, according to the specialist.

In comparison, in the Mountain States such as Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada, about 10 hours are required per beef animal with 2.4 hours needed per 100 pounds of beef produced.

The Delta States of Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana require 15 hours per cow and in the Southeast States of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama, 14 hours are needed.

This shows that Texas compares favorably with other beef producing states in the amount of labor required per cow for beef operations, Prater says.

PHONY TREE DOCTORS Questionable tree doctors, who, not only take citizens for tremendous amounts of money but may harm trees, are being reported from across the state, says Wendell Horne, plant pathologist with the Texas Agricultural Extension ,Service.

Unfortunately these so-called tree doctors also give reputable silvieulturists a had name, said the specialist.

These operators usually claim that they have secret formlas that will cure ailing trees of all problems. He may drive nails into the tree or spread some "revitalizer" around them. When asked about his cure-all, he usually explains that it is so new that research has not heard about it as yet.

Horne recommends that an unbiased authority, such as the local county agricultural agent, be consulted to diagnose the tree's ailment before bargaining with people who make such claims. It is also advisable for the homeowner to inquire about the operator's qualifications to work on trees.

Most of the questionable operators usually have no formal training in tree care or plant pathology. The reputable ones are always glad to give their background and qualifications and are willing to back-up their claims with scientific data, points out the specialist.

Homeowners are reminded by Horne that there are no miracle cures for tree ailments, and when new treatments are found, research and educational organizations immediately make the information available to the public without charge.

Before spending money for the treatment of trees, make sure you are dealing with a reputable operator, and make certain that you know what is affecting the trees, emphasizes the pathologist. Tree doctors who appear to be unreputable should be reported to the Better Business Bureau or the local Chamber of Commerce, he suggests.
