Kulturni VLIV RUDOLFA FIRKU§NEHO NA AMERICKt HUDEBNI SVET Chcerrre dnes vylieit, jakY padil mei slavny CeskY pianista Rudolf FirkttAnY na kulturnim rozvoji americkeho hudebniho 2ivata. Kdy2 mel nedavn,o FirkuanY samostatny koncert v New Yorku, napsal pfisnY a nefiplatnY kritik listu New York Times, pan Schonberg — dnes hvezda americke hudebnl kritiky — referat, ktery se vymykal vkrn zvyklostem. Schonberg byl koncertem - na kterem.

FirkuAny take tfi skladby Smetanovy tak unesen, 2e napsal misto kritiky — hymnus. superlativ mu nebyl dost pfepjatk, kdy2 chtel vyjadfit Firku lgneho umeni technicke a pfedev gim jeho muzikalnost a jemnou hudebni citlivost.

Patrne take z Schonbergovia podmetu otiskly New York Times rozhovor 6 R. FirktrenlYM, doprovazenY poznamkami jejich hudebniho redaktora z Los Angeles.

FirkuSnY redaktorovi fekl; "Kcly2 mi

byly etyri roky, nemohla • najit ueitele hry na klavir. VSichni Ze jsem na to moo malt. Bylo to ✓ Brine, kde koneene naSla moje maminka uCitele. Ale po rote jsem poz znal, Ze tento ueitel mne nerat2e nieemu natteit — a tak jsem byl zas bez ueitele."

Re,diaktor Times k tomu podatYka, Ze to skuteenost mohla bYt take prvnim krokem k znieeni talentu nadaneho hudebnika. Na Stesti byl zachranen oaem Jandekem, kterY odmitl chlapee hie na klavir, ale trval na torn, 2e se mu musi dostat nejSiraiho hudebniho vzdelani. Proto ueil maleho Rudolfa komposici, jeZto tak pronikavY talent mei stet zajatcem jednoho hudebniho nastroje.

FirkuanY na to vzpomina: "Janaeek mi otevfel do giro'ka brany hudby a naueil me, ze muzika je dirlelitejS1 ne2 muzikant."

Zda, se, podotYka k tomu redaktor Times, 2e celou osobnost FirkuSneho napinila pokora, ktere ho natreil Jandeek.

FirkuSneho fee je mekka, jeho smith zdr2elivy. Dvaapadesatilety pianista so kdnancimi hustYmi a peelive uprave/Vrui viasy, ma, kdomodre a bystre, nikoli veak slidive old. Obleka, se konservativne a jako virtuos se chova v2dy jako yyzraly a logickY muZ. V tfislopcovem interview a elanku, kde je popsana podrobne FirkuSneho hudebni kariera, nachazinte take :Firku:Sneho vzpominkou z prvniho vystoupeni v Pafi2i nebylo mu tehdy mnoho pies 10 let. FirkuAnY se tarn seS'el se slavnYm pianistou Alfredem Cortotem, ktery moi po koncerte fekl: "Vy 112 yubec nepotfebujete ueitele vy potfebujete pouze publikaro!"

Tot o to nema +Ones FirkunY starost. Jeho koncerty j sou uddlosti prvniho fadu a jsou zpravidla demo pfedem vyorodany. Vgak ne nadarmo FirkuAneho zafadil kritik New York Times Schonberg mezi 10 nejvet gich 2ijicich pianistfl.

Ale o jeho vlivu na soueasny hudebni 'Ova syobodneho Zapaldu budeme jeAte hovotit. Napfed dokoneime j eho rozhovor s redaktorem New York Times.

FirktignY v nem fekl: "SoudobY pianista ma dnes obrovskou konkurenci.

Ale myslim, 2e pray:6 tato konkurence pamaha k hudebni Y ysPelosti. Pianista, se nema2e isolovat. Must se pokouilet o to bYd dobry a eestnY' muzikant. Muzika je to nejdfileMtej g1, klavir je jen nastroj, kterY muzice slon21."

Na otazku o gramolono y ch nnbrevkach FirkanY mimo jine odpovedel:

8 "Fri nahravani na gramofonove desky nemtiZe pianista experimentovat.

Ale na koncerte In uze experimentovat valycky , protole kaZdy, koncert je do jiste miry improvisace. Na koncerte neni technika tak diddita jako na gramofonove desce. Na koncerte je dtilelita jedine !a! pouze hudba."

Do jake miry ovlivnil FirkuSnY americkY hudebni da se merit na popularite SmetanovYch "CeskYch tanet a polek" i na tom, jake oblibe se teg v Americe dilo LeoSe Janaeka, Pravda, jeho opery zapasi v nerovneth boji s jazykovYmi prehradami, ale klavirni diilo Janaekovo zpopularisoval Fir ku‘SnY tak, ze se stalo obecnYm majetkem obecenstva, milujiciho hudbu.

FirkuSnY prosadil Jarraoka na hudebnich festivalech v Aspen, Colo.; tyto lestivaly jsou rok co rok poradany podie salzburskeho vzoru. A nadchl v Aspen hudebni agentury tak, ze si treutaly loni poradat v New Yorku nekolika-veeerni cykius vSech JanaelcovYch klavirnich Ian komornich del, kterY se setkal se 'Zivou odezvou.

V loni uprostred 'eta usporadal, FirkUSnY v LondYne JanaekovskY koncert.

Aekoliv to bylo mimo hudebni sezonu, sklidil ohromny Uspech u obecenstva i kritiky. Poradatele kaZdoroeniho hudebniho festivalu v Edinburghu byli dokonce tak nadSeni, ze se rozhodli yenovat vice pozornosti predev gm hudbe Jandekove.

FirkuSny byl j iz pozvan na vie ne.Z na jeden koncert. Krome. toho poradatele festivalu pozvali z Prahy operni soubor Narodniho divadla v Praze, aby tu proved]. d ye z janaekovYch oper patrne Kat'u Kabanovou a LiSim BystrouSku. 0 jeji Pastorkynu nemeli poradatele v Edinburghu velkY zajem, protok Rafael Kubelik nedavno hral tuto operu v Kralovske Covent Garden Opere a Jeji Pastorkyria je jedina. z JandekoYYch oper, ktera je ve svete znama.

A pro fiplnest je nutno tics, ze Rudolf FirkuSnY je dnes na Zapade jedinY virtuos, kterY hraje nekolikrdt do roka, at' v America nebo v Evrope, Dvoraktiv kiavirni koncert, Hn. C' eske diy adlo as i'ado e. 84 v Dallasu tine 19. dttbna,; zaeatek y e 2 hod. odp,

Tedy jedna z neyzacn.ejSich historickych pamatek. Rod Premyslovcu si vybrai jiZ v 9. stoleti za sve sidlo kopec nad Vltavou, chranenY ze tri stran svahy. Ale teprve ye 12. stoleti zaeina ve vYstavbe hraldu velky rozmach. Sobeslav I. a jeho nastupce budujl na miste starabyleho kniZeciho palace mohutnY romanskY palac o jednom patre. Prizemi, merici 50 metrft v deice, zitstalo po vSechna staleti pri vSech pozdej geh presta ybach neporuSeno. Prvni patro zaniklo pri gotic keprestavbe a ke gotice se tu jeSte phpojHa reneSance. Podzernni romanska arehltektura promlouva k navAtevnikilm predeVAim svYini monuMentalnimi prostorami zastropenYmi mohutnou valovou klenbou. Odhaduje se, ze romanskY paldc byl staven 45 let a ukoneen v rate Yysveceni kaple — 1182.

ProtoM se nezachovaly romanske pamatkV, jef2 by mohly bYt v nove restaurovanYch a upravenYch sinich instalovany, bylo poukto s velkYm vkusern

kopii nej yzacnej gch romanskYch vYtvarnych pamatek z jinych mist nail vlasti. Jednak kopie nastenne malby z romanske rotundy y e Znojme, zobrazujici LibuSino Iposelstvi k Premysla Ve vyklenku je portret Vratislava, prvniho eeskeho..krale. Odlitek reliefu z malostranske Mostecke veZe reprczentuje naSi nej y YznaenejSi pamatku pozdne romanskeho socharstvi v Occhacti.. DobrYm napadiem bylo umistit zde kopie nahrobkn CeskYch kralft Premysla Otakara I, a Premysla Otakara II., z nichZ prvni je dilo Petra Parlere a druhy z jeho dilny. Oba hrobky jsou na siren' miste v kralovske hrobce pro divaka vlastne nepristupne, takZe nyni mtiZeme videt tato vYtvarna , dila v pine krdse. Instalace je uzavrena kopii sochy svateho Vaclava, opet dila Petra Parlere. V hlavni romanske sini jsou vystaveny dochovane sloupy a hlavice z ptivodni romanske baziliky.

Z romanskYch sini se da vyjit na malY palaco yY dvorek, 'drive take neiistupnY, odkukl je hezky videt sta.vebni rust a architektonicke slohy kro.lovskeho hradu. Samozrejme bychom nemeli opomenout TerezianskY trakt s archeologickVmi expozieemi. V prvnim patre romanskeho palace uvidime zbytek romanskeho krbu, velice vzacneho i kdy;; ne tak poutaveho jako sousedni krb z doby Vladislavovy, kde se

Goticke prostory bywaleho romanskeho palace, jako Karlova sin, stara registratura, apod., jsou pristupny jiz od roku 1957. KoozelnYm poSitkem je prochazka po vyhlidkove terase TereziOnskeho traktu s novymi pohiedy na zahrado. Na, valech a na panorama Prahy. A2' prijedete na jare do Prahy, na ystivte novo otovrene zahrady PraSskeho hrada: Rajskou a Na loch.

U hlavy mrtveho byly nalezeny obetiny podle pohanskYch zvyku, dnabeSi kosti a skorapky vajec. V bazilice sv. Jiri byly restaurovany romanske fresky, ovSem ve zbytcich a v kapli sv.

Jsem velmi rada, ze jsme se seznamili, vypinilo se me daYne pfani a doufam, de budeme dobrYmi znamYmi." "Take me tedi, de jsem vas blide seanal, jste opravdu velmi zajimave„," povidal, ruku ji podavaje.

"TeSi me, de aspen nee° se yam na nine libi," zasmala se tide a neodtahovala ruku, kterou ye sve dlani drdel. "I vy jste velmi zajimayk," dokl'avala tide a °di pkimhoufila "Mate snad jedte nejake ptani?" tazal se upadaje do rozeileni.

"Piaui bych mela nekolik, ale ua se rozchazime a neni na to easu. Kdybyste to nepovadoval za doterne, iekla bych yam, de by mi bylo mile, kdybyste me na dtikaz, de se mnou sympatisujete, polibil."

Zarazil se, 'ale potom na vteiinu zavahav, nachYlil se a vtiskl ji polibeni.

Ptimhoutila oei a citil, jak se chvela.

"A ted' jedte ja vas," kekla prudce a nod se nadal, rukama ha kolem hrdla objala a sve rty k jeho ristian pHssala, narudive se k nemu pkivinuvdi.

"De kuji yam, de se nezlobite," povidala mace. "Na shledanou, pane lesmistte."

Couvala ad k oknu, sledujic ho stale hoticima oeima. Chvili nerozhocl'ne postal, potom vdak prudce se otoeiv vydel y en. Jakmile yodel do prazclneho pokoje, hostinska ze .lenkovny k nemu vklouzla, pozorne se Vali divajic.

"Ratite turfy ven, v denkovne jeden chalupnik a neni tfeba, aby vas videl," povidala laskave. "Tudy ptijdete do sine a z to na nad dvur, kterV je otevten. Dekuji za navdtevu, velmi me to tedilo, de jste /las poctil."

"Co jsem dluden za Ceti?"

"To by bylo krasne, abyste takovou maliekost nepkijal, aikido nikdy nevi, kdy made toho druheho pottebovati."

Pousmala se teple a Sankot, podivav se na ni, vzponknel si na Zuzino sdeleni, de tato na prvni pohled) klid-

Pedal hostinske ruku a vydel, jak mu naznaeila. Nikoho nepotkal a pieded rychle mezi caekolika domky, ocitl se v pouch. Na rtech dosud citil horke polibeni a na svem tele dotyk pruiineho tela.

Chvili del jako omamen a vdecek udiven, kterak mohlo k tomu vdemu dojiti, Napted zlost proti sobe pocitil, potom vdak pohodil lalavou. A co by se stale utrapoval obavami. Je to pravda, de hloulbe dil a de ma pra y() zpkijemniti si divot. atm je -ncbc,,zpeena, dem., ale to nebezpeeenstvi je o to mendi, de je presto, zaludnYch mydlenek.

Ostatne se niic nestalo, to polibeni bylo v kaddem smeru velmi dadouci a tim jedte se v nileem sve cti nezpron'evefil. Jeho dena ho nikdy takhle dhave nepolibila a ani neprojevila touhu, aby ji sam polibiil. ChOdi kolem jako ledova a on piece neni jedte opravdu starcem„aby sii musiil ii takovY malt' po'diitek odeptiti.

Doma nan siice padaly obavy, hledal nejake vynaluvy, jak odloditi navdtevu, ale stale si tvrdil, ze jiti musi, aby zachranii Klaru. Prevzal urovnanini konfliktu a slib musi dodrZeti uz k vuli spravcove, ktera pak bude k nemu pra.telStejZi. KidyZ se vydal n[a cestu, napadlo ho, de v atorinu dojde k neeemu vaZnejkmu2 a slibovral si, de bude silnSr a moudr.Sr a neda. se strhnouti k neeemu, co by ho postavilo do fady s vinniky, Ale na dnu jeho etude uz doutnala touha, aby se stale, Cello se WI a co chtel odvratiti. Nechce piece rozvracet svou domacnost, Zuza sama naznaeilo, ze toho neni treba a vzpornenuv si na, sve mei Zhavou touhu, zase jednou sve nervy rozehrati.

Nebyl tak klidncr uvnitf, jak projevoval na venek, kdyZ veded do sine spattil Zuzu, jed vybehla z kuchyne a ruku mu podavajic, vedla ho mucky do prveho poschodi. Byla od plotny rozehfata a likes domaci jednoduche daty mela velkou kuchyriskou zasteru.

"Vatim dnes sama, abyste val cesty," povidala na onaluvu, uvadelic ho do pokole, kde bylo velmi ritulno. Musite miti nejakou chvili str-

Ve stiedu due 15. dubna 1964 peni, abed bade v nekoliika minutach a potom se pfevleknu, abych delala sludnou domaci pani. Posadle se, zde jsou obrazkove easo,pisy a zde jsou doutniky. Pdijdu lined, jak budu hotova."

Zasa se usmala a vybehla yen. Osamotley rozhledl se. Jideinai byla opastkena staromadriMi, nabytkeirr, vdudy panovala itzkostliva, eistata a na stole byly pkipraveny dva pkibory. Dveke db sousedniho pokoje byly otevfeny a nableell tarn. To byla asi Zuzina lodnice. Mela jinY raz ned jidelna, ndbytek byl zanovni, bilY, zaclany v oknech byly hezke, beloskvouci a na kfeslech i na otomanu. byly hezke polRafe. Nebylo tam pkepychu, ale vdechno bylo ladne a dYchalo onou ritulnosti, jakou se dovedoul deny obklopovati.

Zde asi spi, otec bezpochyby spi nekde jmnde, myslil si, oni si neuvedomuje, de se ho zmocriuje zvladtni z eehosi, co nechapal a piece ho pinilo vzrudenim. Proe sem vlostine ehodil? Co budle Zuza, chtiti? Jake podminky bude diktovati? Tabed neni doma, to je jasne a bude tedy jisti pouze se Zuzou. Pfijde-li sem sludka, bude mu to velmo trapne, ale zmeniti se to nedd.

Pkechazel neklkdine, podival se na lezici easopisy a pki tom byl jeho sluch napiat, brzo-li ji uslydi pfichazeti. Slydel okay voldni eeladky s poll se vracejici, ale zezdola neslydel nic. Ovdem, neni jedte pine poledne, schazi jedte deset minut do dvanacti a nemride se diviti, de °bed neni hotov.

Bylo poledne, kdy2 zaslechl kroky a v zapeti se otev-tely dvete. Zuza sama pfinadela polevkit, Byla ud pkevleeena v domacich datech Wave barvy, ale mela zase velkou zasteru. Sa,ma obratne Idvefe zavfela a postavivdi misu na stub, rozpiala zasteru, ddhodivdi ji Eno, didli u ‘dv'efi, blidila se ke stolu. Vypadala rozkodne, odev byl ra,finovane volen, ale jako by nevidela, jeho polledu, s rismevem ho dadala, aby se posadil.

"Hodne diouho jsem vas nechala eekati musite prominouti, vite, jak to na venkove se sludkami chodi. Musite hodne jisti, jiste jste se notne prodel a pottebujete si oftoeinouti."

Nabrala, m,ui polevky a sama take zaeala jisti s chuti, jako by byla naprosto klidna.

"Venku le jedte chladno," povidala mezi jidlem, "tedim se na otepleni na jaro. V lese potom byVa, nejkrasneji a lkdybych mohla, toulala bych se v nick cele dny. Bohudel, main

ale stiec1u dri p 15, dubna 1904 malo easu, starost o dornacnost spodiva na rune a na cizi lidi neize spolehnouti. Poekejte chvilenku, prinesu drup e jidlo. Nechci seen slu2ku volati, je rozhazena, a prod by vas okukovala."

Prehddila zasteru, a odkvapila, vracejic se s peeenou , datbe2i, krasne upeeenou a zcialeka vonici. NabYval klidu a jedl. Blaze mu zde bylo, citiil zvla g tni kouzlo domacitio 2ivota v pHtomnosti sliene 2eny, ktera, se divala zcela jinak na 2ivot, ne2 nevrla a stale zamrodend 2ena. Takhle, jak byla Zuza obledena, jeho 2ena nikdy se neoblekla, jak by ji mu2 nestal za to, aby se mu hledela nejak zalibiti. Kuchyne si ani nev g imla, ponechdvajic to fiplne sluke, ktera nekdy nedbala nebo ani nedovedaa pokrm upraviti, aby byl clautnY. A2 dosud Zuza• neprojevila ani nejmengim, lie by chtela opakovati sve veerej gi rozjareni. Usmivala se sice, bylo zrejmo, 2e si chvilemi zakoketovala, ale einila to tak nenapadnYm a prirozenYm zptsobem, 2e by ji ani prisnY pozorovatel nemohl nic vytknouti. Pravda, odev byl dradive volen, jeji postava se v nem jevila piasticky, ale to koneene v hor gi mire delaji damy ve mestech. Nema na sobe kriklavych barev a pouze v aran2ovaial je skryta touha, upozorniti na sve pftvaby.

Jegte po dvakrate sebehla dolii do kuchyne, prina gejic vYborny mouenik a dernou ka yo: a potom se tazala, co butde pill. Rozhodl se pro sklenku villa a presvedeil se, 2e najemce ma doma vYborne vino.

"Koneene je po starostech s obedern," povidala vesele, "ted' teprve budeme si moci neru gene povidati. Zakuite si, me to nedraldi, jsem tome zvykla, a pova2uji koureni u mun za prirozenou vec. Ja sama nekourim, divim se, 2'e nekterYm danadm je to po2itkem. Jegte trochu pilozim, aby nam zde nevychladlo. Vy jste chladnu zvyklY, ja venku take, ale doma main rada teploueko jako koeka.

"Zakourill bych yarn vagi namital.

"Co na torn? Pokoj se vyvetra blade dobre. Nejsem tak flzkoprsa, abych se upejpala zavesti vas do sve la2nice. Pro vas nevi takova mistnost 2.adnYm tajernstvim."

Zasmala se a neeekajic n.a jeho svolent, vzala tad s vinem a odna gela jej

"Jiste jste ce,na g el velmi nerad."

"MYlite se, rad jsem cem gel a tegil jsem se na setkani s vault," povidal srdeene.

"OpraIdu? To je nine yearn' mile.

Kdybyste byl neprigel, bylo by me to urazilo a byla bych to povaZovala za cifikaz, 2e jsem sevas neeim vdera nelibne dotkla. Nic jste pri svem odchodu nelitoval, 2,e, jsem vas svedla k inevere, 2adajic o vase polibeni?"

"Naopak, je gte v noel jsem citil vase rty a vzpomenu-li si na to, mam pokugeni '2,adati o op•kovani."

"VaZne to myslite?"

"Va2ne a tea' snad vas to opravdu urazi."

"Naopak. Divim se, 2e kdy'i yam to bylo tak mild a kcly2 po tom tou2ite, 2e neberete, co je yam piistupno."

Jen okarn2ik zavahal, potom vgak vstal a nachVliv se, vtiskl ji polibeni.

"Vic," povidala tine a primhourila oci.

Nebylo -anal ho vybiz :eti. Jako by se polar v jeho nitru vznitil, drive ji libal, kde ji naohl syYmi rty zasahnouti.

Byly tit hodiny odpoledne, kdy2 oblekala, flees upravila. a ncdivajic se nan, kamsi ven vybehla. Path' chvili za ni bezmy glenkevite, jako by se dosud nachazel v jakemsi ustrnuti apotorn teprve se rozhletdInu y, te2ce pavstal, Byl probuzen z dloulaeho spancltrig,evniho, v nem2 nebylo nic, co by mu prineslo svetlo ai novY po2itek.

Must jegte s ni hovoriti, must dosici, aby mu slibila, Ze toto setkani nebylo posledni. Naslouchal, kam gla, netrpepodital vteriny a byl odhodlan ji vyhledati, skryla-li se mu snad a nechce-li ho u2 Prigla vgak zdanlive vava a pouze jejli lesknouci se oei a rychle .zyedani se jeji hrudi svedeilo, ze potlaeuje sve rozdileni.

"Musila jsem obstarati svaeinu," povidala nratelsky, "nemliZete odejiti bezobeerstverd. Pojd'te se posadit do lidelny."

Yet life insurance is the only means by which a man or woman can create a substantial estate by signing an application and paying moderate payments.

A life insurance certificate is bought on easy terms and .cancels at death all unpaid installments. It is a plan which makes possible the purchase of money for delivery in the future at a time when it will be needed most As someone wrote not long ago: "Life insurance is the organized love of men for their families; the capitalization of affection; the prudence of years; the riches of the poor; the security of the rich. It is that which reaches its greatest value in immediate cash when everything eI e e is made uncertain through death." ♦ • The life underwriter (in the ;SPJST, we call them "organizers") does not look at the calendar with dread. He doesn't watch approaching old age with a shudder. He is not haunted by the fear of what the Big Boss will do.

For he knows that it is only the character of his work and results that count.

The successful life underwrit e r can go an ywhere. an y time, and keen on with his work. Th e folks at the home office will resnect him. Even the president will be a li t tle careful with his words and accents when he speaks to this man.

He is about the most independent worker on earth. And he has increasing advantages as the pears pass. These very years command respect.

For he speaks out of years of ex-

QUOTES . .

"In war, there can be no substitute for victory."

• • "Though I am a Ceasar, I render unto God that which was his."

• • At a cemetery near Pearl Harbor: "I did not know the dignity of their birth, but I do know the glory of their death."

• • "It doesn't matter how much you have, so long as you fight with what you have. It doesn't matter where you fight, so lon,g as you fight. So fight, on whatever the scale, whenever and wherever you can. There is only one way to win victories. Attack, attack, attack!"

• As he lay dying: "I am going to do the very best I can."

General of the Army, Douglas MacArthur perience, not out of books he has read.

He has lived the hazards and the certainties, the failures and the conquests. He can name names and give dates and specify places. There is weight in his words and authority in all his actions.

The work of the life underwriter becomes immeasurably easier as he grows NEXT WEEK .. .

Next week's issue of the Vestriik will be devoted, for the most part, to the reo ,fired pre-convention reports of offi e ers of the Supreme Lodge, SPJST. It may be necessary to omit some of the regular material in order to get these reports into one issue . Having them all in one issue will make it more convenient for the delegates to the convention as a source of reference.

—(Editor

older . His major effort is with people he has known for years — his policyholders, their children and their grandchildren. That is, his friends. His name is a household word. Therefore, he has no prospecting problems.

His prospects may not always buy as he suggests. But they always listen to what he says. Therefore, he has no problem of getting real interviews.

What extraordinary advantages!

What ever-richer opportunities as the life underwriter grows older!

Is there any field where the sun shines so brightly and so long?

"His head was silvered o'er with age, and long experience made him sage." o

,-Gray (1685-1732) •

Some years ago a man took a ride through a suburb of a city with an old life underwriter past age 75. They parsed a home where a young woman was sweeping her porch. The old man said "That is my home." The other thought little of it until a few minutes later they passed a home where three children were playing. He said, "Those are my children."

Farther on they saw an old man sitting in his yard. "That is my old man," remarked the insurance 'underwriter. He saw the bewilderment in the face of his friend.

"I cslled that my home," he exnl e luerl. "for, that girl's husband is dead, but a policy I wrote paid off the morte'e7e. Those are m y children. because there is a policy that guarantees each a home and an education. And that is my old man, because a policy I wrote 40 years ago has made him barmy and contented today.

"So I feel I have earned the right to call them my people " Thus is epitomized a lifetime of soul-satisfying labor. That situation is today multiplied by thousands and thousands.

Wednesday, April 15, 1964 "The road winds up the hill to meet the height, Beyond the locust hedge it curves from sight — And yet no man would foolishly contend That when he sees it not, it makes an end."

•

•

Of course, to gain the benefits of the yeas of labor, there are two factors that must be kept in mind — there are two rules you must follow: 1. You must give honest counsel to' your clients every hour of your working days. In no calling is this more im-• portant. There can be no sharp practices — no selling merely to gain the most commissions. The prospect's interest must be paramount — always.

2. And you must keep up-to-date in your reading and study. Great things are happening. To earn your right to choose between retirement and happy employment, you must know what is taking place and have a part in it.

For it was said long ago, "Men are like trees; they start dying at the top."

PRECONVENTION REPORT OF THE PUBLICATION COMMITTEE OF THE SPJST

Houston, Texas March 31, 1964 The publication committee held meetings, not regularly but were called when necessary. The first meeting after the ,convention was held February 9, 1961; second meeting january 17, 1962. Both meetings were held in Taylor, Texas, in the presence of the late editor, Brother L. 0. Hosek, who passed away October 25, 1962, with services held in West, Texas, October 27, 1962. Two members of the publication committee, Sister Frances Olexa and Brother Rudolph Troubil, attended the funeral. Brother Chairman Paul Sablatura due to unforeseen circumstances, could not attend. Immediately after the services, President of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Ed. L. Marek called a meeting at West, Texas, with the Supreme Lodge officers and the directors of the SPJST and the two members of the publication committee, to decide what steps should be taken due to the loss of our editor. After mature deliberation, it was agreed to place an ad in the Vestnik for three consecutive weeks for the editor's position.

Brother Jos. Holasek, publisher, and Brother Jerome Kapecky, voluntarily offered to take upon themselves all obligations in connection with editing the Vestnik, until a new editor was elected. This offer was graciously accepted with thanks by the Supreme Lodge.

At this meeting it was agreed that the .deadline for receiving applications would be November 22, 1962, and mailed to the 'Supreme Lodge. After receiving an invitation to be present at the Supreme Lodge, the publication committee accepted and was present when 'seven applications for editor were opened and deliberated on. Out of the seven applications Brother Nick

13 Morris, our present editor, was unanimously elected.

On November 25, 1962, Brother Chairman Paul Sablatura called a meeting of the publication committee at Temple, Texas, to meet our newlyelected editor, Brother Morris. At that time we had an opportunity to meet a young man, energetic. and full of willingness to learn, but with no journalistic experience. He assured the committee he would do his utmost to fulfill the required obligations if the opportunity will be given to prove him self. Satisfied with his enthusiasm and good will, the committee accepted this with confidence and belief that Brother Nick Morris will become a good editor of our Vestnik in the future, The first issue of the Vestnik was 'edited by Brother Morris the first week in December 1962. After three months the committee realized it was necessary for Brother Rudolph Troubil, member of the committee to get in personal contact with the editor to adjust a few problems. After this meeting signs of improvement were considerable, and it was evident that our editor finally realized the meaning of why our SPJST issues the Vestnik for its membership. The opinion of the committee is that our Brother Nick Morris serves us well in the capacity as editor and we hope he ,does so for a long time.

In 1961 the publication committee discontinued advertising "P o 1 k a Dances" in our Vestnik. The reason was because many competitive private enterprizes were advertising free of charge. The present entertainment calendar serves only our SPJST lodges, free of charge. Any other private enterprise must have a paid ad.

In 1901 two letters were rejected for publication in our Vestnik because the contents were questionable. Since then, up to March 14, 1964, very few letters were passed on by the committee, and by omitting a few words or a sentence the letters were printed.

In 1963, on numerous urgent requests, the story "Osudy Dobreho Vojaka Svejka," was discontinued and replaced. This story was issued in many languages and was very popular, but our membership wished otherwise.

Therefore, the committee ordered the story discontinued.

On March 14, 1964, our last meeting was called by the chairman and all three members were present, the editor, and the president of the Su-

TN

14 preme Lodge. At this meeting in Taylor, Texas, we prepared our preconvention report for the TrGth convention of the SPJST, Furthermore our committee recomMends that the publication committee hold regular annual meetings and receive per diem and mileage as a committee member.

We also recommend that for the future our Vestnik feature two front pages. No matter which way you may hold your Vestnik the front page, Czech or English, would be facing the reader. The publisher, Brother Jos. Holasek, assured the committee no increase in the price of publishing the .Vestnik would be involved, More work with this type of arrangement is expected but Brother Jos. Holasek is willing to please the membership if so desired.

With this, we, the committee, conclude our Preconvention report and wish our forthcoming 19th convention in Waco; Texas, future success.

Fraternally, Paul Sablatura, Pres.

Frances Olexa, Sec'y.

--SPJST-A man of 60 has spent more than three years of his life eating, according to novelist Arnold Bennett. This provides food for thought. How many days has his wife spent cooking for him? With all of today's conveniences - both mechanical and edible - the homemaker is probably less kitchenbound today han at any time since man discovered fire to make food more palatable,

LODGE NG. 39 OSVETA, KOVAR Dear Brothers and Sisters: It's about time to write something to the Vestnik.

We have lot a member again: Mrs. Josephine Matocha We have lost quite a few members the past few years.

We had one sick member in the hospital in Taylor: Mrs. Frances Kubicek.

I hope she is well again and at home.

One of our members is in the Smithville Hospital: Julius Kalina had been in there for some time and I have heard he will be able to go home soon.

Two of our members had bad luck as they drove through the pasture to tend their cattle; the truck struck a stump and Bro. John Adamcik went through the windshield and out his face. He was with his son, Benno.

Mrs. Rosie (Novak) Reid passed away about two weeks ago . Her husband died eight days before her. Rose had cue daughter, Mrs. Pauline Szblitzkus of Houston, and one brother in. SMithville, Adolph Novak. My sympathy to you, Pauline.

I guess everybody has some kind of trouble or sickness in their family.

Lawrence Zimmerhanzel of Smithville passed away two or three weeks ago. Two of his sons are our members.

He Ired to be our member. So that's the way it goes in this world, The Easter holidays are in the past for another year.All kinds of good things were baked and we all helped the Easter bunny color eggs.

Sister Frank Stepan spent her Easter holidays in Houston with her grand-

VESTNIK

Wednesday, April 15, 1964 daughter and her family. I also spent the holidays in Houston. I enjoyed my stay, but I still wouldn't give country life for the rush and noise of the city.

It is so nice and quiet when you get home.

It looks like we are getting winter weather back. I hope the fruit doesn't .freeze. You can't tell about this Texas weather.

Members, why don't you all come to the meetings more often, have a little talk over a cup of coffee and kolaches?

I hope Bro . Barina will tell us in the meeting about the district meeting in Dime Box. That convention is creeping closer and closer. That's why we'd like for you ail to come to the meetings and tell us what you want to see accomplished for the good of our lodges.

I looked at the calendar and next month is Mother's Day. We should have a get-together, or maybe it would be better to leave it for Father's Day. On Mother's Day every mother has her children at home and likes to stay with, them as much as she can Come to the meeting and let's talk about it.

I guess I'll end this and get my breakfast and get ready for work.

Remember to come to the meetings more . May God bless all of you, espespecially those sick members; may they get well again.

Lillie Evicic, Reporter â&#x20AC;&#x201D;SPJSTLODGE NO. 54, WEST Dear Sisters and Brothers: Our meeting last Sunday opened with the Pledge of Allegiance, led by three Youth Club girls.

First, Brother Cervenka recognized the visitors who were Brother Alvin and Sister Wilma Nesuda of Ennis, Brther and Sister Rudolph Zalman of Lodge 35, and Brother John and Sister Ruth Krizan of Cottonwood Lodge No 6.

Minutes cif the previous meeting were read and approved as read.

Then came the discussion as to when we should have our celebration of the remodeling of our hall. We have the date set for April 26th, but this is the same date that the District Three Meeting will be held in Dallas. Some members wanted to change the date, while other members wanted it left as it is, so after some debate it was left on the 26th. We will serve supper and have a dance at night with a good band to entertain you. We hope to see

a nice crowd at this celebration on April 26th.

Our Easter dance was a success and everybody had a nice time On the sick list was Brother John Kostohryz who soffered a light stroke and is in the Veterans Hospital in Marlin. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Since Brother Kostohryz is our Financial Secretary and is not able to do the work now, Brother Joe Mazanec accepted the job for the time being.

Brother Cervenka thanked Brother Mazanec for helping out.

The visitors each made a short talk.

Brother Nesuda spoke and said he would like to see as many as possible to represent our lodge at the district meeting. Brother Rudolph Zalman of Lodge 35 also made a brief talk. Brother Krizan spoke breifly and asked the delegates for their support as Directors of District Three. Brother Cervenka is not running for the position; he held this office 40 years.

Brother Cervenka. thanked t h e visitors for coming and we hope to see all of you again at some of our meetings.

The various committees hope volunteer workers will come to help on the celebration date, because there is always much to do on such occasions.

So, don't forget the date of the celebration, April 26th . Hope to see a nice crowd at the supper and dance.

Our next meeting is postponed to the second Sunday in May, which is May 10th. See you then.

Fraternally, Bennie Soukup, Reporter SPJSTWACO

Dear Youth Club Members, Gee! was that a surprise for me Sunday when the boys and girls of both the Teen and Junior Clubs called me to their meeting. They started to sing "Happy Birthday" to me and the President of each club, Bobbie Dobecka and Johnnie Krizan, each presented me with a gift. I was so surprised and happy I cried . I was so busy working all week that I didn't know my birthday was so close.

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart and I appreciate it very much. I hope I can surprise you all with something one day.

I am proud of that beautiful SPJST Star that Brother Ed Smajstrla drew nd painted. That is something to be proud of.

I think our hall looks very pretty the way it's fixed . Thanks to all the members and non-members who came and worked hard to get it finished.

Our lodge should have open house on Mother's day, but it will be difficult for some of us mothers to make it since most of us have our children and grandchildren coming home on that day. I guess that will be all for today, so again I thank all the members of both clubs and Youth Leaders and assistants for the beautiful gifts.

Thank you, Sister Mary Lander, for that beautiful birthday cake you made me. It sure was delicious and it was very nice of you.

The president then, asked for. _any

new business. The new business was to elect a "Miss SPJST" candidate to represent our lodge. The Teen Club members elected Ruthie'Schuetz for their candidate.

After the new business we had a guest, Mrs. Nesuda. She talked to us about what "Miss SPJST" had to do.

Our agricultural exports to Latin America increased from the 1935-39 average of $46 million to a $448 million average for 1950-54. Last year's exports were valued at $485 million; a third of this was under Food for Peace.
