FROM THIS, THAT, AND THE. OTHER Ole' Man Winter is getting in his last licks, but there are those of us who are convinced that spring is here — or almost here. One of the great joys that your editor experiences in traveling to our various lodges and occurring at this time of the year, is the multitude of wildflowers, veritable seas of beauty, soon to be seen along some of Texas' highways. In just a week or so an annual wonderland of beauty will be blooming along our highways the length and breadth of our state.

•

•

Someone may dis pute this but one of the prettiest stretches of highway in this respect is the drive south from Milano toward Caldwell, and particularly between Caldwell and Somerville.

The Texas Highway Department maintains more than 800,000 acres of rightelf-way along our 00,0100-mile state highway system. More than 500 varieties of flowers add to our motoring pleaisure during springtime. h`. you haven't taken to the highways on a lazy Sunday afternoon during spring, be sure and do so this year. You're missing so much. Nature beckons, it calls; it wants to share its lush beauty with you. The Brenham area is the heart of the Bluebonnet flower, our State Flower. I'm sure this floral beauty inspired the folks at our newest

AN3 Life is a game with a glorious prize, If we can only play it right.

It is give and take, build and break, And often it ends in a fight; But he surely wins who honestly tries Regardless of wealth or fame, He can never despair who plays it fair— flow are you playing the game?

Do you wilt and whine, if you fail to win In the manner you think your due?

lodge, Lodge Bluebonnet No. 169, to name their lodge after it.

This annual springtime "flower show" is really something to see, and every Texan should enjoy this dazzling display of Nature's handiwork. Watch for this color orgy during the next few weeks. A few of the more familiar and most-readily recognized wildflowers include the coreopsis, paint brush (or "Indian Blanket"), phlox, NEW SPJST DIRECTORY IN THIS ISSUE

standing cypress, sage, verbena, primrose, blue-edged grass, foxglove, and a number of the daisies species. Don't miss them this year. It is difficult to understand the driver or passenger who drives through the spring countryside and who remains oblivious to the beauty of Nature that abounds on all sides. It's all for free, tao.

The new SPJST Family Plan of insurance protectain makes both the present and the future more secure for the entire family. Few fathers have all the life insurance they need; still fewer families have enough protection on the mother and children. Our SPJST Family Plan provides the entire family with protection. For new families, this means a firm foundation upon which to build a sound program ,cif farn'y security. For established families, it is an excellent way to strengthen existing protection.

• • Briefly, here's how the plan works: Most of the protection is on the father. This is a whole life certificate which builds important cash and retirement values. (Double Indemnity and Waiver of Premiums may be added for a few extra pennies). If Payor waiver is added, and the father dies before age 65, all protection then in force on the rest of the family continues in force without any further payment of premiums, as defined in the Payor Rider.

the saying, "you don't misG water 'til the well ,zoos dry," low people are ;ifully aware and apprcci :it/J mother's strictly economic value. _fl:omehow, we take them for granted. Yet, stop for a moment and ponder the suious diFificuities and problems that would result in the event oL her death, particularly where small children are involved. It's not pleasant; but it's a ",act of life." With our sp s . r Family Plan, a small, but still substmutial part of the protection is on th e. mother's life. The low cost term insurance continues to her age C5, if to.r. father is still living. If he dies, it terminates at his death UNLEFIF, the Fayor Eider was applied for and is in elect at the time of his death, and in this event, her protection continues to age 65. At that time, it can be converted to atop form c',i permanent imurance without a medical examination for the face amount.

0 • Under this plan, each child, including step-children and legally adopted children, who are under 21 at the time the protection is purchased, is included. ALL CHILDREN PORN OR ADOPTED LATER ARE COVERED UNDER THIS PLAN WITIT NO ADDITIONAL COST IN PREMIUMSi. No matter how big your lanaily grows, premium costs remain the same. Nice feature, isn't it? Each child is protected in the amount of f1,000 if the father is Protected for $2,5011; for X2,.000 if the father is protected for $5,000. This is term insurance to age 21, or to father's age 65, whichever comes first. The child is covered ,from the d:;p he or she is 15 days old. When the child becomes 21, he has the option of converting to a permanent plan of insurance three times the ori ginal amount, without a medical examination. Finally, a Double Indemnity feature can be added at 13 cents a month, of , 1.51 ocr year per each $1,C ,00 of coverage on eny and all certificates.

• That's it in a nutshell. For farther details and information, check with your local SPJST lodge organizer. If you don't know who that might be, write or call the District Organizer of your district, listed on page 2 of every issue of the Vestnik. This plan, as are all our plans, is worthy of careful inspection. Find out about it. Compare.

You'll be glad you did.

Wednesday, April 7, 1965 The story is told of a band of Brazilian shepherds who once organized a party to go to California in search of gold. For the trip, and to while away the time, they took along a number of translucent pebbles with which to play checkers. After they arrived in ;gam Francisco, and after having discarded most of the pebbles, they discovered they were genuine diamonds. They hurried back to. Brazil where they had found the pebbles, only to discover that the mines from which the pebbles had come had been sold to the government.

Frustrating? Certainly.

So many of us have not yet learned that our "great business is not to see and seek what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand."

In other words, gold is found oftentimeji right in our own backyard.

Trouble is though, we often forget to look there. Uncounted numbers of men and women have sold farms and estates and given up good positions and homes to seek "fortune elsewhere," because they were so sure that if they changed their present situation, they could succeed.

The richest gold and silver mine in Nevada was sold for $42 by the owner, to get money to pay his passage to other mines where he thought he could get rich. The world has seen one man after another flail miserably while in quest of success somewhere else. Others, by grasping opportunities when they came, have made fortunes out of "trifles" which others, in their wild quest for riches, had overlooked.

There is power and fortune lying latent all about us, waiting for the eye that can see and the mind that can utilize. We tread hopelessly upon the lids of great secrets of nature, easily discoverable to the watchful eye, and which would help all mankind along in the upward path of civilization.

• So it is with our SPJST insurance.

When you start looking elsewhere for better insurance coverage, you've already looked too tar. The "gold" is right in your own backyard.

A very special occasion took place at the SPJST Rest Home on Sunday, Mareh 21st. Brother Josef Wychopen, celebrated his 90th birthday, and was awarded an Eridewinent Voucher by Secretary eh the Supreme Lodge, SPJST, Raymond Urbarloysky, and Sup! pine Lodge l residcut k Edward LI. Marek. Brother Iviarek spoke briefly to the many assembled members of the family and friends of Bro. Wychopen.

He stated that Bro. Wychopen was thp ninth living member tp receive an Endowed Certificate at age 96. (Other pictures and Czech article appear in this week's Czech section. — Editor).

Josef Wychopen was born March 14, 96 years ago near Fayetteville. He married the late Jennie (Konvicka) Wychopen. Shortly after their marriage, he bought a farm together with his other brothers, John, Louis, and brother-in-law Frank Rek, and all of them built homes on their property near Hillje in Whatron County.

Not too long after these families settled in the Hillje area, they were instrumental in organizing SPJST Lodge No. 40, in Hillje with 18 other members, and built a nice lodge hall. Brother Wychopen donated the land on which the building was situated. He had a grocery business adjacent to the hall, where the only drink served was soda pop, during the Prohibition Period. He also bought hay and rice for the government and shipped ft to towns around the state in railroad cars. The railroad tracks and depot were situated directly across the street from his business, and this made it handy.

Shortly after, the lodge prospered and a new hall was built, which serves the needs of the lodge to this day.

Meetings are held there, picnics, dances, etc, are held at he hall. The lodge has over GOO members.

Guests attending the 96th Birthday party of Brother Wychope Rest Home, came gravely ill, he took her to Kerrville to several doctors, but all medical help was in vain. She died shortly after, and was buried in Fayetteville. Josef Wychopen moved to Sagerton in Haskell County where he lived for two years. While in Sagerton, he married Miss Anna Dubil, a native of Granger, and they moved back to Hillje, settled on a farm there and lived there 10 years. When their son Arnold died

with the flu in 1919 while in the US Army in San Antonio, he sold his business, quit farming, and the entire family moved to Taylor. After 11 years there, they moved back to Efillje, where they had previously built a nice home on the property adjoining the SPJST hall.

A son, Arnold, was born to the first marriage, and a daughter, Julia, who later married William Dubil, and they

His many relatives and friends wish Brother Wychopen the best Of health, and extend their heartiest congratulations to him on his 96th birthday.

Please send me the NAME, AGE, TALENT and LODGE NO. of the child to be on the program (address below).

We need this information as soon as possible; it will enable us to put the program over with less confusion and more speed.

We will also make final plans for our District Seven, 1965, camping program,

Wednesday, April 7, 1965 so come on out. Let's enlarge our district youth program.

Don't read this and lay it down. Pick up your telephone and call a child that you think might be on the program.

Children just need a little encouragement. Let's give them a boost.

Fraternally, District 7, Youth Director Mrs. Maxine Pavliska, Route 2, Box 151, Floresville, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D;SPJST--LODGE NO. 92, FORT WORTH The next regular meeting of Lodge Svaz Cechoslovanu No. $2, will be held on April 11, 1965, beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Call your friends and bring them to our lodge as your special guests. Remember, it starts Thursday, April 8th, and will continue every Thursday night thereafter. The lodge belongs to you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; support it.

Fraternally yours, Social Night Committee Lodge No. 88 -zSPJb"iTO ALL LODGES IN DISTRICT IV: At our meeting in Temple on March 6. the rules were set up pertaining to the Youth Camp.

The last convention appropriated funds and these will not be distributed to the lodges, but to the districts as a whole. This money will not be given to the districts unless a camping or recreational area is visited. A lodge does not have to have a Youth Club for the children to participate in this program. If you have been reading the Vestnik the rules have been printed. This program will take lots of planning: how many want to go, where they want to go, what time of the year they want to go, etc. We will need one chaperone for every 5 children. I will have to have each lodge's opinion on what their wishes are. Remember, if our District IV does

not take part in this program the money will stay in the fund, and next year the money will be divided again.

If you have as many as 5 youths who are interested in a Youth Club you can organize a Youth Club. This year there are 5 money prizes on the Point System. District IV has only one lodge which is receiving the money that is set up for this program. In the past, it was $30. In 1965 it will be $50, since we will have 5 prizes: 1st prize, $15; 2nd prize $12.50; 3rd prize $10; 4th prize, $7.50, and 5th prize, $5. I'm sure you have youth in your lodge who could use this money. You need to get busy and elect a youth leader and organize a Youth Club, and the youth would enjoy good recreation.

Summer will be here soon and it will be time again for our contests and Youth Activity Day. Be thinking about taking part since we will have nice money prizes again. if you have any questions contact me or Mr. Jim Kucera. Let's wake up and keep up with the other six districts.

I'm hoping to hear from all 10 lodges pertaining to the camping this summer for the youth, whether you wish to take part or not.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, It's about time to write a few lines to the Vestnik. Not many attended our last meeting, but I'm sure those who did attend enjoyed the coffee and lunch. Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Matejka were our visitors. Sister Matejka is our District Leader, and she explained a number of things pertaining to the youth to us. I wish all of you could have heard her talk. She stressed the prizes and credits the young folks can win in the various contests. All of you come to the next meeting and Bro. Ba.rina will explain it all to you.

There will be an Easter Egg Hunt after our next meeting for the little ones. Mothers, get those baskets ready.

After the hunt, we will have lunch, so don't forget April 11th.

We lost another good member recently: Joe Janca of Luling. Our sympathy is extended to his family. I hope Sister Agnes Susen is recovering from the car wreck she had. Mrs. Frank Zurovec had to be taken to he hospital, and a week later her husband Frank. However, both are home now.

Sister Theresa Vyvjala IS in the hospital. We wish them all a speedy recovery.

This weather is good for pasture. land, but not good for one's health.

That flu is really no joke. I can't seem to get rid of it.

Don't iforget the April meeting and the Easter Egg Hunt. Bro. Kalina will make some good coffee again. See you all then.

Dear Sisters and Brothers: They said spring is here, but not to my notion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not this last week's weather. Most of us farmers are sitting on the edge of our chairs wondering when in the world we will be able to get into the fields. I suppose the good Lord knows what he is doing and maybe it's for the best, and it always gets done sometime. I hope by this time ne t week we will have some good old sunshine to "burn" out all the sickness that has been around.

We will hold our regular meeting this coming Sunday, April 11, at 1:30.

Members, please come and be with us.

We had quite a few at the last meeting and that made us all feel good.

At our last meeting it was announced we had an increase in insurance and membership, which shows some one was at work and we are happy to have these new members. They are Edward Klinkovsky, Larry Lee Mikeska, Lance Garrett Grimsley, Lewis Wesley Grimsley, Travis Dale Grimsley, David L. Bedrick, James C. Jez, Jr., and Janet Kay Jez..

Wednesday, April 7, 1965 Perhaps next month we can announce even more.

We also had a good many members on the sick list. There are always several people sick in the months of February and March. Now with April coming, we'll all be well. I hope all of you who have been sick are up and about.

Most of you know that Gil Baca is the son of Ray Baca, who for many years played for our lodge dances. Gil plays the piano and has been leading his own band for the past several years. He started his musical career playing in his father's band, then became a member of the popular Hank Thompson Western Band. He played in this orchestra for four years, touring every state in the United States and Canada. The past few years Gil has made Houston his home and now plays at several night clubs in Houston and nearby cities.

There are very few musicians who

VESTNIK

12 have the varied musical background, ability and experience that Gil has accumulated. The music with his father's orchestra gave him a mastery of the Czech polka and waltz music. He later became versatile with the western-type music playing in the Hank Thompson group and then moved to San Antonio where he obtained a good background in the Latin American style music. His present type of music makes him one of the few orchestras that can adapt their style to the dancers' desires. Gil, as well as his father Ray, are members of the SPJST. Gil gave us a fraternal helping hand at our Lodge Opening, Feb. 21st, by playing in the afternoon FREE OF CHARGE. Let's show popular Gil our sincere appreciation for his help to our lodge by coming Saturday night, April 10th, and dance to his wonderful music.

Facts Around Lodge 88: Members are still wondering about the dance posters that were destroyed by some member during our opening celebration.

It seems that a ,female was the cause of tearing them down. I wonder who?

which I'm sure all of you kiddies are really looking forward to. last meeting was held Sunday, March 21, and it was a pleasure to see such a nice attendance. We had 73 members present.

We held our annual initiation of new members, and honoring those who obtained additional insurance. The meeting was called to order at 3:30 p.m. and after much discussion of various business matters, all members joined hands in a circle to welcome all the new members. To all you new members, may we say "Welcome" to the big family of Lodge 84. We are very happy to have you and we do hope you enjoy being one of us.

After the meeting the lodge sponsored a delicious supper of veal cutlets, potato salad, slaw and hot rolls, free to all the new members and their families. May we say "thank you" to all you good sisters who worked so hard preparing all this food, and also thanks to all the good ladies who brought all that delicious pastry. It is so nice to know we can always count on you.

I would also like to mention that the lodge is planning another membership picnic in June. I am sure all of you remember the wonderful time all of us had last year, so start making plans now to attend. The date is June 6th and there will be many more details announced on this later, so keep watching the paper.

I would like to remind you of our lodge meeting this coming Sunday, April 11, at 4 p.m. There will be a delicious supper after the meeting, served by Bro. Bill and Sis. Rudy Gaiser.

This should remind all you new members to, come to the meeting because there is always a Sunday night supper served after each meeting. This gives all a chance to have a very inexpensive meal, plus having a chance to get better acquainted.

Dear Youth Leaders: In about three weeks we will have our Easter holidays. We hope that in addition to the usual Easter Egg hunts, that each active youth club prepares, that some of • you will take advantage of an opportune holiday and prepare some nice program. We mailed out a lot of literature and would appreciate it if you will put h to some good use, or let us know later if some more upto-date material would be useful. Let's not forget what a wonderful program you can have if you think and start preparations for a Mother's Day prograin now, and before school is out for a Father's Day celebration, or better yet, combine them as one big event.

Do this before you start pasking for that big .fishing trip over to uncle's or grandpa's place.

Spring is here and it won't be long before the big vacation of 3 months.

Join and be active in an SPJST Youth Club so you may enjoy your vacation as never before. For all this and more, see your local youth leader.

The players form a close circle and bend forward from the waist, crossing the hands on the back, right hand on top of the left, and palms up. The leader gives the "billie" or pesek to one of the players. He then goes around the circle, placing the billie in a player's hand whose palms are open and who is not peeping. The player who receives the billie then tries to grasp hold of it while straightening himself out. He proceeds to "whip" the player on his right while chasing him around the circle. The trick is to place the billie in a player's palm without the player on his right having any inkling as to what is going on. If that player notices where the billie has been placed he will prematurely start running before you can get in a "lick'." As in all games peeping or "fudging" spoils the fun.

An alert and fast runner doesn't get whipped too much. The leader must enforce the rule that the licks land on the "po-po" and not on other parts of the body. Boys can get pretty rough in this game. Watch 'em!

"Hide and Seek" With a Medicine Ball This game can be played after some other more strenuous game. All players sit on the floor. They sit pretty close together, bring their knees lup so that you can put either arm underneath.

Lift both feet high enough to pass the medicine ball to the next player. A selected player starts the game by running on the outside of the seated players trying to spot the ball being passed by the players and who try to keep him from seeing it. The faster the ball is passed the harder it is for the outside "spotter" to see or tag the ball. If he does succeed in spotting and tagging the ball, the player caught with it exchanges places with him and the process is repeated. Rules: The ball must stay on the floor and is pushed from one player to the next. If the ball lands outside the ring and is not spotted or tagged by the chaser, any player can get it and bring it back into the game. The ball must not be thrown or pushed across the open ring.

A wise man once said, "The way to make friends is to treat people well.

The way to, lose friends is to treat them often."

Individuals who knock themselves out entertaining, gifting and catering to people feel inadequate. They are using the bankroll to solidify friendships — and it never works.

Preacher of Purgatory From 1879 to 1899, the Rev. L. A. Garrison was a circuit-riding revivalist working out of Driftwood, Hays County.

He preached in almost every community in Hays, Blanco, Travis and Burnet Counties, hut his favorite was a litle settlement near Dripping Springs. , Its name: Purgatory,

School Daze Drinking is required of every student at one of Texas' most unique schools.

It's a school for wine tasters operated

by Nieman-Marcus. Students pay $30 to attend six classes in the wine cellar of a downtown hotel. The fee includes all of their school "supplies."

SAUSAGE SUPPER & DANCE

You hardly ever meet an ex-Pearl drinker.

Pearl holds its customers longer than any other beer. The reason's as plain as the smile on a Pearl drinker's face: it's better beer because it's brewed to the famous Spring Water Formula from the Country of 1100 Springs. Got plenty?

Slunieko zapadlo a otevtenYmi dvetrni i okenkem padaly sem mdle jeho posledni paprsky.

Cimbura spattil stareho, sedkeneho, 'Apatne '2iveneho a ,hledeneho kone.

Zlost a litost soueasne vstoupily mu do srdce. Zlost platila jen vapeniku, litost koni. Ten tu stal neteene, oei ptivtene, nohy poklesle, hlavu sveSenou — a tak tu stal i jeho majitel, start', scyrklk, na kost a kiAi vyschlk vapenik. Cimbura obratil se k nemu — ostrou iirteitku mel uz na jayku; ale jak spattil tu smutnou, vraseitou tvat, jak pohledel do tech bojacnkch, plachYch oei, spolkl vYeitku, ulehla v nem zlost a litost pienesla se i na toho starce zde.

"Odstkojime kone ulehei se mu," navrhl Cimbura a hned s Janem k nemu ptistoupili a chapali se chatrneho postroj e.

"File, je to hiebec," podotkl Jan, stahuje mu podocasnik.

"Ano, htebeeek je," kSival vapenik, "ale dobrY jako dite, kuteti neubli2i, bat se ho nemusite."

"Kdo by se ho ball" urakn nakvakne odpovidal mladk sedlak, "neni mu do Z"ertu — hnout se nem0e." Ale Cimbilra mleel, jako hrob mleel a race rozpinajici podpenku a podhtibetnik znatelne se chvely. Koneene semen z picezky vytahl, temeni i s postranky po koni ke krku shrnul a na jeho vychrt1ST htbet se podival.

V srsti eernala se mu poveclom.a skvrna. Mezi tisici by ji Cimbura poznal, jedine jedno zvite ji melo — a to byl jeho milovany-, nezapomenutelnk kun — Beldeek. Ke hlave skoell Cimbura a odklopil mu ptimhoutene vieko. Mrtve, bile oko, vyhasle, vyloupnute objevilo se v neeistem delku.

"Belaeku mnj, me zvite zlate — jak se to spolu shledavame," nahle hlasite, prudce zaolakal Cimbura, padl koni na krk a hlavu zabotil do jeho vy.

Jako zkamenelk. stal Jan s chomoutern v ruce, jako sloup stal vapenik — take kfin ani se nepohtnul, tupe, bez hnuti stal, pouze s nohy na nohu preSlap".

V tom hroznem, zoufalem tichu pr yni ozval se °pet sam Cimbura. Odtrhl se od kone a pfistoupil k vapenikovi, kde a jak jste k tomu koni

"Marengo iikali mu na vojne," vzponanel si Jan. Ale Cimbura neslySel. Kroutil vechet z ovesne slamy a struene porueil: "Dones putYnku vody." Narnoeil vechet a poeal tilt Bela.eka. Noby mu ttel, zada i piece. "Bidne, ach bidne to krmili," nafikal, kdy2 ucitil pod rukou vystoupla, 'Zebra.

"Nemejte za zle, panta,to," uznal za dobre omluvit se vapenik. "Bida je zlk host, dokud jsem mei ja, mel i trpim ja, musi trpet i kun — citil jsem, 2e to s nim jde s kopce; ale piece na cestu jsem se vydal. Pisecko neni muj kraj, dal na Taborsko jezdivame, ale volky nevolky musili jsme se vrati k domovu a brat vesnice na zdaf Bizh, jak na ceste 101, abychom hladem nezaili. `Alespori tYden to vydrS', prosil jsem.

Srst lezla Beldekovi s tela, Spinava voda tekla s neho a Cimbura s Janem drhli ho dal. Kriri dr2e1 a zdalo se, jako by ze sve tupe lhostejnosti se probiral — i hlavu zvedl a obroku 0kusil, ale bez chuti, jako by sily v delistech nemel na o yes tyrdY jako broky.

"Dost", reki koneene Cimbura, kdy'Z' uS kti2e mileho zviiete byla eistou, ri1ovou, a pfines1 hound" a balil do nich stareho hi'ebce. "Vydr2i-li do rana, vojenskeho zverolekal'e z Pisku k nemu pfivedu — a ted' ho nechme na pokoji."

Sedlaci trousili se k Piksilm a nedali pokoje ani vapenikovi, ani Janovi, ba ani chudaku koni — a tomu nejmene.

Ustraknk stake znovu a znovu musil vypravet, jak ke koni pti gel, Jan znovu otvirati lat'ove dvefe a voditi

9 hosty k Belaekovi. KaWY, kdo spaUri ty trosky kone, zachvel se litosti.

Nejvic Frantik, je0 sem ptibehl z hospody u SrnkU, kde od hostit jaka vzacna naveteva k Piksum zavitala. Belaeek 2e se vratil. vSichni, ktere jako deti kun, kdy2 byval jeSte htibetem, po pastve nosival, prisli i vyslou2ili vojaci Kavalir a te Vaclav Sekyra — ten, kterY za 1361aekem projel na svem valachu Sikem pruskYch dragount, kyrysnikii i husari' — prisli ptivitat •Beladka i starg sedlaci i kovat se sedlakem a pastyrem. Kvtli hostu — konec postu.

Modre s nebe byli by mu snesli, jen kdyby Belaeek chtel. Nabizeli mu pici syrovou i suchou. KrehkY jetylek i vYborne seno.

"Jez, Beldeku, to je seno z Jirovky, vhlycky tak ti chutnavalo," domlouvali koni — "tohle vyrostlo `na utopene, eichni si aspori, jak voni, a chut' se ti sama dostavi," "hle, F3elaeku, seno s Postrihaeky, ye dvou dnech usug ene, ani jednou za kosou nezmoklo, drobne, jen se troll," tak prosili starcekone jako male dite, mazlili se s nim, domlouvali mu, laskominy &elan, pochoutky a mlsnoty sna geli a vychvalovali. . .

Ale hrebec stal s oeima zartadUnia, pod hounemi zdvihal se jeho ()stilt hrbet a vyshle kyele — chvilemi se zachvel a chraptive vzdychl.

"Meld" z posledniho," prvni vynesl nad nim ortel pan otec Roueek a ukazal na nohy. Ty jako by tuhnout poealy, natahovaly se, ocas od tela od staval, pysky se odchlipovaly, jazyk z dasni vypadl a Beldeek najednou, jakoby strelen, skacel se k zemi na slamu. Temna, rana, jako by balvan se zritil, zadunela chlevem. Popla genY' dobytek trhal se na retezich, teskne lolleei a kone bazlive a boja.cne rehtajice hledeli sem res ohrady syStch stani. V nemem tichu stall sedlaci a jen stlj vapenik zaplakal a hlasite zanarikal: "Jak se ted' dostanu s vozem dorntl?"

Ta otazka jako by tee vgechnem vratila. "Bud'te bez starosti," horlive ho hned "vapno si rozeberem, zaplatime a sprazdnS rm vozem domil vas dopravime — jsou sice ale etyrma, budete-li chtit, od nas pojedete — abyste na Putim nezanomnel."

"Skoete pro Cimburu," ozval se hias.

"Spat ho nechte, nevolejte ho, 1itost mu uspotte," prekrikovaly hned hlasy jine.

"Kam ho odklidime?"

"Ras ma na neho pravo."

"Rasu ho nevydame," prohlasil nyni struene, ale rozhodne laospodat. "U rids pod jabloni v sade lek jeho mama — klisna Divoka, co ji tatinkovi daroval neboZtik Kovanda z HradiSte, vedle ni at' leli i Belaeek."

"Budou s tim opletadky, komise ho bude chtit videt."

"Beru to na sebe," prohlasil starosta, "podej rye a motyky."

Ne2 zaSel k ranu mesieek, eerna zeme skryla slavneho hlebce, kterY podivnou nahodou pkiSel dornt zemtit.

Drnem znovu zarovnali jeho hrob, s jablone, ten rok plody obalene, pada. la rosa jako slzy, skrapejic osmahle Sije tine se rozchazejicich sedlakti II "Co to zvon? To ze putimskY zvon?" zastavil se na na ysi Chnbura, zdvihl hlavu a poslouchal, zdalo se mu, ze je puklY, nakkaplY, a chvilemi zas, 2e zni dute, jako by z pouheho Zeleza yL . .To se vracel od Piksu ze statku. Pied chvili pied svitanim tam be2e1, narue vtesu nesl, aby ytesem Belaeka znovu vydrbal, ale ptiSel, kdyg u2 sousede skladali pod killnu hromadku vapna, vyplaceli vapenikovi penize a Jant y eeledin zapkehal konelichaka, aby prazdnY vuz s vapnikem dopravil do eachrova.

"Do tiff drift to eekam nazpet, cestu zpateeni si pamatuj, ktini dobie nese, zpet pojedeS" na nem," promluvil hospodat a vnz se rozhreel.

Cimbura v ptitmi se ptikreil, beze slova vytratil se zpet na naves a zamitil k domovu.

"Tak uz je ponem," tekl mu vnittni hlas, "td ho jiste zakopali a jiste do sadu pod panenskou jablon." Due mu dela, zesmutnela, take ani zvon, yyzvanejici ranni klekani, nepoznaval, ani ptake v korunach stromusvitoricich si ne ySimal, ani volani dritbde neslyS'el a nevnimal. "Brach, larach, hrach," volal kaeer, ale volal marne, marne holubi vyletali z budnikt, nic, pranicouci nic nevidel Cimbura. Jakousi setrvaenosti veden, vie po pameti nakrmii, vyeesal a napojil dobytek — a Sel snidat.

"Copak ze nemluviA?" optala se ho tie Mad anka.

"Neni mi do feel — vS`ak se dozvig," odbYval ji mu2 — udelal ktik a s kosou na rameni ode§el na pole.

Ne na dva, ale na tti kroky giroke lady sekal Cimbura — sekal, ale na praci nemyslil — u Belaeka diely cky jeho myelenky. Vzpominal si na

neho, videl ho jako htibatko neohrabane klatit se dvorem, behat za detmi, ke Skole ehodit, na pastve se prohanet. . ivot pH torn mu na povrch I jeho 2 duSe ye vzpominkach vyplynui jako olej nad vodou. Jeho dvojeata mala — Va z,q k s Martinkem batoli se Piksovic dvorem; Jan s Frantikem a Verunkou honi se sadem — konik s nimi. Do chomoutu musil a tahat jako aroub se naudil. HrdinnY, nelekavY a nebojacnY kiln se z neho stal. Do ohne Sel, do hotici ho lesa stejne jako do vody se vrhl. Potom mu ho yzali na vojnu a dali pod sedlo. To byla jiste nejsmutnej gi doba Beldekova — i Puerto mu vzali, a praci zbyteenou konal — ale i tu konal &stn.& a slavne — on, selsky keit — jen mel stat u vozu a pluhu.

Stalo se jinak a nikdo za to nemohl. Jako trest nadeAla Belaekovi doba pondeni, jako 'gebrak putoval svete s yapenikem, kaZdY den videl jinou yes a stal na jinem stani. I nouzi poznal, hladu se jiste chudak natrpel, obroku zfidka okusil, sotva ,senem, nejcasteji holou slamou ho krmili a bie ucitil. Svedeily o torn krvi halite pruhy na jeho zadku — a to bylo Cinrburovi nejvice Tito. Proto na vapentka, zanevtel — slovem se s nim nerozloueil — na Beladka se nepoptal. Ale Stesti Beldeka neopustllo.

Umfit damn ptijel a to Cimburu VYS po obloze kthei slunce. 2have jeho paprsky bodaji jako steely.

"Zatracena, selska prace," ozvalo se za Cimburou. V pull seku kiesly Cimburovi race. Nedosekl, ale °brat ]. se na Paroubka. Poznal ho po hlase. — Paroubek, elovek-lenoch, ktery chodival do Vidne na praci, bud' na stavby podavat zednikiim anebo do cihelen. Letos na jate stonal a promeekal "saisonu" — protloukal se tedy u sedlaku a na 2 . ne ptijednal ho Cimbura.

Na neho ptisne oei uptel sedlak.

Vide', jak Paroubek rukavem stira, si pot a klati se s ostatnimi ke koSI, ze ktereho Marjanka vyndava, svaeinu. Peden chleba, nilZ" a hrnec Pomazanky. I Cimbura polal kosu a posledni usedl si k ostatnim na mez.

I on Hid sladkeho tvarohu si nabral a mleky pojidal. KdyZ vSichni dojedli, dojedl i hospodat a vstal. Z kapsy mechutinku vytahl, podal Pa-

Ve sttedu dne 7. dubna 1965 roubkovi mzdu za celY den a tekl mu s ledovYm klidem: "NedokYkej se kosy ani obili a odejdi s melt° pole v pokoji."

Sekde vyvalil na sedlaka oei: "Proe me vyhanite?" optal se vzdorne.

"KlejeS, brachu. Na svern poll toho netrpim. Selska prate je tvrda prace a vyZaduje trpelivosti, ktere nema,S. Koname tu svate dilo, kosime boZi dar, chleb nae vezdejSi, kterY Buh nam polehnal. My, sedlaci, modlime se na poll, aby Buh firody zemske dati a zachovati raeil — mocllime se, aby kaZdY, kdo z na geho 21.ta chleba poji, z naSi pSenky jidla okusi, aby se citil St'astnYm a spokojenYm, proto tteba pracovat radostne a ne se zlosti. Seber se a odejdi, abych to nevidel."

A Paroubek nemel odvahy se vzeptit. Jako spraskanY sebral kazajku a odplilil se s pole. Nikdo si ho neySimal, nikdo mu ruky nepodal, nikdo se s nim neloucil, jako by byl praSivinou stiFenY. "Hospodat se hneva," pomyslili si ostatni a mleky vraceli se k dilu. Odberaeky k seldenm — vazaely k hrstem a mandeltim.

"NeS"t'astny den mam dnes," rozjimal si dale Cimbura — "Spathe mi zaeal, jak asi skonei?"

Pot lil se mu z cela, promoeend koFile lepila se na telo, ale Cimbur sekal dal, necite se, neohldeje se — zahreel vlak na kolejich a pked putimskYm nadraZim prudce zapiskal.
