YOUTH: THE FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS (The following is a slightly abridged and edited text of a very fine address delivered by the Rev. Earl Johnson, S.J., at the District III Awards Banquet in Dallas on Sunday, April 24, 1966. By special request, we are presenting it here to the entire membership. — Editor).

•

First, let me state that I am thankful for the opportunity to address such an outstanding group of young Americans. Each older generation gives place to an upcoming younger generation. This has been the constant process of civilization down through the ages. Your fathers leave you a grand inheritance — an inheritance of freedom. But I am reminded here of the words of a great 18th century German poet, Goethe, "(who lived through a crisis of freedom himself).

He said to his generation: "What you have inherited from your fathers, earn again for yourselves, or 'it will not be yours." You must be aware of the fact that the freedOm which you inherited must be remade and re-earned in your generation just as it was in the generation of your parents.

Some of our most responsible leaders seem to doubt your ability to meet this challenge. I don't. They say that more worrisome to them than the space race, the missile lag, the foreign policy, and the budget is the worry: are Americans today -® undereducated,

overentertained, tossing easefully but restlessly in what Reinhold Niebuhr calls a state of "sophisticated vulgarity"? Are Americans today still capable of discharging their moral duty as citizens to their country and the world they live in? When they ask, will we realize that the very power and success of U. S. society demand more, not less, individual dedication from its citizenship? I think responsibility towards the latter (individual dedication) can best be summed up in the words of our late beloved President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in his inauguration address: "Ask not what your country can do for you -- but what you can do for your country."

This concern and worry has been stated increasingly in recent years, not in terms of security but of survival. In the long run, they agree, nothing but an intense national effort can halt the hugely purposeful assault on free civilization.

We are the free men of this universe, the children of liberty, the beneficiaries of unequaled abundance, and heirs of the highest, proudest political tradition ever known to man.

Our efforts seem to be to a great degree, defensive. This U.S. defensiveness comes from a "paralysis of will."

It is a matter of people forgetting that political freedom can be sustained only by continuing individual commitment.

Let us make no mistake about this.

The n a t u r al government of man is servitude. Tyranny is the normal pattern Of government. For freedom demands infinitely more care and devotion than any other political system.

It puts consent and personal initiative in the place of command and obedience by relying on the devotion and initiative of ordinary citizens.

If freedom means ease alone, if it means shirking the hard disciplines of learning, if it means evading the rigors and rewards of creative activity, if it means more expenditure on advertising than on education, if it means "bach,elor cooking and life adjustment" courses in our schools, and the steady cult of the trivial and the mediocre, if it means — worst of all — indifference or contempt for all but athletic excellence, we may keep for a time the form, of free society, but its spirit will be dead.

I believe we have had enough of adjustment, conformity, easy options, and the least common denominator in our system. The dreary failure in history of all classes committed to pleasure and profit alone, the vacuity (emptiness) and misery accompanying the sole pursuit of ease — the collapse of the French aristocracy, the corruption of imperial Rome — all these facts of history do not lose their point because the pleasures of today are mass pleasures and no longer en-

Wedrics(lay, June 0, 1966 joyments of an Oil e. If we become it nation of Bourbons, numbers won'tsave us. We shall go their way. A.T aellity and indifference are not redeemed by the fact that everyone can share In them..

We do not p into happiness. it is strenuously sought and earned. A nation glued to the television :screen is not simply at a loss before the. non pioneers of the new collective society.

It isn't even having a good time. No society has ever spent as much as we do on drink and tranquilizers. ,Can we argue that this is evidence of universal fun?

How are we to defend freedom if, for the tyranny of external control, we substitute the clattering, cluttering tyranny of Internal, aimlessness and fuss?

I doubt if any society in history has faced so. great 'd moral challenge as ours, or needed more desperately. to draw ore the .deepest source of courage and (lespoxisibility. Ours is the first human community in which resources are so abundant that almost no pollcies lie beyond our capacity for purely physical reasons. What we decide to do, we can do.

The ease of modern living makes your responSibility for wise decision greater, not less. In a century in which so many mentors of the public mind — from the psychiatrists to the ad men, who speak to us in terms of "what we owe to ourselves," may there not indeed have been a slackening of devotion compared with those days not 'so long distant when what man owes to God and his neighbor was a cornMon theme of public discourse, bOth oral and written?

The United States grew into a great and free society precisely because the .Hon Could always count on a wideinstinct among its citizens for .ii:T latating private moral conscience into public virtue, a virtite made operational by the citizen's action in the 'nation's life. At the moment this instinct is dangeroaslY weak. The resultant gulf between private conscience and public virtue cannot lie bridged by easeful living, snectatoritis, )r a let-George-do-if indifference. The let' this gulf becomes, the Isatrower is our margin of national survival. ;It you, the hat therl do? First, t;(i•,iCouncil of anew to the , mit and dedicai ytotn cause of freedom. Mould :yourself, a virtuous character. There is an old adge that says: "No one gives what he hasn't . got." Unless you possess high

Wednesday, June 8, 1966 principles, ideals, and convictions yourself in your own life, you won't be able to pass them on to others. You won't be able to transform the world about you.

True, you must strive for the "good life," but understand that the good life means much more than just comfortable suburban family living with all the material goods at your service.

The good life also includes a virtuous life with a set of Christian values to guide you in your living.

Preiare yourself for good family life. Your education right now is an important part of that process. You learn, not for the moment, but for life.

And the knowledge you acquire must be re-enforced with virtue.

Note the breakdown of family life in past history. This spelled doom for China and Rome. The family is the basic unit of society and a nation's strength is measured by the strength of its families. Are not we in danger today in America because of the breakdown of family life? Sex and materialism are not enough for happy family living. And yet you are beseiged by this on all sides. You must learn that sex has a definite place in God's plan for man; that it fits within the framework of marriage; that it is only a fraction of the total meaning of love. And to counteract materialism, you must learn to value the things of the spirit.

Secondly, be aggressive! Take the initative. You have got to become involved. You must realize that you are your brother's keeper. You must be aware of your responsibility in this regard. Keep abreast of the times.

Know what's going on in your country and in the world. The age of isolationism is over. "No man is an island.

Every man is part of the mainland — humanity itself." National boundaries are almost meaningless in an age when you can span continents by jetliners in a matter of minutes, and when vast oceans are no handicaps to missile warheads.

You face a great challenge. The future is in your hands. Thomas Paine once said: "These are the times that try men's souls." And Daniel Webster once said in his defense of the Declaration of Independence: "Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and my heart to this vote." These words could as well be addressed to you today. Both were defending FREEDOM. The youth of today needs the courage to be free. You are liberated from

VESTNf K the restrictions of childhood and not yet enslaved by the restrictions of adulthood. You can choose freedom no matter what the cost. Or you can decide that being free is too risky and too dangerous and that it is mulch safer and more comfortable to let other people and social forces make your decisions for you. It is during these fleeting years that you are given a chance to become permanently free.

The decisions you make and, more important, the decisions you do not 'Make, are going to determine the whole course of your life.

For a very brief period of time you are the master of your own destiny.

You can point your life in the direction you want it to go. You can decide that you are going to call your own signals and what you decide, you can do.

Enough has been said. More words would not help. The decisions of the next few months and years are your own. We will watch, we will pray, we will be concerned, we will listen, we will help you to whatever extent we can. If you choose to let the world pass you by, if you choose not to become involved, there is nothing much we can do to stop you. We will always be your friend, but if you choose to sink rather than swim, we will, as the years go on, come to pity you. If on the other hand, you choose for life and freedom, for 'God and country, for your own better self, well then, there are great days ahead. Thank you.

Reports UNCORRECTED MINUTES, SPRING MEETING, SPJST DISTRICT III Held at Lodge No. 84, Dallas, March 20th, 1966 (Delayed Several Weeks for Lack of Space) The spring meeting of SPJST District III was called to order at 10:15 a.m. by District III President Jerry Milan (154). The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Johnnie Pokladnik (84). A warm welcome was extended by Lodge 84 president, Brother Ben Jarma. A brief response was given by Brother Milan. A moment of silent tribute was paid those members of the district, who passed away since the fall meeting. Their names were read. Before the secretary began reading the minutes of the fall meeting, 1st vice president Rudolph Zalman (35) spoke in favor of reading an abbreviated version of the minutes, together with any corrections , and waive the reading of the entire minutes — all of this, of course, with the approval of the body.

After some discussion, it was decided to have the secretary, Brother Nick Morris, read the minutes in their entirety. Brother Morris suggested that in view of the length of the minutes, that he read portions of them at a time, then allow for any corrections up

Wednesday, June 8, 1966 to that point. Agreed. After one minor correction, the minutes were approved as read.

Correspondence was read from Supreme Lodge Secretary Urbanovsky regarding the question that had been raised at the fall district meeting relative to the reporting of interest earned on the District III Youth Camp to the Internal Revenue Service. Brother Urbanovsky reported that after a check with the Supreme Lodge Legal Adviser, BrOther August Kacir, that we NEED NOT report such earnings.

Letter was placed in the file. Another letter was read from Lodge 66 president, Brother Ed Mazanec, requesting that the District III YAD be held at Lodge 66. This was to be acted upon later. A card was also read from Brother and Sister Charlie Bartosh, Lodge 167, Penelope, expressing regrets at not being able to attend the district meeting due to another important cornmittment.

Treasurer Roman Parma gave his report. He reported that we had $1,784.68 in the District III Youth Fund.

— $77 more than last year. We have $444.80 in the District III Fund. Brother Parma stated that he would send out the first lodge dues notice in April, and the second one in June. Bills totaling $8.83 were submitted for payment, most of those being for telephone calls. Otto Hanus (66) made a motion that the bills be paid. Carried. Ben Jarma made a motion that the treasurer's report be accepted as read. Seconded by Vernon Woods (35).

Carri ed.

President Milan briefly explained the assessment of lodge dues for the district treasury: 5c per member over 16 years of age. He then introduced Supreme Lodge President Edward L. Marek, Secretary Raymond Urbanovsky, Financial Secretary Ben Zabcik, State Youth Director James Janousek, Director Sid Pokladnik, Editor Nick Morris, plus the wives of those who were present.

Brother Marek spoke. He regretted not having been at Lodge 84 for their 56th Anniversary celebration, and excused the absence of the other Supreme Lodge officers, stating that Brother Hejny was in Sweet Home for an important function there. He went on to say that 1965 was the best year on record for the SPJST, that we wrote over 6 million during 1965. Much of the credit goes to the organizers.

They are better prepared than they used to be. The year is not far off

Wednesday, June 8, 1966 when we will be writing 10, 15, and even 20 million dollars' worth of life insurance a year; it is not too far off when we will have around 20 million in assets, later even become a 50-million dollar asset corporation. There is a better understanding between the adults and the youth today. They have accepted our suggestions. The adults have willingly helped the youth. The Supreme Lodge is behind this task.

End of Brother Marek's remarks.

President Milan introduced the President of District II, Brother Frank Klinkovsky, and his wife, Irma, and Frankie, Jr. Director Pokladnik gave his report.

He stated that he would be glad to answer any question regarding District III as it may pertain to the Supreme Lodge. He said it was good to see the youth out in such numbers. "We still support Czech schools," he stated. He spoke in favor of reading the minutes in their entirety, which brings vividly to mind those matters that were discussed at the last meeting. Brother Pokladnik then elaborated on our SPJST chain of command, stating that the Supreme Lodge president was the "No. One Man," then gave the names of the other 12 members of the Supreme Lodge in order. He went on to say that we have over $44 million insurance in force, and 37,000 plus in members; 14 million plus in assets, a gain of over $600,000 in 1965. The SPJST Rest Home in Taylor still owes the SPJST approximately $93,000. The Board of Directors meet annually, and for special meetings, if necessary. The Rest Home has a 54-bed capacity.

There are no plans for expansion of the Taylor facilities. End of Brother Pokladnik's report.

District Organizer Arnold M. Vrla (130) gave his report. Brother Vrla supported Brother Pokladnik's view regarding the reading of the minutes in their entirety. He said he thus was able to "re-live" the previous events of the foregoing meeting. He thanked Brother Marek on behalf of the organizers. He asked all the organizers present to stand. Twenty-six stood up. Regarding growth, Brother Vrla stated that in order to grow, you must have a SALE. We must not relax our efforts in 1966. The 1965 quota was $825,000, and the district wrote $885,000. The 1966 quota has been set at $1,130,000, which is a 38 per cent increase over the last 3-year average. Dist. III has accepted a friendly challenge from District II for 1966. There will be no

V tSTNfIC awards or prizes or special remuneration to the winner. Brother Vrla referred to the organizers in the 25M, 50M, and 75M Clubs, whose pictures and awards ap peared in the Vestnik. He called a meeting of all organizers present in the Conference Room 15 minutes prior to re-convening time in the afternoon.

President Milan announced that District Youth Director Carol (Nesuda) Mraz sent word that she would be arriving later in the day from Houstbn.

State Youth Director James Janousek gave his report. He asked the whole family to support the youth.

District III has nine youth clubs — more than any other district. We also have the only District Youth Council in the state, but it needs support. In spite of all our efforts however, Bro. Janousek pointed out, a full two-thirds of the youth are missing out on the youth activities. The SPJST youth program has more to offer than that of any other organization — without cost to the participants. The Youth Awards Banquet is set for April 24th.

District seminars have been scheduled.

Brother Janousek recognized 11 youth leaders present. Youth awards will be awarded in. the afternoon.

A roll call of lodges by the secretary showed that 10 lodges out of 19 were represented at the meeting. Secretary Morris spoke in favor of a personal contact with officers of those lodges that have been perennially absent from district meetings. He said he would endeavor to make some contacts in the southern part of the district, and urged that DO Vrla and Director Pokladnik, in their travels about the district, likewise urge the presence of these absent lodges at our district functions. Brother Morris stressed that we can never "wipe these lodges off the roster; that we cannot forget them, but must renew our efforts in impressing them with the idea that they are STILL, a part of the SPJST family."

Under unfinished business, the District III Youth Activity Day was set for Sunday, June 26th, with Lodge 66, Waco, hosting the event. This date is to be inserted into the Vestnik immediately. The letter from Brother Urbanovsky was again brought up, noted, and filed. District III Awards Banquet is to be held at Lodge 84, Dallas, on April 24th. Brother Morris and Brother Milan commented about the value of the District Council. Both were of the

9 opinion that the council was a satisfactory one, but could be even mere effective if more lodges were represented on it. Preparing an agenda beforehand served a very useful purpose, to say nothing of the fact that it saves time.

The meeting adjourned for the noon meal at 12:30; reconvened at 1:45.

These plans will be of great interest to the teens, so please be present. Don't forget that if you do not attend this meeting, you must call Wanda, Elzner if you want to go on the hayride June 11th.

Only those attending, unless a good reason is given for not attending, will be allowed to go.

Camp is just around the corner for the teens and youth of District V. We

Wednesday, June 8, 1966 will be going to Camp Madison in Friendswood, Texas, July 8th, 9th, and 10th. Only active members will be allowed to go, since only a limited number can be taken. Will YOU be able to go?

Are the hot summer days making you blow your stack more than usual?

After a tiring day of work, do you need something to do that would be relaxing? Don't blow your stack! Relax!

Where? The swimming pool, of course!

After one quick dip, you will find that irritable nerves become calm ones, and tired muscles, become relaxed ones.

After hopping not of the pool, take a good look about you. Can you guess which the teens and youth got with the Gift Stars that you contributed?

And what did the teens get? Check next week's issue for the answer.

Due to a little lack of spying on my part, my I Spy column will not be in this week's letter. Be sure to look in next week's issue!

Fraternally, Kathy Dixon --SPJST LODGE NO. 30, TAITON Dear Editor and Readers, Well school is out and it hasn't rained for two days, so we'll soon be working in the fields.

Our club did a lot in the month of May. We entertained the old folks at the El Campo Rest Horne and the Hillje Home For The Aged, Sunday, May 30th. We sang a Czech song in the Talton Catholic Church and dedicated it to the elderly people. May was "Senior Citizen's Month."

Sunday our Youth Club played softball at the Community Center, then we had hot dogs and all the trimmings and cold drinks.

I hope we have nice weather for the trip to Granger.

We were asked if any of us would work June 12 during the Cottonwood School Reunion, We're supposed to help serve the food, so if any teen club member wishes to work, be at the hall June the 12th.

Since it's so hot in our club room we decided to buy a fan. This will be a relief.

C7NTO JUSTON'S DECISIVE MOVE

By Gary Todd Shouldering the destiny of his countrymen on March 6, 1830, Sam Houston headed west from Washington-on-the-Brazos. The roaring of cannons and screaming of dying men which rang within'time Alamo that ue morning were muted by distance, And for a while he was Spared the anguishing accounts. He had been commander-in-chief only two days when he set out to arrange his country's meager defenses against a massive, well-trained Mexican army.

Traveling five days by horse across rain-swollen rivers and over primitive roads, he reached Gonzales and took charge of some 350 men who had preceded him there, hoping to rescue the Alamo defenders. The news of the Bexar disaster reached him as he arrived. When it was confirmed on the 14th, he turned back eastward, beginning his long retreat — the long, desperate road toward victory.

Pefore leaving Gonzales, he ordered two pieces of artillery thrown into the Guadalupe River since there were no means of transporting them. His baggage wagons; had been given to the citizens evacuating Gonzales.

In the line of retreat, the army became sponge-like, soaking up men en route and spilling others. Six hundred men were in ranks when Houston reached the Colorado River on March 17, pursued by Mexican General Ramirez Sesma. After March 26, however, with Houston withdrawing toward the Brazos River and with news of Fannin's fate spreading, many of the men left the army to help their families, and numbers were drastically reduced.

Many others who were on their way

to join the army also turned back to help their families.

HouSton continued into April, leading the force first to San Felipe, then north along the Brazos River to a point known as Croce's (near the present city of Hempstead) where he camped and received reinforcements and artillery. The citizens of Cincinnatti, Ohio, had shipped two six-pound cannons known as the "twin sisters" to Houston, and they were given a warm welcome in camp.

Meanwhile Generalissimo Santa Anna, who by then had joined Se,sraa in pursuit on the Brazos, got word that the Texas government lay in nearby Harrisburg and decided to pursue. Finding Harrisburg almost totally abandoned, he turned on New Washington, arriving there on April 18th, and on his next move, he was to encounter Hotiston's forces near what is now San Jacinto.

Houston, who had broke camp at Grace's, marched to Harrisburg, arriving on the 18th. There, he learned that Santa Anna planned to move to Anahuac via Lynch's Ferry. On April 20, the Texans moved to within a half mile of Lynch's Ferry and halted in the cover of timber. The men were engaged in slaughtering beef when Santa Anna was reported approaching in battle array.

As General Houston prepared for battle, Santa Anna took position with his infantry and artillery in the center, occupying an island of timber and with his cavalry covering the left flank. The artillery consisted of one double fortified medium brass twelvepounder, and it opened on the Texas positions. Then the Mexican infantry advanced upon Houston but was repulsed by numerous discharges from the Texans' accurate artillery.

There was no more action, outside of a. few scattered skirmishes, until 3:30 p.m. on April 21. Santa Anna chose a camp site hacked by the shore of San Jacinto Bay. In the words of Mexican Colonel Delgrado, the site was less than desirable, affording the Mexicans no retreat.

The Mexican forces arranged themselves in this way: the right flank of infantry moved up, occupying the timber on the south bank; the left side was fortified by an embankment five feet high, made of packs and baggage; artillery was moved into an opening in the embankment.

At 9 a.m. on April 21, Mexican General Cos and 500 men arrived to rein-

Wednesday; June 8, 1066 force Santa Anna's forces, and they were greeted with drum rolls and much jubilation. Santa Anna instructed the reinforcements to sleep.

With the arrival of General Cos in Santa Anna's camp, the Texans expected a Mexican attack, Mexican numbers had risen to about 1,400 or 1,500 compared to about 780 Texans.

But when the Mexicans began fortifying rather than moving to attack, the Texans decided to attack, and formed themselves into four divisions. The first regiment, under Colonel Burleson, was assigned the center; the second under Colonel Sidney Sherman formied the left wing; the artillery under Colonel George W. Hockley was positioned at the right of the first regiment; and four companies of infantry, under Lieutenant Colonel Henry Millard, sustained artillery on the right. The cavalry, numbering 61 under, Colonel Mirabeau B, Lamar, was placed on the extreme right.

Houston ordered a strategic bridge destroyed thus cutting off any possibility of escape, and then ordered a parade of commands. The troops reportedly were in excellent spirits and anxious for combat. Some, no doubt, were hoping to avenge the death of their fallen countrymen at the Alamo and Goliad.

The Texas cavalry was .first dispatched to the front of the enemy's left for the purpose of attracting attention. The, artillery- advanced and took station within 200 yards of the enemy and commenced firing with grape and canister. Colonel Sherman commenced the action on Texas' left wing, and the whole line advanced in double time, with cries including "Remember the Alamo!" and "Remember Goliad!"

Santa Anna was in his own words, in a "deep sleep" when the attack was sprung. The bugler on the Mexican right sounded the Texas advance, as the Texans closed in,,yelling furiously.

The Mexican . camp was taken completely by surprise, many of the soldiers being asleep. Panic-stricken and in utter confusion, they fled, some to the water's edge and some to the prairie.

Many were shot trying to swim to safety in the bayous, and others were closely followed by the Texas cavalry onto the prairie where they were caught and shot.

Howling Texas forces met little resistance as they dashed lightning-like through the deserted camp. Victory came within approximately 20 Min-

The San Jacinto Battlefield Monument This is the world's tallest monument, and honors those who gave their lives on the morning of April 21, 1836, in the final , decisive, and surprise attack against the forces of Mexican General Santa Anna and Gen. Cos. The Mexicans had between 1450 and 1500 soldiers; the Texans around 780.

Today, the San Jacinto Battleground is a State Park of 460 acres, located on the Houston Ship Channel. The area has an excellent museum and picturesque picnic areas. The Battleship "Texas" is anchored nearby. For a nominal fee, visitors may view the battleground area and the surrounding industrial area from a vantage point high atop the 507-foot tower. A Short drive east from Houston via Highway 225 and 134, the park is a definite must for students of Texas history, and a popular stop for tourists and photographers, utes, though some of the prisoners were not returned to the camp until the next day. The Texas cavalry had charged and routed the enemy on the right, and Captain Karnes led the pursuit of the fugitives across the prairie.

TA/land-to-hand combat at the breastwork lasted only a few minutes, and the Texas riflemen were forced to use their weapons as clubs. • During the following three days, all of the prisoners and supplies were moved to Houston's camp.

Comparative statistics were staggering. Houston reported less than 5 dead and fewer than 25 wounded. At the sameg time, Mexican losses re-

portedly ran 630, dead, 208 wounded, and 730 prisoners. .His Excellency, Santa Anna, was not captured until April 22, as he had escaped to a prairie and changed his clothes.

On the 22nd, Santa Anna, well disguised in stolen clothing, was brought into Houston's camp unrecognized by his captor. Reportedly, Mexican prisoners' exclamations gave away his identity. He agreed to cease hostilities, withdraw remaining Mexican forces across the Rio Grande, and restore all property taken by Mexican soldiers. In return, uncaptured Mexican troops were assured safe passage to Mexican territory during their retreat. Santa Anna was held prisoner until late in 1838, when he was sent to Washington, D. C. Mexican prisoners were removed by ship from the area and taken to Galveston Island where they were held until mid-August. They were finally released, April 25, 1887.

Though Mexican claims to Texas did not end until 1846 after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago, Texans, with great relief, turned their attention to rebuilding their ravished land under a sovereign flag. strong new leaders of the Sam. Houston stature were to arise in Texas to impress their names on her dynamic history and to shape her destiny. —Texas Parks & Wildlife Mag.

--SPJST-A MESSAGE FROM THE F.B.I. DIRECTOR Law enforcement today is being degraded, purposely in many instances, by the widespread and indiscriminate use of the term "police brutality."

This practice is called a guilt-bylanguage process by some individuals.

They might be right. For example, the word "juvenile" has been associated with "delinquency" so often and so long that now, when used alone, it has a disagreeable connotation to much of the public.

"Police brutality" conjures up visions of hulking men in uniform clubbing and beating innocent people.

Rarely, however, does the term fit the circumstances to which it is applied.

It is used in wild accounts of enforcement officers' lifting limp demonstrators who block busy thoroughfares, in reference to oral commands by policemen who disperse potential troublemakers, in depicting efforts by officers to halt violations of the law, and in describing any number of other sworn duties performed by policemen.

Wednesday,. June 8, 1966 We know there is a calculated and deliberate attempt by some groups to inflame hostility against law enforcement by charging "police brutality" without cause. To a large degree they have succeeded. The term is bandied about in all media of communication without serious consideration as to its true meaning or its harm-ful effect on a profession which is charged with enforcing the basic rules of civilized living.

I agree with a growing number of responsible news editors, public officials, and law-abiding citizens that it is high time to get this "pet slogan" into a better perspective. We do not deny there have been instances of misuse of force by enforcement officers, but such incidents are not as prevalent as the public has been led to believe. A general and accepted principle of the law has been that an officer may use such force as is necessary to make lawful arrests, protect his life, and perform other specific duties. Frequently, however, the choice is not his to make; he HAS to use force or be maimed or killed and have the rights of all the people trampled by those who have no respect for law or due process. Even then, his best efforts often are not enough, as evidenced by the appalling number of officers assaulted and killed each year.

Policemen have the same basic rights as others. There is no reason why they should be singled out for ridicule by invalid blanket accusations.

The public, the press, and law enforcement itself should launch a concerted drive to stop the semantic indictment of police. Allegations and incidents should be reported and described in realistic, impartial, and truthful terms.

If an officer is assaulted while making an arrest and uses undue force to subdue the person, then call it "undue force." If an officer uses profane language to a citizen, then describe it as profane language. If an officer is thought to be biased or prejudiced in his treatment of groups or individuals, then the complaint should so state.

But the constant cry of "police brutality" as a catch phrase, exploited and used as camouflage for illegal conduct, is dead wrong. It is a stigmatization of police by rote.

J. Edgar Hoover, Director AUTOMATION IN INSURANCE FIRMS A government survey indicates that, after insurance companies convert to automation, the number of their of-

17

V tSTNIZ flee employees continues to rise, but at a slower rate.

Also, office jobs in a computerized insurance company generally require more skill, according to the study by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Reporting on the study, the Institute of Life Insurance noted that, even though electronic data processing (EDP) has eliminated many routine clerical jobs, individual workers have seldom been laid off.

The naturally high rate of turnover among young women clerks (due mainly to marriage), the rapid growth of insurance coverage and new EDP jobs enabled companies to avert layoffs through normal attrition, retraining and transfers.

The Institute explained that two principal reasons why insurance companies use EDP equipment are to keep down the cost of insurance and give better service to policyholders.

With life insurance, for example, the amount of protection in the United States more than doubled during the period of the government study. Without EDP, this rise would undoubtedly have involved a much greater increase in personnel costs than actually occurred.

The study covered 410 companies, representing about 90 per cent of total employment in the insurance business.

They include 181 life insurance companies, 36 health insurance companies and 193 property-casualty companies.

The impact of automation was traced from 1954, shortly after computers were first introduced in private industry.

By early 1963, computers were being used by companies representing 80 per cent of total insurance employment.

Slower Growth Rate Before the surveyed companies converted to EDP, their overall office force was expanding about 4.2 per cent a year. After conversion, the growth rate was only 2.4 per cent.

The number employed by the surveyed companies in EDP jobs soared from about 600 in 1954 to about 15,000 in 1963, although the latter figure represented only about 4 per cent of the overall office force in computerized companies. Total EDP employees of all insurance companies were estimated at about 19,000.

Over 70 per cent of the EDP employees were recruited from inside the companies.

More than half of the companies ex-

-SPJST----JOINTLESS TOMATO SHOWS

PROMISE Researchers at Texas A&M University's Plant Disease Experiment Station at Yoakum are on the brink of developing a jointless tomato.

A jointless tomato is the dream of big-time tomato growers, since it can be mechanically harvested. The idea is to eliminate the joint on the stem located about an inch from the fruit.

On ordinary varieties, when the tomato is picked, a stem remains on the fruit. The stem punctures other tomatoes and causes rapid spoilage.

The stems must either be removed by hand or during processing.

Dr. A. L. Harrison, plant pathologist at the A&M field unit, has been selecting tomatoes which have the jointless characteristics. He has one in breeding stock now — still just a number — but it shows promise, he says.

At a recent field day, Harrison demonstrated to visitors that the tomato cannot be picked from the vine and leave the stem on. It comes off every time, since there is no joint to break, he said.

Work is being carried on at other A&M field stations and on the main campus at College Station. The researchers are optimistic that before long a jointless variety will be ready for release to Texas tomato growers.

gles for disease and pesticide residues and saves the feathers gleaned during the process. The feathers are distributed for reli g ions purposes only. Indians who want the plumage to perform for tourists are screened out.

There is a shortage of feathers and all are on a high-priority basis.

JACHYMOVSKA PROC Motto: Jsme hrdi na eestnY titul "Vzorna obec Karlovarskeho okresu" Mesto, ktere slavi letos v Cervnu 450. vYroei zaloleni, 60. vYroei vzniku lazni a 250. vyroti zaloleni prvniho hornickeho Proo hrabe Stepan Slik, havir Prennig a Marie Curie-Sklodowska?

Tedy od zaeatku: Mesto Jachymov je jednim z nejmlaaich mast. Bylo zaloleno v dobe, kdy vetSina CeskYch a morayskych mast mela za sebou poeateeni historie a Jachymov teprve vznikl. Na poedtku kstnacteho stoleti. Ale jeho "Zivotopis", pro historiky nesmirne kratkY, je zajimavY, pro nektere "Zivotni" etapy, ktere se opakuji a ktere opoutavaji celY svet. Prvni ona po svete rozh1OSend etapa slavy byla hned v poeateich mesta, kdy se povest o stfibrnYch loZiskach rozhlasila po Evrope a Tide sem proudili z rfiznYch zemi za praci. Druhou dobou jachymovske slavy byl sklonek 19. stoleti„ kdy byl objevem v uranovYch rudach jachymovskych "zativy" prvek radium. A treti, nejmladSi slate "zavinil' gran po druhe svetove valce, kdy jako v 18. stoleti, prichazelo jej sem teFit mnoho pracovnika.

Osoby, kterYin zaeind prve proe, mail s Jachymovem mnoho spoleeneho.

KdyF tu toti2 v 16. stoleti byly nalezeny vetS1 sttibrne Zily, hrobata va z nedalekeho Ostrova nad Obti ziskala pozemky od chudSich rytitfi z Kfel a na nich stoji dneSni Jachymov.

Bariske teZatstvo z KarlovVch Vara tenkrat opattilo odborniky z tale Evropy, kteti zjistili, Ze loZiska stribra jsou botiata, 'lade stribrne tily vystupovaly skoro na povrch, byly nalezany pod tra,vniky nebo v kotenech vyvracenych stromii. Vyrtistaly tu proto doly a misto nekolika pfivodnich drevenYch chatrei tu stab za pal roku 400 domtl, mesto 6italo 5000 obyvatel. Pro svili v3.7znam bylo povYkno na svobodne horni mesta a nazvano tdolim svateho Jachyma. Nejprve bylo jen

Ve sttedu 8. 6er y na 1966 Jmeno Jachymovo se ptidalo na P C 'Cost patrona horniku.

Druhou slavnou etapu mesta charakterizuje havit Jan Prenning„ kterY v race 1906 zaeal nosit v putnach 00jevenou radioaktivni vodu do jachymovskYch lazni. Ubiral se denne z Dolu Rovnost do domu pekare Kuhna, praptivodnich to lazni jachymovskYcli Ale vlastne uhasinajici slavu Jachymova zachranil objev manZelti CurieovYch, kdy slavna, francouzska fyzielm Marie Curieova y e zbytcich jachymovskeho smolince objevila, zarive — radium. Tehdy to byl jediny zavod ve svete na u •anove sloueeniny a barvy pro sklo, keramiku a chemickY Z 1000 kilogramti zbytkti objevila manFelska dvojice prvek — radium, jeho2 radioaktivita byla milionkrat vyS"Si net radioaktivita uranu.

Tento prvek, ktery je od roku objeveni (1902) vyznamny pro zdravotnic tvi a jine obory.

Prot je Jachymov "kolebkou atomoveho veku," pros se znovu mluvi o ehymovskem lazenstvi a pros tu maji svetovou raritu lazenske horniky?

Dozajista je to vSechno proto, ze jedna slavna era Jachymova strida, druhou.

DUlni zatizeni zmodernizovana po race 1945, umotnila teFit tolik uranoye rudy jako nikdy predtim. Zase sem putovaly tisice pracovnin, zase mesto zaFilo velkY rozvoj. A zase doly poskytly material profesora 0. Hahnovi, objeviteli Stepeni atomoveho jadra.

Era teFebni vSak skoneila, na dolech se u2 nepracuje ; hayiri odjeli. Ale piece jen. Hrstka jich to zest ila. Jsou to hornici, jake nemaji nikde na svete. Hornici lazenSti, Denne staraji na Dole Svornost, Jenne pracuji v petisetmetrove podzemni hloubce. Staraji se o mohutnou eerpaci stanici, dokonulou tc y arno pod zemi, kterd dodava potrubim laznim radioaktivni prameny a udrZuji dulni chodby.

Sfarala jsem v pine havirske vYzbroji pod zem, Klee zastavila na dvanactem patre, pak jsem uAla pul druhello kilometre chodbami, vet§inou y llikYini a inokrmi, sem tam vyzdobenYmi barevnymi krapniCky. A stala jsem u nejsilnejSiho radioaktivniho pramene, z ktereho se to chrli z hloubky 540 litre za minutu. Je prijeinne teplY — 30 stuphO Celsia, a nema dosud Zadne jmeno, Krome neho je na Jachymovsku je.e.;te 10 pramenti a vrtft a mame toho bohatstvi tolik, ze je ani nespotrebujeme,

I. Generalni reditel banky "ZlatY did" doktor Vaclav Dostal rozeilene chodil z pokojen do pokoje sveho rozsahleho bytu, sna2e se nabYti klidu. Jeho pina, zdrave rt2ova, tvat byla brunatne rudo, a dech se mu• kratil, jako by se mel zadusit. Vedel, 2e takova rozeileni je pri jeho tlouat'ce krajne nebezpeene a proto si hledel namluvit, ze cela, to vec vlastne nestoji za to, aby ji bral va2ne, nato2, aby se pro ni rozeiloval.

Co se vlastne stab() tak brozneho?

v 1STN na byla trochu uatepaeria, na to byl o-statue zvyklY, a &era -uminiva. To urilayky site nebyla take nie noveho,•ale ten jeji zpropadeny jazycek! ;Pak ma. to rekla, kdy pronlasil,Ze ji nepusti do Habrove?

"Stydet, se za vlastni sestrit jen proto ; e je chuda a 1 irosta venkovanka, je od tebe, tatinku, tak indlo pekne, jako to, ze jsi Upine zapomnel, 2.0 j,si se v Habro ye naroclil a byl bys tarn podnes obdolaval pole, ktera podia na 'tvoje studie, kdyby. ."

Tu se jiC neovladl a vystreil ji ze &val. Nebylo to sice "nobl", zachazet takto s dospelou dcerou a k tomu skoro nevestou oclboroveho rady, ale za to, co si dovolila,, nezaslou2ila nic neho. To uznala i jeho chot' Irma, je2 v jinem pripade byla by } podia poznamkou o "vesnickych zpasobech".

VESTNiK de jako kvet a ptiliS rozumna, ne a aby pro jeden zmateny sen truchlila celY aivot.

V zamyMeni dokl ke dvetim pokoje, v nema se ozYvaly hlasy. Poznal SlavPrave mluvila, a to tak hlasite, e rozumel kaademu "Nechapu, mati, e jsi tak malichernd. Promiri, ale jã dobte vim, Ze se tatinek nesmi hlasit ke sve rodine a vim take prod. Proto se ti stra'Sne divim. VidiS, to by mne bylo docela jedno, elm by rodide meho mute byli; MOM bych je stejne rada, kdyby byli prosti a Spatne situovani, ba, myslim jests radi, protoae bych oce.ovala, vSecko vynaloaili, jen aby se jejich synovi vedlo lope ne a jim."

"Tobe se to mluvi," odpovidala pani Irma, na ni dceiina tee patrne neucinila zadouciho dojmu, nebot nezmenila ani o stin obvykly studeny ton sveh ohlasu. "kdy a Edvard mel otce vrchnim soudnini radou, bratra ma plukovnikem a sestru provdanou za inZenYra chemie a majitele."

Konec tohoto, jemu ostatne dobte znameho rodokmenu, teditel Dostal jia neslykl. Ozval se jakYsi zvuk, jako by nekdo so nejhlasiteji zivl a v zapeti rozhoteenY hlas jeho dhoti: "Nevychovana, nezpiisobna!"

"Dovol, mati, ja ptece za to nemohu, 'k se mi chtelo zivnout," hajila se nevinne Slavka. "Prod' me lope nebavig."

"Tak si jdi, ale okamaite se klid' do sveho pokoje," vypadla pani Irma z filohy yznekne klidne &any. Pak nasledoval jakYsi Sum ku dvekim, tyto se rozletly a Slavka, mradic se, vyletla z nich po druhe.

Kdyi spatiila otce, vyjasnila tvat a prohodila se smichem: "Chyt' mne, papa, vadyt' se mnou hrajete hazenou."

Tento nahly pfechod z hnevu do veselosti byl u Slavky Dostalove charakteristickY, Nedovedla se dlouho zlobit, v tom byla po otci, jen a pro tuto svoji vlastnost byl u svych podfizenych velmi obliben. Rovnea zjevem mu byla podobna, coa ani trochu vAak neteSilo pani Irmu, jejimua vkusu nev yhovo -valzdrimkvteouczhldein.

Byla by ji chtela miti ninteresantne ptibledlou. Atihlouekou a kiehkou jako ona byla. Slavka vAak nejevila porozumeni pro tuto jell touhu. Kdykoliv ji matka napomenula, aby tolik nejedla, e nikdy nezhubne, zasmala se,. ae ji ani nenapadne, aby se k vita takove hlouposti motila hlady.

"Poekej Slavlso," zavolal tlumene Dostal, vybehnuv za, ni do pfulsine.

Ihned se otoeila a jeji velke, Wankyne modre ()di hledely z ridoveho z rilaoveho oblideje na otce tak vesele, jako by nikdy nebylo predchaiejiciho vYstupu, "ChceS mi tici, ae jsi se rozmyslil, a he mne do Habrove piece pustiS?" tazala se fisrnevem a bezdeky tim otci usnadnila, aby ji neprodlene mohl tici, co ho prave napadlo.

"Uznej piece, ditC e je to nemoane. To neni tak jednoduche, vydat se tam, jak ty Si predstavujeS. Vadyt' ani jak by te ptijali; ja myslim, ae dobie rozhodne ne."

"A ja zas vim,'ae ano." Slavka se odmleela a pohledla bez Usme yu otci do "Psala jsem tete, a ona mi odpovedela, jen abych ptijela. kdy budu chtit, ae mne rada uvidyi." keditel Dostal sklopil hluboko hlavu.

Citil se nesmirne zahanben uSlechtilou hrdosti sestkinou.

Slavka ho mleky pozoro yala. TuMla, e svadi ye svem nitru bcj.

"Ukaa mi ten dopis", pteruSil posleze ticho skoro prosebne.

Slavka priskoaila, zavesila se do neho a vedla ho do sveho pokojiku. Vedela,'ae u neho ma vyhrano.

0 pani Irmu se pokuokly mdloby, kdya addajic manaela, aby ji piece pomohl vyhnat deal z hlavy tu zpropadenou Habrovou, narazila na odpor.

"Pro mne a za mne at' si tam jede.

Já se k vUli tomu u2 rozeilovat nebudu, vi g pfece, ae mi to doktor zakazal", tekl Dostal znavene, nebot' k teto vete spotteboval ve gkerou energii sve odvahy.

Jeho chot' onemela na dlouho sem, pak si ho dtikladne prohledla, jell to opravdu on a nakonec hluboce uraaena zvedla do vYAe svuj klasicky nosik.

"Kdya tys tak pohodlnY, nebudu se tedy take namahat. Zdeneeka vezmu s sebou k moki a Slavomira at' si jede tteba s cikany."

Dopadlo to tedy nad oeekavani dostala na cestu. Podrobila gatnik dtbte a Slavka V slunne nalade se chykladne prohlidce a rozumne vybrala to nejpraktietejM. Nebylo to lehke, protoe mela letni toalety vetSinou pro lazne a k moIi. Jedine gaty z tennisu a plisovanou sukenku, kterou nosila na led, uznala za vhodne pro vesnici. K tomu ptidala ash dvoje "aty hedvabne, ty nejjednodui co mela, zavkela zavazadlo a Ma se pomazlit s malYm Zderikem, po nema, vedela, ji bude nejvice stYskat.

Ve stiedu 8. derma 1960 chudak malt, as za patnact letpo ni a nebyl ani neekavan, ani vitan s radosti. Teprve to, Ze to byl takovy rozkoSny a zprisobny hoSik, s nim trochu rozmrzelou matku a kdya mu vlasky ztmavely, zaeala , ho hydkat, a Slavka Zarlila..AvS"ak k 'icji radosti Zdenek nezapomnel, kdo si s nim tak dlouho trpelive hraval, kdo ho uspaval a mazlil se s nim, ne a to jeSte delala mama.

Kdya Slavka odjiadela do Habrove, objimal ji a plakal, jako by ji ji a nikdy nemel spattit.

"Ale jdi, ty hloupouekY," konejSila ho, ad sama nemela do slz daleko, "to je prave docela pane, e nejedeme spolu. Podivej se, ja ti poSlu listek z Habrove a ty mne z Grada, ano?"

"Dobte tedy, budeme si psat" souhlasil Zdenek moudte, rozmazavaje Si slzieky po tvatidka,ch.

Slavka, kdy a ji pak vlak unagel letnirn odpolednem, usmivala, se pM vzpomince na neho i na to, jaka to bude korespodence se sednailetym'Skolaekem.

VlahY podvederni vzduch, prosycenY rani sena a rozkvetajicich lip, pojal ji ye svou name, kdy a yystoupila z vlaku na zastavce Habrove. Vdechla jej zhluboka a rozhledla se kolem sebe.

Ptilde ji teta naproti, jak psala?

UCinila krok vpked a soueasne yykrodila ji vstiic statna starSi aena, jejia blankytne modre oei k nerozeznani se podobaly °dim Slaveinym. Asi metr od sebe se obe zastavily. Slavka prvni piistoupila "Teta Aneaka?"

Oslovena, kYvla a s ponekud rozpaditYm pousmanim ji podala ruku. Slavka do ni vioMla svoji je a se zdala detsky drobna a hebka v tetine upracovane dlani a nahnu ySi se, polibila ji s klidnou samortejmosti na tvat.

"My slirn, ae ani nemusim kikak kdo jsem," usmala se a hledala pohledem mezi vyloaenYmi zavazadly svoje. "Je tu nekdo, kdo by mi to mohl odnast?" obratila se k tete.

"Ktere je to? Tamhle to, ne?" Dostalova sestra ukazala na peknY cestovni kufiik, kterY jako bila, vrana svitil mezi nekolika bednami a pytli. "Ten unesu sama jako nic.''

"Ale ne, tetieko, to piece nejde nechte to, snad se nekdo najde," protestovala Slavka. Av gak teta nedbala a za okarnaik se vracela, nesouc kuffik, jima Slavka sotva hnula, v jedne race,. jako by byl, prazdnYt.

Ve sttedu 8. eer yna 1966 "Vy mate silu," zaobdivovala se uptimne S4,tvka. Teta skronane namitla, ze musi nosit tetSi veci a jak se pti torn usmivala, byla jeSte napadnej Ii jeji podoba s bratrem.

SeSly s maleho navrei a pustily se fizkou cestiolcou mezi lukarni. Skoro vSecky byly jit posekane. Na-nekterych letela zaschld, trava, jet ztejme 'jeSte rano zdobila sve kvety rosou, jine byly posety nizkYmi kopkami sucheho sena. Vonelo at ornamne a z travy v elpu jedine nedoseeene louky znel tenky, neUnavitY cvrkot.

"To jscou vrvekove?" promluvila Slav ka do ticha.

"Ne; zeleni konici."

"Aha, kobylky lueni," ptezkoueela Slavka v duchu svou ptirodopisnou zdatnost a rozhodla se, zaptisti s tetou, jet byla bud'to malomluvna nebo stisnena setkanirn, zabavny rozhovor. Za eala tedy.

"Vite, tetieko, te bych byla dollla do vsi i kdybyste mi nebyla ptiSla naproti?"

"To snad ne," zapochybovala Anatka Dostalovd.

"Ale ano," vyhrkla Slavka. "Tatinek mi vAecko vypodobnil tak doporrobna, te bych se tu vyznala i po tine."

Tncho, jet zavladlo, poueilo ji v'Sak jasneji net slova, te katcla zminka o otci bude vtdy mrakem, ktery zakali oblohu tetiny nalady i kdyby nad ni neberske slunieko svitilo co nejzativeli.

Shodila s ramen plagtik a yeeerni yettik ptijemne c yanid jeji nahe pale.

Bylo ji horko. Nevedela veak sama, jestli ji tak rozproudil krev tetin rychlk krok nebo zlost na sebe. Sfiala i kloboueek a jak ho nedbale nadhodila v ruce, vyklouzl ji prave k nohana mlacleho mute, jent se jim vyhnul na dzke paSine stranou na louku. PHI jim zdvotile dobry veeer a zvedl Slavein klo bouk, na neje jen zazrakem neSlapl.

Slavka, berouc jej od neho, podivala se mu ze zvyku do oei, lhostejne podekovala a chvatala za tetou. Ta kraeela opted tak neUnavne statne, te i toto male zpotdeni bylo patrno.

At kdyt vyely na cestu poelcala na ni a sama za 'Cala havotit, zfejme se snatic Witt vesela.

"Tak to je Habrova," ukazalo no chvili na nevelikou hrst domktt ptitulenYch k lesu. 2havy7 stin, ztistav'Si na obloze po zaZlem slunci, zaleval slabounce rtiftovou zati sttechy, ptevatne je§te slamene, takte to pilsobilo do-

ArtSTNfIC jem, jakoby se vesnieka jit probouzela za dsvitu rannich eervankti.

Slavka se mleky divala na prdhlednk kout, kterY stoupal z kominti rovne vzhtiru k bezoblaene obloze jako Bohu mila obet% Bylo ji tak nejak mekce a posvatno v dot,jako kdyby tato maid viska, jet dala jejimu otci vS'e-` cky radosti detstvi, ehystala i ji jdsave Stesti, jake dosud neznala.

Pa ksi vzpomnela na otce. Jak na ni mysli, jak v duchu doprovazi ka,tdY jeji krok. Kdot vi, zdali prave v tomto okamtiku si ji neptedstavuje, te stoji na tomto miste a diva se na Habrovou. Byl dojat, kdyt odjitclela, ubohy tatinek, nedovedl to skrkti a proto si pal, aby se s nim prisla rozloueit do banky. Nic nechtel, net aby mu vymohla odpugeni.

"Na navrat je pozde. Ne dite, ut je pozde," opakoval dUrazne, kdyt se jala horlive nabizet, te se pokusi o smir, "neznaA le, protote nejsi z nick".

Pak ji dal vetk Cast penez, nekolik tisic.

"Nic od tebe nevezmou, vim to, kdyby pottebovali, ale tohle nekam dej, aby to, at odjeda, na gli Jsou hrdi, ale jsou take getrni. Proto doufam, nezniei tolik pen& jen proto, te jsou ode mne."

"Pojd'te, Slavinko," vybidla Anetka, Dostalova zasnenou divku. Slavka posluene vykroeila a teprve nyni si n yedornila, ze ji teta vyka.

"Tykejte mi, tetielco," 1.ekla proste.

"Tak ja tedy budu," uvolila se ochotne Dostalova -sestra a pohledla teple na netet.

Pled samou dedinou odboeily vpravo a ocitly se pled nizkYm domeekem krytkm dogicy asteti viditelnYrn pod rozlotitYm stromem stare lipy.

"Vo tyhle testa ti Vaclav nemoh' vypravovat, tu on nalapal, ale k tyhle residenci ndm pomoh," lekla tvrde a note raznYm pohybem otevfela vratka.

Slavka s pocitem tisne a litosti veela na umeteny dvorek. Zamitila do otevtenkch dveti sine, avAak distala zaratene stat. Na prahu se objevil staleeek, sehnutY a jako mleko Kclyt se jeho vybledle stare oei setkaly s jejima, protahl mu fisme y bezzub adsta a usadil se do vejitkil vrasek.

Slavka pohledla na tetu. Ta se jit opet usmivala. Jeji oci, sledujici vYjev, byly mekke, temet netne jako oet ditet,,eT. 0 je mui tatinek, Slavinko; h spodatime spolu."
