Wednesday, November 23, 1060 THANKSGIVING THROUGH THE AGES Did you know that Thanksgiving didn't become a nation-wide observance until 1964? It'S a fact! And this is just one of the many surprising facts about our traditional - American holiday.

The first Thanksgiving was held in December of 1621, when Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth Colony appointed a day of celebration and sent four men out to shoot wild turkeys and other fowl.

The Pilgrims had come ashore from the Mayfiewer on Dec. 21; 1620. The winter that followed had been heartbreaking; half of the entire band had perished of disease, hunger and exposure. But the following . March, two Algonquin speaking Indians, Safnoset from the Pemaquid tribe- and Sqtianto from the Wampanoag tribe, befriended the remaining group, gave them Indian corn seed ------ telling them to plant "when the oak leaves are as big as mouse-ears," and to catch fish to fertilize the soil. Thus the seeds were sown for the first Thanksgiving har7 vest.

It was a warm and bright summer, and the crops grew and thrived. When autumn arrived, the-three log warehouses were filled with provisions -the harvest of 20 acres of corn, and 6 acres of wheat, rye, barley and peas.

Governor Bradford thought it fitting to celebrate and give thanks for their good fortune and a formal invitation was issued to Massasoit, grand sachem of the Pokanoket Indians to join them in a feast of Thanksgiving. Massasoit arrived with 90 of his followers and stayed for three days of feasting!

Thanksgiving ways following harvests later came to be celebrated throughout the New England Colonies but on different and varying days.

George Washington proclaimed Nov. 26. 1789, as the first national Thanksgiving Day in honor of the new constitution: but the custom continued to vary widely among the states — kept alive only by the proclamations of local governors.

It was a woman, Sarah Josepha Hale, however, who first suggested that Thanksgiving should be a na-. tional patriotic holiday. She was the editor of the popular woman's maga zine called "Godey's Lady's Book," and for almost 20 , years she campaigned through editorials and letters to the President, state governors and otherinfluential persons,

Following her graduation from Taylor High School in 1954, the former Naomi Hunka attended TCU on a scholarship. In 1958 she graduated from the University of Texas with honors and taught in Houston for two years before moving back to Taylor.

Her reputation as a top flight English teacher was given further professional recognition in 1962 when Mrs. Pasemann was one of 45 teachers in Texas selected to participate in the National Defense English Association Institute at the University of Texas.

In addition to her classroom duties, Mrs. Pasemann serves as sponsoi of the Taylor High School chapter of the Future Teachers of Texas. Her high school record includes service as head cheerleader and selection as Miss Taylor High School, and this experience has been utilized again for she is also sponsor of the Taylor High cheerleaders and spends many hours supervising this group's sign painting and pep rally planning sessions.

Mr. and Mrs. Pasemann have two daughters, Sherie and Laurie, who are students at Twelfth Street School.

Sister Pasemann is the daughter of Brother Julius F. Hunka. She and her two daughters are all members of SPJST Lodge No. 29, Taylor.

Wednesday, November 23, 1900 Finally, Sarah Hale was able to win the support of President Abraham Lincoln. In the third year of the Civil War, he believed that the Union had been saved; he therefore proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated on Thursday, Nov. 25 — naming the last Thursday in November as the day to be observed each year. Today the occasion is still a time for giving thanks with reverent prayers, flower decorations and a turkey feast.

But while it is wild and domestic turkey that is traditional in the United States for Thanksgiving, in Japan a similar holiday of thanks is celebrated each year on Nov. 23rd with visits to shrines and candy and pots of hot ceremonial tea.

The colorfully-clad natives on the island of Sardinia, on the other hand, meet at the end of the harvest season in August to offer their thanks in the Festival of the Savior. At sundown a solemn procession of people proceed to church for prayer and to give thanks.

Within a few days after the festival, the hunting season starts!

In Bavaria at the thanksgiving festivals, which take place each year at the end of the harvest season, natives dress in traditional attire and perform folk dances which go back to the 13th and 14th centuries.

It doesn't matter if you choose to celebrate Thanksgiving in the typical American fashion with domestic and wild turkey, or with colorful folk dances, or with hot ceremonial tea — just as long as the spirit remains, making the holiday one of the year's most eagerly awaited and universally enjoyed.

LODCE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Friends, There is some mighty good dancing ahead of us for the next few days, starting off with the pre-Thanksgiv' .g dance this Wednesday with Jimmy Brosch of Houston furnishing the music. Then on Saturday, we have a new orchestra, Tee Tiemann of Yorktown, who comes highly recommended by those who have heard and danced to his fine music; some told me he plays modern music that sounds like Blumes, and some told me he plays wonderful mixed music, so I have come to the conclusion that he puts out some mighty good music!

Then we have a dance on Sunday from 6 to 10 p.m. with the famous Leroy Matocha furnishing the good music! Leroy, with that beaming personality, comes from Fayetteville, and he and his master musicians play some really danceable music! There will be a "Beer Bust" from 7 to 9 p.m. — free beer to all who have purchased dance tickets!

Being out of town, I missed the lodge's monthly meeting, but I did get some facts about the meeting from Secretary F. A. Kadlecek and Chairman Harley Cox. Good reports were given by the chairmen of the committees, and these showed the continued progress of our lodge. Chairman of the Rules and Regulations Committee Stephen Valcik explained the changes in the rules proposed by this committee, giving the members copies of their proposals. "Happy Birthday" was sung to Mary Schenburn, Karl Lindemann, Fannie Sembera, Lee Freybik, Emil Horelica, E. H. Treube, Myrth, Bob and Roy Hill, R. F. Lesak, Stephen Valcik, and Frank Broz.

Nov. 15, 1966 Dear Fellow-workers: Even though this report of insurance sales follows the big two-month contest we had, I must say that all of you did real well. During the month of October we received 212 applications for $385,500 of life insurance, which makes a total of 3,022 applicants for $6,111,525 of life insurance written this year.

Yes, our quota for this year is $6,000,000 of life insurance, which the applications written by now exceed, but let's not be mislead; all of this business was not approved and some was not delivered, so we will still have to hustle to put $6,000,000 on our books as paid-for insurance.

YOUTH SECTION FROM 1 HE DISTRICT YOUTH DIRECTORS

DISTRICT FOUR Dear Members, I hope the youth of District IV are reading the Vestnik and saw the app lication-of-interest blank on camping for 1967. These blanks are to be filled out and returned to me by Dec. 1„ so I can complete my plans for camping by Dec. 31. We will still need a chaperone for each five youths, so chaperones, fill out blanks too, please.

I would also like some suggestions as to what time to go, June, July, or August. Where would the youth like to go? Does anyone know of a good guest ranch to go to? Let me hear from you soon, since time is nearly over for planning.

The District IV meeting will be held July 23, at Seymour; host lodge is Lodge No. 73. Youths, start early on your talent and craft contests. Let's have a bigger contest than ever!

Mrs. Ed Haisler, District IV Youth Director -SPJSTDISTRICT II Dear Members, On Oct. 23rd I had the pleasure of organizing a youth club in District Two. I was at Taylor, Lodge No. 29.

With all the enthusiasm that prevailed there that afternoon, I know they will be successful.

The ladies present were Amelia Pokorny, Francis Tallas, Dorothy Mikulencak, Rudy Roznovak, Alice Boudny, Elsie Kaiser, Mrs. A. L. Boudny, Mrs. Frank Kovar, Mrs. W. H. Glover, and Frances Konakovsky.

Several of these ladies participated in the games that were played.

Officers for the new youth club are: President — Vera Mikulencak Vice Pres. — Sandra Mikulencak Secretary — Randall Roeglin Treasurer — Jerry Tallas Reporter — Antoinette Pokorny.

I am looking forward to some of the other lodges in this district to get started and do the same, because the youth are eager and willing. With a little aid from the parents, which is so important to all children, they can surprise us at times. It is time to start planning and setting our dates for our next year's activities. The district president and myself discussed it the other day, and he will call a meeting

Youth Leader PJss LODGE NO Y, Dear Members: Our club met with our mother lodge on Nov. 8th for election of officers for the mother lodge. The children were hosts for the supper. We had a real good turnout.

I was elected youth leader for another year. I hope I can do my job well.

I will need the help of more mothers because our club is really growing.

At this time I am happy to announce my committee. They are: Bill Brodie, Mrs. Wallace Bartek, Mrs. Ed. Chervenka, Mrs. Bill Brodie, Mrs. Eugene Engbrock, Mrs. Sidney Kacir, and Mrs. Lad Zatopek.

One of the reasons I like being a youth leader is the wonderful help I get from the parents, and the comical things I hear from the children.

When our club was host I had one girl cutting the cakes. She said, "I never cut a cake in my life," but she did and was amazed to know she could do it. Another said, "I love pickles, or rather I did, until I had to cut up two plates full." Another said, "my mother baked a cake but I got stuck with cutting up onions!" One boy, when asked to pick up plates, cups etc., said, "Oh, I picked mine up and now I will really earn my points!"

I may be a stern youth leader but I believe the children should do their job and not the parents. Of course, the

parents prepare me to.‘ , the children can take over_ • Our- next youth meeting will be on Nov: 2'.5, as the home of Mr. and. Mrs. Bill Brodie. Bring your puppets so we can practice our Christmas. r3rogram. ivirs. Frances Bartek, LODGE NO. 142, HOUSTON Dear Readers, Sorry I didn't write a letter last week, but I was real busy.

By the time this letter is printed the youth club's turkey dinner will be past.

Plans are still being made for the Christmas play, however.

On Nov. 13th two of oar most active lodge members celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary. Congratulations to Mr. and Ivirs. Charlie Cykala. They should be complimented not only on their beautiful party but their devoted service to our lodge.

The youth club would like to say congratulations and may you have many more. You are a credit to our Lodge 142 and the SPJST! Congratulations also to our youth club president, Patsy Twills. Patsy was selected to represent Waltrip Senior High School at a convention of future secretaries. Patsy, the youth are proud of you for your accomplishment.

Our next meeting will be held Dec. 4th. Since the mother lodge is holding election of officers, the youth club meeting will be held a little later than usual.

The. Shadow Knows: What's all this love letter writing about P.M. C.V., MN., R.D., B.R., and

Wednesday, November 23, 190G EL.? Is spring fever coming early to our lodge? P. T., are you really L.B.J. in disguise? Looking for a G.H.? Mrs. V., could you give me sewing lessons?

Maybe some day we will have a famous dress designer as a member of our lodge.

Fraternally, Mrs. Nona Liles, Assistant Youth Leader LODGE NO. 29, TAYLOR Attention Youth, Parents and Members of Lodge No. 29: Next Sunday, Nov. 27th, at 3 p.m. at our lodge hall near Taylor, we will have our November youth club meeting. This will be a VERY SPECIAL meeting, because we will elect our club secretary and have our installation of officers. Brother James J. Janousek, our State Youth Director, will be there to install our elected officers.

Since we are a new youth club and this will be our first meeting, we will take pictures of our officers and all our charter members. By being at this meeting, you will be considered one of our social members. We will also take a group picture of the youth present at this meeting we will start collecting our dues (according to the SPJST Youth By-Laws). They will be 10c per month, but the first month you will need to pay for two months (one in advance), so it will be 20e this time only. If you wish, you may pay the entire year in advance and receive a 10 per cent discount, which would be only $1.08 a year for a lot of fun, plus two free socials paid from your dues.

The dues for non-members of the SPJST will be 15c cents per month and 30c this first time only. The same discount of 10 per cent will be given if they pay one year in advance. Remember, SPJST members, that only by paying your dues will you be able to vote and hold office.

Something real, real special is being planned after the meeting. I guarantee it will really be a surprise! At the meeting, plans will be made for our Christmas Evening, because I know you'll want to be on the program and start earning those points.

Our last meeting was very successful, and I feel certain this one will be bigger and better. Of course, it will be up to you dear members, so please support your youth, encourage your youth, and make our youth club at Lodge 29 the success that it surely could be.

So youth, don't forget your dues, and don't forget to come — Sunday, NOV.

LODGT NO. 40, HILLJE. Dear Readers, Yesterday, Sunday, Nov. 13, the Youth Club of Lodge No. 40 played host to the Sweet Home Youth Club.

Those who did not attend missed a very enjoyable afternoon. While the Sweet Home band played the children from the Hillje youth club had a ball dancing.

Later in the afternoon we all went down to the Hillje Rest Home where the children played and danced for the grandpas and grandmas. We were all served cookies and punch.

All of us adults, as well as the children, had a hard time getting away from the Rest Home. We enjoyed presenting this program for the old folks.

It made all of us feel so good that we at least brought a little happiness into the lives of those folks.

When we came back to the hall a delicious lunch was waiting for us, prepared by Chuck and Jo , Ann Schwartzkopf.

I hope that the Sweet Home youth club enjoyed themselves as much as we enjoyed having them down at Hillje, Texas.

Now all we have to do is roll our sleeves up and make some of these dreams come true.

court said: "The Fourteenth Amendment is not confined to the protection of citizens."

(A public service feature of the American Mar Association and the State Bar of Texas. Written by Will Bernard.)

Strangers in Our Midst "And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land," says the Bible, "ye shall not vex him."

More than 3,000,000 resident aliens sojourn with us in our land. Inevitably, they are subject to various rules pertaining to their special status — rules about immigration, registration, naturalization, and deportatic-L. But what about their everyday activities? Legally, how do resident aliens satond in comparison with citizens? How much do we "vex" them?

In most respects, they have the same status as citizens. They have the same right to live in physical safety, to win redress in our courts, to exercise freedom of speech, press, and religion.

They have the same guarantee against double jeopardy, self-in-crimination, cruel or unusual punishment, the taking of their property without due process of law.

And they have the same duty to obey traffic laws, to live up to their contracts, to nay income taxes.

Nevertheless, they may lawfully be set apart in ways logically related to their lack of citizenship.

Thus, aliens are denied the right to vote. For, traditionally, the power of ballot belongs only to those who, by birth or naturalization, are members of the nation's political partnership.

What about earning a living? Here, too, discrimination based on rational grounds is lawful. For example: A law banning aliens from the liquor trade was held valid, because that occupation has a potential relationship to crime. The court said lawmakers might, reasonably expect less regard for our laws from aliens, who do not share in the governing process, than from citizens who do.

On the other hand, an effort to keep aliens out of the laundry business was held unconstitutional. The court could not see any peril to the public welfare in the mere doing of laundry by aliens. Pointing to the "equal protection" clause of the Constitution, the

WHY DIDN'T I. . . . BUY MORE LIFE INSURANCE EARLIER? In trying to protect your family, you made some judgments that were sound as far as they went. But if you knew THEN what you know NOW, you would have no doubt devote,d a larger amount of income to the purchase of life insurance. A good percentage of our nation's fatalities are heads of families under 35.

A man's judgment is no better than his information. See your SE.IST representative and see what adequate life insurance will do for you — and your family.

16. LISTOPADU 1966

OU REDAKeNiHO STOLKU TO I ONO Den veterant, co pripada kaIdY rok na 11. listopadu, se drive slavil jako Den primal, totiZ" "Armistice Day".

Tento svatek vznikl po ukoneeni prvni svetove valky, kdy byl prohlaAen konec valky o jedenacte hodine dne 11. listopadu, ca jest take jedenactY mesic.

Po druhe svetove valce, vdeenY narod chtel take vzdat test a dik tern padlYm one valky, take se den prejmenaval na "Veterans' Day", a zaroven se dava test vgem padlYm vAech valek, y e kterYch Amerika mela iteast.

Americana jsou lide mirni, nechteji dalAtch valek. Melt jsme uz toho dost.

Ale jenom chtit mir does nestaei, to /tam dejiny sveta dokazuji. Mnozi dali svoje Z'ivoty za jejich vlast; druzi ztratili bud' nohu, ruku, nebo oboje, jini zas trpeli ye veznicich nepratela. Jini zas stali kaklou chvili pied tvari smrti a nebezpeei. Mfaeme bYti jisti, ze nikdo z na gich vojinn ne gel s radosti do bitvy; velice malo z nich s radosti na rukovalo do Aiku nagich vojsk. Presto, ale Ali, vykonali svoji povinnost — a tim Amerika zustala svobodnou zemi...

Amerika se nestala svobodnou zemi samosebou, prikrytim at a hlasenim svetu, 'Ze mir je krasnY .. Samo se to vgechno nestalo. Jest to zeme svobodna protae na gi lids znaji, co mir a svoboda jsou, a vedi, 2e svoboda a mir

J. SVATOPLUK MACHAR: Prvni a hlavni povinnost nag' sam k sobs. Aby ses stal celYm abys udelal ze sebe eloveka v pravem slova smyslu. V§e ostatni je fed yenebot' jest diisledkem teto prve, hlavni povinnosti. Jako celS, mui a jako pravY elovek budes platnou jedniekou jak sve spole'enosti, tak sveho naroda, a takova jednieka ,jak vi§, vice plati ,net tisice prazdnlYch nicek. mohou vyait jenom ti, kteri jsou ochotni za ne bojovat i umfit. . .!

Neni rodiny, aby z ni nekdo nepotrpel v poslednich dvou valek. Bud' to byl mantel, bratr, strYc, dokonce i dcera a sestra, ktera obetovala svuj 2ivot za rodinu a za vlast. Nam to pripomina, nejstarAiho syna manielt 1gride SenkyrikovYch, kterY polozil svilj 'Zivot na dalnym, neznamYm ostrove Hongu v Japonsku v posledni valce.

TakovYch bylo na tisice. . . A kaMY by si mel vzpomenout za co flak milt padli, co vAechno pro nas udelali — jen proto, abychom my mohli dale spokojene zit ve svobodne vlasti. Nezapomeneme na ne a zustaftme jim verni!

Jest nutno jo g*" jednou pripomenout nag e vYroent schtize, kde se budou volit radovi urednici na pri gti rok. A jak pie br. Kaiak od radu C. 133 v San Antoniu, 'dent, kteri nechteji prijmout

Podivejme se nejdkive na perspektivy Sovetskeho svazu a vYchodni Evropy, jak se jevi americkemu departmentu zemedelstvi. LetoAni sklizeri pknice v Sovetskem svazu neni mot p•ozadu za rekordni sklizni z roku 1964. V Jugoslavii a v Buharsku se rekordil ne bo alespori vYbornYch vYsledkti dosahuje pray& letos.

Zlata kaplieka nad Vltavou B. Lad. Capova-Richterova, V letoSnim roce — 12. srpna uplynulo prave osmdesatpet let od polaru Narodniho divadla v Praze. Dnes by se asi jiZ tako hledali parnetnici tohoto osudneho dne, vklyt' u2 valem ubYvame i my, kteti jsme o tom slYchali ,od generate nakch otct.

Vzpominam, jak nejednou se rozhovotil mtj otec i mati, nejen o polaru, ale i o zdlouhavem vzniku nak "z1ate kaplieky nad Vltavou".

Jak znamo, hravala se eeska ptedstaveni nejprve ye Stavoyskern divadle, a to jenom v nedeli a ye svatek odpoledne. Teprve v polovine minuleho stoleti utvotil se Sbor pro vYsta ybu samostatneh.o enskeho divadla s F. L. Riegrem v eele a zahajeny sbirky v celem eeskem narode. AvS'ak neptizniye tehdejk pomery politicks matily zdar techto ukechtilYYch snah. Vzdor tomu v'Sak bylo v roce 1852 zakoupeno staveniete na btehu Vltavy, ale zahajeni stavby, pro ptekalky vladou stale kladene, se protahovalo, a bylo proto — zasluhou Riegrovou — ptikrokno ku stavbe prozatimniho eeskeho divadla, ktere bylo postaveno behem Aesti mesicu, kde pak ihned zapoeaty pravidelne Ceske hry.

Sbor pro vystaveni narodniho divadla jakmile nastaly priznivejk okolnosti, zahajil znovu svou einnost pinou silou. Vypsany nove sbirky a narod eeskY, s obetavosti fictyhodnou a nadknim, jeZ nema hned tak pfkladu, sbiral !ptispe yky, take koneene 16. kvetna r. 1868 polaen slavne zakladni kamen k budoucimu Narodnimu divadlu. Stavba jeho v gak byla ukoneena teprve r. 1881 a hry zahajeny sla y -nostimpedavnimSetaovyLi-

Se svetoveho hlediska ovlivni ovkm situaci take troda v eine. Pro ni neuvadi americky department zemedelstvi Zadna, konkratni eisla, ale po znamenava, ze poeasi tarn bylo neptiznive a ze importni potteby 6iny ztistanou vysoke.

Celkem v§ak vYvoz pknice ze zemi, ktere ji tradiene vyvakji, poklesne o nekolik milionti tun. To se v nich nepovaZuje za Zadnou tragedii, protok objemnY vYvoz v uplynulYch letech odeerpal jejich zasoby a ty se proste letos dopini.

Ve feech techto zemich letokti produkce pknice v porovnani s lonskou stoupla. Je to zejmena pet zmi, jimZ se v teto souvislosti kika "Velka petka": Spojene staty, Kanada, Australie, Argentina a Francie.

Spojene stay jsou u2. 20 let nejvetpknice na svete; vloni sim vyvezly skoro 24 miliony tun. Plocha, na ktere se v Americe pestuje pknice, bude behem pti gtiho roku rozitena. V Kanade uz byla rozeifena od loriska — a to o sedm procent. V Kanade stejne jako v Australii — vyvoz nekolikandsobne pijevy guje domdci spottebu.

Francie je podle velikosti vYvozu nejmengi v teto Velke piece, a letos — vzhledem k nepfiznivemn poeasi — se tam take sklidi mene pknice neZ ni; ma fAak tak velkou zasobu, ze Intik vyvHet i noddle.

Ve svetovem metitku se sklizen nice letos odhaduie na 259 milionri tun, coZ je o etyti miliony tun vice, neZ; v poslednim rekordnim roce 1964 a o 14 miliony tun vice, ne" vloni. A v dlouhodobe perspektive bude podle odha-

Norod plesal. Ale jeh oradost trvala jen velmj kratce. JeAte v tomta roce, 12. srpna; divadlo bylo znieeno krutYrn paarern.

Celt' narod bral uotimnou *Host na tomto negtescti. Kdekdo byl aim ottesen do hloubi duk a tisice oei nemelo dosti slz. Mati moje mi nejednou vypravela ,jak jeji otec — mfij dededek litosti plakal.

Ve stkedu 16. listopadu 1966 Ale narod, bohudiky, se brzy probral ze zarmutku, znovu napjal vekere sve sily a zahajil nove sbirky, ktere behem jednoho roku vynesly pies milion zlatYch, takle zahy mohlo bYt ptikroeeno k dilu, aby se narod za sve °heti doekal dtistojneho stanku dramatiskeho umeni eeskeno.

A tak dye leta pa polaru, znovu zahajena ptedstaveni v nove budove, ()pet slavnYmi fanfarami Smetanovy "Libuee". Bohukl, ze Mistrovi osud nedoptal, aby opera byla provedena pod jeho taktovkou, o eern2 — jak piye sve vzpomince na ss neho — pry po leta snil, nebot' toto sve krasne dilo napsal vedome k teto slavne ptilelitosti.

A dnes, po tolika letech, svadi to eloveka k hlubokemu zamykeni, jak dlouho musel tehdy narod eeskY &kat. ne g-li se uskuteenil jeho sen. Co ptekaZek musel pfekonat ,co mravenei trpelivosti a obetavosti bylo tteba, ne2-li se doeka vysledku. A mane se naskYta otazka: nebyl tehdy na g. narod piece jen lepk?

Trpel pocitern pokoreni pri mySlence, ze by matka, m.ohla po2,na„ Ze ho dornii talc predeasne priveneco jinelro„ net posluSne vypineni jejiho prani.

Doutal, ze tu nejakYrn zaz akem zapomene na vAe, co se stalo, ale zatim se mu ulevilo jen nepatrne a to jeSte, ktlyZ byli kolera neho ti, ktere mel rad.

Jakmiie byl sam, trYznil se myMenkanal, z niche nejneodbytnejsi byla jestli se snad piece nemYlil a sleena Dostalova nebyla Slavce jen podobna. Byl to uboze slabY paprsek nadeje, ktery ihned zhasila vzpominka, jak se ulekla a hledala spasu v nteku. To byl kaz tak nezvra.tnY,, e kOda, pochybnost byla smegna.

Pak ji spatril tu, v Habrove, na hititove na hibitove. Zaeervenala se, kdyt se jejich oci setkaly v'Sak thela prod.

Vlastne po tom vSem sem nemela bec jezdit, tolik ohiedu k nemu prece mohla mit. Zlobil se na ni, aby si nemusil priznat, to v ni nebylo ani trochu vitezne yydvavosti, ale pino nit a prosby, tak detsky se chvejici v jejich modrYch odich. . . Toto sethaul ho tak rozruSilo, 2e mist() domft zamiril ze hibitova, do lesa a tervalo to nekolik dni„ net se trochu uklidnil.

Teprve kdyt na girazi byla otevrena pila a on nastoupil misto, prisla klena uleva, Vrhl se do prace jako hlaclovy do jidla. Jeho zamestnavatel, bohaty obchodnik drivim, vida, jak 11bornou silu v nem ziska Pro' sviaj podnik, talc si ho oblibil, 2e kul plan trvale Si ho nripoutat.

Byl to vS"ak dobrosrdeenY, otevreny mut, jenruZ nebylo nic tak valaleno jako a lest. Bylo skoro pravde nepoclobne, ze je potomkem Charvata, kter' pied pail stoletim polo211 zaklad blahobytu svello roclu zmisboem neeestnYm a, fisko:0Vm.

Poznal to ke sve strode bylo nozcle, a proto dovedl ocenit poklad, jaky ziskal v Lubotovi.

Vychoval ji pro mantelstvi, prave talc, jako by byl vychoval svoji dceru, nebot' v teto otazce byl houZevnate konservativni. Milea se mela vdat a mit deti, aby on motel bYt dedeekem. Byla site jeSte dost mlada, ale on pokladal za svou povinnost zajistit ji Zenicha netli ji bude dvacet A tu mu priSel na mysl Lubog. HodnY Koch, vyborny idednik. Milea by si nemohla prat lep'Siho a on by mel po starosti, ze mu odejde, Luskl prsty potegen vlastni chytrosti a protole„ co ho napadlo a zdalo se mu dobre, ihned take provedl, vyhledal Lubok a bod ge mu rekl, kdyby se mu Milea libila, on ze by proti tomu nic nemel.

Lubog se zardel jako devee. Zvykl site jit Charvatove otevtenosti, avAak v tett) delikatni zalektosti byla mu trapna. Jeho schovanky si vlastne dosud ani poradne nev giml, miuvil s ni jen kdyt to bylo opravdu nevyhnutelne, a ani ye snu mu nenapadlo, aby snad.

Na Slesti Charvat tolik ohledu piece mel, ze na nem netadal odpOvedi. Jen mu I.ekl„ aby o tom premY glel, ale i kdyt v sobe nenajde touhy uchazet se o Mileu, ze to pro vtdy zustane mezi nima dvema a na jejich vzajemnem pomeru to pranieeho nezmeni.

To Lubok ,smirilo a pomyslil Si, elovek Charvatova slohu by byl zcela plijemnYm tchanem. Ale k Milde ho to pies to nevabilo o nic vice, ae se zaby presvecleil, ze i zde by mel snadnou praci. Tento objev mu vAak nelichotil, jak by se dale eekat. Nernohl se ubraniti dojmu, 2e mu nadbiha podle tinnluvy s pestonuem a ze by se prave talc mela k jinemu na jeho miste. Tu, i v Habrove, nebylo jineho na vhodneho 'tenicha pro ni.

SnaZil se ji omluvit nerozumem middi, ale call, ze jista davka povrchnosti je v ni piece. Byla sice hezoueka, mela eel jako trnky a tilko jako proutek, ale neclovedla byt ani chvilku vAAna, smala se 1 bez vklike plidiny k veselosti a libovala si v M yYch barvach.

Leto, tiro nedherneje"1 no studenem jam, vyreSilo bo z nete6nosti jeho, jet se zmocnila jeho duk no bolesti.

A vskutku leto, je g pkiglo tenief bez prechodu, bylo pkekrasne a slibovalo boha,tou trodu. Lubog snad byl jedinY, jeng se z toho neradoval.

Beloglute koberce zrajiclho obili, Protkane nachovYmi kvety vleich razern zbakily jeho pracne vybudovanY klid a vzpominky na Slavku pied nimig prchl z Prahy, zaoaly ho pronasledovat i tu.

Pied rokem, v tenth eas tu, byla. — Virile sena mu po ka gde pkipomenula, jak ji vitr, kdyg sem jela, zvedl kloboueek, vlei maky, jak ji vyhanel z obili a travnatY svah pod lesem jejich seznameni.

I chute waci v ten eas pozbyl, a byl rad, kdyi mu Charvat nabidl dovolenou. Toulal se po lese vyhYbaje se misttm, kudy chodil se Slavkou, ale rnySlenkam na ni neubranil se piece.

Z dista jasna, jako kdy g blesk zasahne — ho napadlo, ge je jig davno vdana, a on, ubohy blazen, se jeSte k ni trap!.

Slavka genou Ostra mueiva bolest projela mu srdcem.

Nemohl tomu vent, nedovedl si to piedstavit. Stal, -Wee dYchaje, ve vYbegku lesa, ktery clonil vyhled z Hraze na Habrovou. Letni podvek, pinY tih ekrasy a poesie, sklanel se nad kraj. Denni teplY vzduch pkijemne, zviagnel a pfijimal do sebe tajemne vilne a zvuky Wale' se noci. Mezi stromy prokmitaval ohnive zlatY zapad jako velike hvezdy, nebo veeernil svetla planouci nad mestem.

Bylo tak ticho ge az z Hraze sem zavznival divei zpov. Milea Charvatova si zpivala jasnYm, jistYm hlaskem.

Vyletela holubenka ze skaly, probudila modre oei ze span!..

Lubog se nahle zasmal, kratce a suk.

Vyglehla v nem vzpominka, jeg se nehodila vgak se do to negne krasy kolem. Sam nevedel, kde se vzala„ ale byla tu.

Vzpominka na jeho bytnou Mare goyou, na jeji peel o nej, kdyg odjadel.

Zase se zasmal tak sue a nehezky a zatvrzele odvraceje oei od vedernich pilvabil piirody, jeg jako by na neho hledely s vYditkou; razne zamikil k Habrove.

Negel vgak Avozovou cestou ke vsi, nYbrg odboeil na peginu k Dostalove chaloupce. Jig mesic chodil kolem, neodvaguje se vstoupit, abkoliv chaloupka j gi nepatki Anegce Dostalove, nybrg jemu.

Byl bezdetnYan vdovcem, ted' si Ane gku odvedl do sve chalupy, premluviv ji, aby prodala bardeek pod snopky, kterY ji pkipominal trudne dny jejiho givota.

Lubog jej koupil bez vedomi mateina.

Prod to, udelal, nevedel dobke sam, jen citil, ze by tu bylo je gte krugneji, kdyby v tomto domeeku, ktery pro neho kdysi tolik znamenal ,meli bydlet cizi lide.

Nyni stal ve stinu stare lipy, a upkene hledel do okenek, v nichg nebylo letos kvetin. Jen zapadajici slunce se v nich shligelo stejne zakive, zlatic to bulky skla, jako kdyby za nimi ye svetnici hokely bohate lustry.

Lubog myslil na Ane gku Dostalovou a na Vojtecha Pakizka, na to dve prosta srdce, je g dovedla tak vznegene milovat a pojednou mu bylo tak stydno ze si umirioval, ge ziistane doma.

Ale kdyg rano otevfel stkizlive oei den a on si vzpomnel, ze Slavka se ted' probouzi vedle sveho mute, zmizelo vge negne, a vznegene z jeho due a on jet piece. . .

Hluk a ruch velkeho mesta dotkl se jeho sluchu jako melodic zname pisne.

Prochazel beze spechu ulicemi, uvaguje o nejakem pravdepodobnern duvodu sve navatevy pro pripad„ kdyby byl Mareg doma. To se sice stavalo velice zkidka, ale co kdyby prave dnes?

Nebylo by tuze prijemne upadnout prod nim do rozpakt, z nich g by takovY zkugenY Do nJuan okamgite poznal, kolik uhodilo. Rozhodl se radeji, bude chodit pa meste, nee mu neco kloudneho napadne. Nechodil v gak jeg g tu se ozvalo od--teaniplhodiny,k kud si s "Halo, Zdendo!"

Ve stkedu 16. listopadu 1966 Lubog se pkekvapenim pozastavil, kdo to tak ignoruj e piedpisy i slu gnost a ejhle! Z okna prveho poschodi, prave nad nim,, vyklanel se jeho byvaly kolega z banky Jogka Chytil a daval mu divoka znameni, jeg patrne byla vybidnutim, aby vstoupil do domu.

Lubog, jemug toto setkani nepfiglo dvakrate v hod, elatel zprvu piedstirat, ge nerozumi, ale je gto hrozilo nebezpeei, ge Chytil vypadne z okna, nebo upouta pozornost policisty, radeii pochopil, a s nenadSenou tvaki stoupal do prveho poschodi.

Chytil mu prigel sam otevkit a ac byl tak, jak asi pied malou chvili vstal z postele, rozcuchanY a v pomaekanem pyjama, vital h oslavnostne a tab! dale.

"Vstup do me mladenecka svatyne, drahY pkiteli," deklamoval, otviraje dveke pokoje, z jeho okna se pied tim daval na ulici.

Ve "svatyni" byl bohumily nepordaek, rozestlana postel, a kusy gatit malebne rozlogene po vgech gidlich„ takge Lubog by si malem nebyl mel kam sednout.

Chybil vgak byl jako vzorny hostitel, jemug pro pohodli hostovo neni nic tegkeho, rude shodil na zem vestu, v jejig kapse new podezkele klaplo a pohybem, dle sveho domneni pinYm nevidane elegance, postreil pkiteli sedadlo. P11 torn vSak, gel, glapl na ocas angorskemu kocouru, jen g zakvilel v uS'lectilem bolu, a urazen do hloubi sve duge vlezl si pod still.

To vge odehralo se v nekolika vtekinach.

"Ty ma take dovolenou,, Jo gko?" zaeal rozhovor Lubog.

Chybil vytahl bosou nohu z trepky, zase ji tam vsunul a zasmal se.

"Cloveee, jako ministr." "s, tebou neni rozumna mrzel se Lubog.

"Ale .ja, mluvim vague. , Zdendo, na mou dugi. Dokud si nenajdu misto tak jsem bez neho" tvrdil s upkimnou horlivosti Chybil, ale hned se dal do smichu vlastni moudrosti.

Lubog se viak nesmal.

"Tys bez mista, Jogko?"

"A ty se tomu divig ?" opaeil tying tonem Chybil.

"Jak by ne. Ze "Zlateho dolt" se pro nic za nie neutika."

Chybil na okamgik hledel mleky a nemohlo se fici, ze jeho oblieej mel tom vyraz duchapinY. "ja, piece odnikud neuteki."

"Tak to dali sami prye?"

"Ale kdepak!" vybuchi Chybil. Na-

Ve stkedu 16. listopadu 1900 hle mu oei zajiskrily, dosed' s vysoka na tidli a hlasite se rozesmal.

Lubog krajne udiven timto obratem, eekal, at se upokoji.

"Bud' tak laskav," tadal ho, kdyst se tak skuteene stab "a povez mi, co ti tak najednou priglo k smichu."

"Hned se to dovig," slibil Chybil vesele, "ale napred mi povez, kde ted' vlastrie jsi? Na jinni nebo na severni toene?"

"U nas jsem, v Habrove," kekl mrzute Lubog jemut se nechtelo tertovat.

"0 je„ to musi bYt teda hnizda," zatrepal Chybil rukou ye vzduchu a tvakil se naramne opovrzlive, "ani tam noviny neprodavaji."

"Prodavaji!"

"Tak ty je neete g," trumfl Chybil.

"Proe mysli g ?" tazal se Lubo g jiz mene j is t 6.

"Proto bys jinak musi' vedet, ze se t"ZlatY dal" ,jednoho krasneho dne ocitl na dne, eili, ze jsme nedavno s velkou pompou zkrachli."

"Ale to nen' mane!" vykkikl Lubog z bledly na smrt. Nevedel skutene o nieem. Byl posledni dni tak rozeilen, 1 na noviny zapomnel, a maminka ho nepkiparnatovala, jako jindy einivala.

"A pros by to nebylo motile?" vykladal s chuti Chybil. "Zaeali jsme s yellkou slavou a nemohli jsme s ni skonChteli jsme omrdeit svet spoustou ritednictva, kteremu jsme dali nejen velike tituly„ ale i velike platy. zakidili jsme se tak pkepychove, ze v gecky stare banky vypadaly proti nam chude — zkratka potrpeli jsme si na representaci, hnali jsme se za ni jako bezhlavi a takhle to dopadlo."

"Ale pfece tu musi bYt je gte bYt jina pkidina, nekdo kdo snad — —" zaeal Lubog vragte 'dela v bolestne vrasky.

Chybil ho zarazil theatralnim gestem.

"Poshov, synu muj. — To je rougka, ktera, na mmladYm rikednikiim, zfistane pro vkly spugtena, Neein pokusu rozhrnouti ji. Mozna, ze bys za ni uzfel veci, jet by svou nekalosti otravily tvoji mladou dugi. Jen to je jiste, ze pan generalni, ac to zni skoro jako pohadka — je v to zaiditsoti tak nevinnY, jako na pkiklad my dva. Chudak, doplatil na to."

Lubog jen tazave zvedl oel.

"Je nebatik piece; mrtvice z rozelleni," fekl Chybil, tentokrate bete v geho potvokeni. "To vig , to byla ram, pro neho. On byl vklycky takovY dilvekivY dobrae a ted' tohle. . A a milostivou to dopadlo taky gpatne. Pkesko-

"Nema, brachu, nema. Z toho mradna nebyl dent'."

"Nechal ji ted', kdyt vyskoeil Lubog, ze se Chytil at lekl.

"Clovede, netrhej mi tady sebou jako na ketezu. S tebou ta Slavka, vklycky nejak podezrele hne. Jako tenkrat v zime v bance. Zdendo, jako vlastne bylo?"

Lubog, ac vedel, ze ho tato otatka nemine, piece se zaclavel, a rekl, hlede zachmukene k zemi: "Prigel jsem na navgtevu. JnZko„ a ne k vyslechu."

"No, dobke, dobfe, ja, teda nechci nic vedet, doeista nic. — A ten Arnold, co si mel sleenu Slavku vzit, piece neni takovy holomek, jako ty si myslig.
