FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER

A CREED

Delegates and alternate delegates are not paired off. EVery four years, during the elections preceding a convention year, there arises some confusion about the relative position of delegates and alternates. There are some who believe that they are paired off, that is, that a certain alternate replaces a certain delegate if and when it becomes necessary. This is not the case.

There is a destiny that makes us all brothers; None goes his way alone: All that we send into the lives of others Comes back into our own.

I care not what his temples or his creeds, One thing holds firm and fast That into his fateful heap of days and deeds The soul of man is cast.

—Edwin Markham

Let us take the case of a lodge with 4 delegates, and of course, 4 alternate delegates. The alternate receiving the highest number of votes is the first to replace any one of the four delegates who is not able to go to the convention. Let's call all the delegates A, B, C, and D. Let us assume that delegate D cannot go to the convention. The first alternate (one with the highest number of votes) replaces him.

He does not necessarily replace the delegate who received the highest number of votes. Then if delegate B is unable to go, the alternate who received the second highest number of votes replaces him.

In other words, alternates are not paired with delegates. Article 7 c of our by-laws states, in part, "The alternate with the highest number of votes fills in the first vacancy." which

may or may not be the delegate with the highest number of votes.

Some of this misunderstanding may stem from the form sent out by the Supreme Lodge for the listing of delegates and alternates. Brother Urbanovsky tells us that the form was originally drawn up for those lodges with just one delegate and one alternate.

The form lists the delegate at the top and the alternate at the bottom, giving the impression that the alternate replaces the delegate named above.

That, of 'course, is true where there is only one delegate and one alternate, but is not the case where there are more than one.

• • Our by-laws. While on the subject of our by-laws, we should like to make

a few observations. By-laws, rules, regulations, charters, and constitutions should not be difficult or impossible for the person of average intelligence to comprehend. Some people feel that you are supposed to include a lot of fancy gobbledygook that is supposed to be beyond the comprehension of the average person. All that is really required is some good, common, literate English. If the average person can't understand it or make heads nor tails out of it, it's not of much value. They are not supposed to be difficult and unwieldy.

There is nothing mysterious or sanctimonious about our by-laws and such.

Laws are written for people because they deal with people. The sentence structure in some places could stand a little remodeling. I believe this stems from attempts to sound "legalistic."

In thumbing through our by-laws at random we came upon Article 19.

This is a good example of putting the cart in front of the horse, the predicate ahead of the subject. This style is used in Czech and in German, but not in English. In Art. 19 the rather long sentence should have been started with line 8 thusly: "Delegates of every district will conduct nominations and elections . . . (now back to the beginning) for the purpose of arranging," etc., etc. There is likewise no special

Wednesday, January 17, 1968 advantage in long drawn-out sentences.

The same goeS . 22; e. There are others, The there are instances where the English is rine but the ra P aning is vague, or easily subject to misinter p -retaion.Ishrt,weouldstrive write all of these articles in a manner so that everyone would be of one mind as to their meaning. There should be no need to ask for someone's interpretation. When you seek someone's interfYretation, that indicates that a good many people who are reading the some thing don't , understand it the same way. Writing them in this manner may be striving for something near perfection, but I believe we can go a long way in that direction.

Finally, we are reminded of the Roman emperor Caligula who had a • habit of having certain laWs and decrees inscribed high on the pillars of the buildings of Rome so that the populace could not see them. When he wanted to levy additional taxes and charges on his subjects he had them inscribed low on the pillars for all to clearly see.

Laws are for all of Us., Let them be readable and understandable. Let's forget the fancy legalese and use good literate En glish. I know the ByLaw ComMittee is working hard toward this end. The task is an arduous one.

Good luck to them! • Registel Vole! We all need tn be reminded again that the deadline for citizens to register in order to be able to vote is Jan. 31st. One of the new laws enacted in 1967 makes voter registration necessary for ail persons over 60 years of age and who live in rural communities and towns under 10.000 population. Heretcfore, persons over 60 were required to register only if they lived in cities having more than 10,000 population.

Texas voters must register every year. The 1968 voting year will start March 1, 1963 and will end Feb. 28th, 1969. The registration period for the 1053 voting year began last Oct. 1st, and will end this Jan. 31st. Registration blanks are being cached cut by county tax collectors, in banks, and this year are being printed in most of the state's newspapers. There is no cost. Fulfill your obligations as a citizen. It is a precious right! Register and vote!

Insurance in December Christmas spirit and New Year's res-

Wednesday, January 17, 1968 olutions may have something to do with it, but they probably aren't the most important reasons why Americans buy more life insurance during December than in any other month.

It happens just about every year, according to the Institute of Life Insurance. Last year, Americans bought almost $8.5 billion of "ordinary" life insurance in December — or about $213 million more than in March, the second biggest month. In 1965, December's "ordinary" purchases topped March's by $271 million.

Agency executives of several leading life ,companies explain that the feeling of family "togetherness" around Christmas certainly influences purchases of life insurance. But probably a bigger psychological factor is people's desire to bet their personal finances in good order before year-end.

How about you?

Baca Musical History Published Mr. Cleo R. Baca, one of the many descendants of the famous Baca Family , one of the old-time Czech musical families in the State of Texas, has just completed a book entitled, "Baca's Musical History; 1860-1968." The 72page book is now available to the public at a cost of $5 and may be ordered directly from the author, Mr. Cleo Baca, Rt. 1, Box 528, Dickinson, Texas 77539. The book contains 65 pictures of the various Baca musical groups down through the years and their contribution to Texas Czech music. Mr. Baca spent many years gathering material for this book.

The leadership of the Czechoslovak government has changed in the last couple of weeks. President Antonin Novotny is no longer secretary-general of the party. He was replaced in that post by Alexander Dulahk, a Slovak.

Novotny retains his post as president, now largely a figurehead position.

The new • year started out rather cold, leaving large portions of our state covered with sleet and freezing,' rain. givin g most of the children a second holiday from school.

As secretar y of Lodge 47, I wass appointed to write a re port on the progress of membership during 1967.

We have a group of hard-working organizers in our lodge and district.

They did a great job in signing up ante a number of a pplicants into Lod ge 47 during the past year.

But, as the old saving goes, there are alwa ys two sides to everything.

For those who are interested in how many members we've gained and how many we've lost during the year 1957 in p omp 47, I wish to renort that we g ained 89 members as follows: as adults were admitted 27 juveniles were admitted 0 adult transfers 10 juvenile transfers 3 adults took out additional Policies 1 invenile took out additional policy 89 Total members gained Members lost during 1967 were as follows: 3 adults transferred 2 juveniles transferred

10 adults suspended 9 j uveniles suspended 5 members passed away 43 members with policies (?—ED) 72 members lost during 1967.

As the report showed, we have gained 89 members and lost 72. through death, paid-up policies, suspensions, and transfers. We really didn't gain but 17 members during the whole year.

Nevertheless, thanks to our hardworking organizers, our gain is larger than the loss.

Sisters and brothers, if there are any prospects that you know of refer them to one of the organizers, or contact the organizers. They are always ready and willing to call on the prospects and discuss all the different types of insurance the SPJST had to offer. I'm sure all the help will be appreciated by the organizers and the new applicants will benefit by getting one of the best insurance policies available.

Fraternally, Mrs. Walter Haisler, Secretary, Route 4, Temple —SPJSTLODGE NO 84, DALLAS Dear Members, On Dec. 29th, the entertainment committee of Lodge 84 gathered at the hall for a delicious dinner and afterward held its first business meeting.

We elected Bro. Emil Petr as our new chairman. Due to illness, several members were unable to be present; therefore, Chairman Petr pleaded to have another meeting one evening during the first week in January. Not sure of his own health status, he was unable to give a definite date, but assured us a phone call would be made to each member. One sure thing discussed was the dance Jan. 20th. The "Music Masters" from Ennis will entertain that evening. Also discussed was our lodge's 58th anniversity on Feb. 18th, and the dinner and program for that day. Line your family up and arrive early—OK? To Chairman Petr, congratulations!

Let's assure him we are behind his efforts to make our lodge's hospitality second to none, and to our former chairman Leonard Baleja, we wish to say "thank you" for a magnificent job.

We are grateful.

—SPJSTLODGE- NO. 6, COTTONWOOD Dear Brothers and Sisters, Despite cold and rainy weather, Moray sti 13ratri Lodge No. 6 at Cottonwood held their regular monthly meeting on Jan. 7th, 1967. Below is a report of the important proceedings of that meeting.

After the meeting was called to order by re-elected president Joe R. Sumbera, Bobby Svrcek and Edward Helona enthusiastically led the entire membership present in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag. Following the pledge, the roll call of officers and youth leaders found all present, except the reporter.

The secretary's report of the December meeting was approved as read, and the treasurer's report showed a good gain.

Correspondence included a letter from the Supreme Lodge in behalf of the National Fraternal Congress, of which our SPJST is a member, requesting and stressing the importance of conducting a survey within each lodge to determine the amount of charitable, benevolent, and fraternal activities held throughout 1967. The object of this survey is to have facts available to present to the law makers of cur county, state and nation, who are considering the possibility of taxing fraternals; to prove to them that the fraternal benefit societies do more than just provide insurance protection to their members. This report must be compiled and mailed to the Supreme Lodge by April 1, 1968, and with this in mind every member of Lodge No. 6 is encouraged to help in the completion of this report.

After correspondence, the following new members were accepted into Lodge No. 6: Jerome J. Polansky, (adult) ; juvenile members Darrell G. Uptmor, Dana Bete Goelzer, Jackie Lynn Bailey, Billie M. Bailey, Marvin J. Bailey, Mildred A. Bailey, and Bradley S. McMahen.

Dear Members, There is an important date in February that you should circle, and that is Feb. 18th, when Lodge 88 has its Anniversary Celebration. It all starts with a delicious barbecued beef dinner served from 12 noon throughout the day. Arid listen to this: all yoll who have been asking for a chance to see the comedy wedding we had at the fall district meeting, here is your chance to see it. The youth of Lodges 81, 88, 142, and 146- have agreed to put this wedding on again at our anniversary celebration at 2 p.m.; there will be no admission charge, so all you have to do is be there! The wedding will be followed by one of those, great Vrazel dances.

Youth Leader Marlene Caraway is off to a mighty good start! She has some good assistant leaders: Regina Oste,rhaus, who has charge of the Junior Youth Club, Viola Cox, Gladys Sembera, Mary Schenburn, and Doris Knapick. Marlene started something new and that is "The Youth Club Gazette," giving newsy items about the lodge clubs. She and her assistants will continue having the teen dances on i riday, started by past Youth Leader Wanda Elzner, and she will also continue the same careful supervision for which these dances are famous. Corning events of the youth in the near future are tee pancake supper served before the lodge's February meeting, going to the rodeo, the sweetheart contest at the teen dances in February, and participation in the lodge anniversary celebration. Both Marlene and her husband Tommy are going to attend the Longhorn Recreation Laboratory at Glen Rose, for a week; there they will be learning leadership, program development, crafts, ganles, dances, and many new ideas for the youth.

It's a good stew supper this Thursday, so try to come out and see for yourself, how good the stew is. The usual social follows tbe supper.

The Entertainment Committee elected the following officers: Chairman — Harle y Cox; Vice Chairman — Bob Hill; Secretary — Pearl Hanka; Treasurer — Rosa Lee Kostom; Booking of Orchestras — Evelyn Vornsand; Sound Technician — Ray Dixon; Telephone Committee — Ruby Cernosek, Almeda Bravenec and Carol Blackwell; Food Chairman — Annie Vala; Publicity

NAMES IN THE NEWS: People are still talking about the great Christmas party that Jay Wilkinson and his committee gave in the Blue Room! F. A. Kadlecek was another worker at the 'Tee Tiemann dance! Gordon Hrabal niade a real fraternal speech in the Entertainment Committee meeting; he surely has the interest of the lodge at heart and is sure to make a wonderful committee member! Mildred and Gordon Hrabal had charge of the Knights of Dixie dance at which Herbert Kloesel really proved that the show must go on for he played all evening while having high fever! Suzy and Jerry Mazac and Betty and Jody Mazac of Sealy enjoyed the Knights of Dixie music! On arrival at the dance Viola Cox was surprised, by a group of friends, being presented an orchid corsage, a decorated birthday cake and lovely gifts, but probably she was the happiest when she was able to say that the pretty lace dress she wore was made by her daughter Bonnie (another talent of our State Queen)!

Ann Urbanovsky, looking stunning in a new cocktail dress, also celebrated her birthday at this dance! Rosa Lee and Tim Kostom will donate the beverages for the social following our lodge February meeting! President Louis Jlanus was pleased to see a fairly good turnout for the meeting, in spite of the terrible weather! Birthday Club President Della Kadlecek asked for more support of their luncheons and activities and presented our president with a check for $1,500! Tim Kostom announced that a Czech play would probably be presented, in February!

Harley Cax gave a report on coming events at the lodge! John Hilsher, Josephine F,flughaupt, Margaret Liebsell e r, Louise and Kerwin Jacobs, and Evelyn Roeder are our Auditing Committee, and Frances Olexa, Ellen Gill and Mary K.alcusek are on the Resolution Committee! Louis appointed Myrt Hill as parliamentarian and Stephen Valcik as historian! Ed Zalmanek, Maxine Mannig, Stephen Valcik, Louise Kadlecek and Bob o Hill make up our Grievance Committee!

Serving 3-month terms as chairmen are Willie and Adeline Kohutek in charge of the bar, and William and Lillian Kosarek in charge of the kitchen.

We all know these folks can do a good job, but they also have to have the help of each and everyone of us.

That is the only way that you feel like one of the bunch when you pitch in and help without being asked or begged. There will be a film-showing of the various lodge doings Jan. 26 at 6:30. A covered dish supper will be served. William Kosarek is to be at the projector and maybe the narrator, too.

Choral group practice is on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. Come out and join us.

This basis for fairness, credited to Addison, levied upon all civilized men as the ultimate legal axiom, applies to us in the business of our Order no

Wednesday, January 17, 1968 less than it is adhered to throughout the English-speaking world. Addison meant that when our friends push us to help them get what they want, we join in a conspiracy to defeat justice if it is denied to those who oppose them. The principle of justice was adopted as the keynote to our American way of life. When we deny justice to anyone, we are guilty of a basic crime. We have committed a breach of allegiance to our country and to its citizens.

When those of us who are sworn to uphold responsibilities to all of us deviate from our duties for our own personal purposes, it is our duty to require correction of such errors.

In the last paragraph of the Preamble to our Constitution are these words, ". . . that we may better adapt ourselves to this democratic nation as worthy citizens . . . " We, as representatives of our Order, are in violation of our official purpose when we support those members who seek selfish objectives, or who deny justice to others.

In the interest of justice, Brothers, I submit to you that the use of the word "irregularities" should be eliminated from our by-laws and from the attitude of the Supreme Lodge as the basis for corrective action. The word is an expression which can be used, and has been used, to identify prankish and unstable interpretrations of acts actually performed for the best interest of our Order. This has resulted in harm to the affairs and reputation of innocent people. In place of this word, substitute suitable descriptions of acts which would properly render guilty only those who are actually subject to criticism and censure.

YOUTH SECTION FROM THE LODGE YOUTH LEADERS LODGES 59 AND 79, CORPUS CHRISTI Dear Readers, Just a few lines about our Christmas program, which was held Dec. 17, 1967.

Our program began at 7 p.m. and was as follows: Randy Sijansky - "Best Greeting to You"

After the program, Santa Claus came and gave out socks of goodies. Then everyone enjoyed a luncheon prepared by the mothers. Thank you, everyone, for making this program as enjoyable and exciting as it was to every child there.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Mary Ann Pilat, Youth Leader LODGE NO. 88, HOUSTON Dear Readers, Lodge 88 is "off and running" in 1968. Our youth club had their first meeting of the new year Sunday, Jan. 7th. The club voted to have their meetings on the first Sunday of each month at 3 p.m. Any of our members who want to participate in the fun should note that a rule was made Sunday by the youth club that if you want to attend the social activities of the club you have to come to the meetings and work sessions, unless of course, you have a good excuse for not being there.

The teens went bowling after the meeting, and James Vornsand and Frances Vala won the prizes.

The junior group will go to the Theater on Saturday, Jan. 20th, to see the play "Winnie-the-Pooh!"

On Monday, Feb. 12, (preceding the will go to the rodeo and take as our guests four underprivileged children.

We are finally going to get a chance to see how well the youth can cook.

On Monday, Feb. 12, preceding the February meeting), the youth club will sponsor a pancake supper — mouthwatering pancakes oozing with butter and syrup, garnished with delicious sausage and topped off with a good cup of taste-tempting coffee. All of this for a very nominal donation to

the youth. Be sure and mark the date down on your calendar — Monday, Feb. 12th.

Our Sweetheart Contest at our teen dances started the first Friday in January and we will accept entries through the last Friday in January.

Voting can be done at the first two teen dances in February and the winner will be announced on Feb. 16th.

We want to say "thank you" to Mr. and Mrs. Veselka from Lodge 142 for helping at our teen dance Friday, Jan. 5th. We appreciate all of our help very much and it was especially nice of another lodge to help us. We adult workers would also like to thank the youth who have been helping at the dances. We really like to see our youth come out and help.

Fraternally yours, Marlene Caraway, Youth Leader --SrJsT--LODGE NO. 13, DIME BOX Dear Readers, We had a nice Christmas party on December 23. All the youth club members were present. Many of their friends were there also.

Our next meeting will be on January 21 at 1 p.m. This meeting will be held before the adult meeting. Hope to see everyone then.

Fraternally, Mrs. Mildred Horak, Youth Leader --SPJST LODGE NO. 117, ROBSTOWN Dear Readers,' Christmas is over and everyone is looking forward to activities in 1968, but I would like to take a look backward and share with you the Christmas banquet attended by 46 members and leaders of the Robstown Youth Club.

The banquet was held Dec. 16th at the Presbyterian Fellowship Hall. The tables were decorateed with red and green decorations with white candles used for lighting. The speaker's table was elaborately trimmed, and the large room had a very festive air.

Following the banquet supper, David Hrncir, youth club president, introduced our guest speaker, Mr. Ron Beck, who spoke on Christmas Traditions Around the World. 'Seated at the head table were Mr. and Mrs. Beck, David, Mr, and Mrs. Eugene Hrncir, and Michael Pavelka, vice-president, Steve Leshin, reporter, Debbie Syamkin, treasurer, and Mrs. Frances Tally, and

9 Mrs. Darlene Edwards, assistant youth leaders.

Then the youth leader led the group in a few carols while the tables were cleared. Twenty-three new members took part in the initiation ceremony led by the president. Then each old member was allowed to think up one task the new member was to perform.

The bottle was spun and the "lucky person" carried out the initiation chore. Much laughter and fun followed. Other games were played, and then the banquet activities were adjourned.

I must compliment each member on his splendid behavior throughout the evening. I was so proud of each of them! Everyone was dressed in his Sunday best, and I'm sure that evening will live in everyone's memory for a long time to come.

That's all for today. Our next meeting was scheduled for the third Saturday but since that's the day of the big Nueces County Junior Livestock Show here in Robstown, we will probably postpone it for a week.

Fraternally, Mrs. Thelma. Hrncir Youth Leader —SPJSTLODGE NO. 48, BEYERSVILLE Dear Members, I guess you could say our first meeting of 1968 was "real cool." The 23degree weather did not keep the members of the youth club at home and we had a good meeting anyway.

Weather permitting, the youth will have a party on January 21. Members may bring guests, so be making your plans to attend.

Fraternally, Leona. Stalmach, Youth Leader --SPJSTLETTERS FROM THE YOUTH LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Friends, Our meeting was called to order on Jan. 7th at 2 p.m. The Pledge of Allegiance was followed by recitation of the motto by all members.

Under new business we discussed the SPJST Youth "Communicator" cover contest. It was decided each club member would pay his dues of one dollar once a year, instead of on a monthly basis. We also discussed going to camp in August.

NEW DRIVERS' LICENSE LAW As of Monday, Jan. 1st, Texas drivers had to apply in person to have their licenses renewed. They will have color photographs made and be given vision tests.

To the driver, whether he be the holder of commercial, chauffeur's or ordinary operator's license, the new laws will mean that he must go to a DPS office for anything concerning his license. Changes of addresses, new applications, renewals and duplicates no longer will be handled through the mails.

Each person renewing his license will be given a new one for either two or four years. If the last digit in his present license number ends in an even number, he gets a 4-year lease; if it ends in an odd number, it is for two years. Additionally, the new license will expire on the driver's next birthday, giving him possibly 11 months of free time.

(Commercial and chauffeur's licenses, now issued on a yearly basis, will be renewed for one year or two years, on the same schedule).

VESTNIK The new licenses, however, won't cost more per year, but if a driver is issued a 4-year permit, he will have to pay $6 for it, at $1.50 per year. Commercial licenses go for $4.50 a year, and chauffeur's for $6.

A probationary license issued to a person under 21 years of age will be good until his 21st birthday, regardless of whether it is issued at age 15 (hardship or motorcycle), 16 (with driver education) or 18 or over.

A lost license will cost $1 to renew, 175 cent higher than in the past.

Licenses will be returned by mail as usual.

There won't be appreciable difference in processing time despite the color work and lamination. In fact, there are hopes of reducing it. Normal time from examination to license return is three to four weeks.

The DPS headquarters in Austin will continue to send out renewal notices from 30 to 40 days in advance of expiration. Drivers may go by a local of fice for the vision test and photo anytime after they receive notices.

As in the past, examinees will be allowed to pay cash or by personal check.

GI INSURANCE HOLDERS WILL RECEIVE DIVIDENDS Veterans holding GI insurance policies will receive $223 million in dividends during 1968.

Dividends will be paid on the anniversary dates of the policies with dividend payments beginning Jan. 1.

For about four million World War II veterans, National Service Life Insurance dividend will total $208 million.

The average payment will be $52. The 1967 dividend totaled $196 million. Individual payments averaged $46.

The dividend for some 190,000 World War I veterans with United States Government Life Insurance will total $15 million, with payments averaging $79. The 1967 dividend also totaled $15 million, but averaged $3 less.

While dividends will vary according to plan, age and amount of insurance coverage. Veterans who converted their GI insurance to permanent plans will get higher dividends in 1968 because of increased interest earnings on reserves.

Modified lige insurance policies will not share in the dividend since premium rates for 212,000 veterans holding these policies are so near actual costs that no surplus has accumulated.

About half of the four million World War II NSLI policies are "permanent

13 plan." By contrast, all but 2,500 of the USGLI policies held by 190,000 World War I veterans are permanent plans.

The 1968 dividend will make (lie 19th straight year in which an annual dividend has been paid on NSLI policies.

It will also bring to a pp roximately $7.2 billion the amount of dividends paid onNSLI policies since 1950.

Dividends were first paid on USGLI policies in 1919. Since that time, and including the 1968 payment, about $700 million in USGLI dividends have been paid.

-SPJSTGAME IDENTIFICATION IS

HUNTERS' RESPONSIBILITY The recent killing of a rare whooping crane, thought to be a snow goose by a hunter, is an emphatic reminder that the burden of game identification rests squarely on the shoulders of the hunter, says Robert G. Mauermann, deputy director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Similar wasteful tragedies occur every hunting season, but never reach the limelight because the species involved are not in the spotlight of world opinion as the embodiment of conservation efforts. The rare whooping crane was one of the last 48 in the wild of its kind remaining on earth.

During the last white-winged dove season in the Rio Grande Valley, hunters killed a few of the scarce redbilled pigeons, also protected by law but not so much in the limelight. Had the hunter known what was in his sights, he would not have pulled the trigger.

Biologists said the Rio Grande Valley is the northern most limits of the birds' range and as a result it is seldom in the US. Biologically, the bird can never hope to be as numerous as the whitewing or mourning dove since it lays a single egg.

Exact identification is also a necessity in hunting mourning dove in areas where whitewings exist. There are several pockets of whitewings outside the 21 counties in the Rio Grande Valley where whitewings are hunted.

Without positive identification, the mourning dove hunter could easily bag a whitewing in a closed season and closed area.

Shooting rare or semi-rare species is one thing. The waste of plentiful game is another.

In general law counties or in portions of counties without antlerless deer permits where doe deer cannot be

14 taken, a hasty trigger finger can cause the hunter some embarrassing moments. What does the hunter do with a doe deer carcass for which he can be fined for keeping yet common sense calls for his utilizing and not wasting.

It is a q uestion which can only resolved by the hunter — unless, of course, there is a game warden around.

Each year there are bunters who shoot at brush movements without taking the trouble to identify another p rotected species — man. Identification is not just a desirable end, itis imperative.

The turkey hunter can also get into some sticky identification problems.

In many countries only the gobbler or bearded hen are considered legal game. If the hunter is not careful or shoots into a flock of turkeys with a shotgun, he may kill more than the legal limit, or a hen, and possibly wound several others.

The true sportsman never kills wantonly, wastes what he kills or worries about getting the limit if he has no use for it. Nothing is more irritating to the sportsman than the game hog and his "getting all he can" philosophy.

Duck and goose hunting pose distinct identification problems. With last season's bag limit for geese being one Ross goose and, as an alternative, one Canada goose or one white-fronted, east of U.S. Highway 81, the hunter had to be highly selective in his shooting.

One hunter on the coastal prairie had great difficulty in distinguishing between the immature white-fronted and the blue goose. Of course, his mistake didn't make headlines like the hunter who identified the whooping crane as a snow goose.

The daily bag limits of ducks which last year could include no more than one wood duck, one canvasback and two mallards, demands positive identification. Males of the species are easier to identify because of coloration.

But the duck hunter, poor in identification, could easily mistake a mallard hen for a pintail hen and thereby end up with a citation from a game warden for more than his limit of a certain species.

Magnum shells and a full-choke shotgun barrel make it possible for the waterfowl hunter to make long shots.

Besides a high percentage of wounded creatures, this hunter often kills many

Wednesday, January 17, 1968 where identification is not positive until he has the game in hand.

One hunter who uses nothing but standard field loads for waterfowl, enjoys matching wits with ducks and geese. He uses decoys and a call and waits until the birds are close enough for positive identification.

On watching this hunter, it is easy to see that he gets as much excitement from his calling and decoying ability as his shooting ability. The same hunter has often returned without his full limit simply because he wasn't sure of a species. This hunter returned from a turkey hunt empty handed because he couldnft get a clear shot at a gobbler in a flock of hens.

A hunting companion's only remark was, "I sure admire his cool."

---SPJST-THE FAMILY LAWYER Confiding in Your Clergyman

"See your spiritual adviser."

That suggestion is often made to the man or woman in trouble. If you do talk things over with your spiritual advicer, is the conversation confidential in the eyes of the law? Could a clergy man be ordered to testify in court as to what you said?

Or is this information "privileged"— that is, protected against public disclosure?

The common law, generally speaking, did not recognize any such privilege. Courts were reluctant to give up access to what could be a. valuable source of enformation. Obviously, the more facts available to a court, the better it could do justice — both in punishing the guilty and in freeing the innocent.

However, most states have now passed special statutes (called "priestpenitent" laws) to change the rule.

These statutes, in varying degree, grant a privilege of privacy to communications confided to a clergyman.

To be sure, there are still limits on the scope of this privilege. For one thing, information given to a clergyman in an ordinary conversation — not as part of a regular church procedure — is usually not protected.

Thus, a court found no privilege in the remarks of a suspected rapist to a minister, voiced during a casual encounter in a railroad station. The judge ruled that the minister, just like any other citizen, would have to tell what he had heard.

Nor does the privilege apply to a clergyman's general observations, unrelated to any specific admission of wrongdoing.

For example, a court saw no reason why a minister should not give his opinion of the mental condition of a woman whose will was being challenged — an opinion based on long years of acquaintance with her.

But in most situations, the person unburdening his failings to his spiritual adviser may count on a legal curtain of privacy. As one court put it: "The human being does sometimes have need of a place of penitence and confession and spiritual discipline.

When any person enters that secret chamber, civil authority turns away its ear."

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

OVER 4 MILLION VOTERS IN TEXAS IN 1968

At least 4 million Texans will be qualified to vote in 1968, voter registration experts predicted recently.

Mrs. Latana Lambert, executive director of the Committee for Better Vo-ter Paiicipation, said, "I believe we will get 4.5 million. There is a very good chance of getting 5 million if we can keep calling attention to the Jan. 31 deadline."

Al Allison, executive director of the Republican Party of Texas, said 4 million to 4.5 million "would be a reasonable guess."

Secretary of State John L. Hill, the state's chief election officer, declined to make a specific prediction but said "there is no doubt it will be well above anything we've had before."

The Highest previous voter registration was 2,984,766 in 1964. The total was slightly lower in 1966 and 1967.

An increase of more than 1 million would have major political implications.

Hill said he has excellent cooperation" from newspapers in his campaign to get papers to publish voter registration applications.

EXTENSION ECONOMIST LOOKS AT YEAR AHEAD

The economy of the United States can be expected to continue to expand during 1968 and the consumer's dis posable income will also continue to rise.

This is part of the "Economic Outlook for 1968„ by John G. McHaney,

Wednesday, January 17, 1968 Extension economist at Texas .A&M University. He based his outlook on the assumptions that the conflict in Southeast Asia will continue wihout major escalation, the proposed income tax surcharge will be enacted as evidence of renewed strong economic expansion piles up, and that interest rates will ease of f" after the first quarter of 1968 as the tax surcharge takes effect.

With these assumptions considered, McHaney says that the consumer's disposable income will rise with advances in output, employment and wage rates..

Social security benefits will be raised, and although a tax increase may moderate the rise in disposable income, the consumer will gain in buying power.

Prices can also he ex p ected to -further with the indicated increases in expenditures for consumer goods, capital outlays and government purchases, 'Vic/Haney believes.

The total government spending for goods and services continued to rise during 1967 and will probably do so during 1963. The growth in government spending at the state and local levels rose about 12 percent in 1967 and McHaney sees a similar increase in 1968..

The federal purchases of goods and services, mainly for defense, also rose in 1967 but the rate of increase slowed through the year and McHaney pre diets continued rising but at a slower pace than in 1967.

McHaney says that early surveys of businessmen's capital expenditure plans for 1968 point to an increase of about 5 percent which is a modest one, but reasonable in light of the average utilization rates in manufacturing of less than 85 ncr cent of capacity in 1967.

Demand for housing is growing and can be expected to continue to grow in 1968, but McHaney forecasts limited growth because of tight credit conditions.

-SPJST--

AMERICANS ARE GOING SOFT; MOST ARE PHYSICALLY UNFIT The life expectancy of the average American male has dropped from 14th among nations of the world in 1949 to 35th today.

The blame has been put squarely on the inactive American way of life.

Pointing the accusing finger is Dr. Thomas Cureton Jr., director of the Physical Fitness Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois and physical fitness consultant to Presidents John P. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

America, says Dr. Cureton, is fast becoming a nation of soft, out-of-shape men and women who can't perform for one hour the kind of exercise employed daily their more ineshape ancestors.

If you're an average young man, for instance, you can't run the length of oue city block or climb one flight of stairs without getting out of breath.

And if you're the romantic type who wants to "swim the deepest ocean" for your lady love forget it. According to Dr. Cureton, you couldn't even cover a respectable 100 yards without an embarrassing shortage of breath.

The outlook for the average middleaged American male is even more bleak. According to Dr. Cureton, he is only one emotional shock or one sudden exertion away from a serious heart attack, this nation's No. 1 cause of death.

Dr. Cureton, who made his observations at the recent 20th annual New Orleans Dental Conference, also points out that even those persons who do exercise are usually doing it the wrong way.

And the wrong kind of exercise is, he says, ineffective in combating the degestive diseases that account for 65 generative diseases that account for 65 per cent of all deaths in the United States.

He calls golf one of the "greatest overrated sports in the world" as far as its benefits to health are concerned.

And bowling, he adds, "is even worse."

The physical exercise on a golf course is irregular, he explains, and bowlino., then sitting down to enjoy a ciga,rette or beer before rolling the ball again, is useless.

Such high tension activities as basketball, handball and weightlifting are hazardous, contends Dr. Cureton, because they are characterized by violent bursts of intense action relieved by brief rest periods. He says that studies disclose that these sudden alterations of energy tend to reduce oxygen utilization and increase resistance to blood flow in large and perpheral vessels.

LICENSE REQUIREMENT FOR REGISTRATION URGED Austin. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rep. David Crews of Conroe, Wednesday suggested, that everyone registering a vehicle should be required to have a driver's license.

This might eliminate the problem of having nothing to hold over the heads of uninsured motorists, Crews told the first study meeting of the interim committee on the problem of uninsured motorists.

An estimaed 10 per cent of Texas motorists are driving without a driver's license. If a man has no license to revoke what good is a threat to revoke his license for failure to take out automobile liability insurance?

Some 30 percent of Texas motorists do not carry automobile liability insurance, but Department of Public Safety figures indicate that two thirds of these are able to demonstrate financial responsibility.

But the 10 persent who cannotâ&#x20AC;&#x17E; cause 50,000 to 60,000 accidents in Texas each year, Some states have a special fund, contributed to by all motorits, for unsatisfied claims and judgments. New Jersey has such a fund, for example, but the fund is broke. The New Jersey Legislature is transferring $3 million to it from another fund.

One Canadian province has a fund, contributed to by all motorists, that pays all accident claims, regardless of who is at fault.

Some states hatre a compulsory liabi-

Wednesday, January 17, 1968 lity insurance law. It has not worked satisfactorily, a state insurance boad spokesman told the committee, Some states, including Texas, allow an insured motorist to sue his own insurance company for ' p ersonal injury claims when the accident was cased by an uninsured motorist. Property damage is not included in thiS beeayse collision coverage Lagos care of that.

The Texas law became effective Oct. 1. The committee was told by representatives of insurance associations, it is hoped this new law will provide at least a partial answer to the problem. !ST_.

UP Hurricane Beulah leehej. one-. of State of Texas, killing and injuring many of its citizens; damaging property, disrupting transportation and communications, and dealing a severe economic blow to South Texas, Hurricane Beulah will be long remembered by those who suffered from the lady's fury.

She will be long re (= inhered also by the insurance industry. The results of her raging through Texas are reflected in W P financial records of insurance companies.

There is a legal obligation of insurance companies to reimburse those whose property sustains damage covered by insurance. However, insurance companies went beyond their legal obligation after Hurricane -Beulah, incurring extra expense to process claims quickly, even though faced with thousands of losses in an area rendered almost inaccessible by flooding.

The Texas Insurance Advisory Association is proud that insurance companies and agents did more than what insurance policies called for them to do. The TIAA believes that the story of the industry's response to Hurricane Beulah is a story worth telling.

The Record Insurance companies paid out almost $35,000,000 for losses to fixed property and contents.

They paid additional claims, the total amount not yet tabulated, for insured loss gs to automobiles and boats.

They paid merchants with "business interruption" insurance for lost profits due to shutdown or curtailed business because of damage to the property.

They paid these claims quickly.

There is no requirement that companies must incur unusual eXbease in order to pay catastrophe claims more quickly than would otherwise be pos-

Wednesday, January 17, 1968 sible. But that is exactly what the companies did.

There were tens of thousands of claims filed. Each meant receiving a report of the claim, recording and acknowledging it, assigning it to an adjuster, locating the owner, getting to the property which often was in a flooded area, inspecting the damage, estimating carefully the amount of money needed to repair damage, processing the claim and issuing , the check.

In South Texas there are, every; week, fires, automobile accidents and other losses covered by insurance. In. South Texas there are enough adjusters to take care of these "normal" claims. Hurricane Beulah left enough claims adjustment work to keep the regular adjusters in South Texas busy for many months, if special steps had not been taken.

When Hurricane Beulah turned towards Texas, the Texas Insurance Advisory Association issued press announcements advising property owners that additional adjusters would be moved into any disaster area to speed up the processing of claims.

Property owners were also told that in the event of hurricane damage they could make emergency temporary repairs to prevent more damage by wind and rain and include the cost of these repairs as part of their insurance claims. The press also did an outstanding job of helping the industry inform the public of general policy coverages and the proper procedure for submitting claims.

The severe heavy rains that continued for several days added measurably to insured loss but this added loss would have been much greater had the people of the storm-stricken area, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley, not taken unusually prudent action to protect their property prior to the hurricane as well as immediately after.

The people of the storm area also were well informed of the coverage under their insurance policies. This understanding of coverage helped companies reach reasonable and just loss settlement in an unprecedented short period of time and with virtually no complaints of unfairness from policyholders.

As the hurricane swept through South Texas, hundreds of insurance adjusters were rushed into the area from other parts of Texas and other states :by companies and adjusting

V2STNIR firms. Flooding hampered the movement of insurance people in the area and long detours were often necessary to reach damaged property.

Adjusters were on the job 12 hours a day, many times seven days a week.

Although thousands of claims were faced by adjusters, and claims continued to be filed for weeks, about 75 per cent of all reported losses had been processed within seven weeks.

Two weeks later the tremendous task of handling-the losses drew to a close.

Almost $35,000,000 has been paid for fixed property and contents losses alone, the TIAA stated. Additional payments have been made for damaged automobiles and boats and to merchants who had insurance covering lost profits -due to shutdown or curtailed business.

Insurance companies met their legal obligations by paying for insured losses. They performed a ,distinct public service by spending extra money to procesS those claims as quickly as possible.

--SPJsT .?.4UCLEAR ANNIVERSARY On December 2, 1967, at ceremonies marking the 25th anniversary of the first nuclear reactor, President Johnson spoke of the consequences of that momentous event. He said in part: "I believe history will record that on this day 25 years ago, mankind reached the turning point of his destiny.

The Book of Genesis tells us that, in the beginning, God directed man to: `Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.' But only in our lifetime have we acquired the ultimate power to fulfill all of that comand. Throughout history, man has struggled to find enough power — to find enough energy — to do his work in the world. He domesticated animals, he sold his brother into slavery, and he enslaved himself to the machine — all in a desperate search for energy.

"Desperation ended in the experiment conducted in Chicago, 25 years ago, by Enrico Fermi and his fellow scientists. In a single stroke, they increased man's available energy more than a thousand-fold. They placed in our hands the power of the universe itself.

"Enrico Fermi was a great man of science. But he was also something more. He was one of millions who, in the long history of the world, have been compelled to leave a beloved native land to escape the forces of tyranny.

19 And like millions before him, lie found here a new home, among free men, in a new world. His life and his career have a very special meaning to all who love freedom. There are today millions of young Americans with an Italian heritage who feel a deep, personal pride in Enrico Fermi. America was born out of the voyages of a great Italian navigator. In a time of greatest danger, another — equally willing to pursue his dream beyond existing charts took us again into a new epoch. Today we commemorate our debt to him. And in _doing so, we also honor historic bond between the old world and the new world. . the immeasurable contributions that have been made, over the centuries, by the people of Italy to the people of the United States.

"By learning the secret of the atom, we have given mankind — for the first time in history — all the energy that mankind can possible use. It took the genius of countless generations of dedicated scientists to find the secret. It remains for us to use that secret wisely. What began as the most terrible instrument of war that Man has ever seen can become the key to a golden age of mankind. But this will not happen unless we make it happen.

We cannot forget that another, darker future also opened on this day 25 years ago. The poWer to achieve the promise of Genesis is also the power to fulfill the prophecy of Armageddon.

We can either remake life on earth — or we can end it forever.

"Today, a single reactor can, while generating electricity, produce enough plutonium to make dozens of bombs every year. And scores of these reactors are now being built — and they are being built — all over the world. Their purpose is peaceful. Yet the fact remains that the secret diversion of even a small part of the plutonium that they create could, soon give every nation — every nation — the power to destroy civilization — if not life on this earth. We just cannot permit this to happen. Nor can mankind be denied the unlimited benefits of the peaceful atom. We must, sonic way, somehow, find a way to remove the threat while preserving the promise.

"The American people have made their own desires crystal clear when their representatives in the United States Senate .voted unanimously to support an effective nonproliferation

,-j2.STNiK

20 treaty for nuclear weapons. We are now engaged in a major effort to achieve such a treaty, in a form acceptable to all nations. We are trying so hard to assure that the peaceful benefits of the atom will be shared by all mankind — without increasing, at the same time, the threat of nuclear destruction. We do not believe that the safeguards we propose in that treaty will interfere with the peaceful activities of any country. And I Want to make it clear, very clear, to all the world that we in the United States are not asking any country to accept safeguards that we are unwilling to accept ourselves.

"We reaffirm our determination to dedicate the miraculous power of the atom, not to death, but to life. We invite the world's nations to join with us.

"Let us use this historic anniversary to deepen and to reaffirm the search for peace. Let us so conduct ourselves that future generations will look back upon December 2, 1942 — not as the origin of sorrow and despair — but as the beginning of the brightest and the most inspiring chapter in the long history of man."

PROJECT GASBUGGY Writing in "Petroleum Today," Mr. Paul Zimmerman tells of an experiment in the application of nuclear energy that may revolutionize the energy industry. The eXperiment is Called Project Gasbuggy. It is a joint government-industry venture, which it is hoped will pave the way for production of enormous new supplies of natural gas to help meet the nation's burgeoning needs for petroleum energy.

Project Gasbuggy is located in a remote section of northwestern New Mexico. For many months, government and industry experts have prepared the area as a site for the detonation of a nuclear device bearing the power of 26,000 tons of TNT. When the nuclear explosion occurs, it will take place 4,250 feet below the earth's surface.

In the words of Mr. Zimmerman, "If all goes as expected, the actual blast won't provide much of a show for the observers . . . The real spectacular will happen underground — and it will happen fast." In a matter of seconds, an underground chamber, called a chimney, some 400 feet high, will be created and filled with loose rock. The chimney will become a kind of natural gas storage tank. Projects similar to Gasbuggy are proposed in which nuclear energy will be utilized to draw oil from heretofore inaccessible shale deposits.

An Atomic Energy Commission official predicts, "a whole new industry may have grown out of the use of underground nuclear detonations."

Project Gasbuggy also illustrates the changing nature of the energy industry. Since the petroleum industry has always - welcomed advancing technology, it is a natural leader in the total energy picture:

OD REDAI{CMHO STOLKU TO I ONO Delegati a jejich nahradnici. Kadde etyti roky, kdyZ se voli delegati a nahradnici do pfigtiho sjezdu, vznikne otadka, zda u fadti, kde je vice neZ jeden delegat, jistk nahradnik nastoupi misto jisteho delegata v pfipade potfeby. Odpoved: ne.

Pfedne, kde je zvolen pouze jeden delegat a take jeden nahradnik, neni pochyby kdo nahrazuje koho. Kde je ale vic delegatii, dejme tomu etyfi anebo pet, ten nahradni delegat, jenZ obdrZel nejvic hlasti nastoupi jako delegat na prvni uprazdnene misto kterehokoliv delegata, at' je to prvni nebo posiedni. Olanek 7 c na gich stanov zni: . . Nahradnik s nejvkggim poetem hlasti zastupuje prvni uprazdnene misto."

Toto nedorozumeni vzniklo moZna tim, Ze Hl. iltadovna vysila listinu k vypineni, na ni se me, napsat jmeno delegata a na, spodni polovici to same stranky jmeno nahradnika. Z toho se mute elovek domnivat, Ze jrnenovany nahradnik zastupuje hofeuvedneho delegata. Neni tomu tak. Bratr tajemnik Hl. titadovny toto potvrzuje s poznamku, Ze tato listina ovefujici byla pavodne sestavena pro fady s pouze jednYm delegatem (a jednim nahradnikem).

Kde jsciu dva anebo vice toto neplati.

Zkratka, kdyZ kterfkoliv z delegatil se nernaZe sileastnit sjezdu ten nahradnik

s nejvetgim pootem hlasti nastoupi jeho misto. Toto na vysvetleni.

• Nage stanovy. Stanovy pravidla apodobne maji bkti sepsany, aby jim obyeejne vzdelanY elovek mohl rychie a dobfe pochopit. Neni v torn Zadna vkhoda pouZivat pfeludna vrtogiva slova. A jestli ten obyeejne vzdelank elovek tomu nerozurni, nem& to cenu, kdedto stanovy jsou pro vgechny, ne jenom pro paru, ktefi maji v tom zyl'aStni zalibu. A nema v tom bkti jakasi mysteriosa, a posvatnost, nkbrZ vista, rozumna, eitelna slova s dobrYin slovosledem.

Tu musime zduraznit, ze neobviinijeme tolik oeskou Cast naSich stanov jako anglickou. Nikdy jsem se nepovaZoval ani nepovaduji, jako znalec jazyka eeskeho. 6eskSr jazyk, kdyt ho chce elovek spravne a dokonale ovladat, neni tak jednoduchy a snadnY. V anglickem jazyce se ale dobfe — o mnohem lepsi — vyznam. Jsern zde rozenk, vygel megt'anku (high school) a pozdeji universitu. Do Ceske gkoly jsem nikdy nechodil, v eegtine jsem tzv. samouk.

Jsou v nag ich stanovach elanky, kde anglickk slovosled neodpovida pravidltin anglicke gramatiky, Wee se etou, a teZko je jim pochopit. Nejvet gi zavada je myslim v tom, Ze je pouZivano prilis mnoho tzv. "pro,vnich-z6.konnSreh" vSTrazt, kterYm je teZko porozumet obyeejnemu eloveku. Neni jich tfeba.

Da se to napsat jinymi slovy bez toho

"zakonneho" stylu a ze,roveii bez "v gedniho" razu. V eeStine se east° slovesna veta day& do pfedu, v anglietine to ptisobi nesrolumitelnost. Dlouhe vety se take v anglietine tedko skladaji a je jim nekdy te'dko rozurnet. Tento styl mame pfenechat znalcum, jako byl zesnulk romanopisec William Faulkner a jinkm.

Stanovam by mel kaZdk stejn8 rozumet. A kdyi je tfeba poladat nekoho, aby nem vysvetlil co napsana, slova znamenaji, to dosvedeuje, de je to 'Spatne a nejasne sloleno.

Vim, Ze nag stanovni vkbor se v gemoZne snati, aby nage stanovy k dobru vgern clenum, aby byly jako otevfena prostorna svetnice, ne jako malieky otvor anebo spara, kde jen rnilZeme obeas zahlednout. Zdar jejich praci!

• Nezapomerite se registrovat! KaIdk obean, me.-li jinak volebni pra y°, musi se dat registrovat do 31. ledna. Podle noveho zakonu, kterk veSel v platnost minuleho roku, vgichni obeani pies 60 let staff a bydlici v meste s merle ne.

Nevim, jak to mam zaeit, ponevadZ etu Vestnik pet mnoho let a sleduji v geWake, nahledy a navrhy, ale ty se ligi od vgechnYch„ co bYvalo pked padesati lety. Nagi predkove melt. jine nahledy a je nas je gte mnoho starYch pionYrt, co jegte zachovaji na ge stare zvyky a to stare heslo Podpora, Lidskost a Bratrstvi. Ale Cas rychle utika a ta nage mladd ratolest utika s tim novYm yetrern a zapomina, na na ge rodioe, co jsme jich ueili za nage leta.. Pricin g toho? Dle mojiho rozumu, jest to hlavnie vychova v americkYch gkolach. Toto zaealo pked tficeti lety. U nekterYch rnistnich kadech, kde meli svoje budovy, men nadpisy a hesla "'Ceske clite patki do eeske g koly anebo "Ueme se Cesky", a tato slova musely ven, neb nekteki z na gich Mena co se eitali mezi nag e tatiky jiz tenkrat byli proti tomu a my museli ty hesla odstranit.

Nag tad mel peknou eeskou knihovnu pies etyfi sta, eisel. A dues? jsou jeAte

Aby se do to doby nejak udrZel Y.) Divadla Ceske se hravaly u mnoha taclit a zpivalo se a taneila se eeska beseda. A ted' jen dva silne ta,dy z celeho Texasu se o to staraji.

To byly jine easy, ze? Ja si pamatuji neb takove schtize se konaly i u nas a ja mel jen 18 let. I male deti se nekdy Segly.

Ddlo se hodne psati i o torn &skein tisku, ze kdyby nekteki to mobil zdolat a vyhodit z VeStniku by to opravdu udelan. Ja jsem kdysi Ceti ten pilvodni "Obzor" a zaeateeni Vestnik.

Nelibil se ji chvat Franektiv, kterY odji2del do Ameriky bez ptieiny, jen tak z pouheho rozmaru. Nelibilo se ji, e Madlenka jen tak na popud sveho srdce, laskou zapaleneho, vydala se na bludnou pout', aniZ" by byla pfesvedoena a ujiStena o Franckove lasee.

Vtom vsem vezi neco skryteho, nee% o eem nevedeli tam u Men v Nchaeh, ale co tady mule zdrtiti to ubohe devee, a2 pozna pravdu.

Dostaly se tak az do 6tvrti, kde praeoval Francek podle adresy, kterou jim poslal Vyhledaly bodreho mistra Polaka a vyptavaly se.

"Franz Pechar," dobrornyslne povidal.

"To mokia, uz vim. I3Srval, bYval tady.

Ale u2 neni. Uz dlouho neni."

Byly podeSeny tou zpravou. Co se s nimi asi stab? V duM.Madlenein6 zahofela nova nadeje. Kdo vi, co se stab, ze musil nahle z prace odejiti. Proto on nepfigel, ze nedostal jejich dopisfi, ktere mu sem poslaly.

"Kde ted' je, nevite?", zeptala se pani. "Rb.di bychom ho na ystiviliy.. Mame mu vyfidit pozdravy a vzkazy z domova."

"Sam nevim, kochanky, ale podivam se. . . Pani to bude miti napsomo," sliboval a odkvapil pfes dilnu do sveho bytu.

13y1 mali O s kY, fidkfich licousu s velikou, Tyson hlavou.

Byl jako pidimuzik, ktery* probiha svou NIl, v nil kypi prace na v§ech stranach.

Tak tu drneely sici stroje, cvakaly rhiky, sumely a guAtely latky.

Vratil se Po chvilce s papirkem, kte17.1 Alin speene podaval: "V to tovarne praeuje. . . Kde bSrva,, nevime."

Dekovaly mu, odmital s fismevem jejich diky a kus je vyprovodil.

8 Jejich dobrodruZna, pout mela ted' novY cii na protilehlem konci mesta.

Podzemni draha je dopravila. Prove doSly, kdy2 velika, vrata tovarny se dokoran otevrela a chrlila z ittrob ponu re budovy zastupy muZi. a Zen. Byla to velika tabakova tovarna, ktera, zamestnavala sta lidi, mrzadic je telesne i duSevne.

Hrozne ovzduSi, ktere vdechuji do sebe ph 6morne praci, otravuje jejich krev pomalu, ale jiste.

Jako 2lute priSery vychazeli muZove a Zeny a Usta jejich nedoekave lapala po venkovskem vzduchu, kterY, ac prosycen parami a prachem, piece osvedZoval jejich zmorene plice.

Velika mzda la,kala sem piraty prate, kteri se nelekali za zvonici kov vymeniti zdravl a silu.

Bylo to ohromne, moderni peklo, jehoZ testy byly dlaZdeny ziatern, ale jehoZ ovzduSi strebalo krev a tuk tisled delnikt.

Madlenka i jeji pritelkyne stady tu jako nepatrne Zivouci drobty proti ohromne, Sedive nestvtire tovarny a poplaSene hledely do neklidne viny lidskYch tel, ktera se valiia kolem nich z otevrenYch vrat.

Najednou uvidela Madlenka Francka.

"Francku!", vykrikla a drala se k nernu. NeslySel ji, teprve kdye se chopila jeho ruky, zadival se na ni, jako by ji nepoznaval.

Prekvapen a zrejme nemile doteen jejim nahlYm objevenim se ,ani ji neprivital jako krajanku, jen drsne se ozval: "Co tu chceg?"

Madlence bylo, jako by ji kladivem zprudka, do eela uhoclil.

Zavravorala, v oeich se ji zatmelo.

Vtom jiz tu byla laskava, pani a zachytila ji v padu.

Podivala se s vYeitkou na Francka a kekla mekce: "PriSla za vami. Ma vas tolik rada.

Nemel jste bYti na ni tak zlY!" Oblieej Franckilv se zachmuril divace, vzpurne. Na tetu si vzpomnel, jak asi to device nutiia, aby za nim jelo, aby nepriSel o jeji penize... Ty penize!

Vymstily se jim!.... Zasmal se trpce a rekl lhostejne: "Co chce ode mne? Nikdy jsem ji nic nesliboval, ani jsem ji o lasce nemluvil."

Madlenka se troche vzpamatovala a rekla mdle jako umirajici: "Ale tvoje teta ml rekla."

Celt' jeho oblieej se zkrivil jako nahlYm uStknutim vosy. VSecka j eho trpkost vita tete, ktera stale chtela ovla-

vcSTNI-K dati jeho osud, se v nem odrazila. Potom rekl climurne a neriprosne: "Teta ti to tekla. Podekuj se ji za to a rekni ji, at' si to tedy vezrne sama, ja Ze nemohu. Marn jiZ jednu Zenul" Obratil se divoce a odchazel kamsi v neznamo, splynuv s ostatnim proudeni hrnoucich se delniku k nerozeznani.

Pani sklonila se k Madlence: "Vzpamatujte se, duSieko! Vzpainatujte se!", neZne ji domlouvala a hlas jeji byl takY slzami.

"On uZ je Zenat. . . Zenat!", v jeji name]. Madlenka. "A proe se denil? Teta piece povidala. A ja nejsem jeho Zena?"

"UtiSte se, zlatiekor, konejSila ji pani. "VSe bude zase dobre. Uvidite!"

"Bude?" jako dite se chapala tech slov neboha divka. "Bude, opravdu bude? Ja budu jeho Zenou? Pust'te mne!

Prot nine drZite? Pust'te mne za nim!

Veclyt' jsem piece jeho Zena! On si to jenom spletl. . . piljdu za nim. Tamtu yyZene a nine si necha. Pust'te mne!"

Silenstvi z ni mluvilo. Pani nemela jiZ slov k itteSe. Madlenka kreeovite sebou zmitala v jejim objeti; pojednou se ji vytrhla a zoufale pa,clila do tmave spleti kriZujicicla se ulic.

Dobra pani, vSecka vycleSena, utikala za ni, zoufale ji volajic.

Ale Madlenka zmizela v ohromne vine valicich se delnikti a delnic a ztratila se ji s oei.

Pani vycleSena ztistala sama na ulici.

V pozadi s rachotem zapadla kovova vratra tovarny.. .

Madlenka zapadla do mote ciziny.

Kapitola V. Jak se Madlenka dostala do palace kralovny Spravedlnosti a jak se ji tam veci/c, Nevedela, kam a kudy bezi. Nevedela o nieem, co Sumelo a hi• otilo kolem ni nekoneenou praci. Jedind mySlenka jako velikY, krvave hnedY upir, zaryla ji lyse paraty vraSedne do mozku, ktery zdal se bYti na prach vysuSen tolikerou hruzou. Chvilemi zdalo se, Z'e celY jeji mozek rozpadl se na nepatrnou hromadku prachu a v prazdne lebce, Ze se usadil onen hroznY upir.

Jim byla vzporninka na onu chvili pied posupnYmi vraty tovarny, kde uvidela Francka a zaslechla nekolik jeho tyrdYch slov.

Silence bolest, ktera ji celou sevrela, prehazela porad techto slov a zmatla Upine jejich smysl.

"Francek je Z • enat... S ni je 'Zenat.. . ale jakasi cizi bytost. . . zla a nepratelska. . . eernou rukou sahla do jejich Stesti a prudce jim zamichala. . VSe-

Tak prodirala se Madlenka ben cile, smerujic stale jen ku predu a neuvaZujic ani okarnZik na kriZovatkaeh ulic, hustYmi zastupy hlavne delnikti a delMc, kteri tou dobou napinili vSechna preclmesti.
