14 book of stamps, which, as I understand, was located at a late date: Pardon us, please, Mrs: Olexa, for overlooking your charitable donation.

4 Vzpominky p •istehovalce do Temple, okresu Bell, Texas Sepsal Jan Stasa Corpus Christi, Texas roce 196 Pokraeoveni Pavel 7Bolf, ktery byl podilniketo onoho obchodu, byl jecliity z naSich kraja nn xnezi temi podilniky, jenZ se skladal z jinonerocloticil. Tento °belied uctelal npadek a neS oblibeny Pavel ztratil vkchno co do toho podniku vloZil, k toinu jeSte byl na ptidavek mu pticielen tak zvanY "Judgement". My j sme ho znali, jsme ho litovali, ite podlehl vlivu vychytralYch osob, ktere yedely jak se obohatit na fleet jinYch. On vedel, ze ve statu Texas, nebude moci y e svem jmenu vlastniti jakYkoliv majetek, tak mu nezbYvalo nic jineho neZ olelet vSechno co zde mel a odstehovat se do jineho statu, kde za-; kon teXaskY se ho nemohl dotYkat.

PodobnY ptipad nekolik rokU pied tim 1914 v mesteeku Buckholts se stal Vint Marakovi- jen se stal obeti nesvedornitYcj-i. podilnin v obehode.

Byla to velka ' koda a pro ne, a pro ty mesta, ze oba museli se odstehovat pry:e do cizich most. Jsem ptesvedeen, ze mohli Udelat mnoho dobra pro sve zakazniky a pro mesto, kdyby byli men sve vlastni obchody, na misto bYti takovYmi podilniky cizich zajmil. Vim co je to blti podvaden neb jsem byl take podilnikem nekolika poclnikti; olejoye, uhelne a eibelne, kde jsme ztratili cele podily a jsme redi,:Ze no likviclaci techto jsme nemuseli jeSte doplacet a no, ptidavek dostat na sebe ten straSidelnY "Judgement".

V roku 1919, jak jsme farmovali pit Buckholts, v osa,cle Bryant Station, tak jsme si naseli pet (5) akrn ovsa a 5 alga pAenice a presto ze obchodnik v Rogers, mne ujistil, ze semeno je pros*.

Johnsongrasu, ptece ph sklizni jsem shleclal v poli tento obevany neZadortel druh plodiny. Po sklizni jsem na vuz nekolik pytlu zrni Pgenice a zavez1 do Tem ple do mlyna zemlet odprodat.

Toto auto vlastnila nemeeka rodina jmenern Rachue. V Buckholts

VAST/if pan Vine Kubeeka se v tat dobu zabYval prodejem tech FordovYch vozidel, nadch i starYch, tak mne vemluvil do toho stareho Ford'ala, to bylo v torn 1917 roku na jai'e, kdy byla jeSte vyhlidka, na obstojnou polni fi •odu, cena byla $275.00 Alois Zatlukal v Temple, si take koopil Ford pozdejAilio , udelku, kterY si ptemenil na clodevk.0 zboZi. (Delivery truck) jelikoZ nemel vice potteby pro ten oddelany trup (body), tak ml to prodal a ja si proto jel na voze co Temple.

Nejel jam sem. Ze sousedil Vine Petruj a Charlie Brown, ye 4 hodiny no ptisedli na vtiz a jelo se do Temple.

V to dobu z Bryant Station a Rogers, nejbliZSi cesta byla pies ten povestny "Knob Hill", kterY se nalezal asi v pill cesty mezi Rogers a Academy Ski,lair, 'Pato jmenovana, ikola tam tehdy je:Ste nestala. KdyZ jsme jell z Rogers, zapadnim smerem, tak jsme xnili z one streny dosti mime kopeeky, ale jak jstne ujeli asi 4 mile tak jsme se octli na vetSim kopeeku, s ktereho pobled do delky dosti nebezpeenY, a v dobu nebylo jine vYhodnej gi cesty objeti tent() zastraSujici kopec.

Kdo newel dobry potah a dobrY viAz zaopatteny dobrYnai brzdami, tak dopadl jak ten jeden cestujici, kterY se ptal v Rogers, jak je daleko do Temple, a jak dlouho to vezme tarn dojet, talc mu bylo teeeno; Ze tarn mute nekay pozde veeer dojet jestli pojede z toho Ptikreho a dlouheho kopce pomelu.

Jestli v'Sak pojede rychle, talc mu to vezme po Picipacie i dva dny.

Stelo se ze daleko nedojel. Jak jel z toho velkeho kopeeka kolo se mu rozsYpalo ina2 dostal kolo zpravit takto vzalo dva dny. Z toho kopeeku kdry'ri sjialel do fidoli tak tarn byl potok jinenem Knob Creek a kahlY musel stiSit auto nebo truck, kayA vjadel na ten most, kterY byl hodne vyvYkn. Nekdy okol 10 , hodin jsme doieli do Tem ple, nalaili rely ten trup (body) na vtlz a ne'Z'. se mule nakrmily a odnoeinuly my jsme si vyhdili svoje zaleZitosti a•pak jsme nodnikli. zneteeni cestu jen s Vinton. Brown zUstal v Temple, mel tam Zena,te,ho svna v Z"eleznieni chine, kde Sc 'on yavovaly lokomotiv y a voze pro osobni donravu i nakladni Santa Fe Orally. V teto clilne nrac i nekolik nasineu.

Ve sttedu 19, eervna 1968 Icdyz koupili farmu 117 akrt pti Buckbolts, talc si mne ptidrZeli doma. Vzdalenost od nail fanny z Bryant Station do Rogers, bylo 7 mil, z Rogers do Temple bylo 20 mil cesty tehdy byly jen melo kde vySterkovane a verily velkymi oklikami a to okolo totem, Mere byly ostnatyrn aratem oh rodeny, aby si ZadnY :remain_ dovolit zblizit cestu.

V to dobu to byly jen okresni testy, po deAich blative a nesjizane, zvlaSte pro ty auto yozidla kterYch kaZdoroene ptibY y alo a dosud pribVve. Tam kde byl na blizku v clos,dint Sterk, tak se ho zaaalo hodriC pouZivat na cesty, nejativ a vzalo to mnoho Yon neZ stdt Texas a fedeOdlni vlada ye Washingtone se ujaly buclovat nakladne, silnice.

Abychom ye spechn rychle nekam ehteli dojet, talc bylo dbano ty cesty vymalt pYlore co nej vice, by byly odstraDeny ty nebezneene ruby, ktere byly opatreny hrarrieohni sloupy. Majitele pozeinku ze zaedtku protestovali, ale to neponochlo, museli se podvolit novotaan a W'ijmout odhednutou cenu za pozemek a nekde 1 odSkocineni, kcly2 tarn byly budovy. Na innohe mistech majitele pozemkn men z toho Skodu, jini zase uZitek.

Nova silniee mezi Temple a Rogers zkratilo vzdalenost o 6 neb 7 mil a mychlost prOmernou z 30 lull na 70 mil za hodinu. Ten Knob Hill zfistal stranou asi 3 mile na poledni strep u a kdo nemusi nutne Hies nej jell tak se mu jiste ka r,,cly red vyhne. Je asi pill mile dlouhY. Je to snad pametka z doby sopeene a kolovaly rilzne povidky o nem. JK, pied sto lety, 2e mad to byla jeclind dopravni cesta a spojka mezi Belton, Bryant Station a Bryan, Texas.

Matka detem zemtela v 1805 jako 42lad. Druha, 2ena Rosalie Prokopova byla z Crhova na mora yske strane a katolieka, ti'ebae mirna. Neveste bylo 26 let a Zenichu 38, z druheno maneelstvi byly 3 deti; Josef, (ktery pazdeji si pH-dal jmeno Lidumil), Karel a Daniel. 0tec Josef zein •el v 1821 jako 541etY a ptieina smrti byla udana jako "seSlost veku" — tvrdY Zivot jej tak ztepal, 'Ze vyhlikl jako starec. Rolm 1817 prodal svou sedlost proto, k jrZ nemohl snaAeti iitisky ed katolickSch sousedit a :-7/.ena jej vylakala do Napajedel na Morarave, ale tam to bylo jeSte horS1 a r.

Bylo mi to velmi divne, Ze Josef L. LeSikar o syYch sourozencich -- at' O. to byly vlastni el nevlastni -- nikdy nezminil, ani ye svern Zivotopisu, kterY sepsal asi 3 leta pied svou smrti a o sve matte taky ani zminka.

Menil se s Terezii S' ilarovou z Nepomuk Oslo 13 v roku 1828, ktera byla

6 dcerou Jana Silara a Rosalie Riplove a nejmladM z 10 deti. Otec jim daroval rodne misto cot neslo eislo 13 a z ktereho se pozdeji rodina vystehovala at do Ameriky. Zde se jim narodilo celkem '7 &Ai z techto zemiely 2 dcery, jedna co 191eta a druha co 161eta. Otec byl vyueen krejeim a tedy pomahal tivit eetnou rodinu, ze east() MI pozde do noci.

Nasledkern pomeru mnozi jeho sousede se chta li tehdy vystehovat do Uher, ale Josef Lidumil je (Id toho zrazoval, ze je tam nezdravo ate ztroskotaji. Zrovna v ten cas se mu dostal do ruky dopis, kterY psal protestantskY far Bergman (rodem z pruskeho Slezka), kterY zakotvil v Cat Springs, Texas.

RadostnY svit nadeje pohasl v oeich RUZeny stejne rychle jako se objevil. Co slySela, bylo tak hrozne, OSklive a nemoralni, ze citila nad tim vsini ion hints.

"Tedy snoubenci pied shatkem snazi se ze vSech sil, aby jeden druheho oSidili? Jinak si piece nemohu vyloLti tve slova."

"Slovo je trochu silnY vYraz," odporoval $ene MareS. "Jsou pouze opatrni. Obchodnik, chcemli uzaviit ouchod, mmii ten sve zbaZi ueiniti kavejSi a zataji jeho vady. Kdyby byl up irony, kupec by se mu vysmal a odeSel by."

"Krasna moralka, skuteene," vz*H chla RuZena." "PtirovnavaS-li alai k obchodu, pak ovSem tve nazory chapu.
