FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK SPJST Member to be "Governor for a Day." Sunday, June 29, at Linden Hall, Lodge 66, Elm Mott at the District III YAD, your editor had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of a young fellow-member who was there to be one of the judges. He is a brother in our SPJST and a member of Lodge No. 36, West, according to information given by Lodge 36 Secretary Bro. Jerome Kopecky. lie is our fraternal brother and State Senator Murray Watson. We offer our congratulations and the following information received from the Governor-for-a-Day Committee: State Senator Murray Watson, a quiet young small-town product who "never dreamed I'd ever be sitting in the Sena te," will serve as Texas' Governor for a Day on July 12.

Friends of the lanky 37-year-old attorney from throughout the state and his home district will congregate in Austin that day for the verbal and other tributes traditionally associated with the State Senate's President ProTem actually becoming the state's chief executive for a day. Governor Preston Smith and Lieutenant Governor Ben Barnes will both be out of the state.

Senator Watson, who first went to the legislatue 14 years ago as a 22year-old House of Representatives bill

WELL, DID YOU? Did you help to pour the coffee, Or get the chairs in place?

Or if a member seemed to have, An unfamiliar face, Did you try to make him feel at ease, and did you clasp his hand?

Or did you just ignore him, And let him forlornly stand?

Did you volunteer committee work, Or weren't you even there?

Did you try to help to pull the load, Or did you duck your share?

Or were you in absentia, Ensconced upon the shelf?

We have no right to ask You, So why not ask yourself! clerk, was sworn in as interim President Pro-Tern of the Senate during the closing hours of the 61st Legislature. His wife, Greta, and their 5-yearold daughter, Millicent, stood proudly at his side as the lieutenant governor performed the swearing-in.

Senator Watson will be officially sworn in as Governor for July 12 by the Chief Justice of the Tenth Court of Civil Appeals in Waco, Frank G. M,cDonald. The two are close personal friends, and both are graduates of the Baylor University School of Law. The swearing-in ceremony , will be held at 9:30 a.m. in the Governor's office reception room.

From 9:30 to 10 a.m. Watson will sign

various proclamations in his new role as governor. A reception will follow in the governor's office from 10 a.m. to noon, and also from 2 to 4 p.m. The Watsons will be "at home" at an open house in the Governor's Mansion across from the capitol from 3 to 5 p.m.

The day's main social event will be a banquet honoring Watson, starting at 7 p.m. in Austin's Terrace Motel Convention Center. Hundreds of Watson supporters from his 5-county senatorial district are due to gather to hear tributes to Watson and to present a variety of personal gifts of appreciation. Tickets to the affair are on sale for $5 each.

The day's activities will include musical and other entertainment, and from 10 ant. to 5 p.m. an art show on the second floor of the capitol will display the works of artists residing in Watson's district.

An informal committee is supervising arrangements for the festivities.

Soon after it Was published, your editor received, as a, gift from his wife;; "Profiles in .Courage" by the late. US President John. F. - Kennedy. After reading it carefully, -the reader cap easily see that ' the one .vhlue that President Kennedy admired the most in mankind. was eop rar, ,. Andrew Jackson once said: "One man with courage makes a majority." Ernest Hemingway defined it: "Grace under pressure." Courage to be right in your lodge and especially in polities, is a certain risk you have to take, however, the one who has the courage to state their convictions always •hie..s many more sensible admirers. than the one who will tight-rOpe walk through a question and never take a stand be-! cause of some fear their well-being will be hurt. Until you are proven wrong, your convictions must have been correet!

After reading certain reports of lodge secretaries, and receiving some letters pertaining to some matters in lodges, we wish to write ill( ;(-, few lines.

As a youth, your editor used to see a small book entitled "Stariovy" on the table: We were advised that those were the "by-laws" of the SPJST in CzeCh in Those, days.. Our father would get them .every four years, after attending the conventions. Upon opening the book, we foUnd that from the very founding of our Society, there were local lodges charged with electing officers and committees. There were the president, secretary, treasurer, and financial secretary, or combinations of the:same, The committees were: -`q\19.-:jetkOvy vybor, .etc."

The Property Committee, Auditing Committee, Resolution Committee, etc. and others as they became needed.'

Naturally,. the • Entertainment Committee soon becande ' a _necessity,: at; many' lodges.' What we are trying to The -ledges were so designed state that the officers were the executives, the members were the legi;:la Live body,

Wednesday, July 9, 1969 and the committees were to carry out the desire of the members. The property committee was to be responsible for ALL of the property of the lodge, making monthly reports of same, condition of the overall property, expenses and income and profit or loss at each meeting to the membership.

The same applied to ALL of the other committees, and still does. The name of the Property Committee became translated in later years to Committee of Trustees, and later to Board of Trustees, if you will. At any rate the committee is a group of members entrusted with the safe-keeping of the lodge property. Some lodges tend to call this committee the Board of Directors which is a misnomer, for we have only one Board of Directors and that is the seven-member board in the Supreme Lodge. We note by some letters that comittees desire to refrain from reading their reports in the monthly meetings. We call your attention to Article 99, page 99 of our by-laws, sub-sections 8 and 16.

• July 4, 1969 will be history when you read these lines. We sincerely hope that this finds you in as good, if not better health than before. The NSC predicts that 650 people will meet death on this July 4th weekend. Let us hope that they are wrong! Indeed, it seems to be as Will Rogers used to say: "We kill more Americans celebrating our independence on July 4th, than we lost in winning it!" We would much lather have our Vestnik in possession of a reader than a statistic.

Dear Readers, Last week I met some of my old acquaintances at the District Six camp which was held at Bastrop State Park. I also met a lot of new friends.

I was called the "nature lady" since each day I took a different grou p on a hike through the beautiful pine forest and helped the children make spider web pictures. We learned about the different kinds- of leaves then we pressed them between wax paper to preserve them.

One day we had a cookout. The children prepared a one-pot meal in the out of doors and baked three cakes on coals. The meal was very good. A special occasion occurred when the children made ice cream in a hole in the ground. First, they dug a hole about two feet deep, then mixed ice

WedneSday, July 9, 1969 cream and put it in three gallon jars and sealed them. These jars were put in the hole and covered with ice, then a tarp was placed over the hole and it was covered with dirt. We let the ice cream stay in this hole for ten hours then we dug it up and had a delicious dessert.

Kathy and James Janousek taught the children how to paint with liquid embrodery. Each child painted a picture to take home. We had a flag ceremony each day, games and swimming.

I thank Sister Brdecka and District Six for inviting me. I enjoyed working with the children and adults. You all were great.

Our youth club girls are having a three day slumber party at our lodge.

If I survive this I think I will have it made. Ha! Fraternally, Mrs. Steve Bartek Committee Member P.S. I am busy, busy, busy, and almost forgot. I want to congratulate all of the 1st place winners in District IT wishing all of you the best at state and also you who were not winners, congratulations to you, too.

10 making plans to attend camp this year. If you are eligible to go to camp, you must mail your application blanks to me by July 18, as I will have to know how many are going to attend, so plans can be completed. You must send your applications in because I can mark you off the list, but I can't add you to the list after July 18. Anyone who is not eligible to go by the rules and who wishes to go can go, by paying $4.35 per day for three days. Your money must accompany our application blanks.

June 1st was the beginning of a new year, so let's try to make 1970 a better year. Let's get busy and start working on how to make our youth club grow.

We have only three youth clubs in District 4. Let me come to some of your lodge meetings and tell you what our SPJST has to offer to our youth.

Help them to get organized now so they can be eligible to go camping in 1970. Any youth who has attended 50 per cent of the lodge meetings,- if the lodge does not have a youth club, is eligible to go. Surely some of the lodges have a few youth who are eligible to ga to camp. Let me hear from you if you have any questions.

-sr JS•--LODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Readers, I joined the youth club only eight months ago, so I don't know much about youth activities.

I do know that my youth club is very active, and to prove it we won the youth club award for District III. To be an active youth club every member must participate in the club's projects.

Another reason we're active is because besides work and projects, we have so much entertainment it could last a lifetime.

We wouldn't have so much entertainment if it wasn't for our youth leader, Mrs. Libby Parma, and her assistants.

This is why my youth club is so active and successful. Thank you.

Wednesday, July 9, 1969 LODGE NO, 13, DIME BOX Dear Readers, We had a meeting on June 21 and we discussed matters pertaining to the dance on June 22. We drew lots from a hat to find out what time we would work in the soda pop stand. I was looking_forward to it and we all had a good time.

In the same meeting, we also discussed and planned on what our club was going to do for YAD. More about this will be .discussed in the later meetings.

On June 10 we members went to the Overlook Marina at Somerville Lake.

We invited our parents to come along.

First we went to the Marina and went on the paddle boats. The members and the parents went back to our picnic table and we had a wiener roast. We all had fun.

Summer is here and we are going to have more time for activities; for instance, on July 6-10 we are going on our District I camping trip to Bastrop State Park. All of us are looking forward to this.

--SPJSTLODGE NO. 66, WACO Dear Vestnik Readers, District III held their YAD on June 29, at Linden Hall. There were quite a few people there, but not as many as I had expected. Entries in Arts and Crafts showed how much skill the youth of today have. Paintings, flowers and baskets of flowers, decorai 'd mirrors, purses, cakes and about anything else you could think of were entered.

Youth, ranging in age from 6 to 19, showed the audience just how much talent they have. There were skits, plays, monologues and many more.

The point winners were announced for each lodge and then the district Junior and Teenager of the Year.

Donna Gerlich of Lodge 66 was announced as. Teenager of the Year.

Royalty, one of the most impressive of the contests at district YAD, was presented. Queen and king contestants recited their speeches and then they announced the District III Queen and King of 1969.

Anyone who won something at YAD surely deserved it.

Well, see you at our next meeting.

Wednesday, July 9-, 1969 LODGE NO. 24, CYCLONE Dear Readers, Lodge 24, Cyclone, had a tour to the Coca-Cola bottling plant. This tour was conducted on June 27, at 9:30.

There were many interesting things about haw the soft drink is bottled.

The decaser removed empty bottles from their cases and passed them to the washer.

The washer cleaned, sanitized and rinsed each bottle. We saw the washed bottle and empty bottle inspection, too.

The filler-crowner filled the bottleS and sealed them with a clean, airtight cap. Last of all was the process of the case and carton packer. Everyone enjoyed this tour.

Afterwards we went to the park to play. We all had a nice time there.

Later we ate in town.

The YAD was held June 22 and our point contest winners were: 1st, Faye Zavodny; 2nd, Sharon Schiller; 3rd, Debbie Zavodny. Sharon Schiller, Arleen Cabala, Faye and Debbie Zavodny won first place in group talent.

Congratulations to all winners.

Fraternally, Faye Zavodny (12) Treasurer LODGE NO. 13, DIME BOX Dear Readers, On June 21, we had our monthly meeting. The pledge was said by all, followed by a moment of silent prayer. We had 11 members present. Under old business we discussed the nice time we had at the swimming party that the Snook youth invited us to.

Under new business, we discussed camp, and YAD. Both groups decided what they were going to do. For individual talent we are going to have a contest to see who will go to the district YAD. The contest will be held after the District I camp.

On June 22, we had the soda pop stand. We drew for our time, and only had to work at that time. The Barons played. See you at camp.

Fraternally, Deborah Kubena (15) SPJST--LODGEI NO. 13, DIME BOX Dear Readers, District I will have camp the week of July 6-10. It will be at Bastrop State Park. It was there last year. I hope everyone will have a nice time. I know I will.

VESTNIK were supposed to work. I worked from 9-10.

I hope everyone iz working on their crafts for YAD. It will be on August 3 at New Tabor hall.

• The Schenburns have a nice place within walking distance of a fun filled lake. You can fish or swim, which ever one suits your fancy.

We had many wonderful varieties of foOd to snack on, one of which was home-made ice cream. We enjoyed the peaceful outdoors while we ate.

I' was really delighted that Evelyn Mattes and Stephen of Galveston and the Veselka family of Lodge 142 had joined us.

The parents sat around talking about many things. I wonder what all those giggles were about?

I would like to thank Mr. Custard for giving the teens a lot of fun in the lake. I am sorry that was your last dry shirt!

Our lodge has many activities going on, too. Do not forget about the ceramic classes on Thursda y from 10 till 2 p.m. — only two more days.

Please remember the teen dances every Friday, 7;30 to 11:30.

The July and August meetings will be held on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. Try to attend.

IN MEMORIAM LODGE NO. 35, ELK Dear Readers, I enjoyed the YAD very much. The craft was very good. I thought the talent was very good, too. They all deserved first place but only one can win. I enjoyed the royalty best. I pretended to be a judge but got stuck when it came time to decide which was best.

The food was very good. It was cold most of the time but I was glad it was not hat!

Items of Interest

"Concealed" "That guy is so tough," runs an old gag, "that if he puts his hands in his pockets, he could be arrested for carrying concealed weapons."

He couldn't, though, no matter how deadly his fists, because they would not be "concealed." In spite of the fabric covering the pockets, anyone could tell that his hands were there'.

For contrast, consider this case: A man arrested with a gun in his pocket argued that it had not really been concealed, because it made a distinct and visible bulge.

But the court decided there was still sufficient concealment to make the man guilty of the charge. The judge said a mere bulge was not enough warning, to an ordinary observer, that the man was armed.

It is this test -- obviousness to an Ordinary observer — that the law usually applies in deciding whether a person is carrying a concealed weapon.

Thus, a gun would not be considered concealed simply because a particular person, looking from a particular angle, was unable to see it. For example: A man who had a gun openly displayed in his belt was found not guilty of the offense. Even though the arresting officer — approaching from behind — could not see the gun, it was obvious enough for ordinary observation.

And what does "carrying" mean?

Does the person actually have to be moving with the gun?

One man, seeing an officer near by, hastily slipped his pistol into an inside pocket. Arrested and brought to trial for carrying a concealed weapon, he offered -this defense to the court: " 'Carrying' means transporting the weapon from one place to another. did not move a single step."

But the court pointed out that, although "carrying" could mean "transporting," it could also mean just "pos7 sessing." The judge decided to pick the meaning which, considering the pur pose of the law, made the most sense-

15 and lie found the man guilty.

(c) 01,980 FEDERAL GRANT APPROVED FOR McKINNEY PARKS A $91,980 Federal grant has been approved for construction of outdoor recreation . facilities in three city parks wihtin the boundaries of the north Texas city of McKinney, according to Will Odom, chairman of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission.

These funds will be matched by city funds in a $183,960 project to develop approximately 80 acres of the total 260 acres in Finch., Mouzon and North City Parks, Odom said.

Plans for development include construction of roads, footbridges, parking areas, restroom and concession buildings, service and storage buildings, picnic units, playground equipment.

The project also includes design, layout, site preparation„ landscaping and fencing.

Odom said the McKinney project marks the 22nd city, county or river authority park which has received funds since the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act was passed by the U. S. Congress in 1965.

Odom said the original proposal for the project was submitted by Mayor W. B. Finney and City Manager ri . J. Cope of McKinney.

The Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Program, which provides the Federal funds, is administered on the Federal level by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, U. S. Department of Interior. Its funds are derived from the sale of surplus government property, Federal motorboat fuel tax and the sale of the $7 -Golden Eagle Passport and other outdoor recreation fees.

Odom is State Liasion Officer for the fund and responsible for reviewing projects and proposals submitted for Federal assistance.

101,5,51.11 Fraternally yours, Ben Zabcik, Financial Secretary -Or.) ba.— ITEMS OF INTEREST CONT'D ORTHODONICS — STILL A BARGAIN IN HEALTH CARE Many a parent is amused by thumb sucking, pleased when a child has his father's large teeth, "understanding" enough to give a child with buck teeth' a clarinet "because it seems to fit" — and altogether unaware that each of these situations can lead to grave dental trouble.

Orthodontists — dentists who specialize in realigning teeth that need it — say that about 50 per cent of American children need some form of .orthodontic supervision, and that in half of these cases the need is urgent.They also say that thumb sucking beyond age four may require dental attention, that the child with large ,teeth and a small jaw is headed for trouble, and that while a clarinet for a buck toothed child could be a disaster, his learning to play the flute .could make orthodontic care unnecessary.!

At any age, misaligned teeth are more serious than many people realize.

Tooth irregularities, or a "amalocclu sion" as the orthodontist calls it, can cause harm in five separate ways: 1. When teeth don't meet properly, extra strain is placed on gums and bones, setting the stage for gum diseases and subsequent tooth loss.

2. Food is trapped more easily between misplaced, tilted and jammedtogether teeth. Decay leads to tooth loss which leads to unwanted tooth shifting and further tooth loss.

3. An improper bite interferes with normal chewing. This leads a person to shy away from foods he needs and otherwise would eat..

4. A misshapen dental arch can cause speech difficulties.

5. Emotional scars from looking "funny" can be very deep and painful.

UCIVIE SE PESKY Lekce Sestadvacata — Lesson 26 The verb — sloveso The verb is a Word that indicates action by a subject, of a process, a state of a person or thing: The verb changes its form according to the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person who performs an action; according to the time (present, past, future); to the manner of the action.

Every verb refers to a subject and time. bojujeme — my bojujeme (we are fighting NOW), whereas the nouns I10.1 (fight) and adjectives (bojovnY) bear no relation to time.

FINITE forms of verbs express number and person contained in the subject: naluvim — I AM speaking.

NON-FINITE forms have a nominal character: budovani, stavkovani — the ACT of building, striking, etc.

• • REFLEXIVE verbs indicate an action which is performed by the subject upon himself, Ex., mYti se, oblekat Sc, brat si, ueime se.

Sometimes, the verb may be separated by several words from its reflexive pronoun: 'idyl se - po dlouhe dobe domft.

In colloquial speech, we use the compound forms "ses" and "sis", which are the results of abbreviating jsi se (scs) and jsi si (sis). Thus: Ty jsi se nemyl becomes: Ty ses nemyl. Co jsi si oral? becomes: So sis pia'?

With some verbs se has no meaning at all, and arc called "simple" reflexives. Ex.: Divati se na neeo • small se; pteiti se, etc. There are about 60 verbs of this type. Many of them express physical or mental feelings; bati se; diviti se; ziobiti se; chce se mi, etc.

The Czech verb possess: 1) 3 tenses: present, past, future.

2) 2 aspects: imperfactive, perfective.

3) moods: infitritive, indicative, imper:hitive, conditional.

4) voices: active and passive.

5) 2 number: singular and plural; 3 persons (1st, 2nd, 3rd.)

Imperfective: etouce Infinitive: eisti Non-participle: Present: etu &ten, etena, Past: 661 jsem eteno Future: budu gist verbal noun: Imperative: eti! eteni Perfective: pieeet1 bych to.. . preeisti —dosen't exist p act — 1, SC

21 pieeetl jsem preetu preeti to: preeten, preetena, Conditional: Ceti 'tree eno bych Present participle: eta, etoue, pieeteni Verbs: are also: 1) durative: jim, etu, nesu (I am eating,etc.)

2) iterative: jida,m, edam, nosim (I often eat, etc.)

3) frequentative: jida,varn, eitivam, nosivam (I am in the habit of. . .)

• Some prefixes change the meaning of the original verb. Ex.: delati PitEdelati (To alter or change) psati ZApsati (to write down, enter) platiti — PODplatiti (to bribe) jeti ujeti — (to abscond, make off).

• • Some verbs may take on 2 prefixes: z-pre-vraceti (to completely turn over everywhere) po-za-bijeti (to kill people all over the place) po-po-sednouti to move over, while sitting) There are 2 negative participles in Czech: 1) NE — nemluvim, nedelarn etc.

2) NI — nikdo, nic, nijakS, Two negatives do not make an affirmative: Nedelim nie; neznant nikoho, nikdo nikdy nic nevi.

ANI is used for TAKE in emphatic negative: ani on to nevi.

ANIZ is used as a conjunction: Odjel, anti se rozloueil (he left 'without saying goodbye.)

Pavlikovy kroky zaharaSily na drevene rohoZi, zadunely na dlakdicich domovni chodby. Nikele nebylo Give duae, i stolek, kde &autoval desatnik v denni sluabe, byl opuat'en. MuZstvo bylo dosud na Z vYklenku pod schodiatem hledela Pavlikovi vsttic sadrova bysta neboZtika mocnate, nad ni visel jako ptipravena opratka temen, kterY tu zbyl po zrekvirovanem zvonei.

Kdesi vzadu ttiskly dveke, ozvalo se

V 2/3TNIK.

dute a tesklive chrchlani. Praporeik se na okamZik zastavil. Z pri gai sine se vynorila postava stareho domobrance bez opasku, s dYmkou v zubech a s kbelikem v ruce. Spattil dUstojnika a sahl nedbale dvema prsty k gtitku pice. Pavlik mu odpovedel, a kraeel dal k zadriirn dvetim, vedoucIc na dvtir.

Mel jia ruku na klice, ale kbelik s fineenim dopadl na zem a z fist muZe, kterY jej nesl, vySel tahlY, neureitY zvuk. Pavlik se ohledl a zadival se na domobrance pozorneji, Postava, jakoby 2lomend v ktili, vyhasle oci, zapadle v hlubokYch jamkach, splihlY knir, "Jemine, strYeku, to jste vy?"

Kverka ,vytahl dYniku z fist a svraatil tvat do zmueeneho Usinevu.

"Taky sem te, Jendo, hned nepoznal. To le nahoda!" °brad. shledani naprosto nebyl neueenY. Kverka sl'ottel ruku o plaSt,' a vahave ji podal praporcikovi. Stali proti sober. Strke byl o kus vetsi ned synovec.

"To jsou voci," podotkl Kverka s povzdechem. ,Otevrel vieko dYniky zadal . paleem horlive udusavat polovyhaslY tabak.

"Vy jste take u -druhe, strYeku?"_zeptal se Pavlik zbyteene. "To jsme se tedy octli u stejne kumpaniel" Kverka like° zahuhlal, ale iadne odpovedi se to nepodobalo.

"Shad nejste, strYeku, marod?" Tato otazka byla nemene zbyteena. KdyZ nokdo v dobe zamestnani coura /Jo ehodbath a jeSte k tomu s kbelikem v ram je vic nez jasne, ze byl uznan mm113'7-111 a Ze je pro tutu chvili pridelen k lehei sluZbe. Pot= bud' akrabe brambory pro kuchyri, noeleZnach nebo eisti zachody.

Kverka zasykl, p •eMapl z nohy na nohu a malatne si sahl na pra y.j? bok.

"To via, mam reuma. Svy start' reuma."

Jeate vice se poktivil. Uptel na praporeika sve melancholicke °el a vYznamne zakaAlal. "Taky tady me to zlobi." zakptal dilverne a zakiepal si kostnatYm prstem na propadlY Maidnik. "Piehani." Pak zaSermoval dYmkou. Timto gestem jako by ehtel naznaeit celou mizerii vojenskeho stave.

"Pied tYdnem jsem byl jeat doma," pravil Pavlik ostYchave.

"Ja vim, Baena, mi o torn psala," prohlasil Kverka lakonicky.

"Jen2e mi doma pravil dfistojnik o nee° Ziveji, "Ze jste v Brunnersdorfu u straaniho oddilu. Proto se divim, .2e jsem vas naael tady. Jak jste se sem vlastne dostal?

"E — to via. Maki komise a vyrazili

me. Tak marodim tady." Zase preSlap1 z nohy na nohu jako rozpaeitY Zak a pak se nahnul k Pavlikovu uchu, ,jako by mu &A sverit nadrniru tajemstvi: "Stejne me tam nedostanou." Tarn, to bylo na frontu, do zakopii. Kverkovo tvrzeni, vyslovene s takovym dilrazem, bylo veru mane vzit doslovne. Pavlikuv strYc rozhodre nebyl z tech, ktere by tam mohli jeate kdy dostat.

"Doma jsou zdravi. .." hlasil puaporeik novinky, jak se sluSelo na 6ynovce.

"Voni sou zdravi, ale ja, sem nemocnej," stanval si nefistupne stryc. Pak se zas tak posupne usmal a sahl chiapci na limec stejnokroje, na nema se skvel ziatY pruh a hvezda na purpurove vYlace. "Tak vida, ty seZ ua fenrichem. Ma.,S" to dobrY. Aspori pkideS' k lepMmu Zradlu My," ukazal tuavnu'UM ruky v tu stranu, kde level siiolnl &tr a kde v bYvalYch drevnich byly umisteny kuchyne. "budeme fines ryby."

"Ryby?" zeptal se Pavlik zdvorile.

"No — ryby. Smradlavy 'StokfAc se At'ouchanejma bramborama."

V KverkovYch oeich se zraeilo bezmezne hate.

"StrYeku," dovtIpil se Pavlik "ecApak abychom si spolu nekdy sedli veder v nejake restauraci? Mohli bYchom si tam v klidu pohovotit. • ."

Kverka se mu alive zahledel do oblieeje. "Pohovorit? Proepak ne? JenZe pree s tebou nepudu v techhle haclrech!" Badry opravdu nevypadaly zrovna salonne. Kaihoty mely na. katdem kolene zaplatu jive barvy, rorttepene ovinovaeky sahaly sotva do poloviny lYtek a priliA kratkY plaa' byl asi pedayno od.vkven. Byl tak pomaekanY,, jako by jej byla Popelka prave vytahla z liskoveho orgku.

"Nu, extrauniformu si piece proto nepotidite, abyste si se mnou mohl vypit pullitr . piva," tekl Pavlik s Prehnanou bodrosti, aby pozvedl jeho duclia.

"Tak tcda dobi-e, to by ala," pocivoloval se Kverka. "DyZ ty se za, nine Ilebudea stydet, mne je to jedno. A km marn ptijit? A kdy?" Spolkojene si hladil plochou dlani davno neholene strnisko.

Vtom se odkudsi zpovzdali ozvalo zbe sile a tahle volani: Kverkada! Kverkada?" Jakesi dvete bouchly a volani se opakovaio poznovu a blize "KverkaCa? Kde u vaech eertii vezite? Na hajzlu nejste, kde se teda ulejvate, u vaech sakril?"

Kverka ukazal palcem v tu stranu a nakrabil 'bolestne- tvat. Znamenalo to: SlyMS? To je na mne. Takhle tu se mnou mluvi, takhle se mnou zachazeji!

A zase fineive a vztekle: "Kverkaa!"

Nove dvete praskly, jakfrsi katr zakvilel a na dlagbe zacvakaly okovane bay. K dvojici se ptititil rozezlenfr desatnik v denni slughe s nabojnicend na Jakmile spattil praporeika, postavil se do pozoru, zasalutoval a spustil: "Her Fahnrich, melde gehorsamst, Korporal von Tag!" "Teel me," pravil praporeik vlidne a s ironickfrm Usmevem, "jen g ja, nejsem ve slugbe."

Desatnik, v prove sve hoclnosti svobodnik, jeSte chvilku nejapne otalel na aniste, pak tizne zasalutoval a zvolna odchazel. Nekolikrate se pc) Kverkovi ohledl a zmetil si ho nebezpeenYin pohledem.

ROMAN Bohumil Zahradrtik - Brodsky

Pokraeovani "Tohle vgechno je nejak podivne," pottasal myslivec hlavou, zjevne elm nespokojen. "Znam vas dobte, va gim si vas, ale nedivte se, ge mam raz ne obavy, Jak pak je to a yogi budoucnosti?"

"Myslite tim,. marn-li pensi? Ne, te nernarn. Ale anad mi uvetite, ge svou gent( pfece poctive ugivim." `Dna je to zla vec, kdyby se stal ptipad smrti, bylo by s ni zle, a aby narn potom s detmi na krk, to by bylo na povagenou."

"Slibuji, ge neptijdu," ozvala se Bohunka, trochu podragdene.

"Ty mle a neplet' se do hovoru," oktikl ji otec. "Jo, se musim starat, tva berstarostnost a lehkornyslnost nits ua jednou uvedla do zle situate to se nesmi opakovati."

"Nebude, tatinku, dostala jsem dobre givotni naueeni, a kdybych jednou byla bez chleba, doma se nevratim." bylo zFejmo, ge se start lanev provaluje a ge hrozi sragka.

"Dovolte, pane lesni," vmisil se do hovoru Dornin chlacholive. "Neuptete mi pfece, ge jsem mu g starostlivY. Sta, a tisice fitednikit bez naroka na pensi se geni a jsou to vfriiinky, kdyg ne-

"To ne, povidarn to, jak me to napadlo, a beze zle vtzle. Chcete-li dceru pojistiti, potom oviiern je vec jina a nic nenamitam. Sfiatek byste odlogit nechtel?"

"Nemohu, pane lesni."

"Valyt' se s dcerou ani nezndte!"

"Pozndme se do snatku dost. Prijdu denne se na ni podivat a potom, budeme svoji, poznarne se dokonale.

Tedy nic nenamitate?"

"Co bye hnamital?" pokreil rameny.

"Trvate-li na svem, s Panein Bohem se vezmete. Jen mi nikdy a narky nechod'te!"

"Nebudu, pane lesni," zasmal se, vida, jeho Spatnou naladu. ‘`Zatim vain srdeene dekuji a ostatni si povime po druhe. Chvatam jeSte do dvora a prijail son yeeer. Bohunka by me mohla nyni kousek doprovoditi.” je va'Si nevestou, jen at' jde," svoloval a podal mu ruku. Take jeho pani mu ruku podala a stale se po dceil ohligela, jako by eekala nejake vysvetleni. Nahle objeveni se napadnika, ktery po gival takove vfrborne povesti a o nema nemela ani nejrnenSiho zdani, Irecku ji rozruSilo. Na dceru mela od jejiho padu zlost a uvykla si uz divati se na ni jako nit bytost pohrdanou, ktera, jest nav gdy odsouzena, do domacnosti rodiett, kde bude trpelive a nadto velmi svedomite konati sve prate slu gky i kuchatky. Ted' jako by se jeji srdce i jeji svedomi probouzelo a jako by si ptipamatovavala vSechnu svou tvrdost a necitelnost.

2e je Domin pro dceru vYbornou partii, to pochopila (hive ne g jeji mug a mrzela se na mu ge, ze tak skoro hrube se spravcem hovotil. Neodva gila se muge upozorniti, znajic jeho vYbuchy a bezohlednost, ale eekala, ge aspori dcera projevi trochu pohnuti, neco tekne nebo otee a matku obejme. Atli jedno, ani druhe se nestalo.

Bohunka nejak podivne se usmivala, a sotva otec projevil svoleni k jeji vychazce, otoeila se a chvatala napted yen.

"Prosim te, start, co se stab?" ptala se, kdy g dvete za, snoubenci zapaclly. "Mel jsi nejake tuSenir "6erta, jsem mei. Jsem z toho celfr

Ve aftedu 9, eervence 1909 vrtohlavY. Spravce v gdycky chodil kolem, jako by nits ani kale neznal, a Bohunka s nim, pokud vim, nikdy nemluvila. Zda se mi, de jsme se mYlili, ge je to prohnany chlapek, kterY se s ni davno ug slizal. Kdo vi, neni-li ug zase v hanbe! Prof by jinak tolik chvatali?"

"Mohu meal, ge cleyeeti nic near," prohlasila rozhodne. "A pochybuji, ge by k ne6emu takovemu doMo. Pova govala jsem spravce za Zenieha Sochorovy Very, Vgak jsi sam to ,jednou nadhodil. Tam se musilo neco stati a spravce, aby zakryl ze dostal kagidkem, cbratil se k nam. Bylo by pro device stestim, kdyby se to stalo, ale bojim se, ie k tomu nedojde."

"Toho se nebojim, spravce dodrgi slovo. Ale co vlastne si potom podnou?

On ma slughu malou a Sochor ho vygene, kdy bude chtiti. Mysli-li, ge se Lain potom do myslivny nastehuji, to se rozhodne mfrli a take mu to jegte teknu."

"Prosim te, nezaeinej o nieem takovein, abys ho neurazil. Je to pkece jen pro (levee opravdove stesti. Oasto jsem se sougila mySlenkou, co si s ni poeneme, a g jednou piljde§ do pease."

"Meli jsme ji posla t do slu gby, utrhl se rozmrzele.

"A dolma, jsme melt plat!, cizi slugebz non! Nemej proti ni takovou zaAt', je to pfece jen na'ae dite!"

"Ale nepodatene. Budu rad, a g mi nal odejde."

"Jen abys ji jednou je§te nevolal," povidala vyeitave a povzdychnuv gi si, odchazela radeji do kuchyne. Vedela, ge v takove nalade s mu gem nice neni, a jeji nalada nemohla snesti takove tvrdosti. Byla opravdu velmi poteSena a jako by kamen ji s prsou spadl, ge dcera, kterou rr g navgdy za ztracenou pova govala, najednou jest zachranena a dojde Stesti. Musi ptece neco pro dceru zchystati, i kdyby mug huboval. Do smrti by si vyeitala, g e jedno dite odbyla jako macecha, aelcoliv pro ostatni negetrila.

Litovala, ze Bohunka hned odala nic ji doma nepovidala. To asi teprve nyni se budou s Dominem domlouvati a Domin jiste si bude o ni, o matce, mysliti, ze je zrovna takova, jako otec.

Nic takoveho se nestalo. V po yfAerie a radostne nalade sli spoilt. Bohunka teprve nyni jaksi uvetila v nahlou uddlost a jeji oblieej li sla vedle Domina inleky a pouze pa nem pokukovala. Xdy g vAak poodeMi trochu dale do lesa, pojednou se ho dotkla a rukou jeho ruku za zapestim sevtela.

Ve sttedu 9. 6ervence 1969 "Jsme-li zasnoubeni, mohu se snarl zavesiti," povidala trochu ostkchave.

"Ovgem, promirite, de jsem takovk neohrabank. Ostatne neni tteba, aby mezi nami byla nejaka cizota. Chvile, kdy budeme mudem a denou, je nedaleka a nejsme snilky, abychom chteli si zahravati na mladieke nezkukence. Dej mi, Bohunko, svou ruku, at' to citim.

Vetim, ze na, ge duke budou snaze putovati do nakich 211, aby se yza,jemne spojily. Veras mi, ie se mi libik?"

"Vetim," ptitakala bladene a ptitiskla se svym mladkm, teplYm telem k jeho boku.

"Snad i ja, najdu malieka zalibeni ye tvem srdci."

"Libil ses mi davno," ptiznavala se.

"Jsi takovk statnk a vddycky jsi chodil jako sebevedomk a mutiny junak."

"Nu, to je vic chvaly, net jsem eekal," zaZertoval. "Velikk junak nejsem. Po Zene jsem LouZit a Zen jsem se ostYchal. AZ u tebe me ostychavost opustila. Budu dlouho a hodne 11bavat a objimat, budu nenasytny a nesling se tomu smati."

"Ktera dena by se tomu smala, kdy2 ji mud: liba a objima! Ani ja jsem jegtk nebyla nasycena a prchava, chvile, kterou jsem za gtesti povalovala, byla vlastne utrpenim. Nemysli si vgak, muj drahY, ie jsem pouze lehkomyslna. Moje krev je site dhava, ale dovedu miti ocelove nervy a deleznou Budu ti sludkou, ktera nikdy nezapomene. co jsi pro nine vykonal."

"Nechci dadne sludky, 84.01 bych se videti Zeno, pokornou a ulekanou. ftovni si buderne a jedine, po tern toukrn, le, abychom meli k sobe dri.veru a vdy si vgecko poctive do del ken, at' dobre nebo neptijemne. Kde neni davery, tam neni Lasky a vadnosti."

"Slibuji ti, de najdek vddy me srdce otevteno," pravila jako slavnostne.

"A me take. Veeer se musime poraditi, jak si uspo •adame svti,j byt. Vig, Ze mam mai.° mista, dva pokojiky a kuchyriku."

"Retell pokojik by Liam staeil. K Cemu nejakou nadhcru? Budu po cclk den v kuchyni, a bude-li tteba, i yenku ti pomohu. Nejsem nezkukcna sleeinka a znam hospodarstvi lope net mnoha selka.

"Uvidime, Bohunko, jak se na g divot utvati. Zde dlouho nezilstanu, budu nyni hledat peelive jine misto a nejra.cleji bych nekam do ciziny. Nebudeg se bati jiti hodne daleko?"

"Oirn dale to bude, tim lope, jen kdy ty budeg se mnou. Teprve cizina uzdravi me srdce."

Vg$TN/K "Jsem ra.•, ze budu mitt stateenou 'denu. Tvrij otec zda se, o nine pochybuje a dokadi mu, jak se mklil. Jen Vete netikej nic o myth umyslech. fzekne g ji, a2Z k tobe pitjde, co se mezi nami stalo?"

"Prot bych to skrkvala? Ci si toho neptejeg?"

"Ach, nikoliv. Upozornuji pouze, aby ses na vse ptipravila. Bude asi kousava, ale tim se nedej podraidditi."

"Dnes mne nikdo nepodraddi. ZnoVu jsem se zrodila a jen ten, kdo vi, co toto vysvobozeni pro mne znamena, pochopi, jak jsem kt'astna. A nejen to.

Mam mute, jakeho mi mohou vgecky zavideti. Je to velikY den, kterY proZivam, 2e se at bojim, aby nine osud zase nesrazil a neponidil."

"Vet a vkeho dojde g. I ja mam enu zavideni lioelnou."

Sii jako milenci, opojeni krasou yelike chvilc, a Domin, jindy such' a vadrik, usmival se blouznive a tiskl jeji ruku aZ palila. Les nebyl girokY a doclriizeli na druhou stranu. Domin zastavil a odsunul jemne jeji ruk zespod sve pale.

"Zde se rozloueime, zdrZel jsem se a s tebou bych nevykonal, co mam. yeCer asi po sedme pifjdU k varn. OkamZik se zdriim uvnitt, potom vgak pajderne yen toulat' se tichkm lesem a poli. Na shledanou, Bohuneeko!"

Nachklil se a nedne ji polibil na svezi rty. Zachvela se pod timto polibenim a ptimhoutila Gel. "Na shledanou.," rydechla jako v pa1Psneni a stojic, divala se za nim. 0toed se, klobookem zamaval a ona rukou zattepala. Slzy ji do Oei veskoCily a obrativki se, gla zvolna dornri, jako by svet pro ni se ztratil. Koruny stronni gelestily nad jeji hlavou a v jejim nitru vyvanelo slavnostni probuzeni Lasky a 2ivota.

Dochazela prave k myslivne, kdy spati.ila Veru bliziti se od VelenoVic. Pfejela si dlani Colo, jako by zahanela vzpominky, a nutic se k itsmevu, gla ji vsttic.

"C'ekalas me" volala Vera a patrave se na ni divala. "(3ekala," phtakala. "Spravce ml vytizoval, tie ptijdek."

"Spravce? Ekikala jsem, aby sem kafat nekoho postal. Arci, on asi kel do dvora v Zalesi a stavil se zde. Prosim te, jak se tvatil? Nernraeil se?"

"Naopak, byl velmi veselk. Praire jsem ho vyprovazela pies les."

"Tys ho vyproVazela?" divila se a jeji pohled stal se je gte patravejkim.

"2aloval na me, ze?"

27 "Naopak. Povidal, jako Stesti to potkalo. &Meg se vdavati a dostane g bohateho Zenicha."

"0 tom neni jegte kedi," iekla popuzene. "Prod takove \Ted roznati? Dela to ze zlomyslnosti, aby se pomstil, jsem si jeho samotneho nevyvolila. Jak si mohl nen° takoveho dornYSleti?"

"Mani, ze ses asi matla," povidala pokojne a hlavou zavrtela. "Kdyby byl na tebe myslil, nebyl by o mou ruku "Cote? On tikal o tvou ruku? A kdy?

Je to vadne? Nedelal si pouze smith?"

"Miuvil jid s tatinkem a po nedeli budeme miti sriatek. Dnes pc) obede se to dojednalo. Znag ho dobte a vig, Donau neni takovk, aby tropil ye va2nYch vecech taSky." "Vy jste tedy meld del gi dobu znamost? lildyt' jsi mi nikdy nic nenaznariila."

Kaldou vtetinu byla rozeilenejki, jako by calla, Ac se cosi cleje, co krituje jeji plany a stavi vSe do jineho svatla, Bohunka nevestou toho, na koho si ona myslivala a na ktereho clatela Bohunku upozorriovati! Jak jen se to mohlo stati? Pketvafovali se pied ni, nebo se vge to oclehralo az dnes, kdy Do min v rozhokeeni ode gel? Asi. Pocitila bodavou bolest, zavist i hnev. Nemohla chapati,ze mohl tak snadno zapomenouti a ie mobil vybrati si (levee, ktere mu ona jako svrij dar chtela privesti. Ceti snad v jeji mysli? Nebo uz dtive take na ni myslil a mel ji jako v zaloze? A nebyl to pouze hnel, nezdarilo se ,jeji poslani? Jakasi bolest, ktere nerozumela a ktera se preti jeji vuli hlasila, svtrala jeji srdce. Domin, •statnST, poctiv3, a 6estnt se zjevil, jak si nan myslivala, kdy nic jineho nematlo pochod jejich myglenek a kdy nan jako na sveho ptatiho vyvoleneho myslivala. Cosi ji naSeptavalo, s tim 2e by byla nejbezpeenejSi a s tim f'ze by prokla, nejjistejl a nejkt'astneji divot. Prot ha ma dostati Bohunka, ktera si un svilj roman iivotni Prodila a ktera, jaksi nema posveceni, aby, jsouc poskyrnona, dostal mute bore skvrny.

Bohunka ji pozorne pozorovala a jeji rismev pomalu mizel ze slienkch jejich rtti. Rozumela tomu niternernu zapasu sve plitelkyne a jeji hrdost i urad'end citlivost se v ni zvedala.

"Prot mi kladeS tolik otazek?" ptala se vane a hlas se ji rnalieko ehvel.

"Nedopustila jsem se nieeho, co bych musila tajlti. Domin mi mari2elstvi nabidl a nemela jsem piiciny ho admitnouti. Va'ihn si ho a jsem si jista, '2e

28 ho budu miti uptimne rada."

"A kdy ti manZelstvi nabidl?" dolehala.

"Dnes, po obecle priael. Piekvapilo me to, neverila jsem zprvu, potom vSak, kdy jsem pochopila, ze mysli vaZne, nerozpakovala jsem se mu vylioveti. Vysvobodil me z prihany a nikdy mu toho nezapomenu."

Vera sklopila hlavu a uvat%ovala. Nemeta sil se pi'etvarovati, ptala si uhoUncuti Dominftv pochod cluSevni. telly je jisto, ze od ni odekl ura2,en ne na chvilku, ale navalycky, a ae si 'Lobo vlastne ptala, okolnost, ze sam se rozhodi a sam svym skutkem projevil, ze nemini malomyslne se trapiti pro svou zhrzenou lasku, kalilo jeji drivejSi veseli.

"Zmiriovala se take o mne?" ptala se neocIpovidajic na Bohuneina slova.

"Zminoval. BudeAl pry se vdavati za toinaSovskeho pana Braneckeho," odpovidala bez vahani.

"Prod AIN takove zpravy, ktere nejsou pravdivy, nebo aspon ptedeasny?

Vypacia to, jako by se chtel mstiti."

Zamareila se a zlobne se podivala.

"UblizujeS mu a marne se domnivaS., ze by na nee° takoveho pomYelel. Jeho scleleni jsem vyvolala sama, tazajic se ho, cote na me se obraci, kdy piece jsem se clomnivala, 2e se o tvou prizefi uchazi. A to on rekl, ae ses zadala, jmenoval, komu jsi sve srdce venovala. Bud' bez starosti, ani on, ani ja nebudeme povidat takove vernosti. Dornina znaS, ae nema, s nikYm stykti, a ja, jak vis, nikam nechodim."

"Ostatne, prod bych skrYvala," zvedla pojednou Vera hrde hlavu. "Zaji.ma se BraneckY o me, nejsem vAak dosud rozhodnuta, a kdo vi, rozhodnu-li se. VAe ma sve svetle i stinne stranky, a net to udelam, dobre si vse rozmyslim. Ostatne my jako bychom se hadaly a neni prod," pokraeovala, zadinajic lehkY hovor a usmivajic se rortrZite. "Musim ti blahoptati a yyznati se ti, ze jsem sem vlastne proto, abych te na Domina upozornila.

On je skuteene velikY dobrak, sloe bez vzletu, suchoparnY a stfizlivY, ale jako mua bude dobrY. Va.2 si ho, jiste jim bude vladnouti, jak se ti zachce, a on bude vkly poslanYm mu'Zem." Zasmala se s prichuti pohrdani, ktere sice na okain'2ik vyvolalo u Bohunky syraAterii Bela, potom v§ak se rychle opanoVala a dobromyslne se pousmala.

"NevaMla bych si mu2e, kter3j by se dal oviadati a nebudu nic takove-

V2ST 24 ho zkoukti. Jen at' vladne on, rada budu poslouchat a rada mu pomohu.

Odstehuji se k nemu, a kdyby bylo treba, budu s nim konat povinnosti."

"Prosim te, to by podivne vypadalo, abys delala nejakou Safarku."

"Prod? Doma jsem delala hor'Si prate a byla bych je musila delati po celY zivot, kdyby byl Domin neptiSel. Za praci se styclet nebo ostYchat se, 2e mini pomaham se e.ivit, neni ptielny."

"Kdo vi, bylo-li by to tatinkovi vhod," rekla Vera sure. Byla 10, netrpeliva a nervosno otdeejic hlavu, hledala ptieinu, pro kterou by se mohla vzdaliti."

"To je neco jineho, zeptam se napied pana otce," klidne odpovidala.

Cim rozruSenejSi Vera byla, tim byla Bohunka klidnejAi a jeji srdce se plnilo nevinnou Skodolibosti, ze hrdost ptitelkyne byla Cioteena a ae nevi, jak to projeviti.

"Prod by ses ptala?" rekla, mrzute a skoro Useene. "At' se zepta pan spra y -ce,nboszptamj.OsneijU svobodna a neZ k nam mnoho vody uteee. Ale nechme toho, je to ua nechutne o takove malicherne \reci stale hovotiti. Chtela jsem ti take rid, ae jsem si koupila v Praze novY klobouk, velmi hezkY a vYborne mi Sam pan BraneckY mi pomahal jej koupiti. Prodavaeky v krame—koukaly, kdy2 jsem prisla s takovYm eleganem."

"To vetim, pan BraneckV byl vZdycky jako kavalir," pochvalila Bohunka, bavic se zmatkem Vetinym, kterY, byt' jej skrYvala, piece kaZdYm jejim pohybem a kahlou vetou probleskoval.

"To byl," ptikvS7vIa, vztydujic hrcle hlavu.. "Kdy0. jsme v hotelu spolu weesekali dienici poklony jako panstvu. VYborne jsme se bavili. A jak' byl ke mne pozornY a ne'ZnY! Celou cestu mel starost, abych nenachladla, sviij povoz mi chtel davati a jeate me, kdyz jsem 11'2 v nakm koeare sedela, ukrYval. Rozhodnu-li se prop, to hlavne proto, ze ma Zeny v takove -Clete.
