ALL WE SAY If all that we say in a single day, With never a word left out, Were printed each night in clear black and white, 'Twould prove queer reading, no doubt.

And then, just suppose, ere your eyes we could close, We must read the Whole record through; Then wouldn't we sigh, and wouldn't we try A great deal less talking to do?

And I more than half think that many a kink Would be smoother in life's tangled thread, If half that we say in a single day Were left forever unsaiti.

No. 40, Hillje, in this issue.

School days have arrived and the youth have begun another school year.

No doubt this will be a very busy, fastmoving month, as our young people begin again to adjust to the daily routine of attending classes, doing homework and attending extra-curricular affairs. The school years, both elementary and secondary, are the most important years of a young person's life. So much is to be had by those youngsters who avail themselves of the opportunity to further their education, and " education is most important.

We need men and women th every walk of life to become qualified leaders and instructors. The basic training our youngsters receive in schools today will prepare them for a brighter future in this hard-:working universe.

However, school is only part of the training they will need for their futures. Also clean, wholesome, family living will provide a strong foundation for a secure tomorrow. Along with this, your membership in our Society will give you so much of what is needed to get along with many and varied personalities, to organize and to lead group projects, and to provide a knowledge of solid foundation.

If you are a member of our Society, then why not take advantage of the many opportunities that await you? If you are not an active youth member, start now to become one; also get your friends who are members and get interested in fraternal work and you will never regret it. For information contact your local youth leader or district youth director in your respective district. The SPJST Youth Department has come a long way and still has a long way to go. The adults in our Society are doing more than their part to further your interest, and now you, in turn, must do your part.

Tahuaya, which is a very nice youth camp. There was a nice attendance and a brief meeting was held. "lie most important and necessary business was transacted, so the evening could be devoted to the youth. The meeting was transacted in an orderly fashion which reflects on the chairman. There were .brief and precise reports given. DYE Frankie Klinkovsky gave interesting report on their YAE and attending youth camp, reporting a success for both activities. They have one feature that seems to attract a lot of youngsters, and that is the many games held for the variow ey always generate a lot o!: nod Cunt LIsiasm which coins to be very contagious in this district, too. The rc pt of ale evening was spent watebinp: ale youth swirmnimin hikintn (.! ing games.

A delicious supper ;11 1.6 11; gallons of ice cream were s , aft of us before the eveninn; Iiu h) a close for another SUCCCS8i2U Monday, August 1 — It was a pleasure and privilege to attend the rict VII youth carup4at Val Verde.

Upon our arrival we were greeted by DYE Maxine Pavliska and IVIiss SPJST, Joan Pavliska Stephens, and they led us to the main building where we were introduced and then autographed many shirts, pillow cases, and table cloths for the leaders and. camp friends.

At this time everything came to a hault when Cogie Germer (117) presented a beautiful woodstone ring to DYE Maxine Pavliska which was made

by Polly Bayer (107) and Phyllis Putchis (107).

Then a youth program was presented

by Group I. There were two skits entitled "The Doctor's Office" and "The Wooly Worm" under the direction of Cogie Germer. An acrobatic act was demonstrated under the supervision of Connie Hrncir.

Next was the closing camp ceremonial. App roximately ' /. 2 of the campers marched with a chip of wood to the camp fire, while Sister PdviisM carried a gold chest. 'Then we formed a large circle around the COmp lire while Mr. Bob Bayer (107) and Mr. Curtis Fox (117) were in charge of the fire. Sister Pavliska stepped into the circle and expressed herself with Hs: ;e words, "This year we rft re beO•tilirn; a camp tradition, an eternal camp fire. Each of us wi11 go forward together and make a wish as we add a chip of wood to the camp fire." At this point everyone stepped forward and placed

Wednesday, August '25, 1971 chip of wood on the camp fire. "From this fire," Sister Pavliska continued, "we will fill this gold chest with ashes to be added to next year's camp fire, symbolizing an eternal camp fire."

Then Sister Pavliska asked all the leaders to step forward and she expressed herself with these words, "Without these people working side by side with me our camp could never have been the great camp it has been."

To the youth she stated, "If you campers agree with me, let us hear it."

The campers shouted YEA! YEA! Diane Sralla (147), a camper, stated in her speech, "On this branding iron is the emblem of our SPJST. By branding this block of wood and taking it to our homes, we can show others that we are a part of the SPJST." Then Gary Jones (117) expressed himself in this manner, "The branding iron has become a part of Texas heritage. When this country was first founded, the settlers had no fences and branding was their means of claiming their cattle." At this time Sister Pavliska asked each camper to step forward and help brand a block of wood with the SPJST letters on it, assisted by Bob Bayer and Curtis Fox. While this was in process, Julie Schwartzkopf (40) of District VI; who was a leader-in-training (LIT) led everyone in the magic circle and led us in many folk songs.

Julie was indeed a lot of help in many categories such as leading in singing, dancing, games, archery, etc.

All the leaders praised her assistance.

We must admit that there was no time wasted for the campers to become homesick.

We were happy to get acquainted with the other leaders who were in charge of the following assignments: Connie Hrncir, acrobatics; Joan Stephens, ceramics painting; Susan Pavliska and Jill Pavliska, foil antiquing; Polly Bayer, • wood jewelry; Phyllis Purchis, wood jewelry and crochet rings, Mrs. Lois Pattillo, craft worker; Mrs. Pat Rychetsky, games; Mrs. Cogie Germer, skits; Mrs. Curtis Fox, crafts; Mrs. Tenpenny, and Bob Bayer, exploring, and Curtis Fox, cookouts.

We were advised that the leaders had been shifted around, and sometimes had to fill jobs that arose on a moment's notice; thus they jokingly referred to their supervisor, DYD Maxine Pavliska, as "slave driver!"

Many campers in a certain group enjoyed swimming, and Connie Hrncir certainly did set a good example of

VESTNIK

good sportsmanship as she was clucked and splashed many times and every time she would get out of the pool with a smile.

Before our departure everyone was served refreshments and admired the wood jewelry, crochet coat hangers and ceramics. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the evening and were happy to reminisce our acquaintances with Miss SPJST. To DYD Maxine Pavliska and all her leaders, we owe them a lot of gratitude because many hours were spent for a worthy cause.

good and some bad comes with it, according to .a weatherman's official statement, the South Texas drouth has been broken; in fact, in some places they have had too much rain and it came down too fast and caused flooding damage. A few lives were lost by cars being swept off the road with their occupants in them.

Rumors have it that the rains started when the astronauts took their vacation on the moon, they performed some Indian moon dances, while their buddyastronaut oribited the moon to keep the evil spirits away and when they left the moon and rejoined their buddy astronaut orbited the meen to fore they took off for good old mother earth, they fired a heavy piece of used up equipment (possibly over 6,500 lbs.) back into the moon at over 3,000 miles per hour. Although it struck the moon's surface 600 miles away from a seismograph unit, it caused definite vibrations, indicating that the moon has a hard crust or layer under the soft surface. Rumors further have it that these vibrations also shook up our atmosphere causing the rains to come.

Simple, isn't it? For more accurate data on space or weather call NASA or the weatherman.

ton gown with candlelight lace applique. The maid of honor, Susan Proto and bridesmaids, Mrs. Liz Trotter, Miss Cynthia Stephans, Miss Maxine Holeman and Miss Julia Quick, all wore long gowns of chocolate brown chiffon and candlelight chiffon, (Juliet empire fashion). The flower girl wore candlelight organza over satin. The best man was George Steinman. The reception was held in the SPJST Lodge 88 Chandelier Ballroom. Champagne and other refreshments and dancing were the order of the rest of the evening.

Our SPJST Bazaar or little Las Vegas turned out very good; in fact, beyond all expectations, due to the fact that there were other attractions around town that Sunday, and even some of our own brothers and sisters defected to some other amusements. Yet our attendance was very heavy, proving that Houston and the surrounding territory hold many people that enjoy this type of entertainment. In preparation for this convention fund raising bazaar, there were many workers and donors. Ticket sales started a long time ago for those wonderful prizes that were given away Sunday, August 15th; so whether you sold tickets or bought tickets or donated some item or your service in anyway, you were a idonor and there are too many to thank everyone individually, so I wish to thank all in behalf of Lodge 88, and I wish to say that most of the members took a fraternal approach to this project and 'the result was reflected in the final accomplishment.

I will make one exception in recognizing a general group of donors, however, because they donate something good for all occasions, besides working, and they are the pastry supporters.

This museum is housed in a large new building, built; especially for the museum. Although they have many outstanding displays in the museum, we in our SPjS'Ill museum have the most outstanding medical display of all of them, including the beautiful Witte Museum in San Antonio, and for this we are thankful to Dr. J. J. Shiller, of Rowena, who has made this possible for us.

We have a steady stream of visitors, and have hail visitors from 12 states and two foreign countries, with the state of Minnesota leading them all; for some reason the people of that state are more interested in museums than others. We are very happy to have visitors from anywhere and we assure all our visitors that they will have plenty to see when they visit our own ;:_= U .TST museum, We can still use many more books to be completely filled up in our library which is growing steadily and we hope it will continue to grow. If you have old books, new books, any kind of books we would be very happy to have you donate them to our SPJST Library

where they will be displayed in your name and your donation entered in the golden book. We would also like to call your attention to the fact that these books are loaned to you free for two weeks and longer if you need them, so take advantage of this service and pick out some nice books to read. Our LAM Dept. is open Monday through Friday and any other times by special appointment.

This service is particularly available to our young students whom we are always happy to serve in any way we can. If you have a special problem in your studies, it is possible that we can help you; just call on us.

For our museum we need !h. lot of additional material of every kind, such as photographic equipment, saddlery goods, guns, the old-time stereoscopes, telescopes, watches and old jewelry, hair curling tools and old kitchen gadgets that grandma used to use to prepare those wonderful meals on the old wood stove. If it is small, you can send it by parcel post or h iring it; if it is large, let us know about it before you ship it and we will arrange to get it here. Your gifts will be here advertising your family to thousands of visitors and your name will be entered in the Gold Book where it will remain forever.

I just want to let you know that I will be at the State YAD Royalty Pageant in History at Lodge No. 88 and will be happy to pick up anything that can be hauled in a car. Just bring it with you and this will save you time and money and will be on display in our museum shortly after that. This event will be held Sunday, September 12th, don't forget to bring your donation with you; also any books you might like to donate.

LODGE NO. 28, EAST BERNARD Dear Readers, Hi! Well, this is the beginning of another year of SPJST activities. This year I, Alice Valigura, will be the youth leader of Lodge No. 28, with the assistance of Mrs. Frank Valigura.

The youth officers for 1971-1972 are as follows: President -- Jeanne Hlozek Vice-President — Leon Hlozek Secretary — Billy Hlozek • Treasurer — Kenneth Valigura Reporter — Gregory Valigura Parliamentarian — Jeanette Buxkemper.

The other members of our club are Karen and Donald Buxkemper, Suzanne • Hlozek, John, Joseph, Theresa and Josephine Kelner.

At our last meeting on August 1, the District VI Youth Achievement Day was discussed. Several youth from East Bernard participated this year. This year Leon Hlozek placed first in Hobby Kits, 10-12, and Alice Valigura placed first in Handicraft, 15-17. They will be going to State in Temple on August 22.

Then on August 6, Friday, our youth club had a party. It was held in the SPJST Hall in East Bernard. During the party several different kinds of games were played. Then we had refreshments of hotdogs, cookies chips,

13 candy and soda pop. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

After our meeting in August the youth painted with Tri-Chem paints.

What the youth did not complete in August they will finish at the September 5 meeting. See all of you at the State Youth Achievement Da:7aligura, Youth I,_ :.der --SPJST--LODGE NO. 153, LA SiILLE Dear Readers, At cur meeting for the month, the youth members brought objects from home that they wanted to cover. Our meeting was short and then everyone got busy and went to work covering their "things"' with foil. Since our youth had experience with foil antiquing at camp, the craft for the day was of interest to all. The results were surprising and most pleasing and we wish to thank Mrs. Drastata and Mrs. Hlavaty for helping with the craft and the meeting.

We discussed several summr interests that we wanted to fulfill. One was a trip to Astroworld. Seems the summer has been short and our plans fell a little short of being completed to fill our goal. We certainly aim to do better with cur planning and work things out in ample time, before next summer to where we can get the ball rolling a little faster.

We are looking forward to seeing a lot of our friends at YAD in Temple Sunday. Congratulations to all the winners for I'm sure there will be a lot of happy faces with the rewards they deserve.

Our prayers are for a speedy recovery for Brother Nick Morris.

Martha Sembera, Youth Leader LODGE NO. 48, BEYERSVILLE Dear Friends: We attended the District II fall meeting at Camp Tahuaya Sunday afternoon, August 15.

DANGERS. OF MARISURAA Known to man for nearly 5,000 years marijuana is one of the most common and least understood of all drugs. Most of the American experience 'with marlivana has been limited to the widespread, relativqly infrequent use of fa: rather weak form of the drug. Although the principal active ingredient ill the plant is thought to be a very complex substance known to scionbests as .Delta-9-tetrahydraeannabinol, or THC for short, much remains to be learned about the chemistry of marijuana and related substances.

The Texas health Department, as one of the prime dispensers of information on drugs of abuse in the state, feels that it is time to cut through the volumes of words and contradictions spoken about this (hug, and separate the facts from fiction.

There is general agreement among medical researchers that at the common levels of usage the typical subjective effects of marijuana are: alteration Of time and space praception, sense of euphoria, relaxation, well-being' and disinhibition, dulling of attention, fragmentation of thought, impaired immediate memory, and altered sense of identity, exaggel:ated laughter, and increased suggestibility. Other less common effects are dizziness, a feeling of lightness, .na-uasa, and hunger. • The drug's effects on the emotions and senses vary widely, depending on such factors as the user's expectations, the circumstances of use and, Of course, the strength and quantity of the drug used. : Typically, time is distorted and seems much extended — five minutes may seem like an hour. Space may seem enlarged or otherwise distorted— ten feet may seem to be 100 feet. Sound and colors sometimes seem intensified, and hearing seems keemr. Controlled laboratory tests on humans indicate little or no influence on creativity, one way or another. 1110 distortions of the senses apparOnOy account ',for Hip user's feelings of being more creative.

Recent studies indicate that mari-

Matra has no effect on body temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, or diameter of the pupil.

'Elle drug' does produce, an increase ire the pulse rate and causes a reddening of the eyes at the time of use, and some dehydration.

The drug can produce illusions, or misinterpratations of various sensations. But hallucinations, or the experience of a non-existent sensation, and delusions arc, rare.

All of those mishaps, Yee says; could have been prevented by a little foresight and/or maintenance, The points he. makes are many; we will discuss a few of them here.

The number one cause of trailer illiShapS is time trouble. Make sure your tires are they right size. Often, a boat or tent trailer dealer sells a rig with tires okay for welaitt of the trailer as it leaves his shop, but when you .old an extra ton of t a:J, assorted acca' le g ailci gear, the, tire is CVOrl:C.:)(1.

Mere air will give a tire greater carrying capacity, but the driver runs the risk of a blowout.

The way to avoid all the expense and lost time that results from tire failure is to calculate the weight of your rig when fully loaded, and add a 20-percent safety foActor. Total capacity is the sum total of the capacity of all the tires. Each tire does not have to carry all the weight. If you .1-lave a fiat with a boat and a toosmall jack, you are not licked. Tilt the motor up, ease the hull down and Tell the car slowly forward, pulling the trailer out from under the vessel. Then you can lift up the trailer, cut a tree for a lever if necessary and attack the

The second common .Lrailering hazard is for boatmen only. A. boat trailer's hub (and the be on which tfla axle turns) is the same as that used on you eat. Now y don't you have to keep getting yr at :eh' bearings repacked all the tiro( . ? L, y ae:.;e. you don't keep immersing them in water.

Here's what happens when you do that. As you travel, the bearings get hot (about 120 degrees) and the air within the hub expands, Then you back the hubs into 70-degree water.

Inone. diately the air in the high contracts an.d water is actually suAed into the bearing area. If you never immerse your' hubs, they won't need re-packing. If you do it only rarely your trouble is minimized.

It is important for your boat trailer to suplan't the at the transom..

It dou!n't :natter whether youeuse 0 e mngitudinal beams, positioned lengthwise Gr sidowise, hTilt the weight of the engine should be supported, Oil an outboard you want the support right at 'the. transom, and on a sterndrive, right under the engine.

Whether the trailer needs brakes or not: is defined toy widely varing state laws. The Boating Industry .Association says that if the rig is over 1,500 lbs. it should have brakes. Both electric and hydraulic types have their pros and cons. I'd make the choice on the basic of which system your local dealer is most familiar with. bights are another boat-trailernuisam:0. A situation similar to the hub problem operates. Namely, the light bulb gets hot and is instantly cooled and popped by the water. Remember, if you (MITA submerge . your hubs you won't SU bill erge your lights. IS-at if you have to submerge. your lights, rig a removable light bar and nammt it to the trailer' with a cou ple of brass bolts.

Then splice a - connector (like the one that attaches to the car) into the line.

The bar comes off in a jiffy, and lights keep working.

Lekce Jedenadvacdta — Lesson 21 The Seven Cases — Sedm pada What is a case?

A case is the form which shows the function of a noun, adjective, or pronoun, in the sentence, and its relation to other words in the sentence There are seven such cases in the Czech language.

I. NOMINATIVE, or subject ease: prvhi pad — answers the questions: EDO — who? (is the doer of, or subjected to, some action?); CO — what? (lifeless object or event is something said about?)

Ex: IMO tam chodi? Karel tam jde.

Here Karel is in the nom. case.

Co se tarn deje? Schfize se tam kona.

Here .schrize is in the nom. case.

GENITIVE Case — druhY pad, has a function similar to the English pos•sessive case, (my friend's house, or the Louse of my friend). The genitive has acquired a wide range of meaning besides the basic^ sense of BELONGING. Ii answers the questions: echo? of what?

Avhose?

Ex.: Z Ceho je to qrabene? Ze (zeleza a (.7, litiny, je puCik? Je to p:iCik meho otce.

(Otec, here is in the gen. ease).

3. DATIVE Case — treti pad, is primarily a case of direction marking end or result towards which an act proceeds. It is therefore used after the verbs GIVING, SENDING, SAYING, or WRITING something to someone, It answers the questions KOMU?, to whom? and UEMU?, to what?

Komu pigeg ? Pig !" domu tatinkovi.

(Tatinkovi here is in the dative case).

Ceirm poslouchaS? Poslaucham vysilaci stanici. (Stanici is in the dative case).

4. ACCUSATIVE, or Direct object ease — etv • t:V pad; marks the receiver of the action or the thing acted upon by the subject. It answers the questions: KOHO? !whom?, and CO what?

Ex.: Koho's tarn vide"? Videl jsem tam metro p •itele. (piitele is in the ace,

Ve sti-edu 25. srpna 1.971 case.)

Co tam vidig ? Vidim moji matku. (matku is in the ace. 'ease).

5. VOCATIVE Case pat' pad — is used for addressing or calling to a per'en or thing.

Ex.: Brat •e Novalcu!

(Hee mid! matko ma!

6. LOCATIVE, or prepositional — Ses0;, pad; is always used with prepositions. It cannot stand alone. It expresses position in time or space. It answers the questions KDE? where? 0 kom? About whom? 0 eem? About what?

Ex.: Kde je Marie? Sedi na schodech. (lira schodech is in the loc. cast) O kom mlu yi g ? Mluvim o tetrece. (o tetiece i in the loc. case).

0 eon se jednalo? Jednalo se o raiznj,ch bodech. (o rfiznych bodech is in the loc. ease) 7. INSTRUMENTAL. — sedmY pad — expresses the means, 'way, manner, instrument, or casual condition. It answers the questions (s) lrYm? with Whom?, (s) eim, with what?

Ex.: elm jel do Ameriky? Letel letadlem. (letadlem is in the instr. case).

S 1(Ym jsi letel? Letel jsem se sestrou Aneu. (se setrou Arlen here defines the "manner" in 'Which the eight wag made).

Cim si psal? Pigu tuilrou. :ctistim gaty kartaeem. Jel jsem vlakem. pi•kladern.

Pomahame hladem. Stal se lekafem. Dam byl znieen bombou. Zde to voni rfiemi. Jdete tuto cestou. Zvolili ho predsedou.

All of the above endings are in the Instrumental case.

Assignment Construct a sentence in each of the 7 cases, answering the word functions in each case. Go back to the nominative case, and write sentences answering KDO, and CO?, etc., and then corntinue.

• • Translate the following proverbs: 1. Obecenstvo je easto ai detinske: tieska chvilkoveinu ohriostroji, a kaidodenniho velkolepeho ykehodu slunce si a•i nevgimne.

2. Nejkrasneig i jitro nevrati (inc deSleho. Co uplynulo, se nikdy vie nevrati.

3. Jen sky radosti jsou upiimne.

Na nech pusteho uzemi je nakresleno mesto. NazYva se Jihozapadni ,Mesto a jmeno je dosud jen provizoapi. Ale uz dues zasveeenci vedi, kde v tomto meste budou hotely, kde budou parkoviSte aut, kde budou stanice podzemni drahy, umoZninici rychle a pohodlne spojeni s vlastni Prahou.

MESTO

Na projekt Jihozapadniho Mesta byla v roce 1068 vypsana soutet. Vyhral ji jeden z nejmladSich fieastnika, architekt No Oberstein. NeptiSel s ptevratnou koncepdi. Chce vytvotit mesto, kde by se lide dobte citili, kde by men sve pohodli, kde by v pravem slova smyslu mohli 137-t doma.

Snad proto hraje v jeho projektu takeyou diAlditou ulohu zeleri. Taktka prosttedkem mesta se Potahne centralni park s celou tadou vodnich nadrZ1 a s koupaliStem. Projekt poeita, s az ptekvapive velkYin pootem sportovnich htiSt' a stadionil a ptimo symbolem mesta by se mohly stat oddechove konty s laviekami. To VAak neznamend, ze

by Jihozapaclni Mesto melo byt jen odzou klidu. Mestske centrum bude ttit kultufe a obchodnimu ruchu. Mimo aroveri peSich chodnika bude ktiZnvatka daldite autostrady a o kus naleznete vicepodlaZni parkoviSte. Jeden mestk3i sektor ptipadne v3izkummim astavinn, jinST sektor zase P ramYslovym podnikam, kde ma celkem nalezt zamestnani 15 tisic pracovnika.

Haden' vSak neptedbihame p •iliS do budoucnosti. PravdepodobilS7 zaeatek stavby ptipada, a2 na rok 1977. Mesta pro 85 tisic obyvatel je zatim skuteeri es jen na papite. Na prochazky jeho ulicemi si jeSte musime poekat.

XIV. Proroctvi o snehu se spinilo. Koncem listopadu zavalila obiaka oblohu, prituhlo a dva dni byly vetrne. Potom se vitr utitil a weer meal poletovat snih.

Lesni delnici, vychazejici ze svSrch barakft, mrzute se divali na snih. Dnes meli zadinat novou paseku "Na vYtvratech," kde stal start' les na nejmene prihodnem mist& }Vika stra p se to svahovala k zapadu, misty skalky vykukovaly ze nine a vitr sem mel otevrenou cestu.

ObrovskY kmen, vatici treba nekolik tun, zasahne-li eloyeka, rozmaeka ho, az krev strika a mozek teee.

Na strani "Na vYvratech," kam se delnici seali, byla konana kratka Mirada. Myslivec a dva hajni rozdelovali

VESTNIK jednotlive partie pilam, to jest dvema kteri vtdy spoleene kmeny podrezavali, podsekavali a kaceli. Jindy tvorili pily drevari, jak sami chteotec se synern, soused se sousedem nebo znarni, kteri si na sebe za leta zvykli. Tentokrate bylo treba ueiniti vSdimku. Stark nebo merle obratni cikevari byli ureeni ke kaceni v mistech, kcle nebyla pfula tak prikra, nebo kam vitr tak nedoratel. Z mladtich vybirani ti, kteri all na nejnebezpeene j k misto, na nejprikrejti svah, mezi kameni a skalky, kde noha easto ukluzovala a kde bylo treba nejbystrejti duchapritomnosti a krepkosti.

"Ondrej Aeholik s Tomatem Vaculou," povidal, ukazuje na nejnebezpeenejti misto. 'roma§ Vacula byl o Deco nitti net Ondrej, zavalitY, svalnaty a silu mel jako Ondrej, "Tak pojd', Ondreji," zazubil se a jeho eervena, hladka tvar nejevila strachu.

"Dej, .Onclieji, pozor," zavolal start' ftehokik na syna, kdy2 zaeal sestupovati ke sve partii. "Nezapomeri, ze je dues vitr a ze se drevo rado stoei."

"Ja vim, tatinku, nic se nebojte," odpovidal vesele a pe yne naalapoval, se stupuje bez bazne za s yYm spoleenikern.

Ale f?,horik mel strach. Pies svilj zdanlive drsnY zevnejaek mel syna hluboce rad. Videl v nem sveho dedice jmeni, na ktere po cely svuj tivot do imadu drel, videl v nem nositele sveho jmena, ktery bude po nem hospodariti, aby zase chalupu dreel kehorik, a vial v nem take svou krev. Chlapec, treba nary hubovaval, byl hodny, si vedl, ostudu mu nedelal a byl mu paskou se tenou, se kterou takova, leta. zil. Nic 'tit se nemrzel, ae si oblibil Jikku. V prve dobe ho dopalovalo, 2e si bude brati takovou chudou kostelni myt, ktera svYm venem neprispeje k dovrteni jeho idealu, aby k chalupe pripojilo se nejake pole. Ale reki si, kdy2 prvni naval hnevu pretel, 2e bodna Lena je lepsi net pole, a ostatne on natetril dost, aby si, neztrati-li toho, za aspory pole koupil. Prozatim synovi nerikal nic a jaksi klidne se dival do budoucna.

Zvlatte ode dne, kdy lesmistr tkrotil myslivce a Vitouhovy, byl bezpeenejti, veda, ze neni vydan na milost nemilost nejakeho nephitele. Mel z toho vetgi rado.st, net projevoval. Sice sve protivniky nedraMil, ale jeho rismev, ktery se mu kolem fist objevil, kdyt je potkal, mluvil vie net ohnive

27 red. Myslivec chodil kolem neho, jako by ho nevidel, a enter-li mu new norueiti, c.inil tak prostrednietvim hajnen°. Cela paseka vedela, to to myslivec proti fzehokikovi prohral. Na jedne strane to z yYtilo vatnost Aehoisikovu, na druhe cekali, jak se to jednou skonei. 2e by drevar vyhrtal trvale proti fortovi, bylo nemyslitelno, a proto &kali stale, kdy dojde ke druhe sratce, ye ktere potom se definitivn.e rozhodne, kdo bude vitezem.

Vitoutovi nasledovali prikladu m y -slivcoayhYblisefzhorkvSen.

Strom se cely trese a to je vady °Skilye znameni zaludnosti. Padne na 0paenou stranu a rozmaeka je jako kaBuch, buch, znely Ondrejo yy rany sekerou. Hoch se ani na stranu nedival, zvySo yal rychlost tiderfn aby strom donutil k brzkernu pa.d.u.

"Hahou, pozor!" ozvalo Se v tom od stromu a itehorik videl, ae strom se naklonil. Nekladl se rovnou vzhilru, vitr ho pootoeil trochu napravo, primo tam, kam on sebehl. V tom okamZiku jako by jeho nohy ztrnuly. Vedel, j e zle, ae Musi uskoeiti, ale hned nemohl.

Ztratil otce, kte0 pies sve podivinstvi byl hodnStm otcem a ztratiti matku, bylo by nejstragnejS'im neStestim. Ta bude chudak natikati a plakati! Nic netus otcem se nerozloueila a zpre.va prijde jako blesk z 6ista jasna. Musi zavolati Jitku, aby matku a kdyby snad omdlela, pomohla mu ji Predstavoval si, jakr narek bade v dome. A vSechno se stalo k vuli ne"-; mu, otec ho chtel varovati, nedilveroval mu a zaplatil to 'Zivotem.

Byl na pirl testa, kdy spatril po lesni testa jiti vstric matku. Mela starost, ze dnes, kdy prvS7 den kaceji velke drivi, a k tomu ve snehu, budou zemdleni. Rychle uva •ila nee° tepleho a rozbehla se, aby to °Ulna mlilim donesla. MuZ' bude site bublati, ale bude rad, to u‘Z byl jeho zpilsob, Z"e nikdy neprojevil poteSeni nad Om, co ho uvniti Ted' matka zvedla hiavu spatriv gi Ondreje, zastavila se. Kam ten chlapec bai? Prod' neni v pasece? A je nejak podiviV, ted' si oei 0trel.

Ztrnula v stra glive predtuSe. Ne nadarmo vyrt1stala u lesil a znala zaludnost drevarske prate, ktera, east() mrzaella a zabijela, hlavne opilce, kteri pro zahrati se napili d'abelskeho napoje a potom, ztrativSe rozvahu, propadali firazUm. Ale jeji muit nepil, a stalo1i Se mu neStesti, bylo to neS"testi jiste hrozne.

"Co se stalo?" ptala se, kdyz dochazel k ni, "Tatu potkalo neStesti?"

Nemel odvahy fici ano, slzy mu zase vyhrkly, a pribl giv se k matce, kolem hrdla ji ruku otoeil a privinul se k ni, jako delaval, kdy byl malSim chlapcem.

"Kriste JetiSi!" zastenala a nohy pod ni poklesavaly. "Je nebatikem?"

"Ano," vynutil tUee a cele jeho telo

se traslo vzlykotem. hroznini "Strom ho zabil," klidu.

"Vetev ho uhodila pies hlavu."

"Tata je nebofflkem a ani s bohem jsme si nedali," zaiipela a ted' take ji zatras1 plat. Rozvzlykala se zoutale, k synovi se pritiskla a oba v hroznern hori plakati si v naruei.

"NebohS7 tata, co se nalopotil, a na konec ani doma neum •el," narikala.

"Co se to stalo? Kde lei? Doved' mne k nemu, at' ho vidim."

Jeji natek a slzy byly ventilem, kte*m jeji nervy si uleheily. Neomdlela a uz mela starost, jak vSechno pripravit, aby, az totu prinesou, mohla ho cinliti a do rakve pripraviti. Jirka, prebihajici z chleva do svetnice, zaslechla plat a hned pochopila, Ze se stalo neStesti. Nedbajic, Z'e se bude VitouSova hnevati, rozehehla se vstric ehoiikoye, je't vidouc ji, zdaleka po ni name ctevirala.

"School Days, School Days

Goc Old Golden Rule Days" Yes, school days are just around the corner and nearing rapidly, again. Gone are the days when a grade school education was good, but a high school education was better. Then a high school education became a requirement and a college education was better. NOW a college education is a requirement for a better position in life. Have you taken care to assure your youngsters a promising future through higher education?

Why not contact one of our MST life insurance organizers and they will be glad to go into the details of our complete insurance program with you.
