SEPTEMBER 15, 1971

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Monday, A. — STATE ROYALTY WINNERS: State Queen — Pat Parma (130) Duchess — Becki Skrabanek (130) State King Anton Kaluza (6) Duke — Jimmie Uptmore (6) All are from District III. Runners- up: Queen — Sally Sembera (153) Dist.

VI Duchess — Melany Drastata (153) ..

District VI King — Lynn Lesak (88) Dist. V Duke — Jeffrey Elzner (88) Dist. V • • Monday, September 6th (Labor Day) SL President Nick Morris and family visited in West and paid a visit to the print shop and office while enroute to Dallas. Brother Morris stated that he felt good and, of course, weak, which could be seen instantly when he tried to get around. We were glad to see him and glad that he is progressing as well as can be expected. We also wish him, and all others who are ailing, a speedy recovery.

• • Winners of State Membership Contest have been announced by Supreme Lodge Vice President Joe B. Hejny.

They are organizers who through special efforts have placed as winners in their respective districts and will receive an expense paid trip to the Texas Fraternal Congress in Abilene, on October 21st thru 23rd.

LOST GAMES• It would be a great misfortune If a champion ever came Who was so very skillful As to never lose a game.

'Twould ruin one forever If he were not to meet, 'Mid his success and prowess; An occasional defeat.

On life's great course we struggle.

The trophy is the same — Success. But he who enters Will sometimes lose a game.

When, la! the meet is over We reckon gain and cost, Our greatest values may be The games that we have lost.

—Clarence Edwin Flynn in "The Lookout."

Another year has almost passed and we know that the organizers who didn't win will remain loyal to our Society in the future as they have in the past years.

• • On page 5 are pictures of four winners in the recent insurance sales contest. SL . President Joe B. Hejny reports a total of over 3 million dollars worth Of insurance was sold in this short period. Congratulations.

• We all know that talk is cheap, if not accompanied by actions. The truth of

this statement is self-eviltient to all.

Now that we have increased the mem:bership of our SPJST, talk must be backed by action and the harder times are, the more action was called for in putting over our membership contest.

Verbal accomplishments were necessary for obtaining a new member, but if we don't show action in getting to a new member, of what use is all the oratory one could possess? Talk is of no avail unless accompanied by actual deeds and encouraging a new member to become active. It took steady plugging day after day in order to be a winner, visiting homes and bringing the message of true fraternalism to the new member(s) in that home. Action also in holding good meetings, well attended and seeing that the meetings are all interesting and lively, for all work and no play is a little irksome even to the most loyal of us. Action also is necessary on the part of every member in making it their business to see that all new members are properly welcomed and made at home.

Remember that the new member will judge the SPJST and even his future membership may depend on what he hears and sees at his initial attendance at the meeting of the lodge. The new member knows only what has been told him by the person who wrote him up, or what he has heard from others in an indirect way. His first impressions of the lodge gained at his

Lodge meetings at which new members are to be initiated should be thoughtfully conducted and where .available, the local lodge officer should be given this assignment and thus kept busy by having its services requested regularly. It is at such a meeting where the new member(s) can I)/ impressed about the glory of ideal fraternalism and instilling in them the desire to do what they can to further the work of the SPJST, to help build its membership, to stand ready at ail times to help a member, in distress. A. member impressed this way cannot help but be an asset to the SPJST and will count as a real gain in our Society.

The fail season is with us again. It is one of the most enjoyable, and most beautiful seasons of the year. Nature becomes more , beautiful as the foliage changes to its autumn colors. It is the time of year that hunters talk about and dream about. Fishing is good and the weather becomes ideal.

This is the time of the year to enjoy the outdoors %Nall Mother Nature dressed in her most colorful wardrobe.

Generally speaking, vacation time is about ended for the majority of us.

As we swing into the fall season we are reminded that now is the time for increased lodge activities.

There are many forms of entertainment suitable for the enjoyment of your members, such as movies of summer trips taken by members of your lodge, the story of the big one that got away. In various lodges committees have been appointed to arrange the program of the month.

If we schedule our meetings so that they may be conducted in an efficient business-like manner and provide satisfying social activities, it is only reasonable to assume that our lodge attendance will increase.

Fraternal action stems from the members themselves, and if the lodge is held in high regard in our communities it is because the members in the corporate activities, have earned

Wednesday, September 15, 1971 the respect of their fellowmen.

Whenever lodges of the SPJST have risen to a need, have undertaken a necessary job, the Society has gained in strength and prestige from their efforts.

Whenever our members have demonstrated by their actions that our Society stands for the steadfast and upright way of life, we have gained respect and have drawn new members, who have been attracted by these qualities.

As a starter for our fall activities some lodges may hold a bring-yourfamily-to-the-meeting night, thereby enabling the members to share their 'fraternal and social experiences with other members of their families.

We hope that such a family night will be spontaneous and open a new path into our lodge halls to fill those vacant chairs on lodge nights. b J.

He really was surprised, too!

There was a full ball of happy wishers to wish him a happy birthday, complete with a birthday cake and plenty of delicious food accompanied the wonderful music of the Pavelka Orchestra.

Guests came from Floresville, Tynan, Beeville, Odem, Taft, Fort Worth, Arlington, Wichita Falls, Houston, Cibolo, Alice, Corpus Christi, and Robstown. A wonderful time was had by all who were there and this is one birthday that George will always remember.

He has played with the Pavelka Orchestra for 29 years and is the manager of several years. He plays the saxophone. Many readers have heard the orchestra's music and know them.

Brother Pavelka has been an active SPJST member for more than 33 years and he is currently serving his 18th

W. E. Macek, maintenance foreman N,Oin 111 0 Texas Highway Department t Eden, has been selected to represent the 13-county area of Dist.

7 in competition for the Lady Bird Johnson Award for highway beautification.

Mts. Lyndon B. Johnson establishled the $1,500 award last year for outstanding work in the beautification of Texas highways.

The Dist. 7 area is headquartered in San Angelo. according to J. A. Snell, district engineer.

Selection of the winner will be made by the Texas Highway Department and Texas A&M University. The university has arranged for a committee to make final selection of the award winner.

Presentation will be made at the Lyndon B. Johnson Park early this fall.

The selection committee consists of Elo J. Urbanovsky, professor at Texas Tech University and chairman of the committee Ed Harte, publisher of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times; Roy White of Austin; Dr. Donovan Correll of Renner; and Mrs. J. Lee Johnson III of Fort Worth.

A letter from Snell nominating Macek said he "has worked diligently during his tenure as maintenance supervisor at Eden to preserve native growth and wild flowers."

The letter also made note of Macek's 'extra effort in care for rights of way, planting of trees and flowers and extra care in keeping rest areas neat and attractive.

"Mr. Macek has always planned his Operations to insure that litter is kept cleaned from the right of way, that mowing is performed as needed and litter barrels are never overflowing," the letter said.

Wednesday, September 15, 1971 "It is very apparent while driving the highways in the Eden area that a little more care has certainly been given to the rights of way," Snell said.

Dear Members, Our regular meeting was held last Sunday, September 5. Brother Frank Soukup presided.

The attendance was rather small, but this was expected due to the Labor Day weekend holiday, and the picnics.

The minutes were read by Brother Cocek and were approved as read.

Brother Mazanec read the secretary's and treasurer's reports, showing a nice gain.

Brother Mazanec received 43 premium dividend refund checks; some of them were mailed out and some were given out personally.

Twelve new large ceramic top tables were added to our hall, and the next order of business will be to buy more chairs which are badly needed, and since our hall has been enlarged, such items as more tables and chairs are needed, to accommodate the public. A motion was made and seconded to buy a deepfry for the kitchen; this will be a big help to those who work-in the kitchen.

Oftentimes many activities or functions that are being held in our hall are not published in the Vestnik Calendar by request of those who have private parties. Our hall is available for any kind of activity; Brother Ernest Zahirniak is the one to contact for renting our hall, for showers, weddings, reunions and private parties.

9 Palo Alto, Calif., 94301 August 24, 1971 Mr. Rudy Sefcik, Editor, The Vestnik, Box 85, West, Texas 76891 Dear Brother Rudy: From time to time we enjoy the timely poems you so aptly choose for the front page of the Vestnik, even as we do the other articles also. The Czech Sonnet in the issue of June 23 prompts my sending you the enclosed poem.

Some years ago, when we were on a business assignment in Germany, we drove through what is known as the Boehmische Wald (the Cech Forest) to the village of Bayerisch-Eisenstenl, on the border between Ceskoslovensk4 and Germany. We chose this particular point, which was an important railroad junction on this border, because just a few kilometers in the interior, in the hills lies the village of Klatovy where I was born.

It hurts to be able to almost see this town (which, of course, was physically impossible) and not be able to cross over and drive there, which would have taken only a matter of a few minutes. From these emotions was the attached poem inspired. The abrupt physical division between the East and West is fully as graphic as the Berlin Wail. We found that people come here to look and stare and grieve, even as we did on that afternoon in early October.

Perhaps this poem may be useful to you for the Vestnik. I desire to retain the rights to include it in a book of poetry on which I am working.

Fraternally yours, Frank Kurz, Member, Lodge 83, Houston BORDER REFLECTIONS AT BAYERISCH-EISENSTEIN

I looked across this border yesterday!

Death seemed to lurk in ,every wooded shade.

'The road is blocked, no more a travelled way; The boarded windows, silent homes now frayed; The railway station sealed in two and barred, And half now hid by earth's quite careless yield; While yet beyond, on never ceasing ;guard.

Charged wires astride a barren death-mined field.

VESTNIK

10 Life stirred so full right to this boundary To make that eerie silence more intense; And many people came and stared `. With me Into that emptiness beyond.

A sense Of somber anger showed in every face That tyrants yet can subjugate a race. e, The village far beyond looks much like this No doubt, with homes and people, yards and flowers; And children playing yet in childish bliss Are unaware Of tyrants' stealthy powers.

You skylarks, circling free, sing loud your song!

Get through to wearied hearts in melody The message that the spirit must live strong

In spite of tyrants' might or will, — not die.

Kind heavenly stars, shine on this folk by night!

Be yours the ray of hope that they can see Over all walls that tyrants dare to build.

We, too, may hope: so long as tyrants fight Against the Truth we know that makes men free, — For Heaven wills this Truth will not be stilled.

—F. Kurz 10-10-63.

--SPJST(Editor's note: The following was submitted by Brother Adolf Sabrsula of the S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home No. II in Needville. This poem was written by his grandson, Sgt. Wilbert Kalina, Sr. of Vietnam. Brother Sabrsula enclosed the poem and writes the information below.)

"THOUGHTS"

I am a soldier In far away lands I carry a rifle Arid a Bible in my hand, I'll ask a question With sorrow in my heart "Does my God love me, Even with blood on my hands?"

Why must it be?

How shall it end?

Please end my troubles, And take me from this land!

God help me now

In this troubled land.

Give my soiled fingers a chance To grasp Your outstretched hand.

—Sgt. Wilbert Kalina, Vietnam (As appeared in the Journal, Boling, Texas).

Dear Brother Editor, Some time ago Sgt. Kalina was injured and sent to a hospital when the North Vietnamese shot a rocket into the base where he was stationed. A door hit him on the head and he was unconscious for a length of time.

Many of us often wonder why it must be, but in God's creation there always was bloodshed for freedom and soul salvation.

Sometimes a person wonders why it js so, but it must come to pass; Christ said so. Why no one knows, except God in heaven. He has same reason for it.

Sgt. Kalina has a wife, Beth, a daughter, Fiffony, a son, Wilbert W., Jr., residing in Boling; parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Kalina in New Gulf; grandmother, Millie Kalina, in Smithand grandfather, Adolf Sabrsula in the Rest Home at Needville.

SOME THOUGHTS ON POVERTY

by Robert M. Miller, DVM

(From: "Veterinary Medicine/Small Animal Clinician", June, 1971).

The United States of America is an imperfect nation. That it has many faults I admit freely. But I am tired of hearing Americans broadcast those faults while failing to extoll (or even appreciate) the virtues of this nation.

Every undesirable event and every objectionable quality we possess is exaggerated and magnified — by our press, by members of our government, and by our citizenry.

Poverty is an excellent example. In recent years we have been flagellating ourselves with our "shameful poverty rate." We are constantly being told to despise ourselves because 10 per cent of our populace fall into the poverty class. It's time somebody stood up and set the record straight. Although this coluilin reaches only a few Of my fellow Americans, it's my column and I'm going to use it to say something good about America.

No sane person condones poverty.

The plight of Appalachia, our ghetto dwellers, and our other pcor is tragic, undesirable and detrimental to all of us. But, let's be honest about our poverty statistics!

The 10 percent poverty rate of this nation in the year 1971 is one of our proudest accomplishments. Only 20,000,000 out of 200,000,000? What was the poverty rate a century ago? Ours was a nation of poor people. This land was settled by the poorest of the poor from all over the world. How many of those who came to the New World had wealth? One out of hundreds?

Who are Americans? Where did we come from? Have we forgotten our miserable origins? First there were the native Indians, members of a primitive society (by our standards). Then came the conquistadores, and for every knight there were a hundred underpaid peons.

Wednesday, September 15, 197/

•

Who else came here?

Our pilgrim fathers. Peasants from the feudal states of all Europe.

Slaves, in chains, from the plains and jungles of Africa. Run-away seamen.

The disinherited, disowned and hisguested. Soldiers of fortune. Those escaping imprisonment or the noose.

Hordes of Irish peasants, so poor that .a potato crop failure meant death by starvation. Millions.of paupers from the arid farmlands of Sicily . and Italy.

Millions of Jews from Eastern Europe, crammed into the holds of leaking ships like so many cattle, escaping thousands of years of drifting and persecution. Shiploads of Chinese coolies, working like oxen for a few pennies a day. Millions came here, to toil in the city sweat shops, to strike out across a savage wilderness, to build sod houses and farm virgin soil, to Carve a nation where there was nothing, to found the most magnificent country the earth has ever known.

It was not the first-generation Americans who cursed this country.

They came with no guarantees, and most of them with no assets save the determination and fortitude born of desperation. No, it is their descendants —two, three, four and more generations later — who revile our nation.

And many of these descendants are from our enormously preponderant mid affluent middle class.

If, in the course of a century or two, we have transformed a predominantly poor population into a predominantly wealthy nation, what will another century bring?

Remember that "poverty" is a matter of semantics. The poor AMerican, suffering along on a starchy diet and driVing a beat-up old car, would be iminensely wealthy to millions of people in this world who are actually starving to death.

VtSTNIK revile his country — then that man is poor beyond reprieve.

13 LODGE NO. 8'I, DALLAS Dear Readers, Well it is time for school to start once again, but before we get into the mad rush of school let's think back about the good time we had enjoyed this summer.

First, we all enjoyed attending and participating in the many activities held by the couple.i running for king and queen. The couples, of course, being Lloyd Baker and Cindy Becan and Paul Pokladnik and Sharon Mandak.

Then, on July 17th, the 15th Annual Princess Ball was held. We had many of our past kings and queens .tresent and I was glad to see you. I !do hope to see you again next year. Then the exciting moment came when Lloyd Baker and Cindy Becan were crowned ;king and queen for 1971-72, and Paul Pokladnik and Sharon Mandak were named runners-up.

Then on to the Rocking L Dude Ranch for a weekend Of rain-filled fun.

Then, to top things ofd, on August 1st we headed for Camp Val Verde.

We all learned what we can do and enjoy when the weather is bad.

Our youth club had the soda pop stand at the Fireman's Barbecue, which was held on September 5th at the Dime Box SPJST Hall. There was a variety of games to play for entertainment. There was a battle dance at night. The music was by Krenek and His Orchestra of Wallis and the Moonlighters of Rosenberg. I was happy to see and talk to Mr. and Mrs. Buel Matthews of Fort Worth at the barbecue. They are real nice people and I hope they come back to see us soon.

While all applicants must have at least a high school education, Executive Director James U. Crass pointed out that obviously those men with advanced education would have an edge over those with only the minimum requirements.

Other requirements are 20-40 vision correctable to 20-20 and height at least five feet, eight inches with weight no more than three pounds per inch and no less than two pounds per inch of height. Trainees must also accept positions in any part of the State upon graduation from the five-month program.

BOAT OWNERS TO FIND REGISTRATION CHANGES Boat owners registering their craft this year will find some changes in the law.

For one thing, all water crafte powered by any sort of machinery must now be registered with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Even if the machinery is not the principal source of propulsion, the boat must still be registered.

Changes in the Texas Water Safety Act went into effect Sept 1, 1971, and applications for renewals and original certificates of number may be awarded beginning Jan. 1, 1972.

New registrations will be good for two years from the date of issuance.

The department is also shifting to a staggered system of renewals. All renewal notices will be sent out at the same time, but different registrations will expire at different times, and the registration rates will be prorated accordingly.

The new Certificate of Number will be a plastic card which can be carried in the boat owner's wallet. Two decals in the shape of the state come with each Certificate of Number and are color coded with expiration dates marked on the face. They are to be placed on a line even with and three inches aft of the registration numbers on the boat.

An across-the-board increase of $3 in registration fees for all boats also goes into effect Jan. 1, 1972.

New rates for registration are: Up

VESTNIK ta 16 feet, $6 16 to 26 feet, $9; 26 to 40 feet, $12, and over 40 feet, $15.

RADIO FREQNENCY HELPS DISTRESSED BOATERS Boaters on the high seas now have an extra margin of safety.

The U. S. Coast Guard has begun extensive development of short range coastal radio monitoring facilities.

The new network is designed to provide coastal coverage for the VHFFM distress frequency (Channel 16) for up to 20 miles.

In addition to extending its shortbased radio facilities, the Coast Guard says it has plans to equip its rescue aircraft with marine band VHF-FM radios and direction finders. Wide area coverage will then be available to assist in locating distressed craft.

The Coast Guard says these changes should greatly improve maritime safety in coastal areas and eliminate much of the congestion in the 2 IIMz band by ensuring that short range communications do not tie up long range frequencies.

NEW G.M.O. SCHOOL CADETS SELECTED A new class of 25 cadets has been selected to attend the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's game management officer academy at Texas A&M University.

The 25 successful applicants passed intensive tests and met exacting requirements before being accepted for the school beginning the first week of September.

STATE DOVE DISTRIBUTION UNUSUAL THIS SEASON An unusual mourning dove distribution pattern materialized the first of September as hunters took to the field for the start of dove season in Texas' North Zone.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department field personnel indicated that the extreme eastern and western portions of the state have unusually good dove populations, while many of the traditionally better hunting areas in the central third of the state are slightly below par.

The piney woods area of East Texas may have its best season in years, ap-

Wednesday, September 15, 19711 parently because there were fewer heavy rains to disrupt nesting. Deep East Texas is not usually considered as good for dove production as the farm and ranch land through the state's midsection.

In the far west, where dove populations are usually spi:ad, field reports indicate sizeable flocks where food is available. Heavy concentrations have been noted on the South Plains, 'DunsPecos, and along the Rio Grande downstream from El Paso. The Permian Basin area also has some good populations.

Hunters are advised, however, that the far ,western dove populations have a way of disappearing practically overnight into Mexico. Hunters are advised to get into the field early in the season, because the evacuation might be complete by the season's second week.

There is one wedge-shaped area of Central and North ,Xeritral Texas which traditionally has good clove bunting -- and this season probably will be no exception. This area is roughly bounded on the north by Wichita Falls, Abilene and Fort Worth, and it stretches south to near Austin.

Officials suspect that the overall dove population may be down slightly this year, although it is practically impossible to determine at this time. Last season, hunters bagged approximately 9,000,000 birds. This was a rather low figure but due more to bad weather and low hunter 'participation than a lack of birds.

There were heavy rains over much of the North Zone on opening day in 1970, and it rained over much of the South Zone on the first two weekends of that season. Hunter surveys indicate that many shooters who have an unsuccessful first day decline to go out again until the next year.

The mourning dove season for the North Zone is Sept. 1 through Oct. 30.

South Zone is Sept. 25 through Nov. 23, except in those counties having a white-winged dove season. In these counties, the season is Sept. 4 and 5; Sept. 11 and 12, and Sept. 25 through Nov. 19. Daily bag limit is 10, possession limit 20 for both species. The shooting hours are from 12 noon to sunset.

They may denote various relations of place: Ex.: zde,fSi, mashy, denni, nocm, zimni, y eeerni, etc.

An adjective may be used in two ways: 1) attributively, closely linked with the noun it qualifies. Ex.: krasna zahrada: zdrav elovek; 2) as part of the predicate (verb) Ex.: to zahrada je krasna; ten Moi& je In the attributive use, the adjective has a hard, long form. krasn-t krisre-• (fern.) kra.sn-E (neut.) or — "soft" ending for all 3 genders, such as in jarni, letni, etc.

The most widely-used short adjectives are: zdrav, nemocen, hotov, spokojen, jist, laskav, schopen. They are used to complement (aid) certain verbs. Ex.: byl vesel, smuten, spokojen, gt'asten; teitil se zdrav; zustal svoboden.

ArnoLt PospiLil KILOMETRY METRA Samortejme se jedna o praiske metro a to, ze mtiZeme v titulku psat o kilometrech a ne o metrech, jak tomu bylo jeAte nedavno, naplriuje kaZdeho PraIdka velkou pYchou.

Ptesne 45 let, slovy etyticet pet let. By], to profesor V. List a inZenYr Belada, kteti v rode 1926 ptinesli prvni naert pralsire podzemni drahy. Vychazeli tenkrat z toho, ze metro bude mit tti

V2STNfK hlavni trate, ktere se budou ktiZovat ye tiech mistech a tvotit tzv. trojehelnik. Je zajimave, ze u tohoto trojehelnikoveho teSeni zirstali rirakticky vLichni dalSi navrhovatele. Jen pro zajimavost: y letech 1929 — 30 vypsaly Elektricke podniky hlavniho mesta Prahy soutei o navrh podzemni draby (cent' byly udeleny 8kodovSun zavodum. OKD a int'. dr. Voigstovi), v rode 1939 se objevily dokonce dva navrhy (ElektrickYch podnikti a Konsorcia pro projekt podzemni drahy v Praze), o rok pozdeji navrh Pralske planovaci komise, zadatkem let padesatYch se zrodil navrh kolektivu Dopravniho podniku, uprostted let padesatYch navrh kolektivu inZenYre. HoreLovskeho, Jirsaka, Streita a Thote a z konce let padesatYch a zadatku let Ledesatych je navrh systemu podpovrchove tramvaje.

Cele romany by se daly napsat o historii navrhil pratske podzemni draby a o torn poslednim zvlaLt'. Ten se toti2 zadal i realizovat a dalo velmi mnoho prate lidem rozumnym a zasvecenYm, aby jej zvratili a probojovali konedne /ptimou stavbu metra.

Mezi nimi byl i nestor navrhit pralske podzemni dopravy profesor List, autor onoho prvniho projektu z roku 1926.

Ve svem odbornem posudku ze zati 1966 napsal: "Projekt pralskm podzemni tramvaje je nepodatena kopie podzemnich tramvaji, ktere se po II. svetove valce postavily ye Stuttgartu a Diisseldorfu a stavi se Ve Frankfurtu a Hannoveru. NaLim projektantem vgak uLlo, 'ze je to vesmes ve mestech po povalednern bombardovani zcela moderne ptestavenYch se LirokYmi, dlouhYrni a ptimYmi tfidami, ye kterYch jsou kandly, vodovody, kabely a ostatni technicke site uloleny pod chodniky, take budovani draZnich trub otevtenou rYhou je levne. Projektanti si take nepovLimli, 2e tato mesta, mail na tramvajich daleko Hai frekvenci, nee Praha. ."

Nejvice toti g pobutoval praskou yetejnost fakt, ze cilove teLeni stejne uVaZovalo o metru a ze podpovrchova tramvaj mela bYt jen jakYrnsi dodasnYm teLenim. Meta se budovat (a dokonce uZ se zadala budovat u Narodniho musea a u Hlavniho nadraZi) otevtenYm vYkopem a teprve v roce 1980 melo ptijit na tadu metro.

Pro Prolany bylo toto teLeni naprosto nemyslitelne. Ve sttedu ptepineneho, starobyleho Mesta kopat otevtenYm vYkopem piikopy pro podpovrchovou tramvaj, ktera navic ptene-

25 se vLechny svizele hromadne povrchoye dopravy pod zem a tedy vyteLl jen velmi Indio problemil, to byla perspektiva, s niZ se nemohli smitit. A protote v listopadu 1966 byla mezi vladami CSSR a SSSR uzavtena Mezivlad, ni dohoda o spolupraci pri vYstavbe podzemnich drah v Praze, obratila se deskoslovenska vlada na sovetske experty s Zadosti, aby posoudili teLeni praIske hromadne dopravy. Sve vyjadteni odevzdali sovetLti odbornici 12. dervence 1967. Naprosto jednoznaene se vyslovili pro okamtite budovani metra, pro vyloudeni ptechodne etapy podpovrchove tramvaje a dopcirudili vyniit pri stavbe v nejvetLi =Zile mire raZeni mechanizovanYm a polonechanizovanym gtitem. Jeden z mo%ivu, ktere sovetske' odborniky vedl k tomuto rozhodnuti, byla snaha, aby "... celkova spotteba dasu cestujicich v mestske hromadne doprave veetne peLiho dostupu neptekradovala u vetLiny obyvatel mesta 30 minut pti zachovani dostateeneho pohodli pti doprave." Mute se iici, 'Zoe mluvili z due vLem PraZantn.

Oeskoslovenska, vlada se tint° pro

-blemzayvlnsemzadni9. srpna 1967, udinila rozhodnuti vpravde historicke: "Vlada bere na vedomi," pravi se v nem, "doporudeni sovetske expertizy vyloudit ntechodnou etapu tramvajoveho spojeni v podzemi v centru mesta a ptistoupit bezprosttedne k vybudovani metra jako ciloveho teseni dopravniho systemu s tim, .2e I. etapa metra bude vybudovana a provozovana nejpozdeji do roku 1978."

DluZno poznamenat, ze jak vypada situace dnes, v roce 1971, za sedm let nebude prvni etapa metra hoteva. Nicmerle — v roce 1974 bude jiZ v provozu prvni esek trati C, vedouci z Pankrace na Florenc a protot'e se ja zaeina pracovat na ptipravnYch pracich trasi A, ktera povede z Vinohrad do Dejvic a odderpa velke procento hromadne dopravy z centru mesta, nejevi se situace nijak dem& Naopak. IvIis•o toho, aby se v roce 1980 zadalo praske metro teprve realizovat, jak navrhovali zastanci podpovrchove tramvaje, budou v to dobe ji2 v provozu dve delelite linky metra a bude se pracovat na tteti.

Mnoho, ptemnoho se da, napsat a konec koncri se ji2 napsalo o praIskem metru. Budeme se k nemu vracet 1 AT naLem easopise. Nebot', jak je znamo ze vLech most, v nichZ se metro neni nikdy definitivne dokondene. Me-

26 sto je LivY organismus, neustale se vyviji, doprava jeho obyvatel se musi stale yylepkwat. Pritom plany praZskeho metra nejsou zrovna nejmenSi. Po dokoneeni tii zekladnich tras (dye jsme jiZ jmenovali a treti povede ze Smichova do Vysoban), se budou trasy stale priblirovaL k okrajovym sidliStim Prahy. UvaLuje se i o etvrte trase, ktera by vedla pies Nave Mesto a Karlovo namesti a v techto souvislostech se hovori o roce clva tisice, jako by ur byl nibede clvermi. Ale vrat'me se radeji do soueasnosti, neb to praivame a to nas nejvice zajima.

Rozhodne neni prehnane konstatovani, ze prace na trace C jsou v plnem proudu. Kardou chvili oslavuji ti, kteri se na stavbe pralskeho metra podileji, malou, nicmene yYznamnou a. dillelitou "rodinnou" slavnost. Napriklad zaeatkem Cervna ukoneila parta razieti VojenskYch staveb, vedena MikulaSem Litvakem, proraLku jednoho ze dvou tunelti, ktere vedou od Narodniho musea k Nuselskemu mostu.

Druhy tunel bude dokoneen asi v prosinci; to lir bude Idtvalcova, parta pracovat na trase A.

Byla hubena, ale jeji telo neslo stopy bYvale stieriosti. I ona mela bilou, jeji ruce byly pine a nartilo y ele, pouze jeji fradra byla uvadld.

Bolest zkhivila jeji rysy, oei se ji zamlily, hlava in prsfun klesla, ale potorn si oCi otrela, vlasy rozpustila a doeedei in Lampe zhasla svetlo. Na pee vylezla a prikryvei se zavrela oei. eVnku hvizdal vitr, Zenouci snih do oken, a meluzina, v plonte zpivala svou divokou pisen.
