;NA g E S. P. J. S. T. V ROKU 1972 ALY, asi tkiletty chlaPeeek vykradoval si smele a berstarostne M po hladke javorove podlaze v sini jednoho tadu SPJST: Bavil se svym nenucenYm zpilsobem. Bylo na nem videti, ze byl ve svem detskem, pohklkovein svete.

Slalom starSich lidi pozorovaia se zajrnem volne chovani chlapeeka. Jeden z dospelYch prohodil: "Take je elenem nageho kadu. KdoS vi bude-li miti zajem o tad a o Jednotu, al mu bude pet a dvacet."

Ostatni se pousmali. Asi tti zachytili nit rozhovoru. "Kdo2, vi, jaka bude nage Jednota, bude sedurdesat pet rokii stars? KdcA vi, jake to veechno bude v roku 1972."

"Vite, kamaradi," navazuje v tomteZ tOnu jinY starei Olen, "ze si ani nepomyslime na podobne veci? My u tadu nestarame se o budoucnost. Jeete tak o blizkou budoucnost se dovedeme zajimati. Ale jaka bude budoucnost u nageho tadu nebo u nag Jednoty za deset nebo dvacet rokii, nad tim se Zadny z nag nezamysli."

"Ale meli bychom," poznamenal jeden mlady Olen. "Podivejte se na toho maleho chlapce. Dnes je v Detskem Odboru.

MoZna, Se ma dvacetiletou nadaeni pojistku. Bude mu tti a dvacet nebo etyti a dvacet, kdy2" jeho certifikat bride vyplacenY. Jednota bude existovati zrovna tak clobte jako existuje dnes. Ale bude nae tad existovati za dvacet rokil? Nebo bude se tento chlapec zajimati o spolkovou mistnost? Bylo by zajimave, kdybychom na to mohli dati odpoved'."

Tako urditi, do jake miry mel pravdu oven bratr, ktery kekl, Se "my u kadu nestarame se o budoucnost." Snad nee° pravdy bychom na gli v jeho slovech, kdy'Z bychom se nad celkovYm stavem veci u nekterYch tadii zamyslili. Jsou snad hektere tady, kde o budoucnosti se neuvaiuje. Neni snad ani dosti elent u nektereho ta.du, by dovedli uvalovati 0 ptitomnosti.

Pisatel si vzpomina prase na jednu

a

malou episodku, kdyZ jeete byl svobodnYm mladikem a bydlel s rodiei na farm& Otec ptivez1 jednou odnekud malt' ket, pry vzacnost. Ket si nasadil v rohu zahradky. OpatroVal svou vzacnost, saleval ji, ale vzacnost vzdor yeekere peel jen krnela a nerostla. Pti gla potadna. zima.

Otec se staral, zdali jeho ket zimu ptedrNa jake veechno bylo ji2 v pinem 'rozpuku, jen ket neukazoval Zadnou znamku Zivota. Zkoueel ulomiti vreek vetvieky.

Week byl suchy. Vzal MA a uteza.1 kousek po kousku. Nekolik coulir nad zemi vetvieky ukazovaly jakYsi Zivot. Nu, snad z koiene to znovu yypuei.

Otec opatroval stoji vzacnost takovymto zpfrsobem tti roky, aS korieene na radu matky — ket byl vykopan. Otec mudroval, ze asi Vida, nebo podnebi, nebo hmyz v zemi, nebo nejaka nakaza zavinily pozvolne chtadnuti.

Porovnejme si tuto episodku se zalolenim nektereho domaciho tadu SPJST. Jeden nebo dva nebo i vice nadeenYch krajanti pojalo myelenku zasaditi v jejich okoli takovY vzacnY kei, Sedm novYch se naelo a ostatni piestoupili od jineho tadu. Byly nejlepei Umysly, a stavaly nejrtZovejel nadeje.

NovY tad nejaky eas dr2e1 se pH 2ivotu.

Nerostl, jen krnel. Pak ptiela, prvni pohroma: ze dvou hlavnich vedoucich jeden zemtel a druhy se odstehoval ji110,111. Ostatni bud' nemeli zruenosti nebo byli pohodlni. 1L ad ptestal rUsti a dosud krni, z polovice Zivy, z polovice suchY. U podobneho tadu snad je hodne pravdy ye slovech, ze o budoucnost tadu se nikdo nestara. A myslite, Se u sousedniho tadu maji jaky zajem stran budoucnosti jinYch bratrskYch tadtii? Navetevuji se vzajemne jako jedna velika rodina? Kdepak, spige se povaZuji za konkurenty..

A co sjezdy — vykonaly nekdy nee° pro vzrust a budoucnost malYch tadii?

Pouze jedenkrate, roku 1932, byl na sjezdu podan navrh, aby male tady, ktere nedosahly poetu 25 elenti, pracovaly pro svuj vzrust, hledely zesiliti a pamatovaly na svou budoucnost, a a2 malt' tad zmo-

hutni na 25 elenir, aby teprve dostal pravo voliti sveho vlastniho delegata do sjez du. Navrh ov gem neproeel. Zustait ■ je stavem, coZ znamenalo, Se deset tteba na z'aloleni noveho tadu, ale pak netieba Zadneho dal giho opatrovani, netteba pomoci k daleimu vzrustu, a staei, kdyZ tad pomalu odumira, jen kdy2 tarn zustane Best Olenu. Tedy Zadne prostkedky a poladayky ke vzrilstu. At' dtepi rok po roku. Lepe suchY ket neS Sadny.

Otec muj opatroval svou vzacnost tti roky. My opatrujeme nektert naSe Lady jiz dvacet rokil a snad i dele. 0 budoucnost sveho tadu se dovedeme zajimati, ale o budoucnost cele Jednoty se radio starame. Co bude za rok, za dva, to rids snad jeSte zajima, ale co bude za deset a za dvacet rokti, nad tim se SadriSr nezamysli.

A piece musime se vratiti k tonu malernu chlapeekovi, ktery je take elenem Jednoty a ktery bude elenem Jednoty jcSte 1 za dvacet rokil Po nem ptijdou jcho mladSi sourozenci jeSte nenarozeni — a ti rovneZ budou eleny Jednoty za dvacet, za tticet Nedavno fitednikci SPJST obnovili statni vYsadu (charter) na daleich padesat mkt'. Sotva ktery z nich doSije se polovice teto nove lhuty. Piijdou jini a novi tednici. Planujeme pro budoucnost? Planujeme pro ty, kteti ptijdou Po rids?

Pted tticeti a etyticeti lety smele a berstarostne jsme klouzali po hladke podlaze v nove sini domaciho kadu. Byli jsme detmi, Sill jsme ye svern pohadkovem svete. Dries jsme jiz valnymi mu& Dnes naSi vnuci klouzaji po nove podiaze. Neni to vSak podlaha v na gi sini. NaSe sin jiz stoji ptes tticet rokt podlaha ji2 neni na klouzani. Podlaha i sin by pottebovaly opravy, lee my jsme jiS pkestali mysleti dva,cet rokti doptedu.

Natikame, Se na g spolkovy Sivot upada.

Nemame prava natikati. Je to naee vlastni vina, Se jsme nechali rozeititi nakaziti se nejhorei spolkovou nemoci, ktera, je velice chytlava lhostejnosti.

Nak povinnosti je, abychom ka2de male ditko hledeli ptihlasiti za 'Mena SPJST. Pojistky pro . ditky jsou nejen levne, ale takoveho druhu, ze lepAi za ty penize nedostanete jinde. Jsou ty nak deti noSi nadeji v ka2de domacnosti, a jsou naafi nadeji i u ka2deho tadu. Hled'te k tomu, aby podet elenti Detskeho Odboru u yakho tadu ptevykval podet dospelYch. Ne(elate to jen pro dobro SPJST, ale pro dobro sve vlastni. Chrarite svoje deti, aby nebyly finanene zkraceny, a2 toho budou nutne potiebovati. Zaenete Aettiti pro ne pokud jsou mlade a poplatky na Uspory jsou pomerne nizke.

"Tyhle kluby mladeze, ktere minite zakladat, mohou pracovati velice dobte ye yetgich mestech," usuzoval neda yno jeden dobry spolkovy pracovnik. Ale pronesl pochybnost, 2e kiuby mladde by se osvedeily rovnou merou na venkove, kde mlade2 nema tolik ptilaitosti ku shroma2d'ovani. Oim dole jsem o slovech onoho bratra ptemY glel, tim vice jsem pfichazel k nahledu, ze vetAina &elan asi nema, 2adnou ureitou ptedstavu, co takovY "klub mladek" nebo "krou2ek omladiny" dokak. Mimodek vzpominam si na dorost u radu Ennis eislo 25. Byl jsem jen jednou na jejich programu, na Den Matek, 8. kvetna 1949. Dva roky jiz uplynuly a dosud rad vzpominam na celY program jako viditelnY clUkaz a znazorneni, jak nak rady mohou rristi. Byla to osla-

VESTN1K— WEST, TEXAS va Dne Matek, ale bylo to zaroveri svedectvi, 2e tamnejai "Sbor Mladek" dokak riditi cely program. A take cely program byl jejich. Kdy2 tadovY ptedseda, bratr Vrla, byl po2adan, aby zahajil program syYm proslovem, on docela diplomaticky ustoupil se slovy: "Je to va„S program, Yak oslava Dne matek, vy to dokakte s lenSim pochopenim a citem ne2 jd. Go right ahead." S temito slovy dodal tadovy ptedseda detem nejen odvahy, ale ten volnou ruku. Stali a zkuknost ustoupila a udelala misto pro mladi. Stark elenoye pouze pomahali, kde bylo tfeba, lee jinak cely program byl v rukou mladek.

A2 jednou dojde na distriktni schfizi v okoli Ennis nebo Dallas, Sbor Mlade2e od radu eislo 25 zajiste ptedvede novou ukazku, jak mladi elenove dovedou se ye spolkovem tivote pohybovat.

Jinou ukazku detskeho programu vide jsem nekdy na zaeatku druhe svetove valky v male venkovske osade zvane Eastgate, kde mlacie2 radu Liberty Oslo 136 mela svilj program. Bylo to letni dobou, kdy politieti kandidati Mad' sve kampanni proslovy. Napred byl detsky program, ktery v nieem si nezadal detskYm programfim mestskYch deti. Program vedl atihly mladik yysokeho vzrilstu, o nem2 dalo se souditi, ze jeste povyroste o nekolik coati.. Po prograrnu ptedstavoyal rrizne politicks kandidaty, na,pked anglicky, pak aesky. Mezi kandidaty byl jeden, ktery se jmenoval Allan Shivers a bael za statniho senatora. Jiny kandidat se jmenoval Price Daniels. Nevim, jak nou je dnes mlade2 radu Liberty eislo 136, ale onen mladik se do spolkoveho vota dosti hezky v2i1. Kdy2 pied nejakkmi osmna.cti mesici byli jsme v fikadovne guvernera Shiverse v Austinu, poznai Shivers onoho mladika, vzpomnel si, jak byl od mladika ptedstavo yan eeskYm farmatfn v Liberty okresu eesky i anglicky a pamatoval si i mladikovo Palen° — Rudy 8efeik.

NovodobYch teehnickYch vynalezii a vymoknosti se nyni pou2ive, pii vkch drile2itYch schfizich, konferencich a sjezdech. Dnes ka2de slovo pronesene ye sjezdu mute bYti zachyceno rekordovacim ptistrojem, take neni pochybnosti, co kdo tekne nebo jak se vyjadruje. Snad tato poznamka je trochu ptedeasna, ale nekdy nektera nova mySlenka se pomalu ujima. Redaktor jednou pou2i1 jeho rekordovaciho ptistroje pri slavnosti v Seaton, kde zachytil proslov zesnuleho bratra Moneky, ten proslov ptedsedy Marka a pravnika Ka,cite.

Mali byehom si zavesti rubriku v naaem o starch elenech, hlayne takovYch, kteti sveho easu byli einnymi tadovYmi fitedniky. Mali bychom takovym elenum dati trochu uznani jeate za, 2iy a a nikoliv a2 po smrti. Chteli bychom

SLrana 3 vSem tern starYm Clenrim udelati trochu radosti, ale je k tomu tteba pomoci a dobre vale od naaich dopisovatelfi.

Bratrsky spolek nesouci nazev Jednota Syna Italie v America — Order Sons of Italy in America — stavi pro italske dal siroteinec, kterY bude yystaven nakladem vice ne2 jeden milion dolaru. Naklad s postavenim siroteince bride financovan dobrovolnymi sbirkami. Dle zpravy, ktera byla neda yno v dennim tisku, kampari je velice slibna a je nadeje, k pottebnY obnos bude sebran ne2 siroteinec bude dohotoven. A jaky kontrast je to v porovIrani se zpravou, ktera kdysi byla otisknuta ve Vestniku a znela: "V zati roku 1920 tad daroval na postaveni eeskeho siroteince 25 dolart, ale 7. zati roku 1934 byl tento obnos nakmu "radu vrac.n."

Mame radost, kdy rostou bratrske fady. A meli bychom miti radost i tenkrate, kdy jsou ty tady line bratrske jednoty.

Jenk nekdy zalokni novYch facia od jine bratrske organisace je znamkou nak vlastni slabosti nebo liknavosti. Kdysi jsme meli v Rosenberg dva tady SPJST, eislo 108 a 159. Dnes tarn jsou ten rim fady, ale pouze jeden, 'Oslo 108, je tad SPJ ST. Ten druhy se nazYva Lope Star eislo 409 ZCBJ. V Grayson okresu mama pomerne mladY tad Tioga eislo 5, kterY vita 75 Mena. Neda yno byl tam zalo2en jests dalai tad, Grayson Oslo 414 ZO BJ. Nadi v San Antonio se eini, ale piece byl tam zorganisovan tad Alamo ZOBJ. Po techto ptigly tti dalk tady, v Temple, ye West a v Cameron. Celkovy sta y elanstva ZOBJ v Texasu eini nee° pies 1,200 Mena. Jak jiz teeeno, z teto prace srneinjici ku zakladani novYch bratrskYch tadfi mall bychom miti radost, ba mall bychom k ni dokonce gratulovati jell kdyby to nebylo tak pokorujici a zahanbujici pro nas samotne, 2e nedovcdeme posbirati zrale ovoce pod svYmi vlastnimi stromy. A neomlouvejme svou lenivost, Le to byly padavky. To bylo dobre a zdrave ovoce.

OznamOrani nak SPJST fuze bYti dvoji: jedno oznamovani je ptimo eleny a deje se z dobre yule. Takove oznamovani se provadelo Ma yne v zadatcich Jednoty, kdy elenove zvali a ziskavali dalSi nova eleny do svYch iadu. Nyni takovemu oznamovani tikame "dobra, povest" nebo "dobre jmeno". DruhY zpirsob oznamovani je pomoci placcnYch obchodnich oznamek v jinYch novinach krome nakho vlastniho organu, v mesienicich, v pamatnicich, v kalendatich, anebo prostkednictvim rozhlasu. Obyeejne kaada, organisace povoluje na oznamovani jistY rani obnos. U naafi Jednoty nemame Zadny rozpoeet, a proto oznamovani se povoli dle nutnosti nebo nahody. nth-a co jino, deska bratrska organisace ma rozhlakrosove oznamovani pies pet stanic

*rasa me Texasu — my oznamovaci kampani jsme dosud nevenovali mnoho pozornosti.

Zatim co jine spolky tvrdi, Ze oznamovani v rozhlase se jim vyplaci, my dosud jsme se podobneho oznamovani zdrZeli.

Snad s tim oznamovanim v rozhlase je tomu podobne jako se statnim organisatorem • nevyplaci se to, protoe toho neni.

Zajitnave je porovnani a statistika o pheinach smrti mezi na gimi eleny. Nedavno bratr Marek, ptedseda Hlavni ntadovny, uvetejnil podobne Cislice za poslednich nekolik roku. Wive to delaval zesnuly bratr Kubena, kterY pti kaldem z cltivei gich sjezdir podal vYkaz, jake byly pheiny smrti nagich elenn. Posledni nemYlim-li se takovY vYkaz byl poda.n v Schulenburgu roku 1920. Pak bylo upugteno od podavani zprav o prieinach aZ kdy se konal sjezd v Taylor, kdy Dr. Jos. Kopeck', hlavni lekat Jednoty, znovu later:11°2H statistiku Pak zase nepodavaly se dal gi zpravy, ptedseda Marek uznal nutnost nebo pottebu poulcazati na zmeny pridin smrti lidstva nynej gi doby v porovnani s dobou minulou. Wive to byly souchote, zapal plic a ne gtovice, ktere byly nejvetgimi ubijedi lidstva. Dnes nmrti od zapalu pile pokleslo, zato ümrti od srdeeni vady a rakoviny stale stoupa. Snad i drive bylo dosti Umrti od rakoviny, jenZe rozpoznani nemoci nebylo tenkrate tak ptesne. Umrti od srdeeni vady je stale na postupu.

Asi e ijeme jinak ne Z nagi ptedkove. 2ijeme piing rychle. Dne gni elovek prohje v tYcinu vice dojmu a zalitkir neZ jeho ptecikove za pul roku.

V jecine einske provincii eurn sem, Gum tam, meli vladu, ktera se skladala z dvanacti mudrcii, ne sekretatir, jako my mame. Jenom Ze z tech dvanacti mudren byl jeden talc ospalY, Ze IcaZde schCzi spal.

Jednou jmenovand vlada byla ye finanoni tIsni a neveclela, jak potfebne penize sehnat. Dane byly talc velke, Ze si rnudrci nevedeli rady. Proto se tech dvanact mudrcir se glo, aby jednali o torn, ;lake dal gi dane moZno zavest. Ten dvanftcty mudrc klidne spal, nevedel, o co se jedna. "Nakonec byl probuzen a bylo mu tedeno: "Kamaracie, porad' main, potte bujem penize, jake dane mame za,vest."

OspalY mudrc odpovedel: "Zaved'te clari ze zlociejstvi" a upadl v novY spanek.

Tak hned staveli kriminaly, sudni budovy, najiniali policajty a souVe a kdyZ byl celY soudni aparat hotov, tak to zaho. No jo, PO-licajti chytili na ulici nejakeho gupaka, povalovade, ptedvedli ho pied soudce. Co v gak mel s nim soudce delat, kdyZ Supak nemel centu v kapse, aby zaplatil ntraty. Zavtit ho, to by znamenalo Zivit ho na sve atraty. Proto je soudce gmahem propougtel.

Dari sice byla, ale ptijmy Zadne; 1-To se proste do diry. Proto mudrcove se znovu segli a ten dvanacty zase spal. Jednali o torn, Ze ptijem neni ZadnY, naopak velke vydani. Proto byl znovu probuzen spiel mudrc a dotazovan: "Kamar:ide, prodelavame, porad' 'ram!" OspalY mudrc odpovedel: "Zaved'te dan z poctivosti." Tak die navrhu dan z poctivosti byla vypsana.

Nejvetgi zloclejove chteji bYt pied svetern poctivi, tak platili clobrovolne dan z poctivosti. Primo se ptedhaneli. Kdo dal vetgi dan ne2 druhY, byl poctivejgi.

Stalo se jednou, Ze v obchode byli dva iitednici se stejnYm platem a tu ptal se jeden druheho: "Mnoho-li zaplati g dane z poctivosti?" Tazany odpoveclel: "Stovku!" Ten prvy chtel byt poctivej gi, talc dal stovky dye.

Tak Sc zloclejcve pteplaceli, Ze mudrcka vlada vgechny dluhy zaplatila a je gte mela poklaclny pine penez.

Na to mudrcove zase rneli schnzi, ten dvanacty ale zase spal. Byl probuzen a tedeno mu: "Kamarade, to je penez, to je penez, podivej se!" OspalY mudrc jim odpovedel: "No, to je ta clan ze zloclejstvi!

Nejvetgi zlodejove plati y am nejvice, chteji bYt poctivi."

Ano, 1 zde jest hodne lidi, kteti by meli platit dan z poctivosti. )• *

Pia-W NAM?: SCHUZE JSOU SLAKE NAVSTEVOVANE. West, Texas.

Mame mnoho vyinluv, prod nemame vetSi navkevy v naSich radovYch schtizich.

Zde reknu nem co se snad nebude mnohemu radovemu irredniku libiti, udela to moZna hodne protestn, ale Sikne se to jako pest na oko.

Nak schttze jsou suche, nezajimave, a eteni protokolu nebo podavani vYborovYch zprav jsou ty nejhlavnejk body. Takova schtze mute byti ukoneena v patnacti minutach. JenZe nekteri naSi bratri mluvi a mluvi, jini pri torn podrimuji, a predsedove zase si mysli, 2e by to nebyla Zadna schilze, kdyby se to hodne neprotahlo at do omrzeni.

Jestli naSe schtize jsou slabe navStevoyane, je to vina vedoucich u kaaleho domaciho radu. Kdyby se nak schtize uMaly zajimavejSimi, kdyby se pridalo do schuze trochu spoleeenskeho chovani a besedovani, nate schtize by nejen otiviy, ale Mena by zaealo pribYvati.

Melounove svaeiny v torrito roonirn Case by privabily dosti liknavYch Menu, a nemuly by schtize byti zrovna v sini, ale nekde v prirode a treba celodenni pobaveni nekde v prijemnem venkovskem okoli, na btehu reky, rybnika a podobne. MoZno brati ten pohyblive obrazky, ktere mesic pozdeji by rnohly byti za yhodne prile2itosti a s novYm programem ukazany vSem pritomnYrn. Jen2e aby se tyto pldny yydarily, radovi irtednici museji jiti prikladem, Snad

U radu Jaro se podobna einnost osvedeila. Nate schtize jsou vtdy poeetne navStiveny, malokdy mame mono net sto elentt, a co hlavniho je, 2e mlacle2 v naSich schtizich je lope zastoupena net ti stark.

OvSem, nektere rady nemaji sve sine, ale podobne schtize se daji poradati letnim Case v prirode. Nejsme piece tadnYrn tajnYm spolkem, tak nemusirne bYt zavreni mezi etyrmi stenami a pri dvojite strati. Vice spoleeenskeho tivota je nam zapotrebi nade vtecko.

E VZPOMINk;Y Tam jsem uviclela sveho priStiho dru ha po druhe. Hral Prokopa. Divila jsem se tomu, jak je to inc2no, closti teekou Ulohn tak phrozene sehrati. Pozcleji jsem zveciela, ze ji2 v aechech s bratrem a sestrou hravali divadlo.

Tou clobou se v Praze, v Texas, 6astO hravalo, bylo tam closti potrebnYch sil a proto jsem se pcdivila, kdy2, jednou priSti druh k nem s dotazem, zdali bych chtela vypomoci, Ze chteli hrati divadlo, Ze jim chybi jedna hereeka a tedy . . . Nemela jsem chuti, vymlouvala jsem se, 2e jsem nikdy jeSte nehrala a nevim, jestli bych to clovedla a Ze bych jim to treba zkazila.

Nechtel se vSak nechat odbyt,ze je to jen malieka lehka aloha, jen abych to Zkusila, Ze na ni nemchu nic zkazit.

Pak jsem ji2 hravala closti easto a yetSi iilohy, jako v "Nalezenci" Karolinku, v "Divce z Podskali" Emilii a j. v.

V "Nalezenci" s nami neinkoval te2 znamY novinat Hugo Chotek v uloze plukovnika "Rimini".

Jednou jsme dostali dosti zajimavou nevStevu. Byl to 'SvarnY rytir. Byl to stark ji2 mladenec a "velice velmi" moudrY; byl to nevlastni bratranek maminein. Takto zkuknosti mel pry mnoho. ztravil nekolik roku v Uhrach, net ho zimnice odtamtud vyhnala.

Kdy.2, nas vSechny svymi rozumy bavil, strhl se na dvore poplach: slepice krieely a plaSili se a tu otec vedel hned, co to znamend. Popadl puSku, kterou mel v2dy po ruse, vybehl ven a ji2 zahoukla rana; bratranek vyskoeil take ven a u2 ho bylo slySet: "Ale to je peknY pteeek" a hnal se k jestrabovi, kterY se zlamanYm kridlem po dvore se zmital a neZ otec mohl zvolat: "Nesahej na nej," u2 ho dr2e1 jestrab za pales. Vykrikl, trepal rukon, druhou rukou snaZil se dravce adtrhnout, ale nic naplat; teprve kdy2 otec priskoeil a jestrabovu hlavu odrizl nolern teprvepak a jate ne snadno se padafilo zobak rozevrit. Stare porekadlo je, kdy2 chytrak udela hloupost, ta Ze za to stoji!

Pri tech divadlech jsme se s Tonikem spolu lope seznamovali a po dvou letech pole.clal rodiee, aby. mu mne dali za nu. Svolili, pcnevad2 mezi tim jej poznali co poradneho mlacieho mule, teZ jeho rodiee, bratra a seStru. Jen jedna vec mamince vrtala hlavou, .2e on neni tak pobo2nY, jako any jsme byli, ale fiteSovala se tim, kdy2 ja jsem tak 'Aisne po katolicku vychovand, 2e jej privedu na pravou cestu.

2. ledna roku 1883 jsme se nechali svazat. Ph naSi svatbe jsme sobe mobil zazpivat:"Zenil se chudy s chudou, jak spolu Zivi budou?"

Mtizj mantel narodil se v Hermanicich

(Napsala Marie Kulhankova elenka iidan Svatopluk eislo 132) u LanAlumina, v (lechach 27. zari 1353.

Jeho rodiee byli Josef a Marie Kulhankovi.otec byl krejei; teZ i jeho bratr Josef. Anton byl vytieeny tkadlec. M611 syrij domek a dosti dobre se jim vedlo, avSak starcst, 2e synove budou muset na vojnu, primela je k vystehovani se, co2 se stalo roku 187G. Oba hoSi i jejich sestra ji2 v aechach hrevali divadla a detail to rad', tedy se prielnili o zaloleni divadelniho spolku v Praze. Tonik byl dusi spolku a tak si jej zvolili reditelem.

Prvni rok jsme hospodarili u jeho rodiet.'" Pak jsme si kcupili malou farmieku od pana ueitele Pe'Ska. Byl to ten samY pen, ku kteremu jsem si chodila vyptijeovat knihy a kterY byl manZelovY pritelem. Jednou jsem se Tonika ptala, jak pri gel na mySlenku, Ze bych mohla einkovat pri divadle, kciy2 nine ani neznal? Tehdy mi povedel, jak se to stab; ph rczmluve s p. PeSkem, kciy2 hovorili o knihach, pan Pekk se zminil, jak se pcdivil, kdy2 jemu nezname devee Sio s prosbou o zaptifeeni knih, v poradku je vratilo a prosilo o jine. A 2e on byl tez, takovY etener, tedy si pral tu etenarku poznat a 2e jsem do ZadnYch zabav nechodila, kde by se rnehl se mnou seznamit, a tak mu ta mySlenka napadla, 2e tak by to mo2na ho.

Knihy to tedy byly, ktere umoZnily moje seznameni s dobrYm elovekem, jakych na svete mnoho neni.

Fred vanocemi se nam narodila deerka Marenka, za dva roky synek Tonik a za dalSi dva roky Jaroslay.

Brzy na to bratr Ferdik pri lire v info zlamal si nohu. Trvalo dlcuho, neZli byla noha zahojena, a pak, kdy2 mel za to, 2e noha jest ji2 v poredku, sednul na kone, aby je zavedl k potoku napojit; pri tom spadl s kone a noha byla zase ye dvi a pak jiZ to nebylo k vyleeeni. Lekari chteli nohu uriznout, on nesvolil, Ze s uriznutou nohou nechce Zit, radeji zemrit, a ubolak pak brzy take zemrel.

V roku 1884 radila v okoli Prahy Banda zlodejit a jeSte hor gich vyVrhelit. Zlodeji kradli hovezi dobytek i kone, odvedli je kdovi kam a jejich majitel je u2 nikdy neuvidel. Koneene si tcho Urady povSimly a tak ,kdo si prat, mohl si nechat kone pojistit; kfiri byl na Urade &bre popsan, na skrani mu yypalena Utedni znamka a poplatek za registrovani byl $1. Z tech koni se pak u2 ani jeden neztratil.

Tehdy ji2 osada si vymohla poAtu, Jeji jmeno bylo Praha. PoStmistrem byla sleona I. Knakova, dcera mistniho obchodnika. Jednou k yeeeru prepadli banditi obchod pana KneZka, chtejice vykrast penize hanky; dcera KneZkova byla

Lituji, Ze ykchny zapisky shorely, tedy tvrdit Ito nemohu, ale mam za to, 2e hned v prvnim sjezdu byl mantel zvoleh tajemnikem V. R. Tento Urad zastaval 9.2 do smrti.

Tehdy jeho pheinenim byl zalo2en etenarskY spolek v Praze, jmenem "Svojan".

V teto chvili vpadl do naprosteho ticha ulice navy zvuk tryskem ujialejicich koni; mladik rychle zahnul se svYm uricenYrn konem do fizke, stinne ulieky a seskoeil. Byl tam Zlab pro kone. Nechal kone trochu se napit, pak mu Wel hlavu a nchy hrsti mokre travy, divaje se, jak po hlavni tride jede nova hlidka kopinikti. I Zelena dama se na ne divala.

Ve stinnem malem salonu sedelo maneke devedtko a hralo velice tieno.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR A MEMBER MADE A REMARK the other day that we have too many delegates in our conventions. He was sincere in his opinion that the convention could do far better work with fewer men. No doubt it could be done. The constitution of the United States was drafted by less than fifty men and three of those present refused to sign it after it was completed. But here is another angle to the large number of delegates.

Every one of our conventions invites speakers, mayors, senators, or even governors. Do you want them to come to a convention where there is only two handfuls of people? They would think, "This SPJST organization doesn't amount to much", and you couldn't blame them. Any active lodge should be entitled to a full share of its delegates: one delegate for every active lodge strictly adhering to the By-laws, and one additional delegate for every additional one hundred members. Those that are dormant, inactive, don't meet every month, don't show any gain in membership year after year, they should be managed according Article 11-a and 11-b If you wish to have fewer delegates but of the better type, enforce Article 11 and you accomplish your purpose where quality but not quantity will count. ) • 4 • A SUGGESTION WAS MADE in the last issue of the Vestnik—in the Czech section—that in order to expedite the business of the convention a committee on daily order, or committee on the Rules and Order of Business for the convention be appointed in time to prepare the rules ahead of the actual opening of the convention. It seems to be an excellent idea.

HERE IS A FOOD FOR THOUGHT which not only shows that our SPJST is gaining in the right kind_of reputation, but it also calls for additional planning and action. A letter was received by your editor which is a thoughtprovoking: "Dear Editor—If possible, will you kindly send me data on life insurance offered by the SPJST? I am traveling for a Houston gas company which I recently joined and I am in need of insurance.

My brother-in-law, C... H. .., is member of SPJST. I shall be grateful for any information you may give me. Yours very truly, — —." 0 course, the information was sent to the interested person, explaining that he would have to apply for membership in the community where he is personally known and that the SPJST is a fraternal organization which stresses the social features nearly as much as the insurance features, and where the members can obtain life insurance protection for the lowest possible cost. The idea back of this inquiry is that probably we could have a better working machinery or at least some practical procedure to take care of cases like this one. Any commercial insurance company would immediately contact its local representative to instruct him what to do and how to sign up the new applicant. )

•

THE MOUNTING COST of our conventions should be given some serious thought by every sincere member. The convention at Temple, for example, where we had 149 lodges represented, was held at the cost of little over $6,000. The cost of convention at Fort Worth with •4• f 141 lodges represented—fifteen lodges SOCIAL CONTACT AND ASSOCIA- were net represented—cost us $22,550.00.

This is to compel with the request of Brother Marek, iftesident of the Supreme Lodge. The matter was brought up at the regular monthly meeting of Pokrok Houston Lodge, held on the second Monday in July, and the plan was tentatively approved to get together with Stefanik Lodge and work out the details. It is expected that nearly twenty neighboring lodges from six counties will be particliating in this meeting. Personal invitations will be sent to all the officers of the twenty lodges. Watch the Vestnik for further ancuncements. ) • 4 • ( ITALIAN MEMORIAL ORMIANGE is being erected by the Order Sons of Italy in America. The orphange is expected to cost at least one million dollars when completed. The members of the fraternal order Sons of Iitaly consider it their duty to put forth every possible effort to collect that one million by free contributions. In promoting such a project, the men in charge of it point out that the orphange will be a worthy nimument of the societyls fraternal functions and expansions. By erecting and completing the orphange the order hopes to be placed as one of the leading national fraternal organizations in America. )• • THE WAY OUR PRESENT BY-LAWS are worded, the only people who are eligi• ble as social members are those who have applied for insurance, but failed to pass . the medical examination. Does it mean that the SPJST has to spend money for a doctor's fee to admit a social member?

And while we are discussing Article 143 of the By-laws, why not make the Czech , text correspond with the English. or vice versa?

SHERIFF LANE AND HIS MACHINE A number of our SPJST members are law-enforcing officers. As much as we respect all of them, Brother Lane, sheriff of Wharton County, takes the lead among all of them. He is one of the very few officers who use psychology instead of rubber hose to make the guilty confess their crimes.

Brother Lane has a machine called a "lie detector." He has already demonstrated it to many of our SPJST members. He gave a demonstration of what he can do with the machine before our members in Hillje last spring. The second Sunday in July, he came to the hall of Karel Jonas Lodge No. 28 to give our members a demonstration after the regular meeting was over.

The many new devices which the law officers—like Brother Lane—are using these days are tougher that the third degree of the old days. Recently, the Kiwanis Magazine had an article which interestingly explains how Brother Lane and other officers like him compel the guilty confess their offenses against society. The article, written by Will Ousler, reads as follows: The man in the chair trembled like a little boy. Here, in the police squad room, he remembered the stories of what the cops did to silent suspects. ,}1.'e pictured the beating, the grilling the blinding lights and lack of food and water, as they would try .to force from him the truth--that ten hours before, he had murdered his wife.

He wet his drying lips and trembled.

What this killer actually had to fear was not a rubber hose, or any other physical torture, but the new findings of psycholqgy which have taught police to use tricks of the mind and emotions to get at hidden truth.

He faced a weapon of the law far more formidable than any cop's night-stick. Brawn and stamina might hold out against torture, but guilt cannot hide from the modern methods of police science.

In most major cities, in state police departments, and especially in the F.B.I. the third degree is as outmoded as a crystal set, used today .only by a sprinkling of backward officials.

Gone is the torture chamber, the brutal grilling. It has been replaced by relentlessly accurate psychological technique. Modern science, with its new knowledge of the intricasies of the criminal mind, has revolutionized American law enforcement.

This murderer found the detectives friendly, willing for him. to smoke, put

his feet up, relax. Over a container of coffee, he began to talk to them with complete self-assurance.

Glibly he recited his alibi. The detectives sipped their coffee, changed the subject. What did he think of the Yankees?

He tried to get back to his story. He'd been driving around town.. .

One detective leaned back in his chair amiably, asked if he'd seen the fire on Forsyth Street while driving around.

The murderer nodded. Sure, he said, when the fire tied up traffic, he'd gotten out of his car to watch.

A grim stare replaced the officer's smile. "There was no fire last night."

The snare had been sprung. The "location trick," now one of the most useful of the psychological traps, had caught the man in the meshes of his own alibi.

The old third-degree, with its medieval barbarity of torture—beatings, kickings, starvation--was a black scandal in America. The third degree was often wasted effort. Suspects talked—but their statements would not hold up in court.

The courts know that if you beat a man long enough, he will say anything to gain a minute's peace. To protect the innocent, the courts barred any confession obtained under duress—a term ranging in interpretation from physical violence to veiled threats. The rubber hose was actually doing criminals more good than harm.

The F. B. I. found the answer. Using every technique of the modern laboratory from diaphanous mirror•windows, to tests of perspiration and blood, from lie detectors to word-association tests, the F. B. I. got their men—without the third degree.

Law enforcement officers across the country watched with growing interest, as case after case stood up in the courts.

Today these new psychological techniques have made American law enforcement the most effective in the world.

Most police today are schooled in psychological research, trained to utilize the personality characleristics of their suspects. Armed with knowledge of the secret workings of the mind, the delicate weights and balances of distorted emotional drives, they adapt their general techniques to the individual at hand.

Take, for example, the lad brought in on suspicion of rifling the purses of women in his apartment house. Detectives checking quickly with police files, neighbors and the regular cops on the beat, built up a picture of the boy's personality.

His parents were seldom home, cared little for each other and less for him.

The boy had gotten into bad company.

Too young to be accepted by the streetcorner gang he admired, he had set out to make them and the rest of the world see that he was someone to be reckoned with. He stole, a little at first, and spent the money on cigarettes which he handed out carelessly on the corner. Later the boy had been heard talking about buying a hot rod.

Brought before the investigator in the police station, he spieled off an alibi.

The investigator accepted five lying answers. Then he stood up, looked h the boy with contempt, and ordered: "Take that bum away. I don't even want to talk to him. He's wasted enough of my time!"

The boy looked bewildered. A detective led him to another room, gave him a comic book, and went to his own desk.

The boy shifted uneasily on the bench.

The detective continued working. The big clock ticked on. Then the boy cleared his throat.

"I'd—say, I want to talk to that guy.

He's got to liste nto me."

The detective shrugged, opened the door into the other room, spoke to the investigator. Turning back, he said, "He doesn't want to see you."

"He's got to see me."

"He won't. Says he can't be bothered with a liar." The detective leaned forward confidentially. "He meant it. I know that guy. No use trying any phony stuff on him."

Half an hour more of this "cold shoulder" treatment, and the boy begged for a chance to tell 'everything from how he entered the apartments to where the money was hidden.

The investigator had recognized the lad's self--assertive drive, his desire for the spotlight. The third degree would have stiffened the boy's resistance and made him a more determined outlaw. But with a scientific understanding of his personality problem, a cold shoulder treatment had made the boy talk to protect his ego. One more juvenile was eligible for rehabilitation in society— a triumph indeed for modern technique.

Like all psychological methods, the cold shoulder treatment must be varied to fit the personality involved. Manhattan police, confronted with a series of housebreakings, had a team of two suspects—Joe, a tough with a long his(Continued on Page 26)

TI-Ir " GREATEST DREAM-SECURITY If all the men and women in America, in Germany, Italy, China, the whole world, could put into a single word their greatest need, their greatest desire, their greatest dream—that one world would be "security."

After a generation and a half in which the world has fought two wars and is even now beset by terror, famine, cruelty, and suffering it is not surprising that human beings everywhere wish they could wrap themselves in the warm cloak of security.

Even now in our own great country, with all its material prosperity, men and women are crying out that one word— security. But they are crying for security without quite knowing what the word means.

What is security? When is a man secure?

There were times in history when man thought security was a physical thing.

The Chinese believed it was a wall. The French renamed it Maginot Line. Some men today argue' that it is an airplane, a guided missile, a boMb. • History proves that these are not and never were security. These are just thingS behind which men sometimes hide in fear.

NO; security is not a physical object at all.

"Well, then," other men reply, "security is a law. If we could only get a law passed, there would be no more trouble."

Law, indeed! The Medes and Persians passed laWs "which altereth not." Where are the Medes and Persians today?

Where are their laws? No, you can't create security by law, either.

There are other men who say that security is money. "If we only had money, we would have no fear." But money can be lost—and they know it in their hearts.

Inflation lowers its value—and, they fear this, too. No, security is not spelled out in shiny coins. "I know," a voice chimes in. "Security is a' contract; that's what security is."

But whiCh of us can contract to be alive tomorrow morning? How many contracts arc broken? You won't find security in a contract.

Security is none of these things. What, then, is security? Who, then, is secure?

The word itself will tell us what its meaning is. Let us spell it out, letter by letter.

PICNICS WITH POISON Must you learn about poison ivy the hard way? Many do, but it isn't necessary. No doubt thousands will be poisoned by ivy, oak and sumac this sum' mer. The effects will range all the way from mild local irritation to severe systemic illness requiring hospitalization.

But such poisoning is largely preventable, Some five -year-old boys can spot a clump of poison ivy at a stone's throw, and some sportsmen and vacationists appear not to know that such a plant exists.

At any rate, they nonchalently spread their tablecloths cr blankets in luxuriant patches of this verdant deceiver, and munch their sandwiches and pickles in blissful ignorance of those troubled days ahead.

Poison ivy occurs in abundance in almost every part of the United States.

It inhabits woodlands, abandoned fields, fence rows, roadsides, sandy beaches, picnic grounds, camp sites and public parks. It grows both as a climber and as a ground plant, actually a rambler, though the sprouts from one root may look like separate plants.

The common names, "oak" and "ivy", are applied indiscriminately—like most common names for native plants — to all the poison ivy species except the Pacific Coast "poison oak," which is a shrub.

To'recognize poison oak or ivy with ease, remember that the leaves grow in groups of three "leaflets three, let it be!"). Generally the leaflets are sligthly notched, but there is a great range of variation in their size and, shape. Poison sumac, on the other hand, is a shrub ranging from five to 15 feet in height, which bears compound leaves, each possessing even to 13 glossy green leaflets.

Poison ivy, oak and sumac all bear small clusters of green or white, waxy, berrylike fruit, which persist far into the winter. The ripe fruit is rich in fats and lacks the poisonous properties of the leaves ,stems and roots. It is an important item in the winter diet of many birds, including the pheasant.

In the fall both poison ivy and poison_ sumac assume brilliant hues. Their red and gold are unsurpassed by any other native tree or shrub. Here, as in some other areas of experience, beauty is deceptive: The impulsive leaf collector often finds that he has a "problem" on his hands.

Poisoning results from direct contact with these plants. There is scientific evidence that urushiol, the poison contained in the milky juice of these species, is a nonvolatile substance with

some of the chemical properties of rosin and carbolic acid. In pure form the poison is a brownish fluid ,similar in appearance to thick maple syrup, It is insoluble in water, but dissolves in alcohol, gasoline, melted fat or oil.

Many experiments have shown that ivy poisoning is acquired by contact with the plants or with tools, clothing or animals that have been in contact with them. In one instance a susceptible person sat in front of an electric fan before which a large bunch of poison ivy leaves was hung. The air from the fan passed through the leaves before striking the subject, but after many hours of exposure to such treatment he showed no symptoms of poisoning. And yet 1/60,000th of a grain of the poisonous substance in the juice of poison ivy, dissolved in olive oil, causes mild poisoning if rubbed on the skin of a susceptible person.

People who claim that they have been poisoned without touching the plants probably do nct know that handling clothing or objects which have been in contact with poison ivy is risky business for the susceptible. Men have been poisoned by removing their contaminated boots after walking through ivy infested fields, or by handling axes or other tools used in clearing or cultivating fields fields where poison ivy grew. Such objects may retain sufficient poison days after contamination to make trouble for a highly susceptible person. " I once knew an eminent botanist," says Mr. Burroughs, "who was immune to ivy poisoning and who made no attempt to avoid it. On one occasion, after working in a swamp where poison sumac was abundant, he discarded his field cicthes in the basement. Shortly thereafter his wife came down with a severe case of sumac poisoning which confined her to a hospital for a month. She had come in contact in sorting out the family laundry."

Disappointment, Bitterness, Knocking It is nothing unusual to find disappointed members in our lodges. Some of them even develop a good deal of bitterness. There is no need of denying it.

Your editor in his forty-odd years of lodge activities had gone through the stage of acute disapppointrnent and had experienced some bitterness. There is still another degree of behavior which grows out of disappointment and bitterness. It may become a habit—a bad habit, at that—a habit of "knocking."

The "knocker" is often a conscientious person or a lodge member. He /las often developed his-attitude from disappointment and bitterness. He feels that he is being misunderstood, slighted, overlooked, he is not getting proper recognition.

We all know members who are intelligent and likable, but they spoil the smooth running of the things by their habit of "knocking." They carry chips on their shoulders. They constantly point out to the mistakes of the others.

Deep inside him, every "knocker" has a painful feeling that the world does not recognize his talent, experience or knowledge. So he is tempted to adjust himself to this feeling of disappointment by pulling other people down to the level on which he thinks he is placed by others.

Actually, the "knocker" is sometimes a competent and capable worker or a member but he underestimates what others think of him. He is sometimes too sensitive to criticism, and his "knocking", is a method of re-establishing his faith in himself by reducing the importance of the other people or members.

We should not take the "knocker" seriously. In nine cases out of ten he is merely letting off steam, and does not mean all that he says. We can listen sympathetically without committing ourselves one way or the other.

No matter what our motives are, "knocking is the poorest-paid profession in the world. If we can't change the people that bother us, then our best course is to make ourselves so helpful and co-operative that we will increasingly bring out the best in others. We will never have to worry about the worst in others if we sincerely encourage the best in them!

ALWAYS AGREEABLE. Two autoists met in an alley too narrow to permit them to pass each other. One of the autoists rose in the car and shouted: "I never back up for any fool!"

The other driver quickly put his car in reverse, backed out, and said: "That's all right, I always do." ) • 44 • ( ) • At • A MILLION IS A MILLION.—They say the sergeant married her because her CHEAT PROOF. — You can't cheat, uncle left her a million, but he says he'd baking doughnuts.

Houston, Texas Dear Fraternal Family: Hope all of you are finding a coinfortable way of beating this heat as the sun certainly beaming down on us with it's brilliant -rays. Right now I'm pretending to be at the North Pole surrounded with icebergs, polar bears and what have you to keep from suffocating so I can write this delayed report.

Stefanik Lodge celebrated its 32nd AnniverSary the 27th of May. Sisters Janie Kelarek and Mary Chupik supervised the Bingo games in the afternoon and everyone was delighted with the beautiful prizes. Supper was served by Sisters Anna Vaja and Anna Petrzelka. The delicious country smoked sausages, dumplings and kraut were very palatable.

Our Anniversary program began at 7 p. m. to an immense audience, to whom we are very appreciative and thankful.

The program was opened by a welcome speech by our Lodge President, Bro, Alois Vaja in Czech. Yours truly welcomed the audience in English and acted as Mistress of Ceremony.

The Star Spangled Banner was sung by the audience and led by Sister Mary Chupik.

A beautiful piano solo was played by Barbara Jean Ungrad. "Mocking Bird Hill" and "In the Good Old Summer Time" was sung by the Junior Club: Margaret and David Triska, Louise Becan, Dorothy and V'Ann Cooper, Barbara Jean Ungrad and Rarielle and Kay Sur Violin solo by Thalia Stehlik. Encore numbers were "The Emperor's Waltz," and "Beautiful Dreamer." This little lady is certainly becoming recognized in her excellent playing. Best wishes to you, Thalia dear.

A duet harmony by Bro. Alois Vaja and Sister Anna Vaja called "Pisne Dcery Ducha Meho." This was the favorite song. that was sung at the opening celebration of Stefanik Lodge in 1919.

"The Weggis Waltz — a Swiss Folk tune danced by all the Juniors in Czech costumes to the accompaniment of the piano played by Itasca Stehlik.

'Through the Years" a beautiful vocal number by Itasca Stehlik especially dedicated to all Stefanik Charter members.

"PM de j aro, prijde," harmonized by Ranelle and Kay Sturm.

On June 13th, the Fraternal Congress Organization of Motrcton observed a "Flag Day' Program at the Sons of Herman Lodge. The Guest Registrar showed that three hundred persons attended the function, which according to President Leo Anders of the organization, was exceptionally good due to the fact that it was MacArthur's Day in Houston on the same date.

Rex James was master of ceremonies.

Short introductory speeches were made

by Pres. Marek of Supreme Lodge. Judge Casey, Leo Anders and several noted Houstonians. It was a pleasure to see Secretary Chupick of Supreme Lodge there too, as well as President of Pokrok No. 88. Bro. Rudy Sefcik and President of Stefanik no. 142 Brother Alois Vaja..

Oddly enough each local SPJST Lodge president was supported by twenty-five fellow members.

Woodmen of the World drilled with their axes. A very complicated drill but was superbly drilled. This Lodge presented to the Fraternal Congress organi-. zation a beautiful silk American Flag.

The Edelweiss Club was represented by a beautiful drill by a large group of Matrons dressed in pastel colored evening gowns.

The Women's Circle was an enchanting Drill. These ladies also wore beautiful evening dresses and marched in pairs. Each twosome wore identical dresses in different colors.

Lodge Pokrok no. 88 was recognized by the famous Czech Dance, "Beseda."

Three circles participated. Four couples in each circle. The ladies wore flattering evening gowns and the men were immaculately dressed. The dance was excellently done and brought many favorable comments from the audience.

Stefanik Junior League represented Stefanik Lodge no. 142 with a "Flag drill." This drill was instructed by Sister Ann Ward.

Grace Brashear, Margaret Triska, Dorothy Cooper, Louise Becan and Ranelle and Kay Sturm drilled to the accompaniment of the piano by Itasca Stehlik and violin by Thalia Stehlik who played "Halls of Montezuma." Their costumes were designed by Sister Mary Chupik and myself. They wore flag blue pleated short skirts white batiste blouses with military collars and long full sleeves tapered to the wrists.

Itasca and Thalia were also appropriately dressed in red, white and blue and looked very lovely and received a wonderful ovation from the audience and Rex James for their excellent playing and drilling. Stefanik Lodge is most grateful and sincere thanks to these young members in representing us so well.

By the way, folks, there should be a group picture and a picture of lithe Thalia with her violin in this issue:of the Vestnik. We hope you like them.

"STAY PUT" FOR SUCCESS

Your "Sinus" Trouble

(George C. Booth)

You expect your paper to be informative besides being intertaining. If your head is stuffed up and achy, while you read this issue of the Vestnik, you may be far from fully enjoying your reading. You may say that you have "sinus" trouble—so let's talk about what makes your nose so stuffed up that you couldn't smell a medium-sized skunk in a closed room.

If-you really want to succeed as a life insurance man, if you want to make real money, if you want prestige, stay put!

Stay put with the company you now represent. Stay put in the community in which you now live and work. Stay put with the people who know you and trust your Stay put with the policies, plans and programs you now like to sell.

Stay put, and your ultimate success will be greatly more certain than if you float about in a constant dither of change.

All 11 years of my career have been spent with one company and in one community, selling one or two faverite types of policies and working in the main with one class of prospects.

It would be difficult to enumerate all the advantages that result from this continuous association. In the same 11 years that I have known my company, it has known me — tested my loyalty, my industry, and my honesty, and regarded me with an ever-increasing commitment of confidence, responsibility and recompense.

There has been a distinct advantage for me in my community, for my friends have come to identify me with my company, and my company with me. They know my company must be a good one, and that .my company must believe in me.

In my 11 short years, I have seen plenty of the tragedy of those who flounder around in this business.

The story of Joe is typical. Joe came with our company a few years after I first entered the business. He had been with several other companies and also in several other types of work.

Though it looked as if we had found a good man, within a couple of years Joe left to take a contract with another company. In a short time he was back with us again and started out to build a great agency.

But then something went wrong. Joe, all the while he was outlining his plans for greater production and larger agency development, was negotiating with still another company for a contract.

Since then he has made still another connection, and where he will go from here is anybody's guess.

I could cite many other illustrations of drifters and floaters in the insurance business. But their stories are all about the same. Unhappy where they are and with what they have, they are forever changing — and getting nowhere. And they do the business a lot of harm.

Almost as important. as staying put

with your company is staying put in your community.

There was a time not too long ago when I had the naive idea that I must tear around over half the state. Then one day an accident befell me which made that sort of thing impossible any more and forced me to confine my selling efforts strictly to the people in my home town.

What I thought was a tragedy turned out to be a godsend. I learned I could find plenty of good and eager prospects right in my own backyard. So now, as a result, there sits before me a file .containing 1.500 cards representing over $3,000,000 of insurance in force on some 1,200 people, none of whom lives more than a few miles from my door.

Another place where it pays to stay put is with the class of prospects who are easiest to work with. For each one of us, there is an age or an economic or social group with whom we get along more easily than any other group. In my own case, it was young people, and the idea of staying with them as they rose in the world has paid off better than I hoped.

If you have a favorite policy, stay put with that too. Sure, sell everything in the book — but if you like family income better than the rest, stay put with it. The businessman who pushes the one or two items he believes in most is most successful.

Finally, stay put in the business itself. The big men in the life insurance business sell life insurance and nothing else. I once knew a life man who sold plastic wallets and razor blades on side —but never sold much life insurance!

In the last analysis, it's not a matter of picking the best company, or locality, or prospects, or contract. It's a matter of staying put — and doing a better job! s( )• An influential politician was approached by a young lawyer, eager for advancement. Being rather doubtful about the lawyer's integrity, the older man said: "Young man, if you promise me solemly that you will not steal when you get to Austin, I'll do what I can to help you go there."

"Sir," replied the young lawyer, with dignity, "I go to Austin absolutely unpledged, or I don't go at all." ) • 4 • (.

HALF AND HALF—If you are trying to live by your wife—and are making only half a living, there is an obvious conclusion to be drawn.

If you're one of the sufferes, your probably won't be cheered to know that you weren't even born with sinuses. As a baby, you have some tiny slits opening into the nose. By seven or eight, the slits have developed into real holes surrounded by bone. These 'air spaces — the sinuses—exist above, below and behind your eyes.

They helped the lower animals to smell, but the kindest things the medical books can say about human sinuses are that they serve as "additional resonating chambers in the production of sound," and that they lighten the bones in your face.

It's a popular idea that every nasal trouble is sinusitis and that once you'Ve got it, you've had it. But if you're on the border line, don't jump to discouraging conclusions.

First, you may not have real sinusitis at all. A stuffy nose and an aching face may simply mean a prolonged cold, catarrh or a minor irritation of the sinuses, Let a doctor decide.

Second, it is possible to be cured nowadays with the relp of new drugs and modern treatment.

Third, contrary to majority opinion, a damp climate doesn't automatically doom you to sinus troubles. You may live in Arizona and get the ailment if you are predisposed to it and persist, say, in letting your feet get chilled.

What you've got, if you get sinusitis, is an infection in the lining of the sinuses. It happens when an inflammation of the nose or the sinuses stops drainage and blocks the air spaces. Pain comes when the air is shut off and a vacuum is being formed, or when secretion presses against the sinus walls.

There are two kinds of sinusitis: acute and chronic. When you are in the middle of a bad cold and all of a sudden your head hurts like fury, cr you feel as if your teeth were to fall out— that's acute sinusitis and it can't last forever.

The doctor will treat you with mild sprays and drug injections. You'll recover and you Won't necessarily be bothered again.

(Continued from page 20.)

The real trouble maker is the chronic kind. One type is what the doctors call chronic infectious sinusitis, which is con- tracted from frequent bouts with acute usitis, or is the result of diseases in nose or abnormalities. You can even, get it, in the cheek sinuses, from an abScessed tooth.

BUt many specialists now believe that the greatest single cause of chronic sinusitis is some sort of allergy—three to one an allergy to house dust. It can also be pollen, other dustS and occasionally a food.

A few years ago the doctor either repeatedly punctured into the sinuses to drain the air passages or operated to remove diseased tissue. If the patient happened to be an allergy victim, he was usually worse instead of better after the operation.

Now. operations have been largely replaced by local treatment. In some cases, surgery is still necessary, but the new idea is to try not to remove tissue.

If the doctor finds that your condition is due to an allergy, he'll begin a series Of tests and treat you with mild sprays and , antiallergy injections. Once the allergy is found, he'll shoot you with extracts of the hair of the, dog that bit you.

If you've got to live with your sinusitis, tt may as well do the best you can to ociltrol it. Here are some simple warnings: Don't dose yourself with self-preseribod nose drops or sprays.

Don't blow your nose too hard.

DOn't go swimming, and especially don't Clive.

Try not to expose yourself to colds.

Avoid the things that you're allergic i i5 as much as pOssible. ) • els •

tory of police encounters, and Pete, a new hand at the game.

Joe and Pete were placed together in a cell, and left strictly alone for an hour.

Then a cop took Joe upstairs, leaving Pete behind. When he brought Joe back, the policeman shook his head sympathetically at Pete, and patted Joe on the back.

Alone together again, Pete stared at his partner. What had happened upstairs? Joe shrugged. Nothing had happened. They had just let him sit by himself.

An hour later the routine was repeated Again Joe was escorted upstairs, and returned by a smilling cop. Again Joe reported that the hour upstairs had been spent in silence.

Pete pondered the smile on the cop's face. If what Joe said was true, the police had nothing on them. Then what was going in?

Half an hour later, Pete was yelling i for the officer, demanding the right to confess his crimes. No third degree was needed, once the detective in charge had sized up the case in psychological terms.

Pete, caught in his first attempts at law-breaking, scared of arrest, trial and prison, put all his trust in Joe, his teacher in crime. Undermine that trust, plant the idea that Joe had betrayed-him by talking, and Pete's defenses would— and did--topple.

Fear, love, pride, and hate; these four emotions rule most of our lives. The skilled interrogator, probing the depths of personality, plays on these emotions to lead suspects into damaging admissions.

Compulsive criminals--alcoholics, sex offenders, kleptomaniacs—are recognized as the sick men they really are. The old third degree, by intensifying the drives of these men, strengthening their hatred of authority and their desire for revenge against the world, only made them worse problems for society. Modern psychology lays open the path for the treatment and rehabilitation.

Like all good bluffers, the police avoid exposable lies, and rely strongly on the power of suggestion. In Philadelphia last year a man was brought in on suspicion of robbery. The evidence against him was slight, and he staunchly denied any knowledge of the crime.

During the routine questioning the police captain suddenly leaned forward, spoke to the detectives, stared at the suspect, then went to the phone. In the

Police Lieutenant—"I never saw the park . so littered with paper as it is this morning. How do you account for it?"

Sergeant—"The Mayor had leaflets distributed yesterday, asking people not to throw paper about."

"OUT" NUMBERED.—The first grade teacher took one look at Wilmer and knew he was going to give her trouble.

But when she started to explain arithmetic to her class she was pleased to see he was paying close attention. When she had done several problems she asked: "Are there any questions?"

"Yes," said Wilmer. "Where do them little numbers go when you rub them out?"

suspect's hearing he asked for the F. B. I. Before the call hadgone through, the man confessed.What happened? Pure nod calculated bluff. The captain, leaning (orward, had told the detectives this man was not a mere robber, but a : spy, , who knew this particular house belonged to an atomic -physicist.

The burglar knew the penalty for his own crime, but he .couldn't even guess what might happen in a spy trial. .His guilty nerves had warned him: Better tell a straight story than get into a federal investigation.

The subconscious criminal mild, filled with highly charged emotions,'y,explosive symbols-and Lepressed fears, is the greatest ally of the force8 of law.

-Up in Minnesota Mr. Olsen had a cow killed by a railroad train. In due season the Claim agent for the railroad "We understand, of course, that the deceased was a very docile and valuable animal," said the claim agent in his most persuasive 'claim-agentlemanly manner, "and we sympathize with you and your family in your loss. But, Mr. Olsen, you must remember this: Your cow had no business being upon our tracks. Those tracks are our private property and when she invaded them, she became a trespasser. Technically sneaking, you, as her owner, became 'a trespasser also. But we have no desire to carry the issue into court and possibly give you trouble. Now then, what would you regard as a fair settlement between ycu and the railroad company?"

"Vail," said Mr. Olsen slowl y , "Ay bane poor Swede farmer, but Ay shall give two 'dollars."

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS

Sir:arra 27

OBRAZEK VESNICK ustanovil. Jeden sedlak od nas tam byl a domlouval mu, aby to nedelal,ze neni o nieem ptesvedeen; ale stark stal na svem a ten musel odejit. I hned gel dome a k nam, abychom se za tepla v ge dove deli. Tome g byl u nas a my jsme se oba ovgem hrozne ulekli; mtij tatik je prchIY, a kdy to slygel, byl °heti na stkege.

I zatekl se, ze me radeji zabije, neZ abych si Tomge vzala.

Darmo jsem plakala, darmo Tome g pro Boha prosil, aby se nezatikal, Ze se to vgecko spravi, aby nas ne gt'astnYmi nealai; otec trek': "Nepros, Tom gi, neuMain toho, kdybys klekl. Na tebe se nehnevam, ale k vuli tvemu otci Hany nedostane g , a kdybys pro ni se zlatYrn vozem ptijel." A pti torn zirstal. — Za tYden byla jsem nevestou jineho jako Tomeg Zenich jine. — Po kolenou jsem za otcem lezla a prosila, aby me nechal svobodnou, ale odstreil mne; pro vgecko na svete jsem matku prosila, aby se nade mnou smilovala, ale s plaeem me vzala okolo krku a jen teSila. 2adny se nad nami nesmiloval.

KdyZ vgecko nic nebylo platno, mleela jsem a modlila se. Ale Tome g ze zaeatku ukrutne dovadel, zabit se chtel, pak se na vojnu dat, a v gelicos vymY glel, takZe ho hlidali a v noci do komory zavteli.

Ale pacholek, co s nim spal, tuze ho miloyal a ten ho kaalou floe pustil. Tu phchazival k me komote k okenku a tam staval nekdy as do svitani. Ja jsem ho With, a on v2dy pokojnejSi odchazival; nekdy jsme ovkm oba do bileho dne V nag. vesnici byla stoleta najemnice, chuda, ale rozumna a tuze poboZna. K to jsem jednou Sla a slibila jsem ji, aby mi TomSe vymodlila, ze ji do smrti Zivit budu. Ale ta mi rekla tolik: "Jdi, deveeko, jdi a porue to v gecko Panu Bohu; vymodlenY muZ ani Zena nejs.ou polehnani. Na Bohu se nema nic mod Zadat, on ti to da, ale nepolehna. Poslechnete rodin, at' v dobrem, at' v zlem, Brzh yam to v nebi yeenou radcsti nahradi." Ani ta babieka me nepote gila a ja jsem si jia Zadne rady nevedela. Mrij Zenith vyTomge, ze chodi k memu cknu; zahnat si ho netroufal; ale tekl to matcc. Od toho dne musila jsem spat v sednici aZ do svatby a jiZ jsern s TornSem nemluvila. Bylo gukani pinY arm, prace pine ruce a ja chodila jsem jako telo bez du ge. Matka pekla kolaee a plakala, druZky vazaly kytky bez zpevu, otci hlava zbelela starosti a trapenim.

2enich me netrapil, myslil si asi, ze se po svatbe vg ecko podda. Byla to smutna svatba! — Jak me svatebniho dne rano ustrojili, jak se v gecko odbylo a jak jsem ja na vuz pti gla, to vgecko nevim. Pied alma se 'mi tm'elo a na srdci mi

(Pokraeovani se strany 18.) ukrutna tiz. HdyZ jsme jeli mimo Torn:gni statek, ohlidla jsem se tam, zda ho naposled jeSte uhlidam; najedncu vylitne sam ze vrat a vrhne se zrovna pod kone. Kdyby mne byt tatik do naruei nechytil byla bych se s vozu skacela. Co se delo, nevim, ale povidali mne, ze se kone zastavili, a etyri ze ho domil odvedli. Mne odvezli do kostela a se aenichem oddali. Brzy me mrazilo, zase mi pot na eele vy ystaval ukrutnou fizkosti.

Modlila jsem se ne site o Stesti, ale aby me Pan Bilh zahy k sobe povolal. KdyZ jsme se damn vratili, pritoei se ke mne pacholek z Tomkva statku a pavida.: "Nevesto, Tomes to dava presit, abys mu poslala ten proutek rozmariny, co jsi v ruce drZela, ae si jej vezme zitra k oltdri, a potom abys jej na hrob vsadila." — "Rekni TomSovi, Adame," Poviddm, "at' je s Panem Bahem, at' nenahka, ze budem brzy u kostelieka spolu spat." Proutek rczmariny jsem mu dala, a kc.1372 jej TomSovi odvedl a vzkazani vyridil, dal se ubohy do place, a od to chvile byl jako beranek. DruhY den mel svatbu, ale ovSem byla u nevesty v druhe vesnici. V nedeli potom byl pratelski, °bed u jeho rediefi a u nas -Lk; 'neer byla v hospode muzika. Mr:1j muZ me nutil, abych gla take, a ze mel trpelivost s mou fizkosti a ja jsem videla, by se mu byli sousede vysmali, kdyby ptigel bez Zeny, gla jsem. 0, nenadala jsem se, jakd bolest me tarn 'deka,. — Sotva jsme veSli a sedli si, priSel Tomes se svou Zenou. VSecka krev mi ustydla, kdy1Z jsem ho videla. Nekolik din ho hrozne zmenila. Oei mel vpadle a krvi podlite, tvare Mute a rty jindy jako jahody byly zmodrale. ' enu mel dost hezkcu, ale Skarohledou. Bystre se na mne podivala, uSklibla se a sedla k znamYm. Tome§ si daval nalit a vtom se zaealo hrat. Mnj muZ vstane, prikroei k nemu a povidd: "TomAi, dovol, abych s tvou &nou tancoval, a chcee-li, tancuj s Hanou. TomSOvi se oei zableskly, nerekl ani slova, ale vzal Josefa za ruku a stiskl mu ji, Potom SO pro mne a milj mua gel pro jeho Zenu. Vg ichni ktieeli. "Dobte tak, to je hezky," ale ja jsem se tldsla jako osikovY list a srdce mi div nepuklo, kdy me Tcmeg rukou obtoeil a do kola se mnou ykrooil. Pe yne me k sobe ptitiskl a geptal: "Pan Bah me miluje, poptal mi tebe obejmouti, neZ unitu. Hano, ma draha Hanieko, ja brzy umtu, a rad, bez tebe Ziv b'ti nemchu." — "Ja unatu s tetou, Tomgi." To jsme si povidali v tanci; i toeili jsme se jako smyshl zbaveni a mimo sebe nic jsme neslygeli, ani nevideli. Chvilemi se Tom govi prsa dmula a Wee zastenal, ale piece me v naruei drZel a nepustil, az pi'estali larat. Tu nine

postavil, dal mi hubieku jen v letu, a vygel yen; y en, ja jsem nemohla slova promluvit, ale na Stesti toho nikdo nezahlidl.

Za, chvili Pri gel Tomeg z venku, ale vgecek zsinalY; zvolna sedl vedle mne a Josefa, poloZil hlavu do dlane a dival se na nine. Josef vstal a pta se ho, co mu je., ale ja jsem se jen azkostne na nej podivala. Tome g nepromlu y il ani slova, vzal me za ruku a pevne ji stiskl, v tom mu druha ruka sklesla a hlava padla nazpatek. Josef ho chytil, ale najednou mu vyhrkne z first proud krve — jeSte jeden, nekdo vzkrikl — a jd jsem padla s lavice &In — KdyZ jseme se zase vzparnatovala, le.2ela jsem sve posteli, celd zkrvacend, a matka stala u mne T6-bylo okamZite vzpamatovani se, a hued jsem zase blabolila. Moje nemoc trvala dlouho, a dvakrat jsem silne plivala krev; ale koneene mi pfec tak dalece pomohli, ze se budu musit nejakY eas po syete plilit. 4 TomSovi se ml ZadnY ani slovem nezminil, a ja jsem se neoptala, as jednou, kdy mi bylo lepe a Adam mimo okna, gel, zavolala jsem ho k nam. NaSi nebyli doma a ja jsem se mohla na vSecko zeptat. Pr y -niotazkubyl,je-1TomSrtev.

"Je, selko, je, a ja mu toho preji," rekl Adam, "hued o svatbe vedel jsem, ze by se rad se sveta pripravil. Rano, kdyZ jeli k neveste, preji mu Stesti, ale odpoveal: "Adame, ty vi g, Ze je po mem Stesti veene vekn y veta, chceS-11 nine co dobreho prat, prej mi brzkou smrt." ho bylo lito a prosil jsem rodiee jeho dost za nej, ale vk nadarmo. Mal CO prespriliS rad, ale bez svoleni redien Yodel, se by nikde nic neporidil, a proto si myslil: Kdy.2 nemam Hany mit, radeji umru, a kdyZ mom umrit, udelam po villi jako ona. Veeer gel jsem take na jeho veselku, ale tak taneit jsem jak Ziv nevidel, jako Tome g taneil; to bylo, jako by se v divnem viru tail, a kaZdYm tancem vlil do sebe ledoveho piva a lehl na snih. Ja jsem ho videl, ale Pan Buh ,mne snad ten Mich odpusti, nechal jsem ho bYt, ac jsem vide', Ze ho to zabije. Veal jsem, ze je pin zoufalosti, a jestli neumte, me gpatnYm elovekem se stane, a proto jsem ho nechal. Jak ho etytdenni tancovani a je gte vice vnittni trapeni zmenilo, videla jsi. KdyZ jstc spolu taneili, dival jsem se a plakal jsem, vedel jsem, se to bude vase posledni radost. Tome g vygel yen, podepkel se na mne a povida: "Adame, nine je zle; nezapomeri na rozmarinu a tekni Bane, ze brzy pro ni ptijciu. Jestli jsem ti kdy odpust'." Vtom gel do sednice a za chvili byl mrtev. Jeho Zena se lekla, ale tuze nenatikala; lee jej' tatik, ten (Dokoneeni na strane 28.)
