AKO V ZIVOTE jednotlivce, rovnet tak i v trvani kterekoliv instituce nebo spolku jsou ureite mezniky a jista. vYroei, kdy mono na okainEk zastaviti se a vzpomenouti si celc pro gle testy.

Dnes na g spolkovY easopis mohl by oslavovati etyficate vYrodi sveho narozeni.

Za tech uplynulYch tiicet del/et let byl Vestnik stalYm a pravidelnYm ptichozim do katcle domacnosti, kde bydlel e'en SPJST. Byl to gesty sjezd Slovanske Podporujici Jednoty Statu Texas, konany zaeatkern bervence 1912 v Granger, kterY uznal bud' vYhodu nebo potfebu vlastniho listu. Pied rokem 1912 byly v gechny spolkove zpravy od Elavni fdadovny a od jednotlivYch facia uvefejnovany v easopisu "Obzor", vydavanYm v Hallettsville bratrem Frankem Fabianem, s nimt Hlavni iiiadovna mela smlouvu nebo dorozumeni, to spolkove veci budou v jeho listu, uvefejnovany.

Tiskovy vYbor gesteho sjezdu, konaneno v Granger, vypracoval podminky, dle kterYch by sarnostatnY organ mohl bYti vydavan. Nektefi delegati zastavali hied, te by postaeilo, kdy by spolkove zpravy byly nadale uvefejnovany v listu stavajicim, ale tyto nazory byly pfehlasovany petkrate silnej gi vethinou, aby SPJST mela sviij samostatny organ.

Tiskovy vybor na tomtet sjezdu odporueil, aby spolkovY organ byl vydavan jednou mesiene. Nastala debata, pki nit ha.jeno bylo stanovisko, te organ vychazejici jednou mesiene nebyl by dostateenYn-i pojitkem a te easopis vydavan dvakrate za mesic byl by vYhodnejgim.

Nekteti delegati pfimlouvali se, aby organ vychazel katcly tYden. TehdejSi hlavni tajemnik, bratr Kubena, podal navrh, aby se napfed zkusilo s organem dvakrat za mesic, a kdy by se pozdeji uznala potfeba nebo vYhoda tYdenikti, mohlo by se teprve pfistoupiti na vydavani organu katclY tYden. Jak zapisky z onoho sjezdu ukazuji, navrh bratra Kubeny byl pfijat 1f19 hiasy a proti navrhu byio odevzdano

idll

60 /llama. Bylo usnteseno, aby novY organ byl vydavan ye formatu velikosti organu Vestniku Zapadni Jednoty, aby byl tet nazYvan "Vestnik" a aby obsahoval 12 stranek eetby. Byly pociany d ye nabidky na tisk Vestniku, jedna od bratra Drozdy a druha od bratra. Fabiana. Tisk Vestniku dostal bratr Frank Fabian, kterY rovnet nabidl, ze pfevezme redaktorstvi Vestniku.

V sedmem sjezdu, konanem roku 1916 v Galvestonu, bylo rozhodnuto, aby organ byl vydavan katdy tYden. Nepa.matuji se jit pfesne, zdali konkurs byl vypsan Hlavni tfadovnou nebo zvla gtnim tiskovym vYborem, jen se pamatuji, te po sjezdu uchazely se o tisk Vestniku dye skupiny 'dent. Zesnuly bratr August Morris a jeho tehdej gi dva spoleonici chteli Vestnik vydavati v tiskarne Westskych Novin ye West. ZesnulY bratr Josef 'Papal a jeho dva spoleenici men v fimyslu zorganisovati Vydavatelskou Spoleenost Vestniku a zakiditi tiskarnu ptimo v miste, kde se nalezala fistfedna Jednoty, totit ye Fayetteville. Byla pfijata nabidka bratra Jos. Tapala, kterY rovnet dostal fitad redaktora. Ku kryti vYloh spojenYch s vydanim organu muses katdy elen Jednoty piatiti etvrtletne ureitY poplatek. Nepamatuji se ureite, kolik jsme tenkrate platili povinny poplatek na Vestnik, ale zda se mi, te to obna gelo 20 cent0 kade tti mesice nebo 80 centa roe ne. Doufam, ze mne nekdo opravi, jestli se mYlim.

Osmy sjezd, konanY roku 1920 v Schulenburgu, povolil zvYgeni poplatku za Vestnik dvojnasobne. Platili jsme tenkrate $1.60 roene: V tutet dobu ueinena byla zmena ye vlastnictvi tiskarny, kde byl organ vydavan a vydavateli stall se tajemnik Kubena a redaktor Tapal.

Dvojnasobne zvY geni poplatku a dvojnasobne zajmy vydavateli byly pfieinou, te bylo dosti ostre kritiky na pomery, jako by organ sloutil zajmilm jednotlivcu a nikoliv ye prospech Jednoty a v gech eleAby kritikove nezabihali do vYstfednosti, byl v pfi gtim sjezdu, konanem v

Houstonu roku 19z4, pfedloten navrh, aby zvolen byl tfielenny tiskovy vybor, jemut redaktor by posilal zavadne elanky. Na prvnim tiskovem vYboru byli bratfi Jan Hurta, od faclu 6. 47; Jan Etoleeek, od fadu 6. 28; a Anton V. Mikeska, od fadu C. -87.

Jak se povinnosti tiskoveho vYboru pozvolna menily a vyvinovaly, od "c. k. censury" jak nekdy byl vybor nebratrsky nazYvan — at po dne gni tfielenny vybor, ktery vyjednava s tiskarnou a vydavateli Vestniku, bylo by samo o sobe zajimavou kapitolou. Obyeejne tiskovy ,NrYbor byl zvolen, ale nebyly mu nikdy ureeny Ukoly a smernice, die kterYch by se mohl fiditi. A teprve nynej gi Tiskovy vybor, pod vedenim bratra Horfloka, snati se usnadniti praci redaktora, kdy vyvstanou 1-U11e neptijemnosti se strany dopisovatelii.

Ae vatim si stejne v gech Clem, kte'ri kdy sloutili na tiskovem vYboru od roku 1924, kdy vybor byl zaveden, za zminku stoji bratr Jos. R. Anton z Houstonu, ktery byl ustanoven na nevypr gelou lhfitu po zemfelem bratru P gendikovi, a kterY jedinY z cele •ady tech bYvalYch dobrych &eat) na tiskovem vybor uznal odborne povinnosti sazeeske, tiskafske, vydavatelske i redakeni. Pied jeho novinaiskYmi znalostmi i dnegni redaktor Vestniku nevasmeknouti svilj girak.

Jak jit podotknuto, prvnim redakto rem Vestniku byl bratr Frank Fabian, kterSr tidil na.§ organ etyki roky. Odstehoval se pozdeji do Argentiny a byl pravidelnym pfispivatelern do easopisu Hospodak. Po sjezdu v Galvestonu v 1916 stal se redaktorem Vestrfiku bratr Jos Tapal, ktery drtel tento atad at do sjezdu v Ennis, kdy dobrovolne se vzdal ye prospech bratra Franty Mou6ky. Redaktor Mouoka zastaval tuto funkci od 1. ledna 1933 at do sveho onemocneni v polovici roku 1950. Resignoval kratce pied svor smrti v lednu 1951.

Od zaloteni Vestniku roku 1912 at do sjezdu konaneho v Taylor roku 1940 obsaheval nag organ 12 stranek detbv S v3-7(FokradoVani na stran6 4.)

Schuzi Tiskoveho yfboru oznamuje pfedseda tohoto telesa, bratr Jos. Horflak, na sobotu dne 12 .ledna 1952 do jeho residence, 3500 College Road, Bryan, na Beset hodin dopoledne. Bude to pravidelna schuze Tiskoveho vyboru, pH ktere bude probirano v ge, co se tYee naaeho organu a zaroveri moZno prodiskutovati body, ktere by bylo zahodno pfedloZiti p •igtimu sjezdu. Puvodne schfize tato byla planovana aZ ku konci ledna, kdy jednotlivi aleni Tiskoveho vyboru jsou uvolneni od svYch jinYch povirmosti u domacich radii. Hlavni fifadovna si ale pfala,

by TiskovY vYbor probral elanky 63 aZ 67 naaich stanov, podal o techto elancich sve dobrozdani, p • ipadne namety k opravain, a zpravu svou podal do pki gti schO-

ze Hlavni uradovny, ktera se kona druhe pondeli v mesici, dne 14. ledna.

0 rnesic pozdeji, 9. unora, sejde se ye West na g pfedsjezdovY stanovni vybor, aby prol3iral vgechny doporueene navrhy na opravu stanov, nalaite o novYcli pokynech uvaZoval, upravil je die, sveho nejlepgiho Usudku, a nechal v gechny takto upravene a stanovnim vyborern schvalene zmeny uvefejniti ve Vestniku. Proto je nanejvYg dtlelite, aby v gechny lady poslaly sve pokyny na tajemnika stanovniho vyboru, bratra Frank B. Steinera, 4350 Dickason, Dallas, Texas. Tyto pokyny, navrhy a doportioeni pro zmeny ku nebo pro vteleni novYch pravidel a elankfi musi bYti v rukou vyboru schtlzi dne 9. imora. Upozornovali jsme na tuto clUlditou vec heed zaeatkern za minuleho roku, kdy stanovni vYbor po dal v tom smyslu sve pro yolani. Upozor novali jsme na potfebu studovani sta,nov a odeslani oprav vicekrate. Dnes pouze pic ipominame, ze stanovni vYbor nenniZe a nebude mit prava •13fedkladati piti gtimu sjezdu veci neprostudovane a vyborem neuvaZene. MoZna, Ze to bude vYhodou a Usporou pro sjezd, kdyZ mnoho zmen nebude v finorove schfizi vyboru pfedloleno. Jestli spravne chapu zneni stanov, kde stoji, 2e "vg echny havrhy museji bYti zaslany vyboru" a° Ze vYrbor ma "ne pozdeji neZ dva rnesice pied sjezdem uvaiiti a rozhodnouti o v gech navrzich", tedy na sjezdu nemilZe bYti rokovano o neeem, co se opomenulo pfedlaiti stanovnimu vYboru. Takove natizeni stanov zda se nejen rozumne, ale te2 prakticke.

Debata nezabere tolik easu a Jednota nenia Pfi tornto postupu talcove vYlohy, kde devet rozvaZnYch hlav rozhocluje nejakou choloustivou otazku, neZ kdyby tataZ otazka byla fe gena, celYm sjezdem, kde by mohlo bYti "hodne mlaceni, ale malo na". Pouze zamitnute navrhy mohou byti projednavany na sjezdu. Stanovy dovoluji stanovnimu vYborti sejiti se jegte jednou pfed samYm sjezdem, kde vgak sotva budou pfipustne ku probirani ne jake nove navrhy, ale spi ge budou urovnany nesrovnalosti vy ystale nasledkem posudka o tech zmenach, ktere jiz byly stanovnim vYborem jednou probirany a doporudeny> Doufejme, ze techto novych navrhu nebude prespfilig, a ty, ktere budou, dostanou se yeas do rukou stanovnimu vYboru. Usnadni se tim prace jak vyboru, tak i pkiatimu sjezdu.

U tech radii, kde delegati byli jiZ zvoleni, bylo by zahodno, aby samotni delega ti se postarali o to, by s motnYrni nebo Zadoucimi zmenarni Mann se neotalelo.

Kandy delegat u fadu je vla,stn.e mluveim na sjezdu za svfij fad. On ma, znati smfaleni svYch domacich &end a,spon v tech dulelitYch bodech. On ma zjistiti pfani svYch mistnich spolubra.tra

Ve stfedu, dne 2. ledna 1952. v otazce staleho clomova pro na gi hlavni Ufadovnti, zda schvaluji vlastni budovu nebo dal gi pronajem. On ma zjistiti hledy domacich v otazce ittulny pro stare eleny. On ma vyslechnouti nazory eleo zmene organu pod fizenim dvou redaktoril nebo o zavedeni pouze jednoho redaktora. On ma, promysliti aspon ty etyfi nebo pet hlavnich bodU, ktere pfedlehaji k vyteSeni pfi gtimu sjezdu. A jestsi je sam nedovede vyjmenovati nebo pfedstaviti, on by mel o techto vecech mluviti s jinymi, kteri vedi, jake ofechy se budou louskati a jaka, jadra se budou hledati. KaZdY delegat by mel se hledeti zasvetiti do potfeb Jednoty a pkijiti na sjezd aspori s nejakou pfedstavou, co se od neho bude ooekavati. A kaZdy delegat by mei ode clneg ka eisti nag e stanovy, poinalu s rozvahou, aby vniknul do neIcterYch neznarnYch koutkii, a, mel pfileZitost jeate pied sjezdem se pfeptati, proe to a ono. Mime feeeno, delegat, ktery nezna stanovy, nernel by si delati vYlet na fleet Jednoty. o opravach stanov, dve zmeny bychom snad mohli navrhnouti.

Jedna by byla zkraceni celYch stanov.

Druha je pfepsani stanov do spra yne eeg tiny, aby byly odstraneny slohove kostrbatosti, nevhodne vYrazy a slob devate nacteho stoleti. Tyto nedostatky v nagich dneg nich stanovach Vytvotily se pozvolna, od sjezdu do sjezdu, a neni to vinou Zadneho jednotliveho sjezdu, ani Zadneho jednotliveho vyboru. Zkraceni stanov dalo by se provesti, kdy2 by se vypustila zbyteena slova, samortejme vety, a tea nektere elanky podfadne dfilditosti. NCkde by se nechal cely elanek zkratiti na etvrtinu, ania by pozbyl sveho yYznamu.

Celkem vzato, nage stanovy jsou rozvldene. Vzhled a Uprava jejich prozrazuji, stanovy byly eas od easu slepovany, doplriovany a clopisovany aZ v proudu debat na, sjezdu. Stanovy na ge nema,ji toho hladkeho a promy gleneho slohu, jakym psal Dr. Rudig JidinskY stanovy Americke Obce Sokolske, nebo jakym slohem sepsany byly stanovy AmerickYch od Dra. Vojana. Stanoxy maji byti odleskem vyspelosti a mentality elenti spolku. Nage stanovy, jak dnes je mame, nemohou bYti na gi chloubou.

Pak plan se ptedlotil vyboru, aby ho forrnoval ztetelnYmi slovy a vetami, ktere se rozdelily na elanky a odstavce. Takto upra,venY text byl ptedloten \Teem delegaturn a probiran ye veech odstinech; Koneene dva delegati, Morris a Wilson, byli poveteni, aby celou Ustavu napsali jasnYm, ztetelnym a hladkYm slohem. Takto napsanY text byl znovu pozorne pteeten, schvalen a uznan zprisobilY, aby mohl bYti ptedan eloveku, kterY celY text opsal krasopisne na velary arch parpiru. Tento koneenY opis byl teprve podepsan 39 delegaty. TentYt postup je proveditelny na naeich sjezdech. Napted prijde pted stanovni vybor oprava, myelenka nebo plan; Nae stanovni vybor, ktery se sejde 9. finora, formuje a upravi myelenku, aby smysl byl zachovan, ale aby sloh byl bezvadnY. Veechno se uvetejni ye Vestniku, by kaldy Glen mel dosti easu o planu uvatovati, podati o nem sve dobrozdani nebo kritiku. VYbor se znovu mute sejiti, aby nesrovnalosti nebo namitky uvatil a pro sjezd upravil. Pak se jit nic noveho na sjezdu neptipoueti, lee by nekdo chtel prosaditi navrh vYborem zamitnutY. Ale katda oprava stanov musi bYti podana stanovnimu vYboru pisemne, aby veechny slohove a mluvnicke chyby mohly bYti 0praveny dtive, net navrh je ptedloten k odhlasovani. Tim se vyvarujeme mnohe nejasnosti a tet slohove neuhlazenosti. A hlavne ueetti se na sjezdu mnoho drahocenneho easu.

Tichou a vdeenou vzpominku zaslouti si byvalY redaktor Vestniku, bratr Franta Moueka. Bylo to pied rokem, kdy dne 6. ledna zerntel bratr Moueka ye svern domovo ye West. Tenkrate napsal o nem kolega a bratr Otakar Charvat, redaktor 13ratrskeho Vestniku (Zdi1J), te Moudka "pro svou opravdovost v snateni o prohlubeni zajmu o bratrske pojiet'ovnictvi v kruzich krajanskYch a o zachovu skeho narodniho tivota zaslouti si vzpominky nejvlidnejei." Bratr Moueka verne sloezil naei Jednote, ttebate po osm rokn mist() slutby za svou poctivou praci dostaval jen almutnu. Nikdo si tenkrate neuvedomil, ze kdyt byl zvan na rtzne slavnosti, nebylo na gasolin a sotva staOilo Mem na chleba. Oeekavala se od neho povzbuzujici detba, nadeeni ku spolkove praci, a zatim odmena za jeho dueevni yykonnost byla malicherna.

JAK SE PO ✓ITALO VE STAROVEKU Je nee() jednoduSg ih net poeitani? Odtikavat jeden, dva, th, etyti, pet atd. uml katcly. Poeitani se u nas talc, vtilo a tak jsme si na ne zvykli,ze si nedovedeme pfedstavit dospeleho eloveka, kterY by neurnel poeitat. A pfece byla doba, kdy lide poeitat neumeli. Praveky alovek, ktery obYval naSi Zerni pied statisici lety, neznal oheri a neumel poeitat.

Ve starch povestech se vypravi o prorocich a hrdinech, kterYm bohove odhalili, nebo spise, ktefi ukradli bohtm oheri a eislo. Takovi proroci a hrdinove odem nikdy neexistovali. Lide se naueili pooltat sami postupne behern mnoha tisict let. Dedice zkuSenosti a vedomosti od cliivejS4ch pokoleni, prohlubovali a zdokonalovali stale sve pootatske umeni.

Soudoba Veda o eislech je velka a slatta. Je to pfededim aritmetika, jednajici o vlastnostech eisel, a algebra, t. j. vecia o zakonech vzajemnYch vztaha eisel.

Obe tyto vedy jsou opet cast' matematiky, t. j. vedy, ktera pojednava o prostorovYch formach , a kvantitativnich vztazlch skuteeneho sveta eili o vecech naprosto realnich. Matematika neni prazdnym vYmyslem mudrct. Vznikla z prakticke potteby lidi poznavat pfirodu a jeji zakony, aby mohla sloutit aloveku.

Tlmto elankem chceme vysvetliti, jak Lide ovladli krok za krokem poetafske umeni a na jakem zo.klade je vybudovana eiselna soustava na g"' doby. Je to na pohled vac jednoducha, vzdor tomu velice zaj imava.

Na starYch hrobkach, na rozvalinach starYch chramt nalezame °boas zvlaStni, podivne znaky. Vecici je rozlnAtili a doOdell se, jak till lide pied etyfmi at peti tisici lety. Z techto napisir se dovidame, to na.S1 pfedkove umeli jit pied nekolika tisici lety dobte poeita,t. Jak dak poeitali lide v dobe, kdy jegte neznali pismo?

0 tom mitterne miti pouhe domnenky.

Tkemi cestami se mfiterne dostat o sta.let' nazpet a pokusit se rozfeSlt tuto zahadu.

Prvni cesta je studium jazyka, fistniho podani a pisni. V jazyku se zachovalo mnoho stop nejstadi doby, stop to doby, kdy lide jegte neumeli psat. Jazykovi odbornici, filologove pomohli zkonstruovat zpiisob tivota pravekeho eloveka.

Druha cesta je pozorovani deti, kdyt se uei mluvit a poeitat. V katclem diteti jako by se jit od prvnich mesicu jeho vota opakoval vYvoj celeho lidstva. Toto "opakovani" probiha °dem velmi rychle: cestu vYvoje, kterou lidstvo krakelo po tisice stoleti, projde dite behem nekolika let a dokonce i mesict. Pfesto v gak mtpozorovani deti nabYt nateterne rych poznatku o torn, jak se lide poeitat.

Tieti cesta je studium primitivnich ndrodt. V nekterYch krajich zemelcoule, ye vzcialenYch koloniich, v Africe, ve stiednl easti Jitni Ameriky a na nekterYch ostrovech se zachovaly kmeny, tijici na, velmi nizkem stupni vYvoje. Tyto kmeny dnes tiiji ptiblitne stejnYm zptsobem, jakYrn till nagi pfedkove pied pet nebo deseti tisici lety. Misty se jeAte dnes zachoval primitivni zpilsob tivota. Studium techto kment, jejich jazyka a umeni nam umotinilo pochopit mnoho zahad naSich vlastnich prastarYch dejin a poznat, jak poeitali naSi pra yed. ptedkove.

Srovnanim Ipoznatku, ziskanYch z techto t •i prament, si milteme vytvotit pfiblitnou pfedstavu o torn, jak na g' pfedkove poeitall v doba pied vynalezenim pisma.

V to prastare del* kdy se lide naueili miuvit a utivat ohne, znali pouze dve eisla: jeden a dva. Bylo-li poeitanYch pfedmeta vice net dva; pak tikali proste mnoho. Mnoho bylo hvezd na nebi, ale mnoho bylo i prstil na, ruce. I ted' jeAte existuji kmeny, pro ktere poeitani do tti je Velmi obtitne. Ve vYvoji katicleho ditete je take zfejmy easovY tsek, u katcleho ditete odern jinY, kdy chape dobfe, co je to jeden' a dva, ale poeitat do tti jests neumi. To tedy znamend, to jeden a dva vznikly o hodne (Hive net ostatni eisla,, Cili, ze byla doba, kdy lido umeni poeita.t pouze do dvou.

Postupne k prvnim dvema eislurn pHbyvala dalSi. Lide se naueili poeitat do pets a ispojovat d ye petky v desitku diky poeitadlu, kterYm obdafila eloveka sama pfiroda: dvenia rukarn s deseti prsty.

Oisla pet a deset hrala velmi dfiletitou ulohu v dejinach vYvoje poeitani, o ee je zaehovano hojne dtkazt. V jazyku vetginy starovekYch narodt se nazvy pr y -nichdest lhodujrsnazvyptu.

Dokonce 1 v teCi soudobYch na.rocit se zachovaly stopy tohoto jevu. Na pfiklad v soudobe italaine znamend slovo le dita jednak eisla do deseti, jednak prsty. VYraz spoeitat na prstech, jent se v nagem jazyku dosud zachoval, sveclei, to i u naBich pfedkir bylo poeitaAi nerozluene spojeno s prsty. Koneone i naie soudoba desetinna soustava pooltani, o nit se pozdeji zminirne podrobneji, je clukazem toho, jak velky vYznam melo 'Oslo deset ve vyvoji poetalskeho umeni.

Rekli jsme jit, tie lide z poeatku pocitali petky a teprve pozdeji se natteili spojovat petky do paru a poeitat na desitky. To potvrzuje zajimava podetni pomticka, ktere se dosud utiva, a to einske poeitadlo.

Postupem east' se lidska spoleenost vyvijela, vzniklo zemedelstvi, chov dobytka a nejjednoclaSi femesla. Soueasne se zro-

dil i nejjednodugS1 zptsob poeitani. Z teto doby se nam dochovaly pisemne pa!flaky, proto jit nemusime tvoiit tactile domnenky, nebot' vime zcela pfesne, tehdy nagi pfedkove poeitali.

Na, tsvite pisemnictvi neexistovala pismena. Katdy pfedmet a pojem byl znazornen obrazkem. 6asem se obrazky zjednodug ily, ale jejich poeet se zvet gil: tyto zvlaStni znaky jit nepiedstavovaly pouze pfedmety a pojmy, nYbrti i vlastnosti pfedmett a jednotliva slova. VAechny tyto snaky se lisily od noSich pisrnen to byly velmi slotite (katicly z nich byl obrazkem, byt' i velmi zjednodngenYm), neznamenal jednotlive zvuky, ale cela slova. Tyto znaky se nazYvaji hieroglyfy.

Hieroglyfove pismo je nejmene pet sic let stare. Zvlag tnich znakti (Cislic) k zapisovani eisel tehdy nebylo. Adak slova "jeden", "pet", "dvacet" a jine eislovky byly zobrazovany ureitYmi hieroglyfy jako ostatni slova. TakovYch eisel-hieroglyft bylo pomerne malo, protote v to dobe umeni lide poeitat ne vice net do ita vzo.cne do tisice.

V nekterYch zemich se zachovalo hieroglyfove pismo dodnes. Na pfiklad v a v Japonsku se dodnes utiiva vedle latinskYch pismen ten hieroglyfy.

Hieroglyfy starch Egypt'and svedei o tom, ie jejich pootafske umeni bylo na velke vYSi. Pied ttemi a pub tisici lety ji2 znali Egypt'ane cela Cisla a zlomky. Z teto doby se zachovaly kalenclaini tabulky, hospodafske doklady a specialni sbirky poeetnich pfikladti, ktere sloutily za pomtcku pH vyueovani poettm. AvSak s velkYmi eisly se v egyptskYch parnatkach nesetkavame, protote hieroglyfy byly is nevhodne k zapisovani velkYch 'disci a bylo nutno znat pfiln mnoho rtznych hieroglyf y. K darSimu zdokonaleni poetalskeho umeni bylo tfeba bud' nalezt vhodnejSI pismo, t. j. pfejit od hieroglyfft k pismentm, nebo vynalezt nejaky zptsob zjednothnSeneho zapisovani eisel zvlagtnimi znaky.

Washington Zavora teSkoarnerickY roman

Tvaf otcovu pfelet1 mraeek jakesi rozpaeitosti.

"Hochu, jsou to dirldite veci . . . ale ted' toho nechme, az budeme sedeti nekde u dobreho obeda a budeme si moci vaechno vypraveti. Ted' napted vynajdi cestu k feke, abychom se dostali do New Yorku, a pak pfimo do hotelu."

S proudem cestujicich, valicim se z dokfr pfeplavni spoleenosti do ulic Hobokenu octli se oba Zavorove na vzduchu a chvatali k pfeplavni lodi, jez je mela pfenesti na druhy bfeh Hudsonu, do vlastniho mesta New Yorku.

"Mam ti vykidit pozdrav stare Rozi," Washingtonovi.

"To spraskne race al se dozvi novinku," prohodil otec.

Jednim velmi dobrYm a east° obdivovanYm rysem povahy Amerieanovy jest, ze dovede zUstati chladnYm, tfebas by nitro jeho bylo pobouteno, ze umi zachovati tvaf lhostejneho, trebas by mu napjata zvedavost hnala dvacet otazek na jazyk.

Washington Zavora byl svYm chovanim i vyhranenim povahy Ameridanem. V te chvili, kdj/ jej spolu s otcem pfendaela supajici "fera" pies Usti feky Hudsonu do New Yorku, byla zvedavost jeho znadne napjata, a poznamka otcova, 2e teta Rozi spraskne ruce nad novinkou, nebyla Maria k ukonejaeni jeho netrpelivosti; ale navreh zUstal klidnYm. Ukazuje na ty neseislne pfevozni a nakladni parni pramice, zamofske kolosy i menai iodide, ploche 2eleznieni "fery" pfevaIejici cele vlaky, rychle vleane parnieky ozdobene zlatYmi orly nad kormidelfiikovou budkou kfaujici a propletajici se mezi velkymi lodemi jako diperni hoaici v zastupu valne kraeejicich lidi, na tu flotillu, supajici, oddychujici, piskajici a houkajici, mihajici se pc) veletoku, tak, ze zpola mofska voda, jeho ani z varu nevychazi, mluvil a 2ertoval s otcem o vaem mdnem, ani slaykem se nezminuje o oeekavane novince.

Otec patrne take nemel na spech s vybalenim toho napovezeneho pfekvapeni.

As za hodinu na to sedeli oba Zavorove ye velke jidelne jednoho moderniho hote.111 na Lexington avenue. Washington si porueil po americkem zvyku kavu hned s obedem. Jeho otec, jedouci z evropskeho vYletu, pil k obedu pivo a aalek aurae kavy si dal teprve 'po skoneenem obede.

A nad tou eiakou koutici kavy, s jejiin."2" aromatem se misil kouk dvou doutnikfi,

'MICAS

doalo mezi Zavory, otcem a synem, k tomuto cifilditemu rozhovoru: "A ted' bych se mel vytasiti s tou novinkou; neni-li pravda?" zaeal otec.

"Jsem vskutku zvedav," pfiznal se koneene syn, "co ti nasadilo tak volny otati."

Otec odlozil doutnik vedle sebe na stfil a chopiv se obema svYma rukama provide sveho syna, zeptal se trochu se chvejicim hlasem: "Co bys tomu fikal, kdyby do nag rodiny pribyl novy elen?"

Tohle bylo i na Washingtonovu chladnost trochu silnou davkou. Po jeho hezke tvafi mihnul se zablesk pfekvapeni a nevole. "Jak to nityslia, tati?" zeptal se.

"NepomYalel jsi skuteene nikdy na to, 2e by mohla nekdy v naai rodine nastati zmena, ze by se ku pfikladu mohl nekdo z nas dvou, bud' ty nebo ja, deniti?"

"Nu'e, a co dale?"

"A co dale," vybuchnul pojednou otec, jakoby se chtel jednim razem zbaviti telkeho bfemene. "Nae, to je dale, 2e se chci deniti."

Washington nyni take odldil doutnik.

Popel spadl na misku dfive nezli vyhaslY svitek tabaku. Ruka. Washingtonova se chvela.

"To je tedy ta novinka!" fekl po chvilce, jakoby se byl ze sna probudil.

Starai Zavora pozoroval fizkostlive sveho syna.

"Poslya, Vaal," iekl takovym tonem, jakoby se omlouval. "Nebudea se mi diviti, az poznaa 2enu, jiz jsem si vybral . . . Je to vzor t'en a hospodyfi. Zadny fanfar, abys si nemyslil, 2e se tvuj tatik zblaznil za nejakou mladici. Je to vdova v nejlepaich letech . . . a pro tebe pri torn take asi neco bude, nebot' ma dceruaku hotoveho andilka. Jen poekej, az je uvidia .."

MladY Zavora neodpovidal. Myalenky jeho tekaly nekde jinde, snad u trosek one krasne budovy budouciho zivota, jiz si byl v duchu stavel, a jd se pri novince otcove sfitila v prach.

Ale story byl jiz jednou v proudu feef a proto pokraeoval, nute se do 'tertu: "Nebylo by to hezke„ Vasi, stati se zetern sveho vlastniho tatika a pti torn manelem deveatka, joke jsi v Americe jeate nevidel? . . . Ale nyni, abych ti po potadku vypovedel, jak jsem k te znamosti pfiael."

Washington slyael jen jako z hluku a vfavy v mozku zapolicich myalenek vypravovani otcovo, jak se tento ubytoval ye Vidni, kde je nedostatek peknYch a nepfedra/enYch hotehl, s pfitelem Zimou u jedne vdovy po fitedniku, Ceaky, velmi hezke pani, jak byli oba pfekvapeni vYtednou kuchyni a krasne vedenou domacnosti, jak k vuli dobremu bydlu i pfivetive pani prodluoval pobyt ye Vidni ode dne ke dni az koneene pfitel Zima odejel sam do 8vSicar a do Pafile. Jak se po

3t7tittA odjezdu pfitelove jeate blue seznamil pani, jez nesla svoje vdovstvi odhodland ji2 po tfeti rok a jak charakterni a cti dbalou 'ienu v ni seznal. Jak krasne, vzdelane a hodne osmnactilete diveiny vdova ta matkou, a jak mu mezi tema dvema bytostmi pri tech neustalYch dech bylo jako v raji, jak premYalel vypoeitaval, zda by se nedal ten raj i.clof Ameriky pfenesti, a jak koneene, zahle del/ se do hlubokYch oci avarne vdovieky, si uminil myalenku ye skutek uvesti a nabidnul ji svou ruku. Jak se z podatku vdova zhrozila takoveho navrhu i cesty dd Ameriky a jak se koneene rozhodla pro. nabizenou ruku pane Zavorovu . . .

"A pak mi nezbylo," koncil otec svoje vypravovani, "ndli nechati dalaiho ce stovani, vratiti se co nejrychleji do meriky, abych ti oznamil tyto zpravy zaridil vae k novemu "A kde mda svoji nevestu?" zeptal syn, kdj/ byl nechal bez vytrhovdni otc,, vymluviti.

"Zfistala jeate ye Vidni. Chtel jsem je °be vziti hned s sebou. Ale nechtela a.iprosto svoliti, jeti se mnou, nejsouc moji s enou. Ja zase jsem se nechtel dati oddati tam z mnoha pflein, hlavne proth, ze jsem nechtel podnikati tak dfilditY krok, dukud bych s tebou o tom nepiomluvil."

Washington mavnul rukou, jakoby chtel fici, 2e do teto zale'2itosti nema, by rekl.

"Ujednano tedy," pokraooval otec, se vratim sam, v Chicagu vaechno pfiprO-vim, a moje nastavajici pfijede za mesic za. mnou .. . Ale co se, Vali, tak tvafia jakobys se napil pelynku?"

Otec, pozorujici fakostlive tvaf synovu. videl ve velne, zamyaleni jevici tvali Washingtonove nejaka zlovestna mraeria.

Ale obavy jeho byly zbyteene.

"Nemohu zvyknouti te myalence, ze by nas dosavadni Nvot mel bYti zcela. pie vracen, tot' vae," fekl mlady pravnik klid ne, zapaluje si pied chvili odloienY doutnik.

"Jen se nekabon, Vaal. Rueirn ti za to, e kdybys byl bYval ve Vidni se mnou, sedeli bychom tu nyni ne jeden, ale Oa tienichove. Ostatne, az uvidia Marydl, dea take koukati jinak na. svet."

"Jake jmeno jsi to vyslovil?" zepta.1 Washington.

"Maryel," opakoval otec.

"Co je to, prosim te, Maryel?"Co je to Maryel?! To se tak fika, Vidni misto Mary nebo Mery. To je ' tak jako Matenko, via?"

"A proti tomu jsi nenamital nieehC Ty, jemd nebylo jmeno Washington vhod?"

"To bych si dal, zahajovati manMistvi sporem o jmeno. Ostatne, al bude Mary& tvoje —" PH tech slovech otcovYch se "pfe Washington pohrdlive uaklibl

Straw' 12 krtig si ji jak bude chtiti, ttebas na koeieku nebo tiabulinku. Dokud je maminei21a, budeme ji fikati, jak si toho pfeje A ted', hochu, nechce g -li pokaziti tatovo g testi, si ptipijeme na zdravi nastavajicich dvou ZavorovYch." Washington si s otcem ptipil, ale s daleko ne tak veselou mysli, jakou mel vracejici se vYletnik.

"Jen co poznag Maryel!" sliboval tatik.

Druha ienitba pane Zavorova.

Byl srpen. Oe gti vYletnici do zarnoti se zvolna trousili nazpet. Katida velka lod' z Hamburku nebo Bremen jich ptivezla lined nekolik. S jednou z nich pkijel i pan Zima, Zavorily ptitel. Z New Yorku telegrafoval sve rocline do Chicaga hodinu :,tr eho ptijezdu a pak, neme gkaje, vsednul na viak Telegram pane Zimilv byl v Chicagu oeekavan mimo rodinu prijiidejiciho vYletnika i nekYrn jinYm. Hodinu pied tim, mill vjel vlak, vezouci vYletnika, do noveho chicatiskeho nadratii, zaznel panu Zimovi, sedicimu v Pullmanove voze, u ucha znamy hlas a nejaka ruka se mu cluverne polotiila na rameno.

Osloveny pozdvihnul hlavu od svYch zavazadel, jeti si byl k pfijezdu ptipravoval. Pted nim stal mlady Zavora. Drive netili mohl vYletnik vyjadfiti svoje pfekva,peni, usednul Washington na protej.?>1 sedadlo a tekl: "Ptijel jsem yam tti stanice naproti.

KterYin vlakem ptijedete jsem se dovedel oct vag ich. Telefonoval jsem tam po celY tyden katidodenne, zdali mail od vas jiti zpravu. Chci s varni mluviti beze svedkii."

"Co pak se stalo?" ptal se pan Zima, trochu postra gen slovy WashingtonovY111i.

"Nestalo se nic zvla gtniho," odvetil mlady "ale chci se od vas, dtive neZ budete mluvit s otcem, dovedeti v ge, co vite o pani, u nit jste byl s mYm otcem na bytu ve Vidni."

"0 pani Stravnikove?"

"Ano, tak se na2Yva," fekl Washington, divaje se upfene do tvare pana Zirny.

"Shad to nebral vas otec vatine?" poclivil se Zima.

"Ano, az piing vatine," odvetil tazanY, neboV za nekolik dni bude ona vdova tady, aby se stala pani Zavorovou."

"Hned jsem to tikal, jakmile mi Zavora oznamil, ze se vzdava, dal gi cesty. Nu o , tatne, abych yam tekl pravdu, nema vas tatik gpatne gusto. Vdovielta jako tvalohova buchtieka, domacnost eistou jako klicku â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a kuchafit until . . . Sliny se mi sblhaji v Ustech, jakmile si vzpomenu na ty jarni husiaky, na ty videfiske roznratle, na ten uherskY gula gek a na ty Ceske polivky a knedliky. A co as uvidi-

ESTNI -- WEST, TEXAS to â&#x20AC;˘mladou! . . . Ja myslim, kdy'ti uti je to tak daleko, abyste to nechal betiet a nechal tatikovi po van."

"MYlite se, pane Zima, domnivate-li se, tie bych snad chtel otci v jeho vuli ptekatieti: Bylo by to take marl* nebot' jest â&#x153;&#x201C; pravem slova smyslu zaslepen, nemluvi o nigem jinem neti o sve nastavajici, a poeita uL dny a hodiny a hodiny ati se s ni shleda. Nelze mu to take miti za zle, nebot' ztravil nejlep gi desetileti sveho 1-ivota ye vdovstvi. A to, jak myslim, jen k van mne. Neosobuji si pra.vo mluvit do otcovYch Umys15. Ale to jeho rychle rozhodnuti, ten chvat, a pak to pfili g dobra vide one tieny, jeti do Ameriky s dcerou samotna, to v1-e mi zda, jaksi divnYm, a proto bych rad vedel co mano nejvice o to jeho vybrane partii. Od otce se nemohu dovedeti neti same hezke, lakave veci. Jest to samozfejmo. Lide zaslepeni laskou nevidi netili krasnYch stranek, a jinych si nevgimaji, nebo pied nimi myslne zaviraji oei, zrovna tak jako elotrek zaslepeny nenavisti nevidi nail -zlo a gpatnost. A kdyby videli i vlastnosti opaene, neuznaji jich nezmini se o nich.

Froto neslygim od otce netili samou chvalu a tegeni . .. Vy jste tu vdova ye Vidni poznal, nedival jste se na ni ani nebeskYmi ani snad eernYmi brejlemi, a mtltiete mi fici svilj nestranny Usudek. 0 to vas prosirn."

"Well, jak jsem yam jiti 1-eki, je to velmi sland partie, a nedivim se Zavorovi pranic, tie si uminil presaditi tu hospodyitku do sve zahradky. Jinak nevIm nic zvlagtniho, co by vas mohlo zajimati.

Aha, jedine snad to, jedine snad to, tie jsme se dovedeti teprve etvrtk den pobytu u pani Stravnikove, tie je vdovou.

Do to doby byla v nagich oeich vdanou pani, jejiti ma bYva na cestach."

"Hm, nezdalo se varn to podivne, tie se na,pted yydavala za vdanou tienu?"

"Ano, zdalo. Proto si na to vzpominam.

Zdalo se nam to podivnYm oberna, taktie jsme se ji ptimo zeptali, proe svoje vdovstvi zamleovala."

"A elm to vysVetlila," zeptal se dychtive inladY pravnik.

"Se smichem naLn tekla, tie miva Casteji cizi patty na bytu, a ptedstavi-li se jim jako vdova, tie bYva hned obtetiovana raznymi navrhy."

"Dobr6 vysvetleni," tekl po kratke pomlece Washington. "ZbYva' jen dovedeti se, zda take pravdive. Jineho mi nematiete o pani Stravnikove a jeji dceti Mei nic?"

"0 pani Stravnikove jiti nic, ale o jeji deal, to Maryel, to, tie jestli jste dosud nemel chuti do tieneni, obratite se na ruby jako ovei kaich, jakmile to ptaee spatfite."

"Jen abyste se nemylil, pane Zimo ..

Ah, tady jsme na etytiattica.te ulici, kde

Ve stfedu, due 2. ledna 1952. dela vlak posledni zasta y ku. Seskodim a pojedu domu karami. Nemam zapotfebi se setkati s tatinkem, jenti na vas 'deka na nadratii. Zvestuje yam osobne tu novinu a pozve vas za svedka k sva,tbe.

Delejte pfekvapeneho a o na gem setkani ani muk. Rozumite? . . .

Pan Zima hral znamenite pfekvapeneho, kdyti mu Zavora zvestoval, tie se bude tieniti, a to s pani Stravnikovou. Ppzvani za svedka k svatbe pfijal ochotne .

Tehoti yeeera tekl pan Zavora k svemu synovi: "Washingtone, mam k tobe velikou 1-adost."

"Co to bude, tatinku?"

"Vig, tie p11-i1-ti tYden v patek pfijedou Videriaoky do New Yorku?"

"Ano, vim," tekl jinoch s lehltYm povzdechem.

"Moh/ bys si vzit prazdno a jet jim na proti? Hodi se to lepe, neti abych jel ja."

"Chtel jsem ti to sam navrhnouti tatinku."

"Ty's piece jenom nejlep gi ze vgech synatoru ,Va gi! Jak daleko jste se zatizovanim noveho domova?"

"Budeme hotovi pied nedeli!"

"Piljdeme se na to v nedeli spolu podivati, kdyby nekde je gte neco chybelo."

Washington Zavora si zafizoval vlastni domov.

Kdyti po svem navratu z Evropy oznamil otec Zavora tete Rozi svtij iimysl se znovu otieniti, priglo nejen to ptedvidane sprasknuti rukou, ale po chvilce, vyplIlene slzami a usrkovanim, i resolutni prohla geni, tie ona, teta Rozi, dosloutiila jedne pani a jine tie sloutiit nebude, a tie se ostatne uz citi na tom svete zbyteenou, a tie vi o jednom jedu, ktery tak nepopali chttan jako karbolka a nepokrouti eloveka bolestmi jako arsenik. A tam u nebotiky pani Faninky, tie bude lepe, neti na tomto gpatnem svete, kde lidi nemaji tiadneho svedomi. Toto tragicke ultimatum provazeno bylo slziekami po dlouhem tenkem nose stare Rozi ati ke 1-piece tett) okrasy jejiho oblieeje, a eekanim tam, a je htbet kostnate ruky rozmaekne.

Pana Zavoru neptivedly ani ty slzy, ani slavnostni prohlageni stare tieny z rovnovahy. "Zcela dobte, Rozi," tekl.

"Vim, tie by to ani nedelalo dobrotu, kdyby jste mela poslouchati novou pani. Ale slutibu si jinou hledati neptijdete. Vezte tie Washington take nezilstane v tornto domovu, jak mi prohlasil. Bylo by to sypani pro lidske jazyky, kdyby bydlel pod jednou stfechou s deveetern, jeti mu budou hned davati za nevestu. Naa podporova.ti fedi? Sam tekl, tie prijde bydlet jinam, a ja, proti tomu nemohu nieeho namitati, naopak to schvaluji. Ale jest jiti trochu povyrostlY, neZ aby chodil nekam na "boarding". Zatidim mu jeho vlastni

Ve sttedu, dne 2. ledna 1952. domacnost, do domacnosti bude potkbo-, Vati hospodyriku a tou budete vy, Rozi."

Posledni slzieka, houpala se je gte na konce nosu stare slutky, kdy jeji tvat zase zatila vlidnosti. S timhle rozhi gtenirn byla Rozi spokojena a za techto podminek mohla se smititi s niykenkou, tie misto nebotky Fa,ninky bude zaujato tenou jinou.

Pan Zavora vynalotiii v ge na to, aby jeho syn lehce otielil spolednY domov.

Kopil mu nevelkou ale peknem zdenou residenci v blizkem sousedstvi, v krasne, Cechy hodne osazene etvrti Lawndale a dal ji na svoje ntraty zatiditi vim pohodlim. Ujednano ale zaroveri, tie bude Washington aspori ttikrate tSrdne na yeeeti v domacnosti sveho otce, at tam zahaji svoji vladu nad kuchyni nova Zavorova.

Den pkijezdu nevesty a jeji dceru gky se ptiblitiil. Starg i pan Zavora byl jako na trni. Pooital okamtiky: ted' asi je uvital Washington na doku; ted' je veze na nadrati. Pak, kdy dostal telegram, kterym vlakem vyjeli z New Yorku, ptechazel vS'erni tiemi za sebou jdouchni hlavnimi svetnicemi sveho bytu s jizdnim tadem v ruce, dival se kalde dye minuty na, hodiny a kikal si v duchu, ke ktere stanici se ptiblituji, kterou mijeji.

Koneene se stars tenich doekal okamtiiku, kdy uvita svoji nevestu. Byl by letel na nadratii naproti, kdyby nebylo bYvalo mezi nim a synem dohodnuto na ptesnem patadku •ddavek.

Ujednano totit, ze se pan Zavora stark, jenti nosil "marriage license" jit tti dny v naprsni kapse, setka s damami teprve ye svatyni zakona, kde budou oddavky vykonany. Washington doveze je z naciratii do nekteroho hotelu dole v mesto, aby se mohly po dlouhe cest y vlakem upraviti, pa ptipade si nejakou hoclinu odpodinouti. Na to ze je doveze v tomtet kodate do residence redaktora Zdrithka, jenti v teenika Svobodne Obce jest opravnen die statnich zakont oddavati. Tam je bude oeekavati tienich se svedkem, a tarn bude vykonan svatebni cbtad. Na to, tie se teprve pojede do domova novomanteld, kde bude mala. hostina.

Bylo to tedy v iitulnem domku pana Zdrribka no, ulice Grenshaw, nedaleko tiive kkitiovatky 6tyficato ave. a Dvana.ctou ulici, kde se setkal pan Frank Zavora se svoji nastavajici. Obe &any ptijely se zfejmymi stopami imavy po dlouhe cesty ye tvatich. Vzdor tomu ale vypadaly °be rortomile. Pani Stravnikova byla tiva ostibka prostkedni postavy, plnYch forem tela, ac nemohla bYti zvana tlustou. Jeji tvat, otivena bystrYma hnedyrna alma, je2, by se byly mohly zvati krasnYmi, kdyby nebylo b'yvalo trochu silneho, spik rovneho net klenuteho

Ma.ryel, vzdor neamericke postave, byla krasne device. Byla zidealisovanym portretem sve matky. Byla jako tato brunetou a mela tuditi kulatou, draldivYm dtilkem zdobenou bradieku.

Nedaleko cue cesty projely nejakYm velkYm parkem, jej jmenoval doprovazelici je Washington parkem GarfieldovYm. Nyni tedy koneene byly u cue sve cesty.

Shledani jejich s pally Zavorou a Zi'mu v tak valnem okamtiku bylo spite obtadne netli srdeene.

"Kde to vlastne nyni jsme?" zeptala se pani Stravnikova, rozhlikjic se kolem po polich s knihami, pracovnich stolech a po obrazech s divnYmi tvatemi.

"Zde jsme v miste, odkud obyeejne vychazeji 'pkislugnice krasneho pohlavi se zmenenYrn jrnenem," hiasil ochotne pan Zavora. * "Takhle tady snad piece kostely ne-t vypadaji!" tekla nevesta.

"To ovkm ne. Ale zde v Americe se neoddava pouze v kostelich, ale i u soudu nebo v privatnich domech csobann, jet- k tomu maji zakonitou moc."

"A je takovY shatek platnYin pak po delem svete?" ptala se jaksi nedilvekive nastavajici pani Zavorova.

"OvSem tie, stejne jako kaidY jinY zakonitY," prohlasil Zima.

Vdova se rothledla po tviVich Vgech ti i ptitomnYch mutu a viciouc z jejich vatnYch pohlechl, to mute slovum jejich drivetovati, zeptala se: "A nae tu 6ekame?"

Pan Zavora se mezitim nemohl doekati chvilky, az bude o samote se s yYm synem, jent byl s damami z New Yorku ptijel a je k matromonialnimu &stavenieku ptivezl. Chvilka takova se mu naskytla, kdy snacha pane ZdrUbkova se nabidla ukazati cizinkam zai-izeni americkeho bytu. Danny odeSly s mladou, hezouekou pani nahoru' do bytu a pan Zavora, nedbaje ptitomnosti Zimovy, oslovil sync: "Dekuji ti Washingtone za provedeni illohy. A nyni mi tekni uptimne: co Micas. MarYeli?"

Oei starkho pana Zavory zdstaly kovany na rtech synovYch. "te je to hezke devee, to je vSe." "To je l ge?" opaeil ()tee a v jeho slovech se ozYvalo trochu zklamani.

"To je vS'e, ano," potvrzoval syn.

"A vice nic?"

"A vice nic!" znelo otci v cdpoved'.

"Damy uz ptichazeji," oznamoval Washington misto odpovedi.

"Podkej, aspori mi tekni, co soudiS' o sve nastavajici macek!" "‘Ze ji nedam ptiletitost, aby mi mohla byti macechou."

"Tak ja to nemyslim. Jak se ti libi?"

Washington se nalehavym otazkam otcovYm vymknul hlasitym prohlagenim: "Pan Zdrribek ptichazi."

Take ze nebude ani ona, ani dcera hrubgi domaci praci, a te na to budou muset miti slutku.

Ph snidani se jednalo mezi novomantely jako pled notatem ph kupni smlouye.

Teprve nyni se doekal s oci sve enti'Sky vdeeneho a usinevaveho pohledu. ' "Kdybys delala domacnost," fekla pani Zavorova, sve dceii, "nemohla bys se yenovati udern se anglieine,.hudbe a malbe.

"Tatinek", jemuZ toto pojmenovani dneSniho rana, naramne lichotilo, se site nepamatoval na podrobnosti toho, co sve nastavajici y e Vidni sliboval, ale ptikyvoval blahosklonne. Pamatoval se tolik, ze da„ Maryel ueiti hudbe, aby nebylo ztraceno to, oemu se do smrti otcovy nauaila.

"Ale mami," namitla, Maryel, eerVenajic se nad svYm koflikem.

"Jen mle a bud' rada!" tekla polo phsne pani Zavorova.

Pan Zavora by si byl radosti zazpival, slyse, ze matka mluvi jiz o &eh jako 0 neveste. Tedy ona take poeita na to, ze do svatby jejich deti ,nebude daleko. Jen tedy jeSte ten Washington, jen zastal veera, chladnYm jako severni pol, aby se dal strhnouti. Ale to pkijde, to ptijde! Copak je mono odolat takove Z'abce s takovYma alma a s takovou pusinkou?

"Jak se jmenujete?" zeptala se pani.

0 NESPAVOSTI Ptedev gm nutno vylouditi tak zvanou zdanilvou nebo domnelou nespavost u nekterYch lidi, kteti usnou sotva ulehli a vethnou prospi celou noc. Byl-li vlak jejich spanek jen kratce ptertden, na pt. desivYm snem, horkem, zimou neb jinymi vkdnimi vlivy, tvrdi na.sledujiciho dne, ze nespali celou noc. Jsou to vet ginou nervosni Tide s nadpramernou pottebou spanku.

Poruchy spanku se vyskytuji v raznYch obmenach. Jedna z detnYch poruch jest znesnadnene usinani. Usinani je pteru§ovane dasto desivYmi sny nebo ottesem tela, take nerulenY spanek se dostavuje pozde. Jakmile vgak &ova touto poruchou postilenY usne, spanek vetSinou trya nenfetrlite po 6 al 8 hodin. Tato porucha, trva-li i dedi dobu, nema ladneho zhOubneho vlivu na zdravi, ttebale vetSinou bYva, ptiznakern v geobecne ptecitlivosti, Jina zvlaltnost nespavosti je opetovne pterulovanY spanek bez zkejmych p•ioin.

Trva-li takova porucha dedi dobu a jsouli spankove ptesto, yky dlouhe, ze ptirozeno, le takovYto aryvkovy spanek neposkytuje telesne a du gevni posily. Lide, postileni touto poruchou, si Miry steIuji na ospalost, nechut' k praci, zmalatnelost a celkovou slabost.

Dark znamY druh spankove poruchy je ptild kratkY spanek. Lide trpici takovou nespavosti se probudi zahy ne ztidka o 3. neb 4. hodine ranni a nejsou jil s to usnouti, aekoliv spali pouze 4 al" 5 hodin.

Tato nespavost postihuje lidi v pokrodilem veku a neni vlastne pravou nespat. vosti u starYch lidi, usinajicich u2 zahy na veder. Tento vederni spanek starch lidi dtimajicich v sea. po mnoho . hodin vysvetluje pornerne kratky spanek nodni na lalku, take celkova doba spanku se nezkracuje. Tinak je tomu u lidi mladAich postilenYch toule nespavosti bez nahrady spanku 'Ahem dne neb veeera.

NejeastejAi porucha spanku jest nespavost, ktera se dostavuje po pomerne kratkern spanku po palnoci bud' jen obeas, dasteji neb v telkYch ptipadech i kakle noci. postileni ulehaji zdanlive klidni, unaveni telesne i dame s nalehavou pottebou spanku. Spanek se dostavi east° ihned anebo po kratke dobe a rychie se prohlubuje, talcie go pal druhe az dvou hodinach nabude normalni intensity. Po dvou azttech hodinach vet ginou hlubobezesneho spanku nemocny se nahie probudi a ihned nabude vedomi bdelosti. Je schopen eisti, psati a ptemfgleti i o tellYch problemech. V jinYch ptipadech tele poruchy probouzejici se nenabudou stavu apine bdelosti a schopnosti dug evni i telesne dinnosti. Le2i se zavtenYma oeima, avb1 slyM blizke i slab.

Tento stay polobdelosti east° s pocity threeni srdce, svrbeni tela, potteby easteho moaeni male trvoti nmoho hodin. Pochod mylenkovY v dobe takoveho nespavosti je vetainou pesimistickeho razu. ptedstavy ptitomnYch a budoucich molnYch uddlosti jsou chmurne, vzbuzujice obavy a starosti. Tyto obavy a starosti pak znemo2riuji dalai tprInek, stupriujice daevni rozechveni.

Lide, postdeni takovouto• nespavosti nemohou spat, je2tO jejich pozornost jest obracena ria neptijemne pocity vlastniho tela a duge. Jakmile jsou vOrk rtdeni v tomto podinani zevnimi zrakovYmi neb sluchovymi dojrny, ztraceji vztah k vlastni osobe. Timto zevnim rozptYlenim se oslabuji obavy a starosti podminene napjatYm sousttedenim pozornosti /la ptecitlivele tel.() a dal. Tak lze vysvetliti, prod vzrastajici ruch ulice v rannich hodinach je uspava. Kdyl se pozde rano neb v dopolednich hodinach probudi, celY pesimismus ptedstav a myMenek je tentam a ustoupi obvykle dukvni einnosti.

Ovgem ze v techto ptipadech je probuzeni trapne, je2to pternauje abnormalni spanek, jehol nejhlubM faze spada u techto lidi v pozdni hodiny ranni a trva, po nekolik hodin. Tento popsanY druh nespavosti je dosti 'Casty a postihuje lidi, trpici nervositou a psychoneurosou — to jest poruchami eivstva a mysli.

Nelze se zde siriti o druzich nespavosti, ktere jsou p1-iznaky organickYch nemoci. Mame na zteteli nespavost nasledkem bolesti, dYchavionosti, onemocneni g titne llazy, horeeky, jistYch duevnich chorob anebo jinak. yzacneho kdelto v dobe chtipkove epidemie pomerne easteho onemocneni sttediska spanku vsedi kolem tteti mozkove komory.

Kaldou spankovou poruchu, ktera se easto opakuje anebo trva neptetrlite delsi dobu, nutno odkazati na lekate. Lekat musi zjistiti druh nespavosti i jeji ny a za.hajiti fteinnou leebu. Nespavost tteba lediti ihned v prvnich podatcich nejen protole je •neptijemna a rual du§evni rovnovahu, nYbr2 protole ohroluje zdravi a maze byti jednim z prvnich ptiznaka telesne neb dtdevni nemoci.

Nselze datklive varovati pied uspavajicimi prosttedky, prohlalovanYmi lekarniky neb laiky za nekodne. Jich bez lekatskeho ptedpisu a dozoru neb jich zneulivani maze mai za nasledek nebezpeene zmeny v krvi, ktere ohroluji zdraVii livot. Jiny gkodlivY freinek techto uspavacich leku je v mnoha ptipadech

nertnost davky stale zvetgovati, aby bylo spanku docileno, jelto si nemocnY na male davky zahy zvykne. Spanek umele ptivodeny i sebe neAodnYm prostfedkem je side ptijemnejAi nel pH' era nespavosti, ale nikdy nemfde nahraditi svelest tela a dule, kterou poskytuje spanek ptirozenY. Koneene je nutnos zdarazniti, ze ladny z detnYch uspavacich prosttedka neledi ptidinu nespavosti, netku-li molnou organickou chorobu poruchy spanku podminujici.

Zaverem nutno zvla gte zdfirazniti uvedenY druh nespavosti, ktera v poslednich letech nabYva pa,ndemickeho rozsa,hu. Je podminena svetovou krisi socialnich a hospodafskYch pomerti. Dtfaevni reakeni prvky nynejal svetove krise jsou starost a obava, ktere ovladaji mygleni lidstva, hleda.jiciho alevu a zapomneni v pol.ehnani spanku. Bohtdel, jen nejhlubgi faze spanku prvnich dvou al tti hodin, ptivodend aplriYm telesnym a dugenim vyeerpanim, je s to zalehnati ono trapno vedomi obav a starosti. teinek starosti a obav trva neptetdite vhloubi vedonri ubohYch lidi i v dobe teto aplne smrti podobne ztrate vedomi a proto ruM a zkracuje spank. Zdanlive vAedni uddlost ze livota nam ukale, jak ureita ptedstava zakotvene. a utvrzena ye vedomi van a povinnosti je s to ovladnouti dug' evni cinnost a spanek. Je znamo ze nekteti lide maji nejen vedomi easu, 110d* maji i schopnost se vzbuditi v ureitou myslne volenou dobu nodni. Aekli bychom, ze maji budidek v hlave. Ziva ptedstava ureite doby, spojend se .silnYin Niedomim jiste povinnosti v danern okamliku ovladne mozkovou einnost do to miry, ze spankovy mecha.nismus se pteru'ai.

Lekatska zkrdenost udi, ze nespavost, podrninenou vzrUgenim, starosti a obav nelze lediti uspoyajicimi prosttedky v davkach neakodnYch. Jen vysoke davky, blilic se §kodlivemu fdinku omamujicich a narkotickych leku mohou v takovYch ptipadech ptivoditi umely spanek.

o CHYTRE PRINCEZNE CITA VESELE za mantela. Take ji nutil, aby si ho vzala leene se na nedem usnesou. Ale Sibal pro-

KOUSKY CHYTROUgtINY. (Pokradovani.)

Zatim Chytrou gka se Svitorkou se chvely tisici rizkostmi, katda, utekla do sve komnaty a zaffela se tam. Obe svetnice byly od sebe vzdaleny a protote princezny o sobe nevedely, ztravily betesnou noc. Nazitti zavedl princ Lenorku do zahradniho pokoje v pfizemi a tu se princezna svetila princi s obavami, ktere nela pied sestrami, aby ji nepohanely za 1611 nena,daly sriatek. Princ ji slibil, ae se postara o to, aby s ni souhlasily; po nekolika slovech vy gel a zamkl Lenorku v pokoji, omit o torn vedela. Pak gel a hledal &tine princezny.

Trvalo to chvilku, net objevil, kam se schovaly. Koneene tvatlava necnost Bvitoreina zavi ila, to princezna, ktera, mluvila sama k sobe, narikajic si, se prozradila hlasem. Princ se podival klicovou dirkou do pokoje a spattil ji. lined ji oslovil a namluvil ji, ae se k ui vetrel do vete, aby ji nabidl ruku.

Vychvaloval do neoe jeji krasu a jeji vtip 8Vitorka, ktera, byla presvedeena,, ae je vgechno pravda, co povida, byla tak pog etila, ae mu odpovedela vodopadem slov, ktera nebyla ani tak prilis odmitayd. Znova se dokazalo, ae .princeznina vasen mluviti byla tak silna, as premohla jeji finavu a vyeerpanost; princezna byla veinal unavena a celou dobu nic nejedla, protote v jejim pokoji nebylo potravy. Byla., jak znarno, lin g , a nikdy na nic uernyslila, leda na to, jak by tvanila, si na nic nepamatovala. Pottebovala-li nrideho, vtdycky utikala k Chytrottgce, a tato laskava, princezna, ktera, byla tak mila jako pracovita, mela v komnate vtdycky nejakY pernik, zavatenniu nebo &aerie ovoce, ktere sauna delala. S. vdtorka, ktera nic nedovedla, trpela hlad, krome toho princ nalehal, aby mu otevfela; koneene to udelala a kdyt princ vegel, sehral s ni tout komedii jako s jeji sestrou.

Potom oba vygli z komnaty a zagli do yetni kuohyne, kde nagli pino jidla a lahudek, protote v ko gi bylo vtdycky dosti 8vitorka se nejeltive starala o to, kde jsou jeji sestry, ale protote si usmyslila, jsou asi obe zavreny v jizbe Chytrougeine, 'fekla si, jim tam nic neschaal: Sibal ji v torn ptisvedeoval, jak mohl nejlepe, a dodal, to k vederu pajdou za nimi ona v gak s nim nesouhlasila, namitajie, je tteba je navgtivit hned, jak se najedi.

Koneene se pustili do jidla a sedeli u stolu ve shode velmi ptatelske. Pak ji Sibal potadal, aby mu ukazala nejkrasnejgi komnatu ye yeti, a cestou ji netne 11ii,Coval nuioho ziska, vezme-li si ho

hned, protote kdyby se zatim o tom sestry dovedely, jiste by s tim nesouhlasily a namitaly by, to on jako star gi syn nejmocnejAiho kralova souseda je vhodnYrn mantelem spige pro stargi sestru, ate by tfeba, Lenorka nesouhlasila se sriatkem, ktery pro ni byl tak vYhodnY. Bvitorka, kdyt se byla namluvila spoustu. nanicovatych fedi, byla tak neopatrna, jako jeji sestra, vzala si prince hned za, mantela a pro tento nepredlotenY tin se i jeji kutel rozbil na sto kusu. K vederu se 8vitorkevratila s princem do sve korrinaty a prvni -vec, na kterou pohledla, byl rozbity kutel. Polekala se a princ se ji otazal, cello se boji. Princezna ve sve vYreenosti nedo,vedla nic zamleet a hned hloupe vybreptala 8ibalovi tajemstvi kuteln a tak mel princ vratalnou radost z toho, to kral bude miti nezvratny dtkaz o tom, jak se jeho ,dcery Spatne chovaly.

Bvitorka ztratila chut' hledatt sve sestry; bola se, to ji nepochvali za to, co provedla, ale princ se nabidi, to je (IA, ate se pokusi, aby je ptemluvil. Princeana se po tomto ujig ten1 uklidnila usnula. Sibal ji pak zamkl v pokoji na jako to udelal Lenorce, a pak pro-. hledaval komnaty ve yeti, kde by nagel.

Chytrougku. Vgechny pokoje byly zameeny krome jednoho a z toho usoudil te se tarn asi princezna ukryla. Spustil hued naudene tikani, ktere se jitS osvedeilo u obou jejich sester. Ale Chytrougka nebyla tak hloupa a poslouchala ho dlouho, anit odpovedela. Koneene vidouc, ae princ vi o jeji ptitornnosti v komnate, odpovedela mu: je-li pravda., to ji ma tak rad, aby se gel do zahrady a zavtel za sebou dvete, pak ae s nim prornluvi oknem sve komnaty, ktere tam vede.

Sibai s tim souhlasil a protote mu Chytrougka stale nepovolova,la, gel si pro poleno a vyrazil jim dvere. Shledal, to se Chytroug ka zatim ozbrojila, velikYm kladivem, ktere nekdo zapomnel ye skrini.

Byla hnevem cela zrudla, ale presto se zdala 8ibalovi neobyeejne krasna,. Chtel ji klesnouti k noham, ale ona kfikla, couvajic: "Princi, priblitite-li se ke mne, rozbiji varn kladivem hlavu!"

"Jakte, krasna princezno?" zvola,1 "vy nenavidite toho, kdo vas miluje?"

Zadal ji tedy znova kazati o prudke lasce, kterou pocit'uje, ale dovolil si to jit jen ores pokoj. Dodal, ‘ae se prestrojil jen, aby ji ye vg i podestnosti nabidi mantelstvi, a rekl, aby odpustila jeho troufalosti, te se to vgechno stab jen z lasky. Chtel ji presvedditi, ze je v jejim zajmu, aby si ho co nejdriye vzala za mute. Namlouval take Chytrougce, te nevi, kde jsou jeji sestry, protote se jimi vilbec nezab9val, staraje se jen o ni. Obratna princezna, tvatic se jakoby se obmekdovala, prohlasila, te musi najit sestry a pak ae v gichni spo-

hlasil, ae ''sester hledati neprijde, dokud ona nesvoli ke sriatku, protote by jiste byly proti tornu.

Chytrougka, ktera, pravem nedrivetovala prohnanemu princi, ho proto jen vice podezirala, chvela, se .jit strachem, co se asi stalo sestram, a rozhodla se, te se pomstvi, a tim se vyhne ne gtesti, jake je potkalo a ktere by i na ni dekalo. Mlaprincezna rekla tedy Sibalovi, ae svoli, aby si ji vzal za manaelku, ale protote je ptesvedeena o torn, jak ne gVastria jsou mantelstvi, uzavrena naveder, musi titi sfiatek at do rana, ujistila jej, to princeznam nic nepovi, ale aby ji dovolil se pornodliti a pak ae ho zavede do pokoje, kde bude prof' ptipravena dobra postel, pak to se tizavte ye sve komnate at do' rana. kterY nemel odvahy nazbyt, videl Chytrougkii stale s naptatenym kladivem, kterYm se ovivala, jakoby to byl Souhlasil lconedne s tim, co mu navrhovala princezna, a ode gel, aby ji popral easu k modlitbe. Sotva vytahl paty, betela Chytrou gka a ustlala mu postel nad derou do kanalu, kam se hazely v gechny odpadky z vete. Pak se vratila •do sveho pokoje. Za chvilinku byl tu Sibal zase a princezna, ho dovedla do toho pokoje, kde mu ustlala a odegla.

Princ se ahi nesvlekl, rychle sebou pragtil na, pastel a protiote,byl tetky, prolomil naraz obe prkenka, ktere princezna zkritila nad kanalem, spadl do diry tak rychle, to se cestou ani zadrtet nemohl, nadelal si avacet bouli na, hlave a natloukl si jak se patti. Padaje, veliky hluk, ostatne Chytrcu gka nebyla daleko a vedela hned, te se ji veselY kousek podaril. S velikou radosti pcslouchala, jak se princ gplacha v kanale.

Zaslontil tento trest a princezna naela pravdu, te se radovala. Ale jeji radost ji nezasttela starost o sestry. Snadno nagla 8vitorku. Princ zapornnel klie ye dverich. Chytrou gka se vritila do komnaty a 8vit,-;rka se hlukem prolaudila.

Chytrougka ji hned vypravovala, vgecko o princi i o torn, jak se vplitil do vete, jen proto, aby jim ublitil. Pro 8vitorku to byl fider hromu. Nebyla tak chytra, aby, prohledla, ze v gechno byla let.

THE ENGLISH SECTION of the Vestnik was added by the voice of the delegates assembled in the 3th SPJST convent•on held in Taylor, in 1940. Four years earlier, 'there was an attempt to add two pages of English reading matter to the content of the official publication, but the motion was lost by a slim margin of seven votes. The chairman of the convention publication committee, Dr. Micek, professor of Czech at the University of Texas, in Austin, made a passionate plea for retaining and preserving a 100% Czech official paper. Four years later, in Taylor, the sentiment had already changed to the extent that the delegates added four WITH THIS ISSUE THE VESTNIK pages of English reading matter.

He servedwas very good, the convention agreed to only four years. His salary for the edithave a semimonthly of twelve pages. ing of the semimonthly 12-page paper was $40 a month. That was in the "good SOME DELEGATES WANTED to have old days" when the schoolteachers were a monthly publication, and others would getting only a bit more than the salary be satisfied with nothing less than a of our first editor.

He held his position until January 1, 1951, turning, in his resignation a short time, before the date when his resignation was to go into effect. It was his illness which kept him from discharging his • dutieS. He died six days after the date of his resignation, on January 6, 1951, at his home in West., •

EDITOR MOUCKA WAS a conscientious worker, a man of high talents and ability. For seventeen years he had car-vied on the editorial work, for which he was receiving a meager remuneration.

His salary was fixed by the delegates of each succeeding convention, first at $100 a month, then $150, $200, $250, until the last convention in Ft. Worth voted the salary of the editor to be $325 a month-.

However, Brother. Moucka was not granted to enjoy this salary but for two short years, He passed on to his. eternal' reward. The salary of his successor was lowered to $200 a month.

EDITOR MOUCKA, without a question, was the best editor that the SPJST had the privilege and fortune to. have; He was recognized as a capable editor by all who had the pleasure to read hiS writings. He could not handle the English section, but he was a past master of the Czech language. His style had individuality. His language was not only fluent, but it had the smoothness of. natural beavty, with no grammatical flaws:- The richness of his vocabulary was amazing.

It came to him as a natural gift and aloo through the constant reading of the. best Czech writers and poets.

Wednesday, January 2, 1952.

YOUR NEXT TEN YEARS Add 10 years to your present age, and that's how old you will be when your eyes have seen for themselves all of the developments that are foretold in this article The -next 10 years will change you in many' ways and will carry you past the midpoint of the century, closer to the year 2000 than to the year 1900.

But the decade will bring no miracles --merely the natural evolution of plans and ideas and trends already in existence. ' These predictions are not based on dream's' itcrystal gazing. Instead, they are sithple and rather flat-footed projections of present facts. And after all, 10 years from now is only tomorrow.

The' set of predictions, based on the assumption and hope that somehows or other a war will be avoided, is the only bne that makes any sense. So that is the assumption w h i c h has been adopted in this discussion.

The 10-year look ahead is meant to be practical, useful in your own life and affairs. It takes in your income, your kitchen, your taxes, your groceries, your automobile, your health. It takes in politics, `schools, labor unions, atoms. It pokes into your town and your home and your office.

You cannot plan for everything that lies ahead, but you cari plan against a background of probabilities—and here are stone of the probabilities.

Population will pass the 160-million Mark -during the Fifties, -and the labor will reach 65 million by the ,late Fifties —the largest ever. The average age will rise, but not enough to provide a horde of old folks to overburden the younger folks. That problem remains for future decades.A stiri3lus of women will cause talk and a few changes. About 1 milion ware women' than men in the early Fifties.

Older women will account for most, but not all, -of the surplus. There will be more 'working women. The competition for huM)ands will not get any less.

Many more new houses will be built the next ten years but at a slower pace than in the :recent past. More smaller and middleSized houses, very few mansions.

Progress in housekeeping and home tending, but no really radical changes.

On the whole, a citizen plucked out of a 1952 home and dropped into a 1962 one wouldn't feel out of place.

Housekeeping will get steadily easier— and a good thing, too, for household help will get scarcer and more expensive.

Gadgets will continue to lighten the housewife's burden, but in a somewhat

different way than they have in the past.

Instead of just saving time and labor, they will make it possible for the housewife to manage a home more efficiently and smoothly. Her work will be easier to schedule, plan, arrange in 1960 as in 1949. But the housewife won't have to jam cake baking, into the middle of 10 other tasks just because company is due -- she can bake half dozen cakes some afternoon when she has free, time, freeze them, and serve them whenever she pleases. It will take just as much time and effort to put in coffee and water and flick the switch when she is using one .of the new automatic coffe makers.

But the job can be done leisurely the night before—for the contraption turns itself on at 7 a. m. turns itself off when the coffee's done.

The grocery store is more and more likely to be a unit of a self-service local or regional chain, less and less likely to be an independent or an outlet for one of the big national chains. Grocery stores that keep evening hours will be common.

Meat will be almost entirely precut, prepackaged and preweighted, thereby eliminating the butcher counter except as a one-man annex to serve, the housewife who needs something special.

Vegetables and fruits will be padkaged much more in the future. Sooner or later you will buy almost all fruits and the majority of vegetables in ready-filled sacks or cellophane or cartons.

Frozen foods will still represent a minority of total food sales but their pro portion will grow steadily and swiftly, The precooked frozen items—roast turkeys, stews, chicken pies—will boom.

Nearly every community will be busting its britches at the seams in the next 10 years. They are behind schedule in providing physical facilities for the larger populations. It will take the whole of the decade to catch up with the needs and to fill in the deficiencies caused by the war.

The two main problems will be schools and traffic. You will go shopping downtown less and less, buy more and more at neighborhood shopping centers and utlying branch stores.

Schools will be a continuing major headache. Elementary school enrolment will climb steadily and will not hit its Peak before 1960. High schools will get a breathing spell for the first year or two.

Not until 1956 will high schools really get it in the neck with crowding, but their problems will last well into the Sixties. The schools will still' be inadequate in 1960.

School-building design will move to•-

ward medium rather than giant size; low, spread-out structures; lots of window space, outdoor classrooms, play areas —functional rather than monumental I design.

Smaller cities will grow faster . than big ones. They will find themselves Ioaded with problems which heretofore have seemed to belong only to big cities.

The need for more police protection, for example, and more parking space. This means cities of from 100,000 down.

Farm to city. The shift will continue.

Farms will lose people; towns and cities will gain them. The United States will be even more urbanized 10 years hence than it is today. But also more city people will go to the country just beyond the suburbs, and get themselves small acreages, not to farm but just for elbow room. This is a strong trend.

For agriculture, almost complete mechanization by the decade's end, with only a few specialty crops still requiring hand labor. The trend toward larger farms wi 1 speed up. Cotton, wheat and corn will be grown more on "mass production" farms. Many small farmers in other lines will stick to their guns, as relatively lowcost midget fram•machinery enables them to keep going without too-heavy investments. The high demand for milk, eggs, meat and peultry will steer more and more farmers into these lines and away from the old-time surplus crops such as cotton and wheat.

Farming and farm income will be supported through the decade. Subsidy in one form or another will be greater than at present. The trend of recent years toward "social control" of agriculture will continue. Farmers will grumble against it in theory but welcome it in practice.

New products, new ways of making old ones. Eere are just a few of the changes: Better lubricants and rustproofing oils from petroleum. Vastly improved weaving machinery for the textile industry, more lasting and more uniform colors in textiles, and a wider choice of patterns and materials. Diesels fast replacing steam locomotives, moving longer trains at higher speeds, making the word "choo-choo" a relic. Jet transport planes on the airlines after 1955. Synthetic gasoline and oils from coal and natural gas by 1960. Continuous casting and oxygen injection lowering the cost of making steel.

Better organization of medical care.

Better hospital facilities and more of them. Better plans for paying. medical (Continued on page 22.)

APPEAL TO THE HEART The question as to whether you will be successful in life insurance depends entirely upon you. No one but you can control this. If you are willing to work hard; if you understand psychology and a little bit of salesmanship; if you are sincere in whatever 'you are doing and you believe with your heart and soul in the good you are selling, you cannot help but impress the people whom you contact with your honesty and your sincerity. And as a result, these people will have faith and confidence in you and whatever you say—and this is important.

So with these few, but important, qualifications, you cannot help but succeed in this business of ours.

But, of course, an agent must have some intelligence. An intelligent agent must always be able to develop new ideas. Almost any idea is good if a man has the ability and is willing to work hard. The best idea is worthless if the creator is a loafer and does not want to work hard, or exert himself, in order to carry his ideas through.

My prospect was a young man, 35, earning $5,000 to $6,000 a year, married, with two ,small boys. I had been trying for the last few years to sell him an educational policy for his boys, but every time brought the subject up he always had ten reasons ready—for not buying. I had practically given up the idea of ever succeeding in selling him insurance at all until one afternoon, as I was coming out of our Boston office a little boy about 8 ,years old stopped me and said, "Mister, don't you want a shine?—Shoe Shine-5 cents."

All of you have undoubtedly seen hundreds and hundreds of these young, children traveling around with little w.oden boxes thrown over their shoulders, their young voices ringing out as eou passed.

I had this little boy shine my shoes.

Picture that; here I am, leaning against a marble building, well-dressed, wellfed and smoking a cigar, and the little boy on his hands and knees shining my shoes. His own shoes were not shined.

His c:othes were torn, his face was unwashed and he locked as if he were not too well-fed either.

When the boy was through shining my shoes an idea came to me. I said, P Johnnie, how would, you like to earn a dolla?"

"Yes Sir, Boss," he said. Then I said, "Come with •me." And down the street the two of us went; into the building where my friend had his office. His secretary; who knew me, let me in immediately. I came into his office and said, "Johnnie, give this man a shine."

By Jacob W. Shout My friend laughed. He thought it was a quite a joke and he said, "Okay." He had no objection, adding, "By the way, Jake, the life insurance business must be tough—I see you have scmething else to do." I did not answer him and just sat in the corner watching the boy shine his shoes.

When he was through, I paid him and sent him on his way. Then I closed the door, turned sharply, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Jim, what guaranty have you that if something should happen to you tonight your own little boys at home won't have to do exactly that?" He stopped smilling and becaMe very serious, and I could see tears coming to his eyes.

Without waiting for a reply I took out an aplication blank and said, "Jim, sign here, and I will have the doctor within an hour." I sold this man two educational policies that same afternoon.

In the same way as radar cuts through the fog to outline its objective so must our sales reasons be able to reach into the heart of the prospect to whom we are talking, in order to get action. Not figures, not comparisons between companies and policies, but action. Action, that is what I want to drive for at all times.

Please always remember that the average prospect is not interested in the technical terms of your policy, or the logic of your sales talk. If his need is for personal life insurance, his action or reaction is always an emotional one.

Therefore, always try to appeal to a man's heart, rather that to his head. Do not try to reason with him. Just try to reach his heart strings.

A violin has four strings and a mandolin has eight. And, I am told, that there is a Chinese fiddle that has only two. But they all have a heart string -Which string do you play on? It is a fine thing to draw a clear tone on the string of logic and reason but, in the selling of life insurance, I always play on the heart string when I want to get results, especially when I am talking to a father about his son.

I am going to tell you a little starry which I have used time and time again when I am trying to sell and educational policy to a father for his son. It has always brought me fine results.

A father came into the room of his boy who was very ill. He sat down . to have a talk with him. The father in the rocking chair in the corner of the room and the boy in bed. The boy was unable

to move his head and had to lie in one position.

They kept up their conversation until slowly the sun began to set and ,the shadows began to appear in the room,.

Gradually the room got darker and ally night fell and the room was in total darkness.

And the son, who had always beeP• afraid ,ef the dark said, "Dad, are ,you still here?" "Yes, Son, I am." replied the father "It is getting so dark I had better put the light on." And the boy said, "No, Dad, let it stay as it is." After a few minutes of quiet the boy said, "Dad, is your face toward mine?" And the father said, "Yes, Son, my face is looking towards yours."

Then the boy said, "As long as your face is towards mine there can be .no`" darkness. The room is light and bright,: and I am not afraid of being in the dark' —I am not afraid of being in the dark."

And with these words the boy fell asleep; This is protection. This is what every child should• have from his father. This is what they have a right to expect.

When you get home, use this story on one of your prospects. Be sincere. You will be surprised at the effect it 'will have on him.

AVOCADO Famous for and established in the production of citrus fruits, farmers of the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas like to experiment with other fruits of subtropical nature. As a result of thirty years of experiments, the Malley now has another crop on its long list.

From one end of the Valley—a warm, 3,000-mile square pocket located in the s,cuthrenmost tip of Texas—to the other, the avocado is being marketed on a commerical basis. There is no large scale production of this fruit, but it is becoming more evident every day that the versatile area can produce the avocado in its most delicious and nutritious state.

The avocado was not first introduced into the Valley with commercial intent.

An evergreen tree, the leaf is large and leathery in appearance. The thick foliage and great height of these trees make them desirable for ornamental purposes.

And ornaments they were at first, but now growers are finding them much more desirable for their money-making significance.

It was not until the twentieth century that commercial avocado ) groves were planted in the United States, and now they are produced commercially only in the Valley, zouthern Florida and southern California.

In. the Valley, even after the experimentation of thirty years, there is no primary variety or set of varieties that have been adpoted by the growers. There is a wide difference of opinion among the growers as to profitable types; however, for all their diversified theories, each seems to produce a particularly tasty avocado, and one that is often four times as large as those grown in other regions.

Hoblitzelle Ranch, north of Mercedes, probably has the best known avocado groves in the Valley. Here, the California , varieties are grown, although Dr. R. H. Cintron, ranch horticulturist from Puerto Rico, is now conducting experiments on several other varieties.

On the other hand, Ben Chambers of Harlingen, vice president of the Texas Avocado. Society and a veteran avocado grower with twenty-five years of experience in the Valley, turns thumbsclown on the West Coast types. Says Chambers, "California varieties are not adapted to Valley conditions. They are grown under drier conditions than those prevailing in the Valley, and are adapted to mountain-type growing. There are no mountains down here."

Chambers' pet types are (1) the Lulu variety, a hybrid developed in Florida, (2) • a variety of undetermined origin

that was developed near Raymondville, and (3) a Mexican variety, long favored in the Ciudad Victoria area of Mexico because of its large, hardy trees.

He thinks so much . of these favorites that he recently pulled up five acres of choice grapefruit in order to plant 500 avocado plants from his own nursery.

In addition, Chambers recently completed setting out more than 400 trees for two other growers in the Harlingen area.

Another Valley enterprise with over twenty-five years' experience with avocados is the Drake Orchards of Dcrina, whose owners also feel that California varieties are not adapted to Valley conditions, preferring instead seedlings of Guatemalan or East Indian ancestry.

Fruit growth, under Rio Grande Valley conditions, is very rapid. Reports Dr. Cintron, "Mexican varieties, which normally set fruit in February, will attain maturity as early as the middle of June.

And the Fuerte variety will begin maturing late in August," In Cintron's opinion the hot days and warm nights all through the Summer, keep the fruit growing all the time.

The avocado has many uses, but Texans and vacationists who winter in the Valley probably are more familiar with it as it appears in a "guacamole" salad.

This tasty dish, which originated in Mexico, is prepared by peeling one large avocado and mashing it with a fork; adding a ripe tomato, a small onion and one-half a garlic clove, all of which have been finely minced. Then added to this mixture are two tablespoons of salad oil, two tablespoons of vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.

These ingredients are mixed thoroughly and served on a lettuce leaf.

Your Next Ten Years (Continued from page 20.) and hospital expenses through health insurance funds, private and voluntary in the first half of the decade, possibly shifting to a public and compulsory system in the latter years.

Cancer will become less of a dread disease as progress is made in detecting it at early stages, in perfecting surgical techniques, in controlling or arresting certain types of cancer, and in searching out its cause. But at present there are no asurances of a general "cure!: Polio will be frigtening in the next few years, but before the decade is out doctors will report promising success with drug treatments and vaccines.

Old people will be more numerous, and also more leisurely, for more of them will live on pensions, both public and private. Persons now in their thirties will be middle-aged in another 10 years. As our world is organized, it's the middleaged people who bear the heavy load— for the oldsters and the youngsters. It's not too early to begin to organize your life to carry your share of the load.

The toys your children play with will include the same classics—blocks, 'puzzles, dolls, animals, Noah's arks—but the kids will also be demanding toys that really "do things." Your daughter w)11 not only want a doll that wets its nants —she will want one of the toy step-on cans to store the diapers in and a t9y washing machine that will really wash them out. Junior will • make cementn his toy cement mixer (by far the most m frightening prediction contained in this article) and his cars and trucks will operate by remote control. More toys will ba made of plastic—but the plastics will be a lot more durable.

Here you have a few of the prospects for your next 10 years. Not all by any means, but a few. Some may turn out to be a little off the beam, but probably not far off, the judgments of many experts has gone into the predictions. Besides, even a few errors are better than complete fog.

Read and ponder. Challenge all you want to. Remember that no effort is made to be either pleasing or displeasing.

The future is both "good" and "bad," and never what you . wish it were.

Remind yourself, as you set your sights for the next 10 years, that a decade is a pretty short time, and that 1962 will be here sooner than you think.

When Brother Moucka died and a motion was made to appoint the English editor for the vacant pcsition . it was pointed out that the Czech editorship and the English editorship could not be combined.

ALCOHOLISM, A SOCIAL. TRAGEDY Now that alcoholism has has gained the recognition of being a malady, rather than a morality problem, the point of view for correction has shifted to serious and scientific bases. In addition to researches by the National Research Council, many of the state legislatures this year are giving consideration to bills, making provision for modern medical care for alcoholics, and for their rehabilitation. According to statistical information, alcoholism has become â&#x20AC;˘a larger public health problem than diseases such as cancer and tuberctlosis. That it is a major social tragedy I can testify to, for having myself been a chronic alcoholic, I know what it means to be sick in mind and body, ignored by friend and associates, to be ashamed of by the family, and ashamed of.. myself during rational periods, even to the point of contemplating suicide as an escape.

(By Bert Shur) discovered that I had made a mistake in filling a prescription. Fortunately, for me and my would-be victim, my subconscious intelligence, the psychic, warned me and I had not yet reached the point of being entirely insensitive to its probing; otherwise, there would have been serious consequences. This shock brought a complete realization of my situation.

My hands shook. I walked out of the drugstore knowing that my mind was no longer dependable and that even one drink was one too many. This happened in April, 1948, the beginning, in earnest, of my fight against myself.

A 'few hours previous to this incident, a friend of mine had driven. two hundred miles from Seattle to warn me against myself. He urged that I take certain treatments which he himself had taken â&#x20AC;˘ with good results. He had indirectly heard of my state and came to plead with me, but my brain had been too soggy to comprehend, and he rode away disappointed.

Ivly cure came by means of two ways: sodium pentothal treatments including psychiatry, and the realization that as all, other human beings I am possessed of" 'a dual existence--physical and phyI made a decision.

Gradually I lost my appetite, my face I could no longer face anyone, not even became puffy and swollen, my abdomen members of my family, and now I knew distended. However, up to this time I still that there was no help for me. At least believed that I had my brain and mind I could spare those I loved the pain of under control; in other words, I looked watching me destroying myself. Howupon my physical condition as a thing ever, in a critical moment I faced about.

This time I followed an urge to take apart, until one day a shock came.

For more than thirty years I had been a plane to San Francisco and have a engaged in the drug business, most of talk with my brother. He hardly recogthe time as the owner of a store or nized me; my appearance had changed stores. One day, and only by chance, I so much. I begged him not to take me to

his home, for I was ashamed to have his wife and sons see me.

My brother realized my condition, both mental and physical, and took the clay off from his work. Being himself grounded in metaphysics and mysticism, he undertook to introduce inc to what was a part of his knowledge, to help me find and recognize my dual self, the psychic or true self. He stressed the power and perfection of the inner self, but that it was necessary to release it from the chains of the outer self and allow it to take control. This could be done by understanding and will power, the outer self voluntarily submitting to inner guidance. It was necessary also to heal and properly nourish the physical self.

That night I flew to Seattle, instead cf going home, and submitted to sodium pentothal (truth-serum) treatments, injected intravenously. During your first treatment, the psychiatrist (while you are unconscious) asks you many questions which you answer truthfully, without even knowing it; your answers come from the subconscious mind. The psychiatrist is 'under heavy bond to destroy all questions and , answers, after trying to arrive at the cause of your drinking.

This interviews goes to your earliest childhood, and forward to the present.

One remains in this hypnotic sleep for about two hours and then slides into a normal sleep of from five to ten hours.

On awakening, the body and mind are relaxed and most traces of nervousness have disappeared. This procedure is repeated, and while one is in this subconscious state, thoughts are implanted into the subjective mind, by the technician, for overcoming bad habits, and how to stop worryng about things that you think you should worry about.

In my case these treatments were repeated every day for six days. It was during this period that I definitely accepted as fact the principle of dual consciouusness as explained by my brother.

I was experiencing in a concrete way the operation of natural laws froth within me. The body could be governed by the soul through the subconscious mind, which gave out only the truth.' My , body had been governed by the objective mind and will. I had submitted to accept the consequences of my will instead of the will of the Cosmic.

By listening to the Cosmic as interpreted by the subjective mind, dis coVvered the channel to true happiness. It has nothing to do with artificial stirnulants.

To one who has never experienced this, it is almost impossible to explain,
