JAKO KOUSEK RAH Sestry a bratii: ODNES LITUJI, ze ztratil jsem elanek, kterSr jsem nagel asi pied deseti roky v tSrdeniku Saturday Evening Post. Byl jsem tenkrate poslan, abych fidil pogtovni triad velkeho vojenskeho taboru. Vedery v osamele svetnici pH kasarnach byly dlouhe, kdy det1 jsem spoustu veci.

Tenkrate pfi gel jsem na zajimayS7 nek, kterV jsem si vystiihnul, dlouho opatroval, nekolikrate pozdeji si ho pie• detl, al se mi ztratil. Byl to popis osady pro stare lidi, nesouci ndzev Roosevelt Park, nekde pii Millville ve statu New Jersey. Olanek mel ndzev "Not Quite Heaven" — Ne zrovna nebe.

Kdyt se rozpiedla otazka ohledne /Caulny pro stare lidi, vzpomnel jsem si na o• nen elanek a nejednou jsem si 0'6.1, abych ho mel po ruce. Byl v nem popis prvye SpojenVch statech, ktera zani lotena byla pro lidi star gi neZ 65 rokii.

Dle vzoru teto prvni kolonie zaloleny byly i line osady pro starce, ale Roosevelt Park je nejznamej gi a nejvyblagenejgi.

•Jak ze eteni onoho elanku se pamatuii, zaloleni osady pro starce melo prazvlagtni privod. Jedna pani, jmenem Effie Morrisonova, eetla roman sepsanSr americkou spisovatelkou Zona Gale "Lights Out" (Svetla zhasla), o jednom starem manZelskem parkti, kterST musel ku konci sveho Zivota uchfliti se do okresniho chudobince. NejakSrm nevysvetlitelnin zprisobem roman dal pani Morrisonova podnet k pfemSrgleni o problemu, co udelati se starVmi lidmi, kteti zadinaji pomalu ztraceti svou nezavislost.

KdyZ po nekolik mesicit sama studovala rrizne pokusy a navrhy, kdy vyptavala se jinSrch a radila se s profesionelnimi lidmi, rozhodla se zaeiti te giti tento problem svVin zpirsobem. Davno piedtim Poznala, ze staff lide sna geji svoje Mime v pokroeilem veku mnohem snadneji, kdy se jim poskytne pfilaitost tak, jakoby byli o mnoho let mlad gimi. Pfigla k 1;-.dyby stun 1Jdu mohli

ti ve svSrch domcich, ktere by povaZovali za svrij domovk, misto aby bydleli v jakemkoliv ristavu pro starce, citili by se hodne spokojenej gimi a nezavislSimi.

V meste Millville byl spoleenSr chudobinec mesta a okresu. PH chudobinci bylo asi 200 nebo 300 akar pozemku, mili za mestem. Nikdo, nepodital, ze by pozemek se mohl jakSrmk.oliv •zprisobem zuZitkovati. Pani Morrisonova dogla si k'mestske admihistraci, aby zru gili zchatradSr star chudobinec a doVolili ji vybudovati malou osadu, kde by nastavela tilsVetnicOve 'domedky pro stare lidi. Tatikove mesta vyslechli ji a jeji blaznivSr plan, pokreili rameny, a tekli ji, ze oni nemaji v rimyslu vyhazovat na neco podobneho penize vybrane v danich. A ten kus pozemku? To piece neni zahon "Neminim pro tyto stare lidi piipravovati zahony odpovedela pani Morrisonova.. "Kdyt mi mesto da pravo pouZiti tento mestskYr pozemek, ti, kdo tarn budou, yypestuji si rriZe sami."

Pozemek byl ji povolen. Pani Morrisonova pfemluvila stavitele, aby ji nakreslil plan se dvanacti domky. Tenkrate vlada SpojenSrch state, roku 1935, vypomahala v rtznS7ch vefejmich projektech.

Pani Morrisonova dostala od vlady na upraveni pozemku a postaveni dvanacti chaloupek $30,000. KaZdST domek mel 'obSr kuchyriku a moder--vacipokj,loznic ne zafizenou koupelnu.

Osada pro stare lidi byla pojmenovana Roosevelt Park. President F. D. Roosevelt slotail tenkrate prvni lhutu. Uprostied osady byla postavena spoledna sin, asi uprostfed prvnich deseti alma, ktere byly pro stavby a zahradky vyeisteny a upraveny. KaZdSr domek byl pojrnenovan podle kvetin nebo keit, ktere byly pied domkem nasazeny.

Pani Morrisonova byla velmi opatrna pH qberu najemnika pro prvnich dvanact domkri. Chtela miti za prvni nojemniky takove lidi, ktefi by ziistali v osade, kteti by byli dobrSrmi sousedy a ktefi by se v osade citill spokojer4mi. Byly pouze dva poladayky, krome dobroty srdce a byfi , ,p(Jkojenc):,ti ()Rdnici

pies 65 NACU stall a museli miti nejak, pramen maleho piijmu, bud' starobni pensi, malt' nastiadanV kapital nebo ureitY pitem.

Domky se pronajmuly nadosmrti. Ncpamatuji, jakSt byl nebo je mesieni najem, ale obnaAi taim, $6 mesiene pro mute a &nu, a $4 pro ovdovelou osobu, jen tolik, aby byla nahrada na elekthilu, vodu a topivo. Jinak kaZdY Zije uplrie nezavisle, kupuje si sve poti-eby, pestuje si svou zelenitm, zavola si svelio lekafe plati si sve povinnosti. Vzdor tomu jsou v osade lide, kteti by kdekoliv jinde ye sy ete sotva vystaeili se svYmi pkijmy na dva, nebo tti dni, ale v osady.

Roosevelt Park mohou berstarostne drhlavu vzhilru po celY rok.

KdyZ pied d yema, lety byl jsem nucen pkipraviti si serii universitnich pfedmiS"ek "0 telesnych a dukvnich potkebficli staid", zjistii jsem dod'ateene, ze osada Roosevelt Park vyrostla o gestnact daMich dornkil. Veaina techto novYch donikoi byla vybudovana jednotlivci, ktefi nJoh dostateeny kapital, aby si domek sami postavili na pozemku, kteryi jim byl nadosmrti proriajat bezplatne. Domky jsou je jich, najmu Zadneho neplati, ale po sinrti obou pfipadne domek osade,.aby jint stark'parek mohl se do domku nasteliovati. Jedine pravidlo musi dodrZeti kdo chtel by si postaviti tam svflj do mek: musi bYti podobne velikosti jako • ine a nesmi byti nakladneji vybaven rie2 jine.

Tim by ovgem odpadnul drivejsi zptsob, aby celY stat vybiral v gechny teditele. Zde prichazi v Avahu, co je lep gi, aby neznami volili neznameho nebo jen znami znameho.

Myglenku tuto bude tfeba dobte uvatiti.

Nove problemy a nazory o starobni pensi, socialnim poji gteni, a snad tet snaha o pkivabeni mlad gich elent do vrchnich niaciu se ukazuje v novem elanku, kterY zni, ze tadnY Glen nemitte byti volen za Utednika hlavni inadovny, .kterjZ je 70 let star, neb sta.r gi, a kterY by takoveho staff dosahnul pied pti gtim pravidelnYm sjezdem. Tento elanek snad je svou novotou zaratejici. Kdyt si vgak vzpomeneme na zesnuleho ptedsedu hlavni inadovny, bratra Jos. Du gka, neni tento elanek naprosto novY..ZesnulY bratr Dagek vzdal se roku 1924 pii sjezdu v Houstonu sveho tikadu asi temito slovy: "Sloutil jsem co piedseda jit pies sedmnact rokil a vetim, to kdyt ma elovek gedesatku za sebou, mel by takove zodpovedne misto pkepustiti jinemu. Ja nominaci nepkijimam." Ovgem, jsou mla.dici sedmdesatileti — a jsou starci atykicetileti. To v gak se da ureiti jedine psychologickYrni testy, kdo je dugevne mlaOm a svetim, kdyt mu piejde 65. At' jsou nahledy jednotlivce jakekoliv, kdy mu piejde 65, stava se i z radikala konservativec.

Bude-li 'AIWA) odporueeni stanovniho vYboru, hlavni idadovna bude povinna najmouti.statniho organisatora ihned po sjezdu. V nynej gich stanovach mame elanek, to Hlavni tkadovna ma pra y° tak udiniti, cot z jistYch dtvodt a ptiein se nestalo. Proto novY elanek, kterY by yegel ihned v platnost, najmuti statniho organisatora nakizuje. Ale zase je tam ponechan postranni vychod, ze kdy by toho bylo poti'eba, statnich organisatort by mohlo byti vice. Je to takovy nevinnY vYraz "die potieby vice", ale mute byti Jednote na gkodu. Kdo urei, ze je jich tieba vice? Hlavni Ufadovna? Jestli za posledni etyki roky nebylo tteba ani jednoho, pkigti etyki roky nebude tfeba vice.

A jestli bude jeden statni organisator miti jakYsi nadskok na provisi nebo vYhody jakekoliv, najdete takovou poctivou &IAA, aby varn kekla, to jeho hrabe hrabou vice net potkebuje, a proto je ochoten se rozdeliti anebo poskytnouti vYhody tet jinemu? To stoji za uvatenou.

VYbor odporueuje, aby Vestnik ztstal tYdenikem i nadale.

V ohiedu lep gich vSrhod ' ivotniho pojigt'ovani pkijal stanovni vybor d ye zmeny, a sice: pojigteni do $3,000 mute byti na• psano bez lekatske prohlidky, kdyt tadatel neptekroeil 40. rok sveho veku; a dale, e'en do 45 rokt stall bude moci byti pojigten na $10,000, do 50 roku na $8,000, do 55 rokti stall na $6,000, a do 60 rokt stmt na $3,000. Poji gteni bez lekatske prohlidky do 40 rokil na obnos $3,000 vyhovuje potadavkinn ptitomne doby, kdy lekakska prohlidka ptisobi velike nesnaze, jednak tadateli, jednak obtite zajistiti si visitu u lekake. Byla doba, kdy venkovsky lekat rad pkijmul nabidku bYti tadovSrm lekakem. Dnes se k leka,ki sotva intitete dostati. Bezlekakske poji gt'ovain bylo napked vyzkou geno v Kanade, kde tadatel easto nemohl se dostaviti k lekati nebo zase lekak byl pfesptili g zamestnan, aby prohlitel zdrave lidi. Ve SpojenYch statech bezleltakske vy getkoIrani bylo rovnet zavedeno napked po venkove a v malYch osadach, ale dnes tet ye velkomestech se upisuje poji gteni bez lekakske prohlidky.

Redaktor osobne se pi-imlouva o zvfgeni maximalniho risika na $15,000 do 50 mkt start, na $10,000 do 55 rokt, na $5,000 do 60 roku, a pak je gte . tyYgiti stupnici stall do 65 fon a poskytovati v tom veku pojigteni aspori na $3,000. U vgech obchodnich spoleonosti nalezneme maximalni hranici veku nejmene 55 roku, ac nektere spoleenosti jdou at do 70 rokt.

Snad je toho pkieinou jeden z mYch profesort, pod ninit jsem studoval tivotni poji gt'ovani, a kterY mne naoekoval rtiznYmi novodobYmi theoriemi.

Celkovi oprav y stanov, jak niun byla podana v pkedeglem eisle Vestniku stanovnim vYborem, je skoro stoprocentne pkijatelna. Je to krok kupfedu a bylo by si jen ptati, aby tyto opravy byly tak rozumne posuzovany, jak neptedpojate a rozgafne o nich uvatoval stanovni vybor.

Jak jit bylo vysvetleno, vgechny dogle navrhy nebyly vYborem schvaleny a pkijaty. Ale die stavajiciho elanku stanov (el.

Jak ale vy.rozumivame celemu pochodu pki nynetii °prase stanov, nemohou na sjezdu byti probirany takove opravy nebo navrhy, ktere nebyly ptedloleny stanovnimu v7boru. Nektere navrhy byly vYborem aznauy za neprakticke a nebyly schvaleny.MoZna, ze schazelo pattiene vysv'etleni nebo ze sloh samotneho navrhu nevystihoval ptivodni mylenku. TakovY vrh, treba byl vYborem nyni neuznaly, mute byti vYboru jeS'te dodateene objasnen, nebo maze byti pkednesen na, sjezdu, kdy by ho vybor znovu zamitnul. Jednint z podobnYch zamitn.utYch navrhti byl novy podariy delegaty tadu Pokrolt Houstonu, aby v gichni vYkonni Utednici Hlavni Utadovny, zahrnuje v to vrchniho lekate a redaktora, bydleli v jednom meste, kde by se ptiai sidlo hlavni fitadovny nalezalo. Byla to myMenka bratra, Ea. J. Kadleeka, a kdy bratr Kadleeek svuj navrh nalelit'e objasnil, myienka by la vsemi delegaty ta.du 88 povaZovana za velice praktickou. Snad stanovni vybor neporozumel vYznarou tohoto navrltu, snad jefte nejsme dosti zralYmi pro argumenty ze men bychom tahnouti za jeden provaz stejnYm smerem, ale iYitide jednou doba, kdy 'uzname, ae vykonnost u hlavni ttadovny bude vyiadovati Vice Sousttedenosti, pospolitosti, 'girkho rozh.ledu od samotnYch hlavnich ttednilm lepst vYpomoc jednoho odboru druhernu, pinegi splynuti ku spolupraci a merle tadovani kaZdY na vlastni pest nebo ste mil jeden od druheho.

Cteni etenati Vestniku: Kdy'Z' pfehlilim ten nas texaskY Vestnik ze dne 30. ledna, tak tam ma dallaskY pisatel eelY seznam Zapadni Jednoty. Ano, je to pravda jak to pisatel napsal.

Kolik delegate by jelo na sjezd do Houstonu, kdyby si nekteri museli platit cestu sem a tam a pak ntratu za noclehy a jidla. Myslim, ze by se to scrklo asi na polovici. Tak prod tolik, natikani, '2e sjezdy stoji tolik penez? Taky jsem byl deleg,a'tem Zapadni Jednoty na sjezdu v Milwaukee. Cestu jsem dostal zaplacenou, ale Utratu za calk tYden jsem si hradil sam. Tam nemaji delegati kridnY plat denni, tak pH tom Zapadni Jednota uSetri par Lisle. Take se tam sjezd nerortabuje celY tYden, jak se stalo ve Fort Worth. Tarn nema delegat moc do mluveni, to se da pisemne vYboru, co je na takove veci jmenovanY, a neni o torn debaty tteba pul dne.

To stoji take vydani. Myslite, ze ten titednik nebo ti , veichni Utednici rnohou jezdit zadarmo? Ja nemyslim.

Mne by se to take nelibilo, a kdyby si dali do rozpoetu to jejich cestovne, na to by byl Vestnik malt', na tu kritiku.

DallaskY pisatel si offal pero o Jana NernYho z Crosby, 'Ze mne chce uspokojit s jeho navrhem. Pisa,teli, ten navrh se pro mne nehodi, spice pro Tebe, nebot' mne neni ani 65, ani 70 'tn. Narodil jsem se kdyZ se kose Zenily a srpi vdavali, bylo to v race 80., a posavad jsem nedostal ani slevu na asesmentech, ani dividendy od naei Jednoty. Tak ten Tvtij navrh nemohu ja schvalovat, to uznae sam, ze se nine nic netYka. Z druheho hrnce. -U rids nam na zaeatku tohoto mesice hodne zaprklo. Jiz u nas tak nezaprklo as! tak dva roky.

Take je zde blizko nine, asi 2 mile na zapad, nove olejove pole. Ale posavad nic nelisuji od farmatt, aekoliv mail ji.Z 13 studni, co jim olej jde sam do vrchu. Je'Ste v loni mnoho Ilse pustili. Taci jsou ti olejati chytraci, farmartun nechti nic dat.

Pri East Gate Henry Jandeek prodal farmu 140 akril za 21 tisic a stehoval se do Rosenberg. Pekne penize, tak zde farmy stouply. Jestli prijde republikanska strana k veslu, tak to udela kotrmelee.

Ted' neco o tom starem taekarstvi dvou dragounti. — Jak nas ten lokaj shodil u toho vratneho, tak ta zlata perlieka., co se rune vyzpovidala, nine 1'1kb,, "Take prijd'te k nam.

Ona udelala na mne takovY pekny kukue, ze kdyby to bylo pH, mesieku, ani ten by na nas naaloval, ze bych ji tech par pusinek pujoil. Ale snih se belal a mrzlo jak o vanocich a andilek se mi ztratil jak sen.

Jirka oklepava, snih se s yYch oficirek (bottl) a povida: "Hrorne, to mrzne! Pani vratna, zuby jiz main jak kost'." Otvira, dvae, ktere budeme opatrovat 14 dni, hodi dye ekatule na podlahu, v jedne to trochu vrzlo a ta pani povida, "To place, BoZc, jak nutle dite".

Ja jsem schvadne o Skatuli-Zakop1, tak zas:to zaviisklo "mama". Pani povida, "Prosim vas, otevrete tomu stvoteni. ' Snad to neni malai opieka?" Ja povidarn, "Ale pani, pri to Marjance uz bylo hodne opis, i velkYch'!. Jirka ji2 mel Marjanku v rukach a spustil "Kdo ,domov muj?" Pfehral jednu sloku a ta pani vratna zaeala plakat.

Ja povidam, "Pani, pros plCCete?" Ona nemohla ani odpovedet. Ja drcl Jirku, aby pkestal. Pani povida, "Ji2 jsem dvacet rokii z meho domova prye, ale posavad jsem tu piseil neslyeela tak ladne brat, jak ji vy, vojaeku hrajete." Ja povidam, ale pani, co my mame kikat, my se tlueerne mezi cizimi lidmi a vy mate vakho pantatu zde." Prave otevtel dvete a povida nemecky, ze jde sem pan adjunkt, ale hned zas za,vfel a pani take odchazi. V torn pani mu kika, ze jsou zde ti dva vojaci, co pan spravec o ne psal, take v nemeine. Jikik zaniZoural oeima jak rezavy kocour, mrskl Spornami at se od nich zajistilo. Ja mu take trochu pomohl, aby bylo vice ramusu, a adjunkt nam dava "Guten Tag, Soldaten!" My poznovu salutujeme a Jitik chce schovat tu Marjanku. Adjunkt nam Masi, ze mame ptijit k panu spravci. Arica se mne pta nemecky, jestli si vezmeme Savle. povidam, "Co by to bylo za vojaka bez eavle? To by bylo jak stara kuchatka bez zastery". A jiZ se bereme yen z to svetnice. V torn pani vratna nam nese dve velke sklenice jakehosi moku, ale podmasli to nebylo, a povida, adjunktovi, "Ptejete si taky?" Byl to city Nemeik a odpovedel, ze i dvakrat. My jsme svoje sklenice drZeIi, ale ji2 prazdne. Pani povida, "To jste meli Zizen". To Cekla Cesky. Ja na to, "Draha pani, v2dyt' takovou smetanu jsme neipli od roku 300 teremtete.

Ona se na nas itsmala a podavala nam nice. Pak se nas ptala na na ge jrnena. Jirka byl hezky . jak panenka, tomu podala napred.

"Jake je vase p •ijmeni?" "Cucek Jirka".

Pak nine se pta, "A jake je vase?" "Prosem pani, ja jsem NemY Jan". Vedel jsem, te je to Moravanka, neb mne to tekla Zdenieka v sanich.

Washington Zavora CeskoameriekY roman

V pokojiku, jimZ host prochazel, sedela nejaka maid starer Zona a pokukujic do knihy, jiZ mela pied sebou rozlolenu. pletla jakousi nekoneene dlouhou pun Cochu. Washington si vzpomnel jen tak mimodek na stihle device, je2 jej v kramku uvitalo, a vysvetliv si, ze mute byt zcela pfirozeno, kdy2 maid Zena plete I dlouhou puncochu; odpovedel nemYm pokynutim hlavy na nemY pozdrav stare Zeny a zaklepal na dveie.

"Herein!" ozvalo se za dievenou plochou, a Zavora vstoupil.

NejakY, asi padesatilety muZ s oficielnim rakouskYm "Kaiserbartem", hodne proSedivelYm, sedel u psaciho stolku na podivne Zidli a podival se na vstripujicino pies brejle. Hned na to zaznel z jeho ust pozdray.

"How do you do?"

"Dobre odpoledne," •ekl Washington rovne2 anglicky a pokraeoval: "Vy p •ijimate die vSeho pouze na yStevniky Americans, ze hned v me teei?"

"Nikoliv, pane ..." a podivav se na dopis, jejZ mu byl rnladY rnu Z s podal, pokraeoval: "pane Zavoro. Ale Ameridana lze jiZ poznati podle zaklepani, natoZ die zjevu!"

Washington, jenZ se byl od sveho odjezdu z Chicaga neholil vrchni ret a honosil se jiZ dobie viditelnYm tmavYm knirkem, se do to chvile domnival, na nem nebude jeho americtvi pranic patrno. Uvitani stareho pana jej pollen() o opaku.

"Jste Mr. Hale?" tazal se nyni, rozhliZeje se pa nevelke svetnici,jeZ mela vzhled diadovny nebo knihovny.

"Ano, ja jsem Mr. Hale," odvetil pan s "kaiserbartem", nabizeje navStevnikovi pohodlnou "Nebyl bych vas nikdy hledal v takovemhle miste!"

Pan Hale si napied pfeeetl clopis chica,2ske agentury, a pak, sundav brejle a zahledev se s yYm tmavomodrym okem do tva •e hostovy, pravil: Ano, pcdivne misto, vid'te! Za trafikou!

V divadle, jet mu sice proti velkYrn americkym clivadlinn pripadalo male, ale za to krasne a bohat g i, vzbuzovaly zase jeho podiveni nadherne toilety clam a brilantove gperky svitici s nbelem z pritmi loti. Vtdycky slYchaval: uboha, vyderpana, ne gt'astna zerne — a to co dosud videl, ty chodniky ulic pine bezcline se prochazejicich, do vYkladnich skrini zevlujicich hill, ty nabite hned odpoledne kavarny a pivnice, ta bohatost jidelnich listku v restaurantech, ty drahe Ubory a nakladne §-perky ,daM --to vge mu nechtelo nikterak dati predstavu one stale pripominane chudoby a negtesti.

Washington Zavera z Chicaga se rozs oken teleznieniho vozu a stale hledal a stale nenalezal 1114.

'Ve stredu, dne 20. imora 1952.

Ale kdyby byl vial do zakulisi tivota, byl by si povzdychnul s temi, kdo pomery znaji: UbohY lid! Tolik bidy nezavinene — a je gte vice zavinene.

Za hodinu by,lu maleho kramku, jehet dvere hlidali dva na plechu namalovani Turci. Vytahle device y trafice jej pozdravito lined anglicky, pojmenovavgi jej jeho jmenem. Babka v prvnim pokoji sedela na svem miste s knihou pied sebou a s novou dlouhou pun :Cachou na pletacich dratech.

Mr Hale privital Zavoru vatne.

"Mate novinky pro mne prichystany?" zeptal se Washington, usedaje na nabidnutou "Ano, main, ale tu gim, ze jinn nebudespokojen." te MladY mut, jent ze slog tech predvidal, ze zpravy o muti, jent byl preclmetern vy getrovani nebudou tomuto priznivy, &inn odrnitavY posunek a rekl: "Jen mi reknete bez obalu v ge, Mr Hale."

"Vag hledanY mut zmizel ze sveho obydli, a nelze jej nikde nalezti."

To bylo neco, co Washington neodekaval . . Tedy ptaeek byl jit prye, bezpochyby na ceste k Chicagu. V tomtet okamtiku bleskem proletla mu hlavou vzpominka na ne gt'astnou Maryel. Misto aby se ji clostalo oeekavane podpory tak ureite ji prislibene, ectne se -pojednou bezbranna divka v tvari v tvar svemu nenavidenemu tenichovi, a bude pak vzdor jeho, Washingtonovu uji gteni o opaku, stati na rozcesti, jet mu vylieila, s rozlicenou matkou a bezohlednym tenichem na jedne strane.

Byla pouze usparia, a hotova probuditi se pH katdem prudSim zavadeni o struny srdce.

Washington se jit elatel zeplAti, kdy odjEdi nejblitti vial do severniho Nemecka, k Hamburku neb Bremam. Snad, kdyby lined odjel, by prispechal do Chicago, v eas, aby vyrval 1Viaryel z toast jejich nepkatel.

Ve sttedu, dne 20. imora 1952.

V tom iekl pan Hale: "Dovedeli jsme se ale rancho jinjrch veci o panu Hofrichterovi, jen ' vas budou zajiste zajimati." "fteknete mi, prosim, vge v rychlosti!"

"Ptedne va g hledanY zmizel, protra2e musil. Byl zadluZ'en az po krempu klobouku a vetitelove, tusici, Ze ma namiten° do Ameriky, mu byli stale v patach jako ohati gtvanemu jelenovi."

"MOZna, ze se tedy do Ameriky jegte ani nedostal!" iekl Za,vora a paprsek nadeje zaeal rozhaneti temnotu rizkostlivosti.

"Pied desiti dny ale, jak jsme dostal pan Fritz odnekud telegram, spravneji •eeeno kabelOgram. Zdroveri mu byla vyplacena telegraficka, poukazka asi na etytista korun." "tyki sta korun," iekl mladY Chica"To ripine staei na cestu do Ameriky. On jest tedy piece ji2 prye, ten biclak!"

"A tehoz dne byl viden ye svem bytu naposled!"

Washington si odleheil, ac to nemel ye ;zvyku, razovitYm americkYm zaklenim.

"Jeho domaci ale, pokraeoval Mr Hale, "jemtd byl d1Wen za nekolik mesicu ein2i, mu nedovolil odnesti z domu nieeho, a p3nevadZ najemnik slibil, si zaopatii penize, aby si mohl vge platiti, je jeho byt dodnes netknutY se vaim, co v nem byla. Ov gem domaci dodnes marne eeka na navrat sveho ndjemce a na slibene penize."

"On ujel s temi 'etykmi sty korunami do Ameriky!" iekl ptesveddive Washington.

"Neujel," vyvratil jeho mineni Mr.Hale.

"ToU nevim urdite, zdali tam nejel, ale vim ureite, ze ne s temi etytmi sty korunami. A to proto, ze jeden z jeho obezkelYch veiitelU, jen jej stopoval se zabavovachn kapesnim pravem v ruce, si jej yydiha,l, kdyZ vychazel z telegrafniho Aradu s penezi v kapse!"

"A zabavil mu je?" zeptal se clychtive Washington.

"A . zabavil mu je!" odpovedel vy getfovatel.

Washington si oddychl.

Pan Hale pokraeoval: "Ale tim neni historie jegte u konce. Onen vekitel ptigel tenief ke v gemu, co mu patfilo. Dluinikovi na jeho upenlive prosby ponechal asi desitkii na telegram, aby pnit tnohl po'lanlati o dalsi penize," "To veelloo z kapsy mho tatika, iekl si inladj% Zavora, no zrovna s

POSTMASTER Send form 3579 with undeliv erable copies to S. P. J. S. T., Fayetteville, Texas.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR OUR SINCERE CONGRATULATION must go to the pre-convention By-laws Committee that had conscientiously and admiringly worked for three days on the recommendations to improve the Bylaws. The full report of the work of this committee was given in the C'zech section of the last issue of the Vestnik. For the benefit of the English readers, we point out some of the more important recommendations.

TO START WITH, THE COMMITTEE changed Article No. 3 by giving every member to use either Czech. or English in any meeting, including the Conven-: tion. Likewise, the manner of recording will be left up to the local lodges.

ANOTHER PROPOSAL STRESSES the importance of attending the meeting of the home lodge. A member who aspires to be a delegate to the convention must have to his record not less than 50% attendance of the meetings of his home lodge. It used to be a standing joke that many a delegate . did riot attedd but one or two meetings•a year, but did not fail to show up at the annual meeting to get the honor of being elected a delegate. There will be no more premiums for unattendance.

• • ANOTHER IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION favors the creation of seven districts. The By-laws Committee is working on the plans' to divide the state into seven districts so that each district would have its own director or a permanent representative in the official family. These directors are to be elected at the convention by the delegates from the respective districts. This means that the delegates of every district would assemble sometimes during the convention, pick out two men best suited for the responsible office of 'director, elect one as a director, and the other as an alternate, and let the convention ratify the election. It certainly would place the right of selecting the best qualified men in the hand of those who can pass on the qualifications of the men so selected. It would be—in the estimation of your editon—a much better procedure than the present one where the men:

from the southern part of the state force upon the memberS of the northern part a man of doubtful qaulifications.

• • ANOTHER RECOMMEDATION has to do with the age of the officers of the Supreme Lodge. Some one must have thought that we are drifting in the direction to be afflicted with "fossilitis", and proposed an amendment that no member can be elected for the office in the Supreme Lodge who is '70 years old or more, or who would attain that age before the next regular convention. Of course, there are two sides to this argument, or may be three sides—your side, my side, and the right side. It has to be decided at the next convention. We record it for the information of the delegates. . THE BY-LAWS COMMITTEE is putting some pressure on the next convention or on the next Supreme Lodge by inserting a recommendation that it will be the duty of the Supreme Lodge to employ an agent who would train our local solicitors. Local organizers would come under his supervision.

THERE IS ONLY IMPEDIMENT in this proposed obligation of the Supreme Lodge to employ a state organizer or a supreme field manager. Practical side of the proposition is missing. The idea itself is very desirable, but it will be difficult to carry it out. For one thing, no more will be done between now and the time of the convention than what had been done by the Supreme Lodge officers in the past three and a half years. We cannot expect the officers to look for a field manager so close to the convention. And if somebody doesn't look around for a member with the right qualifications, how can the officers of the Supreme Lodge carry out the proposed obligation?

•

•

THE FOREGOING DOES NOT IMPLY that the idea of employing a state mang ager for the field workers is one. The point which your editor wishes to emphasize is that only very few of our members have an inkling of an idea about the standards of qualifications fcr

the fraternal insurance manager. The idea of employing a capable man to train other organizers is an excellent one, but we must have a workable plan to go by At present, we do not have it. And we shall hardly have it within the time between now and the next eonvention. But somebody should devote some spare time to present something more or less definite to time next convention.

THE RIGHT MAN TO DO the planning for better organizational work is the president of the Supreme Lodge. He is in charge of the organizational activities, lie supervises the work of solicitors, and he is the logical man to present to the next convention suggestions concerning the installation of a- Practica1 plan. Or if he feels that- the' scope of such planning would be too nnich .for him alone, he has the right- z-and it is his moral obligation— to call for assistance from any sincere and devoted member who would be capable of rendering such assistance.

ANOTHER APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM could be tried out. President of the Supreme Lodge could ask for volunteers who would be willing to form a pre-convention organization committee just for the purpose to study 'the needs for better organizational -Work— with no remuneration and no expenses —in order to have some practical suggestions for the delegates of the next convention. The volunteers would have to have more than just willingnes or reputation. They would have to strive to bring into the meeting of the committee plans and methods of practical application, so that the committee could, prepare a program that would be sound and permanent for all the years to come.

• ALL OF US SHOULD RECOGNIZE more keenly than ever before the vital importance of training, of the right tyr,e of education in the sale of service of life insurance. There ate other fraternal societies who offer training courses to their field workers, give them special (1.7ininations, and nrepare the salieltors Wontinued on page 20.)

ABRAHAM LINCOLN Ainerica has produced a galaxy of great men and women in sundry and various fields of human activity. The charaeter and conscience of our famous RePUblic proclaim their glory and declaretheir handiwork as skillful architects of fate. America is a mirror in which is shown the likeness of each of them irrespective of the category to which. he or she belongs.

It: has been truthfully said that some men, are born great, some achieve greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them.

The writer is of the opinion—after being a student; of Abraham Lincoln since childhood—that this unparalleled distinguished American achieved outstanding , ,greatness by virtue of his having been born great. A knowledge and understanding of the history of the childhood, youth, and manhood of this noble char acter-lead unerringly to this conclusion as, an established fact.

While,Americans reverently and enthusiastically commemorate the one hundred and forty-third anniversary of his birth, the civilized world joins with them in recognition of and respect for the 'glowing contribution that the martyred''President made to the civilization or-,mankind.

races, creeds, and colors in their struggles from weakness to power, from power to wealth, and from'slavery to freedom. It is clearly obvious that Lincoln is the star actor in this captivating drama.

The 'outstanding mark or characteristic of his nobility and greatness was the fact that he was a real man. He was simple, yet great; he was tender and gentle, yet courageous; he was tolerant, yet adamant; he was sympathetic and weak, yet strong; he was liberal, yet thorougly honest; he was a rail-splitter, yet an emancipator; he was confident, yet not arrogant; he had implicit faith in God and Christ, yet was not a church member; he was thoroughly human, yet unique; strikingly dignified, yet common; not handsome, yet possessing a hypnotic personality; unpretentious,. yet a powerful executive and sagacious statesman.

In his private letters and papers as well as in his official documents and public addresses are reflected the precious attributes of character hereinbefore indicated.

Lincoln's simple creed—by which he lived— is crowded with truth, right, and justice. It reads thus: "I am not bound to win, but I am 'bound to be true; I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right—stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong."

If nations and individuals would adopt this creed and live by it as Lincon did, we would now have in this world a better place in which to live. ) • 4, • In a Radio sidewalk interview, a woman said she had just bought. ten dresses.

This fact should prove to be a source of inspiration to struggling youth everywhere, Booker T.

Musings of the Editor (Continued from page 19.) to render finer service to the member: Such courses of study, if offered P our local solicitors by the state fiel ∎ manager would mark a great forwari step in the development of fraternal lib underwriting by cur SPJST. Withou such courses of instruction, training and education, we are groping amateur• ishly in darkness, we are talking, talking, talking.. . * WE SHOULD EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION to the By-laws committee foi inserting the new obligation to employ a supreme field manager. Maybe, if it were an elective office, we could get some young mail with college education who had majored in business administration to accept the position. But any young man with proper qualification requirements would prefer to deal with the delegates of the convention, and to be elected by the delegates, than to be hired by the 'officers of the Supreme Lodge. It is the same as if you let the editor be hired by the officers, instead of having him elected by the delegate at the convention.

IF THE PRESENT RECOMMENDA, TION, suggested by the By-laws Com-: mittee, is accepted and adopted by the next convention, the Vestnik will be eqaully divided between the Czech and English reading matter. Some of our older readers will not like it. On the other hand, there is an occasional t3111 plaint from the 'Czech readers that the Vestnik is replacing other Czech papers instead of adhering strictly to the matters dealing with fraternal insurance.

One thing cannot be disputed:—it much easier to edit the English part than the Czech section. There is a peculiar difference between the typical older Czech member and typical younger American member. The older Czech member associates his daily activities with his own ego; he becomes emotion ally aroused if his theories and ideas .3.re assailed. This difference in the de. ree to which the older members closed them selves off from others was even reflected in the old method of having the door of the lodge hall closed and two guards —the inner guard and the outer guard —posted at the entrance. The younger members are more .bolerant - MTH in what they read.

OUR NEIGHBOR'S DIAMONDS You may not know that one of our neighboring states is called the Diamond State and has a diamond in its State flag.

The only diamond mines in the Northern Hemisphere are in Pike County, near Murfreesboro, Arkansas. A diamond pr6serve has been opened to visitors, and a number of interesting and outstanding finds have been made by tourists. If you would like to get a real diamond for as little as. $1.25, plus a trip to Arkansas, read the story which follows.

But first, about the location of the diamond mine. It is 75 miles northeast of Texarkana, approximately halfway between Hot Springs and Texarkana; on a scenic, ' good, hard-surfaced highway, 21/2 miles southeast .of Murfreesboro, Ark. The first two diamonds discovered in Arkansas were found in the crater of diamonds on August 7, 1906.

At the crater of diamonds, in the diamond preserve, a tourist atraction is operated by the company, Diamond Preserve of the United States, Inc.- To reach the entrance 21/2 miles from the courthouse one drives due south on a newly paved city street. There are no turn-offs and the road is well marked.

Upon reaching the entrance to the diamond preserve a beautiful drive, Diamond Lane leads to the ticket office and wet-weather parking area. The admission charge is $1.25 for adults and 35 cents for children, tax added. Clean, comfortable restrooms for both white and colored adjoin the parking lot.

During dry weather visitors are permitted to park their cars under the big shade trees by the office-museum building. The entrance gate is open from 9 until 5, 7 days a week during the winter months.

Upon registering in the office-muSell .11 building, seeing a display of Arkansas diamonds in the rough, a mineral display, exact replicas of historic diamonds of the world, a fluorescent exhibit, and hearing a lecture on Arkansas' crater of diamonds, the vIsitorrs are taken by guides on a tour of the crater area. After the various formations occurring in the volcanic pipe have been pointed out and the geological phenoMen: n explained visitors are permitted to search for diamonds. They are most ciffictilt to find but regardless of the number found only one will 'be given with an appropriate certificate' after the company's appraisal. If the diamond weighs 5 carats or less it will be given absolutely free. In case the diamond weighs more than 5 carats a royalty and any tax due must be paid by the finder.

The tour usually lasts from an hour to an hour and a half. On it some of the

old diamond mining equipment used in former operations is pointed out and explained. A small diamond hand-washing machine built by Henry Ford in Dearborn, Mich., in the early 1920's when he was negotiating for purchase of the crater has been powered with an electric motor and set up for operation.

Effective November 1, 1951, visitors de-' siring will be permitted to try their luck with it under the same rules outlined above.

Since the discovery in 1906 it is estimated that 100,000 diamonds have been recovered totaling approximately 45,000 carats. The Arkansas diamonds are harder than those found in South Africa, South Wales, India, and Brazil and are absolutely perfect and equal to the finest stones found at the Jagersfontein mine or that were ever found in India.

The largest diamond so far reported weighed 40.23 carats. It is known as the Uncle Sam and today, cut, weighs 12.27 carats.

The diamond preserve was officially opened to visitors on February 20, 1951.

Thirteen outstanding finds have been made by tourists. The first day a diamond of the finest white type weighing 0.12 carat was found by Richard Buhlis,, 1006 Park Avenue, Hot Springs, Ark.

•_ Texans are in the lead on finding diamonds but Mr. Bibbons of Missotri has found three, one of which Is the largest so far found by a tourist. Visitors' have registered at the diamond pieserve from every State in the Union, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and seven foreign 'coon= tries. They are Canada, Mexico, England, South Africa, the Virgin Islands, Austria, and Arabia.

Although Murfreesboro is a' town of aproximately 1,200 people it is the county seat of Pike County. There is a comfortable hotel, the Conway, with 25 rooms available, and rates from '$1 to $1.25 per person, up. All the roornS'. have hot and cold running water and some have baths. In connection with the hotel is a modern coffee, shop. There are also three small cafes and one barbecue stand in the town. ) • 46 • ( ELECTION YEAR

Abraham Lincoln, planning his, earn.; paign for Congress in 1846, wrote a legal' associate that he supposed he'd have to see about getting a "few dollars to rub together." Times have changed. It costs money--important money—to run for public office today. If you plan to run for Governor of your state, or for , the U. S. Senate, you should know where to lay your, hands on $50,000—and perhaps a good deal more. That is just for preliminary expenses. If you are successful in securing the nomination, the party will then shoulder a substantial part of the expenses.

Taking the states as an average, total-. ing the expenses of all candidates in all parties, it certainly costs a minimum of a million dollars to elect a Governor, a U. S. Senator and the various Represen tatives. Costs have risen faritasically. certain U. S. Senator, from a Western state was elected with an investment of about $50,000. Six years later, his campaign for re-election cost $150,000— and he lost the race! A campaign manager in another state admits the party backing his candidate for governor spent,, $1 a vote—approximately $300,000. He too, lost at the polls. Harold E. Stassen says he expects to raise $500.000. for his Presidential campaign. The others aren't talking.

Rent for headquarters, telephones, postage, printing are only a few of the items. Radio and television are impor tant factors and run into big money.

Th e Right Kind of Leadership There is no man so high or so loW that he cannot profit from good advice. A man who shuns counsel when he can get it may be commended for faith and courage in himself, but he is courting disaster. It has been said that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. A leader who listens only to those on whom he has bestowed favors will find he has fools for advisers.

A leader should at all times strive to be worthy of public office rather than be concerned with holding public office.

Honest men can and do have differences.

Honest men can and do make mistakes.

There have been rascals among leaders, but the scoundrel is found out. Disgrace comes inevitably at the hands of his party, the opposition, the people, or the judgment of history. Leadership is more than a political game. It is a career of infinite capabilities of service. At no time have capabilities for service been greater than they are today for a leader who would lead the way of destiny.

In this century we have known two world conflicts. Each time we have won the war and lost the peace. These two holocausts are the evil roots of all our present-day problems. War is the most fiendish evil which spawns a host of lesser evils. War makes murder holy. Its reward is theft. It smiles at all manner of laxity. War has always been ghastly.

It is a thousandfold more so with the unchaining of new and monstrous 'forces of destruction.

Our national and individual standards suffered from the impact of World War I around the world. They were more severely jolted by World War II. They are now being shredded by the prospect of still another global contest. We cannot teach men to kill and to steal and to laUgh at convention without paying the price. It is amazing that our system has survived the impact of these succesive blows.

It is for our leaders today and the leaders coming from your generation to dedicate themselves to still greater efforts of service today. Let us then not surrender or grumble or give way to dissent. Let us rather make ready to welcome leaders who will lead us as free people should be led, us seek and support leaders who will lead men by giving them faith in themselves and in their faith.

THE SIGNIFICANT GRADUATION e Fireman's Record, official paper of the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company,' published for ,the benefit of its Members as we publish our Vestnik, we found an article which should be read by every one of cur young members.

I t was written by Nelson Valjean about a girl whb by her valiant fight emerged froin the lonely world of the deaf and blind. It is a story of America's new Helen Keller.—Editor, When the radiant blonde stepped up for her high-school diploma, she unexpectedly turned to her teachers out front with a warm little speech of appreciation and farewell. Concluding, she blew a kiss to a spectator, accepted her sheepskin and gracefully retired.

The audience sat spellbound, hushed absolutely, for the golden-haired girl was totally deaf and blind and only a few years ago could neither talk nor walk. Spinal meningitis had left a helpless robot.

The miracle of the new Jackie Gennoi Coker, honor student, had evolved largely from a mother's devotion—from the love of a slight, graying woman who sat with her husband in this auditorium of the California School for the Blind at Berkeley. Now as Mrs. Coker caught the blown kiss, she saw her lovely daughter become the nation's only deaf-blind high school graduate of that year, It was in Coolidge, Arizona, on Armistice Day, 1935, that freckled tomboy Jackie—named for her father—rode home on horseback feeling ill. Only the week before the robust seven-year-old, in a blazing red cowgirl blouse, had captured a, prize-in the Coolidge:: rodeo parade. Her sponsor, Deputy Sheriff Asa Gardner, had jokingly remarked he'd better look out or some day she would be wearing his badge.

Jackie's mother put her to bed, chiding, "You probably ate too much candy, but you can skip your lessons tonight," To Mrs. Coker, lessons every night were important, for Jackie's education had long been her dream. "Tomorrow you'll feel better," she added.

Instead the tomboy grew speedily worse, ran a high fever, and a silent darkness enfolded her. She lost sense of balance and muscle co-ordination.

The meningitis next destroyed her wordforming memory, garbling her speech until her mother barely fathomed it. Her condition was feared hopeless.

Eventually Coolidge neighbors gently suggested that Mrs. Coker place this pathetic "thing" in some institutiion where she could receive 24-hour-a-day

care through the years. "You must part quickness, Mrs. Coker wondered if her with Jackie— and try to forget," they daughter, after all, might not be edu, catedi—a little. Scarcely daring, she resaid.

In 1946 Jackie entered Berkerley's California Sehool for the Blind, and her parents bought a little home near Napa., some miles away. While Mr. Coker worked in town, Mrs. Coker resumed dressmaking and, did her voluble best at selling chickens and eggs—for Jackie's sake, of course, Also, single-handedly, she built her daughter a two-room addition onto the house, complete to foundation and wiring. Both Mrs. Coker's husband and doetor, fearing for her health, begged a halt. She kept. working.

Meanwhile in Berkeley, Jackie was gathering almost straight "A's" in a high-school course that .included English, German, French, physiology, biology, music, algebra, geometry, American literature and history—preparation career. The deaf-blind girl who used to clasp sticks, now played the piano, gave "song recitations," danced, and, with a partner, even roller skated.

Though now 21 and a tomboy no longer she treasured—and often wore—ther keepsake.

On graduation day — May 22, 1949 — Mr. and Mrs. Coker arrived at the Berkeley school auditorium early. Few here knew the story of this woman's consecration to a child who had seemed to others a hopeless burden, of her struggles, her boundless faith and inspiring singleness of purpose. In an age where there was much indifference toward children, her acts, to intimate friends, shone out like a beacon. Only now would she slow down.

But this was Jackie's day.

As the once wordless robot addressed her audience at diploma time, Mr. Coker whispered to his wife, "Did you ever hear our daughter talk more beautifully?"

There was no answer. Mrs. Coker had become speechless herself.

Strana 25 the Music Hall Sunday February 17 has been postponed because of Mr. Luka's illness.

It will be ,given- March 9.

WATCH YOUR WEIGHT Are you overweight? If you are, if you are over 40 and refuse to do anything about it, do you know you are deliberately cutting your life's span? Sounds rather harsh,' doesn't it? But let's look at a few statistics. For every 100 persons of normal weight who die, 144 who are 15 to 24 percent overweight pass on and 175 persons who are over 25 percent overweight die. And if you go into the rate for specific diseases, the rate jumps tremendously, for example the rate for overweight diabetics is 257.

We have tackled a number of various diseases here in the Vestnik in an attempt to bring our membership a little- more information on them and to help them to be healthier and live longer if we possibly can. Now no disease we have treated so far can have any more important bearing on the health of our members than this one, for- overweight is the contributing cause of many, ailments which beset the hu man race. We're going to mention Underweight and what may be done about it jjoo, but so few people are underweight in comparison to our slightly and more than just slightly heavy friends, and with much less serious consequences, that we shall devote the most of this article to the 28 percent of all Americans who are the heavyweights.

First let's review what being overweight does to our systems. It definitely shortens life by adding burdens to the heart and circulatory system. Deposits ,cf fat interfere with the use of food and cause excessive hunger and thirst, as in diabetes. Fat adds many unnecessary miles of blood vessels through which the heart must pump blood, and this added work causes that faithful muscle to wear out soon. For every 10 pounds of -fat gained, about one half mile of additional capillary blood vessels must be developed -to nourish this extra tissue.

No wonder the poor heart muscle which has not rested a whole minute (in consecutive seconds) since its owner was born, is likely to give up when several miles of blood vessels are added to its regular trek.

For every person over 40, overweight is a danger signal. Studies of life insurance: tables show that in addition to heart disease and diabetes, overweight people develop that other killer, high blood pressure, as well as other lifeshortening conditions much earlier, and are apt to die much younger than persons whose weight is normal. They are poor .surgicarrisks and have less resistance to infection. Gallbladder disease and gallstones are so frequently associated with overweight, that obesity and

overeating are generally accepted as contributing causes to the formation ofl gallstones. Treatment for gallstones is generally surgery. The man or woman I who is 25 'or 30 pounds overweight will have a deposit of fat varying from one to five inches thick over the abdominal wall. This fat is much slower than muscle or other tissue in healing and much more likely to become infected. Danger of rupture and pneumonia is also much greater.

For your health's sake then, if you are .overweigK resolve to do Aomething about it today.

Nov, what to do. First, what makes a person fat? The commonest theory offered these days, is that "glandular trouble" causes obesity. This is a nice way out and a saving to one's pride. Of course there are some people whose overweight is truly caused by their thyroid or pituitary but — let's face it — these persons are few. Medical science has proved that out of 100 obese persons, perhaps five have an endocrine gland disturbance. The other 95 simply eat too much.

Another common excuse is that obesity is inherited. "We're all fat—it runs in our family." A nice explanation but very seldom true. Careful studies have been made in laboratories cf obese individuals making such claims and no variation from normal metabolism has been found in their cases. What has been discovered about heredity, however, is that excessive appetites sometimes run in families. This is a human factor that can be controlled and controlled (selfcontrolled is a better word) consistently for even a short period of time, will be lost.

Yes, most people are fat simply because they eat too much. This does not necessarily mean that they stuff themselves with food. It just means that they take in more calories than their bodies can use up. This is sometimes very easy to do if a person has poor eating habits.

The girl who eats several doughnuts and a "coke" for lunch has consumed a lot of calories without really being nourished. The man who drinks two or three glasses of beer and eats a couple of hot dog sandwiches of an evening, has added about a thousand calories to his daily intake, over an above his regular three meals.

In young people, extra, amounts of food consumed are used up in energy.

We've all seen the thin, lanky young adollescent consume more food daily than three working men, without adding an ounce of fat to his lean frame.

What we fail to realize in our own cases

is that the body's energy reuirements usually change after 30 or 40. As a person gets older, metabolism slows down and fewer calories are needed to maintain weight.

Okay, so we know the dangers of overweight, we know why we're overweight, what do we do?

We cut dOwn on food. Nov no rigid diets and absolutely no drugs should be taken without the advice of .a physician.

The best reducing programs are those undertaken under a doctor's care.

But if you are .overweight, begin today to do something about it. Anyone who wants to get rid of excess-poundage can do so. Sure it takes grit and perseverance and determination but it can be done.

And it pays dividends. You'll feel better, healthier, more alert. You'll look better too. Clothes will fit smoothly again and you'll get a real thrill out of that size smaller suit or dress you buy next time.
