DEDICTVi A ZIVOTNi POJ gTtNi NOHO bylo jit tedeno ohledne M potteby zaueovani naSich organisatort, aby vedeli vice o tivotnim pojigt'ovani a jeho prodeji. Zde chci popsati, jak nahodou jsem vyslechnul jednu z nejlepSich a nejstruenejSich lekci o tivotnim pojiSt'ovani ye vlaku mezi San Antonio a Houstonem od eloveka, ktereho jsem piedtim neznal. Byla to shoda okolnosti, ze jsme se seznamili.

Koncem srpna roku 1947 vraceli jsme se domil ze studijni testy republikou Guatemala. Bylo nas pies tticet. Zastavili jsme na tYden v hlavnim meste Mexika.

Net ptigel den naSeho odjezdu, cesta no. sever byla prutrti mraeen v pohoti Sierra Madre Oriental na dvou odlehlYch mistech znieena a zatarasena. Zbyly dva zpfisoby cestovani, bud' letadlem v ptime lince do Houstonu anebo autobusem yelikou oklikou na severozapad, pak severovYchodne, pak rovnou severne.

Nekteti rozhodli se zUstati v Mexiku cialk tyden nebo dva, at se cesta uvolni.

Asi pet nebo Sest jich odletelo. Mezi nhni byl vftice naM vypravy, Dr. Werlin, kterY v nekolika mad° dnech mel bYti jeSte na Kube. Zbytek nas, tiiadvaeet, poeitaje v to Dra. Karla Gamo. z Ceskoslovenska, rozhodli jsme se pro cestovani oklikou autobusem. Dr. Werlin mi svetil dohled nad celou skupinou cestujicich.

Meli jsme vyjeti v nedeli odpoledne, ale jedna z nejmladSich studentek, 191eta holka z Houstonu, nam v posledni chvili onemocnela. Zavolali jsme k ni lekafe a odjezd jsme °Malin o cely den.

Radili jsme ji, aby vzala letadlo, ze bude doma za sedm hodin. Chtela vAak mermomoci s nami a prohlaSovala, ze jeji zdravi je uspokojive, aby cestu vydrtela.

Opozdili jsme se taktka tticet hodin.

Vyjeli jsme v pondeli veder po dukladne vedeti. Nemocne device pooktalo, ale pfed odjezdem telegrafovalo svYm rodidarn o nagem zpozdeni. Pozdeji Dr. Gam mi prozradil, ze ma sebou le.hvieku HoffmanskYch kopek jeSte z Ceskoslovenska, tak jsme (levee cestou lain.

Dye nod a den jeli jsme pies osm mexickYch stet& Posledni zasteska byla ku snidani v Sabirms Hidalgo, asi 75 mil Wine od Laredo. Kdyi jsme se koneene ocitli opet na Ode Texasu, na celnici v Laredo, byl mne mou pacientkou piedstaven slane ustrojeny mut prosttedniho veku: "Mr. Valeik, zde je maj tatinek."

Z Laredo at do Houstonu meli jsme zvlaStni teleznieni vuz. V San Antonio jsme zastavili na vedeti. Dr. Gam, naSe pacientka, jeji otec a ji sedeli jsme u jednoho stolku. Tim dostali jsme se do utSiho hovoru. Cestou do Houstonu ptisednul otec deveete na me sedadlo. Pti teei podal mi svou navStivenku, na nit stab°, ze je zastupcem pojiSt'ujici spolednosti.

"Prodavartli tivotni pojiSteni, ale moji specialitou je urovnani dedienYch taletitosti," sdeloval mi intj spoleenik.

Nechapal jsem. 26,da1 jsem jej, aby mi vysvetlil. Napadlo rime, ze asi je advokatem, kterY urovnava nejake nesrovnalosti pri vyplaceni tivotniho pojiSteni.

AvSak jeho porriala a ptesvedeujici mluva, jeho klidne vysvetlovani, jeho ton hlasu by spiSe prozrazovaly lekate net advokata.

Od tohoto nahodileho spoleenika nabyl jsem Upine noveho poznani, co znamena Zivotni pojiWni a jakYm zpilsobem prodavaji pojfSteni ti, ktefi venuji tomuto povolani pinY sviij das. Z feel, mei° spoleenika pochopil jsem, ze pojiSt'ujici jednatel mute se pohybovat mezi lope situovanymi lidmi, kde jeho povolani je povaZovano za rovnocenne a stejne Zadouci jako kterehokoliv jlneho profesionada. A take jsem pochopil, ze zamotnY elovek hledi vyutitkovati tivotni poji gteni v daleko vetSi mite net elovek s menMm majetkem nebo. elovek chudobnY. mai spoleenik se ptiznal behem naSeho rozhovoru, to jeho specialitou je prodej tivotniho pojiSteni lidem zamolnYin, aby ehranili dediee sveho majetku pied jistou a ureitou ztratou.

Stale jsem nechapal, at mile to podal v eislicich. Vysvetlil mi, ze katdY snativY elovek, je hrdY na svtij majetek, sve Uspory, protote je to znamka jeho energie, fispechu, zruenosti. Katdy rozSafny olovek ma uspokojujici pocit, ze dedictvi po nem bude chraniti jeho rodinu, at jednou odejde. Stoji si dobte, naSettil majetku za $25,000 nebo $50,000. Na torn rodina vyjde, mysli si. Jente jeho rodina nedostane tech $25,000. Kdyt majitel zerate, na majetek jeho jsou okamtite uvaleny ureite a nevyhnutelne pohledavky.

Majetek piejde do rukou vykonavatele posledni vale, jehot povinnosti je ptevesti eele dedictvi do vlastnictvi zakonitYch dedicu. tTmrtim majitele jako by byl na celY majetek uvalen nahle hypoteCni dluh. Jsou to pohtebni vYlohy, vydani za lekate, probatni soud, vyhotoveni listin, advokatftv poplatek, done statni a vladni, ptenos majetku, rekordovani, takte $25,000 majetku scvrkne se o nejakYch $6,000; $50,000 se zmenSi o $9,560; a stotisicovY majetek se srazi o $18,550.

"Moje speeialita je," vykladal muj spolednik, "abych pro zamotne lidi upravil pomoci tivotniho pojiSteni tento hypoteeni dluh tak, aby ho nebylo. Kdyt zamotnY elovek zemte, jeho dedicove ztrati od 18% do 45% dedictvi. Kdyt si ale bohatY elovek koupi takove tivotni pojiSteni, ktere by hradilo tuto ztratu od 18% do 45%, je to nejrozumnejSi, nejlacinejSi a nejpraktietejSi vyfeSeni vSech tech nesnazi pfivodenYch kaZdYm Umrtim.

VYznamne vYrooi pfipadlo na minulY patek. Dne 7. bkzna bylo vYroei Masarykovych narozenin. Redaktor mel pripray en k tomuto dni delsi elanek, ale stab se. ze minule 'Oslo Vestniku muselo byti venovano zalektostem spolkovYm. Vyjiintim z olanku, kterY jsem jiZ hodil takrka do ko g e, nektere zajimavefk body.

Neda mi, abych nevzponmel Masaryka a toho, jakYm zPilsobern se zapsal do srdce nine, chudemu vala.kkenau chlapci. Pray e jsem dokon6oval navAtevu °beetle Simly, kdy na Valakku zaealo se mluvit o tom, ze za poslance do rikkeho snemu se uchazi profesor Masaryk. Byla to novinka pro ten chudobnY kraj. VZdyt' v tech skalnatYch loktech zeme, ktera zdala se vsude bYti pokryta jen studenYna jilem a Zadnou hlinou, v tom chuclobnem kraji, o kterem jsme rikali, ze byl Bohem i lidmi zapomenutY, byla, to novinka.

V2clyt' Valakko bYvalo celkove neuvefitelne zaostale. Byla tam mista a male dedinky, kde lide neverili v koupani, aby tak se branilo nakaZlivYm chorobam vniknouti PPes kat do tela. Ovkin, byly v tomto kraji rortroukny svetle ky lidi t y rdYch a nepodclajnYch, potom-

ci nekdePich eeskYch bratii, kteri do hor utikali a do stromii schovavali poklady svYch otcu. Nebylo to zlato a stribro, ale Bible Kralicka a Labyrint sveta. Takove pamatky a poldady byly az po sto letech nalezeny zarostle v kmeni, jak se to stalo, kdy poraaena byla dut y lipa u Vsetina. Ovkm, v tech letech, kdy jsem chodil do Skoly, pronikala, ha do kraje socialni demokracie, jerrae vetSina lidi se divala na ty, kdo hlasili demokratismus, jako na zaprodane d'ablu. I my mall hoSi jsme s jakousi hrazou ukazovali prstem na nejakeho Martina Kanaka, ze je socialnim demokratem a slykli jsme starAi lidi ikati, ae fadeji by Kanakovi aby si nohu zlomil, nez aby prekroeil prah domu "svYch sousedn.

Masaryk eaeal dojiitleti do cluideho vala g skelio kraje a kolem neho tvorily se skupiny lidi, kteri zaeali probouzeti vlalaSskY lid ze zatuchleho spanku. Lid za' ba i Cal Cisti Casopisy Rovnost, 6ervanky, satiricka RaSple se objevila a pUjeovala.

Prvni upominku na Masaryka rnam, ae dostal se nam, Akolakian, do rukou letak, v nema byla otisknuta Masarykova piednaAka, kterou pronesl v sale Delnickeho domu na Vsetine. Nektere yYzna,ene body vynoruji se v pameti. Prikladne Masaryk vysvetloval, co je to bYti pokrokovYm: "Miluj blianiho sveho jako sebe sameho. A kdo je vas bliani? Ten bohatY vaSi pomoci nepotrebuje, ten si pomtae sam. Ale ten chudY, ten va,Si lasky a pomoci potrebuje." To bylo pro nas chude a y eene hladove deti nova evangelium, ktere zanechalo nesmazatelnY dojem.

Tenkrate Masaryk mluvil k lidu o Skodlivosti alkoholu. Odsuzoval koraleeni zlo, na ktere ValaSi tolik ttpeli. Poukazoval, ze v kaZde dedince je nekolik putyk, hosptidek a obchodil s lihovinami, a ani jedna knihovna. My hoS1 jsme pak poeitali, vedle kolika hospod jsme pre g li cestou do S jakYmsi reformatorskYrn zanicenim jsme si opakovali Masarykil y vYrok, "Zde se prodava jed, kterY umrtvuje cit a duk". Vyriistali jsme v abstinenty a nekuraky jako 1Vlasaryk.

MasarykovYm protikandidatem byl nejakY Povondra. 0 nem my, kluci, vedeli jsme pouze tolik, ze byl majitelem pahrebniho Ustavu. Povondrova Cegtina byla povestna. 0 tom jsme Cetli zase ye ValaSskYch Novinach, ze Povondra mluvil "o tych vecach" a ae se to stalu"na dkor a pro vYvin tern vecom" a podobne.

To east° i my S • kolaci jsme poznali, Povondrovy byly pate pies devdte a ze to nemelo jadra.

0 torn, jak ail Masaryk v srdci. Valachd, svedel, ze nekteri povaaovali Masaryka dokonce za, prestrojeneho korunniho prince Rudolfa, syna cisare FrantfAka Josefa. Rudolf ova tragicka smrt, obestrena tajemnosti a zahadami, byla Zivnou pfidou fantastickYch bachorek. Jednu ta-

Ve str:edu, due 12, hrema kovou povidaeku nasal Ism az zde v Americe v malem spisku "Vsacane sobe": StrYc MrnuStikil vykladal: To se, myslim, ani nema, povida.t dnes, kdya je republika, ale povim varn to piece beztoho to nevite, ae president Masaryk je princ Rudolf. A ted' strYc Mrnatikti se &gime rozvykladal, ze pry ten princ je velice dobry elovek a mel dobre srdce. Ale byl velice nal:11y, a na jedne cisarske hosting, kde vS. ichni "hlavaei" z Vidne byli pohromade, pry mu jeden mladY aid rekl bratre. A ten princ pry na to vytahnul Savli a toho aida za to probodnul. Ale nebylo pry to jen tak, to byl mladY Rod'Sild a cisar mel od stareho RodSilda vypujeenych mot penez a to takova, vac mezi mladYin RodSildem a princem. Tak pry se princ sebral a odejel do Ruska, protoae rusk car byl princovi kmochaekem.

Ale princ nemel v Rusku pokoj, prestrojil se za obyeejneho eloveka a potom za profesora a vratil se nazpatek. Tak se dostal as na ValaSsko, kde si ho Vala g i zvolili za poslance a sal zpdtky do Vidne.

Ale to tra byl y e velike vaanosti a vyhla.'AenY. Do na g ich spolkotr Ych knihoven redaktor by odporueoval nadhernou knihu o Masarykovi, ktera je malo znama, a kterou sepsal Dr. Jan Herben. Vice nea padesat let Masaryk a Herben spolu pracovali a bojovali. A z dtiverneho pratelstvi tech padesati let napsal Herben ve svych sedmdesati letech knihu, kterd je varnSujicim romanem aivota a dtistojnou oslavou Masaryka. Mate-li prileaitost, poiid'te si do sve spolkove knihovny "T. G. Masaryk" od Jana Herbena. Je to kniha ukazujici, ae Masaryktv aivot je souborem veSkere narodni moudrosti, a ae kdykoliv je deskY Clo y & v pochybnostech nebo na rozcesti, ulnae se ku knize a k popisu aivota Masarykova vady vratit, aby sebe upevnil. Redaktor vdeei bratru Vaclavu 1VIara g kovi v Houstonu za pujeeni teto y zacne knihy.

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS

nmohY mladgi etenai: obeas sahne pc> eeske east, kdyt pfijde nalada a volna kdy snati se podchytiti nee() noveho i z deske Bylo by zahodno, aby ustanoveni dvou dopisovateln bylo zavedeno u dalgich

dY bedlivy glen v okoli Corpus a kaidY delegat od katdeho tadu v okruhu sedmdesati mil nebo i sto mil, ba i ve vzdalenosti sto padesat mil, byl v teto schuzi v Corpus pfitomen. Hlavni fitednici slibill, ze se zfidastni.

Cas od easu je upozorneni, aby elenove, kteti meni sve adresy anebo nedostavaji Vestnik pro jakoukolik pfidinu, dopsali valy na Hlavni fitadovnu ve Fayetteville.

Neuplyne snad ani jeden tYden, aby redaktoru nebyl poslan dopis, by Vestnik byl elenu zasilan na jinou adresu. Nekdy se glen i durdi, "ut jsem Ti dvakrat psal", nebo podobne. Katclou podobnou tadost redaktor posila neodkladne, a rad tak Avgak kdyby elenove si uvedomili, vgechny zmeny adres jsou provadeny -v Hlavni fitadovne, mohli by si vytizeni dodavky uspigiti. Proto znovu upozornujeme, pigte ptimo do Fayetteville, lestli chcete zmeniti adresu nebo nedostavale organ.

Kandy delegat ma dal gi ptiletitost prostudovati si znovu cele stanovy se vgemi odporueenYmi opravami, jak bylo uvefejneno v minulem 'isle Vestniku. Nemelo by bYti namitek, ze Stanovni vYbor nee° vypracoval a neptedlottl elenum. Od nynejSka do sjezdu zbYva, ptes deset tydnu, vice net tii mesice. Nemelo by na Ulm sjezdu bYti ani jednoho delegata, kterY by se hlasil o vysvetleni, jak to nebo ono bude pracovat. 0 techto nejasnYch bodech je oteviena diskuse nyni, bud' u tadu, nebo ye skupinach elenn, nebo prostfednictvim Vestniku. V dobe mesicii se kahly mute ptiueiti nebo nejasne body nechati si yysvetliti, jestli si • toho pfeje.

Je j6te jiny zpiisob, jak se delegati mohou poueiti. Cetli jste oznameni od du Praha dislo 29, kde tajemnik onoho tadu, bratr BoudnY, pile a jmenem tadu Prahu svolava pfedsjezdovou schnzi delegatil a elenfi okolnich tadd na tfeti nedeli v dubnu. Zde je velice vhodna, latheMost, aby delegati vymenili mezi sebou sve nahledy, pohovotili si o torn nebo onom a docilili aslion v nekterYch, otazkach jednotne myglenky. Pak na sjezdu zajiste by odpadlo dotazovani a vysvetlovani aspon od tech delegatn, ktefi by jit pfedem se "vypovidali". A ponevadt Hlavni fitadovny budou ten pfitomni one schuzi, nejedna otazka bude v Taylor, dne 20. dubna, ptedlotena a vysvetlena. Bratti ye sttednim Texasu, nezapomerite na tuto schfizi a vezmete dove sestry sebou.

Podobne upozorindeme na projektovanou distriktni schuzi v Corpus Christi. Je svolana brattimi z Corpus na pti gti nedeli do Sokolovny za mestem. V ohledu na okolnost, ae Stanovni vYbor ten doporueuje rozdeleni statu na sedm organisa(mich bude zahodno, by kat-

Nemame stejne nabledy a katdY hledime na sve povinnosti ze sve stranky. Jako ti dva domkati v kopcich: Jeden si meal pochvalovati peknY jarni den, ze je ut dosti sucho a pkijemne, aby se pustil do °rani. Jeho soused ptesunul fajfku do druheho koutku, pak ji vyndal z fist, odplivnul si, a po chvilce pronesl svuj nahied: "Otec nebesky stvotil svet tak, jak ma bYt. Na' bych ja jim hYbal a ho ptevracel?"

PH vzponnnkich na Masaryka pfichazi na mysl, ze Masaryk mel vtdy v rameaku ye sve pracovne proslulou baseri anglickeho spisovatele Rudyarda Kiplinga "If—", zaeinajici slovy "If you can keep your head". Kdysi pied lety otisknul jsem ve Vestniku vergovank pteklad a napsal jsem o basni deli pojednani, ale dnes jsou verge lit ztraceny. Basnik Kipling vlotil do s yYch verso otcovskou radu svemu synu, jakoby psal tivotni smernice.

Pravi v basni "Jestlite" mimo line: Budeg mutem, mnj synu, jestlite umi g si zachovati rozvahu, kdyt v gichni kolem tebe ji ztraceji a hani tebe, ze ty ji ztracig; umig-li Wit sobe, kdy vgichni o tobe pochybuji, ale dovedeg-li jim dovolit, aby pochybovali; — eekat a neunavit se eekanim; nebo jsi-li obelhavan, sam nelti; — jsi-li nenaviden, sam bud' bez nenavisti; umig-li snit a nedelat sny svkin panem; dovedeg-li snesti, kdyt pravdu, kterou jsi vyslovil, nidemoye pfekruciiji, aby z ni udelali past pro ty, kteii nevedi lope; — nebo dovede g-Ii se divat, kdyt se hrouti veci, pro net jsi obetoval tivot, a pak se sehnout a budovat je znovu, a prohraje g-li, zaeit zase ze zaeatku a nikdy ani slovem nevzdechnouti o sve ztrate; dovede g-li donutit sve srdee a nervy a glachy, aby ti slou-; tili jegte dlouho potom, kdyt jsou zmoteny, a tak vydrtet, kdyt uz v tobe neni nic jineho net vtle, ktera, k Min pravi: yydrtet! — s davem a zachovat si sve etnosti, nebo chodit s krali a neztracet styk s obyeejnYm lidem; — jestlite to nemohou ranit ani nepfatele, ani milujici ptatele; jestlite dovedeg napiniti minutu gedesati vtetinami, ktere stoji za to — pak tva, bude-zeme a v geNeni nahodile, chno, co je na ni. tuto baseri cituji. Meli bychom vgichni sta.yet sve vile nad denni zlobu a miti kfest'anskou blahO yfili k lidem, ktefl nom Potfebujeme slov basne "Jestlite" ye spolkovena tivote vice net v soukromern. Nemeli bychom vystavovati na vefejnost sva zklamani, sve natty, syoje rany. Pracovat a myslit pro dobro lidi,

V rubrice EnniskS, Vestnik, kterou pot Ada bratr Jos. Vytopil v tYdeniku 6echoslovaku, rozebird v minulem eisle kolega Vytopil mySlenku budovy pro Hlavni Ufadovnu a pti torn vysvetluje, jak to pra.cuje jinde. Vzal si za vzor Narodni SlovenskY Spolek, kterY je o sedm rokii stargi net nag e SPJST, ma asi 840. tadu (v roce 1944 mel 914 tan) a 28, 542 Clem), (v roce 1944 mel 33,630), a 'Menu stale ubYva. Bratr Vytopil spravne vysvetluje, ze tento SlovenskY Spolek vlastnil svoji iffadovnu, stala na vysokem kopci a snad panum AfednikAm bylo tetko choditi do kopeeka, proto prodali Utadovnu se ztratou jeden a 01 milionu dolaru. — Koupili Ufadovnu v obchodni dasti mesta Pittsburghu, ale aby to klapalo dobfe, tak musel katclY Men zaplatit hotove 65 dolarU, a to bylo pfieinou, ze ztratili hodne 'Menu. V nynejAi budove, ve ktere ma tento 'spolek hlavni Ufadovnu, take maji svoji tladiarnu tiskarnu ye kterd tisknou jejich spolkovY organ. Maji v gechno pod jednou eepici — ale nepomalui to. U tohoto spolku elenove plati na organ 96 centfi za 52 eisel, od 27 tisic elenn mane to dela $15,360. Organ jest tisknut uniovYmi delniky a vydat tYclenni jedno vydani stoji okolo $600.00. Za rok to obnagi kolem 32 tisic dolaru. Zfistava deficit — schodek — 16 tisic dolaru. Jedna tuna papiru roku 1946 stala s dovozem $50.50 a v roce 1951 s dovozem stala jedna tuna novinatskeho papiru $127.50.

Prace roku 1946 stala za hodinu $1.54, roku 1951 ut stala $2.78 za hodinu, a k. tome 29 centn na hodinu na zdravotni a nernocenske poji gteni. Pojigteni strojt'4 a oprava ,vy glo take vY ge. Poeet platiciho elenstva na organ se katclYm mesicem zmenguje nasledkem amrti, vystoupenim a slabYm ziskavanim elenstva.

S dfivody bratra Vytopila souhlasi redaktor Vestniku opine. Sem tam yyskoeila jit poznamka, te by se na gi SPJST vyplatilo, kdyby Jednota mela svoji tiskarnu. Redaktor upozornil, ze podobny nahled se vyskytne v feed mezi deny a nikdy i nekterY hlavni Utednik nee() nafkne a nedopovi jakoby to byla dobra myglenka. Dle Usudku redaktora by 8e vlastnictvi tiskarny na gi Jednote nikdy nevyplatilo. Jestli jsme nikdy nemeli boleni hlavy k vuli gpatnYm bondum a investicim v pozemcich, s vlastnictvim tiskarny bychom boleni hlavy jste dostali. A jestlite jsme nikdy na nieem neprodela.vali, pak bychom zaeali prodelavat od sameho zaeatku na vydavani organu.

Kandy, kdo vi jen gpetku o zatizeni tiskarny, to dosvedei. To radeji pet domovu pro stance net jednu tiskArml. To ra-

&Tana 4 deji deset statnich organisatorn rad jednoho reditele tiskarny. Dokud na'S organ jest tisknut v zavodu, kde se tisknou jine publikace, je to pro naSi SPJST nejvYhodnejE AZ zaeneme mluvit, o vlastni tiskarne, o rediteli tiskarny, o sazeeich, tiskarich, oznamkatich, expediterech a ruznYch tech zamestnancich tiskarny, pak teprve to poleze do tisicu kaZdYm mesicem. Dejte pokoj s takovYmi napady.

13ud'rne radi, Ze se ndS" organ tiskne v pri-vatnirn zavodu a Ze starost, jak se tiskarna vyplaci, je starosti nekoho jineho.

To, Ze tiskopisy a organ potrebujeme, neznamend jeSte, abychom se do tiskarstvi sami .poti$teli. Mame mnohem daleZitej gily, ziskavani clenu, vzkrikni naSich radovYch schazi a podniku, zakladani detskYch odborti, zlepkvani certifikatu dle potreb elenn — ale ne se mazati s tiskarskYm inkoustem.

Ale tentokrat ti to piisli draho!" — No, jenom kdy2 to nebylo horei.

Prave, kdy2 jsem byla mezi psanim tohoto dopisu, ptijela do Houstonu na vetevu pi. Ed. Havel ze San Angelo, a prvni naveteva platila mne, na co2 jsem opravdu byla hrcia. Kdy2 se p. a pi. Havel 2enili, tak se 2enili i Vrlovi, bylo to roku 1947, byla to tuplovana, svatba a ptali jsme jeden druhemu dlouhe zits. Bohu2el, u nas to dlouho nebylo a tak aspoli jim pfeji et'astnejei a dlouhe 2iti pospolu.

Pani Havlova mne povidala, jake straene sucho tarn u nich v San Angelo maji, a take ty piskove boute tarn meli, ale snad se take lepeiho doekaji. Druheho btezna vyhotela velika atora brattim HilsherovYm tady v Houstonu a oni snad utrpeli na sto tisic dolaril ekody, ohromna ztrata.

KaZdY rad si pteete cestopisne akrty aneb zemepisne, aspon kdy2 jednotlivec nemriZe cestovat, rad si to pfeete, co jinYm je zpina srdce cloptano.

Dekujeme.

DruhYm Zivotopisem velice zajimavYril je v Oechoslovaku cestopis z Oeskoslovenska pies Argentinu a Brazilii do Ameriky od pani 8edive. Veru obdivuhodne. Vette, mild pani, ktera jste to proZila jako eatko, byla by to cenna kniha, ba i film, jen kdyby dostal fiakY eiman jadro- z vageho rodinnetio piOnYrskYho Zivota do ruky.

Prave minulY tYden jsem dostala do rukou cestopisnou cestu pod nazvem "Druhe housle", od E. Valenty. Je to oZivena postava cestovatele Emila Holuba do neprobadanYch konein Afriky v letech.osmdesatSrch minuleho stoleti. Tenkrat cestoIrani a dnes jsou dva ohromne rozdily.

KdyZ elovek ete takove eteni, pozna jak je maliekSr a nepatriV tvor na tom svete. .Jako g kolaeka jsem rada takove knihy eetla. Mrij otec odbiral hodne knih, to byla jeho zabava. Pro nas deti odbiral segity "Srdce" a "Rajska zahrkika", no ale my meli radii to, co bylo zakazano, a kdyZ nas maminka ptistihla, ze jsme to z knihovnieky vzaly, tak jsme dostaly co proto, to Fekia, "Ja yam dam takove knihy, budete my potom v noci blaznit a ktieet, ze vas eerno gi honi.

Narodil se v Miroticich v eechach. Jako dite naslouchal CeskYm pisnim, je2 zpivala jeho matieka i vojenskYin pisnim jeho strYce. Po otci zdedil zalibu v kresleni. Studoval na realce v Pisku, ale nedostudoval a -trail se malit stvi. Pozdeji dostal se do rnalikske akademie v Praze. Ji2 tehdy snil o historicke malbe. Jako sudent zil v nedostatku.

Ze Skoly byl vyloueen pro odboj proti ueiteli — naduternu NSmci, jerid potupil eeskY narod. Stesti se na nej usmalo, kdyZ dostal stipendium do slunne Italie; pozdeji ziskaval Uspechy i zklamani.

Pozdeji mlada, generace chtela umelci nahraditi neptizen jeho vrstevnikii. Roku 1913 zprava o jeho smrti bolestne se dotkla celeho naroda, u nehoZ kresbami budil lasku k jeho minulosti, oslavoval jeho Zivot a duch i silil nadeji k lepei budoucnosti.

"Ted' to neplati, kclyz uz je ma."

"Poekejte. Co byste tedy rekl kdyby se yam nabidlo nahraditi vam v gechnu va gi ztratu, v pripade, ae by se majitel tech psanieek pokusil se sem dostati a neco odtud odnesti, a kdybyste nam ciopomohl k jeho nalezeni!"

(Pol. Adv. p.) ) •( Dallas 4, Texas 2. imora 1952 Sestry a Bratti: Na tketi strance Vestnikit eislo 5, be dne 30. dubna t. re, ma redaktor Vestniku nasledujici poznamku, dole v pr y -nimsloupci: V ptitomnem eisle naleznete fivahu nadepsanou "Osmelite se jednati?" Stoji na stfizlive a neptedpojate iivaze.

Napsal ji tajemnik stanovniho vYboru, bratr Frank B. Steiner. Je v ni podano mnoho, co redaktor jinYmi slovy a nekolikrate naznaeil ye svYch redakenich fivahach, abychom uva2ovali, jak nage sjezdy bud' zkrdtiti nebo vydani sjezdove umengiti. Zde je podan konkretni zptisob, jak by to no provesti. Velke a finanone silne tady by si to mohly dovoliti, ale—ptijmou to tady male a slabe?

Musim se ohraditi proti domnence redaktora, 2e podavam nejakY "konkretni" zpilsob, ja.k by to glo provesti, toti2 to, co redaktor, jak sam pravi, "jinYmy slovy a nekolikrate naznaeil ye svYch redakenich avahach abychom uva2ovali, jak nage sjezdy zkratiti nebo vyddni sjezdove umenSiti."

Jsou to prdve ty fivahy, a dopisy jinYch elenu temi fivahami vyvolane a za posledni rok ye Vestniku uvefejnene, ktere ten nit j dopis vyvolaly: a byl ten dopis psan hlavne proto, aby dal n,a gim ptemYgleji-

770 zt.tedit :dne 12: bte5:na 1952. elm elenum podnet ku porovnavani nagich sjezdu se ,sjezdy jinych Jednot, zvldgte te, coo jejich2 sjezdech a jejich laci jsme tolik Proto vyzveddm to porovnani tioasti na poslednim sjezdu te jednoty s aeasti ria Da gem poslednim sjezdu, aby si tito ptemyglejici uvedomili, 2e mame my jednotu skuteene demokratickou, Ja sam jsem na vydani na gich sjezdu ti porovnani se sjezdy jinYch krajanskYch jednot nikdy nenatikal, a nevynagel jsem jinou jednotu nad jednotu nagi.

Jedinou moji snahou v tomto smeru bylo aby jsme sni2ili vydani malYch tadti, nekdy velice od mista sjezdu vzdalenYch. Proto jsem ji g v Ennis v 1932 podal navrh, aby se men gi tady, ktere maji pod dvacet pet Clem, spojili s podobnYm _tddem ktery dvacet pet elem take nema; nu, a dostal jsem hned "na frak."

Take na trvani sjezdu neni tteba natikat. Schazime se jen jednou za etyti ro7 ky, mnoho se za ten eas nasbira, co Pottebuje vytizeni, tak tedy si,-vezmeme eas na to "pagprechteni". Jak dtikladne veci probereme a rorte gime a co udeldme, must bYti dobre na cele etyti roky, tedy, pomalu a 'ClUsledne.

Ofgem, kdyby to bylo v letech tficatYcn, kdy nage Jednota nebyla, prave v nejlep gich valuaenich pomerech, (tenkrate mne na sjezdu za mYmi zady kali "valutar) snaha omeziti sjezdove vydani by byla porozutnitelna. Myslim 2e se nemYlim. sjezd'y Ennis byl za trvani Jednoty po kterem na mitj navrh, se na sjezdove Utraty nevybiral ptispevek od Clem. Tenkrate snaha vydani sjezdu omezenim iteasti malYch tadu se data snadno vysvetliti, proto2e placeni sjezdu Jednotou bylo neco noveho. Dnes ale jsou jine pomery a natikani na vydani sjezdu a na trvani sjezdu jest plane povidani, neni-li tem). natikajicimi podpoteno padnYmi navrhy, jak sjezd zlaciniti a tedy zkratiti. Neni to tedy na mne abych podaval nejakS, "konkretni":navrh jak snaiti vydani . nagich sjezdu, naopak, velice nerad bych byl elenem takove jednoty, ktera by, na,sledkem toho, 2e male tady si nemohou dovoliti vyslati delegata na sve fitraty (mimo jizdneho) mela neast na sjeZdu ani ne tficet Best procentni toho zastoupeni, Jake miti ma. Bylo by to velice smutne u nas, kdyby se z tech 217 opraVnenYch delegatti bylo do Fort Worth dostavilo jen 77 delegatti (necelYch 36%), a 140 jich zustalo doma. Bylo by to demokraticke zastoupeni?

Nejlepgi se mne libi z te redaktorovy poznamky ten zaverek, ktery zni: "Velke a finanene silne tady by si to mohly dovoliti, ale --- ptijmou to tady male a slabe."

Tak proe neustale tlouci na ten bm.:

Ve sttedu, due 12. bfezna 1952. ben o vysokem vydani maich sjezdfl?

Tazal jsem se "Osmelite se jednati?" jen proto, ae bylo toho zbyteeneho nakikani na vysoke, vydani naaich sjezdft mnoho, bylo to hodne umele poat'uchovano z nekolika stran, ale kdya pfiael eas podati "konkretni navrh, jak by se sjezdove vydani mohlo omeziti, nikdo ani muk.

Bratr to odkradel, otec to spoeital a povida: Bet, dr gely jste se toho znamenite, mate toho 5 akin a nejakY zlomek. Je to k smichu, 2e ano, za etyti nedele pilne prace zorat pet akrii.

POSTMASTER: Send form 3579 with undeliverable conies to S. P. .1. S. T., Fayetteville, Texas.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR IN THE CZECH SECTION of this issue your editor tells about his experience of meeting a certain life insurance salesman. The story in itself is not important, but the lesson or the practical significance is worthy to be repeated The man did not call himself a salesman, but he introduced himself as "estate analyst."

• • HERE US WHAT HE EXPLAINED to your editor: The average man, when he looks at his estate, finds it difficult to believe that the cost of clearing and transferring his .estate to his heirs will run from 18% to 45%. When a man examines the factors which cause estate shrinkage, he finds that it is caused by any one, or by a combination of several, or by all of the following obligations: doctor, nurses, hospital, medicine, undertaker cemetery lot, personal debts, income and personal property taxes, executor, lawyer, executo14,7s bond, court cost, and miscellaneous.

• • SOMETHING HAPPENS TO EVERY estate after the owner dies and before his family receives it. The amount the family receives is never the amount the owner plans to leave. As a matter of fact, except in the case of very small inheritance, the estate does not come directly to the family. It passes into the hands of the administrators or the executors whose duty is to take certain legal steps to transfer the title of the property from the previous owner—who is now dead— to his family.

• • THIS PERIOD OF ADMINISTRATION of an estate may be considered a temporary receivership under the supervision of a probate court. Only after the administrator has met all the estate obligations and charged the estate with the expenses incurred by the death of the former owner, is the estate "settled", turned over to the heirs. But the family gets only what is left after the obligations has been satisfied.

• • IT IS HUMAN NATURE to put the best foot forward and to think in terms of the estate as it is today. We go back in our minds to the old saying, "death and taxes are certain," and we feel that

nothing much can be done about it. But here is where the man, whom your editor chanced to meet, the "estate analyst" pointed out that something can be done and is being done by every thinking man who has a substantial or a large estate.

•

•

ESTATE PROTECTION INSURANCE was the term that my "estate analyst" used in his talk. Notice that the estate analyst did not talk about selling so much of life insurance. His approach was to bring the estate owner face to face with the situation that is certain to arise, to lead the owner to think ' honestly, to show the estate owner that the business of dying is an expensive business which automatically throws the estate into debt, and to suggest an interesting and effective solution. The solution to clear the estate of its debt is to use estate protection insurance, which is life insurance. ♦ • WITH ESTATE PROTECTION INSURANCE, the same death which brings with it an expensive array of bills and obligations also matures the life insurance policy or certificate, and the money from the insurance will be at hand to pay off in cash immediately all the liens against the estate. With life insurance the owner pays the future debt, the "death mortgage" against his estate out of current income. The life insurance costs about 3 per cent a year on the "death mortgage" facing the estate.

About three per cent a year now will save approximately 30 per cent of the property.

EVER SINCE YOUR EDITOR listened to this talk about estate protection, the thought had been returning to his mind: Why don't we stress this type of protection? We keep talking and talking about the value of life insurance, but we don't present it to our prospects in a proper manner. We still talk that everyone needs to cover the cost of dying, and that the bills must be paid, but we dont' explain that the SPJST has a way of reducing the bills. It seems that we still consider the SPJST to be only a

glorified burial society. which is a carol mental attitude.

THE PROBLEM OP ESTATE CLEARANCE with preper amount of ordinary life insurance, if handled by competent and well-trained solicitors, could place on our books several million additional insurance in one year. Of course, we couldn't do it with $500 or $1,000 certificates. We would have to raise the amount of insurance of individual risks as other fraternal societies have already done.

If the SPJST cannot increase the average face amount of the new certificates, if the SPJST cannot break away from the traditional $1,000, $500, or even $250 per applicant, the SPJST wil probably be struggling along, just holding its own, while other fraternal societies and all the life insurance companies will benefit from our own stupidity.

• • THE DEATH MORTGAGE STANDS today against every estate. We have hundreds of well-to-do members whose property will some day pass to their children. Have we ever thought to stress to them estate . protection through additional life insurance with the SPJST? Where is our state organizer to do it?

Where are our leaders to preach it?

What will happen at the next convention when the vote is taken on increasing the maximum risk?

• YOUR EDITOR STANDS pat on his assertion that we should eliminate the maximuth of $7,500. And he goes even further by saying that we should not stop at the maximum of $10,000. Please don't get excited that we are going to bite more than we can chew. Your editor believes that it is our solemn obilgation and duty to secure applications in any amount needed by the applicant., but if it is felt that anything over $10,000 would be taking too big a risk for the SPJST, the Supreme Lodge should be empowered to secure reinsurance. That's a standard procedure everywhere with every progressive society.

"We want people to realize the contribution old people can make as a group.

In every great civilization but ours they have been considered an asset. But we've made them into a liability.

"There are two points to bear in mind: First, we are the only purposeful group that has leisure, Second, we are the only leisure group (as opposed to the rich leisure group) which is disciplined and experienced. As a group, we have a valuable contribution to make to any community."

When the original group began recruiting members, a lot of old folks were frankly skeptical. Some felt there was a stigma attached to it. They were suffering enough now at the hands of time.

Why advertise their age? But once in, they became enthusiastic members.

They meet, every other Sunday afternoon at the First Methodist church. A number of other churches and the Public Library have invited the club to use their building, but they stick to the First Methodist because it was the church which first opened its doors to them.

Half of Bloomington has tried to attend a meeting, but to no avail. What do they do?

"Well," explains Dr. Beck, "we assume first that everyone should know everyone else, because we're an intimate, sharing group, so we see that any newcomers get acquainted with everyone.

"Then we usually have something in the way of stunts or sketches, which are written and acted by the members. Often we dramatize something from McGuffey's Reader, like 'The Last Day of School.'

"We have speakers from the University and elsewhere who talk on a variety of interesting subjects.

"Perhaps the most interesting speaker we've had so far." Dr. Beck laughed, "was the man who talked on 'How to Live to be a Hundred.' " The only dues the members pay is one penny for each year of their age.

To carry out its objectives, the club promotes hobbies, community parties and television and radio programs. They have (Continued on page 23.)

1r ESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS

YOU CAN'T COUNT HAPPINESS Al Zenger is our neighbor. He lives upon the hill that looks out over all our countryside. He raises chickens and SO we buy fresh eggs from him. Al must be 75 or 80 but he's still under the impression that twelve and thirteen are the same, or else that a dozen means thirteen.

The first time that I went for eggs at Al's, I stepped inside and said, "I'd like a dozen eggs" and handed him my pail.

He went into a cool dark room, where they were kept, and came back to the kitchen, to count them out. As he counted them I was watching causually, but not checking them. I shared, somewhat, the satisfaction that was Al's, because I, too, now had a dozen nice fresh eggs.

When I reached home, my wife counted them and said, "Al gave you thirteen eggs."

I counted them myself. "That's right," I said. "He must have missed the count.

I'll tell him when I go up next time."

A few days later I went up to Al's for a dozen more. "Al, you gave me thirteen eggs last time." His sharp eyes twinkled a bit suspiciously as I thought afterwards.

"Well, well!" said he. "That is a joke on me." He counted out the eggs and, after short chat, I went on home. There were thirteen eggs again.

Since then I've told him almost every time about his inability to count. "A weakness that any man, as old as you, should try to overcome." It never seems to do a bit of good. To him, a dozen means thirteen and I presume it always will. He's too old now to learn new tricks. That's Al. Yes, that's the kind of neighbor that he is.

Take strawberry season, now. He grows the loveliest and most wonderful berries in the world. He grows a lot of them and some he has for sale.

Last season, I went up to buy' two quarts*. I had two berry-boxes in a small peach basket. My wife said that I could handle them much better that way, in the car. I thought it was a good idea, too.

It provided to be much better than we thought. Al had the berries picked.

He poured them out until they filled the two quart boxes, and then, in spite of my feeble remonstrance, he poured those large, red, luscious berries until the basket, too, was filled. To Al, that was two quarts. To me it was three or more.

The only way that I could get somewhere near the quantity I asked for was to hand him just the berry-box, and even then, when it was handed back,

It looked like a red pyramid of berries.

Well, that's the way he is in everything. He does the same with hiS raspberries. One day, I heard a friend remonstrate.

"Look here, Al," he said, "the other people who raise berries around here won't like it if you give so much more for a quart than they do."

I saw Al's jaw clamp down. "I raise those berries to enjoy the feeling that I get from giving a good measure. When I used to buy berries at the store, I vowed if ever I sold berries of my own, I'd heap the boxes up."

Yes, that's 'the way he is and, like as not, his wife will aid and abet him by bringing out an armful of flowers for us to carry home.

What can you do with a man like that?

Nothing. I'll tell you what we're beginning to think. We feel that he's the wisest man around. He started out to be a good neighbor, and he found one secret of happiness.

Is generosity a quality to cultivate?

Well, when I see Al, and note the fun he has because of it, I'm sure that it is.—Condensed from Christian Herald. ) &• BIG WAR UNLIKELY BEFORE 1960 The popular belief that major war periods recur at intervals of about 22 years has a scientific basis, according to the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, Riverside, Conn.

"Major periods of internatibnl conflict are, therefore, at least partially predictable," acording to Edward R. Dewey, director of the Foundation. "If the patterns of the past continue, the next few years are perhaps the least likely years for large-scale international conflict.

"But do not let this lull anyone into any false sense of security," he said.

Emphasizing his belief that we should be constantly on the alert, he warned: "Every year past 1953 or 1954 increases the danger and, by 1960, international conflict should be quite active if tendencies of the past continue.

"The chief usefulness of the information contained in the report is to help us realize that continued peace is not the normal experience of mankind.

"The more important implications of this study and others now being made on international conflict are that they may throw some light on the more fundamental causes of war and may eventually enable us to minimize them.

Same day it may be found that mankind at certain periods is more excitable and commits acts which lead to wars.

"Who knows," Mr, Dewey asked, "it

Old Timers With New Interests (Continued from page 21.) presented several radio TV programs, written and produced by the members themselves. They are usually in the form of panel discussions on the personal arid sociological problems of old age.

They did one humorous sketch on TV which was the talk of Bloomington. It was called "Grandpa Needs a Job" and it satirized the tendency of industry to retire people arbitrarily on age rather than capability.

During the past year and a half the fame of the club has spread to such an extent that inquiries have poured in from all over the country and even from abroad. The writers want to know the same thing — how to start a club in their own communities.

"The corespondence has gotten so big I can't take care of it," said Dr. Beck, as he brou ght out a thick folder of unanswered letters. "Dozens of these letters are from old people who want to move to Bloomington, just so they can belong to the club. They even want me to help them find a house or a farm they can buy."

Dr. William King, director of the newly founded Indiana Bureau of Geriatrics, called the club "a pattern for a revolution in attitudes toward aging on the part of people everywhere."

Maurice 0. Hunt, state welfare director, investigated the club and said, “Such happy elderly people mean fewer problems for the department and for the family homes and nursing institutions in which they round out their lives."

"Among us," says Dr. Beck, "the fear of growing old in loneliness and idleness is gone." might be found that this human eXcitability is due to physical changes in our atmosphere caused by changes in the nature or the quality of solar emanations?" The report points out, for example, that the length of the main war cycle is equal to the length of the double sun-spot cycle.

Information in regard to cycles in war can probably never be used to forecast the exact year of war's coming, Mr. Dewey said. "In the past," he stated, "there have been exceptions to the cycles and there will be exceptions in the future. Cycles represent tendencies."

The Foundation's 40-page report gives a detailed annual record of war from 599 B. C. forward; it was prepared by Prof. Raymond H. Wheeler.

DELEGATES' FORUM Question:—Dea • Editor: I read in the Czech Section of the Vestnik that you are willing to answer any parliamentary inquiry. Would you please answer in the English Section some of the points that are not clear to us? For instance, can we suspend the By-laws by a two-thirds majority?

Answer—The t e r m By-laws—also spelled bylaws, in general—is somewhat a broad term covering agreements of the members to run an organization. Bylaws usually cover such details as the number forming a quorum, the rights and duties of members, fees or dues, amendments, and order of business. You may suspend a rule or an established procedure to expedite the order of business. You cannot suspend the form of government of the organization. You cannot suspend the constitutional parts of the By-laws. If your By-laws are worded so that you should start your meetings with a quorum of 10 members at two o'clodk, you can suspend the twoo'clock rule to make it three or four, but you cannot suspend the quorum rule.

If your By-laws specify that a quorum of two-thirds of all the members must vote a sale or a purchase of property, YOU cannot suspend the quorum requirement and transact business with less than two-thirds members present.

Question:---We had a very ticklish question coming up for vote. Many of the members felt reluctant to express themselves either in debate Or by voting. What would you suggest that could be done to allow the members to express their vote without embarrassment?

Answer:—While the main motion, is pending, someone should move that the vote on this question be by ballot. This is called an incidental motion, is not debatable, and requires only a majority of vote.

Question:—When we are making reports of any kind in the meeting should we address the chairman and then the Brothers and Sisters?

Answer:— When one addresses the chairman that is sufficient. At a convention, where every minute counts, it should be the rule. We often hear speakers address the chair and then the honored guests, collectively or individually, and the audience. This is simply a formality and intended only to show respect to ranking visitors. If the speaker does include the honored guests he should be sure to address the presiding officer first and then the guests according to their rank. In the SPJST lodge meetings it is sufficient to address the presiding officer and have all questions directed to him.

Question:—We had a motion which was partially good, but it would need patching up in so many places before it would be acceptable. What is the best way to improve it? Should we first kill it and then make a better or a new motion?

Answer:—It is often being done that way, but it prolongs the meeting, creates unpleasant feeling, sometimes a disgust with the whole issue. There is a better method: Someone should move a substitute motion while the main motion is pending. If the substitute motion is adopted it becomes the main motion.

As anonunced in the last issue of the Vestnik, the editor will try to answer any parliamentary inquiry, eitht,:r in Czech or in English, or in both languages, without revealing the sender's name. It is encouraging to note that the first questions were submitted in English even though the announcement was made in Czech only. Keep it going, young members. ) 4, "BAGS" UNDER EYES

Many people are often worried because they have "bags" under the eyes. The condition is often seen in elderly persons. It apparently has not been made the subject of any special study by medical men and does not have a specific name, according to a discussion of it in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

The condition is not necessarily due to kidney trouble or heart disease, although it may be seen in such illnesses and may be observed also in cirrhosis of the liver.

It' is not necessarily a sign cf debauchery and dissipation, either.

The condition sometimes runs in families, one authority points out. The condition seems to come and go, or the size of the bags varies with the season and the time of day. Allergy may be a cause, and if the bags get worse in fall and winter, food allergy may be suspected. Fatigue at the end of the day or a "rundown constitution" may aggravate the bags, especially in elderly persons.

The tissues of the lower eyelids are normally so loose and full of blood vessels that even slight changes in the state of the elasticity of the skin and other factors relating to the persons general condition may lead to local stagnation of blood in the blood vessels and to swelling of the tisues under the eyes. The wasting of skin and the tissues under the skin which is one of the afflictions of old age may play a part in causing bags in the elderly., — Science Service.

LETTERS STEFANIK LODGE NO. 142

,Mello, Everyone: Hope this report finds all of you in a good mood this afternoon.

Stefanik Lodge No. 142 held its monthly meeting yesterday, Sunday, March 2. We had a very interesting meeting. Forty members were present, After all reports of the various -Committees were given there were continued discussions on plans for the entertaining of delegates of the forthcoming Convention, remodeling the kitchen, painting the bar room, repairing and increasing the amount of chairs.

Too, the benefits of Fire Insurance and that there will be a meeting of the Fire Insurance officers at Stefanik.

Lodge on Wednesday, March 26, at 8 p. m. Bro. Johnnie Kahanek is president of this organization and extends a most cordial invitation to all of you who have this fire insurance or are interested in obtaining it to please attend the Meeting. This is a very reasonable and worthy policy to hold. As I understand it, there will be 'refreshments after the meeting, so don't, forget the date March 26, on Wednesday at 8 p. m.

Bro. and Sis. Ladik Ermis brought their two lovely daughters to the meeting where they were accepted and a request was sent in for a policy for each.

That's wonderful, Bro. and Sis. Ermis.

Now your entire family belongs to SPJST Stefanik Lodge. Congratulations to all of you!

Stefanik members wish to thank you, Bro. Joe Kovar for the nice letter you sent for the meeting. We are overjoyed to hear yqu're doing so well and are, indeed, waiting and looking forward for your presence at the meetings and social activities.

The initiation of two new members to Stefanik Lodge was our next phase of the meeting. Most heartilly and sincerely does Stefanik Lodge welcome to our midst — Sister Ann and Brother .Buste• McIntyre. Our Lodge, needs more active young people like Ann and Buster and we are most happy to claim them fraternally.

After the meeting a special film was shown to the Lodge members and their friends, who were complimented with a Dutch Lunch Beer and delicious prepared by Stefanik Sisters. Many thanks to all of you girls who contributed and assisted in serving the delicious luncheon. Everyone certainly had an enjoyable evening.

I am very sorry I din't get to attend the Stefanik Bingo and Jatrnice Supper, which was such a howling success and

Wednesday, March 12, 1952 the two Czech Stage Plays given at Pokrok No. 88, on which I have heard some very good comments, but I had to go to Crockett unexpectedly ahead of schedule to play head nurse to my daughter a n d and granddaughter.

Mother and baby are doing fine; as well as my thirteen months old grandson.

Mercy me! I know that old age was creeping up on me, but it never dawned on me that within a period of two years I'd be a mother-in-law and a grandmother of two beautiful children. Well they say, "Life Begins at Forty." So I guess I'vel got a few more surprises coming. By the way, do you want to know an oddity about this granddaughter of mine whose name is Glenda Cheryl Turner? She's the first great granddaughter of the first grand daughter of the first daughter of the first daughter who is Mrs. Alois Vaja. Now "ain't" that something?

Brother and Sister Louis Masaryk dropped by to see me at the Lodge the other day with their charming tenmonth-old daughter, Sister Anna Masaryk told me that after nineteen years they are starting a new family. That's a grand idea for what's more lovelier than a pair of chubby hands and feet pattering around to keep the grown ups out of mischief. Ha! Ha! The Masaryks have a grown son and daughter and twin granddaughters besides the new addition to the family. Congratulations to you and yours! You're very nice and drop around to see us again soon.

Heavens above! I'm getting to sound like a gossip columnist.

Our Junior Club is planning an amateur program soon so I will give you the details after their meeting on Friday, March 14th The Czech Dramatic Circle is sponsoring a Czech play given at Stefanik Lodge on Sunday, March 16. The proceeds will go to the "Narodni Sdruzeni" for the benefit of the underpriveliged children of Czechoslovakia. So, please all of you accept our invitation to attend this play and Jatrnice Supper given on March 16 on Sunday. Thanks a Million!

Now, as a closing thought I wish all of you good health and hapiness.

Sincerely, Amelia (Vaja) Sturm P. S.: I must add that I certainly enjoyed seeing and reading the seven letters from seven different SPJST Lodges in the English Section last week. It's just wonderful! Come, fellow men, let's keep adding until someday the Vestnik English Section will have all the branches of SPJST represented.
