CEST K I,EPSilVIU RAVE pfed etytmi sty roky pfeP lotena byla jista latinska kniha do anglietiny. Napsal ji anglicky lechtic Tomas Morus, znaniejS1 pod svYm anglickym jmenem Thomas More. Napsal svou knihu latinsky, cot nebylo na tehdejSi dobu nic divneho, ponevadi latina byla jazykem pro vSechny, kdo tenkrate Innen eisti a psati. 0 dvanact let pozdeji TomaS Morus ztratil svou hlavu na rozkaz anglickeho krale Jindticha Osmeho. Teprve Sestna,ct rokil po smrti spisovatele- glechtice byla jeho kniha pfelotena do anglietiny, roku 1552. ' Emilia, o ktere je zde zminka, mela nazev "Utopie". V knize byly naznadeny plany, jak zavesti mezi lidern nove spoleeenske soutiti, nove rozdeleni prate dle uznanYch method a pfizpilsobivosti, plany o utvrzeni rodinneho tivota, mYalenky o svobode nabotenskeho vyznani, a koncene tet o vSeobecne volbe panovnika, Pled etytmi sty roky byla to luiiha bukieska. Takova smelost se kdysi platila tivotem. Katda nova mytlenka musi bYti neeim vykoupena. Wive to stalo tivot, bud' na kfiti, nebo na hranici, nebo na Lpalku. Ani dnes nove mySlenky nejsou zadarrno, ale museji bYti koupeny za posmech, za pomluvu, osodovani, zleheovani a spoleeenskou neptizeti. JeSte dnes katde nespinitelne ptani nebo snaha po zlepSeni je nazkvano "utopii", polovienim blaznovstvim.

Jente v ram katdeho eloveka je uloteno drobne seminko universalni touhy pc, nedem lepSim, touhy po idealu, touhy po stalern zdokonalovani. Toto seminko touhy a nespokojenosti nepuei a neroste v katdem z nas stejne. Ale katdY z nas mame nejakou touhu po zlepgeni nejakYm smerem a zpiisobem. Take touha po zlepkni nakho spolkoveho tivota a spolkoveho fizeni neprojevuje se u katdeho z nas ve stejne mite.

Ptikladne, nase spolkove fizeni mohlo by byti pfipodobneno k obyeejnemu ( tv( tel.. Podobne jako etveree ma etyki

stejne strany, nak Jednota ma dtyfi stejne duletite east' k uspokojivemu provadeni sveho obehodu,sve spolkove dinnosti.

Jsou to hlavni fitadovna a jeji fifednici; druha, east jsou domaci lady a jejich frfednici; tfeti slotka jsou uvedomeli a zajem majici elenove Jednoty; a etvrta slotka jsou organisatofi a dinovnici pracujici o ziskani novYch elenu.

Snad nekdo namitne, ze takove pfirovnani je nespinitelnY sen, ze je to utopie, ze toho nikdy nedosahneme, abychom zapojili do spolkove prate v gechny etyfi sloiky stejnou rnerou. Na druhe strane °pet takevi' idealistejsoif niezi -- snilkove kteti v'efi, te vkchny tyto ctyri dasti jednoho celku by melt' pracovati svorne a se stejnYm zapalem za stejnYm diem. Jente nekteti z nas nechapeme jedni clruhYch, a nekdy nechceme ani ptiznati a ptipu.stiti, te ten druhY to snad mini stejne uptimne a neziStne.

Dokud nebudou z nas andele, nebude mezi nami ani te nebeske blatenosti, abychom vgichni pracovali svorne a s naletitym pochopenitn jeden druheho. Dokud buderne smrtelniky, bude stale v nas touha po zlepkni a budeme ustaviene videti nejake nedostatky.

Brzy bude nase Jednota stara pet a pa, desat rokii. A pohledneme-li nazpet, musime pfiznati, te po strance obchodni jsme dosahli za poslednich deset rokii vice net za pfedchazejicich 45 rokil. Takfka se nam taji deck, kdyz uvatime, te v deseti letech jsme ptirostli o cele tri millony na svem majetku. Muteme pochvaliti naSe vedouci, te za poslednich deset let dbali o nas vzrust po strance finaneni. Jedna strana etverce pracovala velice pochvalne.

Podobne mohli bychom pochvaliti nage mistni tady, ze nektere v poslednich deseti letech skuteene zmohutnely a podtem svSich elend vyrostly dvojnasobne.

Tedy druha, strana etverce, nektere rostouci lady, musi dostati pattieno uznani.

Rovnet nemilteme natika.ti, ze nemame dosti tient, kteti ukazuji opravdovy

zajem o vzitst Jednoty. Je takovSrch Menu slugna fada. Jen si vyjed'me nekain na spolkovou slavnost nebo na vefejnou schtzi a utasneme, kolik je tam nav gtevniku a z jake dalky pfijeli. Maine dosti elent, ktefi projevuji skuteenY a nefal govanSr zajem o Jednotu.

Je to ona etvrta strana etverce, kterou pottelnyjerne vyrovriati, abychom meli pravidelnSr etverec a ne pokfivenST obrazec. Je to na ge naborova sila — odbor orgarnsaeni — co neudrtuje tent postim jako nag odbor finaneni. Je. to pornerne nedostatek vycvitenSrch oranisatorfa, co zdrtuje nase kroky. Tato slova v ga.k nemela, by bYti povatovana za obvifiujici kritiku, nSibrt za upozornerd, se je to pfirozenST postup, jakSirn gly a dosud jdou ne bratrske spolky. Nejsme sami, kteti mame organisaeni 'odbor nevypracovany a nedokonalSr. Druzi nektefi jsou na tom mnohem Wife.

Pied petadvaceti lety nerneli jsme jegte ani milion majetku. Nemeli jsme tea tadnSich organisatorii. Pled petadvaceti lety nemely ani obchodni poji gt'ujici , i)oleenosti takove prodavaee, jake maji dnes. Spolecnosti dnes mail mlade a snaEve lidi, kteti nekolik hodin sveho, venuji pfedna gkem a kniham, a pfitoni se pomalu zaueuji ye skuteene praksi.

Pied petadvaceti lety tivotni pojigteni prodaval mistni ba,nkef, uditel nebo pozemkovV jednatel. Pfikladne, jeate pfed patnacti lety jedna velika pojigt'ujici spoleenost mela asi tisic osob, ktere za-byvaly se prodejem tivotniho pojigteni jen jako vedlej gi zamestnani. Tatat spo leenost ma dues 420 jednatelft, ktefi ye nuji prodeji pojigteni pinV svilj eas a vYsledek jejich prate je pateronasobriSr. Maio z nas cha'pe v pinem rozsahu, io' dilletitST je prodavae za dne gni doby. Pied 25 roky musel nas agent pfemlouvat, a bychom si koupili auto. Byl to agent, kferk nas pfemluvil, te bychom meli si dovoliti ptepych telefonu, plynovkch kamen, elektfiny, a kdysi pfedtim tea .(1)11 (Pokrad*Jva.ni na strane 4.)

podati upiny referat a vyjmenovati postuPne vgechna eisla na programu sla y -nosti.Tupvnost echambud' tajemniku fractu aislo 133, bratru Jaroslavu Kleprlikovi, nebo ptedsedovi tadu, bratru S. C. Bundilovi, jejicha referaty jiste dojdou bud' tento nebo pfi gti tYden.

Zde redaktor chce jen popsati jeho dojmy nasbirane pii zajezdu do San Antonio. A jestli v ptedchazejicim sloupci je napsano, ae kidnou na ge spolkove oslavy, jubilejni slavnost tadu San Antonio je vzacnou vyjimkou. 'Ptedne, odvatil se k °slave sveho jubilea tad, kterY nerna sveho vlastniho domova a musel si mistnost pronajmouti. Za druhe, vedelo se, ae ptijedou nav gtevnici a hoste odjinud, a byl ptipraven velice chutny obed. Nemohlo to bYti provedeno, jak u jinYch tadu va zvykem, aby kousek od sine se opeltalo maso od easneho rana, ale muselo vge bYti ptipraveno v domovech a dodano do pronajmute mistnosti. Za tketi, vgechny stoly byly umisteny uvnitt salu, takae kaady navgtevnik mohl po znamenitem obade distal sedet na svem miste a poslouchati napted hezounkou aeskou hudbu a pak celY dal gi program slavnosti. A koneone, samotnY orchestr pod vedenrin dra. Jos. Kopeckeho byl sam o sobe sla y gtev--nostimpae.Bylohdneav nikt, a nekteti dosti z daleka,. jako ptikladne rodina LaaovYch as z Kingsville, nekolik navAtevnikt z Temple, z Taylor, z Austinu, ze Sweet Home, z Corpus Christi, a od vg ech sousednich facia. Nekolikrate byl redaktor ptiveden do rozpaka, kdya ptistoupil nekdo se slovy, "Ty mne asi ua neznag, ale ja se na tebe dobte pamatuji, ae jsi byl ptedsedou na sjezdu v East Bernard a take ptedsedou v Taylor." Nebylo jinak, nea ptiznati se, ae pamet' vypovedela a svadeti to na, stati.

Shledani po dvanacti nebo gestnacti letech za jinYch okolnosti bYva m1lYm ptekvapenim, aid nek.dy podoba vybledne a elovek se musi k tomu ptiznati. Ze slavnostniho programu zajimal mne proslov bratra F. Maleho, se pti zakladani tadu pavodne meli vybrano jmeno "Alamo", ale pti gli se syYm navrhem do hlavni ittadovny jen asi o tyden pozdeji nea jinY tad, kterY si rovnea vybral totea jrneno. Z dalg ich proslova nejvice mne zaujala tee mistoptedSedy Svadleriaka, snad proto, ae sly gel jsem ho malokdy, snad tea proto, ae bratr 8vadleriak je vyttibenej gi a pohotovej gi teenik ze sve prakse ye statni zakonodarne. Jeho hlas, jeho sloh teal, jeho my glenkovy postup a rozvin, a jeho celkovY ptednes byl velice pozorne vyslechnut. Sly gel jsem vice posluchaea pronesti poznamku, ae bratr Sva,dlefiak je jeden z nejlep gich nagich teenika. Snad je toho ptiainou okolnost, ae tak ztidka se kde ukase a promluvi.

Ovgem, libily se tea proslovy dalgich jak potlesk naznaaoval, jell& jejich

VESTN K

T,

proslovam jsem vice navyklY, sly gim je easteji, a nekolik z nich main zachycenYch svym rekordovacim ptistrojem.

8koda, ae jsem nezachytil tentokrate tea nageho mistoptedsedy, bratra 8vadleriaka. Male bYti sebe lepgi proslov nebo ptednagka, neni-li zachycena nejakYm zpasobem v trvale forme, zapomene se, ztrati se a zapadne, east() je gte pted zapadem slunka. Proto na gi Utednici, kdya nyni maji potizeny svaj rekordovaci ptistroj, men by ho voziti v'Sude, aby jim zachytili vgechny proslovy a pak, zachovali takove, ktere maji trvanlivej gi hodnotu.

Z detskYch disel na programu byly vgechny velice hezounke, ale nejvice jsem uaasnui nad e,islem lidove pisne "Ja jsem diveina, jako malina," kterou zpivala mala Patsy Muria, o ktere jsem se dozvedel, ze eesky neurni, a piece tak ztetelne vYslovovala "ja rada, tancuju, muziku miluju, tatieka hladivarn, rnatieku zulibam." Sestte Marcelle Kleprlikove patti pine uznani za v gechnu to dtinu, kterou mela s detmi, nea je vaem tern pisniekam, tancilm a deklamankam naJubilejni slavnost tadu San Antonio ma vgak jegte dalgi yYznam nea jen ae to byl fadovy podnik, kterY se skvele vydaTakovou slavnosti se udrauje a ututuje lepgi ainnost v dornacim tadu a tea v Jednote. Prave v takovych tadovYch podnicich ukazuje se nejzativeji ta na ge spoluprace. Prave v takovYch spolkovych slavnostech ma to na ge Bratrstvi svoje zdrave koteny. Tam Se udrauje na g aivot, tam bratrskY duch drai pohromade. I kdybychom men sebe lep gi hlavni Utedniky, skuteena spolkova dirmost neni v Hlavni atadovne, kde ptirozene se vedou veci obchodni, ale je v domacich tadech meal eleny. Proto znovu zdurazimjcme, tie einnost v, tadech je ta, skuteena miza, ktera dodaya tivotni silu celk\ w. mohutnemu stromu. jste v nedavnem aisle Vestniku zpravy na,g ich vedoucich.

Zaslouai si kredit za sve dobre vedeni.

Jenae v pozadi za nasimi hlavnimi ritedniky jsou domaci elenove, mistni pracovnici, bez kterYch by na ge Jednota nemohla rasti. Jsou to ti nezi gtni a nandrooni atednici a alenove, jak byli ptedstaveni ptedsedou kadu San Antonio, bratrem Bundilem. Jsou to elenove domacich vYborti, at' je to vybor zabavni nebo vybor starajici se o chtitnY °bed, jak bylo vidno v San Antonio. Jsou to ochotni dornaci organisatoti, jako maji v San Antonio, kde ptirastek elena pokroeil ze 140 na 198 v kratke dobe. Je, to ta drobna mravenei, neimavna vytrvalost, ktera pomaha budovati domaci fatly a podporuje vzrast cele Jednoty. Proto opakujeme, ae kaidY tad, pokud jen trochu moano, mel by planovati a provadeti eas od easu spolkove oslavy.

Strana 3 nebo dvema, upozorrioval redaktor na, schuzi delegatil, ktera je svolana do sine tadu Praha Oslo 29 v Taylor na tteti ne-deli v dubnu. Omylem redaktor povaaoval onu projektovanoti schazi za schtizi distriktni. M dopis sestry Hildy Brti goye, tajemnice distriktu eislo 2, upozornil redaktora na jeho omyl. Schaze v Taylor, ktera bude dne 20. dubna, je schaze delegate od vaech radii ye stkednim Texasu, kteti chteji schazi nav gtiviti. 0 dva tYdny pozdeji bude v gak konana druha distriktni schaze, jak oznamuje sestra Brtigova nasledovne: "Bratte redaktore, bratr Reuben Le gikar, ptedseda distriktu C. 2, mile sdelil, ae vyjednaval s ideaniky tadu Tyra Oslo 80 v Holland, aby se tam potadala distriktni set:Jae prvni deli 'y kvetnu. Povetil mne, abych Vas poaadala, byste tuto zpra,vu uvetejnil v ptigtim aisle Vestniku, a pozvanka do schtze necht' se vztahuje nejen na alenstvo v nagem distriktu, ale celeho statu, a take na iltedniky Hlavni iitadovny, a rovnea Vas, redaktora Vestniku. — Prosim, abyste se zminil, ae tad Tyr g bude miti ptichystane smaaene a na roani pedene kuteci maso hned k obedu a tea na veeeti. Vlastne budpu prodavati talirky jidla na °bed i k vedeti. Bratr Le gikar neustanovil dobu zahajeni schaze, ale stejne ae bude zahajena co nejdtive po obede a rozhodne ne pozdeji neali o dvou hodinach. — Mnoho dikti za tivetejneni oznameni tato schaze. Va ge spolusestra Hilda Brtigove„, tajemnice." Z tohoto kaadY pochopi, ae schtize delegatil ve sttednim Texa.su bude na tteti nedeli v dubnu v sini tadu Praha v Taylor, a distriktni schaze bude konana v sini tadu Tyrg 80 v Holland na prvni nedeli v kvetnu.

Na tentj4 den, kdy se kond schaze legate v Taylor, je rovnea ureena dl striktni schtize v Hillje, kterou jiti mill distriktni itednici, ptedseda hratr GajevskY a tajemnik bratr HradeckY.

Maji na gi alenoye na vybra,nou: tteti nedeli bud' do Taylor nebo do Hillje, etvrtou nedeli do Rosenberg, a pak prvni nedeli v kvetnu do Holland.

S pozclravem,

Stra.na 7 nam, co se lady \t:iecko prihodilo za sledni eas, abych y am o torn mohia podat zpravu. Tentokrate dottfam, dopis nebude tak Zaenir ale po paadku. Jak jsem yam psala, v niesici rinc •it, Ze pan a pani SoSt'akovi budou slaviti zlaton svatbu 10. imora, Tak to vSecko pekne a vesele skondilo. Poeasi bylo pekne a hosti se se glo 175 — sto sedmdesat pet. Take jim piisli muzikanti zahrat nekolik za ee2 pan a pani SogVakovi byli velice povdeeni, tO2 sv'm nav gtevnikfun za ptani a za pekne darky, ktere obdrZeli. Phi torn si ale nemysleli, 2e za meSic, v tentY2 den, 10. btezna, budou clopnovazet na posledni odpodinek pana SogVaka, kterY zemtel 8. lahezna ve spani. Tak to byla velika rana, jak pro rodinu, tak pro zname. Jak stare phislovi pravi, 2e nevime dne ani hodiny. Btidi2 mu zeme lehka.

• Same smutne udalosti Vam dnes budu psat. Fred atytini tYclny pan Elo Drawe, na g spolkovY bratr, jel z Crosby do Hcustonu. Na highway do jeho kary vrazila druha kara, hizend Zenskou, ktera byla ye velice podnapilem stavu. Obe kary byly velice rozbite ,a pan Drawe mel moc po gramocenou nohu. Ale kdy2 za dva tSidny si koupil novou kart' a noha se polepgila, tak pan Drawe jel znovu do Crosby, pomahat gvakrovi phi stavbe domku.

Phi torn spadnul se stfechy a nyni v Baytown v nemocnici, s osmi zlornenYmi .klary a jinSlm 'vnittnim zranenim.

Phi tomto si vzpominam, jak ja jsem mela zlomene dve Zebra a jak to velice bolelo, ta.k2e jsem chvilemi nemohla ani dYchat. Doktor pravil, at' se dolote opatruji, abych nedostala zapal plic. Ja tehdy jsem myslela, ze zapal plic dostane jenom z nachiazeni, ta‘Ze jsem byla pcd teZkou dekou pa celY den, ac to byla v mesici eervenci. V ten eas jsem bYvala u dr. Yunga v Buckholts. On mival kone do koddru. Ja, kaZde rano jsem gla podojit kravu. Oni meli chlape'eka, nrel dva roky .Kdy'A mne nena gel v kuchyni, tak mne del hledat ven, kdyZ jsem ho prvne uvidela, tak byl v maaali a hral si kotiovi za °casein. Kun stal ticho, aZ kdy2 ja jsem k nemu pribehla, zdvihnu chlapce a v torn nas kari,kopnul kopytern. Ja jsem to odnesla se dvema zlamanymi Zebry a chlapeeek se zlamanou rukou.

Ja jsem ty etyrnohe z yttatka mivala moc rada. Jednou mne sestra pravi -- to jstre je§te byly male, 7 a 9 rokii — pojed'rne k Este-Pakilm na besedu. Melt jsme takoveho stareho kone, jmenoval se Charlie. Ona povidala, "Ja se povezut tam, a ty zase zpatky." Tak jsme Ona byla vetgi ne2 ja, tak na kone vylezla a 1.12 jela. Ja za ni gia peSky. Sestra povida: "Pobidni ho at' utika." Tak ja vzala dpendlik a kone pobizela. Ale

titrana 8

za chvili mne kari uhodil kopytem a to zrovna do ialudku. Stesti, ze jsem byla zrovna pfi nem, take mne jenom odhohodil. Domft jsem se na nem nevezla, byla jsem moc nemocna na taludek.

HoustonskY milionai, oznamil minulY tYden v novinach, te mu zlodeji ukradli psa v cene pet set dolara. A mile tady zase kdosi sloZil maleho psa a dye kooky.

Ut jsem to VSem sousedam nabizela, ale tadnY to nechce. - Pani Mary 8t'asna mne povidala: "Ja. Vic nechci, rnam jednu koCku, zachranila jsem ji Zivot a ted' se ji nemohu zbavit."

Kdyt S • la pani 8Vasna veeer v 11 hodin pra. ce domu, tak si vSimla, v pkikoPC v papirovem saeku cosi Skrabe a chce se to dostat yen. Kdy saeek rozvazala, mala kodka, ut napolo uduSena, ze saeku vypadla. Pani 8t'asna kook y pfesadila cizim lidem pies plot. A v torn Da. ni zavoid tenska z tmaveho okna: "Co tarn dava.0" Pani ji na to zase odpovedela: "Tvoje maid kOoka je na ulici, tak jsem ti ji chtela dat do tveho ohrazeneho dvora." Ta pani povida: ".1a tadnou k3Cku nemam, ani .HAnou nechci."

Tak pani gt'asna, kdy kooku zachranila, tak ji svedomi nedalo ji znovu hodit do pkikopu. Vzala ji doma, ale vic ut. take nechce. Co ja s mojimi udelam, to jeSte nevim, a take si nedovedu pfedsta vit, ze to lide odvezou ledakde na ulici.

To je brutalnejSi, net kdyby to odpravili hned, kdy se to vylihne.

V Crosby dtiny jsme se ut zbavili, koupil ji pan Urbi§ z Taylor. VCera, kdy jsem byla v Crosby, tak uz ji rozebirali a budou ji stehovat. Nekteri lide v Crosby se velice aby tarn zastala, ale tam se malo baviny seje. Maji to vSecko "rYtaci" osete CYZi. V loni se udelalo neco pkes d ye ste bala baviny v Crosby, tak to museli vozit aZ do Dayton, asi 15 anal daleko, Jo, bYvaly easy, to v Crosby byly tfi &tiny a vSecky melt' pilno a novaly dlouho do noel.' A take se stab, to tai dtinafi zeinfeli v jednom roku, nap•ed pan Kkenek, potom pan Orsag a zase pan Gregor, net obekl rok s rokern, vSlchni byli prye. Pak nasi &inn final pan Vilem Najvar ,a za nekolik let take zemiel. Pak pan Martin Clawson, take podilnik v dZine, take id asi tfi roky odPoeiva v to ache zahrade, a vSichni odcsli tak mladi z tohoto sveta.

IVfesto Houston ut pfelezio kopec jc nejvetSim mestem v Texasu. Takte ani o zloeiny zde nemame potit. Ale ja jsem letos vyzrala na. policajty. Zajela jsem si do sousedniho okresu pokidit si Cisla na karu, kdy mne katdY rok posilali upominku, to jsem parkovala pies eas..

Letos chiapec Allen je ye Fort Hood a jezdi east° doma, tak by to parkovani bylo vice net tuplovane. Oni ti policajti jsou takovi pekni a nevinni v tech uniformach, nakterY je hodnY a rad pomn-

ale jsou zas ta.kovi, to za nevinnY prestupek vas dostane za mfite. Nekteti darebove, jak jsou v tuhem, zase policajta, uplati a oni jich nechaji kadit BYva.1 u mne policajt pet a pill roku a co ten se mile navykladal, jak mohl bYt bohatY, kdyby byl pkijmul jemu nabizene penize.

Lidieky, mam smalu a to pkimo Sevcovskou. Ztratily se mne brYle. Kdy a kde, nevim, jen vim, to jich nemohu najit, ac jsem prohledala kde co, barak na ruby obro.tila, ale brYle, jako kdyt se zem po nich slehne. Tak ted' nosim sousedovy brYle, ale se mne s nimi hlava tool. Syn Calvin nine povidal, vSak ty jsi rada taneivala., tak ted', kdy to nohy pobolivaji, tak si nasad' sousedovy brYle a mutes sedet a tancovat. Mel z toho radost, ze mile dal chytrou odpoOA'. Ale ja chodim jako tvouci • lev v kleci nevim, Ceho se chytit. Bez brYli jsem ztracena, Tak nevim, jak to dopadne a kde jich najdu. Ale main strach, ze at jich najdu, ze kukadla z nich budou ven.

Kdy jsem v minulem dopise psala a udala moji adresu ohledne bytu po eas sjezdu, dostala jsem psani od nejakeho ,star'siho pana Beelaka. Pta se mne na podrobnosti a pokouSi se sem dostat a nas tady poznat. PiSe: "Jen nejakeho toho Sofera mit, a mate mne vSude, ale musite pfedem oznarnit, kdy tarn budete mit nee° hez.keho, aby to stab za to tam jet, nebot' jest to odtud troAku daleko." Tak odpovidam, to to v nasi sini na Studewood budou hrat pekne divadlo na Den Matek, to bude druhou mall v mesici kvetnu. Nazev divadla je "Deti Slovade" a bude pfesIficet osob na jeviSti adinkavat. Tak se mame na co talt. Take oblibenit zpevaeka, Elsie Dvorak-Kadera, a pan Franta Vaviik, roz.hlagovae Ceske hodiny v radio stanici Rasenberg pfijede, a bude hrat na jeho kouzelne housle jako eeskY virtuos. Tak i vy, pane beelaku, take si to pfijd'te okouknout, radi vas tit budeme To same divadlo se bude opakovat v eervnu, po das sjezdu.

A ted' Varn napiM, jak jsme se vylekaly o moji malou vnueku, Cynthia Orsakovou. Moje nevesta nechala jeji malou holeieku u jeji druhe stafenky a jela do mesta za. nakupem. Deveatko viezlo do koupelny i s malYrn psiekem, dvefe za sebou zamkla, psieka hodila do vany a pustila vodu, na Stesti jenom chladnou. Ma dva a pill roku, vkcko mluvi. Jeji statenka trpi velice na srdeeni vadu a east° pro tuto nem'oc musi do nemocnice. A kdyt se stafenka nemohia k holeiece dostat, tak zvonila na mne, at' tarn honem pfijedu. Ale ani jsem nemohla direfe vypadit, tak jsme volaly na hasiee. Oni, kdyF prijeli, tak museli odtrhnout dratenou sit' na okne

Ve stfedu, dne 9. dubna 1952. a pak vypaeit okno, ktere bylo zameene..Holeieka byla cela uplaka.na a my s ni. Tak na shledanou 11. kvetna.

Roil (Frantik Parma a Stanley Kalmus), stojici uprostted skupiny, poklonili se a spoleene recitovali: "Vitame Vas! Oekali jsme hodne dlouho a2 vas 'uvitame na dneini slavnosti. KaZdy z nas se ueil pilne, ale stane-li se chybiaka prosim, byste cdpustili a tekli; "Inu, jsou to na ge deti!" . Pak celY sbor za doprovodu piana piivital rfeastniky slavnosti zpevnou recitaci: "Halo, halo, halo, halo! Pekne • vas vitame, radi vas to mime. Halo, halo, halo, halo, halo, halo bud'te zdravi bud'te zdravi, vitejte nam, vitejte nam!

barevnou stuhou (eerveno-modro,bilrau.), Nasledovaly Ceske narodni pisne, a to: "KdyZ jsern ja k vim chodivaval," "Ach, neni to neni ..." a "Andulko, me dite • Za doprovodu piano, zazpivala pani Beta Leazarova a sklidila ZaslouZenY 11spech. Jeji jemny, 'eistY a velini prijemnY bias se viem velice libii. 're gime se, ze nam brzo zazpiva dal gi. pisnd.

Pak bylo velmi hezke vystoupeni naiich deti. Pied skupinou krojovand mla deZe stala v kroji na ge Patsy Murrieova, a zazpivala mora yskou piseri "Ja jsem divaina". Na to hned jeji partner.

MUSINGS Or THE EDITOR WHEN THIS ISSUE GETS in the hands of cur members, it will be almost the Easter Sunday. One of the inspiring things about Easter is that it is a time of rebirth. The world itself seems reborn at Easter time. The freshness and growth of nature seem to signalize the need for a rebirth of decency and a new surge of enthusiasm and hope in all mankind.

• • ALMOST EVERYTHING in the world has to be renewed and strenghtened from time to time. We renew our energy frequently with food and with sleep. In our great machines and in our automobiles we renew the fuel lubrication.

In our fraternal activities we renew plans for new drives, more members, spring festivals, and summerpicnics. But many of us forget to renew one of the most important things in cur lives which should be cur enthusiasm—our • joy and enthusiasm for better and more decent living: • • WHEN WE USE THE PHRASE "better and more decent living", we mean an increased interest in the people we live and We .- work with. It applies more fittingly to us who like to call ourselves fraternalists brothers and sisters — who pledged ourselves to become better associates, better neighbors; better men, and better women. It means taking an increased interest in our work and in finding out some new way about it —about our fraternal organization and its work, and then learning how to improve it, if possible. It means reminding ourselves that we, individually and personally, are not perfect. It means looking torward with greater faith to the possibilities in each of us for good, for greater accomplishments, and for the greater destiny of mankind, • • DO NOT TAKE THESE LINES of your editor's "musings" for an Easter sermon and preaching. It is a reminder which should be fitting at any time of the year, especially when unfounded rumors and gossip comes around. Sometimes, in your editor's travel, as well as in his correspondence and his acquaintance, he runs into many unfounded rumors. As brothers and sisters of a fraternal order, we

are pledged not to indulge in a distorted view of life, not to engage in gossip, not to possess a hating soul, but to make a search for the truth. May I give you some examples, what I mean? Just to show you how distorted gossip and rumor can be? It was heard and reported to your editor that Brcther Valcik is going to move the printing office to Houston. When in a recent issue that rumor was ridiculed, it was heard and reported that Brother Valcik is running against Brother Marek as president. Now, a person should feel angry hearing those things. Probably your editor should have looked for a rope and should have tried it around somebody's neck, just for the fun of seeing if it would fit. But we don't do it that way in our Order. We profess to be brothers and act as such.

We only can think that someone has a distorted view, and let it go at that.

• • YOUD EDITOR CAN ONLY urge all 'of our members to.apply these fraternal priciples which we are suposed to be applying as brothers and sisters not only at the time of Easter, when the rebirth of decency is more felt, but we should apply it throughout the whole year. If you hear something about some of our lodge brothers, our officers, that is a shade on the shady side, would it not be proper to try to verify the facts?

Those rumors are given out deliberately to divide and to confuse our member.s.

We should not be divided. We are too small to be divided. We should have only one goal, and that is to act as one big family by working out a system of sound insurance at the. lowest cost possible.

And if there be any criticism among us, it should be as a reminder. Those reminders should be given and taken in the spirit of co-operation, with the understanding, with the thought that perhaps there is some ground for such a reminder,

of its own—had to provide splendid dinner and other refreshments for the hundreds of visitors and guests, the celebration was a remarkable demonstration of willingness, determination, and longrange planning. The San Antonio Lodge observed its thirty-fve anniversary.

The way this Lodge is' growing it is safe to predict that its fortieth anniversary will be held in its own new home. In the preceding paragraphs it as mentioned that we need a new surge of enthusiasm in our lodge activities. Enthusiasm certainly was evidenced among all the brothers and sisters in San Antonio, When one sister alone can make and bake forty dozen of Czech "kolake, that is something. And that was only one of the many who had gladly done her individual assignment. There were others equally co-operative and even sacrificing. Your editor hopes that a complete report of the celebration will be given to our readers both in English' and Czech by the able officers of San Antonio Lodge. It should stimulate other lodges at other places.

A REMINDER TO OUR MEMBERS given here about the meeting of the delegates which is called by Praha Lodge No. 29 Taylor for the third Sunday this month, April 20. Somewhere in the past issues your editor stated that it would be a district meeting. It was a wrong statement. Even your editor makes a blunder, The meeting in Taylor on the third Sunday will be a meeting of delegates from all the lodges in Central Texas. But two weeks later, on the first Sunday in May, the second meeting of the Central district will be held in in the hall of Tyrs Lodge No. 80, in Holland. Kindly do not get the meetings confused: first, in Taylor, April 20; second, in Holland, May 4. And for those who live farther down south, there will be two district meetings: one in Hill re, April 20, and the other in Rosenberg, PASSING FROM THE SERMONIZING April .2. to the actualities, your editor wishes to ) • (A, • say that it was a wonderful experience You cannot be 'agreeable in conversato be present at the celebration held by San Antonio Lodge No. 133, on March tion if you are thinking more about 30.

EASTER THOUGHTS Next Sunday is Easter, a day held by learned theologians to be the principal festival of the Christian year. The holiday of Easter goes back a long way. Its English name is a survival from dim Teutonic mythology. Its French name, Pacques, Come from the Hebrew word for Passover, and, indeed, the Christian festival is a continuation of the more ancient Jewish Passover, the celebration of the liberation of the Jews from the Egyptions; and that, if one cared to, could be traced still further back, for, as long as man has been able to distinguish the seasons, he has devoted special attention to the coming of spring and he has clothed that event with happy symbolism. Easter is a time when things are getting better. The earth gives visible evidence of that. It's a time cf hope.

It's a perpetually renewed assurance that things will get better.

any more, or any number of other comforting propositions. People would rather hear some simple answer than the grim and challenging doctrine that there aren't going to be any miracles, or any simple solutions, and that if we get ourselves out of this mess it will only by by stripping away our delusions and working as hard as we can do bring about the kind of world that's safe to live in.

But there are voices raised this Easter for a return to that toughness of spirit and that miliIant and positive affirmation of our spiritual beliefs that have always been a part of the Easter message. I say spiritual beliefs, I don't mean the belief in the triumph of life over death, equity over injustice., glory over shame. Those are spritual beliefs. They are the spiritual content of the way of life we are seeking to defend. They are the reason we want to win the cold The world has never stood more in war.. Ultimately they are the reason we need of that assurance than it does this don't think we could possibly live under Easter, or so it seems to us. The world the system we are fighting. is old, and there must have been many other Easters when it seemed that man Now we live in a time when the old was sore beset, and the wisest could not values seem less certain than they did. be sure how it would all end. But to any We live in a time in which the dom, generation it usually appears that its inant note is anxiety.

As John Stuart Mill once said: "One person with a belief is a power equal to 99 others who have only interests."

Easter, with all the layers of meaning with which we have invested it, is as good a time as any to take a look and see whether we are really approaching our problems in this spirit. ) • 4. • ( YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT LIFE INSURANCE During our recent company convention at Palm Beach, I got up quite early one Sunday morning and walked out to a cafeteria for breakfast. I found it closed.

"Won't open 'til eleven," an old man with newspapers under his arm volunteered. He was a friendly soul and I stopped to chat for a moment.

I was surprised to learn that he was 64—he looked at least 75. He told me his father had died when he was 13. There were six other children, and since he was the oldest, he had gone right to work to help support his widowed mother and the other children.

"How is it you're so tanned?" I asked.

"Worked on the railroad all summer with a pick and shovel."

"How come you're out so early?" I questioned.

"Early bird gets the worm," he replied. "All the other boys start late, but I was here at five-thirty -- and I've already sold six papers."

I made a quick calculation six papers in two hours would net him possibly 15c or 25c!

"Are you going to take it easy when you are 65?" I asked, though I thought I already knew the answer.

"No, sir!" he replied: "I'm not going to accept charity. I'm still able to work and work I will."

Much has been written about the value of life insurance, yet here was a man who had lived his life without life insurance. as his father had before him. Yes, you CAN live without life insurance -but how?--Louis Small, Prudential Bulletin. ) • ,1_ • ( I've noticed two things about men who get big salaries. They are almost invariably men who, in conversation or in conference, are adaptable. They quickly get the other fellow's view. They are more eager to do this than to express their own ideas. Also, they state their own point of view convincingly.

RESPONSIBILITY OF A. CITIZEN We often tend to forget our responsibilities as citizens. The American citizenship committee of the State Bar of Texas has laid down a 10-point bill of responsibilities which I believe should be studied by every thinking American.

The 10 points are as follows: We who advocate demovacy as tl•e best form of government for an enlightened and progressive people, enjoying as we do the blessings of liberty under the Constitution of the United States, do set forth this bill of responsibilities as a guide to all citizens for '_,Pe preservation of individual freedom and democratic government.

I. It shall be the duty el' every citizen to render undivided allegiance to the Constitution of the Unit. States, to work for its betterment and perpetuation, to respect the sovereignty of the people's government, and to defend the Nation against all its enemies whomsoever.

II. It shall be the duty of every citizen to be familiar with the Constitution of the United States and to be informed as to what rights and liberties are his. and to use these rights in such manner as is consistent with his own welfare and the welfare of his fellow citizens.

III It shall be the duty of every citizen to defend with - his life the rights and liberties granted to him and to his fellow citizens by the Constitution, to obey the laws of the land and aid in their enforcement, and to oppose vigorously any persons whose intention is to transgress the law or to opppress the rights of others.

IV. It shall be the duty of every citizen to make honeSt, wise, and courageous use of the free and secret ballot at every election; to exercise freedom of thought, speech, and worship; to protect the freedom of the press; to safeguard the right of trial by fury and to render willing jury service when called upon; and to perform all other acts conducive to the perpetuation of the rights set forth in the Constitution.

V. It shall be the duty of every citizen to protect and sustain the unwritten liberties and rights vested in him by custom and usage and to perpetuate the ideals of the equality and dignity of the individual, upon which the Constitution is founded.

VI. It shall be the duty of every citizen to be active in the political party of his choice, and to be vigilant of the public officers, to render all possible aid to them, and to serve in public office by appointment or election when qualified and when called upon to do so. It shall be his duty to strive for the selection of public officers of ability and upright

A STORY BEHIND A STAMP The world at your fingertips-- that's Hat stamp collecting . means to some live million people throughout the world The late President Fraklin Delano Rooeevelt called his stamp collection "ad\,etituring with a hobby.- Judging from Some of the tales of high adventure that surround certain of the multi-colored bits of paper, the title is an apt one.

Many stamp hobbyists experience vicarious thrills from the romance which surrounds their collections, Par instance, one of Mexico's best ad■ 'enure stories concerns a very come 'lion example of the philatelic art issued the Mexican State of Chihuahua during the turbulent 1900's. Some of the N 1. J.mps of this issue have a "smear" cancellation across their faces which is (Ther a dull reddish brown or a crusty A\

Maack..

fn .the canceLation lies the story. It seems that the governor of Chihuahua tieeided to dispense with the services of tile Mexican federal government and secede from the Union. He announced his intention and began to print money and issue his own postage stamps. This displeased the president considerably, he ordered federal troops to subdue the insurrection, taking suitable means to make the demise of the rebel -a deter, eat tc other Mexican governors. • The troops were successful in capturing the errant governor right in his ivate printing plant. With a display macabre humor, the commanding eeneral ordered the governor shot and his life's blood used to precancel the stanms that were then pouring out of the presses. The stamps were sold te the Mexican public as an ever-present reminder of what happens when a governor rebels against his president.

The United States also has a number of stamps that whisper of adventure, romance, and even skullduggery, as exemplified, in the case of the ten cent -wreath," so-called because of a winding vine that encircles the central portrait. A 1914 issue of this stamp in a eno(i used condition is worth about 19 However; there's an edd variety I it with an ink smear in the. corner i hat is a valuable rarity.

Ite tt although the substation did a terItile post office business, it hardly ever sald a ten-cent stamp, which made it a subject of speculation at the Central Post Office Accounting Desk.

In the 'Postal Department, whenever eyt 'cling happens that shouldn't, or 1 (1()(in't. happen that should. an inspector

is assigned to look into the matter. This was done in the "Case of the Low TenCent Sale."

A postal inspector visited the store. He audited the inventory and checked and re-checked the stamp sales. couldn't find anything wrong. To the inspector it seemed there could be only one plausible explanation; whenever the customer called for a ten-cent stamp, the postmaster must- be selling two five's, or five two's.

But the inspector was a thorough worker, so in order to check this story cf substitution, had anothee agent go into the store to purchase ten-cent stamps. Lo! He received ten-cent stampst Thoughtfully, the two investigators sat down in front of the drugstore to try to reason the thing out. The inspector thumbed absently through the ten-cent stamps he held in his hand. Suddenly he noticed that his thumb had ink cn -it, and the edges of all the stamps were smeared.

It was' as simple as that. The drugstore owner had been printing his own ten-cent stamps. When word got out, collectors hastened to run a dampened finger through their collection of tencent wreaths to see if the ink smeared on any of them. If they found cne where it did, they gave that stamp a place of distinction in their albums.

Stamps mean independence, and herald the emergence of a new coun try.

The first act of the new state of-Israel was to create a postal department. However, they found out that they didn't have any stamps, so they borrowed some from the English post 'office, and overprinted them with the name of Israel.

The following day, the new printed postals of Israel were on sale, indicating the bath of a new nation and its entry into world commerce.

Stamps sometimes indicate death, too.

Prior to World War II, stamps of the Chinese Republic were in the common small denominations, not unusual from our own one's and two's. But after the war, the Republic of China began col-• lapsing economically. The Chinese post office department had to change stamp values to conform to the inflation spiral. Consequently it was necessary to 'overprint common three-cent stamps with figures representing as much as $75 in American terms, although the American value of the stamp was still three cents. Collectors of the Far Eastern varieties now have page after page devoted to 'overprinted Chinese stamps with astronomical figures on them.

Every financial change forces a change in stamp valuation, When En,

gland recently devaluated its pound, it forgot that it also had to change the' value of its postage to compensate for various charges by countries with which it enjoys uniform postal rates. Stamp collecters are rapidly readying pages to hold the new varieties of stamps necessary to complete the adjustment.

The latest American stamp to carry a tale of adventure and heroism is a special three-center which depicts the death of four chaplains aboard the tor pedoed ship Dorchester.

Looking closely at the stamp you can easily recall the story.

On February 2, 1943, Chaplains George L. Fox and Clark V. Poling, Protestant; John P. Washington, Catholic; and Alexander D. Goode, Jewish, gave up their life preservers to soldiers on the stricken transport-. Then these four men of different faith joined hands, and—each intoning his own prayers—stood resolute until the water swallowed them.

So if you have the idea that stamp collecting is a prosaic pastime, take a look at any stamp handy and think of the history behind it. In that little slip of colored paper is a story of high adventure. )• •( TEN MISTAKES OF LIFE

WEST, TEXAS

A WEEK OF BEAUTY IN SAN ANTONIO Put on _your boots and Stetson and head for San Antonio, boys and girls!

The greatesf spectacle in Texas, yes, in the SouthWest is just around the corner.

If you're a Texan, you know that means FieSta San Jacinto, ` known for its Battle of FloWers Parade, If you're not a Texan, waal, pard, you just don't know what you've been missing all these years.

Every year; during the week of April 21, Fiesta San Jacinto celebrates the anniversary of the victory by General Sam Houston and his fighting Texans over the Mexican. dictator, Santa Anna, in 1836—a triumph which won Texas' independence—and each year the weeklong celebration, like Texas, gets bigger and better than ever.

It's a week of seemingly endless parades of Splendor, flowers and pulchritude in the' fineSt Western and LatinAmerican style. It's a time when upwards of a half-million people pack San Antonio streets for revelry.

Here are Some ' important dates and events for the 1952 Fiesta, 57th in the series.

Monday, April 21, the traditional twilight Pilgrimage to the Alamo, in which thousands of- wreaths and bouquets are carried to the Shrine of Texas Liberty.

With this beautiful ceremony completed, the gaity will begin, with King Antonio XXX making his triumphal entry in a brilliant night River -Pageant.

Around of mid-week activities will include art shows, a Western parade, military reviews, a children's fete and band festival. There. also will be a rodeo and a gay carnival called "A night in Old San Antonio," the latter in historic La Vilita (San Antonio as it was 234 years ago.)

But the biggest event of all will be the lavish Battle of Flowers Parade Friday afternoon. April 25. This extravaganza lasts for more than two hours.

And it's all free, except for reserved seats, if you want them.

The Battle of Flowers parade is one of America's greatest cavalcades of glamor, one of the world's great spectacles of civic pageantry and beauty.

Fiesta will be brought to a dazzling conclusion Saturday night, April 26, with Flambeau, illuminated night parade in which thousands of torchbearers will escort brilliantly lighted floats over the circuitous parade route.

Nobody who's ever been to Fiesta San Jacinto can forget -its . grandeur. The Pilgrimage, the River Pageant, the Battle of Flowers processional and blazing Planibeau linger long in the memory.

A NEW NEED FOR LIFE INSURANCE There is so much more to learn about the value of life insurance that the more we investigate the various plans, the inure we feel the urgency of studying further.

Take, for instance, the argument that we do not need to increase the maximum risk or that $10,000 is more than anyone would buy. Yet, if our SPJST is to compete with others, we should offer the same advantages.

We have already discussed the need of additional' protection to offset the cost of all the expenses incidental to the settlement of art estate. Let us consider another angle which may happen to any business, any good and profitable concern. Who is going to take over should the owner die?

Listen to the case which was encountered by a life insurance underwriter.

The explanation may give you a new insight as to how the life insurance may work, Here is what he experienced when he found a prospect for $25,000 insurance.

A man 50 years of age owned and operated a very profitable business. His wife was a fine homemaker, but not a business woman. They had no sons and their two sons-in-law had no interest in the business because they were becoming established in their chosen fields.

The three employees who had shom the most promise were the sales manager and two foremen who had been with him several years. This combination had operated the business successfully during the owner's several absences. He had been wanting to do something for these men — so — Our idea was that the owner should enter into an agreement with these three men so that in the event of his death, disability, or retirement at, age 60, they would buy the business from him or his estate. We would agree upori the value of the business and the three men would buy life insurance on the owner's life in that amount.

A price of $25,000 was agreed upon for the business. In the event of his death, a trustee would collect the life insurance, turn it over to the widow and transfer the business to the three employees. In event of disability or retirement, the sale price would remain the same and the cash value of the life insurance would provide the down payment, with the balance payable over a period of 10 years.

The three key employees were well pleased because they knew definitely that within 10 'years they would be in business for themselves. Actually the employer was so pleased with this arrangement that he set up a profit-sharing agreement with the three employees so they would be able to pay the life insurance premiums. He even agreed that if the net worth of the business should increase substantially during the next 10 ,years, the purchase price was to remain unchanged. "If they build up the business it will be for their benefit, not mine," he said.

I might add the idea of setting up a trustee had a lot to do with getting action on this case. The owner had not seemed particularly able to visualize how all these things were going to come to pass until we got on to the trust plan with its "no fuss — no argument" features. Then it was easy to see how the cash would go to his family and the business to his three employees, with lconcerned. few if any proj blemas ifort_a_l_ For years she, had been one of those nagging wives.

The lecture so impressed her that she decided to try an experiment..Thus, when her unsuspecting husband came down to breakfast the next morning, he was met by a beaming wife —' smiling but silent. Not a nagging word did she utter over his being late.

THE ECHO (Editor's Note: -- 'During these days of domestic political strife and inter:national conflict each one of us desiring to maintain his stability and equilibrium must hold fast • to a sound philosophy which is like a deep, protected well frorn which we can draw refreshing inspiration and; renewedhope in the ultimate triumph of right. In the Los Angeles Mirror was recently published an article which may give inspiration to some of OUT readers.)

4.

Every man in the world is given moments of light and words of truth. They do not always come at expected times.

But once seen, once heard, they return again and again. In moments of danger, of 'temptation, of pain or sorrow; or fear, in times of triumph and high endeavor these tokens move as a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night.

They do not forsake us.

My mother Was a gentle woman.

One day when I was a small boy I got into a fight at school, as boys will.

My recollection is that the result was a draw, but I may be giving myself a little the best of it. It is most often the loser who is bitter and filled with resentment and vengeance, and I remember distinctly that I was sore in mind as well as in body.

When I got home I went about- muttering threats of which I was going to do to my opponent when next we met, and it must have been that my vocabulary had been partially, at least, acquired from the older boys at school who thought profanity a sign of manhood.

My mother didn't seem I:9 • be paying any particular attention and went on about her work in her usual serene manner. I was surprised, however, the next day when we were out in the country on a family picnic . and she called me aside. "Louis, come here a moment. I want to show you something," she said.

Now that part of the country near New Brunswick, Canada, is In a beautiful valley, with tall, rugged mountains towering on all sides, perfect for echoes.

My mother took me over to a little clearing that faced the mountain wall.

"Now, Louis, say what I heara you say yesterday."

I began to feel . embarrassed.

"But I don't remember saying anything wrong," I protested weakly.

My mother was never one to dodge an issue.

"I do," she replied. "You Said, 'Damn you.' " I had to nod. I could, keep nothing from my mother and she' knew it.

"Yes, I remember now."

(By Louis B. Mayer) She touched my arm gently.

"Say it now," she commanded.

I repeated it, as quietly as I could.

The words rolled back with startling volume in the echo.

My mother smiled patiently.

"Louder, son. Say it louder. Whatever you say, you must be willing to say as loud as you can, to shout it for all to hear."

I didn't want to do this very much.

But it did riot occur to me to disobey my mother. Gentle as she was she carried the authority vested in her where her children were concerned. So I faced the mountains and shouted at the top of my lungs, "Damn you."

Right back it came, like thunder. Like a voice from heaven it denounced me.

"Now," said my . mother, "try .it another way. Say "Bless you" instead."

I took a long breath and yelled, "Bless you."

Back came the benediction, "Bless you," strong, clear, welcome.

"Which do you prefer, my son?" my mother said. "It's entirely up to you.

"That is the way life is. It always returns to us what we say to it. If you shout at it and at your fellow man, `damn you', life and your fellow man will shout it right back at you..II you say to life, to humanity, "Bless you," then your life will be an echo of those words, 'bless you."

"Choose ye whom ye shall serve, Louis.

You have that choice. As long as you live you will have your choice. Every clay, almost every hour, in some way a choice will be presented to you."

At that moment, though, of course, I was impressed by the amazing illustration (and sometimes later sneaked out to that spot to see if I could change the law and get the echo to come out wrong, though it never did), I, don't suppose I realized that my mother had given' me a light, a moment of true inspiration.

Like every human being, I have sneak ed up on life at- times and tried to see if I couldn't break the law of the echo, but I have never succeeded, not once.

YOU ARE POORER THAN YOU THINK You are poorer than you think, because of taxes. You are poorer that you think, because the real impact of taxation on personal property rights today is beyond anybody's immediate power of mind.

Everyone who has paid his Federal income tax knows hoW many things he could have bought for himself or family with that money. Some of these things are luxuries, but others are needed. A good many persons have canceled purchases, given up vacation plans, picked over every item on the family budget, looking for pennies. , Suddenly, more people are beginning to realize what their Government is costing them. Still, the whole story is hardly more than suspected. We wonder, for example, how many citizens have compared their finances now with their their situation' in 1940.

Then a married man with two children and a salary of $5,000 paid a Federal income tax of 74.80. That left $4,925 for his family. Last year his income tax was $428, leaving him $4,571 for his family.

But during those years the value of the dollar had dropped to only 54 percent of its 1940 value. That cut his real income to $2,468 (after income taxes).--ar only half the value of his 1940 resources.

This year income taxes cost the same man $463, while inflation continues.

But, of course, the devaluation car-

ries over to our citizen's reseryes. His $1,000 insurance policy now provides only about $500 worth of protection. His savings, too, are nearly cut in half. The savings bond bought for $750 in 1942 has earned $250 interest and is now worth $1,000; but that $1,000 will buy only about as much as you could get for $600 in 1942. Further, the $250 interest is taxable.

Elliott V. Bell, editor and publisher of Business Week magazine, notes "that the thrifty man or woman who put money into a savings account or Government bond has had a negative return.

That is, the interest earned ... has been less than the loss in value of the principal." That is true, Mr. Bell added, for everyone whose compound interest on investments was less than 5 1/2 perecent in the last 12 years.

And so the man who got $250 interest (less taxes) on his savings bond actually lost $400, or nearly twice whats he received.

Still the story is only partly told.

There are other Federal taxes, and many other State and local taxes, all higher by far than they were in 1940. And beyond these are the taxes you pay without knowing it—taxes paid by producers, manufacturers, jobbers, railroads, and merchants, and passed along to you as higher prices. One-third the price of everything you buy represents taxes.

President of the State Bar of Texas, Cecil E. Burney, deliVered recently an inspiring address over the Texas State network. Your ; editor recorded it on his wire recorder and gives it here slightly condensed : Time is measured in many ways—the geologist measures time in the millions of years; the farmer measures time from sun to sun and from season to season; the historian measures time by events; the astronomer measures time by the stars. To each of us is allw.ted the same amount of time. To each of us is given 24 hours in each da y , 60 minutes in each hour, and 60 seconds in each minute. The difference lies in the way that we utilize that day, that hour, that minute. History is replete with striking examples of men and groups of men who have taken the best advantage of the moment, the hour, and the day. These Men took time to do that which was right.

Likewise, today, all of us have many opportunities to take advantage of time, It are a great people, a great democracy Our derrocracy is something we feel, love, and fight for, but often we seem unable to find the words and the time to explain it to others. In talking about it we constantly use certain words and phrases such as liberty, freedom, equality, purSuit of loanniness, and the like, and yet we expe,sience difficulty in explaining to the other fellow exactly what democracy means.

There are good reasons for this. Democracy is a living, changing, growing organism. It is something within our grasp and yet always a little beyond our finger tips. Because of this, the lawyers of Texas have set aside this month as a period within which we should take time for a closer look at democracy and the responsibilities of our American citizenship.

From the archives of a broken peace we are bringing out old words and dusting them r."f-f for use again as shining lanterns to lead us through the darkness' Of what may prove to be a third . gorld war. Words like freedom, justice, and truili—all of them hard to define, none of them used more frequently than the word "freedom.7 You cannot say what freedom is, perhaps, in a single sentence. It is not really necessary that we define it, it is only necessary that we realize that it is made .cf simple things, and that simple things make it something worth having. Rather than define freedom, let us point to it.

Freedom is a man lifting a gate latch at dusk and sitting for a while on the

porch, smoking his pipe, before he goes to bed.

It is the violence of an argument outside an election poll; it is viewing with alarm and pointing with pride.

It is the warm laughter of children at plany.

It is the rush cf a train across the continent and the unafraid faces of people looking out the windows.

It is all of the "howdys" in the world and all of the "hellos."

It is the freedom of the press and of its columnists.

It is complaining about the President; it is his right to fight back by writing letters.

It is you trying to remember the words to the Star-Spangled Banner.

It is the absence of fear at the sound of approaching footsteps outside your closed door.

It is all the things you do and -want to keep on doing.

It is all the things you feel and want, to feel.

Freedom—it is you and yours.

Freedom and our democracy rest squarely upon these words from the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self--evident, that all men are created equal."

'All of our ideals of government are expresed in the: 52 words that constitute the Preamble'to the Oonstitution: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The purpose of law is merely to give equal opportunity to all citizens, The world is filled with people today who believe that life can be made secure, protected against the forces that jeopardize well-being and happiness from the cradle to the grave by governmental edict. They talk in terms of social security, health security, happiness security, security from want and fear; but history will repeat its lessen—there is no way of making life secure. The only thing that government can guarantee is equal opportunity for all. The only security worth having is the security within oneself that comes from one's loyalty to the best he knows. There will never be money enough, health enough, brains enough, happines enough to make it pessible for all men to have an equal amount. No man and na government can guarantee security to ally of us. Never in the history

of the world has security fo , any individual been attained by governmental fern-it-Jae Real security is achieved through work, thrift, and sacrifice. Whenever people have accepted . the false promise of security to be provided by the GovernMeht, they have gone down todelstruction.

The fighting spirit of our decent citizenship must be aroused to drive out the grafters. The criminal dealers in influence, the bribe takers, and all others, high and low, who use public Office as a road to easy wealth, must be brought to the bar of justice. Nothing in a government of law is more important that the moral standards by which we live.

In the clash between right and wrong there is no middle ground. There can be no, compromise. If America is to maintain its proud place in the world morality must always guide us in business, industry, labor, politics, and in the domestic affairs of our Government.
