Po hostine pfedstaven byl pfedseda Nadu, bratrem Kueerou, jeden ze dvou dosud Zijicich zakladajicich Merril tadu, bratr Jakub Srarnel, jests sveli a statne vyhliZejici na, svYch 88 jar. Ujal se slava bratr Chupick, kterY pheeet1 imena zakladajicich elenti a pronesl blahoptejnon zdravici bratru Sramkovi. DruhY zakladajici Clem bratr Regmund, v Corpus Christi, nemohl se ku slavnosti dostaviti.

Po Ceske heel bratra Chupicka prornluvil Cesky Dr. Skfivanek, anglicky Dr. Skrabanek, 6esky redaktor Vestniku, a ukonell anglicky tajemnik Chupick. Byla to velmi pfijernna °slava, ktera phipadala spik jak nejaka rodinna, beseda velkeho rozmeru neZ podnik hadovY. Z nich navStevnikft redaktor pothas1 si pravici s bratrern a sestrou Joe ElznerovYmi z Houstonu a bratrem Severou z Corpus Christi. Radu Smetana nutno gratulovat k vydahene 'oslave.

DruhY tYden v eervnu, od 8. do 14. eervna 1952, bude oznaeen jako Fraternal Week, tYden Fraternalismu, die proklamace uoinene pfedsedou Narodnih.o bratrskeho kongresu, Luke E. Hart. VS'echny bratrske jednoty, spolky, unie a organisace, jako i VSechny jejich podhadne laZe, oclboeky, fady, jednotky, kruhy a sbory,'jsou vybizeny touto proklamaci, aby tento tYden snaZily se oslaviti a zpestfiti phipadnYmi programy, veeirkami a oslavami. V minulYch letech, hlavne roku pfedeAleho, nak mistni hady podilely se na oslavach a programech tYdne Fraternalismu y e etyfech mistech ve statu, jak se pamatuji ze zpravy, ktera, byla podana phi. zasedani Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu v Corpus Christi minuleho roku v listopadu. KdyZ byla, podana zprava z Dallas, jmenovany byly vSechny bratrske jednoty, ktere braly Toast na programu v Dallas, a mezi ostatnimi byly vzpomenuty dva hady SPJST z Dallas.

Phi zprave z Hailstorm rovne2 byly jrnenovany dva SPJST hady v Houstonu, ze se velmi poeetne zffeastnily programu. Ve zprave z Fort Worth byla ueinena jen zbeZna, poznamka, ze faxly SPJST byly pozvany. Bratrske spolky v San Antonio snad ponlY g lely na vYznamnejk program, tifaina vS'ak ze k Ileum pro nezna-

Rovne2 na programu v Dallas by podobne mohly bYti tomny nejen lady dallaske, ale i z Ennis, z Kaufman, z Fort Worth a z Tioga, kde bydli jeden z naMch tediteln. Podobne program v San Antonio by moll] pfivabiti eleny z okoli, naSe SPJST eleny. A dojdeli podobne programy v Corpus Christi, mfiZerne bYti jisti, ze tainnej§i 'lady dozajista se postaraji, aby phispely svYm dilern, jako tomu bylo phi banketu Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu Toni v listopadu. Bratti v Temple, hled'te zjistiti, ktere bratrske jednoty jsou ve vakm . okoli Siiiteli fraternalismu, a navaZte s nimi styky za Apravou spoleeneho programu. Je vas tam slukre mnoZstvi, -ukaZte, ze new znamenate. Seznamujte vefejnost s naSi praci a oznamujte naSi SPJST. Vzhled mesta neni ten, laky by si ,jeho obyvatele phali, ale ten, a jakY se obeane mesta zasadi, pravil nedayno jistY radiovS7 komentator, mluVici a krase, eistote a zvelebavani mest.

Col aby delegati priatiho sjezdu vymyslili nejakou souteZ na povzbuzeni dbalosti a pace o nak spolkove sine?

Bratr Jos. Kolina, mladsi, na.A vrchni pokladnik, Zadal pled mesicem redaktora, aby tento uoinil malou poznamku ye Vestniku ohledne zpozdene zpravy Nemocenskeho odboru, kterYZto, odbor spada pod vedeni pokladnika Kolihy. Redaktor slibil, ale jak se east° stane, zapomnel.

AZ nyni prohliZeni poznamek z schnze Illavni Uhadovny, redaktor zjistil, .ze vac byla prehlednuta. OvSern, redaktor hledel se omluviti bratru pokladnikovi, od nelto2 zjistil, ze •zprave je vYpraeovana, ale eeka, na pt . epsani, col nebude aZ nekdy za, tYclen nebo dva. editele toti2 zjednali, na zaklade alanku

Ve stkedu, dne 21. kvetna 1952.

52, odborneho revisora knih (certified public accountant), aby vypracoval podrobnou zpravu za ptede gle etyti roky ku ptedlntieni sjezdu, a sekretatka bratra pOkladnika byla ptidelena na vYpomoc temto revisornm, by price byla urychlena. Nasledovne, jak vysvetlil bratr Koliha, jeho band prate se hromadi elm dale tim vice, take na ptepis zpravy Nemocenskeho odboru neni v ptitomnosti tiadna nadeje. Toto yysvetleni necht' sloutii teti jako vetejna omluva bratru pokladniku a zaroven uvedomeni elentim ohledne zpozdene zpravy.

Minnleho tydne jeden delegat do ptigtiho sjezdu polotill redaktoru divnou otazku: pry kolik ma Jednota einnYch teditelii. "Pet", byla moje odpoved'. "MYlig se. Sest, a dokatii ti to stanovami:" Byl jsem zveda y, jak bude moci zmeniti zneni elanku 30. On ale gel ye stanovach as na stranku 188, kde mne prstem ukazoval, tie "sjezd zvoli ieditele pro NemocenskY odbor." Ptal se mne, kterY ze zvolenYch teje teditelem Nemocenskeho odboru. Pak mne upozornil, tie tiadnY fitednik Hlavni Utadoyny nemide soudasne zastavat misto teditele. Nepomohlo redaktorovo vysvetlovani, tie teditel Nemocenskeho odboru neni keditelem, ale utednikem.

13ratr delegat stal na svem, tie teditel je teditel a atednik tie nemfde bYti teditelent Mysliro, tie s takovYmi haeky by bratti nemeli choditi za redaktorem, ale za oleny ptedsjezdoveho stanovniho vYboru.

Ale na druhe strane, o eem by vlastne redaktor psal, kdyti by mu nepti gla pomoc odjinud?

V predeMe sehrizi Hlavni ritadovny ptednes1 redaktor tiadost, by mu opet bylo clovoleno pti tomto sjezdu potiditi statistiku (seitani) delegatil gestnacteho sjezdu, jak tomu bylo na sjezdu ye Fort Worth. Avgair na rozdil od patnacteho sjezdu, redaktor nechce ubirati ani minutu sjezdovemu jedna,ni, nYbrti dostati pottebne inforrnace hned pied sjezdem, Irdyl jednotlivi delegati budou registrovani. Takove inforrnace jsou obyeelne poilzovany pti katide vYznamnej gi konferenci nebo sjezdu.

kdo byl nejmladgi a kdo nejstrar gi. Tato diskretnost bude zachovana tea pti 16. sjezdu, take delegati nemuseji se rozpakovati poskytnouti tiadane informace na dotazniku, kterY jim bude pti registraci v ,Wioustonu ntedlotien.

Bylo poukazano a upozorneno .ji2 nekolikrate, to jsou to na gi hlavni atednici, od kterYch bychom meld brati pokyny, jaird zlepgeni a joke opravy bychom mohli miti v nagi Jednote. 61ovek, ktery je zaptatien do jiste einnosti Best dna v tYdnu a kterY ptemY gli o sve praci vgude, kudy chodi, zajiste vi o vYhoclach a nevYhodach, o dobrYch a stinnYch strankach daleko vice neti jinY, ktery na praci se diva nebo pozoruje ji z dalky. Radam a pokynam od nagieh vedoucich meli bychom venovati vice pozornosti. Ale take, ptispevky a alaniky od hla ynich Utednikil mely by bYti pravidelne a east() v nagem organu. Budou-li na gi Utednici a teditele stati jaksi mimo Vestnik a nepodaji do organu nic vice nea museji, yyhlitii to, jakoby Vestnik byl vYhradnim majetkem redaktora. A redaktor zase rad by vide', aby °ideas on sam mohl ponechati slovo tern druhYm, tern ptednej gint. Ptikladne, redaktor rad by si vzal prazdniny, aby na tYden nebo na etrnact dni mohl Upine zapomenouti na organ, na Jednotu, na vgechno to stale du gevni napeti. Vi, takovY du gevni odpoainek je nutnY. Jak rad by ponechal svou redakeni stranku bratru ptedseclovi, bratru tajemniku, neb kteremukoliv hlavnimu atedniku nebo tediteli, aby v jednom aisle mel nekterY z nich sve nahledy a myglenky, a v druhem aisle zase drulay Utednik, neti by se redaktor vratil odnekud z prazdnin. A dienove by tea men ptiletiitost nahlednouti do mySlenkove ,dilny tech clruhYch, poznati jejich nahledy, eerpati z jejich vedomosti.

Rovnei bylo pripomenuto nekolikrate, tie nag Vestnik je pro Jednotu drahYm propagaenim prostkedkem. Domnivarn se, tie veci, ktere se nam nezdaji bYti spravne, mely by bYti probrany nejen na sjezdu, ale dobte prodiskutovany jegte pied sjezdem, abychom poznali s yetle i stinne stranky. Ptipustime, to Vestnik nas stoji 25 nebo 30 tisic roene, coz by ptipadalo asi $1.20 nebo $1.25 merle na elena. My, stali elenove, jsme kdysi plativali za Vestnik 80 centil roene, $1.00 roene, ba ati $1.60 mane. Dokud jsme to platili sami, nebylo stitinosti, tie organ je drahY. Dnes to platime ze spoleene kapsy, dnes mttieme uvatiovati, zdali cena $1.20 je vysoka, ptimetena, nebo dokonce zbyteend. Nekdo rnotina kekne, tie nebYti tech roman-a, Vestnik by mohl bYti lacingi. JinY tekne, tie rnesienik by /ram staeil.

Bylo by dobre, abychom se vzajernne uI stalili, co chceme. Nekteremu elenu bride to jcdno, zcla Vestnik dostava nebo nc.

Strana- 3 Mne po sjezdu v Corpus Christi byl Vestnik zastaven, a kdy2 jsem se o nej d yakrat hlasil a byl mi po treti zastaven, muselo mi to bYti take jedno. Lee jsou elenove, kterYm to nevi jedno. Jsou vdovy po naSlch zemrelYch bratrich, ktere jsou elenkyne, a preji si dostavati Vestnik. Jsou te2 rnnozi neeleni, kteri si Vestnik pravidelne yyptijeuji od Henn., ponevad2 se jim zamlouva. Ale pripust'me, vetSina 'Henn se spokoji, aby Vestnik jim dochazel jen jednou mesione. Bude zahodno, kdy2 zjistime, kolik tim u:Setrime, kdy2 budeme dostavati pouze jedno Oslo mesiene misto etyr Oisel. Mohu vas ujistiti, 2e cena neklesne na pouhbu etvrtinu, ponevadti tiadna tiskarna nebude moci operovati jen se etvrtinou delnikti nebo jen pH etvrtinove vYkonnosti. Ovgern jsou tiskarny, kde se yydava cela tada spolkovYch organt, mesienikil; na prvniho v mesici jeden, na ttetiho druhY, na pateho tteti, na osmeho etvrty, ale to jsou mesieniky anglicke. Tisk takoveho mesioniku stoji od peti do dvaceti tisic mesiene. Mantel na gi decry Heleny, kterY provadi rtizne kresby a ilustrace pro podobne mesioniky, ukazoval mi jeden podobnY mesienik, yydavany obchodni firmou pro s yYch nekolik tisic zamestnanPtal jsem se ho na cenu. "Dvacet sedm tisic za, toto eislo", byla jeho odpoved'. Ikad Pokrok Houstonu pomYSlel vydati pamateeni program pro sjezd. Bratr Cerny, bratr Sefeik a redaktor byli povereni vySetriti cenu, co by stal 32-strankovY program na hladkem papiru. Dva tisice vYtiskil pies $1,400, nepoeitaje v to podobenky, skupinove obrazky a fotografie lilavnich Urednikii, za ktere bychom museli sami platit. Vypoeitali jsme, sjezdovY pamateeni program by nas stal kolern dvou tisic dolarii. Co bychom sehnali na oznamkach, dali bychom tiskati.

To byla zdej gi houstonska firma, jejiti stroje betii 24 hodin denne, tisknouci v gemotinou zakazkovou praci. Tak pracuji americke tiskarny. Bratr Jos. R. Anton by to povedel je gte lope.

Kdyi mluvime o drahote Vestniku, bude pripustne, kdyi se zminime te2 o plate americkYch redaktorti, kteri pripravuji eitaci latku pro takove mesioniky vydavane bratrskYmi organisacemi. Obyeej ne takova redakeni prate je spojena jeSte s nejakou jinou funkci. Nekde je to predseda, kterY vykonava te2 redakeni praci, vlastne kterY diktuje svemu sekretadi nektere vYznamnerSi Hanky a fivahy a zbytek vykond za neho podradna vYpomocna sila. Nebo je to mistoptedseda, kteri ma na starosti organisaeni praci a tea vaechny organisaeni a agitaeni poi/lucky, mezi nimi2 je take spolkovY organ. A opet vet ginu drobne organisaeni price vykonavaji yYpoinocne sily, kde2to hlavni einovnik jen dr2i ote2e, Nekcie

An& 4 je to tajemnik, ktery krome spousty jinyCh povinnosti ma na starosti teZ dobled na to, aby pod jeho dozorem nekdo z podrizenkch upravoval redakeni latku pro organ, co2 tajemnik jen prohledne a schvali. Ale kdyZ je to samostatnk redaktor, kterk nema jinYch funkci nee pouze Upravu dobre latky pro spolkovk organ, yyZaduje se od neho, aby &oven listu byla bezvadna, elanky cenne, a redaktor je teZ za svou praci placen od $500 mesiene nahoru. Pritom je mu dovoleno, aby sve literarni vkrobky zpenelil i jinak. Lee to jsou spolkove organy americkkch jednot, ktere jsou psany a ti gteny v anglietine. U spolkovkch organn deskkch podpUrnkch jednot jsou pomery docela jine Museji vyhovovat na jedne stran y tern starkm elerram, a na druhe strane mlade generaci vychovane americkYmi gkolami v americkem ovzdu gi. U Ceskkch organn jsou poladavky dvoji.

Drive neb pkikrodeno ku jednani, bratr ptedseda vzpomenul Umrti bratra Joe Marka, ptedsedy tadu Pokrok els. 84. Vyzval eleny ptitonme ku povstani a ucteni Pamatky jeho po dobu jedne minuty.

Zemkely br. Marek byl nas vaech ptitelem, neb nebylo jednoho osadniho pikniku na kterem by on s jeho milou Zenou nebyl ptitomen. best budil jeho pamatce a pozustale rodine vyslovujeme uptimnou soustrast.

Schtize byla pane nav gtivena a vsichni brali velky zajem na celem jednani, a 'easem se i srdeene zasmali. Brath delegati dostali jejich radove pokyny, jak si y e sjezdu poeinat.

Nekteri eleni se tazali, budeme-li hlasovat ye sjezdu pro stehovani Hlavni tadovny, a y aichni byli jednohlasne pro stehovani. Byly vysvetleny rfizne veci, prod' by mela bYti naae Hlavni Uradovna ve vetaim meste. Ale radi bychom jests piked sjezdem od bratrft fitednikii Hl. kadu jejich dobrozdani: stehovat neb nestehovat. V podobnYch ptipadech se nen* ba, nesmi hleclet na sve pohodli, neb si myslet, Ze si udelame neptatele.

Zde se musi brat v Uvahu celek, prospech eels Jednoty a ne jednotlivcil.

Na listku nemocnYch jsme nenieli badneho. Traetni vybor pkehledl knihy a naael vae v poradku. Na hotovosti mame zase nekolik set dolart, a tak jsme zase zaCali s tim, co ub jsme mnohokrat uoinili, ale nikdy nedodelali, zakoupit lot neb nejakY pozemek.

Zvolili jsme vYbor a to tyto bratry: Sefeak, Maca, Jureik, Vrla, Hulovec, PodhradskY. Usneseno, by se ali poohlednout okoli a najdou-li nem tedy svolaji schhzi a bude-li se to sestram libit, tedy to koupime. Toto neni poprve, co se ye schuzi jednalo nee° zakoupit. Prehlibela jsem prvni protokolni knihu a tam jest hned prvnich zaeateenich letech navrh br. Leo Hoaka, by tad koupil lot. A za par mku na to zase navrh br. Jana Ondrha ka ku ulobeni penez a zakoupeni pak pozemku. Tedy snad k tomu nyni dojde, neb byla LIZ nekolikrat prilelitost, kdy se mohlo vYhodne koupit, dnes to mista stoji tisice a tenkrat stala jen nekolik set.

Schfize byla velmi pekne ukoneena a prali bychom si, by i priati byla takova.

Bude to posledni schuze; pied sjezdem, ptijd'te do ni a podejte vase dobrozdani delegattnn do sjezdu. Jednota jest yak,

jak si ji spravujerne, takovou ji mame, po sjezdu pak nehubujte.

Strati& 6 OSLAVA DNE MATEK U i%ADU POKROK HOUSTONU. V nedeli dne 11. kvetna byly jiste pritomne tam maminky vi lmi potekny programem slavnosti poradane ku jejich pocte dramatickYm kroOkem Hlahol spoleene se radem Pokrok Houstonu v jeho radove budove. Sestra Harriette Earl zahajila program uvitanim vkch pritomn§ch a zvlaete maminek. Pak preeetla pozdravnY dopis od bratra Louis Hanuse ml., sloidiciho nyni v branne moci SpojenYch state na dalnem vYchode, sve matce a vein radovYm maminkam na poeest tohoto dne. Rovna vyslovila politovani, 2e jsme nemohli poctiti je,pripravovanou veselohrou "Doti Slovade" nasledkem nenaddleho va. neho onemocneni herce bratra Karla Matejky, pripomenouc, ze tato zpevohra bude sehrana dne 1. dervna. (KdO2 jste povereivYmi, zaklepejte na drevo).

Prve eislo programu bylo solo na piano "Southern Melody", je'Z zahrala diveinka Mona Bacha, nadana, umelkyne, ovladajici dva hudebni nastroje, piano a akordeon. V druhem eisle vystoupila v baletnim tanci "Sari Waltz" sestra Marilyn Earl. Marilyn je ji2 dobie vySkolena, ta,neenice, provadi v§echny taneeni pohyby presne s rytmem, (grandpa watches her closely, as he has learned something watching some balet rehersals at the National Theatre in Prague). Po tomto bratr E. J. Kadleeek prednes1 d ye melodie na akordeon, "Blue Skirt Waltz" a "8ulajda", jak on to ji'Z dovede. Mladinka a pilvabna, sestra Helen Fusig primo nas prekvapila vy'Skolenosti sveho hlasu v tak kratkem Case. Zapela "Mother Machree" za doprovodu na piano sestrou Elsie Kaderovou. A zase hezka mlada, Helen Vala (all those Helens, whom I happen to know, seem to have inherited the charming beauty from Helen of Troy, who according to historians was really a very lovely and charming woman). Ona je take talentovana pianistka, prokazav§i to sehranim skladby "Minuet" od Paderewskiho. Po tomto ptikl zas na radu baletni vYkon par excelence, v nem2 zazatila mala Andrea Vodehnal. Stihla Andrea skoro pluje, ei poletuje jak obldeek neb motYlek pri tom tanci.

Nyni priSly na radu dva zpevy, "Proe pak jsi maminko tak daleko?" a "Zdenieka", zapene sestrami Elsie Kaderovou a Birdie Hilsherovou, pri doprovodu obema na piano, obe vyS"kolene pevkyne. Sestra Elsie Kaderova ma vYbornY hlas, kterY dovede dobie vyuZIti, rovn0 velmi dobrYm zpevnim hlasem vladne sestra Birdie Hilsherova, majici osobitou toninoyou barvitost. Po nich vystoupila maid Mona Bacha, tentokrate sehranou skladbou no, akordeon a po ni slept' Vincent

NTESTN1K— WEST, TEXAS Vitek z Rosenberg, sehrav gi na, akordeon dve pisni, "Pasadka" a "Myslivedek". Na posled vystoupil dobie sezpivany smiknY pevecky sbor kroti2ku Hlahol, kterY velmi pane zazpival hezkou radu nagich rodnich pisni, libilo se to kahlemu, jak ne, kdy bylo mezi nimi tolik vYbornych pevkyn.

Po ukoneeni prograinu nekolik WastnYch maminek, jich2 eisla byla vylosovana, obdrZelo po krabici sladkosti. Katdemu se tento prograM libil a poradatele, jako2 i fiainkujici zaslouZi si za to pochvalu i diky. Bratr Frank Tesar a jeho pani jsou rodiei take jedne z tech hezkYch Helen ja znam, je dnes jiz take maminkou a,sluje pani Kroulikova, znam ji jeRe kdy byla knihovni u Liberty Loan and Building Association.

Sestra Hariette Earlova, pak jdte upozornila, Ze baletni kola Kotchetovskyho bude miti slavnostni program na poeest ukOneeni sveho S'kolniho behu v 'nestskem Music Hall, ye stredu dne 28. kvetna, zaeatek programu v 8 hodin veoer.

Po ukoneeni tohoto dilu programu byla Maid ptestavka. Pak br. red. Valaik ' promital jeho krasne obrazky, cod se ovaem velice libilo. Prvni dil z republiky Guatemala, cod mi ptipadala ta scenerii jako v Californii. Druhy dil byl slavnosti a podobne z raznYch osad Texasu.

Bylo to neco tak stra gliveho, na co ,si lekaf vzpomnel, tak nestvarneho, co nelze uvefiti a co nelze na poprve vysloviti.

A na nemou tu ota,zku, je2 ze zraku lekafOva zfetelne vyeetl, dal mladY Zavora 'lemon odpoved' pohledem pinYm zoufalstvi a smutnYin pokynutim hlavy.

Lekat rychle vygel.

Washington piistoupil k stolku ednikovu.

"Dovolte mi pou2iti telefonu," kekl a sejmul sluchatko. Vyvolal hotel, v nena2 byl uplynule nOci ubytoval svoji spolucestovatelku a pak ji samotnou.

"Koneene," zaznel v telefonu dive! hias.

"Byla bych ji2 davno venku. Oeltam na vagi zpravu."

"Ne2adejte; poroueejte. Jste mym panem."

"Jedna se moZna o divot bytosti mne nejdragi."

"0 vagi Maryel?" Zdalo se, 2e se hlas do telefonu jaksi zajiknul.

"Ne, o meho otce," odvetil Washington.

Po male pomloce ozval se znovu divei hlas.

"A co main Mint?"

"Zapigte si adresu, kterou vam tuba udam. Je to soukrorna, nemocnice. Vyrovnejte faCet v hotelu, kam se po nekolik dni nevratite a pfijedte co nejrychleji sem. Abyste se nemusela doptavati na cestu, vezmete si dra2ku nebo je gte lepe automobil."

Po vyzva,ni vstoupila Stihla divka bledello oblieeje a velkYch "Zde, panove," fekl Washington lekafilm, "Yam dam k ruce vYponaocnou ogetfovatelku.

Vrehni lekaf nemocnice odpovedel pfisvedeive: "Vyhovime vagina pinnim, Mr. Zavora.

Bylo by to stra glive, kdyby melo bYti pravdou, eeho se domnivate. Analyticka prohlidka krve a vYmetta nam bezpochyby odhali pravdu . . ."

"Porozumela jste Annie?" fekl Washington polohlasne k divce, kdy2 byli na odchodu.

"Ano, upine. Va g otec byl pozvolna otravovan. 'Akan to nemohou chapati, zda se jim to neuvefitelne. Ale kdyby byli eetli dopisy va gi macechy, jako jsme je eetli my, nebyli by v 2adnYch pochybnostech. Mne nastava nyni akol hlidati vageho otce, vlastne spi ge hlidati jeho aenu. Stane se.

"Vim, 2e umite piniti svoje povinnosti verne. Ale chef na vas vice ne2 to. Chci, abyste to konala jako sama pro sebe."

"Nedokazala, bych ueiniti pro sebe to, co doka.21 udiniti pro vas."

"Do vagich rukou vkladam divot ho otce."

"Ve vagich vlastnich by ho nebylo vice dbano."

"A ne2adam toho zadarmo. Spini-li se moje nej yroucnej gi pfani, bude-li 2ivot meho otce zachranen, annul. syYm aivotnim nkolem snahu vas odmeniti."

"Nechci 2adne odmeny. Uspokojiti vas bude mi nejlepgi odmenou." — — "Ja zase nechci, abyste se obetovala zadarmo.

Annie se zadivala na Washingtona zkournave, a pojednou zaplal jeji zrak odleskem vnitfni radosti. Ale zvaIneargi lined na to, iekla: "Opakuji, ae nine mluvenim o odmene utite." j enom "Dobra, nemluvme o torn vice: Na to dOsti easu a2 po vYsledku. Ale posilaje vas k svemu otci, 2adam vas: opatrujte jej tak jako sveho vlastniho otce." Na slova "sveho vlastniho otce" dal Washington zvla gtni daraz.

"To bych byla einila bez va geho rialuveni o odmene."

Ale to by zkazilo vgechny na ge plany. "Ona" nesmi se dovedeti, 2e jsem tady. Mete, draha Annie, jclete opatrovati sveho vlastniho otce."

Opustiv nemocnici, zameiil mladY Zavora, k nedaleke stanici zvY gene drahy.

Chtel co nejdfive moZno mluviti s pritelem Listkem, a zeptati se ho, zda a za jakYch okolnosti odevzdal jeho ate! kabelogram zaslanY z Vida* a zda mu starY pan Zavora po odevzdani kabelograrnu neco odpovedel. Washingtonovi pfipadalo nemo2nYrn, 2e by byl jeho otec dostal varovani, a pfece se dal oklamati sat.* 2enou, a je gte po onemocneni, ae by ji diavefoval tak dalece, 2e by se od ni nechal aZ do nemocnice provazeti a dovolil, aby byla neustale u jeho lo2e . . .

Kdy2 se po pul hodine jizdy behern ktere mu nepfestavaly podobne my glenky hlavou dostal do obehodu mladYch krajarai Listka a Kafky ,dovedel se, 2e se pritel Listek ,pied dvanacti dny 02enil a odejel se svoji mladou ainkou na vYchod na svatebni cestu. -"Zrovna dva dny pied tim, neali byla moje depege poslana," iekl si Washington. Okam2ite se mu vyjasnilo, prof mohla macecha tak nerugene svaje plany provadeta. Jeho otec neobdr2e1 kabelogram, nebyl tedy varovan.

"A nepti gel na Listka nejakY telegram z Vidne hned druhY nebo tieti den na to, kdy2 odejel?" ptal se nav gtevnik Listkova spoleenika hlasem chvejicim se zklamanim, rozru genim i nevoli.

"Ano, pfigel, ale nepova2oval jsem se za opravnena jej oteviiti, a proto jsem s nim ucinil to, cd jsem. Clnii s jeho 0statnimi osobnimi dopisy. Dal jsern jej do obalky a poslal za nim do New Yorku.

Washington se chopil podavaneho mu listku.

neocenitelnou pomocnici, zlatou Annii."

A znytlenky Washin.gtona Zavory, vystupujiciho pa schodech ke sta,nici zvYtene drahy, soustkedily se na osobe deveete, jemut byl svefil tivot sveho otce.

V dosti prostorne svetnici v jedne z nejleptich chicagskych nemocnic letel na prostem, bilem loti pan Zavora,. Od to doby, co byl pfinesen do nemocnice, byl skoro neustale pohfiten ve spanek.

Pul hodiny po tom, co byl na nemocnieni lote uloten, pTisli v pravodu jeho domaciho lekafe dva jini staff pani a s nimi asi tit mladi, vtichni lekati, a podrobili jej vel,mi dtkladnemu ohledani.

Prohliteli mu jazyk, hrdlo, °alai belmo, spojivky, zfitelnice, naslouehali podivnYmi nastroji jeho dechu, einnosti srdce, vzali mu zvlattni jehlou nekolik krapeji krve, vzali jeho chrchel a pfikazali otetfovatelce, aby i vYmety, vodu i halotu z tela pacientova zachovala k analysi.

Bez dechu, se srdcem skomirajicim fizkosti, sedic na tidli v nejtemnejtim koutku svetnice, pozorovala pani Zdvorova poeinani lekaiu. Studeny pot ji poleval skrane. V hrdle ji neco tisnilo, bud' se svali v bezvedomi ze idle k zemi, nebo- to bude zachvacena hysterii a zaene krieeti. Stalo ji to vynaloteni vtech sil herya, aby se pied jednim neb druhYm zachvatem uchranila.

"Byli jati lekafi neja,kYrn podezfenim?

Bylo jim neco ye stavu pacientova ate napadneho? Nebo snad venuji Kati:16nm novemu svefenci takovou pozor'lost? Podrobuji -snad katdeho noveho nernocneho tak bedlivemu a •dlouhemu ohledani?"

Patti Zavorova, vefila v druhe, ale nebyla by byla ani pilia pfekvapena, kdy by se nekterY z tech pfisne se tvaficich mun byl k ni obratil a nazval ji vra,tednici. Mraz jezdil ji v kostech. Co by ji pak deekavalo? Ji, vratednici sveho mantela!

Vedela jit, co by v tom pfipade ueinila. IVIela u sebe malinkou lahvieku a v nt tolik tekutiny, co by stable na usmrcent dvou dospelYch lidi. Netli by na ni sahli, Meth, by jeji obsah v hrdle. Byla jit odhodlana na ytechno. c slova Ale v tu chvili ji pfitla na hada.eky: "Jen dovolte vasernir doktorovi, aby si sezval na poradu tfeba,s vtechny profesory z mesta!" Tato jistota zkutene hadadky, to neinilte bYti pfieina Zavorovy nemoci lekafi vyzkoumana, ji ponekud uklidnila. Ale jette celY den se chvela strachem, a s azkosti se ohlitela po dvefich, zda se v nich neobjevi nejakY mitt zakona, aby ji vyzval ku nasledovani ho a odvedl ji do vezeni . .

Nestalo se nic takoveho.

Pod rukama lekaia byl pan Zavora jako netivou veci. Jeho horejti Udy byly videne, poddajne, ale nohy byly zachvaceny jakousi ztrnulosti. kdy't se pokusili je v kolenou nebo v kotniku ohnouti, otevfel nernocnY oei a jeho vyhubla tvat vzala na sebe vyraz bolesti. Kdyt od jeho latka odetli, upadl pacient zase v tichy spanek a rosa potu, je.a se jevila na jeho eele, davala svedectvi o silovne praci organit.

Otetkovatelka, jet nebyla opustila svetnici od to doby, co do ni byl pan Zavora pkinesen, se otaeela kolem lekaiu, pokud tito pacienta prohliteli, pkinatela jim Potfebne nadoby a pkistroje. Kdyt opustili lekafi mistnost, upravila obratna tena,polStaie kolem hiavy nemoeneho, stahla do polovice zaclony obou 0ken, aby utlumila ponekud ostre svetlo sem dopadajici, a pak si povtimla v koutku sedici pani Zavorove.

V zlo'dinne acne se rozplynaly vtechny dojmy poslednich chvil v ,obvyklou u ten alevu plae. Travieka sveho mantela sedela s alma v tatku a plakala hot ce. Pojednou ji nekdo sahl na rameno.

Vzhledla polekane vzllaru. Ale spatfila nad sebou sklonenou a matefsky se usmivajlei otetkovatelku.

"Uboha pani," tekla tato, "je to pro vas velka, rana. Ale uklidnete se, snad to nebude tak Me." Zavorova rozumela pouze prvnirif sloyam vety, pronesene anglicky. zakYvala hlavou a dala se do novella place. Zdalo se ji, to je vskutku politovani hodnu, ae si zaslouti to soustrasti.

Kandy o sobe mysli, ze je hodnYm elovekein a ze je opra ynen k svernu jednani.

Ani zloeinci nejsou z to shovivavosti k sobe samym vynati.

Trvalo to znaenou chvili, net se aelka neraceneho uklidnila. -Neja,ky mladY lekar, intern, pfines1 leky a dal ogetrovatelee rozkazy, jak jich nemocnernu podavati.

Pak pfiga jeate jedna otetkovatelka, mnohem mladti, velmi bleda, ttihla divMita, je.Z vypadala v jednoduchYch, bile a modre na delku pruhovanYch gatech okti•ovatelek skoro hubena.

Promluvila nekolik slov se atar gi kalegyni a pak se obratila k pani Zavorove.

"DcbrY veeer, pani," rekla, nemecky, "Byla jsem sem dana na vystriclani, panevadZ pant neumni anglicky, a tato oS"o7 ttovatelka nezna, zase nic jineho mime/ fee anglickou."

V Zavorove se hnula radost. Ted' to nebude aspori tak oputtena, nebude tu tak jako prodana, kdyt si bude moci s otettovatelkou premluviti.

VZPOMINKY J. F. lefeik

ienska logika.

Mild pani, zda se mi, ze vas na zkornateni Zil. vidite, pane doktore, to by koilo bYt pravda --- to ja vedela odna, ze v torn flamovi nebyla dobra!

Dale ten mladik, kterY se mne pfedstavil jako Karel eernos14 scieluje: Jsem student chudobnYch rodiet, kti:i mne v myth studiich pcdpotit nemohou, neb jsou jen v najmu. Tedy ja v prazdninach chci si neco ,ptivydelat a nabizim lidem, by ode mne odkoupili tuhle kameru a tyhle obrazky. Ta kamera a jeden tucet tech obrazicti za tti dolary, a dal'Si tucet obrazkt jeden dolar. Ja na nej kou kdm a myslim si, ty mladiku se mne dosti libiS, nevypadaA, ze bys to probumloyal, a Ze to WijeS skuteene na sve vzde lani. A tak mu tikam: "ViS, miadY my jsme jen chudobni rentYti, k tomu tace prondsledova.ni nemocemi. Pied tremi roky celou nasi urodu sebrali lekati. Tii mesice tomu, cc manZelka podstoupila teZ-kou operaci. Ale ja vetim, Ze to minis skuteene uZiti na sve vzdelani. Tedy my od tebe odkupujeme to kameru a dva tucty tech obrazkt." Po techto slovech tento mladik ku mne chytil mne za ruku a vdeene stiskl. Pfatele, ja jeSte po 45 letech citim ten vicelY stisk sire pravice. A ye svem nitru citim, jestli jsem kdy provedl ye svem Zivote dobrY skutek, Ze to bylo tehdy, kdy jsem paru centy podpotil eeskeho chudeho studenta.

Dale scieluji, Ze na tech starYch pionYrech by se rnlada dneSni generace piepaeitala. Co byste tcmu iekli, 'Ze ten start (Veda, Josef F. 8061k, po Sestnact let zastaval tfad okresniho fifednika, a co hlavniho, tide mysli, Ze to je moje smYSlenka, Ze piece nikdy neeetli, jake vYlohy jsem mel s volbou, a k tome Zaâ&#x20AC;&#x17E;dny mne nevolil, take to bude jen moje chlouba. V torn se ale mYlite. Naopak, ja se zdrahal, ze fitad dale neptijimam.

KdyZ ale zasedal komisatskY soud, tu mne vidy Zvolili,'tctiZ tak zvaneho "road overseer", nebo eesky, "cestni Ono za starYch east, kaZdY mladY muZ od 21 do 45 let, jak zakon natizoval musel pet dni do roka delat na vetejnYch cestach. A paneeku, bylo to pro tcho dohlilitele test dosti ptisne. Stavalo se, Ze kaZdY mel aZ etyti mile cesty pod svou spravou, a k to ceste pattilo deset mutt. Tito meli jiz syYch padesat hodin odpracovanYch, a ptiAla povodefi' a na ceste byly vYmoly, Ze se nedalo piejeti.

Tedy "overseer" musel vziti svfij potah a jit to spravit. Ptihodilo se, Ze naterY rok to musel provesti nekolikrate. A kdy jsem se za tu praci doladoval nahrady, valy mne komisat teki, Ze nine ddt nic nerrniZe, Ze je rozpoeet jeho vyeerpan. Kdyby dnani den mne okres zaslal eek, znejici na sto dolar y za tu praci, co jsern delal pies pet dni do roka,

tedy by mne nepfiSlo ani dolar na dvanact hodin.

Ptatele, mne moje manZelka easto tika: "Starej, ty jseS: kejva.la. To vim, Ze celYm tyYm poteSenim je to sklenieka a fajeeka; a to ti tikam, ze ma g S: testi, ze jsi nine dostal za Zenu. NebYti mne, tak bys brzo zahynul zimou a bidou. Jsem to ja. co to drzi pti Zivote."

A ja ji na to odpovidam: "Ale, martini ko, vZdyt' ja si vypiji jen d ye, a ji2 bebych byl co nejdfive v tvojim ruei." Ale tikejte to Zenske, ona vam to stejne neveti. A tak eemu jsem nevetil, dneska tomu vefim, a uznavam, Ze jsem kejvala, neb se stalo, kdy j,sem k ni jednou zfistal jsem tt ni 53 let. A vette si tomu nebo ne, jeke se mi od ni nechce. Tedy uznavam, Ze Preci musim bYt kejvala.

A tak, kdy bYvain v dobre nalade, tedy obeas sve manZelce zazpivam: Tobe, o vlasti ma, krasna a svobodna, maj plati hlas.

Kde otci zmirali, poutnici z kaZde hory, strani, svoboda zni, donlov, vlasti ma, vzneSena, svobodna, vzdavam ti dik.

Vcia za tva mesteeka a topoly, me srdce hlaholi, pro ten rid. S: " kraj.

Sestra tikala nekterYm svYrn znamSlin, Ze za starYch dob lide nerneli kamna na peeeni. Tedy se ji dotazovali, kdyZ pekli chleba, jak hopekli, aneb v eem ho pekli. Neni nine znamo, jestli to vgichni tak einili. Main v parneti, co jsem slYchaval od s yYch rodieft a sousedt, Ze jegte nekolik let po obeanske valce taktka Zadna rodina kamen nemela.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF SLAVONIC BENEVOLENT ORDER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

VESTMK

All contributions, corres p ondence of Lodge reporters, bio g ra p hies, etc., MI ended Or lication, must be in the hands of the. Associate Editor a week before the date or 'sane.

All communications relatin g to editorial mat,. ters of the English Section should - be addressed: Associate Editor, 6402 Prague: Houston 7, Texas.

OSTMASTER: Send form 3579 with undeliverable copies to S. P. J. S. T., Fayetteville, .Texas

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR OUR SINCERE COMPLIMENTS to Be-' drich Smetana Lodge No. 39, at Bryan, for the very friendly atmosphere and brotherly welcome of all the "outside"; guests to the "private" golden jubilee celebration. We understood that it would be a party for the local members only,' but the members, especially the Sisters, made ample provisions to take care of all the visitors.

• • BROTHER CHUPICK, our supreme secretary was there, also Dr. John M. Skrivanek, profesor of Slavonic languages, of Houston, and Dr. Robert L. Skrabanek, professor of sociology, of College Station. All of them made short addresses, but Brother Chupick was the main speaker for the occasion. He went back to the day fifty years ago when seventeen men had met in a small tenant house near the settlement called Smetana and decided to organize a new SPJST lodge. Those seventeen men were joined by five ladies, and the newly-organized lodge was admitted into the Order on the 4th of May, 1902.

• • SECRETARY CHUPICK then went over the list of names of the charter members and announced that only one of them is still living and present. He then turned around and congratulated Brother Jacob Sramek who was sitting somewhat to the side of the speaker.

Brother Sramek, 88 years old but giving an appearance of a man much younger, heartily and humorously i esponded to Brother Chupick's congratulation. ♦ • ALL IN ALL, it was not an elaborate flowery celebration with long and speeches but rather a congenial, neighborly gathering.. There were visitors from as far as Corpus Christi, Brother Severa; from Temple, Brother Matush; from Houston, Brother and Sister Joe Elzner, and the editor of Vestnik and his wife. There were many /others from different places. All of us really enjoyed the hospitality provided for us by the members of Smetana Lodge.

IT IS ONLY ONE MONTH to the convention in Houston, but we should call your attention to another important event which will take place during the

week of June 8-14, 1952. That week is to be observed as Fraternal' Week, and we should like to urge every lodge located in larger communities and cities to give recognition to this week by using every means to emphasize the power, importance, and accomplishments of the Fraternal Benefit Societies.

THERE IS MORE to Fraternal Week than having parties, eating dinners, and listening to speeches. In the first place, it should put every member of every fraternal organization on notice that he .or she is one of the nine million members which compose the Fraternal Benefit Societies in North America. It also should put every member on notice that lodges of Fraternal Benefit Societies constitute centers of civic betterment and contribute to the social and economic well-being in every place, village, and city where lodges are located. And the lodges are not only social centers, but they are the stations of mutual aid in all of the problems of life.

• • AT THE LAST YEAR's session of the Texas Fraternal Congress in Corpus Christi, several of the local SPJST lodges had been mentioned for their participation in the observance of the Fraternal Week in 1951. We hope that many more of Our local lodges will take part this year • Members of different societies in cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, Temple, Corpus Christi, and Waco will work together on varicus programs. Our more active members, especially the younger set, should try to contact the other fraternal societies in the respective cities and work out some program.

WE WERE SURPRISED a while back, when it was suggested that the meeting should open with "Star Spangled Banner" that only a handful of members admitted that they could carry on the song. So, as a substitute, it was suggested to sing "My Country." Strange as it may seem, it did not go any too easily, either. How about buying a record and playing it on a phonograph until it soaks in? We are supposed to be a nation of singers. Are we?

BROTHER OTTO STEHLIK, of Wichita Falls, who is a member of IndeperidenCe Lodge No. 76, a frequent contributor to the English Section, a man holding very high pOsition and enjoying esteemed recognition in another fraternal 'WOrld:: wide Order, has some timely parliamentary suggestions in this issue. Your' editor agrees with Brother Stehlik 100' percent—almost. The slight difference of opinion—and the difference is only as to the mode of operation—gives us the stamp of individuality, and lifts, Its from the mediocrity of intellectual' no bots ONE OF HIS SUGGESTIONS is that, the editor of the Vestnik should not be elected by the convention. Let ineseib-* Brother Stehlik: "Nowhere among fra.:. ternal organizations is the editor elected; by electing the editor, he is made inde pendent of the Grand Lodge officers:-: This- can cause considerable frictiOn.",..

Brother Stehlik is right—as far a's' he goes. The only bone of contention: is the precedent, or the habit, used in 131bm,1 ing an editor and other men into the official family. We as yet do not havean ideal setup. We may never attain it.

But we are not any worse than thousands of other organizations, be they fraternal or business. The human Mind will always strive to remove imperfections from its own plans. The editor should be in a subordinate capacity: should not do too much of independent' thinking, because that is the job 'of the" supreme officers. The analogy of a bank': president and a bookkeeper is well taken.

But we have a head bookkeeper, the financial secretary, who is likewise elected by the convention, and not selected by the Supreme Lodge.

LET US CONSIDER this matter net: on the basis whether or not we are. an,, exception among the fraternal lerga,nizations, a freak, so to speak, but on the basis of common sense. Our convention .r is a policy making body. Now, it boils down to the point as to who helps. that policy making? Let us say that we wculd delegate it to the president, the secretary and the treasurer? Would our (Continued on page 23.)

LAST MONDAY A HOLIDAY You may now know it, but last Monday, May 19, 1952, you should have observed as a holiday, and you should have called it "Nineteen hundred and fiftytwo national tax freedom' holiday." If that sounds puzzling to you, you may get the meaning more fully if you get to know that last Monday was the first day this year on which a man calls a dollar his own. All that average American has earned from January 1 to May 19 he must pay out in taxes: local, state, and federal.

This is merely another way of saying that our over-all ta- load has increased to the point where it now takes 38 cents out of every dollar we earn. Out of each hour we work, the pay for 23 minutes is taken by government, in direct and hidden imposts. The situation calls to mind the concession to freedom granted Prussian serfs centuries ago. Their masters allowed them to work for themselves 2 days, out of each week.

Never before have Americans had to Work for more than 4 1/2 months to pay their taxes. In 1920 they began working for themselves on February 26. By 1940 the date advanced to M_arch 27. In 1951 National Tax Freedom Holiday was observed on April 28, with formal recognition by. Congress, in, a concurrent resolution of Senate and House.

In 1951, when local, State, and Federal taxes were taking 32 cents out of each dollar the average American earned, the concurrent resolution of the Congress provided that Tax Freedom Holiday be symbolized as a day of relief throughout the land with such demonstrations as may seem appropriate, including a prayer for deliverance. This year more effective and vigorous congressional action is anticipated. This article has been prepared ahead of the day of relief, so we don't know.

Citizens of the United States now pay more money for taxes than for all the food they eat. Mussolini took 40 percent 01 his people's income. Hitler took 50 per cent. Stalin is taking 70 percent. All of the income of all of the people in all States west of the Missippi River will not be enough to pay the bills of the Federal Government alone as budgeted for the year ahead.

Direct and hidden taxes on a 1952 auto, mobile make up nearly one-third of its pin chase price. The breakdown on a 52,000 car is: Manufacturers' taxes, $155; suppliers' taxes, $154; dealers" taxes; $102; sales tax (average), $57; Federal excise tax, $146. Total taxes, $614.

Direct and hidden taxes on typical

everyday items add up like this: Bread value 9 cents, taxes 5 cents, total 15 cents; milk, value 14 cents, tax 9 cents, total 23 cents; gasoline, value 13 cents, taxes 14 cents, total 27 cents; telephone service $6.60, taxes $2.95, total $9.55. On a $3,500 income an American family pays out $798 in hidden taxes alone, while Federal income taxes amount to around $300..

The Federal Government today has 2,400,000 civilians on its payroll and is adding an average of 1,500 new employees every day. Federal bureaucracy has grown seven tifnes faster than the Nation's population in the last 34 years. In July 1917 civilian employees in Government numbered 552,862. The Federal civilian payroll today represents a 436 percent increase over the 1917 figure.

"Dollars to doughnuts soon will be an even bet," the tax liberation holiday advocates declare. There are today, 189 taxes on a suit of clothes, 154 taxes on a bar of soap, 201 taxes on a gallon of gasoline, and 53 taxes on a loaf of bread.

On top of all the taxes currently being paid, today's Federal debt is a mortgage of $1,733 on the shoulders of every man, woman, and child in the United States.

For a family of four, it becomes a crushing tax debt of $6,932. The per capita debt has increased eightfold since 1934.

It has more than tripled in the past 10 years.

It takes the Federal Government exactly 1 second to spend all the Federal taxes paid by a man, with a wife and two children, earning $12,000 a year.

Federal taxes averaged $3.88 per person in 1900. They were up to $50 by World War I and hit $313 in World War II. Now they average $472 a year per person-120 times the figure for 1900.

In his Essay on Representative Government, John Stuart Mill had this to say: "A people may prefer a free government, but if, from indolence or carelessness, or cowardice, or want of public spirit, they are unequal to the exertions necessary for preserving it; if they will not fight for it when it is directly attacked; if they can be deluded by the artifices used to cheat them out of it; if by momentary discouragement, or temporary panic, or a fit of enthusiasm for an individual, they can be induced to lay their liberties at the feet of a great man or trust him with powers which enable him to subvert their institutions; in all these cases they are more or less unfit for liberty; and though it may be for their good to have had it even for a short time, they are unlikely long to enjoy it."

On the subject of debt, Thomas Jefferson said: "I place economy among the, first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make cur choice between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.

If we can prevent the Government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy."

So, last Monday was one of those movable holidays, moving toward the sign of danger. One observer made this timely warning: "If businessmen don't get more and, more into politics, politicians will get more and more into their business. It is time to vigorously demand good government at less cost—and end to waste and extravagance and constantly increasing tax burdens." ) • • MAGIC PINPOINT

On a bleak night in London, more than 100 years ago, a newspaper correspondent sat at his table in a cozy inn. A mug of ale at his elbow, he was chronicling the day's events for out-oftown editors. Once the dispatches were sealed in envelopes, the journalist drew from his pocket a sheet of postage stamps. Then he proceeded to grope for the penknife he usually carried to cut stamps apart.

Failing to find it, he pulled a pin from his lapel and began to work over the stamps. As he labored, another patron of the inn, Henry Archer, watched intently.

An idea grew in Archer's mind: how wonderful if he could invent a machine which would fix stamps for easy separation! He built one, then a second, but British postal autorities rejected both.

However, his third machine was patented by Archer in 1848. Further alterations were made, and in 1854 a new type of stamp was placed on sale in England. One by one, stamp-issuing nations followed Britain's lead, the U. .

S. joining in 1857.

Archer's chance 'observation of a journalist who had mislaid his penknife introduced the perforated postage stamp to the world. ( __— ) • Judge: "Is your wife dependent on you?"

CZECH TROUBLE (Editor's Note:—By publishing the following article, I am exposing myself to argumentative and small-minded criticism. The article was sent by one of our younger members, a student at the University of Texas.

In fact, it looks as though things are likely to get worse.

The Slovak radio mourns that over 20 percent or the tractors in Slovakia— the eastern, primarily agricultural half of the country—are out of service "because of negligent handling by drivers."

Other reports indicage a lot of this negligence is deliberate—and that it's on the upswing.

Moscow's Pravda complains about the big number of power breakdowns which. are interfering with industrial production in Slovakia. The radio worries the number of breakdowns is not decreasing, but rising.

The Prague radio complains absenteeism is sometimes as high as 30 percent in .the heavy industries. The trade anion paper Prace says a great deal of that absenteeism is due to "shamming," This continued Red failure in Czechoslovakia may lead to new purges later this year—in another attempt to get men' running the Czech economy who can get things going right for the Russians: But these purges will get the Reds now-, where, think experts here studying the Czech problem. They figure the new economic czars will get no further than the men they replace: These students expect the Reds to keep, on failing—for these reasons: Part of the Czech's economic problems are a result of poor economic leadership., The Czech Reds include few men of high executive and economic ability. The, Czech Red party was weak in leadership. before the Reds in power in 1948; it's still considered weak in leadership: So; if today's poor economic leaders are, removed, they're likely to be replaced by economic leaders just as poor.

Another part of Czechoslovakia's economic problems results from the ruthless way the Red bosses have lowered. the standard of living and mistreated Czechoslovak workers.

The Reds have used many of the same methods they used in Russia. These ruthless methods worked there because people were used to a low standard of living and used to force.

The Czechs, however, are used to a high standard of living. They're not happy about the lowering of their living (Continued on page 23.)

VEST N I K — WEST, TEXAS

TO THE DELEGATES AND VISITORS OF THE 16th CONVENTION OF THE SPJST If you will stay at the Rice hotel your I car will be taken care of. If you will stay with relatives or friends you will have to park your own car in one of the nearby parking lots or come in on the bus which is not too bad. Your meals will be no problem at all. You may have your breakfast or lunch at one of the four places at the hotel or you may eat at various places close to the hotel for whatever price you wish to pay. For a reasonable price you may have good food mostly anywhere close to the hotel.

We also will try to give you names of places close to the hotel, so you may find them as easily as possible.

Here and there we hear rumors about our planned banquet which will take place at the Rice hotel, there will be a cocktail party preceding the banquet and a dance after with music by BACAS This banquet was planned with a special menu to be suitable for every one. All you have to buy is your banquet ticket and the cocktail and the dance will be free for you to enjoy. Some one mentioned that these banquet tickets will cost $15.00. For your information and peace of mind, they will cost you $5.00.

Our hopes are that every delegate at thin convention will attend this banquet. As for the ladies attending this banquet, I want to assure you that whatever you

They've been used to having enough clothes—and enough food and meat. The. Reds have cut back the clothing and shoe industries in order to build up the heavy war industries. They've let food production drop to get men for the factories. This makes the Czechs unhappy.

While lowering real wages the Reds have tried to speed up work in the factories on a sort of piece-work basis. The Czech workers resent these lower wages and these speed-up methods. Unlike the Russian worker, they'd been used to better things). So the Czech workers and the Czech farmers have silently carried on a sort of intermittent slowdown strike.

They skip work; they drift to new jobs, they hide crops if they're farmers; they don't work fast! they put sand in the bearings of machines of workers who do work too fast.

wear is optional with you. I know that everyone of us will try to look our best, but that does not mean you will have to wear an evening dress. Each one will be our own judge; wear what ever you feel like. To think about it, you know, after all, it will be only us that will keep company to each other. No? Wednesday, we hope will be a pleasant surprise for you, Sister delegates and the wives of delegates. The sisters of the BIRTHDAY CLUB will be the host to you at a luncheon at the famous SHAMROCK HOTEL. The management also promised to take 'us on a tour to see special places at the hotel for which it is so popular. Lady visitors wishing to join us, may, do so by buying their ticket for the price of $3.50. These tickets will be on sale already Sunday on the mezzanine floor. Do not worry about your dresses, just look your best, even a cotton dress, they are very popular this season.

I also want to mention, that the committee will try to be very helpful. For your convenience a map will be printed on your programs which you will be able to follow to take you out to the Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88, Lodge Stefanik No. 142 and to the Shamrock Hotel. And, besides, your information booth will be open every day.

Musings of the Editor (Continued from page 19.) members be satisfied? Wouldn't there. be a cry that we do not want to have any medieval triumvirate in this "land ofd the free and the home of the brave?", So the members want to have more than three officers to .run the affairs of our Order. But how many more? Would, you include Mr. Mims, our actuary? , Our members say "No". Our members do not consider that a technical man, like an actuary, be a policy making officer.

When we ask the actuary to figure out rates, he figures them out the way arithmetic tells him to figure it out. He is a technical man.

• • SIMILARLY, THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR is a technical man. If he -turns down an applicant because he is overweight, shows certain unfavorable symptoms, or any of the things which appear in the medical reports as undesirable, he does it because the rules of his profession tell him to do it. In the same way, our financial secretary is a technical man who more than any other of- • ficer at the headquarters is being guided by rigid rules of bookkeeping and accounting. He cannot be 75 percent correct, like the other officers in the subjective thinking, he cannot be 95 percent correct and let 5 percent of errors go with "Let good enough alone;" he must be 100 percent correct. He is a technical man.

THE SUGGESTION IS that we should have the editor appointed and not elected. Personally, I would not favor the idea, for two reasons. The editor of the Vestnik is a policy making officer.

If he is not, get rid of him, and get a man who can think independently for the good of the SPJST. The editor should make something out of the Vestnik, something or another, according to his ideas and abilities, following the trend of thinking of the majority; and following the policy making for ' the SPJST. And, secondly, if the Supreme Lodge appoints an editor, it may control him. The control may be very subtle, not in words or action, but by subconscious restraint of the editor who would be a little afraid to say openly and frankly about things, if they were not NAME good at the headquarters. I may be mistaken, but as I know our members I OLD ADDRESS don't think they want that restraint They want a free editor. They want a LODGE free speech. And they want a free press NEW ADDRESS —free Vestnik. But the suggestion is Mail to: SUPREME LODGE SPJST, given and it is up to the members to de-(dz) cide what they want.

LETTERS SOKOL HOUSTON Nazdar: Somehow or other we got an early start or are putting in double time to put this over, but Sokol Houston will hold its Barbecue on May 25th on its grounds, 4515 Edsee St. Youan bet it will be tops.

There will be barbecued beef, sausages, and all the trimmings, drinks of all kinds, coffee, kolacky, and other bakery.

Games will be played and there will be music and dancing.

By now the most of you are familiar with the Sokol Building and grounds and know that it is an ideal place for an.auting. Let's all turn out and give the Sokols a big attendance for this affair.

1 • A, • POKROK HOUSTON LODGE NO. 88 Our play "Deti Slovace" will be played _ June 1st after having been put off from May 11, due to the illness of Karel MatE..jka, one of the leading players. He is now home from the hospital which is very good news. As I have said in my previous letters, this operetta has everything you could wish for in a play. The costumes are beautiful, the dances gay, the songs melodious and the story of the play has both humor and drama.

You will laugh to your heart's content at some scenes and then again in another scene, a tear or two will trickle down your cheek. The play will start promptly at 3 p. m. as we have to change scenery in each act and the play is longer than we usually present. Mrs. Hanus will have a wonderful Czech dinner and supper prepared and it will be greatly appreciated. You know hew everyone goes for (tliose ':home-made kolaches. I also want to say that our play "Deti Slovace" will be repeated June 23rd at 7:30 p. in. at our lodge dur_ ing the SPJST Convention.

Harriette Earl ) • 46 • ( PARLIAMENTARY SUGGESTIONS Editor Vestnik: If you question the following, check with any experienced lodge member; you pick your lodge. Or did you attend precinct or county conventions?

1. At our next convention, the presiding officer will name ' several committees. So, according to custom, the first name called is automatically chairman of the committee. When reporting as chairman and at the conclusion of the report, he, adcording to custom, addresses the Chair and says; "Brother Chairman, I move the adoption of the resolution." This does not mean that he or she is trying to railroad the resolution,

LIS

but only to expedite it, a time saver, as something must be done with the resolution.

2. Nowhere in the annals of Fraternal organizations is the Grand Convention presided by the Temporary Chairman. The Grand President presides until his successor is elected. Our mode follows the political party system.

3.. Nowhere among fraternal or business organizations is the Editor elected; by electing the editor make him independent of the Grand Lodge officers.

This can cause considerable friction. By the election of the Editor we might as well say, that the directors of ai bank tell the president of the bank who his bookkeepers silould be.

4. It is the custom of the fraternal or business organizations for the presiding officer to appoint all committees. It is the purpose of a Committee to report on the subject which they have been appointed for. It is customary to adopt their recommendation.

Greatly missed will be the teacher, Alexander Kotchetovsky, who passed away on March 2nd of this year. How ever, his work is being carried " ,on successfully by his assistants, Barbara Lee Rankin and Florrie Olenbush.

Participating in this recital will be two Czech girls, Marilyn Earl and Andrea Vodehnal, both of whom have studied at this school for years. They are in the professional class and with it will present two numbers; School deBallet, which gives one an idea of the various steps they go through during a dance lesson. In this they will wear short costumes of white satin and nylon net.

They will then be featured in a toe Solo, Marilyn's costume of orchid and white and Andrea's of pink and white. As a class they will also do a Russian Character number, costumes of light blue organdy and royal blue satin.

Marilyn will also be one of the Graces in "Spring." The choreography of the ballet "Spring" is Alexander Kotche, tovsky's last piece of work, he having completed it just before his death. The music of "Spring" was written by a young promising Houston composer, Charles Gallankamp.

Andrea will also appear With a class 'of younger pupils, who will do the ballet "Les Sylphides." In this Andrea does the adagio with George Haber. The bal-

Marek President of the Supreine Lodge and Bro. Charles Navratil one of the Board of Directors. Bro. Marek initiated Sis. Louise Fo.? ? ? into our SPJST order.

Everyone also enjoyed the fine speech

by Bro. Marek honoring Mother's Day. Everyone also enjoyed the poems and instrumental numbers presented by the boys and girls. We wish to thank all the ladies who brought the pies, cakes and kolaches also prepared the nice lunch_ The Mothers who received the gifts were Sister Helen Zich and Sister Carl Zich.

Bra. Bartek asked that all the delegates and members who can attend the district meeting in West May 25.

The next dance will be Sunday, May 25 and the music will be by G. S. Snapka and his orchestra from Seymour. Tell all your friends about this dance and try to come.

We all are very happy, the way, the whole affair turned out, rather say, above our expectation. Weather was perfect, nice sunny day neither hot, nor cold; 'plenty of good eats and drinks, and most welcoming of all, a nice crowd.

At 11:30' a. m. our Ledge President Bro. Kueera, called the meeting to erder, which was only to initiate new members, introducing Supreme Lodge Sec'y Chupick, asking him to take over. By doing So, Bro. Chupick proceeded with the initiation ceremony of new members which were: Bennie and Mildred Banjo, Lena Penicka and daughter Dorothy Ann, Marguaret Kudr and son Joe Wayne,

Evelyn Regmund, Lillie Wolfe, Walter Lero, John Gordon Harmon, Adolph Kudera, Jr, William Kueera, Anton Hajek, Jr., Woodrow Novak.

Sorry they all .couldn't be present for the initiation.

After the ceremony, Bro. Kucera took over and called the meeting closed, and invited everyone to a luscious dinner, which was ready for everyone to help themselves to all their heart desired.

I must say that Sisters and friends of our Lodge really responded to our request of bringing cakes and potato salads, which was very nice of them.

After dinner President Kucera called the house to order, and proceeded with the program concerning Fiftieth Anniversary of our Lodge Bedrich Smetana and Mother's Day Ritual.

First, President Kucera introduced our celebrant of the day._ Bro. Jacob Sramek, the only Charter Member to be able to be present, wishing him many more years of health and happiness. Bro. Sramek asked for another 50 years. As healthy and spry as he is, it would be no wonder; at 88 years 'of age he can be easily qompared with anyone of 60; enjoys a good joke, and has a brilliant memory. In the near future you will read history of our Lodge; it will be all his work.

Than our distinguished guests and speakers were introduced in person; as Sec'y Chupick of Supreme Lodge, Dr. Skrivanek professor of Houston university. Dr Skra,banek, professor of A and M. College and Editor Valcik of Houston.

Those of you, who have heard these eloquent speakers, know what I mean, when I say, we were very happy to have them as our speakers for this particular day.

On behalf of our Lodge many thanks to all of you and reserve the rights in future, if in need, to call on you again.

After this part of program there was a short recess. Than Editor Valcik presented his films to a well-filled house and well pleased audience in three parts.

First part was showing of scenery and way of life in the Republic of Guatemala. The scenery resembles that of California in many ways, but the way of life must not equal that of old Mexico, at least in Mexico they have donkeys to carry their loads, while Guatemalans carry things in baskets on their heads. , Second pjaIrt was of Texas Czechs Get-together and celebrations; very interesting, enjoyed seeing that, as we were just in midst of one as you dear folks were having.

Third part, last but not least: Finished product of skilled artisans. Judging by the Oh's and A's that were heard

Wednesday, May 21, 1952,

AMERICA IS EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS Many decades ago a group of prominent and respected men set out to establish a business. Although they had different ideas as to how it was to function, they possessed a set of common principle and ideals. Already having the site of this business, their first job was to decide the type of organization they desired, the service it would render to society, and how it would , affect ooming generations. Thousands of individuals were made stockholders and the dividends were immeasurable. It has proven to be one of the most beneficial institutions in the history of mankind. This business, in which about 150,000.00 of us have an interest today, is called the United States of America.

The ideals and beliefs of the founders of our country were summed up in such ' documents as the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution. The Bill of Rights, standing for the conception that the individual is important, has guaranteed us economic as well as political freedom.

This in turn has encouraged the principle of free enterprise which is responsible for the development of our natural resources, scientific advancements, and our high standard of living. Other ideals enumerated in the Bill of Rights have encouraged our wonderful system of public education and many other institutions working for the betterment of the citizens.

When we think of citizenship and our duties as such, voting, serving on juries, acting as public officers, and paying taxes usually come to mind first. These specific tasks of the citizen rate of the utmost importance, but behind them stands life itself. This is the art of living' a good and clean life, worthy of the human race. If the ideals, morals, and character of a people are not above reproach, neither will be the policies of the Government or country.

Too many American may be found going about their daily activities week after week with little or no thought nor care as to, the issues of government and politics and to world affairs. Such a pemon casually comments to an equally disinterested friend on some social problem or a scandal among government officials; but if asked what he intends doing about it, he would answer with the familiar curt reply: "What could I do? I am only one person, and besides, I know nothing about such matters." Such attitudes are most dangerous to a society such as ours. Remembering that America was founded upon the principle

that society is made up of individuals, each American should make it his responsibility to know as much as possible about his government and assume the duties and responsibilities that his citizenship entials. He must be an active citizen interesting himself in local, State, and national government, voting wisely, thinking, speaking, and acting to preserve and strengthen freedom, equality, and opportunity for each individual. Freedom for individuals carries with it an equal responsibility to use that freedom wisely. Therefore, if we wish to remain free, we must faithfully fulfill our responsibilities as free men.

The average citizen cannot be expected to solve all the problems of the intricate art of government, but he should study and determine the general principles of government. The right to vote is the individual's most potent weapon in the protection of his rights and freedoms. To be effective such a weapon must be constantly and wisely used with party affiliations disregarded in some instances. The United States must consist of an• alert, active, and intelligent mass of citizens.

The American public, always quick to criticize its political leaders, often pictures politicians as either entirely good., or bad. The shifty and weak will often receive praise simply because of their conforming to the whims of the people, while the one heroically trying for the right will receive only abuse. While criticism is important, it is one of the first duties of the citizen to be just to the officers of his Government. The good opinion of citizens is one of the highest prizes for which a public officer may hope. The citizen should be discriminate in bestowing praise or censure, not only because it is his duty to judge all men fairly, but because it will be an incentive toward right conduct and good government. Also he must learn to weigh facts and use his judginent as to what is right.

Most of us have confidence in ourselves and our country. We do not claim perfection, but we have faith in our ability to move forward, to improve and to grow. However, self-satisfaction can do much to endanger a democracy as proven by the fall of Athens and others of the great civilizations that existed years ago. A certain feeling of optimism or faith as to the condition of the country must be maintained, but not without facing reality. Whenever people reach this state they are unwilling to accept changes and their culture is apt to become stagnant or even decay. We must

see that' nothing obstructs the progress of the American ideals.

If we understand and guide our lives by the principles' upon which America was founded, we will be helping to Make not 'only our country, but the world as well a better place in which to live. Because man's horizons have expanded, what happens in the world affects him, and his actions affect the world. Each man has a responsibility to act, and to encourage his country to act, so that freedom and cooperation will be encouraged among the people and nations of the world.

The following excerpt from a poem

by Margaret Fromrne well illustrates the goal which should be in the heart of every American: "Our task is not to build the highest building; The longest bridge; the finest road; The most modern house; but to build a world Where everyone has the highest ideals, The fullest life, the education to fit them for the best way of living; And where every house is a home."

Our standard of living and the ideals upon which our form of government is based are similar to those for which the peoples of the world have strived since the beginning of history. The American people possess the material and cultural advantages men have dreamed of for thousands of years. It is our duty, the business of every American to appreciate, protect, and enrich the heritage that is ours. ) • 4) • "Mother, I wish I didn't look so flatchested," said my 15-year old daughter as she stood before the mirror in her first formal dress.

I remedied the matter by inserting pufs of cotton in strategic places. Then I hung around Mary's neck a string of real pearls—just as my grandmother had done for my mother and my mother for me.

At midnight her escort brought her home. The moment the door closed behind him Mary burst into tears. "I'm never going out with him again," she sobbed. "Mother, do you .know what he said to me? He leaned across the table and said, 'Gee, you look sharp tonight, Mary. Are those real?' " "I hope you told him they were," I said indignantly. "They've been in the family for three generations!"

My daughter stopped sobbing. "Oh, the pearls! Good heavens, I'd forgotten all about them."
