PRIPRAVY KU SJEZDU DYZ nekterY Glen z Houstonu vyjede si v ptitomne dobe nekam K mezi zname a sejde se s jinynri eleny Jednoty, jedna z prvnich otazek bYva: "Tak co, pkipravujete se hodne tam v Houstonu ku sjezdu?"

Neni to pouze otazka ze zvedavosti nebo zdvotilosti, ale vethriou prozrazuje to skuteeny zdjem na torn, jak dalece se pokroeilo v pfipra.vach k nastavajleimu sjezdu. Obyeejne se tim vyrozumiva, do jake miry bratti a sestry v Houstonu se ptipravuji, aby nav gtevniktim, hosttim a delegattun byl Gas pobytu na sjezdu zptijernn.en nebo do jake miry bude o jejich pobaveni a pohodli postarano.

Jsou ale je gte jine pfipravy, mnohem pfipravy samotnYch delegatit zvolenYch do sjezdu, o kterYch malokdo pfemYSli. Tyto pfipravy se poneehavaji obyeejne a2 do sameho jednani sjezdoveho, tedy na starost tern, ktefi se maji starati o iispech a hladke jednani sjezdu.

Pfi jedne distriktni schtizi pololena byla nakm hlavnim tifedniktim otazka, na vlas podobna dotazu od venkovskeho Mena: "Tak co, ptipravujete se?" A v odpoved', zdali hlavni ittednici maji aspori nejaky prozatimni a nezavaznY rozvrh nebo plan pro lenSi a rychlejM sjezdove jednani, bylo vysvetleno, Ze tikoly sjezdu nedaji se ptedem fesiti, neni moZno pfedem odhadovati, do jake miry se debata rozvine, a Ze nejspolehlivejSim planem bude drZeti se potadku, jak je naznaken ve stanovach.

Z velke easti je to pravda, Ze sjezdova nalada, rozmanite otazky a jejich vysvetnahodile problemy a jejich tekni a podobne body nedaji se ptedpovidati. TakovYch booth ptijde cela tada. Avkik je te2 celd tada ureitYch veci, ktere jsou bud' jiste, ptijdou na pfettes anebo ktere se pravdepodobne budou esiti. Na tyto ureite a pravdepodobne body bychom men bYti do jiste miry pfipraveni.

Ve stanovach mame elanek, ze

vkch-

no sjezdove zasedani se ma rlditi dennim pokadem, kterY je postupne naznaeen, lee by dvoutfetirrova vetAina delegatti rozhodla o jinem potadu. V-Simneme si, co stanovy naznaduji.

Prvnim bodem na potadu je zahajeni sjezdu ptedsedou Hlavni tidadovny. Hned zde je tteba ureite procedury. MU& to bYti v devet hodin rano, mute to bYti tfebas az o jedenacte. Odklad a opozdeni je moZne, ba pravdepodobne.

Dejme tomu, ze pfedseda Hlavni ritadovny nebo cela Hlavni ittadovna prohlasi pfedem, ze sjezd bude zahajen v devet hodin rano. Pkipust'rne vAa,k, Ze domaxi tad nebo kady pfipravi okazalY ptivitaci program, trochu zpevu, trochu trochu modleni, trochu parady a reklamy. Delava se to. Hned zde stava moZnost oddaliti zahajeni sjezdu o hodinu nebo i vice.

Jista sluSnost, okazalost nebo dekorum musi se dodrZovati. Obyeejne se pozve mayor mesta nebo nektera osoba spojena, s administraci mesta, aby delegaty a navStevniky uvitala. Nato ptijde podekovaci fee. Je tfeba planu a dohody, zdali takove okazalosti. se maji provadet pti zaeatku sjezdu, nekdy mezi jednanim nebo a2 ku konci. Kahla organisace si to zafizuje die sveho ptedbeZneho planu.

Jsou organisace, ktere zahaji sve jednani, zjisti ptitomnost zastupcti, zvoli si sve Utedniky a vYbory, a zatim co vYbory pracuji, dojde na uvitadi proslovy a jine projevy sluSnosti. U jinYch organisaci jsou zdvokilostni projevy rozdeleny tak, aby vSechny neptiSly ye stejnou dobu, ale rozdeleny byly neco na zaeatku, neco uprostted sjezdu, new pied ukoneenim sj ezdu.

Dejme tomu, ze celY uvitaci program nebude trvati vice neZ dve hodiny, ae hodina snad teZ by postaeila. Tedy randy mezi desatou a jedenactou hodinou bude pociana zprava tfielenneho vYboru na povetujici listiny. Zde 째pet milZe jednani bYti hlaclke anebo inuze se protahnouti.

Prikladne, vyvstane otazka, c ureitY de-

legal byl zvolen v prosinci, ale pro nejakou ptieinu jinY delegat byl zvolen v lednu. Na dukaz spravnosti bude ptedlo2ena, kniha zapiskil od zmineneho fadu. Bude se v takovem pkipadu jednani protahovati, aZ se sjezd ustali, kterY z tech dvou delegatt je pravoplatnYm? Anebo bude se pokraeovati v dalSim jednani? Tim, 2e 'loco podobneho se v minulosti vyskytlo takila na kaZdem sjezdu, delegati by mohli ptemYgleti, jak te giti choulostive body tohoto druhu, aby sjezd se neprotahoval.

Na mysl ptichazi, ze prospelo by sjezdu velice, kdy2 by Hlavni ritadovna promyslila ureite pokyny a povetila hlavniho pfedsedu, aby je ptednesl pri sve zahajo-' vaci reef. Toto je pouze male upozorneni, na ktere nikdo nemusi brati ohled. LeC vime vSichni, Ze kdy2 nejake vetAi teleso se shromahli 2a fieelem vytvoteni dalgich smernic, nekterY povolailY mluvei, nektera autorita, pfednese svoje poselstvi.

6ini tak president SpojenYch state ku kongresu, promluvi guverneti pfi zahajeni zasedani statnich zakoncxidren, a praktikuje se tak u kaale velke skupiny lidi.

A kdyby snad Hlavni Tradovna jako celek neuvaZovala o tomto bodu, mohl by tak ueiniti hlavni ptedseda. Sam nejlepe vi, jake otazky budou na sjezdu projednavany, a bylo by to v rainci jeho kdy2 by ani neeekal na souhlas cele Hlavni tifadovny, ale podal sam sve poselstvi delegattim pfi zahajeni sjezdu.

Ivlohl by odporueiti, co on uznava, aby sjezd projednal; mohl by zdirrazniti otazky nalehave, a mohl by poukazati na veci podradneho vYznamu. Prikladne, jeho nahled v otazce dtulny by byl vitanY, at' tak nebo onak. Podobne v oto.zce std.Mho dornova pro ristredi mohl by bratr Pteciseda vysloviti se pied delegaty otevrene, tak nebo onak, bez ohledu na Wizen nebo kritiku tech nebo onech, mt4ne, otevtene, od srdce k srdci, pro lcpSi budoucnost nagi.

VASTNIK— WEST, TEXAS Bratr F. E. Hejl, Men tadu 11-nvezda Texasu eislo 47, ma v tomto eisle dopis, kde yySvetluje, Ze otazka lep giho sidla hlavniho telesa byla vyvolana, drobnjrm lidern a obyeejnYmi eleny hned pted gestnacti lety. Debata ma hodne star gi pozadi a snad byla zavinena neptedloknosti pisatele. Byl nynej gi redaktor je gto velmi horkokrevnYm holobradkem, ktereho nejakYm omylem zvolili za elena freetniho vYboru Hlavni Utedovny. Jezdivali jsme prohliZet knihy hlavniho tajemnika, bratra J. R. Kubeny — byl tenkrate on jedinjrm vYkonnYm Atednikem jednou za tti mesice. Jezdi yal jsem do Fayetteville ylakem. Nekdy hodne po pulnoci gtrachal jsem ye Fayetteville od nadra'Zi k jedinemu hotelu, ktery tam staval na rohu.

Cele mesteeko dal/no spalo. Potme jsem nahmatal dvete a schody nahoru, kde bylo pet nebo gest svetnic prazdnYch. At nahote jsem nahmatal na stene gnuru, za kterou jsem potahl a rozsvitil svetlo.

Pak jsem si vybral kteroukoliv svetnici s otevtenYrni dvetmi. Byly-li dvete zavtene, znamenalo to, ze bud' bratr Syptak (stargi), nebo bratr Vavra, nebo bratr Cervenka, nebo nekterjr cestujici jednatel mne y e vYberu svetnic ptedbehli. Tak to chodilo od zaeatku roku 1925 nejakkch pet, Aest let. Jednou, pti lednove schrizi, jsem v "hotelu" pol'adne se nastudil a nerozvaine jsem napsal Inaba pochyalnk alanek, k v sidle Hlavni frtadovny neni ani kloudneho mista k ptenocovani. Byl to ode mne nerozum. Piece easy se meni a zlep'Suji. Dries ma, kaZdY sve auto. Zmenilo se i mesteeko Fayetteville — hotel je cla,vno zbouranY. Misto jednoho Utednika mame tam etyti. Dues leckterY z nich by, mi radostne poskytnul pohodlnou svetnici k noclehu. Nemel jsem tenkrate vystupovati tak bezohledne proti kolebce nag' Jednoty. jenZe tenkrate jsem neveal lepgi a zbyteene jsem zaaal bezfieelnou debatu, ktera od onoho easu nas stala hodne penez na kaktern sjezdu. To byla prace, s kterou se nemusim pyAnit. Dnes klonim hiavu a jen geptam: moje lVfea culpa, mea maxima culpa velika vina. Odpusti mi kdo?

Znovu opakujeme, aby elenove neeekali se svjrmi ptispevky a zpravami do Vestniku at do soboty. Istekdy ani "special delevery", poslanY redaktoru na ho adresu do Houstonu, neni pla,tnY, ponevadZ obeas redaktor dostane vnuknuti, aby jel neka.m sto dye ste mil do nektere schfize, misto aby eekal doma na zpoZdenY dopis. Bude asi nejlep gi, kdyZ se to na pti gtim sjezdu upravi tak, by se yyhovelo tem, kdo zapominaji psati yeas.

At' redaktor bydli v miste, kde se na y organ tiskne. JenZe je v torn je gte jiny haeek. Sazee musi miti ureite mnoZstvi latky kaZdY den a nestaei ykehno vysazet

Strana 3 az v sobotu nebo v pondeli. Proto i kdyby, redaktor byl v miste, aby dopisy je nemoZnosti pro sazeee, aby je vysazel.

Prosime, neeekejte az ku konei tYdne se syYmi zpravami do Vestniku. To stare iidove 'tern, "kdo driv prijde, &iv mete", plati i pro vase dopisy.

Pokaide tegi redaktora, kdyZ" nekterY bratr nebo sestra napi gi a vyslovi se otevrene, to nesouhlasi v nektere \ Ted s nahledy redaktora. Davan tim sami sobe vysvedeeni, ze premYSleji a to neptikyvuji.. TakovYch Mean, jet mysli sarnostatne, pottebujeme v gude, ye verejnem.

Zivote, v soukromem podnikani, a ten v nagem spolkovem 2iti. A redaktor ma z toho radost. Vtdyt' nejedna tadka a nejeden odstavec jsou psany jedine za tim freelem, aby vyvolaly odezvu, aby povzbudily vice zajem o to nebo one otazce.

Pracujeme v gichni na spoleene yeci, ale kaZdY mame jine nazory. Pohled'te na, kvetnatou zahradu, kde zahonky rozma-, niteho kviti, a ani jeden z nich nemfr2G byti ptirovnan k druhemu, ani vim!,, ani barvou. Ba kdybyste otrhali z jednoho stromu vgechny listy a hledeli je ptirovnati, sotva byste na gli dva listy stejneho yzrustu, stejne velikosti nebo stejne zahnute. V rozdilu forem, barev a yfini nachazime to krasu, kterou jsme uchvaceni. Je proto gtestim, to kaZdY mame line nahledy a libfistky.

A jeg te sam pravnik v jeho zprave pige, le on nedostane vypiaceno jell° komisne az rok pfejde. Tedy dle jeho zpravy on ma jeg te hodnou sumu ku dostani, nebot' dle zprav Mc:Mika udelili jsme oek za $1,169,594.00 v roce 1951. Tak die jeho zpravy, my mu z tohoto je gte budeme muset jedno procento vyplatit, col eini $11,695.94.

Mill bratti a sestry: Souhlasim s na gm redaktorem a eleny, ae na§1 hlavni fitednici by nam meli dat sve pokyny, co a jak by se melo zavesti, aby to zlepSilo nag Jednotu, aby to ulehOno jejich praci v Hlavni fitadovne, aby se nape Jednota lope osvecleila vic a vice elentim. Jsou to na g fitednici, kteti jsou zapracovani ne Zest dni v kaZdem tYclnu, ale tak •ka celYch sedm dni. Pozorujte Vestnik, kolik tech nedeli v poslednich par mesicich byli na g Utednici doma.

Nedele jak nedele, jsou kdesi na schilzich nebo slavnostech, podavaji to a to, udi nas to a to, a potad neco k dobru nag Jednoty. Dal bych navrh, aby ve Vestniku byly kouteoky jak "OD STOLKU NASEHO PREDSEDY", "0 DSTOLKU NASEHO TAJEMNIKA" a jine. V techto sloupcich by nag. Utednici meli pravo nam fici, co si pteji, co je noveho, co by nam prospelo, vnbec vAe, co by udelalo nag Jednotu jegte Dale o drahote toho naSeho Vestniku.

Mnoho a mnoho nageh elenil nevi, jakou skuteenou cenu nas Vestnik ma.

papiru. Na prvni stranku bych dal wady nejaky historickY obrazek. s kratgm Olankem ohledne toho obrazku, co by byl vybran za tento tYclen. Mohli bychom zadit s obra.zkein naAelio prvniho tajemnika, bratra Kubeny, kterY tak nefinavne pracoval pro dobro na g Jednoty.

Dale piSeme o ptesidleni na.$1 Hlavni iiadovny do yetgho mista. Abychom si zakoupili naa domov je dobra mygenka a mela by se jednou uskutednit. Kam dat Hlavni irtadovnu je ale otazka, v ktere by nam meli dat na g hlavni Utednici sve pokyny, nebot' jsou to oni, kteti nejlepe vedi, kde by to bylo nejlepAi pro na g Jednotu. 1VIuj nahled je, ae Hlavni Utadovna by mela b't ve sttedu statu, jestli budeme navady einnYmi jenom ve statu Texasu. Ale jestli zapodneme nekdy obchodovat v jinYch statech, tak bych ji dal do Dallas, aby byla bliZe sttedu tohoto noveho obchodovdni.

Myslite, ae je to hloupe mluvit o obchodu v jinych statech, ale neni to tak hloupe jak se to zda. Na piiklad, byl jsem zamestnan v Oklahoma City rok a ptil a vim, ae v torn okoli je asi pet taciti jine Ceske jednoty a Ze je tam mnoho nageho lidu, jak v mestech tak na yenkove. DobrY organisator by tam dostal mnoho elenu. TakovYch state je vice, kde aije mnoho naS'eho lidu.

Dale slYchavam a pi pe se take o torn na'Sem hospodateni, je moc drahe a ae se penize rozhazuji, taktka lopatou. Jenom se podivejte na naSi finanCni zpravu a posud'te spravedlive, co se udelalo jenom za ta posledni etyti leta, totia od posledniho sjezdu. Myslim, ae to hospodateni neni tak S'patne, jak si nekteti Cleni mysli. Jsem zamestnan svetoznamou Sears Roebuck, a kdyZ pfi rovnam to tak zvane rozhazovani penez u nag Jednoty, tak nme je nekdy do smichu. Jejich vydani jenom za prasatka, ktere davaji farmatskYm hochti• zdarma, je vetSi nea cele vyclani s vedenim nag Jednoty.

Dal bych dale navrh na gm delegatimi, aby se podivali po svem okoli, kolik by asi bylo tech starch, co by si ptali jiti do toho domova pro stare Cleny, a co by si asi ptali. To by u gettilo mnoho dasu, jestli na to ptijde 'ye sjezdu, aby se vedelo, kolik by toho mista asi bylo tteba. Na to by se mohl ustanovit yYbor, ku kteremu by delegati odevzdali sve zpravy o tech starchelenech. Tento vybor by potom mohl hned sjezdu podat zpravu, kdya na to ptijde, kolik tech elentl je, kteti by si toho domova pfali.

Chteli bychom ukondit sjezd za tii dny.

Ano, nifiZe se tak stat, jestli budeme dot odbYt praci, ktera je nutna pro dobro na$i Jednoty Ale jestli budeme mluvit zbyteene o torn a o torn, jenom aby nas sjezd slysel, anebo hleclet jenorn sami

9 pro sebe neco udelat, tak to neudelame za tii dny ani za dtyti. Nechejme doma vetSinu nagch stiZnosti, ktere neprospeji nag Jednote a held'me vykonat co nejvice prace pro na g Jednotu a udelame to dtive.

Tak uz toho je pro dnes closti. Necharn troche toho mista pro lep g near jsem jd.

Cteni bratii a sestry: Sleduji zpravu vYboru na opravu sta.= noy, a hlavne odporueeni vYborti ne hlavniho organisatora. Sam jsem o torn vSem hodne rozmYSlel, nae a prbe mime miti statniho organisatora. Takoveho schopneho statniho organisatora, jakeho odporudujete, jak by musel bYti vySkolenY, jake schopnosti by od neho byly poladdvany, musel by bYti dobte platen. Kdybyste si jakkoliv zakladali no hlavniho organisatora a jeho povinnosti, piece jeden elo yek neudela, tolik prace jak mohou Cinni tadovi organisatoti udelat. Takovi, kteii nejsou schopni upsati ani za 12 tisic dolarn poj1Steni do roku, nic nedelaji a nieli by bYti nahraZeni jinYmi. Naborova prace neni lehka ani nikdy skoneena, to je ietizek, na .nekterem elanku nekdy se pracuje a2 par let.

Jini agenti dobte vi, ae na pe Jednota ma dobre pojistky a dava dobre ykhody je tak levna jak jine. Kde na g organisatori dost nepracuji, tam jdou druzi genti od pojtSt'ujicich spoleenosti a ziskavaji Cleny, ktere jsme mohli my ziskat do Jednoty. Jenom stykem s lidmi docilujeme Uspechu. Zajiste domaci dovy organisator nejlepe zna domaci lidi a ma Uspech je ziskat.

Byvala doba, kdy se lehdeji pojistili i chudobni lido as do $5,000, coa v dnegli dobe neni, lido mnoho utraci na jing.a pojiSteni mnozi odkladaji stale, ae jim na to nestadi, coa prave by melo bYti prvni zajiateni a zaopatieni, co kaZdY eloyek dues na svete nejvice pottebuje, 2ijerne v tak rychle, nejiste dobe, Zr adnY nevi kdyZ rano z domu odejde, jestli se ZivY navrati.

KdyZ byla pied dvaceti lety ta velika deprese, mnohYm a innohYm zachranilo domovy a farmieky, ae men vet g obnos aivotniho pojigeni. Banky nechtely ptijtit penize a jak to pti go mnohYrn vhod jit si 'up-C.-deft na sve certifikaty, aneb v padu nutnosti zpenelit sve pojistky a zachranit svilj majetek, ktery by jinak byli pozbyli.

Dokud byl ptedsedou Hlavni fitadovny br, C. H. ChernoskY a nyni br. Ed. L.

Strana 10 Marek, oba naborovou praci dobte a davali Tram dobre pokyny a povzbuzovali rads organisatory ku vetSa einnosti. V nekterYch tadech agitaeni prate spi, a to nam. nejvice chybi. Nekde v fade i don-Ida fitednici jsou tomu vinni. ✓ dne5ni dobe mnoho lidi je odstehovanYch do mest, maji .dobre platy, tarn je tteba nejvice pracovati. ✓ rnnoha eeskYch rodinach dcera se provdala, za Arnerfeana, syn se ozenil s Arnerioankou, a rodiny jim rostou a pti byvaji. Jestli nejsou takove Ceske rodinne stromeeky vyhledany po haluzy rozvotvene nove rostouci rodiny, tak tam ztracime, kdy2 je nevyhledame, a ziskaji je jine pojiat'ujici spoleenosti.

Sneastnil jsem se dvou distriktnich schazi, totiZ v Taylor a H011and. Byly zajimave, ,dobte bylo vSe rozebrano a vysvetleno, ale stejne si myslim, nae distrikty, kdy2 Jednota ma, tady a mesieni schuze, do kterYch beztak lide radio chodi. Bude to zbyteena Utrata.

Distrikty maji poji§t'ujici spoleenosti, tea distriktni agenty, v Jednote se ten obchod vede dosud v tadech.

Jestli bystc zamyaleli udelat distrikty a zavodil jeden proti druhemu, tak to by aidelalo to nejvetai zlo a ptivadelo zavist.

Neminim se nieim chlubit, ale skutky mluvi za sebe. Mel jsem trochu zkuSenost. Sestnact roku jsem pracoval pro jistou pojig t'ujici spoleenost (Southland Life Ins. C. v Dallas) jako agent a byli jsme v Taylor dva a jeate distriktni agent. Pracovali jsme dohromady vs2dy svorne, protole to byly pravidla a upsanY kontrakt, Zadny nesmel neeo ptestoupit, aril Zaclneho nejak pomlouvat, neb nee() ptekroutit. Kdo by ptestoupil pravidla, musel by se limed vzdat prate a vratit "rate book", My agenti pracovali jsme nekdy spolu a o kornisne se rozdelili, aneb zase pracovali kaalY pro sebe. Distriktni agent byl platen, spoleenosti, nam nekdy yypomahal, ale s nami se nikdy nedelil o komisne.:nam 70%, obnoveni pojiStek 5% po pet rokti.

Posilali nam agenttim malt' dvoulistovy mesieni letaeek, hiavni zpra:vy, oznamein naSi einnosti atd. Zavady jsme nikdy Zadrie nemely, leda jestli nekdo nekdy ehtel se pokusit upsat "Application a day", and) "Application a week", dostal kaZ(iy za to odmenu.

Jednou do roka potadala spoleenost let do nektereho vet giho m.esta, coZ jmenovali "Round-up", tti dny. Kandy agent, ktery upsal 50 tisic pojiaeni do roka, mei vCecky Utraty zaplacene; kdr2 upsal 100 tisic, motel vziti i svoji Zenu. Bydlelo se tarn v hotelu, byly schaze, pied_naaky, vYlety, bankety a apasu dost.

Ja, nevim jak rnoh(4u nektere tady rok po roku neziskat ani jednoho elena. Snad jim aspon rodiny pilbyva. Organisatora hned poznate, kdyZ se podivate, maji svoji rodinu pojiStenou.

Take si myslim, de mame malo tech dobrYch starYch spolkovYch pracovnika, a mame si je vaait, dokud jich tu jegte mame, a ne delat hranice, Ze kdo dostoupi 70 let rienitiZe ua byt volitelnY.

Washington Zavora (eskaarneriekY roman

Washington Zavora piislibil Annii — sam sebe. Nyni pfemY glel, zdali nechybil, zdali se neprenahlii, neiniv tak.

"Ne, spravne jsem odpovidal si, uvaZuje o vlastnostech yzacne to div-{ ky, jeZ mu byla oddana celYm svym Zivotem, z jejiho2 jednani mohl nabYti pPesvedeeni, le jej miluje eistou, obetavou a nepctlaeitelnou laskou.

"Jsem ripine volnYrn," miuvil mladY Zavora k sobe po ceste. "Maryel se moji 2f nett stati' nennde. Svoji prvni lasku' jsem jiZ olelel, a ona jiste aspon castes-1 ne take. Zilstala-li v srdci' jejim nejaka bolest, zahoji se jiste pusobenim onoho zazraeneho leeitele, jim je eas. K tomu bude Maryel moji zasluhou vracena iipine svoboda, a povede-li se na g plan, i eiste jmeno.

Neni a nebude nfeeho, co by nine k ni poutalo. Jsem volnym nakladati se svoji rukou jak za dobre uznam. Bude to nanejvyg e spravne, vezmu-li se Annii za Zenu. Nechybim ani s ,ohledem na sve budouci Stesti, ueinim•li tak. Annie jest divkou pomilo ydni hodnou a lasku vzbuzujici, ti'ebas nebyla krasavici. Jeji dugevni pfednosti jsau mnohonasobnou nahradou za nejkrasnejAi tvaf. V jejich oeich jest dosti hloubky, v jejim srdci dosti situ, v jejich rtech dosti Zaru, aby i jinak byla pomilovani hodnou Zenugkou.

A k tomu jest eista, eistd yznegene, elsta svoji zasluhou. BYti Gist pH nevedomash jest krasno, ale neni zasluZno, tak jako neni zdsluhy v pactivosti bohaeove, v stkidmosti choreho..

Chvala path chud'asovi, trpicim nedostatkem, majicimu pfilehtost, jez zlodeje a zristavajicimu poctivcem; shiclmemu, jen se nemusi obavati, ae by mu dopfani si nejakeho poZitku phpravilo muka a piece se pozitku zdrZi. pravilo muka a piece se poZitku zdrh. jez proglo zaludy poku geni, jez prohlo nebezpeei svildnYch slov a vybojovalo Zasluha jest na shame deveete, "jez vi", ve eistote, kde rozumem Zeno., Velem divka."

Washington Annii je gte nemiloval. Obdivoval ji . . .

Brzy ale vystiidala podobne my glenky vzpominka na otce.

UbohY muZ! Jak tace nyni pyka za svoje vzpianuti; za to, ze se dal unesti svildriYin zjevem a sladkYrni slovy.

fund in Municipal bonds than to invest its total mortuary fund in mortgage loans.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND PROMOTIONAL WORK

OUR RATES, ETC. Our present rates or scale of premium paythents which has been in force since January 1, 1946 are based on 3 1/2 percent interest return on our mortuary fund according to the American Experience Table. These rates are very reasonable and despite the fact that the rates under this table are lower than the rates cf any other fraternal insurance association, anywhere, under our conditions and circumstances, these rates are adequate. The best evidence of that is the fact that the solvency of our Order has been increasing slightly, from year to year, for many years, as shown in Report A, under Item 13. Please, refer to it. The gradual increase of our solvency ratio, which is now 116,82 percent is due, in no small measure, to our very satisfactory mortuary fund investment interest return which in the year 1951, was 4.62 percent as shown in Report A, Under Item 12. No other fraternal organization or insurance company, doing business in Texas, has made such a high interest return on its mortuary fund as our Order. That evidences that our Order is well managed.

VARIOUS OPTIONS, FEATURES, ETC. The Double Indemnity Insurance feature; the Payor Insurance feature and the Premium Waiver feature which we adopted several years ago have proved very satisfactory. To the end of 1951, we have not paid a single Double Indemnity claim. We have allowed two Premium Waiver claims in only two instances, and that for a period of a few months. only, and we have not had a single claim for payment under our Payor Insurance feature.

STATE EXAMINATION The laws of the State of Texas prescribe that the Insurance Department of the State of Texas shall conduct an examination of the affairs of every fraternal Order operating in Texas. every two years. The Insurance Department may, if it so desires, make such examinations oftener. Our Supreme Lodge has not had a State Examination from May, 1948, until at the close of 1951. The fact that the State Insurance Department does not deem it necessary to examine our Supreme Lodge more often, has saved us a considerable sum of money. The last state examination cost us $3751.36. It was concluded several months ago, but so far we have not received. any report on it from the State Insurance Department.

The organizational department or przanotional work or endeavor of our Order is in the hands of the president of the Supreme Lodge, Brother Edw. L. Marek. Realizing, however, that this department needs and requires the assistance of all, that are interested in the progress and welfare of our Order,,I have at all times assisted him in this work in every way that I could and whenever necessity demanded it and/or whenever I was so requested to do so. I prepared, compiled and edited our rate books, prepared all supplements to our certificates incidental to the various new features that we have adopted, and have assisted him otherwise, not only personally but by correspondence with inquiries seeking various information relative to our rates, our various features, transfers from one class of insurance to another, etc., whenever I had an opportunity to do so, and/or when circumstances demanded it.

THE SUPREME LODGE OFFICE All the bookkeeping work at the Supreme office and everything connected with it, is, in the able hands of financialsecretary, Brother R. A. Urbanovsky. the early part of 1943, we inauguarated and/or installed in the Supreme Lodge office a new system of bookkeeping and keeping of all records of all the transactions of the Supreme Lodge, which system we were convinced, from experience, was needed here. This required the transcription or almost all of our books, and records, and all the various controls, in the Supreme Lodge office.

Struggling under a shortage of office personnel and experienced help, at that time, to assist in this work, it was an enormous undertaking. It required almost two years to complete it. However, experience has demonstrated that it was well worth the effort: You will be convinced of that easily if you visit our office.

If you want to know whether or not the present system of collecting premium payments from the local lodges is dependable, accurate, correst and satisfactory, ask your local lodge officers.

It saves a lot of work for the local lodge officers, and 99 percent of our local lodge officer, heartily endorse and/or approve it because it is accurate, correct, definite and dependable. Under this system thousands of dollars are saved annually, for the Order, which were formerly lost on account of lack of control, loose methods, indifference, and carelessness.

It requires more detailed work, on the part of the Supreme Lodge, and cv,,ts

Strana 21 more but it is worth its cost, many times, in actual dollars and cents saved, and besides it prevents a lot of misunderstanding, useless correspondence, and ill will.

All the work at the Supreme Lodge office Is well organized. Every record is complete in every detail. A copy is retained at the Supreme Lodge office of every instrument, statement or :letter or anything that goes out of the office, for future reference. All work is carried out without delay, every letter answered the day it is received, except, in such cases that there is a substantial reason for some delay.

As the secretary of the Suprenae Lodge, I have endeavored at all times to carry out all my duties and responsibilr: ties, to the best of my ability. I have endeavored at all times to deal with the members of the Order, as well as nonmembers, that had business with the Order, in an open, impartial, and straightforward manner, and have endeavored, to guard at all times, against any act of indiscretion, on my part, either by word, deed, or action, that might shed an unfavorable light on our Order.

Whenever I represented the Order, as the secretary of its Supreme Lodge at any meeting, program, or any other function, within the Order or outside of it, I have always endeavored to do se in a dignified, respectable, capable and appropriate manner so as to not cause embarrassment to anyone and with only one aim and purpose in mind, mid that was, to elevate the Order in the opinion of its members and the public, in general, in every way I could, and in every instance that I had an opportunity to do so.

It is my sincere hope that the x VI, Convention will elect good men for its Supreme Lodge officers and directors; men that are capable, honest, dependable; prompt in the performance of their duties; men that have specialized qualifications, capabilities and training for their duties and men that are willing to work and that want to work with their co-workers in harmony and that you shall then support them, with your confidence and good will.

Respecfully submitted, this the 17th day of May, 1952.

LETTERS DELEGATES AND VISITORS OF THE 16thCONVETIFHSPJ In my last letter two paragraphs were missing and my letter started with the third paragraph, i guess the two just got lost somewhere.. Our editor always cautions us to mail our contributions in time so he may read the proofs, but there arje always a few late corners, and I was one of them.

This time will try again to give you a few tips on our approaching convention, mainly of our program of entertainment.

Our program is scheduled for 5 days, beginning Sunday, June 22 through Thursday June 26. This program will be printed in booklet form. It will make a nice souvenir and. a reminder of our 16th convention. The complete program will be printed in our Vestnik for the inforbaton of .visitors. The delegates will receive one by mail two weeks before our convention. As fat as know, to print a program of entertainment will be something new, and we hope it will meet with your approval. Don't you think it would be wonderful if we would have our convention procedure planned and printed also? I am sure it would save us lots of time.

Delegates will be arriving Sunday. For ;that purpose, committees will be on hand c at the Rice hotel in the lobby and mezzanine floor. (Our convention will be held on the mezzanine floor.) The committee will be glad to help you in any way you wish.

Monday, before the convention opens, there will be few formalities that will take place. This time we included something new: MEMORIAL services for our departed members. This will take about 20 minutes: It will be very impressive.

We wish to impress each one of you, the iMportance of the few minutes given in memory to our deceased Brothers and Sisters. Any one not in favor of this, should leave the room, before the services begin. If you stay, please do not leave before it is over, out of due respect to the members that passed on to the unknown.

The same day, Monday night, Pokrok Houston Lodge No. 88 will be the host to all delegates, their wives, visitors, and members of Pokrok Houston Lodge No. 88 with a delicious supper. And to finish the evening, the Dramatic Club will present a Czech operetta "DETI SLOVACE". The admission will be 80c; the play will start at 7:30. Everyone will be able to get a good night's rest, because the play will be over at 10:30 Tuseday, our sister-lodge, Stefanik No. 142, will entertain at its home on Nolda all Street. Our lodge will be open

through_the consvention.._for anyone to come as they please.

Now this is a correction . . In my last letter I stated that the BACA'S orchestra will play for our dance. That was wrong. . • CORRECTION: Thursday, the 26th, at 6 to 7 cocktails will be served to anyone holding a banquet ticket. The banquet will begin at 7, your ticket will cost you $5.00; the menu is good I am sure you will enjoy your dinner. Following the banquet we will have a dance right there at the Rice hotel on the mezzanine floor with music by Nesvadba's.

The cocktails and the dance will be given with the compliments of Pokrok Houston Lodges No. 88.

With wishes of success to our 16th convention, Frances Olexa. ( itp Waco, Texas Dear Fellow Members: I fully agree with our editor that our Supreme Officers should contribute' regularly to our Vestnik. In fact, I believe that we should have a regular feature with a heading such as "FROM OUR PRESIDENT'S CHAIR" and "FROM OUR SECRETARY'S CHAIR", and others as needed. I believe that our editor should be independent and carry on his work with a free and unbiased mind for the good of our Order. I don't believe that our editor should be hindered in his thinking by anyone; but if he proves by his work that his thinking is unsound for the good of our Order, a provision I should be in our Bylaws to replace him with one that would give us sound material. I want to congratulate our present editor on his able performance of his work in Vestnik. I sincerely think he is able and has done splendid work up to now. . . Keep this up, Brother Valcik.

Much has been said about the cost of Vestnik, but very few of the critics have carefully compared the cost with the results that Vestnik has produced for us. It is the only medium we have that Constantly keeps us together. It is the only medium that constantly tells us and the public what we are doing and how.

I would suggest an improvement to Vestnik and that is, that it should have a better cover, preferably on white book paper, the front page to carry some historic or timely picture, with a paragraph or two telling us something of this historic event. For the first such cover I would suggest a picture of our first Supreme Secretary, the late Brother J. R. Kubena, who has done so much for our SPJST. Much has been said and written about moving our Supreme Offices to a larger city. In this respect, I feel that Our Supreme officers should give us their

views on where we shoud move and why.

Our supreme officers who live with the Problems should be the best qualified to make such suggestions. Personally, I believe that if we are going to confine our business only to the state of Texas, that we should be centrally located. But if we are some day going to solicit bus iness in other states, .we should move closer to the center of such activity, such as Dallas, Texas. I sincerely believe that we should settle this question for the good of all of us, since it is brought up in almost every convention and has already cost us several thousand dollars in discussion in the last four or five conventions. Prices are hardly going to be much lower, so let's get the job done.

Much time can be saved at the convention by useless talking about this and that, let's leave our petty grievances at home and only use time for things that will benefit us all. In this way we will save much valuable time and accomplish a lot more for SPJST. You, younger members, come in and write. Give us your ideas and what and how to do this and that . . . its you, young people, that will have to carry on• this work before you know it, and who knows but what your idea may make a big contribution to our SPJST. Sit down right now and tell us in your own way what you think would be good for SPJST. No one is going to criticize you and we will all be happy to hear from you, the LEADERS OF TOMORROW. Fraternally yours, Otto Hanus. ) " 4 BROTHERS and SISTERS, we want you to have your Vestnik. Whsn you have a change in address, please send your change of address to the Supreme Lodge SPJST, Fayetteville, Texas. Don't forget to fill it out like this: I have a new address!

Our Birthday Club met the second Wednesday in May to celebrate the birthdays of Helen Valcik and Josephine Burl. Each of the celebrants received many beautiful gifts and we had flowers galore.

The ladies in the kitchen prepared a delicious meal of baked chicken, rice and giblet gravy. We had our pictures taken and Mrs. Hilsher, our president, spoke about what the Birthday Club would do during the convention and what our duties would be.

Harriette Earl —) • A HunF,v erford, Texas Dear Members: In our last meeting which was on May 11th, the members elected a new delegate to represent our lodge at the convention in Houston in July. This election was necessary due to the fact that Adolph Sabrsula who had been elected formerly is ill and will not be able to attend. Dstoja Muniza was elected as delegate.

Also there was a motion made that we hold our meetings at 10:30 a. m. instead of 2:00 p. m, Everyone was in favor of this motion. So remember members, our meetings will be at 10:30 a. m. instead cf afternoon.

Here's hoping that Adolph Sabrsula will be well soon as we miss him at the meetings, Elsie Konvicka. ) • A _ cuTAK LODGE NO. 165 Moulton, Texas Dear Readers: A goodly number of members and ten guests were present at the regular monthly meeting of Culak Lodge on Mother's Day pay.

All numbers on the program presented, dealt with the all-important subject.

"Mother", and the little tots as well as larger children, are to be commended for doing their parts so ably. The program committee also prepared nice awards for the oldest, the fattest and the leanest member mothers, respectively.

A lovely homebaked, snowy lamb, the first award, went to my mother, Mrs. Vera Svoboda, as the oldest mother; a nice tablecloth, the next prize, went to Mrs. Frances Surman, as the fattest mother, and the third, a pretty plastic butter dish, went to Emma Rosenaur, as the leanest mother present. Mrs. Svoboda returned the lamb to be sold to the highest bidder. It brought $6.00 to be added to the lodge treasury.

Bingo was played by many for useful prizes, most ardently, however, by two little boy members for real live little shepherd puppies. (They each succeeded in winning one, I'm happy to say.)

The chicken barbecue was very tasty, accompanied by luscious beans, peaches, pickles, bread and kolaches. All members who worked to prepare and to serve this splendid supper, are deserving of thanks for their untiring efforts.

VESTNIK-

LINDBERGH AT FIFTY Twenty-five years ago this preceding May 20 an unknown aviator, a young chap of 25 named Charles A. Lindbergh, I made the first nonstop flight from New York to Paris. What followed afterwards in the life of this man somehow has paralleled the course of events in the current history of the. United States.

From the height of limelight to the depth of despair and suspicion, from one extreme.. to another has been a chain of events both in Lidbergh's life and in the history of his country.

The frenzy of enthusiasm which greeted his feat was undoubtedly completely forgotten on that day as were the later events in his career. Some of that history has an interesting bearing on the present day situation of the United States, internationally and politically.

Colonel Lindbergh, shuning public scrutiny and the criticism which has left its scars on his life, lives quietly at Darien, Conn., in a handsome home on a point jutting into Long Island Sound, with his talented wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, and their five children, three sons and two daughters. The eldest; Jon Morrow Lindbergh, is now attending Stanford University.

Like some of their other topflight heroes, the United States first heaped honors on Lindy such as had never before been given to a man of his youth —he was 25 in 1927—then preceded to accord him treatment usually reserved for a man who has disgraced himself.

The kidnaping and death of his son aroused the country as had no crime in half a century, and led to federal legislation which has practically put an end to kidnaping for ransom, which had become common before Bruno Richard Hauptmann was convicted and executed.

Lindbergh's flying genius—most aviation people still regard him as the greatest flier in world history—and his scientific achievements, including the artificial heart experiments with Dr. Alexis Carrel, were largely forgotten when he jumped into the fight against American entry into the second World War. To refresh clouded memories, here is his statement in 1940, after the European phase of the war had begun: "Unless we stay out of this war, and use cur best efforts to bring about peace between England and Germany, the United States will be bankrupt, Europe will be prostrate and the Asiatic hordes (meaning Russia) will be in a position to move westward when they please."

That prophecy, from a young man 'ho' had no particular training in world

affairs or so-called "geopolitics" can now be recognized as proof of a gift for foresight. But at the time Charles Lindbergh was assailed as an appeaser and an isolationist. The same was true when he used his chance to inspect German air power and the attempt of Nazis to convert him into a propagandist on their side, to find out what their plane production was and compare it to our own.

His reports to congress and the armed services gave impetus to our own aircraft prOduction.

Now our leading air experts are telling a congressional committee the same thing about Soviet Russia—that we have quite some distance to go to match the Communist production of planes and that their reserve of atomic weapons may be equal to ours.

At least another quarter century must elapse before history determines whether Colonel Lindbergh's stand was correct but the treatment accorded him as a result has come to be regarded as nothing less than shameful.

In World War II, after the air corps had refused to order Lindbergh to active duty, he was sent to the Southwest Pacific theatre as a civilian under an arrangement with an aircraft company, flew 50 missions each with the army, and navy air forces, and was the flying idol of all the groups with which he served.

With all his prestige as a flier, he was up against a group of younger men to whom he was a graybeard, but it is of record that they soon recognized his genius and his unpresumptuous way of suggesting improvements in flying technique. But he received no recognition for that service from the United States government. He made many flights over Jap lines. Had he been forced down on any one of them, he could have been shot as a civilian participating in military operations, whereas army and navy fliers were treated as prisoners of war.

During one of the lessons, while she was seated, at the wheel in the midst of some particularly heavy traffic, the youthful instructor assigned to her leaned over . and whispered: "Did I hear you call me `darling'?"

"Sir!" the young lady shouted, taking her eyes off the road, only to be quickly, ordered by the unsmiling instructor to pay attention to what she was doing.

"I did that to teach an important lesson," he said sternly. "When you're driving, no matter what anyone says to you, keep your eyes on the road." ) • •t NECESSARY DATE Boy friend: "You're dancing with me tonight and I suppose tomorrow you'll be having a date with some other fellow."

MENTAL HEALTH Seven years ago, in 1945, I believed that a bit more cf systematic learning might take me out of a rigid, fossilized pattern of thinking. Adult education would be the answer, I thought. Sheepishly and self-consciously, I went to register at the University of Houston. I was lucky to find a sympathetic adviser.

"Some course to use your leisure time constructively, you say?" he repeated my words. "How about a course in mental health?"

I accepted his suggestion. It really. didn't matter. When one is fifty-three and thirty years out of college, anything is good to make mind more flexible. I signed for a course in mental health and two more courses in psychology.

One of the required books to read in the mental health course was with a title "A Mind That Found Itself," writ"ten by Clifford Beers. There were other] books'assigned for reading, but I tackled , that one first, because it was at the top of the list handed to the students taking the course in mental health.

Nearly half a century has passed since Clifford Been§ wrote A Mind That Fotind Itself, hi-; autobiographical account of conditions in the mental hospitals of his day. In the years since then much has been done to improve the state of affairs about which Beers wrote. Yet, for all the very real progress, the problem of mental illness remains one of the 'outstanding problems of ours age. This is so whether one regards it from the standpoint of the suffering of the individuals concerned, of the effect of mental illness upon our whole society, or of

1

the dollar cost of caring for the institutionalized mentally ill.

The facts are appaling. Unless something is done to prevent it, one out of every 12 children bOrn in the United States this year will at some time in the course of life suffer a severe mental illness—an illness severe enough to justify hospitalization. Nearly half of the persons in hospitals in the United State; today are mental patients. Even among those in hospitals who are not .desig7nated as mental patients there is a .startlingly high percentage—the estimates range from 25 to 50 percent—whole illnesses have important psychiatric complications. Dtring World War II more than a million registrants were rejected

by Selective Service because of mental and emotional disorders, and nearly half a million more were discharged for the same reasons after having been accepted.

But the institutionalized mentally ill and those who were rejected by Selective Service are only a fraction of those with some sort of mental or emotional disturbance. Reasonable estimates of the total run as high as 9,000,000. This number includes the problem drinkers, of whom there are estimated to be nearly 4,000,000, 750.000 of these being chronic alcoholics. It includes a good share of the 50,000 persons who are addicted to narcotics, and of the 275,000 children under 17 who are brought into juvenile courts each year. It includes the 17,000 Americans who, in an average year, commit suicide. And finally it accounts for a substantial part of the divorces

—1 for every 4 marriages—of absenteeism and accident proneness in industry, and of crime.

Plainly, this is a problem of fearful dimensions. To the question of what is being done about it, the answer must be: Much—but not anywhere enough.

Lack of public understanding is the most serious of all our deficiencies in the treatment of mental illness, For while much progresS has been made in educating the American people to the nature and scope of the mental disease problem, by and large we still tend' to regard psychiatric illnesses as something to be ashamed of; and largely because of this fact most of us still have onoinkling of how grave the menace is.

The problem here, clearly, is to bring the whole subject out from the cbbwebs and from under the beds where it has reposed for so many centuries into the light 'of day where it can be looked at and discussed openly and fearlessly.

This is precisely what has been done with respect to tuberculosis and cancer.

That these diseases can now be freely discussed,' without any of the foolish feeling of shame or dishonor which formerly were associated with them, is due in very large part to the campaigns which have been conducted by informed and aroused individuals over the last 50 years; while the advances made in controlling these diseases are in turn due, in very large part, to this achievement in public education. Until the same can be achieved in the mental health field, no significant progress will be made.
