Piijemneho p •ekvapeni dostale. se redaktsru, k nemu pfistcupila feSna sleena a predstavila se mi jmenem a dodala: "Ja jsem Slovenka." Vedle ni stojici pan opravil ji slovy, ktere uva,dim doslovne: "You are not Slovenka, you are Slovaeka. I am Slovinec, my wife is Slovenka, but you are Slovaeka." FeSne device s e jmenovalo Miss Bess Kubanis, ceti mohlo by bYti soiSe recke jmeno znamenajici "zvon". Delegat, kterY nos vyruSil, byl tajemni% od American Fraternal Union, rovneZ slovansky spolek, a jmenoval se Anton Zbasnik. Martin Podskoe, tajemnik jineho slovanskeho spolku, Svakr zesnuleho bratra Domora.da, nemchl bYti pii tomen zasedani bratrskeho kongresu. Litoval jsern, tie nemel jsem pfiletiitost seznamiti se s tajemnikem Podskoeem, ponevadti je teti pilnYrn etenatem naSeho Vestniku.

JeSte nikdy nemel jsem pkileiitost vyslechnouti takovou prednaSku nebo fee, pri jejimti ukonteni by obecenstvo vstanulo pod vlivem silnYch dojmfi, tie vyslechlo nee° kromobYeejneho. S bratrem Markem zatiil jsem podobnY pripad. Bylo to pri banketu potadanem pro delegaty Na.rodniho bratrskeho kimgresu.

Napted mluvil Paul Dever, guverner sta.to Massachusetts. Mnozi naSi elenove videli ho na televisi ph zahajeni demokraticke konvence. Po glivernerovi byl na prograrnu jinY feenik, ktery ale ncmohl se dostaviti. V nahradu za neptitorimeho reenika byl pfedstaven eloyek, o nemti ceremonial: rekl, tie se narodil v Uhraeh a tie studoval v Bostonu. fteenik se sam predstavil, e jeho jmeno je Imre Kovae a tie se narodil na bfezich Dunaje. JehO terra tie je "No•vy svobodneho tiivota." Miuvil asi tficet minut, nekdy humorne, jindy s dfirazem vatine. Vykladal, jak se sam dostal do Ameriky a jak mel potitie s imigraenimi fifady. Uti samotne jmeno einilo mu pctitie. Kdyby byl zamenil "Imre" za Jima a "Kovacs" za Smith, bylo by to sna,dnejSi. Lee on tie chtel bYti tim je. Nekdy tie se nam zda, kdybychom scbe predelali, abychom se pfiliS neliSili od druhYch, tie bychom snadneji splynuli s okolim nebo se skupinou, v nit se nachazime.

Odboeil a zaeal vykladati .iertem o sve rodine. Pak vratil se ku sve male dceruSce, jejiti jmeno bylo KrioJc !7tere doma stina Elizo,l)ct

VESTNiK— WEST, TEXAS "Baba". To slovo pry v mad'arStine znamena male devedtko, ale v ruStine start' klobouk. Kdyti jeho otec volal nikdy na jeho matku "Baba" pry nevedelo se, zda poutiival mad'arStiny nebo slovanskou fee. Maid . "Baba" Sla prvni den do Skoly.

PriSla domil a oznamovala, 2.e ona se nejmenuje "Baba", ale Elizabeth. Asi tie naSla drutiky, ktere se ji z jejiho domaciho jmena vysmivaly. Musela byti jako ty druhe. Po etrnacti dnech sla y . jmenuje-nostezamil,tes'znvu "Baba". Poznala s yYm malYm rozoumkem, tie katiclY musi bYti samostatnYm, trochu jinYm neti druzi, svobodnym individuem. Nilcdy pry takova, pfemena snaha po splynuti se ukazuje ye dvou generacich. Jako pry jeden -Cechoslovak v Buffalo, kterY si soudne zmenil sve jmeno na Palmer. Jeho syn, kterY se narodil zde, chodil do americkYch Skol, slouzil v americke armade, byl ranenk, prolil svou krev za Amerikut kdyti se vratil domfi, citil, tie nemusi se stydeti za, pnvod svirj a hrde zmenil sve jmeno na to, jake nosil jeho dedeeek a jeho ctec, neti jej posedia touha bVti jako jini, zmenil to na Pomoransky. "Ja tez, mohl bych", pravil feenik, "zmeniti 'sve jmeno na Jim Smith, ale chci ye svobodne zemi zitstati svobodnYm idividuem, chci bYti Imre Kovae, rodem Mad'ar, sluSenstvim Jihoslovan, ale z vlastni yule Amerieanem." V tomto toms pokraeoval Kova.e asi tficet minut, a katidou minutu byl preruSovan bonflivYm potleskem.

Kdyti koneene skoneil citovanim nezname sloky z narodni americke hyrnny, sloky, kterou katide americke deck° by mele, znati, ale musel .ji prinesti pfivandrovalY Evropan, celY sal posluchaen, snad pet set, motind .osni set licli, vstalo jako jeden a boutliVYm potleskem clekovall za fee pfistehovalce v kulturnim stredu SpojenYch statu, v Bostonu, koleloce americke svobody. Dobra petina lidi tlaello se k feeniku, aby mu stiskli ruku a podekovali. Byl jsem teti jednim z nich. Bratr Marek se rovneti tlaeil, ale v maekanici jsme byli oddeleni. Konee.-1 ne dostal jsem se ku Kovaeovi. Pfede, mnou podal mu ruku mladsi elovek, cle-i koval nilu. a pravi: "My name is Jaro-! slay Draho yzal". "How . nice, Jaroslav, that's a nice Czech name. And the family name "Drahovzal"? How would you translate it, into English?" — Poznal jsem, tie bratr Drahovzal, Glen ZOBJ,i pfijel s bratrem Rompotlem z Cedar Rapids. Diouho jsme s bratrem Markend rokovali, tie takovY feanik, jakYm je Kovae, mel by pfijeti take do Texasu, aby nam a jinYm vylotiil, tie Amerika neni slotiena jen z AjrySfi a Anglieanft, jak Kovae fekl v Bostonu, ale ze zdvorilYch Francouzfn eistotnYch Holand'a.nil, umiilenYch Dann, systernatickYch Nerncit, vytrvalYch Litevcu, cloehvilnYch

Byla to fee, na jakou se tak lehee nezapornina., a -pronesl ji elovek, ktery se nestydel Z/3. svnj pnvod, sve cizi jmeno, rekl to mezi americkcir vybranou spoleenosti jen s omluvou: "Jsem ye svobodne zemi, kde mohu fici sve mineni a kde jste pfisli vyslechnout prove proto, to nejsem Jako. vy, ze me jmeno neni Jim Smith, ale Imre Kovae, tic •jsein se narodil na brezich Dunaje, tie jsem pine' ocilinud, a tie motind budu trochu jire:/ ne vy ostatni.

Bylo ov gem mnoho veci hodne stejmich, ale i v samotnS7ch easopisech, vydavanSlch pro informace elentl, byl znateln3) rozdil. Byly to publikace upravene dle toho, kolik vedomosti redaktor mei a kolik Usili sve redakCni praci venoval.

Seal jsem celeho pul dne a poslouchal asi dvacet pet redaktora, kteri vymeriovali mezi sebou sve nahledy. Teprve z jejich diskuse poznal jsem, jak inizernm Akrabakem jsem sam, jak mnoho muslin dohaneti, abych na g vlastni list pfivedl na vY gi, ktera by odpovidala na gim: potrebam. Kdyt na mne byl ueinen dotaz, zdali nage SPJST by mohla miti svou vystavu agitaenich pomticek, nechtel jsem 7ahanbene rici, ae na podobne veci jsme trochu slabymi.

K tomuto poznani syYch viastnich nedostatku neptikl bych nikdy, kdybych byl prilepen jen k tidli u sveho stolku.

Podobne pfedseda Marek se vyjadril, r .e jeho schilze byla velmi pouena. Jak jit > v3ige bylo poznamenano, jednani kongresu je rozdeleno na mnoho skupin. Zatim co jsem byl mezi redaktory, bratr Marek byl mezi pfedsedy. RovneZ" bratr Rompotl, predseda Zapadni Oesko-Bratrske JednotY, byl ve schuzi pfedsedn. Bratr Muzik, pfedseda OSA, nebyl pro nejakou pHCinu pritomen sezeni pi'edsedn. Je tedy pro kaalou idednickou praci utvorena skupina, ktera projednava otazky a problemy, tykajici se one skupiny. Kdyby bratr Chupick byl pritomen kongresu, deha jsme oba litovali, byl by on mezi tajemniky a probiral by s nimi prilehave otazky spadajici pod dohled tajemnikil.

Stat Texas vysla.1 do Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu devet nebo deset delega.Vg e nasvedenje, ae tak velike zastoupeni z jednoho statu vzbudilo obdiv a jakousi mimotadnou vaanost mezi zdejgimi

fraternalisty. Zaslechli jsme closti poznamek zde a onde, ae statu Texa.su by to me,lo byti oplaceno tim, aby pki2Sti zaseclan' Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu se konalo bud' v Dallas nebo v San Antonio, Uvaaime-li, ae by to znamenalo pkijezd fraternalistal as z Kana,dy a z dalneho severozapadu, lichoti to delegatum; kteki museli letos vykonati cestu z Texasu do Bostonu.

Zase neco z nakho domova Dallas. — Xdysi jsem take talc psavavala z Houstonu. Nyni main domovy dva a veru bylo by rime za tako volit, kteremu mestu bych dada prednost, pill srdce tarn v Houstonu a pill zde v Dallas, a jeSle bych potrebovala treti pulku pro to male mesteeko Crosby, kde ma.rn dceraku, zete a svoje tri vnoudatka, ktere rady babiCku s decleekem uvidi, kdyz tam prijedeme a nerady nas domfi zpatky poOteji. ZvlaSte ten Maly diblik Karlielca, a to ze dvou pridin, ze tam ma u sebe dedou gka a babieku a za druhe, ze babicka za ni umyje nadobi. Pamatuji si, kdy se narodila, byli chlapci stragne zklamani, kdy jsem Inn oznamila, ze maji sestrieku. Oba dva vyhrnuli nosanky nahoru a Ferdik, ten 3tarM rekl: "O, 6 sestru, my chceme bratra, abychom byli tri muSketY •i." Jody, ten mlacl gi se k nemu otoeil, z nal mu vylehla elektrika a povida: "Nedbej, Fredy, sestricka bude aspon dobra pro myti nadobi, jinak by jsme ho museli myti stale my." Take ji to neminulo, jak byla dos4 vysoka, aby dosahla do umyvadla, IA Jody ji to prenechal. Oast°, velice casto si na to vzpomenu. Ted' maji prace v gichni dost, ale svedei jim to KdyZ' tam jsem mezi nimi, tak valycky okreji. Tentokra,te jsem tam mela celY eas maminku, tak isern se pote gila dvojnasob.

Z Cleveland se stoeime na Cis. 321 aZ do Dayton, stale jedeme lesy, pak po Cis. 90 zpet do Crosby; druhY den si pak zajedeme do Houstonu neb Galvestonu. Nekdy jedeme jinYm sinerem, stoeime se z Corsicany po Cis. 289 pres Palestine do Crockett, pak do Lufkin neb Livingston a po Cis. 59 zase na Cleveland.

Mill etenali Vestniku: Jak se yam libilo ye Vestniku ze dne 17. sari to vysvedeeni, ktereho se nam dostalo od nejakeho Texana v New YorskYch Listech. Cituje slova z bible, aby mohl sam zloreeit. Tim mysli, ze je lepsim Clovekem neMi my u nakho spolku.

Zapomnel si najit v bibli ona ponaueeni, ktera Kristus dal co pravidla celernu svetu, ze neni dam pra y° eloveku odsuzovat sveho bliZniho. To jsou pravidla, dle kterYch dnes se ma jit. To stare zloreeeni bylo za easfi Sodomy pied Kristem. pinit nas za nagimi zady tam, kde nasi praci spolkovou a narodni neznaji, je jidaAstvi. Takovi by i dnes prodali Krista za 30 stribrnYch.

Probereme si, jak lze tuto vec provesti.

Ptedstavme si, ze jsme ptikryli stranku knihy dlouhou stuhou. Nad rnistem, kde je prvni pismeno horniho radku, udeldme ve stuze etvercovY otvor, do ktereho se vejde pouze jedno pismeno.

Abychom mohli stranku takto rozdelit, neni tteba pouhvat dlouhe stuhy. Nipkow zjistil, Ze postaei udelat jen tolik okolik je tadkii na jedne strane; avg ak tyto otvory je nutno urnistit nakotoudi, a to ye tvaru spiraly. Vzdalenost mezi otvory mush bVt stejna.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR SINCERE GREETINGS to every reader of the Vestnik from Boston, Massachusetts, where president Marek and your editor is attending the National Fraternal Congress. Originally, secretary Chupick and director Skrabanek planned to go, too, but at the last moment both of them changed their plans on account of some other more urgent duties. Consequently, instead of four of us, only Brother Marek and the editor made the long trip.

IT WAS A LONG TRIP, which took a good portion of four long days of hard driving in the SPJST car. We left Friday morning from Houston. At nine that morning we crossed the Louisiana state line at Logansport. Then there were seven hours of driving through the northern part of Louisiana until we crossed the Missippi River at Greenville, Miss. The city of Memphis, Tenn., was our destination. But after vie ate a supper, we decided to push forward.

THERE IS NOTHING more pleasing than to find a clean, well-recommended, AAA approved, tourist court in the middle of the night -after eighteen hours of driving. We stopped in Tennessee, slept five hours, and without breakfast pushed along through the winding mountains. Not exactly mountains, but the sharp turns seemed to never end. A short stop for a toast and a miserable cup of coffee delayed us only a few minutes. Then on and on, through the morning, watching the tobacco patches, nothing else but tobacco curing barns, through the state of Kentucky all afternoon, until we crossed the stateline of Ohio.

BUT WE HAD SOME 250 mile to go.

This time our stopping point was set as Akron, Ohio. We hoped to average 55 miles an hour, but there was no use of trying. Up and down, up ' and down, sharp turns and narrow road, yet they called it the U. S. Highway. Some, of the ordinary farm roads in Texas are much better. Heavy trucks and moving vans kept on groaning up the hill, or speeding down the hill, and always a string of cars in the opposite direction. We reached Akron, Ohio, six hours behind

cur schedule. Add to it one hour for the Ea.stern time and another hour for the daylight saving time, and we could not believe our eyes that it was half past one. Sunday morning, when we slipped under two blankets.

• • AND THE SAME. DRIVE next day, Sunday. Already third day on the way and seven hundred miles further to go. No need of pushing the accelerator.

Town after town, one long row of towns, and every one of them said that the speed was strictly enforced, 25 or 30 miles an hour. A traveler just started to resume the normal speed when the sign said: reduce your speed—hill. One often wondered if the last word was not misspelled. * * IT WAS AGAIN PAST ONE, Monday morning, when we pulled up at a hotel.

No tourist courts to be found that night.

The wrist-watch showed five when we started Monday morning, but the local time was seven. What's the use. We can't make it to Boston by nine-thirty for the first session: Let's have breakfast, Wow! Seventy cents, plus sales tax. The good old Texas. And we are supposed to be in the Empire State. The prices did resemble the Empire building.

the hotel after some twisting and circling. Yes, we have the reservation. It was sent on September fifth. No, sir, no reservation, no rooms. The dickens, it was sent by our secretary. Let's see, what name it was sent in? No, nothing here. Let's try another name. Where is the manager or the assistant manager?

Well, I'll be!

•

DISGUSTINGLY, WE TRIED another hotel three blocks away. The car has already been put up, because it couldn't stand in the street jamming the traffic. Well, we will get taxi, go to the other hotel. Our baggage has already been placed in a lobby. Oh, what's the use.

It does- happen even in the best-regulated family once in ten years. We missed a day of session, we dint have a reservation and we couldn't find our registration as delegates to the National Fraternal Congress. Oh; yes, the tickets were sent in.

• • IT WAS A PITY that we missed .the first day. Everything which pertained to the discussion of the organizers' work, the field managing, was scheduled for Monday. We should have started one day earlier. There were so many excellent topics scheduled for that day, and we missed every one of them. Every session of the Fraternal Congress starts with the organizational work. And since we were interested in the courses for the organizers, and the fraternal courses at some universities, we really missed the boat. Just a case of misinformation that the Congress would begin Tuesday instead of Monday, and we had planned accordingly.

AND THROUGH some more queer towns with cobble -stone pavement after we crossed the Hudson River in the upper New York. We have already missed the morning session, and it looked as if we would miss also the afternoon session. We should have started a day earlier. So let's stop to have a bite to eat, something quick. Fried oysters. Good, but rather expensive for two bucks a small plate. But the coffee tasted good.

Wednesday, October 1, 1952.

TWO MAGIC WORDS My house was separated from a sheer drop into the sea by a narrow strip of earth, A sort of footpath had been beaten along the brink, but it was seldom used.

One afternoon I was sitting on the perch, feeling very sorry for myself. . .

There was nothing to do but watch the foolish, top-heavy pelicans throwing themselves into the sea. And then to wait for the delayed sound of the splash.

Presently a stranger appeared far along the footpath — an old man who walked very slowly, as if his feet hurt.

As he came into focus, I saw he was dressed in a pair of dungarees and a coat with a flutter of rags at the elbow.

There was a wedge-shaped rip in the crown cf his hat, which he removed politely when he caught sight of me.

"Hello," I said.

He Smiled, and, hobbling across what passed for a lawn, sat beside me on the Steps.

"YOu're not happy," he said. "Not at all happy, lady!"

He was very old and very dirty.

Bweat stood on the surface of his leather•brown skin. Strands of gray hair plastered his skull. He hand no teeth./ But his eyes were a brilliant blue, clear and steady.

Give me your hand, lady," he said.

He took my hand and ran his thumb over my •nails.

-JuSt as I thought."

He put his hat on again.

"Bmpty-hearted," he said.

-How do you know?"

-BY the ridge across your right thumbnail, lady. Oh, but by more than that.. .

Your arura has no light. No light at all: It's the color 'of ashes."

Is that bad?"

"You haven't learned how to live in peace with yourself, lady!"

No I said "I haven't."

And then, in a burst of self-pity, I confided in him. . . Love was gone, I told him. And success. And health. And the joyous illusions of youth. "I guess Tni licked," I said. "Finished. Washed up.' Through."

The old man listened, shaking his' head and working his toothless gums, When I was your age," he said, "I thought the same thing. It got so had with me, I wanted to die. You see, lady, there was no peace in my mind. And cat's a terrible thing. One night, I went out on the Brooklyn Bridge, to jump over."

I smiled.

"You think I didn't dare, lady? It wasn't that I was brave as a lion. But it

"Where did you find it?" I insisted.

"I'm coming to that. .

The old man paused and squinted into the sun. I thought, as I watched him, that in his youth he must have been a handsome man. I wondered where he come from, hew it was that he he had come to this pass: a tattered beggar peddling esoteric formulae.

"There was a village," he went en. "I was glad to be there. The people were fat and lazy. They lay in the sun and laughed. I thought they must be very wise and that this was the answer. . here, I'd be cured of the dark turmoil in my mind. The doubt. And the despair.

But those people weren't wise. They were only afraid. Afraid of a striped cat that prowled in the grasses and with one blow of her great star-shaped paw bore them down and shredded them for her pleasure. . .

"So I left that place, lady, and went to Sicily, to a city called Messina.

"And there I found what I was looking for. . . A way to live and be content. A rule ,so simple, I can put it into a single sentence. And once I've spoken, it, you will never again be unhappy, or afraid, or alone.

The old man paused again, cackling softly to himself, and I remarked with a certain impatience that the recipe would be worth every cent I had in the bank . . if it worked!

"It works, lady! It works! This was more than forty years ago, and ever since I've lived by it.. .

He jerked off his hat again.

"Look at me, lady! Would you call me happy man? A man at peace with himself?"

I looked, and felt a curious prickling of my scalp. I don't believe I've ever leeked directly into such eyes as these.

"Why, yes," I faltered. "I'd say you were a very happy man."

"Now I'll tell you why I am. . . You remember what happened, forty years ago, in Messina?"

"An earthquake."

"I was there, lady. I was a man of middle years, then. Strong. Not afraid of anything except my own thoughts.

"But I wasn't dead. I of up and climbed over the rubble. I had heard a singe scream, lady, as the walls parted and learned and colapsed. One single scream from two hundred thousand throats. New, it was still. . . a silence beyond hearing . .. the silence of death.

I went to help. To dig the living out of their tombs, to care for the wounded.

Oh, lady, what pitiful sights! A naked girl in her tied, high up on a swaying wall. Her long black hair . . the soles of her little white feet! Everywhere the stench of horror! People broken open, their eyes empty. Thousand and thousands of dead, thousands dying, and no doctors, no water, no food. . . Icy rain.

The old man got stiffly to his feet. He toothed the brim of the battered hat and started slowly and painfully away, following the narrow pat, a:ong the edge of the cliff. He had disappeared before I realized what he meant. Myself forgotten, .

BROTHER SKRABANEK COULDN'T make the arrangements to go, as previously reported. My statement about Brother Skrabanek was made the night before we left Houston, but he had to cancel his plans the following morning.

Our SPJST has only two delegates here.

There are seven or eight more delegates from Texas', and we are very pleased for the warm reception that we received here at every turn. There is a good prospect that we may get the next convention of the National Fraternal Congress to be held in the Lem Star State.

he i a as e Secret of Power (By Charles B. Roth) He's one of those men to whom everything in life apparently comes easily.

You know the type. Such men have money, prestige, power, friends. You wonder what strange secret they employ to make the entire world stand still and deliver to their bidding.

There are a good many people who hold this friend of mine in awe because he is so wealthy and 'important. But don't. He is my friend, and he and I can chat as casually as any pair of friends.

So the other day I discussed this secret of success with him, asking him to tell me frankly how it is that all his life the world has been so good to him.

He was amused that I called , it a secret, for he pointed out that a secret is something which is withheld from all except a few. Unlike a true secret, his idea, he said, is so common that anyone should be able to grasp and use it.

"All I do is show a benefit," he said.

This was a little too cryptic for me, so I asked him to explain.

"If you can show a man how he yy benefit by doing what you wish him. to do, whether it is to go to lunch or sign a ,contract for a $1,000,000 building," he went on, "it isn't hard to convice him. All of us, in whatever we do, seek benefits for ourselves. To convince a man and make him like and believe in you, show him a benefit.

"Take the matter of winning friends.

What have you to offer a friend, except the desire to be one? Will he find himself 'uncomfortable in your presence, because your attitude is wrong, or will you make him feel secure and comfortable?

"When you have something to sell,, what benefit will your customer receive?

He is looking for one. Show him you can give him what he wants and he will buy.

"All my life I have thought in terms of benefits to the other person; It seems to me to be common sense to do this. It is, in fact, the only sensible thing to do."

PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE Many p eople like to make remarks or to speculate about the future. Fortunetellers make a business of it: Experts in all fields do a little fortunetelling — but they save science to back them up.

Here are some p redictions the experts would put money on— and some they wisely discount. You'll have your own evidence for or against some of these predictions. The others—well, you'll just have to wait and see.

Your descendants will be smarter than you. , False. People may be growing taller sod living longer but they're not getting any smarter. Forecasts for the future point to a distinct shortage of brain power and a lower average IQ. Dishes will be disposable.

True. One of these days you may be using cheap but attractive dishes of soluble plastic that can be dissolved in the sink by superheated water, or turned in for rebate and reprocessing. Predictions are these will be so inexpensive (made fro oil soybeans, fruit pits, straw and wood pulp) that housewives will simply dispose of them in one way or another o ter meals.

Houses will be lighted by paint or wallpaper.

True. At least that's a definite possibility 'advanced by Westinghouse experts.

Thy speculate electric lights may be replaced by highly efficient phospor powder mixed into building material, paint or wallpaper. These would absorb light energy during the day and emitp it at night. This would make life easy for refrigerators raiders, but tough on insomniacs.

Old people will look younger.

True. Beauty and scientific experts say new discoveries in diet, dermatology and health preservation will keep both men and women of the future remarkably well preserved even into 'old age.

They claim it's highly probable that in another 50 years the signs' of aging will be so reduced that 70- and 80-year-olds will lobk about like today's 45•ers.

People are growing larger.

True. Even toc ay's small children will be generally taller than their parents.

In the last century people have grown in height; stature and weight. Men are two inches and women more than one and one-fifth inches taller. Better nutrition and medical care are responsible. Industries foresee future theater seats, cars and even standard beds designed for longer legs. But we won't turn into a race of giants. This growth spurts will level off before that.

Food capsules will replace meals.

False. People have been speculating about this for years but, happily, enough, a good many experts don't believe we'll ever come to it, We need more than two ounces of protein and about two thousand calories a day — too much to condense into one small pill. Then there's the question of necessary roughage. And last but not least, most of -us enjoy meals too much to take them in one gulp. And would you give pills to dinner guests?

A home freezer will come with your new house.

True. Speculations are that in another five . years pre-installed refrigerators, freezers. washing machines and dishwashers will be standard equipment in new houses in addition to the stove you get these days if you're lucky. The big advantage is that your kitchen will be designed as a unit and built neatly around these appliances for added convenience of use.

You'll weigh more next September.

True. Physiologists have found that's true of most people. Along . about September you'll probably think some of your clothes have shrunk. (And you're slimmer in the month of February.)

You'll soon see people over the phone.

False. Contrary to what you've read, don't expect this for a long time. The expense will be prohibitive for years. The Army Signal Corps recently showed how you could pick up a phone and see the person you're talking to, much as on a TV screen. But this gadget is only for urgent army use in case of war. Installed in your home it would cost between $5,000 and $10,000 — a high price for a telephonic glimpse of neighbors or butcher!

Your car will have a phone.

True. That's the pretty sure guess of radio and telephone experts. A lot of executives and commercial companies already have these sets but they haven't reached popular prices.

The helicopter will soon become a family plane.

False. Helicopters currently cost around $25,000 and it will be a long day before they drop to popular prices. As for general family use: by 1960 the helicopter will be about where the automobile was in 1900, some experts claim.

We'll cross the continent in an hour True. Or at least it will be possible, claims Dr. Irving Langmuir, General Electric's famous physiscist-chemist. He envisions travel by vacuum tunnel or tube, in an airtight vehicle, magnetically suspended and electronically con. trolled. The vehicle could go about

5,000 miles per hour and you could zip from New York to the west -coast during lunchtime. Such a method would have advantages, over air travel: it would do away with weather hazards, while friction and air resistance which slow up travel today — would be just about nil. But there's disadvantage to this method of travel — we won't be able to relax and enjoy the scenery. )•4•(

LETTERS SAN ANTONIO LODGE NO. 133 Brothers and Sisters: - - When one least expects something nice, it happens. It happened at our last meeting when extra chairs had to be brought in to seat all present. A nice turn cut like that is something like the musicians feel when ball room is filled. They feel more like playing. And the officers feel mere like working. The nearness of fall may have been the reason or that most of them did not know that the chairman's birthday came during this month.

The social was fine wi';h the table covered with all those goodies, like a lemon pie, cookies, poppy lailaches, fruit kolaches, sandwiches and coffee. Un-! urn! Nuff sed.

In the course of the lodge business bro.

Kleprlik brought up the subject of sick benefit Insurance and explained the dif ferent classes the members alone can' benefit by. It is hoped that those not having this' insurance at present will get in touch with him soon.

From the former meeting the case of the unfinished business came up regarding whether or not we should have a keg of beer at the next meeting. It is said that silence is golden and by that token the brew was voted to tap, for you see, it is also golden. But according to 'Cr u bylaws silence means nil. After go-' ing home, that evening I stretched out on my lawn chair thinking of the harmonious meeting and the sociability of the, members and I felt contented.

Again the chairman saw before him the fine turn-out, the business of the meeting and the business •cf the suds.

I heard him say, "sisters and brothers it is up to the membership of the lodge to, decide whether or not you wish to have this golden refreshment at our next meeting. Has any one any cornMent,, or motion?" One could hear a pin dropsand a cough dropped. Silence!

The he continued; "sisters and broth ers do you agree that the votes on both sides are the same and even?

"Yes.!" chorused the audience. „, "Then I take it that you know the decidingvote in a tie is cast by the chairman?" Again the answer was "yes!"

"Veil . then I decide it by having a keg Of .beer following our next meeting.

There!" resounded from the "136o-0o-coo!' audience.

I jumped out 'of my chair as if I was shot, only to recognize Patsy who had slipped up behind me and hollered "boo."

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Here it is almost the end of September.

Autumn has finally arrived and with it blessed relief from that almost unbearable Summer heat. Although the moisture is still lacking, we can at least be thankful for the cooler weather.

September, to many of us is one of the busiest months of the year. Time for children to start back to their respective schools and colleges. For P-TA officers and committees to outline their years program and activities. The same is true of many ether clubs and organiza.ticns. HOwever, September is also Fair time in Temple. Even though the doors have been closed on this year's Fair, the memory still lingers on.

To me one of the most outstanding events of the Cen-Tex Fair is the parade on opening day. Especially grand in performance is the jeep—Mounted First Armored division band of Ft. Hood. This year the parading column included two Military bands, eight high school bands,

Has there even occured in the lives of you readers a void that seemingly cannot be filled Such an occasion has been experienced in the household of ycurs truly, recently. And is being repeated in thousands of hoMes through out the Nation. For the first time in almost 18 years, our first born, daughter, Carolyn, ceased to be under our constant care and supervision. On Sept.. 14 we took her to Huntsville, where she enrolled in Sam Houston State Teachers College as a freshmen, Home Economics major.

It is indeed with a feeling of mixed emotions we parents leave our youngsters on 'their own, for the first time.

And yet we are truly thankful and proud to have them continue on with their education.

President Stanley Kacir presided at cur regular monthly meeting, which' was held on Sept. 15. A letter of notification of the death of one of our old members Mrs. Louise Mueller was read. She passed away at her home in Luling on Sept. 4th. From what I was able to gather at the meeting, Mrs. Mueller served as sort of a foster mother to some of our lodge members many, many years ago. May God rest her soul in peace and may the members of her family accept our sincere sympathy.

Five new members were accepted into our lodge, all into the adult department.

They are: Henry F. Blum, Clyde Adams, Eastes Pearl Spurlin, John J. Dukatnik and Jarrard Secrest. Bro. Secrest has recently been elected State Senator, to represent the new Central Texas district We are proud indeed to have him as a new member. And incidentally Reuben D. Talasek, who was elected as:Representative, Place 2 Bell County, in the primary electicn in July is also a member of our lodge. To bro. Kacir we wish better luck if he choose's to run for County Attorney again. After the meeting was adjourned a period of recreation followed. The lodge sisters served sandwiches and cold drinks to approximately 25 members. Once again we say, "many thanks" to those of you who helped furnish the refreshments.

THE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD So repeatedly stated Moses more than 3,400 years ago. Without benefit of any of the advantages of modren science he uttered a profound truth that has never been and never will be disproved. On the contrary, the more modern science learns about the marvelous mechanism of our bodies, the more it appreciates that those words of Moses are indeed true. Yes, press reports even tell us of scientists who are making a study of the blood with the hope of finding the secret of life.

Blood is found everywhere in the human body; in the heart, in the arteries and veins, in the thousands of miles of tiny capillaries. It forms the lymph which bathes all the cells of the body.

Without it no tissue could exist. It supplies all the various organs of the body with the chemicals they need to do their work, and these in turn hand over to it the results of their activity, their secretions as well as their waste products. So by means of the blood one works for all and all work for one. It is the great unifier of the human organism.

The widespread use of blood products and the practice of blood transfusion have focused attention on this vital fluid, our stream of life. It is therefore most timely to give some thought to the blood, what its functions are, of what it is composed, and how it does its work.

The prime purpose of blood is to serve the cause of metabolism. Metabolism literally means change, the change that occurs in all living substances, consisting of the constructive changes of nutrition and repair known as anabolism, and the destructive .or waste-producing changes known as katobolism.

To carry out its nutritional function the blood obtains rich foodstuffs from 3 distinct sources: (1) From the lungs it obtains oxygen. This is a most important function, as cells are unable to store up oxygen and therefore without a continous supply life could exist but for a few minutes. (2) From the digestive system the blood obtains proteins, the sugars (glucose), the fats, the salts, etc., that the cells need for the production of energy and for their repair and replacement. (3) From the various ductless glands the blood obtains certain valuable elements which aid the body in its various functions; such as the insulin of the pancreas, which aids in the' digestion of the carbohydrates (sugars and starches); the adrenalin of the adrenal glands;' and the hormones of the sex glands.

The other part of metabolism in which the blood is active is hardly less important. The cells of the body produce poi-

sons so fast â&#x20AC;˘that unless these are continually carried away the cells would soon poison themselves. In fact, experiments have shown that a piece of tissue severed from the body requires a solution of 2,000 times its own bulk to avoid this self-poisoning. This waste consists of carbon dioide, which is carried to the lungs and there disposed of, and the end products of protein metabolism, such as urea and uric acid, which are eliminated by the liver, kidneys and the skin.

A third function of the blood is to keep the body at a uniform temperature.

When this rises the blood rushes to the surface, thus cooling itself as well as getting rid of moisture. When the temperature drops the blood rushes to the vital organs, thus conserving the 'heat and helping them to do the extra work required to keep the body at its normal temperature.

A fourth function of the blood is to supply the body with the secretions of the glands that act as regulator, such as the tyro in of the thyroid gland. This secretion acts as a regulator of the oxidation process of the cells, thereby controlling the heat-producing machinery of the body. For this reason it is said that the thyroid gland controls the basal metabolism.

A fifth function of the blood is to protect the body from the enemies that would and also invade it and to act as repair medium in the case of injury. This it does by means of the white corpuscles and other elements, such as the protein gloubules known as antidotes, on which is based the use of penicillin, and which figure in immunity to disease.

And sixth, the blood works continuously to keep itself on the alkali side of reaction. Though carrying away all the acid waste of the myriads upon myriads of cells it feeds,- it never permits itself to lose its slightly alkaline balance; to do so would mean death to the body. It keeps this chemical blance or reaction by means of certain elements in the blood which act as neutralizers, or, better stated, as buffers, which prevent , the acids from accumulating in the blood and thereby causing it to become more acid than alkaline. Among such elements in the blood that serve this purpose are the phosphates, carbonic acid, etc.

The blood has its cells, the red and white corpuscles, and platelets, which are imbedded in a liquid stroma or mesh or framework, the plasma. It is a liquid or moving tissue in contrast to the rest of the tissues of the body, which are more or less stable.

How much blood does an individual

have? According to the more recent estimates, our blood accounts for about nine percent of our weight. It is 55-percent liquid and has a specific gravity of 1.05 or 1.06, meaning that it is about 1/20 heavier than water, and five to six times as thick. Blood is composed of four main parts: the red corpuscles or erythrocytes (which simply means red cells), and which account for its red color; the white cells or leucocytes (literary, white cells); the platelets, tiny platelike objects of irregular shape; and the blood plasma.

How many red corpuscles do we have and how large are they? In a man's blood we find about five million and in a woman's blood about four and a half million per cubic millimeter (1/25 of an inch).

The total varies from 25 to 40 trillion (one trillion being a thousand billion).

They are like tiny discs, round and flat, with a depression in the center. 'They average about one three-thousandths of an inch in diameter and are about Onefourth as thick. They consist of liquid sacs that act as a mesh or stroma for the hemoglobin. The hemoglobin content of these is very definite and uniform in time of health.

The red corpuscles are formed in the red marrow of the bones. They have .a nucleus as they grow, but as they enter the blood stream they leave it behind. So, once having entered the blood stream they no longer grow. Their life-span is from 30 to 60 days. And then what?' When: old and worn out they land in the Olen, That ductless gland salvages the' iron and sends it on to the liver. The liver 'in turn supplies it to the red marrow 'as that red cell factory needs it.

The production and destruction of these cells in normal healthy conditions keep pace with each other so that the blood is not only well supplied with oX3)gen carriers but there is always a goodly reserve available in case of emergency.

The turnover of red corpuscles haS'been estimated at one trillion a day; 'which means that every second, yes, every 'Second of our lives from 11 to 12 Million leave the marrow of our bones and enter the blood stream, and also that that many are taken out of circulation every second. And we are assured that Our blood manufacturing facilities are not at all taxed by this prodigious production but that it can be stepped up at any time conditions require, such as loss of blood due to hemorrhage, accident, or the ranif ied air of higher elevations.

The main job of these red cells is tO supply the cells of the body with the oxygen they need, and the hemoglobin or iron and protein in them acts as the car-

Stran g

2,6

rier for the oxygen. Concerning this process, A. Carrell, in his book Man the Unknown, says: "The method of Oxygen tramnortation through the human body is one of life's fundamental mysteries..

Iron containing red blood pigment, named heme, functioning through a protein complex, hemoglobin, alone knows the secret of how to transport oxygen in a reversible process, in which it first picks it up and then releases it all alongthe assembly line of living bodies as it eiruclates through the body. It is in this manner that the fires of life are kept' burning' In contrast to the red corpuscles, the white cells or leucocytes,are living organ isms. They number about one to every 6 or 7 hundred red corpuscles for a total around 40 billion. They originate in the En-II-row of the bones, lymph glands and een. They all have nucleuses and may well be likened to the amoebae, tiny onecelled parasites that are to be found in all Irr sh waters. Like these amoebae, the a lin e y ells are able to move about Under their o sei power and to ingest sub 51 au ces. neither of which the red cells can do. Most numerous of the five varieties usually found in the blood are the pelymorphonuclear (so named because of the varied forms of their nucleases), which constitute some 70 percent of the total. Next most numerous are the lymphocytes, which resemble the lymph cells and account for about 20 percent*; the gient monocytes (one-celled) number only to 8 percent of the total; whereas the cosinophiles and the ba.sophiles at best total 2 percent of the leucocyte population of the blood.

These various leucocytes have been likened [o worms, fish and octopuses that act as scavengers in the river of blood, cud like beavers capable of building and repairing. They seem to know where they are needed, and they will elongate themselves and go right through the walls'of, the capillaries to get to the point of infection or injury. The accumulation of pus we see at a point of infection is just so many white cells that have died doing injury they their duty. At a place of mjiny transform themselves into tissue cells .:od become part of the permanent tissue. thereby aiding in the healing of the , wound. Thus we see that the leucocytes serve at once as defense and attacking unit. and as doconuammation and re,^lon battalions. m platelets are little bodies of irregi -,nape, without color or nucleuses, irat e ee 1 eund at the rate of about one 0 every eighteen red corpuscles.

Zivot rostliny (Dokoneeni se strany 18.) v listech rostlin? Proe maji tak mnoho zelenYch zrnieek? Valyt' v semeni tato trnieka nebyla. Kdy g vgak zrno zaealo klidit, objevil se jeho prYt nad zenii a zazelenal.

Na eem zavisi zelena barva chlorofylovYch zrn a jaka, je jejich filoha?

Zelena latk y, ktera, je v techto zrnech, nazYva se chlorofyl. Je to jedno z nejpopularnej gich zatizeni v ptirode. Chlorofyl pohlcuje sluneeni paprsky. Tyto paprsky jako by v nem' byly zadr geny. 1.1eastni se zvla gtniho procesu, probihajiciho v rostline. JakY je to proces? Ukazuje se, ze prave v listu se tvoti latky, jako je cukr, g krob a jine. K ziskani techto latek je tteba ptitomnosti kyslidniku uhliditeho a vody. Tyto dye latky, slueujice se, tvoti nejprve cukr. K jejich slougeni dojit jen ye chlorofylovem zrnu a jen tehdy, dopada-li na chlorofylove zrno paprsek svetla. Bez svetla se kyslienik uhlieitY s vodou v bunkach listu neslouei.

Tento proces se nazYva fotosynthesa.

Aby se v rostline utvokil jeden dil cukru, jest tteba 6 dila kyslieniku uhliditeho a 6 dilu vody. Ptitom krome cukru dostaneme je gte kyslik.

Z cukru se dale v rostline vytvoti gkrob, tuky a jine latky. Jejich slogeni tvoti tyteg prvky 7-- uhlik, vodik a kyslik, avgak v rfiznYch vzajemnych pornerech. Casto vidime, ze se tkrob uklada v kotenech, hlizach, plodech a semenech. Tento gkrob se utvotil z cukru, ktery sit'ovicemi se ptemistil z listi v druhe easti rostlin a zde se ptemeni1 ve gkrob. A °pane, kdyg semeno nebo hliza zaene rust, gkrob se znovu meni v cukr. Tento cukr se pkemist'uje k rostoucim eastern rostliny a slougi jako material k utvokeni novYch V klieicim zrnu ucitite nasladlou chut'. Cukrovou At'avu lze, take lehce objevit, odlomite-li na jute vetvidku moruae, pokud se na ni nevytvotily listy. Zadne z ni kapat prtizraena at'ava sladke chuti. Cukr se sluduje s jinymi latkami, nachazejicimi se v rostline, a vytvati slaite bilkoviny. Krome uhliku, vodiku a kysliku obsahuji jests dusik, siru a nekdy fosfor. V podstate se z techto sloLtYch bilkovin skladaji hlavni easti buriky — protoplasme a jadro. Semena hrachu, fazoli, eneky a jinych rostlin maji bilkoviny mnohem jednoduaai sestavy.

Je tudi2 jasno, jakou filohu maji listy rostlin. Jsou zylaatni laboratoti, kde se tvoti cukr, akrob a bilkoviny. Na praci iistu zavisi nahromadeni 2ivnYch latek v plodech, kotenech a hlizach. Tyto latky jsou take latkarni, pottebnYmi k dYchani.

Vidime tedy, ze v rostline probihaji dva

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS procesy: pohleovani kyslieniku uhlieiteho ze vzduchu a dYchani.

Pohlcovani kysliOniku uhliditeho rostlinami probiha behem dne daleko silneji nez dYchani. Proto v zelene rostline se podati nahromadit tolik cukernatYch a jinych latek, ze staei i na dYchani, ktere probiha dnem i noci, i na rust rostliny, i na ulogeni latek v hlizach, kotenech a plodech.

5. POTREBA VODY A MINERALNICH LATEK PRO ROSTLINY Voda se vypatuje z ka gdeho vlhkeho povrchu. Postdvme v pokoji misku s vodou. Behem 1-2 dnii se voda z misky vypati, t. j. unikne jako para do vzduchu.

Zelene listovi rostlin ma v sobs prfnerne 80% vody. Listovi ma v celku velkY povrch, pokrytY poko gkou, s malYmi otvory prfiduchy. Vet ginou jsou na spodku listii. Jimi odchazi voda z rostlin do okolniho vzduchu, t. j. vypatuje se.

Rostliny skuteene vypakuji velke mno g gteno, ze jedna rostli--stvi ody.Blozji na slunednice, nebo kukutice behem sv,eho givota vypati na 440 Tiber vody, t. j. pramerne pies 50 galonfi vody. U mnohYch rostlin se vyvinula ruzna zatizeni k tomu, aby bylo vypatovani zmen geno. U jednoho druhu rostlin se na listech vyvinul voskovY povlak, kterY chrani pied vypatova.nim. Proto se listy takovYch rostlin zdaji byti zamodralYmi. Takove listy vidime u zeli, gita. U jinych rostlin zmengeni vypatovani obstaravaji chloupky a tenka, vrstva olejnate latky na pokogce, nenropougtejici vodni pary.

Ztrata vody se kidi . otviranim a zaviranim prizduchu. Za teplYch dnu a noci bYvaji prfiduchy rostlin obyeejne uzavteny. Behem noci se rostlina zasobi mno g -stvimody,kerpbujatonno bYvaji prfiduchy znovu otevteny. Voda se ssaje z pudy vlaseenYmi kotinky, z nich pronika do bunek kokene a nakonec do cev, jimig jako vodovodnimi trubkami se pohybuje znaene rychle.

V listech se pohyb vody ponekud zmirni, nebot' voda musi postupovat z buriky do buriky prosakovanim buneenou blanou (osmoticke prolinani) Povrchove bufiky listii stale ztra,ceji oast vody vypatovanim a nassavaji vodu . z bunek, lehloubeji v listech. V nich take vznika ssaci sila vzhledem k bunkam leEcim jests Krome toho v kotenech rostlin nastava t. zv. vztlak kotentl. Jim nastava nejen ptoste vsakovani vody do kotehtl, nYbrZ voda je tlakem puzena do vYaky. Na jate bYva, vztlak kotentl tak znaenY, ze voda mii2e dostoupiti do znaene vY§e. Ulomte na jate tenkou vetvieku btizy, pokud netha, listy. Z vetvieky bude kapat at'ava. V to dobe strom jests nema listy a proto

Strana 27, nenastava. vypatovani. 8' t'ava mohla vystoupiti do takove vY ge jen vztlakem kotent. Aby rostlina nezvadla, musi nassat tolik vody, kolik se j i vypatilo. OkurkY, rajska jablieka a pile rostliny s velkYm povrchem listfi, ke konci horkeho dne 6byeejne sve guji sve listy, nebot' ztrata vody v nich je yetai ne2 pkijeni. Sta & . je zalit a rano jsou opet sve21.

Nedostanou-li rostliny pottebnou vodu yeas, hynou. Vypatovanim nastava ochlazeni povrchu listU. Kdyby nebylo vypatovani, rostliny by se na slunci spalily. Vime, ze rostliny i v horkem eervencovem dni maji chladnY povrch listu. Ve skieniku nasledkem nasycenl vzduchu vodnimi parami nenastane vypatovani, a pak dojde ke spaleni iistu. Voda vstupuje do protoplasmy, do jddra a do buneene S • t'avy. Kdyg jim vodu odejmeme, ztraceji svou vegetativni schopnosti.

Proto pti dlouhotrvajlcich suchach nastava hynuti rostlin. Vody je take tteba k vytvoteni cukru, akrobu, tuku a jinych latek. Potteba vody k tomuto neelu neni yaak velika. Z kaZdYch 1000 dila vody, cirkulujicich rostlinou, jen d ye easti se spottebuji k vytvoteni techto latek, ostatnich '998 east'. vody se vypati do vzduchu.

Avaak i tato voda neni bez uZitku pro rostlinu. S vodou zaroveti postupuji rostlinou mineralni soli. Z nich pottebuje rostlina slou'eeniny dusiku, drasliku, -vapniku, Zeleza, hoteiku, fosforu a siry.
