se TAN! CESIiiCti E TOMU prase patnact let, kdy mel jsem prvni a jedinY rozhovor se zesnulYm redaktarem Stanislavem 8erpanem v jeho kancelaki v Ornaze. Byl jsem na ceste domil z Chicago- Vezl jsem Mikulovu eeskou udebnici, abych ji v Texasu ptedloZil ku posouzeni a moZnemu schvaleni statni rade. Stavil jsem se v Omaze, abych od l'edaktora 8erpana nebo jeho pomoci dostal jate jinou deskou ueebnici, mluvnici profesora Atepanka.

Bylo jiZ po pate hodine odpoledne, kdy dorazil jsem k budove Narodni tiskarny. 8erpan, tehdy redaktor HospodaIT, jig nebyl v kancelaki, ale po kratkm telefonickem rozhovoru. ptijel nazpet v nekolika, minutach.

Z cele nak hodinu trvajici rozmluvy pamatuji se claz ylake Lye na dva jeho vYroky. Prvni mel pro mne vztah osobni. Byla to poznamka 8erpanova, ze musim bYti kodem z ValaS"ska, protole sem tam powiivam v keel slovo, vYraz nebo koncovku z nate& vala gskeho. DruhY byl jeho vYrok, ze neni nas krajanu v Texasu tolik, jak se chlubime. Tech dye ste pa,desat tisic, tki sta tisic, ba dokonce vice, je pouhYm povidanim; snad navyk Texan* vAechno zvets'ovati, ale ye skuteenosti, ze je eislem pkemrAtenYm. Odfivodiioval jsem redaktoru Serpanovi, ze musi nas v Texasu bYti nejrnene etvrt milionu, pfistehovalcil, prvni, druhe a tteti generate. Odvolaval jsem se na &inky a eislice, ktere byly tenkrate uvetejnovany s programem Ceskeho dne pti stolete ()slave v Dallas.. Nepomohly moje dfivocly a argumenty. Serpan trval na tom, ze to .dechno jsou pouze dohady. Dokonce ptipomenul: "Mate tam th, ei etyti krajanske organisace, z nichZ SPJST je nervetk. A SPJST nema vice neZ 15,000 elentl (v rote 1937). Ostatni vase organisace nemaji dohromady ani tolik. To by sotva jeden z dvanacti byl elenem va gich spolkti. To je nemyslitelne. Dokud nekdo z vakch profesoril, storikil nebo sociologfi, neprovede pattia-

POTOMKU V TEXASU

ne Setteni, dokud nepodeptete sve povidani skuteenYrni eislicemi, fakticky dokazanYmi, Texas se svYm CeskYm lidem bude za Nebraskou."

Neuvedomenil jsem si terikrate, ze htidel zemske osy je moZno nalezti na mnoha jinYch mistech neZ jen na severnim polu. easto ho najderne v nakm okoli, kde se svet toei vYhradne kolem mistnich osob a veci. Pro mne je Texas sane prostoupen deskYm Zivlem, pro zesnuleho Serpana byla to Nebraska. Ce gi v Chicagu by se nom obema vysmali. Patnact rokfi uplynulo od one rozmluvy s redaktorem 8erpanem, ze Texas se svYin eeskYm lidem je za Nebraskou. Slov jeho vzponmel jsem si, kdy jsem byl zneastnen jeho pohtbu v tijnu 1940.

PH naSem nedavnem zajezdu do Bostonu byli jsme bratr Marek a ja nekolikrat tazani, kolik je oeskeho lidu v Texasu. Odhadujeme, ze je nas nejmene etvrt milionu, ina2na o Ft() tisic vice.

Ale pokaZde pti takovem odhadli vaham s odpovedi. PokaZde vzpomenu si slov zesnuleho Stanislava 8erpana, "dokud nekdo z vakch profesorfi, historikil nebo neprovede pattiene Aetkeni, nebudete miti Cislic fakticky dokazanYch." Sto a jeden rok jiz uplynu4o od toho dne, kdy nekolik rodin, vedenYch Josefern Lidumilem Le gikarem, ptibylo do Cat Springu ku krajanu Horakovi, kterY mezi tamnejkmi Nemci byl znain pod jmenem Berger. Byli to prvni Ceti ptistehovalci, kteki dolarovolne zkeldi se sveho poddanstvi a vypovedeli poslu'Snost tehdy 201etemu cisati rakouskernu FrantiSku Josefovi Prvnimu. A Franta Josef panoval taktka sedmdesat rokt.

Statisiee deskYch sedlakft, domkat*, delnikfi a nadenikfl pkestalo uznavati Frantu Prochazku za sveho panovnika. Desitky Lekkart, Sileru, Markft, Marekla jinYch usadilo se na roZlehlYch planich Texastr. OdeSel Frant gek Josef Prvni a odeAel i Karel Posledni, a nasi ptistehovalci stale pfichazeli. JenZe nikdo je nepoeital. Nikdo, krome , paroplavebnich spolednosti, ktere vSak poditaly

pouze lodni listky, a pak pkistehovalecke fitady, kde nak krajan y byli zapisovani jako Austrijaci, Raktiane. Ta kletba rodu habsburskeho sla s krajany aZ do americkYch pkistavil.

Nekolikrat jsem litoval, ze nas dr.

Mieek nezilstal ye svem piAvodnim oboru jako historik a nepustil se do sesta.vavani dejin naยงich krajanu v Texasu.

Byla by to prace ohr9mna a nevdeend, ale 3y1 by to nezaplatiteln 'y ptinos po strance eiste vedecke. A nekolikrat jsem litoval, ze z cele kady deskYch student* nena.Ael se dosud ani jeden, kterY by pHjal za svuj nkol, za svou vedeckou praci, seitani eeskYch potomk* v Texasu.

Ovgem byla by to "prace Sisyfova" jak tomu Mica bratr Kopeeek, patrava a sheratelska price, aby se zjistilo, kolik je techil v Texasu. Pro podobnou yedeckou praci je (Mein tkeba dlouholeteho vedeckeho Skoleni v oboru historic a sociologie. Neni to prace pro eloveka, kterY sotva klin klh em vytlouka, neni to prace pro chudeho udence, zaeinajiciho svou Zivotni drahu, ani pro nemajetneho Profesora. Takova badatelski prace vyZaduje prostfedky finaneni, na zjednani pornocniku pro vypisovani ze zaznarnii, na cestovani, na stalY ptijem, pokud prace neni skoneena. Dejme tomu; '-2e by n'ekdo chtel sestaviti jen dejiny flak. SPJST, con byla by prace pomerne snadnejk neZ seitani Ceskeho lidu v Texasu. I do takove znaene menk prace nemfiZe se odvakti tlovek shanejici svou kaZdodenni skyvu. Jen pouhe sestaveni dejin SPJST muselo by bYti financovano bud' jednotlivcem, kterY si to milk dovolit, nebo spolkem, kterY by na dejinach mei zajem.

Proto neni se co diviti bratru Miekovi, ani jeho studentum, ze se do podobne prace dosud nepustili. A neni se co diviti ani jinYm nakm h.storikum, pedagogilm a sociolog6m, ze tak neudinili. emu se vaak divim, je okolnost, '& az dosud nenaki jsme nikoho, kdo by na podobnem soitani d'eskeho lidu vilbec mel zajem.

Jeho poznamka stoji za. U.vahu a lepgi povgimnuti. KaldY tad, drive nel byl za,lolen, musel poladati Hlavni tikadovnu o povoleni nebo o tak zvanou "vYsadu". Toto povoleni k zaloaeni kadu bylo vystaveno na zaklade ureitYch podminek. Rod nemohl bYti zalb: en, pokud Zadost nebyl y, podepsana jmenem deseti osob, z nichl sedm muselo bYti novYmi Cleny. Techto deset osob, sedin. novYch a tki staki elenove, zavazali se, le budou zacho yavati stano# . .. z na oia, zabyla

Mena. Mezi piedpisy je take eldnek, le pravidelne schilze kaZdeho kadu, tedy take noveh6 kadu prave zaloleneho, budou. se konati nejmene jednou za mesic.

Mezi piedpisy je dal gi pravidlo, etykikrat do roka'konaji se schtize etvrtletni, ktere pkipadaji na mesic brezen, eerven, zaki a prosinec. Jedna z techto schtizi, jichl bYti nejmene. dvanact do ,roka, je schnzi vYroeni, kdy se voli Ukednici kadu. Kter.Y rad si .toho pkeje, navrhnouti kandidaty. do niada ve schiazi pkedchazejici vYriaeni, tedy o mesic dkive, jestli neni vice nel dvanact . schtizi do roka. jsou piedpisy, to jsou nage vlastni zakony, ktere se opravuji,'obnoYuji a zmenujir jednou za etyki roky. Posledne byly tato pravidla a zakony opraveny a zmeneny na sjezdu v Houstonu. Nektere elanky byly zmeneny ye smyslu, aby vegly v platnost ihned pki sjezdu, ale yet gina amen uvedena Ode v platnost na 1. ledna pki gtiho roku.. Nebyla vgak provedena ladna zmena, ktera by davala, kteremukoliv domacimu • radu to pravo, aby Si odlalasoval, bude sve schfize konati nebo "odbYvati" v mengim poetu neZ dvanactkrat do roka, "nejmene jednou za mesic", die elanku 146.

Tedy nejsou to pokyny redaktora, jak by se nekda domnival. Redaktor je pr lis bezvYinamnYm k tomu, aby nee° vynucoval. Jeho kadky a twahy jsou toliko upozornenim.

Jestli o seetzi tt neni zajern, k tomu. nutno kiledati jedine u mistniho spolku nebo v nekterYch ustalenYch apesobech vedeni u v gech nagich•spolka.

'Onen hlavni iikednik mi vysvetlil, ze jednou rdene v gichni pkedsedove domacich facia jsou. pozvani do hlavni kadovny, kde se, pro ne upravi spoleenY obed a kde pki teto hostin g se projednaji vgechny body a telkosti spojene s povinostmi domacich pkedsedfi.

KRA'SN "tESKir ROK" Ve "Vestniku" cis. 35 (z mesice srpna) nag br. redaktor popisuje obsah eeske knihy, kterou mu dodal br. A. R. Hamusek.

Je to eetba vhodna pro kaMeho, kdo by si ptal nahlednouti do duke nageho lidu. Nejen pro cizi, ale take na ge vlastni Oechomoravany rozene uz zde. To druhe a tteti pokoleni, ktere obyeejne us malo co vi o svem puvodu.

1cniha, kterou prohliZel br. redaktor, zve se "Leto". Ta na mem stolku, take k prohlidce mne svetend br. Eamuskem, jmenuje se "Jaro". Jeji obsah je bohatY a nadhernY. Jmenovane knihy jsou ze souboru zvaneho "OeskY Ror, ktery obsahuje mimo Jara, Leta je gte Podzim a Zimu. (Jsou to knihy vydane v Oeskosiovensku. — Pozn. red.)

Obsahem jsou pokadky, tikadla, hadanky, hry, pisne a tance, jak je behem stoleti vytvately na ge eeske babieky na Morava, Oechach po v gech koutech zerne.

Po nick maminky, dedou gkove, tatove, kdyz si kravali s jejich malymi i vetgipotornky. Pak take v gelike ty verge i tikanky skladaly si ku svym brain 'deti sarny. Dorost pak, dle nalady, basnil, aby se zalibil sve lasce nebo ji gkadlil, nekdy jemne, jindy dost furiantsky. Zkratka: "OeskY rok" je pdrazem slovanskeho ducha, v tomto ptipade na geho deskeho. V nem, jako zrcadle, vidite v gechnu peel Ceske babiny nebo matieky o "toho potomedka maleho".

RADU POKROK HOUSTONU Hra "She's my Daisy" byla veru hezkou veselohrou, smith neustaval hiaholiti po celou dobu hry a vaechna test herciim, hrali vaichni tekneme ptimo skvele, lope to nemohli sehrati. Navateva byla sluanou, ad . mohla bYti vetai. Sestra Helen Fusig, - Daisy Darling, who is full of ideas - drZela se vYborne, Ze mela pomerne dlouhou ulohu, sluaelo ji to, peknY postoj, dobte se v uloze pohybova.la a jsoue pilvabnou mladou damou, hodila se dobte pro tuto Ulohu mlade panidky. Jejim protejakem, - Donald Darling; her husband - byl Lawrence Bravenec, avarnY junak jenZ te2 delal sve uloze nest, nejsem si jist, ale myslim, Ze to bylo po prve, co hral na naaem jeviati.

Vyborny herecky parek tvotili Steve Kelly a jeho pani Estelle Kelly v illohach Freddieho Adaira a Anne Adair jako pta.tel Darlingovych. Oba hezci a mladi a zrovna pro ty role vybrani, jeZ dobte vystihli.

Druha dvojice, rovneZ velmi dobte se pro jich ulohy hodici, byly velmi dobte zname herecke kapacity, sestra Naomi Kostomlatsky, co Lucy Bell Barrett - a bride at fifty-five - a Amos Kadleeek, jako Peter Barrett, - her husband. Naomi ye mnohYch aktech zrovna triumfovaala a Amos rovna tak. Nda zet', Don Earl, jako Dr. Apple, who cures or kills rids ptekvapil, vystoupil na no gem jeviati po prve, sehral svou Ulohu velmi dobte. tlloha - Mrs. Snooks, a terribly worried woman - byla ptidelena sestte Louise Kadleeek. Mam za to, ae tot vystoupila po prve ye hie na naaem jeviati a proto sledoval jsem jeji vystoupeni peelive a mohu tici, Ze mne svou sehrou opravdu ptekvapila, hrala velmi dobte. Jako Mrs. Kelly, a janitress - vystoupila sestra Mary Johnson. Pro itlohy energickYch Zen, vynikajichni dobrYini hlasivkami se narn sestra Johnsonova vYborne hodi. Jak jsem jiz easteji podotkl, mame mezi naafi hereckou drutinou kroldku Hlahol herce, kteti, maji-li pro ne ptipadnou tak v ni se zaskveji mimotadnou talentovanosti.

Sestra Harriette Earl vedouci relii hry, vzala na se dosti obtiZnou filohu osobnosti - Queenie, a mystery. - Tuto Ulohu choromyslne sehrala vehni podrobne, bylo vidno, ae studiu tae venovala velkou peei, tteba ma velke herecke nadani, je nutno illohu take studovati, aby jeji ptedvedeni na, jeviati pekne vyznelo. PonevadZ vaichni herci byli vedeni snahou, aby hru dobte sehrali, dopadla cela hra vYborne, jak bylo patrno ze stalYch souhlasnYch projevti z tad navatevnikit. Sestra Birdie Hilsher mela ulohu neptllia ptijemnou jako napovecla a jeviatni vYpravu, pane odpovidajici deji hry o-

Soudasne pisatel a jeho pani dekuji za svezeni do a ze sine panu a pani Maticeovum, ona je bYvala, sleena Vlasta Kindlova a stale sliena. Byli tea hie ptito-mni.

Hle, hie, pani Kostomlatska s dcerou Naomi byly na qeknem vYlete po moti as na Paname. Mote pry bylo klidnYm, tak ae ani neokusili tu motskou nemoc. Sealy se na Paname s naaim synem Jindtichem. Tim Kostomlatsky jel na prazdninovY vYlet aZ na Puerto Rico, tak mu ptejeme mile pobaveni.

Oh, you naughty boy, Mr. Johnson! So you were too inquisitive and wanted to delve into the mysteries of the night life in Mexico, while you were sojourning there. And that did not satisfy you yet and you paid also a visit to the exhibit, where the naughty "hula hula" dancers in the scant attire have been exposing bronzy skinned lithe bodies and limbs in very frivolous dance. And still more shocking deeds, after imbibing freely some of those Carta blanca beers for an extra excitement you took a ride, thinking you we a "caballero grande" not on a fiery steed, but on a lowly ass, burro. That beer, Carta blanca, is a powerful beverage, often leading you on the path of frivolity and transgression. - Tak sestra Johnosonova, to take zkouaela dostati se po tech fizounkYch a vysokych schodech na tu pyramidu, dotahla to as do ttetiny, dale se akrabati se ji nelibilo. Jeji mua ji take svedl k navateve toho z jednech "night clubs" solidnejaiho jia mista, ale i tam to "mot penez .koatuje". Zapomenul jserri se ji otazati, zda-li tam take tancovali rhumba neb fandango pospolu, di jim tam v torn mexidti senorove a seriority davali lekce.

Z MEHO VANDRU PO ZAPADNIM POBIkEti Jsem tipominana, prod nesdelim neco ve Vestniku z toho rneho vandru po za.padnim pobreli.

Lehko psat, soustredit my glenky na psani, kdy ony se stale je gte toulaji po tech krasnYch zasneZenYch horach, mezi nimi ty krasne firodne udoli protkavane jezery a pottidky, ktere jsou Ziveny pra meny a malYmi vodopady z tech yysodYch hor„ ty krasne lest' s ohromnymi stromy, a snad nejkrasnej gi kvetiny sveta.

Za druhe, mill etenari, jak vysvita z vagich mYlite se, ja jsem to tentokrate protahla na del gi eas.

Jsem doma necele dva tYdny a bYt mi moano, jsem hotova jet zase.

Pamatuji jegte co male deck°, jednou prijel k nam stark p. Buriata a rikal Ze zase si obul boty z toulaveho telete, ae jsou lakave, jak je jednou dlovek cbuje, ce pak jim zteZka, odola, a jsou boty z teleci kfiZe a co je toulave tele, to jsem vedela, ale to mne tehdy na malt' rozum nemohlo prijit, jak p. I3uriata vi, ae ty jeho boty jsou z tulaveho telete. Otec mi vys yetlil, Ze on minil jeho cestovani, o kterem nam vypravel. Ted' po 50 letech doznavam, ze kaZde jeho slovo bylo pravdive.

Loni po Umrti a pohibu meho man2ela byla jsem v San Diego, Kalf. U dcery a zete Jeff a Sylvia Holmes nejakY das.

V tydriu, jak Jeff prijel z prace, tak jsme delali vyjiZd'ky po San Diego a v okoli, a na weekend jsine v2dy jell dal do stareho Mexika, dvakrate do Los Angeles a okoli, kde jsem nejaky eas pobyla u rodieti zete Mr. aMrs. A. B. Holmes. Pak jsem jela do San Francisco k gvakrove pi. Hedvice Casse a dcerugce Eugenii. Pak jsem mela jet navgtivit p. a pi. Fr. Eisnerv Malin, Ore. Z te cesty tehdy salo, za jedno, nebyla nalada, za druhe, radio hla,silo, ae tam maji snehove vanice, tak ja, dale nejela. Za meho pobytu u Hedviky kaZdY den jsme delali vyjiZd'ky po San Francisko a okoli. To spoledne cestovani se nam oboum zalibilo, tak jsme se urnluvily, ae toto leto ja tarn prijedu as ona bude mit prazdniny a tu cestu do Oregonu adelame spoleene. Celt' rok jsme se obe na tu cestu teSily a planovaly. Rrzy z jara Hecivika psala, ae si vezme "vacation" od 18. srpna do 2. zari. Vg e glo ja,ko hodiny.

K tomu na to v gechno ku konci derma dcera ze an Diego pi ge: "Mama, nag "vacation" bude od 4. do 18. srpna. Prijed' jiste pied 1. srpnem. My v gichni jsme se rozhodli jet do Kanady, nav gtivit Jeffrey tetu a co eas bude stadit pod vat se po Kanade. Ty musi g jet s nand."

Tu se u mne uplatnila slova p. Buriaty.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR PERMIT ME TO HAVE a few words with our local 'organizers. I should like to get them realize the importance of knowing some additional points about the fraternal insurance. By way of apology, let me admit that the thoughts presented in the following paragraphs are not my cwn. I came to " get the material accidentally. When in Boston, I was in my room at the Sheraton Plaza Hotel, pounding my typewriter and preparing material for the next issue of the Vestnik. A group of people commenced to talk and laugh in the hall just 'outside my room. The talking and laughing went on for some time. I recognized among the voices two of my new acquaintances. I couldn't write, couldn't concentrate, so I picked up my coat and opened the door. Thus I was introduced to the whole group. One of them gave me his business card. I recognized him as one of the speakers before the Fraternal Field Managers Ascsociation. It gave me an opportunity to get a copy of his address.

only by this procedure his fraternal society was able to write over 58 million of new business in 1951. That, incidentally, is twice as much as we have written since the SPJST was organized fifty-five yeari ago.

•

THE TROUBLE WITH MOST fraternal solicitors, he continued in his talk, is that they want to commercialize the life insurance and just sell it on rates, net cost, etc., the same as the commercial companies. The fraternal solicitor, by following this method, is missing. the boat. The fraternal salesman does not take advantage of all the other features the fraternal societies have that the socalled Old Line Companies do not have and would be happy if they did. Every fraternal society has something to be proud of—that they are maintaining homes for the aged, tubercular sanatoriums, supporting their needed members, making endowments for educations, etc., a beautiful picture can be built showing that it doesn't cost the policyholder anything because the saving in premium HIS TALK WAS SOMETHING which taxes goes to do this work. ♦ ♦ should have been heard by every one of our SPJST solicitors. He stated that the THE SPEAKER REFERRED to his own most difficult obstacle to overcome in training a new man in the life insurance society and explained how its solicitors business is to get him into production as do it.

He will buy it and to be done. He expressed the belief that you will not have to force him to do so.

THEN A NEW IDEA has taken hold' of the solicitors 'of our society. Instead of only telling the prospect the story of our society, we now show them print. We have a new illustrated Pa1:1:1phlet giving the pictures, a chart shoW7, ing our growth, listing all our benevolent activities, showing our field opera-, tion with amount of insurance by states, pictures of all the students who received, scholarship awards in the past yeai from ,our society, a picture of some of the churches we have financed through. mortgage loans.

IT IS MUCH EASIER to present facts through the eye. We buy 90% by what we see. So our approach is through:the, eye rather than through the ear. We, try to make our insurance talks as ;simple to understand as possible and not, be, confusing the prospect with a Jot of, figures and settlement options that-he, can't understand. We do not talk about premiums, policy reserves, automatic loans, or extended insurance.

WILL YOU HELP YOUR EDITOR As a rule, the majority of our members get the Vestnik on Thursday. They read it, they notice some of the articles . or letters, and they wish to make their own comments. They usually read the current issue and 'then they send their contribution for publicantion. Quite frequently, some of the letters arrive on Saturday. Others are delivered on Monday. Those late contributions are the biggest headaches. Let us see if we can explain why.

•The printing office, where the Vestnik is being published, has to have its routine. It has to be that way for a Smooth functioning. The linotype operators start setting the type for the Vestnik en Thursday. They have three days to do it, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

'Yeti can break your baby-feeding schedUle and get by, • but you can't fool those machines and the men who operate them. The manuscripts, articles, editorials, and reports mustbe there on time.

Friday afternoon, and again Saturday afternoon, a trial print is made from the type already set, and mailed to the editor • forcxamination and correction. The editor takes the "proof sheets", spreads 'then' on his desk, and, with a pencil in hand, he reads the "proofs," letter by letter, , word by word, line by line. It takes him from six to eight hours to read the entire issue. He mails it back to the printing office. Monday is the day for the operators in the printing office to make the corrections which the editor found in the "proofs." If an y additional

material comes to the printing office on Monday, and if the time and space permits, the late matter is set in type, corrected by someone in the printing office, and is made ready for the current issue How about the letters which the editor gets on Saturday? Isn't it time to set them Monday, hardly, except the short letter or two, with another disadvantage.

The editor does not get to read the "proof", and this editorial responsibility has to be done by someone else. It is the unloading of the editor's duties on another person which should be avoided.

For nearly four years, a notice appeared in every issue of the Vestnik that everything intended for publication must be in the hands of editor a week before the date of issue. That notice was placed there after a very careful consideration not to cause any hardship to all concerned, including members, typesetters, editor, and printer. This is the rule which all of us should remember: the typesetter must get your letters through the hands of editor not later than Saturday morning; editor gets the same letter—already set in type— either Saturday night or Sunday morning. Or Put it another way: the final hour for the editor to send your letter to the printing office is at 5:00 Friday afternoon.

Would you kindly see to it that your contributions are in the hands of editor not later than Friday? He wants to read the "proofs" of your letter set in type on Saturday or Sunday.

Many thanks for your co-operation.

SEVEN GOALS IN LIFE Talk to fifty people you know. Ask filch the same question: "What is your • 'Oal in life?" You will get fifty answers, but I will wager that not more than two or three of your fifty friends will have a clear-cut idea of what his goal is.

The others will tell you they want retirenient and ease, or a Million dollars; or • a trip around the world, or to see their 'Children married off, or to serve others.

But not many will be able to describe a specific goal toward which they are !Nmrking.

Yet without a goal you are going to be cheated out of most of the fun of working, because if you do not know what you are working toward you won't have the satisfaction of recognizing it when you attain it, don't you see?

Recently a psychologist outlined a Seven•point goal that he believes everyone should have, regardless of what

his specific aim in life is.

The first goal should be to win friendS. Without friends all other goals are futile.

Second goal should be greater knowledge of and skill in handling others, in order to gain out of life what you want.

Third goal: success at work. There is a peculiar satisfaction in doing a good job which makes this goal one of the most important of all.

The fourth is happiness. That is evasive, and perhaps no one can tell what happiness is, how it is to be attained.

But it is worth working for.

The fifth goal is' self-management.

The sixth goal, he says, is the acquisition of good mental habits, and that certainly is worth while in living a satisfactory , life.

The final goal is helpful citizenship.

If you can integrate these with your individual goal, you can be pretty sure of living a richer, better life.

Calorie Counting Made Easier When you start reducing, you'll do yourself a big psychological favor if you stress what you can eat rather that what you can't. Too many people begin a diet with the dour belief that they're in for a period of grim, tasteless eating.

That's by no means true, since dozens of foods you like and ordinarily eat are recommended fare for trimming off pounds. As soon as you realize this, and see how many good foods are also good easier. Just note the variety and taste for you, you'll find calorie counting much appeal of the following basic foods for weight watchers: Fruits: Apples, apricots, blackberries, cantaloupe and other melonS, currants, grapefruit, oranges, peaches, pears, pine-. ,rums, rasperries, strawberries, tangerines. These may be eaten raw or cooked, without sugar or cream. Stick to unsweetened and water-packed canned fruit; tart quick-frozen fruit, small quantities only of dried fruit.

Milk: Skim or buttermilk; dried skim milk powder.

Vegetables: Asparagus, green beans, beets and their greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, Swiss chard, collards, Cucumber, dandelion greens, eggplant, kale, kohlrabi, lettuse of all kinds mushrooms, okra, onions, parsley, green and red peppers, white potatoes (can be used sparingly except on strict diet), radishes, spinach, squash, tomatoes, turnips and their greens, water cress. Eat these raw or cooked, without butter.

Meat, fish, and fowl: Any lean portion or variety, cooked without added fat.

Avoid gravies, stuffings, rich sauces, creamed dishes.

OUR NEIGHBOR MEXICO One of the generals who helped in the execution of Maximilian was Porfirio Diaz. After death of Juarez, July 18, 1872, Diaz organized his own revolution and made himeelf dictator of Mexico. The thirty-five years during which Diaz ruled Mexico, from 1875 to 1910, were years of enterprise. Statistically, this was the most progressive period in Mexican history. Eiumanly, it was a calamity. It threw Mexico back into an irresponsible autocracy. The haciendas were not broken up.

The rulling class accumulated more land, the best land. Greedy individualism was thriving unrestrained. A handful of politicians, generals, and hacendados were doing very nicely. They had almost unlimited power over the lives and destinies of the Indians. The rich grew richer, the poor poorer.

In 1910 Diaz invited the best people to celebrate, on September 16, the Great Centenial of Father Hidalgo's El Grito de Dolores. At the expense of twenty million pesos' worth of decorations, banquets, fireworks, the aristocracy drank carloads of champagne, danced and and sang, the women displayed jewels and fine dresses. Nobody seemed to pay attention to the angry voices in huts wherepeones slept on petates, to the shouts of a rude storekeeper named Pascual Orozco, better known to history as Pancho Villa. No one noticed down in the state of Morelos a little fighting-cock of a man named Emiliano Zapata who was exciting the Indians. Nobody seemed to hear the angry word 'Revolucion"; "Tierra y Liberdad"; and "Death to the Hacendados". — A few months later Porfirio Diaz, the octogenerian president of Mexico, fled to France.

The revolution or 1910 is usually referred to in Mexico as THE Revolution with a capital "R". However, it did not begin with the overthrow of Diaz. It began one hundred years earlier with Hidalgo. It was continued by Benito Juarez. From Father Hidalgo's call to the flight of Diaz was one century. It was a century of social upheavals, a century of hell. The revolution of 1910 was the fulfillment of Hidalgo's dream, was a real revolution in its aims as well as in its results.

MEXICAN REFORMS SINCE 1910 It is best to think of the Mexican revolution of 1910 as a movement made up of a series of waves conceived in confusion and executed — or prosecuted — in disorder. Most of the actions seemed to have independent beginnings and inde• pendent objectives. There have been so many cross currents that it is most diffi-

Wednesday, October 15, 1952 resurgent enthusiasm . If the revolution has accomplished nothing else, it at least has one great achievement to its credit: it has revived hope; it has strengthened faith; it has given men something to work for and towards — in a word, it has reintroduced the'future into 'Mexican existence.

Yes, the reform of Mexican education has injected into the national life one of its most important dimensions: the future.

MEXICO IS .LOOKING FORWARD' It would be fOolish to make definite conclusions. It shoud be clear that the status of a man living all his life as a serf cannot be transformed suddenly by telling him to walk as a free man. It takes time. The vast programs of social and economic reform are still aspirations.

It is true that Mexico is showing an increased national consciousness, showing some progress in the direction of political unity. Mexicans are not blind to the difficulties of . economic improvements like railroads, highways, arid communication • lines to bind the isolated regions. They know' the failues as - well as the successes in their agrarian program.

The new Administration, under Mexico's new President, Miguel Aleman, is concentrating on building up Mexico's economy. After year of domination by army generals who were active in the revolutions, Mexico finally has an administration compoSed of civilians, President Aleinan is an attorney. He never has had a military title. Most of his official fainily are civilians, scholars, technicians, businessmen.

The new President announced last December hiS economic program with two top-place objectives: increase of food production and industrial expansion. Aim of his program is 'to raise standards of living and to make Mtxieo independent of import of staple foods. Formerly Mexico was almost self-sufficient in food, but • now the country has to import considerable quantities for her growing population. The new administration is getting under way a $300 million program to increase the irrigated land by nearly 150%.

The irrigation projects are planned for the Papaloapan River, in Vera Cruz; the Sinaloa and Fuerte rivers, in Sinaloa; Yaqui River, in Sonora; and Tehuantepec River, in Oaxaca. Areas to be watered by these irrigation projects will be 2,700,000 acres.

Power facilities will be installed whenever feasible. But power production will be subordinate to the main purpose — irrigation. Power to be generated will be used primarily for agricultural purposes, but some of it will be made available for commercial purposes. Engineers estimate

that the new generators will have a capacity of 200,000 kilowatts, thus increasing the hydro-electric capacity of Mexico by 50%. Aleman promised to make irrigation one of the outstanding items of the national budget. Under the increase area of irrigation, plus modernization of farming methods, it is estimated to increase food production by 80%. President Aleman hopes to see the program completed when his term expires in 1952.

On the heels of the finale of the contest came an invitation from the Needville Lodge for all the children to assemble for supper in the dining room.

This was indeed, very nice of the Lodge, and Stefanik Lodge sends sincere thanks, and appreciation.

After getting Stefanik's fourteen little entertainers adjusted in the dining room, I walked out to,the cool porch for a cold drink and lo! and behold! (After all the M. C. work) there sat Bro. Frank Vavrik playing his accordian and the whole audience milling around him, singing. What a gala time we had!

Everyone let their hair down and forgot their dignities and laughed, talked, sang and played. The rhythm of the music got under some of our skins and we even danced -- right there on the porch.

It was the best time I had since the the district meeting was held in Houston last year.

So from the bottom of my heart I implore you that didn't take part in this District Meeting and children's contest to do so at the next one Represent your Lodge with at least one representative for the meeting and one contestant.

First on the agenda was to correct the date. In a previous article it was reported as being held on Saturday night, October 25. The correct date is Monday night, October 27, 1952 and the program will start at 7:30 p. m.

All three lodges were most cooperative in having two or three numbers ready for the program. Being able to get together with other fraternal societies working with them, exchanging points of view and meeting new friends is wonderful as there are places in this world where such priviledges clo not exist.

Make your plans now to attend this program on Monday night, Octobe:- 27 at 7:30 p. m. at Pokrok Dallas 84, 2625 Floyd Street, Dallas, Texas.

See you there, Sis A. M. Vrla •)• •( You can't make a good hand out of a heel.
