SCHtZE BRATRSKiCH SPOLKU (Proslov redaktora v diktriktni schfizi v Nelsonville) E VINOU bratra Marka, Ze mne musite vyslechnouti. Mel jsem v amyslu bYti dnes veder na divadle "Bordynkati" v Dallas a zustat tam do zittka na vedirek Fraternalist6 u tddu Pokrok Dallas eislo 84. Pfedseda Marek pied tYdnem v Bleiblerville nine pie sveddil, ze dne gni distriktni schilze je Tegi nine, ze je vas zde slu gnY podet.

KdyZ mam pied sebou takove shromaldeni, ptipominam si jednoho meho profesora, kterY je baptistskYm kazatelem.

Byla velikonoeni nedele. Kostel byl zapinen novYmi gaty a hladce oholenymi tvatemi. Jak vite, mame tii druhy lidi ye SpojenYch statech: ti, kdo chodi do kostela pravidelne; ti, kdo nechodi do kostela; a ti, kdo tam jdou jen tenkrat, kdy maji nove gaty nebo jsou pekne ostfihani.

Byla velikonodni nedele. Kazatel ptiviLai napinenY kostel. Vgem ptitomnYm ptal vesele vanoce a St'astny novY rok.

V lidech se zatajil deck nad nedim tak nezvyklYm. Ale kazatel s Usmevem na tvati vysvetloval, Ze mnoho ptitomnych nevidel uZ" rok a- sotva uvidi az za rok z velikonoenich svatcich, a proto pouZiva pthelitosti ptati jim veselYch svatka vanoenieh a St'astneho noveho roku.

Dnes neni velikonofti nedele a je vas to dosti hodne. Nepti gli jste, protole jste pekne obledeni a hladce oholeni. Ani nemate pied sebou kazatele. Kdysi byl jsem uditelem. Ale poznal jsem, ze i na uditele byl jsem hloupy, a dim star gi, tim hloupejgi.. Po petatticeti letech gel jsem zno•- I n studie. Clovek musi byt hodne vu na hloupY, aby 'gel zpatky na studie, kdy je mu 55 rokft. Vzalo mne to -di roky, neZ jsem dokoneil universitu.

Od vedneho studentstvi vysvobodil mne TiskovY vYbor. Najali nine za redaktora. Dnes

Na gai clenum od redaktora .

Ves nag organ, ma bytt zreadlem toho, co se deje v na gem spolkovem vote, v naiSich domacich ride; h, v na 51c11 distriktnich schnzich, v naS'i 'hlavni kancelari. Redaktor aby mel oei a USi vhide, aby mel zpravy od dornacich arednikil nebo dopisovateln, aby mel styk nit vAeclany strany. Jinak to naSe arcadin je nedokonale, nerovne a celkovY obraz je hodne pokrivenY. Vcieeim proto kaZdemu elenu za jakoukoliv zpravu ,-;polkovem Z1vote, o praci a einnosti v clomacich radech, o planech a podnicich, o zabavach a diva,diech, o co se meal nami hYbe. Dekuji kaZ'demu, kdo si vezme chvilku east', aby napsal do Vestniku per radek o vecech spolkov-Ych. Tentokrate pochvalu si zaslouZi bratr Baron z Fayetteville a bratr A. M. Vrla z Dallas. Bratr P. P. Baron, Glen radu Pokrok Texasu 'Oslo 1, je nove zvolenYm

tajemnikem prvniho distriktu, a bratr A. 11/1. Vrla, 'Olen radii Jaro eisla 130, byl ceremoniarem pri vecirku Fraternalistii -sr Dallas. Jejich zpravy najdete , v nnn tide.

Nebylo by t •eb doplriovati zpravy od tech citron, bratri, ale patri to k po yinnOstem redaktora, aby dovolil etenarinn Vestniku podivati' se na s polkovY svet pres redaktorovy brejle. Nerikam, to pomilae v kratkozrakcsti, ale vypoinaha. to pri tvoreni vlastniho a samostatneho usudku. Kdyi dva lide popisuji stejnou vec, kahlY ji maluje jinak, a ctenar si tvori s y rij vlastni obraz, prichazi ku vlastnim nahledum. Troche samostatneho premYSleni neuskodi addnemu V nedeli X26. fijna konala se distriktni schuze v Nelsonville v sini radii Vesmernost eislo 68. Add Vesmerncst ujal se zodpovedneho ukolu bYti hostem pro vkchny na yStevniky. Byl jsem velice mile prekvapen, kolik jsem jieh spatril.

S vYjimkou dvou schuzi, byl jsem _pri tomen vSern distriktnim schnzim aZ dosud konanYm, a mohu - smele rick ze tentokrate byla v distriktu nejsilnej'Si representace. Ostatne posud'te sami: krome domacich time, ktere jsem nel)Ceital a kteri samozrejme byli nejpoeetnejAi, bylo tam 74 zastupcn od 17 jinYch radii. Distrikt prvni ma osm okresu. V nem monle 35 domacich radu. KdyZ zapoeitame rad Vesmernost s jejich Cleny, bylo tarn 18 radii a pres sto Menu, pathcich jen do distriktu Krome toho byli tam elenove z jinYch distrikUr. NejsilnejAi delegace byla od radu Needville.

Nemoe v mistnim fade zavinila, ze pripravenY detskY program nemohl byti predveden, jak bylo pilvodne planovano.

Jinak schilze byla obstojna, skoro WIT rekl nadprilmerne zdarila svYm vYstedkem. Zajem byl velikY. PoslortZllo by eel-kovem ujednani, kdyby hlavni Arednici prinesli do distriktnich schuzi neco proMyReneho, i*akou direktivu, nejake nakresy o agitaeni einnosti v distriktech, nee° vice ne'Z jen slova stokrate opako-Yana,. Mame pred sebou nove fikoly a k vypineni jejich musime znati srner a zpiisob, jako tyto nkoly resin. Delniku' do spolkove stavby bylo dosti, ale patrebovali jsme inZenYry a stavitele, kteri by pied- zraky delniku rozprostreli nakresy a plany.- Zvoleni byli distriktni firednici, zvolen ma bYti programovY vY bor, ale to jsou obetavi delnici, eekajici na pokyny odnekud odjinud. Nedamcli jim instrukce, jak agitaeni prate dale provadeti, zajem ochabne, nadSeni vychladne a budeme cpet tarn, kde jsme byli, nez jsme mm161:ill stat na distrikty.

Prave ye schuzi v Nelsonville byla toho' nejlepg ukazka. PriAlo 18 radii, priSlo pres sto zatupcil jen z jednoho distriktu,

, (inc 5. 110,npatin 1952. priSly pokyny a navody, a co dostali?

Reel, slova, Craze, opakovani znamYch vYrokil, trochu chvaly, trcchu lichoceni, trochu stareho spolkareni. Takovymi cestami jsme Sli drive, ale elleeme to am:6'AM. Pres sto zastupcu pi-k7;lo pro nee° ureiteho, zajimavejAiho, a naCi Jednote prospeAnejSiho. Jejich zajem nebyl podepten. ---- Ale prominte. to redaktorovy brejle jsou umazany, potrebuji oeisteni, Za nredniky prvniho distriktu byliizveleni: Alfred Stepan, hen radu 33. za predsedu; Ladgie B10,ek, od radu fib, za mistopredsedu; a P. P. Baron, od halo - 1, za tajemnika. PelielennY programovY vYbor ma bYti ust • noven predsedon a mistOptedsedou distriktu, aby vypracoval program pro priSti schuzi.

ye stredu, dne b. listopadu 1952.

Stine bychom mohli nazvati "matice fraternalistfe' nebo "sbory fraternalistfi".

Tyto sbory mame v Dallas, F:rt Worth, Houstonu a San Antonio. Do tohoto kru-* hu fraterna.listil mail pristup zastupci vSech bratrskYch spolka v onom kterem meste neb okoli. Obeas v gechny bratrske spolky poradaji spoleeny veeirek die dchodnati. Ze vgech vY ge jmenovanch krouZkil fraternalistii, dallask "Fraternal Council" je nejeilejSi. Ma schnze etykikrat rob* a perada, pravidelne svo.je Veeirky. Bratrsky veeirek, pripadajici na podzimni sezonu, byl poradan v pondeli veder, 27. rijna 1952, v sini radu Pokrok Dallasu eislo 84. Veeirek byl velice zdafilSr, a zasluhuje zvla gtni =inky.

Poznamenal jsem, ze redaktor by mel miti oei a 1,81 v:§ude, styky na vSechny strany, aby spolkov3i organ byl zrcadlem.

V pondeli rano rozhodl jsem se, Ze zajedu do Dallas na yeeirek fraternalistrt.

Zval. jsem jine, chtel jsem do Dallas pHvesti moraini posilu a take telesnou straZ, ale nakonec jely se mnou jen moje manZielka a pani Svaeinova, nano pritelkyne a bYvala scusedka. Dojeli jsme k sini radu Pokrok Dallas eislo 84 patnact minut pied hlaSenSrm zapoeetim v sedm hodin. Bratr Vodieka, tajemnik radu eislo 84, a bratr. Blatnk, . t'astne nas ujistill, ze program nezaene az v ,osm. Nebyli jsme pozde a bylo mi doprano promluviti si s mnoha bratrimi a sestrami od obou dallaskSic,h Dalasky veeirek fraternalistir byl paradan HIdem Pokrok Dallas eislo 84, tddem Jaro eislo 130 a radem Dallas Cislo 401 ZOBJ. Prod programem byla kratSi schntka za.stupcf, vSech bratrskYch a sesterskSich spclkfi patricich do dallaskeho krular fraternalista. Nezjistil jsem vSe• chny zastupce, abych seznal, zda vsechny byly zastoupeny, ale bylo pritonino 25 osob. V kruhu - dallaskYch fraternalistil je dvanact organisaci, noeitaje dva mistni rady SPJST jako jednu organisaci.

Ceremoniatem pri programu v sini du Pokrok Dallasu byl mladk bratr Arnold M. Vrla, od radu eislo 130. Bratr Vrla byl na sjezdu v Houstonu predsedou, vYboru na platy a dary. Jako ceremoniar, v angifetene zvaneho "emcee", co2. je zkratka M. C., master of ceremonies, poeinal si bratr Vrla velmi obratae.

Uvitaci proslov prednesl bratr Sid Pokladnik, mladY, sympatickY a zkrCsenY predseda radu Pokrok Dallasu. UvaZoval jsem pii poslouchani uvitaci reei v anglietine, jak elenove jinYch Pada, kde maji podobne predsednieke sily, jsou St'astni a mohou bYti hrdi na sve Utedniky.

Jen mhnochodem jseni si vzpoinael na bratra Rudu efeika, nynejSiho predsedu radu Pokrok Houstonu, rovneZ. schopneho predsethr. Prc ,. slov bratra predsedy od radu Pokrok Dallasu byl libivk a pti-

Zpravu z naroclniho bratrskeho kongresu podala pain Mary Young, ktera meal jinkm ,cznamovala, Ze zasedani Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu bude v zati 1953 v hotelu Baker v Dallas.

Poznamenala, ze Usma y spokojenosti rna tvatich delegatfi z Texasu byl tak znatelnk jako mapa Texasu.

Celt' yeeirek fraternalistil v Dallas byl vhodne rozdelen na etyki easti: schilzka administraeni, proslovy k navStevnikurn, program . omladiny a obeerstveni pro hasty. Ptal bych si, abych slovy mohi vykresliti jednopiva eisla detskeho programa', coF nelze. Jen jsem uva2oval, kolik talentil inane mezi s ykrni etetrni, v naPi mladeFi, a nevime, jak toto vyuFitkovati v pine mike. Jen obe'as a to velmi ztidka zachytime zde a onde nepatrnou ukazku toho, co naPeraliideF mi. Jen vkjimeene a velmi zildka nime jejich vkkony nepatrnym potleskern, at' jsou to tance, zpevni eisla, deklamanky nebo ukazky umeni' a talentu hudebniho. Maine v nick hrivny, ale po zpasobu biblickeho hospodate ukrkvame je pod kbelikem. Mane jsem si vzpomril na soutel deti v distriktni sehtizi v Needvilla. Nebyl jsem ptitomen, byli jsme, 'bratr Marek a ja, na, zpate6ni, ceste z Bostontr, ale slykl jsem, ze program stal za to. Program v Dallas rOvneF stal za to. A co nam ptekati, aoychorn nekcly nepodnikli souta mladek r celeho Texasu?

KdyF ptikladne slyPel jsein mlaktakeho Frankie Fitzoveho bratLna talaaci harmonica "PrPi,.prPi" nebo "Bivoa h•lubieku", zdalo se mi, ze by ho meld vyslechnout deska ve •einost ariebo t,e. by mel byti uspotadan kontest niladeZe ze vsecli sedmi distriktti SPJST, a, at' jsOu ti nejlepPi r:dmeneni. Nebo deveatka Staglikovy, Rose Marie Rychlikova a .Carole OndrilPkova rnohly by zavoditi p 3inSrmi odjinud v tancich, zpevu, ye hte na piano, Znovu opakuji, co tell jsera v NeLativine, Fe pottebovali bychora v SPJST mladeho, nadaneho Clem,, 10 . 00 by vyhledal meal naPi mladeFi. vSenioFnk talent a hledel ho zuZitkovati pro flak re-klamu, pro dobro 'wade& r. pro budOucnost Jednoty. Mame takove mlade, sett:pile lidi, jell neviroe, j ak do tuba, jak bychom sehnali penire na, jejich vyclrFoydni. NeptemkPliine.

Byla to znaena ztrata, east', tento zijezd do Dallas mezi eleny obou rtniti SPJST, Cleny a ittedniky jinkoh bantrskkch a sesterskkch spolkil, ale nemohu ztraty easu litovati. 6eho vSak nebyl tam nikdo z naach hlavnich tedniktt a teditelft.

Lituji, Ze sentry a bratri v Dallas nerneli toho poteSeni predstaviti nektereho z na gich vecloticich svYm hostam a f •ednikima od jinYch bratrskkch spolka. Z jedenacti atednikii a teditelti SPJST mohl se ukazati aspofi jeden.

Od pritele Karla, Hujera, astronorna pfi hvezdarne university v Chattanooga, Tenn., dostal jsem prosbu, kterou zde rivetejritrji.

Mete toho priklad zde. Proto jednaji a hlasuji jen elenove pritomni. Ale pravi delve schfize mistnich radii jsou zakonitou povinnosti, jako je pOvinnosti, aby naSe SPJST mela sjezd delegatfi aspon jednou za etyri roky, kdyt ne easteji.

Tato otazka, jak zlepSiti nayStevoyani schfizi, je velmi tetkYm oriS. kem u vSech bratrskYch organisaci. Mluvil jsem o tom nedavno v Bostonu na Narodnim bratrskein kongresu s firedniky jinYch spolkti.

Jeden mi vypravel, to at do nedavna y e .'skera einnost u jejich domacich byia schfize a svaeina, schfize a obeerstveni, zaplatit, najist se a napit. Ale poznali, to jidlo a piti nepritahne do stateenou nava0vIt. Poznali, to takova spolkova einnost je pretitek z tech pionYrskYch dob, kdy tivotni potteby se mebod.ne talucikem, mene srdcem a hlavou. Nevim, zdali rozumite, co tim minil.

Chtel naznaeiti to biblickou pravdu, "Ne samYni clalebem elovek tiv bude". Tedy i z nasich sclafizi by si meld elenove odnesti vice net taluclek piny kolacu, piny kale nebo piva.

Jak dokateme obtiviti nak sebum? Ani tyto distriktni schtize y am to nepodaji upeeene na taliri. V techto distriktnich schfizich se yam pouze naznaei testy a zpfisoby, jak se neco da provadeti, at prijdete domfi. V techto distriktnich sena.zich bode pozdeji motno dati domacim firednikfini ureite pokyny, jak smodernisovati domaci schfize, jak dostati vet:Si navStevu, jak dostati mlade eleny mezi nas.

Jak dostati mlade deny mezi nas. To je to hlavni. To je net nejdtilelitejSi problem. My star' jsem eleni SPJST jit tricot, etyricet a padesat rokti, a nate deti nebyly ye schtizi od doby sveho uvedeni.

Dnes nesedi mezi naraii mladici a deveata. Dnes nemame 251ete a 301ete tiredniky. Dnes naSe schfize jsou vedeny stars'-mi lidmi pro stars' eleny. Does naSe schuze zestarly, jako jsme sami sestarli. A pro budoucnost na g' SPJST potrebujeme do naSich schuzi lidi mladsi. Potrebujeme mlad gi lidi, aby planovali prop-ramy, ktere by byly programy jejich, pro mlade lidi.

Je mnoho veci, ktere bycholn mohli mlaclYm poskytnout. Jente musime jim rosin-net. Musime k nim mluvit tak, aby middi Tide citili, Sc jsou nam rovni. Musime k nim rnluvit tie jako prisnY tata k neposluSnernu synkovi, ale jako stars`' bratr k rnlad.gimu. Kolik je takovYch sini, kde by mladet mela volnou ruku aspon dvakrat v roce? Kolik je radovYch vYbora, kteri by mladym lidem dali Idle do ruky a rekli, "Jclete a bavte se, je to tak vase jako na g e. Za nekolik mkt' bude to apine vase." My svYm vlastnim detem neverime. Deti to citi, cleti to vi, proto (Ceti jdou

Ve stledu, clue 5. listopadu 1952. tvou cestou. A My jen Imrekujeme, "Kam jen ta mladeZ utika?"

Bratr Marek nine Sadal, abych k vam miuvil od srdce. Za to, co yam ted' reknit, moZna mne vyhodite. Dobre Se neni sezona rajskych jablieek a to vajieka jsou draha, i ta star gi vajiCka. Nagi stargi Olenove pled mnoha desitkami let salotili osady. Chteli to mit dle sveho zpfisobu.

Postavili kostel, postavili gkolu. Pak chteli podle stareho evropskeho vzoru hospodu, mistnost pro zabavu. Spojili bratrsky spolek a hospodu dohromady, dle sveho znameho evropskeho vzoru. Na zvali hospodu spolkovou sini. Spojili starY navyk s novYmi pomery. Toto hospodske ovzdtrai z iaa gich sini nevyvetralo. Neni to kritika na gich sini. NeponiSovalo by to nage spolkove mistnosti, kdybychom pamatovali prinesti do nich ten neco novei). Nage sine mely a maji ten slouSiti jako Akoly demokracie, kde se vychovava svobodnY elovek otevrenYch nahledk at' je to mladik 201etY, mut 501etY nebo dedeeek 701etY. Prato jsn-ie do na gich sta• nov vlozili olanek, kterY je tarn 55 rokti, Se v nagich sinich a v na gich schtizich budemC "snatiti se o v geobecne povzbuzeni spolurodakti, jak v mravnim, tak i v dukvnim, a takteS i v blahobytnem ohledu". A abychom to mohli provadeti, mame ye stanovach ten text dne§nilio meho proslovu: "Pravidelne schfize konaji se nejmene jednou za mesic." Nejmene jednou za rnesic mame prijiti do Akoly demlokracie. Vim, to mnohy z nas jsme trochu starYmi, ale pripominam, to g el jsem na universitu, kdyt mi bylo petapadesat, pet yeeera do tYdne, po pet rola'. Jednou za mesic mohli bychom prijit do Skoly spolkove.

Abychom dostali do teto gkoly demokracie take na gi naladeS, potrebovali bychom v hlavni Uradovne, nebo pod dohledem hlavnich firednikti nekoho mladeho, 251eteho, 301eteho, s dobrYm vzdelanim, trochu jako herec, trochu jako zpevak, trochu jako taneenik, trochu jako feenik, kterY by dovedl jiti mezi naS1 middet u katdeho vet giho radu a dati podnet k tomu, aby mladi elenove zaaali se o neco v naaem spolku zajimat. Musel by to bYti mlady Olen, zna,jici slu'ane desky perfektne anglicky, aby svYin vystupovanim mezi mladeti ziskal si jejich naklonnost. TakovY mladik, nebo byl-li by tenatV, takovY parek mladYch lidi by mezi na'Sim mladYmi eleny vykonal stokrat vice net my stall vykoname zde prazdnYm mluvenim.

A to jich mezi sebou nemame? Mohl bych yam jmenovati nekolik, ktere sami znate. Podivejte se kolern sebe po tech, kdo pri gli nazpet z armadni sluSby. Nejeden z nich mel zodpovedne misto dfistojnika nebb velitele. Vratili se clonal, navAtivili radovou schuzi nekolikrat. Dail jste jim zodpovedne misto? .Ustanovili

Proe pik je, 2e jsem dostal par St'ouchnuti, 2e co je se mnou, 2e ji2 nemam dlouho nic ve Vestniku. Ale co psat? 0 torn suchu? Nb, to ji2 jsme zvykli.

V minule schtizi mne toho malo porueili a take proto, 2e nebyla navkivena jak by mela bYt. Jak ka2dY vite, a meli byste vedet, ze prichazi doba kdy se voli rednici na priSti rok. Nekteri ztistanou, nekteti toho maji jiz dost, neb chteji videt jak eleni o nich smysli, jste-li nimi spokojeni. A zase jsou bratri neb sestry, kteti by snad chteli nekterY tirad, neb jsou v torn penize. A 2e to nic nestoji, tak Se prihlaste a eim vie tim lepk, at' mame vYber. Tak nezapomente na druhou nedeli v listopadu jak obyeejne. UkaZte, ze mate take zajem o nas rad a praci spolkovou jak bratri tak sestry.

Take jsme zde men osravu bOleteho zalo2"eni spolku RVOS, ktera se vydarila znamenite. VSe klapalo v to nejlepk shode. Sestry se prioinily o kuchyri, tak 2e i zustalo, a kaZdY byl spokojen. 0 programu psat nebutlu, to bylo uverejneno, jenom jedno, ze toho zpevu mohlo bYt vice. To by se poslouchalo nekolik hodin, 2e? Co vice bylo? No, , vite, kteri jste nebyli, meli jste prijet, to je vase chyba.

JeSte musim trochu zpatky na naSi pc-sled/11 schtizi a to proto, ze se mne nemile dotkla ta tri mall, psanieka, ktera Cetl nas tajemnik. Chcete asi vedet co to bylo, 2e? Bylo to podekovani od pozilstalYch rodin tech bratri, kteri odesli, odkud nevi navratu, za krasne kviti, ktere kaZdemu nas rad poloZil na jeho hrob. Je to pekne od radu, ale jeSte by to bylo bychom jim ta kvitka darovali za Ziva, trochu to lasky k blianimu. Al jsme v hrobe ,to uZ nic nevime. Take bratiri sestry je nyni na nas, abychom pomohli ty mezery zapinit v nakm radu. Zemteli v paru tYdnech tri naS1 spolubratti od du a take dva moji dobri kamaradi od spolku KJT. Poslednim byl Fr. Slovak, bYvalY nas soused. Tak nezbYva nic ji-nSiho ne2 jim prat klidnY veenY spanek.

A piSi, odeSio v kratkem Case pet mladYch muzu, °tea rodin, zde mobil bYt jeSte nekolik let, ale jak jsem psal ne davno a opakuji, dal to velke JA stranou ze je to pravd.a, ze oevia rozmyslet

Kdyt nasta0a, v dobe odpoledni odliv teto sily, je to take spojeno s odlivem sily lidske, at chce dlovek svYch poutiti ku praci telesne nebo duSevni.

Kdyt tak ptitahujete nebo pijete myalenkove tivly netrpelivosti nebo nerozhodnosti nebo strachu, stavate se prave tak neschopni k iispeane praci, jako kdybyste pili lihoviny, nebot', aelcoliv vas to neotupuje a nerozdiluje, abyste poktikovali, ptece jen to ,postupne vase telo znavuje. NahlY des zabiji nekdy telo okamt.ite. Nejistota (ktera je vlastne jinYm jmenem pro strach) zeslabuje svaly a eini, se chveji, ptisobi na taludek, ochromaje nervy a omamuje mysl.

Ale prave tak snadno mateme si Pozvati myalenkou neviditelny element zdiavi a odhodlanosti, jako strachu, element klidne nalady jako hnevu, element rozhodnosti misto nerozhodnosti. Ueinite to pokatcle, kdykoliv si pomyslite nebo • eknete: "Odhodlanost", nebo "rozhodnost", nebo "klidne, nalada." Vlastnosti, k nimt upnete svoji mysl, ptitahujete k sob6. A jste-li bazlivi nebo nerozhodni,

Z poeatku nepocitite po tomto prostem cvideni vzrnst sve odhodlanosti, rozhod nosti nebo dobre nalady. Ale poznate jej, za eas a tally.

Kdyt jste to ueinili, spojili jste se s proudem myalenek netrpelivYch a spechalicich. Spech a netrpelivost vedou totia prave tak jiste k mrzutosti, podratclenosti a neklidu, jako teka teee do mote.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR IT WAS A PRIVILEGE that your editor could attend two very interesting; meetings recently. One was a district meeting in the hall of Vesmernest Lodge Na. 68 in Nelsonville on Sunday, October 26. District No, One, comprising eight counties and thirty-five local lodges, held its first meeting there. By a roll call it was found out that 74 delegates from 17 visiting lodges came to the meeting, not counting a large number of local members.

THE MEETING WAS called for the purpose of electing officers , of the district, deciding about the frequency of future meetings, selecting a place for the next district meeting, and laying groundwork for future expanding activity within the district. Brother Alfred Stepan, of Lodge No. 33, was elected president of the district. Brother Ladgie Blazek, a member of Lodge 68, was voted in as vice-president. The secretarial duties were placed in the hands of Brother P. P. Baron, secretary of Lodge No. 1. A five-member prCgramming committee is to be appointed by president and vice-president to work out plans for a meeting to be held in the Kovar comumnity, near Smithville, at a date selected by the officers. The district meetings are to be held twice 'a year. The Supreme Lodge will see to it that every lodge and every officer in District One will be notified and invited to the next meeting.

• THE OTHER INTERESTING EVENT was held in Dallas on Monday evening, October 27. Dallas Fraternal Council held its third quarterly session with a program and a joyous get-together. By way of explanation, we have three fraternal councils in Texas: Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston, There is some talk about having one in San Antonio, and plans have already been made to form a fraternal council there, but very little has been heard from San Antonio. The Fraternal Council of Dallas has twelve fraternal benefit societies participating.

This time, the meeting and the program was held in the hall of Pokrok Dallas Lodge No, 84, with Jaro Lodge No. 130

The duties of a presiding officer are many and varied. His work is not done with a gavel. Nor is the gavel the only article placed in his hands, He serves his local lodge in many aspects. He needs some coaching, sometimes plenty of coaching. to make him what he should be. So that is• another matter to be taken up at the district meetings. • • THE LODGE SYSTEM means also the way of accepting new members. We call it initiation. The law calls it "ritualistic form of work". The ritual has remain as the heart of the lodge work through all the years,. of the history of fraternalism.

The symbolism, the mystery, the imagery of the ritual capture the imaginations of the members, and add to the impressiveness of initiation. Has thiS feature ever been discussed either among the officers of the lodges or with the supreme officers? Shouldn't there be some instructions to be offered in ritualism for president and initiating 'officers?

While a great deal has been said about what the members should do for the lodge — the payment of dues, attending the meetings, serving on various committees, and helping each other — there are alsO things that the lodge should do for its members; and a few things which the lodge should do for the community in which it operates. The district meetings , should be a forum where the aims of the SPJST could be fully discussed, plans formulated, and methods to carry out the plans adopted.

PATRIOTISM AND Today as a free man of a great Democratic nation I am addressing you as free men and women in a land of freedom. In many countries in the world at this moment such an experience w o u 1 d be impossible. Among the countries where a meeting, such as you have here today, would be imspossible is the country from where many of our members and forefathers came from, that is, Czechoslovakia.

As free men and women we must recognize we faCe a grave danger. We in America today face a danger from within our own country just as treacherous and as serious as that represented by the Kremlin. The danger from within is a specter of Big Government and creeping socialism which theatens to deour American way of life.

Our system of economics and government and our social order are based upon the Christian concept of the imaortance of the individual. It is founded en the idea that man is created in the L ,.age of God and that the soul of each individual is so important that God's own Son gave his life to redeem that Soul.

'Phis religious concept was in the minds- of the Fathers of our country when they wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and founded our Federal Government. The Declaration proclaims: "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that aong these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

If read the Bill of Rights we find that there is guaranteed to all the -people freedom of religion, speech, the press and of assembly, and other rights such o_oL taking private property for public use without just compensation, right of trial by jury, etc. These are safeguards which place definite limitation upon the powers of Government.

Within the past fifteen years or more we have seen in the United States many :aucratic enchroachments upon our rights as set forth in our Bill of Rights whielt I have just mentioned.

I would like to cite you a few examples of the Freedoms that we have lost within the past 15 or 20 years: 1. You have lost the right to spend or save a large part (average 32%) of your earning collected as taxes by the federal, state and local governments,

VtITNIK WEST, TEXAS

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY Dr. Karel Hujer, a well-known astronomer connected with the University of Chattanooga, who had lectured here in Texas several times, forwarded to your editor a letter received from Berlin, Germany. This letter reveals the desperate fight of 182 Czechs and 18 Slovaks living in Berlin. Read the letter and then see if you could not find some old clothing to be sent to these people. There are 34 children in this group. The letter reads as follows: Dear brother: Thank you for your letter of July 16, contents of which pleased us very much, and proved that in this difficult time there are still friends who are willing to offer their relping hands.

Concerning your inquiry, we inform you'that in Berlin at this time there are 200 Czech political refugees, of which 80 are unmarried (17 women, 63 men), 19 families without children and 26 families with children. The total number of Czech refugee children is 34. For your information, I am enclosing a list of all Czechoslovak political refugees, 182 Czechs and 18 Slovaks.

Regarding our Association, we are a self-supporting organization doing social work, non-political, and absolutely independent of all political parties and groups. We bring together all Czech and Slovak political refugees. Our Association was founded with no financial help whatsoever, only by the sacrificing labor of its functionaries, who realized the ne-j cessity of creating in Berlin a legal refugee organization to protect the interest of refugees. Our Association is the only organization of refugees from behind the Iron Curtain in this city, which protects the interest of refugees from Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Rumania and Yugoslavia besides Czechoslovakia. We take care of decent rooming for refugees, of their feeding, their emmigration affairs, and of their speedy departure from Berlin into Western Germany. An increasing number of refugees accumulating in Western Berlin would cause a tightening of security regulations by Communist administrators in order to prevent such illegal escapes from entering into West Berlin.

Our organization opened its office and discharges all agenda of the refugees from their arrival until their emigration or eventual flight into Western Germany. This is made possible by the fact that functionaries are serving daily from morning until evening without any remunaration whatsover.

The worst situation in Berlin concers

the lack of food, clothing and shoes. In this connection, the sacrificing labor of local functionaries is insufficient and we must turn to the free world with plead: ings for help, which, alas, meets with little understanding and even smaller response. Refugees in Berlin walk in rags, and it is common knowledge that in order to make necessary official appear! ance, refugees must borrow from each ' other, this or that piece of clothing. Still worse is the situation of refugees concerning food. At the last official medical examination, it was ascertained that of the 200 refugees, 40 are seriously affected

by TB, with 18 cases of other serious afflictions, which have their roots in entirely insufficient and under-nourishing food. The worst tragedy in this case is that this misery of Czechoslovak refugees has been noted by Communist propaganda, which repeatedly spreads both in the newspapers and over the radio how West mistreats the refugees and refuses them all help.

To this we must add that the City of Berlin affirms that it has no means to support the refugees and that Berlin itself has 500,000 unemployed, and directs us to Americans and their Allies for assistance. We also encounter some unfavorable attitude produced by the antiCzech propaganda of Sudeten Germans.

What to do? Concretely, it would be possible to help the refugees in West Berlin as follows: It would be very urgent to help the refugees without delay with clothing, shoes and especially by improving their food As stated above, the food situation is worst, and it is unconditionally necessary that our refugees obtain this food at the earliest possible time in order to prevent the spread of further social diseases, particularly TB. This will provide the foundation for further restoration.

We beg of you, dear friend, to inform of the suffering and misery of refugees in Berlin, who, far from their homeland, struggle for the better Christian future, • and thus may stimulate and encourage collections of clothing and shoes for the above mentioned refugees.- Above all, it will be necessary to make a collection of food for the refugees in Berlin, in Which case CARE package action would be the most effective for their delivery is easiest because of the fact that CARE depot is located right in Berlin -Steglitz.

A great many sick refugees in Berlin could be helped if they might have possibilities of obtaining medicine, especially if they could buy medicine which they cannot obtain from the German Health

Bureaus. This however, would require financial help.

We thank you for the greetings to our refugees, which we have delivered. We thank you again for your interest in us, the poorest ones. May God bless you for your effort to help us Czechoslovak refugees.

During my first month in the life insurance business I sold a small policy to a very prosperous man. He was in business for himself and all of his equipment was fully paid for. He told me why he had been so' fortunate: As a young man he had been persuaded to buy $5,000 of endowment insurance, and he had made his mother the beneficiary. A few years later, at the first sign of hard times, he told his mother he couldn't pay any more premiums and that she could turn in the policy for whatever she could get.

His mother was a widow and from time to time she borrowed small sums of money from him. He was always glad to help her, and was somewhat amused at her insistence that these were to be considered loans, to be repaid in full..

Some years later he went home for a short visit, and his mother said to him, "Son, here is your life insurance policy which you left with me when you decided you couldn't pay any more premiums. I couldn't persuade you then that You should keep it, so I began borrowing small sums from you and if you will look back through your checks you will find that I borrowed just enough each year to pay the premiums. Together we have matured the policy and I am sure that you will know how to use this $5000 wisely."

And that is how he got tho money with which to finance his business!

What I Didn't Know About Thanksgiving Your editor would like to loan you an nrraful cf books. One of them is called ' "The Book of Festivals". Another is mined -"Customs of Mankind". Still another has a title "Two Bybylons". The fourth one is "Thanksgiving". Then there is a book named "Saints and Strangers", and another "The Year's Festivals". That armful of books may keep you busy till November 27, 1952', the Thanksgiving Day. At least, you would learn something about.' social habits and practices, an amusing course in sociology. The books )howed me what I didn't know about Thanksgiving.

It was my impression that Thanksgiving :Pity was strictly an American holiday.

Back in the gran-Ian-days I learned that I he first Thanksgiving was celebrated by he Pilgrims in 1621. As recently as a ear ago, I wrote hi the Vestnik that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated with religious pomp, hospitality, gaiety, and some sensible merrymaking. I always consicic rod turkey dinners, cranberry sauce and mince or pumpkin pies as symbols of the first Thanksgiving celebration. I am ready to admit that my history lessons Mitst have been slightly neglected.

With all due respect to my former belief or your belief, Thanksgiving did not originate in America. The first Thanksgiving festival in North America was not in 1621. The celebration of the Pilgrims of 1621 . was not decorated with turkeys, a ad tbe group of Indians were not wel nie guests sitting around as pictured on numerous paintings. There were little hospitality, little merrymaking, little turkey, if any at all, no cranberry sauce, no pumpkin pies, no mince pie: It is just a le g end, like the one about Paul Revere reaching Concord, just a popular story coming down from the past.

Although it is true that the holiday, as Americans celebrate -it, has its roots in New England, the idea of selecting a certain time each year to give thanks for the harvest is not new. It stretches across the centuries from the times the ancient Babylonians worshipped their god of harvest. In the books which I mentioned at the beginning of this article, one can trace thanksgiving festivals through an-1 cient Rome, Greece, India, China and Japan.

For' instance, in China, on the fifeenth day of the eight moon (counting from the first new moon in the latter part of January or the first part of February), the peasants marked the end of harvest with a moon festival, most joyous occasion of the year. The moon, thought, 10 be the god of crops and har-

vest, was honored with special roundshaped foods. The children stayed up late on that night to see the beautiful floweres that were supposed to fall from the moon, bringing good fortune to all.

The Japanese celebrated two harvest festivals, one in October, the other in November. There is a long description of the two Japanese festivals in "The Book of Festivals" by D. G. Spicer. Both emperor and his subjects took part in these national harvest festivals.

In the book "Customs of Mankind", by Eichler, we learn that the Siamese have an old festival which is known as the "Swing Festival". The purpose of the celebration is the same as that of Thanksgiving, that is "to show gratitude for the richness of the land and the happiness of the people". However, the Si- ! amese have their own way to shoW that they are thankful, because they have to use the much-quoted sacred white e e-1 phant of Siam to take the leading part! in the celebration.

Throughout. India, they celebrate "Di-1 wali" as a kind of harvest festival. It is marked by feasting and family reunions when the houses are gaily illuminated with myriads Of small lamps. Very good account of the "Diwali", Thanksgiving of India, is given in "The Book of Festivals", by Spicer, and also in Hislcp's, "Two Babylons", page 159.

The ancient Greeks also had a feast day of thanksgiviing. Nine day were set aside in honor of Demeter, goddess of cornfields and harvests. In Athens, it was celebrated in November by married women only. "Two wealthy and distinguished ladies were chosen to perform the sacred function in the • name of. the others and to prepare the sacred meal,' which corresponded to our Thanksgiving!

On the fist y of the feast, great mirth and rejoicing, the women went in procession to the promontory of Cohas and celebrated their Thanksgiving for three days in the temple of Demeter. On their return a festival occured for three days in Athens, sad at first but gradually growing into an orgy of mirth and dancing. Here a cow and a sow were offered to Demeter, besides fruit and honeycombs. The symbols of the fruitful) goddess were pdppies and ears of corn, a basket of fruit and a little pig." — Thanksgiving, by R. (IA Schauffler.

Among the harvest deities was the one worshiped by the Romans, the goddess Ceres. The thanksgiving festival was called Cerelia, and occured yearly on October 4. The pagan Romans and Greclans worshiped Ceres as the "mother of

Corn". She is pictured in ancient Greece as the Great Mother, with the babe at her breast or sometimes holding a handful of wheat.

In Germany, Belgium and other countries Martinsfest was a double festival, which honored both "Saint" Martin and Martin Luther. The celebration orginated as an early thanksgiving festival in honor of Freya, goddess of plenty, who was supposed to have guarded the harvests of the ancient Germans. During the celebration there were processions, bonfires, and general merrymaking. Also, the boys and girls were given apples and nuts.

Colorful harvest festivals were held by the medieval English who believed a "corm spirit" reigned over the fields, and their paganistic rites were directed at "placating and gratifying this god of harvest". In England the autumn festiVal was called Harvest Home. This festival, according to H. A. Patten, "was celebrated with many rude and boisterous proceedings . The day was spent in dancing on the village green, with rural sports, while at night great blazing bonfires were built, and great quantitieS of home -brewed ale were drank." The spirit of giving thanks became an excuse for loafers, who would rather eat and play than work. At harvesttime, especially, "the feast-days and saints' days were so numerous that the idlers neglected the very crops for which they were 'so anxious to be thankful, "in not taking the opportunity of good and serene weather offered upon the same, in time of harvest'." In fact, the religious and civil thanksgiving days had increased to such an extent that there were very few left for working days. During the Commonwealth under Cromwell, there were observed, in one year, more than a hundred feast days. Except for King Edward's reign, no one was allowed to work on such days, and those who did were fined.

The day began with "a long religious service in the morning, a fast till four o'clock, then a public feast". However, the religious services were soon shortened or omitted altogether. The entire day was set aside for games and sports. Riotous celebrations were held, not only on the harvest thanksgiving days, but "the Sabbath, saints' days, fast and feast days, were equally times of recreation".

Latimer, who went on one of these "holy days" to a certain church to preach, found "the village deserted, the church locked, and the people all gone a-may(Continued on page 23.)

This is what the English Puritans frowned upon. In fact, these and other offensive practices became so intolerable to the Puritan mind that they went to Holland in' disgust of English "holy days'''.

In Holland, over a period of ten years, they grew accustomed to Dutch fast and feast 'days, which they felt Were more fitted to the occasion; mainly because the poor were allowed - to feast with their more favored neighbors".

Upon coming to the North American shores, the Pilgrims celebrated their first thanksgiving in Newfoundland, in the year 1578. A similar service was held by the Popham colony, who settled at Sagadahoc on the .Maine coast, in 1607. Because the celebration at Plymouth is so familiar it is considered to be the first Thanksgiving. According to many writers, Much of that festival is not history but legend: Robert Butterfield, in his article "What You Don't KnoW' About Thanksgiving", which-appeared in the Saturday Evening. Post, for November 27, 1948, states: "Historians can prove that the Pilgrims played outdoor games: and even did acrobatic tricks with swords at the first. Thanksgiving celebration; in 1621.

But they did not eat pumpkin pie; or turkey either. The first.. thanksgiving feast, though big and ,hearty, would look strange on.. American tables today. The principal dishes were boiled eels and YenisOn. .There were also ducks and, other waterfowl, clams and mussels, corn bread and leeks. and plums, all washed down with strong, sweet wine made from the native. grapes."

In his . book Saints. and Strangers, George F. Willison. declared that "at the first Thanksgiving feast in New England the company may have enjoyed, though there is no mention of it in the record, some of the long-legged "Turkies", . . .

And.there were cranberries by the bushel. in neighboring bogs. It is very doubtful, however, if . the . Pilgrims had yet contrived a happy use for them. Nor was the table graced with a later and even more felicitous invention — "pumpkin pie."

Neither is there any mention of the mince pie.

The Indians, who attended the feast were not patiently squatting, as usually portrayed in the first Thanksgiving pictures. Instead, "except for the mighty chief Massasoit, with whom the small band of 104 Pilgrims had shrewdly contracted a non-aggression pact, the 90 braves who whooped down on the harvest icstival were both uninvited and unwel-

come until they out and bagged their own venison," said Life magazine, November 26, 1945. That which attracted the ninety braves to the feast was more than the venison, of which they had plenty. The strong Indian braves loved the "confortable warm water", that is, Holland gin, which the Pilgrims praised as "very sweete & strong". Many deny this festival to be the first Thanksgiving. because "there is no record of any special devotional or . spiritual observance, or solemn airs during this week of eating and drinking."

Two years dater, in . 1623, Governor Bradford proclaimed a day of fasting and prayer in the midst of summer drouth.

By the coming of rain during the prayers, the next day was changed into thanksgiving. But is was not until almost fifty years 'later that the residents of Plymouth - Celebrated another autumnal Thanksgiving. In the meantime, the idea of thanksgiving had taken strong hold in the neighboring Puritan colony of the Massachusetts Bay. There the first public Thanksgiving took place on July 8, 1630, but it had nothing to do with harvest, or turkeys, or any kind of feasting.

The Puritans gave thanks for • kinds of events, for "Protestant victories in the war" (Thirty years' war at the time), for their triumphs over Indians, and in 1689 for the accession of William and Mary in England. In the last three hundred years Thanksgiving Day has been held in at least eight different months by proclamation of the Governors or at the "request and suggestion of the President."

Abraham Lincoln issued (1863) a Presidential proclamation fixing Thanksgiving day as a holiday on the fourth or last Thursday in November. In 1939, 1940 and 1941 observance was divided, when president Roosevelt proclaimed the preceding Thursday for observance. On. December 26, 1941, he approved House Joint Resolution 41: "Resolved by the Senate and .States' of America in Congress assembled, House of Representatives of the United That the fourth Thursday of November in each year after the year 1941 be known as Thanksgiving Day, and it is hereby made a legal public holidy to all intents and purposes." ) • 4,• Someone has said that thirty is the proper age for a woman.

Due to the generosity and thoughfulness of our many lady friends, there was food aplenty. To each and every one of you ladies we wish to extend our most sincere thanks. Someone made the remark, "Why this is like a wedding, not just a shower!" Well, take it from us, you ladies that brought cakes, kolaee, sandwiches and other goodies certainly made it so.

That table (or rather tables) loaded with beautifud gifts was a sight, to behold. Our little bride was certainly happy and impressed with such wonderful and useful gifts, and it surely will be fun to start housekeeping with them.

Again many thanks everyone.

KEEP OUR TEEN-AGERS IN SCHOOL American high schools have a shock-, ing "casualty" rate. Before reaching thei1 senior year, more than five out of every ten youngsters in the United States quit high school — bored, disillusioned and confused. Each year; ' at least 1,000,000 boys and girls surrender their birthright to education.

Their reasons? High school, seems meaningless to them, a million miles removed from the vital problems - that plague adolescent minds: how to prepare for a job, how to keep peace with their families, how to be popular.

We pay for this educational failure in terms of thousands of frustrated and bewildered young men and women, drifting through life without purpose. In our present emergency, such failure is even more costly.

But America's educators are not re-' signed to failure. In many parts of the country, they are enlisting in a bold new project that promises to slash these "casualty" rates. The plan is called "Life Adjustment Education," and in many communities it has already produced heartening results.

In St. Paul, Minnesota, one pioneering Life Adjustment• school graduated 82 per cent of its class last year — more than double the national average. On Chicago's squalid West Side, school drop-outs and juvenile deliquency figures have been cut in half. And in Wilmington, Delaware, a Life Adjustment school has' been losing only three per cent of its students.

What is Life Adjustment Education? it is not a cut-and-dried educational blueprint. Instead, it is a warm, understanding approach . to the problems of our 20,000,000 teen-agers. The teaching method has been revolutionized. Life Adjustment is baSed on learning-by-doing.

As a result, students hold part-time jobs that tie in closely with their classroom work.

In Moline, 'Monis, parents and adolescent children are asked blunt questions about home duties, disagreements, money problems. On the basis of their answers, courses in family life are organized.

At Forest Park High School in Baltimore, students are sent out to -shop in retail stores. They compare prices and quality, discuss labels, carefully examine advertising slogans and claims. In Cincinnati, teen-age boys eagerly learn how to buy automobiles, file tax forms and finance homes. Du Pont High School in Wilmington, Delaware, has a course in helicopter flying.

Here's how the principal of a - high school in White Salmon, Washington,

(By Robert Stein) describes his school's Life Adjustment project: "We're giving these kids an interesting program of learning experiences — teaching them how to get along with one another, preparing them to get and hold jobs, and helping them adjust to social and economic problems. We're making real progress."

Most important of all, Life Adjustment looks upon each student as an individual, rather than a statistic. From childhood, Frank W— slowed a remarkable talent for tinkering with mechanical objects.

He was a brilliant student in science classes, but only barely above passing level in English and history. Discouraged by his near-failure in these courses, he decided to quit school and go to work in his father's garage.

"They can't teach me anything about mechanics," he told his parents.

But Frank's school had just instituted a new Life Adjustment course in 'Carter Exploring." A sympathetic teacher patiently explained the value of nontutoring in these subjects. Frank stayed on. Today, he is getting his • engineering degree.

But three out of every five students have no plans for entering college or training for a skilled occupation. Here again, Life Adjustment has a workable answer. With the guidance of vocational counselors, boys and girls are given parttime jobs for school credit — and a salary. They work in department stores, filling stations, drug stores, offices, beauty shops, factories. In the classroom, skilled teachers underscore the lessons learned on the job.

"High school used to seem like a waste of time," a 16-year-old girl said recently.

"I'm not going to be a career woman.

I'm only planning to work until I get married. What good are algebra, French and chemistry to me?"

Now, since her school switched to Life science courses and arranged for extra Adjustment, this girl is working 15 hours a week, selling cosmetics in a local department store. In class, she's learning techniques that will help her succeed on the job. At the same time, she's acquiring skills that will be usefull when she marries: how to manage money, plan household routine, train children.

Getting high school to "make sense" is the challenge Life Adjustment has taken up. It all started at the closing session of an educational conference in Washington, D. C. in the summer of 1945. The challenge was put forward dramatically

by Dr. Charles A. Prosser, then director

of the Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis.

"We prepare 20 per cent of our high school students to enter college/' he said. "Another 20 per cent are trained ,for skilled occupations. But what are we doing for the neglected 60 per cent who won't go to college or hold skilled jobs?"

Dr. Prosser's challenge brought quick results. With the backing of the U. S. Office of Education, a group of leading educators formed the "Commission on Life Adjustment Education for Youth.''

Within a few months, regional conferences were held, plans drawn up, experimental programs put into action.

Today, 20 states are working with the Commission to provide useful educate& for all students, including the neglected 60 per cent. More than 2,500 high schools have enrolled under the Life Adjustment banner. New, exciting course titles are mushrooming in these Life Adjustment schools: Managing My Personal Affairs, Choosing a Mate, Home Mechanics and Repair, how to Get a Job, Understanding the News, Personal Finance, Personality Development.

The work of the Life Adjustment Commission is a perfect example of teamwork by government and private enter-, prise right down the line. The U.,§. Of fice of Education supplies the educatir onal experts; private agencies, like the Sears, Roebuck Foundation and the American Technical Society provide fends and industrial know-how. Merchants and Manufacturers help school officials dovetail on-the-job experience with classroom work.

Life Adjustment plans, for the ueRcls 0 all youngsters. Formerly, low-IQ stpdept4 „ were left to struggle along as best they could. Most of them would fall hopelessr ly behind in their studied, eventuay drop out of school, ta drift airnle§sly.

Today, Life Adjustment makes Apesi plans for such students. In Schenectady, New York, a special class was set pp, pzy 25 youngsters incapable of keeping n9, -mal classroom pace. They were given,fa. careful tailored program, with eropha,sA8 on shop work, home making and physiesil education. They all earned diplomas„ and an open door to useful jobs.

But even average youngsters need carer ful vocational guidance. To help perplexed youngsters to select one of 22,890 vocations of their own, Life Adjustment offers them a chance to try their hand at various jobs. Then, with the ,aid, of skilled advisers, they are prepared to make a sound choice of a lifetime cal'011.

LIVING OVER 100 YEARS People have always been interested in life, expectancy, the life span of man.

Can a man live much longer than one hundred years? If he does, what is the longest record?

Almost all cases of great age in, human beings are based upon hearsay rather than upon registered birth records. Indeed, hundreds of years have passed since some of the most famous "rocord holders" lived. Some of the most frequently cited ancients include Henry Jenkins (169 years), Thomas Parr (152), herine, Countess of Desmond (140), and christen Drakenburg (146).

In a recent book written by statisticiam of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the reported age of Christen Drakenburg is the only one taken at all seriously. Ttie records of this individual are thought to be reasonably reliable, although it must be admitted that even these may be incorrect. Drakenburg; a Dane, was said to. have lived from 1626 to 1112.. or 146 years.

Cettain other investigators, however, do not recognize the claim of the Danes that this countryman of theirs should be extended the victory wreath for having outlived all other modern human Methuseialis. Dr. Maurice Ernest, English biologist who has investigated the question of human longevity, would award the prize to a Canadian, one Pierre Joubert, whose record is more modpst. This man, born in Quebec County in 1701, is thought to have lived more than 113 years.

Coming• to more recent times, we find that in 1945 an African native died in Johannesburg who was alleged to have been 130 years old: According to newspaper reports, several investigations of this matter were conducted, and although the investigating agencies did not agree as to the native's exact age, all weave convinced that he was over 120 ears old several years before his death.

The. year 1950, like other census years, has produced its quota of stories about t g ed individuals. The oldest claim noted so far by the writer has been made by a man living in Brownsville, Texas. He is stated to have told the census taker that he was 128 years old, and this approximal e age was supported by his relatives.

This age has not, so far as I know, been confirmed by official records.

It is rather obvious that it is not possible to state positively the extreme age 10 .which human beings may live. It is certain, however, that it is well past the century mark. More exact figures are available regarding the average length

Chvili jsem ani nic kolem sebe nepozorovala, elovek mysli, to je panem sveta, ale v takovemhle ptipade neni. Ptivezli jsme si z tarn odtud vzacnou parnatku. Par mil, netli se dojede k onomu Crater Lake, jsou jegte k nalezeni kousky zkamenele levy ' z one sopky. Na zpateeni ceste zastavili jsme v onech rnistech a za pomoci br. Elznera jsme par kouski toho kamene nasli. Jeden jsem si nechala, ostatek rozdala co "souvenirs".

Je divno, to o tomto tak vYznamnem miste je tak mai° sly get, zde se, to ka,tclY jede jen do Kalifornie, cot chybuje. Jsou mista ye statu• Oregonu, • co se tYee mne, krome Victoria, B. C. tadne jive misto se nevyrovna.. Z ylagt,' to mirne podnebi a distY, vonny z borovYch lesa vzduch se dobke dYcha a dobie se spi.

Toho dne, jab jsme ptijeli z Crater Lake, na veeer jsme jell k rodine p .a pi.

Ivan Taylor, dcera to br. a pi. ElznerovYch. Maji krasnY novY dim v peknem sousedstvi v meste Malin. Meli jsme brasnY veeirek.

Ve stiedu zase br. a pi. Elzner ukazali nam kousek krasneho sveta. Vzali nas do Ashland a Talent, 90 mil na zapad od Malin. Asi 20 mil od Mahn vgude zavodriovand titrodna Nejvice videt obili, jetel a clobytek, a pak zase jsme pkijeli

do vysokYch hor s krasnYmi lesy, divokymi kvetinami a kapradim.

Asi 20 mil netli jsme pkijeli do Ashland, zastavili jsme se v jednom miste, kde bylo hodne divokYch kvetin. Kedvika se aajimala o kvetiny, ja zase jsem chtela mechem obrostloti vetvieku z boroveho stromu. Pro mne byly vgechny moc vysoko, ja tadnou nedostala jakou jsem chtela, zato Hevika mela kviti pine ruce, cot si pochvalovala, jak jsme , se sesly zpatky u kary. Ja jsem ji na to odpovedela, "At to polka nejaka koza, media ti z toho zbude." A take se stalo, jen'te to nebyla koza, byl to jelen. Ptijeda do Ashland, zajeli jsme do parku, kde maji zoo, ptigli jsme k ohrade, kde maji jeleny, ptibehl jeden jelen, streil hlav z pies drat a chmatl Hedvice tu kytici, z ktere ji malo zbylo.

Pak jsem litovala, to se to moje promoctvi spinilo, neb Hedvika si chtela tu: kytici uschovat. Talc se tika, katclY Spas now stoji, ale to ,byl podateny Spas.

Z Ashland jsme jeli do Talent k iodine p. a pi. LunalcovYch. Miti misto na bydleni jako oni, tak by mohl bYt katdY spokojen. Jejich farina se naleza asi v pill vYgce tahle s hory, kde dole je asi 2 mile adoli a zase tahla, hora, same sady a zahrady, a tohle z jejich domu je vae pane videt. Nepotiebuji tadne malovane obrazy, maji obrazy s celou pkirodni krasou pied oeima stile.

Pi. Lunalcova, ktera pochazi z Angleton, Texas, nas poeastovala chutnYmi rajeaty, snad z toho okoli maji bYt nejchutnej gi rajeata y e Spoj. Statech, sklenici zavatenYch merunek mne darovala, ktere jinak chutnaly jak co zde koupime.

Po dobre svaeine, ac neradi, to ten eas tak rychle betel, my museli zase zpatky do Malin, neb druhY den Hedvika a is jsme se rnely vydat na cestu do Portland, Ore. Nerady jsme rodinu ElznerovYch opouhonem gtely. Ty ety •i dny nam tak utekly pki loin besedovani, vyjitcl'kach vzpominani za glYch Casa.

Slibila, jsem pi. Elznerove tak na polovie, az zase piajedu do Kalifornia, tie ptijedu k nim na del g i eas. Kdyby mne to bylo motne, nedbala bych ten slib splnit, neb se mne tam moc libilo.

Ve etvrtek pied polednem nas br .a pi.

Elzner zavezli do Klamath Falls.

Piaui v g ech nas je, to tohle neni poslecine co jsme se tak se gli. S ptateli ElznerovYmi jsme se rozloutili, a o 11. hodinach jsme sedali na vlak, kterY nas unitgel do Portland, Oregon.
