NOV! CREDNiC17-- HOVE MYSLENKY DY2 NABARVITE vrabci hlavieku na eerveno, bud'te jisti, to ostatni vrabci ho ogkubou a ug tipou. To tit neni vrabec jako oni.

Stala se nil prihoda, kdy jsem zapomnel bYti vrabcem mezi vrabci. Provedl jsem to bezmy g lenkovite. Stark, dobrY a poctive se snatici tadovy or[r.anisator se podekoval ze sve funkce. Byla otazka, kdo se najde na jeho misto. Byl jsem navStevnikem a pozoroval jsem, jakYm zptisobem radovi bratti snatili se vytegiti sy tij problem. Koneene pri glo St'astne rozuzleni. Syn stareho odstupujiciho organisatora dobrovolne se ptihlasil ptevziti otcovo misto.

Bylo to ptimo idealni rozlu g teni. Otec ustupoval, vzdaval se sve price, a syn se nabidnul, Fe povinnosti otcovy prevezme sam. Vyhlaelo to spravne, vznegene, klasicke. Pod dojniem spokojenosti, ze . vec byla tak St'astne a rozumne vyte gena, vstal jsem a poclavdlil jsem je v gcchny. Tu gim jsem tekl neco v tom smyslu, ze by prospelo na gi ode Jednote, kdyby takovY presun zodpovednosti mohl se opakovati u 150 jinYch Hulti SPJST, aby se synove dobrovolne prihlasili k praci, kde otcova ruka umdleva.

Tim jsem se stal, sam gedesatnik, od• lignY od jinSrch gedesatniku. 42 jsem to tekl, poznal jsem, ze jsem jako vrabee s Oerverrou hlaviekou. Vetejne minein je kruta mot. Dokucl myslime, jak mysli jini Tide, a dokud naluvime, jak mluvr jini Tide, nenaame neprijernnosti.

Lee nemriteme se libiti, kdyt jsme jini. mi, piing jinymi.

Loni pied vYrcenimi schrizemi psal jsem, ze v tadech meli by bYti zameneni tadovi Utednici. Neminil jsem tim, aby odstraneni byli stall einovnici. Mel jsem na mysli zamenu, aby se elenoye v Utadech a vYborech vysttidali. Pozdeji sly gel jsem, ze dlutime mnoho nagim starYm pracovnikum, a ,ze mel jsem spige vybidnouti, aby jim, poctivYm tahounum, byla vyslovena drivera, pochvala, aby byli znovu do s y Y.ch &aria zvoleni.

Nejvet ini nevi:lidera pokroku je sc-

trvaenost a ndvyk. Navykli jsme si na jistY zptisob snolkoveho vedeni, a ne a ne abychom se s naVyklYm zptisobem rozloueili. My jsme si meli ut davno zavesti do na gich rnistnich spolkil demokraticke vedeni. To znamena tamenu Utednikti, aby schopnosti katcleho Mena mohly bYti vyzkou geny. 2adny- Arad nemel by bYti dotivotni, ponevadt katclY 'den je nahraditelnY. aim vet§i rad, tim :2...adoucnej gi je zmena ittednikii a elenii na vYborech. Demokraticka ptedstava fizeni jakehokoliv spolku nebo telesa znamena vYmena vedoucich.

NovY , Utednik znamena nove myglenky.

Dejme tomu, ze jit pied mnoha lety bychom meli ye stanovach elanek, ze vgechny tadove vYbory sestavaji z 'dent, z nicht jedna ttetina slouzi jeden rok, druha ttetina dva roky a tteti ttetina tri roky. Losovanim by se rozlaodlo, kdo jak dlouho bude sloutiti na nove ustanovenem stalely). vYboru. Tinato zprisobein byl by, prikladne, devitielenny majetkovY vYbor sestaven ze tki.novYch 'lent, tri elenti siou2icich druhou lhiltu a OH derail slouticich posledni lhutu. Katdeho roku zaueovani by byli tti novi elenove do prate vYborove.

Predstavrne si dale, ze kdysi, kdyt byly formovany na ge . stanovy, byl by do stanov vloten 'elanek asi tohoto znern: trednici mistniho radu se voli jednou roene ye vYrooni schtizi. Do irtadu fleetniho mute bYti zvolen Olen na tri za setou jdouci llatity, do Uradu tajemnika na dve za sebou jdouci llanty, do zbY vancich ritadill se von novi Utednici v katcle v katcle vYroeni schazi. Ptedstavme si, co by to znamenalo. Katdeho roku musel by bYti volen navY.ptedseda, novi mistoptedseda, novi pOkladnik, novi prtivodei, a jedna, ttetina v gech ivYborri.

Nejvetgim nepritelem pokroku je setryaenost. Dnes o tadny firad se nikdo nezajima, a to ze dvou Start' friednik drtel a •ad jit mnoho rokti, proto FadnY proti nernu nebudc vyStupovat, 2adnY nebude s rim koakurovat. Doma tena,

hrozi, "Tato, neopovatuj se, abys ten Mad znovu Ve schuzi elenove namitaji, "Mel jsi to jit deset, dvacet rotak to jest' vezmi. Vidi g , ze tadnY jinY to nechce. Kdyby lads to bylo aspon trochu vice, abychom si vybrali. Nechame to pti starem, jednohlasne, aklamadne."

Kdybychorn si jit da yno navykli, Fe volba vetg iny radovYch Utednikti je nucend„ ze nennite se znovu a znovu uvalovati povinnost na jedny a tytet eleny, spolkovY tivot by docela jinak vypadal. Pled vYroeni volbou mysl elenit by se obirala otazkou, "Tak koho si vybereme? Nynej gimu Utedniku vyprgi Vyvinul by se vet gi zajem a do schitze by prigli mnozi jen proto, ze chteli by dosaditi jednoho ze syYch pratel do nektereho Utaclu.

Tak by se rok od roku prase novYch firednikii porovhavala s praci ptedchazejici. Byla by bud 'pochvala nebo byla by nadeje, to rok uz brzy ukonei a novi Uteclnik zaujme misto. Byl by zajem, byla by kritika, bylo by vice planovani na moray a zlepgeni. Byl by ustavienY proud ye spelkovem jednani.

Dries toho proudu nemame. Dnes spolkovY tivot stoji jako de gt'ova voda v prikopu. Dnes misto 'ustavieneho proudu mime toliku kalute. A tato stojata, voda je zavinena ponejvice tim, to na ge stanovy nam natizuji a na ge domaci pra,vidla jsme si tak neupravili, abychom sve radove atedniky easteji net je menime.

Katcleho z nas te gi, kdyt dostanerne uznani. Je to chloubou bYti Utednikem dvacet, tficet, etyticet roku. Jen& spolku jsme prospegni jen potud, pokud se udime novYm vecem. To pravidlo vedi velike korporace, ktere nenechaji jednotlivce dlcuho v jedne funkci. To vedi kostely, gkoly a university, ktere ustavcene vyrneriuji sve kneze, kazatele, ueitele profesory.

V MEXIKU Jak byla prohlidka hotova, volalo ra-1 dio, ted' 112 anglicky: "Nastupovat do I aeroplanu." Zaujali jsme zase svoje mista. Aeroplan zacal svou znamou pisnieku, a neZ jsme se poradne rozhledli, vidime, Ze "plujeme" vzduchem. Podle pozorovani vidime, Ze letoun se nese zase too starou vzduehovou "hiway". V Austinu nad Texaskou universitou Jarka poznamenava, "Kclo vi, co asi ted' dela Dr. Little".

Moje velitelka zpatednim letu mela odbojne mySlenky. Vypravim ji o rychlem cestovani vzduchem a povidam: "Co nevidet, budeme doma." To z vista jasna prohlasi, "Jak prijedeme dome, tak ten nas strep prodam a budu letat do mesta, aeroplanem." — "Stars' steep" je minena Chevroletka, na2Se rodinna limusina. Dumam, jak to asi bude vypadat: startovan', rozjikleni, vyhYbani, parkovani, atd. NeZ jsem byl se svou meditaci hotov, prohlaiSuje slavnostne, Ze se ji na aeroplane libi a Ze ona to uZ zUstane, abych jel s Jarkou sam domt. Div jsem se neobratil v sloop jako Lotova Zena nad tonto Jobovou zvesti, "Pro panaboha, mamo," povidam, "a co ty kadeny a ku •ata?" Toto koozelne slovo ji zase vratilo pozemskemo Zivotu.

Jak se Olovek meni. Co jsem mel pied cestou obav, jak ji na ten aeroplan dostat, co to bylo objasnovani, premlouvani o bezpeenem cestovani letounem, aby se jen nebala. Byl jsem odhodlan, ac sam jsem mel strachu dosti, udelat ji u aeroplanu slavnostnt proslov o smrti velikYch na ktere svet nikdy nezapomina.

Chtel jsem k ni mluvit slovy medovYmi a hojnYmi sliby ji primet ku vstupu do aeroplane. A ted' by tu chtela zustat. Do bee, Ze ku slibtan nedoSlo — ona je toti2 ye vymahani diisledna.

Jara se bavi s panem z New Yorku. Ten jezdi do Mexika Oast°, ma tarn tovarnu.

V aeroplanu panuje ticho, letime nizko, kaZdY se syti vyhlidkou na menici se 0brazy na semi, kdy2 tu radio hlasi, Ze se blizeme k Dallas. Ti, co budou vystupovat, se pripravuji, krome tech, co jedou do Noveho Yorku. Ted' letime velmi nizko nad strechami kolonii delnickYch domktt, stavenYch Sablonovite. U2 vidime Cervenou vodarnu mesta Dallasu a bez trhnuti, ani bychom co pozorovali, ocitame se na zemi, a pak u hlavniho whodu. Vystupujeme. (Davam bedlivy pozor, jestli manZelka vystupuje take.) Marne zdani, ze prochazime vytopenYmi kamrty. Svlekam kabat, svlekam vestu, hodne se potim. Vystupujeme o 4 hodinach odpoledne, presne die jizdniho du. V eekarne je prijemny chlad. 6eka-me tu na zavazadla.

(Dokoneeni) SvekruSe, zavezla nas do sveho domova, kde jsme meli naei kart" uskladneno.

Pres.edli jsme a jedeme dolma. Ted' jsme si honem vzpomneli na domor-. K naei hanbe budiZ Zalovano, Ze po celY ten eas jsme si na dam ani nevzponmeli.

Jako to pohadka o pernikove chaloupce mela svuj konec, tak i nasi testy byl konec. Vylezaje z toho "strepu" na dvote sveho domova zazpival jsem si, jako blahe pameti asi pied 45 lety v Praze, "slava, nazdar vyletu, nezmokli jsme, 112 jsme tu."

Vie je zde jak bylo pied tYdnem, ptedvderejSky a veera, nic se ani nehnulo, zatim co my v dobe jen nekolika dint nahromadili ohromne bohatstvi dojmil. Co jsme videli a co jsme poznali, bylo yellkYm prinosem,naSemu vzdelani a poneeni. Prijemne bylo spojeno s poudnYm, a jsme s naSim zajezdem vice jak spokojeni. Privezli jsme si spoustu dopisnic, fotografii; pamfletn, brolur a jine feel, ktere nam budou za Apatneho podasi ukracovat dloone chvile.

Budeme vzpominat na podrobnosti nase budeme vzpominat na pf.jemn chvile a dojmy, je2 se nedaji zapomeflout.

Z na'Sich pfivodniph plane hodne seelo, ale doufam, ze snad aZ za rok, budou-li sluene pomery, udelali bychom delsi tnru. Podle Geographic Magazine, jejZ mam po ruce, rad bych videl zriceniny v Cuaxuhtemotzin (prosim, vyslovte spra y -ne)arodvyhuljmenTaica. Dale pohanskY velikY chram v Mitzahuaxholtotl a Palenque (palenka) naroda jmenem Zapotecas. V MeXiku je totiZ nekolik ritznych narodii. Dale velke vykopayky v Oaxaca vyhynuleho naroda.

Mixtecan. Pak Tiaquepaque, kde v chrame obetovali Zlve lidi. Jaky to byl narod, nevim, ale verim, Ze to bude ohromne zajimave. Zatim to prani je jen pranim.

Jeden pritel mi vytkkal, Ze za tak kratkou dobu cestovani mohu popsat tolik papiru. Vys yetloval jsem mu, Ze jsem o Mexiku a jeho dejinach hodne Ceti a tiZ predem jsem veal, Lam jedu a co °deka,yarn. NeZ musim ptiznat, Ze me dtivejSi predstavy a skuteenost — to byl velikY rozdil. Jiz pied 40 lety doma dostal se nil do rukou cestopis Dra Stolby, "Mexiko", ktery byl ohromne zajimavY. Dr. Stolba patrne umel epanelsky, bud' Ceti mexicke dejiny nebo mu byl k disposici statni archly mexickY, kde eerpal podrobnosti a dokumenty ku svemu podrobnemu cestopisu. Pri veech najezdech starYch Spanein za , zlatem bylo stleastneno mnoho mnichti a kneli. Tito byli dobrYmi kroni-

kari a ti popisovall kaklou uddlost dopodrobna. Dr. Stolba uvadi, ze jen tomu lze dekovati, Ze svet se dovedel o techto narodech a jejich Zivotu sahajicim daleko' zpet do minulosti.

Take se musim zminit, ke Mexiko je, idealni zeme na, rybareni a hen na jeleny. Muj jeden pritel American mi vypra.Ze jede rybarit do Mexika kaZdy rok a Ze nachyta hritzu ryb vklycky. To by tedy ukazovalo, Ze by mexicke ryby na Amerikany "braly". Take co vim, hodne jich tam jezdi na lov jelent. Je Mexiko take eldorado americkYch bohaett a hollywoodskYch hvozdieek. 11/1aji svoje prepychove vily v laznich u jezer a na btezich Atlantikit nebo 'Pacifiku, anebo tarn maji sve obchodni a hospodarske zajmy.

Ku konci se musim zminit, Ze nine Ze se yam moje povidani libilo, praveni bylo jen struene, koncentrovane.

Kdybych byl psal obeirneji, to by vzalo jeete mnoho psani. Nu, ted' budeme mit veichni radost, Ze ttZ je tomu konec. Nemain uZ trpelivost psi psani. My§lenky se .vali jako lavina jedna za druhou, a chcete-li je zachytiti, musite psat rych-. le, take to mnohdy sam po sobe nemohlt preeist. Zmizi-li yam prvni ptivodni mySlenka, a trebas ji ptivolate zpet uZ to neni ona, uk je zdeformovana.

Nejfetel radost bude mit redaktor, Z"e uZ bude mit ode mne pokoj. Ku konci meho yypraveni nelze nil ne'2' vyslo yiti uprimny dik naeemu redaktoru za jeho ohromnou trpelivost a praci s mourn "krasopisem" a mYmi hieroglyfy. S ureitosti jsem predpokladal, ze ho to priyede, neZ" to dokonei, do blazince (mezi ty zurive). NeZ diky nebestim se tak nestalo, on to yeechno et'astne Hochu zlatSr , ani nevim, jak bych se Ti odmenil za tu drinu. Ale ja vim, co udelam. Provolam Ti trikrat "slava".

CHRAS1TE

Vaaene sestry a vaaeni bratri!

Nemocenske pojikeni v Americe je v poeatcich, iekl bych, ae je v plenkach.

A to proto, ae se jej neujmuli ti, kterYm ma nejvice slouiti — pracujici. Je proto zlatYm dolem pro pojiSt'ujici spcleenosti, jea a toho bohatnou, coa jim umianuje velkY poeet pojikenYch a pomerne male procento onemocneni pojiStencti u rich pcjiStenYch. Abyste lepe pochopili, co se da dociliti velkYm poetem pojikencn, zminim se o nemocenskem pojikeni v Oeskosloven' sku, ktere jest nejen jedno z nejlepkch v Evrope, ale na celem svete. Vam asi nebucle znamo, ae z mnoha zemi jezdili k narn zastupci statti, aby studovali nas system nemocenskeho pojiSteni.

OeskosloveaskY delnik by si sotva dovedi pi'edstaviti sve postaveni bez neraccenskeho pojiSteni. Delniku u nas jest povinne strhovan poplatek pii Opiate na nemocenske pojiSteni, tak asi jako zde na "Social Security", a to pfil procenta z jeho mzdy. TentYa poplatek, procenta delnikovy mzdy musi zaplatiti zamestnavatel. To jest zakon. Tedy celkern jde na nenrocenske pojiSteni jedno procento ze mzdy kaadeho delnika nebo delnice. Poclle vYk, jakou kterY -delnik odvadi na poplatcich, jest zatazen do stupnice. Zarazeni do stupnice neni proto, aby , byl delnik die toho Wen, jake odvadi poplatky, nYbra pouze proto, ae v pripade onemocneni mimo leeeni zdarma dostava jeSte tak zvanou nernocenskou podporu, aby jeho rodina, nebo i on sam nemusel trpeti nedostatkem.

Tedy leceni, operate, nemocnice a i sanatoria me zdarma a mimo toho jeSto clostava vyplacenu podporu die stupnice, clo jako byl zarazen die avYch odvadenYch poplatkU. V nemocenskem pojiSteni v Oeskosloyensku neni predepsanc, kolikrate smite bYti do roka nemocni. Kdykoliv vas lekat uzna, ae jste nemocni, tolikrat jest Vam poskytnuto lekafske .c.Setreni a i pocipora v nemoci. (Tak to bylo aspon v dobe, kdy jsem v '6eskoslovensku jeSto by!.)

Jiste je Vain divne, jak je to moane Linanene vydraet, Vain k -Loriru jeke dodaro, ae z penez, jea se takto vyberou byly postaveny ohromne Ustredni buclovy nemocenske pojiSt'ovny, sanatoria a nemocnice, nebot' prebytky finaneni byly znaane, ktere toto vse umoanily vybudovati.

Sekretak se v suche tvaii zapalil. Nea se veak mohl vzmoci na odpoved', zarachotila za dveimi dievena noha. Guverner se objevil. Sekretak se hluboce uklonil a podaval pouzdro. Governer se podival do zafici tvaie itiednikovy. PHjeinna zprava?

LETTERS LODGE POKROK HOUSTON NO. 88 Albert Bristik Reporting Dear Sisters and Brothers: Some time ago I reminded you of our regular meeting that was held on Sunday, November 2nd, and urged all of you to attend inasmuch as it was the last one preceding our Annual Meeting to be held in December. At this meeting, the membership decided to set Sunday December 14, 1952, for our Annual Meeting date. You will note that this is the second Sunday in the month. There will not be a meeting held on the first Sunday which was the date set for our regular monthly meetings. The reason for setting the date to December 14th is to allow sufficient time for all committees to prepare their annual reports up to date.

While our Lodge can boast of a large membership, it is disappointing to have to admit that the membership is negligent in attending regular monthly meetings and taking an active part in deliberating on various matters that may be presented for the mutual benefit of all concerned.

Musings of the Editor (Continued from page 19.)

REALIZING THAT WE cannot place to much importance on well-trained organizers to represent us in the field, and realizing that some planning and study will be needed by all of us, Brother Marek requested the editor to make this appeal to every 'one of our members who would be interested in taking the organizers' course to write to Brother Marek and ask for the course. Yon don't have to be a high school graduate to master it. Of course, the more formal or business schooling you have the easier it will be to handle the lessons.

And it does not take ages to complete the Basic Course. Three of the applicants have already completed the entire course. All three of them are close to Rosenberg, and, therefore, the first class is being called there.

OTHER CLASSES WILL be held other, localities as soon as there will be sufficient number of qualified students.

The plan is to hold the classes in each distridt. The class in Rosenberg Will have some organizers from District One, District Five, and District Six. As soon as they are ready, the organizers in other districts will have similar classes..

Those of you who have just started or are planning to start, can qualify in a very short time to attend one of these classes.

Fraternally, Jay Dee Waggoner ) • 4 4, POKROK SWEET HOME LODGE Sweet Home, Texas Dear Editor and Members: Just to remind you that our regular meeting will be Sunday, November 16, at 1:30 p. m. At the last meeting the members have agreed to enjoy a keg of ' Shiner Beer after the meeting. So don't miss this opportunity to come out and also tell your neighbor member about it.

According to our by-laws the election of lodge officers is to be held in December, but if the crowd will be large we can hold the election at this meeting and elect our officers for the year 1953. So do your duty, come to the meeting and cast your vote for those members that you think will make good officers for your lodge. I think to make some change in the administration wouldn't hurt.

The editor has said in the Vestnik so much about our Sick Benefit Department how negligent the SPJST members are toward this department. In many lodges not even knowing we have sick and accident insurance. This shows that there is very little interest created among members by their officers in such lodges. Many members complain that the benefit is too small for these modern times. I was positively sure that the last

VESTNIK--- WEST, TEXAS convention in Houston would make some changes, but very little has been done, I'd offer these changes for a trial: Have only two classes: A and B. Now we have four. In class A no age limit; double the dues from 25 cents to 50 cents a month or 6 dollars annually. Also double the payments—the highest up to 75 dollars once a year. In class B, age from 2 years up to 70 years. Double the dues from one dollar a month to two dollars or 24 dollars annually. Highest payment up to $250.00 in one year. A member must belong to this department 3 months before, asking for an allotment.

In case of serious accident or sickness where immediate attention of a physician is needed payment shall be made at once.

Hope brother Koliha will soon tell us something about this Sick Benefit Dept.

Don't you think it's about time for you to make a little report?

Fraternally yours, Chas. J. Havlik, President 4. • ( ) JARO LODGE NO. 130 Dear Readers: Lodge Jaro No .130 held its regular monthly meeting November 2 with a nice attendance.

A report was given by Bro. A. M. Vrla on the program which was given for the Dallas Fraternal Council by Lodge No. 84 and 130, SPJST, and Lodge Dallas 401, ZCBJ. The Sick Committee reported that Bro. Joseph Ruzicka is in need of blood and we are requesting and urging all our members of SPJST to give blood and help replace the blood he has needed from the Blood Bank. Anyone wanting to give a pint of blood, please call the Wadley Blood Bank, Dallas, telephone number TA-9245 for an appointment.

Sunday. December 7, 1952, will be the next meeting of Lodge Jaro No. 130 and officers for the coming year will be elected. After the meeting, refreshments will be served so we're hoping to see a large percentage of our members there.

No chief of state is better protected than the President of the U. S. . . . And in no other country is the job done more discreetly . . . There are no uniformed, conspicuously armed guards traveling with the President . . . The uniform of the Secret Service is a business suit so plain you'll forget it the minute you look away, worn by a man you couldn't spot in a crowd. . .

But the men on the White House detail are specialists at their work... They are crack shots, judo experts, skilled drivers ... They know about forgery, explosives, mob psychology and emergency first aid . . . Some are trained to deal with mental cases, to spot a madman, calm him and get him under medical care without causing alarm. . .
