PO DVACETI LETECH spolko-

HITISUJEME NEKDY, ae prate postupuje zvolna kupredu. Nekdy to trva mnoho roku neZ cobra mySlenka zaene se provadeti skutky. Uplyne easto dlouha doba, dbbra; mys'ienka, jakoby byla upine„ zapoinenu-1 ta, as najednou prijde tata2 mySlenka' odjinud a zaene se provadeti. Jakoby zrno padlo na skalu, kde leli, as na skale se nahromadi vrstva nove hliny, v nia zrno mute vyklieiti a rust. Pred dvaceti lety prinesla do sjezdu v Ennis sestra Valeikova z Dallas navrh, aby Hlavni firadovna kviiii ziskani mlade: Ze do Detskeho odboru obeasne nechala tiskncuti programy a zasilala je radtun bezplatne. Sedmielenny tiskovy vYbor upravil tento navrh sestry Valeikove, predloZil to delegatiim, a bylo to prijato ye smyslu, aby detske programy byly upraveny mimeografern. Pet Menu tohoto vylocru, Jos. Juran, V. Drobil, Jos. N. Vavra, Jos Zemanek a Hdvika Truksova,1 odeSlo jia do nenavratna. K provadeni navrhu nedoSio. A piece k provadeni dojde. Po dvaceti letech tataZ airyslenka byla naSi Jednote prednesena shodou okoinosti. Stale se tak v San Antonio ph zasedani Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu. Ve stredu, 19. listopadu, byla prednaSka o povinnostech bratrskych organisaci mladeli. Po prednake pri gla na porad rrizna jinx projednavani ohledne omladinovYch klubii. Bylo poukazano, ae vSechny bratrske a sesterske organisace mely by miti spoleenou dohodu., vymeriovati mezi sebou plany, programy a nahledy, aby ZlepMla se einnost omladinovYch klubti a kronair. Pride yyzvani, aby kaZdY spolek jmenoval ku spoleenemu planovani sveho zastupce. Tento zastupce byl by jakYmsi vedoucim di reditelem nebo poradcem pre einnost mladeZe. Predsedajici zaeai vyvolavati pritomne spolky. Trvalo nekolik minut nea doSda, rada na nas. PremYAlel jsem. Nebyla phtomna ani sestra Harriette Earlova, ani sestrat Marcella Kleprlikoya, ani nikdo z Dallas, z Fort Worth, z Ennis nebo od-

K

jinud, kde l'dea obcas ucinkuje. P' jsem oeima gestnact zaAtupcu od nail SPJST. Odhadoval jsem v duchu, koho bychom meli jmenovati. Kdy'Z vyvolano bylo jmeno SPJST, vstal brats Chupick, vysvetlil, ze na g DetskY odbor nedostal dosud nalekte pozornosti, ani patrieneho vYvinu, ale 'Ze se pPleinime, aby organisace SPJST neztistala pozadth Byl to bud' brats Chupick nebo brats Marek, kde jmenoval do spoleeneho vYboru pro mladeZ sestru Birdie Hilsherovou z Houstonu. Prvni dojern byl, ae jde jen o pouhou zdvorilost nebo formalitu. Nez bylo zasedani toho dne ukoneeno, byli svolani tits, vedouci mladeZe k u2S1 porade. Ujednano bylo, aby kaalY jmenovany vzal si na starost programy mladeZe u sveho spolku. V tom smyslu, sestra Hilsherova byla. poverena Ukolem, aby se starala o zavedeni programu mladeZe u nail SPJST a aby o postupu a einnosti omladinovYch klubn podavala zpravu patrienemu vYboru Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu. Ve stredu veder Zalovala nam sestra Hilsherova, do echo pry se dostala. se pry postarati o spoldanY vanoeni program. Ma pry vynajiti nee° vhodneho, rozmnoZiti to mimeografem a rozeslati to na vSechny naSe &maxi rady, aby detskY vanoeni program byl u kaZdeho radu proveden. Podobne ma si pripraviti program pro Valentine Day, pro velikonoce, pro Den matek, pro Den °ten, pro nejakY prazdninovY letni vylet nebo piknik a pro predveeer Vkch svatYch, obecne nazYvanY Halloween night. KdyZ nam sestra Hilsherova Zalovala, jakY ukol byl na ni vlolen, vzpomnel jsem Ei, Ze enniskY sjezd pred dvaceti lety odhlasoval, aby Hlavni firadovna vypracovala cletske programy, nechala je rozmnoZit mimeografem a zasilala programy radium bezplatne. Tenkrate bred dvaceti lety jsme to jen odhlasovali a pak zaloZili. Letos narn to bylo pripomenuto znovu, Ze bychom to meli prova, ,„ clet, a zaroven bylo na nas zadano, aby

chow nekoho pro vedeni teto prate stanovili. Po tridennim zasedani Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu jeli jsme domil v gichni spokojeni a nadkni Um, co jsme vyslechli a eemu jsme se pflueili. chni, az na sestru Hilsherovou. Pouze ona vezla sebou domii bfemeno. Stala se feditelkou spole6nYch pregramn pro naii Hudbu zna, zpe y zna, divadlo zna, ale kdo ji pomfige sestavovat viechny progtarny? Kdo ji pom0e vypracovat vanoOni program, rozmnoZit ho stonasobne a rozeslat ho na v gechny tady, kde by de-1,mi mohly bYti provedeny? Vzpomnel jsem si na kolegu Jaroslava Chmeileka, onoho mladeho redaktora z Chicaga, kterY se svou mladiekou rortomilou choti prijel na na g sjezd do Houstonu. Veal jsem, Z"e je graduovanYm dramaturgem„ za.roven reditelem kulturniho oddeleni CSA, Ze by mohl • vypomoci. Dopsal jsem mu leteckou poStou. Odpoved' priMa do tri dnu, rovne2 leteckou pogou. Sestra Hilsherova dostala vypracovanY vanoeni program "StedrY veeer v 6eskcslovensku". Ponevad2 je to pro mladeZ, ktera nezna dosti eesky, hlavne ty menu ditky, mluvenY doprovod je anglickY, aviak vanoe'M sborove pisne jsou Ceske. Je to vernY obrazek vanoenlho ovzdu gi v aeskoslOvensku, s Mikuclakm, andelem i eertem. K tomuto vancenimu programu, kterY byl sepsdn' bratrem Jaroslavem Chineliekern a pcslan sestra Hilsherova, phpsala sestra Hilsherova jen pathene vysvetleni, vsedla do auta a zajela s programem do Fayetteville, aby ho v kanUstredny nechala rozinnoZiti a na tajemniky' rozeslati. Ve stredu, 19. listopadu byla sestra Hilbratrem Chupickem sherova nebo bratrem Markem, aby v Texaskeni bratrskem kongresu zastupovala, naSi.

Naiim od redaktora

Na vysvetlenou tern, kdo si minuleho tYdne pochvalovali, Ze dostali Vestnik o den drive nez obyeejne, nutno pozname'nati, ze nestalo se tak nasledkem zlepSeni poUovni dodavky. PoSta je stejne loudava jako drive. Uryclileni doda yky organu bylo privodeno tim, Ze personal v tiskarne Oechoslovala, kde je na g organ tisknut,a expedoran, chtel take miti sval tek na Den dikuvzdani. Obyeejne je sazba Vestniku upravena do forem v ponde li odpoledne, aby se v fiterY rano zaeal organ tisknout a byl rozeslan vlaky jedoucirni pies West. Tentokrate bylo treta celY tYdenni program v tiskarne uspiAUL List zaeal byti tisknut hned v pondeli, tedy o den drive a byl zde v Houstonu dodan ye stredu, tedy den pred Yzdanim.

do minuleho eisla, ale bylo nutno je odloZiti aZ do tohoto eisla. Ctena hri a eleni dozajista ocefluji snahu vydavatele, ae organ byl dodan radeji den pied svatkem neZli aZ den po svatku. Zaroven riaSi dopisovatele by meli parnatovati, ae v done predvanoeni a novoroeni bude doprava hodne zpomalena, r,ae organ bude nutno opet tisknouti v pondell, BoZi narozeni bude ye etvrtek a Nov' rok rovne2 ve etvrtek, a proto dopisy musi byti v rukou redaktora yeas. Jako den strida se s noel, tak pochvala a kritika prichazi za sebou. Dostavam peknou hrstku osobnich doPist kaZdeho dne, ktere nejsou pro verejnost, ale z nichZ eerpam, ponaueeni, pobidku k dalsi praci, nebo tea vYstrahu a upozornem, ze jsem klopYtnul. Oba druhy dopisfi je treba, jako deSte i slunka rostlinam. Nad nekterYm vYstraZnYm dopisem se musim pozastaviti. Prod pry jsem psal, jak jsem volil — to do spolkoveho organu nepatai, to je proti stanovam, to uraZi stare deny, kteri byli, jsou a budou demokraty a2 do hrobu trnaveho. Tak psal jeden den. Zamyslel jsem se. Pak jsem chtel elenu odpovedeti osobnim listem. Zaeal jsem, ale nedokoneil. Proe bych nemohl objasniti postaveni redaktora yeerejne? 1V10Ze i 'lad() jinY se zamysli. K tomu jsou vlastno noviny druhu spolkoveho organu, abychom seznali se vzajemne. Zd.alo by se, Ze nekteri etenaki by nejra,videli, aby redaktor byl jako plechovY kohout na korouhviece, aby se toeil dle toho, odkud vitr fouka. Lee je takovY bezpaternY elovek spolehlivY? MUZete re spektovati osobu, ktera. je "kana vitr, tarn plaSt'?" Kdybych byl psal, jak mate volit, to bylo by neco jineho ne2 kdy2 nim zminku o tom, jak, jsern volil. To stanovy snad nezakazuji. Jon nezabihejme do nedfitklivosti. 1\,loZna, Ze jsem nee° takoveho napsal jen proto, abychom se mezi sebou presvecleili, jak dovedeme byti toleranenimi, snaSenlivYmi. NaSim pravidlem by vlastrie melo b-'ti: "Naprosto nesouhlasim s tim, co povidas, ale stojim pri tobe, abys nam to rekl. At' rna.me svobodu slova, i kclyZ pro tvoji mySlenku nejsem." Proto take ye schfizich bychom meli podporovat ten nebo onen naval, i kdybychom pozdeji proti /M yrhu hlasovali. SnaSenlivost vtiei nahledum je vlastnost, ktera se teZko uplatriuje. Mezi osobnimi poznamkami na,Sel jsem take techto nekolik radek: eta se zajmem roman "Pan na Ceske rece". Je to kus americke historie. Nam, kteri jsme nechodill zde ve SpojenYch statech do Skoly, je tijeba takoveho eteni. 13a, /lam by neSkodilo, kdybychom si preeetli celou americkou historii. Mane., ze bychom se stall jeSte lepsimi americkYmi obeany, neZ za ja,ke se sami povaZujeme. — A (met musim poznamenati, ze aril ohledne roma-

Vsadil bych se, Ze z jedenacti denti Hlavni firadovny vybrali bychom sotva deny, kteri by schvalovali romanovou cetbu ye Vestniku, "At' si koupi, kdyZ chteji roman Oisti", je vetSiny firednikil a reditelu. Je vSak eetba ro• manovaa eetba beletrie krasne literstury — zrovna tak potrebnYrn duSevnim poZitkena jako poslouchani krasne hud by nebo zpevu. U vSech narodu ma kniha YYznam kulturni. U lidu C,eskcho ma kniha take vyznam probuzensky. KclyZ 6eskY jazyk byl zdeptan, skoro vyhlazen .po tricetilete valce a v nasledujicich stoletich byli to naSi zapasil o sve byti a nebyti spisovatele, kteri jej pied, yyllynutim vydavanim knih, poviclek, romann, pohadek, basnieek a lidovYch pisni. Mauro-li v ante naSe eeske spisovatele, Ze eeskY narocl zachranill od osudu jinYch zapadnich Slovanti, kteri utonuli v germanskern, musime . tea znati jejich knihy. Nejsou to jen slabikare a lehke Skolni citanky, ale knihy, ktere ,davaly Citectui a posilu v dobach trpkYch. KaZdY elovek, kterY si osobuje bYtinazYvan prnmerne vzdelanYm, ma si p •eeisti kaZdY mesic aspori jeden roman od cJobreho spisovatele. -aekove kniZky nernely by byti jedinYm projevem naSi seetelosti. 2e mezi nasimi Cleny je dostni velky zajem o beletrii, totiZ romany, povidky a eetbu zabavriou, o tom by mohly vypravovati naSe spolkove knihoyny. Kupoyaly se knihy, Maly se sbirky na zakoupeni novYch, a byl peknY vYber, dokuddovoz knih z Oeskoslovenska nebyl zastayen d •uhou svetoyou valkou a nynejSi mezinarodni situaci. A jak costly nae ta.dove knihovny, tak rostli i spolkovi 'etcOeska knih y silila naSe elenY, teSila je a take narodne a spoleeensky vychovavala.

reports from Lodges, biographies, etc., intended for publication, must be in the hands of the Editor a week before the date of issue.Address all editorial matters to: Editor, 6402 Prague, Houston 7, Tex.

POSTMASTER: Send form 3579 with undeliverable copies to S. P. J. S. T., Fayetteville, Texas.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THOSE WHO ARE interested in bringing our children, our young boys and our young girls, to take more notice of what the SPJST stands for, should read the article by Sister Birdie Hilsher in this issue. She has been given a big assignment and she will need our support. There is more to conducting a junior department than writing insurance on their lives, or giving them an ice cream party in summer and a Christmas party in winter. Any move ment must have a more lasting foundation. The adult who works with youth in a home lodge may not consider himself or herself important,' but the many who wish to work among the juniors in our society have a tremendous responsibility. • • OUR SUPREME OFFICERS may have to clear up a bit of technicality at the next meeting of the Supreme Lodge. Sister Hilsher was named, either by secretary Chupick or president Marek, as the most logical and capable member of the SPJST to represent us in the Youth Section of the Texas Fraternal Congress. When it comes to deal with youth activities, youth character, and yollth fraternalism, it would be very difficult to find a better qualified member to serve as adviser, promoter, and counselor than is Sister Hasher. Her appointment to this type of service has met with everybody's approval who was then present in the session of the Youth Section in San Antonio. But a bit of technicality remains to be settled. Other organizations who selected similar representatives to create, promote and develop youth activities in their respective societies have given their leading workers the designation of "Director of Youth" or "Director of Junior Activities". Sister Hilsher was appointed as director of youth activities in the SPJST. Someone may raise the point that we have five directors up to December 31, 1952 and seven directors commencing on January 1, 1953, and that we cannot have another director. Someone else may point out that we also have another director, the one who is managing the Sick Benefit Department. My suggestion would be to give Sister Hasher the de-

signation of "Youth ' Counselor." It would be in conformity with the junior work done by the National Fraternal Congress, where the leaders and directors among the boys and girls form . a section called the Fraternal Youth Counselors Association. But regardless of what title or name we give to Sister Hushes, we ought to congratulate ourselves that she has accepted the duties imposed on her and that our work among our young members will be in hands of a capable leader. • • OUR LOCAL LODGES are independent units of a democratic organization. Every individual in a democracy, and every member of the SPJST, has a share and a responsibility in the way that democracy or that local lodge functions. Unless we exercise our rights to "have our say", to cast our ballots, to elect our leaders, our 'democracy and our lodges cannot function with complete effectiveness. THE ANNUAL MEETING gives you an opportunity to exercise your rights and to have a share of your responsibilities in a democratic, co-operative organization. That is why I. am urging you to go to the annual meeting. That is why every sincere fraternalist would like see a large turn-out to participate in the election of lodge officers, committeemen and directors in every local lodge. Remember, when you vote for your officers and other leaders of your lodge, you are not throwing away your own responsibility. You are merely designating certain members to act for you, to take care of the lodge business. But your officers are always glad to have your view and your suggestion. • • THE ANNUAL MEETING gives you also an opportunity to look ahead to the job s t ill to be d o n by your lodge' for the members and for the entire community in which your lodge is located. Since your lodge is a democratic organization in a democratic Country, the work of your lodge is not limited to the four wallS of the lodge hall. Since your lodge is a fraternal or-

ganization, the members of your lodge should be interested in their fellowmen and in brotherhood. The latin noun "frater" from which the English word "fraternal" is derived, means "brother." If the members of your lodge are not interested in brotherhood, then your lodge is not a fraternal organization and you, dear reader, should not be called brother, because you yourself are parading tinder false pretenses. YOU MAY SAY that times have changed, that the members don't care any more about the fraternal organizae tion. Yes, home life has changed. New comforts and luxuries of living have been added. The old and cumbersome` methods of past are no more. But men and women still do meet. Fraternalism still provides a practical and sensible way -for men and women to understand each other. The lodge meetings 'still provide means for social contact. In the' -lodge meetings new and lasting friendship still can be formed. The lives of the lodge members still may be mace richer, fuller and happier through these contacts. The lives of men and women still center around the homes where their loved ones have lived and live today. Fraternalism still has grand mis7 sions to perform.

SOME TWENTY YEARS ago, the leaders in the fraternal circles started insurance for children. A good many of our lodges have many children insured; but there is no junior activities. Our junior members should be made 'to realize that we have something worth while. How many lodges have recently discussed the topic of junior activities?, Any local organizer can fill out an application for insurance of a child, but how many members do we have in the local lodges who would offer the advantages of character building through the junior lodge activities? An organizer stated once "You have to get them as members before you can have youth , program." That is true, but do we have to write business and forget altogether the important job of character building?

The Texas Fraternal Congress Youth Activity Report During the Fifty-second Annual Session of the Texas Fraternal Congress held in San Antonio, Texas, November 19, 20, 21, 1952, directors were appointed from each Fraternal Organization belonging to the Texas Fraternal Congress for supervising and directing the Youth Movement in the State of Texas for their respective organizations. The Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, has honored me by pointing me as their director of the Youth Activity Council for all our lodges, and I shall. sincerely do my very best to fill this post to the best of my ability, and in helping you obtain more Youth encouragement in your lodges and thereby stimulating the interest of your entire lodge and making it progress. It will take the combined effort of all who arc interested in their Youth to help in premoting this great undertaking. It is the youth of today, that will have to someday take over our duties and obligations, and it is our duty to see that they begin to take part and interest in our lodges today, and in order to obtain that interest, we are trying to promote the Youth. Activity Programs throughout. In our Youth Activity Session, many progressive and educational features were discussed and plans perfected to extend the effort greatly during the coming year. (These plans I will relate to you from time to time in my , column called: "Our Youth Movement" from now on, so be sure to watch for them.) Each Fraternal Society reported taking rapid and important strides toward the development of the Youth Movement as it is our youth that is the dominating factor in the future of fraternalism. It was also decided that we all get started immediately in each society, and convey all good ideas to each other, as fraternalists, and help promote the Youth Interest in all fraternal societies. We welcome suggestions at all times and urge the continued good will and cooperation of everyone. Each Fraternal Organization will conduct their own program for their own organization in their own way through their appointed director, and all directors of the Youth Council will meet ever so Often and discuss ways and means to still better the Youth Interest in our, organizations. Our first plans laid out were to stage programs of all kinds for different oeeaSions, playing games, having group chortis', and having different contests —that of course, would depend upon

each organization individually, and what tons, or if it's help or information you their directors would think best. would like to obtain.

TIDBITS (By Otto Stehlik) (Editor's Note: — On several occasions I asked Brother Otto Stehlik of Wichita Falls to put his thoughts on paper and send them as contributions to the English section of our official paper. Finally, he agreed, provided I do not censor his writing more than fifty percent. So I agreed, too. Brother Stehlik's contributions will be welcome.) Big Men:—Where are our big men? I believe all of us' agree that Eisenhower and Stevenson are big' men, but how about their campaign managers? What do you think of Mitchell (Democratic Campaign Manager) when he said that, Price Daniel, now Senator Elect from Texas could not expect much when he gets to Washington," and how about Summerfield (the Republican Manager when he said, "We could have won with anyone"? In my opinion such statements could not be made by any one else but small men. Worst of all is that we have too Many of them. Turkeys:—(College Station reporting) They claim that they have trained clogs that herd turkeys, and separate them according to size and color. Diplomacy: — what country have you ever heard of the foes meet for the good of the Nation? Viz. President Truman and President Elect Eisenhower. In other countries it means a duel. Just think, when one of our writers said that "The Italian military and economic set up is as strong as spaghetti", that writer was immediately challenged to a duel with pistols. Little Theater:— Seymour, Texas, according to daily papers — three Americans of Czech origin are taking part in plays as produced by the Seymour "Little Theater."

so Sister said; "What do we want to do, buy flowers or give money to a worthy cause?" I told her to find out if a, donation to Czech loan fund would appeal to the family. The answer was "no" because 'the Student Loan Fund is unknown to us." I can't understand why our writers have so much to say about other organizations, and so little being said about education. So many of you beat on the National (Czech) drum, why not write about' Education? Not just the departments at Texas U. and A. and M. but how to raise money to send students there in increased numbers, Let's ad• vocate,. alongside the development of muscie, the development of brain. I think that, personally, I have a crow to pick with the folks that hun the Student Loan Fund. A while back, your- and My good friend, August Kacir, have been writing me asking for suggestions as to how to make more activity in the Student Loan Fund. In answer to one of his letters I proposed in one of my Lodge meetings that Neodvislost Lodge No. 76 sends $1.00 per capita This was voted and sent. It was a small sum, of course. So I wrote to our friend August Kacir, saying, 'Write in Vestnik, tell others what we have done; maybe others will follow suit." No letter in Vestnik, barely acknowledgement of money. When I confronted August about the letter, his reply as, "I sent it to Roman Bartosh and he promised to do so"; when I saw Bartosh at the convention and told him what August said, Roman replied, "I never heard of it." I also suggest that, once in a while, dances, parties, plays, be given and the proceeds to go to Student Loan Fund. No one seems to be interested, but there are plenty who would like to bury me alive, because I approach the Czech question the American way.

The Cost of Brotherhood Brotherhood has been the subject for discussion over many centuries. Perhaps the apparent failure of those who are interested in bringing about a condition of understanding and love among men is due to the insistence that we establish a Utopia of common thought and opinion. Brotherhood, genuine Brotherhood, can never be sought on such a basis. A condition which submerges individuality cannot serve as suitable material for a firm foundation. We forever want Brotherhood without the cost of Brotherhood. We want to imagine a shortcut, a royal road to its achievement. We want to feel that -the other fellow" is obstructing the path. But Broherhood is sacrifice and begins with the understanding of self. It is the highest expression of religion, and calls for the answer to the question: "How can I make my religion speak so that others will enter into the contract of Brotherhood with me?" Emerson wrote: "I cannot hear what you say for knowing what you are." This is the challenge to all of us. To keep our deeds and acts on a plane with our words. Brotherhood is courage. Men are at times hesitant to show sentiment and feeling toward other men. The word virtue is from the Latin which means manliness. So, when we are doing kindly deeds, we are doing the work of men. Brotherhood is action. To have a strong belief is Wonderful; to make that belief workable in man-to-man associations is truly the great task. Brotherhood is moral strength. Only the genuine wil produce the genuine. There is nothing genuine about a Golden Calf form of Brotherhood.

The Club made plans for its next meeting which will be a Christmas Social, officially , called "The Texas A and M Czech Club Christmas Social of 1952." Alt persons living in the vicinity of College Station or Bryan, and any others who 'would like to attend, are cordially invii ed. One of the main purposes of the Social will be to acquaint the visitors with the members of the Club. Dr :.Skrivanek, the Club sponsor, will explain the objectives of the Chair of Slavonic Languages, and the Club president, Mr. Henry Prochazka, will give the objectives of the Club. Following the program, refreshments will be served by the management of the MSC.

Coffee will also be served the social is scheduled for December 15th from 7 :30? During this month's meeting it was learned that the Czech Club is the largest Language club on the A and M Campus. Our sponsor was praised by the members of the foreign language division for his splendid work with the Club.

Texas Fraternal Congress Convention in San Antonio, Texas It was a pleasure indeed, to attend as a delegate, the convention of the Texas Fraternal Congress in San Antonio, Texas. This convention was in progress for three days, the 19-20-21 of November. Attended by 120 delegates and 35 guests of various societies. The three days of session were educational and entertaining. By attending these conventions in succession for several years, one gets acquainted with men and women from different organizations, and you feel very much at home amongst people, that seek and practice fraternalism not only in their own society and lodge, but with no exception among other fraternal societies. In these conventions each society gives advise freely, of their experiences, so others may benefit by them. Conventions are held each year. In 1950 was the golden anniversary of the Texas Fraternal Congress held in Dallas. And my first attendance as a delegate. In that year the program was rich with distinguished guest speakers, many a president of leading Fraternal Societies were present. One of them was John P. Stock, president of the National Fraternal Congress and at the same time president of the Macabees. A very likeable perscn, full of life and humor with a million dollar smile. In this years convention all present paid their last respect to John P. Stock who passed away in September of this year. In 1950, I was accompanied by sister Helen Valcik, the wife of our editor, brother Steve Valcik. The convention of the Fraternal Congress in 1951 was held in Corpus Christi, and our Order was represented by seven delegates. The program was not as full as in 1950 ; But just as well Worth while. The principal speaker at that time was Mrs. Ulma Moss of the Maccabees. She spoke on behalf of our youth. She also is in charge of the youth activities for her organization. Her message to the assembly, were experiences exercised by her in working with young people. This speaker, Ulma Moss hold their addiences interested for hours. Also brother E. L. ‘Marek our President of S. P. J. S. delivered a timely address. The topic "The Importance of our Lodges". This was accepted with applause. This year's convention was held in San Antonio, and when I was notified from headquarters of my appointment as a delegate I accepted with pleasure. Our Order was intitled to 16 or 17 delegates. 12 were present Brothers: Ed. L. Marek, F. J. Chupick, Chas. NaVratil, J. C. Einiegle, R. Urbanovsky, J. Skrabanek,

Steve Valcik, J. Kle prlik, S. C. Bundil. Sisters: A Blanar, Birdie Hilsher and Frances Olexa. We Lett Houston cn the 19th at 5 a. m. Mr. and Mrs. Valcik kindly invited Birdie and little me to ride with them, which made it very nice for both of us. The weather was ideal, skies blue and bright and the air crisp. By 9:30 we were already checking in at the hotel Plaza. After a little freshening up in our rooms, we went up to the 14th floor where the session already was in progress. The speaker at the time Dr. H. B. Kennedy medical director of the W. 0. W. who 'Spoke on behalf of our Youth Movement. Among other things he said. "Occupy our youngsters in various activities and may be assured of good attendance in your lodges, at any program planned. If you give the youngsters things to do, make them feel important. Than the parents will not have to bring the children. But the children will bring the parents. And we all agreed, this to be a fact. Each of the present societies immediately appointed a member from their midst for this youth movement committee. I am very proud to announce, that our active Sister Birdie Hilsher was appointed and attended the meeting of this committee held later in the day. As you all know she is also -serving on ,a similar committee appointed by our district No. 5. For Youth Committe Movement in district No. 5 we have the following three member committee: Sister Mary Chupik, Lodge No. 142, Birdie Hilsher Lodge No. 88 and brother joe Skrabanek Lodge No. 139. We have high hopes of sucL. ess in that line. Next on the program was profesor McNutt of the Purdue University, where he teaches courses in life insurance. His address, cr you may call it a lecture in life insurance, lasted well over an hour But every one present would have been willing to listen to, this interesting topic indefinitely. In my mind, I went to our organizers and summarizing how- little we actually do know about life insurance. There is whole lot more to life insurance, than knowing, or just partly knowing how to fill out an application. How much do we know, what a prospect should be expecting for his or her dollars invested? Besides that, we are offering a $1,000 policy in case of death or an Endowment policy after so many years? There is so much to selling this vital protection to our people, if only we Would really know how. One don't realize how much there is to life insurance till you have the opportunity to listen to an educated person in that field. Our

Order is offering a course in Basic Fro, ternal Life Insurance Training through the mail. I hope every one of us will take advantage of this opportunity and register for that course. At this convention I had the opportunity to meet top salesmen, who don't think anything of selling $25000 or $50,000 policies. One even sold two, mind you, two one hundred thousand dollar policies last month. Of course, our Order don't have such policies. Our By laws do not permit that amount. But we have $10,000 policies, and how many do we have on our books in that amount? I am afraid none. That's why I am sure, it would be beneficial for every one of us organizers to sign up for this course and improve our abilities. At tuiy rate we can not lose by doing it. The afternoon session started at 2 p. m. This was the publicity section; Leo Anders of Sons of Herman in charge. After introducing several speakers . he alSo presented our editor brother Steve.: Valcik. I must say, not being on the program as a speaker, and being caught off guard without warning to speak on the spur of the moment, brother Valcik certainly did a good job of advertising our SPJST. Several delegates fired questions at him concerning our weekly paper which he answered with ease. They also were very much . surprised to learn, that brother Valcik manages both sections the Czech as well as the English. That night I must say we enjoyed tremendously. We visited La Villita,located about 3 blocks from the hotel Plaza. La Villita is the original Little-Town of the Spaniards, operated, by the city of San Antonio as a community center for public. This center may bereserved without cost for programs of different groups. The convention coinmittee arranged a program for the delegates and visitors at La Vilita, Birdie ,and I roamed over the place, the patios,- o the open tea garden, the trees, shrubs and the flower beds filled with floWering plants, that will be in bright cOlers in the very near future. The wrought ikon trims on the patios and stair cases, the lanterns lighted with mystic lights, gave you the feeling of the old grandeur of the Spaniards. The auditorium was nicely filled when a five member orchestra under the direction of brother S. C. Bundil, started to play our familiar Czech music. Of course, as natural as breathing we just had to hum. Next number was Joe. That's all z know. He entertained as I understand at all the swanky parties given by the poor rich in San Antonio. He sure knew ,


Otrarta 94. how "too pick that guitar and has a wonderful voice. Than there were few young ladies dancing different type of dances. The one I enjoyed the most, was a beautiful young girl dancing a spanish dance. Everything about her was just like electricity. Sure was sorry she couldn't dance for us the other number too, but she got hl and could not dance any more. That ended the program and we delighted with the wlit2le program departed to get a snack to eat at the Sons of Herman Lodge not very far away. Thursday morning registration took place. At 10 o'clock the 52 Congress was opened with the -presentation of colors, the pledge of allegiance, invocation and the welcome address of the mayor protern of the city of San Antonio. Response was delivered by brother J. F. Chupick. Brother Chupick was requested to assume this duty the last minute, in Place of Mrs. Jeannie Willard past pre)c. ident of the NatFonal Congress. At noon we ladies were surprised with the .invitation to lunch at the home of cur friend Mrs. Ruby Holy. Mrs. Blanar and Mrs. Amburn gave us a ride in their car to the nice home of our hostess. After looking through the lovely home with lots of OH and AH we were called to take our places at the, table. If- I . may say so, it was better than a wedding. All that good food, and the kolaches. I have no idea what impression I left with my old friend Mrs. Holy. But. I do assure you, I. had breakfast that morning. And on top we had entertainment too. You know Mrs. Holy plays piano and the accordion? and pretty good too. All has to come to an end, and we delegates, that is Mrs. Mama., -Birdie and I had to leave, to attend the afternoon session. Imagine and the rest of the ladies staying behind with all those delicious kolaches still on the table. (I know I regreted it terribly) Thanks a million for two pleasant hours spent in your lovely home. In the afternoon session reports were given• by various committees.. Several speakers were introduced. E.,R. Deming, president of the National Fraternal Congress. Among other things he stres zed the neccessity of blood banks. If every Fraternal organization would donate$1.00 for each member there would be enough funds to buy 3 blood trucks or ambulances. These would tour the country to receive 'blood from persons not having time to go to the hospital to donate their blood. Some of the organiations pledged themselves for that , purpose. Ed. L.

hypnose a dodateene po hypnose, t. zv. "posthypnoticka poslu gnost". Podle tohoto vzoru vysvetloval Breuer vznik hysteric tim, ze hystericke ptiznaky vznikaly za zvlag tnich dugevnich stavu v okamZiku du gevniho ottesu. Tim vznikne hysterickY ptiznak, ktery jest jakymsi cizim telesem, Cnicim do normalniho du, gevniho stavu. Nejcharakteristietej gi pro nej jest amnesic mezera ye vzpominkach; hysterik si nepamatuje na ptime okolnosti, ktere ptiznak vyvolaly. Breuer a Freud pojmenoval zpilsob leeeni, uZitY u Army 0., katharsi", t. j. "oeist'ovanim". Tento zptisob vyZadoval schopnosti pacienta bYt hypnotisovan a moZnosti ye stavu hluboke hypnosy znoy uproZiti "usktinutYch" afektil. Lide vitbec a tee psychoneurotikove nejsou nadant stejnou schopnosti upadati do hypnosy a v innoha ptipadech jsou hypnose nepristupm. Proto se Freud rozhodl k pekusu leciti psychoneurotiky y e stavu bdelern. "Slo o to, dovedet se od nemocneho nem co nevedel ani lekat, ani on sam." Psychoneuroticky ptiznak jest pte, ce podminen amnesii. Freud v gak vzpornnel, ze mistr hypnosy, profesor Bernhelm, u nehoZ v Nancy studoval hypnosu, delaval tento pokus: Hypnotisoval Oloveka, natizoval mu posthypnotickou amnesii (mezeru pameti) a pak,. kdy2 hypnotika probudil, tazal se ho na ky v somnambulnim stavu. ProbuzenY nic nevedel, Bo.rnheim v gak nalehal, ze piece vi, a tu se hypnotikovi nejdfive nejasne, pak lasneji vracely vzpominky na to, co bylo s nim v somnambulismu podnikano, aZ vedel v g e.cko, jako by _vubec nernel posthypnotickou amnesii. A tak zaeal i Freud tvrditi svym pacientin, ze si vzpomenou na to, co proZili a po tern chorobnY ptiznak vznikl. Nalehal na ne, ze to vedi, ze staai jenom promluviti, a dokonce se odvaZil tvrzcni, ze vzpominha, ktera jim prvni piijde na mysl, bude to prava. Opravdu se Freudovi podatilo timto zpitsobem dovedeti se od psychoneurotikti to, co potieboval, aby nalezl vztah mezi zdanlive zapomenutYmi zaZitky, ktere ptiznak vyvolaly, a terni ptiznaky, ktere po nich zbyly, bez pouZiti hypnosy.
