AGITACE TRE111 SMERY ACINAME-LI rozhovor o nejakem Z pkedmetu, je zahodno miti jakousi spoleenou pfedstavu o veci, kterou chceme diskusi rozebirati. Tedy napked si povezme, co je agitace.

Ve smyslu vaeobecnem povalujeme agitaci jako prisobeni ye prospech nebo v neprospech jiste veci. KdyZ agitujeme, pracujeme k rozaikeni nebo potlaeeni jisteho nazoru, hnuti, sympatie nebo nalady pro ureitou myglenku. Kdyz agitujeme pro bratrske pojiat'ovani, pracujeme k tomu cili, abychom pfesvedeili svoje pfatele, zname a spoluobeany, ze bratrske 2ivotni pojiat'ovani je vec 2adouci a potfebna.

V prvnich tficeti letech pasobeni nagi SPJST provadeli jsme agitaci pouze jednim smerem. Kdy'Z se zalohl mistni fad, elenove onoho fadu do gli k sousedovi nebo zajeli si ku krajanovi a zaeali s nim rnluviti o vYhodach Zivotniho pojiateni.

Kdy2 takovY eekatel byl oznamen ye schuzi, Ze si preje stati se elenem, a kdy ncdostal vice neZ pet eernYch kulieek pii tajnem hlasovani, byl nektery Glen ustanoven, aby s eekatelem gel k lekafi. Pak eekatel zaplatil dva nebo az etyki dolary do pokladny rnistniho kadu jako vstupne, a byl okazale uveden v nektere nastavajici faclove schuzi. Mezi mnohyrni pokyny, ktere mu pki vstupu do spolku byly -vyjmenovany, bylo take pkipomenuti, ze musi se snaMti, aby mistni spolek rostl, nebo aby pasobil ve prospech spolku, aby pravidelne nav gtevoval radove schnze a aby ziskaval . pro mistni rad dalnove eleny.

Po triceti letech poznali jsme, ze samotna agitace Clem nestadi. Zavedli jsme organisatory, tedy eleny, kteri men byti schopnejsi rnluviti ye prospech bratrskeho zivotn.ho pojigt'ovani. se nektefi. Tern jsme dali poplatkovou tabulku, hrst listin, stisk ruky a poslali jsme je agitovat. Kdo nemel filipa, tame], ani atesti.

Uplynulo dalgich -petadvacet rokt. Nechali jsme si natisknouti ahlednejai kni&y platebnich tabulek, odstranili

jsme v nekterYkch pkipadech lekakskou prohlidku, zavedli jsme si lepai vyber certifikata, a aby organisator sve listiny nespinil v kapse, koupili jsme pro neho pouzdro z lacine katae: "Ba a pracuj, neochabuj a pracuj, vysvetli lidem, co kaIda pojistka stoji, mluv k nim, az podepiai listinu, a pak je bled' dostati k lekati. To je vgecko, co potfebujea, abys mel spech."

TakovYm zpasobein jsme zdvojnasobili poeet svYch Clem. Vaichni uznavarne, agitace organisatora byla tainnejai ne2 agitace elena nebo jen nasledkem nalary a nadaeni, ktere elenove naeerpali ye schazich. Co schaze nedokazaly vykonati, melo byti nahrazeno praci organisatora.

Ubehlo padesat let. Ubehle petapadesat let. Mezery, ktere povstaly odchodem tech snaZivYch, zacaly byti citelne pod.t'ovany. Schaze pfestaly pfitahovati, organisatoki nemeli dosti atesti, bude nutno zrevidovati celou agitaci. Dnes stojirne pied velikYm otaznikem, co dalaiho bychom men podniknouti. Napa,da nam, povstale mezery by mely byti vypineny, bate take budouci mezery by mely byti vzaty v avahu hned dnes. Zaeiname si vaimati omladiny a deti.

Dnes nage agitace by mela byti vedena vaemi tfemi smery: lepaimi schtzemi, vycvieenYmi organisatory a zapojenim deti a omladiny do spolkove prace. Tedy schaze, organisatoti a detskY odbor jsou nagimi agitaenimi prostredky.

V prede g lem disle Vestniku bylo vysvetleno, jakym zpitsobein ziskali jsme dobrou spolkovou silu pro vedeni detskYch programtl. Sestra Birdie Hilsherova zajiste se vysnasnaM, aby svitj fikol provadela dle svYch nejlepSich sil. Schopnosti k tomu ma. Bude pOttebovati porozumeni a ochoty jinYch, aby plany jeji byly provadeny. Distrikty a distriktni schnze mohou v tomto agitaenim srneru velice vypomoci sestre HilsheroVe. Na jinem miste v tomto disle je referat o zlepSeni na gi agitaeni einnosti druhYm smerem. Zaklad k tomu byl dan poslednim sjezdu, kdy bylo usneseno, aby

Hlavni atadovna• zahajila organisatorske kursy. Prvnl organisatorska kola byla 30. listopadu v Rosenbergu. Je tedy jiste, ze dva smery organisaani prace omladiria a organisatai — pfinesou brzy vYsledky sveho pasobeni.

ZbYva nam tketi agitaeni miner, totit fadove schaze, ktere musime nejakyrn zazraenYm zpasobem pkivesti k Lvotu. asto se piae, zvlaate ted', kdy'Z kadovi tajemnici oznamuji vYroeni schaze, ze navateva schuzi upada.. V gichni mame na torn stejnou vinu, Hlavni tiadovna, domad. lady a take domaci aleni.

Bude ti-eba, abychom tomuto ttetimu mem agitace venovali vice pozornosti.

Snad bude Mdoucno, aby Hlavni afadovna ye sve pkigti pravidelne schuzi venovala tomuto bodu trochu sveho drahocenneho easu. A nermUe-li Hlavni akadovna venovati domacim factam a jejich schazim zadouci pozornost, nejaka, kontrola nebo jakasi zdravotni prohlidka mohla by byti vyplanovana, v distriktnich schnzich.

Situace radovYch schuzi vS'ak neni beznadejna. Pokud vim, jsou jen asi dva nebo tki mistni tady, o nichz bych pochyboval ze se vzkfisi. Neni vaak treba nikoho prohlagovat za mrtveho, dokud dYcha.

I tyto dva, tfi neeinne lady mohou nas pfekvapiti svYm probuzenim. Budou ale potiebovati pornoci odjinud. Bude treba, aby nekterY hlavni Urednik, pozdeji statni organisator nebo distriktni organisator, vypomohl u ta,koveho radu, kde pomoci a rady je treba.

Jine bratrske organisace maji prostredky na udr2eni pravidelnYch spolkovYch schtlzi. Je prekvapenirn pro nas, ze nektere bratrske spolky maji sve schnze kahlY tYden nebo dvakrat do mesice. Jejich schtze jsou v gak vedeny jinYin zptlsobem nez jsou na ge schtlze, co2 neznamena, ze bychom moll sve zrnenit, ale moth bychom nee° zlepgiti.

Radil jsem v jedne distriktni schtizi, aby se , pomYglelo na to, by naSim mistnim (Pokraeovani na strant. 4.)

Tak ji2 pfiai nedeli na g fad kona vYroeni schtlzi, jak bylo elenstvu oznameno patovnim listkem bratrem tajemnikern BfiS'tikem. VYroani schilze jsou dulelitymi, jelikoZ v nich jsou voleni vedouci Ofednici pro nastavajici rok, kteri jej budou fidit dle yule elenstva a pro prospech fadu. JeZto fad Pokrok Houstonu je poeetne velnn silnYm a vladne znaenYm majetkem, je Zadoucno, aby zvolene douci sily na jejich bedrach bode spoeivati velka zodpovednost v fizeni a spry ve fadu, byli pro to zptitsobilYmi, AZ dosud men jsme ve vedoucich einitelich schopne a sve zodpovednosti si vedome Ofedniky, s nimiZ jsme byli spokojeni a jiste je naSim pfanim, aby tomu bylo tak i naddle.

Ani mile se ty cesty tam nelibily, do kopce a s kopce ulice. Byla jsem u Vag Avakrove Hedviky Casse hostem a ta mne vzala do schfize damskeho krou2ku, jenZ' ji poradal v domove u profesora F. Monka v Berkeley, a do Sokolovny mne vzala.

Byla jsem tam v roce 1943 navAtevou u naaeho syna a jeho manZelky, kdy za valky byl tarn v namornicke slune. Pobyla jsem tam deset dni a kaklY den jsme projadeli jina mista v okoli. V$ak jsem tenkrate ten zajezd tam ye Vestniku popsala. Take jsem cestovala s Vaud k Niagara Falls v Kanade, kde jsem s mankli NesudovYmi byla v roku 1950. Take jsem ten zajezd popsala, ale leli dosud v pliku a do verejnosti se nedostal. Popsala jste svoji cestu velmi zajimave, tak jako pan A. Kopedek z Ennis "Letdlem do Mexika". I v Mexiku jsem byla na mnoha mistech v roku 1947 s moji pritelkyni pi.

Pan na Ceske iece Roman prvniho Oecha v Americe

Governer zatim v sve pracovne "IJkLi jim, vytrhnu na ne!" krieel a v zapeti se ozval zvuk, dolore povedcmY po celem dome. To Jeho Excelence bila okovanou di even= nohow do nevinneho inventare.

"Maria Panno, jeAte si oblr-21!" Lekala se pani Bayardova. A druha mySlenka. ktera, ji kmitla hlavou, byla: "Thhle se bez Hermana neobejde!" I ponechala dalAi starost o oba posly eernYm kucharkarn a sama zmizela v svem pokoji.

Vdova dobre scudila. Excelence se vybou •ila. Po chvilce se oteviely dveie pracovny a na chodbe se objevil sekretat van Flat.

"Kam pak, pane Elate?" prittteila se pani Bayardova k muZiekovi v sametu.

Obratil se k ni nahnevane se cukajici oblieej.

"K Hermanovi, k bankrotari Heimanovi, 'madame ..

"Vy sam?"

"Vidite! Sekretat Jeho Excelence aby po:sliekcval!"

"Ale, pane Elate, jiste bezi o velkou statni' zalelitost "a to yyZaduje primeFelten° nate . . ."

"To ano, madame. Vec je, abych tak rekl historicka."

"No, vidite. A je to tak nalehave?"

"Velice, madame. Pan bankrotat ma Excelenci okainZite navgtivil."

"Ale jak' bankrotar, pane Elate, kdyl„ pan Hetmanovi jeSte hodne zbylo a kdyl se mu zase dobre vede. Clcvek druhu Hermana nebankrotuje nikdy . . ."

Sekrtat cosi zasyeel, uklonil se a spechal z domu. Popohnaly ho kovove dery, je2 se za dvermi Herman prijde . . Hezka Zena citila, jak se ji srdce pozboklo. Kra,savec, gen. tleman! Jeho oCi, knirky, kniZeci kadere, jeho postava! A co2, jeho hlas — zvuenY a melodicky!Jeho duchapinost, moudrost, jeho vedomosti a zaliba v umeni!

Z Amsterodamu objednal spinet pro Jannetu a sam hraje na nastroji jako pravY hudebnik . . Putieka Janneta nevi. oc ma. Mohl ji staeit jinY, prost4 muZ, jehoZ by vice Ulla. A Herman mohl bYt jeji. Jen ona zna potreby takoveho muze a dovedla by mu klestit cesty k vzestupu a rozrnachu, pro neZ je ,stvoren.

Pani Bayardova se zardivala vzuknim divenky a zase bledla. Jenom s namahou se ovladala. Sahla po kapesnieku, aby si ottela slzy. Prolila jich ji2 tolik a prece jeSte nevyschly. Jako kdyZ jarni bri-

Chodba znovu ozivla. Dvoji krck. Jeden pru'z'nV a jars', druh9- drobn' a Hetman a Flat prichazeji. Oba spolu — to se po meste a po nabreli asi a naohliZeli.

Pani Bayardova si mimovolne sahla na riadra k srdel. JakS, to elovek v tomtc koute dloohYch d'mek a ptejedeneho jak' vkusnY zjev mezi zdejS'imi pomaekaiaymi kabAy a vytahanSimi cosy a epicimi tabakem!

Vedela, ze ji van Flat, ten olizl', fale§nV tvor • spatp , nemohla se v'Sak.. premoci. S dobie vypoetenYm krtiekern se na chodbe setkala s nim — s Hermanem.

Ponorila do neho svuj hork', ZadostivY zrak a ovala ho vuni vybraneho parilskeho parfumu. Usmala se- na, neho Srastile a podmanive s neovladatelnosti vaSnive Zeny a s tivotnosti kypre vdovy.

Herman se s prijemnou zdvorilosti klonil a dvcrne polibil horkou rueku.

"K ndm, k nam, pane Heimane? Jake prekvapeni!"

"K Jeho Excelenci a nalehave .

"Obavate se, ze vas chci zdrkovat? Ale jen tak vas nepustim. Jiste neodmitnete, az vyridite voci s Petrem, Cerne kavy. Zvu vas."

A Usmala se Usmevern tak blaZenYm a odzbrojujicim, ze i such' van Flat.— hluchY klas mezi moZi -- se rozplYvave zachvel.

"Neodmitam, madame," odpovedel Herman zdrZenlive a piece zdvorile.

Jeho jednani s guvernerem nebylo dlouhe.

Oba sdileli tY2 nahled,Ie pripad novcamstelskY je velnejSi vS'ech dosavadnich. Kdyby Nove Hclandsko melo o delawarsk' breh, bylo by nalomeno v same pateri a pak by se o ne delil kdekdo — ConnecticutSti, PensylvanSti, VirginSti a Yankeeove vubec. S MarylandskYmi nutno jednat co nejrychleji, byka nutno vziti za rohy. Nutnc predeljqt1 jejich pripadnY svemocnY Mn. Herman nedoporuoil, aby posadka v Kazimiru byla zesilena. Mchlo by to b'ti vykladano za fin UtoonY, nena svem, bude tieba se odvolati k velplatelskY, MarylandSti• stati Ice rade. Marylandske je nutno co nejvice a co nejdele diplomaticky zamestnavat. Sraky s Indiany a se Svedy jscu pripady isoloVane. Jinak by vypadal spot s Anglii. V Evrope a .na morich Holandsko Anglii ustupuje. Zapadoindicka upada do vetSich a vetnesnazi. Vede valku jesich dnu za, druhou a pirati ji vydatne Sten Zilou. Governer predloZil Hermanovi obSirnou korespondenci Zapadoin4:deice a Generalnich state o tcm, jak se 9 nimi hrdli o kaZdy guilder. Doma ne-

"KelyZ jsem tahl na Kazimir" - 1. govern& vznetlive bil pesti do stole — "sehnal jsem sedm set moZtt jen proto, ze jsem po prve pouZit domaci milice, a zverboval kaaleho, kdo mel vlastni pu‘Sku. Zlaty van Cornam dobyl pevnosti sy Ymi vysmclenymi mechy! Nyni main vyrovnat fifty s Ricnimi Indiany -- ne, nemohu pottebovati tahanici s MarylandskYmi, kteri to mysli s velkou pra vdy !"

SvehlavY byl vSelijakY patron, Herman s nim vSak v telt) chvili mel uprimnY soucit. Kopance, ktere poctivY guverner dostava z domova, vraci, ale svYm poddanYm. Je nejschopnejM z tech, kteri pied nim sedeli na Timmerma,nove kresle, ale nepcchopeni, jimZ ho Castuje 'a.msterodantska, vrchncst, ho pripravuje o trpelivost a sdilnost, a proto nemitZ'e nadchnout americke Holand'any k CCdoucimu tvineima patriotismu. Misto toho vSak trhlina mezi novoholandskYm lidem a SvehlavYm poste. Herman nahledl nyni do teto trhliny hloubeji . .

"Prijimam, Execelence, a pujdu do Anne Arundelu!" iekl bez vahani. Jak mohl zouf ale osamoceneho, vladce Man-• hattanu opustit?

Governera drevend noha zarachotila na pocillaze spokojenosti.

"Vy a ja jsme byli ze v gech zdelSich lidi ve svete nejdale," konstatoval guverner, "my si prAo ye statnich vecech nejlepe rczumime. Jenom Skoda, Ze jste neslouill pod tim Gustavem Adolfem, jak to o vas tikaji. Mate u sebe mnoho civilniho a ptiliS' malo vojenskeho, to mi uptimne teeeno jaksi vadi. Ale abych nezapomnel: do Marylandu neintiZete jet sam, jako jste se pro nas bil samojedin' v Bastonu. Marylandskym se musime postavit. Musite miti, Hermane, spoleenika ..

"Me mineral, Excelence," souhlasil Herman.

"Ale koho?" Governer tenter zaapel. ptestal hladit drevo nohy a jeho prsty poCaly na nem nervosne bubnovat.

"Co byste rikal van Giesonovi? Jiste Coke, nekde pod okny mohl bych na neho zahvizdat Pohledy cbou se setkaly a oba vybuchli v smich.

"Mel bych navrh," ozval se Herman.

Governer prijal slava zvedave.

"Excelence snad bude znat mladeho meSt'ana Roselveda Waldrona. Prijel sem z vlasti neda yno. NaSe Ornery hrube nezna, ale yyzna se v Anglieanech —

Herman se uklonil.

V teZe chvili se ozvalo zaklepani. Do pokoje nahledla pani Bayardova.

"Hotovi?" otazala se pravem domaci pani. "Zvu pany na S'alek moharnedanske . . ."

Usedli v modrem salonku u kulateho viSnoveho stolku a nechali si posluSne nalevat. Governer sahl po dkince a v okaniZtku napinil mistnost obldeky mu.

"Vite-li, pane Heimane, ae je tomo jiZ dyanact let, kdy jsme se poznali na lodi?" zaeala pani Bayardova vzpominkotr.

Herman, treba mel v to chvili oei na rude pundoke zdrave nohy guvernera, pocitil prudkY Zeh v krvi. Sk yostna "2-ena tato vdova, obetujici se detem a bra trovi bez drobtu poZitku, po nemZ mueive void stejne jeji duch jako telo. Zapadla sem na kraj divoke pevniny mezi laj obyeejnYch lidi a dobrodrulan, obetujic sva drahocenna leta vyzravajici Zeny povinnost, jiZ sotva kterY historik vzpomene. Sladka bytost v okouzlujicim obahr h.edvabi, hluboka, vzdeland duk s poklady ienske milostnosti. Hovory s ni ptinakly Hermanovi vZcly stejne Naha ducha jako krve. Konavali spolu imaginarni prochazky evropskYmi salo ny a probirali kulturni odalosti sveta, vzcialeneho pies cela more. Herman ctil a syYm zpitsobem i zboZrioval tuto Zeno — jake sotva bylo clruhe na civilisovanem okraji tohoto Novella sveta. A piece mu bylo jasno, ze je usouzeno, aby mezi nimi obema nikdy nebylo Meeho vice ne2li blaZene spoleeenstvi ducha.

Rozvinil na ramenou sve leskle havrani kadere, zvedl zpod mocnelao *eerneho oboei svitj moudrY temnY zrak, a op rev jej mime a Setrne na tvar, jeZ volala po milujicich mu2skYch rtech, vYznarnne odpove.clel: "Ano, madame — opravclu uz utekl hezky eas od to doby, kdy jsme sem pripluli pod plachtami "Jannetje" . .

Jezdci i kale byli ye chvili na palube.

Uvitala je eistota a jakYsi svateeni poradek. DvojsteZnik se py'Snil, ze poveze poselstvo Jeho Excelence Stuyvesar4a.

Byl to Joristiv "HudsonskY bobr", jen mel tentokrate plouti po vodach Delaware. Poselstvo meld z lodi vystoupit aZ na hornim toku reky, aby mei° do marylanclskeho Anne Arundelu u po sooSi co nejkratk cestu.

Rozbresk zachycoval dospavajici mesteeko na Manhattanu ji2 jen z dalky.

Vypadalo jako kopeeek najeZenYch stri§ek. Jen mikuldSskY kostelik, pevnost a vetrnY mlYn bylo lze rozeznat.

Herman by byl moll' se zavazanYma ceima naortnout panorama tato residence — tak mei red tuto manhattanskou vYspu a tak hluboce se mu vryla v pamet', kdyZ jeji obraz kreslil pro Vickersovu mapu.

Neni to snad prezdivka ze zavisti, ale ze to staveni je protahle jako jeho tlustY sty nos . . .

Slunce opra ydu poealo zahy pripalovat. Pod plachtami vypadaly jako rozvekne pradlo bon ---- se vAak sedelo prijemne. Tim prijemneji, ae "Hudsonsky bobr" zanechaval za sebou znanae pobreli a Ze se ohla goval kaleidoskop nedotoene divoke prirodY. PobrezI pevniny bylo jen ridce zalidneno to a tam rybarskon chatou a zmenilo se v neprehledne baZiny. kciy2 se pribiizllo k Usti reky Delaware, rortaknernu jako chrtan fantasticke obludy. Jeji yody se valily klidne do oceanu a lod' molzla za prizniveho vetru plout proti proudu reky.

Vnitrozemi se zprvu ohlasilo hockamixonskynn skalami. Pak Scenerii Utesti vystridala appalachianska planina jako nova earovna nota. Na vSech stranach pojednou jas a rajske plesani. Zvuei a hude tisice ptaeich hiasu, nevett skromnYch a neviditelnYch at' v bujnYch travinach, at' v laustYch clonach pralesa.

Mihaly se to velebne volavky, chtive po,spichajici kormorani a na modre obloze trceli jako nellY.bne teeky °Hove.

Vzduch jakoby skrYval cele pletivo neviditelnYch strun — to cikddy! Z wigwamti pri brezich vychazeji •ivai, •a 0pirajice se jednou rukou o luk, cloni si druhou zrak, podivujice se majestatni lodi.

Jako by tisice vaSnivYch smyecti krepeilo na vlaseenYch strunach.

Pod plachtami "Hudsonskeho bcbra" bylo dlouho naboZne ticho. Avak cil se blilil a pi4ipouta yal podvedomi.

"Kdo je Utie?" otazal se Herman pojednou krajana a kapitana Jorise, Uprchlo jiz deset let od onoho dne, kdy se seznamili a dornluvili. Za to dobu se Heiman nejednou pollen od sveho tele, v nemZ objevil povahu hloubavou a ducha, pismackeho.

"Myslil bych, priteli, Ie ho znaS z Virginie . ."

"Nadpak?"

"Nae? Treba no to, ze jsem cosi slychayal o narocicla Virginie na Maryland."

"Byly takove naroky," potvrzoval Joris, jemua uSlo, ae Herman obraci hovor "fizemi Marylandu pattilolotiZ pied Calvertem k virginske kolonii, ktere dia od roku 1609 LondYnska spoleenost..

Kral ovkin mel pravo bez ohledu na to Pritknouti Maryland Calvertovi. To melo sve nasledky. V Marylandu zatim nebylo stalYch sidel. Teprve jeden z delta virginske spoleenosti si otevrel stanici pro obchodovani s Indiany na ostro ye Kentu a zahy i na Painiero ye °strove pri Usti ieky Susquehanny. Byl to William ClaybOrne, jenZ bYval tea sekretarem tedene spoleenosti. Nekdy v rode 1631 ziskal tento Clayborne od Karla I. licenci pro obchod s koleSinami a s jinYm zboZim na celern pobreli t 'v takovYch dastech Ameriky nebo v jejich blizkosti, pro ktere jeSte nebyl udelen patent k provozoyani obchodu". KdyZ lord Baltimore nodal itplatnovati svou pravomoc nad ostrovem Kentem, ktery leZel temer uprostred sameho Marylandu, i nad druhYm ostrovein, Clayborne se proti tomu postavil. A opiraje se stale o virginske organy, s nun drZici, jal se popuzovati Indiany proti novy obyvateltim Marylandu. Vylidil je rudochtim jako Bpanely, kteri jsou neprateli Anglieanti a kteri prisli, aby je --rudochy oloupili. To VSak, selhalo, poneva& koloniste, kteri prijeli do zeme na dvou neVelkYch plachetnicich jedna se jmenoyala "Archa" a druha "Holubice" -- se chovali k Indiantim obezrele a poctive.

chod s nami," usuzoval Waldron. Herman, jenZ si nepral, aby Joris preruM1 sve vYklarly, se otazal: "Kernel snad Clayborne prsty ve valce roku 1655?"

Pritel prisYedeil.

"Byla by to dloulta historie. Pokud vim, VirginSti vypravili roku 1652 valeene lod'styo a jistou armada do Marylandu. Nekdy z jara se obje yili nahle pied Svatou Mari, sidlem ylacly, jell bylo zaloleno pionyry "Archy" a "Holubice" v voce 1632.

"Je Claybormiv vliv v Marylandu vyv'izen?"

"Zdaleka ne," odvetil Joris. "Nelze poehybovat, ae do vnithiich pomert stale zasahuje a ze mu nekteri bide slouZi nebo toho vyti'Zivaji."

"Coll abychom radeji vyhledall jeho neZ van Fendala?"

Herman za yrtel hlavou nad myAlenkou Waldronoyou.

"Zasadne bychom chybili," pravil, "kdybychom svoji yec chteli spojit s vnittnimi spory a zalelitostmi MarilandskYch. 1VIusime yyjednavati s legalnimi oinitell a spolehati se na vlastni pra y°.

Waldron se chystal je gte k jakesi namitce, aySak v to chvili byla pozornost ySech obracena jinam. Indianske Cluny zatim dostihly loch. Ba co vice: "Huclsonskeho bobra" obklieovaly a zaujimaly hrozive postaveni. Kapitan a Heiman s prekyapenim shledali, ae ze elunu jsou na lod' bojovne namireny luky a Aiply.

reports from Lodges, biographies, etc., intended for publication, must be in the hands of the Editor a week before the date of issue.Ad7., dress 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 THESE LINES ARE addressed to those SPJST members Who are young in their thoughts and feel a bit of happiness in their hearts. These lines are written in the belief that within such members lie potentialities for enriching experience and stimulating growth which can be of great value to the individuals as well as to the SPJST. I am looking for volWould later qualify to be leaders in our unteers and part-time workers who local lodges.

THE FIRST QUESTION you might well ask is, What do you wish me to do?

I may take up your proposition but I don't really understand what is going on in the local SPJST lodge, so how can I be a volunteer? It is the purpose of these lines to explain what is needed, how you can help, how you can get plenty of enjoyment, and at the same time grow in experience by working ,within a group.

• EVERY NORMAL PERSON is continually searching for enjoyment — the chance to experience those achievement of life for which money is earned and work is done. Every normal person wishes to use his spare time for new experiences, which is another way of saying that everybody has a desire to learn.

The more fun a child or a youth has in learning, the easier the process of acquiring new knowledge and new experience. Also every normal person wishes to express his thoughts freely in 'a group of his equal. These three dominant desires —to search for enjoyment, to learn, and to be free within one's group — will be stimulated and assisted in the local SPJST lodges.

• • ONE CONDITION HAS TO BE complied with, however, before you are accepted as a part-time worker or a volunteer. You must tell some member that you are willing to give yourself a trial.

The members who assemble every month in a regular meeting must find out about you that you are willing. If you are riot a memi•er of the local SPJST, and you are willing to help, they will lot you. If you are an SPJST member,

you can come to the next meeting without invitation. You have a right to be there.

• • THOSE OF YOU who are SPJST members are at this time invited by the editor and by your own officers to attend the annual meeting. If the annual meeting of your lodge was held either in November or the first Sunday in December, try to attend the following meeting. The lodge will appoint various committees and lodge functionaries and the lodge : very seldom selects a member who is not present. You have to be in the meeting to be appointed on a committee or to be given an assignment.

• • RIGHT AT PRESENT your lodge is looking for a young member, either a boy or a girl; who would accept the jOb of local reporter to the Vestnik. Any member from eighteen up can make a splendid reporter after getting a list of instructions from the editor. The list of instructions what to observe . and what to report will be sent to you by the editor of the Vestnik just for asking. But you must ask for the job of local reporter.

Then your name will be in the paper as often as you choose or please.

•

•

IF YOU ARE past twenty-one and have completed high school, the Supreme Lodge has a • splendid offer for you. Maybe you are looking for a good job. The Supreme Lodge is looking for young members who wish to take a short course in selling fraternal life insurance. The SPJST needs at least thirty young people. You would be trained. The training course is designed to explain the underlying principles on which the science of life insurance is founded. You would attend classes and lectures on these topics. After you get the technical and theoretical foundation I you would go in the field with an experienced officer and actually observe him how he explains the fraternal insurance, how he secures the application, arranges for the medical examination and how he offers the humanitarian service and brotherly love to the people of your community.

AS ALREADY STATED, these lines are written for those who feel young in heart and are young in mind. We need young volunteers. The eyes of the nation and the whole world are centered on the youth of today as never. before. We did send them to Europe, Australia, Philippines and Japan, we now have them in Korea. We can use them in our lodges, too. We need them to carry on our work. It is an absolute necessity that we get them interested in our fraternal work. It is the great plan of nature — to supplant the old with fresh new growth.

HOW CAN WE better carry out the purpose of our SPJST than through the young people who are still in the character building ages? We are to promote moral, cultural and economic progress.

How can we better do it than by promoting the activities among the younger members? The field is limitless and the opportunity is ours. We have only to find some practical ways of carrying it out. We have only to take advantage of the opportunity and work with our children and younger members. Why do you suppose the whole world is working with young people, getting the young boys and girls interested in sports, entertainment, business, and even politics?

It is the training of youth along certain lines to carry on in future. a • THE INBORN URGE to get together, to form a group, to work in a group, may be said to be almost a basic human instinct. All human life falls back upon this basic ability to organize and to work and play together. It may seem a far cry from the group of little boys who start to play on a poorly-lit stage of our hall to the Hall of Representatives in the Capitol of the United States.

But it has happened. A supreme vicepresident of one of our Czech fraternal societies is a shining example of that training. Many future leaders of political and social life are getting their first experience in the team work offered to them in our lodges.

THE ONE EYED MILITARY GENIUS OF THE HUSSITE, WARS When Charles IV, of Bohemia, passed away -on November 29, 1378, an anxious father -stood by the cradle of his son in , Bohemia,wondered what fate had in store for his !offspring. Little did he realize that his son, who was born under an oak tree, would someday become a general who would have his name stamped in history as one of the greatest military leaders of all time.

When the child grew up, he attended school in Prachatice where he befiended Jan Hus, who was to become a religious and social reformer. Jan Zizka, as he was called, grew very fond of Ho , , and was later to carry on one of the most spectacular battles on his behalf.

After he reached the adult stage, Jan went to fight for the Polish king against the Teutonic Knights, who he defeated at the' Battle of Grunewald in 1410. It was after that battle that he b2came leader of the Hussites against the "Crusaders" who came from all parts of Europe to exterminate the followers of . the martyred Hus, who died at the stake at Constance in 1415.

The warrior united military genius to religions fervour and his troops included v,r omen and children and were arried with crude spiked flails or other weapOris converted from agricultural implements used at that time. His fearless attitude won him enmity of powerful reactionaries and these were behind the "armed missionaries," who were mostly unemployed soldiers of fortune seeking merely profit or the thrill of adventure in a foreign laud.

The modern tank may be credited to the clever brain of the Hussite loader, who invented new methods of warfare to prevent the crusaders from looting his country.

It was during one of his great battles, when his army was defending an important hill, that he packed a few we gons, covered with iron, with heavy rods and sent them speeding down the hill- through the ranks of the surprised enemy which he disorganized by the unexpected maneuver. So effective was this move that Zizka employed it continually. When attacked in the open, he would have the wagons drawn into a circle for defense.

Zizka lost one eye at the begining of his military career and the other in July, - 1421, during an attack and seige of the castle Rabi, when an arrow shot from a crossbow on the castle walls hit him while he was directing the operations from his horse. Despite the fact

A little known story of Jan Zizka from Trocnov, inventor of the armoured wagon which is considered the forerunner of the tank and use his inspired strategy led his army to victories.

By Jaroslav F. Chntelicek that he was totally blind, he nevertheless remained a poWerful and very shrewd leader whose strategy and cunning crushed overwhelming numbers of invading armies gquipped with the best of weapons. His own army was composed of peasants, who had meager protection, but a spirit to fight for their homeland.

When attack was eminent, or the enemy was to be advanced upon by Zizka's armies, his people would sing the Hussite Battle Hymn, which often made the Crusaders turn and leave the field in terror of the warriors that knew no fear. The Hussites sang their song with such enthusiasm and earnestness, that it seemed as if a terrible cloud of doom was sweeping upon the foe. They sang: "0 Ye warriers of the Lord God of his law and justice For his help pray never ceasing In faith and in such hope That he shall give at last a crown of Glory.

"Of your foes he ne'er in terror.

Many though there may be, In your heart keep but the lord God For whom ye do battle.

Ne'er shall ye flee nor yield before en CM es.

"Ever hold fast to your watchword Which you vowed to obey.

Heed your leaders, heed their bidding Let each help his brother, Upright and firm stand as one man together.

"March away and shout with gaiety: "Hurra, beat Thy enemies!"

Make your arms enjoy your weapons, "God, our Lord!" keep shouting.

Kill them, blot them out, let nobody survive!"

Once while he was on a mountain, with the enemy encamped below, waiting for daybreak to launch an attack, Zizka had his soldiers build a huge bonfire and then ordered them to paxad before it so that the Silhouettes could be seen. The Crusaders below counted the soldiers and since they had arrived toward evening and now knowing the actual number of Zizka's forces, soon drew away. The numbers were over-

whelming to their leaders. Actually, Zizka was in need of reinforcements at that time and any attack upon his forces would have been a tremendous loss of men. So, cunningly, he counted on psychology of fear, and had his men March around the fire. The enemy below, of course, did not know that they were counting the same soldiers and wagons — and thus another victory fell to Zizka.

He directed his army totally blind and seemed to know exactly how to place his defense or attack, after his lieutenants outlined to him where they were and the terrain before them. There is no other such example in the annals of history. His people were loyal and had complete faith in his decisions and leadership. He died of plague, October 11, 1424, never having lost a single battle in his whole life, a remarkable achievement for any general.

There is a legend of Zizka's drum, which the indomitable old man insisted should be made and covered with his skin after his death, so that he could still lead and inspire his people to victory.

MEMORY OF MY SISTER (By Mrs. Emil Lanice10 What can we do since she left us.

CHRISTMAS CARD IS 100 YEARS OLD Light up 100 candles for America's first Christmas card!

As your school-age children start theh Christmas greeting card project for mom and dad, and the rest of us began once again to make out that annual list of friends to be remembered in the approaching season, the small printed remembrance that often serves as the only contact during the year between distance-separated friends is marking its first centennial as an American custom.

In this Christmas season of 1952, some 150,000,000 Americans will have their choice of over 25,000 different greeting cards to merrily greet their fellow Americans in the true spirit of the yuletide.

Many beautlful holiday scenes, are reproduced on sheets of translucent plastic in this year's greeting cards. Forming cover pages, they give a striking third dimensional effect with hazy background hues softening the luminous glow of vivid colors on plastic.

There's a remarkable variety of card designs taken from Kodachrome originals with Christmas tree ornaments, holly wreaths, pine cones, beribboned church bells and many other "still life" subjects appearing. Some are covered with a clear lacquer finish that brings out the most minute details.

Equally new and distinctive are the many inspiring scenes that appear in warm candlelight colors on embossed foil . . . Christmas shoppers pausing in their rounds before a toy store window, the infant Jesus in the manger at Bethlehem.

What's more, there are cards which serve a dual purpose—some bear special greetings for those whose birthday falls on Christmas Day, and others are appro7 priate for those in mourning who naturally still wish to remember their friends in this usually joyful season.

If you're planning to send gifts of money, there are clever wallet-shaped cards. A few cut out angel and Santa cards have colored yarn attached so they may dangle from your Christmas tree.

Christmas cards with reverent themes of course, are perennial favorites. In fact, it's encouraging to note that their popularity has more than doubled in the past five years. This year those with famous religious paintings from the Renaissance, gentle Madonnas, the Christ child, the Three Wise Men, and Nativity scenes are in greatest demand.

Christmas cards keyed in a more informal note are also very popular for the yuletide season.

The greeting card has conic a long way

from its first inception when it was first come a full-fledged necessity uniting the a business card, then a novelty. Always people of the world—wherever they may offering a warm hello, a handshake, a be —in the precious bond of goodwill and smile, or words of comfort to those it fellowship that is the very spirit of Amergreets in the sender's name, it has be- ha.

TIDBITS (By Otto Stehlik) Sweet Potatoes: Back yard potato planter- aims at 40 pounds per hill. In this Way more than 100 bushell can be produced 'per 'acre, by planting whole potatoes that have been sprouted in water. Recently he dug up two hills in his back yard that were planted in this manner; the two hills produced 22 and 23 pounds; each filled a half bushel basket. 'Next year he expects to plant a whole acre, there are 2400 hills to an acre. Sandy loam land is recommended.

WHEAT: World Wheat Trade Seen as declining: A private forecaster predicted Monday that trading in world wheat will fall eff sharply during the next five years and the U. S. probably will be of-. fected.

Leslie A. Wheeler, a consultant for the International Federation of Agricultural Producers, said trade probably will average about 825,000,000 bushels a year at the most. The average in recent years has been 900,000,000 bushels, while before World War II, it was about 550,000,000 bushels.

The main reason for the predicted slump will be a shortage of dollars in the chief importing countries. Wheeler said many of these nations have been doing everything possible to expand home production and ease their import requirement.

Wheeler also noted that about onethird of the post-war international trade in wheat has been in the form of gifts or grants from exporting countries.

He said about 55 percent of the exports of U. S. wheat has been in this form.

The consultant described the interna-

tional wheat agreement as the one stabilizing element in the world wheat picture. He _warned that international trade in wheat may revert to a status of cut-throat competition unless the agreement is renewed before it expires next July 31.

DONATIONS: I have before me Boy's Ranch Magazine depicting boys life on Boy's Ranch, near Amarillo, conducted

by Col. Farley. There are about 200 boys on this ranch; these boys are there because of no homes. Just figure how much it costs to care for 200 boys, yet the cost is borne by donation, and when it comes to donations where are we?

You oldsters remember what hard work it was in raising enough money to erect a monument for Judge Haidusek. How about Moucka Memorial? The Sons of Herman have a home for the aged at Comfort, Texas. Where are we? Folks, I can't help it. We are beating on the National "Kettle Drums" instead of getting down to the business of doing something. Now if we had $100,000.00 in Students' Loan Fund, just draw a picture of what we could do. , Loan this money to worthy students on their honor and the recommendation of Local Lodge, at the rate of five per, cent. (If the student must give security he can obtain loan from other sources.)) Experience shows that the losses do not amount to more than 2 to 5%. We have men among us who could give • $1000, why should I, an 8th grader, take such a stock? This is really the work forstudent association. Why are you asleep?

OAK ARM CHAIR. THAT IMPRISONS UNSUSPECTING PERSONS

in the home. The baffling part was that when a person seated himself in this chair, a seat-operated mechanism hides den in it went into action, releasing two ingeniously concealed iron bars, hidden in the arms, that came down, locked over the thighs and trapped the surprised guest. The chair was the center of attraction and works efficiently even today. Once the trap is srung, release from the heavy chair is impossible and assistance must be had in order to be released.

Throughout history, many armchairs have been recorded invented for various means of comfort, torture and curiosity, but perhaps none have aroused so much speculation as to its origin, as the strange oak armchair which was put up at an auction of old antiques in London in 1932, where it was also demonstrated. The chair was ornately carved and from all indications was for use

Patsy lcsarek, Vera Troubil and Doris Hruska dressed in Czechoslovakian. costumes.

Brother Charles Holasek, our new director in the Seventh District, sent for publication in the Vestnik the picture of this charming trio from Corpus Christi. About a month ago, the YWCA of Corpus Christi put on an unusual educati=onal program called the Fiesta of Nations. The program included music, songs and dances from Czechoslovakia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Mexico, Russia, the United States and the United Nations.

The program opened with a song "Ye Free Men of the World" by the interracial Chorus, followed by ten Greek dancers. Representing Hungary, Mrs. Vajda, an American-born lady, sang a group of folk songs in Hungarian language. This was followed by a lady pianist, born in White Russia, Miss Rose Seylanoff.

She was followed by Milo Luka, former Member of the Prague Grand Opera, in a group of bass-baritone solos. Luka sang , several Czech and Slovak fclk songs. During his singing, the three girls pictured above, Patsy Kosarek, -Vera Troubil and Doris Hruska, stood nearby in Native Czechoslovakian costumes.

The Czech group was the fifth number on the program,

There were altogether ten numbers , on the Fiesta of Nations program. The final number was given by thirty members of the Ray High School band who appeared in uniform to play march music and to accompany the entire ensemble in the singing of the United Nations song.

Proceeds from the Fiesta will help finance training of youth leaders in other lands.

The editor appreciates the thoughtfulness of Brother Charles Holasek for obtaining the picture cf the three Czech girls and of furnishing the details of the Fiesta. ) LODGE POKROK NO. 88 HOUSTON Our Annual Christmas Program will be given at our lodge at 20th and Studewood on the afternoon of the 21st of December at 4 p. in.

Now — we are working on a Xmas program dinner and dance. This social activity will fall on Sunday December 21st.

The dinner will be a "Jitrnice" one.

Our sisters are going to make them especially for you. These will be lots of them and you can carry some home for another meal. The dinner will be served at 12 noon. Then we shall play bingo and the program will begin at 6 p. m. with Santa Claus as our special guest, who is going to have surprise goodies for all children attending. Then at 8 o'clock we shall dance to the music of Henry Tannenburger's Accordion and his Play boys!

All of you are most cordially invited.

Then on December 31st we are going to dance the old year out and the new one in to the music of the Peska Brothers. There will be silly hats, horns, confetti and what have you? for a gala good time. So don't forget the time and date and help us welcome the New Year.

Many thanks again to all of you for making our bazaar a tremendous success and best of luck to all I am Fraternally yours, Amelia (Vaja) Sturm.

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Better run and grab your, easy chair right quick, Brother Editor, because here I come again with my three cents' worth.

First of all, I want to say "Thank you," Brother Editor, for publishing my firSt letter.

I must say that I was indeed very much surprised, Brother Editor, when yon' wrote in your remarks to my letter in the Czech sestion that you knew my mother. Where was that? In East.

Bernard? Or was it around Industry and Welcome? Dad said Mother used to live in those parts before moving to East Bernard. Dad said that he knowS Mr. Chupick. Sunday before last, on the 16th, motored on the Greyhound bus to the good ole East Bernard to see Dad and all • of my friends there: I also attended a bridal shower that evening honoring Miss Louise Hanzelka, bride-elect of Mr. Ben

MUM 2-1

Kovar, with my friends, Mrs. Joe Mikus Sr.. Mrs. Mikus is also a member of our Lodge down in East Bernard. There were about fifty . of us present at the shower.

The bride-to-be received many beautiful 'arid useful gifts. Incidentally, they Were married. this morning on the 25th, the day that I am scribbling this letter. I wish them the best of luck- in their married life. We are neighbors with the grooms' mother, and one time neighbors of the bride and her folks. They are very nice people.

It usually rains every time I go to East Bernard, but this time it held, out. Instead of rain, the wind took, over and was blowing to "beat the band." I went to the cemetery to brother Frank's grave and Mother's grave, and thought surely the wind would blow me out. I didn't get to make it on All Souls Day, so I went that Sunday instead. Our cemetery really was cleaned up nice and had some very beautiful flowers placed on the graves. They were still pretty even if it had already rained on them. My grand,parents, Mr. and Mrs. Laitkep, also are both buried there and I have quite a few other relatives buried there. I guess yOu knew them too, didn't you, Brother Editor? ,(Yes, I used to liye at East BernarcLbefore coming to Houston. —Ed.) Oh .yes, regarding my last letter, some peoples called me up who used to be neighbors with Dad and my grandmother, Mrs. Anna Barborak, when they lived in Nada. That certainly did surprise me. What a small world! Goodness gratious! ` T: But- I have an apology to make to all of yon. Somehow or other, I either misplaced or lost your name and phone •umber that I wrote down after you ca.iledSo if you read my letter again, please call me when you find time. I 'won't misplace your phone this time.

Incidentally, if there are any more "Brothers and Sisters who knew Dad or my : grandmother, I would love to hear 'front everyone of you. I like to write anyway, so what difference does one little lettenmake?

Dad lost his father when he was about four years old. They lived in CzechosIoVakia' at that time. My grandfather Paul Barborak was a "hayny" in Czechoslovakia. liow do you call that in English, -Brother Editor? (The word "hajnY", pronounced high-knee, means a game-, keeper. --- Editor.) Dad came here with his widowed mother. She was married twice: Her first husband's name was Pewouldn't know his giyen name.

Dad has two sisters, Mrs. Rosalie Trcka, z_widoW who lives in Ganado, and Mrs. ,Rudolph Prihoda Sr., in Nada and also one half brother, Mr. Vine Pekar in Da-

ST, 'TEXAS mon. Mr. Pekar is also a musician, as Dad was, and also plays accordion.

My grandmother died of a stroke when I was about two or slightly older. She used to live with us. They tell me that little me was always hanging onto her skirt. I must have liked her. She is buried in the Catholic cemetery at Nada.

My mother had one brother, Mr. John Laitkep of East Bernard, and three sisters, Mrs. Frank Lanecek of Kirtley, near Smithville, Mrs. John Pilcik of Hungerford, and Mrs. Frank J. Pilcik Sr. of East Bernard. The latter mentioned took care of, me after my mother died until Dad remarried. They are also my godparents, as well as my late brother Frank's. I did not get to know my grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Laitkep, as they both died before I was born.

Last Saturday my girl-friend Victoria Bronikowski and myself stuffed a suitcase and headed on the Kerrville-bound bus for her home in Chapel Hill to see her sister Nancy for the weekend. I must say that we had a very swell week end, as we always, do even if it it did rain cats and dogs practically all the time while we were there And now a word to you, Brother Editor.

You claim that we know each other!

Well, I'll challenge you right back, Brother Editor. I could be wrong but I don't remember seeing you at my initiation. It was three of us initiated at that time by Brother Sefcik. But I still say that I don't remember seeing you. If yOu were there, I could have by chance overlooked you because I don't pay attention to men ( not much, anyway). So if you still claim that you did see me, then I beg your pardon, Brother Editor. And about that secret about my pencil, well, if it's something good, then out With it, Brother Editor, but if is not, then do as Slim Witman says "Keep it a secret."

Would write more but have to sign off for today, because—well, just because "it's in a book."

Fraternally yours, "that bashful blonde", Miss Lillie A. Barborak.

(Editor'S Note:--The other newspapers where you also have your contributions must have already given you a pretty rigid coaching in preparing a manuscript for publication. Many people,:much older than you are, don't know the difference between a note scribbled to a personal friend and a manuscript prepared for publication. It is indeed a pleasure to receive your well-written letter on the right size of white paper, in ink, with ample margins on the sides, written on one side only, well spaced, paragraphed and punctuated. Thanks.)

Decembe LODGE POIKROK HOUSTON NO. 88

Dear. Members: Last Sunday, November 30th, I attended a meeting of SPJST organizers, which was held in Rosenberg, Texas.

Brother Joe Zaludek invited Bro. John Starcala and me to accompany him in his car.. We heard some inspiring remarks from our Supreme Lodge President, Brother Edward L. Marek, and our Editor of Vestnik, Brother Stephen Valcik. We need more meetings of this kind to broaden our knowledge of the various plans that our Order has to offer for the purpose of increasing our membership.

Brother Valcik stated that the busineSs of selling insurance is now recognized as a profession, and that if one desires to be successful in this game he or she must put forth some serious effort in study and be most willing to be of Service to mankind. He also called attention to the fact that some people who call themselves professionals actually turn out to he "shysters" or "quacks." In my opinion such terms are given to those who claim a profession but actually know very little about it; on the other hand, a person may have full knowledge of his profession and, thru lack of personal interest in his fellow man, may misapply such knowledge for his immediate personal gain. If we are to be successful as organizers we first must learn to know what we are trying to talk about, act fairly, be truthful, and above all serve your prospect in stich a commendable manner that he will cherish your acquaintance or friendship to the extent that he will be proud of his membership in our Order and assist in soliciting other prospective members.

Incidentally, I have observed that many of our members have only $1,000 protection and I wonder whether such members carry any -additional insurance elswhere; if not, they should not procrastinate in aplying for more protection with our Order. Please remember that you cannot obtain insurance always just when you want it cr think you can afford to pay for it. You must be in good health at the time of application. People will say that they realize they need more protection for their families but cannot afford it at the present time -- perhaps next month or next year. Tomorrow may be too late. Why not take out additional protection with SPJST now when you have the opportunity to make payments on monthly basis. Also, please remember that you do not have to die to benefit from your SPJST protection; that after three years you can borrow on your certificate or apply for a paid

Wednesday, December 10, 1952 up certificate. In my opinion, everyone should carry enough insurance protection to cover at least one year's full salary or income. Under present conditions, $5,000 would not last very long if the breadwinner's income should stop. All ofr us should review the value of our estates 'and the future welfare of our families.

Why not call on one of your organizers who will be glad to assist you without obligation in planning your program.

The Annual Meeting of Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 will be held on SundaV, December 14th, beginning at 9:30 a. rn., and it is hoped that the membership will take advantage of this opportunity to be present at this important Meeting.

I have written several articles in our herald Vestnik recently and may not bore, you any more before the coming holiday season; therefore, . I take this opportunity to wish all members and friends A VERY MERRY QI4RISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. Fraternally yours, Albert Bristik, Secretary ) • d„ POKROK DALLAS LODGE NO. 84.

PODIVNA NEMOC Prosim te, etenati muj, iekni mi uptinme, jestli bys byl taky nezkoprnel, kdybys byl ye svern sedmem roku detskein slygel, ze nekdo "stonal ke klukovi?"

Vzpomnel jsem si zase jednou na to — a lide moudti pravi, ze je to znamenim zadina-li elovek easteji vzpominat.

A reeni toto, myslim, neni daleko od pravdy. Lee posly gte tu vzpominku.

Je tomu u2 pies gedesat rokt, ale mam to jegte porad v dobre pameti, jak jsem se prvne dozvedel, kdy ze byl v Praze poloten zakladni kamen ke stavbe nageho Narodniho divadla. flylo mi tenkrate neco pies osm roku, chodil jsem do tketi ttidy nasi obecne g koly a byl jsem kloudek snad uz neobydejne zvedavY,jak dal gi lieeni nade vgechny pochybnosti zjevne ukaZe. Stalo se jednoho dne, ze mtj dedeeek nekam ode g el, bud' k tete Pepiece nebo k nekteremu z mYch tti strYca, jeho synt; to byla g t'astna ptiletitost, na kterou jsem u2 dlouho eekal, i neme gkal jsem a jakmile ded zmizel za men gimi vratky nag eho dvora, vklouzl jsem rychle do jeho svetniaky.

Zahledl jsem neday no, jak si neco zapisoval do sveho notesu, ktery byl vevazan do jeho obgirne tobolky naprsni, jakYm se tenkrat tikalo " grajtofle", a kdy dopsa.1, pozoroval jsem, jak tu grajtofli, ktera byla z dervenave hnede kirk a skoro tak velika jako maj skolni kreslici seg it, peelive sloZil, otoell paskem, zapnul na pfezku a zavtel do slain& Od to chvile jsem nemel pokoje, notes mi stale tanul na mysli, videl jsem jej ve due v noci, vstavaje, lehaje, a moje a yeclavost se jittila a rozhotivala jako ohnieek na podzimni pasty& Co jen si tam asi dededek zapisoval, tak pornaloudku, s eastYmi ptestavkami, vypinenYmi ptemfglenim, a prod potom tu gra.jtofli i s notesem tak pedlive uschoval?

To byly otazky, jima jsem se v duchu u.staviene zamestnaval; vedel jsem uZ ze svych cletskych zku genosti, ze muj ded nebyl dlovek, ktery by delal neco marneho a beztleelneho, a mnohy jeho poein mne zprvu nepochopitelny, ukazal se potcleji byti zakladem neceho ptekvapujiciho a moudreho, co mne ptivadelo k nezapomenutelnYm a pouenYrn poznanim pro rely tivot.

Mys111 jsem na to doma i ye gkole, na ullei i v kostele, a ma zvedavost mi einila z teto zahady utkvelou my glenku, pro kterou jsem se nemohi ani ucit ulolenym ba ani si s byvalym nadgenim hrati s chlapci na eetniky a loupeZniky, coZ tenkrat bYvalo -nejmilej gi hrou roZmitalskYch chlapea.

(Napsal Rudolf R. Hofineister) Az nyni teprve se mi naskytla vhodna chvilka, kdy jsem mohl vniknoutl do dedeekova tajemstvi.

Skokem jsem byl v jeho pokojieku, sahl tam do tajne skrY ge, kam dedeeek ukryval klie, aby se mu nekdo cizi na jeho veci nedostal, otev'tel jsem jim sktin a zmocnil se eervene, kokne, statim u2 hodne ottele grajtofle, rozepjal jsem jeji pasek, rozloZil ji na sktin "vegkostn" — a tu se mi objevila zahadna kniZka s velkYm zlacenYm napisem: NOTES. Ted' ma notes kaZdfkloneek, sotva zaene chodit do gkoly, ale tenkrat byl notes neco velmi fictyhodneho, co meli jen bohati obchodnici anebo trhovi handliti; taky mne byl tehdy je gte nedim nedosttinYm, o eem jsem jen snil, ze si jej take potidim, aZ budu velkY a a2 budu mit hodne penez.

Ruce se mi t •asly rozeilenim, i straehem, aby mne nikdo pri teto svatokra deli dedeekova tajemstvi neptistihl, rozevtel jsem chvatne notes — av gak tu nastalo male ochlazeni me horeene dychtivosti.

Pismo, jimZ dedeeek psal sve zapisky, byla stard gyabgtina, ktere jsme ye gkole tikali "kurrent" a do jejichZ tajt na g teprve pied nedlouhou dobou poeal zasvecovati stark a bodrY pan uoitel Novak.

A notes byl tim gvabachem uz hnedle celY popsan.

Cteni jeho nebylo pro mne lehke, ale piece jsem je, ad' s obtiZemi, zaeal slabikovati. Co tu bylo pametihodnYch veci zapsano!

Kdy umfeli rodienve dedeekovi, kdy se kdo z jeho jedenacti sourozenca Zenil nebo vdaval i kdy zemtel — ale nemohl jsem se etenim tech poznamek zdrZovat a obratil jsem nekolik lista, a tu jsem Ceti vedle ureiteho data, jeho si 112 dnes nezapominam, tento zapis: "Toho dne jsem po'prve pi'i gel do Ro2Mluvil jsem tu s pannou Pepiekou SYkorovou. Takove pekne panny jsem jeg te nevidel."

Nova datum: "I.TZ je tomu mesie a nomohu na ni zapomenout. Ty jeji uptimne oci mi udelaly. Pitjdu tam zase."

"Aha," iekl jsem si pin radosti, "to byla neboZka babieka."

Honem jsem pfevratil zase nekolik lista, abych je gte neco proeet1 net se Odeeek vrati.

A tu jako by byl magnetem pfitaZen, utkvel mtlj pohleel no tomto zapisu: "Due 18. JVIaje Leta Pane 1868, zrovna

tdyZ Otilka zaeala stonat ke druheniu klukovi, sbirali jsme na "Cikance" na Narodni divadlo. Toho dne kladli k nemu v Praze zakladni kamen.

Budeme ted' zase sbirat kaalou nedeli.

A v noel hned potom se Otilce narodil chlapec a ja„ jsem mu vybral jmeno Rudolf. To Narodni Divadlo ja uZ asi vystavene neuvidim, ale tenhle vnoueek jiste bude do neho\ chodivat. A rad bych vedel, na co se budou oechove skladat, at tohle mlade pokoleni doroste."

Notes mi vypadl z ruky.

Pro osinileteho klouaka bylo to v ge trochu teZkou michanici znameho s neznamYrn. V torn neco venku za g ramotilo, ulekl jsem se, uloZil honem grajtofli s notesem na jeji misto a vybehl jsem do poll za mesto, kde jsem o smote na mezi, skryt vysokYm titern, premY'Slel a nepochcpitelne zahade, tajicich se ye slovech: "kdyt Otilka zaeala stonat ke druheum klukovi." lido byla Otilka, nebylo treba hadati, to piece byla maminka, tak ji vtdycky otec i dedeeek jmenovali. A druhY kluk.

— to jsem byl zase ja, nikdo jinY to nemohi bYt, nebot' ptede mnou byl jen starsi bratr Lojzik!

0 Narodnim divadle — dedeeek mel diisledne psano vZdy "Diva,dlo", s dlouhYm i — jsem jakesi ne docela jasne pojmy take mel, mluvivalot' se u nas Cast() o nem, o sbirkach na jeho postaveni, o tom, jak bude krasne a velike, ba i v "Pra2skem Denniku" bYvaly o nem elanky, jet Lojzik veeer vSem predeittival, a ja, jsem si v duchu east() pi'edstavoval, o mnoho-li to Narodni divadlo bude asi ve0i, net "akterske" divadlo ieditele Jelinka, ktery ut, nejednou u nos v RoZmitale hral a tak krasne to umel — to tedy bylo v gechno v potadku a ja, jsem to vg echno jak2 tala taky chapal — aZ na jednu vec, ktera mi vrtala hlaveu jako nebozez.

A jak by taky nevrtala — cot pak to 'lady nekdo slysel, to se stone ke klukovi?

Podle rnYch osmiletych zkuSenosti so stonavalo na spalu, na horkou nemoc, na nadclau, nekdy taky na triknitti - ale stonat ke klukovi tohle jsem slySel, ei vlastale Ceti v tivote poncjprv!

To byla zahada, derna neproniknutelna tma, ktere jsem si nedovedl nikterak a nieim osvetliti. Vzpominal jsem, jestli bych se upamatoval, kterak jsem na svet a zdali maminka zrovna tenkrat Stonala — ale =most nad marnost, v me pameti nebylo o torn nic, net zas jen tma . .
