Postmaster, please send Form 3579 with undeliverable copies to SUPREME LODGE SPJST, Fayetteville, Texas liDY2 USEL JSEM nedavno pochvaM liti jednu na.M dobrou deskou hospodyni: "Mate velice peknou zahradku", eimZ jsem minil jeji arodu zeleniny. Odpovedela mi zcela uptimne, "Vgak jsem tomu take dala dosti prate. Ale to ma,§, jak se tika, kdyZ necla.6 -- tak nema" Toto lidove reeni mohli bychom vhodne vziti na detel, kdy2 mluvime o nakm spolkovem Zivote. 2ebronime, ze eleni malo chodi do &chime, malo ukazuji zajmu.

MnohY pry krei rameny, "Co z toho spolkafeni main?".

Pied dvema roky pti zasedani Texaskeho bratrskeho kongresu v Dallas promluvil k delegatarn ptedseda bratrskeho spolku Maccabees, kterY toho easu byl te2 ptedsedou Narodniho bratrskeho kongresu, nedavno zesnulSr John P. Stock.

Mezi jinYm pravil, ze easto si ptedstavoval nd.§ bratrsky podparnSr system k nevyeerpatelne zasobe podzemni vody a naSe mistni spolky, tady, odboeky a bratrske skupiny jako starodavne pumpy, ktere dosud najdeme po venkove. Ptijde 'Cloy& z mesta; Ma Zizen, vidi pumpu, zaane pumpovat; pumpuje chvilku, ale Zadna voda nejde. Pomysli si, ze pumpa nepracuje nebo ze studne vody nema.

Ptijde v gak malt' farmatski hoch, chyti plecha.eek, nabere trochu vody ze dtheru a naleje nahote do pumpy. Pak chyti kliku u pumpy, lOvne dvakrat, ttikrat, a vody je dost.

Techto sto Aedesat na gich mistnich fade mohli bychom pkirovnati k °nem venkovskSrm pumpam. 2 e nepracuji? KdyZ ned“, tak nema.A. Jestli nenalije g vody do pumpy, aby spustila, budeA kYvat na.darmo. Na.S'e tady nejsau pokatene do to miry, Ze by nepracovaly. Jako ta yenkovska, studne zaene vrhati vodu, podobne nak mistni tady mohou Cerpati tolik bratrskeho zapalu, tolik fraternalismu, jako tomu bylo 'Aced etyticeti a padesati lety. Pottebujeme naliti do toho bratrskeho mechanismu trochu nadkni, aby celY stroj byl uveden v pohyb.

pra,veti zajimavy pfipad, za jakych pomeal postavila se ta nebo ona Padova sin, ktera drieg zeje prazdnotou. Co bylo tenkrate nadAeni, co bylo obetavosti a dobre vale! Pozemek byl ziskim darem, ten nebo onen bratr venoval k tomu dva velike loty nebo dva akry v koutu sve farmy. A star gi • bratr zasteskne: "Dues uz neni takoveha nadkni, takove obetavosti."

MYWS se, bratte. Kdyby se ukazalo nadAeni, najdou se take mecenak. Pfed tfemi roky fad TyrS &slit) 80 zaeal vane pomYket na postavent sveho vlastniho domova. Stavebni material byl tetko k dostani, regulace a omezovani, ale elenove fadu zjistili, ze mohli by dostati starou dtevenou Skolu. NaSel se bratr, kterY za hranicemi niesta Holland mel kus pozemku. Daroval spolku tti akry zrovna pH lesiku. Stara Skolni budova se pfestehovala, pfemodelovala a fad Tyr ma svaj domov.

Nebo vezmeme si nejmladM tad v Jednote, kterSr pied mesi gem oslavoval druhe vYroei sveho zaloteni, fad tulak eislo 165. Podobne eleni fadu naki Skolni budovu, ktera byla do prodeje, zakoupili ji, a ta budova stala se stkedem jejich spolkoveho Zivota. Drees tad u1ak eislo 165, ad pouze dva roky start, cites asi 150 dospelYch Pied necelymi dvaceti lety fad Pokrok Houstonu mel dosti prostrannou spolkovou mistnost, At' druhou svou sin, ktera nevyhovovala. ftad mel tenkrate jen new kolem 350 'Menu. Zaealo se mluvit o postaveni nave moderni budovy, tfeti na potadi. Vzalo to chvili, neZ se vyvolal mezi eleny dostateenY zajem, nadkni do nove prate. Budova mela stati nejakYch 40-45 tisic. Sehnalo se mezi eleny dostt apisa a osobnich piljeek, ze bylo potteba jen 15 tisic, aby se zaaalo stavit. Byla vyslana deputace do Hlavni Utadovny Zada.ti o piljeku. Hlavni atadovna vahala. Prave statni odbor poji gt'ovani nalehal, abychom udelali si potadek v naSich bondech a vloZili ukladani penez dv lepSich rukou. V kvetnu 1935 seSlo

se znaene mnotstvi &era ve Fayetteville, aby situate byla napravena. 2adost tadu 'Oslo 88 o pujeku $15,000 na novou budovu byla pfedlotena znovu Hlavni iifadovne. Hlavni idadona, aby si umyia ruce, pfedlotila tadost nattevnikum. NavStevnici fekli, jestli nebude podporovana snaha a naMeni jednotlivYch domacich mateme celY na bratrskY kram pomalu zavirati. Piljeka byla povolena strachem, ze nebude vyplacena. elenove fadu Pokrok Houstonu citili se touto nepiljeku ochotou doteeni a uminili si, stuj co stiij vyplati. Do osmi let se tak stales KdY1 neda, tak nemas. A davaa-li v rozpacich, neni to upfinme a neptinak to pinou miru vdeku a nadLeni.

JeAte dosud nevim, a nevi nikdo JinY, kolik fadovYch budov mame. Snad je jich tficet nebo 40, moina i vice. Kdyby vbk katdY fad, kterY vlastni svou budovu, hledel k tomu, aby tato budova byla odevzdana mladeti k programinn ornladiny, byl by to krok ye spravnem smeru.

Ony sumy penez, ktere jsme do nakch spolkovYch mistnosti vlokli pfed dvaceti, tficeti a vice lety, pfinesly nara mnoho dobra, dokud jsme se starali, jak diuhy na budove vaznouci zaplatiti. Dluhy jsou vyplaceny, zbYva jen nejake, ta, oprava a dohlidka, ale kapital lezi mrtvY. Dnes meli bychom naLe sine pomalu pfevesti pod kontrolu tech mladkch.

At' planuji, at' tfeba citi tihu dluhu, jako jsme ji citili kdysi sami. At' uvali na sebe neja.ke zavazky a povinnosti, at' zlepgi naAe prazdne sine, at' je opravi, pofidi lepSi sedadla, zavedou moderni umyvadla a pokojiky, at' zvelebuji to, co my zaeali. Zaanou-li zavazky, zaenc zajem. Kdo neda praci, nebude mitt ani Urodu. )

Proniknouti k robe je tteba: stati se tim, kYm jsi. V Zivote ztratili jsme se vgichni sobe sarnkm; jest tteba se Zivotem k sobe samYm, vyloviti se z (Saida).

Nain v 'ent°un , , ii 1 od redaktora Vetgina mistnich radii ma svou vS,roeni schuzi za sebou. Zvoleni byli likednici pro ptig ti rok, ponejvice beze zmeny.

Nekde provedeny byly male zameny a elenove byli pkesunuti ye syYch fikednich mistech. Jen v ojedinelYch ptipadech byl zvolen do nektereho fikadu novY iikednik.

Odstupujici fitednik zaslouZi si uznani jeho prate o podekovani za v ge, co pro Fad vykonal. K tomu staremu, odstupujicimu Ukedniku chtel bych pronesti nekolik slov. VYroeni schtize zvolila na Tye misto nelcoho jineho. Mne teZko kid proe.

Snad jsi se sam vzdal fikedni Cinnosti z dtivodit jen Tobe znamkch, a pkiein nalehavYch. Snad eleni neocenili Tvou praci a vybrali si elena jineho, od nehoZ oeekavaji vice. Snad doeasne zvitezily viivy jine, trochu nebratrske, vice osobni.

At' pricina je jakakoliv, at' odstupujeg ze

aye y ule, el z yule elent, at' odstupujeg unaven nebo rortxpeen a a bolesti v dusi, na jedno nezapomen — bud' pfikladem i kdyk nejsi afednikem. Snad Ti elenove ublikili, ale my glenka bratrstvi Ti neublikila, a proto Tvtij spolek nemfrke trpet a nemel y. Odstupuje g z 41-adu, ale elenem zastaviti g. tlenern p •estat bkti nesmig. Jen vsttpuje g do fad jinkch Budeg pozorovatelem, jak druzi •ednici budou sij painat. Jako bkvalk nfednik, nekritiatj plane, neposmivej se nezdartim, nevy4bej se praci, ku ktere Te zavolaji. Pom4hej dale, a pomahej i tern, ktei-i Tobe nepomahali. Fraternalismus neni funk9e, neni idad, neni osoba, ale p •esveddemi, ktere je v elovelcu hluboko a ktere sie nemeni tim, ze Cloy& nema ve spolku &ad. Bratrstvi, tot' gtesti kivota, tot' veklouci idea lidi svobodnkch. natal\ pro* i naddle pomocnikem, na kolik uznag zapotfebne. Co jsi vykonal, za to pfijmi Hiplimnk dik.

Kaidk obchodtpik deli koncem roku inventuru sveho bozl, sveho majetku a odhad sveho zistu Zbkva, jen etrnact dni do konce rok4 a proto mtikeme jik uvakovati, zda uppnulk rok byl k nam g tedrkm nebo sktioupkm. Kdyk odhadneme sviij celkovk itiddelek nebo svilj rastek, mohli bythom se take zastaviti a pfemkgleti, jakkroky jsme podnikli, abychom tento firustek zajistili sobs nebo ay e rodine. ivotni pojigteni je nejspolehlivej g im m ernim prostiedkem zabezpeeiti rodinu, `kdy2 bychom ji museli snad opustiti. Ale vyukitkovali jsme kivotniho pojig teni;dle sveho vkdelku nebo sveho pfirtistku? Zvysili jsme sve poji gteni, aby odpovidalo nagemu pfijm.u? Nage SPJST zy kaila molknost, abychom se nechali pojistiti deseti tisic. Vyukitkovali jsme toho? Nechali jsme se ptipojistit?

Slygel jsem nektere stargi Cleny pronest nahled, ze nebylo tfeba zvygova,ti inaximalni risiko u SPJST a ze stejne budeme mhti velice malo takovkch Cleat, kte • i by se necha,Ii pojistiti na pinkr obnos $10,000, jak nyni SPJST poskytuje.

Sotva chybim, kdyk feknu, ze mezi stargimi lidmi je kiyotni pojig teni povakovano za jakousi zbyteenou nutnost, ktera mush bkt, asi jako dane a jine nutne kivotni vklohy, ale ktera by bkt nemusela. Nebudou vysoke poji gteni kupovati stark eleni, i kdyby zdravi a vek jim to dovolovalo. Mnohk z nich povakoval a dosud povakuje a lp:1j certifikat na pet set imlne postadujici. Znam jednoho velmi prominentniho krajana, ktery jen s velkkm pkemlouvanim si vzal certifikat na pet set, aby mel volnk pfistup do sjezdti.

A nemusim chodit pro vzory jinde, mohu zaeit se svou rodinou. Muj otec byl starostlivkm, getrnkm, peeujicim o svou rodinu. Koupil farmu, splacel dluhy a frroky, jen aby nam detem neco zanechal.

prOsince 1952.

On nevidel v pojigteni zadny- majetek.

Pro alto hrst hliny byl hmatatelnk kaz bohatstvi. Certifikat byla take dobra, yee, ale zbyteene vydani. ftikaval, "to jen abyste mne meli zat. pochovat,'ale posemek yam piece zustane". Mel na farms dluh $1,500 a platil 8% firokft. DelalO to na arocich $120 merle. 1V161 certifikat na $500, na kterk platil 60 cents mesiene, 25 centil etvrtletnich poplatkft a tenkrate 40 centil etvrtletne na Vestnik,, tedy asi $10 rodne. Kdyby mel poji gteni tak vksoke, jako byl jeho dluh, certifikat na $1,500 by ho stal $1.80 mesiene, nebo s jinkmi poplatky asi $25 roene. Na vyplaceni ptidy platil $120 merle, nebo-li 8%.

Na certifikat stejne vk ge by platil $25-$30, tedy jen 2%. Pracoval a dfel, jen aby detem neco zahospodakil a zanechal. Nebylo tenkrate nikoho, kdo by mu vysvetlil opravdovk vkznam kivotniho pojigteni.

NebYlo nikoho, kdo by mu poukazal, mohi zahospodafiti daleko vetgi dedietvi jen tim, kdyk by si ureil, jak velike dedictvi chce detem zanechat a pak bude platit kakdeho roku jen 2% na obnos, kterk chce odkazati svkm detem, a ze jeho plan bude uskuteenen, at' kije a piati 2% po mnoho rokft nebo jen kratkk vek.

Devadesit prUcent na gich elenii, a rno*nd je jich devadesat devet procent, nemaji dostateeneho poji gteni jen proto, ke kadnk jim nevysvetlil, co kivotni pojig teni opravdu znamena. Kakdk si mysli, ze kivotni pojig teni si mfike koupit kdokoliv, kdo ma penize. 2adnk neuvaki, ze k kivotnimu poji gteni je nejdfilekitejai zdravi. Penize jsou pouze trokove splatky, ktere zaenou, dokud je elovek zdravY. Ptejte se kterehokoliv nageho elena, aby y am fekl, co je kivotni pojig teni. Odpovi vam, ze jedno poji gteni jako druhe: kdyk si kotipi dam, pojisti si ho. Dum shofi, dostane poji gteni. Jestli se pojisti na kivot a zemi• e, rodina dostane pojig teni. Domniva se, ze mesieni a rani poplatky, venovane na kivotni pojig teni, je nevyhnutelne vydani. Dtrn si pojisti, aby nemel ztratu; hospodafske stavby si pojisti, automobil si pojisti, ponevadk nechce sarn 'testi risiko. Ale jeho jeho schopnost mysleti a starati se o svou rodinu, co2 je jeho nejvet gim bohatstvim, to si nepojisti.

KaidS, elovek mel zniti hodnotu sveho vlastniho kivota a mel by bkti pojigten na obnos petkrate vy ggi nek co obnagi jeho rani pkijem. Delnik, kterk vydelo, $3,000 ran& mel by hledeti k tomu ,aby jeho pojig teni vystoupilo, nek zestarne, na $15,000. Ma-li rodinu, je to ochrana pro jeho rodinu na pet let po jeho smrti. jestli nema rodinu, poji gteni ma bYti upra,veno jako rani chichod pro jeho stark. MO ma rani pfijem $5,000, jeho snahou by melo bkti, aby planoval sve pojigteni do vYge $25,000. Obyeejne neda se to provesti najednou, ale postupem

Ve stiedu, dne 17. prosince 1952. easu, mnohdy zmenou terminoveho pojlgteni zmenou na trvanlive. I stars' mladenec pottebuje bezpeenost ve svem sta.pojigteni je pro neho take ce• stou nejspolehlivej gi. Chlubime se, 2e nag eeskY lid je SetrnYm a starostlivYm, ale kolik mame mezi sebou elenh, aby budovall a chranili sve dedictvi cestou 2ivotniho pojigteni? Jestli jsme takYmi, jakymi se chlubirne bYti, na ge prfurierne 21votni pojigteni u SPJST to neukazuje.

Nag prtimer na kaldy certifikat je pouze $920. Radeji pfikoupime jednu farmu a budeme platit 5% a 6% inokii a dane, net zakoupiti dal gi certifikat bez dani a na 2% splatky se zarukou pineho vypla.ceni v ptipadu smrti.

Korigoval jsem sazbu romanu pro dne g yu Chesapeake,-nieslo.Jtampiszl po nem2 prvni americkY Lech, Augustin Heiman, se plavil se , svou dru2inou. Pii korigovani jsem si vzpomnel na, zaZitek, 'ktery jsme men, kdyt bratr Marek a ja jsine pfejell onen zan y na sve ceste z Bostonu domh. Bylo asi k desate hodine rano, kdy2 jsme spatfili pied sebou motsky zaliv Chesapeake a nararnne dloirhY vysokY most pies onen motsky zany.

BYla to nadherna podivana.: — modra voda v giti asi gesti nebo vice mil, zelene btehy v dalce a novY, jakoby stkibrnY, Majestatni oblouk mostu. Tajil se -nam dech, kdyi jsme, zvolna stoupali do vs'Se proti modrojasne obloze, Snad oba jsme meli tisnivY pocit sve mravenei nicotnosti, kdy2 jsme byli na onom ohromnem oblouku ye vYgce dvou ci OH set sttevic nad hlubinou. Jell jsme po moste osm, deset, snad dvanact minut. V nekterYch mistech delnici davali konstrukel posledni nater stfibrne barvy. Most byl upine novY, otevienY pro dopravu nekollk tYdna pfedtirn. Kdy2 jsme koneene sjeli s mostu, abychom zaplatili $1.75 mYtneho, liednik nam oznamoval, ze prave kdosi skoeil s nejvy giho mista do hlubin zallvu. Ukonail svuj 2ivot, kdy2 jsme pfejialell. Po tomto sdeleni dlouho jsme nepromluvili, jen byli zabrani ye svYch myglenkach. Pak jsme se ptali jeden druheho: "Dovede g si pfedstavit, aby elovek opustil svevolne svou rodinu, sve zname?" Tim se nam jazyky rozvazaly a rozebirali jsme du gevni rozpolbteni eloveka, kterY dobrovolne opou gti svou rodinu. Z toho jsme pte gli na thema lidech, kteti bezmyglenkovite jdou 2ivo• tem a neptemy gleji o torn, jak rodina bude, kdyby byli. shozeni do hlubin Neenosti. A zase jsme se ptali jeden druheho: "Dovedeg si pfedstaviti, aby elovek svevane opustil rodinu nezaopattenou nebo jen s tak malou eastkou hotovosti,. to nestaei ani na zaplaceni lekatskYch a ohtebnich vyloh?" Vy2aduje to easto opravdovY dugevni ottes, aby se elovek zamyslel nad svYm vlostnim 2ivotem a

Pied sto lety, kdyi zaertly v Anglii jezditi prvni viaky, lido stall a zevlovali na leskle kolejnice a prazdne viaky.

Prazdne, ponevad2 lide se ball sednout na to nestvinu, 2e by pfi gli ku zraneni a zmrzaeeni. AnglickY parlament muse' zakrodit. Povolil 2eleznici, aby utvokorporaci, ktera by zaruoila bezpeenou dopravu anebo vyplatila ocIgkodne, kdy2 by nekdq jizdou ylakem pfigel k firazu. Tak povstalo prvni poji gteni v pfipadu nehody a ne gtesti. Nap •ed pojigteni proti trazu bylo jen pti jizde vlakern, pozdeji firazove pojiSteni zahrnovalo te2 jine risika. Pted dvaceti lety taktka ka2da 2ivotni poiistka, .koupena od obchodni pojigt'ujici spoleenosti, mela vyjimku, ae pojistka pozbYva platnosti jestli unit nastane phi letu aeroplanem.

To ptipomina na gi nemocenskou podporu. Jednali jste o ni v nektere ptedchazejici schtizi? Kolik elentl se ptihlasilo do Nemocenskeho odboru?

Bratr Pibil se nevzdal funkce proto, ze by nechtel pro rad jiz pracovati, ale protd, ze kdy neuznal rad, ze jit vykonal dosti, musel se to rici sam. JA se bratru Pibilovi nedivim, za tak dloulaa, leta mysi se stati takova funkce jit bremenem a prestava byti zabavou.

Roman prvniho Oecha v Americe Rudogi ztichli a zavahali Ptesto hrozila nejedna z napjatStch tetiv vyslati nebezpeenS7 gip.

"Co sobe rudi bojovnici pfeji?" zvolal kapitan jeate durazneli. `Na palube je velmi mocnY bledY muz. SluSi se, aby promluvil ndeelnik!"

Na blizke kocabce se vzptimil rudoch g iroke hrudi, V jeho vlasech, seesanS,ch do svazeeku, treela zatknuta pera; nejedno neslo vjmluvnS, postranni zatez.

"Bleda tvat zabila, domaci slepici, my aby byla vyclana!"

"Rudyi bojovnik si milk pro zasttelenou slepici pi'ijit — nevecleli jsme, se to je domaci ptak," odpovidal kapitan.

Rudoch vaak ueinil vagnive odmitave gesto a poroueel: "Bleda tvat zast •elila — bleda tva• sama ptinest!"

"Hled'me, vaMS'r diploma.tic14 k nflikt!" posmival se Waldron.

Na palube zatim p •evladla bojovna ndlada. OzS7valy se hlavy, se nejlepe by bylo, vyslat potadnou salvu z musket do kfrie rudochii. Hetman i Joris nesouhlasili.

Joris proto, 2'e by tim byly ohr&eny ptigti testy jeho "Hudsonskeho bobra" temito vodami, a Hetman s ohledem na sve poslani, ktere nemohlo potiebcvati dobrodrtastvi a afer. Oba se dohodli, bude nejlepe, vyhovi-li se ptestanimu pcdada yku divochfi. Kapitan Joris se otazal, kdo z mtastva chce vykonati toto poslani. Nikdo se nehlasil a u vgech se jevil opovrMivS/ cdpor.

"Pojedu sam," tekl kratce kapitan a chystal se sestoupiti do elunu. S sebou bral tabak a zrcadelka jako odgkodne.

"Pojedeme spolu, budu veslovat," zvolal Heiman. Nea vaak oba mohli cokoli ueinit, ptibehl Robert. "Ja jsem v:Se spiskal, ja to musim napravit!" hlasil se.

Heiman vahal, ma -li to dovolit. Za divochy nebylo lze rueit. Kdo se k nim vydaval, zahraval si se '2ivotem. Robert Naughty vaak trval na svem. Zatputile a stateane, prozrazuje corlearovskou byci Co delat? Indiany bylo nutno uSmititi Ustupnosti. Heiman se proto ohlizel, kdo

aby vstoupili do elunu a doprovodili Roberta Naughtyho. "V gak jsem dobre videl,' ae jste ponoukali toho hocha, aby ptaka zastfelil," zlobil se. "Dobie jste yedeli, co strojite! Mete!"

Neael vaak ani jeden, ani druhY. Pojednou je pfepadl strach. "Nemakme, kapitane, nemaZeme — znaji nas!" skudeli.

"Tim spiSe bych vas mel k nim poslat!"

"Proboha, pane, Setfete rids!"

Heiman se obratil k Jorisovi. Vysvetlil Ze tito darebove — o jejich protfelosti nemohlo bYti pochyb — maji zaslulm, Ze piinesli guverneru Stuyvesantovi zpravu novoanastelsVho direktora Beekmana o torn, se Delawarsko je ohrokno. Jsou to individua, ktera jsou ochotna konati vec dobrou jako apatnou, jestlik k ni prave maji naladu a dostane-li se jim fadne odmeny. Maji ii vaak u rudocha vroubek, jiste by jejich hlavy neunikly skalpu. A jakmile by se ukazala krev, nikdo by Indiany neovladl a vznikla by fa, kterou. si nelze dovolit. Pate Heiman se obratil k obema dobrodruhum, tiesoucim se jako osikovY list. "Jedno mi vaak povite!" udefil na ne. "Kdo vas poslal na tuto lod'?"

"Sekretaf van Flat."

"Abyste me gpehovali a cestu mafili?

Mldeli a jen silhali po bezpednera pod palubi.

Hefmanovi to stadilo.'Od yratil se od inch s opovrZenim. Sice si chtel scholiavane tyafe lepe prohlednout, ale zatim se lod' napinila jasotem. To Robert se vratil od Indiana. Vypravil se k nim sam a nyni vystupoval na palubu skromne a nenucene, jako by se bylo*nic nestalo.

Ta chladnokrevnost a ticha odvalnost mu slukly. "HudsonskY bobr" mei "sveho hrdinu.

Pet dna a pet noci trvala testa StuyvesantovYch posla jenom do Noveho Am• stelu. A kdyZ se tu tazali na Anne Arundel a slygeli, se je oeekava pout' aspon dagich tfi dna, a lcdyZ na to odpovedeli, se cestu si zkrati, ponevan maji s sebou dobre kone po celem Novem Holandsku neni lepai staje nad crjefmanovy — dali se hostitele do fehotu.

"Kone?" kuckal se do voustt direktor Beekman. "Makte si je, abych tak •ekl, dati za kloboak! Jen si sve konieky hezky poalete nazpet doma. Misto nich yam opatfim za pravodce dobre trapery a spolehlive Indiany. Na zada s sebou vezmete jen nejnutneji a do ruky po • adnY tesak, ne jenom pro obranu, ale abyste si mohli kiestit cestu pralesy. A vy, pane Heimane, budete moci bYt vabec rad, neztratite-li cestou papiry, ktere ve Svate mate odevzdat. .

Haman a Waldron se na sebe zklamane podivali. Kde se ocitli? Na koncich sveta? Dye statni fizemi a nemaji spolu jedineho cestovniho spojeni! Novoamstelati burgheai to bez uzardeni potvrzovali.

"Nikdo z nas is Anne Arundelu jeate nebyl a co teprve v St. Mary! A prave tak odtamtud nikdo nepfichazi k nam.

VYjimkou byla navSleva Utieho. Plukovnik site pfijel konino, je vaak zahadou, kudy a jak. Nechcete-li sva zvirata — a jsou to, veru, krasne . kousky! — cestou umolit, pust'te se do Arundelu po syYch!" Co zbYvalo? Herman ulail zklamanemu Robertovi, aby se vratil s korimi Po "Iludsonskem bobru" do Noveho Amsterodamu. 0 Flatovy stvdry miSenec si •ikal Dirk Schuller a druhY byl znam jako "hlavatY Jack" ---- nebylo tieba se starati: Propadli se jako do zenie, sotva se doticli souse.

V Novem Amstelu bylo nutno se pozdrZet. Mesteeko jako dlari a cele ze dfeva: domedky tladil se jeden na druhy, ac prostoru bylo ha.badej — pevnastka, palisady a ovaem i vetrne mlYny. Zpfedu soutok dvou fek, s druhe strany pole, pastviny, ohrady s dobytkem a v pozadi namraCene pralesy. Mestalto zaloZili v roce 1633. A pokftili je take se vzpomInkou na Amsterodam sve evropske vlasti, nebot' holandskY Amsterodam se pavodne jmenoval Amstel-dam, podle •eky Amatel, ktera ho rozkrajovala s ySrmi nekolika, rameny. Na to si pionYfi na zdejM Delaware vzpomneli a tak vznikl tento Nieuw Amstel.

Na sebe nakupene domeeky a cedrove palisady, tvrde jako ze Zeleza, mluvily o strachu, v jakem tu ustaviene.Zili prosti pionyii civilisace. Ten strach, kterY v lepaich dobach jiZ pominul, od , Utieho naatevy znovu pfepadl obyvatele a °via:dal ulice a vkchna zakouti mesteaka jako apinava hyena. Snad polovina staveni straalla prazdnotou. Lide je opustili.

Odstehovali se bli& k mot!, lekajice se toho, co kahlYm dnem mohlo pfijit.

"VSichni ' se brzo rozutekou, mynheer," Zaloval peelive odkrajovanYmi slovy frfedni inteligent Obraham van Naas, mestskY sekretaf a vefejnY notat. "Neni pravni a osobni jistoty.

Maine sotva sto mail, pane!

A pak se nam posilaji vzkazy, abychom Utieho zavfeli jako apeha, jakmile se v Novem Amstelu jeate objevi. .

Strana 12 "lido vam to vzkazal?"

"Jeho Excelence guverner, pane. Tak nom psal."

Herman se zahryzl do rtu. Takove pogetile silactvi! Kdyby se o torn v Arundent dovedeli, postavili by si teprve hlavu a katastrofa by byla hotova.

Ve volne chvilce si Herman posteZoval Waldronovi: "Pracoval jsem s Excelenci na listinach ktere neseme s sebou, a uvaZovali jsme o kaZdem slove. Take jsem si vyhradil, dokud se nevratime, nebude bez nageho vedomi Excelence a rada do sporu zasahovat. Ale ne2 sem prejdeme, mail tu od Excelence takove zapalne dopisy. . ."

"MWe to bYt van Flatova prate, pane Hermane. . ."

"To nemohu zkoumat," odpovedel Herman. "Nerna, se strilet z te2kYch kust za na gimi zady. . ."

13rzo je poeala brnet hlava. Setnik van Hu1st Zadal, aby podporovali u ExceIence jeho po‘Zadavek, aby sta y posadky byl zvYgen aspon na tii sta /nun., poladavek jiste ne nemirnY. Reditel Beekman si vg ak zoufale sahal na lysinu, perlici se mastnym potem, a narikal, Ze spolecnost takoveho zatiZeni neunese, ze jeji ptijmy beztak stale klesaji.

"Ostatne" -- a malieka oeka se zarde1Yrni vieky zchytrale zamZikala — "ostat ne mUeme vge poriditi daleko levneji.

Dejnie Senektim zbrane, nalejme do divochil trochu ohne koralkou a postaei to. Stale setnikovi doporueuji, aby zacvi enval Indiany ye strelbe pugkami, ale nechce tonal rozumet. Chce mit hodne forern, hoclne parody: Co mne se tyre, mel bych radeji nahe Indiany s dobrY rni mugketarni. Ti by si ji2Z s Artmdelem a s Utiem vedeli rady!"

Herman musil potirati malomyslnost soufalcti a zbrklost omezencu. Napadil!

BeekmanovYch se primo zhrozil. Zakazal prisne kaZde spoleovani s Indiany narni-, rene proti jinYrri belochtim. "Dovedete si, predstavit," dodal nakonec, "jak by s mi ye Svate Maki jako se zastupci Noveho Holandska naloZili, kdybyste tu necol podobneho ztropili? A co by vilbec Novy Amstel stihlo?"

Novoamstelgti znovu nabyli klidu i duvery.

Druheho dne, 1. kijna, namitili na jihozapad a pozdeji na jih. Prebrodili dva toky, patrne naldejici k JiZni Pete.

Na brehu natli vyvr Z . eny Clun. Znamenal pro ne nemalou ulevu. Politichu byl v chatrnem stavu. Byl znaene rozeschlY a kdy ho polozili na vodu, ihned se pota.pel. Nezbylo nea elun opravit. Vytahli ho znovu na breh, obratili dnem vzharu a spiry utesnili platnem, pokud jake mohl 4)patrit jejich. (Kiev a pokud o ne mohlj pIipravit sve tlumoky.

Clun nernel kormidla a z vesel bylo po ruce toliko jedno. Clun vaak byl mocne unaaen a strhavan proudem. JiZ chteli prirazit ku brehu, aby prenocovali, kdy Indian vztahl kupredu paZi a zvolal: "Sassafras River!"

Skuteene vpluli, do tiroke a poklidne reky. A jeate v houstnoucim aeru mohli na obnaZ'enem brehu zjistiti jakousi farmu. Vtichni ozivli. Ve srubu se jim do-stalo vlidneho privitani a ochotneho pohottern. Farmat se ptedstavil jako John Turner. Ohlasil se vaak jette jiny mua.

Nejevil nijakou radost, kdyZ slytel, hoste prichazeji z delawarskeho NoVeho Amstelu. Choval se zatvrzele a sotva utrousil slovo. 0 sobe jen rekl, ae se jmenuje Abraham.

Posledni ulehal Heiman. Horlive rozmiouval s farmarem i s Abrahamem.

Farmare zasypaval otazkami, jen se tykaly jakosti a iirodnosti zdejti, marylandske ptidy. Farrnat padu chvalil a pravil, ae by rodila vYteenou ptenici, kdyby racleji nepestoval tabak, kterY lze lope zpenelit. Abraham Herman zpovidal, prof zbehl a uprchl z Noveho Holandska. Vzpominaje tohoto hovoru, prohodil druheho dne rortrpeen k Waldronovi: "Jdeme sem, abychom hajili svYch hranic, ale je mnoho naaich domacich lidi, Jima tyto hranice preka2eji vice nea nepratelin.

"Obdivuji se jakosti zdejtiho tabaku," priznaval. "Je solidne triden a dobre balen. Jsou tu stejne dobri hospodari jako obehodnici."

"Jsou a maveji bit," odpovedel Wickse.

"Vlada na to dozira. Nesmi se vyvezti jediny balik tabaku, aby ho ptisan9 dozorce neprezkoumal a neopatril znamkou.

Prieiny tohoto zjevu jsou fazne, ale nikoli nejakY snad odpor nebo nelaska k Oecham, a ti hlavni sahaji hned do dob prvniho se usazovani na geho lidu v Texasu.

Prvni rodiny, ktere se v letech padesatYch minuleho stoleti v Texasu usadily, byly sice z tech, ale vyznani evangelickeho a nazYvaly se "MorayskYmi bratry". Tato cirkev byla dobte znama Amerieantim pod jmenem Moravians a ja:ko takovYm dostalo se jim od domorodeho obyvatelstva lepSlho ptijeti net proscribovanYm Bohemians, ktere Americane nedovedli a namnoze dosud nedovedou rozeznati od cikarnl.

Start ueitel Jos. Holec, ye sve vzpomince, psane 1885, pik: "Kdyt jsme pHjell z jara r. 1855 do mesta Katprlingu (Catspring) bylo to ut asi 10 eeskYch, 3 morayske a 10 nemeckYch rodin usazeno." Ceske rodiny byly virou MorayskYmi bratry, tedy `Moravians" a kdyt pak dalti ptistehovalci ptichazeli skoro vkliradne z Moravy, veAlo jmeno Moravians ve vLeobecne utiyami i u Ameridana a na.§ lid se ho pfidrtel vYhradne, ponevaa tailo se i zde lepAimu zvuku net Bohemian.

Prot se proud vystehovalectva z Moravy obratil prase do Texasu, vysvetluji tapek i dr. tHabenicht v podstate asi takto: Pked valkou prusko-rakouskou bylo Rakousko dorninujicim elenem "bundu" nemeckYch stata a rakouske pluky letely posadkou spoleene s nemeckYmi v rutnYch pevnostech v Nemecku, hlayne v Mohuei. Pled rokem osmaetykicaty'm panovalo v Nemecku silne vystehoyalecke hnuti do Texasu. Zdd se vice net pravde podobno, ze luteransti vojaci nemeeti drtovali ptatelske styky s evangeliky, u rakouskYch plukti slouticimi a tim zptisobem se stab, to prvnimi nasimi vystehovalci byli evangelici. Zadatek ueinil roku 1848 pastor Amok Bergman. (Naro= zen r. 1797 v Zapudove u Mnichova HradiSte v Lechach, kterY studoval theolo gii v Prusku a byl pak faratera 'eeske eva.ngelicke cirkve ye Stroutne v Proskern Slersku.) Bergman, ktery byl vice Nemcem net 6echem, odjel do Ameriky roku 1948 a usadil se v Catspring v okresu Austin.

rious types of social activities to interest him and other members. We have picnics, fish fries, barbecues and luncheons. But some members would like to see also "the moral" and "the cultural" element in the lodge activities. Some would like to hear a lecture, like the one Sister Viasta Coufal mentioned in her report last week. Others would like to have group singing on the stage, not at the bar, or some music, something of the order that Sister Olexa wrote that we had a chance to listen in SanAntonio, in La Villita, where Brother Bundil and his Polka group was playing. me would like any number of different kind of amusements. The question is, Aren't these the obligations of a lodge to a member?

LET US CALL it service to members and start with the time when a new applicant is filling out—or helps to fill out—the application; The old white application has a series of questions and one cf them is just one word with a question mark after the word, like this: . .

At the last convention in Houston, we had two Sokol speakers begging us for the very same thing, for helping them and for co-operation with the American Sokol; We only need to be reminded of cur obligations.

• TO SUMMARIZE IT, we should, first, start thinking in the terms of what.our lodges are to do for our members, or to find out how much "lodge life" is being left in our local lodges, how much the lodges are engaged in the "proMotion of moral, cultural and economic progress", as stated in our By-laws, Article 2. Then the Supreme Lodge should conduct a survey of the interests and needs of the membership and in accordance with the findings to start planning a complete rejuver ation throughout the SPJST. • THE SUPREME LODGE then can boldly step forward and through the seven districts start sponsoring the most successful programs, offering 'prizes and awards. It would be in harmony with the request made at the Fifth District meeting in Needville, on September 28, and again with the talk in the Seventh' District meeting in Floresville, on November 16. It would prod local lodge officers and committees into a competitive undertaking.

• • THE CONCENTRATED EFFORT of the respective Districts and the local lodges with their officers and committees would be fully advertised in our official paper, and probably in the local papers of the communities where the competitive program would be held. We would avail ourselves of every medium of publicity. And that is what we need to realize that there are obligations of the SPJST to the members.

The Beautiful Meaning of Christmas The name "Christmas" is said to come from the early English term "Christes Masse" (Christ's Mass), which was used as a result of a special mass .which was celebrated in all the churches on Christmas Day. The origin of the Christmas tree itself has been widely disputed, but authentic German manuscripts in 1608 refer to it as a regular part of Christmas.

There are two legends which are further' strenghtened that they originated at that time which are interesting to repeat here.

One story is told about Martin Luther's first tree which he brought for his impoverished family, which knew very little of happiness. One day he was walking home, and he thought of the significance of the crisp, Christmas Eve. The sky seemed to him, a huge green velvet studded with candles. No sooner did he think of this comparison, he acted, cutting down a small evergreen. When he came home, he asked his wife to bring all the pieces of candles that were in the house, and these he fastened carefully to the tree's branches and lit them. The soft glow illuminated not only the shabby room but created for everyone thereafter a symbol of this holiday.

The other story relates how a German Count in search of a way to cheer his sick wife, had a servant cut down a small evergreen in the forest, had it decorated and brought to his wife's bed. The tree indeed, did make her happier and from that time she grew steadily better. This practise is said to have then spread over the whole country.

At first indications seemed to point to the fact that Austria was first, and research showed that the first Christmas tree was lighted there in 1816 by Princess Henriette, and the practise spread, which resulted in entire markets, called Christkindelmarkt. These markets were devoted to the sale of trees and all sorts of trimmings.

Sweden celebrated with trees since 1817. England had its first Christmas tree in 1841, inaugurated by Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert.

In America, credit for the first Christmas tree is given to Frederick Imgard, • hich stood in his house on Holy Eve of 1847. Since decorations could not be purchased, they were made from paper and other available material.

The custom of giving gifts at this time of the year dates back to the ancient Romans, who distributed gifts during the midwinter festival which celebrated the return of longer days, over which fact they rejoiced and gave tokens 'of friendship to one another.

WHERE TO GO

VPSTNIKLETTERS FLOWERS TO THE LIVING Lfet Sunday evening, December 7, Bro. V. H. Barina, his good wife, their daughter Helen, this scribe and his better half made it a "must" to attend the play TULACKA, at Fayetteville. The play, as most of you know, was presented by our good neighbors to the south, HiaholDramatic Club, of Lodge 88, Houston, Texas.

We certainly enjoyed every Minute of it and I am sure that this is the consensus of all that were lucky enough to see how hard work plus excellent talent, can put things over. It was wonderful and we hope that other Czech comma" nities have the privilege to see this beautiful play. It is something that will bring every Czech heart into action, even if the beat has slowed up considerably. So a big bouquet of roses to all the players of TITLACKA. Just as a reminder to all lodges of DISTRICT ONE, SPJST; the next meeting is at Lodge Osveta, No. 38, Kovar (Near Smithville), Texas. We will be looking for a lot of you to be with us.

It now seems that it may be the last Sunday in April, but watch the Vestnik for definite date, which will be announced in plenty of time. There art a lot of lodges that were not represented at our meeting at Nelsonville. We certainly hope that we will have members from all lodges in the district, at least a few.

Fraternally, E. E. Hollub, Lodge Na. 38, Smithville, Texas ° 4•( LODGE HVEZDA TEXASU NO. 47 Temple, Texas Dear Friends, Sunday at our meeting, we have decided to have a Christmas program again this year for our members and friends. Packages will be given to the children and coffee and cookies will be served to the cider people. Sisters of the lodge are asked to bring one dozen •cookies and the lodge will furnish the coffee and doughnuts. Let's all come out and have a jolly time. The program I will be held on Sunday, December 21 at 7 p. rn I was elected as director of our youth' activities in our Lodge with Sister Annie, Jakubce as my assistant. Our Christmas program will be our first part of the various activities we'll have at our lodge throughout the year. This sort of a program cannot be a success without the help of every member of the lodge. No matter what kind of a director you choose if the parents do not cooperate.

V717:ST, TEXAS

the program will not be a success. I am sure that I can depend on all of you members to lend me a hand in this program.

On Friday, December 19 at 7 p. m. at Star Hall we would like for all who are in the program to meet for our only rehearsal. If any of you have your school program do- not hesitate to let us know for we don't want you to be absent from your school program. Most schools have their programs in the daytime so we thought that the -rehearsal would not interfere.

Our new members admitted into our lodge are: Janet Michalicek, Evelyn Michalicek, and Edmund Kotrla. Joe Lee Knapp and Dennis Ellis changed from Juvenile into the adult.

John Coufal Jr. and Stanley Coufal transferred from cur lodge into the the Temple Lodge James Lodgen transferred to Rosebud and Joe Hunka to Taylor.

Our discussion concerning the heating system took up most of our time.

We did not have time to finish our elections; so at cur next meeting we have more discussion about the heaters and cleat the rest of our officers and committees.

I wish to all of my readers and friends the Merriest of all Christmases and , a Very Happy New Year.

Birdie Sister Congratulations to Hilscher!

Fraternally yours, Mrs. Clara Hejl.

(Editor's Note:—And congratulations to you, Sister Hejl; also Sister Jakubec.

Our Youth Counselor, Birdie Hilsher, will have capable and dependable assistants in you and Sister Annie Jakube c. ) • ( FLORESVILLE, TEXAS Sisters and Brothers: In reply to Bro. Bundil letter of the 26th of November I wish to state what was in my mind ,ref erring to my motion of asking, $500.00 or less assistance from the Supreme Lodge at our 7th District meeting here at Floresville. It was to go on record that we will need funds with which to plan our programs, namely our monthly meetings of the various lodges comprising the 7th District.

I and not speaking for the rest of our program committee, but I, personally, feel our membership will assume this to be our 'duty. Should this turn out to be the case, we will be limited in our efforts to the extent the Supreme Lodge is willing to go along.

From a business standpoint to make any undertaking a success, it will be necessary to spend a certain amount of funds before we may expect results,

and so it will be in this case.

This is not intended to be construed as a plea upon the Supreme Lodge for funds, but rather an explanation.

Fraternally yours, E. Mieulka, 4 4, CHRISTMAS PROGRAM AND PARTY AT LODGE POKROK NO. 88 Attention Members and Friends! And all you little Children!

MY CARIBBEAN CRUISE PART I. Having been confronted with enc6urneing suggestions to write an account of our recent cruise left me almost duty-bound to follow up with it. Although I do not feel equal to the task, alter thinking about it I came to the decision that it might be easier to make an attempt to write than to evade the issue any longer. Let it be understood, at the same time that it is a hopeless effort to do justice to the description of such a pleasant experience.

The idea of a Caribbean cruise always seemed to fascinate me and for a long time it held enough charm for me to consider it seriously; and in a vague sort of way I focussed my thinking to the land of the tropics for adventure or, at least, for the pure pleasure of traveling again.

The middle of September, therefore, found my mother and me driving to New Orleans where we boarded the SS Chiriqui, one of the sister ships of the Great White Fleet operated by the United Fruit Company of New York.

We were on board ahead of schedule of departure and had enough time to unpack our bags before the ship cleared the docks. Our well appointed staterobin was, by this time, as much a part Of us it was the remainder of the voyage the conveniences and comforts of which gave us the feeling that a restful and enjoyable cruise was ahead of IN. When we heard, "All visitors ashore, please," over the ship's loud speaking system, the gang plank was already being removed and the ship was in motion to clear the docks.

From sailing time at 4 p. rn. to midnight, we were still within the bounds of the mighty Mississippi River, a matter 'of 100 miles or so before it finally empties into the Gulf of Mexico. All along this river business activities seem to buzz from every direction, and business operated and expedited therefrom only reminds you that the driver's rating as commercial means is by no means uncierestimatedi According to the U. S. Maritime regulations each ship is piloted into as well as, out of certain ports and harbors, and the., captain turns his ship over to the ;erating pilot until the ship has cleared the 7one.

Because of the unusual length of the Mississippi River, one pilot operates the ship from the New Orleans docks to Pilot. Town after he has served for about six hours when another pilot relieves him to see the ship cut to the Gulf of

Z MEBO VANDRU PO ZAPADNiM POBitEn Pise Frances Homola Jeff mne vge vysvetlil, jak se ony ponorky ponoti a jak se vynoti, cot je vge veliee zajimave a dilmyslnost tech, kteti je sestavili. Nate ponorky jsou asi tak bezpeene jako katda jina. lod'. Maio slyget, te by na ge ponorka se nevratila. Ja vedit, ze ona ponorka ptijde v pohyb a ze se ponoti, za tadnou cenu by mne na ni nikdo nedostal. Byla jsem jiz na dost mistech, kde jsem napted vahala, ale koneene si dala tici a Ma. Ponorky bych se pteee bala, tak dloulia, a jen tak fizka s vysoldmi kominy, na ponied zda se, ze katdou chvili se ptevrhne.

V AterY a ve sttedu byla jsem doma.

Leella jsem moji nachlazeninu, abych se ji zbyla, netli se vydam na zpateeni cestu do Texasu.

Ve sttedu pfi gly "slides", ktere deti si nechaly zhotovit ze ktere braly na nagi ceste a Kanadou. Veer je proprojektorem na platno, take poznovu jsme protivali nagi cestu, videla jsme to krasna a zajimava mista, snad nemilte bSrt lepti upominky z cestovani jako pekna sbirka diapositivil (slides); kdy je libo inut.e vge poznovu videt.

Ve etvrtek jsem se calla jiz dobte, tak veder jsme jeli do Balboa Park Bowl, kde Star-Light Opera davala operu "Caroustart' clej Ze aivota anglickeho ryba.Fe. Na nee° podobneho bych nedbala jiti katdfr veer: Bylo videt, he je vice lidu toho smSrgleni, katde sedadlo v onom Park Bowl bylo rvyprodano, treba tut& hru 0pakovali deset veeera. Ty starodavne obleky, zpilsoby aivota, krasne zpevy a tance, to, vge eloveka tak upouta, .ze by irydriel sedet a poslouchat do rana.

V' patek byl muj posledni den na zapadnim pobteti. Ve 3 hod. o_dpoledne deti mne vzaly na Tetko mne bylo odjitdeti. Zase uplyne rok neb vice netli zase dal uvidint Nebyti to svetove rozharanosti, radej bych zftstala tam. V 5 hodin byla jsem V Los Angeles. Tentokrate jsem se v Los Angeles ani nezastavila.

Maininka zete, Mrs. A. B. Holmes, zaeatkern jara jela nav gtivit ptatele V Anglii a deem v Nerneeku, na svatky vanoeni chce b'Sr ti j1 doma.

V 8 hod. vecer vzala jsem vlak do Houstonu, kde jsem ptijela v 8 hod. v nedeli rano. Na nadrati na nine eekala ma ptitelkyne pi. M. 3. b esak a dcera Helen.

Dopoledne pti torn na gem povidani uteklo jako nic. Odpoledne ptijel pi. Oesa.kove syn JOsef a Wilma. Vzali nas na projitd'ku mestem.

Vt STN1K— WEST, TEXAS jeli jsme zpatky jiz naveder a zase hostina. Ptijeli vgichni Cesakovi, deti i s rodinami, bylo nas kolem velkeho stolu a vgern dobte chutnalo nadivanY krocan a vgechny ty dobroty, co k tomu byly, take mod° zOstalo. P11 palnoci, jak vtichni hoste ode gli, ja si piipomnela, "Konen me= hodovani", neb druhy den, to tit. v pondeli 8. zati v 8 'hod. rano jsem vzala vlak do Bryan, na 10 hodin byla jsem v Bryan, kde na mne dekala ma ptitelkyne pi. Joe Potranella, ktera mne vzala dome.

Doma jsem na:sla vse v nejlep gim potadku, za co2 dekuji p. a pi. Albin Brandesl*n, ie se o vAe tak svedomite starali.

Za tech 6 tYCInfi meho vandrovani poznala a videla hodnY kousek sveta, snad od to nejlaidnej g do to nejbohatSi krajiny sveta. Videla jsem mista, kde na tisici akrech by se ani zajic neuZivil, kddto na jinem miste na jednom akru se smele 5 8 kusil dobytka. VSechen ten rozdil dela. jen voda, zavodnovani. Ukazku toho jsem videla v jednom miste v Arizone: na jedne strane trati, kde se zavodriuje, at radost, jaka bavina a jetel; na druhe strane, kde teprve delali hlavni kandly, zem rovnali a ptipravovali k zavocinovani, naprosto hold pou gt'. Jak. videt, stat Arizona je si toho vedom. velke rozlohy tech rovin se zavodriuji.

Kde je mokio stavi kanaly a ntipravuji pfidu k zavodriovani. Tak jest i na zapadnim pobteM; nebSiti zavodriovani, nebylo by nieeho, a takhle jake krasne sady a zahrady, poeinaje od San Diego jest vteho druhu citrusoveho ovoce, avocado, datle, fiky, vinne revy, pak dale otechy, gvestky, meruriky, tte gne, hrugky jablka, jahody a jablkove sady. Kolem Yakima, Wash. jsou velice krasne sady i ovzdu gi je prosate vuni jablkovou, zeleninove zahrady jsou ponejvice od Los Angeles po San Francisco. V Salinas, Calif., "Heart of Salad Bowl", videt samY salat rozmanite velikosti. Na jednom konci pole seji semena, kousek dale jft je ptekopavaji a postupne je vet& a vetSi, a2 je hotov na sklizeni na druhem konci pole. To je jen proto, ae vgude maji zavedenST bud'to "sprinkle system" neb obydejne zavodnovani. Jinak by tarn malo toho meli.

Ptala bych kaldemu, kdo ma dobrou karu a dobreho kidide kary (to je nutnost v tech vysokYch horach), aby aspori jednou v t.ivote si udelal vSrlet v tu stranu.

Mfaete o torn eisti, videt obrazky, ale nikdy nemate tu pravou ptedstavu, ten poiltek, ten pocit jako kdyt je to videt vlastnima oeima v ptirozene skutednosti.

Ted' zimni dobou budu mit o dem ptemySlet, no, co vzpominat. Kolikrate jsem si ptipadala jako ti cikani ye starem kraji, o kterYch nam rodiei vypraveli jak je vodili postrkem z dediny do dediny. Mit se jako mola jsem se ja., snad bych ani
