Na druhe strane listu byl dopis od tajemnika jednoho domaciho du, kde si tajemnik trpce stekval na liknavost 'Mena jeho tadu nasledujicimi slovy: "OdbYvali jsme schazi za ptitomnosti jedenacti cientit. Bratti, pozastavte se trochu a ptemY glejte: jedenact Menu z padesati sedmi. Chteli jsme rokovati o pofadani oslavy, ale pro neptitornnost 46 dlenri museli jsme toho nechat."

Pod heslern "podpora," ktereZto heslo ma nage SPJST ye svem gtitu, vyrozumivame vice ne2 penektou pornoc v kriticke chvili. Slovem a heslem tim chceme vyjadtiti jakousi obsluhu a vYpomoc jeden druhemu phi katcle pfilelitosti. Snad bychom zde mohli teZ pouZit doeela spra yno anglickeho slova "service" nebo deskeho vYrazu "vzajemna sluZba." ktera, je dobrovolnYm zavazkem jedinca vadi celku a ceiku vadi jedinci. A zde snad to slovo "dobrovoina" neni zrovna ptilehaye, ponevad2 co dinime dobrovolne, 'mime radi. A mezi na gimi eleny je tolik, co neradi chodi do schazi a s nechuti ptijimaji na sebe spolkove povinnosti. Led na druhe strane mame °pet tisice uvedomelYch diems, kteti chapaji, ze elovek nemuze zits pro sebe, stat, jako socha bez zajmu na svem okoli, k Olovek pottebuje, aby sve aspechy s jinYmi sdilel, s jinymi se radoval nebo spolueitil a pomahal. Vzajemna sluZba neni abet.' Podpora druheho je soudasti lidske povahy. Knihovniee radu Pokrok lloustonn, sestra Ratena Hanusova, ktera svaj atad zastava jiZ po velmi hezkou Nadu let, oznamila potadateli, ze navrh na pageni knih od jejiho tadu jinam se ji velmi zamlouva, a ze jej ptednese v ptigti dove schilzi ku schvaleni od dlenstva. Sestra Homusova slibuje pledati jeji knihovni seznam vetejnosti, aby dtenati jinde, dojde-li k uskuteeneni plany, men ptehied, co si z Houstonu mohou vypajditi. Doufame, ze knihovnik u tadu C. 28, bratr Mikug , a knihovnik u Sokola v Ennis, bratr LatnovskY, rovneZ podaji sve asudky. A mel-li by nekdo nekde zachovale knihy, s nimit si nevi rady, oznamte to pofadateli, kterY, yam ochotne poradi, jak vase knihy daly by se zuZitkovati. Vam, brathi knihovnici a sestry knihovnice, pfedem dik za va gi ochotu. NevysvetlitelnYm zpiisobem pofadatel zavadil o struny vzpominek svYm nedavnYm elankem "Bratrstvi je na gim heslem." Doglo mu celkem osm dotazi1 na

Strana 3 jmeno Hatlapatka. Jeden se ptal, zdali Hatlapatka pochazel od RoZnova, jinY chtel vedit, zda Hatlapatka dosud pracuje v tiskarne 6echoslovaka, tketi psal, prod potadatel vymyslil si takove "c.hytlaye" jmeno, kdy2 tim byl minen nekdo jiny, atd. Na vysvetlenou potadatel uvadi strudne, ze kdy roku 1911 pti gel k "Texanu" v Granger, aby se tam zapracoval do sazedskeho, tiskafskeho a novinatskeho temesla, seznamil se tam s mladikem, kterY byl o dva roky star gi. Mla dik pochatel z Horni Beevy u RoZnova, kde jeho rodina ma dosud hostinec, Hatlapatkova hospoda. Mladik ptijel do Ameriky ku svemu strYci Pavlu Malinovi. Zde si zkratil jmeno, zameniv Bejamin Haltapatka za Ben Hatka. "Tiapa vypadia," kikaval. Hatka mel na pisatele techto tadkri veliky vliv. Uvedl ho do 4Sokola, nation ho myslet samostatne, pro nej knihy, b l mu po jistou cloth" stargim bratrem. "Nestaj v my glenkach na jednom miste," bylo Hatkovo oblibene reeni; jinymi slovy tote2, co Tyrgovo heslo "VednY ruch a vedna nespokojenost." Paitel Hatka padnul nekde ye Francii v 1918. Zda jeho manZelka a syn dosud ziji, potadateli neni dries znamo. Pfispevek bratra Studnieneho, ktery je uvetejnen v tomto 'aisle pod nazvem "Krejenvina a gevcovina", zasluhuje trochu vice pozornosti jiz proto, ze v nem najdete nejmene tucet deskYch slov, ktera jsou yam neznama. Kdo z vas, etenaft restniku, milk lici, co je "user"? A talcovYch slov ma br. StudnienY ye svem elanku hodne. Ku slovu "jaternice" dovoluje si potadatel poznamku, ze "jaternice" je kniZni vYraz, pouZivanY stargimi spisovateli jako Neruda„ avgak Jirasek, Rais, elejbar, Terezic Nova kova pou gvali jit lidove formy "jitrniec."

WHY SOME PEOPLE, even including a few fraternalists, believe that an cldline insurance policy is better than a fraternal life insurance certificate, is something that has kept me astounded for years. Not only does the fraternal certificate contain more of value for the member, but the fraternal societies originated and introduced many of the features which the companies sell today. The companies copied them. During many years of life insurance history, women were not insured, The commercial companies refused to taire them. Over 50 years ago several fraternal benefit societies were organized by women for women, and women were admitted without any ,penalty. Those women's societies were successful, and today they are among the best managed in the fraternal system. Later a number of societies were organized to admit both men and women, and they are successful. Finally the commercial companies followed suit. They were educated by the fraternal societies. ) ORGANIZING juniors into active units provides an excellent means of increasing adult protection. In the process of organizing such a unit, the field representative has access to homes and parents who became interested because they are always deeply concerned with the activities and welfare of their children. • &• THE FIRST fraternal benefit society was organized by laboring men for laboring men. The protection carried finally resolved itself into a monthlypremium business. Therefore t h e monthly payment plan was introduced for the benefit of those who found that plan convenient. The industrial companies came along and built their business on that feature. To this day, however, the cost of collecting monthly premiums in a fraternal society is much less than in an industrial company—to the advantage of and saving for the insured members.

YOU MAY ASK, if the fraternal benefit societies pioneered in so many worth-while features of life insurance, how does it come that the companies have outstripped them? One answer is that the societies went through a readjustment period which ended about 1930; the readjustment of commercial life insurance ended with the Armstrong InveStigation in 1907. The companies are a generation ahead. Another answer is salesmanship. It is the larger answer. While the fraternal societies are better equipped to give service, the commercial companies have promoted salesmanship to the nth degree. ) • " • (, DESERVING students in 27 accredited Lutheran liberal arts colleges in the United States have recently received the $300 scholarships known as The Lutheran Brotherhood Scholar-. ships. Inaugurated by resolution of the Eoard of Directors of the Lutheran Brotherhood at their meeting on JUly 28, 1950, the program is an attempt to carry out the objectives of Lutheran Brotherhood as brought cut in its Articles of Incorporation. )• 4, • NOT UNTIL about the year 1918 did the fraternal societies begin to write juvenile insurance. It was in 1915 that the National Fraternal Congress approved "whole family protection," which meant the admission of children to the lodges of the societies. Before that practically all juvenile insurance was written by the industrial companies; the ordinary companies thought the business too small to bother with. After the societies organized their junior departments and found them a success, some began to write "educational insurance" on infants. These contracts were usually endowment-atage-18. They were popular. So, about seven' years ago the oldline ordinary companies awoke to the possibilities of this business. With great fanfare they introduced "educational policies," following in the footsteps of the fraternal societies.

WHAT IS THE REASON for foreign language newspapers and niaazines? The same as for the existence of the societies. People who came from foreign lands to mske their home in America found themselves in strange Customs of centuries standing,, were not, the customs., of the new land. Therefore it was natural for them to group together—for companionship, for mutual aid and to be taught by those who preceeded them how to get along. That was the way the nationality societies affiliated with the National Fraternal Congress get their start. People who founded them wanted mutual protection, and fraternal insurance was the best means. It is my belief that such societies have done more for. Americanization than any of the do-gooders who appointed themselves for that purpose. • "e IF YOU WERE GOING from these United States to make your home in a land where even the language was strange, you would take along some of the customs and culture that are distinctly American. Your heart would have some strings attached to this land. That is the case with the nationality societies. Some have a rich culture. Think of the vigor of a people who maintained their language and literature through 'centuries under oppression, when it was against the law to speak or write their natural language! Then the music. the folk dances and the artistry of coustume designing provide colorful cultures that should be preserved. • 4, • YOU MAY ASK, why try to preserve old culture? Would you. reader, want; to go through life without a background—a noble foundation that explains you to yourself? The answer is that America needs the best of the Old World. It does not need slavery or other totalitarian practices. Therefore, receiving the best that the nationality groups bring with them, makes America a richer country in the true values of life.
