"PRODA\ A NEVRSTA" V AUSTDI NAD MALO je krajanu, kteti by nevedeli neco o Smetanove °peke S "Prodand nevesta." Ale rovneZ malo je mezi nalim lidem v Texasu tech, kdok meli to Stesti videti tuto operu sehranou na jevigti. Byl jsem asi sedmnactiletYm nedorostencem, kdy dostala se mi do rukou mala kniZka, nesouci nazev "Prodand nevesta -- libretto od Karla Sabiny." KniZka zdala se mi tenkrate jako sbirka nejakYch verSU nebo zpevfl, ktere jiste osoby mely mluviti nebo zpivati. Jmeno spisovatele Karla Sabiny mne pletlo. SlYchaval jsem, ze "Prodanou" napsal Bedtich Smetana. Ptal jsem se star'aiho bratra. Od bratra dostal jsem vysvetleni, Ze "Prodand nevesta" je opera, totiZ divadlo, ktere od zaeatku al do konce je samY zpev a hudba. Bratr mi vysvetlil, ze knilka, kterou jsem videl, obsahovala jen slova nebo text opery. Hudbu sloZil Smetana a slova k huclbe napsal Sabina. Vysvetloval mi starSi bratr, Ze opera obyeejne zaeina hudebni pkedehrou neZ se opona zvedne, a pak Ze teprve zaene j6dna scena po druhe, kde jsou zpevy sborove, dueta, &Hove zpevy, a zase sborove zpevy, co vAechno je doprovazeno dvaceti, tficeti nebo i gedesati hudebniky, kteti vAak museji hrati tak umele a jemne, aby bylo zpovaky na jeviAti z•etelne slykti. Pozdeji as v Americe, kdy ptiSly do mOdy gramofony a hudebni rekordy, byla ptilelitost zakoupiti nejaky eeskY rekord, kterY mel ozna6eni "arie z Prodane nevesty." Pomalu seznamovai jsem se vic a vice s jednotlivymi vYfratky z "Prodane." Lee nemel jsem toho Stesti, bych slyAel celou operu — od pkedehry as po jasave sborove finale — aZ kdy jsem, si potidil rekordovaci ptistroj a od ptitele Vladimira Maudra jsem si yypiljell celY soubor — asi 32 — hudebnich rekordil a reprodukoval jsem "Prodanou" pro sviij paitek na ma,gnetickY drat, ktery hraje bez zastaNky. .,. , , jsem seni v'S qk do one velike sku-

po etyti veeery v poslednim tYdnu dubna, povaZoval jsem to za povinnost doplniti sve nedostatky a miti to uspokojeni, ze jsem Smetanovu "Prodanou" alespon jednou v Zivote videl. Veda jsem, ze oper nebude podana

"NaS syn hraje -aloha koktaveho Va,Ska, tak jsme se museli ptijeti podivat," sclelovali nam anglicky. 6esky neznali, ale jrneno "Vakk" vyslovili eiste. Byli Amerioane.

P. J. S. T. UZ se od to doby staly velke znieny v na gi rodine, ale to mohou si doPlniti °pet ti mlad gi, kteti o jednotlivYch iidalostech Roth. * * ZE SLUNNEHO TEXASU (Napsala RilZena IVIikeskova-Truksova) Josef Mikeska se narodil dne 23. btezna r. 1866 v Zadveticich na Morave. Bodice jeho tarn meli male hospodatstvi, kde se jim pri velke sporivosti dobre verho. Jako novorozene Josef velice plakaval, po tti mesice s nim matka nemohla nikam jiti pro jeho ktik. Tehdy meli v Zadvericich pruske vojsko, k Mikeskiim prisli tti dtitstojnici, jeden se zlobil, kdyZ, videl ze matka stale kiuka chovala a nebo kolebala, by netval. Rikal, aby ho nechala leZet, kdyZ nema hlad. Mel" ten sync Franti gka, o 10 let star giho. Josef se ve gkole dobte ueil. Po vyjiti obecne Skoly pomahal rodienm pH hospodatstvi. Otec jeho bYval druZbou pti svatbach, tak byl east() z domu pr ye. PM tech svatbach zvyknul pith, a z dobreho hospodate se stal tyran Zeny a deti, tedy Josef 17 let se rozhodnul, ze odjede do Ameriky, ale kde vzit penize, aby otec nevedel? V torn Case uz star gi bratr mel doma to hospodatstvi, tedy Josefovi mel davat podil. Dal mu penize na cestovne, papiry obstaral agent ve Vizovicich. Dal mu take naueeni, jak si ma na draze a v g ude poeinat, v Bremen aby s nikym cizim nikam negel. Listek na drahu mu koupil jen do Berlina, ze jako jen jede na praci do Nemecka, a tarn aby si koupil listek do Bremen. Bylo to pro Josofa zle, slova nemecky neumel, nikde nikdy nebyl a ted' mei jet do Berlina! Ale dojel. Ukazali mu s vlaku dolu, sestoupil, pytel v norm mel Saty a chleba hodili za nim. Tak stal a rozmY glel se, co ted', kam jit? KaZdeho, kdo vedle nej gel, se ptal: Kudy jede vlak do Bremen? KaZ"dy jen zakroutil hlavou, ze nerozumi a gel od nej. Tu k nemu ptistoupi muZ a mluvi nemecky, Josef eesky, a zas ze do Bremen. Chlap, asi velky gibal, mu porozumel, anebo skuteene rozumel eesky. Vedl Josefa k vlaku, kterY prase tarn

couval, ukazal mu by sednul do vlaku, dal mu jakYsi papir a Josef mu za to dal 10 marek. Chlap se ztratil a vlak pomalu jel. Najednou zastavil, zaeal couvat zpet k mistu kde stal dtive, a Josefovi ukazali vase dolt:" Tak vzal pytel mezi domy hledat Zelezniei do Bremen. Celt' zmofeny Sel a Sel, az vySel von mesta k jakemusi jezirku. Tarn hodil pytel na zem, sam sebou ten bacil na vein plakal. KdyZ" se vyplakal, gel zase zpet a ehodil mezi domy rely uplakanY. JakYsi elovelt si ho v gimnul, zastavil a ptal -se polsky, kam jde? No ze do Bremen, a Ze nemitZe najit pc) kterem vlaku ma jet. Ten Polak ho vedi po schodech do velkeho domu, ukazal mu kde si ma kotipit listek a na hodinach kdy vlak pojede. Rekl, aby si sednul a eekal, a ode gel. Tak Josef eekal, ani hladu strachem necitil, nebot' vedel, ze jiste je gte zabloudi, nahodou nejaka, spasa. Za ehvili ptigla Zena se dvema chlapci a mluvila s niirii eesky. Josef byl hned jako v sedmem nebi. Fetal se ji, kam jede, no do Bremen. A tak tiZ se ji nespustil, kudY Ala ona, vgade gel za ni, nasedali do vlaku. KdyZ ptijeli do Bremen, ptigel muz do vlaku a volal na Josefa: Vy jste Mikeska ze Zadvetic, pojd'te sem! TotiZ agent ye Vizovicich mu dal na klobouk jakYsi znak, a tak zastupce pteplavni firmy Kareg a Stocky v Bremen lined vedel, kdo to je. Ale dab mu ptemlouvani neZ Josefa dostal, by s nim gel. Dovedl ho do jejich ruradovny a ukazal mu svetnioku, kde musel bYti tYden, neZli vajel parnik do Galvestonu. Jel lodi "Weser". Zatim co eekal na lod', ptijelo vice vystehovalcU ze Zadvetic, a tak na lodi jim bylo uZ veselo. Cilem jejich cesty byla osada Nelsonville. Josef gel k Holikum. Pani Holikova, byla sestrenka stareho Mikesky, otce Josofa. Druhe rano, kdyZ" ho gi Holikovi 101rovali kone, Josef stal u nich a v ge si prohlizel — bylo jim v gecko divne. Start' Holik ptigel za nimi a pra y_il: Josefe, nestrti, tady v Americe nic nenastojig! Do Josefa jako by pichnul, skooil a honem zapinal teminky opaene a ho gi se mu small. Brzo si na gel sluZbu, slouzil na farme za $9.00 mesione. Nasledujici rok za nim pitela matka a bratr s rodinou, tak Josef pak hospodatil s matkou. Do Ameriky prijel v tijnu r. 1883 a v rote 1887 se stehovali do okresu Waller, do Sunny Side, kde s bratrem zakoupili farmy, ktere brzy ztratili. Pak si Josef s matkou najmuli farmu, kam se prave meli stehovat, kdyZ ja prijela s rodiei a dvema mladgimi sestrami do Ameriky. Bylo to na Vanoce r. 1889. Prijeli jsme ten ke znamYm, k sousedu Josefa Mikesky, Torn Repkovi. Doti Rep-

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR I AM AN AMERICAN DAY, May 20, gives us all a chance to recount the blessings of citizenship in this greatest of all nations. The observance of this day at every local lodge of our SPJST should be an occasion to remind us, the descendants of immigrants, that we can enjoy the matchless advantages of American citizenship only so long as we accept our responsibility to share the management of the government in which we are all equal partners. •( • EACH YEAR, as the second Sunday in May approaches, Jeff Davis, uncrowned King of the Hoboes of America, issues a command to his knights of the road to return home for Mothers Day. Rich or poor, great or humble, the universal appeal of Mother's Day has completely captivated the human heart. Various are the ways in which Mother's Day is commemorated.. With some, flowers, gifts, postcards, or telegrams convey the remembrance—but most treasured Mother's Day tribute of all is just a simple visit. )•&• OVER AND AGAIN the question arises: "How much insurance should a man have? What is an adequate amount of insurance in this case?" Don't answer that question for the prospect. Let him answer it for himself by asking him two questions. First, "How much of your present income comes from your Investments and how much of it comes from your earnings?" Usually it's about 99% income from earnings and 1% from investments! After he has thought that over for a while, ask him, "What is the minimum income your family must have now, and what income will you need when all of your income must come from investments?" • & • (—_ MANY OF OUR SOLICITORS overlook the fact that our own members should be the best prospects for additional insurance. You can approach them any time. Some of them only wait to be prompted a bit. • ORGANIZE A JUNIOR CLUB in your lodge. Write to Fayetteville for instructions.

THIRTEEN YEARS AGO; a group of citizens at Nanitowoc, Wisconsin, assembled in a meeting of a certain fraternal lodge, were discussing plans as how to attract young men and women. "Why not contact those who would become 21 years of age wihtin the years?" was the suggestion. From this insignificant remark a far-reaching and compelling idea developed. Some suggested that the move should be called "I am An American Day", because it would be for the benefit of those who would become the new citizens. This is just an example of an idea catching and growing. We will celebrate the "I Am An American Day" on the 20th of May. )• •( A SALESMAN with the Imperial Life explains how he gets cash with 90 per cent of his applications. He uses two pens. "I make sure that I have two pens in my pocket when I'm on a closing interview. I use one pen to fill out the application, and when I reach the premium question, I take out the other pen, hand it to the ;applicant, and say, `Fill in the check while I'm completing the rest of this form.' It works nine times out of ten. Not only does it put the policy in force immediately, but there's no question of his signing the application because he has alreday paid for the policy." LAST YEAR OUR LOCAL ORGANIZERS wrote over one million of insurance. How many organizers? I don't know. But we have some that secured as much as one hundred thousand last year. There are some that secured $50,000. And there are some insurance men who are not satisfied unless theysingly—get not less than one million. That is when a man thinks well enough of himself to go after the business in a professional way. Some companies have clubs composed of one-million a year producers. When one man does what all of us cannot do, that's profession.

WHEN YOU GET AN APPLICATION on Monday, that should not mean that you are through working and soliciting until next week. That is the logical time to go right on.

LIFE INSURANCE IS always paid for with cheap dollar. No one sacrifices any of the necessities of life to pay for life insurance; rather, they pay' for life insurance out of surplus. But, life insurance always pays off in clear ittillars--dollars that will be necessary .- to take care of the necessities of life. ) • 4 • ( DO YOU KNOW that a lodge with only ten or twelve members is not tolerated in any progressive organization?

Now they're digging it up because it saves lives. Scientists of Ricker Laboratories, Inc., discovered that roots of tickle weed will produce a drug useful against high blood pressure. Guilmette and Sons of Lewiston, Maine, (buyers for the Ricker company) are offering $40 per 100 pounds for clean, brittle-dry roots. Tickle weeds grow from Maine to Georgia, and as far west as Minnesota. It goes by a lot of other names-- Indian poke, duckretter, earth gall, bugworth, bugbane, green hellebore, false hellebore, bear corn, or cow poke. Will the stuff ever become a cultivated crop? It won't come fast until somebody finds some seed. Dr. F. B. Steinmetz, head of the department of botany at the University of Maine, has has been looking for seed, but hasn't found any yet. Plants can be.grown from roots divisions, but that won't allow for very rapid increase. Meanwhile, from just what grows naturally, Maine farmers this year will gross upwards to $100,000.

IT TAKES A CHALLENGE Little Dickie is less than two years old. But like all other children, even much older, he shows the best in him more readily if a problem is a challenge. For instance, Dickie's mother would be pleaased if Dickie could show his uncle how quickly Dickie's jigsaw puzzle he could assemble. But, no. Dickie was independent. Without a word, Dickie's uncle began to put together the puzzle, clumsily, and winking at the onlookers. fickle watched, too. After a minute of observing uncle's awkward movements, he couldn't stand it any longer. Obligingly, se showed his uncle how quickly and easily the puzzle can be put together. It takes a challenge, a subtle one, to handle children. Let me give you a story of a boy who had an awful time with arithmetic. It is taken and condensed from a book "Talks to Parents and Teachers", by Homer Lane It gives you the technique of handling certain situations with some children. The story opens in a children "courtroom" with "kids jury." The principal of a boarding school for boys tells what has happened. Order!" demanded the 14-year-old judge sternly. The scene was the weekly "court" of a self-governing boarding school for delinquent boys. I, the school principal, had laughed aloud. I felt decidedly embarrased, for I could not explain myself then. Jerry, the 13-year-old culprit before the court, eyed me with suspicion and disapproval. The school matron had charged Jetry with having a lighted lamp in his room at 11:15 one night during the week. He was being tried for this breach of the "citizens" laws. The judge had asked him what he had been doing with a light at that time of night, and Jerry had replied, "Dona' rithmetic." This made me laugh, but it was not in derision. Six months before, Jerry had been sent to our school for "chronic truancy." In a special school for backward children he had been considered "not bright." In spite of, or rather, because of, repeated punishments, he skipped school often. Jerry was excellent at games and loved all kinds of handicraft work, which he did neatly and well. But in the schoolroom he was the dunce of his class. He could learn nothing, though he seemed most anxious to learn. He would sit at his desk staring with determination at

"I simply do not understand," says Mrs. Jones, 'Why Henry thinks he needs more pocket money. And there's no reason on earth why he can't afford to take me out more often." "What gets me," says Mr. Jones, "is the way all the household and clothing money disappears. Now, if things were run a little more efficiently around here." Any of you husbands and wives ever say (or maybe secretly think) something along that line? If so, here is a specially designed quiz contest for married couples which will: 1. let you check up on how the other half lives. 2. show how much you know about running the other side, of the family. 3. determine who knows the more about family operating costs. The quiz for men asks the approximate cost of 25 purchases or expenses that women ordinarily handle. The other, for women, lists 25 cost items that the man of the house most generally deals with. Here are the rules of the game. 1. Wives will ask their husbands the questions headed "For men only." Husbands will ask their wives the questiont, headed "For Women Only." In some cases a price ranges, rather than the approximate price, must serve. 2. Score 4 points for each correct answer. But here's the catch: no answer are given here. It is up to the quizzer to supply . them,, and until he or she does so, the quizzeree's answer must be presumed to be correct. 3. No fair looking at price tags, sales slips or newspaper advertisements that may be lying about, until you have taken the test. 4. The editor cannot be responsible for settling and dispute about accuracy of an answer. He recommends charity and good will, and suggests an answer within 10 per cent or so of the right amount be scored as correct. 5. Low scorer washes the supper dishes.

On account of the Mother's Day being observed the secondSunday in May, the regular monthly meeting of our Lodge will be held a week later, Sunday, May 20th. Every member of our lodge' is also notified and requested to pay his or her dues in the meeting. This request is made' with the purpose to get more of you to attend the lodge meeting. It is unpleasant to collect the dues any time and anywhere, and then have only the bare number of six members to have the required quorum out of the total of 85 members. Sisters and Brothers, we have to wake up from the slumber of indifference, and we have to have more members attending our meetings. The next Meeting will be held in the Fire Department building, at 10:00 a': m. May 20th.

This Sunday, May 13, is to be observed as Mother's Day. We are preparing a fitting program at our Hall which will start at 75:00 p. m. The door will open at 4:00. The Entertaining Committee told me that they will combine also Father's Day, which is to observed the third Sunday in June. We shall have both of them together—happier and giving both sides an equal honor. Right after the program we shall have supper; and starting at 8:00 p. in. the dance will begin. The famous Ray Baca orchestra will play for the dance. Two Sisters and two Brothers—members on Cechoslovan Lodge—will receive appropriate gifts. I cannot tell more, but come and see for yourselves. Every member of our Lodge is invited to be present. Bring with you all your friends, regardless of whether members cr not. We do wish to make this a real celebration of two important holi7 days. Try to be at the Hall before the program starts. The late arrivals do not improve the program. Come to see the program presented by the children, stay for the supper, and enjoy the good music of Ray Baca. Our Sisters are requested to help with the things needed to make our sup(Continued on page 25.)

It is my wish that all our mothers enjoy this Mother's Day with their . children happily and in the best of health. Fraternally, Marie Juran, reporter ) • 4 • LODGE ANTON J. CERMAK NO. 56 Corpus Christi Dear Sisters and Brothers: I desire to give notice to the members of local lodge Anton J. Cermak No. 56 that in our last meeting on April 9, we agreed to serve lunch on Mother's Day May 15th. Sisters are urged to bring cakes, pies, potato salad, etc. for the lunch. Sokol Sisters and Brothers are helping also, as this Mother's Day lunch is sponsored by both Sokol Lodge and Anton J. Cermak. Our regular meeting will be held as usually, at 2 o'clock. Following this meeting, Sokol meeting will be held. Lunch will be served after both meetings adjourn. A film "Wild Game Hunt in Africa" will be shown by Mr. Woodman. Every one is invited to see this interesting film. There will be no charge for this. All we want is a large attendance. This is my first time to write in "Vestnik," since I've been elected Sec. of our lodge. A little about our lodge. The meetings are poorly attended. What's the reason? Don't know why. Looks as if the same brothers and sisters attend the meetings every time. Le't all of us attend our meetings regular. At last we got that much needed rain. It was our first rain in 9 months. Our crops are all 'up and are looking fine. Right now we need more rain and less night winds. (when the wind quits blowing from the South, here comes one from the North.) Don't forget the date May 13th. Everyone is cordially invited. Let's all members be present at our next meeting and make a big day of the occasion, Mother's DaY.

and as a result when I find the time to write something in our publication, my mind becomes blank. No doubt there are many others in, the same boat with me which is evidenced by the lack of articles published by our great membership. Let's all try to do something about it. The Editor of our herald will be glad to publish your letter for the benefit of the membership. Next year the SPJST. Convention will be held in Houston. Perhaps many bf our members have good suggestions to submit for consideration before the Convention. When a good idea presents itself why not jot it down immediately and file it away in a place where it will not be lost. Right now I am lost in trying to write something worthwhile, but want to take this opportunity to remind all members of Lodge Pokrok Houston No. 88 that our regular meeting will be held Monday night at 8:00 p. in., May 14, 1951, and that it will please your elected officers if more of you sisters and brothers get in the habit of attending the meetings and exercising your rights as members. If you have any good suggestion, or even grievances, get them out of your system at the meetings where something might be done to please you and perhaps benefit all concerned. Please remember that our regular meetings are held on the second Monday night, of each month. A cash door, or attendance, prize is awarded to some lucky member at each meeting. Last month my name was drawn for the prize and was I surprised. Attend the meetings and you may be the next lucky one. As you know that for your entertainment, dances arc held each Sunday night, also quite a number of members and their friends enjoy playing bingo each Saturday night. Recently several of us started domino games which is becoming popular again amongst our members who take advantage of their lodge hall. It was necessary to order several new tables to take care of the demand of players. For the benefit of those members who have been tied down or think they are getting old, why not break loose once in a while and come up to see what is going on. We'll be looking for you. In the first paragraph I wrote about thinking up new ideas and one just struck me and that is to remind some of you to look over the worth of your estate. We all realize that inflation is here and that the dollar is worth less than half of what it was several years ago. What are we doing about our insurance protection? Are we increasing it to keep up with our incomes so that our families will not suffer when we

have to stop bringing home the bacon? Why not invest some of your surplus in SPJST insurance certificates. You have the privilege of paying premiums monthly if you so desire. If you already have an ordinary life cr 20 year pay certificate, why not take out an extra endowment certificate which will pay you cash in full at a time when you will need it most. Quite a number of our members do not have the double indemnity feature in case of accidental death. You can have this added at very little cost. Our lodge has several organizers which includes myself will be glad to furnish you any information. You may have friends who would like to join our Lodge also. If you will call one of our organizers I am certain he or she will be glad to call on them and there is no obligation. Our Lodge has the largest membership of any SPJST lodge in Texas. You can keep it in the foreground by recommending new members and might be doing them a favor at the same time. Fraternally yours, Albert J. Bristikr See'y.

PEOPLE ARE FUNNIER THAN ANYBODY A six-year-old girl submitted the following composition on "people" to her teacher. "People are composed of girls and boys, also men and women. Boys are an awful bother. They want everything they see except soap. A woman is a grown uP girl with children. My pa is such a nice man that I think he must have been a girl when he was a boy. Saskatoon's Victoria Public School broke out in such a rash of yo-yos recently that the principal was driven to banishing them entirely. The spinners obediently stopped spinning—all but one dreamy six-year-old who sauntered right past the principal's office yo-yoing like sixty. Of course the principal happened to step out just at the right moment and simultaneously the well-worn string snapped and the red and black spinner rolled to a stop at the great man's feet. Picking it up he ordered the young fellow to hand over the string, too, and, "See me in my office at 3:30." The first grader came knocking at his door when classes ended. He greeted the principal with a polite, "Hello, Did you get my yo-yo fixed."
