OTAZKA DISTRIKTMCH SCHCZt MINuLtm LISLE Vestniku bylo °madmen°, ze rad aechoslovan eislo 40 svolava schtlzi do Hillje na treti nedeli v eervnu. Bylo ten vysvetleno, jak elenove onoho radu, hlavne sestra Hradecka a bratr RubeS", tuto mYSlenku distriktni schaze dukladne probrali, aby cele veci dali opravdovy zaeatek. Oznarneni bylo jiz napsano a vytisknuto, kdy2 redaktor mel ptilelitost mluviti s ptedsedou SPJST, bratrem Market. Tu teprve vy go najevo, ze elenoye tadu Oechoslovan skuteene podnikaji odvaZnY krok taktka na svou pest. Dle vyjadteni ptedsedy Marka, Hlavni Ufadovna poeitala jen na spoleenou schtizi organisatora, kde byly by projednavany obvykle otazky spadajici do podobnych organisatorskYch schazi. "Lee jestli si toho elenove budou ptati," poznamenal bratr Marek, "budeme miti schazi distriktni. Jen ge do schilze distriktni men bychom svolati delegace nebo zastupce od jinYch radii v onom okoli." Z vYkladu predsedy Marka vyrozumel redaktor, Ze elenove v okoli El Campo maji dosti odvahy vyburcovati sebe 1 ostatni k neeemu novemu, vYznamnemu a dalekosahlemu. Misto organisatorske Schtze, ktera by byla informaneni, chteji miti schazi distriktni, ktera by zaeala pldnovati deco dalAiho pro zalokni detskYch odbora u kaZdeho vetS'iho tadu. Jakoby cela naborova einnost prisla k bodu, kde se cesta rozdvojuje. Bylo vyplanovano jiti do organisatorske schaze a najednou — nic z nieeho ptijde z El Campo mySlenka pustiti se cestou do distriktni schilze. Bratr Marek se vyslovil, 2e budou-li si toho elenove ptati, ptljdemo do distriktni schaze. Je jakY rozdil mezi organisatorskou schazi a distriktni schazi? Je rozdil — a velikY. Mnozi nnSi elenove asi nevedi tento rozdil, lee by byli tea eleny spolka jako Sons of Herman, nebo jine brattske organisace a meli nekdy ptilelitost poznati, jak se distriktni schaze vcdou: Napked si vysvetleme, co jsou organi-

satorske sehitze. Oby6ejne je to schuze svoland ntednikem, ktery vede organisaeM nebo naborou praci. Do takove schaze se dostavi mistni organisatoti, aby probirali zpasoby a methody prodavani Zivotniho poj gteni a ziskavani novYch Clem pro spolek. Organisatorska schaze maze bYti claverna nebo vefejna. V daverne jsou pouze organisatoti. do yerejne schaze jsou zvani vsichni. Dave_rnd schtize je spik jako Skola. Vetejna schaze vypacla, spik jako piknik nebo slavnost. V daverne schazi se miuvi o -lednotlivYch ptipadech a predvadeji ptiklady. Ve vetejne schtzi se tedni ykobecne. Distrikni schaze podoba se spik malemu sjezdu pro omezene okoli. Do distriktni schaze posilaji se zastupci nebo delegace od facia v onom okoli nebo v onom statu. Na severu a vYchodu, kde rozloha jednotlivYch state" je nekdy pouze desetina Texasu, distriktni schtze nazYvaji se "statnimi" nebo "velkoradovYmi." K zaloleni distriktu dochazi bud' dobrovolne mezi sjezdy nebo nasledkem dohody na sjezdech. Dobrovolne utvotenY distrikt je pouze dohoda nekolika okolnich facia pracovati spoleene dle ptijatYch plant pro lepSi spolkovou einnost v okruhu techto radii. TakovY mezi sjezdy utvoreny byl sorganisovan nedavno v severni easti Texasu od mistnich spolka jine bratrske jednoty. Ttinact mistnich spolka dohodlo se vzajemne, Ze si vyberou ze svehn sttedu delegace, ktere se sejdou v Ennis, aby pfijali jiste plany pro lepSi rozvol soolku. KdyZ podobne delegace se ponejpr y sejdou na ureenem miste, bYva prvni ustavujici schaze distriktu. Zjisti se zastoupeni z jinYch mist, prikroei se k volbe ptedsedy pro tuto schazi, a pi.edloM se ptedem vypracovany program, o eem se bude jednati. Jednotlive body programu jsou pttomnYmi delegacemi bud' schvaleny nebo zamitnuty. Dle schvaleneho planu se pokraeuje a probira se bod no bodu. Kdy2 se na nekterem bodu docili clohocly, ma to slou%iti jako direkti-

va a doporueeni vAem radium, kteti v teto distriktni schazi maji zastou ni. Mezi poslednimi—ale didelitYnai—body programu je yolba distriktnich atednika na dobu jednoho roku, potad ptiStich schazi s ohledem na potkeby, ptani a posilneni jinYch radii, a koneene otazka finaneni na hrazeni nahodilYch vyloh. Obyeejne do arednictVa distriktniho je zvolen mistni keditel od hlavniho telesa, aby byla intensivnejSi spolupprace. Vtakove distriktni sclatizi jsou napted probirany body smetujici ku zlepkni stavajicich velmi dalelitYch problemti. Otazky olehave, nepromy gene nebo smetujici ku zmenam stavajicihvavedeni, jsou zpravidla -Opine vyneclaany. Jakekoliv reformy ye smyslu radikalnim jsbu vytazeny ze schtizi distriktriich. Add 6eciloslovan pojal my'Slenku, aby na miste schtlze organisatorske byla v Hillje schtize distriktni. JenZe dosud nikde u naSi SPJST Zadneho distriktu nemdme. Dle vyroku ptedsedy Marka, "jestli si toho elenove budou ptati, bude schitze distriktni." To znamena, ze elenove mohou svoje prvni prOjevit tim, kdyZ se dohodnou ve sve schazi, zdali by utvoteni distriktu v okoli El Campo byli naklonni. Jestli ano, tad by vyslal do schaze konane v Hillje treti nedeli v eervnu, svoji delegaci, aby se podilela na danim j ednani. Jak psala sestra Hradecka, cilem teto distriktni schtize u nich bylo by na pr y -nimste,jakz §dorneb jak sorganisovati u kaaleho vet'Siho tadu Odbor nalacleZe. Tento bod sam o sobe staici na cele jedno odpoledne, obzylagte kdyZ by k nem' byla ptilolena otazka utvoteni distriktu, ktery dosud neexistuje. ftacl eeehoslovan podniknul nee° smeleho. Vedel, ze sclatize bude. Navrhuje, abychom podnikli s nimi nee° smeleho -abychom sorganisovali distrikt, zkusili to v okoli El Campo a vyzkouSeli, zda by to pracovalo. Ptedseda Marek je ochotnY vyhoyeti prdni acne," • Za pokus by to stab°.

otazka dvojnasobne podpory v padu nahodile smrti pro eleny, kteti maji certifikaty tidy "C", "D", nebo "E" kde se poplatky plati jen po ureltou dobu. Byla otazka, jak dlouho plati dvojnasobna podpora. Held° se vyslovil, 2e bylo by tteba zmeniti stanovy, aby dvojnasobna podpora byla prodlou2ena. Hlavni tajemnik, bratr Chupick, pronesl nahled, 2e 'brava a vYhody dvojnasobne podpory dala by se zlepaiti, jen2a Hlavni fitadovna dosud v tom smeru nepodnikla 2adne kroky. Zde je mySlenka, ktera stoji za uvalenou. Dve vjrznamne oslavy budou potadany druhou nedeli tohoto mesice, 10. &lama. Jedna z nich je ji2 dosti sluane oznamena. Je to oslava zalo2eni a 501eteho trvani spolku R. V. 0. S. Ani se nezda, 2e by tomu bylo ji2 padesat rokfi. Ani si neuvedomujeme, kolik dobra bylo prokazano tern, kteti neatestim piisii o sve ochranne stiechy nad hlavami s Ych rodin. A malokdo si uvedomuje, 2e "Texasky Rolnik" ji2 vychazi asi otyticet roku. Bylo to na jate 1911, kdy2 zesnulY Anton Kulhanek, tehdejai tajemnik RVOS, ptiael do tiskarny Texana v Granger, kde jsem tenkrate byl zamestnan jako sazee, aby s vydavatelem Drozdou probrali rnyalenky zalo2eni "Texaskeho Rolnika." Snad by vec nebYvala utkvela v me mysli, nebYti dobrosrdednosti Kulhanka, kterY katclemu zamestnanci v tiskarne ptines1 lahev studeneho piva. Jak ten eas Teti! U2 zde oslava 501eteho trvani spolku RVOS. Druha oslava bude vice soukromeho razu, ale stejne historicky Je to oslava tak Yznamna., 2e ino2no smele rici, 2e dotYka se bud' ptimo nebo neptimo kakieho eeskeho ptistehovalce do Texasu. Je to soukroma oslava a rodinna vzpotninka na pfichod prvnich Leaikarii a 8ileril do Texasu pied sto lety. Pfichod techto prvnich eeskYch pionYrskYch rodin do Texasu nedovedeme dries ani pine oceniti. Sta, a tisice dalaich rodin nasledovalo, sta a tisice pozdejaich ptistehovalcil bylo zde rok po roku piltelsky vitano. Jrnena Leaikaru i se drobatko pozmenila, aby zachovana byla pilvodni vYslovnost deskeho jmena i mezi Amerieany 8iler byl nucen zmeniti se na Schiller, jinak byl by pokroucen na Sajler — ale vnuci, pravnuci a jejich (eti udr2eli si vedomi sveho pfivodu. Proto rodinna oslava stoleta oslava ptichodu Leaikaril a 811erii potadana druhou nedeli, 10. eer na pti La Grange, na Fayette County Fair Ground, u silnice 77 vedouci smerem ku Giddings, bude vice ne2 oslava rodinna. Bude to vzpominka vaech eeskYch imigrantal v Texasu na ty, kdo2 pied sto lety melt odvahu, vytrvalost a nadeji v lepai budoucnost. — Redaktor lituje, 2e ptatelskeho pozvani od bratra J. J.

Vc st edu, dne 6. dervna 1951. El Campo, Texas. Mili bratri a sestry a etenan Vestniku! Chci yam zclelit, le roman "Na Kresach" Jednote velice Skodi. Jako organisator jsem prijel k jednomu elenovi nali Jednoty, bych ziskal jeho syna. Olen clones' Vestnik a Ceti mile jednou. stranku toho romanu a pravi, on svoje deti nam neda, a Ze on vystoupi. Ja jsem mu to rozmlouval, le se mo2na nevedelo, co je, v tom romane, a;Ze se to zase spravi. Tak jsem slibil,ze budu psat do Vestniku, a kazal, me dat jeho jmeno, ale ja jeho jmeno zamleim al do easu. Ono je lehko rozbit elenstvo na dva tabory, ale organisator musi mezi lid a musi vysvetlovat, poueovat a seznamovat lidi s nasi Jednotou, Ze k nam mule pgotrit kaZdY charakterni, bez rozdilu elovek, a nejednou jsem jako pomucku pouzil elanku 91 ye- stanovach a preeet1 prospektovi, ktery elanek zni: "Jakekoliv michani zalelitosti nabolenskYch anebo politickYch do jednani schtizich radovych se zapovida a budiZ povinnosti piedsedajiciho bratra razne v kaZdem podobnem padu zakroeiti". Tak ja'sam myslim, Ze rthua "Na Krcsach" je proti stanovam. My organisatori slibujeme nestrannost y Jednote, ale jak vidite, ye Vestniku jsou dye strany, col' se neshoduje s elankem 91 ye stanovach. My vime, ze je v tom romane kus pra y -dy;alejtmzheovanijdstrya vypinani se strany druhe, totiZ autora. Kdo vi, ktera, strana je spravna a lepgi. Tam byl celY narod, autor byl sam. Bratri, nedelejme v Jednote rozbroj, ale melibychom si vziti priklad a psat Clanky druhu bratra tajemnika, ktery je povzbuzujici jak pro elenstvo tak pro organisatory. Bratr Chupick jde do ohromnYch eislic, padesat tisic, a piece to nic neni. KdyZ by kaZdy Glen ziskal jednoho noveho, udelal by dolare pro Jednotu a tomu novemu elenu by dal to nejlepM pojiWni co mule dostat. Ja jsem sam dal do Jednoty sedm tisic Mentz'. Ike knet e , "Ty blazne!" Ano, jsem, kdybych mel rozum, mohl jsem mit sam nejakou jednotu. Ja, opravdu rad pro Jednotu pracuji, jenom kdy2 neni tech hadek, ale byly doby, 'le se nehodilo vyjet. Organisator musi mezi lid a musi mit rad a verit sam, 'le co prodava, je pravdu to nejlepli, nesmi se zlobit, kdyI nema fispech, protole by tam uz nemohl prijet. A je dosti piipadu al tarn prijede po desate, le si prospekt da Net a vezme pojiSteni u Jednoty a tim ten organisator udelal tomu elovekovi hejlepSi skutek, '2"e mu zaopatril rodinu v padu neltesti nebo umrti. Je to hrozne, kdyl ten livitel opusti pet, lest drobnYch Mi., a ty deti chteji jisti, tak jak dokud zil otec, olaceno do lkoly, a treba nechal dluh za

Jednoho dne se vypravil otec do mesta na trh. Vzal s sebou i maleho Emila. Jdou cestou, a jak se tak rozhlizeli, zavola pojednou otec: "Pohled', Emile, tam leli podkova! Zdvihni ji a stre do kapsy!" "Prot bych ji zdvihal? V.Zdyt' je to kus stareho Zeleza. Pro takovou maliekost se piece nebudu shYbat." Nechal tedy Emil leZet podkovu na ceste a gel dale.

Protole je v nem v ge, od sedlaka aZ do toho pracujiciho lido, kterY ve sve vlastni zemi musel pracovat pro cizi narod. Posledni clobou br. redaktor se zminuje o na gem umeni, jako malovani vaneek --kraslice. To je ta nejvetg i vzpominka na nage mladi a na tu na gi malou vlast, jak jsme se na ty krasne Velikonoeni svatky ,jako male cleti te g ivali, kolik tech krasnYch malovanych vajieek ktery clostaneme. Diky, br. redaktore, nebo treba ze jsi podal jenom malou vzpominku, ale tam je moe a moe, o rein by se dalo psat. Nejenom ty vzpominky na nage mladi, ale i na na g i vlast, nebo Zadna zeme se nedovede timto krasnYm ninenim pochlubit. Komu vajidko daruju, toho srdeene miluju, komu to vaneko dam, toho veirni rada main. Kollin by se nelibily malovane velikonoeni kraslice s kviteeky, slziekarni, jablieky a listeeky! Kaklornene jsme si alespori jednu koupili a opatrne ji ulozili do ptiborniku. Vklycky ji pozdeji nekdo z rodiny rozbil a to potom bylo tolik smutku jako by se rozbila starodavna vaza. BYvaly kdysi ty malovane kraslice jedinou slabou obZivon malereeek ze Slgvacka i Vala gska. Nyni vgak davaji kraslice do druZstva, vlastne 1.Istredi lidove a umelecke vyroby v Uherskem AU, jeho2 jsou zamestnanci a .dostavaji za to norrnalni plat. Pani Jankova ze Slavkova je jednou z deskoslovenskYch umelkyri malereeek. Maluje vaneka uZ od malieka. Vypravela jednou: "To u nibs uZ maminka i statenka malovaly. To vklycky staienka vyttei v torn umeni nektere dite, ktere ji nejradeji pomalad a ktere to take nejlepe umi. A tak se v rodine dedi malovani z generace na generaci." Kdy2 se tak divate jak pani Jankova maluje, uZ vite, prof toto umeni neni tolik rozgiteno mezi muZi. Kdepak by rnuZsky yydrZel secret nad takovou pomalou a drobnou praci! Vklyt' kakle vaneko musi vzit malereeka do ruky nejmene osmkrat. A tech rtiznYch pHpray co je treba! Nejdrive si musi pravit anilinove barvy, fialovou nebo Zlutou. Nad lampiekou rozpusti vosk to tak, ze vosk na lzici poloZi pies hrnek a zatili treba kniZkou a pod ni rozsviti lampleku. A pak trZ muze zaeit. . NejdidelitejAi ze v geho je tak zvana "stuZka". Ovgem pod tim slovem si netimime ptedstavovat stuhu na gaty.

Ceskoslovenske zavody keramicke vyrizovaly , dokonce uz mnoho specialnieh objednavek kraslic od cizinca A tak se kraslice staly jednim z vYvoznich produktii Oeskeho hospodarstvi.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THERE ARE THREE TOPICS which deserve to be mentioned this week. One of them is the proposed meetings to be held by Cechoslovan Lodge No. 40 at Hillje, near El Campo. This Lodge No. 40 in requesting all other lodges in the radius of some 50 miles to meet together on the third Sunday in June for the purpose to discuss the possibility of organizing Junior Departments in every lodge and the procedure to do it. This meeting should have a good , representation from many neighboring lodges as well as the attendance of a number of officers and directors from the Supreme Lodge. )•

ANOTHER INTERESTING BIT OF NEWS came from Sister Mary Chupik secretary of Stefanik No. 142. She reports to the editor that the Houston Fraternal Council was organized Thursday, May 24, in Houston. The first meeting was held in the Kress Building. Brother J. P. Chupick, our supreme secretary was present. Do not get confused with the similarity of the names of these two—they , sound alike, but have different spelling. These two persons are not relatives. Sister Mary Chupik was elected as temporary secretary of the Council until next meeting when election of officers will be held from a larger repesentation. As we understand, only six or seven fraternal orders sent their members to this first meeting. There are at least twenty-five fraternal organizations here in Houston. For that reason, it was decided to have a larger attendance next Thursday, June 7th, when the Houston Fraternal Council will elect its permanent officers. Your editor is thankful to Sister Chupik for this information. ) • di • (, THE THIRD iTk.M OF INTEREST is observance of the Fraternal Week here in Houston with an appropriate program. It is the first time that our two local SPJST lodges come out of their hidden corners, so to speak, and get in the Light of the American public. We have been like a candle under a turnedover box, and, so far as the public was concerned, we have not been known.

He wanted to know if it costs anything to insert a line or two in the WHERE TO GO column. For the explanation of everybody, the column is similar to the one in the Czech section and is prepared by the editor to give our readers a quick glance of the various programs at different places. What the editor would like to see is to get the members interested in their local activities well in advance. It does happen that a lodge may have an ad in the Vestnik, which is sent directly to the printer and publisher, but the editor receives no information regarding the proposed program. When that happens, the column WHERE TO GO does not give the desired information. It is only a matter of five minutes to write your wish on a piece of paper and send it to the editor requesting that he puts it in the "kalendar or WHERE TO GO column. This applies only for activities for our lodges and for other festivities conducted mainly by our members, It also goes for the Sokol Clubs or any other educational affairs, but not for community picnics, rodeos or festivals. ) • 43 • ( YOU MUST HAVE a sense of humor even if you are trying to secure a new member for our Order. You must be cheerful. Prospects are attracted to the cheerful man as steel filings to a magnet. Leave your prospect in good humor and the door will be open for you on your next call.

"FOR A LONG TIME, I avoided to be interested in life insurance for children," was the confession of one regular insurance agent. Then one case changed his mind. Read his story which follows: In filing out the worksheet fob' a pros-, sect, I noticed that he had no 0:surance. on the life of his 10-month-old daughter,, I mentioned the importance of such protection, but neither he nor his wife was interested in buying any insurance for their little girl. Nevertheless, when I returned one week later with my proposal, I recom7 mended insurance on his own life and suggested that he also insure his daughter. Both he and his wife'agreed on the insurance for his life but still , objected to the idea of insuring their child. Before tetting the matter drop,, pointed out that since they were about to buy a home, their entire reserve wbuld, be used for a down-payment and furniture and that if anything should happen to their daughter, they might have to borrow to pay expenses. They had never thought of it that way, so they agreed to let me insure the child, Two months later, when their'cash reserves had been seriously depleted, the daughter was taken ill and died quite suddenly. When I brought the check to them, they told me that if they had not insured the child,. they would have been seriously in debt— for the funeral expenses totaled $1,100, and their bank savings had been far below that figure. Since that time, no child has gone uninsured if I could help it. ) • a • ( THE COMMERCIAL INSURANCE CO. warn their agents not to use the word "policy." They claim it reminds people' of policy racket. They advise to use a better word—contract, which they claim it sounds like business, something worthwhile. A good thing we don't have to change our "certificates" to make it sound like good business. But we should be careful not to say "policy" when we really mean "certificate". ) • 4, • ( The worst trouble with the future is that it seems to be here quicker than it used to.

'HE AMERICAN PRETZEL In searching for some historical event to be mentioned in May, your editor found ',some facts which will interest most of the readers of the Vestnik. This month: marks an important anniversary. This month of May we can observe or celebrate the creation of what has virtually become a national institution-the American pretzel, which is ninety years old today. Don't sneer at the article you read or at the pretzel itself. Instead, you can be munching on the fact that nearly 100 million tons of pretzels are made and consumed in the United States each year. It may be considered as another symbol of American resourcefulness. The first skirmishes of the Civil War were being waged when a wanderer strolled into the tranquility of the pictureSque Pennsylvania Dutch community of LiptZ.: The vagabond, his sack slung to a stick over his shoulder, stopped at the tiny shop of baker William H. Rauch, and requested a temporary job. "I'm a wandering man," he explained, "I don't knew 'how long I'll stay." Baker Rauch wiped his flour-covered hands on the aPron that covered his round belly, and smiled, "Stay as long as you like." And so the itinerant baker went to work for Rauch, making, among other delicacies, the light flavorful pretzels for which the Pennsylvania Dutch were mons. But, as wonderful as the were, these pretzels became stale after 24 hours. Baker Rauch fed his transient employee the gQod, wholesome upstate Dutch, dishes. Most of all, Rauch offered his hobo baker the warmth and hospitality of his home. Finally, however, the,urge to move on forced the wanderer to leave. In gratitude, the vagabond baker showed old man Rauch a formula he had invented to make pretzels that would stay fresh; pretzels that could be made in quantity and sold days later. But Baker Rauch did not appreciate the value of the secret formula. He gave the formula to his apprentice, Julius Sturgis. Sturgis then established the first pretzel factory in the world on Main Street in Lititz. This historic plant is still in operation producing the pretzels that made Lititz famous. FroM this inauspicious beginning, from the gratitude of a vagabond baker, grep the pretzel industry. Today almost 100,000,000 tons of pretzels are baked each year, baked with the secret formula presented to Baker Rauch 90 years ago. The origin of the humble pretzel is shrouded in antiquity; it has been traced

Getting More Out of Life Wouldn't it be great if all of us,— 60,000,000 working Americans — could have more of everything without having to do more ourselves? Sure it would. Ever since the beginning of time, people have tried to find a way of getting the good things of life without having to work more themselves. Some tried it by dividing things up differently and calling it socialism. Other tried it by having the State take over everything and letting a few politi, cians run the lives of the people( No one ever succeeded in these attempts to revise and remodel human nature by changing the form of govern-, ment. No one ever succeeded in re7: pealing the multiplication tables b merely passing a law. The result was ways the same—if people didn't, wei:k more, they didn't have more. There is no such thing as something for nothing, and there nver will , , be. So let's go ever in the other pasture away from the bull. There is only one way to have Anore, and that is to do more. As the English are finding cut, even if you "organize the scarcity and equalize the misery." still it's scarcity and misery' until more services and goods are pre= duced. There's no mystery about that. It • is simple common sense. We have gotten where we are today because, for one motive or another, generations of Americans did their jcbs a little better than they had been done before, and delivered better systems arid better tools to help them. That may not be the most pleasantsounding answer. But it's the only answer that has ever worked since time began. )• •

VESTNIK— WEST, TEXAS

ROOM FOR A GROWING BOY Some years ago, I furnished a model room for a teen-age girls which pleased one mother to such a degree that she reproduced it exactly as it was. Two weeks later, she came into my office with tears in her eyes after :a sleepless night. She explained that as her son returned from delivering papers on his route he brought an' old, battered kitchen table he had picked up at a secondhand store. He remarked, "Seeing Sis's room gave me the idea that if I made my room comfortable to work in, perhaps I'd study more and my grades would improve." The mother went to his room with him, and found that it was furnished with all of the family discards, and nothing had been done to unify them. The room was a dull, drab place. Needless to say, she did something about it. Since that day, I have always been interested in good furnishing ideas for growing children. You don't budget decorating funds for any length of time without discovering that most families cannot puchase for each age group. Only a few can go through the bassinet, crib, junior bed and big bed program. Many decide to jump from the bassinet to the big bed, but do add high sides to the bed until the child is old enough no to fall out. The low chest of drawers, which can be later placed one on top of the other, is practical, as both age groups can use it, and when the two low chests are used separately, they are brought . down in size to meet the child's psychological need. The same principle can be utilized in wall decoration. Framed wallboard or cork panels to which anything that intrigues the child can be stuck on with Scotch tape, and later thumb-tacked, can be hung low and then raised as the child grows. A blackboard, companion size or smaller, is also a wonderful adjunct. Young children love to draw, but the space must be large. Teaching them to draw on the board does protect your walls. Later, the blackboard can be used for messages. When the boy or girl goes to school and begins to have homework, the time has come to provide a truly good desk with a large work surface. Drawers for paper and pencils and side shelves for favorite books and a dictionary are added conveniences. It is surprising to learn how few homes have a good dictionary. It is far easier to start children right in their study habits if they have good tools to work with. There are good study desks in the stores at reasonable prices.

The secondhand stores always have some which can be refinished or painted. And you can make one yourself with two low chests of drawers, or steel files, topped with a piece of plywood or a flush door if you have that much space. If you have a son or daughter ready for school next fall, now is the time to get his or her room ready for work. It makes them feel "grown up" and it starts them on the right road for school. More than that, it makes them realize the value of the right furnishings and good living. ) • 4, o HABIT "When I was young," remarked an old gentleman, "sombody gave me a cucumber in a narrow-necked bottle. I wondered how it got there. But in the garden one day I saw a bottle slipped over a tiny cucumber still on the vine and then I understood. "I often see young people with habits that I wonder any strong sensible person could form. And then I think that likely they grew into them when they were smaller like the cucumber in the bottle." ) • 4 •( TRAVEL A 37-day junket of Europe and Africa is offered to 15 tourists, each of whom picks up a $14,850 tab.

Getting Along With It is impossible to be happy curselve.s if we do not get along harmoniously with our families, our friends and the people with whom we work. A noted scientist recently said, "Learn-. ing the importance of getting along with people is life's most important lesson." Unfortunately many people do not learn that lesson until they have lost m'any of the opportunities which life offers the person who has the friendship and cooperation of others. Skill in getting along with people is even more necessary now than ever because thoughts of war and'inflatiot are added to the normal uncertainties and worries. Emotions are contagious. By learning how to deal with the jittery person, you will protect yourself against an infec-, tion of the jitters. Here are some helpT, ful suggestions. First, it will help you to remind your- , self that the jitters reduce your ability, to think clearly, speak effectively and[act calmly and decisively. Nervousness ,r6bs you of energy in a dozen small ways that add up to a surprising total. 1 You can't afford to indulge in so unprofitable and unpleasant a habit. Second, remember that there is noth, ing• the enemies of this country would like more than to see us become victims of a war of nerves. Much of what is hap-, pening in the world today is part of a calculated plan to unnerve us and therefore render us easy prey to confusion,' and chaos. Third, in dealing with jittery people, remember that a clam, relaxed attitude cn your part will work wonders in moderating the nervousness of the other person, and in maintaining your own corn, posure. It is also well known that it is difficult to feel jittery, irritated or angry when we are completely relaxed physi-tally. When you first feel such emotion;:developing, deliberately relax your jaw muscles, your arms, hands, and 1c4s, and you will be surprised at how much steam it will take out of your emotions. By remaining calm in dealing with jittery persons, you will keep more friends, make better use of your time and accomplish more in your Work. Most important of all, you will have the great satisfaction of knowing that at a time when your country needs clear' heads and calm tempers, you are doing your share to see that it gets what it needs!

LETTERS ANTON S. CERMAK LODGE NO. 56

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Lodge Anton J. Cermak No. 56, in Corpus Christi. Our regular meeting will be held the. first Sunday, June 3rd instead of June 10th. Sokol Union of Corpus Christi will have their annual picnic and program, June 10th. Now a little about our last meeting. There was no meeting held because very few membres were present. As I mentioned in my letter last month. the same members attended the meetings eve/ y time. Members are always welcome to any of our meetings. I wish that the members would mark the date cn their calendars and attend these meetings. This is a good time to come and meet tends and find out the doings of your lodge. The officers are always present, so do your part too. Come on out on this Sunday. Visit your relatives next time. After the Sokol meeting adjourned, around 4 o'clock, the crowd was coming They all come to see a film shown by Mr. Woodman. This film was taken in Africa, France, Sweden and Denmark. These pictures were very interestshowing how the nations of Dark Afriea lived and hunted big game. Mr. Woodman was allowed to kill 200 animals on this trip. He killed 54 animals. Out of some of these animals he had rug s made and had wome of them mounted. He has them at his residence at Corpus Christi. There were visitors from far and wide here to see the films and also attend the dance. Mr. Vavrik and his orchestra of Rosenberg played for both of the dances. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Elles, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jurcak of La Salle, Mr. and Mrs. David of Rio Hondo were among those visitors that I met. Also Mrs. Kukralova of Rosenberg, a very fine person to know. All of you come and visit us in the near future. Fra,turnally, Betty Jurica, Sec'y. (Editor's Note: Your letter pestmarked in Corpus Christi May 25, was delivered in Houston on the fifth day, Tuesday, May 29. It was too late for publication and for announcing the change of time of your meeting. Consequently, two paragraphs of your letter have been left out. We regret this delay. • 4 • ( LODGE POKROK HOUSTON NO. 88

Fort Worth, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: This is a reminder that our regular monthly meeting will be held at the regular time, that is, Sunday, June 10, at 2 p. m. We will have something extra at this meeting and we wish that the attendance would be far greater than usual. As some of you may recall, our Lodge wanted to do something for our junior members for their , cooperation- in our lodge activities. We wish to prepare for them a party as we have been planning for some time, but which we couldn't find the right time to do. The "children party" will be held right after the'regiilar meeting, between 4 and 5 o'clock. We want to have all the children of all of our members to be present. The adult members will be served a luncheon, too. and if anyone suggests some, games to be played, we will play dominoes or bingo. Our lodge Sisters are asked to bring whatever would be fitting to make the party a success. Our entertaining committee will take care of the things for the children, such as Weiner roast, ice cream, soft drinks or whatever children like in general. The children work with us on our program and they should have a nice party for themselves. Kindly bring your children with you when you come to the next regular meeting on the tenth of June. Marie Juran, reporter West, Texas Following is an answer to Mr. Fletchers letter. Will you please publish it? I will send him a copy of the Vestnik. Mr. Frederick F. Fletcher Holtville, Calif. Dear Mr. Fletcher: I was in the U. S. in 1918. I don't know anything about those afairs. What I am talking about, are the memorial days of November 1905. At that time you must have been a youngster of about

'710671c:7day Jttr;- C, 19 51 twelve years of age. You state in your letter you know a Hugo Freund in 1904 to 1909. If you happen to know me it must have been in 1904 or 1905, because in the early part of 1906 I left my horneland. At that time I had completed two years of college work. It was November 25th 1905 when approximately 50,000 people assembled on the Vacla yske namesti, where on the two 150 foot high mastheads, in front of the museum, immense red flags were hoisted. Dr. Soukup and Nemec addressed the megting, 15,000 miners marched from Kladno, about 16 miles from Praha to join the demonstration. I believe it was at Dejvice, gendarmery and soldiers blocked the road. A decoy of several hundred came that way, but the main troop came by the Strahovsa brana, welcomed by the crowd awaiting them on Redecky namesti. After the address of Dr. Soukup the great throng marched thru Fredinandova ulice across the river Vltava no Hradcany. A delegation called on governor Count Coudenhove and presented the demand of the people. I was with that delegation: Dr. Soukup, Nemec, Tuzar, Johannis, myself; and two others, whose names I cannot recall now. Mr. Coudenhove was very distant, wouldn't commit himself in any way except that he will, forward the petition to Baron Gautch Prime Minister at that time. The Hoch and Deutchmeister was in my time always the first Austrian Regiment. May be Honveds and Uhla.ns are the same, I don't know. The Eger Regiment was the 73rd, always hated by the Czech people. 'NoveMber 25th, 1905 was really the beginning of Austria fall. In December charges were prefered against hundreds of people. How many were convicted and sent to jail -ha Pankrac," I don't know. In February 1906 Baron Gautch presented some reforms, especially election reformS favoriable to the people. I believe it was in March 1906 a general pardon for all convicted patriots was demanded, and the entire prosecution stopped. I don't know the details, I was already in the U. S. We may take a trip to California this year. If I do I shall be happy to call on you. By the way, I have a good friend by the name Fletcher near West. Any kin to you? With kindest wishes; Sincerely Hugo Freund ) • 4) • Celebrity: One who works oll his life to become famous enough to be recognized—and then goes around in dark glasses so no one will know who he is.
