English Translation
41 - she is a teacher, a Czech woman, to ignore a German living in the neighborhood, because on 15.3. The main cause of the internal distress of the NG is still the issue of salary of the full-time officials, the difficulties of raising contributions and the persistent withdrawals of members in the foreground, the powerlessness of NG vis-à-vis the non-paying members is already beginning to degrade the general discipline: in a call to its members, the district leadership of Ng von Pisek described NG membership contributions as "a national tax" which every Czech national must sacrifice. From Schüttenhofen (OLB Klattau) it is reported that the NG is trying to win the bonus from its own resources to the members who have quit due to the increased contributions. The NG used the most impossible methods to recover the loss of members. For example, the NG-Ortsleitung Schütten-hofen (OLB Klattau) in the local social institution carried out a member advertising, although the inmates of this house are mostly paralyzed. On questioning, a NG functionary explained that NG had to prove its strength with numbers, because only with numbers can one impress the interpreters. A NG secretary turned to the chairman Nebeský for the low salaries of the NG officials and asked him to pay for the improvement due to him by law. Nebesky explained to him that if he wanted to improve his position, he could start immediately at the beet-keeping centre (Nebeský is also chairman of the bee-keeping association) with the lowest salary. Despite its general low level, the NG has repeatedly tried to expand its political sphere of influence in April, so that, following the Sokol position in NG circles, the idea of extending NG youth to the central organisation of all Czech youth associations was voiced earlier. In addition, the NG mixed itself into work areas for which it does not seem to be called or suitable.
