As you know,- July 1st. 1957 was the day of our 60th. Anniversary of the fourding or our S. P. J. S. Fralernal Order.

The pioneers who founded this fraternal order were inen and women of vision who knew that the solution to tomorrow's problems lie in their hands.

They looked ahead, thought ahead, planned ahead and plodded ahead despite of obstacles and because of the times which were later filled with uncertainties due to economical upheavals and major wars.

The past 60 years have also brought many changes throughout our state as well as our nation -- inventions, discoveries in medicines, and science, development of new industries, and cultural fields which have all affected our daily living. Our S. P. J. S. T. fraternal order (our own Texas institution) ha kept pace with the economic development by continually keeping abrest with the needs for the protection of its membership, never forgetting our Founders goals, Brotherhood, Benevolence and Humanitarianism.

As we observe this 60th. Anniversary this year, we should pass into review the progress and events of the past 60 Our late Brother J. R. Kubena one of years, which has through all the econothe founders of our Fraternity and Sec- mic changes that our Texas has witnesretary of the supreme Lodge until his sed, continually -forged forward in death in 1938. growth an.d expension, as witnessed by our gift of a $100,000 to the establishing of a separate Charter for the Rest Home in Texas for Texas Czechs.

Congratulations It is with confidence that we salute to the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the our S. P. J. S. T. fraternal order on this State of Texas, on its 60th Anniversary, anniversary and look forward to its for the splendid progress it has made in continued growth for years and years promoting Benevolence, Humanity and to come , and with this confidence that Fraternity, during its 60 years of exis- you have manifested brothers and sistence. And, it is my most sincere wish ters our S. P. J. S. T. has every reathat this organization will continue to to keep pace with other organizations be even more successful and progressive of its kind to provide our membership in the future. I am indeed proud to be with the kind of protection that arises a member of tis Supreme Lodge. with time and civilization's progress in Fraternally this our democratic America.

WE$T, TEXAS

Special Issue At at time when our membership is asked to contribute with special benefits, and other collections, when our Rest Home Project is being solicited dollar by dollar, we have decided that "Frugality" would be the key-note in .publishing our Anniversary Issue. and therefore , used the usual quality of paper and cuts that were already available to bring into an issue the happenings and mem of many of the presented events, se that there would be no extra outlay in publishing this issue.

We think it proper in view of the above stated circumstances. An extra glossy finality of paper would run into hundreds of dollars for this issue and we feel that you will be just as happy and satisfied with our usual quality of paper.

After all, it's what is in it that interests us' above all!

It would please your editor immensely if you all would be :satisfied. ) • Loa/. Readers: It is with great pleasure that we publish in this issue a Roll of Honor of our living Charter Members as has been compiled by our Secretary of the Supreme Lodge, Brothel' J. F. Clmpick.

We also express our sincere thanks and appreciation for all the fine contributions that have been made to this issue of our Vestnik.

We hope and it is our sincere wish, that we will enjoy continued growth and progress of our Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas. .

For the benefit of our English speaking brothers and sisiters, we would like 'to mention that we honor with this the memory of 25 of our founder who at the memorable day of July 1st. 1897, assembled in the city of La Grange, Texas and pledged allegience to each other and full cooperation to our fraternity which they had just founded.

Oh. how we wish, if it only would have been possible for these founding fathers, that had all gone to their reward, to see today and celebrate with us, the progress .and the growth which has been attained in these first sixty years.

We are certain that their joy and happiness would greet us at this memorable day in our ever expanding group of their successors, wro faithfully adhere to their example and to our motto, "Benevolence, Humanity and Brotherhood."

On this festive day and our 60th Anniversary, we express to all of our brothtiter and sisters whose name are on

Temple, Texas FItOill OUR VICE 1)P.SIDEN7'

Our sincere congratuiati ,.)ns to 60th Anniveisary of the SPJST. Bear Sisters and Brothers: It would be a great injustice to try to write about the history and progress of our SPJST in an article no longer than this . Therefore, I will only briefly outline the purpose lot organizing this great Order and what it has aecomWished.

The S.P.J.S.T. was organized in order to extend Benevolent assistance to its members and to those who are dependent upon them, to create a relief fund for the widows and children of the deceased members. In the early clays of hardships and struggle for .survivorship, the people were more dependent upon one another and by organizing the S. P. J. S. T. they acquired more security for their loved ones and also enabled the members to enjoy their social activities that they were all accustomed to in the countries !rom which they came.

When the Order was incorporated in July, 1897, they issued only one class of insurance, the Ordinary Life, from page 18 to age 50, in the amount of $250.00 to $1,000.00. Today we insure children from the day of birth to age 70 in amounts of $500.00 to $10,000.00.

Independence Day, Today and Yesterday On Thursday, July 4th, we, the people of the United States, commemorate an anniversary and a document. The anniversary, of course, is the birthday of American independence. One hundred and eighty-one years ago the original thirteen American colonies rejected the rule of a foreign king and declared themselves free and independent. And, for posterity, they explained and justified their revolutionary act in the .document we know as the Declaration of Independence.

There was wild rejoicing throughout the land that first week of July, 1776, as Americans voiced their enthusiasm, for the newly declared freedom. Through the years, the Fourth of July has remained a joyous holiday. But it is also a day of dedication and rededication — to the ideals so eloquently expressed in the Declaration of Independence.

The' core of these ideals is to be found in the second paragraph, of the preamble. Here, in a few ringing sentences, Thomas Jefferson expressed the aspiration of men who would be free: "We held these truths to be self-evident — that all men are ?reated equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable tights. that among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." And the Declaration: ". To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men., deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. . Whenever any form of government beeomas , destructrvu of these ends, it is the the 3,7.ell' to alter or abelish it. . " Sash were the tdsic iii••, of the DcTharnas jclferuon wrote claraiion, IdePchum d ',Lase ideas an a yhilosopn7 soveini,ani and msn which had ii.ua',),Ilies; of struggle: m n held that man was a p.;, a era. one •Ji d; that every human soul e erefo"e infinitely precious and sliould be treated as an end in itself; that every human being should have equal opportunities to realize his innate capacities to the fullest; and that on'y where men were free was such self-ree,lization possible, For the nen who signed the Decla-

These freedoms, were what the Declaration of Independence Summed up in the word "liberty". And it was.through the enjoyment of freedoms that Meri were entitled to pursue their happiness.

Let us admit the historic fact that the basic pnilo,sophy of the peelartion of Independence did not originm the maid of Tivinas Jeffersen. It was the common property of many thinkers in the Western World. But, though the Declaration did not dsicover the truths it contained, it expressed these truths in a way that has fined :men's minds ever since.

The ideals embodied in the Declaration of Independence have fnequentl come under attack, in our title' as welk as in times past. And, yet, through al; the attacks the ideal of freedom- has survived and reerein.s universally .recognized as the highest and Most durable of human values.

Cong tulatIons from Our KOVAR, TEXAS

Dear Brothers and Sisters: As a District Organizor, I am taking this opportunity to say a few words at this time of our Sixtieth Anniversary, how much I appreciate our great organization and everything that has been done to make it what it is today.

I am afraid that many times our younger members do not appreciate the good things that have come our way, not just simply by chance, but because laiir good and foresighted parents and grandparents have worked hard to heave behind-for-us, something which in their mind would preserve a better 'ways of life, our language and all of the other good virtues, for which the Czech and Moravian people are generally known.

What else could serve this purpose better than a fraternal organization based on fraternal love and fellowship, with Benevolence, Humanity and Brotherhood as our motto.

Now after sixty years, we all can see now correctly they were in preparing as they did for the future. The tree they have planted sixty years ago has grown into a giant, encompassing the greater part of our large state, bearing more and more good fruit as each year passes by. What a monument for those who planted this seed sixty years ago.

Congratulations to our Sixty Year Anniversary and best wishes to ail or the members and friends, I am Fraternally yours, V. H. Barina, District One Organizor.

DALLAS, TEXAS

Dear Brothers and Sisters: ,Sixty years ago the Slovanic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas, better known as the S. P. J. S. T. was born.

It was conceived by men of vision, faith and courage, men wino were dedicated to Benevolence, limo and Brotherhood. They caine from across the water to this country where rights and liberties of man are God given, and not state granted. This being true, they I gathered together and organized the SPJST on July 1, 1897.

Since that time it has grown and now it has both the adult and Juvenile departments and is a nine million dollar organization. Thanks for this growth not only goes to the founders, the officers and directors, but also to all organizors and members thru all the sixty years as they have all strived for progress and it has been achieved.

Now we have bigger things to look forward to. Our prospects for growth are unlimited. By each and everyone of us working together in harmony, we shall attain this goal and become a 'ijigger and better organiala0on than ever.

However, it is up to us now, and especially the younger generation, to dedicate themselves to the good task now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that our forefathers have started for us, to keep going with those ideas Congratulations to the 60th anniverthat were so close to their hearts, because only in that way can we show our sary of the 8.

this tie SPJST. Fratei nally .yeiirs, Charlie Cei,:y District. Granizer, No. 7 # VIEWS OF AN WZGANIZER Ennis, Texas As we approach the 60th anniversary fif the S. P. J. S. T., we find that fraternal insurance sixty years ago was not tntirely new .

The first lesson of the brotherhood at man was mentioned in the Bible in the dispute between the brothers Cain find Abel. Records show that during the early days of the Horaan Empire and Ancient Greece they had loosely-organized societies that rendered financial ;aid to their n. ,embers in time of sickaess and death. They collected funds from their members, which were held in trust and used to pay for funerals and for fraternal gatherin gs of their members. Even then, centuries before life insurance in today's form, there was the keen appreciation of the cruelties and hardships that Death brings to innocent women and children, On October 27, 1868, John Jordan Upchurch organized the first lodge of fraternal insurance society in the United States. They had no scientific rate charts. Their plan called for the payment of one dollar by each member into the insurance fund and when a member died, the member's dependents were paid up to a limit of $2000.00 out this fund and another dollar was collected from each member. The plan gained popularity and similar lodges were organized throughont the country.

In November,1886, out of largest of these societies that were organized, representatives met in Washington, D. C. and the National Fraternal Congress was organized. Under the guidance of this association, the National Fraternal Congress of America as it is known today, the fraternal insurance organizations have truly become the heritage of the Modern Fraternal Society.

Our own original trembership of 868, sixty years ago, has grown to a total memtership of 29,115 with $28,805.00 insurance in force and have paid benefits in the amount of $5,513,176.00.

Moulton, Texas Dear Readers: The long summer days are here again, but how different from the several previous dry, dusty ones we have experienced. The sound of busy farm machinery echoes over a verdant countryside; the plaintive call of the mourning dove, the gayer "Co-Co" of the Spanish dove, the excited scissoring of the scissor-tails, the "Sweet, sweet" of the lovely cardinal, and the lusty trill of the famous mocking bird, are all mingled with the burn of insects and the drone of flying planes to form a note of summer pleasantra.

Children's, Youth Club It's Roundup Time in Texas 4-H (By Sissy McCloskey) Floresville, Texas Out of every county in Texas there were two girl delegates picked to represent their county at the 4-H Roundup in College Station, at the A. and 1N/1.

College, there were the persons who had won district contests and were trying in the state contests.

Kay Dixon of Northeast High School in San Antonio and I of East Central High School were picked as the two delegates of Bexar County.

The 4-H Roundup was from June 11th. to June 13, 1957. We arrived in College Station about 5:00 o'clock and registered and went to our dormitories assigned us.

On the evening of the 11th. we had district meetings, ate supper, and then went to the "Share-the-Fun-Contest", which is the talent who had won in our district.

On June 12th., Wednesday, all persons who won district contests gave their demonstrations in the state contests and all delegates went to the G. Rollie White Coliseum where the state meeting was held. The theme of this year's Roundup was "People to People Partnership."

We were put into different sections, and on our section "4-H In Action" we had discussion groups. The people who spoke to this group were: Mr. John Banning of Washington, D. C., Mr. Gerald York; Dr. Ralph Duke and Miss Peggy Wilford.

In Memoriam IN MEMORIAM We, the family of Sirs.

CALENDAR

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: On Monday night, June 24, we played Brown Window in our regular City Major League game and dropped a 6 to 0 decision. Actually it was a much better game than the score would indicate as a walk and two errors and 2 hits in the first inning accounted for 3 unearned runs, than 2 more unearned runs on a another error, and thus they had scored 5 runs plus an earned run in the following inning which resulted in six runs and Jim Scoggins hurled a very wand game allOWing 7 hits, 3 walks and striking out 6 of their batter. Bascom Roberts, the Brown Window hurler allowed only 2 hits, and struck out 8 of our batters. Getting the two hits for ns were Joe Jarolik and James Wellman. Jim: Sco g gins pitched and Tommie Speck saught the game and did a very gend joh. Next Monday night, Jul:, 1, we play 49th Tank Btn. at Lawnvieiv Na. 1, game time 8:45 p. In. Then en Monday night .

Suffered From Fallen Stomach

Thos. N. DeLaney

I, too, wish to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Albert H. Broden of Hallettsville for all he has done for Inc. My age is 67. I came all the way here from Denver, Colorado, and I am happy I came. At my age I was rather dubious about getting well because I was doctoring my ailments since 1922. At first a number of Doctors told me I had appendicitis; later I went to one and he told me that I have a prolapsed stomach and not appendicitis, later I found out he was right because my uterus was down too. I had terrific pains in my back and grOins, constipated and heart trouble.

I cannot enumerate the doctors I went to, but all they had for me a belt that dealt inc more misery than when I did not have one on. Doctor Broden examined me and without X-ray just his finger touch in less than five minutes he told me what was wrong and in another half our I was back to health again. It is nothing less than a miracle to be delivered in such .a manner. My organs are now in place and I feel like new born. I feel that Hallettsville should be congratulated for having a wonderful Doctor like Dr. Broden.
