Prvni pfedseda Jednoty jaty nebyly, a pohrozil jsem delegatt -n onoho sjezdu, ze nebudou-li any opravy prijate ani v priAtim sjezdu, ze budeme nuceni zaloZit spolek navy, a ze i kdybyehom to sami v Texas udelati meli, ze to &Mime.

Nag zaslouZilY bratr Gallia ye svem Z• ivotopisu o sobe mezi jinYm napsal: Moje heslo' bylo: "Neein jinYm, co nechceg aby oni tobe dinili". Rozen ye Migim na Morave dne 29. finora 1859.

Otec Ondrej Gallia a matka byla Marie Kladiva. Do Ameriky prijeli jsme na podzim v roce 1859. Byli jsme etyki bratri: Josef, Karel, Valentin a ja, a dye sestry, Terezie a Klara.

Pristali jsme na plachetni lodi po nekohka tYdenni plavbe v Galvestonu, Texas, pak jell po draze do Alleyton, dale Zeleznice rnevedla. Tam na nas eekali Valentin Haidukk a sy nAugustin Haidukk, Josef Petr a jini. Naloffli nas na volske vozy a dovezli k jejich domovu v Dubine. Mimo na g rodiny bylo s nami Iasi dvacet jinYch mara yskych rodin. Natrhali mechu a sehnali nee° slamy, a tak lads vkchny ubytovali pod kaatYmi stromy v "Heavenly" hotelu u HaidUSkii.

DruhY den se rozjeli htedat "renty" pronajem pirdy, v priIvodu•Augusta HaiduSka, Josefa Petra a Holuba. Nektefi naMi renty v okoli, jini jell az na Bluff a nag otec, V Pavlieek a vdova 4indlerova dostali rent u stareho beelaka Caldwella, di mile na zapad odi nynejkho Schulenburgu. Nak rodina a Payliekova vzali misto v jedinom srubu a pani 8indlerova, se tkemi detmi v dome onoho beelaka, kterY si ji pozdoji vzal za Zenu.

Ona neznala anglicky a on ne Cesky, ale dorozumeli se. Prvnich pet let, a pies obeanskou valku bydleli jsme na rentu u toho pan Caldwella.

V roce 1876. ja nastoupil misto u Karla Brunnera v Praze, ktery mel smikny obchod, salon a taneeni sin a take poStu. Hned prvni mesic pan Brunner mne ustanovil za vYpomocneho poRmistra a hlavniho kiditele obchodu a hospody, kd'e jsme taky hravali divadla s pp. Anton, Josef a Marie KulhankovYmi, Edward Boehm, Anton a Karel Nesrsta, F. J. PeSek, Jan, Anna a Marie Nykel. Kaeenka Svehiova, Marie 8 kopkova, a I. J. Gallia. Pojmenovali jsme na g spolek Josef Kajetan Tyl. Mel jsem se tam dobke, ale ze jsem mel mot sebedfivery a spolehal se na moje mnohe zname, otevfel jsem smiknY obchod s bratrankem moji snoubenky Anny Nyklove, na zkouSku jednoho roku ye Flatonii. Co jsme vydelali na obai, ztratiN jsme na bavin y, kterou jsme museli kupovat, abychom (Install obchod od rolniku, Kd'e rolnik bavinu prodal, tam kupoval zboZi. Po roce jsem se &genii a pkijal misto v obchode firmy White a Bradshaw v

bratr Ignae J. Gallia Grange. Tam jsem se mel velice dobre.

Bydlili tam krajane August Haidukk, Frank Lidiak a Franta Janda, ten prvni co pravnik, Lidiak ca zapisnik dane a Janda, co sazee u anglickeho listu La Grange Journal. Za dva a 01 roku stakidek Robert Wolters ze Schulenburgu mi nabidli mnohem lepAi plat, a jelikoZ. moje firma nechtela mi tolik dati, tak jsem ono misto prijal, kde jsem pracoval aZ do podzimu v race 1888.

Pak jsem atevkel smiknY obchod s F. Ruskem ye Weimar, ale po roce moji znami z okoli Schulenburgu a Engle mne svedli, abych pre yzal jejich obchodni a resideneni budovy v Engle. Josef Schindler, infrj Avakr, vykoupil podil Ruska a stehovali jsme se do Engle. Pak Schindler velice nerad obsluhoval poStu, kterou jsem mel. Vykoupil jsem jeho podil a zakidil novou budovu pro smikny obchod, salon, traneoni zabavy, skladiSte pro bavinene semeno, kovarnu, piecharnu a masarnu. Vedlo se mi dobke aZ pfllla galvestonska bouke (hurika'n), kterY znieil vAeckut polni Arodu. DruhYm rokem po one bouki k nom bouti zanesenY pilaus rok pa roce arody baviny niell, take rolnici malo udelali a mnozi rok od roku padali do •dluhfi a stehovali se jinam a mile za! zbai zfistavali dluZni dim dale tim vice.

— V roce 1891, co zastupce texaskych kadfr CSPS v Cedar Rapids, Ia., tlaeil jsem na mnohe opravy stanov, ktere pri-

Oekal jsem, ale ani priSti sjezci , nale opravy neprijal — jako rovne pra.vo 'Zen, rozdeleni poplatkil cue stall atd, — tak ja se dal do psani a koneene ye svolane schtizi v O : ech texaskych radii zalozili jsme v La Grange, Texas, v mesici prosinci SPJST. 1896 naSi Texaskoci Jednotu Moje Skolni vzdelani eili nevz(lelani, poealo hned doma; otec nas uci.l aZ do roku 1869, kdy pan F. J. Pelek prikl z Cech a pobal Cesky vyneovat v Log cabine na Mime Sramkove, pozdeji pastavili obeane verejnou: Akolu v Praze brali i anglickeho ueitele pana Dobsseho, kanaZ jsem .chodil aZ do smrti otcovy v roce 1876. Pak jsem na.vtevoval veeerni 8. kolit ye Flatonia a La Grange a take Ceti prava u firmy Timmons a Brown v La Grange. Ale ty razne fiskoky advokatske se mi protivily. Mel jsem nabidku od okresniho pravnika pana Hula, abych s nim, vstoupil do spolku a ja mu pravil: Jak del gi eas pozoruji, ty vale soudy zde, to se mi nejen nelibi, ale protivi. Ja ostanu v obchocle, kde se nemusi elovek tolik vykro:ucet, aby se elovek uZivil. V ten das, jako nyni, ti nejlepSi advokati se hadavali pied kaZdYin soudem, co je zakonite . a: co neni.

Byl jsem s otcem na fame as do roku 1890. Pomery byly tehdy docela jine jsou dnes. Baylna byla site jen za deset centii libra, ale vge bylo pomerne te2 mnchem lacinejSi, blahobyt site na farmach nebyl, ale zda se, le nemeli Aide ani tolik starosti, jake je trapi v dneSni dobe. Ve Fayetteville byl tehdy faralem katolicke osady Rev. Jos. Chromeik, prvni desky katolickY knez v Texasu, ktery pled odjezdem do Ameriky rolQu 1872, byval kaplanem u nas v Lichnove na Morave.

Mary Adamek Svetlik was a daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Steve Adamek. _She was born in Rostalkova, Moravia in Czechoslovakia, December 24, 1872.

When Mary was six months old her parents decided to come with the rest of the family to America. She was so tiny and puny that the old hat maker told her father she would never make the voyage, but she would die and be thrown overboard to the fish.

V Ei S T N I — WEST, TEXAS Since Mary was so- frail, her parents were afraid to nave her vaccinated.

Therefore, when they boarded the boat, Mary was hidden, and every time the inspector came, her mother slipped her under the bed.

This family left Europe about April 1, 1873, and landed in Galveston about May 9, 1873. Mr. Adamek had lost his money, so they were penniless in a strange world. Since Mary and her mother were sick, the first few years were very hard, but kind neighbors helped them Out. They labored and farmed in Austin: County near Nelsonville for ten years.

From here they moved to Washington.

County near Wesley, Texas.

Mary went to school just long enough to learn how to read. Being the oldest of 12 children, she had to work very hard.

She heMed her father plow with the oxen and later with mules.

February 12, 1890, when she was seventeen, she married John Svetlik.

They lived with her parents and made a crop. When the crop was gathered, they went to Burleson County to pick cotton for Mr. Svetlik's sister. When the cotton was over, they moved to Burlington where they made a crop. From there they moved to Edgeworth in Bell County. Later, they bought a little farm at Marlow in Milani County. Here Mary gave birth to six children. Two of these died and were buried at Marlow. With their four children they moved to Bryant Station community to be near ,Mr. Svetlik's brothel', Steve. Here five children were born to Mary and John Svetlik. One of the sons died in infancy. Now that the farm was gettin.g too small for the growing family, they sold out and bought a larger farm in the Ad Hall community. In the winter of 1912 they and their eight children moved in their nice new home. Here they were very busy and happy; however, in a few days the meningitis epidemic struck, taking the life of their 16-yearold son, Joe. The loss was great and hard to take, and for years, Mary shed many tears over the loss of her son, Toe. In the year of 1917, Mary gave birth to their 12th child, a daughter.

In 191{, the World War broke out, and two of the oldest sons were drafted into the U. S. Army and were shipped to France for duty. Those were sad days for Mary, but , fie prayed and .hoped until they both retm7ned safely.

February 12, 1940, Mr. and Mrs. John Svetlik celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with all of their children, grandchildren, relatives, and friends

Strana 11 present.

On July 16, 1960, her oldest daughter, Mary, was buried. She has never recovered from that loss, yet she took it like a good soldier.

In 1950, Mary and John celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. They were happily married for 61 years. John died in 1951.

Living children are John, Frank, Steve, Anton, Rosie, Annie, and Frances.

All are SPJST members, but one.

She has 29 grandchildren, 32 greatgrandchild. Throughout her life time, Mary went through thick and thin. Slhe. was a wonderful wife as well as a mother. She is always happy and ready to help those that need her. Besides raising a large family, dhe acted as a midwife, delivering over 30 babies, and also nursed her mother until her death at the age of 93.

Mary misses her husband verymuch, but today at 89 years of age in spite of her sore leg, she is still keeping house for !herself and son, Frank. She also helps take tare of her grandchildren. In spite of Mary's age, she is very fortunate to be blessed with good eye sight and enjoys reading the Vestnik very much.

Mary is 'a very wonderful person who loves all and is loved by all. )0(

In 1869 with her parents and . grandmother they migrated to America, arriving at Galveston in the Spring of 1869 after a voyage of eight weeks. From Galveston they traveled by train to BreuL arc, TexaS, and by wagon to Wesley, Washington County, where they lived for several years.

For a while they lived in a small house belonging to one of the local landowners. Father did common labor to earn a living. The fact that her mother was a trained mid-wife, necissated her being away from home often, therefore, 'Teresie had to manage the home and care for her small sisters, The first Summer they picked cotton for a landowner whose field was a great distance from their home, they stayed

in the field all day. One day when they returned home they found a pile of ashes where their home stood and everything they brought with them from the Old Country was destroyed by fire.

Through the kindness of the good people they got a new start. Teir neighbor Ripple offered them a home so that in the first year in America they had a second home, even though it was a small one-room home, without windows and only one door, a fireplace where all the cooking was done, as they had no stove. For three years they rented from the same landowner then they moved to another place in the same vicinity where they lived for five years, then two years on another place and at the end of the year 1880 they moved from Wesley to Lavaca County to the community of Bila Hora, where they arrived on June 1, 1881.

On November 24th, 1884, Teresie was married to Josof Valchar and they moved to Colorado County in the community of Oakland, where they lived for several years. In 1889 they bought a farm near Oakland. Incidentally, Sister Valchar still lives on the same farm, with her son, who now owns the farm.

Sister and Brother Valchar were blessed with 12 children, two sons and ten daughters, four of whom died. Sister Valchar has nine grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren.

Sister and Brother Valchar were Charter members of our Order and Lodge No. 16 Bila Hora. Sister Valchar is the only living charter member of Lodge Bila Elora No. 16. Most of her children with husbands and wives and grandchildren with husbands and wives belong to Lodge Bila bora No. 16 SPJST. Sister and Brother Valchar were true fraternalists, being not only charter members of ;SPJST but also of Lodge No. 33 RVOS of which Brother Valchar was the first secretary.

Brother Valchar passed away on November 1, 1939. Sister Valcha,r is the oldest living members in our Order, she will celebrate her 100th birthday on November 26th, 1962.

west of Moulton. From here she, her older brother Frank and younger sister Mary, attended Prof. Ellis' School at Old Moulton, one of the best schools of its time, which our mother's well spoken English attests. Being the oldest daughter of a fast-growing family, after four school sessions she had to remain at home to assist with the many duties.

Thus she grew to young womanhood.

At the age of 17, she and Anton Svoboda entered into the holy bonds of matrimony, making their home for the first eight years at Nickel. During that time they joined the CSPS, organization lodge at Shiner but members soon realized that this was far too expensive, they having to pay assessments for the numerous deaths in the north, therefore, the farsighted and bright leaders conceived the idea of organizing a benevolent order of Texas, and hence, the SPJST was born. Thus the Svoboda's became charter members of Lodge Texasky Mir No. 10 of Shiner. There their' membership remained for a number of years even when they moved to Wilson County where they bought a tract of virgin land.

It was in this wilderness of mesquite and cactus, inhabited plentifully with coyote and rattlesnake, that Mrs. Svoboda's pioneering spirit stood the test of time — and won! By and By, the Czechs of the Poth and Floresville vicinities organized Lodge Vesmir, No. 61, and hence, Anton and Vera Svoboda transferred their membership there. The meetings were held in the Waldheim school, Sunday beforenoons, just a very short distance from the Svoboda home. After adjourning, the memibers gathered at the Svoboda's for the noon meal and a few social hours. By this time, four daughters and three sons rounded out the household.

The Svoboda's then purchased part of the Culak homestead at Nickel, Gonzales County, and the family moved back there. They transferred their membership to Lodge Pokrok Moulton, No. 27.

Vera Svoboda served as god-mother of the new emblem of the lodge, which her two eldest daughters made. On the day of dedication Mrs. Svoboda spoke appropriate lines while presenting the flag.

In the fall of 1920, Mr. Svoboda was critically injured by a runaway team which turned a wagon loaded with unginned cotton over on him. For the remaining 30 years of his life, he was unable to do another stroke of work. Gentle and patient in his suffering, stalwart Mrs. Svoboda ministered to his needs and by the sweat of her 'brow made an honest living for herself and him, never once seeking welfare aid. Always an

Wednesday, June 27, 1962 ardent gardner, possessor of a green thumb, one recalls the lines so fitting to her: "A garden is a plot of ground, Where man, in blossoms pink and white, Expresses dreams and joys profound, Which he Can neither speak or write."

In 1925 Mrs. Svoboda rented out the farm at Nickel and moved to the southern part of Moulton where she bought a home. Here the partnership of almost 60 years ended when Mr. Svoboda died on November 16, 1950. That same fall, Culak Lodge, No. 165 was organized and quite naturally, since it was named after her parents Vera transferred her memmership there.

Sorrow and grief such as only good mothers experience, came twice to this wonderful mother, first, when her eldest son, Vladik, died at the age of 28 in 1926, and secondly, when her second daughter, Ludmila Darilek, died in 1956.

She has two living sons, namely, Miro and Emil of Danbury; three daughters, Vlasta Kulhanek of Hempstead, Rt. 3, Libbie Vlasak of Corpus Christi, and Rose Helweg, who lives with and takes care of her mother . . . we might add that besides rearing her own seven children, Mrs. Svoboda mothered six others, orphans and half-orphans, part time.

Now at the advanced age of 88, having suffered two strokes, she is confined mostly to her bed and wheel-chair.

Though her eyesight and hearing are failing, Mrs. Svoboda takes life in its stride, exemplifying the 'Patience of Job,' always pleasant and agreeable with those who 'care for her and those who call on her. Her greatest joy is when any of her children, ten grandchildren, or thirty-one great-grandchildren come to visit.

LODGE NO. 92 FORT WORTH Dear Readers: Lodge Svaz Cechoslovanu No. 92 held its regular lodge meeting Sunday, June 10, and lunch after the meeting.

The Lodge also had its Mother's and Father's Day Program last Sunday, it being on Father's Day this year. The oldest mother present was our Sister Helen Zich. The youngest mother was our Sister Helen Marie Robinette. The oldest father present was Brother Joseph Botik Sr. and the youngest father was Brother Hobby McMillian. The Lodge also honored one of our fine sisters Who has been very good writing, in the Vestnik from 1933 until 1961. Her husband was also very active in our lodge and also her son worked in the lodge and last but not least her daughters have also helped.

We want to honor this fine family, our Lodge brothers and sisters and the one mentioned is no one other than Sister Marie Juran and her family. I think she is very deserving of the honor.

The Lodge will have a Dance selebrating the 65th anniversary of the SPJST on Tuesday July 3, there will also be a speaker from the Supreme Lodge. So everyone remember this and make plans to come. Be sure and tell all your friends about it and bring some one with you. There will be food in the kitchen, on that night. That is Tuesday, July 3, and he music will be by Tiny Breazec and his Orchestra from Minnesota, playing fine old time polka music.

Fraternally, Jay Dee Waggoner )O( LODGE NO. 87, TEMPLE, TEXAS Dear Members and Friends: Our last meeting was held on June 12, 1962 at 7:30 p.m. at 1805 E.

A big "thank you" goes out to everyone that worked and made this celebration a success. Many thanks to all the ladies that donated cakes, and to the ladies that stood up and served for hours. We also thank the people that loaned the lodge their tables and chairs and any thing else that was borrowed.

Bartek Youth Director, Lodge No. 87 ) 0( LODGE NO. 47, SEATON Dear Members: Being your Secretary of Lodge No. 47 with duties to keep minutes of every lodge meeting, I am forced to make the following corrections in two statements made by our reporter in the June 13th issue of the Vestnik. These corrections are for the information of those members who left the last regular meeting before it adjourned and for those members not attending.

1. Our lodge president did dismiss all members on the building committee.

(I am not arguing if this dismissal was legal or not, but the committee was pronounced dismissed).

2. Our meeting was adjourned at 1') p.m. by the president and the next regular meeting was called for the 1st Sunday in July.

The Secretary's minutes in our next meeting will read as I stated above, and whether the chair or members accept these minutes or not will not change my desicion , to resign as your secretary of Lodge No. 47. Without' any further explanations or discussions I will leave my secretary's chair right after reading the minutes in our July meeting.

Fraternally, Emil J. Hejl Secretary, Lodge No. 47 )0( The real threat to liberty will come, not "from any sudden, calculated onslaught," but in a "steady erosion of self-reliant citizenship, and in excessive power concentration, resulting from the lodging of more and more decisions in an ever growing federal bureaucracy."

VESTNIK6 W T, TEXAS -,-

di Year Of .Fraternal

As all of you know, July first, marks the day of our Anniversary; of the founding of our SPJST fraternal Order.

The pioneers Who founded this fraternal order were men and women of vision who knew that the solution to their problems were solely in their hands. They thought ahead and planned well. In spite of obstacles and hard times, they advanced. Today we are enjoying the fruits of their foresightedness in our organization, which 'organization has achieved such remarkable growth.

As we observe this sixty-fifth anniversary year, we should pass in review all of the progress that our state and nation has advanced: our fraternal order keeping pace with this advancement, It is with confidence that we salute our fraternal order an its anniversary and look forward to its continued progress for years and years to come. It shall pro vide its membership the kind of protection that arises from time to time as civilization progresses and keeps pace with other organizations of its kind.

Today the ,SPJST has many million dollars of insurance in force — eloquent approval of the concepts upon which this fraternal benefit society was founded in 1897.

In 1897, twenty-two men concerned over the financial straits of the widows of their communities, met in La Grange.

There they laid the groundwork for a fraternal benefit society based on the concepts of mutual aid rather than profit.

From this humble origin, the SPJST has steadily grown in size and stature in both its fraternal activities and in the insurance protection offered.

Today, the scope of activities includes an extensive fraternal and benevolent program for members of all ages.

Our SPJST has faithfully paid every obligation to its membership since its organization. In earlier times, the bulk of benefits paid went to survivors. Today the SPJST pays some of these benefits to living members also.

Future "benefits paid" will reflect this trend still more. New insurance plans are continually being introduced to meet new living standards. The funds these plans provide will be used not only for food and shelter, but also for education, retirement and other living needs.

In 1956 and 196.0 the SPJST introduced several new plans. They will bring

•e

ever greater security to the membership.

The benefit aid to members in dollars and cents represent the business or insurance side of the SPJST operations.

Over and above this, the members receive many plus benefits in the form of fraternal, charitable and benevolent programs. These programs are administered through its corporate structure, its lodges, as a fraternal benefit society.

In the coming years, we shall pass this legacy to our children. As impressive and great as it was in our times, from the times of our founders, our children Will steer the organization to ever greater growth and success and bequeath it to their ;children even great er and more impressive than when we received it from our founding fathers.

Some of the pictures and comments which we are presenting to you in this issue about our founders should bring to mind that no success in this world is achieved without sacrifice and without hard work.

It is a great pleasure for us to publish a Roll of Honor of our living and departed Charter Members in this issue, as has been compiled by our Supreme.

Lodge Secretary, Brother Raymond Urbanovsky.

We also wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for all of the fine contributions that heve been made to this Special Issue of our Vestnik by some of our members. It is our sincere wish that our fraternity will enjoy continued growth and progress so that this would enable us to perform even greater 'humanitarian deeds in the future than we 'have done in the past.

For some of you younger members, the fact that we honor our .founders with this issue who on the memorable day of July First, 189 .7 assembled in the city of LaGrange, Texas and pledged allegiance to each other in this fraternity which they founded, should be an encouragement to work with us, as we recognize every food effort.

Let us, therefore, all together express our deep. and sincere appreciation and thanks for all of the unselfish services which our brothers and sisters have rendered throughout the years of our fraternity on this sixty-fifth anniversary, so that our motto, Benevolence, Humanity.and Brotherhood would prevail.

May we all inscribe, our own names to a Roll of Honor in 1962 by securing at least one new member to our SPJST

Wednesday, June 27, 1962 hich would be tthe most valuable ex)ression of our devotion to our fraternity.

We know that our forefathers, the founders, of our, .SPJST have done their part. They handed us this Order and it is only proper and it is our duty as their descendants to dedicate ourselves to the great task remaining before us, — to carry on.

We should be inspired by the memory of the deeds of our founders of our Order living as well as those that passed away.

Let us resolve that their work and efforts have not been in vain and we shall continue to work and grow in membership and service and shall remain true to our mottos, "Benevolence, Humanity, and Brotherhood:' May we noW at the conclusion of this writing express our heartfelt and best wishes to our living Charter Members and to others of our membership, for a continued happy and contented life.

Let's all work together in brotherly love and harmony as lang as we are living together.

Sincerely, Your Editor ) 0( UALLETTSVILLE LODGE NO 4 YOUTH

Dear Readers: I guess everyone is on vacation by this time. I hope you all have a nice and happy vacation.

THE S.P.J.S.T. REST HOME

Upon the death of Frank Moucka, Editor of the official organ of S.P.J.S.T., a movement was originated by Bozena Valcik to create a fund for the erection of a rest home.

With the generous contributions and with untiring efforts of the membership of the Order a fund was created. This fund was called the "Moucka's Fund", in memory of Editor Frank Moucka. In the XVII Convention of SPJST held in Temple, during 1956, a resolution was adopted for the Order to donate $100,000.00 towards the erection of a rest home.

In 1957 a non-profit corporation was chartered which is governed by seven directors, members of the Order one from each of the seven districts of our Order. The Board of Directors made plans and the above building became a reality, and commenced operation in December, 1957. This building consists of an enormous entrance lobby, a dining area, kitchen, recreation room and rooms to house 40 guests. In the beginning, when the guests became infirm the Home was obliged to discharge them due to lack of facilities to care for the infirm.

In 1960 the need for the care of the invalids became more acute and upon the plea of Bro. Troubil, Manager and his wife, the Board of Directors decided to add a new wing to the Rest Home and equip it as an infirmary to take care of the invalid bed patients. This wing which accomodates 14 guests has been completed and is now filled to capacity.

The S.P.J.S.T. Rest Home is modern in every respect and has been used as a model by the State Health Department.

The present Board of Directors is composed of Henry Schovajsa, La Grange, Texas ; Edwin Kovar, Taylor, Texas ; Cyril (Sid) Pokladnik, Dallas, Texas; Fred Kveton, Abernathy, Texas ; J. M. Skrabanek, Bellaire, Texas ; E. P. Sralla, Edna, Texas; and H. W. Marcak, Kenedy, Texas. Rudolph Troubil, Manager.
