HAPPY 83 rd BIRTHDAY

(Continued from Page 1) retirement assured. The keyword for the William Penn’s greatness is PROTECTION. And we are so glad that in our 83rd year we can render it in a greater measure than ever before.

In addition to financial values and economic protection, the William Penn offers a treasure which will grow ever more important as the 90th and 100th birthdays come by: FELLOWSHIP.

In an increasingly depersonalizing society the human touch will be dearer and more meaningful. There was a tendency for too much self-sufficiency and aloneness in the past. In the time of the early settlers when you could hear the neighbor’s dog bark, it was time to move on, the country was too crowded for comfort. We carried this apartheid to the degree where many a man could spend a whole evening in front of the television set and .not saying a word, alone too. But as we become surfeited with mere entertainment, the desire for companionship will return with a surge. And this is where our William Penn is “keeping the channels open”. With fraternal meetings, with bowling teams, the annual howling meet, with Christmas programs, and suppers, picnics and dances, we keep alive FELLOWSHIP. In a world where it would be so easy to file a man away by badge number, social security number, army number, credit card number, zip code number, let’s not lose sight of the desire for team work, togetherness in human fellowship.

In the future then, in addition to all the great programs we have for the enlarging of our services, the further diversification of our protection, let us keep fraternalism resurgent, vital and joyful; and together again say: “HAPPY 83rd BIRTHDAY”. Elmer Charles
