Bethlen Naptár, 1952 (Ligonier)
To our second generation. Superindent's annual report of the activities and life in the Bethlen Home
190 BETHLEN NAPTÁR where they take an active part in the weekly youth programs. The Children’s Home has had a teacher for the past year in the person of Mrs. Margaret Miron, who has contributed much to the well-balanced program of Christian home training, proper entertainment and Bible School work in the summer as well as teaching the Hungarian language to our boys and girls. Through our program, the children become not only good citizens and well-behaved children in the home, but they stand the test in the public school also, which recognizes them as outstanding children of the communty. They are active in scout work and many other community projects. Our home is under state supervision and is rated as an A-l institution. OUR STAFF Our staff members during the years 1950—1951 were the following: 1. Rev. Joseph Kecskemethy, superintendent, who is responsible for the entire institution and is the treasurer under bond.
