MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 21 YOUTH NEWS WESTERN GROUP MET IN McKeesport The Western Classis Youth Feder­ation held their fourth conference on Sunday, October 18, at McKees­port, having representatives present from Detroit, Michigan; Akron and Youngstown, Ohio and Duquesne, Pa., a group of 45 young people. The group participated in the regular Sunday morning worship services, after which registration followed. After lunch Joseph Brindza, President of WCYF welcomed the participants. The Rev. Louis Nagy introduced the topic, “Our Hungar­ian Reformed Heritage.” The topic then was discussed in several groups with the advisors, the Rev. Stephen Szőke, Mr. John Farkas and Mr. William Halas, as leaders. During the business meeting the Executive Committee was enlarged to fulfill the requirements of the Constitution and By-Laws. In addi­tion to the four officers the follow­ing were elected as members-at­­large: Marcy Farkas of Akron, William Kish and John Fodo of Detroit. After supper a social period fol­lowed, in which Mrs. Elenor Edwards, a hypnotist, was the main attraction. This district meeting was educa­tionally enlightening and socially very enjoyable. Ruth Sapos AKRON The “I.A.H.” Youth Fellowship elected the following new officers: Richard Apáti president, Mary Far­kas vice-president, Connie Lee Race recording secretary, Marcy Farkas corresponding secretary, Becky Streid treasurer, Daniel Kovács chaplain. John B. Farkas is their advisor. DUQUESNE Our group was well represented at the district meeting held in Mc­Keesport, on October 18. On Decem­ber 12-13 we were host to the Ex­ecutive Committee of our national organization, the B.Y.F. Our pastor is giving us short lec­tures on the history of the Reformed Church in Hungary as well as in America. They are well received and are profitable for us. We started our Conference Fund for next year with a spaghetti dinner, prepared by volunteers of the Women’s Club of our church. It was a great success. We wish to thank the ladies for their wonderful support. We formed a singing group, “The Carolers,” to render some service to our congregation and to our Sunday School. Janice Horvath TRENTON The constituents of Trenton’s Young People’s Society ventured forth on a hayride on a recent Saturday night. The austere partici­pants were driven through the coun­try in a bucolic tomato truck full of straw owned by one of its mem­bers. The delectable crepuscle cul­minated with a dance in the club­­room where hot cocoa and hot dogs were distributed. To appease our appaling financial situation, two projects were under­taken: a “Novelty Party” and a fashion show. Both of which suc­cored our treasury colossally. The motive for the impetuous vivacity of our monetary department is the largess of seventy dollars commem­orating the Trenton Hungarian Re­formed Church’s Seventieth Anni­versary. The more sinewy components of the club were found at Camp Dela­ware one Sunday demanding the ap­pellation of lumberjacks. Torpid trees were expeditiously converted into firewood for the camp directors by the audacious volunteers. Ken Ture NEWS FROM THE CONGREGATIONS BETHLEHEM Delegations from our Church, headed by the Pastor and the Chief Elder, attended the following affairs of the various sister-churches: in­stallation of Dr. Nyáry in Staten Isltnd, Thanksgiving Dinner in Perth Amboy, 70th anniversary service and banquet in Trenton. CARTERET The Rev. János Pásztor, graduate student at Princeton Theological Seminary will be the “legátus” dur­ing the holidays.

Both, the Men’s Fellowship and the Youth Fellowship are in the process in drawing up new by-laws. The Lorantfy Society made this year’s third $500 donation to the church. Sizeable delegations attended the thanksgiving dinner in Perth Amboy and the 70th anniversary celebration in Trenton. Tickets for the New Year’s Eve Dinner Dance in Bethlen Hall are available from members of the spon­soring Men’s Fellowship. Guests are welcome! DETROIT The construction work on our new church, school and fellowship hall is moving along at a very satisfac­tory pace. This buildng-complex, costing over a half million dollars, will be the largest of its kind among the Hungarian Reformed Churches in America. The burden of the cost will be shared by the dedicated people of the congregation. The dedication services for the new build­ing will be held in the spring of 1965. DUQUESNE Our Fall Fellowship Dinner or Loyalty Supper was held on the first of November, the entertainment was supplied by our Youth Fellowship. Thanksgiving Communion Services were held on Sunday, November 22, with 160 members living with the sacrament. Under the leadership of Robert Szepesi a youth singing group was formed for a threefold purpose: to offer anthems at our Christmas services, to carol at the homes and to encourage hymn-singing in our Sunday School. Our Sunday School Staff held several breakfast meetings instead of the usual evening meetings. These morning sessions proved to be help­ful especially when there were only a limited number of items to be discussed or when a single item was presented for consideration. The Sunday School will present their Christmas program during their morning sessions on December 20 and 27. The Women’s Club invited the Church Council as well as the mem­ber’s husbands to attend their Christmas party on December 16. PERTH AMBOY The Annual Holly Bazaar was held on Sunday December 6th. On Wednesday, December 16th the Men’s Club will hold their Christ­mas Party in the club room. The children’s Christmas program and party will take place on Sunday afternoon December 20th.
