charitable and benevolent work. Our aims of getting everyone behind our cause in a united effort were stressed, for in unity there is strength. At our 1980 Convention it was most appropriate to honor two great fraternalists, our President, Arpad George and Executive V.P., László L. Eszenyi. A plaque was presented to each of them for their dedicated services as they prepared for retirement. It is our prayer that the blessing of Almighty God will be with them and their family as they enjoy these golden years in good health and happiness. CLAIM SETTEMENT, CERTIFICATE LOANS 1979 U. S. A.
