JOSEPH DARAGO, Supreme President. The Qreater Love You may sail the seven seas, my dear, And love each one in turn, You may take to ships and leave me here Alone on shore to yearn, But do I rant? You know I can’t, For I know you’ll soon return. For Norwegian blood is in your veins, The sea’s wild call is strong, You may love each wave where Neptune reigns, And love the wind’s loud song. But I’m not mad, For I know, lad, You’ll come home where you belong. You’will soon come home, your sailings o’er, For though you love the sea, There’s a greater love for home and shore, A greater love for me, And so I wait, And pray kind Fate, Guard you where’er you may be. —BETTY CAROL BALEGA Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps Introducing... JOSEPH SZENTKIRÁLYI As the years go on the immigrant generations which constitute the Verhovay are becoming less and less, and 'their American, bora chil­dren and grandchildren , will some day fall heir to our organization, named after the great statesman, Julius Verhovay. But American bom and American bred though the new generations are, they must be taught and they must be reminded that their ancestral race and nation has had a great and noble past, with accomplishments and culture to be proud of. Knowing these facts, we young Verhovays are sure to become better Americans, for honoring one’s forebears does in no wise conflict with one’s loyalty to country, but rather increases it. Joseph Szentkirályi has been doing an excellent job of enlightening our young on the great men and his­torical figures of Hungary, for, being a highly educated man, both in this country and abroad, and librarian of the Hungarian Reference Library in New York City, Mr. Szentkirályi is in a posi­tion to give the readers the fullest measure of informa­tion on Hungarian history. Mr. Szentkirályi is a mem­ber of Branch 516, New York City. Due to the many addition­al duties which have been imposed on him, Mr. Szent­királyi has of late been un­able to contribute regularly his HUNGARIAN PERSON­JOURNALISTIC TIDBITS By Andrew C. Simcho Munhall, Pennsylvania Member of .Branch 278, Omaha, Nebraska When you sit down to write a story for' the news­paper have you any idea what type of story you will write? Newspapers classify their stories in the following manner: First, and by far the most common, is the news item, of which you have already heard plenty; second is the syndicated column,. written by such authors as Win­­chell, Brisbane, Hears, O. O. McIntyre, Fannie Hurst, E. V. Durling, Drew and Pear­son, and a host of others. These men have readers numbering in the millions; third there, is the human in­terest stories. One of the best human interest stories is the reply of a New York paper editor to a girl named Betty, with regards to whether or not there is a Santa Claus. In this category are the s« called “sob sisters,” whose idea is to bring about a sympathetic reaction among the readers. Feature stories are those written by experts on a certain line. Their opinions and statements are AGES column. We sincerely wish that he will be able to return soon, because the HUNGARIAN PERSON­AGES series of Mr. Szentki­rályi has a definite mission to perform. based on knowledge and not casual information. In every newspaper you will find an editorial or several editorials commenting on local and na­tional affairs, generally with the idea in mind of bring­ing to the public an intellec­tual résumé, conclusion and criticism of what is häppen­­ing in the world. Most in­significant, but still a vital part of any paper, is the filler copy, two or three lines of explanatory matter, on something of no importance but of general information, such as, so many millions of bushels of spuds were grown in Idaho in one year.

Secretary Morgenthau announc­ed the extension of Defense Savings Stamps sales to retail outlets everywhere after a meet­ing at the Treasury Department on Tuesday, Augifbt 12, when the executives of associations repre­senting more than a million stores pledged immediate participation of their members in the Defense Savings Program.

The splendid spirit shown by the retailers of the nation in putting their associations behind the sale of Defense Savings Stamps is sure to have a stimulating effect in advancing the whole Program. It is another indication of the American determination to pro­ceed wholeheartedly toward suc­cess in our National Defense effort. “The thanks of the Treasury and of the Government are due the leaders of retail industry and to their member stores all over the nation for the enthusiasm with which they are entering into the plans for ‘Retailers for De­­iense’ Week, and for the con­tinuous activity pledged in the sale of Defense Savings Stamps.” Stamps will be sold in the re­tail stores at convenient points, the representatives of the retail associations explained.
