MESSAGE OF THE SUPREME PRESIDENT A great ovation greeted Supreme President John Bencze, who paid tribute to the officers and members of Branch 361 for having made the most of advantageous circumstances and then continued: “I am happy to see all these happy - faces around me. Ever since the beginning of the World War, I was surrounded by sorrowful faces shrouded in fear, worry and anxiety. The parents of our soldiers lived in constant tension, with terror in their hearts, fearful of those terrible yellow telegrams. The time of fear and anxiety has passed at long last. Enough sorrow has remained with us, however, to prevent us from fully yielding to the joy of relief that is ours. Today we are embittered because of the seemingly unsurmounlabe difficulties that stand in the way of lasting peace. We are shocked by the terrible fate that has befallen our kin in Hungary. As long as I can lift my hands and open my lips, I shall always proclaim the innocence of the Hungarian people. They cannot be made responsible for the deeds of their leaders. But our protests are of no avail. The tragic fact remains that powerpolitics rather than justice and equality prevail at the peaceconference and we have every reason to fear that those entrusted with the making of the peace will sow the seeds of a new world war. And while Hungary’s bitter fate was being decided upon, we received the letters of our brothers and sisters from that unfortunate country. Letters that speak of endless misery, undcscribable need, bottomless despair. Permit me therefore that I appeal to you on this happy occasion for your support of the American Hungarian Relief movement. Give that organization as generous and unselfish support as you give to your Association. When thinking of our hungry, suffering people overthere, let us forget about the political system under which they live. Regardless of what kind of a government Hungary has now, or shall have in the future, the fact remains that our brothers and sisters are hungry and in desperate need. Our relief movement must not fail. On the contrary! More aid then ever must be rendered to the people of Hungary. It is our fraternal duty to save and support our brothers and sisters, their helpless parents and innocent children!” Interrupted many times by stormy applause, the Supreme President concluded his address which was followed by a tremendous demonstration of affection and agreement with his appeal. SURPRISE! A TRIPLE ANNIVERSARY! It was then that the members of Branch 361 found out that they were not the only ones to celebrate an anniversary. Mrs. Gabriel Sonkoly, announcing that the 40th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Bencze and the birthday of Mrs. Bencze fell on the same day than the 10th anniversary of their branch, presented Mrs. Bencze with a huge bouquet of gorgeous flowers and a lovely corsage congratulating the beaming couple in behalf of the entire membership. Congratulations to you, Mr. and Mrs. Bencze! May you cleberate many more happy anniversaries and birthdays together.
