Huge signs drawn by Louis Diera, posted all over the place, and on the front doors drew the attention of the public to the cause for which this sale was held. And the customers started to arrive, just like on the day of a month-end sale, even before the ladies were ready to open shop and that was shortly after 8 o’clock in the moring. Two long tables, decorated with beautiful streamers, served as counters on which the most tempting creations of the most excellent Hungarian pastrycians were displayed. One half of a long table, however, was reserved for the Hungarian aprons, dozens of dainty and delicate samples of real Hungarian handwork, (special price $3.00 a piece), that sold like hot-cakes, or for that matter, all the wonderful pastries, cookies and cakes which disappeared as soon as they were displayed. It really paid this time to be an early bird, for by noon of the first day not even a crumb was left for the late-comers, while the sales-ladies looked at one another with happy dismay because they realized that having sold a three days’ supply within four hours, another evening will have to be spent in the company of the oven. At least some of the ladies did not sleep much during the following night for it takes long hours to make pastry in the real Hungarian style. But they did not want to disappoint their prospective customers and next morning the tables were full again. And the same thing happened on the third day. Net profit on the three day sale was $261.75. Millions of thanks to the pastry-baking and apron-making girls who had done so much for the success of this undertaking. It is inevitable that their names be mentioned here; Mrs. George G. Foley, Mrs. Albert Fiok Jr., Mrs. Total Pins: 732 725 725 February 11. Betza 170144 162 McCaffrey 149131 127 Tulmer 163125 109 J.

And the customers will always remember the kindness and friendly charm of the following sales-ladies: Mrs. George G. Foley, Mrs. Albert Fiok Jr., Mrs. Louis Diéra, Mrs. Ernest Fazekas, Mrs. Mary Robertson, Miss Margaret Banas, Mrs. William Kohut, Mrs. Elizabeth Andry, Miss Margaret Kerezsi, and our1 own Sári Masztics, who seemed to be in both places all the time, at her typewriter and at the counter, yet never making the mistake of wrapping up a typewriter and starting to type on a cake. Of course, in the end it had to be a man, treasurer Julius Lenart, who pocketed the jingling fruits, of the ladies’ sweat and labors, but this was one of the rare instances when the girls didn’t complain, for they knew that Lenart will soon forward the money to the Treasury of the American Hungarian Relief, Inc., in New York. And the ladies, knowing from experience that anyone ever having tasted their Hungarian pastry would become an addict and always come back for more, decided on the spot to hold another one. The day selected for the next Hungarian pastry sale of Chapter 117, is March 15th, Saturday, Pittsburgh’s Hungarian Tag Day . . . And the pastryshop in the lobby of the Verhovay Building will open at 9 A.M. Remember the slogan: “First come — first served, but don’t break the doors down!” The officers and members earnestly request all Hungarian pastry artists to again come to their assistance with those delicious sweets ‘so well remembered’ . . . At the same time we would like to offer a suggestion to the males populating downtown Pittsburgh during office hours . . . Those sweet little aprons are excellent investments paying rich dividends in hugs and kisses by the Little Woman for whom they are bought ... At least, that was the experience of your editor And so, all good people with a good heart, an eye for the beautiful and a tooth for sweets, be sure to visit the lobby of the Verhovay Building on the 15th of March, when the second Hungarian pastry and apron sale will be held by Chapter 117, who elected Miss Margaret Kerezsi chairman, Miss Betty Andrey and Mrs. William Kohut members of the Baking Sale Committee for this affair . . .

The Truth About Hungarians In Slovakia Part of the program of aiding , published Mr. William McGaffin’s the unfortunate people of Hungary consists in calling the attention of the American public to the injustices that have been committed against our unfortunate people abroad. Some time ago we reprinted a letter of Director Aloysius Falussy, appearing in the New York “Times” and dealing with the lack of material aid rendered to the Hungarian people. However there are other tragic problems which must be solved such as the desperate condition.of the 500,000 Hungarians who are being expelled from Czehoslovakia. We are indeed indebted to fellow-member Stephen E. Balogh, former Reformed pastor and chaplain, who wrote a highly informative letter to the editor of the Chicago “Daily News” concerning the desperate plight of these people. This letter is reprinted in full in the following in order to enable those of our readers interested in this particular problem to use the arguments presented by the writer wherever possible, in behalf of the Hungarians in Slovakia. December 4, 1946. Managing Editor The Chicago Daily News Chicago, Illinois Dear Sir: In your December 2 issue you article “Czechs fear a new Sudeten” dealing with the Czech-Hungarian problem. This message succeeded to mislead the misinformed, to discredit the principles of Democracy and to damage the objective, sincere peace efforts of the American conscience. Mr. McGaffin offers a multitude of "proof positive” in his brief article to admit that he has no conception of the problem’s historical background, of the present factual truth and that he deliberately disregards our own American conception in regards to the welfare of the minorities. Reading this article I was under the impression that I was reading one of Mr. Benes’s paid propaganda letters directly from Prague. The subtitle of Mr. McGaffin’s report is “Hungarians refuse to leave” — the land of Slovakia. In other words these militant, undisciplined, bad Hungarians do not want to pack up and leave the birth places of their ancestors and they do not desire to “cooperate” with the “peace-loving” Czechgovernment. The awful Hungarians are not willing to condemn themselvfcs to be vagrants and beggars! Now, — isn’t this just awful! I’m confident that what Mr. McGaffin doesn’t know is well known by you, Mr. Editor. Continued on page 8. inception of “600,000 Shoes For Hungary” Movement 6 months ago ... In cash money and clothing this group contributed more than $5,000.- to the alleviation of the disperate need of Hungarians! All we can say that it takes brains and hearts to achieve such results, for surely, if one or the other were missing, the young folks of Pittsburgh would not have succeeded in winning the older folk’s admiration by their exemplary cooperation Chapter 117’s activities since the and untiring efficiency!
