Ari Memorial Scholarships Created By Trenton Organization — Annual Benefit Dance Sponsored By Trenton American Hungarian Civic Association To Honor Verhovav’s Late Vice-President — The American Hungarian Civic Association of Trenton, New Jersey will hold their annual Scholarship Fund Dance on Sunday, February 12th, 1950. John L. Varga, President of the Association, a member of Branch 417, announces. The proceeds of this dance always have been used toward scholarships for deservingstudents of Hungarian extraction, and this year’s dance will serve to create the Albert B. Ari Memorial Scholarships in tribute to the memory of the late Vice-Presindent of the Association. Indeed, the Trenton American Hungarian Civic Association could not have selected a more fitting way to pay tribute to the memory of Albert B. Ari than by creating scholarships for Hungarian descendant young men and women, because this subject always has been close to his heart. The scholarships will be awarded in June. Those wishing to make any contribution to this fund in tribute to the memory of our beloved late Vice-President, are requested to mail their donations to Alexander Csapó, 156 Watson Ave., RFD 1.. Trenton, N.

Branch 296 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS It is customary that whenever a New Year rolls around we set ourselves certain aims and resolve to persistently pursue them while repudiating all those of our habits and tendencies that may deflect us from such course. Actually, there is nothing very unselfish about such resolutions because we know that if we really manage to keep them, we will have served our own best interests. Looking back upon the accomplishments of the past year, I am proud to say that you, the officers and members of Branch 296, have faithfully pursued those aims you'had set yourself at the outset of the year. As true fraternalists, you have kept your promises. You have always been ready to work for your branch and to help increase our membership. For •that I want to thank you, the officers and members of Branch 296, whose wholehearted cooperation I was privileged to enjoy throughout the last year. Now that we are entering upon a new year, let’s forgive and forget the shortcomings of the past and let’s make new resolutions for the new year.
