Dr. Arpad Nagy, Branch 13, agency manager, director Frank J. Radvany, and Miss Margaret Kovach, special agent, want to express their thanks and appreciation for having the honor of hosting fourteen agents and four guests, including Mr. Michael Hegedűs, director from New Brunswick, agents were from branches of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We are certain that this meeting was a fine example, that our agents have the interest and enthusiasm that will make our Association grow. We would like to congratulate the chairman, Mr. Michael Hegedűs, and the committee on the fine job they did on the New Jersey State William Penn Dinner-Dance, held in New Brunswick on April 20th. Everyone from our branch had a wonderful time. The food was excellent and the music su­perb. The officers of Branch 13 want to thank the members and friends for attending and supporting this nice af­fair.

Check in with our Sergeant-at-Arms Mr. Gallo who keeps a record of your attendance. When John Palacsic asked how many could not speak or understand Hungarian -—only six showed their hands, Branch 14 is still a Magyar language Branch. Bert Szilagyi made an impassioned plea that Branch 14 buy or build a home for the Branch but not on Buckeye I hope. The officers are toying with a door prize to be given away every monthly meeting.
