\ VOLUME 7 JANUARY. 1972 NUMBER 1 OUR NATIONAL PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE As we begin a new term of administration, the term for the years 1972-1975, the spirit of Christmas and the joy of the new year is still in our hearts. It is a gratifying privilege for me to say to our employees, members, delegates and friends, “thank you” for the honor to serve you for four more years. As we commence to set the goals for this Albert ]. Stelkovics, National Secretary administration, enjoying and appreciating the overwhelming confidence, trust and support of the last Convention, we find that we are in a transition period, perhaps the greatest ever. We cannot afford to disregard the changes between the old and new styles of living and working. We must recognize the fact that our young people WILLIAM PENN CANDLELIGHT SCHOLARSHIP BALL William Penn Fraternal Association. Branch 226, McKeesport, Pennsylvania, will hold their Candlelight Scholarship Ball on Saturday Evening, February 19, 1972, at the Hungarian Social Club, 3004 Walnut Street, McKeesport, Pennsylvania. Dancing will commence at 10:00 P. M. and a Buffet Luncheon will be served at 12 Midnight. All William Penn members and guests are invited to attend. Admission will be your tax exempt donation to the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation which will be presented to the Foundation in its entirety. John Sabo, Mrs. Violet Lenart, Co-Chairmen are not content with old ways or values, in the same degree as we measure our concern for our elderly, who distrust change. Elmer Charles, National President As we enter into the transitional period it is important to recognize that we will continue to progress only as long as we are willing to put more intelligent thought, effort, interest and enthusiasm into every day operation and welfare of the Association. We must realize that today -—- “GOOD ENOUGH” IS NOT ENOUGH. Only our best will pass the test in today’s highly competitive economy. We know that fraternals who do get ahead, are those who strive for excellence — who are trying continually: to do a better job, to render better service, to improve working relationship, to attract more members, and to increase the quality and value of everything they do. The word “quality” is most important. Abraham Lincoln had the right idea. As a young man he said, “Every day I will just do the best I can and some day my chance will come.” The delegates, by re-electing the National Officers, have again given us our “chance” and we, in turn, assure our members that we will put forth our best effort in everything we do. We know that if we are worthy we will succeed. If we are not worthy, we won’t succeed — because we won’t deserve to. Yes, it’s as simple as that. And the same goes for individuals, for communities and for nations, too. Just “GOOD ENOUGH” is NOT ENOUGH. It never has been and it never will be. During the next four years our attitude will be “That’s NOT good enough — rye must do better.” Continued on Page 2 Julias S.
