76 PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Steve Szemes is still raving about the Bi-Centennial trip to Hungary. The visits to the many beautiful and historical places were very well organized. It seemed like one happy, friendly group. Reunion with old friends and relatives, after many years, will be long remembered. We hope there will be a trip next year, as many of us are very interested.

We are now in full swing with plans for our 18th Annual Dinner Dance, to be held on November 13th, 1976, at the United German Hungarian Club, Bristol and Spruce Roads, Oakford, Pa. Commencing at 7 P.M. Music will be provided by Steve Turoczi’s Continentals with Steve Matey as vocalist. Remember to tell all your friends and relatives the date and place. For tables of 8 make your reservations early by calling Steve Szemes at 543-8876.

A speedy recovery to Mrs. Betty Lovas, we hope you will be among those present at our Dinner Dance.

Our sympathies to the family of Mr. Stephen Gubicza, who passed away recently; also our condolences to the family of Mrs. Mary Bilyak, a longtime member of William Penn.

For an evening of pleasure and interest make it a point to attend our monthly meetings held every 2nd Saturday of the month at the Philadelphia Hungarian Club, 1125 Southampton Rd., Phila. Join us in our many activities planned at the meetings. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL NOVEMBER 17TH!

249 DAYTON, OHIO

After many months of eager anticipation and planning, the William Penn sponsored trip to Hungary has passed and has become an abundance of pleasant memories.

Next Tour To Hungary

As members can ascertain by reading the accounts of our Bicentennial Tour to Hungary, it was a complete success. There have been many inquiries as to whether or not there will be a Tour again in 1977.

Before the Board can make a final decision in this matter it would like to have some idea, from the membership, is to whether or not there is sufficient in such a Tour.

If you would be interested in a Tour to Hungary in 1977, please write, before December 3, 1976 to: Mr. Elmer Charles, National President, William Penn Association, 429 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. 15219. If sufficient responses are received, the Board can act at its regular quarterly meeting in December.

Our Branch 249 was very well represented, with 46 members participating, the youngest being 5 years old, the oldest 84. However, age was no criteria because each one enjoyed the trip immensely.

Everyone praised the excellence of the arrangements made by the Home Office. Special commendation is hereby extended to Mr. Elmer Charles, National President, Mr. Albert J. Stelkovics, National Secretary, and their capable staff for making our pilgrimage so enjoyable.

With all the new members attained in our branch as a result of the Bi-centennial Campaign, we expect an increase in members attending our monthly meetings, which are held at 2:00 p.m. on the second Sunday of every month, at St. Stephen’s Church Hall, 1114 Troy Street.

At our December 12th meeting, annual election of officers will be held. This meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. followed by our annual children’s Christmas party. There will be food and refreshments for all. Santa will have gifts for the kiddies, a delightful program will be presented and all members are cordially invited to attend.

Our branch now has available, the very popular “William Penn Cook Book” for sale, the price is only $2.50, and no home should be without one. You might consider it as an ideal Christmas gift. Books can be obtained by calling Margaret Vassy at 275-5650 or Anne Kertesz at 275-6654.

In closing, just a reminder that Margaret Vassy is always available to update your insurance needs. You can call her for policy servicing or for new issues at 275-5650.

YOUR HEALTH

SLEEPLESSNESS

Every night millions of Americans go to bed tired only to discover—they can’t sleep!

How many times has that happened to you ? Perhaps you’ll sleep soundly for a few hours, then awaken around 3 a.m. to discover you can’t get back to sleep. It’s happened to nearly all of us at one time or another, but it’s usually nothing more serious than that pepperoni pizza eaten before bedtime or that big business deal in the morning.

However, some people do suffer from chronic sleep disorders that may last for months or even years.

Scientists who study sleep patterns and dreams tell us that we fall asleep in four stages from light sleep to deepest sleep and awaken in reverse order. In an average eight hours of sleep, there about five such cycles. During light sleep phases many of us will awaken and fall back to sleep without even remembering it. It is this light sleep stage, however, that is the most critical for insomniacs who wake up and cannot fall back to sleep.

While mental stress and anxiety play a role in sleeplessness, recent studies suggest that there may be real medical reasons why some people suffer from chronic sleeplessness such as breathing patterns, muscle spasms, nerve disorders and drugs.

Sleeping pills may be helpful to some people for a short period of time, but used frequently they may be more detrimental than useful.

Most people have their own remedy for sleeplessness attacks like reading a book or drinking warm milk. Coffee, tea, or soft drinks contain stimulants which may keep you awake. Above all, relax. Remember that occasional insomnia attacks are normal and nothing to worry about. However, if you are plagued by frequent sleeplessness attacks, see your physician.
