well as the other deceased members of Branch 28, who have gone before her. May they rest in peace.

We would also like to strongly urge our branch members to come and join us at the branch meetings which are held on the 2nd Monday (new day) of each month at 7:00 P.M. at Our Lady of Hungary Church Hall on Belle Vista Ave., Youngstown, Ohio. Let us gather strength from each other in these troubled times. Our Branch Manager, Gabe Nameth, will be glad to help you on any insurance matters. His residence phone number is 792-8145. As an added assistance in insurance and financial counseling, a new office has been opened in Pittsburgh. Please refer to page 10, Fall 1981 of the William Penn Life (the official publication of the William Penn Association). As stated therein, “Should any of you, within a 100 mile radius of Pittsburgh need or desire insurance or financial counseling, call Ron Abels or one of his associates at (412) 461-0460. You can even visit our office located at 318 E. Eighth Avenue, Homestead, Pa.”

This reporter attended the 25th anniversary of the 1956 Freedom Fighters held at the V.I.P. Lounge, Niles, Ohio on October 25, 1981. As William Penn, Br. 28 representative, it was a good opportunity to meet and fraternalize with fellow Hungarians and to meet Kornél Feher, the President of the Community Aircraft Company, who was the

Hungarian speaker on the program. Our new Branch President, Mike Tomcsak, was master of ceremonies and he did an excellent job of it.

Our Annual Children’s Christmas Party was held on December 19th at Our Lady of Hungary Hall. We were entertained by 5 players from the Youngstown Playhouse who put on two short skits. It was quite refreshing and enjoyable. Our thanks and appreciation to them and to Santa Claus/Branch President Mike Tomcsak, to my wife, Helen, and to Leslie Wash who all helped make the party a success. And last but not least, an especially big thanks to the Home Office for providing the financial assistance. Thank you, too, to the Schauers, the Szekelys, and the Ruzs for coming out in that bitter cold weather to spend a few hours with us to celebrate Christmas. We enjoyed their company and the carol singing. Love ya!

Congratulations to Gus Nagy on his appointment as National Secretary- Treasurer. Bowling Tournament’s loss, but the association’s gain as National Secretary-T reasurer.

Again, wishing everyone a Happy New Year! See you on tire 2nd Monday of each month! Our Lady of Hungary Hall, Belle Vista Ave.

IMPOSSIBLE? NEVER!

Never think, speak, or write never. It is never correct, for never expresses an absolute condition that makes something impossible.

But people who never think in terms of never are doing the impossible every day.
