Branch 249 News WQRP has a New Residence August 1983, WQRP in Dayton, Ohio moved its office to new facilities a few hundred yards south of the old complex. With the help of generous donations and people donating their spare time to paint and decorate, a new Master Control Room, Productive Room and Record Library was built. WQRP personality, Albert G. Kertesz, who is also National Director of the William Penn Association, had to undergo serious surgery during the past two years, but with his deep religious faith, the prayers of his many friends and his eagerness to overcome his problem, gave A1 confidence to believe his health problem was a thing of the past. When A1 was in the hospital, it didn’t stop him from recording “Music in Hungary”. He pre-recorded several shows and they were broadcast during their regular time slot with wife Anne as coannouncer. A1 is completing his 32nd year on Dayton’s Radio with his “Music of Hungary” program currently heard on Sundays from 9 A.M. till noon, with wife Anne, co-hosting. We all wish him good health and good luck in his broadcasting endeavors. YOU CAN BANK ON SERVICE You make money! Actually, you manufacture money as though it were put on a press and turned out in those beautiful green shades. How? By the simple act of writing a check to the grocer or whomever. And yet there was a day when the ordinary customer didn’t have a checking account and couldn’t write checks. In the early days of banking, checking accounts were one of the special courtesies bankers made available only to big depositors. Men like J. P. Morgan, Jay Gould and Jim Fiske could write checks, but checks just weren’t available to small customers. Neither was money loaned for family home purchases, nor college expenses, nor to help a family “tide over” a period of sickness or other critical family problems. Yet, things were to change drastically. The end of the Civil War was the beginning of many important changes in America, including the business of banking. On Feb. 25, 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the National Currency Act that gave America a uniform national currency and a system of national and state banks. 28
