Donations mount for refugees PITTSBURGH — William Penn members from across the nation, moved by the plight of Hungar­ians fleeing Romania, have begun sending in their donations to the Association’s relief fund to aid those refugees. In the two months since the Home Office announced the es­tablishment of the special fund, more than $1,200 in donations has been sent by members and friends of the Association. "We are pleased with this ini­tial response to our appeal,” said National President Stephen G. Danko. "However, the refugees from Erdély need a great deal of financial aid, and we urge all our members to please help them by contributing to this fund.” To date, more than 50,000 Hungarians living in Romania have fled across the border into Hungary. The refugees are escap­ing the devastating effects of Romania’s rural reorganization policy which has led to the de­struction of entire villages. The Hungarian government has established a special relief fund, but officials say the government cannot bear the burden alone. The Association will match dollar-for-dollar the total amount contributed by its members, Pres­ident Danko said.
