Louis Horvath —--------­We hear that everyone had a grand time in Buffalo. * * * We extend the hand of welcome to our new member, Mrs. Anna Mudry, mother of our fine treasurer, Carmen. * íjí * If any of our younger members are ■interested in softball, baseball, tennis, or any other outdoor summer sport, please get in touch with me — by ma.l or in person . * if: * RUDY BOLLA, former recording secretary of Branch 76,• is very ac­tive at our meetings. At our last meetmg we had the pleasure of see­ing Mr. and Mrs. Paul Szirmay. Paul will be remembered by his many friends as one of our star performers on the stage for many years among the Hungarians. In this connection ,we can’t forget our “leading man”, Alexander York, who now has a successful textile business. * * * After our June 9th meeting, we will not have so-called “meetings,” but insurance premiums may be brought to 1144 N. Fourth Street during July and August- When you come, bring along a new member. * * * MARY ANN ROSENFELD, 10 year old daughter of our humorous recording secretary, is studying bal­let and tap dancing and is a very alert 4th grade student at St. Peter’s School. We have quite a formidable list of birthdays for May: DR. AUREL ACZEL, former editor of the now defunct Philadephia Hun­garian paper; LAUREN ALBERTA ALLO, 2 years old; ALBERT F. ALLO; MRS. MARY BECK; PETER S. BERES; HELEN BERKES; MRS. FREDERICK BITTERMAN; KA­THERINE M. BLAIER; RUDOLPH BOLLA; TIMOTHY BRAXTON; MRS. HELEN M. DEAL; MARTHA K DUD ASH; JOSEPH J. FARKAS; MRS. EVA GLÖCKNER; MRS. MARY MIHALKO; ANDREW PAP; JOHN PISZÉK; -RICHARD L. SHOEMAKER; MRS. ELIZABETH SOKARAI; JOHN SZABÓ; JOANN B. TAKACS; ANTON PETER UR­BAN, 2 years young; and, last but not least, KATHERINE NOEL. MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY, EVERYONE! * * * Because the Philadelphia Rákóczi branch has elected its own officers and because no word has been re­ceived by the former Verhovay (Branch 76) officers of any desire to merge with said former Verhovay branch, each branch will operate in­dependently of each other, there thus being two Philadelphia branches un­der the WILLIAM PENN jurisdic­tion. Rákóczi members may pay their dues to the former Verhovay Branch, because both are one and the same so far as the Home Office is con­cerned. Stop in the second Saturday of any month, 7 to 9 p.m. * * * June is wedding and graduation month ,and we’ll probably have some of each to report in our next visit. We plan to visit several gatherings of our nearby WILLIAM PENN branches during the summer months. * * * When you go away on those visits and vacations, drive carefully. Re­member: SAFETY IS NO ACCI­DENT Much luck to all you. Fraternally, L.

We hope everyone is fully re­covered from his trip to Buffalo by now. We made the trip, had a most pleasant time, met many old friends and made the acquaintance of a few new ones. Albert B. Ibos (one of our di­rectors) and this reporter got to­gether Friday night, May 12th, for a little practice session on those smooth alleys.

We of William Penn 129-V would like to thank the branches which were hosts at this tournament, also our (thanks to the Tournament Com­mittee for a grand time and for the genuine hospitality evident in Buf­falo. Branch 129-V will hold its annual­­picnic this year on June 24 at Hi­­mindale Grove. There will be a va­riety of food and drink, including your favorite “stuffed cabbage,” known also by the names of “Hun­garian cabbage roll” and “pig-in-the­­blanket.” And of course there will be music—American and Hungarian — not to forget pony rides for the small fry. The picnic committee ex­tends a welcome to all. TO BRANCH 130-R: A very special invitation to you to join in our fun this year. This being my second time at press, I hope the news will get bet­ter each time. Until my next column, I remain. The Borough of Carteret, New Jersey is this year commemorating the 50th anniversary of its incorpo­ration as a separate community. On May 12th, at 2:00 P.M., a parade opened the festivities of Car­teret’s golden jubilee. Bells and whistles marked the start of the pa­rade with Miss Carteret 1956 at the helm. Societies, groups, floats and bands joined the march. Carteret for its size has a fairly large Hungarian population — a little Magyar bastion as it were. It is a fact that the Hungarians turn­ed out appreciably to join their fel­low citizens of other national back­grounds in a successful united ef-HOLY ORDERS The Reverend Andrew N.

Our congratulations and best wish­fort to observe the half century commemoration of Carteret — 1906- 1956.

In addi­tion, individual citizens of Hungarian origin have played important civic roles, some of them members Of the sizable William Penn membership there. We are indebted to Mrs. Rose Bar­­ta who wrote and also sent the Gold­en Jubilee Edition of the Carteret Press to us. Salute to Carteret on its 50th an­niversary! Fraternally, WILLIAM D.
