PAGE 12 January 18, 1956 William Penn POWER CITY NEWS SPRINGDALE. PA. AND VICINITY by Edward A. Mattie Branch 296 Another gala New Year’s Eve party has passed. Again the home was filled to capacity. By 8:30 p.m all tables had been taken and those who came iater than that time were disappointed. In the upper hall, the members enjoyed and danced to the music of Arthur Nagy and Joe Baldwin's combined orchestra. In the social rooms the ever popular Bluetones entertained. On this occasion we were honored by former Verhovay and Rákóczi members from McKees­port and Johnstown. * ¥ * The annual election of branch of­ficers was held on Sunday, December 11. After serving three years as president, John Balia declined the no­mination for president. He stated that because of other commitments and activities it would be impossible for him to devote the necessary time as president. He gave, however, as­surance that he would continue to support and to co-operate in branch affairs. Emery Szalai moved from treasur­er to president, Frank Fintor chang­ed from secretary to treasurer. Pete This is the New Year, which we all begin with high hopes and other ideals, including the customary re­solutions. Have you kept those re­solutions, or were they just foolish words ? I sincerely hope that everyone had as delightful a Christmas as we had at our home. Joy was abundant at the homes that I visited during the course of the month. I am sorry that I could not visit all the mem­bers here in Chicago during- the holiday period, but time did not per­mit this gracious gesture. I regret to have to report the death of Mr. Albert Szoeke, who was one of the well known Hungarian insurance men. Our condolences to his wife. In reading through one of the local papers the other day, I saw an article on the auto show to be held here in January, and to my sur­prise, I saw the photograph of none other than Margie Wojtas. a mem­ber of our branch. Continuing the reading, I learned she had won the title of Miss Edgewater and will reign as beauty queen during this auto show. Congratulations to Mar­gie. she and her entire family are all loyal members of Branch 15. For the benefit of the stay-aways from our monthly meetings, the fol­lowing were elected the officials of Branch 15: John Wesesku, president; Steve Galo, vice president; Frank Balogh corresponding secretary; Mrs. Ann Barango, treasurer; Mrs. Betty Taylor, recording secretary; Joseph Hodits, controller; Matt Ba­log, Felix Horvath and Louis Habet­­ler, auditors. Congratulations to all. Our thanks to the retiring officers for work well done. Mazak was elected the new secre­tary, and Joseph Barta controller. Of the trustees, newly elect­ed were Bob Charles, Louis Ungor, Joseph Hamorskv, and Alex Sar­­kadv. Re-elected was Walter Wc­­soloski. Newly elected as auditors were William Blizman and Louis Ungor. So the complete roster of officers for the coming year is as follows: Emery Szalai, president; Julius Te­­legd.v, vice-president; Frank Fintor, treasurer; Pete Mazak, secretary; and Joseph Bai-ta, controller. Trustees: George Charles, Nick Polombo, Walter Wesoloski, Joseph Hamorsky, Alex Sarkady, Bob Charles, Steve Üveges, Sr. Auditors: Joseph Szalai, William Blizman, Louis Ungor. Still continuing as branch manager is Edward A. Mattie. * * * Our thanks to Bill Wanamaker for having played Santa Claus at the Children's Christmas Party. « * * Julius Telegdy. Jr. returned from Elmhurst- College in Illinois to spend the holiday vacation with his family. There was one birth reported to me. a daughter to the Eugene Boka-s, who received a wonderful Christmas present dated December 16th and weighing 6 lbs. and 14 oz. Susan Julia is the name. I hear by the grape vine that we are going to have another marriage in our ranks, this time it will be one of the fair sex members who, 1 understand, will do it on April 21st. Dorothy Balaskovits, much happiness. By the time this article gets to publication, we will have celebrated the silver- wedding anniversary of none other than Mr. and Mrs. Char­les. Stuparits. Congratulations to these two very good members. Oops Dept. This I almost forgot. As we were looking through the beautiful Christmas cards this year, we noted one that was printed Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Markos, and in ink was added, ‘ and son". Thus that makes two births and hot one. Con­gratulations to the Markos family. I understand that Mr. and Mrs. John Nagy of Fremont Avenue are going to retire and go to live with their son, John Jr., in Lawton, Mi­chigan. I.ots of luck in your remain­ing years and a most pleasant life on the farm. Before I close, a reminder that on January 28th a dance is to be held bv Branch 15. Ail the bowlers are requested to support this dance, and every member also, as this is for the benefit of the league. Come to have a good time to the strains of Slcboda and his orchestra. Another reminder. All our mem­bers who send their dues via mail, either by check or money order, should, starting in the month of Ja­nuary, PLEASE MAKE these Newly Appointed District Managers FRANK WILTROUT MICHAEL PINTER Michael Pinter and Frank Wiltrout were named district managers re­cently and assumed their duties on January 1, 1956. The two district man­agers are jointly servicing Branch 132, South Bend. Indiana, and are under the jurisdiction of Field Supervisor Frank J. Wukovits who has left the direct management of Branch 132 for additional field responsibilities. This novel dual management setup points to the very large size and extensive syea of Branch 132, the .rapid growth of which is attributable to the hard working fraternal-minded Mr. Wukovits. WILLIAM PENN CLUB YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO BRANCHES: 21, 108, 364. 514. The Sports Club closed the Christ­mas season with a delectable dinner and social held at the China Lane restaurant.

Of course treasurer JOE TURNER kept an eternal vi­gil over the financial end of the af­fair while daughter JUDY led the group in dancing the bunny hop . . . Possibly the gayest of the crowd, and she usually is the gayest of any crowd. MARGARET BUNCHY was dancing so strenuously she pleaded that a ligament in her shoulder was pulled, so she retired to the card tables for some less excitable enter­tainment . . . MARGARET SIMON, IRENE GIAN FRANCESCO and AN­NIE FREW were seen really whoop­ing it. up with all sorts of crazy square dancing and other forms in which you are required to dance in your stocking- feet . . . ANDY and FREDIA BENNISH arrived early because he was the official host. Andy provided the records for the ‘‘record hop.” The players were at it with plenty of vim and vigor: STEVE SIMON. JOHN BARKÓ, ANDY and FRE­DIA BENISH, JOHN ASHLEY, STEVE DURDA, JULIUS MOREY, and GEORGE SKEBO ... Cel VEN­­GREN ALLEGES SHE HAD the best steak in the house . . . JOE TURNER received one of the most practical gifts in the gift exchange. Ask him about it! The BARKÓS have purchased a small spread down in the land of sunshine, Miami, Florida. When John hangs up his last run on the Erie railroad he and the missis will take CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS Í PAYABLE TO EITHER MYSELF OR THE WILLIAM PENN FRA­TERNAL ASSOCIATION. I am ask- 1 ing this from the membership as it will make my work a lot easier. You will keep the same receipt books, and everything will be the same as before with the above ex­ception. off . . . WILMA MILLER was quite a busy gal this past Christ­mas season filling in down at King’s Jewelry . . . JULIUS MO­REY has been doing quite well for himself in bowling. It seems his name is in the papers almost every day . . . Street Scene: Candy sales­man JOHN ASHLEY, seen driving­­down Federal St., munching on a candy bar of a rival firm . . . Well, that’s it for now. Remember, if any of you nice peo­ple are thinking of added insurance, think of us — because we have the best and “you can’t hardly get that kind no more.” Fraternally, STEVE MISLAY 709 Wick Bldg.
