Mr. Wieland will begin his duties Janury 1, 1357. He will work jointly with District Manager Louis F. Kost­­ley of the branches above named.

District Managers Kostley and Wieland in their joint management plan to give their members a program of insurance advice and service that will benefit them greatly. BRANCH 15 — CHICAGO, ILL. SENTINEL By: Ernest C. Taylor, Dist. Mgr. As I reported in my article of November 11th, we had a Hungarian pork dinner to honor Frank Balogh, Sr., veteran Chicago branch officer and worker. The supper was very successful. I am happy to report that more than 350 guests attended this affair in tribute to friendly Frank Balogh. I shall single out a few who put forth extra efforts to assure the success of the Balogh event, but to try to name everyone who added in measure to the high results of the occasion is a practical impossibility. Many thanks go to these: Joseph Fabian, who dismembered the hogs and trimmed the pork; Mrs. Paul Igyarto and her assistants, who made the delicious Hungarian kol­bász and hurka; to the unnamed la­dies who baked and donated; the group of hard working women in the kitchen; those waiting on the tables; Joseph Hodits and his crew, who were as efficient as professional bar­tenders; John Wesesku, local presi­dent, for his tireless efforts. It wras gratifying to have Nation­al Auditor John Sabo and Field Man­ager Elmer Charles with us at this affair. Director Andrew Fejes was gracious in yielding a function that is normally reserved for the Board members, in that he permitted Mr. Sabo to make the presentation of the '‘Illustrious Citation.” Our good member, Jiilius Hovany, the editor of the Hungarian Weekly (Chicago és Környéke), was suppos­ed to have a dance on November 18th. Instead he turned it into a ral­ly for the destitute Hungarians. The Mayor of Chicago, the Honorable John Daley, spoke at this gathering. Through his efforts and those of all Hungariáns in the City of Chicago, we are to have something here in Chicago that is very seldom permit­ted. On December 6th there will be a Chicago Tag Day which the City Council has proclaimed in order to help all the organizations here to collect money, so that we may help as many refugees as possible. And now to a lighter vein, Our Christmas Party will be held on Sunday, December 23d, which will be for all the youngsters of Branch 15-V. Parents, please make it a point to be at this party with ybur children from afternoon 3 to 5 I understand that Santa Claus will be there with goodies, books, and sur­prises for the young ones. We attended the grand opening of Louis Puskarits’ new place of busi­ness. It looked to me as though all Vas megye was there that Saturday night. There were visitors from Aurora and West Chicago. The Bowling League is now in full swing and going along well. I sin­cerely hope that we shall have good representation at the National Bowl­ing Tournament which will be held in Dayton, Ohio on May 25th and 26th. Come on, gang, let’s start setting up the various teams that will partici­pate in this event. Joseph Ivan passed away last month. To the bereaved family go our condolences. ONCE AGAIN I BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION OUR NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY TO BE HELD AT NORTHWEST HALL. DO NOT FORGET THAT THIS IS STRICLY ON A RESERVATION BASIS. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR RESERVA­TION IN NO LATER THAN DE­CEMBER 25. THE COST WILL BE $6.00 PER PERSON AND WILL IN­CLUDE FOOD, BEVERAC7E AND DANCING, ALSO THE FAVORS AND FUN MAKERS. And with a parting thought this beautiful month of December, I sin­cerely -wish to one and all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. MAY GOD BLESS AND WATCH OVER US ALL. DAVID AND GOLIATH This is a creation of Hungarian artist Stephen Úsztok (Üsztök István), member of Branch 443-V, Detroit, Michigan. Sincere Affection and Respect Expressed at the Fete for Frank Balogh Further words of high praise from another member of the officers corps, Field Manager Elmer Charles, rang sincerely and lavishly for Frank Balogh, the name that every mem­ber in Chicago knows. Now Daniel Szantay, President of the American Hungarian Federation, spoke. He too lauded the efforts of Mr. Balogh, then asked for support and contributions for the oppressed Hungarians. Mrs. John Sinko, leader of the Chicago Area Hungarian Women’s Club, made an urgent appeal for Hungarian aid, requesting the audi­ence to contribute to the “Emergency Aid for Hungary-’ fund. Others honoring Frank Balogh with words of praise were: Louis Bona, Chicago Rákóczi President: District Manager Frank T. Kajdi, Manager of Branch 50-V, Chicago, Illinois; Dr. Julius Hovanyi, News­paper Editor; Rev. August Molnár, Professor at Elmhurst College; Charles Gasior, Social Club Presi­dent; Desiderius Tolnay, -Social Club Vice President; Dr. John Bokor, re­presenting St. Stephen’s Church; Frank Kovach, Hungarian Radio Hour Manager; Mrs. Rosalia Simic, in the name of the Women’s Branch of the Woodmen of the World; Mrs. Charlotte Matyas; Louis Lehoczky, President of the MHBK; Emery Szuos, Representative of the MHBK. Deeply moved by all these kindnes­ses, Frank Balogh, in his reply said, “These tributes do not give me pri­vileges but further responsibilities for assisting Hungarian interests and activities, which I will discharge wholeheartedly.” Thanks are extended to all who worked for the success of the Ba­logh jubilee, especially to the Hun­garian women who prepared the de­licious pork supper.--------------------------­DO YOU KNOW? More than 200,000 adults are vir­tual invalids due to rheumatoid arthritis," degenerative joint disease, and gouty arthritis. Officers and members of Branch 15-V, Chicago, Illinois, joined to­gether on Sunday, November 11, 1956, in the auditorium of the North­west Hall to pay honors on the twentieth anniversary of Frank Ba­logh, now secretary of Branch 15-V, as an officer of this large Chicago branch. The number of guests assembled to honor the very popular and very energetic Mr. Balogh was so large that a second sitting was required at the banquet table. Organizations such as the Ameri­can Hungarian Federation, churches and lodges sent their respective of­ficers to unite with the William Penn leaders in paying tribute to the man who for decades, beginning as a Verhovay worker and now as a William Penn enthusiast, sacrificed very much of his time for the bene­fit of branch and society. The affair was a beautiful testimonial proving that Hungarians do recognize and do appreciate those who unselfishly strive to further Hungarian in­terests. The entire proceeds of the evening were turned over to aid the Hun­garian Freedom and Relief cause, a noble gesture indeed. John Wesesku, Branch 15-V Pres­ident, was the toastmaster. His first introduction was District Manager Ernest C. Taylor, Manager of Branch 15-V, who greeted the audience. Director Andrew Fejes of Chicago followed ar.d paid fine tribute to the honored guest. Applause punctuated his complimentary remarks. Next, National Auditor John Sabo, long tipie friend of Frank Balogh, gave a stirring address which ran the gamut from the personality of Mr. Balogh to the terrible sufferings of the Hungarian people to the ac­complishments of the American Hun­garian Federation. The National Au­ditor was resoundingly applauded at the conclusion of his speech. It was his privilege to present his honored fx-iend with the Illustrious Citation and Gold Emblem.
