Fraternally, Coloman Fuzy Cleveland Home Manager TUBE CITY NEWS Branch 226 -----McKeesport, Pa. By Dist. Mgr. Fred J. Stipkovits I couldn’t understand', after looking through the journal, that there wasn’t any “Tube City News” in the February issue. Of course, this isn’t very strange, because I hadn’t written any. However, here we are in March doing our bit to confuse matters. The February issue was full of congratulations from over all the country by some of the most eminent men in our present day commending the union between the two great Hungarian FRATERNAL Associations. Now all this brought one important thought to my mind. It seems that we have overlooked a factor that has greatly contributed to our success. Mr. Noah Webster says: FRATERNAL *- fra-ter’-nal (FR. fraternal), (L. fraternus, from fráter, brother) brotherly: pertaining to brother; becoming or proceeding from brothers. By now you have probably guessed that this month’s article is of a serious nature. I’m leading up to this: In our branch we have many prominent business men. Some have been longer in business than others, so with the kind permission of the first group, who have already established a business reputation (just to mention a few as they come to mind) they are: Dr. William V. Vislay, Atty. Gay B. Banes, Dr. J. Ausländer, Dr. Samuel C. Gomory, Alex Goydan, Alex Kardos. I would like to name a “Business Man of the Month” to introduce to you the newer group. These men are all specialists in their own fields. All this time I’m keeping an “ace in the hole” for myself, because I know that every morning, at 12:06 a “crack freight” goes, through McKeesport that I can always catch second class. I have now devised a way to make you keep your Journal for a whole month, rather than using it to wrap your garbage in t'iie second day. Of course this isn’t such a bad idea either because our garbage men can read, too. I have had so many comments from far-off places from members who have been “deported” from our “Utopia in McKeesport” that they deserve some mention. This month I will list their husbands’ names so you try to guess who they are. Next month’s issue will give their maiden names in the some sequence. You will have to keep this issue till next month to see how many you remembered. To increase interest a prize will be awarded to anyone who is 100% correct. The prize is 10 acres on the Moon that you must homestead and develop for 30 years to gain posession. Transportation at the present time will not be furnished. Now for our list: Mrs. Charles Dolan, Worchester, Mass.; Mrs. John Furille, Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Stanley Kray, San Fernando, Calif.; Mrs. Arthur Noon, Ardmore, Okla.; Mrs. Vincent Otto, Alexandria, Va.; Mrs. J. Miller, Danbury, Conn.; Mrs. Ed. Thompson, Atlantic City, N. J.; Mrs. Leo Wikert, Greattinger, Iowa; Mrs. Leo Hickey. Spirit Lake, Iowa; Mrs. N. Arvay, Eire, Michigan. See you next issue when we introduce our first “Business Man of the Month.” RECENT FIELD APPOINTEE The appointment of Louis P. Kostlev as District Manager to manage Branches 14 and 366, Cleveland, Ohio, was made January 1, 1956. Since his appointment less then three months ago, Mr. Kostley has been setting a record-breaking pace in securing new members and has won a luxury watch from the Association (which see among the list of prize winners). The new District Manager was horn in Ligonier, Pennsylvania on a farm neighboring- the Bethlen Plome Reformed Orphanage. He attended grade school in Marguerite, Pennsylvania, graduated with honors and received a scholarship which he was unable to complete because. of the then economic depression, going to work in his eldest brother’s grocery store.
