REQUEST TO OUR BRANCHES We consider the organization of the youth within our Association as one of our most important tasks. It is not sufficient to enroll the children, we also have to make them conscious of the fact that they are members of the William Penn Fraternal Association. We may pursue this goal by availing ourselves of every means and facilities to prompt the juvenile members to take part in our work, and we have to entertain them too; the best way of obtaining the confidence of our children is by organizing clubs for the youth and arranging meetings for them. Several branches have achieved success in this respect, especially by holding Christmas Parties, where we tried to get nearer to our juvenile members. We request all our branches desiring to prepare Christmas Parties for their juvenile members this year to let the Home Office know of their plans to this effect without delay. They should advise us about the date of the Christmas Parties and of the number of those who are likely to participate. Our Association will then provide sufficient number of gifts to be placed under the Christmas tree. We wish to emphasize that only those requests will be taken into consideration which reach us by October 5, 1957. We also ask you to advise us of the nature and amount of the gifts your Branch will donate to make the Christmas Parties a success. A Ladder That Does Not Overturn last year who were tilted with their ladder, since the ladder was not set on level soil. Most of these accidents could have been prevented, if they have used the clever ladder leg on the illustration. The patented contrivance can be used for every ladder. It can be mounted by means of two screws within some minutes. It is made of weather-proof steel and aluminium and weighs but two pounds. The leg that can be moved in any direction and set automatically, is mounted on a non-skidding support, with neoprene rubber grips that hold to surfaces and prevent ladder slippage. A new patented design that fits any type ladder — extends Up to 10” — can be used on either ladder leg, or both. This life-saving adjustable ladder leg equalizing any uneven surface — ground, floor, stairs or roof, is the product'' of SEEGER-WILLIAMS, Inc., 4 Norman Street, Bridgeport 5, Connecticut. The president of this firm, Mr. T. W. BECKER, Jr. is a member of our Association. Ladders cause over 300,000 accidents every year. In many cases the person who falls down the ladder becomes disabled for all his life. There were 73 farmers in one State Joe Kinda: Our New District Manager The Home Office appointed JOE KINDA District Manager in our Branch 525-V, Los Angeles California. Our new District Manager was born in New Castle, Pa. Two years later the family came to Wadsworth, Ohio, where they were living for ten years, and moved later to Los Angeles, California.

His college studies were interrupted by his military service.

He recently finished the preparatory class of the Life Underwriter Training Course. He began earning his living as a newspaper carrier of the Los Angeles Examiner. Later he continued work during his academic studies as clerk of the Safeways Stores, Inc., as part time man. In 1949 he was the employee of the Bank of America, His bank carreer started under good auspices but was interrupted by his joining the colors ,in September 1950. He served in the 40th GI division of the California National Guard that was sent after 6 month training to Japan. Nine months later his division was dispatched for active Service in Korea. He completed his military service in July 1952 and was decorated with four medals, the Korea Service Medal and the Bronze Service Medal among them. After having left military service he resumed his work in the bank, married and had to find a more substantial living with the growth of his family. He worked with the Reinforcing Steel Construction for a year, and as a toolmaker for one year and half. He spent one year as a salesman in the food business.

We recommend our new well experienced District Manager of manifold talents to the fraternal care of our Los Angeles members. The Home Office extends its best wishes for the success of his work in the future. News From Northwestern Ohio BRANCH 27-V TOLEDO, OHIO I By Stephen J. Ivancso School — with the traditional “Golden Rule”- days, has arrived — with Mothers’ relieved of the task of looking after youngsters, — now, they’re having quite a time convincing some of the youngsters that summer vacation is definitely over •—“and you must go to school!” As this time of the year approaches, it’s World Series time, and Football time. Aside to “Rip” Tinta —“Sorry, Rip, but it looks like the Yanks and Milwaukee. We’ll give Cleveland another chance next year.” Rip’s sorrow was relieved the other night when he won the first tournament of the opening bowling season. Congratulations, Rip, and have a successful coming season. To the many members of the Detroit area: Bob Nickel of Branch 27-V here in Toledo, has signed a contract and will bowl with the “STROH’S” team of Detroit. One of Toledo’s best he has made the big time. We like to see our Detroit members show up and encourage Bob along. He’s a very likeable fellow and for an Englishman knows a little Hungarian, too. “Pop” Diliinger can verify this. In and around Toledo, Bob has won •— or was high among the winners in practically all of the tournaments that were held. As for his average, his past record and trophies speak for themselves. Bob Nickel and Junior Powell are “William Penn’s” actual pins double champs. They showed their one-two punch down at Dayton. We wish Bob Nickel all the success that is due him in the bigtime bowling in Detroit. We are proud to have him and all of his family as members of Branch 27-V. The annual outing of the “picnic workers” was a success — even the high waves couldn’t keep the ace swimmers from not getting wet. Joe Homyak and Bill Smith were the life guards — while Andy Rasi took care of the refreshments. Agnes Mokri and Mary Ivancso were the only women who braved the high waves •— John and Ruth Rakay kept the fire burning — John Ivancso and his wife Maryann kept an eye on the children and Johnny wished that be brought his swimrping trunks along, — in the fun, Rose Bodnar and Betty Bochi ended up with a few bruises — The Bill Krolak’s and Jim Vischer’s in their usual clean-up spots — the last to leave an afternoon and evening of fun on the shores of Lake Erie. A grand time was had by all that attended. Betty Cherko, wife of “Louie, the fisherman” slowed up a bit in the dancing department, by a few stitches in the foot. She spent four days convalescipg in St. Charles Hospital. A speedy recovery, Betty, so the “csárdás” may fly again. Sharon Lajti is feeling better after a short stay in the hospital. John and Hattie sent cards from Georgia and Florida, telling us what a grand country Florida really is, Mary Weintraub and Elizabeth Lees vacationed in Canada. Condolences to the Paul Kish family on the passing away of Mrs. Kish. Mr. Kish is the former treasurer of the Rossford branch. As the bowling season approaches, we wish each and every one a good year — we’ll try to keep you informed on the best lowest scores. So long until next month.
