PAGE 3 October 16, 1957 William Penn THE LACHMAN COUPLE CELEBRATE THEIR FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. LACHMAN were happily surprised, whfen their entire family, their friends, members of their Church and of the Kossuth Club (ANTHONY LACHMAN is the President of the Club), about 120 persons, gathered together at Miami, Florida, in the air conditioned Kossuth Hall to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Mr. ANTHONY LACHMAN is well known among Hungarians. He served the former Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association as branch manager of the former Chicago Branch No. 342. ANTHONY LACHMAN was born in Szeged and educated at Budapest. He immigrated to Chicago in May 1907. He was in America only 6 weeks When he married Juliska Kökény with whom he shared all the vicissitudes of life, its ups and downs for half a century. They have seven living children, six boys and one girl. The entire family took part in the celebration. The ladies of the Women’s Church Relief prepared an excellent supper for the large number of guests, while ELMER HOROSNYI and his orchestra provided music for the occasion. Rev. ANTHONY PETER opened the celebration with prayer. Then he « praised the exemplary married life of the Lachman couple. Mr. FRANK FÖLDI ,member of the Auditing Committee cf the William Penn Fraternal Association, was toastmaster. The numerous congratulations and precious presents impressed Mr. and Mrs. Lachman very much. They deserved the celebration. They like everyone and are liked by everyone, and are very popular there, notwithstanding the fact that they have lived in Miami only 2 years. Another reason of Anthony Lachman’s popularity is that he is present at all National Bowling Tournaments every year. The readers of our Journal do not need any introduction of Anthony Lachman. They know his amiable, sympathetic features. Some years ago we published an article in our journal going into details about the LACHMAN family, especially about the great achievements of Anthony Lachman in securing new members. We also send our best congratulations to the Lachman family. God bless them in all their doings and grant them a cheerful, happy, contended old age in good health for as many years as possible. CHATTERBOX Branch 129-V S Columbus, Ohio Dear friends and readers we are eorry to announce the loss of one of our Oldest Lodge Members, Mr. Ben Reeves who passed away at the age of 75 years old. He is survived by his son Mr. Louis Reeves who resided with him at 389 Welsh Ave. We wish to offer our most heartfelt sympathy to the members of the surviving family. Mr. Lou Tokár, our District Manager, spent the last week in Grant Hospital with a severe attack of Arthritis. He is home now and doing nicely. We would like to make special mention of the fact that the Hungarian Refugees have formed a soccer team here. Arpad Silvik, manager of the team has fashioned together a team of great ability. They are in the Ohio — Indiana Soccer League and so far are undefeated in League play. The Team has adopted the name of “Petőfi”. Karman Feizzi, our house manager, has acted as referee at several of these matches. Good luck fellows and keep up the good work. Our bowling season is in full swing now and there is going to be some great competition among the teams. The league seems to be much more improved over last years teams. Tommy Franklin, who bowls on No. 2 team bowled a 276 game and a 629 series on another team. Being only 14 years, and bowling on the same team with me made my face quite red. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Lodge and the William Penn Home on behalf of all the bowlers for the bowling shirts they supplied again this year. Well dear readers it is time to say 30 for another session, so with kindest regards and best wishes to you all, I remain your: Press Correspondent Bill Franklin WILLIAM PENN BOWLING LEAGUE STANDINGS OF COLUMBUS, OHIO WILLIAM PENN NO. 9 11—1 WILLIAM PENN NO. 4 10—2 WILLIAM PENN NO. 2 &—4 LOU TOKÁR INS. 8—4 GUYER’S 7—5 R and R BAITE STORE 6—6 FOURNIER and RUBBER 5—7 MILLER and MARA 2—10 WILLIAM PENN NO. 5 2—10 Judge Samuel J. Tedesco, Member of William Penn Judge TEDESCO was born in Bridgeport, Conn, on February 22, 1915. He was educated in St. Charles School, Harding- High School and then received a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Law degree. Upon graduating from Law School he began the practice of law in Bridgeport in 1938. In 1941 he was elected to the House of Representatives of the State of Connecticut. After serving a term in the Connecticut Legislature he joined the U.S. Army and served in Europe with the Engineer Corps. He served with distinction having received commendations from his superior officers. He earned battle stars for his action in the battle zones in Europe. In 1944, while in Europe with the Army he was awarded the “Medal of Honor” from the City of Versailles, France, for his part in the liberation of that City. He returned from War to Bridgeport in 1946 and rejoined his wife, Evelyn. He was again elected to the House of Representatives of Connecticut, and then was elected to the State Senate of Connecticut for two terms. While in the Senate, he was chosen the minority leader in 1953. That same year he was elected the most able committee chairman of the State Senate by the newspapermen of the entire State of Connecticut. In 1943, Mr. Tedesco was awarded a citation from the Veterans of Foreign Wars for his distinguished service rendered to the people of the State of Connecticut. He ran for Mayor on the Democratic ticket in 1955 against Socialist Mayor and he came the closest to winning against the mayor over any candidate in 22 years. a EPIDEMICS (Continued from page 1) teur, medical science tracked down practically all kinds of germs step by step. A bitter struggle followed to find and destroy the germ responsible for the contagious diseases. The germs were set on pulpy, soft materials as jelly or broth to produce cultures, so-called vaccines Which transferred to human organisms by injections were capable to destroy all germs. These vaccines provoke a mild form of the disease, if applied preventively, immunizing human organism against such disease. Medical science was now able to grapple with all contagions one by one. Thus the plague and the cholera — the latter dangerous even by the end of the last century — were hunted down. The older generation may yet remember the devastating cholera epidemics in the last decades of the last century, never heard anymore since that time. The Hungarian scholar, Semmelweiss, has the credit ' of having saved the lives of millions of mothers throughout the world by his preventive devices in the fearful childbirth fever. Diseases prevalent in other parts of the world, like yellow fever and tuberculosis which devastated whole countries in our youth, belong now to the past. Who does not know the latest triumph of the Pittsburgh professor Dr. Salk over the polio, so powerful some months earlier. Such splended discoveries led to the raising of the human age limit. It remains to be seen, how science will be able to defeat all its enemies, no matter how strong they are, like the still fearful cancer. Even if we succed in exterminating all known germs, new types of germs are about to originate in the future. These new germs are the more dangerous through their virulence, difficult to be destroyed. Health offices are alerted all around the world, for a new battle is to be fought with a new type of germ causing the so-called Asiatic flu. This disease struck down millions in Asia during the summer and spread over South-A merica in a comparatively short time. Prognosticators point to the possibility of its spreading in this country too by the start of the rainy season. All armies of medical science are ready for the battle to be fought against the evil, should the disease strike us. Although some medical bulletins exaggerate the significance of that war, as Dr. Salk warned us recently, we must not be taken by surprise. American teamwork is not merely a slogan. It obliges all individuals to take their part in that struggle, in the second line of defense. Vaccines are to be produced, for the present quantities are* insufficient. To simplify the task, there are some simple rules to be followed. First of all, hygienics and cleanliness are indispensable. All unnecessary acts liable to spread the disease are to be avoided. In case of emergency, immediately consult your family physician about the measures to be taken. We must not spread alarming rumors, when the alert is sounded. Medical science is about to win a new victory over its versatile foe. The victories of the past should inspire the soldiers of modern medical science in that noble task. i
