HORVATH — Cleveland, Ohio A happy Thanksgiving Day to each and every William Penn mem­ber and their family and friends. The United Hungarian Societies 55 year anniversary was well attend­ed about three hundred people were served a fine Hungarian meal. Two excellent speakers were there, and they did justice to their billing. I’ll have my petitions out next montili or the first of the year, we must run for re-election in the May 6th 1958 Primary. It will be re-elect Joseph J. Horvath State represen­tative for the third term. We will appreciate all the support that ycu can direct towards my success at the polls. The St. John’s Grape Festival was well attended. The many recent arrivals from Hungary were en­joying themselves, in an atmosphere which they understood. Some ap­peared to be home sick, never the less our old timers tried to make them feel at home. Mr. Joseph Kadar probation of­ficer deluxe, informs us that Mr. Angelo GAGLIARDO his chief will try for one of the new Juvenile court judgeship next year. A gen­tleman and a scholar, good luck. The George Bubonic card party was a financial success. About $417.00 will be turned over to the Bubonic Family. Every Sport Club member did his part to put this affair over. We had help from un­expected sources, like Mary Karnya, who collected $58.00 from two or three organizations the Hungarian ladies aid and the businessmen ladies Social Club and others, “God bless you Ladies for helping in a good cause.” Many prominent people and organizations were represented, Br. 366-V was there with President Joseph Marson and his wife Florence, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Torda, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Torda, Andy Balcos, Marge Tomko, Marge Coman, the Dean of the Clan Jacob Torda, and from Branch 14-V Nick Yuhasz President, Kalman Kolozsvary (Mrs. Koloszvary donated a ham), Mrs. Joseph Bodnar, Vice-Chairman of this affair and Kay Kobus donated a ten dollar basket of groceries, the National ACME Co. where George worked was well represented; they were sold tickets by Tony Pinter, Joe Marson, and Mr. Grandis who represented the Company. Our own gang were working, Ted Beres and Bill Kastan chief bartenders, Ann Pinter, Helen O’Ravis, Mrs. Beres, and others were doing KP. Duty Frank O’Ravis, Chairman was help­ing everywhere. He even provided taxi service for the Bubonic’s and Steve Vache. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Semetko, John Beres, Mr. and Mrs. Bertalan, President Oscar Federau brought his tape recorder, Mr. and Mrs. Steve (Susie) Piscalko who auctioned five dollars f(!r ten.

We apologize, if we have missed someone, it is not intenticmal, the most important thing ds that you have helped in a good cause. God bless each and everyone who helped. Joseph Krupansky Sup’t of the Cleveland correctional institution, may run for one of the country commissicnerships, of which there are three to be elected next year. He will bring a wealth of experience to that job, he has over twenty-five years of public service, he will at­tack the problems of that office from a laymans viewpoint, which we need in public service. Good luck. Branch 14-V Grape Festival was attended by a crowd of about three hundred, a nice parade, beautiful girls, gcod orchestra, and plenty of eats and refreshments. Daniel Kali and Vilmos Urban sold admission tickets, Joseph Semetko sold lunch tickets, John Beres, Frank1 O’Ravis, Joseph Kristoff, John Veres who also has his own orchestra and An­drew Wagner were bartenders, Ni­cholas Yuhasz President of Branch 14-V was chief cook and bottle washer. Dr. Andrew Kovács, Wil­liam Penn Director was in deep con­ference with Vice-President Joseph Semetko, Frank Szappanos Radio Announcer was enjoying himself with John Wieland Manager of Branch 14-V. Very few of the old order were helping out at this dance it appears to me that a new regime will take c.ver the Leadership of the Branch 14-V in the very near future, new ideas, new faces, will put Branch 14-V back to it’s place in the new horizon. Keep sending those Postal Cards to your Congressmen and your Se­nators reminding them of their duty to vote for a tax cut for 1958. We have a couple of democratic County Chairman in Ohio, who are of Hungarian extraction, and there is a possibility of an other right here in Cuyahoga County and that is Jack P. Russell President of the Cleveland City Council and Council­man of the 16th ward of Cleveland. We went to the William Penn Branch 45-V Banquet on October 20th, and about 400 people attended. They were celebrating their 50 yeatr anniversary. Many William Penn notables came, among them was President Kalman Revesz, Di­rectors Dr. Andrew Kovács, Julius Macker, Vice President Frank Ma­­gyary, Director Caspar Papp, Chair­man of the Auditing Committee and others. Delegates from Branch 361-V headed by Mrs. Gall 12 delegates and Branch 14-V about 22 delegates, of course we saw other 14-V mem­bers but they were representing ether organizations, Bert Szilagyi the Szabolcs-megyei, Kalman Ko­lozsvary the Oreg Amerikas Mr. and Mrs. Denes J. Szász Branch 62-R. We also met the oldest member and former President of Branch 45-V Mr. Charles Horvath, and we notic­ed that when the National Anthem was sung in Hungarian, the Mayor of Cleveland Anthony J. Celebrezze who is of Italian Extraction also sang in Hungarian. Congratulations Mayor!

To these people and their heroes we dedicate our “Thought for the Month” “There is no more illustrious his­tory than the history of the Ma­gyar Nation ... The whole civilized world is indebted to Magyarland for its historical deeds.” President Theodore Roosevelt, in his address to the Magyar Parlia­ment, Budapest, April 2, 1910. ERNEST FINTOR District Manager THE BRIDGEPORT REPORT The monthly meeting of the Par.-R Branch was held October 13th at which several announcements were made that will be of interest to all members. The first Christ­mas Party (ages three to twelve), will be held at the Silliman Baptist Church on Saturday, December 21st from two to five P. M. It will be a joint venture of the following branches, Par.-R, 68-V and 69-R. All members that have children with­in that age bracket and wish to have them attend, kindly contact the Eastern District Office no later than December 1st. The Silliman Baptist Church is located at the corner of Fairfield Avenue and Silli­man Street. Several new members were in­troduced, among them were Attor­ney Emil SECKAS, one of our newer young attorneys in town and Judge Samuel J. TEDESCO; Mr. TEDES­­CO was introduced by Andrew BA­LOGH. Mr. Albert KOCSIS, the Brhnch President asked Mr. TEDES­CO to address . the meeting. The main subject of his talk, that in all his years cn the bench in the City of Bridgeport he has never had the occasion to sentence one, no, not one HUNGARIAN. Cases that come be­fore his court are numbered in the hundreds every month. This itself is a great tribute to all Hungarians, both young and old. Mr. RALOGH then intrcduced Mr. SECKAS, truly a fine example from the second generation Hungarians. Mr. SECK­AS expressed his pleasure at being' counted among the growing list of young men and women, who are putting their confidence in this vi­gorous organization, known as the William Penn Fraternal Association. Other highlights of the meeting included the announcement by Mr. Elmer SOMOGYI that he wishes to retire as recording secretary of the Par.-R Branch. Mr. SOMOGYI has had a long active carreer with cur fraternal society and will be missed as an officer of our branch. Mr. Albert KOCSIS then an­nounced that it is his wish that the younger generation take a more ac­tive interest in their society and to step forward to assume the respon­sibilities that go with leadership. We need the old folks for advice and the young to do the work, so lets go FELLOWS and GIRLS to the meetings, so that a better under­standing may be reached of what the society strives for and what it can do with your help. See you at the next meeting, November 10th at 2 o’clock at the meeting hall at corner Hancock and Spruce. Fraternally yours Andrew R. Balogh
