We talked with Coloman Fuzy and his charming wife in Columbus, Ohio, over the telephone. They are well satisfied with their new venture ... We have learned that barber Joseph Szalma of the Colony Bowling Al­leys goes to the Ligonier, Pennsyl­vania orphan home, where he gives free hair cuts to the youngsters two or three times yearly ... We recently saw Pete Petrovich, former pitcher for Branch 366-V, at the William Penn Home.

Report from Columbus, Ohio. A re­gular bee hive as senators, represen­tatives, lobbysts, politicians and le­gislative correspondents dart thru corridors, crowd the lifts, settle in committee rooms, or find their proper spots in the ornate legislative cham­bers. From January, February, to the middle of June, go the drone of the stylized legislative procedures, the harsh but oftimes hidden clash of embattled committee members, and florid oratory of the public hear­ing. It is a world apart from the daily affairs of the citizen; yet from it emerges a torrent of facts which touch on about everything Mr. John Citizen does. Far from the old-time concept of a legislature as a body of government concentrating on govern­ment is. the picture today. There is, of course, the usual store of bills drawn to satisfy the peculiar local or political requirements of the constituency which has sent its re­presentative to Columbus. But in ad­dition there is some rather long stretching of the government con­cept. For example, the 1957 legis­lature has been asked to take a look into building roads, a toll road from the north to the southern part of Ohio, mental health, to consider ways to give raises to government em­ployees without help from the go­vernor, to devise measures to protect consumers from their own cupidity or the beguilement of same conscientious beaters of the time payment drums, and to think about measures to help our senior citizens. What will the yield be ? Well, it looks like honey for all hands. The politi­cian will point with pride; the legisla­ture will return home with tales of prowess; the lobbyist will count up points scored. Reams and reams and reams of wire copy — some filed, some read, and some remembered. Judge Louis Petrash has a mission to accomplish — to get reelected and to swear in all officers of political clubs. Judge Joseph Stearns made the pi'incipal address at the “Öreg Arpe­­rikások” dinner February 24th. About six hundred guests were there. Golo­­man Kolozsvary welcomed the guests and, in his opening remarks, asked all to help in the Hungarian Refugee problem. Andrew Done, president of the United Hungarian Societies, was toastmaster. He has an easy style of making introductions, a talent shared by others such as Judge Andrew' Ko­­vachy, Judge August Prytel, State Senator Julius J. Petrash. William A. Ruschak the bailiff, Charles Kautsky, Paul Pentek, Joseph Szalay, John Done, Elsie Kolozsvary Fodor. I close with the following lines from Robert Louis Stevenson: The first duty of a man is to speak; that is his chief business in this world; and talk, which is the harmonious speech of two or more, is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in money; it is all profit; it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at any age and in almost any state of health. Ex animo, JOSEPH J.

HUNGARIAN OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS HONORED The above picture was taken dur­ing the two days visit, February 9 and 10„ of the Original Hungarian Olympic Swimming and Diving Champions, now on tour of The Uni­ted States, who were guests at the William Penn Home, 1501 Parsons Avenue, Columbus, Ohio.

On Sunday the honored guests at­tended ia banquet given for them at the Columbus William Penn Home where popular Magyar foods, served under the capable leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Coloman Fuzy, the Home mana­gers, made them think of Old Hun­gary.

The champions were lodged at the homes of several Hungarian families during their stay. They indicated that they had found Columbus a very ap­pealing and attractive city. Thanks are in order for Mike Peppe, Ohio State University’s swimming coach, who gave the Hun­garian swimming champions a chance to perform at Ohio State. University. The Hungarians were roundly ap­plauded for their highly successful display of aquatic talent. After the performance they were treated to a dinner in-the Great Union on the campus. Mr. Peppe’s kindness to the Hungarian Olympic champions was extraordinary. .Much credit must be given to the Grand Committee and to the indi­vidual workers who labored hard to make the two day festival the tre­mendous successful event it was.
