SOMOGYI National Treasurer JOHN SABO National Auditor Managers Szabó and Vass, I will so inform the readers. * * * At the first meeting of Branch 36-V in the new William Penn dis­trict office, we had ,as guests of honor, three young Hungarian refu­gees who are now William Penn members. Young 14 year old Tamás (I’d like to call him Tommy) Marko­vi ts ,who will soon join the Junior Club, is a nice-looking teen-ager who amazed me with his beautiful Hun­garian speech. Remarking to him about it, Tamás told me in his quaint and charming manner that, after all, Hungarian was his native language, and possibly he could re­verse the compliment on my English speech. Zoltán Bán is a handsome addition to our younger member­ship, who surprised me by writing a Hungarian version of shorthand into my stenographer’s notebook and translating same. He carefully ex­plained the difference between my Gregg shorthand and the unusual methods used in Hungary, which Ma­gyar shorthand, of course, by now I can not re-explain to my readers, it being such a complicated process. When I asked Tibor Pénzes how to translate his first name into English, he calmly and rather graciously ex­plained that Tibor was as good as anything we could think up. One of the amazing things I noticed mainly about our three young new members was their aptitude in adapting them­selves to our American way of life, altho I was rather stunned to think how home-sick they seemed to be. Contemplating this emotional scene on the ride home from the meeting, I commented on this to Vice Presi­dent Julius Macker, who explained to me that I would probably feel the same way if I had to leave the good old U. S. A. and live in a foreign country, but that in a short time, I, and our young Hungarians, would soon adapt to the new country. We welcome you, Tamás Markovits, Zoltán Bán and Tibor Pénzes, to Branch 36-V of the William Penn Fraternal Association and hope that soon you will learn to like us and our way of life. ❖ * * In the fall of 1956, a matter in which I personally am interested in was thoroughly discussed and voted upon. It was that a picture of the 1956 officers of Branch 36-V in its Golden Jubilee Year would be taken and thereafter displayed in the dis­trict office. This group picture has not yet been taken, mostly because of the inconvenience of getting the various officers together at the same time .But now that there is a per­manency about the Detroit district office, it is time to think seriously about this project. And speaking of pictures, one of the members — off­hand I can’t remember who it was — made some mention of having a portrait of William Penn, great American colonist, as a permanent fixture in the new office. Vice-Presi­dent Macker informed the member­ship that such a project is now un­der consideration by the Board of Directors and every district office throughout the Association will soon have a portrait of our patron, William Penn, the man whose name is carried by our William Penn Fra­ternal Association. * * * At this time I am not yet certain if a bowling team will represent Branch 86-V in the National Bowling Tournament and Fellowship Days in Dayton, Ohio, but I do know of three who would like to go — my three Lucas males, #1 man Luke, and his two tall sons Skip and Larry. They are working on something and I hope they accomplish it. Luke the elder talked to Johnny Paycheck (who is top man in the Sunday morn­ing league at Belmar Lanes) just this past Sunday and Paycheck in­formed him that he thinks there may be a team. — but more of this as soon as I know. >» * * Too bad my “stuff” doesn’t sound as well after it’s written as when I’m thinking about it in the middle of the night after my males are asleep, but I’ve an idea for next Christmas... listen to .this: added to the new typewriter, the desk, filing cabinet, world globe and atlas and Webster’s International Dic­tionary, and my well-worn copy of Bizonfy’s Hungarian-English Szótár, the only thing needed (besides a fresh supply of creative mind-work) is a tape-recorder, so that as I think things I could voice them into the recorder. Who knows, maybe the Ferret articles would improve with that much help!! Y'our OLD FERRET 12996 Rosedale Avenue Wyandotte, Michigan AVenue 5-0106
