The awards came as great surprises to the two deserving officers who so faithfully and devotedly have served their respective branches as presidents for 16 consecutive years. The program opened with greet­ings from 51-R President Szenegeto and was followed by the assembled members and guests, led by Theodo­ra Kassay, singing the American and the Hungarian National Anthems, THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER and ISTEN ÁLLD MEG A MA­GYART.

Congratulations and best wishes' to Branch and officers. The musical reputation of Jeno Barial and his orchestra is so high in New York and its area that it is no easy matter to get this busy group to play elsewhere, but our previous experience with Jeno Bartal in New York City was a very favorable point in contracting him for our Philadelphia Tourna­­ment-Fellowship Days. The Maestro — JENO BARTAL
