PAGE 6 August 20, 1958 William Penn * ■ \ WILLIAM PENN WATCHTOWER J By JOSEPH J. HORVATH — Cleveland, Ohio Í We like August for several reasons. Normally the weather is beautiful and so August is the ideal vacation month. Then too, there are picnics and outings every Sunday of this month. Finally, my birthday comes in August, on the 25th, a very good reason for my partiality to August. We are sorry that the present Governor of Ohio did not include a recommendation for an increase for the old age pensioners at the special session this past June. We, the legislators can not bring anything that isn’t within the scope of the call: we are ruled out of order. I sincerely hope that the next assembly will correct this situation for the better. Now is the time to come to the aid of your fellow member who will seek reelection November 4th as State Representative to the General Assembly of Ohio. This columnist, Joseph J. Horvath, will appreciate your support in behalf of his candidacy and will honor his pledges. Joseph Szalay, deputy sheriff, tells us that John J. Carney, Cuyohoga County Auditor, is a real friend of the William Penn and the Hungarians. He is considered one of the best county auditors in the State of Ohio. He has foresight and, because of his present policy, in the very near future will benefit tremendously in the rebuilding of the downtown area, a move quite necessary for the betteranient of this city. Larger buildings; will be erected, which means more taxes. Large industries too will join the other industries of this metropolis with the knowledge that the tax structure of Cuyahoga County is an attractive one. There is a possibility of a joint picnic sponsored by Branches 14-V and 45-V the last Sunday in August at St. John’s Grove, about 5900 Broadview Road, S. W., Cleveland’s West Side. pounds. But he’s keeping an interest in the political picture. The First Hungarian Reformed Church picnic on July 6 was attended by approximately five hundred. We were there and can attest to an entertaining time. Congratulations to the committee which planned the affair very well. The American Legion, Post 559, considered the Hungarian post among the Legionnaires, held its picnic July 13th. Eight beautiful prizes were given. A free admission accounted for the large attendance. Potential council candidates in the 29th ward of Cleveland are Andy Dono, Steve Gasper, Gabriel S. Szabó, William Ginter, Robert Lavdis, Frank Hruska, Elmer Dula, William R. Russell, Matilda Balaszik, John Granite, Joseph Leso, Francis Picklow, Frank R. Pokorny. We attended the “One World Day” at the Yugoslav Garden on Sunday July 20th. About 4,000 people of many nationalities were there. The program consisted of a band concert, singing by various groups in their native tongues, interpretive dancing by the Yugoslavs, Irish, Italians, Bohemians, etc. City, county, state speakers were heard, including Washington, D. C. It was a day of glory for the officers Of the cultural gardens. Culture was everywhere and I felt that some of it rubbed onto me, giving me the feeling that I too contributed just a little toward this oncea-yeär event. Where oh where are the men of the yesteryears who would get up to do battle, if necessary, to carry their point? Honest and fearless in their convictions, they possessed ability, integrity and proper evaluation. Their moment of glory was when they could get on the floor and with splendid eloquence sway their listeners to their way of thinking. This Avas a certain satisfaction of accomplishment which made their efforts worth the fight. The crusaders of old — the men of pride — the builders —the accomplishers — the fighters ■— WHERE ARE THEY?! We attended the Cleveland Hungarian Men and Women’s Society picnic on July 27th at Kalló Farm. Another highly successful event. Helen O’Ravis said that the manager of William Penn Hall, John Horvath, was very cooperative at the Sports Club wiener roast which was held July 19th. The Sports Club thanks you, Mr. Horvath, for all your kindnesses. The yard in the rear of the hall is kept very nice, compliments again to Mr. Horvath. Anyone caring to bowl next season at the William Penn Home should contact the manager, John Horvath, or William Penn District Managers Steve E. Leczo, or John Wieland at 8637 Buckeye Road. The telephones You can talk all you please about the causes of crime, but, at the bottom, it is due to the public’s taking it for granted. of these gentlemen are: RAndolph 1-8834, 1-6542. Want your sons and daughters to dance at the Hungarian Grape Festival the second Sunday in October? Have them join this dantce group. The instructions are free but the Hungarian outfits are not supplied. In this matter too, contact may be made with District Managers Leczo or Wieland. Joseph Semetko, vice president of Branch 14-V, has bought a home and is remodeling the inside himself alone — so he says! How about flying the American Flag on (the William Penn Building Labor Day? NOW HEAR THESE: To be born a gentleman is an accident; to die is an achievement. Conceit is nature’s compensation for inferiority. Ex animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH c. o.

STATEMENT FOR THE MONTH OF MAY — 1958 WTI.I,TAM PENN DAY PICNIC Held by Branches 14-V, 45-V, 104-R and 62-R of Cleveland, Ohio SUNDAY, AUGUST 31, 1958 at St. John’s Grove, 5882 BROADVIEW RD. (Rt. 176) East Siders take Rt. 17 west to Broadview, turn left at Broadview (Rt. 176) to Picnic Grounds MUSIC BY SZABADKAI ORCHESTRA Good Hungarian food and refreshments EVERYBODY WELCOME Picnic Committee Bert Szilagyi suggested at a recent meeting of Branch 14-V that all the William Penn branches in greater Cleveland, V’s and R’s, get together to form a council to which delegates could be sent, at least four delegates from each branch. This group would be the clearing house for all social, cultural and other activities which would come before the body. It would mean better cooperation among the branches on very important events and to work for the mutual satisfactions of all Cleveland area William Penn members. I think the idea is excellent. Let us give it a trial. There are about eight branches in greater Cleveland. We met John Fritz, Jr. at one of the piénics. He 'told us that he has been married since last November to a widow and they live at East 117th Street near Buckeye Road. Friend Fritz was formerly president of Branch 366-V. Best wishes and congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. We enjoyed ourselves at the “Szatmár megyei” picnic where there was a large crowd and plenty to eat and drink. Recently we met Alex J. Horvath at Baskind’s Drug Store on East 125th and Buckeye. Over a few Cokes we rehashed the political situation in general. Horvath is doing well in a field that he likes ,selling industrial equipment and cleaning com-I. Ledger Assets as of April 30, 1958 .............................. II.
