The death of John Vizzi, former director of our society, who passed away on August 16, 1958 in Logan, West Virginia, thins again the ever dwindling ranks of the “old time” fraternalists who many years ago, in their youth, began their service with the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association, the Rákóczi Aid As­sociation, or the other organizations which today constitute the new William Penn Fraternal Association. Until his serious illness several months ago, which forced him to resign, Mr. Vizzi was for a period of many years secretary then manager of Branch 248-V, Monaville, West Virginia. He performed his duties so conscientiously and he was so well liked by his fellow branch managers that he was sent to the conven­tions. In 1951 he was elected to the Board of Directors, fulfilling that trust and responsbility for the four year period. As a coal miner Mr. Vizzi must have felt a kinship to the coal miners who founded our organization, men who were ideal­istic as was this humble man. Mr. Vizzi concerned himself with the problems and welfare of his fellow colliers. He participated in their activities as well as in the fraternal and social life of the Hungarians of the Logan-Monaville area. The deceased was born in Felsővadász, county of Abaúj-Tor­­na, Hungary. At a youthful age he immigrated to this country. His remains were laid out at the Harris Funeral Home and the many floral tributes silently attested to his popularity. Requiem High Mass was said August 19 at the Logan Catholic Church. Burial was in the Forest Lawn Cemetery. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved widow, daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren. Requiescat in pace! HEALTH NOTE “A LINE FROM L.A.” by Ernest F. Fintor District Manager To the long list of suspected che­micals named by the Food and Drug Administration another “harmless” chemical may be added — menthol. Ointments and lotions containing menthol are used in the treatment of itching eruptions, and the drug is frequently used in nose drops, cough drops and cigarettes. Its principal effect on the skin and mucous mem­brane is a “cooling” sensation, caused by menthol’s action on cer­tain nerve endings. Menthol in nose drops has long been known and “condemmed” for its irritating or destructive effect on Ithe cells and cilia of the mucous membrane. There is almost no medical knowledge of the effect of menthol on the internal organs or the blood when it is ingest­ed or absorbed by the body. The importance of findings by the Food and Drug Administration of the United States lies in the fact that it offers evidence for the first time that menthol may have serious toxic effects upon the human system. Since menthol continues (to be found in such common consumer products as cough drops, nose drops, inhalers, cough syrups, lotions and cigarettes, there is need for the establishment of some serious research projects to settle the question of whether the widespread use of menthol should be condemned or whether the drug should be exonerated.---------•-« y --------­Business is really more agreeable than pleasure; it interests the whole mind, the aggregate nature of man more continuously and more deeply. But it does not look as if it did. — Walter Bagehot Gene P. Lenart, 411 W.
