September 17, 1958 PAGE 5 William Penn-----------------------------........RUNNING FOR OFFICE WILLIAM PENN WATCHTOWER By JOSEPH J. HORVATH — Cleveland, Ohio Labor Day has come and gone. Daylight saving, however, remains with us for another month, till the last Sunday in October. Obviously the fact that New York City observes this “artificial time” until then influences the rest of the nation. People have spoken and written to me in both pro and con tones about daylight saving time. I am of the opinion that the legislature should give the people of Ohio a chance to vote on this matter. Contact the state representative in your county or other counties to let your wishes be known on this particular point. We congratulate the Hungarians of Youngstown, Ohio for “Magyar Day” on Sunday, August 3d at Idora Park. The Magyars of Ohio can show their fellow Americans of other national origins that the Hungarians have also contributed toward the building and betterment of these United States. There is another month of political campaigning, meaning too that your columnist, Joseph J. Horvath, is a candidate for reelection as State Representative to the General Assembly of Ohio, representing Cuyahoga County. I respectfully solicit your support and patronage. We attended the “Öreg Amerikás” picnic on Sunday August 3d. About 1,500 guests were there. Coloman Kolosvary, president, welcomed th; fine assemblage then turned over the affair to Andy Dono, secretary of the Club. A number of William Penn members participated at this yearly event, to name a few, Joseph Szalay, Joseph Barry, John Boda, Charles Kautsky, Jack P. Russell, Mrs. Irene Kleppel, Mrs. Kolozsvary, Ted Kolozsvary. The day was beautiful, the refreshments good, the kitchen excellent and, above all, a spirit of congeniality and fellowship prevailed. A combined picnic was held Sunday August 31st by Branches 14-V, 45-V, 62-R and 104-R at St. John’s Grove, Broadview Road, on Cleveland’s Southwest Side. Further information will follow in the next WILLIAM PENN WATCHTOWER. We attended the “Gömor Megyei” picnic August 10th and enjoyed ourselves very much. Some 600 were in attendance during this pleasantly warm day. Everything was fine — food, music, etc. Oh yes, door prizes were offered late in the evening. REMINDER: Sunday October 26 banquet for the three William Penn stalwarts, JOSEPH SZALAY, JOHN BOZSVAY and COLOMAN KOLOZSVARY. These gentlemen were all figures in the old Verhovay — Mr. Szalay was vice president, Mr. Bozsvay was director, and Mr. Kolozsvary was president and director. John Wieland, district manager and secretary of Branch 14-V, is quite conscientious about his job.

We know new county clerk Emil Masgay very well and we feel confident that he will carry on the fine work of the late county clerk. We inquired about Judge Louis Petrash’s health just recently and he said that he felt like a young colt. He was master of ceremonies at the St. Stephen’s Day affair. Louis Torda has been on a diet since his sickness and looks fine. We see him and his brother Joe almost every Sunday at St. Elizabeth’s Church ... Oscar Federau was back at the Cleveland Clinic for a checkup. Another Hungarian State Representative, Frank R.

My wife came with me, but she returned to the country of our birth, which is now behind the Iron Curtain, with our child who was born in the United States. I now have a nice home and would like them to come over here to join me. How do I go about it ? ANSWER: Whether your family can join you here depends not only on their meeting the requirements of the American immigration law, but first on whether they can obtain exit permits. In many Iron Curtain countries, people are not given exit permits. Therefore, before you initiate any steps on this side, you should find out from your wife whether it will be possible for her and your child to leave. Some Iron Curtain countries permit wives and children to join their husband and father abroad. Others may permit only the wife,to go, but will not permit the children to leave. Often, when this is the case, mothers may not wish to leave their children. It is recommended, therefore, that you first find out what the situation is abroad. Your wife, as the spouse of an American citizen, and your child, if under 21 and unmarried, are eligible to receive a nonquota visa. Children over 21 are eligible for a fourth preference, but this is oversubscribed in many Iron Curtain countrips. LETTERS FROM AMERICA Every letter sent abroad — letters to friends and relatives overseas — helps give a picture of America. Describe everyday examples of democracy, things that happen to you, your family and your neighbors. Friends and relatives abroad know they can believe your letters. That’s why your words are important. Make them count. CAPITAL CITY NEWS Trenton, N. J. By Dist. Mgr. Louis Revesz
