Nagy, who in turn presented other field men to the audience, namely, District Managers Julius A. Tarsi, Ernest F. Kemenes, Nicholas Szolga and Jo­seph P. Holzer. Mr. Nagy offered his congratulations and best wishes to Branch 98-V on having reached its jubilee year. Other branches, churches and groups represented were: Branch 76-V Phila­delphia, Pennsylvania, whose presi­dent Anthony Noel, secretary Stephen Szemes, auditor Daniel Rosenfeld and publicity agent L. Louis Horvath came; Branch 90-V, Bethlehem, Penn­­eylvania; Branch 133-V, Phillipsburg, New Jersey; Branch 216-V, North­ampton, Pen sylvan ia; St. John Capistrano Church Society, Hungarian Catholic Club, American Hungarian Democratic Club Women’s Division, Hungarian Workingmen’s Sick Bene­fit Society, Bethlehem Self-Culture Society; Bethlehem Reformed Federa­tion Hungarian Hall. Principal speaker at the affair was John Sabo, National Auditor of the William Penn Fraternal Association. Mr. Sabo touched on the history of Branch 98-V to add to the previous account given by the Director from Branch 98-V. He then congratulated the branch on its 50 year history, paid tribute to the two living chart­er members, and eulogized Director Lang and his family for their tireless devotion to Branch and Association. Further, the National Auditor expres­sed his extreme satisfaction at the “spirit of oneness” which followed the Verhovay-Rakoczi merger, con­cluding his words wth the happy thought that the youth of William Penn has awakened to its responsi­bilities as the heirs of this largest of Hungarian American societies. One of the many interested listeners as Mr. Sabo spoke was his wife who came with her husband to this great occasion in Branch 98-V history. I At this point Stephen Lang, Jr., president of the 98-V Organizing Committee, expressed thanks to the advertisers in the program book, which was prepared largely through the efforts of Charles Simon, Nicho­las Szolga and Stephen Lang, Jr. and was passed out to every guest, and thanked the banquet workers, Mrs. ^ Gal, Mrs. Huyter, Mrs. Czug, Mrs. Fodi and Mrs. Szanto, preparers of the delicious food, and Julia Gal, Helen Lippey, Mary Horvath, Rose Nagy, Margaret Fabian, Irene Lippert, Mary Szabó and Theresa Gerencsér, who so efficiently served at the banquet tables, and all others who assisted in making the jubilee event most suc­cessful.

In the Women’s Di­vision of Branch 98-V the officers are: Mrs. Julius Demko, president; Mrs. Alexander Sule, vice president; Mrs. Eugene Kiss, secretary; Mrs. Simon Freund, recorder; Mrs. Louis Domotor, controller.

John Ormay, Dr. Stiegler, voicing the high honors paid Hungarians on the recent Ko-ssuth stamp issue, asked the audience to end the formal program with the singing of the Kossuth song.

SICK CALL — We were sorry to learn that MICHAEL HOEFFLER en­tered the Kaiser Permente Hospital on October 28 for major surgery. He is now recuperating at home. We heard also that MRS. JOHN KUKOLY was confined to the hos­pital for 19 days but is now at home regaining her health. Rev. Stephen Bertalan had an ac­cident at home which did not result in anything too serious. Although he was not confined to a hospital, we understand that Rev. Bertalan was incapacitated at home for a few days. To the above mentioned members and to all those who were sick or had an accident which we did not hear about to report in the WILLIAM PENN, we wish to extend our heart­felt wishes for speedy and complete recovery.

Antonescu was a faithful Commu­nist party member. But he also en­joyed the lighter things in life. One day he went into a bar and ordered a double rum. Just as he was about to lift it to his lips, he heard a thunderous voice: “Antonescu,” it said. “The party frowns on alcoholism! Desist!” Antonescu put down his glas9 without drinking a drop, paid and walked out. At the door he saw a pretty girL He smiled. She smiled. He was about to ask where she was going, when he heard the voice again: “Antonescu! You are a married man! The party watches over the sanctity of the family! Desist!” Antonescu was annoyed this time, and answered back; “Who are you, anyhow, and why do you take such an interest in my personal affairs?” “I,” said the voice, “am your con­science.” “And whei-e were you,” replied An­tonescu, “on the day I joined the party?” “A LINE FROM L.A.” by Ernest F.
