January 15, 1958 PAGE 9 William Penn MOTOR CITY NEWS BRANCH 36-V — DETROIT, MICHIGAN By Jolán Lucas There are just a few second-generation families who are active in William Penn affairs for instance: Steve and Julia Danko, Geza and Helen Madarasz ar.d the Lucas family, and the children of these three families. We have a great dea.l of fun, but it would be more fun if we could sharé with other fellow American generation members. This is the main reason why Julia and Geza work so hard with the Junior Club, and why Luke and I are trying so hard to organize a Sports Club. We need help, cooperation and belief in the future of these various clubs. Maybe 1058 will bring- about the> progressive changes which will help us achieve our goal.

Mrs. Stephen Danko and Geza Madarász wish to take this opportunity to thank the women and teen-age giyls who helped make this Christmas Party such a success. They all met at Mrs. Danko’s home at a special meeting; each member was assigned a specific post of duty. The women who helped to perform this tremendous task were as follows? Mrs. Agnes Kamm, Mrs. Emma Wieticha, Mrs. Florence Kadar, Mrs Helen Kovceses and Mi’s. Helen Madarasz. It is through such cooperation that the William Penn Fraternal Association will achieve its goal of fraternalism. Thank you, everybody! We hope we can call on such members in the future. A special vote of thanks should go to Mrs. Stephen Danko for her tremendous efforts in keeping alive the interest of the William Penn Junior members, sacrificing many hardworking hours for rehearsals, organizing these social events for the pleasure of the junior members, and her own belief that in the near future her “children” will have a place to call their own.

We find it most appropriate to conclude this article by reproducing the short address made by Director Kovács on the Frank Szappanos Radio Hour, which follows immediately: DEAR LISTENERS: It is vuletide and in a few days Christians everywhere will be celebrating Christmas, their holiest of holy days and their greatest holiday. Even non-Christians in their own way' contribute to the observance of Christmas. Greetings and gift exchanging add much to the universal appeal of this great day, but the real significance of Christmas is its religious meaning and spiritual awakening. Christmas then is, first, a magnificent religious occasion, and second, a day of much joy and fellowship. At this time a wonderful feeling of good will toward one another comes to men and peace finds its place ir. humanity’s heart. The Christmas spirit is in the Cleveland branches of the William Penn Fraternal Association. Today, December 22d, thgse branches are unitedly holding a Fellowship Banquet at the William Penn Home in honor of the Hungarian Refugees who are still emotionally torn by their recent ordeals, still hopefully adjusting themselves to the ways and economic conditions of their new environment. May our honored giicsts enjoy themselves immensely üt this splendid affair. And even as we pay tribute today to the valiant Hungarian Refugees, let us pray for the millions of souls who remain behind in devastated Hungary as the victims of cruel oppression and tyranny. Let us aid the unfortunate Hungarians in every way possible, so that their faith and hope be not replaced by despair. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
