NATURALIZATION Question: I came to the United States two years ago and would like. to take a job, which requires that I be a citizen or declared my inten­tion of becoming a citizen. Some­body told me that official declara­tion of intention formerly required for naturalization was abolished by the Immigration and Nationality Act. Is there, anything which takes its place ? Answer: While it is true that the declaration of intention, popularly called “first papers”, is no longer necessary for naturalization, you ne­vertheless can apply for first pa­pers if you need them for employ­ment or any other reason. Go to the nearest office of the U. S. Immi­gration and Naturalization Service, explain your situation, and you will be given the necessary papers to be filled out. John Tenkely, 74 year old presi­dent of Bi-anch 130-V, East Chicago, Indiana, was the victim of a gun fired by a lone masked bandit who held up his tavern and escaped with between fifty and sixty dollars. He was a native of Hungary. The members of Branch 130-V grieve the wanton slaying of the po pular branch president. A Requiem Mass was sung Thurs­day April 17th at Holy Trinity Hun­garian Church by the Rev. Joseph Sipos. The remains was interred in the Elmwood Cemetery. The deceased is survived by his widow, two daughters, Mrs. Stephen Simon of Munster, Indiana and Mrs. William Fischer of Grand Haven, Michigan; three sons, John, Jr., Jo­seph and Robert, all of East Chica­go; 11 grandchildren and three great­grandchildren. In addition to his fraternal acti­vities, Mr. Sipos was civic-minded and served in various betterment activi­ties. He was a councilman for 17 years, was active in the Boy Scouts, the Blind and Crippled Manufactur­ers Association, bond drives, smoke abatement, river and harbor conven­tions in Washington. D. C., the Holy Trinity Church and the First Hun­garian Reformed Church. We express our sympathies to the bereaved family. William Penn Fraternal Association CERTIFICATE OF AUDIT The books and accounts of the William Penn Fraternal Association were audited and examined for the six months beginning July 1, 1957 end ending on December 31, 1957 and certification * is hereby made as to the correctness of the financial schedules and exhibits for the above-mentioned period as stated in the published reports of the William Penn Fraternal Association. We examined all income accounts. Individual branch treasury slips showing total branch remittances were checked against those amounts of­ficially tabulated in the dues ledger; all interests received were traced to bank deposit slips, and the same can be stated for rentals from Home Office Buildings, and also for interests received from all of the mortgage loans on our books. A physical count and inspection verified stock dividends credited to our Association; profit on sold and called bonds was also verified, and each deposit checked against the bank statement as issued by responsible banking institutions. Our Bond Portfolio showed a value of $21,793,071.87 and our Stocks were valued at $300,576.51, as of December 31, 1957. Our Assets and their distribution as of December 31, *1957 were as follows: Bonds ...................................................................... $21,793,071.87 Stocks .......................................................................................... 300,576.51 Savings Accounts ........................................................................ 79,503.74 Mortgage Loan Account ........................................................... 2,104,052.48 Commercial Checking Acc’ts .................................................. 143,800.3? Certif. Loans and Lien Acc’t .................................................... 784,557.32 Real Estate — Branch Loans ................................................. 39,557.50 Real Estate ................................................................................... 715,267.27 Airline Deposit ............................................................................ 425.00 Security for Branch Office Rental ......................................... 650.00 Total Assets $25,961,442.01 The members of the Auditing Committee checked firsthand the accuracy of the items listed above, and found the extensions and computations cor­rect. Furthermore, those papers dealing with many of the items listed above were obtained together with the necessary ledgers and books of account and verification was obtained to our complete satisfaction. Considerable time was devoted to the examination of the disbursements made by our Association in the various departments and under the headings of sick benefit, commissions and salaries, dividends, loans and trust fund, death benefit claims, investment expenses, official publication, advertising and other miscellaneous expenses. In the examination of these items, each individual check disbursed was accounted for. Then, too, all necessary­­supporting papers and vouchers were most carefully scrutinized for each and every item. The Auditing Committee members investigated the current position of our Association as regards the proposed new William Penn office building, and the financial return being obtained on the site of the proposed building. We noted that the building developments were progressing favorably and in the interim the Association was realizing a good return from the site of the proposed building which is now being used as a parking lot. We know that our financial interests in this particular project are being safely and securely protected. All members of your Auditing Committee were privileged to attend a session of the Board of Directors April 14, 1958, during which time we were able to evaluate the proposed changes in office and management procedures. We are of the opinion that the contempated changes will give you a most modern, efficient and progressive organization. Our examination began April 14th, 1958 and was completed April 25th, 1958. AUDITING COMMITTEE Caspar Papp, Chairman William C. Kohut, Secretary Andrew Bandy, Member * Frank Földi, Member Albert B. Mark, Member * Frank Földi was unable to sign this report because of his confinement in the Shadyside Hospital as of April 22nd, 1958.
