NOVEMBER 15, 1961 51 NUMBER 16 CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS PARTY NOTICE TO BRANCH OFFICERS We are pleased to inform the branch officers that again, as in previous years, the Board of Directors has authorized aid for those branches which will sponsor Children’s Christmas Parties for their Juvenile Members. The allotment to each branch will be determined on the number of its Juvenile Members after formal application there­for is submitted to the Fraternal Affairs Division (formerly Fra­ternal Affairs Department). Allotments must be used for the purchase of small gifts which are to be distributed at the Christmas Parties only — at no other time and at no other place! Ice cream, pop, sweets and other similar refreshments are the responsibility of the branches, while decorations, such as those for Christmas trees, may be volunteered by individual members. Entertainment may be inexpensive as a variety of talent — acting, singing, dancing, recitation, etc. — is usually to be found in the youngsters themselves. Parents are always willing to help prepare their children’s contributions to the entertainment program. Although branches in general are entitled to subsidization for their Children’s Christmas Parties, this does not apply to branches with district offices because the dues collected as branch fees go into the branch treasuries with hardly any with­drawals for expenses, thus not necessitating financial aid to such branches. As done in previous years, the Fraternal Affairs Division "will, upon request, make up the “Children's Christmas Party in­vitations without cost to the branches, but the branches must purchase their own envelopes for mailing the invitations, and, of course, address the invitations also. In order for the Fraternal Affairs Division to prepare the invitations, each branch must report the DATE, TIME and PLACE of its Children’s Christmas Party, including the NUMBER OF CHILDREN to attend. Finally, applications for Christmas allotments should be mailed by November 20. The Children’s Christmas Parties have proved themselves worthy expressions of the fraternal love which the William Penn Fraternal Association holds for its Juvenile Members, who are the very future of our society. Every branch and every adult member of this Association should bear in mind that particular attention should be paid our Juvenile Members in order to foster their future interest in the William Penn. WILLIAM PENN MEMBERSHIP FOR EVERY CHILD OF WILLIAM PENN PARENTS! ATTENTION ALL OUR READERS Beginning in this issue, LINCOLN AND THE HUNGARIANS, by Edmund Vasvary, will be published in twelve installments in the WILLIAM PENN, appearing always on the last page. It will also be presented in Hungarian, beginning with the December issue. Mr. Vasvary, a former minister of the Hungarian Reformed Ghurch who later resigned the active ministry to follow other pursuits, is now retired. He specializes in history and is known as one of America’s leading Hungarian American historians and researchers. LINCOLN AND THE HUNGARIANS is a graphic true picture of the salient role Hungarians played in the American Civil War. It is hoped that this accurate historical story of the Hungarians in our Civil War will help bring to light the positive and lasting contributions of Hun­garians to the well-being of our country, a noble service not only going back to the War between the States and the American Revolution but recorded in a few instances even before these periods. The Board of Directors feels that the publication of LINCOLN AND THE HUNGARIANS in our official organ is a timely commemoration and tribute to the Civil War Centenary and to our own 75th Anniversary. We are sorry that we could not begin publication earlier this year. ANNOUNCEMENT At its October 1961 semiannual meeting, the Board of Di­rectors decided on Columbus, Ohio as the locality of the 19th Annual National William Penn Bowling Tournament and Fellow­ship Days in 1962. The original date set for the big yearly William Penn sport­­social-fraternal event was May 26-27. However, since neither one of the two large Columbus hotels could reserve the Grand Ball­room for us on the aforementioned date, it was necessary to es­tablish a new date when either Grand Ballroom would be available. The Neil House was able to offer us its Grand Ballroom on June 2-3, Saturday and Sunday, and so this new date, June 2-3, 1962, is the official date for the next William Penn Bowling Tournament-Fellowship Days. Headquarters hotel is THE NEIL HOUSE. Bowling will be at RAINBOW LANES (on High Street just 15 minutes from hotel, and transportation facilities between hotel and lanes are excellent). In Columbus (capital of Ohio) Branch 129 represents the William Penn Fraternal Association. Previous tournament held in Columbus, Ohio was in 1952. At this early date, we cordially invite every William Penn member to attend our annual national get-together in the fair City of Columbus, Ohio and in the company of our very hospitable members there. NEW JERSEY DIRECTORS ATTEND CULTURE PROMOTION EVENT Two New Jersey Directors of the William Penn Fraternal Association, Frank Radvany of Trenton and Jo­seph Kormondy of New Brunswick, recently attended the annual fund­raising dinner for the Hungarian Studies Foundation and the Ameri­can Hungarian Institute, dedicated to the preservation of Hungarian art and culture and with headquarters at Rutgers University. The Foundation and the Institute are under the leadership of Dr. Au­gust J. Molnár, president, who at this dinner reviewed the accomplish­ments of the organization and spoke of its goals for the future. A target date of 1966 has been set for es­tablishment of the chair at Rutgers University and construction and de­dication of the library and museum in 1966, to tie in with the univer­sity’s 200th anniversary. Principals at the dinner were Dr. David D. Denker, assistant to Rut­gers University president; Steven Dohanos, well-known Hungarian art­ist and main speaker; City Commis­sioner Luke J. Horvath; Dr. Andrew Kosa, pastor of the Magyar Refor­med Church; William Puskas, com­mittee chairman; Attorney Joseph J. Takacs, toastmaster. All extolled the aspirations and work of the Hun­garian Studies Foundation and the American Hungarian Institute under the capable leadership of Dr. Molnár. Eleven social, religious and fra­ternal organizations comprised the general committee of the program. Two organizations, the WILLIAM PENN FRATERNAL ASSOCIA­TION and the HUNGARIAN RE­FORMED FEDERATION, received thanks for their liberal financial sup­port toward the efforts of the Foun­dation and the Institute. Certificates of acknowledgment were presented to the organizations and accepted by their representatives, Directors Kor­mondy and Radvany for the William Penn and the Rev. Leslie J. Carey representing the Federation. A brighter future appears on the horizon for the Hungarian Studies Foundation and the American Hun­garian Institute. ■ Drive safely and courteously yourself. ■ Insist on strict enforcement of all traffic laws..
