PAGE 6 July 18, 1962. William Penn FLOOD CITY NEWS BRANCH 8-V JOHNSTOWN, PA. by Steve T. Molnár and Michael Duray QiQiQiQlQ'O'Q Greetings, William Penners: Two down and four to go. By this we mean that the tournament and our annual picnic have gone by the boards. We have so much to write about that it is difficult to begin. We thank the Columbus, Ohio Branch 129 membership for the enjoyable time we all had at the tournament. We sincerely hope to see many of our friends here in Johnstown, Pa., on August 18, at the Flood City Mixed Team affair. The annual Branch 8 Picnic was held June 24 and was an enjoyable event. We have received many favorable comments on the affair because of the old-fashioned Hungarian style in which it was held. Although we are not all of Hungarian descent, we do believe and aspire to learn to be efficient in Hungarian knowledge and tradition, and the heritage of these FINE CULTURES, be they food, dances and what-have you. We are fortunate that we have an expert dance instructor, Mrs. Eugene Galanty, who is Hungarian and has toured Hungary and brought back the various Hungarian dances that she is teaching to our Junior and Senior groups. We have members such as Stephen Balogh, Stephen Petruska Jr., Alex Juhasz and Mrs. Henry Bachik, who teach our groups the Grape Festival Dance, and, last but not least, we have the Fraternal Affairs Department of the Home Office under the Direction of President Julius Macker and Fraternal Affairs Administrator Frank J. Cher, to help promote and keep alive these precious traditions. Anyone wishing to see these dancers in action may do so by attending the following affairs: Aug. 18, the Dinner-Dance; Oct. 20, Grape Festival; Nov. 17, Twenty-Five Year Member Banquet; and the Christmas Party in December. They will also perform at the District Junior Bowling Tournament. Our thanks to these women who did yeoman service in preparing the delicious food for the picnic: Mrs. Frank Dudash Sr, Mrs. Stephen Kedves, Mrs. Joseph Kadas Sr, Mrs. John Buchshaw, Mrs. Alex Juhasz, Mrs. John Angyel, Mrs. John Balogh, Mrs. John Zwarick, Mrs. Emery Karafa, Mrs. Theresa Dudash, Mrs. Szyko, Mrs. M. Kormocky, and Mrs. S. Kadas. Our thanks to Frank Dudash Sr, Alex Sabo, John Zonin, Frank Tobakos, Frank Krall, Don Wyar, Francis E. Silka, and to ticket seller Joseph Madarasz Jr, also John Kopach, Denny Radnóti, and brothers Garry and David. Our thanks to the following dancers who performed so well to the delight of the guests: Annette and Michele Horvath, Sue Gory, Margaret Buckshaw, Diana Holtzman, Francine Tobakos, Jean Schrengost, Kathy Szekeresh, Sue Szekeresh, Michele Szekeresh, Patty Szekeresh, Pamela Mehalko, Rita and Debra Devorick, Sheila Godeck, Monica, Helena, and Pamela Micik, Mr. Francis Silka, Joseph and Richard Micik, Thomas Cowan, David and Garry Radnóti, James Schrengost Jr, Bobby Toth, John Toth, Donald and Larry Dudash, and Jimmy Szekeresh, and Barbara Stöfa. WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE 1. The formation of the Women’s Auxiliary. 2. The formation of a Hungarian Barber-Shop Quartet. 3. A District Office and a Branch 8 Home. BOWLING There are two summer leagues in action, one Senior and one Junior. The Seniors bowl every Thursday evening and the Juniors meet every Saturday morning at the Westmont Lanes. We wish happy birthday and anniversary wishes to you who celebrated in June and to you who will celebrate in July. Get well and speedy recovery to all our sick and ailing members, and our deepest sympathy to those who lost beloved ones. A Reminder to Our Members: All these affairs and activities are and will not be possible if we do not encourage our friends and neighbors to enroll as William Penn Fraternal Association LIFE INSURANCE MEMBERS. We know, or should know, that a garden or a flower bed will wilt, die or not produce without the proper care. So it is with our WILLIAM PENN. It must have new members for the growth and benefit of our Association. Too many of our people seem to forget that they are William Penn members, that there are men in their communities who sell the best protection in selling William Penn. You membrs are satisfied, so let’s get some reaction from your satisfaction. Don’t hesitate to let your friends or neighbors know that you are contented William Penn Fraternal Association policy holders. If you do, maybe they will call either Michael Duray or Steve T. Molnár, your local William Penn men. REMEMBER CALL THE MEN FROM WILLIAM PENN. SEE YOU AUGUST 18 AT THE MIXED TEAM TOURNAMENT. —MICHAEL DURAY The President Rolls First At the national William Penn tournaments our president enjoys the prerogative of rolling the first ball, which symbolizes the opening of the tournament. Here President Macker lets go the ball in Columbus, and he downed most of the pins.

Somogyi, Treasurer John Sabo, Controller Mr, Toma’s Impressions on His Recent Visit to Hungary (REPORTED TO MEMBERS OF BRANCH 48) For these past years I have heard all kinds of rumors about the bad conditions in Hungary regarding the lives of those living there. I therefore decided this year to go there to see for myself. I must admit that before I arrived I did not know what to expect. Perhaps it was different in the past, but FINANCIAL STATEMENT — MAY, 1962 I noted, and I was pleasantly surprised, that when I arrived there everyone was courteous and no one bothered me. I went about the City of Budapest as if I had always lived there. I took plenty of moving pictures and still pictures. This I was allowed to do and no one ever questioned me as to why I was taking pictures. Also I visited other cities and towns in Hungary, and I found that I could walk about freely without fear of being followed.

During my stay there I made many friends in and around Budapest, and I must truly state that the welcome I received all over shall never be forgotten. Now I know that the Hungarian people are great hosts. Even though these very same people would have lost a days pay, they volunteered to take time off from work to show me around. They are proud of their country and I do not blame them for it. I too am very proud now to be of Hungarian descent. In conclusion, I can positively sáy that if a tourist wants to enjoy himself immensely, at a nominal cost, Hungary is the place for him, especially in big and beautiful Budapest, Queen City of the Danube. —JOSEPH TOMA Regional Manager Branch 48 JULIUS E.
