It is with a deep sense of loss that your reporter writes this last article in a familiar format, which has been used for the last 30 or more years since I first began writ­ing for Verhovay-William Penn. As editors changed, so changed editorial policies. Those of us who enjoyed writing our journalistic tid­bits felt we were doing some good in publicizing our respective branch­es and the association, and altered our writing to fit the demands of each succeeding editor. Now comes an entirely new format, fewer issues, but the work will go on if the publicity of branch activ­ities will reach the membership. Since the next issue will not be pub­lished until February, a short sum­mary of future activities must be inserted with this final issue under the old format. Success to the new “William Penn”. THE LADIES’ AUXILIARY held its annual election of officers De­cember 1st with the following re­sults: President: Margaret Veszpré­mi; Vice-President: Mary Farkas; Secretary: Elvira László (Bette Ri­gó resigned the post); Treasurer: Julia Danko; Auditor: Jolán Lucas. The HUNGARIAN TREASURES COOK BOOK, in its fifth edition, is available for $1.55 by mail, or $1.25 direct purchase from any officer, member, or the district office. For mail orders send $1.55 to Mrs. Mar­garet Veszprémi, 2415 Stair St., Det­roit 9, Michigan, or to Mrs. Elizabeth Rigo, 3920 Fort Street, Lincoln Park, Michigan. The annual outing of the Ladies’ 'Auxiliary was the most gratifying social of this fine group of women. Dinner in the Surrey Room of the Statler Hilton Hotel presented a gay group of women in their best finery, excellent cuisine, and a short walk to the theater to see the fine musical, “The Song of Music”. That memor­able evening will be remembered vi­vidly for a long time. SPORTS CLUB ACTIVITIES are rolling along smoothly with a Christ­mas party in the near future on Sa­turday, December 18th. Guests of honor at this members only party will include Branch 18 President and Director Stephen Danko, and his wife; Division Managers Steve Úsz­tok and Andrew Vince, District Ma­nager Edward A. Darocy, District Agent Tibor Halo, and their wives. The Sport Club Mixed League is moving along well and there are but few absentees from this gay league. Careful drivers never know when they save their own lives. [§] Going to church is not a sure cure for your sins, but it will help. [§] Self-control is a virtue that indi­viduals recommend to their friends. [§] Health is something that is appre­ciated by those who need it most. [§] Not every lawyer makes a contri­bution to justice in his community. [§] Sometimes a fool has talent, but never judgement. -La Rochefoucauld Scores are up and down, but the en­joyment is always “tops”. The APPRECIATION DINNER for our branch members who worked hard at the storm-ridden summer picnic of the branch in August was a very satisfying event. All the guests who attended again pledged their wholehearted support to join in future branch social activities, and to make them as successful as the summer picnic. We must do this more often,” was the unanimous decision of the group. So to “do this more often,” the branch will hold its “60th-80th AN­NIVERSARY BANQUET AND DANCE,” on Saturday, April 30, 1966, at the new Hungarian Refor­med Church in Allen Park. This big event will honor the founding of the William Penn Fraternal Association 80 years ago, and to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Branch 36, which now includes many other fine branch­es which merged to make Branch 18 the largest branch in the Associa­tion. These mergers through the years have proved that branches are more successful when united under the proper conditions. Their working groups have a better selection of able administrators to carry on fra­ternal, social and sports activities. DON’T FORGET to start lining up your teams for the 23d ANNUAL NATIONAL WILLIAM PENN BOWLING TOURNAMENT AND FELLOWSHIP DAYS to be held in Pittsburgh in 1966. Gather your bowlers together, sign up your new members to form teams. Your repor­ter is rather curious to know what “new rules and regulations'* will be made for the coming tournament. A phrase in the November 17th issue of the WILLIAM PENN caught my eyes: “There will be some changes in the rules and regulations as well as in the operation of the bowling tournament.” Details are promised in coming issues. I hope everyone will read these changes so that there will .be no misunderstandings later * * ELECTION OF OFFICERS of Branch 18 will be held Sunday, Ja­nuary 9th at 2 p. m., VFW Post #552, located at 1125 Fort Street, corner of Montie, Lincoln Park. The membership is requested to attend to elect satisfactory officers for the year 1966. Now to wish each and every one of you a very Happy Christmas, and may the New Year of 1966 bring you many blessings. You can go a long wray in the world if you make it your business to mind your own business. [§] Marriage is not a solutio.n to all problems, but it solves most of them. [§] A miser is not as bad as those who do not know how to give of them­selves. [§] The individual, or nation, unwil­ling- to fight for its rights is not entitled to any. t§] Book learning is not all of educa­tion, but it is an essential part, and there is no substitute. On this matter I never can win, Though I argue my point ’til I shout, If I’ve made up my mind to stay in She’s made up her face to go out.--------§-------­Seeing Double Drunk — Ho! Lady, you got two ver’ beautiful legs. Girl (snapping) — How would you know? Drunk (brightly) — I counted ’em.--------§-------­He Did “Daddy, if you give me a dime I’ll tell you what the iceman said to Mama.” “O. K., here’s your dime.” “He said: ‘Any ice today, lady?’ ”--------§-------­Progress Ginko: “Are you making any prog­ress in getting acquainted with those fashionable people who have just moved next door to you?” Jellybean: “Their cat invited our cat over to a musicale last night.”------------§-----------­Funny People “Some people are funny,” mused the man in the bar. “I know a fel­low who hadn’t kissed his wife fol­tén years. Then he goes and shoots a guy who did.”--------§-------­Speedy “Have you ever been pinched for going too fast?” “No, but I’ve been slapped.” Might Throw It Up to her “Then you wouldn’t let him pro­pose?” “Not last night.” “Why not?” . “We were at bridge.” “Hasn’t he won you?” “Yes,, but I didn’t want it said he won me at a bridge party.”-------§------­The World Progresses Mazie: Is your boy friend a one­­ann driver?” Mamie: Not him. He takes a taxi and uses both arms.”-------------§-------------­Answered Him He appeared before the company officer, charged with using insulting­­language to his sergeant. “Please, sir,” he protested. “I was only answering a question.” “What question?” snapped the of­ficer. “Well, sir,” the sergeant said, ‘What do you think I am?’ and I told him.” The unpleasant things in life make so much noise that we forget the silent operation of the good. —Joshua Liebman Loafing becomes respectable when the doctor tells you it is necessary.
