ed. On October Gth my faithful secretary, Mrs. Magda Zaboji passed away. On October 1st Mr. Zoltán Bottykos left the Federation.

We still completed the year-end closing works on time, thanks to the outstanding help of some of my employees. A special recognition and praise is due here to Mrs. Katalin Paschke, dr. Zoltán Korossy and our new head-book-keeper, Mr. Gyula László.

I also extend my appreciation to Mrs. Vilma Csorba, Miss Elizabeth Nagy, Mrs. Irene Simon, Mr. Tibor Junghans and the recently employed Mrs. Andrea Nagy.

My dear Fellow-Members of the Council, I could never call on anyone of you without getting full and highly appreciated co-operation. I thank you all for the fine support and understanding I was fortunate enough to enjoy as a friend and as a humble official of our Federation. God bless you all.

I hope that my report will meet your approval and gain final acceptance, I remain,

Fraternally yours,

László L. Eszenyi Controller.

Mother’s Day, May 12,

Means Liberation Soon

Mothers of the world . . . unite!

You have nothing to lose but your aprons.

So why not unite? Why not form a union, indivisible, with liberty and justice for Moms?

Everyone agrees there is nothing greater than Mother. And everyone knows that Mother is the most underpaid and overworked worker in the world.

True, Mother’s work may be a labor of love. But does that mean that every Dad, son, and daughter has to take advantage of her good nature and her desire to please each member of the family?

Think about that occupation and/or profession known as motherhood. This is a field that requires one woman to be a combination nurse, economist, cook, psychologist, mechanic, seamstress, femme fatale, shopping expert, teacher — in short, a Jill-of-all-trades. And her work day ranges from 16 to 25 hours a day. Why, then, should not mothers unite — unite to form that most perfect union that will allow these simple rights:

— Bargaining sessions with the children, who should share some of the chores.

— Double time for all efforts expended after a 12-hour day. Payment to be made in money or in appreciative words as good as gold.

— Dinner at a restaurant at least once a week.

— A week’s vacation each year far from any stove, washing machine, iron, or any other household appliance.

— Recognition and love on every birthday, anniversary, and Mother’s Day.

Yes, this is just a beginning. And what better time to begin than this May on Mother’s Day . . ,
