OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE WILLIAM PENN FRATERNAL ASS'N

NUMBER 1 JANUARY 1968 VOLUME 3

VTM X,/«

With this issue the Official Publication of William Penn Fraternal Association has embarked on a program of providing the members with a monthly publication, going from a quarterly to a monthly publication means that we shall be in a better position to keep the members informed about “LIFE” in and about our Association. Once again Branches will have an opportunity to utilize this medium for informing the public about their fraternal, sports, social and charitable activities. The purpose of this publication is to help the membership to be informed not only about Branch activities but from the fiome Office level also, publicizing the many benefits our Association provides through its modern portfolio of life insurance as well as Accident and Health Insurance, offered through our Full and Part-Time Field Representatives.

The history of our official publication is interesting. It has been the center of many a debate at the Branch Meetings, Board Meetings and Conventions. Perhaps a quick review would better acquaint the reader with the story bf our Publication. The present publication is really the survivor of three different official publications. In 1912 the then Unity of the former Workingmens Sick Benefit Association began publishing until the Association merged with us in 1947. The Verhovay Journal began in 1918 and the Rákóczi Review in 1923. As a result of merger in January 1956, the William Penn Publication emerged which was published monthly in an English edition and a monthly publication in the Hungarian language for our then predominantly Hungarian speaking members.

As costs continued to mount, the Officers and Board sought ways and means to furnish a publication within a specified budget. Members do not pay for the publication thus the cost of it must come from the general expense fund of the Association. In order to stay within a sensible and reasonable budget it was necessary to go to a quarterly publication in January 1966, thus was born THE TORCH. By directive of the Convention the last issue of The Torch was published November 1967.
