Dinner-Dance sponsored by the Branch 18 Magyar Dancers for the benefit of no less than the National Muscular Dystrophy Fund. Here is a group which unselfishly gave of their time and talent, working on a limited budget, for the sole purpose of financially but most importantly spiritually helping those who suffer from the dread disease muscular dystrophy. The Dinner-Dance was held August 25, 1979 in the Allen Park Road Hungarian Reformed Church Hall which was gaily decorated for the occasion by the dancers themselves. More than two hundred fifty members and friends joined with us for the occasion. These youngsters put on a show that would put many a professional dance group to shame, time after time they were applauded back for encores. After enjoying a most delicious meal there was a short program MC-ed by Jimmy Lochinger one of the dancers and teachers. Mr. Stephen Danko, National Director and President of Branch 18 thanked everyone on behalf of the dancers for their support. This writer was then called upon for a few remarks. It was his pleasant duty to present each of the dancers with a group picture taken at the Pittsburgh Bowling Tournament with his excellency Ferenc Esztergályos, Ambassador of Hungary to the U.S.A. The pictures were presented with the compliments of Mr. Elmer Charles, National President. Receiving pictures were: Julie Kish, Jeff Danko, Jennifer Szatmári, Tillie Racz, Jim Lochinger, Julie Egei, Siska Racz, Tammy Gebnar, Darla Katona, Karen Bubenko, Leslie Egei, Debbie Gall, Darlene Szatmári, Judy Bubenko, Robert Bubenko, John Gebnar and Jolanda Kovács. Successful programs such as this would never be possible without the hard work of a few who are willing to sacrifice time and energy for the benefit of all. Most of the dances are choreographed by Mrs. Darlene Szatmári and the rehearsals also conducted by her assisted by Jim Lochinger. Our congratulations to both of these hard working members for making it possible to enjoy this dance group. A special thanks must be given to the mothers and grandmothers who spend endless hours sewing the lovely authentic native Hungarian costumes worn by the dancers and once they are ready they keep them in beautiful condition. All of us in the William Penn Association owe a debt of gratitude to all of our hard working, conscience members who dedicate themselves to the cause of fraternalism, particularly when it means the preservation of our precious Magyar heritage. For Top Fireplace Use Just as campfires provided men of olden times with heat and the safe feeling of a light in the darkness, the dancing flames in a modem fireplace captivate people today. There are a number of steps to take for a more enjoyable and longerlasting fire: 1. Always place logs and kindling on a grate off the floor of the hearth. This allows for air flow and even burning. 2. A generous amount of crumpled or twisted newspaper should first be placed on the grate. On top of the paper, criss-cross small sticks of kindling. 3. Three logs are ideal for building a fire. Set the longest and thickest logs across the back of the grate, leaving airflow space between the logs and the firebox wall. Place a second log, preferably split, a few inches in front, then another split log atop the two. 4. Place an open newspaper sheet on top of the logs and set it afire. This warms the flue and establishes a draft. Then light the loose ends of the paper under the kindling. 5. Close the fireplace screen, adjust your glass doors, and then relax and enjoy your fireplace. Question of the Month Why do we speak more harshly to those who love us and more kindly to those who neither know nor care about us? 1 7
