Extra dollars may be jyours by talking with present William Penn members plus their families and friends about the full range of innovative pol­icies and products that are available. The opening of our Sep­tember meeting at 8 p.m., was delayed just a bit as Pete Rose, the Cincinnati Reds baseball player-manager, chose that ' time to hit his 4,192nd hit, thus breaking Ty Cobb’s record of the most lifetime hits. After see­ing the record-breaking hit on television, we then went to work to plan the 1985 Christmas Par­ty, which will be held Saturday, December 14, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the spacious auditorium of the Seafarer’s Union Hall, 2800 South High Street. Door prize winners in September were Mary Coleman and Krisztina Szabó. Beginning in January, our branch meetings will be held on the second Wednesday of EACH month at Leonardo’s, 1374 Parsons, corner of Frebis. Meetings in the next few months will be held at 8 p.m. on January 8, February 12, March 12, and April 9. As each of us grows older, the circumstances in our lives often change dramatically. If your circumstances are such that now would be a good time for you to “reach out” a little, ’'then come out of hibernation this winter. Stop by and say hi at one of our wintertime William Penn monthly get-togethers. Come with someone you know OR come on your own. You belong at William Penn. Continued from page 14, column 5 BRANCH 132 South Bend, IN By HELEN V. SABO Acquisition of two valuable corner lots directly across the street from the William Penn Home Office was an important milestone in the progressive history of Branch 132 in South Bend. Officers and members were justly proud of the property addition and demonstrated that pride in working diligently to clean up the lots. A picture reflects the building owned by the branch and the properties are situated directly across the street. This was one of the many activities that highlighted the summer months. Senior Citizens of our organization meet weekly on Thursdays at 1 p.m. for social gatherings, in­cluding playing cards and bowling. They recently spon­sored a chartered bus trip to see the Chicago Cubs host the San Diego Padres. Once again the branch par­ticipated in the annual South Bend 2-day Ethnic Festival where our “Magyar Csarda” booth served delicious Hungarian foods and pastries. The booth, as always, was the busiest of all nationalities. The event enabled us to demon­strate our heritage and image. Many William Penn fraternalists worked untiringly during the festival. The social committee and of­ficers also worked diligently in promoting another successful homecoming picnic on the William Penn Home grounds in August. And, again, outstand-60 YEAR MEMBER — Nicholas Manack, of Branch 8164 in Steubenville. Ohio, was presented with a 60 year pin by National Auditor Louis A. Fodor, left, during a branch meeting in October. Dominick Travoli and Albert DiFalco also received 60 year pins, but were unable to attend. Fodor received a donation of items from the branch and these were turned over to Nick Kotik for eventual display in a proposed museum at the Knights of St. George Home in Wellsburg, W. Va. ing culinary creations of Hungarian origin, proved over­whelmingly popular. We are grateful to all those who worked so many hours to make the Festival and picnic the successes they were. Our annual fall chicken and pork dinner-dance was held in October and more than 250 per­sons were in attendance. And still another crowning achieve­ment was the winning efforts of our Girls Softball Team. They won the city championship. Congratulations to players and managers. Our membership drive is in progress and we recommend that all certificate members join the Social Club as well. The annual Children’s Christmas Party is planned for Saturday, Dec. 14 at 2 p.m. Children to the age of 15 will be invited. The annual election of of­ficers meeting will be held Tues­day, Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. in the meeting room. All members are encouraged to attend to discuss future directions of the organization. We extend a hearty welcome to South Bend representatives Gary Clevenger (agency manager) and Gabriella (Csatlós) Whelan (sales repre­sentative and office clerk). They are recommended highly to serve all of our insurance needs. New office hours are Mon­day, Wednesday and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For further information, telephone 287-8245. SOUTH BEND PROPERTY — The pride of Branch 132, of South Bend, Indiana, is reflected in the handsome structure shown here. It houses the office and social club and is a focal point of activities.

ARTIST’S DIALOGUE The Tireless Eye of André Kertész Laundry hung out to dry, a boy hugging a lamb, a fallen cart horse, a fork resting against a dinner plate, a row of chairs, a blind musician, a flower vendor, a jar of pennies, some haystacks. All these common things have been the focus of André Kertész's photographs. “I am interested in every direction — animals, landscapes, people, events,” says Kertész. “If it happened and I saw it, I made a note with my camera.” His indefatigable eye can find a miraculous image in anything, and it has done so since 1912, when he took his first picture. The distinctive style of reportage he invented — one of transparent naturalism, in which the ordinary scrap of experience assumes universal meaning, and inanimate objects vibrate with quiet expectancy — is now celebrated as the bedrock of modern photography. His unob­trusive yet highly personal recording of the life around him helped guide Brassai, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa and Bill Brandt. “I am a com­pletely egoistic photographer, making pictures only for myself, not to influence anyone,” Kertész insists. Nevertheless, the history of photography would be inconceivable without him. Kertész is a hardy ninety­­year-old and he has devoted his entire life to increasing sophistication. His mature style demonstrated a playful in­telligence and taut sense of form that were incontestably modern. Paying a visit to Piet Mondrian’s studio in 1926, he came away with three landmark images: one of the entrance hall, one a careful arrangement of Mondrian’s pipe and eye­glasses, and finally a portrait of the painter himself. In each of his compositions — the interior, the still life, and the straight­forward likeness — Kertész fixed the essential being of Mondrian the man and artist. A similar revelation shapes his photograph of a fork, in which a simple utensil is transformed into a symbol of contemplation and refinement. Continued from page 13, column 5
