Promotion: Key To Our Success A ¥ A ¥ ¥ ¥I ^WPA Advisory Board Honored MCKEESPORT, PA — The Association honored the members of its Advisory Board with a special dinner Nov. 18 at the Youghiogheny Country Club. The event not only honored seven of the William Penn’s most illustrious members but also marked those seven’s combined 230-plus years of service to the Association. “We are here this evening to honor those who have given so much of their time and of their lives in the last 50 years to our Society,” said National President Gay B. Banes. In recognition of their status as Advisory Board members, each of the honorees was presented with a plaque acknowledging theirspecial position in the Association. One by one the Advisory Board members were introduced and presented their plaques. Those honored were John P. Balia, Frank Bero, Stephen Danko, Michael Hegedűs, Joseph Toma and Frank J. Wukovits Sr. Advisory Board Member and President Emeritus Elmer Charles was presented a special plaque, recognizing his appointment as Consultant to the William Penn.

It gave us all the chance to pause and reflect upon how the William Penn and its predecessor societies survived such a long time. Looking back, it is clear to see that it took much love, unity and hard work to maintain the William Penn as a strong, viable society. We can learn much from studying the past successes and failures of those who served before us. However, we must never fail to realize that what was succesful in the past may not produce the same results today. I do not need to tell you that we live in an ever changing world. To succeed one must be able to adapt. If the William Penn is to not only maintain but expand its fraternal and benevolent services during the next 100 years, we must move now in the direction which will allow Remembering 1956 Revolution And Reformation By Robert Gillette The Los Angeles Times BUDAPEST, HUNGARY -In a weed-grown corner of a municipal cemetery in Budapest, a few humps in the grass disclose the presence of unmarked graves. Some are adorned with plastic flowers and rusting crosses, but there are no names. Although the government refuses to confirm it, many people believe that the bodies of about 200 leading participants who were executed after the 1956 Hungarian uprising, which began 30 years ago, are buried here. Among the graves, it is widely believed, are those of the principal heroes of Eastern Europe’s bloodiest revolt against Soviet domination: the young army general Pal Maleter and the Hungarian Communist Party leader Imre Nary, a lifelong loyalist to the Soviet cause who turned against Moscow in the latter stages of the uprising only as Moscow turned against him.

Today, there is one concept which is repeatedly given credit for the phenominal success of many fast growing companies. That concept is expressed in one simple word: Promotion.

Three days later, under the new leadership of Janos Kadar, who remains the party chief today, Hungary again became a faithful ally of the Soviet Union, a “fraternal” member of the socialist camp.
