Branch 10 Barton, OH Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 349 Weirton, WV By Louis A. Fodor National Director Our three branches, along with the Upper Valley Hungarian- American Cultural Society, held a fall szüreti bál Oct. 21 at Some­place Special in Martins Ferry. More than 100 people attended the affair. The tables were decorated with Indian corn and gourds, thanks to the efforts of Darla and Jim Kalman and their daughters. George Bátyi and his group supplied the music, featuring Anton Phillips on the cimbalom, Casey on the keyboards and Bill Csontos on the saxophone. Sit­ting in with the band were local musicians Dan Laslo, Lou Fodor, John Suto and Francis Duska. Everyone got into the spirit of the event, dancing and, later, joining in a sing-along led by the officers. A very good selection of foods was served, including goulash, cabbage noodles, kolasz and sauerkraut sandwiches and a vari­ety of pastries. Our thanks go to those who helped make this event a success, namely Ethel Fodor, Mary and Joseph Tocash, Margaret and Dan Laslo, Mary and Gilbert Russ, Irene Ivan, Helen and Bill Albert, and Suzanne and Andy Suták.

Branch 28 Youngstown, OH By Kathy Novak Branch 28 Reporter Wishing a blessed Christmas sea­son to all. It seems almost impossible that the holidays are upon us again. But, the calendar proves it to be true. We hope everyone enjoys spending time with family and friends at this festive time of the year. Don’t forget—Dec. 16 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Santa will be at 2219 Donald Ave. for the annual family Christmas party. Hope to see lots of smiling faces that day. For the adult members, a brief meeting will be conducted follow­ing the party to elect branch officers for 1996. The 1995 officers will be de­livering Christmas baskets to sev­eral area families who need a little assistance during the holidays. Special note of interest: the Struthers High School radio sta­tion, WKTL-FM 90.7, is back on the air. The Hungarian program hosted by Andy and Terry Check is on again Saturdays from noon to 1:30 p.m. Congratulations to all the 1995 sales contest winners, especially Alan Szabó and Michael Tom­­csak. Happy retirement wishes to E. E. Vargo. His years of devoted service to the William Penn were appreciated by all.

Merry Christmas! Branch 51 Passaic, NJ By Arthur Barillo Branch 51 President On Oct. 22 the Hungarian Re­formed Church of Passaic cele­brated its 100th anniversary with a dinner-dance. Many former ministers of the church were in attendance along with other dignitaries. National Director Anthony C. Beke repre­sented the William Penn Associ­ation and presented the church with a financial donation. National Auditing Committee member Ernest J. Mozer Sr., act­ing on behalf of U.S. Rep.

A wonderful day was had by all present. (For more on the church’s centennial celebration, turn to Page 3.)
