Greetings from Philadelphia! ....

Of the young people we ask: Did you have a Cool Yule and a Frantic First?

We just want to mention that the following named young ladies helped in the serving of food at our December 10th get-together: Mrs. György, Mrs. Noel, Mrs. Szemes, Mrs. Wagner. Everyone is still talking about the pleasant evening enjoyed by all.

The names of the officers for the coming year were to have been listed this month, but it was decided at the December 10th meeting to forego the election of officers until such time as final arrangements are completed with the local Rákóczi branch. Said election was also foregone on January 14th, so that February 11th will probably be the earliest before such an election will take place. In the meantime, the 1955 officers will continue in power.

The January 14th meeting was without moment.

Our bowling team has been inactive due to the holidays, but is bowling again on Friday nights and, although we have two teams bowling now, we would like to see a dozen more. We hear that Steve Szemes has an aching back and has to go easy on his bowling.

We offer our good wishes to those whose first names are John and Stephen. These name days are commemorated by old-time Hungarians on the 27th and 26th of December, respectively. Isten éltessen!

ENGAGEMENT

William Lehuta, son of Mr. William Lehuta and the late Mrs. Lehuta, became engaged to Joan Klug of our Hungarian colony. (Mrs. Lehuta died last August.)

ANNIVERSARY

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Farkas, Virginia and Mt. Vermont Streets, Philadelphia, celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on November 23d in the company of their three children. We wish them many years of happy wedded bliss!

How are your New 'Year’s resolutions coming along?

WEDDING

One of the highlights of the winter social season among the Hungarians will be the wedding of Miss Irene Rosenfeld, charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Rosenfeld, on January 21st in St. Peter’s Chflrch, 5th Street and Girard Avenue, Philadelphia, to Mr. William Karpinsky. Dan is our illustrious recording secretary for branch 76 and lives at 1023 N. Randolph Street.

The young couple became engaged on November 5th, which date also happens to be the birthday of Miss Rosenfeld.

The maid of honor will be Miss Dolores Toth, and the best man, Andrew Rosenfeld, brother of the bride-to-be.

Following their honeymoon in New York, the newlyweds will make their home at 5116 Mebus Street.

Also present at the dinner were all the nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews of Mr. and Mrs. Wagner — including the families of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W.

After the dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner were presented with gifts from the entire family and the Church.

Another month has passed but more important is that another year is history. This year is a milestone mainly because, as 1955 bade farewell, it also took with it my first year as a Verhovay employee.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all in the Home Office for all they’ve done to make my “baptisim of fire” so much easier than it otherwise would have been. The names are too numerous to mention, so this is intended for everyone except the man downstairs who repairs watches. He never drinks unless he is alone or with somebody.

It seems that in 1955 I didn’t do much more than realize my shortcomings, and I take this season of resolutions to make one that I won’t break. I won’t tell you what it is but I can tell you what it isn’t. It isn’t that I’ll stop writing this article for I strongly feel that everyone deserves some sort of punishment, and hanging by the thumbs might be easier than having to read this column. I’m lucky because I don’t have to read it.

The Christmas party was a huge success. We received many compliments. Since_ this was our first attempt, the laurels are much nicer to wear. I should like to hand out a few bouquets to the many people who aided the assurance of its success.

First of all to: Mrs. Doris Stipkovits (for better or for worse), who put up with more growling than you hear in the Highland Park Zoo at lunch time for the beasts.

To: Mr. and Mrs. Julius Lenait, who assisted greatly in the preparations.

To: Father Raymond Novak (a true fraternalist), who donated the use of St. Stephen’s Hall.

To: McKeesport Boys Town, who donated their sound projector and screen.

To: Santa Claus, who will receive

In furtherance of their Sunday celebration, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner held open house on November 14th when neighbors and friends offered additonal congratulations.

We are now looking forward with great pleasure to the 75th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Wagner, and all the officers and members wish them- the best of luck in everything.

In this connection, we might mention two other wedding anniversaries: Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Geney, who celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary on November 11th, and Mr. and Mrs. John Peters, who celebrated their 37th wedding anniversaries on November 14th. Mrs. Geney and Mrs. Peters received giant orchids on these memorable occasions.

We reluctantly come to the end of our little chat for this month.

Let’s resolve to be more proud of the WILLIAM PENN FRATERNAL ASSOCIATION in 1956, to broadcast its many benefits, and to avail ourselves of its _pew types of insurance coverage.

Isten velük!

Fraternally,

L. LOUIS HORVATH 8 N. 21st Street Philadelphia 3, Pa.

a crate of iceburg lettuce instead . of a bouquet.

And most of all, a big “Thank you” to all the parents who brought their future little presidents and first ladies. After all, it was really they who made the party what it was.

In closing, I should like to make our monthly bowling report. A gentleman approached me (he looked like a rival branch spy) after last month’s bowling news and insisted we publish our league scores. I thought it over and decided that maybe he’s right. The following is the result, with the permission of our censor: Last week, the league rolled 5,611 pins, and, since we began, our total is 57,258 pins. This may not impress our rivals, but you must remember that this is more pins than you thought.

P.S. This could happen to Y-O-U.------------■-« 5 £ **-----------Illness Fatal to Branch 278 Member
