Other Hungarian Windows at University of Pittsburgh

In our October English William Penn issue we announced that on the 23th of the same month five stained glass windows, depicting scenes and personages from Hungarian history, would be dedicated in the Hungarian Room of the University of Pittsburgh to embellish further perhaps the most beautiful Nationality Room of that famous educational institution.

In the October issue we published reproductions of these three of the five windows: Nimrod and his sons Hunor and Magor, King Matthias, Francis Rákóczi II. These are windows one, three and four. 1JB>)

Here are the other two windows with their stories:

WINDOW II WINDOW V

The second stained window illustrates the forefather of the Árpád dynasty, ÁRPÁD, who was elected leader by the other tribal leaders, sealing the covenant with their own blood; and Kings Saint Stephen, Béla IV, Andrew II.

Francis Liszt, pianist and composer, Alexander Petőfi, patriot and lyric poet, Michael Munkácsy, painter, are examples of Hungarian genius. Their works have added much to the storehouse of universal Culture.

Importance of December Branch Meeting Demands Sizeable Attendance

The branch is the essence of our William Penn Fraternal: Association: the monthly meeting is the core of all branch activity.

Normally, a branch holds twelve regular meetings on a monthly basis every year, although some branches meet regularly fewer times than that and other branches call together extraordinary sessions in addition to their regular meetings.

The bylaws of our Association make the month of December the most important meeting time for our branches. Our bylaws state that the election of branch officers “shall take place at the December meeting . . .” They also order that the names of the newly elected officers be forwarded to the Home Office, in addition to a summary of the final accounts and property inventories.

The aforegoing paragraph makes it easy to understand why December is the most important branch meeting month, why the members owe it to their respective branches and to their Association to attend the December meeting in numbers at or near 100%.

It takes a required number of members to vote at a branch meeting, but it takes a large number of members in attendance to select among several candidates the best for office. The more members at the December meeting, the more democratic the process of suitable selection.

The bylaws make it mandatory that every branch have a president, controller and auditing committee who are voted in by the branch members, and a manager who is appointed by the Home Office with the approval of the Board of Directors. The branch has the option of installing other officers “it may deem necessary or useful to the successful operation of the branch.”

At the December meeting every member in arrears should, make it a point to bring his payments up to date, and of course payments made on loans at this time reduce the interest to be calculated the following month.

As 1956 approaches its close, it would be a good idea for branches of smaller size, in the same town or near each other in an area, to consider seriously their merger, when, of course, this would be of benefit to the Association and to the merging branches. Merged branches become larger branches and larger, branches grow stronger bv virtue of their ability to recruit more members. There is added incentive for the branch manager when he has a large branch because his earning power is greater. He becomes the salesman as well as the collector. It follows that his success is measured largely by the training which he receives in field work. The December meeting is an excellent opportunity to discuss merger.

However extensive the agenda of the December meeting may be, the most important single aspect of this branch function is for the members to show up in FULL FORCE. The December meeting is the shape of things to ccme for the branch the next year. *\

MEMBERS OF THE WILLIAM PENN FRATERNAL ASSOCIATION: REMEMBER TO ATTEND YOUR DECEMBER ERANCH MEETING!

QUIET WONDERS

A new book, just published by the Expert Printing Co. in Pittsburgh, is “Quiet Wonders”, by Antónia Juhász Harangi. The foreword of this book is written by the famous writer, Mária Szabó Szentmihályi. In describing her acquaintance with the author, she says:

"... I saw Antónia Juhász Harangi first in Sárospatak, when many years ago I was doing research on my book, “Zsuzsanna Lorántffy”... She ponders the events of the life of today with a trained mind and a skilled hand; for

when she puts her thoughts into words, they almost become as poetry__

I.ater this young couple started a new life in the New World. I followed her progress through her letters and her magazine articles sent to the mothers and to us. This is how I knew that her thoughts were penetrating deeper and deeper. Her stories, long or short, and about child psychology, are meaningful — all have the theme of Christian ideas and truth.”

I have experienced some of the same feelings after having known the author and reading her book, “Quiet Wonders.” The title most aptly describes those moments she sometimes experienced in the evenings when she could sib and ponder the greatness of God, the quietness of His Hand, the beauty of His world — all those things which leave one awed have in a way been setf to words by Mrs. Harangi in this lovely book.

With the book in my hand, I feel it my duty to tell everyone about it. It seems unbelieveable to me that we could pass up this book, especially with the Christmas Season so near, because its message will make our Christmas a richer and a fuller one. Or, if you are of the second or third generation, this will make an ideal surprise gift for your Hungarian relatives.

To order the book, enclose $1.00 and send to Mrs. László Harangi, 221 Johnston Ave., Pittsburgh 7, Pa.
