December 17, 1958 William Penn PAGE 7 É a a s E a a WILLIAM PENN WATCHTOWER By JOSEPH J. HORVATH - Cleveland, Ohio A merry Christmas and a happy New Year is my wish to each and every fellow William Penn member. Good health, happiness and pros­perity! Yours truly is putting together this column on Thanksgiving Day and the weather is cold with snow. I am happy t-c report the reelec­tion of the following: Joseph J. Hor­vath and Frank R. Pokorny, state representatives; Julius J. Petrash, state senator; Emil J. Masgay, county clerk; John J. Carney, county auditor; Charles A. Vanik, congress­man 21st Ohio Congressional Dis­trict; Michael A. Feighan, congress­man 20th Ohio Congressional Dis­trict; Michael V. DiSalle, governor of Ohio. Now I express my deep apprecia­tion and thanks to all who supported my reelection. I will try to fulfill your trust to the best of my ability. WELCOME! 1959 William Penn National Bowling Tournament and Fellowship Days to Cleveland, Ohio. Your fellow members here are de­termined to make your visit a memorable one. Some high lights of this great city will be publicized in the future issues of our official pu­blication. However, at this point may I bring out a few facts of interest: The selection of Hotel Cleveland as - íot— Fellowship Days was a very wise one indeed, considering its central loca­tion, convenience, service, large din­ing facilities, etc. The traveler arriv­ing by rail, be it Erie, New York Central, Nickel Plate or Baltimore and Ohio, steps into a spacious sta­tion and, without going out of the building, may enter headquarters Hotel Cleveland to register. As for the automobilist, there is plenty of parking in and near the station and the hotel. Transportation can be had to any part of the city from the square, or from Ontarion and Pros­pect located one block east of the square. The women will find that shopping in the Cleveland department stores is a pleasant task. Halle Bro­thers and William Taylor department stores provide free bus service to their stores, which are on Euclid Avenue. Higbe, Mays, Bailey, to name a few, are just around the corner from the station. A nice walk up Euclid Avenue to about East 18th Street will be a revelation to the out of town visitor and shopper. Turn around and walk back on Superior to East 9th Street, look north and you will see Lake Erie, and at the foot of 9th, to the west is the stadium, and east the Coast Guard and Naval Barracks, and east of that the down­town airport and Memorial Shoreway along its side. Rapid transit is pro­vided by the City Transit System and the Shaker Heights Rapid, both east and west on the City Transit and south and east on Shaker (no transfer privileges). Branch 361-V’s card party was well attended. Many door prizes added to the enjoyment of the affair. The Sports Club meeting was lively. A “hot dog’’ feast terminated the meeting and refreshments were served in lieu of coffee. The coffee urn is rusting away. I suggest that we get rid of it. The 10th anniversary dinner for the Sports Club members will be held in January. Mrs. Ann Pinter will make all arrangements. New Year’s Eve is traditionally celebrated on Buckeye Road, East Side and on Lorain Avenue, West Side. The stranger who may be in Cleveland that night should begin his “tour” at the William Penn Hall, St. John’s Hall, Bethlen Hall, Kos-Haft.-Ses­ka Rabb’s Gypsy Cellar, St. Stephen Hall, Young Men and Women’s Hall, Business and Tradesmen’s Hall. All tavern keepers in and near Buckeye will have open house. On the West Side the starting point is West 25th and Lorain to about West 65th Street, and between these points are Hun­garian taverns, halls, restaurants, etc. There will be much to do — and much to see if you keep old John Barleycorn in check! National Auditor John Sabo was in Cleveland November 23d. He was the guest of Dr. Andrew Kovács, Direc­tor, who took Mr. Sabo to the Branch 45-V card party, to the Szabolcs Megye card party where the Na­tional Auditor was promptly made a member of that organization. Dr. Kovács won three or four door prizes. A1 Gamin, member of Branch 14-V, is having a new bowling alley built on Route 21 and 17, about 15 minutes from downtown Cleveland. There will be 48 lanes which will be ready about SO YOU WANT MORE You can’t just wave a magic wand, Or buy a gold-egged goose, To get the things' of which you’re fond You simply must produce. You can’t depend on grant and gift, Of money, milk or juice, To give our way of life a lift You simply must produce. No government can pave your road With handouts free and loose, Each one of us must share the load, So pitch in — and produce. You can’t sit back and curse your lot, Or say, “Oh, what’s the use?” Be thankful for the things you’ve got, Do you want more? — Produce! —Author Unknown the first of March. Of course every­thing will be up-to-date, including a bar and restaurant, with plenty of parking. Another buyer is Paul Bolesic who has acquired a beer and wine tavern on the corner of Holton and Alpine. Much success to him. We wonder about the soccer team we saw dressing up in the basement of the hall. They appeared to be a group of young fellows from the Freedom Fighter’s ranks. The Russell Printing Company, re­cently opened, is located at 11917 Buckeye Road. The firm does com­plete letterpress and offset lithogra­phy work. William A. Russell is the head. There is a possibility of a merger with the Cleveland Young Men and Women’s Society. This organization has a nice building on upper Buck­eye and the neighborhood is of the best. Also, there are other buildings empty — the old W. O. W. Hall, the Ford Motor Company Building with plenty of parking. Edward Sepessy, assistant attorney general, will take a six week tour of Europe, including Spain where he plans to see a bull fight — Joseph iSemetko and Dr. Andrew Kovács, Director, seemed to be in a huddle over something one Sunday afternoon last month in the club rooms — Frank Szabó, Democratic politico, beats his opponents at least 20 to 1 every election — We predict that the present councilwoman of the 29th ward will serve out her term — Er­nest Beres, lawyer, may become an assistant attorney general under new attorney general Mark McElroy. We feel that Ernest has excellent quali­fications for the post — We should like to see Andrew Dono become personnel director for Division 12 of the Highway Department (Ohio) •— Barber Joseph Szalma wiil give calendars to his clientele during the Christmas Season. Two house flies were talking about how strange people are. Said one: ‘Here they spent so much building and painting this lovely ceiling and then they go around walking on the floor!” I would appreciate it very much if someone with more talent than I command would help out by writing a column from Cleveland. I hate to give up my literary efforts on behalf of our Cleveland membership, but this writing is beginning to take up too much of my time. I often wonder whether I am doing the right thing?

HORVATH c/o William Penn Home 8637 Buckeye Road Cleveland 4, Ohio MOTOR CITY NEWS BRANCH 18-V — DETROIT, MICHIGAN (Formerly Branches 36-V and 443-V) By Jolán Lana» MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! Despite the fact that the WIL­LIAM PENN deadline is so early in­­the month of December, the genial spirit of Christmas is already throb­bing in the air around us. On Sunday, December 7th, the an­nual Children’s Christmas Party was held. Details of this event will be in the January issue. Again on Sunday, December 14th, the annual end-of-the-year meeting and elections will be held. With more than 4500 members to choose from, it will be a difficult chore to select well — equipped and effecient branch officers. Details of the elec­tions will also be in the January issue. A testimonial banquet to mark the retirement of District Manager Ste­phen Lukacs as of December 31, 1958 will be held shortly after the first of the year. Details are being worked out by the following banquet committee: Steve Danko, Géza Ma­darász, Steve Csabi, Mrs. Katalin Demeter, Julia Danko and Elvira László. A first meeting has already been held, but details are still hazy. A card party held after the No­vember branch meeting for the be­nefit of the Children’s Christmas Party was successfully concluded. Do­nations of cake and prizes were by the following: Mrs. Martin Marton, Mrs. Elsie Saytos, Mrs. John Denes, Elvira László and her mother Mrs. Theresa László, Mrs. Stephen Danko, Mrs. Gáspár Papp, Jolán Lucas, and some prizes donated by the Sports and Social Club. It was definitely decided that prizes for these affairs would be purchased in the future, just as soon as both the Junior Club and the Sports and Social Club have accumulated some funds. Steve Kekes, captain of the branch­­sponsored team, made his report re­garding the King Louie bowling shirts purchased from Vice-President Julius Macker through his sports shop in Wyandotte. On a cold and miserably rainy day, the Fraternal Home Committee took the trouble to look at a site which might be suitable for the branch. More details about these house-hunt­ing trips as decisions are made. The Committee members who made the trip were Steve Csabi, branch pre­sident Martin Marton, Jesse Somer­­gary, and your Ferret, who developed a touch of flu after the long inspec­tion in the- ice-cold building. I met an interesting member, orig­inally from Branch 14-V in Cleve­land, Ohio who now belongs to Branch 18-V. He is Elek A. Szabó, an accredited member of AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists), who has acted be­fore Detroit TV fans in such well­­liked programs as “UP FOR AP­PEAL,” “NIGHT COURT,” “TRAF­FIC COURT,” and has acted at Hud­son’s Northland Playhouse. He has managed dance groups. His original profession was comedy dancer. It would be a pleasure to have Mr. Sza­bó perform at one of our social events. District Manager Stephen Lukacs served in the capacity of toastmaster at the Golden Wedding Anniversary of members Mr. and Mrs. Michael Káposztás, of Lincoln Park, on No­vember 8, 1958. More details of this beautiful event will be found else­where in this issue, including a pic­ture of the happy couple. We extend our sincere congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Michael Káposztás and hope to meet them in the near future! * * * Space is short, time is crowded with Christmas and holiday prepara­tions, so we leave. I hope you all will enjoy the greatest Christmas season of your lives, and may you be happy and contented in 1959! Your old FERRET, 12996 Rosedale Avenue Wyandotte, Michigan (Southgate) AVenue 3-0905.
