July 18, 1962. PAGE 7 William Penn DEATH TAKES MRS. JOSEPH TOMA I JACOB TORDA | A well-known Hungarian old-timer and veteran member of the Associa­tion, Jacob Torda, died in Cleveland, Ohio last month. Faithful and Illustrious Member of Branch 14 that he was, Mr. Torda attended the regular meeting of the branch on Sunday, May 6, visited his ailing wife at the hospital, and re­turned home. His children found him dead at home Monday morning. The deceased is survived by his wife, the former Margaret Egyedi, and six children, Helen, Jacob, Louis, Joseph, Edward, and Bela. He was born June 27, 1874 in Pe­­rény, County of Abauj-Torna, Hun­gary ,and immigrated at an early age to this country. In May 1911 he joined the former Verhovay Aid Association. Through­out the years he was active in the affairs of the society, both locally and nationally. For years he was president of Cleveland Branch 102, he was Convention delegate, Member of the Auditing Committee, was awarded the Illustrious Citation and the Gold Medal, and last year re­ceived the 50-Year Member Emblem. Jacob Torda belonged to that fast dwindling remnant of Hungarian Americans who put their hearts into the dissemination and preservation of Hungarian ideals, culture and fra­ternal activities in our great Amer­ica. His departure is another loss to a noble cause. We express our heartfelt sympa­thies to the widow and children of a man who gave much of himself for his beloved Branch 14 and William Penn Fraternal Association. Announcement Leslie Konnyu’s A HISTORY OF AMERICAN-HUNGARIAN LITE­RATURE, presentation of American Hungarian authors of the last 100 years and selections from their writ­ings, will be published in the near future. Many Americans do not re­alize the extensive influence of Hun­garian culture in America. This cul­ture had its beginnings more than a century ago and is still being felt in the postwar immigration of Hunga­rians to the United States. Such fi­gures as Joseph Pulitzer, Joseph Re­ményi, Ferenc Molnár and Lajos Zi­­lahy, etc. have had a major impact on American literature. This unique reference book, containing many sur­prising facts about the American Hungarian contribution to the spiri­tual development of America, will en­lighten all readers. The pre-publica­tion price, paperback copy at $2.00 bound edition at $3.00. Payment must accompany all orders except in the case of libraries, which may send their official order blank. After pub­lication the price will be, paperback $3.00 and bound editions $4.00. Readers wishing to place their or­ders while the pre-publication prices are still in effect may do so by send­ing their check or money orders im­mediately to: LESLIE KÖNNYŰ 7421 Rupert Avenue St. Louis 17, Missouri It is estimated there are over ten million persons in this country with arthritis and rheumatism. The highest temperature recorded under standard conditions was 136 degrees Fahrenheit observed at Azizia, Tripolitania, Northern Africa on September 13, 1922. Sorrow recently came to New York Regional Manager Joseph Toma when sudden illness took away his wife. On Friday, June 15, Mrs. To­ma complained of feeling very sick. She was rushed to the hospital and died there three days later on Monday evening. Only days earlier Mrs. Toma attended the summer outing of Branch 48 and enjoyed herself at the affair, for she was an active member who was truly interested in the fraternal life and social events of her branch. Personally she was good-natured and kind, pos­it’s vacation time and I hope every­one is enjoying the summer. We haven’t had a chance to get away for a few days. Gwyn, my youngest, was rushed to the hospital for an emer­gency appendectomy but is home and recuperating nicely. However, there goes our Detroit Bob-Lo Island Out­ing we were planning. — 129 — I attended the Tuesday night euchre party last week. The response has been tremendous. Thanks to you members for patronizing your club. Those who haven’t been down, please take a night out, visit your club and enjoy the homey atmosphere and good food. Frank and Ann Papai are always there to welcome you. Also, thanks go to the members of the Ladies’ Club who work on the euchre parties. — Emma Bolar, Harriet Bur­ton and Sally Hubbard are there almost every Tuesday night, and their efforts are appreciated. — 129 — I -saw Irene and Jim Voss at the club and Irene informed me that her sister, Margaret Mészáros, had left for Vienna, Austria to spend her va­cation. She should have many inter­esting things to tell when she re­turns. The Carl Hoffman family is vacationing in northern Michigan. Carl will probably have a lot of “fish stories” to tell when he returns. — 129 — Thanks to Louis Fodor of Branch 349, Weirton, West Virginia, for sending me a picture of our bowling tournament committee. I enjoyed meeting and talking with Mr. and Mrs. Fodor and I certainly appreciate the picture. Thanks again, and I hope During recent years many new materials have been utilized in boat construction, one of the major ob­jectives being the decreasing of boat weights. While average length and beam have probably increased in re­cent trends, there is a grave question as to whether the safety factor has been bettered, and there are ample grounds for the contention that in­creased carry capacity has resulted in increased hazards to more people with resulting decrease in overall safety. At any rate, safe operational practices are still a major requisite to which every boat owner and oper­sessing that very admirable trait of desiring to see others happy and rejoicing in their happiness. The deceased was laid out in the Eastmore Funeral Home, New York City, and services were held on Thursday with the Rev. Leopold Mészáros, O.F.M., officiating. On Friday the remains were taken to Martins Creek, Pennsylvania, to be interred beside Mrs. To­ma’s father in Churchill Ce­metery. We express our sincere con­dolences to Mr. Toma in his bereavement. we can all meet in New York next year. LOUS SAYS: “Check your Insurance — Is your coverage O.K.? If not call Lou — and do it today.” If you do not have ample coverage — If you want to add to your present policy — If you want a policy at low minimum monthly payments, or if you need hospitalization — then call Lou Tokár today: HI 4-2760, or HI 3- 7797, and have him call at your home to explain the various WILLIAM PENN POLICIES he can offer you.

Mr. Meilitz is an active mem­ber of Branch 1, Bridgeport, Connecticut. Your Health From the Medical Society of the State of Pennsyl­vania and the Allegheny County Medical Society What are the psychiatric aspects of motor vehicle accidents? Many traffic courts throughout the country have violaters’ schools where accident-prone drivers are given training in proper driving. Other courts have psychiatric clinics where driver behavior is evaluated. Among drivers, there are many who are aggressive, antisocial or emotionally unstable. When a driver’s attitude is hostile, resentful or retaliatory, he often projects these feelings against other drivers, unconsciously causing an ac­cident. The driver who is able to control these feelings, or discharge them in other ways, can save himself and others from accidental injury. Studies of drivers with records of frequent accidents often show the need for correction in personality. Some drivers are aggressively in­tolerant toward authority and have been since early childhood. Others show antisocial behavior, unbalanced impulsiveness, immatur­ity, false bravery, lack of concern for others, and inclination to be their own boss at any cost. Of 812 offenders studied at a psychiatric clinic conducted in one traffic court, 244 were judged to be feebleminded, borderline or with in­ferior intelligence. Emotional instability was found in 101, 18 had compulsive disorders, and 7 were in a state of senile de­terioration. Following a psychiatric evaluation made by the clinic, these sick drivers have been given medical, psychiatric or driver-ttraining treatment. Failure to respond has resulted in permanent suspension of the license to drive. An automobile can be as much a weapon as a gun or club. Many persons do not take a law seriously unless there is evidence of enforcement. If reckless drivers realize they can’t win, their behavior may be im­proved, so as to assure the proba­bility of safety for themselves and Others on the highway. a ! “BY-LINE FROM 129” EVELYN BOUCHER — Branch 129 s— Secretary-Correspondent I Happy Boating Means Safe Boating
