The value of a maxim depends

the subject to which it relates; the

ure in being in the United
States is Mrs. Kuchera's deep
regret that her daughter, Mary.
IA, was not allowed to come
here with her. Mary had all
inc necessary papers which
would permit her to leave
Hungary but could not be per-
mltted to this country because
of immigration laws. The Ku-
cheras have been told, how
ever, that if an American citi-
zen will accept responsibility
Tor Mary, she can come to the
United States, and this Mike
Kuchera has agreed to do, SO
Mrs. Kuchera has hopes Of
seeing her daughter again be-
fore long.
On the table at her first
Sunday dinner in the Mike
Kuchera home, Mrs. Kuchera
says there was more food than
she has ever seen in her life
before. 1t was just an ordinary
Sunday dinner to him. Mike
says. Both food and clothing
are extremely hard TO get IN
Hungary, though more cloth
ing is becoming available The
prices, however. are so hioh
that no ordinary person can
feed and clothe a family ade-
quately. Wages in the Etes
mines are about 81 a day Am
erican money for an eight
hour shift.
About half the homes in
Etes have electricity, according
to Mrs. Kuchera. and only
business places have tele-
phones. The electrical equip
ment in the average American
home seems almost miraculous
to her. She had never before
seen an electric washing ma
chine or mangle, or listened to
a radio-phonograph. Electric

England Speaks on
Peace at BPW
Banquet Tuesday,

The annual banquet of the
Business and Professional Wo-
mems club was held Tuesday
at the Methodist church.
Mrs. E. w. Riebeth presided
at the dinner The collect was
given in unison by the assemb-
ly. Group singing followed, di-
rected by Miss Ethel Schuster.
Following the dinner vocal
numbers were presented by a
trio composed of Mary Agnes
Zelka, Mary Francis Gable and
Mary Ann Koebbe.
The Rev. Richard N. Eng
land gave the address of the
evening on the subject Peace
is Our Businesses. He said that
by "our" he referred to the
citizens of the United States,
who, by exercising their rights
of freedom of speech and press
as well as their right to vote
can make sure that their gov
eminent acts according to their
beliefs as far as peace is con-
cerned. He emphasized that it
is the duty of American citi-
zens to know what is going on
in the world so that they can
bring an intelligent pressure on
their government. He pointed
out that the United States is
historically the most peace
loving of the great powers, and
that, SINCE we are now the
strongest of those powers, it is
logical that we become the
guardians of world peace. Mr..
England quoted Whist on
Churchhill, who has recently
said that it is fortunate for
the world that the atomic
bomb is in the custody of the
United States.
The table decorations, in
charge of Verna Mae Salve,son,
were in keeping with the
Peace" theme. Miss Eileen
Burgess and Mrs. Riebeth made
the place cards, which were
decorated with the dove of
peace carrying the olive branch.

Mrs Mary Kuchera Finds America
Wonderful Contrast to Hddships
Suffered in Her Hungarian Home

She doesn't speak a word of
English, but she thinks Ameri-
ca is wonderful, does Mrs. Mary
Kuchera, who arrived last Fri
day in Hardin from Etes, Hun
gary.
Mrs. Kuchera left her Hun
garian home on March 10, af-
ter she received word of the
death of her husband, Mike

papers in order and make ar

ney.
Etes, a mining town of about
5000 is near Budapest. It was
il the Hungarian capital thai
Mrs. Kuchera boarded a plane
which took her to Sweden.
There she embarked on the
GripSholm, which sailed from
Gothenburg and docked in New
York City on April 7.
Mrs. Kuchera completed her
journey to Hardin by train.
Not the least of her difficult
ties was her inability to speak
or understand a single word of
English. In Etes, there is only
one man who reads and speaks
English, and he translates all
the letters from America that
come to the town. She was I'M
able to get food on the train
trip because no one could I'm
derstand her, she told her
stepson, Mike Kuchera, Jr..
who translated her story for
her.
Just the same, she would
much rather travel on Ameri-
can trains, she says. In her

only hard wooden benches, no
doors or windows and are in
describably dirty.

orable to the proposition were

Cook, local American Legion
