The Slovak Heritage Society of Northeast Pennsylvania, in conjunction with King’s College, is in the final stages of its project honoring the Rev. Jozef Murgas. The room which will contain the archives of Murgas will be located on the first floor of King’s on the Square, the former Ramada Hotel, on Public Square, Wilkes-Barre. The display will show Murgas’ work in art, botany, science and wireless telegraphy. It will include his butterfly collection, original paintings and replicas. The dedication of the room is planned for early June. From left: Dr. Thomas M. Check, who was instrumental in initiating the project, and Magdalen M. Benish, chairman of the project.
