wvm’ PAGE 6 MARCH 27, 1937 ern horizon blackened with 200,000 Russian advance troops. Events turned in­to a mournful result. The Hom ed troops were greatly outnumbered by the com­bined enemy who hemmed (the Honveds at many van­tage points. The cause was lost. Exiled from his motherland, Kossuth en­­(thru-sted the reigns of the 'government to General Aur­­[thur Görgey who had fore­seen that further sanguinary battles against the combined forces of the' Austrians and [Russians would prove in fyaih for the Hungarian army iTo give further battle would bring greater misgivings, in­tense agony and severe hard­ships upon Hungary and (therefore, Görgey surrend­ered at Világos to a Russian general. The Hungarian nation had to regain its lost Strength and Görgey had prevented further unneces­sary bloodshed. But it was & heart rending scene — this Surrender at Világos — staff (officers rode sadly, the hus­sars, with their hands grasp­ing the slackened rein, drop­ped many a tear upon the [mane which had been scath­ed in the fire of battle. ; In honor of those Jieroes, !we pay our everlasting tri­bute to them. They sacri­ficed everything for the Hungarian cause. But, emerging from this 'ill-fated struggle for liberty, an even greater catastrophe befell Hungary. After the «World War, Hungary bled again. Deep and agonizing are the wounds inflicted up­­ion her. It was a piece of paper, the so-called Treaty ;of Trianon. By this un­scrupulous treaty — 14,000. POO Hungarians are subject­­led to the yoke of foreign in­­tvaders: 232,000 square kilo­meters is taken away and 'distributed among the rab­ble. . Out of a 21.000.000 pre-war population. Hun­gary lost 64 per cent — 64 put of every 100: out of 325, POO square kilometers of [area, 72 per cent of this land fwas bartered away. This 5s a humiliating loss to which live can never submit. It is .dangerous to the peace of (Europe. Until a revision of (the so-called Trianon Treaty j e' äs made, grave dangers be-1 lset the path to peace. The land of our fathers is crying lout to this injustice inflicted Upon her. And to whom do we instantly turn to carry ton the traditions? Certain­ly it is the youth — the Hun­garian youth. Some people say that >nuch has been spoken and (written concerning the dut­ies of youth and that quite [a lew« of those involved are [apt to dismiss their tradi­­[tions from their thoughts. ITo do so reconciliation with (that individual is uncertain, mié youth — our theme is an old theme; by it the na­tion survives and designates [to posteritj- that encourage­­[ment which has always been, and always is to be. the ulti­ac-That Paul Valint likes tiölt pictures books.

American citizens, civic minded and respectful of the law.- They must be con­gratulated upon preserving the traditions of their mother-country, of which traditions they can be proud. The beautiful Verhovav Home on Buckeye Road is a sample of their vision in­to the future and an achieve­ment of which every Cleve­land-citizen must be proud. Fraternal organizations, like the Verhovav,% are c<mtrilmt­­ing factors in the steady growth of Cleveland, and Í, as the Mayor of Cleveland, not only consider it my duty, but deem it a privilege to be­come a member of such an organization as the Verho­­vay. May the City of Cleve­land and the Verhovav Fra­ternal Insurance Associa­tion prosper together for the mutual benefit of ail the citi­zens of the City of Cleve­land.” BRANCH 383 BUFFALO, N. Y. The meeting of Branch 383 was opened by Branch President Stephen Kalman with the reading of the min­utes of the last meeting. It was with regret that the members heard the Letter of resignation of Secretary Rafe, read by Mr. Kalman. Mr. Rafe has been the Secretary of Branch 383 for a number of years, however, he was forced to resign be­cause af his new position which takes up too much of his time. Rather than con­tinue "holding his position of Branch Secretary and not be able to devote sufficient time to it, he has handed in his resignation. The mem­bers hereby, extend their sin­cere thanks to him for the faithful performance of his duties and the efforts he has expended in behalf of the Branch and hope that the one elected to the position of Secretary, will be as hard working and as efficient as past Secretary Rafe was. The President of Branch 121 requested the writer of this column to inform the members through this med­ium that their Branch will hold an after Lent dance on April 10th. The Workmens Orchestra will be featured. Here is hoping it is a suc­cess. It is also urgently request­ed that every member in good standing at the Branch, attend the next meeting to be held on April 13, 1937. Please he present, the nom- I ination and election of Branch Secretary will take place, to fill the position va­cated by Mr. Rafe. After this meeting an “After Elec­tion and Installation of Offi­cers” party will be held and a good time will be assured to everyone present. THIS AND THAT Frank Molnár is high hat since he has an heir. — How did you do it Frank? I Joseph Taylor is putting hack that bay window. Hon. HAROLD H. BURTON Mayor of the City of Cleveland, O. one of our newest members CLEVELAND’S FIRST CITIZEN JOINS VER­­HOVAY The year 1936. Yerho­­vay’s golden jubilee year, was one during which many prominent men and women, well recognized in the pro­fessions. arts, sciences and public services, were added j to the membership roll of I the Association. It seems that Cleveland, the cosmo­politan city, has merited the highest honors in securing such eminent persons as members. It may not be amiss to mention that Cleve­land Yerhovayites. two thousand strong, are proud of this fact. With 1 9 3 7. Verhovav marches on. To this list. Cleveland Verhovav mem­bers have welcomed and are happy to anoupoe an addi­tion in the person of the Honorable Harold IT Bur­ton, Mayor of the ( itv of Cleveland. All credit for Mayor Burton joining the Association goes to Mr. August A. Bessemer. presi­dent of the 33rd \ erhovay District and one of last year’s contest winners. Hav­ing secured an audience with Mayor Burton. Mr. Bessenyei- familiarized the Mayor with the historical background of the Associa­tion, its ideals and purposes. Due to the fact that the Mayor and his wife, a wit­­man of charming personal­ity have attended many so­cial and cultural affairs at the Verhovav Home on Buckeye Road, it was un­necessary to dwell on the Association’s activities. Mayor Burton told Mr. Bessenyey, “The Hungar­ians of Cleveland have play­ed a vital part in the grow th of the city. They are good SALES PUNCHES “Never lose sight of the fact that a person’s respons­ibility lives, even tough he doesn’t and that it is through life insurance that the man in modest circumstances can make his deeds live. Life insurance is the one safe and certain medium of replacing human financial values.” ‘ —Colorado Nationalizes
