PAGE 2 érn horizon blackened with 200)000 Russian advance troops. Events turned in­to a mournful result. The Honved droops 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-, thrii'ted. the,.reigns of...the government to General Aur­­thur Görgey who had fore­seen that further sanguinary battles against the combined forces of the Austrians and Russians would prove in vain for the Hungarian army To 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 a 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 heroes, we pay our everlasting tri­bute io 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 tire the wounds inflicted up­on her. It was a piece of paper, the so-called Treaty Of Trianon. By this un­scrupulous treaty — 14,000, 000 Hungarians are subject­ed to the yoke of foreign in­vaders ; 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 out of every 100; out of 325, 000 square kilometers of area, 72 per cent of this land was bartered away. This: is a humiliating loss to which we can never submit. It is dangerous to the peace of Europe. Until a revision of the so-called Trianon Treaty is made, grave dangers be­set the path to peace. The land of our fathers is crying but to this injustice inflicted upon her. And to whom do we instantly turn to carry bn the traditions? Certain­ly it is the youth — the Hun­garian youth. 1 Some people say that much has been spoken and written concerning the dut­ies of youth and that quite a few of those involved are apt to dismiss their tradi­tions from their thoughts. To do so reconciliation with that individual is uncertain. The youth — our theme is an old theme; by it the na­tion survives and designates to posterity that encourage­ment which has always been, and always is to be, the ulti-VfrhovayQkJgpja mate goal of each genera­tion. The work of our pa­triots gone-by; and, the work of our superb lyric poet, youthful Petőfi, is a potent influence and an in­­spriation for our furthering the cause of Hungary. Our brave patriots have gone, hut their memory sur­vives with us —- the youth to per pvt u ate that tradition. Our patriots ; our Honveds— their memory conies to us; their hands are waiting to clasp yours as of old, and their lips to ask what Á the duty which they left to the Hungarian youth — what has been accomplished? Have the one thousand year-old Hungarian lands been brought back, been re­stored? We cannot be re­miss to our duty for we owe a task to our posterity and to humanity in general. And the words, my com­patriots, that I should like to leave with ‘you, ringing in your ears and in your true Hungarian hearts, are “Do not forsake the land of your forefathers. Remember the Trianon, and let your souls know no rest until your brethren under foreign inva­sion are united with the motherland.” BRANCH 366 CLEVELAND, O. Minutes of our meeting of March 1, 1937.

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 to the membership roll of tlie 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 Verhovayites, two thousand strong, are proud of this fact. With 1 93 7,. Verhováy marches on. To this list, Cleveland Verhovay mem­bers have welcomed and are happy to anounce an addi­tion in the person of the Honorable Harold H. Bur­ton, Mayor of the City of Cleveland. All credit for Mayor Burton joining the Association goes to Mr. August A. Bessenyey, presi­dent of the 33rd Verhovay District and one of last year’s contest winners. Hav­ing secured an audience with Mayor Burton, Mr. Bessenyey 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 wn­­man of charming personal­ity have attended many so­cial and cultural affairs at the Verhovay Home on Buckeye Road, it was un­necessary to dwell on the Association’s activities. Mayor Burton told Mr. Bessenyey, “Thé Hungar­ians of Cleveland have play­ed a vital part in the growth 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 Nationalizer. 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 Verhovay. 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 Verhovay, are contribut­­mg tactors 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 Verhovay Fra­ternal Insurance Associa­tion prosper together for the mutual benefit of all the citi­zens of the City of Cleve- Iand.Y 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 pf 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 lie­­cause of 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 be present, the nom­ination 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.
