The Hungarian Library The Benjamin Franklin Bibliophile Society was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1935 and duly incorporated by an act of the State Legislature. Its statutory purpose is the promotion of international good will through the reading and understanding of the best works in the literatures of Central and Eastern Europe. The Hungarian Library is its first venture. ( These classics of Hungarian Literature rendered into magnificent English, have been proof-checked for absolute accuracy and supplemented by full and authoritative notes. They represent a definite, artistic, and inexpensive edition of the masterpieces of Hungarian poetry and prose. The authenticity and high quality of the edition háve been designed to meet the needs of libraries and schools throughout the world, while the cost has been kept within, the reach of all who enjoy the best in prose and poetry. In order that its published translations may be not only brilliant in literary quality but also absolutely authentic in scholarship, the Society has secured the collaboration of outstanding authorities in universities and learned soceties- of the European countries concerned, for a line-byline consultation with the translator over his final draft. In launching its Hungarian Library, the Society hopes that the interest of the public will justify not only the extensive development of this series, but the issue as well of similar libraries from the literatures of other Central and Eastern European countries. The translator of these volumes is Watson Kirkconnell, probably the most eminent translator of verse on the North American continent and among the most distinguished men of letter in the world today posessing as a great.Danish scholar has said of him, “Linguistic gifts granted only to a very few people, besides being a poet by the Grace of God.” The collaborators, Dr. Géza Voinovich who contributes a Foreword to the Society’s Edition of the ''Death of King Buda” is Secretary General of the Hungarian Academy arid his country’s leading authority on the poet Arany. Dr, Árpád Bérezik, member of the faculty of the University Of Budapest, Dr. Elemér Császár, professor of Hungarian literature in the University of Budapest, Dr. László Vajtho, professor of contemporary literature at the University of Debrecen and Mr. Joseph Szentkirályi. — Valuable assitance has also been contributed by Lulu Putnik Payerle, the Hungarian Canadian musician of Winnipeg-The first series, “The Death of King Buda” by Arany János. “Slaves of Love” by Jókai Mór. “Magyar Muse”, Watson Kirkconnell. '‘Ferenc Liszt” unnamed author. “History of Hungary”, Gyula Szekfii. The first book published, the great epic poem, “The Death of King Buda”, is a work of moving drama and beauty.

VfrhmyakJgpja— WHAT CUBBING IS We are instating into our Verhovay Fraternal Life a new phase of Scouting-. The Junior branch of the Boy Scout Movement, this is a new program for younger boys nine, ten and eleven years of age. 1. —Cubbing is a leisuretime program dealing with only a part of the boy’s time. It supplements, but does not compete with the spheres of school and church .and other organized influences in life. 2. —Cubbing is a game. It is not a school or a university, it is a recreation, it is something " to-be-enjoyed” by the Cub. It is fun. It must not be formalized away from joy. Its “doing” really represents purposeful play. As a matter of fact play is one of the most purposeful things done by a younger person. 3. —Cubbing is entirely different from Scouting. While the Scout Tenderfoot requirements are scattered through the three year ranks of Cubbing—all the other activities and hobbies are to be kept scrupulously different from Scouting. The Den Chief here must use care "to keep away” from Scouting activities and practices. The way to do this is to follow the Cubbing outlines which are different both in philosophy and detail. Even games and songs used by Scouts should not be given to Cubs. 4. —Cubbing aims toward the home. The whole trend of the Program is toward the home. Instead of pulling the Cubs away from home to find pleasure, the aim is to provide activities for use in and about the home. City-wide rallies, Courts of Honor, Scout summer camps, etc., are not for Cubs because they puli away from home, in addition to trespassing on Scouting-.. Save those influences until the older age of the Scout. The outtings of a Club, preferably should be in charge of his own family. The activities of a Cub should He home-centered. In instituting Cubbing into our Verhovay Life we are placing into the hands of our respective branch members opportunities of a program designed for the care of the boys 9 to 11 years of age. We realize that this program will be very useful for those senior leaders having limited time but who are earnest and willing to help the boys of their Verhovay Branch. This program is not a “shoving” program but a growing one. Proper instructions and guidance now will prepare these boys for Scouting later. Set an example and your spirit and your ideals will be reflected in the shining faces of these youngsters— you will glorify in watching them at work. And what a reward you will receive their affection and respect —one of life’s greatest gifts to a man. If you have youngsters in your branch, make it your Business to get in touch with your Verhovay Scout Commissioner. MARCH 27, 1937 BRANCH 423 POCAHONAS, W. VA. S The meeting held on Saturday, February 20, 1937, was opened with a speech by Mr. John Fadey, President of Branch 423. In his speech, he thanked all members and congratulated them on their attendance. Mr. Fadey has been President of Branch 423 for a year now and in that time has done everything to the entire Verhovay Organization. Mr. John Tatrie, Secretary of Branch 423 requested that all members of this Branch pay their dues at the meetings. He said that he would not accept any more dues at his home unless the member had a very good excuse for not being able to attend the meeting. Mr. Tatrie’s reason for insisting that all dues be paid at the Branch meeting and that all members attend the meeting are: 1. —Promotes good fellowship among its members and in the Organization. 2. —Creates more interest in the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association as well as in Branch 423. 3. —More accurate account of all dues received. 4. —Members will know better on what accounts money has been paid. Mr. Tatrie has been Secretary of Branch 423 for the past year and has done his best to keep an accurate account of all dues received, paid all accounts, rendered, bills, and collected amounts due the Organization. The Branch President appointed an “Activity Committee” composed of the following members: John Levi, Chairman; Joseph Danko, Louis Kovach, Helen Rángó, Rose Soos and Katherine Kovach, members. The duties of the Activity Committee are to formulate plans for the raising of funds, plan amusements and different ways of entertaining the members at the meetings. Mr. Andrew Dobos gave a fine and interesting speech about his experience with the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association in the past years. He also gave a few suggestions to the Activity Committee. By a majority vote, meetings are to be held on Saturdays at 7 P. M. With this, the meeting was adjourned by the Branch President.
