APRIL 24, 1937 When the Giant Steamer Europa’s Siren will Sound THOUGHTS WHEN SPRING IS IN THE AIR “I can feel that Spring is in the air.” How often we can hear this expression at this time of the year. How much hidden meaning can be behind these words. When someone says “I feel Winter is coming” they say Winter but actually mean that unpleasant twinge in their backs. When they say “I can feel the summer”, that is again another thing altogether. But do we hear that at all? The summer is something altogether natur­al and pleasant and to be taken for granted, some­thing taken for granted and not mentioned as healthy people do not speak of their health. But . . . when someone says “I feel the Autumn” — in this there is tragedy: sur­render, the passing of every­thing, interrment. Soaring spirits, hymns of pure ecstacy, lightness of heart, are expressed only in the words “I feel the Spring”. This is our most vital part of life, as powerful in fact as Nature which creates Life again, from seeming annihi­lation. In the Spring when every­thing animate and inanimate is beginning to pulse with renewed life, we begin to feel the urge of the optimism born in us, no matter how callous the passing years have made us seem. Our souls want to live again, to find expression and bring fruit as the trees in bud now, will bring fruit in their al­lotted time. That is why everyone is conscious of the Spring, who has a God-given soul, with the will to live therein. The current Spring sea­son will sow its seed on the Verhovay estate also. The dream of many Hungarian- Americans will be realized when they shall cross the seas to the Land that has been the subject of their nostalgic dreams ever since they left it and like migrat­ing birds, they will returr “Home”. ■ The Hungarian-Ameri cans, born in the Old Coun­try await with yearning the sound of the “Europa’s’ siren. This sound is await ed with an equal thrill In the second generation o American-Hungarians also those who were born hen and are in a sense, “Ameri cans”. Everyone taking part h the Verhovay excursion i thinking at present of th thrills and sensations await ing him or her, on hearing the siren of the “Europa” This feverish excitement cai be appreciated by anyon realizing that this is not ai ordinary European trip but a momentous innovation in the lives of Hungarian- Americans, as a result of which, the Verhovay Tribe will make its way across the seas to the personification of the “Promised Land”. It is with pleasure that we realize that the Verhovay contest is going “full speed ahead”. The winners of this contest wil take part in this excursion, totally free of cost. One of the pur­poses of this excursion is to' have the Verhovays going over there, revive the “Band­­holtz cult”. In order to freshen the memory of a man, the representative of one of the victorious nations, who actually brayed bodily assault in order to befriend our helpless and forsaken kin over there and to save for us the priceless treasures of the National Museum fom the vandalism of the in­vading Roumanian hordes. The Verhovay representa­tives may remain to see the gorgeous and world famous ceremonies during the week of St. Stephen’s celebration. The thrills and sights to be seen by the group beggars description, it has to be seen and lived through in order to be sufficiently appreciat­ed. The group will be un­der the supervision and guid­ance of Mr. John Bencze, Supreme Secretary of the Verhovay Fraternal Insur­ance Association. Very many people have expressed their intention of joining the Verhovay group, among these is our Vice- President Mr. John Koros­­foy an outstanding member of the Board of Directors. He will lead the. Transyl­vanian Hungarians from Bu­dapest to the beautiful land of their birth amidst the snow capped Carpathians. Only a poet and a vision­ary could do justice to the thrills and sights and sensa­tions awaiting the members of the pilgrimage. When the siren of the “Europa’ will sound, this thrill alone would compensate for an) and all work and effort ex­pended, to say nothing o: what will follow when the beautiful floating palace shall have left her berth ir the harbor of New York anc shall have begun to make her way into the gossamei loveliness of which dream are woven, the mirage tha is the ocean, which can lx seen and felt but not des cribed. You still have time anc who knows but that the say ing “he who laughs last laughs best” may be ver’ true in your case. For while you may not be at the toj JACOBS CREEK TEAM IS READY FOR 1937 CAMPAIGN Jacobs Creek baseball team has reorganized for the 1937 season, under the manage­ment of Stephen Szabó and James Hazy. Annually one of the best “Nine” along the Youghiog­­heny River, the Jacobs Creek outfit this season is expected to rate with the most capable teams in the tri-state district. The team has been practising for the past few weeks and is pre­pared to book games for the summer. They would like very much to book games with our own Verhovay Teams, especially Pittsb’rgh, Y’ngs­­town or Cleveland. Write to Stephen $zabo, Box 34, Jacobs Creek, Pa. Now let’s hear from vou. Minutes of our meeting of April 5, 1937 The meeting was called to or­der by our president, John Ba­lázs, at 8:50 P.M. Minutes of our previous meeting were read and approved. Branch 14 will hold a 35th Anniversary on May 16th, at which time the members are ask­ed to serve. Delegates for this banquet will be elected at our next meeting. John Balazs made a suggestion that we get together with Branch 14 to see if we can have basket­ball equipment installed in our hall. This matter will be taken up with the House Committee, the result of which, will be known at our next meeting. Seeing that no definite deci­sion could be made as to our sum­mer activities, it was the mem­bers opinion that we nominate a Social Committee, who will out­line a plan of summer activities and present it at our next meeting. The committee are the following: Mr. Jos. J. Horvath, Chairman; Miss Betty Toth, Secretary; Gi­zella Merk, Margaret Sanders, Elsie Nagy, Helen Strom, and Mr. John Iaoobucci. Miss Irene Kovach resigned her position as Publicity Agent, and made a motion that Mr. Jos. J. Horvath fulfill this position. The motion was seconded by Miss Helen E. Veres and carried. There being no further busi­ness meeting adjourned at 9.45 P.M. Recording Sec. Irene C. Kovács of the list now, but your ef­forts from now till the close of the contest may put you there, and then you will “laugh best” too, especially when you will be on the deck of the “Europa” bound for the land that we call “Home” even through Eter­nity.
