JOLÁN FÖLDES f In the January 29th issue of our paper we gave a short review about “The Street of the fishing cat” written by Jolán Földes. We think it would be interesting to our readers to be informed about |he life of the author, who achieved international fame by winning the world li­terary contest. STATEMENT OF JOLÁN FÖLDES * * * “I was born in a small Hungarian village”, Jolán Földes writes; “Kenderes”, tthe same in which Old Ba­rabás, the hero of my novel, was born. My village hás since achieved some fame­­another of its children, the Admiral Nicholas Horthy,, having become Regent of Hungary. “Later on, after I had passed my maturity examin­ations, I went first to the; Vienna University and later to the Paris Sorbonne. I wanted to study languges, but I hated the idea of be­coming a teacher. My di­lemma was solved for me when I was nineteen, as I ran off and married a boy of my own age. To our great astonishment, our parents were not overjoyed, and, they simplv stopped send­ing us money for our stu­dies. This happened in Paris, and in consequence IÍ began earning my bread. First I worked as a factory girl, later taught French .o foreign workers coming to Paris in search of jobs, and finally became secretary to the head of a film producing company. This was great fun and I made three delici­ous trips to London. “About the time our pa­rents began being reconcil­ed to our marriage, we be­gan to suspect we had made a mistake. We came home to Hungary, but very soon I went over to Egypt where I worked at the Hungarian Embassy. 1 was director, clerk, typist and office boy of the Embassy, being the whole staff all by myself Then I came home, got my divorce and married again this time more intelligent­ly”. “Writing? 1 started writ­ing at sixteen. Of course, I meant then to become a great scientist-sociologist or psychologist, and never at­tacked any subject which did not need a study of at least fifteen or twenty years. How T came to write novels I don’t know.. It was four yers ago and I won a Hun­garian literary' prize with my fitst one. Since then 1 I have published another no­vel and a play of mine has been given in Budapest”. FIND JOY IN YOUR TASKS Making a game of the work y'ou have to flo has been found to be an easy way at times, of getting it done. Still it is not half so effective as forming the habit of finding enjoyment in every' task. No work will prove irksome if you find pleasure in doing whatever you have to do. To look upon work as a disegreeable thing to be gotten over with as soon as possible, results in forming a habit that will handicap you for all future years. But to learn to find joy' in the doing of your work will enrich your life beyond measure.—(Boy’s World.) A NEW VERSION Eloping bride—Here’s a telegram from father. Eloping groom— What does he say? Eloping bride — Don’t come hotjie and all will be forgiven.—(Valdosta Times. lyirhovayakJapja Past Present and Futuristic By Joseph J. Horvath BRANCH 366 Cleveland, Ohio. Lest I forget, I want to thank Miss Julia Mak for the lovely' dinner she gave our dance committee. Miss Margaret Sander has a nice color scheme; Green finger nails with a green dress, red for a red dress, etc...... “Tiny” Bosway is one of the star bowlers at VERHOVAY Home. — He ought to be when he’s 6 feet 6 inches tall and when he throws the ball down, he reaches- halfway down. I met the “Duchess” the other day. She is not a member, but maybe we’ll get some of the boys to convince her that she ought to be a member of Branch 366. In the near future, Misses Betty Dibaczy and Mary Fe jes are going to lecture on baked goods. They both work in a bakery'. Louis Tár­cái is going to Ohio State University in Columbus. I bet he’s going to leave a trail of broken hearts. — Violet Tárcái is one of the best girl athlete in Cleveland. Wonder when William’ Pescők, attorney, is going to lecture on “Law”? We ought to promote a debate, as we have more than one lawy'er in our branch. Heard that Jack Russell is selling insur­ance. What’s the matter with the newspaper racket, Jack? Wonder where Mr. Vor Pregler keeps himself? Mrs. Maltesz of the Ladies Branch 361 is one of the hardest working women in the organization, can’t say; that about her daughter. Mrs. Kadar, president of the Ladies Branch is a suc­cessful business woman.; She has a Beauty' Shop on Buck­eye Road known as “Ethel’s Beauty Shop”. How about starting a ball rolling for a picnic this sum­mer? May Walker, June Rambler, etc. If any ' of our members want to assist me in writing this 'article, or know of any­thing you want me to write, you may write to me in care of the Verhovay Hall at 8637 Buckeye Road, Cleveland Ohio. BRANCH 366 CLEVELAND, OHIO Well, members, you who attended the Budapest Choir Concert on January 25th, are fooled because I did write an article pertaining to the en­joyable evening we spent at the concert. You, members, who did not attend really don’t real­ize what you missed, I can­not find words to express just how wonderful these singers were. Every Hun­garian should be proud of the fact that we have such a distinguished choir among our nationality. The songs they sang were, of course, Hungarian Classic Songs, and they certainly received a great ovation. Following the concert, we immediately went back stage to obtain autographs, which we did, and at the same time practic­ally thrown out by the poli­ceman as we were not allow­ed there. We finally left go­ing out the stage entrance, but not alone, we had some of the choir singers with us. So outside we chatted for a while, when finally I asked one of the fellows what he knows in English. So in a loud whisper he says to me, “I love you”. I answered, “Swell, ‘‘what else do you know?” He immediately re­plied, “Give me a kiss?” I said, “Okay brother, but not here, let us go over to the corner”. He must have under stood, because he took my arm, and saying to the girls in a foreign accent, “Excoose me plese, just a minoot”, we parted for the corner. Well, he looked at me and I looked at him. Then he kissed me, and what a kiss, but don’t get excited girls, he only kissed me on the cheek. I wasn’t going to wash that spot on my face, but I had to, after all I din’t want to look too conspicuous. The fellow’s name was Bela Bolits. All in all, we all had a grand time, and we all hope that we may* have the plea­sure of hearing them again, and believe me, if one of the fellows ask me for a kiss again, I will give him one this time, and it will be an American one too. Even if I am a little bashful, but I will be a sport and give him a kiss he will never forget.* (If I go to Europe in 1938 as I plan, I will look him up, but will probably find him with a nice large family).

Mr. Evans’ motion was seconded Mr. Horvath thanked the members, and in turn gave the $5.00 to Miss Fejes with instructions to arrange a party for the members who were on the dance commit­tee. Report was given by the delegates who attended the banquet in honor of Mr. Pá­linkás, that they aU had a pleasant time. The delegates who attended the Budajpest Choir Concert also stated that the concert was well en­­joyed by everyone. Mr. A.

Miss Irene Kovács made a motion that we hold a dance in April with A1 Thomas’ Orchestra from Akron. Her motion was seconded by Miss Helen E. Veres. Miss Gizella Merk made a motion that we elect Miss Kovács chairman of the dance com­mittee for that dance. Miss Merk’s motion was second­ed.
