FAGE 10. August 26, 1937, N. F. C. OF A. ■ r The 24th Annual Meeting of the National Fraternal Congress of of America, will be held at Columbus, Ohio, during the week beginning Monday, August 30th. Every loyal fraternalist should help to make this meet­ing the greatest demonstration of Fraternal strength that our nation has ever seen. On Monday, at 10:00 A. M., different group meetings will 4ie held by the Presidents, Secretaries, Actuaries as well as the Medical, Law, Press and State Congress Sec­tions. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, open meet­ings will be held at 10:00 A. M. and 2:00 P. M., at which addresses will be made by representatives of our different fraternal societies. A banquet will be held in the Deshler-Wallick Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, Tuesday evening, for which a small charge is made. On Wednesday evening, a spectacular parade of over 5,000 fraternalists, will march to a mass meeting to be held on the State House lawn. Fraternal Benefit Societies have been attacked in many legislatures recently by unfair, handicapping legislation. Unless we show our strength — unless we re-affirm our loyalities — unless we let .the whole continent know that we represent 7,822,337 men and women — our future is endangered. Come along and help to show the world our power. Help to make America FRATERNAL INSURANCE CONSCIOLTS. We represent seven billion dollars worth of insurance, all sold on the fraternal, non-profit basis. We must not allow this plan of protection to perish. Your duty to your brothers and sisters clearly points the way to Columbus, Ohio, and this greatest of all demonstrations. Let the world see that we really believe in and stand for fraternalism. BRANCH 366 Cleveland, Ohio. Minutes of the meeting of Branch 366 held on August 2,' 1937. The meeting was called to order by Branch President Balazs at 9 P. M. The min­utes of he pre/ious meeting were read and accepted, there being one correction. The correction being that President Balazs had recom­mended Miss Irene Kovács and she had not been nomi­nated. Miss Heleh Veres gave an account of the picnic tickets. Twelve tickets were sold and the remainder of them to­gether with the money for them, were returned to Mr. Joseph Barry of Branch 14. The social committee was asked for an outline of the plan- made for the rest of the Summer. Miss Gizella Merk made a suggestion that we hold a weiner roast. The suggestion was seconded by Mr. Joseph Horvath! The date of the weiner roast was decided on as August 21st, the place, Tarpai’s farm sug" gestested by Miss Irene Ko­vács. Mr. Joseph R. Simko was elected to be on the so­cial committee. A special meeting will be held by the social committee. Miss Helen Veres asked for suggestions as to how we can have more of our members stay for the meet­ing. The suggestions were as follows: 1. That we change the meeting night. That was tried before, but it didn’t work. 2. Mr. A. E. Thomas', Dis­trict Manager, said that we ought to hold a small party after each meet­ing. 3. Mr. Sol said that be would give us a quarter barrell of beer for our next meeting. Miss Irene Kovács asked why the club wouldn’t like to go down to Pittsburgh some Sunday morning. That will be taken up at our next meeting. Branch President Balazs made a suggestion that the person who sent in those articles signed “The News Reporter” send all articles to Mr. Joseph Horvath or to him and sign his or her name. The Treasurer, Miss He­len Veres then gave a trea­surer’s report with the help of our former Treasurer, Miss Betty Pal. The trea­surer’s report was accepted. There being no further busi­ness, the meeting was ad­journed at 9.50 P. M. Julia E. Mak, Recording Secretary, Branch 366.-VerhovayJoutml BRANCH 395 McKeesport, pa. Heigh o and cheerio all you Ver­hovay members — far and near. McKeesport has been sitting back and taking in all the news of the other Branches, so now, we have decided to give you some news about our “fair” town. OUR FIRST SUMMER OUT­ING was held on Sunday, July 25th at the County Park. Well I certainly think everyone had a good time. What? — with swimming, bicycle riding, horse­back riding and tennis — it’s no wonder everyone enjoyed them­selves. And snapshots — I be­lieve everyone under the Sun, and his brother, had a camera. The “snaps” turned out fine, especial­ly the candid camera shots (Paul­ine and Irene, ahem!) By the way, I wonder who the handsome “brute” is, that Ann Pasternak brought along. That’s some “boat” he has, Ann. Ann may have brought a surprise to the picnic but her sister, Irene, brought the big laugh of the day. It seems that some of the girls went bicycling. I must say that they made a pretty sight (ahem), but perhaps I shouldn’t criticize because they certainly were brave, especially Irene. It seems that she wasn’t satisfied to just ride but she wanted to see if she could ride with her ear to the ground! How we laughed! And Irene, instead of fussing and fum­ing like most girls would have, laughed with the rest of us and got up and tried again. One of the highspots of the outing was the delicious lunch served. The boys were amazed at the girl’s skill in cooking. Some of them were on the verge of proposing, until someone slip­ped and revealed the fact that a delicatessen had prepared every­thing. Ah me, I wonder if the boy will ever get over the shock. It wasn’t long after supper when a sudden heavy rain chased every­one to their car. So very soon everyone was headed for hfcme, very tired but happy. BY THE WAY, I hear that we’ve lost one of our girl mem­bers, Emma Vakarcs. She has moved to Wayne, Michigan. ' If there is a Verhovay Branch in Wayne, I know that Emma will be around. And do you know that Emma has been gone only about two months and Wayne is hundreds of miles away, but al­ready, one of our boys has been up to see her. I wonder if the trip just took him that way, as he says? How about it Gus? And know what? Four of our boys were seen at the Luna Gar­dens, McKeesport’s “hot spot.” Imagine! Boys, boys, tch, tch when I saw, (I mean heard, ahem) that they had been there, I was shocked. Now don’t get panicky, boys, I won’t give your names away, ah no, how dare I? WHILE I WAS STROLLING along our Main Street one Satur­day evening, I noticed that one of our members, Frankie Toth, was hurrying along at a great rate of speed, in fact almost running. I couldn’t imagine what could have 'happened to spur him along so, but I soon found out, for a few steps ahead of him, hurrying just as fast, was “Pinkie” Goy­­dan. Every so often she’d cast a quick glance back to see if Frankie was still there. Now, what do you suppose it was all about? Was “Pinkie” trying to avoid Frankie or was she just be­ing coquettish? Well it’s beyond me. BY THE WAY, it seems that one evening last week a few of our members decided to have a wiener roast. And I’ll tell you everyone certainly had a “Swell” time. What — with a beautiful night, a heavenly spot, delicious wieners, and a full moon — who wouldn’t have a good time? And when I say the moon was beauti­ful, I don’t mean perhaps. If you don’t believe me, just ask Olga and Lutzie. Oh, boy, they sure did alright by the light of the moon. And do you know that I doubt if those two even ate one wiener between them, they were that engrossed in each other: Ah me, “ain’t” love grand? WELL, ANYWAY, after every­one had his fill of wieners, and Olga and Lutzie their fill of the moon, (I later found out that they didn’t even know that the idea of the affair was to roast wieners, in fact they didn’t even see any — ah me!) the crowd started home. Everyone was gay and full of fun on the ride home, that is, everyone but “Tiny” Kanyusik, she was deathly afraid of getting her dress wrinkled. Every few minutes “Tiny” would exclaim, “please don’t Sit too close to me, my dress will get wrinkled” or “be carefull how you take the bumps, my dress is linen and it wrinkles so easily.” Well, of course, everyone thought that “Tiny” was just being a little girl. That is, everyone thought so, until she shyly, with a slight­ly bowed head, explained, “you see, Mother is waiting up for me and if my dress is wrinkled, you see ... Well ... uh .. . well —” (It’s alright, “Tiny,” we under­stand). BY THE WAY, there seems to be some queer things going on around here lately. I wonder how “Itchie” Goydan got that “moniker.” It seems that a cer­tain episode (about, which I can find out nothing) left Goydan with the tag of “Itchie.” “Play­boy” Ferency and “Pres.” Len­­art seem to know the answer, but will they tell? No Siree! If I find out, I’ll let you know next month (If I’m still alive, but I doubt it). Another incident which has aroused my curiosity is the episode concerning “Pfeffer­korn” and his “Grandmother.” By waving a red flag before a bull or asking “Pfeff” about his “Grandmother,” you can get the same results. What’s it all about “Pfeffy”? They wouldn’t by any chance be referring to a cer­tain “she”? How about break­ing down and teling the old ‘•'Tattler” all about it. Why I wouldn’t tell another soul (not much). O.K. “Pfeffy,” you can stop blushing now, I”ll leave you alone for the time being. Jumping catfish, I’d better stop or I’ll soon have eonugh to fill a book. I wonder if I dare go to the next meeting of the Branch. I’ll probably be tried and shot at sunrise. But then maybe no­body knows who I am. I’m try­ing to keep my identity a secret, so it’ll be easier to get the “dope.” I wonder if I’ll succeed? I can just imagine. Well for my first visit I’ve said enough, (too much, I fear). So ta, ta and cheerio, ‘till the next time. For if I’m still an earthly body, I’ll be back. THE “TATTLER” Branch 395, McKeeiport, Pa.
