PAGE 6 October 28, 1937 TWO INTERESTING LETTERS VfrhovayQhJgpjd 6% ANNUAL DIVIDENDS Dear President Darago: I am writing this letter to you, as an ardent supporter of a Democratic Govern­ment, and also as one, who is interested in the welfare and the superiority of the land of his fathers. Upon reading the July 29th issue of the Verhovay Journal, I came upon an ar­ticle, an excerpt from the "Christian Science Monitor,” the title being "Hungary’s National Socialists Want Big Estates Divided.” This article moved me deeply. You know the contents of this article. I concluded that if the movement does gain strength, it is just logi­cal, for its leaders evidently offer a bigger bait than the fish they expect to catch. Europe’s Financial status is the cause and not Politics nor the subdivision of large es­tates. I am convinced that the present Government is doing all it can, to elevate Hungarian Prestige. Hun­garian Unity and not apathy is needed. Such organiza­tions, as that headed by Ba­ron Perényi Zsigmond in the Homeland, and the activi­ties of the Verhovay in the United States, should be supported by Hungarian Nationals and those of Hun­garian birth. The present Verhovay I believe serves two great purposes. 1st. — The Verhovay does a hu­manitarian work by its In­surance organization. Se­condly, it keeps its index fin­ger on the pulse of Hungary, the land so dear to me, and the other American born American-Hungarians, The good will delegation of the Verhovay, going to Magyarorszag, serves an ex­cellent purpose. Every member of the delegation will undoubtedly tell some­body else, as to how we here in America feel about them, etc. All of this will serve the only one purpose, that is, to permit the tillers of the Hungarian soil to think more logically. Should they think so, they will come to realize that internal discord would only weaken Hun­gary’s very hard earned prestige, for today Hungary is on the road towards claim­ing significance in European Politics, more so than in any post-War time. If only we, the "Second Generation” would do some­thing, and I know they can, we could elevate Hungarian prestige, here in America, and to be considered not as mere HUNKY-S but as Hungarians. Again the Verhovay can assume a duty. Mr. Dara­go, why not begin a corres­pondence club, through the Verhovay, with the young people and others of Hun­gary. In this letter I wished only to express my devotion to the Verhovay and if its present policies are kept for­ever, I shall be a fervent sup­porter forever. If any Hun­garian does want to do something for Hungary, just let them join the VerhoA^ay. Yours most sincerely, Andrew Gombos Sec. & Treas. Br. 484--------o--------­Mr. Andrew Gombos 716 Sixth Ave. Beaver Falls, Pa. Dear Member, Mr. Gombos: Your letter dated July 31st, affected me very pleas­antly indeed, for the reason that it allowed a glimpse of an understanding and wise man and in its lines could be felt the warmth of love of race. Let the following be a re­ply thereto: First of all, the Hungar­ians themselves can change the depressing situation of the Hungarian Nation, by discarding the system of large estates. I have expressed my opin­ions on this subject on the pages of our Journal when I clearly wrote that the tillers of the soil should be given land. By this, the body of the nation can be strength­ened, because, the Nation belongs to the owners of the land! It is apparent that this idea is not new to the leaders of the Hungarian Nation and the fulfillment of it is imminent. Two methods of change are familiar, through which changes in the circumstances of people, can be brought about: the pressure of radi­cal, that is, rebellious erup­tions, reform movements, or the actions demanded by natural development. A foresighted man does not deem the occasion of a radical storm of blood which upsets everything, a desir­able means of rebuilding and for this reason, thinks to bring about the necessary social requirements, through continued reforms. The constitution of the Verhovay is not erected on a storm. The foundation is constructed of exact mathe­matical problems. Reforms enlarge and form its' busi­ness methods and therefore, it does not deviate even in nationality, from the increas­ed demands of development acknowledged as correct by it. That is why it is on the same road as Baron Perényi and others who are attempt­ing to fuse together the small atoms of our Nation in order that with their union they may give weight and pressure to that racial will which expresses the de­sire to live. The Verhovay representa­tives have visited Hungary on this the second occasion and these are the prelimin­aries to that World Congress which will be held next year, with the participation in it, of Hungarians abroad. Therefore, we shall not add our tune prematurely, to that concert, the notes of which are but now being set down by national necessity and for this reason our mem­bers are merely paying a brotherly visit at this time. It would be a mistake to instigate the second genera­tion to a national movement only with the raising of emo­tions — even through cor­respondence, because the understanding and intelli­gence of this demand that we permit them to see to the core of our aims to Avhich we desire to win their support. * We must await the results of the World Congress’s work and if they weld the ties that bind the Hungar­ians abroad and those in the Homeland in a manner de­manded by natural develop­ment, then the second, nay even the third generation will find their niche therein, such a place moreover, as is worhty of them. Your letter, dear member Gombos, was very commend­able and to me very precious and from the above you can deduce the seriousness of the reply. Therefore, I believe that you will give my expression due importance, wherein I state that we should wait with the starting of move­ments until eve can deduce cause and effect, also. Fraternally yours Joseph Darago Supreme President HOW DO YOU KNOW? Your death may be SUDDEN, SOON, & ACCIDENTAL During the month of Oc­tober, dividend checks are again being mailed to each Local Branch. For a number of years Verhovay Fraternal Insur­ance Association has been returning annually to her members, a refund or so­­called dividend, of 2% of the reserve required for each membership certificate which j has been in force for a period j of at least thirty-six months on the 31st of December of the previous year. This means that Verhovay is really paying 6% annual­ly to each member who pos­sesses a certificate requiring­­a reserve of 4% accumula­tion in addition to the above mentioned dividend or re­fund of 2%. 1. — While the member receives only 2% in actual cash, his certificate reserve or cash value option is be­ing increased by 4% each and every year it is in force. 2. — The continuation of these magnificent annual di­vidends depends upon Ver­hovay having each year, a low mortality (death rate) experience, along with high percentage of income earn­ings on her investments and also a most conservative ex­pense budget. It would not be fair to those who pay their dues promptly if this extra 2% is also paid to those members who are continuously slow and delinquent in their pay­ment of dues. If all dues were paid on time or in ad­vance, it would save the Home Office considerable expense in checking up on those who are always slow and delinquent. While old line life insur­ance companies alloAv thirty days or one month grace period for the. payment of dues, Verhovay permits a period of three months. Strictly speaking, it is my opinion that these 2% an­nual certificate reserve par­ticipations should first be used to reduce any non-in­terest bearing membership lien or loan. The best way for our members to help Verhovay to be in a position to con­tinue these annual 2% divi­dend refunds may be listed follows: 1) Be sure to pay your dues promptly. 2. ) Help each month to obtain new members. 3. ) Form local committees if necessary to visit those members who carelessly or foolishly have permitted their certificates to lapse. 4. ) Attend your local branch meetings and help make them so interesting that a much larger percen­tage of the membership will want to be present. 5. ) If your nearby neigh­bors are healthy, clean-liv­ing and moral members of the white race, you should explain to them that Verho­vay offers them the best plans of life insurance at the lowest net cost. 6. ) The dues that are giv­en to Verhovay are actually im-ested and not paid by the member. 7. ) Verhovay pays for sickness and accident as well as death and our new certi­ficate reserve is being in­creased annually by 3/%-8. ) Since January 1, 1936, all new certificates are bas­ed upon the % interest assumption plan. 9. ) While no life insurance company or society is per­mitted to guarantee future annual dividends, they are permitted to assume that past dividend experience may be continued in the fu­ture. 10. ) Report • immediately to your local branch officer or to the Home Office the names and addresses of any and all persons that make false statements about our * association or make unfair comparisons of our rates and insurance plans with those offered by other societies of by life insurance companies, 11. ) After you have re­ported them as explained above, if they continue their guilty actions, you should continue to report them un­­til they cease making these false statements or unfair comparisons. 12. ) No organization can offer any better insurance than you can procure from Verhovay, and as long as our membership shows their loyalty as explained above, the net cost of Verhovay in­surance will be as low as pos­sible. * CLEVELAND, O.
