EDITOR’S FORUM ON NOVEMBER FIRST will be “All Saint’s Day,” which is observed by many churches everywhere in honor of all saints and martyrs. It is always observed in this country with services in churches. In memory of their beloved dead, relatives place upon the last resting places of these departed one, offerings of flowers. Some of our cemeteries will be brilliant with these floral offerings next Monday, showing that THE DEAD WHO LIE IN THEM ARE NOT FORGOTTEN BY THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS, BUT ARE HELD IN LOVING MEMORY. The observance of All Saint’s Day is a beautiful custom and the churches which observe it hold solemn and appropriate services in honor of those who have passed from this life into te next. In our old country All Saint’s Day is observed generally, and we may see on the morning of All Saint’s Day great number of people wending their way toward the cemeteries, carrying flowers, a real memorial procession. They are noticeable on the streets leading to these burial places. In the stress and strain of this modern life it would be well for all of us to pause to remember those who in their day bore the burdens of life and shared its joys, even as we now do, while we carry on the work begun by them. We all know that we may take our part in the world’s activities only for a time and that then all we, who now walk on the earth and struggle with stranger conditions than ever confronted those who have gone into the beyond before us, shall be no more and those who have cared for us here may be placing flowers on our graves on All Saint’s Day. ALL SAINT’S DAY MUST MAKE US THINK OF THE UNCERTAINITY OF LIFE AS WE REMEMBER THOSE WHO HAVE LAID DOWN ITS CARES AND JOYS FOREVER. * * * “THE FRIENDSHIP between Americans and Hungarians is growing stronger every year: the reciprocal affection of the two people too. The Americans have come to love the Hungarians through the person of Louis Kossuth, and through the Martyrs of the Hungarian War for Liberty. Every American citizen visiting Hungary adds to the number of true friends of Hungary in America; for the more Hungarian air an American breathes in this country, the greater the affection he feels for Hungary and Budapest.” These were the words spoken by MR. HOWARD K. TRAVERS, in his official capacity as head of the American Legation, when he laid a wreath on the statue of George Washington in Budapest. Mr. Travers further explained that Louis Kossuth had graven his name in the soul of the American people. The speech was made by the American Diplomat during the cermony commemorating the Sixth of October, before the Budapest statue of George Washington, erect=lyfrhovayQkJhpjQ ed by the generosity of American-Hungarians, which was the first outward symbol of the Americophile sympathies of the Hungarian people. During the ceremony — Baron Paul Forester, Minister Plenipotentiary (retired), was the official speaker: he begged the American-Hungarians NOT TO FORGET THEIR ORIGIN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME TO BE FAITHFUL CITIZENS OF THEIR ADOPTED COUNTRY, THE GREAT REPUBLIC OF AMERICA. * * * “CHANGE HERE FOR HAPPINESS!” is the title of a story which a young Verhovay college girl sent us some time ago. CHANGE WHERE? — WHEN? — HOW? — RIGHT WHERE WE ARE NOW — AND DO IT TODAY! “Start where you stand,” as Henry Ford would put it. There is really no other place to start, if we are to get anywhere. And we must be self-starters — no one can do it for us. Change now? Every day we change our minds about all sorts of matters. It may be more difficult to alter our whole outlook on life, but we can do it. Chesterton did it. In his fantastic way, he tells us how, one day, he saw he was on the wrong track and must switch his train of thought, or his happines would be wrecked. He had been taking life grudgingly, not gladly, complaining because it did not suit him. It made him miserable, and his grumpines infected his friends. Then suddenly, he saw that life was too wonderful to be spoiled, and he faced about. Instead of taking life for granted, he learned to take it for gratitude — and the sun was up!... “Help yourself to happiness,” a wise man tells us. It is there if we have the wit to take it! * * * THE INDIANS, we are reminded by “Nature Magazine,” called the moon of October “the mad moon,” because under it Earth’s wild creatures became wilder, “act up” and often “seem possessed.” Maybe it was this autumn moon that caused animals to do some of the strange things we read about in the papers. For instance: — Japan bombing Chinese cities and killing off her best customer. Hitler and Mussolini shouting “we want peace” through the megaphone of a cannon. Spain destroying its civilization. Business going up and the stock market going down. — A ground searching party reached the crumpled “Mainliner” high in the Utah mountains, and found all 19 occupants of the luxurious air transport dead. Truly it was a mad season. We wish that we were like the Indians and could blame the moon. But it isn’t as simple as that. — CONTEST RULES INFORMATION RELATIVE TO STEAMSHIP TICKET MEMBERSHIP CONTEST 1. —— Our contest began on October 1, 1937. Every Verhovay member can take part in it, those also, who join the Association only now. 2. — Anyone wishing to take part in the contest, must report that fact at once so that we may send them the official entry blank together with the necessary information and instructions. 3. — A total of fifty (50) steamship and railroad tickets from New York to Budapest and from Budapest to New York, comprise the prizes to be distributed among the contestants. 4.— The contestants are to be divided into tw< groups and therefore, the contest also, will be closed at two different times. The older contestants, that is, those who are thirty-six (36) years of age or over, are in one group. There are twenty-five (25) prizes in the form of steamship and railroad tickets to be distributed in this group. The contest of the older group will end in the Spring and the twenty-five winners will visit Hungary in the Spring with the Spring Verhovay excursion. The younger group will be composed of contestants thirtyfive (35) years or under. This group also has twenty-five (25) railroad and steamship tickets as prizes. The contest of the younger group will last about two months longer and they will visit Hungary during the Summer with the Summer Verhovay excursion. 5.— Every contestant must strive to secure as many new members for our Association as possible and also that these new members pay in at least six or twelve monthly dues during the run of the contest. After every new member the contestant will receive a certain number of points if the new member has paid in at least six monthly dues during the contest. 6-— During the contest Iff someone takes up a new member and surrenders the contest points due after this new member in favor of a contestant, the contes* tant will be given these points, not only the points due after the new members actually secured by him. 7.— For every member taken up by a contestant, a so called contest blank must be sent in by the contestant. One of these blanks must be sent in for every member taken up by someone else and after whom the points have been surrendered in favor of the contestant. If at all pos* sible, these blanks should be mailed in to the Home Office together with the application form of the new member. There are two kinds of contest blanks, one for the adults and one for the junior members. 8»— The date, on which the contest is to end for each group, will be determined later and pub* lished. This early in the contest we wish to advise that no contestant is allowed to transfer the railroad or steamship tickets to someone else or sell them to someone. In case a contestant does not accept the tickets, they will automatically be given to the contestant having the next highest number of points. 9. — The sooner someone begins work, the more possibility there will be of being among the winners. . Therefore, those who are seriously thinking of going to Hungary next year, would do well to begin work at once. 10. — Contestants will not be permitted to surrender their contest points in favor of another contestant, in the event that they withdraw from the contest. DO YOU KNOW WHAT INSURANCE DOES? Life insurance leaves death to its heartaches. We cannot remove its sorrow, but we may prevent its financial disaster, for a function of Life Insurance is to perpetuate earnings.. The only equivalent of power to earn by the toil of hands and the ingenuity of intellect is the ability to draw an income from capital. Capital and labor, linked, work the world’s advance, but work is short and capital long. Capital should have no vicissitudes but is squandering. Its use is transferable and its guaranty of performance is always possible. Men struggle on to heap up capital, that they may rest from labor in enjoyment of its power to produce an equivalent to the earnings of labor. Capital may produce income. Life insurance makes income produce capital, even capital ready invested continuing the pay envelope without interruption. Protect your loved ones now! -
