PAGE 12 VERHOVAY DETROIT, MICHIGAN BRANCH 356 On Friday, October 1st, there was supposed to have been a meeting held by Branch 356 of Detroit. We weren’t surprised that there wasn’t any, but we' did ex­pect, this time, a sufficient number of members to be present, even tho the article about Branch 356 appeared a little late in the Verhovay Journal. But even so, enough was written in the local papers to warrant a greater attendance. Personally, I don’t see why Branch 356 pays rent for a room. Meetings are never held. Soon the at­tendance w'ill dwindle down so much that wee’ll be able to hold a meeting in a tele­phone booth. Branch 356 has been inac­tive for quite a while and therefore this correspondent couldn’t do much. There wasn’t anything to write about. Well, things got so bad that finally something had to be done, and as a result, that article in the Journal appeared try­ing to arouse the members. I hope the members of Bianch 356 took in the spirit in which it was intended. Prying further into the depths of our problems, it was found out that as an in­ducement for getting new members they were told that they (new members) would­n’t have to come to the meetings to pay their dues, and as a result it is now ne­cessary to have a collector. Before, a lot of the members came to the meetings to pay, but now it is not neces­sary for them to come. It seems that the organizer, and Branch 356 ought to get together and get their sig­nals straightened out and not have each one pull the wrong way. On the one side the members are told that they don’t have to come wdiile on the other side we are trying to get them to come. Well, I see where a fellow member in Branch 356, who was one of the winners to make that trip to Hungary has returned home. She thanks the Verhovay for the opportunity given to her. I hope she finds enough time now to come to meetings once in a while ana help do a little something for Good O 1 d Verhovay, especially Branch 356. She is that type of person who fits in very w'ell in the proceedings of the meetings. Her pres­ence w'ould be appreciated. While speaking of C.M. BRANCHES she said something about the earnest effort expended in Detroit in the cause of anything Magyar. Well, I can’t see it. However, there may be an effort, but it has­n’t resulted in anything worth while to be proud of. The Hungarian population is concentrated in the Del­ray section, and what i s there to show? We can’t compare with the Germans on the other side of the city. We haven’t a Recreation or a Community Center where­by the Hungarians could fo­cus their interests to have a common point for their so­cial life. This lack of unity seems to be reflected in the Verhovay itself, especially Branch 356, if Branch 356 is to be a criterion. I w'ould like to see what C. M. says, and have in Delray a real Community Center. It wouldn’t be a bad idea if the Verhovay undertook such a task, and it wouldn’t be a bad business investment either. And by the way C.M., the next time you come to the meeting we would like to see those moving pictures you took in Hungary and which you promised to show to us. And now I would like to say something to BRANCH 429 of DEARBORN. Geo. Noch, who conceived the idea of the Verhovay Bowl­ing League of Greater De­troit, and who had to give the idea up because of lack of co-operation from the other branches, wishes to thank you for your response. It seems that your branch was the only one interested and your interests were manifested by the fact that you had two bowling teams organized, while our own Branch 356 was unable to even muster enough for one team, and we were the ones to try to form this league. FERRET, FERRET: I wish to reply to your article where you made mention of Branch 356. Probably the fact that we were conspicu­ous by our absence, prompt­ed you to write. It’s funny it never occurred to our mem­bers. You don’t have to get after7 356, —• unless you want to help. We’ve been trying to do this for quite some time. 1 wdsh you would get after $56. May­be, if an outsider, from an­other branch, w'ould do it, they might listen. You said that if you didn’t hear any­thing you would write about 356 and that vre wouldn’t like w'hat you’d have to say. Well, I hope you lay it on good and plenty for we de­serve it. I noticed in the other columns of the Journal that the other branches are quite active, and with the coming of the Fall and Winter sea­son their activities are in­creasing to such an extent that they are holding meet­ings more often. I winder how they do it? And by the way, so far there was no response from Branch„356. It may be that there will be a little by the time the next meeting is here. And speaking of the next meeting I would like to call to your attention that hereafter, instead of holding the meetings on the first Friday of each month, it will be now, on the first Wednes­day of each month. So the next meeting date is on November 3rd, and will be held at the usual place at the Verhovay Hall at the corner of West End and W. Jefferson. ' J. B.--------o--------­CLEVELAND, O. BRANCH 366 =7MtiovayJournal= Minutes of the meeting of Branch 366 of Cleveland, O., held on October 4, 1937. The meeting was called to order at 8:45 P.M. by Br. President Balazs. The min­utes of the previous meeting were read and accepted. The first thing we decided upon was our trip to Pitts­burgh. The date is Octo­ber 31st. We are to leave on the 8 o’clock train on that Sunday morning, arriv­ing in Pittsburgh about 11 o’clock, in the forenoon. There will be about 25 of us going. Judging by the numerous letters and invitations which we are continually receiving, the next month or two will be a very busy one for Br. 366. We received an in­vitation from “A Cleveland-i Magyar Református Ifusági Egylet,” but as we have our trip on that day, Miss Irene Kovach is to send a letter of regret for our inability to ac­cept the invitation. Another on? was received for Nov. 14th, from the “Magyar So­ciety for Self Culture.” To this banquet, Miss Irene Kovach and Michael Vai­­land will go as representa­tives of Branch 366. A suggestion was made that we hold a dance. The dance is to be held on Nov. 7th. The following are on the Dance Committee: Misses Margaret Haller, Gi­zella Merk, Marie Gergely, Julia Mak, Rose Csak and Joseph Simko, as well as Michael Bokeny. Branch President Balazs received a letter from the Detroit Branch asking whether we have a bowling team and if we have, that they would arrange a bowl­ing contest in Detroit. As yet w'e have no bowling team, but the members seem to think that it is a good idea. The Membership drive has started on October 1st. Branch President Balazs and Joseph Simko are two can­didates of Branch 366 in this contest. The members of Branch 366 will do all they can to help them be among the winners of the coming trip. As yet we did not secure the filing cabinet for Miss Irene Kovach, our Branch Secretary. A special meeting is to be held on Friday, October 29th, to make the final ar­rangements as to how, where and w'hen we are to meet on Sunday, October 31st. There being no fur­ther business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:20 P.M. Julia E. Mak Recording Secretary --------o--------­McKeesport — br. 395 WILL BE HOSTS TO CLEVELAND BRANCH / McKeesport, Pa. Branch 395 is going to be the host to Branch 366 of Cleveland, Ohio, on their excursion to the Pittsburgh district on Sunday October 31, 1937. Our McKeesport Branch deems it a great honor to have as guests, the Associa­tion’s most progressive and outstanding Branch, No. 366 of Cleveland. The entire membership is happy that such an opportunity has pre­sented itself, whereby they may meet and become ac­quainted W'ith their Verho­vay fellow members. We feel that this inter-communi­cation between the Branches, will tend to build greater co-operation, good will, and fraternalism among the Branches of the Association. Upon arrival in Pitts­burgh, the Cleveland guests will be escorted to the Pitts­burgh Hungarian Club, wdiere a luncheon will be October 28, 1937, given in their honor. If it is at all possible, wre are go­ing to have the Supreme officers present at the din­ner. For the balance of the afternoon, our Cleveland vi­sitors will be taken on a tour of the various points of in­terest in the Pittsburgh dis­trict. We feel that they will enjoy a visit to the Uni­versity of Pittsburgh’s Ca­thedral of Learning. Here w’e plan to visit the library and the international rooms. They shall also see the Car­negie Museum, Music Hall, and the Library. At the present time the Museum is housing the W'orld famous International Art Exhibi­tion. In the near vicinity, they W'ill visit the Stephen Foster Memorial, Heinz Chapel, St. Pauls Cathedral, and the newly dedicated monument to science, the $5,000,000 Mellon Institute. Time permitting, they shall view Carnegie Tech, Forbes Field, and the Pitt Stadium. If it can be arranged, the home offices of Verhovay w'ill be visited. We feel sure our guests will enjoy a ride up one of Pittburg’s famous inclines, from w'here an unexcelled view of the Golden Triangle, and the surrounding countryside can1 be had. We shall try to make Cleveland’s excursion to Pittsburgh complete in every respect. We want them to feel that their trip has been worthwhile, and we want them to take home memories that they can cher­ish in years to come. McKeesport Branch 395 wishes to take this oppor­tunity to invite the various Branches in the Pittsburgh district to join us and the Cleveland visitors in the tour of the points of interest in Pittsburgh. We feel sure that a pleasant day will be had by all. For further in­formation, address your in­queries to: A. J. Goydan 722 Wylie Ave. McKeesport, Pa.
