Mind­ketten hálás szavakkal em­lékeznek meg a Magyaror­szágon töltött felejthetetlen, szép napokról s leszögezik, hogy a magyarországi útnál szebbet és kellemesebbet el­képzelni is nagyon nehéz volna. — Összes versenyző­ink megírták már levelüket s mi szeretnők még egyszer bokrétába fűzni azokat a gyönyörűséges, elismerő so­rokat, melyek csak úgy ra­­gyognak attól az örömtől és boldogságtól, melyekre még a puszta visszaemlékezés is álomszerű .... Minket is boldoggá tesz az a tudat, hogy megígérik valameny­­nyien, hogy ezentúl még szorgalmasabb, m é g oda­­adóbb tagjai lesznek a Ver­­hovay Nagy Családnak. — --------o--------­SCRANTON, PA. 174-ik fiók Tagtársi szeretettel értesítjük a Scranton, Pa. 174-ik fiókhoz tar­tozó helybeli tagtársakat, hogy NOVEMBER 7-ÉN tartandó havi gyűlés “rendkivüli” gyűlés lesz. A tagszerzési verseny, a fiók baseball csapatának munka-prog­ramja lesz megbeszélve. — Úgy­szintén a Verhovay Igazgatósá­gunk határozatának értelmében, Daragó kp. elnök urnák, női tag­jainkhoz való felhívása a Hazai Vörös Kereszt megsegítése érde­kében fog tárgyaltatni és valami formában elintéztetni. És ekkor lesznek az osztalékok (Dividen­­dek) is kiosztva. — Női tagjaink már ez utón is felkéretnek, hogy az általuk megszokott, alaposan át gondolt tervvel jöjjenek a gyű­lés elé, s hozzák magukkal a min­den nemes ügyért dolgozni tudó többi magyar asszonyokat is Németh János I., elnök Cibolya József, titkár DAYTON, OHIO 249-ik fiók Gyűlése november 14-én, vasárnap délután a szokott időben lesz a Szent Imre Hallban. Ezen a gyűlésen lesznek az osztalékok is ki­fizetve. Más igen fontos ügyek is tárgyalva lesznek, miért is a tagtársak megjele­nését kéri a fiók vezetősége. ELLWOOD CITY, PA. 141-ik fiók Novemberi rendes gyűlése a szokott időben és helyen lesz megtartva s azon fontos ügyek lesznek letárgyalva, miért is a tagtársak szives megjelenését annál is inkább kéri a fiók ügykezelője, mert ezen a gyűlésen lesznek az osztalékok is kifizetve. “A Verhovay Itinerary” I have just returned from abroad. I spent two months traveling in . Europe, and these two months could not have been better spent, for I now realize the signifi­cance of that old truism — that travel is broadening, It affords a traveler a better in­sight into life and prepares him for a full, rich life at home. It is an opportunity to study different people, their habits, their customs, their culture, their past and their present, and admire the i r architecture, their countries’ scenic charms. To sum it up in a few words, it is an education. But come, I must begin my begin my story, and I trust you will remain with me in my wanderings. Since the days when I wore short “pants” and went to grade school, I have al­ways dreamed of the day when I might make a trip to Europe, to Budapest and the Hungarian countryside. The fulfillment of this dream was one of my greatest am­bitions, for it would acquaint me with the country from which ray parents emmigrat­­ed some forty years ago; it would enable me to re-estab­lish old family ties; it would enable me to see how “the other half of the world lives,” and last but not least, it would enable me to see some of the cultural trea­sures and beauties of the ancient Hungarian democ­racy. Therefore, when Mr. Cin­­cel, District Supervisor, call­ed to my attention the con­test which was then being sponsored by the Verhovay F. I. Association, I immed­iately enrolled. Here, thought I, was the opportun­ity to fulfil my ambition of visiting Budapest and Hun­gary, as well as seeing other parts of the world. Without delay, I began working with Mr. Cincel, the thought of winning a roundtrip to Bu­dapest always foremost in my mind. After several months of interesting and fascinating work, during which time prospects were interviewed, policies written and payments-collected, the contest came to an end. I eagerly awaited the results of the contest. Soon the winners would be notified. Several weeks passed and then I received a telegram signed by our worthy Presi­dent, Mr. Joseph Darago, in­forming me that I had won, and instructing me to pre­pare for the trip. I was overjoyed! Here was the By: Wililam C. Kohut opportunity I had been long­ing for — the fulfillment of a life-long dream come true! I was to sail July 23rd from New York — our goal was to be Budapest, the Fairy City on the Danube. I spent some time in pre­paration for the long jour­ney. My relatives in Hun­gary and Czecho-Slovakia were notified of my coming; my passport was received from Washington, D.C.; my wardrobe trunk was care­fully packed and shipped to the pier in New York, and other details attended. I paid my respects at the Ver­hovay offices. My relatives and friends in and around Homestead were bid good­bye, and then a big Farewell Surprise Party was tender­ed by my fellow members of St. Elias Choral Club. Boy! What excitement! I also calmed one young lady, who was fearful that I would take the holy “vow” with some Magyar lass beside me. I told her not to worry as I be­lieved myself strong enough to withstand the Magyar girls. Finally the day arrived when I had to leave Home­stead on a journey that would take me some four thousand miles away from home — to the land of my forbears, Hungar y. On Thursday morning, July 22, 1937, Mr. Kalman Erdeky, whom I will hereafter call “Kal” and another Verho­vay winner, called at my home in his sedan. After having helped me pack my luggage in the car, we were ready to leave. I hurriedly rushed up the steps of my home and entered to take leave of my parents. It was very difficult, but I fi­nally managed to bid the family goodbye. I took my seat in the car and with Kal at the wheel, we were soon under way. There was no turning back now. We were on our way. We left Pitts­burgh at nine o’clock that morning and after an eleven hour drive which took us across Pennsylvania’s pie­tur esque “Alleghenies”; through the State Capital at Harrisburgh, and thence through Allentown and Beth­lehem, into the state of New Jersey. We spent the night in New Brunswick. We left at eleven o’clock in the morning, and within an hour’s time, New York’s famous skyline came into view! (To be continued)--------o--------­ATTENTION! !— MEMBERS! ! CHICAGO, ILL. BRANCH 398 Your regular monthly meeting was called for Friday evening, October 22nd at 8 P.M., at the residence of Mr. Joseph Irocky at 723 N. Sawyer Street. I was invited to the meeting and looked forward with great pleasure to meeting all of you and had made plans to have one of you enter our contest to win one of the free tickets to Hun­gary. Only three members were pres­ent. Namely, Miss Elsie Soo, Miss Margaret Irocky and Mr. Joseph Irocky. Mr. Géza Maros­­sy was also present as a guest and was very much interested in the Verhovay doings, in fact we hope that in a short time he will attend the meetings as a new member and become a leader of Branch 398. I don’t know whether if was lack of interest or other more important business which kept the members away from the meet­ing. I hope very much that at the next regular monthly meet­ing, the members of the Branch will all be there without excep­tion. ON NOVEMBER 19th, FRI­DAY EVENING, THE BRANCH WILL HAVE A BUNCO PARTY. No member should be absent and everyone should invite friends and neighbors to the party. I advise the members of Branch 398 to get together, get acquaint­ed and become good friends be­cause this is the only way to make Branch 398 one of the im­portant pillars of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association. By the way, those absent at the meeting on October 22nd, missed a wonderful treat, for Mrs. Iroc­ky served tasty home-made tortes, cakes and coffee. Fraternally yours, Lorant Gyorffy Dist. Manager BRANCH 477 NILES, O. This is I. M. Nosey, speaking — the mystic one, w!|o sees all, hears all and tells everything. Since this is my first attempt, I hope it is a success. At our dance on October 16th, everyone young and old, had a good time. The committee in charge sure made themselves proud by mak­ing the affair such a complete success. DID ANYONE notice how busy Mr. Monos was, running up and down the stairs? It’s no wonder he didn’t have vim enough to dance! JULIA NYAKO sure did do a splendid job of checking, even if the young fellows were hanging around. How do you do it, Julia? Why don’t you give the hoys a break? And did you notice how often the ticket collectors were chang­ed? The boys must have got their share of dances there! The girls selling, flowers had quite a bit of competition from one of the opposite sex, • who tried to show them up. .What’s wrong girls, did it end in a draw? I thought that doctor’s orders are supposed to be doctor’s or­ders MARY NYRE. Did the music get the best of you or couldn’t you resist the hoys? I hear the dry cleaners had quite a job, Sally. Next time have him wear his overalls. What do you think of the orange and black color scheme which the decorating committee used to dress the ballroom up in its Sunday best? I believe that they should be elected to do the job again. How about it? It was too bad that two of our good-looking girls could not at­tend. That’s alright MARGARET and SADIE. Make up for it at our next dance. A couple of days later a general check-up was made. At the meeting GRACE BACOS and HELEN BAKO seemed to be in an awful rush. What’s wrong girls, wouldn’t the boys wait a little longer? DON’T FORGET MEMBERS, OUR REGULAR MEETING IS TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 7th AT THE HOME OF MR. MONOS. Our Secretary has in­formed me that it’s to be an im­portant meeting, so if you want to know what’s going on, you’d better be there. So-long ‘till I find some more news. I. M. Nosey DON’T BE FOOLISH! WHY DELAY? Do you want your family to receive this double indem­nity insurance? CLEVELAND, O. FALL FROLIC Held by English Branch 366 of the Verhovay F. I. Association Sunday Nov. 7, 1937 at the VERHOVAY HALL 8637 Buckeye Rd. Cleveland, Ohio Adm. 35c. — Free checking Everybody Invited
