V —VerhovayJournal PAGE'14 WHO’S WHO IN DEARBORN BRANCH 429 It is with great regret that I write this piece of news. Our “chief shut-in,” Edward S. “Bugs” Horvath died on October 11, 1937 at the age of 22 years. This news was so unexpected and was such a shock to all of us, that-I could not bring myself to write about it in the last is­sue, I have somewhat re­covered from the announce­ment, and am able to bring to all of you his last impres­sions at the “San.” Edward was born October 28, 1915 in Scranton, Pa. He was always an engaging young chap, full of the old devil himself. His best indoor sport was playing practical jokes on his family and friends. His greatest am­bition at the time of his graduation from high school was to be a great surgeon. His best friends are said to have been warned of “that blood-thirsty, Dr. Horvath.” After graduation, lie was a gas station manager, and a rather funny incident hap­pened, which impresses me as typical of “Bugs.” One day he was snipping a handful of very thin wire with a pair of tin-snips. When asked what his inten­tions were with regard to the wire, he casually mentioned that lie was going to Barber College and he was just do­ing some home work. Even at the “San,” that fun-loving nature of his could not be stilled. On one occation, I remember “Bugs” giving a patient at the “San” a-sugar­­coated almond with the un­derstanding that it was ne­cessary to take before a cer­tain operation. All these distances of rnis­­chief-making should not give the impression that Ed was just an over-gröwn kid. He had his serious moments, and his optimism in the face of his illness was the most wonderful thing about him. He was planning on taking a course as a chemical engin­eer at the time of his death. He was a reporter, and later associate editor on the “San” Paper, and would have been promoted to Editor in the spring. Edward was improving beautifully when he develop­ed pneumonia, and with an infected lung he didn’t have much of a fighting chance. As it is, Our young man fought for 17 days, 11 of which was spent under an oxygen tent, before his weakened condition failed his great courage. May our friend rest in peace, and may his dauntless spirit carry him forward, wherever he may be. Branch 429 will miss him, for his cheerfulness, and his cour­age, for a long time to come. * ■*. * Mary Rakoczy, our ever­­faithful member, attended a very formal dance at the Hotel Statler. As for her friend Cecelia Herman, she participated in the Hair Dressers Convention at the Book Cadillac Hotel. I guess the Verhovay Home isn’t good enough for these good-looking damsels; they must be seen among the 400. Oh, well, I gqess they de­serve the best of everything for being the best membert of our branch. * * * Stephen Schnable, who was recently transferred from the Wyandotte Branch, has moved to Chicago to work. However, he does not, wish to be transferred to the Chicago branch, which speaks well for Branch 429. Too bad, girls, that you couldn’t meet him be­fore he moved away, as he was a very good-looking blond. He has promised to come to our dances or parties so let’s have one soon. * * * Jolán and Louis Lucas paid Mary and Mike Batyik a visit at their farm recently for shooting practice. Mary is quite a good shot, al­though Jolán is not far be­hind. The men didn’t do so well because they had too much to drink the night be­fore — they say. * * * Our dignified president, William G. Cseh (“make that William G. Cseh sound big,” he says when the minutes are being read) is heading for the last round-up (get­ting hitched) with Stella Metelski on November 20. Congratulations, Bill and Stella. * * * Our charming “Long-Dis­tance” girl, Mary E. Hor­­vath, had a coming out party on October 22, (her appen­dix came out). The young lady was consoled by many beautiful flowers from all her grieving (?) friends, several letters and a lovely gift from Ann V. Biro ot Scardale, N.Y. * * * Jeannette Horvath and Jolán Lucas are extending a special invitation to Elvira László to join the dramatic group of the Girls Club. How about it Elvira (Mae West)? We need one of your type. Special notice to Zoltán and Oscar and the other boys from Branch 36..^. The girls from Branch 429 want their weinie roast, or do you want to change it to a skat­ing party? You’ll have to buy our lunch anyhow, so don’t think you are getting away with anything. * * * If E. G. is married, as the boys in Branch 36 have been telling us, how can he be engaged to M. R. of Dear­born? Is he a bigamist or Something? * * * Congratulations to Joseph J. Horvath for thinking up the name “dead-head.” I’ve been trying to think up a name for them for a long time. * * * W elcome to our midst, Phantom, Jay Gee, (he’s an old timer, but he has been away for a while) and I.M. Nosey. But please try to get your columns in the Eng­lish issue so we can all read your comments — not just a fortunate minority. (Pub­licity material must be in by the 15th.) To date we have the Ferret, Tattler, Snooper, and Joseph J. Horvath, that potential Winchell, who dares to sign his name to his column. Speaking of “dead heads” Joe, I wonder how long it would take you to de­termine the sex of a FER­RET. Ordinarily, a ferret refers to a polecat or wea­sel, but on the other hand, a ferret has been known to be a female gossip. So you see your powers of deduc­tion were not wonderful after all. Nevertheless, dear Joe, your ribbing me has made others sit up and take notice of our columns and write one of their own. * * * A few members of Branch 429 have been thinking of going down to visit the members of the Cleveland Branch 366. We will go if you treat- us right — you know, give us something to eat and stuff. * * * We find William C. Ko­­hut’s (Homestead, Pa.) col­umn, “A Verhovay Itiner­ary” so enlightening or some­thing. Too bad it can’t be in the English issue so more of the members could read it. * * * NOTICE TO MEMBERS: The “annual elections” meeting will be held Sunday, December 12, at 2:30 P.M. at the Sugar Bowl, corner of Salina and Lowery. We wilt have beer and other refresh­ments after the meeting, with dancing for those who like it. The officers of the club would like to have every member present as this is the most important meeting of the year. JOLÁN LUCAS, Sec. * * * Well, Branch 356, I’m not the only one after your branch. Did you notice J. J. Horvath’s (Br. 366) re­marks about you fellows? Don’t let him get away with November 25, 193£ that; show him your branch is as great a branch as their». It would be kind of tough to take what he said about you sitting down on the job, I happen to know there is good stuff in your branch, so how about organizing and doing something. We’ll help you from our tiny branch, (if you need it) and we’ll show those Cleveland members that you can be just as active as they are.
