AGE 6 November 25, 1937' PAST — PRESENT By—Joseph J. Horvath Branch 366 Here comes 366 again! riid, after our Pittsburgh Trip, your correspondent is ust about able to walk — lever saw so many steps in ny life — thought that we vere climbing Jacob’s läd­ier. The climbing ability >f the McKeesport 395 folks vili never again be ques­­ioned. Their prowess is :qualled only by their per­­ection in their capacity as íosts and hostesses. They met us at the Sta­­:ion and took us up an in­­:line to get a bird’s eye view )f the City — then to the Some Office of the Verho­­ray Fraternal Insurance As­sociation, where we met Su­­ireme President Darago, re­viving an inspiring welcome rom him. It was very jood and thank you Prexy, Did Boy. Mr. Varga, Su­preme Treasurer, also of the Home Office, presented us ,vith medals commemorat­­ng the 50th Anniversary of :he Association. Mr. Ha­­asz of Branch 395, suggest­ed dinner and this hit the spot with everyone, especial­­,y with (Gabby) Joseph R. Simko. After dinner, President Julius J. Lenart of Branch 395 suggested that we visit the Art Centers, which we did and then to Radio Sta­tion KDKA and then on to the morgue. A few of the girls were not so healthy after that visit. All in all, it was a fine sunshiny day and we would like to thank the Committee composed of Julius J. Lenart, President and Alexander Goydan, Secretary of Branch 395 and members E m m a Novak, Ernest Debreczenyi, Eliza­beth Kanyusik, Anna Bogi, Elmer (The Great?) Halas, Helen Warosky, Betty Bara­bas, Bill Ferency (though I heard someone call him Frenchy), Margaret Dudás, Anna Pasternak, Goldie Schaffer, Elizabeth Orris, Irene and Margaret Biro, Pauline Mosher, Emma Pa­­romb and I think this little girl is the one who gave me these names, Anna Kanyu­sik. We think that the “Tattler” was among those present, because one of them was busy taking notes, inquiring about names, etc. She was my partner for a while. One of the girls gave her away. The boys from 395 apparently liked our girls, from what we noticed. Holding hands and the like. My impression AND FUTURISTIC was that the girls didn’t fol­low the boys’ cordial feel­ings. Of course, the “Tat­tler” was there. No wonder and then there are the boy friends to consider. Eh, girls? At any rate, we think that they are a swell bunch. At our last meeting Miss Elise Kolosvary, Branch Vice-President, presided, A Christmas party for the membership was decided up­on, for Saturday, December 18th. You know, Christmas tree, Santa Claus present, eats, drinks, games, etc. Mr. Joseph Barry Sr., of Branch 14, was a guest speaker, al­so Mr. Joseph Szalay and Mr. Alexander E. Thomas. The next meeting will be taken up with the election of new Officers for 1938. Your correspondent upon the advice of friends, decided to throw his hat into the ring for the Presidency of the Branch, against the in­cumbent John J. Balazs as­piring for his third term. We have a gentleman’s agreement. Whosoever is elected, will support one an­other 100% (we can now buy a new hat.) Heard that Edward Se­­pessy of our Branch is seek­ing the police prosecutorship left vacant by the election of Stephen Goboczy to Coun­cil. Good luck Ed. At this time our thanks to Joseph Becsi, Publicity Director of Branch 356 of Detroit, Michigan, for his invitation to bowl, of which we are to take advantage as soon as we can. We shall have to practice, if ,we don’t get a handicap. The battle-cry at the Club House is still “10 ounces of beer for 5 cents.” Manager Louis Czir used to be a window trimmer. He helped us to decorate the hall for our last dance. The Committee in Charge, did a wonderful job. A crowd of 350 people proved it. Mary Gergely and Rose E. Csak brought a nice crowd with them and they were all very nice people. We are glad that they came and we should like to see them at our Anniversary Dance in January. Seen at St. John’s Cathe­dral: John Kantor and his sweetie pie. Paul Bolesic and Betty Debacity, our eyes didn’t deceive us, they went in, arm in arm — looks bad — only one thing that we can conclude — Romance, Music fills the air. Inseparable (pair) Betty Pal and Alexander Horvath our baker boy. It won’t be long now. Must be catch­ing. Caught myself the other day thinking about it. Well, it won’t be a mock marriage next time. Lucky Guy, you Stephen Szabó of 396 Jacobs Creek, Pa. To Miss Snooper: We hope that it really isn’t what is implied. We are glad to see you with us. What became of “The Ferret” last month? Rab­bits beware, maybe she’s a hunting. Why don’t we hear from Chicago, St. Louis and more of these big little towns, surely someone should jot down a few interesting items. Verhovay Branches in and around Cleveland are send­ing delegates to a joint meet­ing to discuss the advisabil­ity of holding a Verhovay Day on Buckeye Road. Br. 14 will be the host. Our Anniversary Dance will be held on January 16th, 1938. The dance commit­tee will be selected at our next meeting and we think that A1 DuBray who played at the last Anniversary Dance will swing the tunes again (The big apple, Har­lem style), or A1 Tanias’ Hungarian Radio Orchestra. They’re both good. We wish to,thank Helen Gaidos for her patience and graciousness. We all ap­preciate it. Lest we forget — amongst those making the trip to Pittsburgh, were Jos. Nagy, Joseph (Gabby) R. Simko, Irene Kovács, Mary Fejes, Julia Mák, Gizella Merk, Rose E. Csak, Mary Gergely, AI Kovach, Marge Single­­ton and two other girls whose names slip the mind. Thought one’s name is Es­ther and the other Marge. Margaret Haller worked so hard at the dance she didn’t even have time to take a twirl. Margaret Sanders and Johnny Cake were dancing often — to­gether. Also at the dance Louis Balazs, Michael Va­­land who gave us a good ex­cuse for not making the trip. Joseph Evans was there, with his ever ready smile. Elise Kolosvary V. P. as well as his honor John P. Balazs with his lady friend. Helen Veres and Mary Frederick trying to crash a dance Armistice Day. Still waiting for news flashes by Mr. Shir. At the party of Ladies’ Branch 361. Among those whom we recognized were Helen Kovach and her mo­=Verhovay Journal— ther, Elise Kolosvary with her mother and brother, alvin Karanya, Alexander homas, Mrs. Misek and Mrs. Kamenar looking very chic with her pink apron. Mr. Kassy our Poet heard that the Smithsonian Insti­tute wants his pipe. Steve Hajdú bowling without the Mrs. Heard that they call him Hindoo. (Magician maybe). Some of our talented members: Frank Pokorny, newspaper writer as well as director of the Hungarian program on station WADC, Akron at 1:30 P. M. every Sunday afternoon. Didn’t ask the McKees­port folks if there were any Hungarian programs on any of the Pittsburgh stations. I wonder who the little girl was who decorated one of the stair’s newel post with a cuspidor at the Home Of­fice? Yes, she was from McKeesport. It was perfectly obvious, that the Hon. Prexy from 395 likes to hold hand. Gab­by trying to give Lincoln’s Gettysburg address at the top of his voice. We all agreed, he was terrific. We are all wondering how those pictures turned out? May we remind our McKeesport friends that although the pictures may not be an ob­ject of art, let’s not blame anyone but ourselves. Speaking of art. The mu­seum in Pittsburgh is one of the best of the ma,ny we’ve seen. The building itself is an object of art. Just a little “nudge.” We know that there is plenty of room for improvement in this column and your corres­pondent could most likely accomplish some of it if pro­vided with a typewriter — no age limit — nor degree of Decrepitude barred — loan it to us and we’ll do the rest. John Harcher ace plumb­er, Branch 366, claims that he could stop a leak in Con­gress. Matt Miller demon politician of Branch 14 with his daughter Mrs. Helen Hajdú. Incidentally Helen and Mrs. Czir are expert bowlers. They bowl good till the seventh frame and then we hear they threw the gutter balls from then on. John Wieland former Treas­urer of Branch 14 was at the hall a few days ago. Saw Helen Bos way bowling. How is your mother, Betty, Tiny and rest, Helen, and how is your Old man? Mr. Kali returned from Europe the other day. He must have left his American accent there. • Hungarian Civic Club at the hall the other day — re­cognized a couple of mem­bers — Miss Belle Jakab and Miss Ethel Kolosvary. We should like to con­gratulate Mr. August Bes­­senyey of the West Side Branch on securing these high class members. Hear that Mike Bokenyi is run­ning for re-election. Mike io a good boy. He took the job when none wanted it. Also, Irene Kovács is mak­ing a very efficient Secre­tary. Rumors are that Mary Fejes, AI Kovach, Betty Pal, Paul Bolesic are also in the field. Good luck to all of them. All paidup members better come down, it looks like a hot meeting. Refreshments will be served after the meeting, we hear. The next issue of the journal will come after Christmas, so, we want to take this opportunity to wish all our Fraternal brothers and sisters a most Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year, full of the Blessings of health and wealth.
