November 25, 1937 PAGE 7. ‘VerhovayJournal BRANCH 356 DETROIT, MICH. IMPORTANT VERHOVAY ELECTION Branch 356 of Detroit opened their Fall season of activities by holding a Hal­loween and Get-Together Party at the V erhovay Home. The branch wishes to thank the members and their friends for their re­sponse. There were re­freshments, novelties, and music for dancing. The place was neatly decorated, and a real Halloween at­mosphere prevailed. The music was provided for in a novel way, and it proved successful. The unicpie feature of it was the includ­ing of a microphone which came into great use, the re­production coming over two loud speakers. A large por­tion of the program of the evening came via the micro­phone. President George Noch of Branch 356 welcom­ed the Verhovay members and their friends and made a short speech which was not inappropriate. He then introduced some of the of­ficers of the branch and cer­tain members present. There was supposed to have been an amatu er pro­gram, and altho it was not a failure, having a little suc­cess, it was due to the fact that many were “mike shy.” Those that weren’t made out alright. RICHARD PHILLIPS was the master-of-cermon­­ies, and GEORGE NOCH for a short time, discarded his dignity as President, to participate in the fun, and he sure was great. JOE ESTINKA took over the mike for a while to be Mas­sacre of Cermonies until he ran out of jokes. MISS MARGARET HORVATH, a member of Branch 356, who was one of the prize winners to take that trip to Europe in the Verhovay Contest, was giv­en a costume, prize. On December 1, we are going tc have a meeting, Miss Hor­vath. Due to the fact that my Alma Mama lost its first foot-ball game of the season, thus losing its bid for nation­al prestige, some of the members at the party thought it was for this rea­son that I was so quiet and remained in the background. This was not exactly the case. I usually ac„ that way at all affairs. I know this is a social handicap, and I hope to overcome it some day. This correspondent wishes tc apologize for that last ar­ticle which appeared about I the getting of the signals straightened out between the organizer and Branch 356. 1 talked to this organ­izer at the party and I found out what conditions exist. It seems, then, the trouble must be with us, or some­thing. It was found out that he is responsible for the large membership we have. And so the apology to him. Thanks are due to MAR­GARET EHASZY, HELEN NOCH, JULIA KOPINA and WALTER for their help in preparing this party. We wish to express our sympathy to the family of the late EDWARD HOR­VATH. He was a member of the Dearborn Branch, and was a former member of Branch 356. He was also a writer to the journal. To J O S E P H J. HOR­VATH, BRANCH 366: You said' that Detroit was no longer a “Slow Town” (I’ll say not) and that should not account for my pessimism. On the contrary, it has a lot to do with it. The fact that there are so many outside interests, it is pretty hard to keep our organization,where u should be. If you had our problems to contend with why your morale would be so low you’d have to have suspenders to keep it up. I don’t like to be pessimistic. Usually, I’m always optimis­tic about everything that we undertake. We’ll get going yet. You said that there must be a bunch of “dead heads” in our branch. Here, here, we relent that. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that. I think we have a swell bunch, only we can’t seem to ggt started right now. If we get started to “click” once, we sure are going places, and then we’ll show you a thing or two or three. Well, anyhow, I read your column, and it is a good one. On November 3, Branch 356 held their monthly meet­ing, and it was the last meet­ing until December, when the most important meeting of all will be held when there will be the election of offi­cers. This last meeting which was held, proved very productive, and our situa­tion was thoroughly dis­cussed. An important par­ticipant in the discussion was Miss C. M., who took time out from her studies. Ich danke. And speaking of taking time out, I would like to see someone else take time out from something. I mean I. S., a colleague or some­thing of C. M. Don’t re­member I. S., but folks say there is an I. S. in 356. I.S., I. S. That reminds me of a song, x. S. AMUGGIN. Well, how about it, I. S? Wednesday evening? I mean Wednesday evening, December 1, Verhovay meet­ing. Election of officers and everything. Besides planning on par­ties, dances, etc., we have a high class idea of sponsor­ing an excursion up north to a nationally known winter resort. And now fellow-members of Branch 356 this *may be my last article to reach you, so I would like to express my thanks to the members for their co-operation. My two previous articles carried pessimistic notes which just as well could have been op­timistic if conditions were different. Collectively, our members proved to be a poor aggregation to represent the Verhovay Fraternal Asso­ciation. Individually, we have the finest members of any branch. If we could only fuse all these individual interests, we could have the widest scope of activities and be the most active and pro­gressive branch in the en­tire organization. If we ever get started, I don’t think any branch will compare with us. We have great potential pos­sibilities. So in December we will hold our annual election of officers. From all indica­tions it points to be the most important election in the history of Branch 356. All organizations, at one time or another, had their low points. We had ours, so let’s get go­ing from now on. This will be your opportunity to elect the people that you want to run your organization. The last meeting of the year, and election meeting, will be held at the usual place, the Verhovay Home, and will be on Wednesday evening, De­cember 1, at 8 o’clock. All are urged to attend. Thanks, and so long and so short. Yours truly, Joseph Becsi-----o----­ATTENTION BRANCH REPORTERS Please take notice that the English section of “The Verhovayak Lapja” is pub­lished on the last Thursday of each month. We are more than glad to publish every Branch’s news if same reaches us NOT LATER THAN ON THE TWENTY-SECOND OF THE MONTH. BRANCH 383 BUFFALO, N. Y. The meeting of November 11, 1937, was opened by Branch President Joseph Taylor and the minutes of the previous meeting were read by Miss Anna Acs, the Recording-Secretary. Owing to the efforts of the members pitching in and helping to make last Sum­mer’s picnic such a success, our Treasurer now boasts of the largest bank balance of the Branch since its or­ganization eight years ago. Good work members. Con­gratulations ! A vote was taken on the new checking account but was set aside as unfinished business until the matter can t)e taken up with the District Mgr., Mr. Nicholas Takacs. > A vote was also taken for the purpose of determining upon a representative, for Branches 121 and 383, to Europe during next Sum­mer. Mr. Joseph Taylor, President of Branch 383, was chosen to fulfill this honored privilege. Our last year’s winner, Mrs. Rose Gabel was compelled to decline the honor owing to the serious illness of a member of the Gabel family. So now, we shall all unite and get busy, as always, to put Joe in front. Let’s go, fellows! Every new member counts. Secretary Stephen K a 1-man announced to all the members, that next month will be election of new offi­cers for 1938. After the large attendance we have been having for sometime, we are sure that we shall have some very close results in the voting. After this and some other minor busi­nesses, all those in attend­ance at the meeting, forty­­two in all, went to the “Rock Grill” tavern, owned by one of our new members, John­ny. The owner, in order to show his appreciation for the visit of the gang, treated all present to^ drinks and re­freshments and eats, the “party” lasting till early A.M. So, don’t forget, gang, another good time after the next meeting. DO YOU KNOW? That November 25th, Thanksgiving Day, is the an* nual Verhovay Dance, where all the Verhovay Branches from surrounding towns meet and have a great re­union? * That Joe Taylor was at the world series and was “soaked” one dollar a bottle for beer? It don’t take much for those New York­ers to recognize a “hill billy.” Ye better clean off yer boots the next time ye go to th< big city, by cracky, Joesip. That Mrs. Willie, the for mer Ethel Kecskes, attendee our meeting together witl her younger sister, just a: good looking as Ethel? That Mr. Kelley is back t< work after a long period o illness? That Charley Molnár ha< a big venison dinner at hi Blue Eagle Tavern? H bagged a 335 pound buck ii the Adirondacks. That it does this writer’ heart good to hear you mem bers bawl him out for no writing to the Verhova Journal. At least it prove that you read this pattéi Thanks, folks. Pete Young and Joe Kc vacs were also among thos attending the party at Johr ny’s, our luck to be workinj days, said they? But whet was Paul Valint? Also the new Short Radi Service store in Riversid gives all the Verhovay men bers a discount on all ele* trical appliances purchase there. See Charley Younj your writer. See you nee month. Charley Your-----o-----­DO YOU KNOW WHA INSURANCE DOES? Life insurance leaves dea to its heartaches. We ca not remove its sorrow, b we may prevent its financi disaster, for a function Life Insurance is to perp tuate earnings. The only equivalent power to earn by the toil hands and the ingenuity intellect is the ability draw an income from caf tal. Capital and labor, lin ed, work the world’s a vance, but work is short ai capital long. Capital shou have no vicissitudes but squandering. Its use transferable and its guara ty of performance is alwa possible. Men struggle on to he up capital, that they m rest from labor in enjoyme of its power to produce ■ equivalent to the earnings labor. Capital may produ income. Life insuran makes income produce ca] tal, even capital ready i vested continuing the p envelope without intem: tion. Protect your lov ones now!
