December 30, 1937. New Year's Resolutions At the close of the year 1937, We, the Verhovay Of­ficers and Home Office Force, most humbly rejoice and congratulate our entire membership on the wonder­ful success and progress that we have enjoyed during the past twelve months. We look forward expectantly and most hopefully for con­tinued advancement during the next few years and we hereby mutually agree to continue to put forth our very best efforts to hasten the day when each and every one of our Hungarian brothers and sisters will learn to appreciate the won­derful position that Verho­vay Fraternal Insurance As­sociation has been achieving. We will look back only long enough to congratulate everybody upon the marvel­ous progress that Verhovay has made during the recent depression. While we have seen many supposedly strong financial institutions encoun­ter most tragic difficulties, we have continued to for­ward march ahead and each year we have been returning annual dividends to our The Detroiter — Oscar Petoskey — The forgoing issues of the .Verhovay Journal have con­sistently carried queries of various columnists who seek to know whether or not is any spirit of activity in other groups “besides we three ac­tive branches.” Kindly per­mit the DETROITER to contribute to your pages in an endeavor to pinch-hit. (Here’s hoping he doesn’t strike out.) Having recently visited Verhovay Branches in Pitts­burg, Chicago, McKeesport, Fremont, and Cleveland with Zoltán Vincent we were sur­prised to find the spirit of friendliness and goodfellow­­ship wherever we went. Truly Verhovay is to us the personification of a fraternal insurance organization and we are glad to be a part of it. I wish to congratulate branches 39S, 429, and 366 for having such accomplish­ed writers. The “Tattler” with her “ta,ta, and cheerio” and the “Ferret” with HER whatsa matta” make me feel like an outsider. The De­troiter, however, gives his Columnist’s Award to J. J. Horvath for having contri­buted the finest article of the month. Come up and visit us. Let us show you De­troit and Verhovay life in the Motor Cjty. members. With the con­tinued support of our loyal membership, we feel most hopeful that within the next very few years our Verho­vay adult membership will be Doubled and our Junior Order will be Quadrupled. As our Hungarian people everywhere are celebrating the 900th St. Stephen An­niversary, let us, who are here in the United States of America, resolve that dur­ing the coming year of 1938, Verhovay shall still continue to advance by mighty leaps and bounds. After all, it is up to the entire membership to work together arm in arm, and shoulder to shoulder. As Verhovay leads the pro­cession, she blazes the way for others to follow. Some­day our Hungarian popula­tion will get wise to them­selves and we will resolve to merge and combine our forc­es and form a mighty organ­ization that will astonish America and take a deserved position as one of the larg­est and the very best frater­nal organizations in the whole world. It has recently been brought to my attention that in the near future very few Hungarian boys and girls will be found in Ameri­ca. This question is of vital interest to every Magyar who desires to see the Hun­garians hold a prominent position in the businesses of the nation. When this question was discussed at our meeting, it was pointed out that the foregoing state­ment is false. However, this was based on the theory that since there are many Hungarians in the United States the tendency would he to increase rather than decrease the Hungarian population here. So it should he hut it does not work out that way. I will grant that there will be more people of Hungarian descent but a majority of these will not be true Hungarians. You ask me why? Let me try to explain . . . The Hungarian youth of today cares little for the tra­ditions and culture of his parent’s native land. They know little of the history of Hungary and have less am­bition to find out. Of the language few try to master it, to try to read, write, and speak the Hungarian lan­guage fluently. Most of them can't read beyond a few lines while others stam­mer and stumble like a cracked phonograph record. Why is this so? The chd-VfrhovavJournal “BIG BUSINESS” has gone now on a sitdown strike in order to punish not only the American workers but also the Administra­tion (American Government.) “GOOD WILL TO MEN” — the carollers sang last week, — and in Washington the A. F. of L.---- CIO peace conference breaks up, with each side bitterly blam­ing the other. So our country al­ready distressed, faces the dismal prospect of further civil war be­tween rival labor organizations. THE YULETIDE SPIRIT has its evils, Sam Reggeli of Chicago said. Here’s his reason: Our Sam was happy last Thurs­day night even after two men walked into his shoe store and robbed him of $20.00. He was chuckling as the next customer came in. “I outsmarted those fellows” — he said. — “I’ve been robbed be­fore, always at Christmas time. This year I left only $20.00 in the cash register and hid $120.00 in one of the shoe boxes.” The customer smiled as Sam asked, “What’ll you have?” “I” — said the man, producing a pistol, — “will have the $120.” --0--­CONGRESS HAS ADJOURN­ED last week. In session since November 15, passed none of the major bills asked for by President Roosevelt when he called the “special session.” — * I dren can only learn these things if they can come to love Hungary and Hungar­ian culture, and I mean that word LOVE. Love of the Magyar should be instilled in their hearts during their childhood, for then it will de­­velope into a desire to know the history of “Arpad” and “István”. They will ask their parents to describe their homeland with its jlains, cities and beautiful Bu­dapest by the Danube. They will sing songs of the gypsies and the hussars, and of the days of old Hungary when its glory and prestige was at its zenith. Who is to blame that they do not konw? The parents? Or is it the influ­ence of modern America? I believe the fault lies with the parents for it is every child’s birthright to know these things and their par­ents, in many cases, have neglected to inform their children ...

What happened, “Tattler” did J.J.H. step on ur toes? Or was it u, who got a “bird’s eye-view(?) Fraternally “I. S”------o-----­— IT’S A FACT — By: Miss Mary B. Miller, President, Hospital Associa­tion of Pennsylvania Carelessness takes more lives than war, or automo­biles. It is the main cause of ac­cidents, which keep “exter­nal injury” near the top rank among causes of death at various ages. A meteor falling would wreak less havoc than one year’s accident toll. Two Wrold Wars like the last one would fail to equal its fatal annual levy on America. The germ of “accident” affects more lives than any other, except those of colds and other respiratory diseases. Someone is being injured while you read this line. As a cause of death, among those aged 15 to 24, accident ranks first; among all others, from birth to age 44, it ranks second. The death rate from injury among men from 50 to 55 is exceeded only by that from organic heart di­sease. Accident cost 111,000 lives in 1936 and left 400,000 persons permanently disabl­ed, so that $2,000,000,000 was lost in wages, and it en­tailed a $400,000,000 medical hill. It cost enough more in dollars and cents to main­tain every hospital in Ameri­ca for a year, and to pay for every type of medical care. DON’T BE FOOLISH! WHY DELAY? Do you want your family to receive this double indem­nity insurance?
