PAGE 6 July 29, 1937 ^— • ^VerhovayJournal WHO’S WHO IN DEARBORN LETTER OF THANKS July 2, 1937 To the Verhovay -Fraternal Insurance Association: I would like to express my gratefulness to the Verhovay Organization for giving the younger generation an op­portunity to visit Hungary. The Verhovay has begun a task which elevates and fosters the growth of Hun­garian spirit and thought. It has started the movement in the right direction and has succeeded in arousing en­thusiastic response from the young Hungarian-Ameri­­cans. The Verhovay has stimulated their curiosity in Hungarian things through encouragement in the for­mation of branches within the organization where the younger Verhovay members can come into frequent con­tact with one another. This has helped them to weave their Hungarian heritage in­to the American environ­ment. The younger generation must realize that they play an important role in preserv­ing the Hungarian spirit on American soil. The Hun­garian nation, with its rich, ancient culture whose roots are deeply implanted and anchored in world history, has supplied a great number of talented and famous men and women who have helped to enrich culture of civiliza­tion in every possible field. The Hungarian youth is a­­ware of these things because organizations like the Ver­hovay have guided them to the realization of the funda­mental facts. The descend­ants of the Hungarian-born parents in American form the generation whose mem­bers must carry the Hungar­ian heritage further into the future here in America. The task will be left to the Hun­­garian-American youth, the second generation, for im­migration of new stock from Europe cannot take place, and our fathers and mothers represent the last of the orig­inal group of those who were born in Hungary. This work requires enthusiasm and spirit and the Verhovay has nourished both feelings. The Verhovay has aided the younger generation greatly by sponsoring a con­test whose winners are to en­joy a trip to the Motherland of their parents. Those of us who are so fortunate as to place in the group which will make the trip, realize the adventures that await us. Having already made one trip to Hungary, I know that one cannot use pen and paper to adequately relate the impressions, the emo­tions, and experiences that That popular young lady, Elvira László, has moved from our midst. A new home was purchased on the so-called “right side of town” by her parents. Farewell, also to her father and brothers, Joseph László, Sr. and Joseph, Jr., and Oliver. We hope you come around to the good old “south end” occasionally. * Notice to Joseph J. Hor­vath of Branch 366. Don't you wish you knew who the “Ferrett” was? And what gives you the impression that the Ferrett is a “Her”? Is it because of the way the column is written which gives you a clue to the femininity of the writer? “Did you hear, or have you seen?” Thanks loads for your interest. I thought no one besides members of Branch 429 read our popu­lar^) Who’s Who. I’d like to take this opportunity to say that I believe your column is original in that you take a seeming (?) in­terest in everything you read in the Journal. It’d be fun to know you. * Speaking of these swell columns — let’s give three big cheers to the “Let’s Go Snooping on Verhovay Ave­nue” column also. Cheerio! * Congratulations to two of our members on their “State of Holy Matrimony.” Stel­la J. Szabó has left the midst of the lonesome gals to tread her way to blessed events. Also Genevieve Bores, who married John Fischer and has been spending the past two weeks in the wilds of northern Michigan on her honeymoon (they only come once in a lifetime — Oh, one receives while traveling on Hungarian soil. The trip which the Ver­hovay has made possible will be a bright, unforgettable memory in the lives of the fortunate winners. Enrich­ed by their experiences, they will become the leaders of H ungarian thought in Arrferica, leaders who are so necessary to keep the second generation Hungarian in spirit. I cannot write and express the joy and anticipation I feel when I think of the com­ing trip. As individual mem­bers of the group, we can perhaps repay the Verhovay for its generosity by doing our utmost to bring praise for its name and making our­selves worthy of the honor of being representatives of the Verhovay in Hungary and throughtout the trip. Sincerely, Charlotte Mersky well, it’s always nice to be in love). * Speaking of the Szabó girls, Mary Szabó is leaving for Paris, France, to take up dress designing from the French coutieres. Beware girls, when she comes back, she’ll make us all look like scarecrows after a dust storm. * Notice to members of Br. 429: Your secretary is work­ing hard and would appreci­­ate it very much if you could bring the dues to her house, as it can readily be under­stood that she has not the time to collect them. The address is: — Jolán Lucas, 10037 Burley Avenue, Dear­born, Michigan. This will he appreciated greatly. The dues go into the home office the 26th of the month so that any dues should reach the home of the secretary about the 20th of the month. Please co-operate with her in this '— one of the most important duties of her of­fice. Welcome to our ranks, Alexander J. Itofe and Sonia Yanoskey, two former mem­bers. These folks have found the Verhovay group too good to forget, so they have returned to the fold to be among the lucky mem­bers. * The parents of Mrs. Yolan Horvath, and in-laws of Steve, her* 1 spouse, left for Hungary last month. They took their Oldsmobile with them, and will they have fun being “tops” over yonder. Branch 429 is eagerly await­ing their return, sometime in the fall, and we hope to cap­ture their stories from .r broad. * Edward S. Horvath, our “chief shut-in” — “Bugs” to you mugs, has been made associated editor of the “San” paper. First a re­porter and now an associate — well, that’s really the “bugs”. He was also on the entertainment committee for their open house for former patients of the “San” and the guest of present patients. “The Smoothies” and “Un­cle Neal” of radio fame were present among other notable acts. The Horvath crew, Steve and Yolan, Nick and Helen, Jeannette, Mary, Mother Horvath, Jolán and Louis Lucas and all the lit­tle grandchildren — “Skip­per” in person, attended this magnificient affair. * This is not directly about one of our members, al­though at one time he was one of us, and the Ferret feels it will interest the ma­jority of you — especially fishermen. Leonard Wolcott went fishing with his uncle on the Detroit River last month and caught four perch and a corpse — a corpse is one who has been dead some time. Imgaine the dreams the poor chump had that nite? Well, Louis Lucas, Joseph László, Jr. and all you other disciples of Izaak Walton — you still want to go fishing? * If there are any other com­ments to be made on our column, let’s have them. And does Branch 429 have to represent such a large city as Detroit (and Dear­born)? What’s the matter with all you Publicity Babes in Detroit — say from Br. 356, Social Club Branch 36 (although occasionally you put in a “spiel”), Branch 435 of Wyandotte and all “youse other guys”? Let’s have a real chin fest next month. After all the Verhovay Home Office is giving us a mighty nice privilege by let­ting us have permission to write about our doings, go let’s give 'em a treat and try to outdo each other in our activities. (This' is not a pep talk — just a “come-on” to try to drag you all out of your shells.) The Ferret (?) CLEVELAND, O. Branch 366 Minutes of our meeting of July 12, 1937.
