March 14, 1940 THUNDER over 30 BRANCH 40 WANTS GAMES Verhovayak Lapja Page S “Learning without thought is labor lost; thought with­out learning is perilous.” —Confucius. A dream that has become a reality is the amalgama­tion of the Verhovay Social Clubs of Branch 36 and 356 due to the fine work of the committee consisting of Mr. Richard Phillips, Stephen Lutz and Andrew Heck of Br. 356 and Mr. Macker, Andrew Gallovich and Yours Truly of Br. 36. This amalgamation was whole-heartedly agreed to by members from both branch­es with the idea to organize into one of the largest and finest social clubs in the Delray area, sponsor the fine work of Verhovay in all athletic and social events, and foster the closer frater­­nalism of all true Verhovay members. The first meeting of this newly organized Verhovay Social Club of Detroit is set for Wednesday, March 20th, at 8:30 p. m., to be held in the Verhovay Home on the corner of W. Jefferson and West End Avenues. All old members and also new mem­bers wishing to join are urged to attend this impor­tant meeting as it will per­tain to the election of offic­ers and plan a social event to be held after the Easter holidays. Introducing the personal­ity of this month, Mr. Zoltán Baki, who will have reached his 24th birthday by the time he reads this issue. A very likeable chap with a good sense of humor, which he attribute to his com­panionship with Ernie Lada (especially when they put on that great exhibition of wrestling). Bowl’s for the Verhovay No. 2 team, and also played a bit of base­ball, a cut-up in his profes­sion which is that of a butcher, and has ambitions to excell in his trade so he can go into business for himself.

All teams are asked to enter be­fore this date. The American Bowling Congress has its great tour­nament in Detroit and bowl­ers from all parts of the nation are entered to vie for the highest prizes in bowl­ing. This is a spectacle worth watching as it will consist of the largest bowl­ing auditorium in A. B. C. history, with 64 alleys which will be housed in the Coli­seum at the Michigan State Fair Grounds on Woodward Ave. Admission is a small charge and every bowler can afford to witness this great event. The article written by Mr. Frank Brogley, who wishes to sponsor the organization of the Mid-Western Baseball League was greatly appre­ciated. This league would be­nefit the Verhovay Associa­tion with its popular adver-To date The Martins Ferry V. A. A. Basketball Team has won seven games and lost two, one in the second round of the Valley Tourna­ment at Wheeling, West Virginia. We are competing in the New Athens, Ohio and the Martins Ferry, Ohio Tourna­ments. Before the baseball season comes we should like to play a few Verhovay teams from other cities. • * * * The baseball league that is planned for the Eastern part of the states has at­tracted the attention of managers from Walker­­town, Windber and Martins Ferry. I should- like to hear from at least three more so as to make up a league of six teams. Managers of baseball teams, please send me a card. Fraternally yours, VAL KONYHA, 475 Burlington Road Martins Ferry, Ohio, Business Manager of Branch 40 * 36 ST. PATRICK’S DAY Fair Tara’s slopes are green with Spring From whin and bog the thrushes sing. There’s sudden rapture in the air, The shamrock’s trefoil’s everywhere. All sparkling lake and limpid stream Enchanted vales like Eden seem. Griefs are forgotten, hearts grow gay. As dawns again St. Patrick’s Day. Unseen hosts throng this ancient hill. Fierce pagan chiefs yield sceptre, will. Stern Druid priests learn gentler lore— That Love would rule forevermore. Majestic still the figure stands, The kindly saint, with blessing hands. New millions own his spirit sway With each recurring Patrick’s Day. ELLA A. FANNING SICK, NERVOUS CRANKY “EVERY a MONTH" ; Then Read WHY Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Is Real “Woman’s Friend”! Some women suffer severe monthly pain (cramps, backache, headache) due to female functional disorders while other’s nerves tend to become upset and they get cross, restless and moody. So why not take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made especially to help tired, run-down, nervous wom­en to go smiling thru “difficult days.” Pinkham’s Compound contains no opi­ates or habit-forming ingredients. It is made from nature’s own beneficial roots and herbs—each with its own special purpose to HELP WOMEN. Famous for over 60 years—Pinkham’s Compound is the best known and one of the most effective “woman's” tonics obtainable. Try it! Using in all the big cities and create a bigger member­ship, as everybody enjoys the sporting and social ac­tivities which the Verhovay sponsors. This league would be com­posed of teams in the Middle West area. As responses have been few there is only a limited time to organize such a league; all informa­tion may be had by writing to Yours Truly. Let’s have some replies to this ad. So all managers and captains please write and let me hear your views on this idea. We I can put this over if every­­: body will cooperate as noth­ing can be better than a rivalry between Verhovay teams in neighboring cities and states. The Detroit Verhovay Br. 36 Baseball Club has been sponsoring this idea for a number of years, and will expect to put a strong team into this league, as every­body will be back with more experience and with a few other additions to our base­ball roster. With nothing left to write and signing off till the month of April, Yours Fraternally FRANK A. SZOPKO, 8556 Vanderbilt Ave. Detroit, Mich. ROUND ABOUT TOWN (With the Snooper of Branch Beaver Falls, Pa.) I’m going to dedicate this column to my dear cousin, Norman Reader, Jr., who was in an automobile ac­cident and is recuperating. I hope it will prove pleasant reading for you, “Norm.” “Birthday Greetings”: To the grandest daddy in the world. His birthday falls on March 10th. He will be 52 years young. “Medals to”: Mr. John Nemeth, Secre­tary of Branch 484, Beaver Falls, Pa. and to President Joseph Vestrocy, Appreciat­ed Member of Branch 39, Beaver Falls, Pa., are both to be congratulated for the notable work they are doing. They surely are getting new membefs for our Ver­hovay. Messages: To “Silent’s” assistant: The girls aren’t a bit shy. We were so rushed we had to mind our work. There was no time to observe faces closely. In fact, I can’t re­call you at all. You see we “flew” from one table to the other so frequently that faces fairly were blurred be­fore our eyes. By the way. did you get to sample my chocolate cake or didn’t the winner cut it? (My choco­late cakes are considered good, if I must say so my­self) . Do you ever hear certain songs or expressions that just about make you die from laughing because they recall specific incidents? Wei?, every time I hear the song “Holy Smoke, Can’t You Take a Joke?” I have to laugh as it reminds me of a certain person. No mat­ter what he says, if people take him too seriously he says, “Holy smoke, cant’ you take a joke?” The other eve his girl friend was danc­ing with a big husky fellow. Well, the certain person tap­ped the shoulder of the burly one and said, "Tag dance, sir.” The big fellow turned and looked him over with the blackest of looks. Our friend “M.” nearly withered away from fright and said weakly, “Ho—ly s—s—moke, c—can’t y—you t—t—take a j—oke?” Since Maestro Hal Curtis bought over the Monterey in Ambridge, “Spinach” can be seen there often, since her boy friend “S.” is in the orchestra. Which bruette prefers to go to the Waffle Shop (the delight of the hungry after jitter-bugging) because of a certain tall blond who fre­quents the place? Fraternally yours, Helen E. Vestrocy, 1509 Fifth Street New Brighton, Pa.-----------o----------­BRANCH 395 NOTICE In the past our Branch permitted members other than officers to collect dues.
