April 25, 1940 Page 9 MINUTES OF APRIL 5, 1940 BRANCH 366, Cleveland, Ohio The meeting was called to Drder at 8:45 p. m. by Pre­sident Joseph J. Horvath. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap­proved. Mr. Paul Bolesic made a report on the Card Party of March 7th. We made a pro­fit of $12.00 and still have part of a bottle of whisky and one case of beer, which will be sold and the money jut in our treasury. The beer vas a donation for door prize, but was forgotten and not raffled off. Mr. Bolesic’s re­port was accepted as read. Communications were read and voted upon. One was from the West Side Szent Imre Sick Benefit Society for their 35th Jubilee on April 28th. This was rejected. The one from the Szent Ilona Sick Benefit Society for their 45th Jubilee on the 19th of May was accepted and Messrs. Joe Nagy and Joseph Horvath will be de­legates. Mr. Horvath then turned the meeting over to Vice- President John Fritz Min­utes of the last Executive Committee were read and approved. Our picnic was again dis­cussed. Mr. Steven Jacob, undertaker, was asked to donate tickets with his ad­vertisement on the back. Ads will again be solicited and a Picnic Annual printed. Prices for printing this book­let will be obtained from various printers before the business is placed. With reference to the column, “Past, Present and Futuristics,” which appears monthly in the Verhovay Journal, Mr. Horvath stated that his last column was cut to the point that it was ridiculous and contained nothing of interest nor value. Mr. Horvath then read a letter which he received from Mr. Jozik, Assistant Editor of the Verhovay Journal, stating that it is his desire to do away with so-called gossip columns and print a paper containing more literary value. In re­gard to Mr. Jozik’s state­ment, it is the feeling of all the members that we would rather read comments per­taining to club affairs and members of our lodge, than have the paper become an outstanding literary journal, which would be of little in­terest. For literature we can readily obtain books from the public libraries and read magazines. The Recording Secretary Miss Frances Schwartz, was asked to send the minutes Verhovayak Lapja of the meeting in to the Verhovay Journal for pub lication. The Auditors were asked whether or not the books of the Financial Secretary and Treasurer had been audited. Not having been audited, they will be done by the next meeting. The Treasurer’s report was given and accepted as read. Mr. Karnya stated that we made a profit of $2.90 on the Fish Fry of March 15th. Our Sick Visitor, Mr. A1 Kovach, asked for $7.50 for his services to date. He made fifteen calls at the agreed rate of 50c each. This expen­diture was approved and paid. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10.45 p. m. Respectfully submitted, Frances R. Schwartz, Recording Secretary. •--------------O-------------­BRANCH 434, South Bend, Indiana SPORTS as submitted, by J. J. Hoffer Bowling: South Bend is tops again.

Also appointed was Árpád Csontos (that’s I) as Publicity Manager. In Deutschland es ist Di­rector von Propaganda. Which makes it incumbent upon me hereafter to inform you all of the “doin’s” here at Homestead, via these Ver­hovay Journal’s columns, and which therefore auto­matically sounds the death knell for Geza Kolozsvary (a ghost writer if there ever was one), and relegates him to the limbo of forgotten men. In conclusion, an admo­nition to the fair ones, from Steve (Duke) Kuru: 1940’s open season For the ladies faár; Hope is springin’ for this reason, Single guys beware. Merry widows, stately maidens Serious or arch. You with all your beauty laden, May lead a wedding march. Ladies now be up and doin’ In this year of fate.
