I take this month to dedicate my column to a most charming r.deserving couple, Anne and Al. A1 Ttk; Mm ©een a member of Branch 1»!U fer over four years. H* ?layaA with Verhovay’s Soccer TMhr which were actire before the SpoAhsaen Branch was organized. Al was preaasi J the ^rigiui.l ui ear Jag held 1» >rgaa*ze a sp'«; tranch of 1TJ and X>a missed few uaoWäfiga» <f any, held Thereafter. Our first baahuMw* w**<n owes mbst of Ks success hr um other than Al. He went about makitag aw*a»*ement» for equipment, found • suitable gym. boe&ed practise ganw?s, located a« ideal tourw**m*it. and helped coach the boyf to victory. Last year t/he» Branch 164 Coasted two baseball teams, Al fury was mum a gee of one. He had qrjte a few bad breaks in getting his team together hut he managed to get them started. His terhi. V1G4, ended ia third place, which isn’t so bad. At meetings, Al can be cisinted on to suggest good a«A novel ideas for entertainment. After a suggestion of his is aigrecd upon by the other member», he is willing to carry them dit for the benefit of all. Anne Chizmadia, th« other half of this coirSlinati/4, has only been with * thj* past year but in that *ifdrt tin* we have come to lag ..nor a»4 «njoy having her with u* She has a sweet, engaging persoOlity and a very pretty face, which is her passport into our hearts. As with most Verhovav girls, Anne will always do her share in all club activities. You may wonder why Al Tury and Anne Chizmadia were chosen to share with each other the trnme introduction. They became man and wife at a ttmple ceremony held August 3d, May I introduce to you with %e greatest of pleasure. Mr. and Mrs: Albert Tury? Al, perhaps, holds the record amongst the Sportsmen for introducing the most new members fcwto the branch. As I am informed by our senior secretary, Al’s first move as a husband was to double his Verhovay insurance. Verhovay Branch 1B4 is proud to have members like these two, end we sincerely wish them health and happiness together. On August 24th, several members óf the Verijrvay Sportsmen of Branch löt, visited the newly wadded eo' pie in their home and »resented them with a handsome gift v/Ytük both received graeV«sly, MEE'ítfWS been no meeting as yef htH a« I am informed our '• i&ial Wtivities will be put on a 3W»W basis at our first October VtthWteg. I *?» also informed that we will «Range meeting places and will )». the guests in Mrs. Soo’s privat* dining room. Tbt* step is a very wise move, due to the fact that the address ia Öt a central location,, and we ar* A» hopes that the home .atwill bring more members to our gatherings, officially known as meetings. Writing about meetings, I am requested to announce that our lodge will hold a social, Friday, September 6th, at 333 W. North Avenue, after the regular senior meeting. Everyone is welcome. ATTENTION. LAOY MEMBERS! October 5th ia our jubilee and our senior management is very much in need of your fine cooperation. Please notify our Senior President, Mr. Irocky, 723 N. Sawyer Avenue, at once that you are willing to cooperate. Please do so right now! Show your Verhovay spirit! BOWLING Andy Janovich, Secretary-Treasurer of the Bowling League last year, called a meeting of all the bowlers on Friday, September 16th. Most of the last year howlers were present and quite a few new ones, Andy Janovich was reelected secretary-treasurer with the help of his wife who made the novel cards announcing the meeting. AH arrangements were put through a formal vote. The results I now publish. The first game will be bowled ert Tuesday, September 17th, at 9 P. M. AM games will be played on Tuesdays at the Monte Carlo Recreation Center at Lincoln and Eelden Avenues. Arrangements are to be made whereby the bowling will start at 8:30 P. M. instead of 9 P. M. Thirty-three games will be bowled in the entire season with the same rules that governed last season. A few more women bowiers are needed so the women can have separate teams, and therefore will not hinder the men and will have a prize kitty of their cwn. However, if not enough women join, the same arrangements as last year will have to be made. There is still room for more howlers and, if any more are interested or if any of your friends wish to bowl, please notify Andy Janovich, 1418 So. Ridgeway Avenue. The sooner you sign up the sooner you will make things easier for Andy. BASEBALL The M.Y.O. did it again. At their picnic held August 18th, the M.Y.O. played Verhovay and beat xis 6 to 1. The game should have been titled “The Comedy of Errors,” as that’s what composed most of ■■the plays. i The weather was inclement and the game .was played under bad conditions, but after the game was over everybody had a good time át the picnic. The team has been busy playing at least two games a week, winning the greater percentage of them. There are still quite a few games to be played, and once more I am asking for more cooperation from the ballplayers. Please try to be out for the rest of the games as the season is almost over. NEW MEMBERSHIP We - are glad to announce that Mr, Geza .Marosy, the young husband of, the. form,er Elsie Soo, lias, jóined our organization. Many of us will remember him ás one of eur umpires who umpired a game for us in the Humbolt Park league, several years ago. With Mr. Marosy having joined our organization, the Soo family is 100% Verhovay. Branch 164 is very proud to have another 100% Verhovay family in its membership. I am also informed that Mr. Mike Popovits has joined us. Mike Is a senior student at Purdue University and, “Believe you me,” he speaks Hungarian fluently. He promises that after his university studies are over he will be prominent at all meetings and social activities. Just as I am typing this article I received a notice that a young Hungarian lass, hailing from Joliet, Illinois, has just joined our t ranch. Her name is Margaret Paracsi. Margaret seems to he a very popular name among the Verhovay girls, but we always have room for more. I promised Miss Paracsi that I would “pop” her with a bottle of champagne if some one supplies it when we welcome her officially on Sept. 6th. * * * It is not all fun to be a Verhovay correspondent, but being in public service I have to take the bad occurrences with the good ones. I have received several letters inspiring me about the new venture of Branch 164 which is to take place on the first of the newyear. I mean by this the magazine that will be the official Verhovay 164 news magazine. I hare also received an invitation from a young , man whom I have met one or twice only to go to another gentleman’s home to meet a third gentleman, whom I have never seen before. Now, we young married women do not make a practice of ; accepting invitations to strange person’s homes from individuals’ who don’t even live there. I learned my etiquette from a simple, good Hungarian mother, and I sincerely hope that this invitation was written in haste and not as an insult. * * *' VACATIONS Vacation -time is nearing its close. Marvin Kunstadt has spent the last two weeks of August in Cadillac, Michigan. Olga Chudek, our secretary, gained a few pounds in Benton Harbor, Michigan, while Frankie Kantor has spent his vacation at the Aragon. In closing, I would like to remind everyone NOT to mias our Jubilee to be .held on October 5th. On this day we promise you ail a grand and glorious time. Just me, s MARGARET STANGRET 1427 So. Sawyer Avenue Chicago, Illinois Publicity Agent.-------------O—---------Forebearance is a great virtue. In this work we should overlook the, many little mistakes that are bound to occur. We should always be willing to concede that others have ideas that are worth considering. Never join with your friend when he abuses his horse or his wife, unless the one & to be sold, and tbe other to be buried. —Colton BRANCH 503 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS It seems tha-t after each monthly meeting, Tony Kovács and Steve Lovenyak have an engagement at a West Side poolroom, where Tony demonstrates his tactics by beating Steve at billiards. However, Mr. Lovenyak, on Friday evening, August 16, “drew” the first game with Tony and then, accepting a challenge, trimmed Mr. Kovács in the next six consecutive games. Beatrice Stanko and her sister, Eleanor, should try to arrange to attend meetings more often. Wo haven’t seen them for quite some time now. Anne Talaber and Irene Mohapp rushed into the meeting, thinking they could leave early. But they quickly decided to remain until it ended. President Joseph Sanoshy kept his promise to bring the meeting to a quick close—it being such a very warm evening. Ann Csontos, judging from her prize (money to you) awards for her suggestions where she is employed, might soon be on the BRANCH 40 SCHEDULES THREE SOCIALS Martins Ferry, Ohio Branch 40, frequently heard from thru its social and athletic activities publicized in the Journal, is again keeping itself in the fore by setting the dates for three social events in the near future. On September 2, that is, Labor Day, Martins Ferry »nil hold a HUNGARIAN dance at the Hungarian Hall. The high light of this day will be the baseball game between Martins Ferry Verhovay and Cleveland Verhovay, the game to be played at Mill Field, beginning at 3 p. m. Then, on September 27, Friday evening, the Martins Ferry Baseball Team will sponsor an American dance at the Hungarian Hall. This dance should bring out all the jitterbugs, as a well known band will furnish the scintillating swing numbers for the dancers. Finally, on October 12, Saturday night, Martins Ferry Verhovay will hold a HUNGARIAN dance at the Hungarian Hall, the music to be played by a prominent Csárdás orchestra. Members of nearby branches and friends are invited to participate in the festivities of these three Branch 40 affairs. Fraternally, VAL KONYHA. Business Manager tist of large stockholders, so we hear. Ann has won over a dozen awards this year. Congratulations! Ella Mészáros and Margaret Miller (Molnár) haven’t been seen around for several months. May we see you at the next meeting, girls? A favorite rendezvous for some officials after a meeting stands right across the street from the meeting hall. Here, in a delightful parlor (owned by a member, Mr. Peters) President Sanoshy, Seer© tary Balogh, Treasurer Petrovitz, Sr., Social-Treasurer Kovács congregated on the 16th, to discuss current topics. Sylvia Horvath is to go into training next month at a hospital, after completing some of her studies at Loyola University. The best of luck to you, Sylvia! (At present she is vacationing in Michigan, taking a well-earned rest after a heavy summer session at school.) The fact that James Radi, Jr., has not shown up at recent affairs leads one to believe that he is busy on week end trips to Indiana. He is keeping his promise made earlier in the year that he would be occupied during the summer months. Anyway, Jimmy, come around now that September is near. VERHOVAY OFFICERS ATTEND CONVENTION Officers of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association attended the annual Convention of the National Fraternal Congress of America, held this year in Baltimore, Maryland, August 26, at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. This Congrfess is composed of eighty-five of the leading fraternal benefit., societies of the continent, domiciled in every part of the United States and Canada. The interests of 6,000,600 members are centered in its membership, with assets amounting to on© billion one hundred millions, of dollars. The National Fraternal Congress was organized in 1886 in the Riggs Hotel, Washington, D. C., and Leroy Andrus of the Ancient Order of United Workmen was its first president. The, Baltimore session was presided oyer by a woman president, Miss Frances D. Partridge, Supreme Secretary of the Woman’s Benefit Association. Progressive plans were discussed for the promotion of fraternal interests on the continent. Among them was a new fraternal code providing for uniform state regulation of insurance societies. The Code has been under consideration by this Congress for nearly a year. It will be presented to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners at their meeting in December. The city of Baltimore made every preparation for this convention which brings within its gates the executives and officers of. this important group; whose interests cover the charitable and benevolent features of the fraternal benefit system which include Sanatoriums, orphans’ homes, old people’s homes, indoor and outdoor recreational centers and the legion of social welfare plans undertaken by the various societies. —The Scribe of Nemesrado
