December 26, 1940 _________________Verhovayak VERHOVAY SPORTSMEN of BRANCH ---------------------------- CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -------------­Page 31 With deep regret I dedicate my December issue to the No. 1 Verhovay Family, headed by Joseph Darago, our President. We of branch 164 wish to ex­press our deepest sympathy to Joseph Darago and his family on the loss of his beloved son, who passed away December 13th in Akron, Ohio. I am sure that not only branch 164 but all Verhovay, and all good Hungarian Americans, mourn with you, Mr. Darago. Avenue. We have planned many high spots for this occasion, in­cluding Szepessy’s Orchestra, big gifts, moderate prices and good Verhovay company. MEETINGS My most important report con­cerns the December Senior meet­ing at which the annual election of officers took place. I’m glad to report, not only to 164 members, but to all my read­ers that many of the old of­ficers were re-elected. President Irocky, Treasurer Feifar and Secretary Kunstadt were re­elected to their positions, and a new face but an old timer, Frank Soo, was elected to the position of Vice-President. We all know him as “Duke's Pop.” Another new face, John Varga, is to head the Entertainment Committee for 1941. It is a pleasure to announce that Frank Kantor and Albert Tury were elected as second and third vice-presidents, respectively. The two are active members and real boosters of the Verhovay Sportsmen. The Bowling League elected a few of their players into active office. Captain Andy Janovich was elected recorder and John Kovach is the new auditor. Another Sportsman, William Feifar, Jr., received the title and the responsibility of assist­ant treasurer. I believe it in order to an­nounce that the Verhovay Sports­men will hold their election of officers and will entirely reorgan­ize on Friday, January 3d, 9:00 P. M., at 333 West North Ave­nue, after the Senior’s meeting. Please be present, Sportsmen, as your future depends upon this meeting. Our Senior meeting was in­teresting, not because we elected officers, not because refresh­ments were served, not because our new District Organizer Mr. George Toth, was present, but because branch 164 began another symbol of good will which we hope will go down along with other Verhovay tradition. The members will contribute donations towards Christmas baskets which will be distributed to little known members who are at present in need of assistance. We are proud of 164 and the originators of this deed, and I'm sure this will go on the records as a great accomplishment. Big arrangements were made so that this year's Christmas party will be bigger and better than ever before. This is the affair when Seniors, Sportsmen and Juveniles mingle together. A musical program has been ranging in age from 5 to 16. It will be interesting to note the accomplishment of our Ju­venile members, who soon will be active Verhovay Sportsmen of Branch 164. Santa Claus will be present with gifts for all and, after the show, the gypsies will continue the entertainment. Last call to all Sportsmen for our New Year's Eve Party at the Rainbow Hall, 333 West North NEW MEMBERS It has been a long time since [ -welcomed new members to our Fraternity. I welcome with open arms Cariotta Horvath, out of the land of Florida Sunshine. (Yes, she lives in Florida but her dues come to 164.) Three gentlemen, James, the kid brother of Paul Kantor, John Papp, our DeLuxe wafdrobe man, and John Kocse, Jr. Verhovay 164 is big but we al­ways have room for more. To you we give our heartiest greet­ings. SPORTS This reminds me that our bowders took a bus ride to South Bend, Indiana sometime in No­vember. I was promised a tele­gram from a few bowlers if our two teams came out on top. I stayed home all Sunday evening, but need I say, no telegram arrived. You see, I really don’t know what to say about this first match game. After all, I’m not South Bend’s publicity agent. < I met some of the members who made a trip to South Bend and they told me that they had a wonderful chicken dinner, lot of good speeches, and that a Verhovay team won the match. Being Christmas week, every­one is merry. Why remember that South Bend is on the map, too? I am also informed that our next big jump will be to De­troit, Michigan, where our bowl­ers will do their best to show the auto workers what 164 can do. No plans have been disclosed but President Irocky has big plans for the near future. Let’s hope • it’s good writing material for my January issue if I am re-elected publicity agent. I have finally emerged from 30 days in a Mail Order House and am glad to hear that a new contest will begin on January 1st. As our Senior secretary has promised to withdraw from com­petition, Verhovay 164 will be represented with two teams in this contest. We won’t stop until we hit the top. This is not a promise: This is determination to win out. Before I close I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and 1 extend the greeting of branch 164 to all of you for a prosper­­ous and Happy New Year. FLASH NO. 3 Bob Zubor was too sick to go to work but I guess it was only "Bowling Fever,” as he managed to get down to the bowling alleys. FLASH NO. 4 Louis Barna made a grand acquaintance at our big jubilee. It won’t be long before “Pop Barna is asked for his ‘O. K.’ ” FLASH NO. 5 We wonder if it was an urgent phone call that took Duke away from the bowling alleys or • if his high blood pressure caused his sudden departure. FLASH NO. 6 Through much discussion, our Senior secretary and I find our­selves related. He is my sister’s husband’s sister-in-law’s sister’s intended father-in-law. I don’t know what that makes us but it’s good enough for an invitation to the wedding. FLASH NO. 7 An invitation was extended to Tony and myself, but for what occasion was not revealed. Could it be a birthday, engagement, wedding, or w'hat, Frankie? FLASH NO. 8 A Sweetheart’s Dance is in prospect for Valentine’s Day. I can’t go with a husband, I’m told. FLASH NO. 9 This column of mine was sent Special Delivery Air Mail, and I hope to make the last edition of 1940 in time. Just me, Margaret Stangret, Publicity Agent 1427 So. Sawyer Avenue Chicago, Illinois. LITTLE COUNTRIES FLASH NO. 1 Hunting season is about to crose and those old stories are making the rounds. The story goes that Frank Kantor encount ered 200 wild geese and all he got out of it was a bruised face Ernie Kunstadt faired a little better; he got one rabbit in the season. Some say he bought the rabbit in a butcher shop. Steve and Andy Risko never got so far as shooting anything, as they were too busy polishing their guns. FLASH NO. 2 Just a few encouraging words to young Julius Jones, who has joined the U. S. Army for three years: Julius, we’re waiting to welcome home a captain so we can help you celebrate. BRANCH 395 McKeesport, Pennsylvania Branch 395 recently held its annual election of of ficers for the year 1941. The results of the election are as follows: President John Sabo. Vice-President Elizabeth Norman. Corresponding Secretary Alexander J. Goydan. Recording Secretary Anne Bogi. Treasurer Julius Lenart. Auditors Alex Meszar Theresa Lesnansky. The new officers will take the oath of office at the firsi; official meeting of the New ¥ear, to be held on Tuesday night, January 7, 1941. The group will meet at the usual place, the First Hungarian Reformed Church, at 8th and Stawberry Streets. Following the business meeting, there will be a so cial hour and luncheon in honor of the new officers. All members are urged to attend this meeting since the new officers will outline their plans for 1941. Be a 395 booster! Branch 395 shall hold business meetings only once Hitler has formally in- I ducted some more little countries into his Axis, But that doesn’t mean a great deal. Rumania, Bulgaria and the other minor Balkan countries are in peril of their lives. They must do december 28TH, SATURDAY what Hitler demands, or 8 p. m. to? - Homestead, Penn- submit ^ minta conquest It is one thing to force foreign ministers to sign pacts—it is another thing to get the people of those countries to avow the Hitler­ian philosophy. And, accord­ing to all the experts, the Balkan people hate Hitler even as they fear him. Worst blow to the Axis has been Italy’s fiasco in Greece. This has reduced Italian prestige to the van­ishing point. And, say some, it has brought with it the possibility of internal dis­sension in Italy. The Italians didn’t want war. They are suffering seriously from the British blockade. And a con­siderable proportion of the Italians heartily dislike Ger­many. It is noteworthy that the German press has lately begun to denounce Greece —Hitler may be coming to ;he conclusion that he will lave to pull his friend Mus­solini’s irons out of the Athenian fire. And, in the past, press attacks in the German press against other European countries have been the prelude to military action. In the long run, the Greek situation may prove a great boon to England. Reports say that the English are doing- far more to help the Greeks than they admit. They have been swiftly developing important air and naval bases on Greek land, where their planes and battleships can strike against Italy. Britain’s big trouble at home now is said to be lack of sufficient anti-aircraft equipment. Most of it has been concentrated about London, which explains why Germany has been able to carry on tremendously severe raids over the Midlands and elsewhere with few plane losses. It is believed the lack will be made up by spring.--------------o-------------­A Minneapolis dentist who used an instrument to record biting power found that it requires a 60-pound biting pressure to masticate a tough beefsteak.--------------o-------------­sylva be held by Branch 430, at St John's Hall, 10th Avenue and Dixon Street, with dancing to American and Hungarian music.
