July 25, 1940 That land of that long-vanished dawn And left him wandering still alone In the night where the street-lamp shone? January 25, 1940 — GARDEN ISLAND Oft I drift to a far-off place; where there is no illusion of space. My soul escapes the bonds of time and shatters the illusion of race. I hold communion with Nature’s life; my spirit blends within the whole Then I rejoice to hear the wind, to hear the ominous thunder roll! Also: May 9. 1940 — THE WORLD IS MINE! February 29. 1940 — INDIAN MARRIAGE February 15, 1940 — BUTTERFLY March 14, 1940 — TO JOSEPHINE * * * George Kocsis in his article, “Plan to Honor Memory of First Hungarian Settler in Bethlehem,’' in the March 14, 1940, issue of the Journal, described vividly how the first Magyar settler came to Bethlehem in 1746, and rescued missionaries from the red men. (At the same time, our attention was focused upon an assortment of interesting local news of the different branches, such as, ’ROUND ABOUT TOWN, by Miss Helen E. Vestrocy; THE 376 HERALD, by John “Dirk” Fülöp; THE HOMESTEAD MERRY-GO-ROUND, by Géza Kolozsvary, et cetera.) Miss Margaret Vargo, of Ida May, West Virginia, in her article, “Glimpses of Washington,” appearing in the May 30, 1940 issue, gave a splendid description of the scenic and architectural beauties of our nation’s capital. Miss Betty Carol Balega, of Shamokin, Pennsyl­vania, has called our attention to the efforts of The Hun­garian Reference Library, New York City, and wrote informative articles of historical interest. There was that titled “Replica of Stronghold to be Dedicated,” in the May 30, 1940 issue. It told of Fort Augusta which played an important role during the French and Indian Wars, and of a replica being built in its commemoration. One of Miss Balega’s poems, quoted below in part, appeared in a recent issue (June 13): “POETRY—THE GIPSY” Unknowingly at first he hears Words sweet as dripping honey, Then head not bowed but tilted back He hears—the world is sunny! And carefully he reaches forth A hand and pen to seize her— He holds her fast and writes his poem, And gently then he frees her! Alexander J. Goydan, in his “My Travels Abroad with the Verhovay”—the 1939 winner group—lias entertained readers with the accounts of his itinerary in Europe. This list, although seemingly long, is only partial. It tends to illustrate that the variety of articles were necessary in order to create greater interest. If we have succeeded in making in the Journal an obvious improve­ment, it is due to the unceasing efforts on the part of our contributors; each has striven to put forth his best. Our endeavors, on that acount, have not been in vain, thanks also to the abilities of Mr. Jozik who has done so much to elevate the Journal to a high rank. It is now entirely up to the contributors to exhibit encouraging material, both of the light and mature sort, which will lead us to the ultimate goal for which we have been striving. Whatever may be said of the final outcome of the experiment of the editors—an experiment representing the ardent hopes for the betterment and increase of the Verhovay organization—it bids fair to remain one of the great milestones toward achievement. The conscientious efforts of Mr. Jozik can never be obliterated nor ignored; on the contrary, they will con­tinue to arouse our utmost admiration and respect.
