Con­sidering that attractive mer­chandise will be awarded the winners in lieu of cash for those who prefer it, the Arrangement Committee fondly hopes that a large number of women will eager­ly enter the Contest. Those eligible to participate are members who belong to one of the 82 branches in the CHICAGO DISTRICT, ex­cluding Supreme Officers, Directors, District Organizers and Home Office Employees. The Committee in charge of the Membership Drive re­quests those members who would like to enter the Con­test to file their intentions with the District Secretary, Mrs. Louis Sabo, 11934 Lowe Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, or the Home Office, 345 Fourth Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsyl­vania, as soon as possible. We are pleased to announce at this time that Branch 96; Branch 164; Verhovay Sportsmen of Branch 164; Branch 130; Mr. Sándor Nyisztor of Branch 130, and Mr. Emery Szucs of Branch 25, Mount Hope, West Vir­ginia, have entered the Con­test. We are waiting to hear from the other branches so that the District Secretary­­can make a report of all contestants in the next En­glish Issue of the Verho­­vayak Lapja. If each mem­ber will put his shoulder to the wheel and interest one of his or her friends to join our Organization, your branch would be doubled in size. It is not impossible; it can be done! Let our motto be: “THE CHICAGO DIS­TRICT WILL LEAD!” Your efforts will not be in vain, for the prizes that will be awarded the winning branch­es or individual contestants are truly worth working for. Enter this Membership Drive NOW and go out to WIN! So much for the Member­ship Drive, with anticipation of your announcement to enter this Contest. The CHICAGO DISTRICT will have Jubilee Albums printed in commemoration of our Organization’s 55th Jubilee. Secretaries of the 82 branches belonging to this District are requested to send a 100 to 150 word biography of each of their branches. Include the names of those officers and mem­bers who have contributed their services towards the growth of our Organization during the past 55 years. Through this medium, we intend to preserve their names in the memory of all Verhovay members . Names of members and their families, in the form of salutations, will be print­ed in the Album for a contri­bution of twenty-five cents. Of the twenty-five cents the soliciting member retains five cents for himself. Fox­­example : If your soliciting committee collects one hun­dred names at twenty-five cents per name, amounting to $25.00, he turns over to the District Treasurer or Secretary $20.00 and keeps $5.00 for himself. The same system applies to advertise­ments solicited from busi­ness men. A full page ad will cost $20.00; a half page $10.00; one-fourth page $5.00, one-eigihth page $2.50. The member soliciting the advertisement is allowed 20% of the amount collected for the ad. Form your solicit­ing committee and begin the work. You can fully realize that the Committee in charge of the 55th Jubilee has tried its utmost to see that members who are taking an active part in this great enterprise will be reimbursed for their work.
