BRANCH 439 Johnstown, Pennsylvania A meeting of Branch 439 was held Sunday, March 2d, with an attendance of twenty-fivé members. After the meeting, a foursome table tennis game was started. I was too busy keeping score, and so I could not listen to Steve H. proposing to one' of the young ladies. But the poor lad was turned down flatly. Four young men have been signed up for our rifle team, which now makes a total of ten members on the team. The te$ni was to meet Friday, March 7th, for practice at the usual place.

Secretary. i Pittsburgh Verhovay Overseas Club News Verhovavak Lapia MARCH 15 COMMEMORATION With the advent of the Ides of March, Hungarians throughout the world are preparing to celebrat? March 15, the Magyar Independence day. The significance of this day is analogous to that of the French “Bastille Day” or our own “Fourth of July.” In keeping with the spirit of this occasion, the Pittsburgh Verhovay Overseas Club is planning to commemorate fittingly this event with a program to be held March 18, 1941, in the auditorium of the Hazelwood Hungarian Club. The main address of the evening will be delivered by a well-known Pittsburgh Hungarian journalist and poet. Members of the Club will participate in the pro gram, with topical anc musical offerings. Tea wil' be served after the program. A cordial invitation is extended to all members, friends and their relative to attend this event. There will be no admission charge. Congratulations! Miss Gallovich of Detroit, Michigan. We are very happy, to say the least, that through your untiring efforts you have brought about the formation of the Detroit i Verhovay Overseas Club. Out sincerest and best wishes to your Club. May it serve successful the purpose for which you joined together. We take pride in your achievement and an added ! measure of inspiration to endeavor to be worthy of the precedent. Once again we salute you, Miss Gallovich, and also the members of the j Detroit Verhovay Overseas Club! Those members of the Overseas Club, who traveled abroad before the outbreak of the present war, are indeed rich in memories— memories that will be recorded in history. We were among the last to witness a Europe that probably will never revive. Boundaries have changed, people have migrated by the millions, standards and life in general have undergone great transformations. Some of the countries passed through or visited have ceased to exist. Some of them may revive with changes; others will be recorded in history. Yes, memories unfold as we look at the maps of Europe. We rejoice in seeing the Our South Land- By William B. Yuhase I have read keenly the articles in our paper dealing with the Northwest and the Far West, excellent articles by Andrew C. Simcho and Albert Steinmetz, respectively; and, being one of a wandering tribe, along with spring approaching nearer and nearer, I long again for a trip South, south of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi. All spots in the South fascinate me, but Charleston, S. C., has a distine! magnetic pull of its own. It is an old city so far as U. S. cities go, settled by French, Germans and English. It was here where Colonel Kovats, of Genera) Washington’s staff, was killed in action. The original Charleston was laid out in huge plantation sites or land baronies. The plantations hugged the areas between the Ashley and Cooper Rivers. The Ashley, as you note, is not a 'ong river, and the natives look upon it more or less as an inland estuary fed by a brook. The plantation owners tried their hands at growing indigo, rice and sea island cotton, and prospered more or less. In the last quarter of the 19th century a Dr. Pratt, geologist, found phosphate rock in the rivers as well as on the lands between the Ashley and Cooper Rivers. Immediately a boom followed, the plantations changing hands over and land of our fathers almos i double the size we knew it At this point we are writing a new chapter to our memoirs hoping that “some day...” The Pittsburgh Verhovay Overseas Club will celebrate its first anniversary April, 1941. At our last meeting it was generally decided that we make an issue of it, and proclaim the fact by making merrie. We are planning a “let yourself go” affair, or “what is your talent?” night. Everybody will participate. Preceeding this, general election of officers for the coming year will take place. It is urgent that all members be there 100%. The date: April 17 (Thursday), 194Í. Bring your friends! Fraternally, EDWARD KURJACK, Secretary. over again, finally winding up in the control of some phosphate mining company. The real lovers of the soil stood aghast as steam shovels stripped the fertile soil of their beloved plantations, in order to mine out the phosphate matrix. However, Charleston boomed while this was going on, since the plantation owner moved into his farm house, on the Battery. The mansions were being filled with works of art and the buildings , themselves greatly beautified. However, like a bolt from the Southern skies, in the early 1900’s some miscreant found a rich deposit of phosphates in Florida. It seemed and sounded so unreal to see this industry move out to richer fields, but it did to such an extent that after 1920 the mines all closed their operations around the ancient city. Charleston is the same city General Sherman’s 15th Army was so anxious to ease into. They- vowed the city would be burned, its site ploughed up and sown with salt. The general was at one time stationed at Fort Moultrie (pronounced Mooltrie by the natives), and had lots of friends in the vicinity. It has been written that to spare these ^ friends, as well as the city, was one reason he veered from Charleston and headed towards Columbia, S. C. instead. Today the city still basks in the warm coastal sunhine and prides itself in showing off its ancient splendors to you Yankee and Northern tourists. Its beautiful magnolia gardens are known the wide world over, for the lovely magnolias, azaleas and camellias. And how the birds do revel and sing in this wonderland! Some of our returning marines from the last jaunt overseas pronounced it a perfect Valhalla for the soldiers of the sea. Editor’s Note: Andrew C. Simcho writes in every issue about the Northivest; Albert Steinmetz tor ites in the first issue of every month about the Far West; now Mr. Yuhase has commenced a series of articles on the South Land, and we hope these will come in regularly. These interesting series are proof of Verhovay patriotism to our country. There is much natural beauty here in America; we need not go to foreign countries to find it.
