Association April 26, 1941 — Branch 479 Madison at Hungarian Hall. Music by St. Louis West Side’ Orchestra. — 8 P. M. till late. — Tickets 30c — At door 35c — Children 15c THE 376 HERALD (PROP. AND ED., JOHN “DIRK” FULOP) (NOTE: The following was written over a year ago, but not published until now, when A. Jozik had just taken over the direction of the Journal.) As per telephonic prearrangement I was to meet Albert Jozik, Fsq., for the purpose of having luncheon with him. We were to meet at the whirlpool where the tides of two great thorofares meet. I was trained from early infancy to take a bath before such occasions as meeting editors. Therefore, on the morning of the day I was to meet A. Jozik, I took a bath. My bathtub must listen to Bob Hope’s radio program, because when I got into the tub it remarked, “Egad! the same thing year after year.” As I dressed, I began to worry because my finances and etiquette were at a low ebb. I had my own idea of editors, and the recipe I had concocted of one was as follows: One baldhead wreathed with a garland of grey hair, a derby hat and rimless glasses that shield stern piercing eyes, a nose that is a cross between "The Great Profile’s” and Bob Hope’s, one bobbing Adam’s apple, long arms and longer legs. Add one pair of scissors, a tube of paste and a flask at the hip (purely for mind stimulation). Put all this into one black suit, mix well, add spats and stir with a cane. (I wonder whether Aunt Mary would accept this recipe?! This is how I had pictured Mr. Jozik, so I worried all morning at my place of occupational endeavor, which fact seemed to give pleasure to my fellow employee, the woman whose face looks like she slept on it. Well noon hour arrived, and I proceeded to the rendezvous, with mingled emotions, said Emotions being fear, worry and anticipation, to say nothing of curiosity. When I arrived at the appointed place, someone grabbed my band and started pulling it off, but it wouldn’t come loose from my wrist, so the person let it go, which person turned out to be none other than ... you guessed right. My emotions changed quickly to surprise, consternation and amazement. I was surprised to see that he was smiling and human, amazed that he had hair and no glasses, and I was filled with consternation because my idea of an editor did not fit him at all, and he was the first editor I had ever met. I was befuddled, I was in a dilemma, but we were going to lunch. When Albert (he insisted right off that I call him Albert > suggested a well-known cafeteria I became relieved because I had had visions (bordering on a nightmare no less) of menus printed in French and a dollar and a half for a bowl of soup. For lunch ... eon (there’s that word again—Emily Post influence) I had the usual fare ol a hard working man, Mr.... ah ... Albert had a five course dinner, and each course consisted of a salad. And I thought that vegetarians were only fictional. Well, as I was about to inject some nutriment into me, I noticed that my companion was praying (Surprise No. 47). When he had finished praying, I glanced at his collection of salads and asked him if he had been praying for Verhovayak Lapja A THANKFUL EASTER As I sit down to write this poem I feel very proud to have a home So that I could write a few true facts Which each and every one should start to act. I mean a prayer each night and morn, For Easter is near and WE have a home. So many children are homeless and poor But we in the U. S. A. Are blessed by our Lord alone. We do not fret about bombs from above But instead a bright sun is shining above, With flowers soon to be growing All around our path, With birds a-flying, bees a-trying a flower to attack, We all should give a great big cheer That our good Lord loves our land. For this is a country of Liberty, Guided by God’s, and not Satan’s, hand. PATRICIA YOKAY Age 10 — Carolina, W. Va. MEMBER HALAS SENT TO ARMY SCHOOL Sergeant Elmer J. Halas (Halász), loyal young Verhovay, on April 2, 1941 left for the Air Corps Technical School, Chanute Field, Rantoul, Illinois, where he was to enter classes for a three months’ course to become a Link Trainer instructor. After the completion of the course, Sergeant Halas will return to Pittsburgh- Allegheny County Airport, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he was stationed with the 3d Corps Area Air Corps Detachment prior to his leavrain so that the grass would hurry up and grow. Then my herbivorous companion, by way of making conversation, began to expound concerning the salubriousness of salads and vegetable in general. They tell me that he never mows his lawn at home, and after seeing him eat a salad I can believe that. Next summer if you see him with a blade of grass stuck between his teeth you’ll know that there is a shortage of salads somewhere, or everywhere. Then this graminivorous editor, after having me sworn to secrecy, told me of his plan to revolutionize the silk industry. He produced a pencil and started Writing figures on the table cloth. After a while he stopped and then proceeded to explain these figures. He told me that according to his figures he could eat three thousand times as much mulberry leaves as a silkworm and therefore produce three thousand times as much silk. His main difficulty, he stated, was that he did not know whether his stomach could regurgitate the masticated leaves and spin them into cocoons. “Anyway,” he said, “mulberry leaves are good.” (I wouldn’t know.) For dessert this human herbivore had .a glorified salad (to get back to our luncheon—ugh! that word) consisting of three vegetables, twelve fruits, cottage cheese, chopped nuts, all six delicious flavors of Jello, mayonnaise, whipped cream and ad infinitum. And thus ended the luncheon of Herbivore Jozik and Carnivore Fulop. ing for Chanute Field, and will there be an instructor in the Link Trainer. No doubt many of our readers have seen pictures of the Link Trainer, which is a stationary shell plane connected with various mechanical devices which when put into operation make the plane go through the many difficult motions of a real plane thus enabling the learner to acquire experience .in blind flying and gain flying time while cm the ground. Having successfully learned to maneuver and operate the Link Trainer, the learner becomes a full-fledged pilot and is ready to go on his own. It is the operation of this instrument which Sergeant Halas will teach upon his return to Pittsburgh-Allegheny County Airport. Member Halas was promoted from First Class Private to Sergeant late last year, and this is his second enlistment. Previous enlistment was at Langley Field, Virginia, from 1933 to 1937. at which air base Halas was a member of the 36th Pursuit Squadron and the 96th Bombardment Squadron. Sergeant Halas is a member of Branch 395, McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and in 1940 was president of the branch.--------------O-------------Insurance reports show that 66,000 death claims were- paid on insurance in force for less than a year. Insurance or no insurance, none of us know when we are to be called. Get all the insurance you can while physically fit, as there may come a time when you will not be able to obtain that which you know you should have. The knowledge that we have adequate protection for our loved ones eases our conscience and gives a general feeling of contentment.
