Page 15 May 8, 1941 Taken at the extraordi­nary, joint meeting of the Board of Directors of the Verhovay Fraternal Insur­ance Association and the Auditing Committee, held on April 30, 1941 at the Home Office of the Association in Pittsburgh, Pa. Present are: Supreme Pre­sident Joseph Darago' Vice- Presidents Joseph Szalay and Albert B. Ari; Directors Frank Brogley, Dr. Joseph H. Prince, Julius Macker, Moses Csömör, Louis Vizi, Bert Kun, Andrew Dobos, Jr., James Siket and Stephen Lang; President of the Audit­ing Committee, Stephen Lu­kacs; Louis Hernitz and Julius Lenart, members of the Auditing Committee; and Supreme Officers John Bencze and Coloman Revesz. 1. ) At two o’clock in the afternoon, Supreme Presi­dent Joseph Darago opens the meeting and in a chok­ing voice formally discloses to the Directors that the extraordinary meeting is necessitated by the death of Supreme Treasurer Michael J. Varga. In his opening speech, he remembers the dead with reverent words, who, in his eleven years’ activities as Supreme Treasurer, merited the unequaled respect and esteem not only of the lead­ers of the Association but of the whole Verhovay mem­bership as well. He determines that during the functioning of the de­ceased Michael J. Varga, the first class financial invest­ments of the Association, and in connection with these, the progress of the Associa­tion, were in part due to the technical knowledge of the deceased as well as to his unselfish and enthusiastic­­industry, and for this reason today’s mourning means a serious and a well-nigh irreparable loss to the As­sociation. 2. ) The Board records in these Minutes the imperish­able merits of the deceased, and at the same time es­tablishes a commemoration of his self-sacrificing indus­try by announcing that they consider Supreme Treasurer Michael J. Varga the Asso­ciation’s dead and will take care of his burial. 3. ) The Board announces that they will take part in a body, at the funeral of the deceased, together with the members of the Auditing Committee, the Supreme Of­ficers and all the employees of the Home Office. 4. ) The Board orders that, as a mark of the Associa­­ion’s mourning, the Home Office be closed on May 1, 1941 until two o’clock in the Verhovayák Lapja afternoon, for the duration of the funeral. 5. ) The Board takes under consideration the question of filling the Supreme Trea­surer’s position, left vacant, and after a lengthy, tho­rough discussion covering every detail, resolve with a vote of eleven to one that they will advertise open bids for the position of Su­preme Treasurer, accordiflg to the conditions prescribed by our By-Laws, and sets the time limit for the submitting of bids, for twelve o’clock noon on August 30, 1941. The regular September meet­ing of the Board will decide over the judging of the bids received. 6. ) The Board authorizes Supreme President Joseph Darago to assume the posi­tion of Supreme Treasurer until the position is filled. 7. ) Resulting from the above discussion of the Board, they bring the reso­lution attached to these Minutes, in which they authorize Supreme President Joseph Darago to have ac­cess to the assets on deposit at the Mellon National Bank, accompanied by two other Supreme Officers, or two Directors, or two members of the Auditing Committee. 8. ) Every member of the Board remembers our de­ceased Supreme Treasurer, Michael J. Varga, in reverent words. At 5:30 P. M., the Supreme President closes the meet­ing. daa. Joseph Darago, Supreme President. Joseph Szalay, Director. Albert B. Ari, Director. Frank Brogley, Director.

A very sociable young crowd attended, and every­where pervaded the spirit of true Verhovay fraternalism. In connection with the dance, a vote was taken to select the most popular girl, who was to be crowned the May Queen, and Director Frank Brogley, who had journeyed all the way from Youngstown to be present at the joyous event, presented the winner with a beautiful loving cup. After the presentation, Director Brogley clearly and forcefully outlined the ad­vantages of being a member of the Verhovay, and admon­ished the younger genera­tions to prepare for the golden heritage which in not many years shall be theirs. The Director knew whereof he spoke, for he himself is of the younger generations. The enlightening and in­spiring speech was well taken, considering the lusty applause that followed its conclusion, and the officers of Branch 383 heartily thanked the good Director for the sacrifice he made to attend the occasion. Branch 383 has been a shining example of the tre-POE. You I? SAKE,I MOPE. YOU'RE INSURED/" ACME INSURANCE COMPAKV LIFE IN THE ROAR fylvANE mendous potentialities that can be put to practice by any working, cooperating American branch of our As­sociation, and this accom­plishment and progressive­ness is due in no small man­ner to the branch’s farsee­­ing and hard working of­ficers, especially Joseph Tay­lor and Charles A. Young, president and secretary, re­spectively. It is a known fact that these two young men are stock, lock and barrel Verhovay boosters and work­ers, not only in their own branch but in the Associa­tion as well. With younger generation members like Joseph Taylor and Charles A. Young, the Verhovay oldsters need not be too anxious about the Association’s future pros­pects.----------—O-----------— IT ISN’T DEBT Life insurance is the very opposite of going into debt; it is the one certain way of keeping out of debt. When you start a savings account and decide to put five dollars a month into it, you never say that you have planned on going into debt five dollars every month. When you and your fam­ily decide to buy a lot in the suburbs and to pay $25 a month on it until it is paid for, you don’t speak of going into debt $25 each month, do you? When you buy a life in­surance policy, you don’t even promise to pay the life insurance company; it makes all the promises. The com­pany is bound, but you aren’t. Is that going into debt?—National Mutual Be­nefit News. DON’T TALK TOO MUCH —HAVE PEN FILLED Needless talking is a dan­gerous proceeding. There is always the chance you may say too much or inhale a whole flock of germs of sundry sorts. Your very life and pocketbook depend on talking only when it is worth while. So pick your spots to orate. The prospect will appreciate your con­serving his time. See him, of course, but you can’t sell him if you don’t tell him something worth while. Wasteful words wallop the words into Kingdom Come. Tersely tell the real story at the right spot in the inter­view and then hand him the fountain pen. And, above all, be sure there is ink in it.--------------O-------------­SAFETY IS RELATIVE Those who express fear of life insurance because of chaotic world conditions, and the impossibility of an­ticipating future events, should think again. What other investment can be safer? Life insurance assets are invested in United States Government bonds— in the securities of our great­est industries—in mortgages on real estate—in short, they are invested in productive undertakings in all fields. Life insurance, for that reason, is as safe as the United States and its in­dustries. It represents the wealth and resources of the nation. There is no greater investment security than that.------------o-----------­Completion of a railroad wheel, tire and axle plant this year will make India virtually self suffici­ent in rolling stock except loco­motives.
