May 29,' 1941 Page 3 MADONNA OF THE EVENING FLOWERS Ave Maria, Madonna of the evening flowers, Lovely Virgin near the blossoming trees; The nun’s exultant voice sings out, Echoing cn the cooling breeze. Sweet, blue violets blossom at thy feet, And with fragrance is scented the air; Tis evening, and the moon is high above, Casting its rays on thee, Maiden fair. —ROBERT SIGMUND MYSTR1CKY Loveable Love Lyrics By JOE VARGO Branch 248 Monaville, W. V«. “YOU CAN COUNT ON ME” Have something to do, someone to love, Something to hope for, and soon someone will love you! When your sweetest sweet dreams, just won’t and won’t come true And all your gray skies won’t turn blue, you can count on me! I could say the cutest, and be the sweetest things. I could be an angel without wings. . You can count on me! We could make our language, of lips and fingertips, While we build a castle or two, in our little rendezvous. I could take you places, you’ve never seen before. I could show you heaven and what more, ’ you can count on me! (Use in whole or part forbidden.) Echos from Lorain — Branch 372 Branch 366 It wood b a plecsure 2 have ALL our members at­tend our monthly meetings, then maybe there wood b sumthing 2 rite about that wood b ov interest 2 others. Just becoz u handed in ur resignation, Pres. John Fritz, iz no rezon y u must shun our company. Johnny’s rezon 4 handing in hiz re­signation is becoz he “ex­pected 2 b drafted soon.” Our vice-pres., Miss Goldie Zsednay, a very capable yung lady, iz certainly do­ing n excellent job. Miss Zsednay n Mrs. Mary Kara­nya were delegates 2 the banquet held May 17th by the Cleve. Hung. Young Men and Ladies’ Society. I haven’t bin able 2 contact either 1 2 get a report on this affair. Perhaps it wood interest our members 2 kno that Tues. evenings r set aside 4 social gatherings at our Verhovay Home. Plans 4 our Annual Picnic, July 6th, were made at our last executive committee meeting, n will b brote up at our monthly meeting. We hope that more ov our mem­bers will make n effort 2 b present. N all-day boot excursion waz suggested az our 1st social outing. Members n their friends r cordially in­vited 2 join us. Sun., June 8th, waz the date suggested, and all those who wish 2 join us pleez make n effort 2 attend our meeting the 1st Friday in June. We wish 2 thank Br, 364 4 their kind hospitality. Apr. 20th, wen our bowling team (the Sportsmen’s team) were guests ov Br. 364. Az we were getting out ov the parking space n ad­mired the beautiful scenery, we saw 3 nice white goats in the field. Now wether it waz sed 2 bring about lafter, or wether the yung man waz serious, we don’t kno, but he ast in a serious tone ov voice: “wat kind ov cows r those?" Our district organizer in­forms me that we have a number ov new members who joined recently. Amung them iz Dr, Stephen A. Szabó, formerly from Chi-Cleveland, Ohio cago. Welcome 2 our midst, Doc. (Maybe u can find 2 join us in horseback riding sum Sun. morning. There’s a lot ov fun in this sport. The members will tell u they prefer it 2 “fishing.”) Oh, yes, Dr. Szabó iz also 1 ov our examining physisians n iz located at the Weizer Bldg, on Buckeye Rd. Thank u, G. K., 4 ur cor­dial welcome (rather un­usual build-up n most un­expected). J. J. H. promised me that he wood resume hiz ritings 4 the Journal f I continued. We ivish 2 thank Br. 429 4 their kind invitation. There r so many ov our members absent from our meetings, it isn’t even funny. I couldn’t contact all ov them but word haz bin passed along. There will b a very small number present becoz the majority have 2 work that week-end n others have made plans in advance. I think it wood b a good idea f our Westside Br. 367 n Br. 366 plan a social affair n get acquainted. The West­­side bowling teams were guest* ov Br 366, Sun., May 4th. The girls had tied score at the end ov 2 games. The nex x our girls schedule games 4 us, will they pleez notify us ov the arrange­ments? We were a little bit “bowled” up that Sunday be­coz ov the short notice, etc. It wood b a great help f our members who dislike riting, yet have sumthing in the line ov neuz, wood in­form me. I’d appreciate a little help along that line. Thank you.--------------O-------------. INVESTMENTS “There is a deep, solid comfort to any man these days who his mastered the problem of income. “It is not as easy as it sounds. If you go in for stocks, you are sub­ject to disastrous market fluctua­tion; if you try real estate, you may lose half the money you have invested should subsequent devel­oping interests carry values away from your part of town to some other quarter; or if, again, you fall back upon speculating in mort­gages, property depreciation may wipe out your capital and leave you with a worthless investment.” There is nothing quite so securely certain as a policy of Insurance. —Ex. HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY By Bertita Harding Reviewed by Robert Sigmund Verhovavalc Lapja Last year an eminent author, Bertita Harding, published her book, “Hun­garian Rhapsody.” Little did she dream that soon after writing “Phantom Crown,” which was later produced into a motion picture under the name “Juarez,” that she would write the biography of her godmother, Camille Feher de Vernet, a beloved actress of the Hungarian stage. And, undoubtedly, it was a trying task. For what writer has written a book, translating their material from Slovak, Hungarian. French. German, and then arranging it into a charming story of the life of a great actress? Camille Feher de Vernet, or Camilluska, as she was sometimes called, came of the prominent Ruffinyi family of Dobsina, Hungary. In youth she was destined to become Hungary’s most appealing actress. Success came to her in Budapest, Pozsony, Berlin, and other European theatrical cities. And, finally, when she had reached the apex of her car­eer, she left the stage to de­vote herself to her half­­brother, Anthony László, and to travel with him through­out Europe and America. Anthony possessed an in­ventive mind, and soon won acclaim. Later, Camille and he traveled to America, but misfortune fell on them. Anthony had taken ill, and so the pair traveled to the Western coast to live on a small farm in California. Ex­penses piled on them, and Camille, no longer possess­ing the strength of youth, was forced to peddle, and later to accept baskets of food from the Government Relief. It is here in California that Camille meets her god­child, Bertita Harding, after not seeing her since early days in Berlin. After An­­thopy’s death Camille is left alone, but she is given a task to while away her weary hours—a two year task of writing her memoirs, jotting down whatever comes to her mind in whatever language she chooses to write, without regard to syntax or chrono­logy, then to be translated and rearranged by the flow­ing pen of Bertita Harding, to produce, the charming and entertaining, “Hun­garian Rhapsody." Put “Hungarian Rhap­sody” on your "must read” list! At our last meeting, there was considerable confusion at the club house. It hap­pened that the caretaker, Mr. Garbak, had somehow forgotten about our regular monthly meeting and had rented out the club room to another organization. Our secretary, Julius Cha­­szar, was very polite about the matter and ordered the members to another section of the building to hold the meeting. Our president, John Pala­­gyi, who participated in the bowling tournament in De­troit, May 8fch, was some­what disappointed because he did not do so well as he had expected. John, how­ever, is a good sport and a good loser and we know he’ll live it down very easily. The baseball team dropped a close decision of 9-8 to the strong Chick nine Sun­day, May 4th. Ed Majoros, starting hurler for the Chicks, gave up six of the 11 bingles, garnered by the Verhovays. Bob Pekare, an ex-minor leaguer, held the hard hit­ting nine of Steve Chick to eight hits. Ed Majoros and Ed Molnár led the offensive play of the victors, each getting three hits. Ed Majoros blasted two home runs, while Fossie and Pekare each clouted a cir­cuit blow. In the strike out depart­ment Pekare registered nine, Smith six, and Majoros six. We are urging all »»em­bers of Branch 372 to stay at the meetings when they attend instead of leaving immediately upon paying their dues. From time to time, our fraternity is acquiring new members and it seems that there are many strangers amongst us. So, fellow mem­bers, let’s attend the meet­ings regularly, to make friends and to stay friends. Branch 17 successfully prepared one of the largest banquets ever held in this vicinity. On May 18th two flags were dedicated at the newly built Reformed Hall at 31st Street and Globe Avenue. Rev. Daniel Bodor took charge of the dedica­tion which began at 4:00 o’clock. We wish to thank Mrs. Davis for her kindness ;n making the two flags, end Mr. Szanto for his earnest labors that this banquet might be a success. Tommy Taylor’s orchestra furnished the music. A thought: Nothing is cer­tain in this world; the wheel of fortune is forever in mo­tion. Fraternally, Alexander C. Petho, Publicity Agent.--------------O-------------­JUST DO IT—AND SMILE What good did it do—to be grouchy today? Did your surlines drive any troub­les away? Did you cover more ground than you usually do? Because of the grouch that you carried with you? If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown, If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble drown? If it doesn’t assist you, It isn’t worth while, Your work may be hard, just do it and smile.
