1941-05-29 / 22. szám

Ffcft 7 May 29, 1941 Branch 366 — Announcements Our picnic program is go­ing along nicely, and we look forward to a successful event. Miss Edith Valand, of the Great Verhovay Valand family, will become a “Mrs” before this writing appears in the Journal. Her father, Michael Valand, will give her away, and will have to wear a tuxedo with one of those high collars. Mike never wore one in his life. Bet he will feel just right! After a successful season, the bowling team broke up till next September. Already we are challenging our for­mer opponents and welcom­ing new ones. Congratulations I want to wish my fellow member and writer, Ann V. Biro, success on the resump­tion of her writings. Miss Biro will carry on and will not let us down—so long as it’s not bowling. The branch can depend on her. Greetings Honor to whom honor is due is given to the writers of the Verhovay Journal and to those who toil over the contributions, correcting, re­vising, rewriting, ect. They deserve the thanks of the Verhovay, for they have made possible in their speci­fic way the greatness of our organization. I greet them all—from the bottom of my heart. Thanks Miss Frances Schwartz, one of Branch 366’s most loyal and active members, deserves our profuse thanks for having so ably assisted us in our last enterprise. Believe me, without Miss Schwartz we would have lost. At least it was a tie. Notes on Members New and Old Florence Pastor and Peter Pastor were brought in by Albert Karl, Assistant Dist­rict Organizer, but apparent­ly Mr. Karl is hiding them, because we still have to see these two new members in the flesh. Mr. Karl is very diligent. He collects their dues, and we think they are his special pets. No offense. Dr. Louis M. Timko, one of our most reputable Hun­garian physicians on Buck­eye Road, was suggested to Mr. Vassy by our ever alert member, Joseph Nagy, and with Mr. Vassy’s personality our mutual friend Dr. Timko was completely sold. Alfred A. Baskind, drug­gist and successful business Cleveland, Ohio man, was suggested to the organization by Joseph J. Horvath. We know that Mr. Baskind will be a real asset to our Association. William Lazok was recom­mended by our treasurer, Cal Karnya, and from one meeting with him we are sure that here is excellent material. Barbara Vache was brought in through her father, Steve Vache. Mr. Va­che has always been a Branch 366 booster, and we hereby thank him for in­ducing his daughter Barbara to join our branch. Joseph Fecser was recom­mended by Joseph Nagy, local business man—meat market—and our Joseph Nagy boss. Did I say he was alert? Andrew J. Sabo—also by Joseph Nagy. We do know if Joe recommends him, that’s sufficient. Charles Moses was recom­mended by Jacob Torda of Branch 14. Now who hasn’t heard of the great Verhovay Torda family in Cleveland, of which Jacob Torda is the head? In Branch 366 we have Edward Torda, and whenever there is any argu­ment at the.meetings Eddie will supply it. Louis Torda, our sergeant at arms, dis­plays our flag at every meet­ing, and then agrees with his brother Ed. William Torda, our publi­city agent, is right now more worried about getting into the Army. He is spending money for a new automobile. He used to write the ‘“Whirl­pool” and “Liberty, Equality and Fraternalism” columns. These journalists are very temperamental, eh, what? Louise Torda, wife c Louis and daughter-in-law of Jacob, was very aggres­sive in Verhovay affairs. We are wondering why she snubs us now? Nevertheless we have a tough hide anc we can take it. We do want to thank Mr. Jacob Torda for his interest in our branch. Julius L. Gajdos was re­commended by Mrs. Louise Torda. Ballplayer and sports­man, the charm and person­ality of “Juicy” (his nick­name) immediately attract those who come in contact with him, and I consider myself fortunate to have him as a friend. Helen S. Love (Nemeth) was recently transferred from Branch 364, Youngs­town. We have been trying to catch up with her since she came from Cleveland. Mr. Vassy discovered that she moved, and we are urn able to deliver her the policy LADIES’ AUXILIARY OF BRANCH 96 Chicago, Illinois Verhovayak Lapja The Ladies’ Auxiliary of Branch 96 held open house May 2nd, the high light of the evening being a sand­wich demonstration sponsor­ed by the Schulze Baking Company. A variety of fancy sand­wiches was prepared by Mrs. Georgia L. Veeck, the de­monstrator, and they proved to be tasty as well as attrac­tive. Yes, we all had a sample. A drawing was held for the ten loaves of bread given the Auxiliary by the baking company. The demonstration was followed by a short meeting, and our president, Mrs. Mary Sabo, greeted the guests and, naturally, stressed the bene­fits of the Auxiliary—result —fifteen new members. A furniture store and a rug cleaning company have been contacted in regards to tours through both concerns. Further plans and arrange­ments will be made at our next meeting to be held Fri­day, June 6th, at Prokop’s Hell. Preparations for the Chi­cago District 55th Jubilee Celebration are now in high gear. There isn’t very much time left and each branch participating is doing its ut­most to make this celebra­tion one of the biggest events in Verhovay histbry. This celebration will take place June 22nd ct Frank’s' Grove, 117th Street and Homan Avenue. Chicago. Fraternally, Irene Balia, Secretary. which came from the Home Office. Please, Helen, tell us where you live, or get in touch with us at 8637 Buck­eye Road. Mrs. Benjamin Pittner came from Branch 356, De­troit, to our branch. Thanks to Mr. Richard J. Phillips, secretary of Branch 356, for his letter and kind consider­ation. I have turned Mrs. Pittner’s letter over to Mr. Louis Vassy, district organ­izer, and he will effect the transfer. Thanks, Richard, fraternal brother! Fraternally, Joseph J. Horvath, Financial Secretary. Editorial Note: Joseph J. Horvath is a true Verhovay, giving all kinds of credit and boostings to his fellow Verhovays. We feel obliged to complete this picture by stating that Mr. Horvath is one of the Verhovay pillars, being a most loyal and active member of this great organ­ization. BRANCH 395 McKeesport, Pa. Dear Cousin Adeline, Things are happening so fast down here at Branch 395 that I thought it a good idea to keep you posted. At our last meeting a week end trip to Detroit was settled, and the date set for the last week end in June. You re­member when we went to Washington last year we had such a good time that we planned to do it again, so we’re going to, but this time to Detroit. Two of our members were called to the army, and they’re rather conspicuous by their absence. Gus Nagy is stationed at Fort George, G. Meade in Maryland. You remember Gus, don’t you? He was the one who always wore the loud ties and had the cute dimple on his chin. I wonder if he’s learned to peel potatoes yet? Mrs. Nor­man’s brother, Paul Shalako, is stationed at Fort Belvoir in Virginia, and I hear he’s doing all right. Happy sol­diering, fellows! But to get on with the meeting. You wouldn’t know Julius Lenart these days. He’s sporting a pair of dark glasses that he claims are the real McCoy, and I think that in Julius’ case they’re a necessity. He’s such an optimist that he needs the dark glasses to neutralize the rosy world be­fore him. But to give the devil .his due, Julius’ new brain-child deserves due con­sideration, but President John Sabo is giving it the cold shoulder (very unsym­pathetic—and from a father, too). But then President Sabo is a cool-headed realist. You missed a lively discus­sion between those two at the last meeting; that is, it started out that way, with bits of sagacity thrown in at proper intervals by Mr. Jozik. It ended well, how­ever—they’re still friends. We have a couple of new Magyar songs, and they cer­tainly sound swell when Ethel Halas plays them. Elizabeth Kanyusik wasn’t there on Tuesday. She usual­ly comes. Irene Pasternak’s mother is recovering very nicely from her operation. She had a setback but we’re awfully pleased that she’s almost well. The Goydans had kittens awhile ago. I forgot to tell you. I guess that by now they’re in the awkward age. Helen Ganyu is graduating from Carnegie Tech next month and every­body’s wishing her luck— she’ll need it when she starts looking for work. I think I’ve covered all the angles now, but don’t forget about the week end trip. Tell the Verhovays you know that for complete in­formation inquire for details from Albert Jozik. Fraternally your loving cousin, Helen Stipkovits, Publicity Agent.
