Page 8 VERHOVAY LADIES’ AUXILIARY Branch 96, Chicago IN THE SHADOWS WITH THE SHADOW Branch 372, Lorain, Ohio News of the Verhovay Ladies’ Auxiliary has trav­elled hither and yon in West Pullman and each meeting brings out new faces, which is as it should be. It not only gives the members a chance to see old friends at least once a month but to make new ones, and one can never have too many friends. Mrs. Andrew Csontos, who does not live in the vicinity, travelled from quite a dis­tance to be present at our last meeting, and that should be an example for our local ladies who have as yet to attend an Auxiliary meeting. We had at our meeting, which was held June 6th, several women from Burn­side Branch 37 and Indiana Harbor Branch 229 to thrash out the food situation for the June 22nd picnic. After the discussion of such de­licious Hungarian dishes as Laczi Pecsenye, Pörkölt and töltött káposzta, justice was really done to the cake and coffee served after the meet­ing and the playing of bingo Mary Sabo reports that the Campbell’s Soup Com­pany tour on Monday, June 9th, was very successful and thoroughly enjoyed by those who went. The women sampled some tomato juice and chicken soup, and each was given two cans of soup to take home besides. Unfor­tunately the tour took place during the day and many of us working gals couldn't attend. • * * TIDBITS—Our treasurer’s brother, Joe Prokop, left for the army June 8th. Mrs. Glen Ellingson, the former Mary Virosztko, and member of Branch 96, writes that all’s well and very soon she will be very much of a farmerette. The Ellingsons, ahd their young daughter Louise, migrated to Lucas, South Dakota several weeks ago and will make their home there indefinitely. * * * Tire Auxiliary will, not meet in July due to the fact that the first Friday of the month falls on the Fourth. Besides, vacation time is here and our president and her family will be vaca­tioning in Wisconsin and Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. John Salancy, along with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tinich, will head East to Wash­ington with stops in between to visit friends, and yours truly will trek westward to Colorado. Fraternally, Irene Bella, Secretary. After a long absence, I’m finally keeping my promise to “Mystricky” and again am writing my column. Above all other things, I wish to welcome my new col­league and fellow member, Alexander C. Petho, who, I am sure, will give more sup­port to the Branch. I think, too, that members should remain at the meeting after paying their monthly dues. This point has been stressed many times before in my column, but now I am posi­tive that with the two of us putting pressure on this point, we will obtain the de­sired results. THE PASSING SCENE John Palagyi most of vthe time is seen at the Andorka Bowling Alleys. Our former “prexy” and now treasurer of the Branch, Julius Chaszar, seen cruis­ing down Vine Avenue in his new limousine at the exces­sive rate of speed of 15 m. p. h.! With no offense to the Shadow of the famous fic­tion magazine, there is the story of the father of the Jerkovich boys who walked in Andorka Bowling Alleys with his chapeau pulled down over his brow and clad in a mammoth overcoat. A fellow loiter was heard to remark to his companion, “Hey, look at that guy! He looks as though he were go­ing to climb this building!” Here’s another flash on the Jerkovich clan: Pete Jerko­vich was seen in a tux at a local dance spot known as Crystal Beach, accompanied by a girl attired in, of all things, a slack suit! My! My! Private Michael Delczig, home on leave from the Army, was seen at Andorka’s looking well and in the best of condition. Who sez the Army makes a man lead a hard life? THE PASSING SCENE IN ' CLEVELAND ON JUNE 15th As I was walking down towards Hotel Hollenden where I was spending a week end, I spied a middle­­aged lady strolling down Superior Avenue with her spouse. As they were passing a group of V. F. W.’s the lady patriotically saluted the group. In Pony’s Cafe on Chester Avenue, the crowd went wild when the M. C. imitated the antics of a Jewish family spending a few days at the seashore. Have you ever watched people laugh them­selves into stitches at the satire of a Jewish woman splashing water under her armpits before plunging into the water? Well, when are you going to start living? The crowd, not knowing what was enough, had the poor M. C. exhausted after many repeated encores. While I was straddling a bar stool at the Wonder Bar on Euclid, a dog wandered in. Immediately a group of young ladies began to whistle, urging the dog for­ward. The amusing scene ended with the dog getting the “bums’ rush” from the manager. ADDENDA OF THE PASSING SCENE OF JUNE 16th After checking out of Hotel Hollenden, I strolled out of the outer lobby and was confronted by the most astonishing number of mail­man (mail, not male) in one spot. After regaining my dignity, I surmised that a convention was being held at Cleveland in Hotel Hol­lenden. I then boarded the bus for my weary way home from a hectic week end. So that’s thirty for this month. Fraternally, Verhovayak Lapja June 26, 1941 THE SHADOW.-----O-------------­COMMON TEAM ORGAN IZED BY BRANCHES 432 AND 288 Crescent, Ohio YOUNGSTOWN VERHOVAY DAY A common baseball team has been organized by Branches 432 and 288. Since the team will be financed by the branches themselves, all contributions towards the new sports out­fit will be very appreciated. Paul Nagy, President of Branch 432, and member John Höbe were the first to contribute and gave $1.00 each. We are requesting the other members of the two branches to give the team their moral and financial support. Fraternally, The Sport Committee.--------------o--------------­Repeating their grand success of last year, the Youngstown branches, 21, 108, 364 and 514, will jointly hold another YOUNGSTOWN VERHOVAY DAY, on Sun­day, June 29th, at the Whip­poorwill Picnic Grounds, the location of last year’s highly enjoyable affair. The program for the day will be varied to suit all tastes, and special numbers are planned for the youth. The music for the occasion will be furnished by the Guszti Horvath Orchestra, making its first appearance in Youngstown, and, in view of the fact of its out­standing accomplishments and reputation in the Pitts­burgh area, there is no doubt that this excellent gypsy orchestra will be re­ceived with favor in Youngs­town and its performance so well liked as to call for future engagements in the city. Anyone who follows up Hungarian gypsy orchestras has heard the Guszti Hor­vath name. Guests coming from con­siderable distance will be treated with the same gen­uine Verhovay hospitality as they were last year, and every effort will be made to assure them a most pleasant time. Despite the fact that there are this year four National Verhovay Days (the Chicago District Verhovay Day was celebrated successfully on June 22) sponsored by the four Contest Districts, the YOUNGSTOWN VERHOVAY DAY will be as outstanding, if not more, a success as it was last year when at that time Youngstown started something that now honors her with the words, “Youngs­town is the birthplace of the National Verhovay Day!” ----------:o:---------­W1NDBER SPORTS NOTICE BRANCH 434 NOTICE South Bend, Indiana The regular monthly meetings of Branch 434 have been postponed for the sum­mer season until October.
