ENGLISH EDITION Verhovay Journal \ * __________^ _________________________________________ VOL. XXIV. ~ JANUARY 30, 1941 NO. Í SECTION TWO Next month will be the first anniversary of the bi-monthly English Journal. Here’s hoping the anniversary will bring more branch news. We girls are doing our part as publicity agents. THE WORKER It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does-actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; CONTRIBUTORS, PLEASE READ Postal regulations prohibit publishing or mentioning in any way items pertaining to raffles or games of chance, and papers containing this information are refused admittance to the mails. Kindly eliminate such subjects from your articles. and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.—Theodore Roosevelt.-----------«-O-------------FREAK AUSTRIAN STAMP Vienna experienced a post office rush by stamp collectors when an observant philatelist discovered a strange facial error on the blue six-groschen stamps. The Lower Austrian peasant pictured in the stamp had ears in reverse fashion— back to front. Some 200,000 stamps were sold and then the stamp was withdrawn. To Our Contributors Contributions intended for the February 13th issue should be in before or on February 8 th. No assurance of publication in particular issue can be given for material received after that date. Verhovay Youth Makes Qood in Navy EDWARD J. KAMENAR First Class Petty Officer oj the U. S. Navy Edward J. Kamenar, member of Branch 361, Cleveland, Ohio, who not very long ago joined the U. S. Navy for a period of six years, has obtained recognition for himself by meriting three promotions in the short space of six weeks. At the Great Lakes Naval Training Station in Illinois, young Kamenar was first made “platoon leader,” then advanced to “submaster at arms,” and now holds the position of “first class petty officer.” Only 18 years of age, Seaman Kamenar no doubt will continue to forge ahead. In the picture above can be seen three stripes on the sleeve of his uniform, indicating the three advancements. Besides these evidences of his ability and energy, Edward is a good violin and piano player, and his comrades probably make every use of this social asset. Congratulations to the 1940 Contest Winners We take this splendid opportunity to wish the winning contestants our heartiest congratulations on their good fortune in becoming winners in the just past wonderful 1940 Verhovay National Membership Contest! “As ye sow so ye shall reap,” says the Holy Bible, and you have fulfilled those solemn words. You sowed well and now you are enjoying the fruits of your harvest—and well do you deserve it. And to the non-winners we have this to say: You sowed well also, though not sufficiently to become winners. But withal you have gained valuable new social contacts, for you have gained the friendship and acquaintance of more of our Verhovay brethren, and you have acquired from experience the knowledge to help you become victorious contestants in the future—in our new 1941 Regional Membership Contests. Prior to informing the victorious contestants of their happy results, a committee, consisting of President Joseph Darago, Directors Bertalan Kun and Frank Brogley, member of Auditing Committee Julius Lenart, and Home Office officials John Bencze and Coloman Revesz, examined the results in the Home office, on January 24, 1941, at 9 a. m., to verify their validity. When everything was found to be in order, both telegrams and letters were sent immediately to the victorious contestants, informing them of their good fortunes.
