Fraternally yours, (Signed) Margaret Stangret Publicity Agent. Sportsmen President Albert Tury. * * * MEETINGS The Sportsmen held their first meeting of 1941 on January 3rd, after the Seniors had completed their session. A total reorganization is the plan for 1941. The main business on hand was the election of officers. A1 Tury was nominated to act as chair­man during the election. The members elected to the various offices are as follows: Albert Tury—President. Frank Kantor—Vice-President. Elsie Risko—Lady Vice-Presi­dent. Robert Zubor—Secretary. Andrew Janovich—Treasurer. John Kovács—Auditor. Marvin Kunstadt, Steve Risko Sergeants at Arms. Margaret Stangret—Publicity Agent. It was decided that the officers hold a meeting to discuss plans for the year, and present said plans to the members at future meetings. The meeting was adjourned because of the hour, leaving much unfinished business. On January 9th the Sportsmen officers held, a meeting to dis­cuss plans for 1941. There was much discussion and many different views, but it finally boiled down to a program including every month of the year. This program must be present­ed to the Sportsmen for appro­val. To interest more members in our club activities, I will write the results of this meeting. January—Reorganization. February—Valentine Dance. March—Pork Supper. April—Boy’s Baseball. May—Bowling Organization for the 41-42 Season. June—Out-of-Town Ball Game. July—Truck Picnic. August—Beach Party. September—Bowling. October—A n n u a 1 Sportsmen Dance. November—Boy’s Basketball. December—Christmas Party. Plans were also discussed to have a social party for the mem­bers, about once every three months after the regular monthly meeting. It will be .noticed that out­side bowling there is no activity for the girls. Because of the minority of girls present at the meetings, the boys have been able to elect more male officers and have more to say about sport activi­ties. My advice to the girls is come to the meetings, choose your sport and demand your rights. A special meeting for the Sportsmen was held on January 17th to discuss plans for our Valentine Dance. Due to the bad weather, very few members were present. The meeting was short and all the final plans for the dance were completed. All other business was left un­finished until our next meeting wich will be on February 7th, after the Seniors’ meeting, at 333 W. North Ave. It is requested that all mem­bers selling tickets for our Valentine Dance be present at this meeting to return the money from sale of the tickets. * * * PAST AFFAIRS Our Christmas Party, held for the children, was immensely en­joyed by the children and by the grown-ups also. A grand program was pre­sented. This program was pro­duced by the children of the branch. The high light on the program was a special chorus made up of Flower High School Alumni and directed by Margaret Irocky. Other entertainers from the Juvenile Order, who will soon be Sportsmen, were: Helen Zubor, William Bessemer, Gizella Papp, Iris Varga and Marian Sabo. Free refreshments were given to all the children, and every­one Had a good time except Santa Claus. He lost four pounds that day. The New Year’s Eve celebra­tion was a grand success. With Szepessy’s orchestra taking the lead, everyone ushered in the New Year with a smile on his lips and a song in his heart. The celebration lasted well into the New Year, with everyone happy. SPORTS Half of the bowling season is over, and Johnny Kovach’s team beat out Louis Molnar’s team for first place.. The players on this first team are Johnny Kovach, Barbara Kovach, Ernie Kunstadt, Jr., Joe Exner Jr. and Mrs. Dory. The second half of this sea­son will have many changes. The teams will be classified accord­ing to the averages, so that the best five men will be together, the second best five, the third five, etc. The management hopes that this arrangement will bring better results and accomplishments. It surely is needed, ar the South Bend team will be on hand March 8th to bowl against us. After the bowling, all the bowl­ers and the membership of 164, and their friends, will meet at the Harmony Hall, 1639 N. Ar­tesian Avenue, where a supper and dance party is being ar­ranged in honor of the South Bend Bowlers. Suto’s orchestra will be on hand, and at the same time will be the initiation of our new en­tertainment chairman, Mr. Varga. Speaking of entertainment, ( am informed that the big Ver­hovay Day to celebrate the 55th birthday of our organization will be held on June 22d, at 115th and Homan Ave. This open air festival will bring all of Chicago’s best together. Two week* later, July 6th, Branch 164 and Branch 342 will hold their annual picnic at the Silver Leaf Grove, a place everyone knows. I believe Branch 164 is doing its share in delivering good pro­paganda for the Verhovay Fra­ternal Insurance Association. * * * I received a very interesting letter and I’m going to let you read it, as I think it will interest quite a few others: Dear Marge, Now that the bowling season is half over and the Kovach- Fodor family took the lead, I’d like to challenge this combination to a bowling match against the Barnak-Molnar family. I won’t state many restrictions to my challenge but the teams must all be Verhovay 164 mem­bers. To lay my cards on the table, my players will be Johnny Bar­nák, Louis Molnár, Mary Molnár, Ernie Kunstadt Jr., and Olga Chudek. Now, for your informa­tion, Ernie is related to the Bar­nák family and Olga will be a Kunstadt in a very short time. I know it is a tough proposi­tion but I still think we can go to town and leave the Kovach- Fodor family behind. Sincerely, (Signed) Louis Molnár. * * * FLASH NO. 1 Our Sportsmen secretary’s new alarm clock has been out of or­der since he bought it. Perhaps that explains his absence from the last meeting. FLASH NO. 2 The sad face on Mary Risko can be explained only by the fact that Edwin G. Gilfoy, to whom Mary became engaged on Jan­uary 6th, will be leaving. He is going to join the camp of the 122d Field Artillery, on February 28th. The only time we see Mary smile is when she looks at her diamond engagement ring. FLASH NO. 3 One of our most interesting members and booster, Frank Ko­vach, from Indiana Harbor, had to buy a brand new 1941 Pon­tiac to get in the flashes. Well, Frank, you have the car and here you are in the flashes. What more do you want? FLASH NO. 4 The party given in honor of Frank Kantor, Jr., the one, to my sorrow, I couldn’t attend, was to celebrate Frankies 21st birth­day. How does it feel to be a man, Frank? FLASH NO. 5 Steve Risko has given up many of his past times but still clings to one, and that’s telephoning. It is interesting to note that he calls the same number nightly. That’s the number he received New Year’s Eve. FLASH NO. 6 We noticed a very attractive young lady at our last meeting. Her name is Marilyn Petras. We understand her past time is telephoning. FLASH NO. 7 To all my friends and readers: Please don’t ask me about Mr. Gyorffy. Mr. Gyorffy resigned as district organizer, on Novem­ber 1, 1940, and is at present at our Home Office. Our new or­ganizer since that date is Mr. George Toth. I hope this will save you many nickles. FLASH NO. 8 Mary LeBan, our telephone c perator, is next in line. I an­nounced her engagement several months ago, and the plans are just about ready for the wedding. We’re all waiting for the in­vitation. FLASH NO. 9 Marv Kunstadt bought a brand new pair of ladies ice skates just before Christmas, for some one on Oakley Avenue. It is just too bad that unseasonable weather is keeping them away from this healthful sport of skating. FLASH NO. 10 Miss Laposa of the East Chi­cago, Indiana branch, please take notice! There is a plan in progress to visit your branch on your next social affair, by many of our Sportsmen. I hear your banana cakes are wonderful. We hope there will be a few waiting when we get there. FLASH NO. 11 Sportsmen William Feifar, Jr., and his wife, Julia, are vacation­ing somewhere in Mexico. The promised post card has not yet arrived. * * * As publicity agent, I have plenty of work on my hands with our Valentine Dance. I close this article expecting to see all those, who possibly can be pre­sent, at our Valentine Dance. Just me, Margaret Stangret, Publicity Agent. 1427 So. Sawyer Ave. Chicago, Illinois.--------------O-------------­BRANCH 395 INSTALLS OFFICERS McKeesport, Pennsylvania The new officers for 1941 were sworn in by Branch 395 at its first official meet­ing of the New Year, held on January 14, 1941, in the evening, at the official meet­ing place, the First Hunga­rian Reformed Church at 8th and Strawberry Streets. All business completed, retiring President Elmer Ha­las administered the oath of office to the new officers standing in body, who were Mrs. Kenneth Norman, Vice- President; Alexander J. Goy­­dan, Corresponding Secre­tary; Julius Lenart, Treasur­er; Anne Bogi, Recording Secretary; Theresa Lesnans­­ky and Helen Goydan, Audit­ors. President John Sabo was unable to be at the swear­ing in of the new officers. Alex Meszar, also unable to attend, sent word through Julius Lenart that he would be unable to accept the po­sition of auditor, to which he was elected, and Helen Goydan was chosen to re­place Mr. Meszar. The installation ceremony was followed by a social held in the basement, cele­brating the inauguration of the new officers. Mrs. Ken­neth Norman, Branch 395’s ace cook, personally pre­pared a delicious luncheon of hot barbecue sandwiches with cakes, coffee and candy. In the midst of the appetite­­inspiring eating, retiring President Halas proposed an applause for Mrs. Norman’s unselfish efforts and culinary expertness. Needless to say, the appreciative members applauded lustily. The affair continued until about midnight when the members began to disperse.
