Do you know it is some­what difficult to get back into the groove after you’ve grown accustomed to leading an idle, leisurely existence, even if for only the briefest period. A mental picture forms in your mind showing you continuing to live in that ecstatic, lazy manner, with no responsibilities and less worries. It is nice to have a vacation, nevertheless, even though it seems short and you are aware of the fact that you will soon have to return to the old grind and to work that in some in­stances has managed to grow to mountainous proportions, awaiting your return. That aspect alone is enough to give me goose pimples! While on the discussion of vacations, I here wish to note that our English editor, Brother Albert Jozik, had a glorious trip to the West Coast. I read his delightful account of the first lap of his journey in the last En­glish Issue, and discovered it was so well told that I could with very little effort visualize every phase of his trip. But please do tell me, Mr. Jozik, did it rain in sunny California? There has been so much rubbing con­cerning the atmospheric con­ditions there that I must satisfy my curiosity. I want to thank you, Mr. Jozik, for the picture post cards you so graciously sent me. I ap­preciate them very much and will paste them in my greeting card album (a hobby of mine). I also take this opportunity to acknow­ledge the greeting Brother Steinmetz, our Los Angeles contributor, extended via Brother Jozik during his visit with Mr. Steinmetz. Our Verhovay Day last June wasn’t quite as spec­tacular as in the previous year, due in some part to the light rain that fell during the afternoon and left an cvercast sky in its wake. But for all that, we relished the delicious Hungarian food and drinks and danced to good music furnished by a gypsy orchestra from Pitts­burgh. Mrs. John Barkó en­joyed a pleasant reunion with one of her friends who was her companion on Mrs. Barko’s Verhovay trip to Hungary, several years back. I believe her friend and her party were from Canton, Ohio. Mrs. Barkó introduced them to me, and I was in­deed delighted to make their acquaintance. I sincerely hope they enjoyed our picnic, in spite of the weather. Poor Prez Brogley, I no­ticed, was in for a worse predicament than the old woman who lived in a shoe. The responsibilities of this affair lay heavy on his shoulders, and, outside a few faithful members, he received very little help. Nevertheless, taking every­thing into consideration, after all expenses were paid, cur Verhovay Day netted a small profit which was equal­ly divided among the four local branches. So we didn’t fare very badly after all again despite the elements. Hearty congratulations to two of our worthy members, Brothers William Miglets and John Thomas. Brother Bill was appointed to the city police force, so that adds another copper to our midst. I am wondering, however, if Bill is a little self-conscious in his blue uniform and brass buttons? Brother Tho­mas, on the other hand, who has been on the city police force for some time and is connected, I believe, with the detective bureau, was selected by our mayor to at­tend a Maryland school where he was trained to be­come a bomb expert. We surely are proud of these boys for their achievements and high honors. Here is where I shed a few tears. The girls’ tennis team met an untimely de­mise, and I really had such high hopes that it would come through with flying colors! I honestly believe that plans for the team’s organization came a little late, when the tennis season was already in full swing, and that this more or less contributed to its failure. .1 suggest that we make our plans for such a team earli­er next year, just as we have already discussed organizing our bowling teams for this fall. During our July meeting there was some talk about holding a basket picnic on Sunday, August 24th, an all day outing, the location or which was to have been de­signated at our August meet­ing. Unfortunately, such a small group attended that the matter was overlooked and no definite arrange­ments were made. However, we did settle the question of going to Cleveland on a chartered coach to partici­pate in the National Verho­vay Day at Puritas Springs Park, which is now past his­tory. The near future, just the same, looms bright on the horizon, with plans made to wind up our sum­mer season with a gala corn roast, following our Septem­ber meeting, to be held at our favorite stamping grounds, and let us keep our fingers crossed for fair weather this particular eve­ning with a full moon and all its trimmings (this is for those who are romantically inclined.) My sincerest hope is that the Rendes family will graciously put up with us again. They do treat us royally, awaiting our arrival with a log fire burning mer­­nly, supplying us with seat­ing facilities and the neces­sary utensils. A vote of thanks for their kindness! Undoubtedly, Prez Brog­ley, in his capicity as traffic patrolman, has a very in­teresting yarn to spin for anyone willing to lend an ear to his tales. It evolves around the fact that the American Legion held its annual convention in our city, and for three days had the run of the city, playing­­havoc with traffic regula­tions, much to the conster­nation of the motorists and bus drivers, and the amuse­ment of John Q. Public, and giving the traffic department a traffic headache. The of­ficers were conspicuous by their absence, and when one did emerge occasionally, he managed to look quite non­chalant when the legionnair­es played their pranks on the defenseless motorists and pedestrians. They also proved their gallantry by escorting ladies across the street against green lights, while auto drivers wore out their batteries blowing their horns, and worked up their blood, fcut to no avail. Despite the inconveniences in bus serv­ice and auto communication, it was refreshing having them here, what with their fun making and friendly­­overtures. They climaxed the convention with a long, colorful parade that was viewed by thousands. The pleasant memory of their visit will remain with us for years to come. For the present, toodle-oo, friends.

YouHD^juggis^ias^SULPHOJtAPS CHICAGOANS IN CLEVELAND Our party, consisting of Miss Irene Balia, secretary of the Verhovay Ladies’ Auxiliary of Branch 96, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Krumrei and son, Mr. John Hartly, Mrs. John Willey, Yours truly and family, arrived in Cleveland Saturday after­noon, August 17, 1941. We stopped at the Verho­vay Home, where we were cordially received by Mr. Matyas, manager of the home. After securing acco­modations for the night, we visited some friends, and be­fore retiring stopped at the Verhovay home again, where we met officers and members from other branches, includ­ing Mr. Coloman Revesz and Mr. John Bencze of the Home Office. After a few brief words, we left for a good night’s rest, for the next day was to be a memor­able one, and we could hard­ly wait for the festivities to begin. In the morning we attended M^gs at St. Eliza­beth’s Church, and later at the Verhovay Home met the rest of our party. There the most pleasant surprise await­ed us, Director John Salancy, President of Branch 96, Mrs. Salancy, Mr. Frank Tinich, treasurer of Branch 96, and Mrs. Tinich, who had arrived for the occasion. Later we ran into more Chicagoans, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Cook, so Branch 96 was well repre­sented at the Cleveland Ju­bilee celebration After look­ing forward for weeks to meeting Mr. Albert Jozik, it was indeed a pleasure to make his acquaintance. Hl in turn introduced us to other contributors to the Verhovay Journal. Mr. Sa­lancy introduced'us to his Director colleagues, Supreme Officers and District Organ­izers, all of whom made our visit most pleasant. Gather­ings such as these bring members closer together and make us realize what a big Verhovay family we belong to. It is not necessary to men­tion that the Cleveland Ver­hovay Day celebration was a success. It could not have been anything but that. The weather was ideal, with the temperature neither too hot nor too cold, just right for an enjoyable day. The pro­gram was both interesting and entertaining, with credit to the master of ceremonies, who amused the audience with his humorous remarks. The little girls and boys in their Hungarian costumes were beautiful, their Hun­garian songs and recitations were truly inspiring. It was not easy for us to leave such a grand gathering, but there were more friends to visit before returning to Chicago. Our thanks and appreciation to friends and Verhovay members who made our visit in Cleveland so interesting. By the time this article will go to press, the Detroit celebration will have been over. We deeply regret we could not attend their affair also, but all good things must come to an end some time. We sincerely hope their cele­bration was equally as suc­cessful as the others. With such grand leaders and as­sistance that they have, it is bound to be a success. Fraternally, MRS. LOUIS SABO, Chicago District Secretary. Do your share to preserve the American way of life.
