September 25, 1941 Verhovayák Latyja Page 11 TO THE SPECIAL ATTENTION OF ALL VERHOVAY SPORTSMEN At their semiannual meeting of September 15— 20, the Directors of the Verhovay Fraternal Insur­ance Association voted to sponsor a vast sports program. A NATIONAL VERHOVAY BOWLING CON­GRESS is being organized and set to motion by the American Directors, Albert B. Ari, Frank Broglcy and Dr. Joseph H. Prince. The play-offs will be held in March, 1942, at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, home of our Association, where the bowling champions of the 1941—42 season will be determined. The Verhovay sphere will be divided into three parts, Director Ari, 300 William St., Trenton, N. J., handling the East; Director Frank Brogley, 32 Man­chester Ave., Youngstown, Ohio, the Middle East; Director Joseph H. Prince, 515 N. Broadway, Dayton, Ohio, the Middle West. Bowling officers are requested, from their res­pective territories, to contact the Directors IMME­DIATELY. State whether you are organizing a bowling team, have a team, or whether your team is a mem­ber of a Verhovay bowling league. NOTICE: The players of these teams MUST BE INSURED MEMBERS FROM THE TIME THEY JOIN TEAMS. No social members can participate. A team will be judged ineligible and a game forfeited if any player is found not to be an insured member. Details of the NATIONAL VERHOVAY BOWL­ING CONGRESS will appear in a near issue. WATCH FOR THEM! JOIN THE V. T.S.B.L. ATTENTION! Tri-State Bowlers The Verhovay Tri-Stat< Bowling League was or ganized during the seasor of 1940-41 under the ablt direction of Director Albert B. Ari. It consisted of the following teams: New Brun­swick (New Jersey) Branch 52, New York (New York) Branch 394, Trenton (New Jersey) Branch 413, Man­­ville (New Jersey) Branch 292, Franklin (New Jersey) Branch 9, Allentown (Penn­sylvania) Branch 90. The league created such an interest among the branches that for the sea­son of 1941-42 there is going to be two teams from all branches that can floor two teams. There will be an “A-League” for the first teams and a “B-League” for the second teams. Since the season is just around the comer, I am urging all branches in New Jersey, New York and East­ern Pennsylvania to get down to a little work and organize teams to represent your branches for the com­ing season in the Verho­vay Tri-State Bowling League. The idea of organizing a ‘earn may sound hard to lo, but once you start it I xan almost guarantee that vithin a month you will íave more members than r'ou can use. The Verhovay Tri-State lowling League will not >nly cause interest for the younger branch members but will also increase your contact with other branches, which you would not be able to do otherwise. Since there is little time before the opening of the bowling season, after read­ing this article please see the officers of your branch and get together, if pos­sible, a team or two, and enter the Verhovay Tri- State Bowling League to make this league the out­standing Hungarian Amer­ican group on the Eastern seaboard. Address all letters to John Vaught, 2235 31st Street, Long Island City, New York, or to myself, Adam Simon, Jr., 281 Ha­milton Street, New Brun­swick, New Jersey. For a BIGGER and BET­TER Verhovay, I remain, Fraternally, ADAM SIMON, Jr. President Verhovay Tri- State Bowling League.

Orosz, young Hungarian American mem­ber of Branch 361, Cleve­land, Ohio, is running for Council, 16th Ward, Cleve­land, Ohio. Mr. Orosz, born, reared and educated in Ward 16, and living all his life there, is readily equipped with a very broad knowledge of affairs in his ward. He has always taken a keen interest in public pro­blems, and has served on various clubs, lodges, church organizations and other noteworthy enterprises. One of Mr. Orosz’s out­standing achievements has been his teaching and pre­paring aliens for American citizenship, and under his tutelage more than four thousand aliens have re­ceived their naturalized American citizenship, for which worthy endeavors Mr. Orosz has received very little compensation. Mr. Orosz has not only confined himself to the civic .interests of his city of Cle­veland but follows with de­voted patriotism any move­ment to better the condi­tions of the Nation. Cleveland Verhovays and Cleveland Hungarians will gladly cast their votes for Edward J. Orosz on Septem­ber 30, 1941.--------:o:--------­BRANCH 5 Maynard, Ohio This is to inform our membership that at our last regular meeting, held September 13. 1941, the mo­tion was made and passed that each member is asses­sed twenty-five cents, the payment of which should be made no ipter than Oc­tober 20, 1941. Members who have loam are requested to pay them up as soon as possible, at least the interest if unable to pay the principle. This is your benefit, the welfare of your branch, and the pro­gress of your organization. Branch 5 extends its sympathies to the Sabo brothers on the loss of their mother on September 10, 1941. Fraternally, JULIUS SHADI Secretary. YOU ARE LUCKY TODAY The last century was a period of unbelievable pro­gress. But in no field was greater progress made than in care of the sick, and in advancing the standards of public health. A century ago. for in­stance, anesthesia for sur­gical operations was un­known—it did not come into use until 1846. A»d even later, in Civil War days, hospital death rates of 20 per cent and more were not uncommon. Nothing was known of infectious deseases, the germ theory had not been heard of, and steriliz­ation of instruments and dressings was never prac­ticed. Not until 1868 was a start made in curbing and controlling infection. Startling is the fact that 99 out of 100 American hospitals were founded with­in living memory. Fifty years ago hospitals were generally confined to large cities—in small towns and rural areas operations took place at home, by light of kerosene lamps and an open vessel steaming on a stove as sterilizer. The medical men were not content. It was due to their initiative that hospitals in smaller centers were gradually estab­lished. The whole history of me­dicine is a history of indivi­dual effort—of tireless priv­ate initiative—of unselfish men fighting the endless war against disease and public ignorance. And all of us lead happier, fuller lives be­cause of it.--------o-------­FIVE WISE MEN “I’ll wait before buying my life insurance,” said the first wise man. He had to pay 15 per cent more because the cost had increased. “Next year will be just as good,” said the second wise man. He died six months later. I “I’m in no hurry. I can get insurance any time;” said the third wise man. He discovered his error later when the doctor told him he was uninsurable. “I’ll have more money for insurance in a couple of years,” said the fourth wise man. But a reckless chauffer ran over him and the day when he can buy insurance has passed. Now, there was a FIFTH wise man, and he bought his life insurance when he had the chance. He isn’t worry­ing. Neither is his family. —W. C. Foreste*
