Introducing ... Joseph J. Horvath The name Joseph J. Horvath. J. J. Horvath, or even J. J. without the last name, brings to the mind of many of our members one of our best, most active and very energetic members of the Verhovay. Wherever Verhovay plays a prominent hand you may be sure that Joseph J. Horvath did more than his share to assure its success and happy conclusion. In Cleveland, where Mr. Horvath is secretary-treasurer of Branch 366, the young people affectionately anti familiarly refer to him as “J. J..” and no questions are asked as to who “J. J.” is, for they all know that “J. J.” is short for Joseph J. Horvath, a true and working Verhovayan indeed. Naturally, we here are mostly concerned with what Mr. Horvath has done for the Verhovay Journal, but the facts speak for themselves more eloquently than we can. Mr. Horvath has advanced many new ideas for the Journal, among them a NEW MEMBERS PAGE, which as yet has not been acted upon by the secretaries and publicity agents. We of the Verhovay Association and of the Verhovay Journal are justly proud of the loyalty, sincerity and accomplishments of Joseph J. Horvath. May we have more like him!--------:o:--------Japan's first airport for the exclusive use of nonmilitary flying boats will be built near Yokohama. Martha-Marie My Martha-Marie is a sweet Irish lass As big as a minute or two, My Martha-Marie with her charms on en masse, Can captivate hearts through and through. Her laugh is the tinkle of wee silver bells, And pixies will dance in her eyes, But look and you’ll see an angel who dwells Right here, and not up in the skies! She hurries and runs, then she laughs if she falls, Her eyes are no place for a tear, She is now at the stage where each word enthralls, Repeating them all till they’re clear. It’s “Rita and Carl, hello and goodby”— Then clapping her hands, one-two-three— Her dimples play tag like a soft butterfly That hurries from flower to tree. Her mouth is a rose bud, I’ve saved that for last, So hard to describe, don’t you see? Perfection in detail, perfection far past, God bless you, sweet Martha-Marie! —BETTY CAROL BALEGA Star Song The purple sky with starshine gleams; The little lake reflects my dreams; All earth is silent, wrapt in sleep, Above, below, deep calls to deep. O Life that sings this lullaby, Tune me with music from on high, Make me as lovely as the night. That I may ever sing delight.

Hitler’s army marching into Hungary deprived the government of its freedom of action and silenced public opinion. The protest which surged up in the heart of every Hungarian was revealed by Prime Minister Count Teleki who laid down his life in tragic revolt against the enforced besmirching of Hungary’s glorious record among nations. Step by step, Hungary had been tricked and forced into the Naziconceived European “New Order” of exploitation, spiritual and physical slavery and endless bloodshed to serve the Nazi craving for domination in disregard of Hungary’s own vital interests. Hungary—the Kingdom founded by St. Stephen where almost a thousand years ago an independent and stable form of government was established after repelling the German foe;—the land where every hill and field has been hallowed by the blood of generations fallen in the defense of Freedom;—the land where the bells of Torda chimed forth the world’s first Proclamation of religious equality;—the land where traditions still re-echo the sound of these bells and of the kettle-drums of Rákóczi which called to the defense of “God and Liberty”;—the land where Petőfi, the immortal bard of liberty, sealed his faith with his blood;—the land where Kossuth stamped his legions out of the ground to fight for Independence; —Hungary—the classic battleground of Freedom again lies trampled under the heel of Germany. In this intolerable situation, we Hungarians living outside of Hungary, fortunate in being able to express our views freely, have not only the right but also the sacred duty to give voice to the genuine convictions of the Hungarian people and to take up the fight against Nazi domination. The fate of our nation depends wholly upon the outcome of this fight for independence. The magnitude of the task, the supreme values at stake demand the united effort of all Hungarians wherever they may be. No difference in party or religious affiliations, or of racial origin, no class distinction shall be allowed to separate us. Let us join hands to dedicate ourselves once more to the service of our traditions of true Christian ideals, respect of human rights and national independence. In fighting for these high ideals, we are inspired by eternal aspirations of free men everywhere, as expressed in the American Declaration of Independence and Bill TO THE VERY SPECIAL ATTENTION OF THE CONTRIBUTORS Time and time again you have been informed that unless you observe the deadline for contributions your articles may not reach print in time for the particular issue for which they are intended.
