October 30, 1941 Verhovavak habja Page 5 VERHOVAY SPORTSMEN of BRANCH 164 ------------------------ CHICAGO, ILLINOIS ------------------------have had your picture published first. I know what I’m talking about because the boys in Battery E ill look forward to the Journal when your article is in it. Here’s hoping your picture will be published soon as you wouldn’t want to disappoint the Army. Your friend and, Private Marvin Kunstadt. Well, Marv, there isn’t much 1 can say. Thanks for taking an interest in my column. Perhaps there’s more truth than poetry in what you say. * * * From one of my informants 1 learn that I’ll not be able to tease Frankie Kantor any longer. He’s been promoted to sergeant. [ guess it will have to be Sergeant Frank Kantor from now on. All kidding aside, congratulations, sergeant. It’s good to hear of your good luck, but please don’t make it too hard on the boys in your charge. Uncle Sam decided that we wives need our husbands more than he does, so he gave Ernest Kunstadt, Jr., and Anthony Stangret, ratings of “3A.” In case you didn’t recognize the name, that second fellow belongs to me. FLASH NO. 1 William Feifar, Jr. is having trouble trying to find a hat to fit him. Haven’t you heard? He is the father of a bouncing baby boy. His wife, Julia, and the baby are both doing fine. Congratulations, and best wishes to mom and dad and BABY. FLASH NO. 2 I understand Ted Janik has set the date when he will no longer be a bachelor. Who’s the lucky girl, Ted? FLASH NO. 3 If members don’t let me know the news that’s going around something drastic may happen. Come on, folks, let me in on a few secrets. FLASH NO. 4 I promised my little sister, Rose Anne Kutska, that I would print her name in the paper. She is recovering from an emergency, acute appendectomy. She is doing fine and will be running around again before this paper will be in print. FLASH NO. 5 Won’t somebody please let me know what the bowlers are doing! I know there are bowlers but I haven’t heard any reports from them. I must close now but Í promise you an article next month that will contain all the news that I can possibly gather. I sort of fell down on the job this month, but I won’t give an alibi because I haven’t the time to think of a good one. Just me, Margaret Stangret, Publicity Agent. 1427 So. Sawyer Avenue Chicago, Illinois. THE FERRET SEZ... BRANCH 429 — DEARBORN, MICHIGAN The lazy-daisy days of Indian summer are here, and each day passes swiftly away. The days have passed so swiftly that the deadline has arrived before I have taken the time to gather material for my article. Therefore, this article will be very short due to the lack of time. MEETINGS As I stated in my last issue, there was no meeting in October. Instead of our regular monthly meeting a card and bunco party was held. There were many members and their friends at this affair and many beautiful gifts. I he branch wishes to thank all those who donated prizes and attended this affair, as the proceeds were used to help those less fortunate. Everyone that attended this affair spent a very enjoyable evening. Let me call to your attention the necessity of attending our November meeting. The Sportsmen should all be present as plans are to be made for the coming year. After the meeting, there will be refreshments and enter! ainment and a big surprise Is in store. I can’t say anything more about it as that would be telling. ENTERTAINMENT This is my last chance to remind you not to miss the big affair given on Sunday, November 16th. That is the day you will see what the co-operation of Branches 164, 342 and 503 can do in the line of musical comedy. The play “A Tót Leány,” will he presented on the stage of the Lincoln Auditorium under the direction of Mr. Feifar, Sr., assisted by Mr. Petrovits, with an 100% Verhovay cast. As I am unable to attend rehearsals, I will not bé in the cast as I promised, but the cast is very good and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the play. Don’t forget or make a mistake on the date: Sunday, November 16th, at the Lincoln Auditorium. I’ll see you there. Just another reminder of our New Year’s Eve party to he held at the Wicker Park Hall. This year it will be the biggest and best party and the best celebration in Chicago. ARMY NOTES OR GONE WITH THE DRAFT I received a letter from one Of our boys in uniform and I’m going to print it for you: 1 Camp Davis, North Carolina Dear Marge, For two months there has'been great excitement down here in Battery E. You wrote me then that your picture would be in the Verhovay Journal and I’ve been telling the boys all about you. My dad sends me the English Section of the paper, but I haven’t Seen your picture. Fve seen pictures on the front page of persons I've never heard of, and some of them are not even Verbovay members. The boys down here are anxious to see your picture and are disappointed because it has not appeared. Say, Marge, did you have a fight with the editor, making him hold back your picture and publish those unknown writers? After all, you’re considered the best contributor and should It has been said that vanity is the greatest vice of man, but it helps to keep him satisfied with himself sufficiently to endeavor to do things no one else has done. Hence, even the little guys like to see their names in print occasionally; helps to boost up the old ego which seems to be necessary for a bit of happiness. Let’s see what we have in store for Branch 429 members. Alexander Bercheny became the proud papa of an eight pound son the latter part of July, but since he didn’t visit his secretary until recently... well, how was I to know the old stork would beat me to making the announcement? A1 has promised to make his new son a Verhovay member in the very near future. As noted elsewhere, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Horvath are now the proud owners of a daughter, Edwina—another one of the long list of Horvaths in 429. Josephine Kuritar will eventually become one of those listed as “Mrs.”, as she recently became engaged to:Ted Pomroy, an engaging young chap as the Ferret can testify. Josephine is proudly displaying a star sapphire as her reward for promising to becoming Mrs. Pomroy. Congratulations! The meetings of Branch 429 are becoming larger and larger, and the ole Ferret dug up some figures to prove why they can’t be much larger. Of the total membership, the branch can depend on 3/7 % to be present and to engage in social activities; there are 2/7% living on farms who can’t come in to meetings; only 2/7 % who are inactive and are only paying members. Of course, the total membership is slightly under 100, which makes meetings very, very small. How about getting more new members, and we can give a party when we reach the 100 mark? We have one member to date who is with the armed forces. Albert Sara, whose family are unanimously Verhovayans is stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii. A gift from the branch will be going out to Albert as soon as we decide what it should be. WORRIED HEART Why must I wait here and worry? It’s all because you promised to be mine. When Uncle Sam called you to attend your duty, You promised me it would only be for a year. But, my love, that year is much longer to wait with a broken and worried heart. Darling, if Uncle Sam would have taken me with you, I wouldn’t be so sick and worried in heart for you. Sometimes I wonder if I should wait or die, But since Uncle Sam has called and taken you away, and needing you more, I —I will wait with a worried heart. —JAKE Branch 208 Filbert, W. Va. A note of acknowledgment will be shortly sent to Betty Carol Balega for her lovely letter of thanks to the Ferret for stating what is the honest opinion of this writer for Betty’s informative articles. You see, Miss Balega, I only give credit where credit, is due, and I believe that your “stuff” is tops with the majority of the feminine members. By the way; I tried the cookies listed in your last article and my kids sure gobbled them up. Let’s have’ more good recipes. Where oh were is J. J. Horvath? The nice things you said about the old Ferret have rather gone to my head, and I’m just coming out of the ether into which I was cast by your words. Thanks, pal, you’re tops with me. I wonder what John “Dirk” Fulop will do when he goes with our armed forces? Will he continue his rib-tickling articles or will he lose his identity with the hundreds of thousands of musket-bearing gents? Elmer Halas of 395 gives one a pretty good idea that the chaps with the U. S. Army Air Corps certainly lead anything but a dull life. More like the article in the last issue. Better cut this short or “ye ed” will cut it out. Fraternally, THE FERRET, Publicity Agent.
