ENGLISH EDITION SEITION TWO 52 Introducing .., Mrs. Gabriel Sonkoly A member less than a year, Mrs. Gabriel Sonkoly has distinguished herself in the Cleveland Verhovay cir­cles as one of the most active and hard working members of Branch 361, Cleveland, Ohio, of which branch she is the publicity agent of the Women’s Divi­FIIOM US TO TOE May the New Year bring you the fullest measure of happiness and pros­perity ... and may we suggest that this year of 1942 be a year in which you will protect yourself and those dear to you with VERHOVAY insurance. Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association A Holiday Trip By MEV sion. At first dealing strictly with reporting business, the lady publicity agent now brings out the social side also in her articles. „ No affair is planned and carried out at the Women’s Division of Branch 361 with­out the name of Mrs. Son­koly figuring prominently in its conception and fulfill­ment. Attending the Cleveland Verhovay Day held on Aug­ust 17, 1941 in celebration of Verhovay's 55th anni­versary, the interest and cu­riosity of a member of this editorial department was aroused when he noted one of the committeewomen briskly going about selling tickets and doing other jobs at the day, with apparently little thought for her own pleasure. When introduction was made later in the day, it turned out that the ener­getic Verhovay worker was Mrs. Gabriel Sonkoly. The Verhovay spirit and good will of this lady is re­flected in her open letter which appears on this page, j Mrs. Sonkoly’s Verhovay enthusiasm can be followed as an example by other mem­bers, both old and new. If you read my last col­umn (if you didn’t I don’t blame you), you might re­call that I said I was leav­ing town for the holidays. Being young, and being travel-minded, I naturally TO OUR CONTRIBUTORS The English Section is pub­lished the SECOND and LAST Thursday of every month, except when holidays intervene, and the Saturdays IMMEDI­ATELY preceding them are the final dates with the as­surance that the articles sub­mitted will appear in the issues for which intended.

Although I’ve made this trip many times by train, auto or bus, it is always new to me. I boarded the train, tipped the porter (I was go­ing to give him only twenty­­eents but he got me such a good seat I tossed in another dime, and the ear-to-ear grin made it worth forty cents), and settled myself for the eight hour ride. When I got tired of read­ing my magazines and papers, I looked about the car to see who my traveling companions were. Not one looked sociable. They all had their noses either pres­sed flat against the window pane or hurried in their newspaper. I chatted with the conductor who remem­bered me from previous trips, and he asked me where I was getting all the money to travel. (I didn’t mind his curiosity—he’s a pretty nice guy.) I told him I had a private racket in Pittsburgh and told him I’d let him in on the deal if he wouldn’t squeal to the cops if he ever got caught. I was telling a pretty good story. I even liked it myself and would An Open Letter Dear Fellow Members: Cleveland, Ohio First let me wish all my Verhovay brethren success, health and prosperity in 1942. And a very special greeting goes to Branch 361, Cleveland, Ohio, of which branch I am a member and where I have made many new friends this passing year. I truly and freely recommend Branch 361 to any jerson who cares to spend happy hours among such Dleasant a group of Verhovay members. The members of this branch are a jolly and cooperative group, and all are willing and eager to help in making Branch 361 a better and bigger branch. Much, of course, is due to the very qualified leadership of our president, whose intelli­gence, loyalty and good nature are an inspiration to the other officers and members. I am also grateful to my Verhovay correspondents near and far, especially Albert Jozik, our English Section Verhovay Journal editorial associate, for his helpfulness, his patience and kindness. And too, it has been a pleasure meeting fellow Ver­­hovayans at the various Verhovay events. Most of them possess the FRATERNALISM which distinguishes our organization from other insuring companies. Perhaps the best expression of how much I appre­ciate Verhovay is that next June, when my twelve year old son will enter the ninth grade, his gift from me will be a VERHOVAY CERTIFICATE. ' But it would be unfair of me to take the entire credit for this rare kind of gift. Louis Vassy, our district organizer, had much to do in convincing me that I could do no better to my son than by taking out a VERHO­VAY CERTIFICATE for him. Double cheer goes to Mr. Vassy’s good salesmanship. I sincerely wish that every Verhovay mother who has neglected to insure her children in Verhovay would get an opportunity to talk with Dist­rict Organizer Vassy, then there would be more 100% Verhovay families. And in closing I strongly urge our secretaries, district organizers and other field workers to make this the feature of their program for 1942: MORE 100% VERHOVAY FAMILIES! Fraternally yours, MRS. GABRIEL SONKOLY Publicity Agent. Branch 361, Cleveland, Ohio. have gone on to greater glory if his eyes hadn’t al­most popped out of his head. So I broke down and told him I was just a fortunate person with a generous uncle. Pennsylvania rolled past. Hills gradually sloped to foothills. Farm land lay on all sides, quiet and serene. I changed trains at Lynn­­dale, Ohio, and soon I knew we were riding on Indiana soil. I struck up a conversa­tion with a middle-aged gentleman who sat directly; in front of me. He asked me where I was headed. “South Bend’’ I told him. Immedi­ately we were the best of I pals because he and I have a mutual love, Notre Dame. At 9:30 a conductor came through calling the next stop... South Bend. A wandering Hoosier was back home again. Let me tell you a bit about that territory. You have never seen a harvest moon until you have seen In­diana’s. And air ... it is a joy to breathe the cool, fra­grant air. You fill your lungs to the bursting point and hate to release the sweet­ness. South Bend is a very active town right now. The Studebaker Corporation is (Continued on Page 5)
