February 25, 1943 Page 3 VERHOVAY LADIES AUXILIARY KNOW YOUR REPORTERS Verhovayak Lapja Branch 96 — Chicago, III. Mr. Groundhog and I have decided to stick out our heads to see what has been going on around us these many months, and what we might be able to do in the succeeding months. Though Mr. Groundhog returned to his winter hide-out, to con­tinue his nap, yours truly thought that she had better get busy and do something worthwhile. First of all, I must fulfill a promise I made to “Molly” quite some time ago. Sorry, Molly, that I let you and the Journal down. Luckily Mary Sabo has been reporting the goings-on around these parts. Mary Sabo, as the readers are quite aware, doesn’t let the so­­called grass grow under her feet. Be sides fulfilling her duties as Secretary of Branch 96, acting as Publicity Agent for the Parent Teachers’ Association of the West Pullman School and now, hei newest venture, that of being a business woman, she donates very much of her time to a very worthy cause, that of selling War Savings Bonds and Stamps. She is, by the way, Chairwoman of the War Savings Stamp booth which is situated in Wool worth’s Five and Ten Cent Store in Roseland. My hat is off to Mary and to the thousands of women like her who so unselfishly devote not some of their sp ire time but all of it, and then some, too. Thursday nights are still looked forward to eagerly by many of us, for that's our bowling night. No need for me to mention how we are pro­gressing. Frank Tinich has been taking care of that. Two girls’ teams have been entered in the Herald-American Bowling Tournament, which will be on from February 27th to April 4th. As yet I have not been notified what day we bowl. Team bowling will take place at the Bowling Lanes, Inc., 5221 No. Broadway I realize, of course, that the bowling alleys are quite a dis­tance from the South Side, but I’m sure the girls would ap­preciate some friends coming out and cheering for them. Those who are to bowl in the Tournament are — Team 1 — Margaret Prokop, Irene Balia, Helen Ziga, Emma Sieracki and Betty Sabo. — Team 2. — Rose Mleczko, Margaret Chehi, Helen Revay, Irene Bankó and Theresa Tinich. ARMY NEWS. I received quite a few letters from some of our boys in serv­­ise saying that they received our gift packages. Andy Roz­­gonyi said in his letter that he shared his presents with some of his buddies, and asked if we minded. No, of course we don’t mind. Elmer Juhasz is home on furlough from Louisiana: Denes Gyerko has recently been made a Sergeant and A1 Almasy is now a First Sergeant. I vt. Steve Rozgonyi is in Madison Wis­consin, but expects to ieave there shortly. Frankie Ziga, the lad who a few years ago was the neighbor kid who used to come over to the house to read our funnies and magazines, is now stationed at the Great " Lakes Naval Training Station, and Bill Bence is no longer bowling in our league, for he, too, is serving our Country. TID BITS — Irene Almasy is no longer a lady of leisure. Just a few weeks ago she acquired a job in tne Carter Plant Print Shop of the Na­tional Lead Company. She makes the third “Irene” of Verhovay Branch 96 employed by N. L C. Irene Bankó being switchboard operator at the Carter Plant Office and yours truly working at the Chicago Branch Office. I might also mention that Miss Almasy received a beautiful engagement ring for Christmas. The happy (?) donor is Charles E. Fahrenbach.. Belated con­gratulations, Renee and “Chick”! Mr. and Mrs. Glen Ellingson are proud parents of a boy who was born at the Chicago Lying- In Hospital on January 27 th. Tht lad’s name is Ernest Glen and .is the Ellingson’s second cmld. Branch 96’s yearly Valentine Day event turned out quite successfully. Yes, it was ter­rifically cold (it either rains, snows or the temperature drops down as far as possible each and every time we Verhovayites in West Pullman have a shindig), but the good old and young faithfuls came and had a good time. The Auxiliary’s newly elected president was called up­on to make a speach. It took three cokes and (?) to give her the needed courage to face that metal piece of something called “the mike”. I’m supposed to be the re­porter for the Auxiliary, but so far have devoted the space to items concerning Branch 96 in general. Our club is now two years old and as is the usual custom at the end of each year, we have an election of officers. Our year ends in February. Though the members insisted that Mary Sabo retain the presidency she refused on the grounds that her other work takes up all of her time. This year’s officers are — Miss Irene Bankó, President: Mrs. Helen Revay, Vice President; Miss Margaret Prokop, Treasurer and I remain as Secretary. Mrs. Theresa Bankó was elected Program Chairman and it is up to her to select her committee, to see that our members are well entertained at the meetings. THE MAIL BOX — Ferret — I wish you iuck- in the organiza­tion of a bowling league within your branch. It constitutes much work, but it’s really worth the while after the league starts rolling. Milwaukee Women Bowlers — Hope we can meet at the Bowling Lanes. If not, good luck. May you go home with a prize. Before closing, might I add" ‘that though all of us have been asked to do without some things and will have to do without a lot more, but what we at home give up is very little compared to the sacrifices our fighting boys are making every day. So — don’t grumble, take things in their stride, chin up and a big grin on your face. Bye, Fraternally, IRENE BALLA. One of the most effective word slingers among Staple-izer cor­respondents —• when he chooses to write — is Charles Young of the Sheet Metal Shop. Charlie claims to have picked up his undeniable flair for language in a most unusual man­ner: by reading sports accounts of his own bouts when he was in the fight game! When he gave up ring fighting, with a string of something like 35 knockouts and 55 decisions out of 139 engagements, he carried away an armful of cups and medals and counted among his accomplishments the winning of the Niagara District Amateur Championship six different times in the middleweight and light heavyweight classes. This was known to everyone. But some­thing that many did not know was that in the interim Charlie had also learned to bang out good journalistic copy on the portable typewriter he bought one night when flush with his winnings. With this background, it is natural that Charlie should have become one of the Works En­gineering’s first reporters of the Staple-izer when the magazine was enlarged to embrace the entire Rayon Division at this location. He is also the author of a weekly column that ap­pears in the Buffalo Hungarian Herald. Charley started working for the du Pont Company in June, 1932. For the past few years he has been a member of the Sheet Metal Shop. A representative on the Athletic Association Board last year, there is nothing he likes better than promoting dances, picnics and social affairs. Married and the father of two children, Charley lives with his family at 103 Ross Ave. Yes, he is the brother of Rudy Young (Staple Chemical), George Young (“Cel-O-Seal”) and Pete Young (Technical Exp.), all of whom were fighters, too. (From: The Staple-izer) Note: Charles Young is the representative and Branch man­ager of Branch 383, Buffalo, N.Y. He has an outstanding record for getting members for Ver­hovay.
