Page 4 Verhovayak Lapja. March 25, 194S LET TRUTH BE UNCONFINED CHICAGO BRANCH 503 Conscience is the root of all true courage; if a man would be brave let him obey his conscience. —J. F. Clarke On Tuesday morning, March 9th, 15 year-old Frank Huziany left for active duty with the Coast Guard. A sophomore at Chicago’s Kelly High School, where he was Cadet Corporal of the ROTC, Frankie termed it “kid stuff” and wanted to see action. When he was questioned by the Coast Guard officer at the U. S. Courthouse (where he underwent examination), Frank told him he was 17, and that he didn’t want to be with the cavalry patrolling the coast. He wants to be a machine-gunner on a PT boat, and as such was signed up. It took the signatures of Frankie’s brothers and sisters to petition the parents to give their consent. The last we heard is that he is stationed at the Training Station at Augusta, Michigan, and is enjoying his surroundings. * * * Another member wearing Uncle Sam’s military dress is Pvt. Anton Kovács, who went to duty just recently. At the present writing he is at Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois, and it seems that he is scheduled for some special training, more in line with the job that he did in civilian life. We hope to hear from him soon. * * * At Camp Grant also is Pvt. John Sanoshy (2100 Fremont Street). Johnnie, too, was inducted a few weeks ago to take up the fight for freedom and we trust that we shall be having some word from him in the near future. * * * Frank Hódíts, Seaman 1/C, who has already been to the African shores and back, was recently in town on a 21-day furlough. He visited Secretary Balogh several times but was unable to find him. The Secretary regrets this and hopes that he will see Frank the next time he is in town. * * * It is with pride that we can point out to another young mem­ber of 503 who is an aviation cadet in the Navy. At present he is studying at the U. S. Naval Flight Prep. School at De Pauw University, Greencastle, Indiana. Sanyi writes us on February 20 that he finally realized his wishes after waiting for three months, He is scheduled to study at the War Service Pilots Training, at the Iowa University and then finish his studies for at least 6 months at a Naval Air Base. “I have quite a lot to look forward to,” adds Sanyi. Yes sir, you have, and we’re mighty proud of you. Writes he further rather interestingly: “We get up at 5:45 A. M., eat at 6:30, start school at 7:00 until 10:30, when we have gym until 12:00. At 12:15 we eat and at UP. M. we return to school until 5:00 P. M. From that time until 6:15 we are free (but usually have to study). Then at 6:15 we eat and from 7:00 till 8:'5 we have to study. We are free again from 8:45 till 10:00, but this time again is used for studying. You see, we finish 4 books within 3 weeks and, believe me, that’s really learning fast. We don’t get much time to ourselves at all.” Another interesting point brought up by Sanyi is this: “The school is on the basis of Annapolis or West Point. Every Cade is addressed as ‘Mister’ and we march in military formations every­where.” * * * George Fury, Jr. (1431 Granville Avenue) made arrange­ments to celebrate his 25th wedding anniversary with the 50th wedding anniversary of his dad, George, Sr. (1825 W. Washburne Ave.). However, Gyuri Bácsi, as the Senior is known, was taken ill and the celebration postponed. We hope that by the time another Scribe’s column appears a report on the celebration can be made. STABILITY PROGRESS Careful, conservative and sound investments assure the STABILITY of Verhovay’s fűi de and securities, thereby giving full confidence to members and prospective members. Verhovay’s encouragement and promotion oi social movements within and among its branches is in keeping with the spirit of true FRATERNALISM. With its assets making sizable gains yeai after year and its membership increasing by leaps and bounds Verhovay sees before itself a definite future which spells PROGRESS SOCIABILITY rather than frowned upon is regarded as essential to the well-being of Ver ho ray life and activities. SOCIABILITY FRATERNALISM VERHOVAY FRATERNAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION 345 FOURTH AVE PITTSBURGH, PA. No matter how late Secretary Frank Balogh works at night at the defense plant, he makes a good time after. (He works from 3 P. M. to 1 A. M. On January 30th the Verhovay Branch 503 was represented by its officials and members at a VICTORY DANCE sponsored by the Hungarian Wend Sick Benefit Society, at the Northwest Hall. Secretary Balogh arrived at the dance when the Gypsy Orchestra was playing its last waltz. So he decided, with a few others including Mrs. Balogh who was earlier at the dance, to visit the Blue Danube Cafe. The party included the Misses Irene Mohapp and Irene Popp, and Louis Hamros. That a most pleasant time was had is evidenced by the fact that they remained at the Blue Danube until 6 A. M. THE SCRIBE OF KŐSZEG SENSIBLE MANPOWER PLANNING The Committee on Man­power of the Petroleum In­dustry War Council, has gone about the problem of meeting the manpower needs of the oil industry in a practical and intelligent manner. It points out that all companies must antici­pate the loss of men, and plan in advance to replace such losses, that the indus­try has a great opportunity for service to the nation, and a great responsibility; that it must impress on employes that they are doing a real war job. and that it must solve the manpower problem intelligently within the in­dustry. The committee makes 14 suggestions for maintaining personnel: 1. Each company establish an employment pool and never let en employe be re­leased for lack of work in his department until it is known he cannot be used somewhere else. 2. Employ women and old­er men whenever possible. Women have shown amaz­ing ability. 3. Explore the possibilities of increasing the use of non­white employes. 4. Cease retiring able people because of retirement age. 5. Examine list of em­ployes over 38 years of age in the armed services and ask them if they wish to return to work. They can now be released for an essen­tial employer. 6. Don’t depend for man­power on draft deferment, except in cases of key men. 7. Encourage present em­ployes to find now employes among relatives and friends. 8. Young married men en­tering service frequently leave wives qualified for a good job. 9. Relax rules that may require resignation of wom­en employes who marry. 10. Relax physical require­ments. Physically handi­capped persons can fill jobs. 11. Consider the uses of Manning Tables developed by the War Manpower Com­mission. 12. Exhaust all the self­­help that lies in up-grading, in job break-down, and in inplant training. 13. For professional per­sonnel such as chemists, en­gineers, draftsmen, first­­class mechanics, when ne­cessary exhaust every effort for deferment. Consider women also. 14. Inquire how soon em­ployes will be called and arrange replacements. “An order” of the War Manpower Commission about non-deferrable occupations “which was intended to app­ly to such things as orna­mental glass, costume jewel­ry or greeting cards does not carry any implication for such vital industries as oil... which wartime Amer­ica must keep fully man­ned.” Therefore, oil company employes should not mis­takenly and thoughtlessly seek to change their em­ployment.
