June 10, 1943 Page 7 As Charlotte whirled around to see who the owner of the strange voice was — to see who it was that knew so much about her — her elbow struck some­one. It was a young man, who, during the excitement that followed her bouquet catching feat, had gone in her direction to identify the lucky girl. Charlotte, instead of continuing her search for the man who’d spoken a moment ago, started to apologize to the person whom she had just brushed against. “I’m so--------” she began, but stopped, for she was looking directly at Jeff, who till this moment had not been able to identity her. He had arrived as Madge started up the stairs. He had missed the church ceremony, due to his having an emergency operation to perform. Something prompted Jeff to say what he did. He suddenly realized that this was an im­portant occasion. He must say the right thing. He wished to regain her heart. “My, you look nice with a bridal bouquet, Sherry,” he said, very pleasantly, with an ex­pression of great affection in his brown eyes. Charlotte giggled softly, just as she used to at his compli­mentary remarks. Gosh, he had called her “Sherry”, just as in the old days before all her stupid stubbornness! “Think so?” she asked, mis­chievously, just as she’d formerly done. “I know so,” came the reply. She hadn’t meant to giggle, but somehow the surprise had caught her off guard. But now she felt so relieved, for her resentment toward Jeff, which she’d nurtured for so many years, had suddenly left her And now it seemed like just yesterday that they’d been so devoted to each other. “You look lovely, Sherry, but I think you need a Coke”, grinned Jeff. “Care for one at the drug-store on the Avenue?” Charlotte laughed an effer­vescent laugh. “I’d love to have a coke with you,” she answered. A girl in her teens was startled when the maid-of-honor thrust the bride’s bouquet into her arms, as she glided past her with a young man, who was beaming happily. A week later, Madge and John, in a distant city, entered a restaurant at breakfast time. In a few days they would return home — to their home which would be just a small appart­­ment furnished to fit their needs. If there hadn’t been a war, they would now have been established in a large home of their own, which they had planned to have built according to all their whims and fancies. They still had the plans which were to be used in not so many years, when all their War Bonds would mature. For the money they’d saved for their home had gone, not into the erection of a dwelling place for two people, but into the building of a structure far more essential — something far more wonderful — Into the building of a foundation for FREEDOM and PEACE in a wonderful country — the U. S. A.! Yes, there would be some time to wait for the house, but when two people very much in love can be together, years go by rapidly and pleasantly. The separation had been long enough during the war. They weren’t the only young people who had altered their plans. For the conditions of PEACE had brought situations to which the youth of America had, with their enthu­siastic adaptability, adjusted themselves. After ordering their food, they decided to look over the home­town paper, which John carried into the restaurant. A small item caught their attention. It read: BROWN-MORGAN MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Miss Charlotte Morgan, at­tractive daughter of C. L. Morgan, of New York City, became the bride of Dr. Jeffrey Brown, yesterday at a very quiet ceremony in the church on Walnut Avenue, of this city. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. George C. Smith. The bride, a charming blonde, looked lovely in a pink suit with Navy accessories. Her flowers were gardenias. Their romance, which cul­minated in their marriage, began during college days. All their many friends will receive the announcement of their marriage with great in­terest. Verhovayak Lapja FRANK KOKOTH Frank Kokoth, member of Br. 376, Pittsburgh, Pa., is now serving in the U.

Freedom from want, Mr. Welles points out, depends upon people being able to find useful work continously and to exchange the things they produce for things other people can make. The problem of removing obstacles to fair exchange is more difficult than the problem of production. “It will take much wisdom, much cooperative effort, and much surrender of pri­vate, short-sighted and sectional self interest, to make these things all come true. But the goal is free­dom from want, individual security and national pros­perity.” Buy War Bonds (The End). AN insurance premium is tiny compared to the hole it may cover. VERHOVAY LADIES AUXILIARY Branch 96 — Chicago, ill. Just about an hour ago I was listening to the Hungarian Hour, when Mr. Cornelius Szakatits, conductor of the radio program, announced that Helen Feleky, Branch 96’s only wave, passed her exams successfully and that she was home with her folks for a few days. Congratulations, He­len, on your progress so far. Here’s hoping that the rest of the going will be fairly easy. I also had the good fortune today to be visited by a sailor friend, Andy Dako. He’s travel­led many miles by water, one of his sojourns being to Africa. He expects to leave for New York this coming Saturday, to shove off for parts unknown again. While on the subject of the Navy, I might mention that Frankie Ziga had been trans­ferred to Navy Pier from the Great Lakes Naval Training Stations. He gets to come home week-ends, for some good home made Magyar goodies. ♦ * * Secrets will out, as we all know. Frank Tinich, Jr., for one, couldn’t keep his for long. Yes, he was recently married to the former Helen Dyrek. Good luck and best wishes to the young couple. * * * We all know that the boys in service sacrifice a lot and it’s up to us to keep the boys far from home as happy and comfortable as possible when they stop in our city. Chicago, as all other cities and towns thru out the United States, boasts, of several Servicemen’s and U.S.O. Centers. These organizations are kept going through the generosity of the hotels, stores and people, who give food,, books, furnish entertainment and all that is necessary to keep things going. The members of the Auxiliary, too, are donating some cakes and cookies for the boys this month. These were taken down to the Servicemen’s Center on Washington Street after our meeting on Friday, June 4th. Due to the rationing of some ingredients that go into cake and cookie making, it was not ex­pected that they be home baked. However, I’m sure the boys understand. * * * On May 23rd, thirty-nine West Pullman Verhovayites travelled to Milwaukeee for that return bowling match. Auto­mobiles, of course, were left at home and so we went by train. We arrived in Milwaukee a bit after twelve, when we wei-e met by a few of the Milwaukee male bowlers, who chauffeured us to a restaurant for our lunch. Bawling started at 1:30 P. M. at the Lutheran Bowling As­sociation Alleys. The scores submitted show just how we made out. After bowling we all treked over to the Milwaukee Hall, just a few blocks from the bowling alleys. About 7:00 P.M. a delicious dinner was served by the ever gracious and very capable hostesses of Verhovay Branch 475. The evening, however, wasn’t devoted only to the bowlers. There was a more important task on hand, the dedication of the i Service Flag. Mr. George Weiler, whom I have always admired as a speaker, acted as toastmaster. Present at this event were several of Milwaukee’s prominent men. After supper, dancing followed. If there would have been a dancing contest, I’m sure Frank Meyerchick would have received first prize. You wouldn’t think that he was the father of four grown children. Finally the gang got together and started for home. We all thanked the Schmidts, the Sinitz family, the Starks and all those who labored hard to make our visit enjoyable.. Many thanks, Milwaukee, from the Bowling Gang from West Pullman foe your hospitality. Here’s hoping that we get to see you people soon. “Dickie” Bankó reached the ripe old age of four on May 28th.
