V Page 8 Verhovayak Lapja CHILDREN’S PAGE — Continued Unde Sam's Verhovays January We hail the month of January, Though its weather is contrary; Cold dark evenings are ushered in; We fill to the brim our pop corn bin. Homestead, Penna. Boj« We gather round the warm fireside, And tell of travels far and wide; We feast on buttered pop corn balls; And watch the white snow as it falls. ★ ★ ★ ★ ARPAD S. CHONTOS Our lawns are piled with snow so deep, Flowers beneath are safe asleep; We make a man of sparkling snow With staring eyes that do not glow. NOTICE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN We often skate and sometimes ride O’er frozen pond and meadow wide; Then back and forth the snowballs fly — And almost reach the winter sky! LAWRENCE A.

I The Homestead Merry-Go-Round January 28, 1943 (Continued from page 4) CORPORAL CHONTOS IN INDIA-Inasmuch as it was impossible for me to secure an Army photograph of Corp. Arp Chon­tos, former columnist and special features writer for the Verhovay Journal, I have had inserted in this issue a photograph taken of Arp before he left for the Army. Arp Chontos’ home is in Terrace (Homeville), and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Chon­tos are eagerly awaiting Arp’s return home. I might mention that Arp has two brothers in the Service with another brother, Charley, due leave shortly. In one of Arp’s recent letters he tells us that he is situated in a bamboo building and until recently it was quite chilly therein. However, a new char­coal stove has been installed in this office and life is more com­­fortabe. He writes “Coca Colas and late magazines are unheard of things around here.” I don’t doubt that for a moment be­cause he is many thousand of miles away from these United States and Coca Colas and late magazines. Arp sent some snapshots home in his last letter and on the back of one he wrote referring to a certain town which he visited “It was in this town that I saw a Moslem up in a tree Allah-ing away inter­minably.” Arp must really see some highly interesting things. Incidentally, he cabled flowers home to his Mother and Dad for Christmas from far away India. True expression of love for his folks back home. IMPRESSIONS AND REFLECTIONS The other day I read in the Fraternal Age one of the very best writings on the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Ass’n, that I have seep in print up to this time. It was an article entitled “Verhovay’s Story of Fraternal Insurance Service” by Coloman Hevesz, our Supreme Auditor. In this article Mr. Revesz gave the beginning history of the Ver-, hovay, an introductory to Hun­garian Activjties in America from early times, a resume of the transition from an assessment society to a sound, legal reserve association, and some interesting facts about what Verhovay is, what it has done, and what it is doing now to benefit its mem­bers. In conclusion I might say, “Well done, Mr. Revesz, well done!” Incidentally, Mr. C. Ré­vész was elected to the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania Fraternal Congress during its convention in Pittsburgh on Dec. 3 and 4th. I would like to have Mr. Ré­vész submit his article “Ver­hovay’s Story of Fraternal Insurance Service” to our Ver­hovay Journal for publication in both Hungarian and English issues. I believe the members would all benefit by reading this fine, informative article. REMEMBER ... Whenever you are in distress or forced to change your way of living, or forced to adjust your­selves to new conditions, keep in mind the following Chinese proverb of many hundreds of years ago: “New occasions teach new duties,” It says quite a bit in a few words. A BETTER MORTALITY? In the last issue of the Journal I wrote a paragraph about the necessity of conserving life. I also made mention of the fact that periodic examinations were necessary to discover any ailment or disease and thereby taking preventive means or cures for such diseases and thus prolonging our lives. This is all true and quite important. During these times of con­flict and strife, many millions of our young men are in the military service. They are care­fully checked for " physical ailments, and if any are found, then methods of curing them are applied. This physical training and rectifying of diseases will undoubtedly result in a better mortality for life insurance com­panies. True, those that fall in battle do not help our mortality tables, but this happens under unusual times. In the end those who are benefiting from activity in the Military service will also benefit by having a longer life to live. MY NEW YEAR’S PURPOSE! In the January 1943 number of Monthly Tidings I came across the following poem smack on the front page and it appealed to me so much that I decided to include it* with my article: MY NEW YEAR’S PURPOSE... Ta be a little kindlier With the passing of each day To leave but happy memories As I go along my way; To use possessions that are mine In service .full and free, To sacrifice the trivial things For larger good to be: To give of love in lavish way That friendship true may live.’ To be less quick to criticize, More ready to forgive; To use such talents as I have That happiness may grow To take the bitter with the sweet, Assured ’tis better so; To be quite free from self-intent Whate’er the task I do. To help the world’s faith stronger grow In All that’s good and true; To keep my faith in God and right No matter how things run, To work and play and pray and trust Until the Journey’ done. God grant to me the strength of heart, Of motive and of will, To do my part nor falter not This purpose to fulfill. A NEW YEAR. For VICTORY BUY UNITED STATES DEFENSE BONDS STAMPS «
