ffcge * Verhovayak Lapja August 26, 1943 jjyhich all our fraternal societies »vere originally founded — «Thou shalt lóve thy neighbor As thyself”. How better educate Our neighbors on getting along (With each other than by putting Into print methods employed by Successful groups? And you want to cut down on our Verhovay (Journals! Tch, tch! ifrl • — — $ Seems as if I never get an Opportunity to rave about our perfect summer at the lake — *;too many Verhovay “goings-on” gives me little space to go into the raptures I’ve been aching to spread out to you. Maybe I Can condense portions of the things I like best into bits. Maty Kuritar was my perfect Vacation guest. She came out here early one Sunday morning in August — must have been about 4 in the morning. Of course 11 had to be awakened out of ! perfect slumber, which can be ? acquired only in the country. , We stayed up long enough to see day break — with a bang! , Went down to the lake shore, Where everything is quiet, and . peaceful; slept only long enough . to keep the sandman happy , (There is swimming, fisaing. digging for dear little angle. worms; and after that lovely Summer rain, the juicy night Crawlers come out of hiding. Do I they ever make swell food for ; blue gills and sutuisr.! It’s always fun to wade along the Shore with a minnow net, catching the squirmy, little shiners for perch and black bass, etc. (I never caught any of the etc.) Then comes cold, cloudy flays, and we must break our backs bending for twigs and dry branches which must be broken into smaller pieces for kindling. Ask Mary about chopping cedar logs on the shore for the more lasting fires! She'll be happy to inform you that when chopping hard wood like cedar, you must Wear shoes, else you nearly cut Off that important little toe! Long evenings are spent with a bottle of beer, a cigarette, and a nice warm wood fire Where all sorts of ideas are exchanged and dreams built; Which must be lived out next day when lying on the dock, looking up at perfect blue skies, and lovely, white, fleecy clouds E accenting same. Fishing is always fun, especially when you ! have to train an amateur to bait , her own hook — “never will I Í fish”, says Mary K., “if I have [ lo put those wriggly worms on ‘ a hook, or torture that poor, ’ helpless minnow”. “Nertz Says I, “if you want to fish, bait . your own dern hook. I’m too busy pulling them in to fool around with a sissy”. So Mary puts all her femininity to the " back of her mind until she returns to the city, and soon is an expert. Gosh, even my Larry Can put a worm on! Wednesday bight is the night of the weekfree movies! Boy, do we ever ' Hread rain for Wednesday! Going Into Ann Arbor to a good movie, Will never equal the thrill of that two-bit cowboy pitcher, Where we hiss the villain with ’ gusto! And the amateur show "fbefore it gets dark enough to [flash Toonerville Trolley comics pn the screen — it‘d take four itolumns just to describe the kick We get out of that! My pet lobby is riding my new bike ground the Lake — white shorts fnd that beautiful tan! Well, er did like being ignored, and that’s one way you won’t be! Always save the best for the last — d’you ever take a rowboat out and try to climb up that pathway of silver which a full moon makes on water! You get out about the middle of the lake and just let ’er drift — you smoke a cigarette, and dream! One night I did that, and the stillness and beauty of the night relaxed me so that just closing my eyes (for a minute) I woke up minutes later two miles or so from home. Rainy days are swell, because then you stay in the cottage and read mystery novels (take note, John “Dirk” Phillips) or type letters to the boys away from home, or dope out articles hoping you folks will like it (sometimes you even do). All we need is a slight breeze blowing around the place, and we’ve a fire going in the fireplace — those cedar logs sure do give out a nice aroma! But, I could go on and on and really go into the minutest details, and if you aren’t bored now — I could certainly achieve even that! BRANCH NEWS! Our August meeting at the lake was the most fun in a coon’s age — Mrs. Samuel Toth and Mrs. Mary Horvath and their ^bathing suits! Mrs. Mary Bores and Casmer, Mr. and Mrs. John Fisher and family, Daniel Robb, Michael Kuritar, Mrs. Mary Horvath and kids, Steve and Nicholas Horvath and Sylvia, Rose Horvath from branch 356 (Rose should transfer over to 429); gee, if I forgot anyone, I’m certainly sorry. That was a tough day for me as it was Larry’s first day out of the hospital — he’d taken to investigating the lock on the rear door, going into Detroit one night, and he fell out — kerplunk! on the side of the road. He was completely knocked out, and the kid spent 72 hours in the hospital getting checked up for concussion and what have you? Nothing more serious than bruises and shock, but as I said, my mind wasn’t on Verhovay stuff. It’ll be a long time before I put that picture into the back of my mind. / However, we settled that President Fisher would be captain of the men’s bowling next season and all details will be arranged by him. Nicholas Horvath reported on the cruise proposition which seems to be lined up for either August 29 or Sept. 5. We’ll either take two small cruisers, or one larger one — Nick gets the dope at the Coast Guard meeting Wed. nite. We’ll cruise up the Detroit River from the foot of Southfield Road, out into the Amherst Channel, cruise around Bob-Lo Island, > and back to Sugar Island, which is a private Island. That big dance hall they used to have there now belongs exclusively to spiders, and mice, and things, so if Ethel Koy will bring her phonograph and her Hungarian and English records, we can share the place with the little critters. We’ll have our weiner roast, and everyone bring your own beer. (Secret — you can buy it in Ann Arbor Thursday, ^ Friday and Saturday evenings from 6 to 8 p. m. — bring your own cases —I know!) Then after a peachy day out on the river, we cruise back home. Do you like it? Call President Fisher at VInewood 2-4517 or Mary Horvath at VInewood 2-8668 for reservations. The first 30 members and their friends will share in the fun. Expenses will be shared by the group, and full details will be given by those in charge. Seaman Frank Szopko of branch 36, stationed at Grosse Ille, brought two handsome brutes out one Sunday, with members Ethel Koy and Velma Handa. And all those three men wanted to do were to sit in the rockers on the front porch, and talk, and drink that stuff they put up in brown bottles! Frank sure looks good — we discussed Verhovay until it oozed out of our ears. Vacation notes will be saved for next issue — lots of members lots of places, but I still like the lake best! Could add that the family of Mr. Alexander Gyulay, our western division manager, are leaving this week for California — take note, Albert Steinmetz! There’s a trip I’d like to add to my collection some year! Our September meeting will be temporarily postponed, on account of I don’t know when I’ll get back from the National Convention. So you boys and girls had better get started on your bowling, and have nice things wrapped up for me to take apart when I get back. You’ll be on your own, let’s see what you can do with it! What happened to Pvt. Bill Kohut and the Scribe of Kőszeg? Don’t tell me I’m to be ignored — No, not that! I’d rather be taken apart than to have you give me the air? See, what’d I tell you, Cpl. John “Dirk” Phillips — I stick up for my rights and when I do — they quit fighting. Maybe that’s why certain parties want the Journal published only once a month — they can’t stand one lone woman expressing her views — no matter how original they may be. (Or how fiery and sincere I may be). Well, looks like a nice Convention ahead of us — so far I know John Sabo, Abert Ari, Frank Brogley, Dr. Jos. Prince, Stephen Lukacs, Julius Macker, Mrs. Katalin Demeter, John Kremple, Leslie Nyiri, Richard Phillips, Alexander Gyulay; I remember Mr. C. Revesz and Mr. J. Bencze (even if tíiey don’t) — h’m, I’ll be in there fighting! So long. BRANCH 366 Cleveland, Ohio NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS! On Sunday September 12th, at 7:00 P.
