Page 8 Verhovay Journal June 26, 1946 The Verhovay Album of Branch Managers CHARLES NEMES — BRANCH 13 — TRENTON, N. J. The Board of Directors at their meeting held in April, 1946, conferred the Verhovay '“Acknowledged” title to 11 fellow-members in recognition of their services as branch-officers for many years. The readers of the Minutes of that Board-meeting will have noted that 7 out of these 11 promoted Vethovayans, are members of Branch 13, Trenton, N. J. Three out of these seven “Acknowledged” members were granted this coveted Verhovay citation in recognition of having secured more than 75 new members. Certainly a branch having such an unusual number of enthusiastic officers, has a great past and an even greater future. Charles Nemes is one of the seven members of Branch 13, Trenton, N. J., whom the Board of Directors honored by the awarding of the Verhovay “Acknowledged” title, the Silver Medal and the Citation. He is one of the three officers of this branch, each credited with the securing of more than 75 new members. This outstanding achievement was attained by Mr. Nemes during the last four years and, thus, he has contributed a great deal to the development of this branch which had 465 adult and juvenile members in March, 1946. Mr. Nemes was born in Mátészalka, Szatmar County, Hungary, on April 8, 1893, and resides at 511 Home Ave., Trenton, N. J. Taking active part in the religious and social life of his community, he served the local Free Magyar Reformed Church as lay-president and treasurer for many years. Mr. Nemes plans to increase the adult membership of Branch 13 to 451 in order that the branch may be entitled to send two delegates to the next national convention. His record as branch-manager proves that he will attain his goal. “SUMMER VACATION” The end of May, the first of June Comes the school child’s paradise — “School’s left ut,” Merry voices call — Their shouts echo to the skies. Again their hearts are at liberty, Rejoicing in the things to come Their minds and souls are free To heartily enjoy the summer fun. Eagerly longing for their freedom, For their vacation, long overdue — To crowd each joyous day full Of their every drc\am come true. To dismiss from thought the school Where the iron-faced teacher reigned, To forget for a time, their promotions — And especially if they have been detained. EMMA JENE EVANS INSURANCE CREED My business provides cradles and clothes, food and fuel, shelter and school and start in life for children who, except for my business, would drift in the tide of misfortune. My business brings peace of mind to the worker at his work, and in his nightly rest . . . restoring and strengthening him In the knowledge that his loved ones are protected. 'My business saves thoughtless, thriftless men from the cruel consequences of their come-easy-goeasiness . . . not by rod or rule, but by reason of appeal to their hearts. My business safeguards the saver against the losses he cannot foresee, foretell, or forestall.... against the capital hazards of business . . . against the vagaries of economic tornadoes. My business gives substance to dreams, and meaning and virtue to life itself . . . life which goes on to enrich and ennoble, once the destroying power of poverty is itself destroyed. My business stands in the stead of a father; holds the family together, estates intact, endowments in force . . . and posthumous ambitions unthwarted. My business returns, cash at “noon” if needed, and continues to pay as long as so ordered . . ■ my business grants vacations with pay for the twilight years with never a fear of the sunset. My business transmutes hopes into happiness; anxiety into assuredness; the sword of Damocles SMILES POOR FISH Hayfoot: “I hear you’re in the doghouse.” ■Strawfoot: ‘'It’s the wife’s own fault—she asked me: ‘What’s Betty Grable got that I haven’t got?’ and I told her.” The farmer was anxiously hunting his cow, which had strayed during the night. “Don’t worry,” said the little girl from the city, “she can’t go far, because I saw a man drain her crankcase last night.” ALL WASHED UP Conditions seem about the same all over. A Briton complains to his favorite newspaper that the laundry returns the right buttons but he can’t find the shirt. Where there’s a will there’s a way. A way is a means. To be mean is to be nasty. Relatives are usually nasty. Where there’s a will there are relatives. These jokes can’t be so terrible. When I threw a sheaf of them into the furnace, the fire roared. Then there’s the dumb stenographer who didn’t mail the circular letters because she couldn’t find any round envelopes. Engagement: The time a girl takes until she finds out she c^n’t do any better for herself. An overconfident young man told his professor that he was writing a book for which there would be a great demand. '“What will the title be?” asked the professor patiently. “I will call it Popular Ignorance,” the student replied. “I know of no one more com- Detent to undertake it,” quietly retorted the professor. “Well, Doc, how am I?” “Very well; your legs are still a bit swollen, but that doesn’t disturb me.” “Sure, Doc, if your legs were swollen it wouldn’t disturbe me, either.” REPARTEE It was during a big bargain sale and tempers were rising. “If I were trying to match politeness”, said the woman customer, glaring at the salesgirl, “I’d have a hard time finding it here.” “Will you kindly let me see your sample, madam?” the salesgirl replied. into the scepter of security; the seeds of foresight into the fruits of benevolence. My business makes mansions, humble or high storied, out of mortgages, liens, and tax bills; it makes men out of boys who might have become mendicants; it makes charming, cultured capable women out of girls who might have been indentured to tragedy. My business keeps buoyant the young, alert and alive the old.... and helps hold in honor and love and remembrance the ones who made life worth-while. My business is Life-Insurance. (JOHN A.
