Steinmetz Member of Branch 525 Sure as the sun rises and sets regularly day by day, Life goes on and on, with its joys, sorows, loves and hates, births and deaths, arrivals and removals... This columnist tries to carry oh with regular worthy Verho­vay News from time to time and he is extremely happy if he hasn’t any distressing news to report . . . The past few weeks several of my readers have remarked how much they enjoy my type of writing, “the rare informal air” that prevails in every column, the fact that my column isn’t “jam-packed” with personal news only . . . and yet, I must sit here on a quiet Sunday after­noon, and' find that this column, probably for the first time, is all personal news . . . news about my fellow Verhovayans . . . But we all belong to the grandest fraternal organization and so, “bits of cheer” about your friends and mine are welcome, too, once in a while. It would be humanly impossi­ble for me to contact all Ver­hovayans .... So I suggest that you contact me from time to time if you have worthwhile Verhovay news that “itches to get into print” in the Sunkist column . . . Your roving reporter found lately the following news about interesting Verhovay personali­ties in the Sunkist land . . . New arrival on August 20th, 1946, the 6 lbs. Lawrence Donald Schott, Jr. The photo of Junior’s beautiful twin-sisters appeared in the Journal over a year ago. Mother and baby are fine! and Mr. Schott is extremely happy about the male addition. Life goes on! Without any fanfare or other special announcements your col­umnist did find out that Miss Olga Irene Somogyi and Mr. Claude E. Bartlett are engaged to be married in the near future! r <-^pi jy ;■ “V­: ' * '!» ' ' ^ ^ O.» - > 1i »*: _____- . MES. MARGIE SIMKO NICHOLSON It is a great pleasure to pre­sent the picture of Mrs. Margie Simko Nicholson, whose wedding on the 23rd of August your col­umnist, too, had the good for­tune of attending. The striking­ly beautiful brunette with a magnetic personality is the sec­retary of the Lovas and Hin­­rich’s Real Estate firm in Culver City, Calif. Mrs. Nicholson her­self just recently passed the ex­amination and acquired her li­cense from the Real Estate Board of California. This former student of the City College of Los Angeles came to California six years ago from Cleveland, O., and your columnist signed her up togeth­er with her husband Mr. Nichol­son, during the 60th Anniversary Membership drive for the Ver­hovay, which made the Simko’s a 100 per cent Verhovay family. Mr. Melvin George Nicholson hails from the “Hoosier State” Indiana and has been a resident of Sunkist land for the past 10 years . . . Equally popular with­in the circle of his friends and elsewhere, he is also a quiet type gentleman of English an­cestry and works in the capacity of a Construction foreman for the Hollywood Fence Co. Mr. Nicholson acquired most of his schooling in Indiana, how­ever, he did take an extension course in Radio Engineering at the California Institute of Tech­nology (CALTECH) in Pasadena, Calif. Reception followed the chapel ceremony at the bride's former home where a grand time was had by all the guests. There is joy also at the home of brother Charles Novak of Los Angeles. His son, Mr. Miklós Novak, and his “new wife” just recently arrived in California from war-torn Marosrudas, Rou­­mania . . . Other recent Verhovay arriv­als in Los Angeles whom I had the pleasure of meet: ng lately are the following. The former Sgt. Joseph Mikita, who recently returned from the European the­atre of war. He did combat duty with the Advancing Force of the 65th Division and, also oc­cupation duty with the 9th Di­vision in Germany and Austria. Mr. -Mikita goes to the Univer­sity of Scuthern California. He expects to become an M. D. soon . . . His lovely wife has a “special twinkle” in her eyes since he came home. No won­der! i Miss Vilma Bubinsky, former­ly of Branch 514 of Youngstown, O., calls Torrance, Calif., south­ern suburb of Los Angeles, her hometown . . . and boys, she, too, is a swell girl! Mr. and Mrs. John Peiro for­merly of Detroit, Mich., Branch 443, came to Los Angeles just a few weeks ago to join their son and wife, Mr and Mrs William Petro . . . They like thousands of others say: . '‘This is God’s country!” The Markovits family has also made California ... It seems that Arpad Joseph Markovits is an Engineer with the Bureau of Mines ... a Government agen­cy—and does pome experimental work for Uncle Sam. They move about the country quite often . . . Uncle Sam also knows that Sunkist California is “God’s Country” and so, knowing well that they’re simply mad about the ocean’, told them to pack up and make California their home for at least six months or a year. Mr. and Mrs. Markovits brought their children, Eva, Bandi and George to California, too . . . However, the two boys couldn’t get into any of the Cal­ifornia colleges due to over­crowded enrollments . . . So the boys had to return to the State University of Missouri, in Co­lumbia. According to last re­ports, the Markovits family are temporarily renting an auto court at $7.00 per day. “Oh, yes—he said—I read your Cali­fornia housing situation warning in the Journal just as we left Missouri . . . and everything you wrote Mr. Steinmetz is true!” Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, guests of my column today: Wel­come and Congratulations to each and every one of you! * * * Southern Californians, Ver­hovayans and others, are eagerly waiting for October 26th, Satur­day night, when the youngest branch of the Association, 527 of Fontana, Calif., will hold their first Hallowe’en Dance at the Slovenian Hall at 185 Cypress Street. This writer is anxious to meet the yet unknown friends in Fcntana and nearby cities at this affair. I couldn’t attend your first “shindig” because of my Eastern trip. This time I hope to meet you all! Say, by the way, the motion picture “Holiday in Mexico” is a delightfully swell musical come­dy. I’ve seen it twice already. Orchids to Ilona and all the others. See it by all means! Thank you, Hans Habe and father, Mr. Bekessy, Sr., for your congratulatory letter addressed to me about my columns. Com­ing’" from professional newspaper Journalists like you, I feel hon­ored! Incidentally, I have learn­ed that Major Hans Habe is a fellow Verhovay member at a New York City branch. Major Habe is very busy here in Hol­lywood, now writing “The Aft­ermath” which already has been bought by Universal-Internation­al for a huge amount! * * s Attention fello w-journalist Dirk Fulöp! Thanks for the “Orchid” you handed me in your August 14th column! May I correct your closing note . . . 1 acquired my wife first and my little girl is a “Big Girl” now! Bet you could go for her, too! Better not! My cottage came last after many years of hard labor . . . Hcnestly, we also think you are a “hearty guy.” Above all, I am glad you’re writing for the Journal again! Thnx! # * * De.Loris Chonko: in New York or Pittsburgh? Thanks for thinking of me! Better ferget about Van . . . He’s tied down! Mrs. M. Sonkoly! Thanks for the 10th Anniversary Album! Wish I could have attended the affair ... I bet you were a proud president! and well you should be! Congratulations!

The attention ei the member rhip is called to the decision of the Board of Directors according to which Juvenile members hold­ing Term certificates will be credited with two month’s dues and those holding Ordinary membership certificates will be paid regular dividends, provided they had been members in good standing for at least three years as of December, 1945, and are not in arrears at the closing of the month of November. In order to qualify for divi­dends, al! members are urged to settle their- arrears before the i end of this month. STEPHEN CHONTOS, Juv. Ord. Mgr. DETROIT, MICH. Branch 443. All members having loans on their ccrtiiicates are requested to pay the interests due on them and also, if possible, to make payments toward the reduction of the loan. With the end of the year overdue interests must be added to the loan which will only resuit in a loss to the bene­ficiaries should the certificate become a claim in the course of the next year. AH members had been notified as to the amounts of their loans and the interest«? due thereon. Now is the time ‘o restore the face-value of these certificates, or at least to prevent further reduction by paying the interests. I also wish to call the atten­tion of my fellow-members to the dividends to be paid during September to all members hold­ing certificates issued with Dec­ember 1942, or earlier dating. Dividends will be paid to these members provided they are not in arrears by the end .of- Novem­ber. It is in the interest of the membership that these matters be properly taken care of before the end of this month. JOSEPH SZABÓ, MANAGER. ASHTABULA HARBOR, O. Branch 284.
