FEATHER PARTY As is usual with this congenial owd of members at Branch 429 Dearborn, the first official eetin^ of the fall and winter onths was crammed with plans r the lighter moments of life. Heading the list of good'thing?' come will be a Feather Party be held Friday, December 13 a place still to be designated the Committee of One, Rose arvath. Just as soon as the ir bowler of the women’s oups makes a deal for a hall, e active groups will get busy d follow the instructions of our namic president, Malcolm Mac■od. The cogs in the machine this small, but very-muchive branch will begin to turn d another social affair will beme the entertaining diversion r which 429-ers are noted. Then the latter part of Februy or the first of March another g affair has already been plan’d for the benefit of the Sports apartment. And speaking of is important department of íy branch. I come back again to i item which was included in re Ferret text of the last issue the Journal. Since the probm is universal in all branches, e’d like to show you how we orked it out. . . . We will raffle off a bowlg ball and bag at an affair anned for later in the winter, f the proceeds, 60 per cent of e sales of tickets will go to e Sports Fund and 40 per cent the Branch Treasury. Then e proceeds of whatever affair e decide on (in this instance it ay be possibly a Kocsora—jellied pig’s feet . . . pper) 60 per cent will go to rell the funds of the Branch -easury and 40 per cent will íy those shirts for the bowling am. Instead of waiting until ter in thp season, the members >ted that the Sports Department uld borfow the necessary excises .from the Branch Treas■y, which will be paid back later hen funds are again available. Working social affairs on this :rcentage basis (which can be iried to satisfy all parties) will duce not only the sports groups it also the regular members of íy branch to do their utmost make the event a complete ccess. It will soon be seen at ALL the members co-operate wards one goal — increasing eir various funds—and not only rtain cliques. PITTSBURGH RELIEF MOVEENT — YOUNGER GENERA[ON ... I rather like the Idea the younger American frarnalist in the Pittsburgh area. ieir current plan appeals to me :ry much and now that I am ;re in Pittsburgh on the curnt auditing trip, I am getting rst-hand information and also ORK! Those of you who have time to ad only your favorite columns ay have missed an important :m in the last two issues of e Journal by two of our young en, The Scribe of Kőszeg who rites, “Let Truth be Unconned,” and Bill Kohut in his lomestead Merry - Go - Round” ilumns. In short, it amounts to this . A "SHOES FOR HUNGARY” ovement was Begun in the noky City area under the leadship and co-operation of the >uth in the cities surrounding Jit '1'ilMBWiliniMilW ~ Pittsburgh. Their object is 600,- 000 shoes to be collected for our unfortunate brethren in wartorn Hungary. They have their officers, meetings, their various committees and a PLAN OF ACTION—wich works!! The Movement will not only aid the needy in the Mother Country, but will do a great deal more in drawing together the children of all Hungarian-born parents. This plan could be adopted in many other cities and I believe the aggressiveness and tolerant cooperation of these "young American-Hungarians will produce a great deal to relieve the suffering of those unlucky and unhappy peoplq of at least one wartorn country—Hungary! In the next issue I will have more information of a first-hand nature as I will be attending one of the meetings of the newly organized Chapter 117 of the American-Hungarian Relief Inc. in a few hours of this writing. Would it be possible to do this in Detroit also? I can name off at least 20 or 25 prospective members who would be more than willing to do their share . . . How about it? BOWLING SCORES OF 429 TEAM Team is in first place winning 28 points in 32 in eight weeks of bowling. Match game is scheduled with Branch 36 Women’s team on Sunday, November 24 at Beacon Recreation . . . we need a Booster’s Gallery so come and see the hot games!

OH MY Willie: “Did Edison make the first talking machine, pa?” Pa: “No, son; God made the first one; but Edison made the first one that could be shut off.” 270 Veterans Honored By South Bend Branch On the eve of Gary’s Memorial Day, a festive crowd gathered at the Verhovay Home of Branch 132, Souh Bend, Ind., to attend the grand banquet and dance given in honor of the 270 veteran members of this branch. Branch President Mr. Nyers extended a cordial welcome to the Verhovay veterans of South Bend and expressed his great joy over their safe return from World War II. Frank Wukovits, manager, serving as Master of Ceremonies, introduced Supreme Auditor John Sabo who was greated with tremendous applause by the audience. He conveyed the greetings of Supreme President John Bencze, Supreme Secretary Colomon Révész and Supreme Treasurer John Szalanczy, and then spoke of the war-time experiences of the veterans and the peace-time tasks awaiting them. Msgr. John Sabo, priest of the “Our Lady of Hungary” Roman Catholic Church, expressed his deep gratitude to the veterans for the splendid job they had done. Because a nation is as strong as its citizens, we must follow the teachings of Christ if ours is to be a good nation. He called upon the veterans to do their part in the great struggle for a happier and better world. Frank Wukovits, Manager and Local Organizer, extended his warmest greetings to the veterans each of whom he presented, in behalf of the membership of Branch 132, with a beautiful rvallet. As 234 of the 270 veterans of Branch 132 attended the affair, that many vallets were distributed while those still in service are to receive their gifts at a later date. The beautiful gifts were received with sincere appreciation by the happy veterans. An excellent turkey-dinner, with all the trimmings, was served before the presentation of the gifts and a dance followed lasting until the late (or rather early) hours. The officers and members of Branch 132, well known for their wonderful hospitality, succeeded in giving an unforgetable homecoming party for their returned veterans who had a wonderful time in addition to the walletts which, for many years to come, will remind them of the brotherly spirit prevailing among the membership of our South Bend branch.

Some ob de boys is kickin’ mighty pow’ful ’bout it. But I ain’t goin’ to kick none. Way I figgers it—half of sumpin’ is beter’n all of nuffin’.” VERHOVAY BRANCH NO. 37 Chicago South Side Thanks to the steadfast insistance of Mr. Joseph Rohaly, Chicago South Side Branch No, 37 Secretary, the young people of this branch, in conjunction with Branch No. 375, have finally organized a bowling league. This idea of a bowling league is much like the famous anecdote by Mark Twain concerning the weather—everybody talked about organizing a league but nobody did anything about it until finally Mr. Rohaly decided that the only way a league would be organized would be to start the proverbial ball rolling and really getting results. And so it came about that he dashed hither and yon, contacting the younger members of the two branches in his spare time and setting a definite date for a general meeting to determine the status of the teams thri would be organized. A meeting was held at Mr. and Mrs. John" Demeter’s home in August and Miss Mary Demeter was elected Secretary, Miss Judy Kun as Treasurer and your truly, Paul Kun, as reporter. This league is being sponsored by the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Ass’n., and bowling shirts have already been made up with the appropriate lettering applied tó them—in this case they read Verhovay Br. No. 37 and Verhovay Br. No. 375—plus the first names of the bowlers on the fronts of the shirts. This is a handicap league as there are those who do not attain as high an average as some of the more seasoned bowlers. The purpose of the league is not one of revengeful and material-gain com- Continued on Page 8 JUVENILE ORDER—MONTHLY REPORT SEPTEMBER, 1946.

Papp Gizella PACKAGES FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF THE HUNGARIAN WORLD FEDERATION Some of the young folks who were fortunate enough to visit Hungary with one of the Verhovay groups, before World War II-, still remember the hospitality extended to them by the Hungarian World Federation, is officers and employees. Nor can they forget how their once so gracious hostesses and hosts suffer since they had been deprived of their livelihood. They decided to do something about it trying to return some of the kindness shown to them when they were the guests of the Hungarian people. Miss Mary Gallovics, popular and charming member of the Verhovay younger set in Detroit, is the treasurer and manager of a little movement whose purpose is to send food-packages to the employees of the Hungarian World Federation in Budapest. Miss Gallovics wishes to acknowledge at this time the following contributions to this movement: Mr. Andrew Fay-Fisher, editor of Pittsburgh, Pa., $1.00, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Horvath, Detroit, Mich., $5.00, Mr. Alexander Himler-Hamilton, New York, $5.00 and Mrs. Louis Szabó, South Bend, Ind., $2.00. Several more donations having been pledged for the neas future, Miss Gallovics hopes to be able to ship three food-parcels at an early date. Her sincere thanks are conveyed to all who have taken interest in this cause. Zeffer Peter Pastor Emma I. Szabó Angeline A. Poczik Leroy Toth Albert Laytos Robert F.
