June 25, 1947 Verhovay Journal PAGE 3 SUNKIST SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ECHOES By Albert B. Steinmetz Member of Branch 525 “Hello, Mr. Steinmetz!’! chiiped this “good looking petite brunette” and I was momentarily rendered speechless and felt a slight blush on my face. (Imagine an old crow like me blushing.) “Hello, but whom do I have the pleasure of meeting? Your face is familiar . . .” “Why Mr. Steinmetz? . . . Just a short year ago we were in Pittsburgh, had our coffee and pie together, sitting at the same dinner table at the Hotel Fort Pitt.; I am Miss Gallovich, from Detroit . . You could have knocked me over with a feather . . . This of course took place at the Magyar House here in Los Angeles on June 8th when and where Branch 525 held it’s 1st Picnic. Our former Dances always went over big and this our 1st Picnic sure was a splendid success again. Miss Marie Gallovich, her mother, and father, as well as her nephew Jack Vivian and her brother John joined us in our festivities along with many other old friends, new guests and new settlers here in our southland. The Galloviehes drove west to Tucson, Arizona, where John attended the University of Arizona working for a Dr.’s degree in Archeology. Their stay in L.A. was very short lived, 3 days, and rushed back to Detroit, where they all are members of branches 36, 429 and 443. The fine food and drinks, plus the music of A1 Thomas and Ella Szarka’s Gipsys was tops and worth mentioning in this column are, also, the special singers who were good and better. The ever friendly Idol of bygone days, Király Ernő, famous Hungarian singer, introduced a young blonde Hungarian talented singer from the east, Miss Manci Király, (no relation to Ernő,) and her songs were very well received, so was MOROZI Borai Lya’s singing who accompanied herself on her guitar. She is here in Hollywood from N.Y.C. Mrs. Pál, Mr. Morovick, and young Donald Fetcho also sang several songs. Our Thanks to all these friends of VERHOVAY. The baking of the “Székely Kürtös Kalács” outdoors, at an open fire, was a special feature, and Mrs. Szabó and her helpers deserve a special round of applause for their fine work. Even “Old Timers” marvelled and young Americans gasped at the process of baking (harbecueing) this famous Hungarian Pastry. Your Columnist feels that Br. 525 is very sorry for being unable to serve every one. The fried chicken, székely gulyás, and the Kolbász was not enough. I’m sure We’ll try to please all of you next time. * * * The merger of the Workingmen’s Sick Benefit Federation into the VERHOVAY was welcome news even here in L.A. where 46 members joined us. This .Columnist welcomes them all, whether they’ll join Branch 525, or start a new Branch. * t- * Congratulations are in order for my Good friends Andrew Rabéi, a U.S. Mail clerk in Torrance, Calif., and the former Vilma Bubinsky, formerly of Youngstown, Ohio, who became man and wife on March 8th. Wedding bells also rang for Violet Goodheart and Dan Kinda of Branch 524 on May* 17th, (sorry kids, for being unable to attend youf affair.) * * * In the Craddle Roll this time we are proud to report the safe arrival of Charlotte Ann Sakey, whose 8 lbs., and 1 oz., were recorded on May 15th, in L.A., (a “Sunkist Product.”) VERHOVAY member papa Steve Sakey Jr. phoned me he’s pretty proud. (He as well as wife Margaret were bowlers on our VERHOVAY teams last season.) Congrats to all of you. * * $ •Welcome back to Sunkistland again, Barbara Pasti. Hope your Operatic and other Concert engagements in our southland will again be very successful. * * * Those of you who read my “BIRTHDAYS” columns in the JOURNAL look for my special announcement with that column. Hope to hear from all of you . . . * * * To Brother Louis Farkas, Trenton, N. J. May God console you in your deep bereavement, in the loss of your faithful wife. I was shocked to read of her sudden passing, but cherish the memory of seeing her less than a year ago when I stopped in for the last time,) for a few minutes, while on my eastern tour. God Bless You. * * * To several inquiring reader friends: why my photo is omitted from the heading of my columns ? I really don’t know. Ask the editor . . . (The editor wishes to assure both the columnist and his friends that the omission was purely incidental and unintentional ... In fact, the omission has nothing to do. with the editor ... A new cut already has been made to replace the second one lost in our Detroit printing and the delay has been explained to our Sunkist reporter.) * * * Brother P.G., Buffalo, N. Y. Thanks for the circular. Keep up the good work. The general public may be fooled sometimes, but God never. I can assure you that “all that glitters in Los Angeles, is not gold”. Some conditions have foul odor here, and more arid more people learn about it. This columnist always believes in decency and decent people of any class. Hypocrites I have nothing to do with, ever . . . Many Angelenos wave asked me to print certain l ews in my column. Sorry, no controversial items in the JOURNAL. This is a fair policy sometimes . . .

The representatives of the above branches are requested to appear at the previously announced hour and place for the District Meeting. ALEX NEMETH, District Recorder. Bowling Tournament Scores Corrected Tournament Secretary R. R. "Pop” Diliinger and his assistants did their best to make a foolproof tabulation of the scores, but time was too short for checking their figures. As “Pop” Dillinger writes in his letter to Supreme Auditor John Sabo: “You will recall that the tournament was not over until 6:30 P.M., and your banquet was scheduled for 7:30 P.M. and I think we had these results for your bowlers at 8:00 P.M., a task I feel that was nearly perfect, anyway.’’ Whatever was lacking of perfection, is supplied in the following: WILLIAM NOCH, bowler of Braneh 429, Dearborn, Mich., is awarded $10 for finishing fourth in the All Events in the Men’s Division inasmuch as he compiled a total pinnage score of 1,703 pins made up of a, 546 series in the team event, 549 series in the two-man event and a 608 series in the individual event. TEN awards, instead of the nine originally reported, are made in this group and apologies for the unintended omission are offered to fellowmember William Noch! A regretable confusion resulted from the erroneous placing of headings over the columns of scores in the All Events in the Women’s Division. These listings are correct as to pinnage total and prizes awarded, only the column headed “Singles” should be headed “Team Event” and the heading “5 Woman’’ should be replaced with “Singles”. Otherwise the compilation is correct and that, indeed, makes "Pop” Dillinger’e listings perfect. We wish to take this opportunity to extend in behalf of the bowlers of the Verhovay our appreciation to him and his assistants for their excellent services.
