It seems one feels more like standing over the stove and stirring and mixing than when it is hot. This time of the year, we think of pork and kraut dishes and I think in particular of SZÉKELYGULYÁS This recipe is provided by the cook of a famous Hungarian actress but at the same time she advises that unless one has a strong and healthy tummy, you are apt to end up at a spa taking a cure. Personally, I do not agree. We start by browning a chopped onion in shortening, adding pork shoulder cut in cubes which is also browned, add salt and paprika to taste. Add a little water and simmer. In the meantime, wash either canned or fresh sauerkraut in several waters to remove the salty taste, drain, and cook with a spoonful of shortening. When the pork is about half-cooked, add the kraut and cook together until well done. vThen add sour cream, the amount depending upon how much meat and kraut has been prepared, cook one minute longer and serve. We have also set our hearts on making those Magyar-type doughnuts (without the holes) better known as FÁNK _ To 4 cups of flour, we add V2 cup butter, 5 or 6 egg yolks, a cake of fresh yeast dissolved in a little milk, The First Night . . . The , first night of bowling for Branch 37 was on September 11th and not the 4th as previously reported. Another mistake was made in writing about the blouses the women bowlers were to acquire — the plans now call for a complete dress for each of the ladies who preferred this because the dresses can be altered for everyday use after the conclusion of the bowling season. Aside from these errors reported in last month’s Journal, the facts now are fairly correct concerning Branch 37’s season. We should be wearing our new outfits before this edition is printed. Alley Talk The four alleys at Louis Hornyak’s, 9S00 Evans Avenue, are in perfect condition. The floors had been completely sanded and smoothed down and the shellac coating on them gleams like burnished silverware. Your reporter was present last week when the A.B.C., representatives measured ahd calibrated the floors with their delicate instruments and the virdict in regards to the alleys’ appearance and levelness was “excellent”. Mr. Hornyak has been a bowling alley proprietor for 25 years and his demand for perfect floors has always been upheld and acted upon, presenting all bowlers at this recreation hall with the finest possible workmanship. and about 11 to 11 cups of milk, the latter depending upon how much is necessary to make a soft almost runny dough. Mix well, then set the bowl over warm water or a warm corner of your kitchen until the dough rises, approximately 11 hours. Turn out on a lightly floured board, roll out about an inch thick and cut with doughnut cutter. (Remove the little inner circle from' cutter so that you have large doughnut-sized circles.) Have a deep kettle of shortening hot for frying, drop doughnuts, a few at a time into ket- j tie and see that the side that was next to the board is on top, cover and when the bottom is nicely browned turn with a long-handled fork and fry doughnuts uncovered. Remove and sprinkle with powdered sugar immediately. Serve while still warm. Another delicious yet easy to make cake is suggested by one of our Youngstown cooks. These are called KOSSUTH KIFLI Cream 1 lb. butter, add 1 lb. sugar, juice and rind of a lemon, I lb. cake flour sifted with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and cream well. Add 5 whole eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Pour into an oblong or two square cake pans and bake in moderate oven until done. Sprinkle with 8 or 10 walnuts, chopped, and mixed with a little sugar, and cut into cookie shapes with a cutter that is as high as the cake is thick. Bowlers’ Roll Call And here follows the list of the Branch 37 bowlers for the current season: Team I; John Demeter, Paul Kun, Margie ♦ Kun, Pearl Demeter and Irene Frank. Team II: Bill Demeter, Bill Kun, Helen Demko, Bessie Sera and Helen Farkas. & Team III: Coleman Gyure, Paul Varga, Mary Demeter, Mary Kun and Mary Feyes. Team IV: A1 Demko, Willie Kubida, Judy Kun, Irene Resan and Irene Elekes. If you’ll look again at the list of the bowlers, you’ll note that we have quite a few bearing the same names. We have 2 Pauls, 3 Bills, 3 Marys, 3 Irenes and 2 Helens. Also, there seems to be a tendency for last name alikeness. Which just goes to prove how true it is to say that the Verhovay organization really is one big family! A "Kitty” Is Born . . . At the last meeting we decided to asses a 2 cents fine for all “blows” in our bowling and, judging from the first night’s performance, we should have a sizeable amount of money in our treasury by the end of the season. We propose to use this money to cover expenses of any matchgames we may hold, plus, maybe, a little party now and then! Newspaper articles, editorials, statistics, radio programs, parent-teacher conferences, open forum discussions impress upon us the seriousness* of the dangers of increasing juvenile deliquency. It is a problem of utmost importance to the entire nation and, as such, the foremost concern of all organizations and institutions dealing with our juvenile population. In fact, the entire public has been invited to take part in a program designed to end the spreading of juvenile deliquency and this is as it should be, because the present tragic situation cannot be remedied unless all parents, organizations, societies and institutions are willing and able to assume a share of the responsibility for the moral development of the new generation. As a fraternal society we have an immediate interest in the children. Their development is important to us not only because it will determine the future of the nation but, also, because of its inescapable effects on the future of our Association. Then, too, as fraternalists we have assumed the sacred obligation to help J wherever and whenever help is needed. Most of our members are parents and, as such, obviously in need of assistance in the greatest of all tasks, the rearing of children. Once there was a time when society as a whole suported the parents in their task. Those times may have had their faults and disadvantages, and society may not always have rendered the right kind of assistance to the parents in that age, but as a whole, people in those times seemed to manage much more successfully than we with all our superior knowledge of the juvenile mind. Society, today, it not a unit any longer. It has fallen apart into several units which ope-Pin-SplitttTs' Scores In last week’s initial games we didn’t make any exceptional scores, although several members did come thru’ with upper bracket figures. John Demeter had a 180 in his third toss which is very good considering he hasn’t bowled since last year’s Verhovay Tournament. We believe the first few weeks will find most of us with low scores, but as the weeks wear on, we’ll improve. This will wind up another bowling report by your South Side Reporter. I hope to be telling of some exceptional scores in the next edition. So, until then, best of luck to all of you pin-splitters and keep smiling! Fraternally, PAUL KUN, 727 E. 92nd St., Chicago 19, III. rate independently from one another, if not in antagonism with one another. The number of external influences has grown and their quality has deteriorated to a great extent. The latter is ture even as far as the influence of the home is concerned. At the same time, life in general has changed a great deal. Old conceptions, traditions, ideals have given way to newfangled doctrines, many of which still are in experimental stage but have been adopted, nevertheless, as the rule by the major part of the public. The relationship of parents to children, too, underwent a change. The rearing of children by parental authority has been discarded but no proven substitute has been found yet. and, as a result, most parents are experimenting, some consistently, others in a hap-hazard manner, with one or more of the theories offered by the scientists. Small wonder that children get out of hand. No matter how wrong either the parents, or the children, may be, they are always able to find some authority which upholds their methods and attitudes. Sustained ,by them they 'will persist in their ways regardless of the consequences which are bitter in evermore instances. True, many parents and many children benefit by the improvements our age managed to attain in human relationships. But it is impossible not to see that many more suffer in consequence of the hasty exchange of customs, habits, theories and human values. Who is to blame? It is neither easy, nor necessary to answer that question. It is much more important to clear away the misconceptions and to find the way toward improving the chances of our children for a steady and safe character development. Surely, this is a task in which fraternal societies are bound to take part by trying to find the ways and means for rendering effective assistance to the parents, the schools and churches in their endeavors to make good citizens of the children of our confused age. This, of course, does not ijjean that any institution or organization can assume the parent’s share of responsibility. It does mean, however, that the schools, churches and societies must assume their share »and, at the same time establish a definite interrelation between the now often contradictory influences of (Continued on page 9> Midge. , ■■■ ■-= BRANCH 37 Chicago South Side
