PAGE 12 Verhovay Journal October 29, 1947 AMERICAN HUNGARIAN FEDERATION CHICAGO CONVENTION By: Stephen Huzianyi Plans for The American Hungarian Federation Convention in Chicago are getting rapidly under way, with some of the details already attended to, such as part of the program, etc., according to Mr. Joseph C. Csanády, Chairman of the Convention Committee. The best news of the week is that Mr. Joseph Sziics (President of the South Side Federation of Magyar Churches and Societies) reported that the Federation, at its meeting held Sept. 25th, voted to cooperate 100% with the Convention Committee. Mr. Joseph Engelhardt was unanimously elected Treasurer of the American Hungarian Federation Convention at a meeting of the Convention Committee held at the Balaton Inn on September 22nd. Through an oversight this fact was not mentioned in the article published last week. Mr. Engelhardt, a trustee of St. Stephen King of Hungary Church and President of the Holy Name Society, is well-known in northside Hungarian communities. i The very popular Miss Yolanka Horkav. the sóprano with a brilliant and colorful voice, is scheduled to sing the American national anthem and the Magyar Himnusz. Mr. Antal Skolny, who has rendered many Kurucz songs on the TÁROGATÓ at various Hungarian functions, will also render ancient, typically Magyar Kurucz songs on the program of The American Hungarian Convention at the Stevens Hotel, November 17 and 18th.
