November 12. 1947 Verhovay Journal PAGE 3 FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY OBSERVED BY CLEVELAND BR. 48 History Sixteen members of the Verhovay met on January 20th, 1907, and decided to organize a new branch of the Association on the West Side of Cleveland, O. Thus, Branch 45 of the Verhovay F. I. Association was born, more than 40 years ago. These founders, none of whom is among the living today, though aware of the small beginnings of their branch, envisioned a great future for the Association among the Hungarians on the West Side. Determined to make their branch an important factor in the Hungarian public life of the city, they immediately applied for recognition to the Grand Committee of the Hungarian Churches and Societies of Cleveland, and elected their representatives to this body. The confidence of the founders of this Branch has proved itself. Raidly growing, Branch 45 became a pillar of the community and its Hungarian colony, taking active part in all of their pursuits and activities, and building an outstanding record of fraternal service. Hungarian churches, societies as well as the sister branches always could count on the cooperation of the officers and members of this ambitious Branch which today has 692 adult and 179 juvenile members. The greatest progress in the history of this branch was made during the last five years during which 293 names were added to the membership roll of Branch 45. Yet, these wehe the most difficult years due to the discouraging combination of war-time conditions. 72 members of the Branch had left to serve with the armed forces and of these two, Eugene Pachtler Jr., and Edward Mészáros had made the supreme sacrifice. Anxious to give wholehearted support to the boys in the armed forces, the members of Branch 45 willing-ly assumed more than their share of home-front duties. The record of their war-time contributions to the Red Cross, the USO and their warbond purchases in excess of $300,000, is eloquent proof of their patriotic loyalty and devotion. Nor did the members of Branch 45 forget their native land, that unfortunate, war-torn country from which they, or their fathers and mothers came. Branch 45' was the first in Cleveland to propose some relief action in behalf of the Hungarian nation and it was the first to make a substantial contribution to the American Hungarian Relief, Inc. Fraternal service to the members, the nation, and to suffering humanity, — this was the slogan of Branch 45 throughout the 40 years of existence and it was by this attitude that it became one of the most representative branches of the Verhovay F. I. Association. Present Officers Both the progress and the accomplishments of this branch speak eloquently of the excellent leadership enjoyed at all time by its membership. And its present officers are determined to uphold the traditions set by their predecessors. In the face of present-day indifference toward fraternal ideals, they courageously proceed along the path cut by those officers of by-gone days who had enjoyed much more cooperation and encouragement on the part of their fellow-members than is given to the leaders of today. These are thq officers of Branch 45 in the year of its 40th anniversary: Emery Készéi, President, Charles Gründel, Vice-President, Eugene Pachtler, Manager, Mrs. László Csorba, Comptroller, Joseph Brassay, Joseph Ehasz, Louis Balogh, auditors, Louis Szenes, Doorman, Joseph Ehasz and Louis Szenes, Flagbearers.

The Banquet That the 40th anniversary banquet of Branch 45 was held at the Verhovay Home of Branch 14 on the East Side .is proof of the cooperative spirit prevailing today among the Cleveland branches. This was further emphasized by the presence of the deputations of many sister branches who had joined a veritable host of representatives of numerous other societies, all anxious to pay tribute to the membership <jf this fine branch on the occasion of its 40th anniversary.

She played a fine selection of Hungarian songs and dances to which the audience responded with prolonger applause. Dr. Andrew Kovács, director-elect, would have appeared in the program but he was detained due to the death of his father.

After a splendid accordion solo by Joseph Jamriska, branch-manager Eugene Pachtler delivered the closing address, thanking the guests for their attendance and support. A grand dance in the evening concluded the anniversary celebrations. Music was furnished by the Foldessy orchestra. A happy mood prevailed throughout the evening. The anniversary was a well managed affair thanks to the untiring efforts of the officers and the entertainment committee of Branch 45. The sister-branches as well as the churches and societies of Cleveland, O., are to be commended for their kind interest in Branch 45. Surely, the officers of this Branch will find a source of encouragement and inspiration in the assurance that their fraternal contributions to the Hungarian public life in Cleveland have been noted and appreciated by every organization. In behalf of the 60,000 members of the Verhovay, we extend our congratulations and best wishes to the officers and members of Branch 45 upon their 40th anniversary, hoping that will continue on the road of progress, maintaining the high quality of fraternal service for which Branch 45 has been noted at all times.

A GOOD PERSONALITY What qualities make “a good personality?” A noted psychologist put down qualities that, according to his research, arc always present in those who attract others and impress favorably. First come the big three: enthusiasm, tact, self-reliance. Next come memory, aggressiveness, accuracy, co-operativeness, reliability, sincerity, industriousness. Want more ? All riglft. The good personality includes originality, sympathy, friendliness, cheerfulness, decisiveness, and thoroughness. And finally, it embod'es alertness, optimism, tolerance, courage, and an entire lack of criticism. It’s hard to live up to these high specifications. But if you can, you’ll be a salesman and — a man!

Remember this: they that will not be counseled cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason, she will rap you over your knuckles. —Benjamin Franklin
