Its functions and activities are in compliance with home office regu­lations. The first activity of the newly formed club was to enter a bowling team in the Southway Home Bowling League of Youngstown. After a somewhat shaky start we managed very nicely to come through and take the first half championship. We are now starting the second half in a comfortable frame of mind. Our Team’s success is due largely to the capable leadership of our team cap­tain Joe Nagy. Some of our high game scores posted are Joe Nagy 618, John Mislay 580, Les Molnár 528. The other bowlers completing our roster are Steve Novak, Rich. Saf­­ron, Emery Rendes, Joe Tomchak, Jim Mislay and Steve Mislay. Our next undertaking will be of a more social nature. We are holding a large dance on Feb. 20 at the St. Stephen’s Auditorium. Dancing will be free from 8 P.M. till 1 A.M. A very large gathering of our Branch members, local and out-of-town Ver­hovay members are expected. We are urging all members to bring their friends, to make this affair a great success. Music will be furnished by that wonderful Hungarian orchestra the Rendes Bros. We know that with the kind and wonderful patronage of our friends this dance will be a huge success. All the young members of our Branch are urged to join our Sports Club. Bigger and better things will unable to attend. Reviewing the ac­complishments of Mr. Borsody as manager of Branch 222 for many years, he presented him with the Verhovay “Acknowledged” citation and the service medal, awarded to him by the Board of Directors in recognition of his meritorious ser­vices. Mr. Borsody, deeply moved by the speaker’s eloquent tribute and the recognition accorded him by the Board of Directors, expressed his sincere appreciation of the honor be­stowed upon him and assured the assembly of his continued devotion in the service of the membership and the Association. Prolonged applause in tribute of both Mr. and Mrs. Bor­sody, demonstrated the affection and esteem of the assembled guests for this outstanding couple. The dance, following the presenta­tion ceremony, lasted until early morning hours. The popular orchestra of Louis Mezei furnished the music free of charge and the use of the building was donated to Branch 222 by the officers of the Hungarian Home. Both acts are indicative of Mr. Borgody’s unusual^ popularity that, undoubtedly, is the key to the sustained success of his work as Verhovay’s local manager. It is our sincere hope that manager Borsody will continue for many years to come as a guardian o£ the insurance estates of our Canonsburg member­ship. come out of our undertaking if we pledge our wholehearted effort to the advancement of our club. Our goal is to make a great achievement of this worthwhile project. A regular meeting will be held every month. Time and place will be announced at a later date. Any­body wishing any off-hand informa­tion regarding the activities of the club is urged to contact Steve Mis­lay, Tele 6.-1496. WHAT WE CAN CONTROL Someone has said that “just for a change why don’t we do something about the things we can control. For example, none of us can lengthen our Span of life, beyond the hand of destiny, but we can control its width and depth. Nor is it given to us to control the contour of 6ur counten­ance, but we can control its expres­sion — we can smile instead of frown. We cannot alter the distance of our head above the ground but we can control the height of its contents — we can think high thoughts. We have no control over the weather, but we can control the moral atmo­sphere that surrounds us. We can­not control the other fellow’s annoy­ing habits, but we can do something about our own. If we all controlled what we can control this would be a better world in every way.” Rascality has limits, stupidity has not. — Napoleon. — South Bend Branch Pays Signal Tribute To Retiring President To our best knowledge, no branch of the Verhovay F. I. Association ever has matched the action taken at the annual meeting of Branch 132, reported in a recent edition of the Hungarian “City Life” weekly of South Bend, Ind. Stephen Nyers, President of Branch 132, a member of the Board of Di­rectors of the Association, who has recently attained his 70th birthday, declined the unanimous renomination to the branch-presidency, due to his advanced age. Deeply regretting the decision of their honored leader, the members of Branch 132, whom Mr. Nyers has served in various official capacities for more than 25 years out of the 40 spent in the service of the Verhovay, took an action of un­precedented, though fully deserved generosity in recognition of his con­tributions to the progress of the As­sociation in South Bend and of the decisive role played by him in the building and the successful manage­ment of the Verhovay Home. The members of Branch 132, upon mo­tion presented by District Manager Frank Wukovits, spokesman for the officers of the branch, unanimously resolved that the membership dues of President Stephen Nyers shall be assumed and paid by the South Bend Verhovay Home and, furthermore, that he shall receive the sum of One Hundred Dollars every three months from the Verhovay Home, both ac­tions to be effective for the rest of his life. As a rule, no lodge officer, not even the best, can expect more in the way of reward for having spant the best years of his life in the ser­vice of a fraternal group, than a 'vote of thanks’, buried in the mi­nutes of the organization. Perhaps it may not be altogether wrong to assume that this is one of the rea­sons, if not the main reason, of the increasing reluctance cn the part, of the rank and file membership to as­sume the burdens and responsibilities of an office in a fraternal society. While demands for unlimited service and criticism of the performance of duties are dispensed in generous daily doses, the grudging expressions of recognition and appreciation are reserved for such rare occasions as twentieth service anniversaries and the like. It is quite an occasion, and certainly a demonstration of unusual esteem when the vote of thanks is accompanied by a gift. To reward a man’s untiring efforts and selfless devotion with something he may en­joy as well as look forward to fgr the rest of his life is a refreshing departure from custom and to Branch 132 of South Bend, Ind., goes the honor of having for the first time in Verhovay’s history adopted such a course of action. Congratulations to Mr. Nyers and thanks to Branch 132 for an inspiring example of fra­­ternalism! Donation Acknowledged Shortly before Christmas, a dona­tion of $5.00 for the Verhovay Fund For The Aiding Of Crippled Juvenile Members was received from Branch 135, Nesquehoning, Pa., Michael Had­nagy, Manager. The donation is gratefully acknowledged. Including the above contribution, the amount held on the Verhovay Fund For The Aiding Of Crippled Juvenile Members was $2,909.03 as of December 31, 1948. He who loves not the loved one’s faults does not truly love. — Spanish proverb. — Military Burial At Pittsburgh Branch 34 The body of Zoltán Hodermarsky, former member of Branch 34, who was killed in action in Italy on Octo­ber 13, 1943, was returned to Pitts­burgh on the 1st of December. He was reburied with military honors on Friday, December 3rd, after Re­quiem High Mass in St. Ann’s Hun­garian Roman Catholic Church, at Calvary Cemetery. Many members of Branch 34 and the Hazelwood Hun­­garion colony attended the last rites for the fallen hero who was the 23rd fatal casualty of the Association in the last war. The membership of the Verhovay joins Branch 34 in ex­tending its sincere condolences to the bereaved family. Why Young People Should Buy Life Insurance . . . THE YOUNG MAN stands at the threshold of a long lifetime of pay checks. Never again will his po­tential earning power be greater. Never again will he be worth so much to himself. This potential earn­ing ability should be safeguarded through Life Insurance. Life Insurance is a bond written against a young man’s life value. 90% of the assets of a young man are standing in his shoes. Life Insurance gives him credit collateral; liquid cash when he needs it; protection for the family which will some day be his; funds for his old age and an investment plan un­der which he cannot lose a cent. Even though his earnings may never reach a high figure, the fact that he has started a Life Insurance program early in life will bring him out far, far beyond the man of larger earnings who waits until premiums are high and the years in which to accumulate are few. For the prospective bridegroom a Life Insurance policy says to his bride and to her family that: (1) I am in good health and physically fit, entitled to enter the family from that point of view. (2) This policy is a certificate of character because I could not have gotten it if there had been something undesirable about my habits. (3) It is definite evidence that I am aware of and willing to assume the responsibility that goes with starting a home of my own. THE YOUNG WOMAN should purchase Life Insurance as a matter of selfrespect. Her family paid her way into the world and if something should happen to her, surely she would not also wish them to have to pay her way out of it. Life Insur­ance is the quickest, simplest, cheap­est way for her to create an estate. Life Insurance provides a compul­sory savings plan through which a girl may easily and systematically save money which otherwise may slip through her fingers. An insur­ance policy becomes a constantly in­creasing nest egg which will provide cash or a loan for an unlimited number of purposes. Life Insurance means safety for her savings, for it has survived wars, epidemics and depressions bet­ter than any other financial institu­tion in existence. —The Bulletin. The American Indians solved the mother-in-law problem. To show re­spect for her, the Indian bridegroom never talked to his mother-in-law or met her face to face. Work is afraid of a resolute man. No wind is of service to him who is bound nowhere. YOUNGSTOWN, O. — Branch 21 Sports Club Speaks — by Steve Mislay
