Verhovay Journal THE FERRET SEZ !By Mrs. Jolán Lucas Branch 429, Dearborn, Mich. “Brutality is pleasure in forcing one’s will upon other people; courage is indifference to personal misfor­tunes.”—Bertrand Russel. NOW FOR THE RESULTS! Looking back to the beginning of the planning for the celebration of Branch 429’s Fifteenth Anniversary, it may well be said that the future looked mighty rosy. We had a grand group of co-operative and fraternal­­minded workers, a few bucks at the bottom of the branch treasury, and we had plenty of nerve and courage! Thank goodness for the nerve and courage, because that was all we really had left when we finally made the decision to go ahead with the plans formulated early in the year! In the beginning, we planned a banquet and dance as usual, when the 429ers decided to mark the fifteenth year of its existence. However, with food prices so high, and the “grand group of co-operative and fraternal­­minden workers” dwindled down to a mere handful, due to strikes, wed­dings and previous engagements, the decision was made to hold the ever popular Grape Festival Dance, with which this small group has always had so much success. Committees were appointed, advertising planned, the Körmagyar group went into re­hearsal, and the 429ers went blithely ahead with their decision — where graver heads would have recon­sidered! Then came the rude awakening — sure, it’s a trite expression, but how deeply it hurts! — we couldn’t get the twenty-four hour permit for the sale of the golden brew which is al­ways a sure money-maker! This was n last minute decision by the Mich­igan Liquor Board Commission for said premises. Here the tickets were printed, advertising out, etc. etc. and so on into the wee hours of the morn. Shall we cancel the whole thing or shall we take a crack at it? We fi­gured, however, that with the new organizing system coming into ef­fect the first of the year in Detroit, and since we had those few bucks rattling lonesomely at the bottom of the branch sock, we’d go ahead. Picture the dilemma facing the four main officers and the- handful of cooperative workers — about ten of us to work, barely enough dough to pay the bills, and the “no-sale” prospect of the brew business on the one hand, and the nerve and courage of the 429ers! We held the dance, with a couple of dozen fingers crossed behind our backs! At that I might say that I pat my fellow-workers on the back. We DIDN’T CANCEL OUR ANNIVER­SARY CELEBRATION AS LARGER BRANCHES HAVE HAD TO! Re­member that, and give us a little cre-October 18, 1950 I dit for having- the moral courage to I try a huge social affair with a fistful j of pennies. When the final reckon­ing is settled we’ll find ourselves just about even, with a few shekels still waiting to be spent on a final farewell party! I You wonder what this is all about, eh? Well, Branch 429 was organized on January 12, 1935 by my Dad and Mr. Alexander Gyulay of California. Every five years in January, a birth­day anniversary has been celebrated, and 1950 — the fifteenth —- was no exception. On Saturday, September 30, a Grape Festival Dance was held in the Verhovay Club, 8005 W. Jef­ferson Avenue, Detroit. We had the grandest crowd of people, mostly second and third generation members .of various nationalities. Everyone who attended had a wonderful time, and we had some —-er — well, not exciting moments, but moments of enlightenment as to what makes up the VERHOVAY FRATERNAL SPI­RIT. We found out!
