1951 / Verhovay Journal
PAGE 14 Verhovay May is a beautiful month. We have Mothers Day and Pentecost on the same day, Decoration Day at the end of the month and the alluring- beauty of flowers in bloom throughout thei month. In my way of thinking it is one of the best months of the year. So here is a thought I picked upi from' the “Sunshine Magazine” of Litchfield, 111.’ “they who are content to remain in the valley, will nob get the grander view from the mountain top.” SPORTS CLUB AFFAIRS The greater part of this column will be devoted to the Verhovay Sports Club of Cleveland, which shows that it is one of the most active groups of the Verhovay in our, city. Hereafter the Sports Club will have application blanks for new members. Any regular may obtain a] blank from the Financial Secretary, Mr. Oscar Federau. Our By-Laws call for two sponsors for any new member. President Steve Piscalko appointed Mrs. Betty Kadar, Carl Pertz and Joseph Semetko to the membership Committee. The Sports Club changed their meeting date from the 3rd Sunday of each month to the 3rd Wednesday of the month for the summer season. Frank Oravis, our Entertainment; Committee Chairman, promised an early speck fry and an outing. All these outings all bring their own baskets. No admission fee is charged at the grounds and the Club furnishes refreshments, horse shoes, balls and bats, and maybe even a volley ball. Usually, where we go, there is a BRANCH DIRECTORY (Continued from page 13) 503 Chicago, III. Mr. Frank Balogh 1705 W. Albion Street Chicago, 111. 509 Prenter, W. Va.

Record players and radios are on hand to furnish music. Friends of the Club are welcome. Time and place will be published in this Journal, if possible. Welcome to the new members of the Club: Joseph Bodnar, Manager of the Home, Frank Varga, Steve Vache, Sr., and Ernie Renn. TESTIMONIAL DINNER We were glad to be of assistance at the testimonial dinner given in honor of Ml*, and Mrs. Joseph Bodnar, managers of the Verhovay Home at 8637 Buckeye Road. Radio announcer Frank Szappanos acted as master of ceremonies and he held speech-making down to a minimum which was alright with everyone. Frank Szabó sold the most tickets. A wonderful dinner was served, consisting of chicken in two styles, roast and paprikas, plenty of greens, home made poppy seed rolls and nut rolls, for only $1.25. How they could do it, I don’t know. Refreshments were dispensed by <Au*l Pertz, Jimmy Bodnar, Mr. Trench and Steve Barry who was in charge, and they did an excellent job. Mrs. Trench sold the lunch-tickets and she was assisted by Joseph J. Hor- ' vath. Secretary of Branch 14 Nick Juhasz sold the admission tickets. We had waitresses who really were on the ball, some of them members of the Sports Club, others wives of members and still others, among whom we noted Vivian Pertz, Miss Lillian Pertz, Julianne Jordan, Helen Oravis, Melvina Hegedűs, Mrs. L. Wolf and. Miss Annie Bakos who, I just heard, won the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP in the Women’s Singles Event in the Verhovay Tournament in Chicago! Congratulations, Ann, and also Louise Torda, her partner in winning the DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP and to the other BOWLERETTES of Branch 366, who brought home the ARI B. ALBERT MEMORIAL CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY AND THE TOP CASH PRIZES from the great event. But to go back to the testimonial dinner: the cooks who put up the fine dinner were Mary Molnár, Elizabeth Csigos, Mrs. Louis Krabocs, Josephine Ehasz, Jacob Torda, Sr., Mrs. Louis Szabó, Mrs. Ladany and Mrs. Joseph Szalay. We spoke to Mr. Szalay, Mr. Frank Pinter, President of Branch 14, Arpad Revay who claims he has been ill for a year, to Charles May and Joseph Kish. Representing St. John’s was Mrs. Coloman Karnya and her two daughters, Rita and Patrica (Cokié). CAUTION — DANGER! We would like to see a rubber mat placed on the stairway leading from the bar to the bowling alleys. A Journal ---------------------------May 16, 1951 member of the Sports Club slipped over the iron edges of the steps and had to have eight stitches put in his forehead. Come on, officials, let’s remedy this hazard before somebody really gets hurt.... We saw the former Mary Fejes from the bus the other day.... Joseph Nagy is happy these days because he’s to become a pappy in the near future. Good luck and the best of health to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nagy! OHIO VERHOVAY BOWLING HANDICAP PLANNED! We are planning an Ohio -Bowling Handicap for Verhovay members and friends, under the auspices of the Verhovay Sports Club of Cleveland, O. It is yet in the planning stage and it may or may not materialize, depending on the interest to be shown in this coming event. We would like to hear from Lorain, Youngstown, Akron, Fairport Harbor and other branches who may be interested in an All-Ohio Bowling Tournament® If it should get large enough, we could take it to the Colony Recreation, managed by A1 Gamin, one of cur members, a gentleman and sportsman, or we could take it to the Trianon Alleys where we had held the Tournament when it was up here in Cleveland. SPORTS CLUB HANDICAP TOURNAMENT Our own Sports Club Handicap Tournament was a huge success. Sigmund Kadar was the champion and he will receive a trophy. Everybody! had a good time. Sandy Hegedűs won the gutters ball championship. Frank Oravis won the championship for the most fancy duds. Melvina Hegedűs made a difficult split. She was runner-up, losing to Mr. Kadar by a mere 5 pins and Helen Oravis finished third. The ladies were there alright! The bowling finished, we adjourned next door for a bite and refreshments, consisting of delecious ham, tasty olives, succulent pickles, fresh vegetables and appetizing potato salads, one bowl made by Mrs. Mary Bodnar and the other by Mrs. Helen Oravis. It was hard to tell which one was better both being so good and palatable. Geo Bubonic was there with his accordion and Frank Varga, our new member, did a satisfactory job as refreshment dispenser. Enjoyment and satisfaction was on ! everybody’s face on this occasion. We think the affair should be repeated next year. Happy vacation days to everybody! Ex Animo, Joseph J.

TOTAL 19 Senior Order Members. JOHN SABO, National Auditor. It was a stormy day in winter, and cars and pedestrians could be seen sliding in every direction. An extremely heavy lady stood hesitating at the curb for some minutes. Finally a gentleman noticed her apparent distress, asked if he might assist her. “Oh, indeed, sir, could you see me across the street?” “Most certainly,” he replied, “as a matter of fact I believe I could have seen you three blocks away.” The longer you wait to buy life insurance, the more you will need it, the more it will cost you, and the less chance you will have of getting it.—(Fidelity Topics) Keep on plugging, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on anything sitting down.—(Charles F. Kettering)
