PAGE 16 Verhovay Journal May 16, 1951 THIS “n” THAT Cleveland, Ohio — Branch 45 By: EMERY SOBONY, JR., District Manager ——— MMHII—a— —PM POWER CITY NEWS SPRINGDALE, PA. AND VICINITY by Edward A. Mattie Branch 296 An estate for a poor man . . , Most people labor with the idea that, when we speak of estates, we only speak of the wealthy man,- or the man with perhaps fifteen to fifty thousand dollars. Yet every man with an ordinary job can create an estate! And not wait for years until it accumulates. This sounds far fetched to you? On the contrary, it can be done. The average man can create an immediate estate, simply by being a member of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association. As an example: A man or woman, 32 years of age, by merely making a deposit of $10.00 per month with the Verhovay Association, can create an estate of $5,000.00 immediately! Any person, up to the age of 60 and acceptable to the Association can create such an estate, with dues deposits in proportion to his age. Why not bask in the sunshine of security, for you and your family by creating a sure and certain estate now! To juggle an old phrase around, ‘Too late, is too late.’ * * » With one ear to the ground and my nose to the grindstone, I discovered that one of the elder members of Verhovay has been doing a magnificent job in helping and giving aid to the Hungarian D.P’s. And she, wdth my hat off is: Mrs. Rose Uto of 1898 West 45 Street. I find that she is a human dynamo in spite of her years and that, if she herself can not go down to the depot to meet the. incoming D.P.’s she delegates some one younger, but she has them at her house and keeps them there and feeds them, until they are settled in work and a home. Sometimes there are as many as twenty-five» people or more sitting down to eat ab her dining room table. Imagine that! A person completely turning over her home to help the incoming D.P.’s and without any organized aid from anywhere. That, fellow members is the true Verhovay spirit! May she enjoy the good Lord’s blessings as well as Wife (at 2 a.m.): “Bill, I’m sure I heard a mouse squeak.” Husband: “What do you want me to do •— get up and oil it?” Maisie: “Why did you quit your job?” Fannie: “The boss was so bowlegged I fell through his lap.” A crowd of small boys was gathered around the entrance to a circus tent, trying to peak inside. A man standing nearby watched them, then walked up to the ticket taker, put his hand in his pocket and said, “Count these boys as they pass.” The ticket taker did, and when the last one had entered, he turned and said “Twenty-three, sir.” “Good,” said the man as he walked away. “I thought that was correct.” Doctor: “Madam, I advise you to take frequent baths, plenty of fresh air and dress in cool gowns.” Husband (an hour later): “What did the doctor say?” Wife: “He said I should go to the that of every member of the Verhovay. Incidentally, I found that jvhen we had the big snow storm here this winter, and, all roads were impassable, even the main streets, she still saw to it that the D. P.’s were met. With the efforts of her son Mr. Otto Uto, an Army tank was obtained, to bring the new folks to her house. * * v We are happy to welcome into our Junior Order, little Phillip Demas, son of Gus Demas, the dry cleaner and tailor. Also young Bruce Lorman, who’s parents think so much of him, that they have created a college fund for him thru a Verhovay plan, that will see to his schooling, even if his dad was no longer here to help him. And Elmer Peldyak, who immediately wanted to bowl with our team. Verhovay is a democratic organization, and not all members are Hungarians or of Hungarian origin. Among our new' members we now have, Doctor Domenic De Carlo of 9422 Detroit Ave., who is known as one of the West Sides’ sympathetic and patient dentists. Many of our members who are his patients will be glad to know that he is now one of our members. * ¥ * The Cleveland District Bowling Trophy play-off seems to be scheduled for June 2, and from what I I hear, Lorain, Akron. Fail-port as well, as the Cleveland teams are going to participate. It seems that if possible an evening is planned, with a get together afterwards. I. hope they make it, because it will be a swell opportunity for the younger fellow-s and their wives to meet. We all w-ish to extend our sincerest sympathy to the family of Mr. Miehael Kosko, who passed away earlier this month, and to the family of Mrs. James Mikula, wife of one of our Illustrious Worthy members. In conclusion: Let me again say that the office and niyself are here to serve you and your- visit is always welcome. seashore and afterw'ards to the country. Also, I must get some new j light gow-ns at once.” During the war an English gentleman strolled into a barn where a young man was milking a cow. “With a snort he asked, “How is it you are not at the front, young man?” “Because,” answered the milker, “There ain’t no milk at that end, sir.” A stout woman, one of many sardines in the bus, had trouble getting Into her tightly buttoned coat to extract her token. “Madam,” said the man next to her, “let me pay your fare.” She protested but he replied, “My only reason for wishing to do so is that you've unbuttoned my suspenders three times trying to get into your pocket.” Tw'o men walked through the zoo as a short cut across the park. As they passed one of the pens, one of them suddenly stopped and shouted. “I’ll sue that fellow, Dodds.” “What This seems to be the year for contest in the Verhovay. The results in the contest for Branch Managers in acquiring new members should prove to be interesting. But, the one that will probably appeal to most members is the contest for a new name for the Association. As stated in the April issue of the Journal, the prize is a tidy sum of $500 cash. Entries of the names suggested must be mailed to the National Secretary on forms which will appear in the Journal. The contest is open to all members and branches. Here is the opportunity for the sportsminded members and the Ladies Auxiliary to get their heads together and try for this prize. A $500 increase in their funds is nothing to - sneeze at. There is one thing, I believe, that might cause some misunderstanding when the winning name is chosen. I can see the $500 prize dwindle practically to nothing if a large number of members should suggest the winning name. My suggestion is that the postmark of the entries should be taken into consideration as one of the rules. LADIES AUXILIARY The Ladies Auxiliary held their monthly meeting on April 11th. After their usual business session, refréshments were served to the members. Latest person to join the auxiliary is Susan Mate. Members are reminded that a social I affair is held every last Wednesday of the month at the Verhovay Home. Members of Branch 296 and their guests are cordially invited to attend this affair. SUPPER AND DANCE Saturday, May 26th, Arthur Nagy* and his orchestra will play at the | Verhovay Home. Also, at this time a chicken paprikas supper will be served starting approximately at 8:00 P.M. All members and their guests are cordially invited to attend this affair. MEMBER BUSINESSMEN Perhaps a few of you of Branch 296 realize that a number of our I members are businessmen.

For quality meats and groceries shop at Joe I for? What did he do.” asked his companion in amazement at this seemingly unwarranted outburst. “He called me a hippopotamus.” “Good hfeavetns, when was that?” “Six months ago.” “Well, why didn’t you do something about it then?” “Because this is the first time I ever saw a hippopotamus.” An attractive young woman was crossing the ccean. The voyage was rough, and she was not faring too well. An admirer discovered her huddled in a deck chair. “My,” he exclaimed, “What are you doing here? Have you had your breakfast?” “No,” she replied, weakly, “On the contrary.” Korchnak’s Market on Center Street. . . .

Why I always thought Sam was Bill’s best friend.” Mrs. Gossip: “He was, but this is the first time he’s given evidence of it.” The perfect hostess, having invited a staid spinster to dinner, took special pains to serve the leg of the duck with ample dressing.
