PAGE 12 Verhovay Journal ___________________________________________________________________September u»,_i.5i Congratulations to the new officers and directors upon their election. I am sure they will do a good job for the advancement of our Association and my best wishes go to them upon assuming their duties. Speaking of elections, remember, October 2nd is primary day here in Cleveland and its 29th ward. So you of the Verhovay who will vote in Cleveland and in the 29th Ward and would do a good turn for a fellow- Verhovayan, look for my name on the ballot and put an “X” alongside — you’ll have my word that I’ll try and live up to your confidence in me. / Incidentally, I hardiy knew myself after reading that excellent write-up the editors gave me in the July issue of our Journal. With all sincerity I pledge to do my best to live up to it. I’ll try to represent all of the people in the true and democratic manner they are entitled to. Thanks ever so much for a great lift. (I tried to express my thanks in the last issue, but the editor wrote me I was too late — so there was no column....) SOCIAL EVENTS Verhovay Sports Club had a basket picnic at Ernie Renn’3 Grove on July 22nd, with the usual success ..

And again we plead that the yard in the back of the Home be fixed into a small! park or garden where members could go and enjoy themselves. A few more trees and some grass would do thel trick ...

Verhovay Home 8637 Buckeye Road Cleveland 4, Ohio Home Office Wedding Beils Again wedding bells rang over the Home Office. \This time the bride was Miss Mary Köteles, an employee of the Home Office for 22 years and now head of the crediting department. On June 16th she became the bride of Mr. Paul Hudacsek, also of Pittsburgh, in the First Hungarian Lutheran Church in Hazelwood, the Rev. Paul- Markovits officiating. A wedding gift from the National Officers and the Home Office employees was presented to her shortly after -he wedding, when National President Mr. Bencze expressed the best wishes of all of her fellow-workers' for many years of happiness. Fortunately, rhe wedding bells this time did not spell the loss of a valued employee for the Association. Mrs. Hudacsek stays with us to continue the job in which many years of_hard work and experience have made her a specialist. The best of luck and all the blessings of the Lord to both Mr. and Mrs. Hudacsek: An adult is one who has ceased to grow vertically but not horizantally. (Anon.) We hardly find any persons of good sense save those who agree with us. Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was, they! escaped teething. A chap ought to save a few of the long evenings he spends with his girl till after they’re married. The only nice thing about being a snob is that you don’t notice it so much yourself.
