Irocky as our president, Ernest Taylor as our Vice-President, Louis Barna as our Secretary and Treasurer, John Hovantzi as our Recording Secretary, Steve Ehas as our Trustee, Dr. Alex Friend as Branch Physician, Kiss Lőrinc as a newly electe auditor, Charles Korponya as a newly elected auditor. Congratulations to them all. And, Oh yes, yours truly, Andrew .Tanovics, is still the Branch Manager. Our Young Peoples Dance Group are ialso electing officers. Their election was held Friday, January 4th, but as this is being written before that I time I am unable to state who Was | teiected. Our Christmas Party which was held December 16th naturally had to fall on one of the coldest days of the year. Even so a nice big group of children were on hand to share in the day’s activities. Even my wife enjoyed Santa whom she asked what he would bring her for Christmas, and he took out a small box which resembi#! a jewelry box and digged in and gave her three coins from it. Many other also treasured the three coins which Santa gave to them. Santa was none other than our own President, Mr. Irocky. His wife, Mrs. Irocky, gave the children their prizes and passed out the sandwiches knd pop. Mr. Frank Földi was kind enough to show the children movies which they enjoyed immensely. He (also showed films taken on his tour of the West which we all enjoyed too. In the kitchen and behind the bar v^re the smiling faces of Betty and Ernest Taylor, Louis and Marge- Fodor and Kiss Lőrinc, William Feifar and Mr. and Mrs. L. Barna, who all helped to make it a pleasant affair. If I have missed any other helpers please forgive me as chat is all the names I have, and thanks just the same. Still on our sick list is Stephen Barna, Mrs. G. Farkas, Mrs. Frank Soo, Joseph Kish and Gabriel Soltész. Happiness supreme reigned in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Krueger on December 29th. It was the wedding day of their son Fred who with his lovely bride are now honeymooning for a few weeks in the sunny climate of Florida. Over 200 guests assembled to wish the happy couple health, wealth and happiness. We too join in wishing them the Best of Luck and Happiness for a long, blissful wedded life. We hope they will be an active Verhovay couple. Happiness also was great during the holiday season in the John Schybai family. Their son Steve was home on a furlough from Texas and was able to stay for both Christmas and the New Year. Steve certainly looked handsome in his uniform. He enjoyed his furlough I Immensely.Joy was felt on Carroll Avenue ithis Christmas. Cong-ratulations arel in order for Mr. and Mrs. John Fodor who are the proud, beaming parents of a most lovely baby girl who was born December 20, 1951 and who weighed 6 lbs. and 4 ounces. John’s Christmas certainly must have been complete what with the arrival home from the hospital of his wife, ,and baby daughter on Christmas Day. I hope to see as many of you members at our February meeting as can possibly come, especially, so Ithat you can get your tickets for (the coming Bunco and Card Party ;and also pick up tickets for your friends and relatives. Also, donations may be brought to the February meeting. Remember, the date for the Bunco and Card Party is March the 8th. Until our next friendly chat, I remain Fraternally yours, ANDREW JANOVICS Branch Manager In spite of the record snow' fall Saturday, December 15th, the annual Christmas party of the Verhovay Sports Club was well attended. A few of the members like Ernie Renn could not come in from the country, Sigmund Kadar was snowed under, as was Miss Betty Domos, and Carl Pertz had to take his wife to the hospital again. All in all it was a bad evening but there was a nice crowd, about fifteen children and about twenty-two adults. The ladies of the Sports Club helped put the food on the table. The younger generation had first, crack at everything. They couldn’t eat much so "the adults had plenty left. The youngsters were well behaved, apparently the parents had 'admonished them on procedures. The festivities really got going about .10 p.m. when Frank Oravis called upon President Piscsalko to say a few words. He did, short and snappy, and that ended the speech making, which was all right. There were Christmas carols, cartoons, movies, and gifts were exchanged. Of course the refreshment was flowing like water. Joseph Nemeth’s son was bartender. He did a good job. We found out that John Knapp is ia lover of good perfume, also Joseph Semetko. The Pinters, Tony and Ann, came down on the bus. Mrs. Joseph Bodnar cooked the ham. She chased Oscar Federan out of the kitchen because he got a little -too meddlesome. The tree was donated to Branch 14, and the lights were donated by the Bodnars and the Oravises, for the evening of course. A nice party but for one thing—no mistletoe! Melvina Hegedűs promised but, she forgot.. . I have been to Columbus, Ohio several times and have found it a real fi-iendly city. When the dance Charleston was the rage I worked in Delaware, Ohio ,a few miles from Columbus. On Saturday nites we made our way to Columbus, or to one of its many parks. My recollection is that on a dance floor at Olentangy Park we were doing the Charleston, and we were told to leave: because it wasn’t a proper.dance like the two step, waltz, three step, etc. Of course things have changed since then—how they have chang-ed! Election of officers will be held by the Verhovay Sports Club in February. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Luscik say that at the first sign of spring a speck fry will be on the agenda. We hope Governor Frank Lausche' of Ohio will honor our tournament by throwing the first ball and will come to the banquet. (Editor’s Note: Plans to have Governor Lausche attend the tournament already have been discussed and efforts will be made toward this end.) So we come to the end of this column with this thought in mind, by Marquis De LaPlace the French astronomer, “What we know is of small amount; what we do not know is enormous.” Ex Animo Joseph J.

Many pedestrians walk as if they owned the streets — and .many motorists drive as if they owned their cars.
