They are now playing nightly at the popular and well-known Hungarian Village Restaurant in Detroit, Michigan. Ziggy Bela’s repertoiw is unlimited and those attending the National Verhovay Fellowship Days are assured of an unforgettable event. Photo by Richard Phillips Interest and Effort Keynote as Branch 14 Eyes Jubilee In the March English issue we wrote a lengthy article on the jubilee preparations which Branch 14, Cleveland, Ohio, is making to celebrate its 50th anniversary on May 25, 1952. Because we know from very reliable sources that Branch 14, its members and its leaders, are seizing every idea that might add to the happy fulfillment of their coming jubilee program, we feel that some salient facts pertaining thereto are worthy of repeat. Branch 14 was organized some 50 years ago. In numerical order this Cleveland branch is actually the 14th branch founded by Verhovay. In the days when Branch 14 came into existence the formation of Verhovay branches was a slow process, ■as evidenced that in the first 16 years of its life Verhovay made only 14 branches. It was in later years that many new branches came to be simultaneously, or almost so.-It is natural that Branch 14, with ■so many years behind it and located Sn a metropolitan city teeming with many thousands of Hungarians, ranks among the largest and most progressive branches in Verhovay. These facts assure success to any Branch 14 undertaking. That is why the jubilee celebration of Branch 14 is bound to achieve Sts total aims and suffer no frustrations whatever. The members and the officers of this ever growing branch have the necessary INTEREST and exert the needed EFFORT to accomplish their social ends, in this case the jubilee of Branch 14. Their INTEREST and EFFORT is voluntary and genuine; there is no half-hearted, wishywashy coerced attitude. This INTEREST and this EFFORT mean UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS for the coming program of Branch 14. In connection with its jubilee Branch 14 over a period of time will hold entertainments, card parties, a grape harvest ball and a bazar. There will be many prizes and attractions to add to the interest of these affairs. For instance the bazar will feature as its first prize — a real thrill to the winner — a brand-new 1952 automobile. But the main celebration will be ithe commemoration of Branch 14’s 50th anniversary May 25, 1952. This program will be a very elaborate one and will featurae such notable guests as Honorable Harold H. Burton, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and Governor Frank J. Lausche, State of Ohio, both members of Branch 14. Branch 14 is coupling its jubilee program with the Verhovay Ninth Annual Ten Pin Tournament and NATIONAL VERHOVAY FELLOWSHIP DAYS to take place in Columbus, Ohio, May 30-31, 1952. Symbolizing the branch’s 50 years of existence, Branch 14’s leaders and members are going strong in securing at least 50 new members by the time jubilee time rolls around, and the branch is also doing this to present its token of esteem to the Bencze-Revesz Anniversary New Membership Campaign, a part of thei Columbus national Verhovay event. Emery Kovács, the president of Branch 14, has promised gifts to all those Branch 14 members who jseriously aid the branch’s membership drive. It is not wishful thinking, but an Expectation of repeated facts based on past affairs of Branch 14, when the officers of the branch predict that Verhovay members from various sections of the nation will be present at the Branch 14 Jubilee May 25. Clevelanders and others arei planning their vacation time to coincide with Branch 14 Jubilee time and Columbus National Verhovay Events time. The happy outcome of all these Verhovay social functions is quite foreseeable. America is a healthy expanding nation Striking facts and figures to prove the point appear in publications by the United States Bureau of the Census. * * ¥ The National Office of VUal Statistics, for one. * % * For females, life expectancy at birth is considerably greater than for males. * if. * In old age, the death rate for males 75 years of age and over is approximately 123 per thousand as compared to 104 for females. * if * Women certainly live longer than men. * * To illustrate: For the past, several years, centenirians in Pennsylvania have been honored on their birthdays by the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania. * if * And of 200 Pennsylvanians who have lived 100 years or more, only 36 of them are recorded as males. JN * Fragile — handle with special care, might be a worthwhile motto for a Commission on the Conservation of Males.

Teacher: “William, what are the two genders.” William: “Masculine and feminine. The feminine is divided into frigid 'and torrid, and the masculine into Itemperate and intemperate.” '--------**§§*>■-------A modern parent is one who hears all the neighborhood gossip a child has to tell before scolding him for talebearing.
