This instrument is likened to the clarinet or the oboe, but, strictly speaking, there is no exact translation .for it in English and it is best to call it by its Hungarian name, “tárogató”. Mr. Erdélyi, a member of Branch 23, Pocahontas, Virginia, made quite £ hit before the hundreds of Verhovay members and their guests when he played the “tárogató” at the recent nationwide Verhovay cedebrations in Columbus, Ohio. His performance was well received and he was called back for an encore. Erdélyi sings as well as plays musical instruments. He also does hillbilly and folk characterizations. He has done extensive professional work and has played in Chicago, New York and Washington. At present Erdélyi is associated with Station WHDS in Bluefield, West Virginia. He is expected soon (to enter television. meeting is understandable when it is known that in addition to the officers above Directors Aloysius C. Falussy and Albert Ibos of New York and Director Stephen Lang of Bethlehem, Pa. attended. The meeting was opened with greetings from Director Albert Ibos, president of Branch 48, the host branch, after which National President Bencze explained in detail the purport of the meeting. Field Supervisors Cher and Toma and National Secretary Revesz led the meeting in clarifying the new forms of insurance benefits.

The park may be easily reached by Jtaking the Pelham Bay subway to Hunts Point Avenue station, transferring to the bus which goes to the last stop on Hunts Point Avenue. From there it is only a short walk of two blocks to the park. Branch 48’s early preparations are largely the reason why their Annual Verhovay Day Picnics are always very successful. Music for the picnic will be furnished by Louis Szőke and his Gypsy Orchestra of Rahway, New Jersey. Admission tickets bought in adwance will be 75tf, at the door $1.00. Branches in and near the New York area are invited to attend rthis yearly Branch 48 event, pther Verhovay members vacationing in New York during next August 3 will add to their enjoyment if they schedule this date as part of their vacation program. After forty practically any form of exercise becomes a stiff workout. * Some people can always use new friends — and will.
