Attention, Dayton, Ohio Members The City of Dayton is now a Verhovay District. It became so when Lewis F. Wagner, Verhovay member publicly known in Dayton and its immediate vicinity, was appointed Dayton Verhovay District Manager, with the approval of the Board of Directors, to begin his duties on July 1, 1952. A survey revealed to the Board of Directors and to the National Officers that it was not only desirable but also distinctly progressive to unite Dayton Branches! 249, 362 and 447 under one general manager in the person of Mr. Lewis F. Wagner. It is to be remembered, however, that this move does in no way affect the individuality of the branches involved. They remain separate branches. The members of Branches 249, 362 and 447 are hereby requested to deal directly with Mr. Wagner in all Verhovay matters, and they are assured his full cooperation and willing service. District Manager Lewis F. Wagner’s address is: 248 Osmond Avenue, Dayton 6, Ohio. Our deep appreciation for their long ancj, loyal service is extended to the former managers: ANDREW HANKOCZKY of Branch 249, JULIUS POLICHANY of Branch 362, and JOSEPH CZEISZPERGER of Branch 447 JOHN BENCZE National President VERHOVAY MEMBER BECOMES JUDGE When Stephen J. Roth, Branch 214, Flint, Michigan member, mounted the bench of the Circuit Court of Genesee County recently, he was a vivid reminder of what opportunities lie in wait in our country for those who would accept (the invitation to better ways, to better things, to a more satisfying JUfe. But the example of Judge Roth has a dual aspect. His rise is a simple illustration that opportunity exists in abundance for native Americans; the fact of his foreign birth is an. inspiring story to others of alien birth that the door of opportunity is open also to them if there be the will to do and false despair be banished. The many DP’s who have gained high positions in American labor and society is certainly proof that foreign birth is hardly more than a very temporary obstacle in the paths of the new Americans. Honoring Judge Roth at the ceremonies were the governor of Michigan, two of his fellow jurists and the Michigan attorney general. Present were six deputies from the attorney general’s office, whose chief Judge Roth had been, and other officials, friends and wellwishers jammed the court room. Most important witnesses to Judge Roth’s installation were of course his mother, wife and children who were as thrilled as the judge when Governor Williams outlined in eulogizing terms the career of the new judge. Circuit Judge Paul V. Gadola, who presided at the ceremony, added to the kind words by enumerating the qualities of the new judiciary member. Judge Roth thanked the governor and the judge for their very charitable words. He told his audience how he had prepared for years to achieve his goal. The sincerity of his words was quite evident. We, to#, the great family of Verhovey members, congratulate Judge Stephen J. Roth, native of Hungary and fellow Verhovay member, on his new achievement. j Verhovay Watchtower [ By JOS. J. HORVATH — Cleveland, O. Let’s start this column with a quotation by Abe Lincoln: “My concern is not whether God is on our side,, my great concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always (right. Personally, I am not infallible, so my position is to be on God’s side.’ It would be nice to go back to Pittsburgh for the 10 year anniversary of the tournament. I remember the first year. No towel, no chalk, pins were set by hand. The banquet was beautiful Friendliness, fraternity prevailed. So, gentlemen please take the tournament back to Pittsburgh, so that every howler1 will be satisfied that improvements have been made. > New associate members in the Verhovay Sports - Club are: Anna Munko, Marge Cowan and James Kovatch. Welcome, wonderful people. The Sports Club voted for a first aid kit. This met with an enthusifastic expression. Steve .“Susie” Piscalko brought this one on the floor, seconded by Frank Oravis. “Susie” was also voted the title of doctor (in as much as he will be our first /aid man. Melvina Hegedűs will be the official nurse. Many new people came out to the inaugural speck fry at Renn’s farm. It rained in the afternoon. But Frank Oravis, Oscar Federau and Joseph Semetko were prepared against all ndversity. Gene Toth is the new manager of St. John’s hall. He is a good bowler land sportsman. Personally, I wish him luck. I know he’ll make good. Branch 14 Verhovay Social Club — ladies — was on the warpath at ithe recent meeting of the 50-year banquet committee. It seems that individuals had taken it upon themselves to criticize the actions of the ladies, and a few necks were washed. The ladies of the social club did a grand job of cooking. There seems to be an undercurrent of distrust among our prominent Verhovayans on the east side, and this should not be. The most important thing on tha ■agenda is the bazaar on August 30, 31 and September 1. A fine program will be worked out for each day, and on Labor Day we will shoot the works — entertainment, games, prizes, in addition to the grand prize of a 1952 Studebaker Deluxe Tudor Sedan. All the profits will go on the) debt of the home. So, let all the members pull together and make this bazaar a real success. WE INVITE OUT-OF-TOWNERS TO COME TO ENJOY THEMSELVES AT OUR BAZAAR. The Verhovay Sports Club will be five years old next February. We /think, a celebration will be in order. Maybe we’ll be able to sell our raembsrship on a banquet, with one .stipulation, that the profits should go into a farm or park where our sports club members and their ifriendl’, would be able to enjoy themselves — eventually make a) camp site for Verhovay children — expand into other things. I’d better cease before someone hint that “the heat has got him at last.” Ex Animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH c/o Verhovay Home 8637 Buckeye Road Cleveland 4, Ohio BRANCH 164 — CHICAGO, ILL. — .
