A movement is on foot to break the Verhovay Sports Club. This is bad. Why? Because if they are successful Verhovay wilt be the loser, and they will regroup somewhere else under another name. The Sports Club wants to be independent, under no one’s domination, let alone a branch. We have members from at least three different branches. The regular branches do not provide such social events as the Sports C’ub’s activities. That is the reason for its existence. Let the club alone, and Verhovay will be the beneficiary in the end. We heard that Stephen (Gashouse) Szabó has the Crosley franchise and will open an appliance store in the vicinty of E. 116 and Buckeye Rd. Good luck! Joseph Semock, our West Side Verhovayan, would like, to see a revival . of sports in the Verhovay ranks on j their side of the river. Sándor, József and Benedek were duly celebrated by Branch 14 on March 21st. A nice dinner with gypsies playing magyar music and vocal numbers by Joseph Molnár, former Verhovay manager. Master of cereinonies Joseph Szalay introduced everybody, .including Joseph M. Toth, former secretary, Dr. Andrew Kovács, Coioman Koiozsvary, Francis Joseph Oravis and his wife Helen Josephine, Mrs. Mary (Josephine) Bodnar, Francis Joseph Szabó, political figure in the 16th ward, Steve Barry, who worked hard behind the bar, Joseph Barry, co-chairman, John Pal, Joseph Fekile, John Boda, Charles May, Joseph Drotos, president of Branch 45, who recited a poem, and Louis Balogh, Branch 45. Stirring addresses were given by John Bosway, Jimmy Kovatch, Sigismund Kadar, Joseph Hegedűs and Joseph Semetko. The Verhovay Sports Club card I party was a financial success. President “Susie” Piscaiko won the bed sheets. Oscar Federau was the ticket 1 seller and Frank Oravis and Ted Beres the bartenders. A sizable crowd. A ham was donated by Sabo land Tomory, meat market operators. THANKS. Coffee and cakes were taken care of by Ann Pinter and Betty Knapp. The Sports Club tournament FOR MEMBERS ONLY will be held the , FIRST SUNDAY IN MAY, AT THE VERHOVAY HALL. 70% scratchentry fee will be SI.50 for members in good standing. A party and the presentation of the trophy will be held the same day after bowling. I The Spoi'ts Club shall change its meeting date from Sunday to a week day, which may be either WEDNESDAY or FRIDAY, this ONLY for the summer months. Gabriel Molnar’s daughter is studying to be. an opera singer. She has> a fine voice. We often think of Henry Rettmann, how and where he is. A fine man, a gentleman and a scholar. Good luck and God bless you, Henry, you and yours. The sports allotment that comes Jo the branches after new members ás causing friction here in Cleveland, Where is this fund going? Anyway, summer is on the way, and into the country we shall go on ithe week ends. I hope each and every Verhovay member has a beautiful summer. Ex Animo, JOSEPH J.

SAVINGS BONDS APPLE OF HIS GRANDFATHER’S EVE What happier sight is there than grandfather with grandchild. Here Robert Joseph Macker, born December 14, 1952, adds new joy as the first grandchild of his prominent Verhovay grandfather, Vice-President Julius Macker, veteran Detroit Director. It’s almost superfluous to say that Robert Joseph is a member of Branch 36, what with the little one’s Verhovay background. Machines do the job I It is universally acknowledged that the American soft coal industry is the most progressive, productive, and j efficient on earth. ! One of the main reasons ,for that j has been the industry’s never-ending search of ways and means to make mining- as nearly automatic as possible — to make complex and amazing machines replace the old-time ■pick and shovel and mule-drawn coal car. Strip mining —- a form of mining where the seams are found relatively close to the earth’s surface — is a dramatic example. Today surface earth and rock are removed whith tremendous scoops and draglines equipped with buckets that gulp up 13 cubic yards on one pass. Assisting are powerful shovels, bulldozers and scrapers that can move huge mounds of dirt in a matter of seconds. Then, once the seam is bared, huge mechanical jaws bite j out the coal, and load it into 50-ton j carriers that speed it to preparation j plants for washing, drying-, sizing and shipping. When the surface seams run under mountains too hig-h to be (removed, mammoth drilling machines 'are caled on. They bore holes high 'enough for a man to walk into, and j .remove 500 tons of coal in a shift. These and other machines are •able to run almost continually, and they need only a few trained operators to direct them. That’s why our coal industry keeps on breaking production records. That’s why coal has successfully met the competition of other fuels. And that is also a primary reason why the American miner ■is paid more for his services than any comparable worker in the world. It is obvious that only an efficient, progressive and dynamic industry can Ipay record wages and stay in business.
