Labor Day . . . the unofficial end of summer . . . grape festivals v . . beginning of the bowling season . . . end of the baseball season . . . the beginning- of football . . . tranquil days . . . nature trying her best to ripen and yield the fruit of the farmers’ toil, also that of the city gardeners. But the big question is: What did you do hll summer? We want to compliment the publisher and the editor of the Verhovay Branch 14 News, which is sent to each and every member of the branch. We really appreciate (this news letter from publisher Jimmy Kovatch, president, and editor Leslie J. Düs, financial secretary. It is informative. It is written mostly in Hungarian, altho an article or so appears in English. We should like to see this service continued, but, I must admit, it will be somewhat expensive eventually. But we may hope . . . Magyar Day is held in Cleveland on the Sunday nearest St. Stephen’s day. This year it was held at Puritas Springs Park.About 10,000 people attended. The committee had a well balanced program, the food was good, the refreshments were clear and sparkling, and the day was ideal. People from out of town were conspicuous by their numbers; so were the Hungarian DP’s. The Hungarian Old Settlers (Öreg Amerikások) Picnic on August 2nd was a notable success, with about 5,000 in attendance. Visitors from Lorain, Akron, Youngstown, Painesville, Fairport, Canton, and so forth, were welcomed by Director Coloman Kolozsvary, president of the club. The program was in honor of the harvest, with singing, dancing on the agenda. The committee deserves congratulations for its fine work. Mrs. Mary Karnya’s new baby boy’s name is Coloman jr. Oscar Federeau and Henry Knautz were vacationing at Miami Beach, Florida. This is a sizable island off the mainland connected by several bridges to the City of Miami. It is not, as some seem to believe, part of Miami itself, but it is an entirely independent city whose industry is beauty and fun. Oscar brought hack a keepsake, and I appreciate it. It was 10 days of fun, the aftermath being a deflated pocketbook. Louis Varga, night club impresario, has bought a new sign to advertise his place—Settler’s Tavern. We saw Dr. Andrew Kovács, Verhovay vice president, who. as usual, was his jolly self. Frank Szabó is superintendent of construction for the Cuyahoga county engineer, here in Cleveland. Nick Yuhas Jr. almost went to work, but conditions weren’t to his liking so reluctantly he gave it up. We saw Betty Domos a week or so ago. She let us know that she was doing waitress work at the Grandview Race Track restaurant. Joe Marson is building a garage. Better use a level, Joe! Bert Stofcho, expert builder of homes, recently finished a domicile costing $47,500. Steve Szekely is an expert on water purification. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bodnar are living with their son-in-law, the1 Turak’s, and son Jimmy has moved to a Parhill address. Steve Barry, who for several weeks had been missing from the home, recently showed up at a meeting. We have heard that Leslie J. Dus, manager of Branch 14, will be the treasurer of the branch’s picnic. We are happy to see Mr. Dus getting active in the branch’s doings. Tony Pinter asserts that next year, when his vacation comes, he will go to South Africa. The Sports Club will try to have another fish dinner the latter part of October. The regular meeting of the club was well attended. The meetings were changed from the third Friday to the THIRD SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH, BEGINNING SEPTEMBER. The manager of the Verhovay Home here in Cleveland is renovating- the old homestead—repairing, painting, getting the howling alley in condition, etc. Yep, Nick Yuhasz Sr. is a busy man these days. The paint job looks . quite good; it’s bright. Before the repainting, one ■thought of a dungeon when entering the home. Keep up the good work, Nick. Next year the Sports Club will be 5 years old. A banquet is in the making to celebrate the event. Ye, 0 former members of the Sports Club, are invited to participate in ‘this gala event. Committees will be formed next March, 1954, and the banquet will be held in October, 1954, at Verhovay Hall. The Sports Club Fish Dinner was ready a successful event. It was hot and sultry, but everyone survived. What made the dinner better than the previous ones was that there was more cooperation. Every* member was there except a few big wheels who think they are above a fish dinner. These people, whom 1 am about to mention, worked the day before, preparing everything that went with the dinner: Senator Frank Oravis doubled in brass by being the official disc jockey and bar tender. Terry Gutka was our official ticket seller, while! yours truly sold lunch tickets. The kitchen was an inferno. But our women, hardy people indeed, put out the dinner in clo.cklike precision. With such good workers as Betty Knapp, Ann Pinter, Mrs. Mary Bodnar, Helen Oravis, Adeline Bubonic, M elvina Hegedűs, everything must go right. Of course dishes had to be washed, só Virginia Oravis and one of the Bubonic girls assisted in this chore. The service was very good. We noticed that tips (or shall we say, gratuities ?) were left by somle of the diners. The waiters and the waitresses were Joseph and Florence Marson, Tony Pinter, George Bubonic, Mrs. Ted Beres, John Knapp. This last named,, who is our store keeper, helped also in the kitchen, at the bar, etc. Joe Semetko helped a little at the bar, but his sore finger was in the way. Ted Beres, chairman of the affair, was really on the ball, helping here, helping there, We saw Mr. and Mrs. Steve (Susie) Piscalko, president of the Sports This pleasant family group is Mr. and Mrs. Julius Fazekas and -their two daughters, Barbara Alice and Dolores Ann, of 15500 Mendota, Detroit, Michigan. They are an ideal Verhovay family, for all of them are members of Branch 36, Detroit, the branch managed by our very capable Traveling District Manager Stephen Lukacs. The Fazekas’s were quite surprised on August 9 when their very dear friends, Mr. and Mrs. Geza Jacso and Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Lukacs, appeared at the Fazekas home at 1:00 o’clock to deliver best wishes and felicitations to the pair observing their fifteenth anniversary of wedded life. Travelling District Manager Lukacs, perfectionist that he is, had the multiple honors timed precisely. At exactly that hour the Hungarian radio program greeted in words and in song the feted couple, and almost simultaneously fifteen roses — foils years—were brought to the Faze-Club . . . Coloman Kolozsvary, Verhovay director, who never fails to come to an affair of the Sports Club . . . Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Oralik, and their lovely daughter, enjoying themselves . . . Frank Orosz and his wife . . . Zolié Szabó and his wife Margaret . . . Stephen Szabó and his wife . . . Nick Yuhasz Jr. and Yuhasz Sr., in and out, senior being the manager ...

Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Molnár . . . and many others. We have heard that two women of the Sports Club are inspiring to be wrestlers. They demonstrated the fact at the dinner by almost kas’s. These beautiful gestures of good will from the Jacso’s and the Lukacs’s were deeply emotional, as they would be. Mr. and Mrs. Fazekas could barely pour forth their bountiful thanks. Then delicious foods, pastries and soothing refreshments were carried in to add to the festivities. Mr. Lukacs spoke words of congratulations and best wishes. This was followed by the opening of gifts, all handsome and useful, with further appreciation voiced by (the Fazekas’s. Other participants at the happy occasion were Mrs. Judith Kish, the Lukacs’s’ daughters, Helen (Birs. Stephen Toth) and Margaret (Mrs. George Bosnian), and the Geza Dona family of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Fazekas is owner of the Mc- Graw Collision Works, 5520 McGraw Avenue, Detroit. The Verhovay Journal adds its congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Julius Fazekas on their fifteenth anniversary. coming to blows. The heat was on —and how! We received several birthday greetings. Thanks a million. The following recommendations should be taken at the next house committee meeting: The kitchen should have at least two or three fans, one an exhaust fan. The hall should have two or three large fans, also the bar room. Many of the halls are having air conditioning installed. People like to be comfortable when they get out.
