Branch 443 BIRTHDAY Fellow branch members and friends of Stephen Csabi, president of Branch 443, recently gathered in the hall of the Verhovay home to fete, with the music of Willi Horvath, the popular branch president, on the occasion of his natal day. Fraternally, JOSEPH SZABÓ Dist.-Br. Mgr. A drink of whiskey taken after being bitten by a poisonous snake is dangerous as it speeds up circulation of the blood and thus increases spread of the poison through the body. For Branch 278 Manager Gaspar Kuti and his wife July 25, 1953 was their day of days, when the relatives and friends assembled at 8 o’clock that evening in the Hungarian Home to surprise the very well - liked Omaha, Nebraska Verhovay Hungarian pair on the occasion of their 25th wedding- anniversary. The picture shows Mr. and Mrs. Kuti flanked by their loving daughters, Therese Marie (next to her mother) and Virginia Agnes (beside her father). The two charming girls were ±-esponsible for the event to honor their popular parents. A son, Joseph, is an airman 1st class with the Air Force in England, and could not attend the celebration. Gathered in the cool surroundings of the home to participate in the gayety of the anniversary were! Joseph Fabian, president of the Hungarian Home and president of Branch 278, who greeted the guests and eulogized the feted Kuti’s; Louis Beszedes, praising Mr. and Mrs. Kuti and wishing them many blessings for the future; Mr. and Mrs. Emery Kuti of Cleveland, Ohio, brother and sister-in-law of Gaspar Kuti; Mrs. Ernest Kerepesi, Florence, Ohio, and Despite the many medical miracles in our era there still exists among us a deadly, crippling disease about which little is known by science. Muscular Dystrophy is the name given this disease. Mysteriously, it, strikes at the muscles, wasting them away until the limbs are rendered useless. Gradually but surely its victims are confined to wheelchairs, there to await an untimely death. At present, there is no known cause, no known remedy for muscular dystrophy. More than 200,000 Americans are victims of muscular dystrophy. More than half that number are children. Most of them will never reach maturity. Yet they live in hope. Hope that public support -will enable scientists to find a cure for their enigmatic malady. Hope that the answer will come before their time runs out. Their faith lies in the work of Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America which, through public contributions, carries on research and, wherever possible, offers help to needy muscular dystrophy patients.. The annual nationwide appeal for funds to continue and expand this vital program is being held this year from November 2 through Thanksgiving. Every penny, nickel, dime and dollar that can be gathered during this short period spells a litother well-wishers, many of them Verhovay members. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Horvath telephoned their anniversary best wishes and congratulations from Los Angeles, California. During the day the Kuti’s visited ailing Mrs. Charles Beres, mother of Mrs. Kuti, and the elderly lady blessed her children for having remembered her with their visit. A buffet dinner was served under the direction of Mr. and Mrs: Alexander Papp, with the capable assistance of Mrs. George Barna Sr. and Mrs. George Barna Jr. The special Hungarian pastry was cut up by Mrs. Yolanda Bernard, who is quite adept in that art. The festivities continued with the piano playing of Frank Denes and the violin melodies of Laci, the two lending a Magyar atmosphere to the delight of all the celebrants. Mr. and Mrs. Gaspar Kuti found it difficult to express their deep joy for the gathering in their honor and were thrilled by the beautiful gifts showered upon them. We think that they now have a new goal in life: to attain their 50th wedding anniversary! tie more hope, and a little more comfort, to muscular dystrophy victims and their families. Public generosity has enabled the establishment of 30 muscular dystrophy medical research projects. Their continuation, and the expansion and acceleration of muscular dystrophy studies and patient care programs, depend on continued public support. The health and welfare of a nation is every citizen’s burden. With each of us carrying a share, public and science working together as a team, victory over still another enemy of mankind seems assured.
