October 21, 1953_____________________________VevllOVCiy Verhovay W atchtower By JOSEPH J. HORVATH — Cleveland, Ohio October is a beautiful month — cool, the days getting shorter, the rarvest in. The mind turns to other :hings, such as elections, Thanksgiving Day, the wintry months ahead. We heard thru the underground hat Branch 366 elected bowling captains for the 366 league on Wednesday nights. The following •vere chosen: Lou Torda, George Bubonic, Jake Torda, Edwin Cowan. With such an array of expert cap;ains, the Verhovay national touriament will see extraordinary bowing in 1954. Congratulations, Men. John J. Balazs reports that his vife and daughter Catherine were n New York City and brought back i movie camera, which John prizes '■ig'hly. At the next doing of the -ports Club he will take pictures. Thanks, J. J. Balazs. Sigismund Kadar bought himself 1953 Dodge Coronet, later lost his vay to the Branch 14 picnic on Labor lay. Albert Porter Cleveland Cuyaioga County engineer, who is candidite for mayor of Cleveland, became i. Verhovay member thru the efforts if Frank Szabó, superintendent of onstruction for the county. He is Tficient, honest — an outstanding -ngineer. Because of his excellent background, we believe he would nake a worthy mayor. Mrs. Gall, manager of Branch 361, :opes to bowl her weight, which is i little over 200 pounds. We looked in on the Ohio tournanent and discovered that 16 teams vere in the race, also that Toledo •nd Columbus were represented by ■everal teams, and that next year ‘ther Ohio cities will send teams to larticipate in the Ohio tournament. Three Columbus bowlers from Branch 129 helped out at the bowing alley by setting pins, because the egular boys were late. Thanks to ou, Earl Blackburn, George Tokár nd Frank DeFranco. This tournanent received 100 % return of the •ntry in prize money. The trophies sad been donated by Branch 14. There was no banquet. However, here was a picnic where the winners eceived their prizes presented by Sdward Torda of Branch 366. Yep, iddie emceed — did a fine job. We saw Joseph Bodnar, formcr nanager of the home . . . Arpad Reay who is recuperating from sickness ... We noticed people from Toedo discussing politics, which was rery good... We saw Lou Koenig nd his wife . . . Frank Oravis and ’ony Pinter tended bar. . . Steve Barry was in charge . . . Gabe Molnár old tickets ... We thought the ofhestra was dead — they wer^ exellent for funeral marches ... Mr. ’oda sold admission tickets ... The adies in the kitchen were from he social club — did a good job, reated the public with courtesy, vhich everybody appreciated. Anthony Celebrceze, state senator, mother candidate for mayor has ■een sponsored by several prominent Verhovay members. He is' another mominent who has joined Verhovay, Branch 14. Celebreeze is an inde■endent candidate with a fine backround. Joseph Semetko had charge of he lunch tickets. He relieved me iter in the day. We saw Director Kolozsvary, Joseph Drotos and his wife, from Branch 45 on the west side the Draliks, Joe, Ann and Patricia, the Tordas the Bakos — all related — grand families, every one of them; also the Szalays, the Kovaches. Yes, this was home comingday. Frank Gyure, the mover, has a moving truck that is so big a person might lose himself in it. Helen Oravis and her daughters, Virginia and Patty, were trying to win prizes at one of the stands. Peter Shaw has a 1936 Pontiac and a 1953 Ford. He likes the Pontiac better. We were under the impression that Mary K. Sotak, council woman from the 29th ward, was a Branch .14 member, but Mrs. Gall set things straight. The lady has a good record in council, and the ward has received her undivided attention. She is a capable representative of the 29th ward. Carl Pertz likes chicken in a basket. Ann Pinter is trying to develop a new way to throw her bowling balk She aims to be a two hundred ^average bowler. A beef grower the other day on the radio asserted that he had been offered sixteen cents a pound on the hoof for his beef. Why does the farmer get so little and the consumer pay so much? Consider $1.00 to $1.10 a pound for steak. Who gets the great difference ? Somebody is making a fortune. Why doesn’t the bowling committee divide the U.S. into sections in so far as Verhovay is concerned, or by states where Verhovay insurance is sold, and let each section or state hold its own tournament, with the winners meeting in Pittsburgh or any other city to battle it out for the national championship ? Now that would be something to shoot at by both men and women. How about it? The national tournament is getting bigger every year. Eventually it will be unwieldy. So, Gentlemen, let us look to the future! Suppose 200 to 250 teams line up at a future date. Where will you get space for that many players? Such an event would be too big, and the fraternal spirit might be lacking. Think it over The September meeting of the Sports Club was called of because it was too beautiful a day to hold a meeting Sunday afternoon, altho a quorum was present. I myself wasn’t there but. that was the report I received. Regardless of the weather, a meeting should be held. Only lack of a quorum or grave rasons should give reason for no meeting. The Junior “A” League, who played on Fridays at Verhovay, could not keep the peace, so the bowlers went their separate ways. Steve Barry is bowling on the west side. He says that he shall have a 170 average by the end of the bowling season. We have heard that anybody over 45 years should transfer from the young people’s branch, thus opening the way for the younger set to assume the offices. This information, is strictly unofficial. Journal Edward Sepessy, Branch 366 member, prominent Cleveland lawyer, has movies of members who were at picnics years ago. We have about six or seven Hungarian programs on the radio, but none on television. Consider this, you business men. Before I close, may I make this observation ? The ideal society is not difficult to visualize. It can be generally agreed that there would be maximum freedom, opportunities for everyone, and the fullest and freest exchange of products and culture. If such a society can be When one says that 60 men and women students of Hungarian descent have graduated from the 83 year old institution, Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Illinois, with B. A. and B. S. degrees, many ask. “How have these people progressed?” Let us look at what a few of them are doing. Edward Urban from Bridgeport, Conn., now is working as an attorney in a Washington, D. C., law firm. He (received his B. A. from Elmhurst in '1951 and finished his law studies at a Washington, D. C. university. Andrew Gyure, a resident of Whiting. Ind., entered Elmhurst College ias a veteran and followed a premedical course. Recently, he completed his medical studies at Indiana University. Mrs. Charlotte Krivulka Schreiber1 majored in speech correction at Elmhurst. At present, she is a speech PAGE 11 conceived, it CAN BE REALIZED. But it requires knowledge. This means knowledge of fthe fundamental principles of human association, especially on the economic level. And, since the state of society ultimately rests on the active will of its citizens, such knowledge should be at the disposal of every citizen. This I believe — end of quote. Ex animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH c. o. Verhovay Home 8637 Buckeye Road Cleveland 4, Ohio therapist in the Oakland, Calif., public school system. Among numerous Cleveland young men who studied at Elmhurst is Charles Hartman.
