PAGE 10 The Late Mrs. Michael Fejes A prominent member of Branch 27, Toledo, Ohio, Mrs. Michael Fejes died November 12, 1953. She had been operated on, was apparently recover­ing, but suffered a relapse which caused her death. Solemn Requiem High Mass was celebrated for the deceased by Msgr. Elmer Eordogh assisted by Rev. Alexander Pinter and Rev. Konst at St. Stephen’s Roman Catholic Church, Toledo. Interment was at Calvary Cemetery. She is survived by her husband, six children, Michael, Emery, Julius, Andrew, Rose, Stephen, six grand­children, three sisters in Toledo, Mrs. John Kiss, Mrs. Frank Veres, Mrs. Joseph Beres, and a sister in Hun­gary, Mrs. Maria Bányász. Present at the services were Dis­trict Manager Julius Vallay and Br. 27 President Stephen Ivancso. The Toledo Verhovay bowlers were rep­resented and sent flowers. Mrs. Fejes took active part in the affairs of Branch 27 and served as its president for years. In 1938 she was in the Verhovay group that visited Hungary. Other organizations to which she belonged were the St. Elizabeth Society, the Rosary Society and the Ladies’ Catholic Benevolent Association. Two of Mrs. Fejes’ sons, Julius and Andrew, won first prize in the two-man event of the 1953 Tenth Annual National Verhovay Bowling ’ Tournament, an accomplishment by her sons which made Mrs. Fejes very proud and happy. Toledo Verhovayans have lost a; fine associate in the passing of Mrs. Michael Fejes.-----------£&>---------------­NEARLY $500 APIECE During the last fiscal year, the states collected $10,500,000,- 000 from their citizens which works out to $68 for every man, woman and child in the country. In the same year, the federal government collected $65,200,000,000 in taxes — or $410 for each and every Ame­rican. This comes to a total of $478.04 per capita, or close to $2,000 a year for a family of four — and it dosen’t include local taxes, for which figures are not available. The point is that taxes, di­rect and indirect, are the big­gest single expense borne by a great many of our families — just as they are for a great Father of Home Office Employee Passes Away A very serious ailment which struck its fatal blow within a short time claimed the life of Joseph Bela Joczik, father of Albert Jozik (Jóczik), member of the Home Of­fice personnel, on October 30, 1953, at Mercy Hospital, Pittsburgh.
