HORVATH — Cleveland, Ohio Journal PAGE 11 Unfortunately, I shall be unable to bowl at the New York Verhovay bowling tournament. My physician has ordered a cessation of activities of such nature temporarily. However, I will continue to write because several people have remarked that they enjoy this column, so my ego rose so high that I promised to keep up the articles. Yep, flattery is a great tonic. Oh yes, if possible, I may go as an onlooker, but being unemployed for six or seven months has its drawbacks. The pre-lenten dance at Verhovay Branch 14 was a moderate success, and a fair-sized group attended in spite of the weather’s being nasty wet. We heard that Steve Barry sold the most admission tickets; he attended bar also with Joseph Hegedűs, a former president of Branch 14. Joe Kontur and his wife Rosie were there . . . the Bodnar’s, Mary, Joe and son Jimmy with his wife . .. Helen Oravis was having a good time with George and Adeline Bubonic ... the kitchen was handled by Mrs. Ehasz, Mrs. Krabacs and Mrs. Joseph Szalay . . . The Pinter’s, Ann and Tony, were there . . . Joseph Szalay was at the door. Because of an earlier engagement, I, wasn’t there. zr Joseph Rippner, Branch 14 member, is chief dance hall inspector for the City of Cleveland. We are glad to learn that Joe holds such a position of' trust. No wonder so many of our dance hall inspectors are Hungarians and Verhovay members. Joe does accounting and tax work on the side. Frank J. Pokorny, Cleveland real estate man and a radio announcer who has his own Hungarian program over WADC, Akron, is high up in the administration of Frank J. Lausche, Governor of Ohio. The Governor, a member of Branch 14, is up for reelection, but is unopposed in the primary. Our Governor is very popular in Ohio and probably will be elected to his fifth term. He appears to be Presidential timber. Andy Bakos, Branch 366, is bowling in the big league at Colony Recreation .. . Whenever Ann Pinter has company for dinner at her home on bowling night, it upsets her game. M e watched her roll a tremendous 97 one night. Joseph Barry,‘ controller of the Verhovay Home, is working real hard on the entertainment committee. He has good, useful ideas about a lot of things. The February and March issues of our Verhovay Journal were top notch. It was a real pleasure to read them. This is the last issue before the May 4th primary in Ohio. Let me remind our members who live in Ohio, particularly those who dwell in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, that there are several Verhovay members aspiring to office on the Democratic ticket, as Frank J. Lausche, Governor of Ohio, for reelection; Thomas A. Burke for United States Senator; Mary K. Sotak, for Congressman, United States; Yours Truly, Joseph J. Horvath, for State Representative to the General Assembly in Columbus; Zoltán Toma and William Ruschak, also candidates for the House; and Alex J. Horvath for State Senator to the General Assembly. Your support and good word will be highly appreciated by the above. Tony Pinter is a Saturday and Sunday kegler now. Where is the Branch 14 Quarterly ? What happened ? A flash in the pan ? Apparently someone discovered that it takes much work to produce a tabloid! We wish Gene Palka, base ball pitcher, the best of luck in the big leagues. He’s a Branch 39-er from Beaver Falls, Pa. We envy Irene Orosz of Branch 443, Detroit, Michigan, because she’s doing what many of us would like to do —■ visiting European countries, three months of sight seeing. Just imagine. Her itinerary would be interesting reading. The St. John’s Sports Club held a card party for the new St. John’s Greek Rite Catholic Church. A number of Verhovayans are members of this group. Among those we saw were Mary Karnya and her children, Joseph Nagy, Joseph M. Toth, Helen Oravis and her husband, Oscar Federau of Branch 14, a Frenchman who is one of the best sports on Buckeye, and Mary K. Sotak. Edward Sepessy, member of Branch 366, who is a Cleveland lawyer with an excellent reputation for. honesty, integrity, soundness and fairness, is so overworked that he is planning a vacation to the West and over the Pacific — to the Hawaiian Islands for a week, then back to San Francisco for two weeks to visit his brother who lives there. Of course sight seeing will be on the agenda. San Francisco stands on a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. Its harbor is reached thru the Golden Gate. The wharves and business streets of the city are on the east side towards the bay, while the residential part is on the ocean side. San Francisco furnishes the natural outlet for the great valley of California. This has helped make the city the leading industrial and commercial center of the Golden State. The harbor is one of the best in North America. Foreign trade is large, especially with countries bordering the Pacific. Of course there are other cities of interest, such as Oakland, across the bay, Alameda and Berkeley on the east shore, Palo Alto to the south, San Jose, etc. Then if time doesn’t run out, there are Los Angeles, San Diego and Mexico’s Lower California. ‘Tis a grand trip — but it exists only in my imagination. Have a good time, Ed, and bring us a keepsake, will you? John and Betty Knapp are enthusiastic fishers. They are impatiently awaiting warm weather, THEN out on Lake Erie! We have heard that a new organisation called Sons and Doughters of Magyars may make its debut in the very near future here in Cleveland. The title sounds good, and if the society is organized on a sound basis it may go far. Louis Városi has obtained for himself a set of ne\y license plates — free. How? By being thoughtful. The wind blew a man’s hat away. Louis stopped his car to help retrieve the hat. The Cleveland News and Cleveland Automobile Dealers Association are sponsoring a Golden Rule Drivers Safety Campaign, and the Golden Rule drivers are recommended by the Police Department. Louie was seen doing this kindly act, so the result. Yep, Louis works in the Police Department sign shop. A must in the legislative field is the St. Lawrence sea way. To get ready for it all cities on the Great Lakes must prepare. Part of my job in the legislature would be to help sell Ohio as the best state, with the best harbors, and the best location in the nation, Cleveland, to our potential customers. The St. Lawrence sea way is the key to the city’s future. Cleveland men, money and machines have pierced the frozen wilds of Labrador to tap multi-billion dollars of ore lode of higher grade than the fabulous Mesabi range. The St. Lawrence sea way will give this ore a cheap route to Cleveland’s blast furnaces. A new railroad was completed in February, 1954, running from Seven Island to Knob Lake, a distance of some 360 miles. Dams and power houses were also made. The St. Lawrence sea way will make Cleveland a world shipping port. It will be finished in only five years. Will Cleveland be ready ? I’ll say she will! with the same foresight that our men of means, of vision have done in the past. We will march forward in the future. The legislative branch must render aid in every way, shape or form for the betterment of Ohio’s lake ports, because of the tremendous impact coming to these places. I want to see Ohio prosper, its people working, and to make Cleveland the hub of all these activities. Inland cities too will 'benefit from these vast improvements. So lend a hand. Let us not lose this chance of a life time. Frank Szabó, former vice president of Branch 14, is on the sick list. We were informed by Joseph Szalay that Frank slipped at the funeral of his colleague, that the weight of the casket almost fell on him. But fortunately, Frank strained his back only, which, however, is painful. Gene Toth is working at the Ford plant on Brookpark Rd., Brookpark, Ohio. Stephen G. Szabó will visit his wife’s relatives during the Verhovay tourney May 29—30. They live in New Jersey. After much persuasion, Mrs. S. Szabó consented to stay as treasurer of St. John’s Greek Catholic Society for another year. She is a fine woman, tireless in all Hungarian activities. Joseph M. Toth was elected delegate to the United Hungarian Societies. He is an able man, believer in Christian principles, fighter for the American way of life, and steady worker in lodge and church affairs. Leslie J. Dus, secretary and manager of Branch 14, informs us that a soccer team is in the making and that it has had several practice sessions at Verhovay Hall. In his opinion the players are very good. They need an English speaking manager to arrange matters for them. Our nomination for that job is a gentleman of talent who has played this galne of soccer in and about Cleveland, in fact was an outstanding player, a star, on several teams. This man is Joseph A. Kadar, Verhovay member, probation officer, a gentleman indeed. He speaks Hungarian too — as a professor. We are sure that if the right approach is made by Mr. Dus Mr. Kadar will take the soccer team under his wing. Ernie and Steve Szalay were potential soccer stars in their hey days. They would also be good managers. Betty Knapp, chairman of the Verhovay banquet committee for the Sports Club, is really going to town. We think she is a grand person. The affair will go over big on Sunday, May 16, 1954. We wish the Sports Club a happy birth day. Five years Old. This rambling could go on indefinitely, but the time has come to close — and a thousand thanks to Ann V. (Biro) Balogh. Ex animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH c.o.
