MGR.’S NEW ADDRESS Mrs. John Sinitz 8519 Glencoe Circle Wauwatosa 13, Wis.----------'4%$^---------­Silence is an ignorant man’s most valuable possession only so long as he can keep it. The reason a mother can get so much done in a day is that the children give her so much to do, Fortune is very generous at times, but when she gives you anything she never tells you for how long. Here’s the women’s team of Branch 8, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, who no doubt are smiling- in anticipation of winning some of the prizes at the Verhovay bowling tourney in New York. • Front row, in the position of cheer leaders, left to right, are: Mrs. Frank Tobakos, Mrs. Stephen •Petruska, Jr., captain, Dorothy He­gedűs; standing- in back, left to right: 'Mrs. Michael Faczan, Ethel Faczan, Caroline Hegedűs. Parades, pageant spectacles, and a whole galaxy of thrilling entertain­ment, spiritual, cultural, musical and national sports events, have been woven into the community-wide year long- celebration of Omaha’s hund­redth birthday party, known offi­cially as the Omaha 1954 Centennial. Omaha’s relig-ious, nationality, fra­ternal, industrial and civic groups, as well as out-state towns, will par­ticipate in many of the events or will salute Omaha with programs of their own on the “Theme Center,” Omaha’s birthday cake stage, from early June to late August. The Omaha Hungarians, most of whom are Verhovay members, will salute Omaha on August 17th with a program of Hungary’s finest, most cultured music, dance and pageantry on this beautiful outdoor stage. Verhovay Branch 278 of Omaha, the Hungarian Home and all other Omaha Hungarian lodges and clubs have promised their full support to the Executive Committee of the Omaha Hungarian-American Centen­nial Group, composed of old, new and second-generat ion Hungarians, and headed by Mrs. Anne Koros Hen­­nessv as Chairman. Mrs. Hennessy, whose father is a long-time member and past officer of Branch 278, is devoting almost a hundred percent of her time to the promotion and success of this celebration. It is hoped to secure beautiful authentic regional costumes for this, as well as the Nationality Folk Fes­tival in October. Thig is a major and most difficult problem as very little folk-dress has been brought into the country in the past several years. ' “We would appreciate help with costumes or costume patterns,” says Mrs. Hennessy, “and if there are Hungarians anywhere in the realm of Verhovay, who can help us secure these costumes or patterns, please Another member of the team, Mrs. Michael Duray, was not present when this photograph was taken. These ladies deserve the admira­tion of all. When bad working- con­ditions in the Johnstown area made their going to New York look im­probable, they, under the direction of Mrs. Faczan, held bake sales to overcome their financial plight. Now they just can’t bake enough for their satisfied customers! write me in care of the Omaha Cen­tennial Office, 607 City Hall, Omaha, Nebraska.” “Surely there are ma­gyar folk costumes among the many magyars of America and that ever­growing circle of Verhovayans. You not only would be helping your na­tionality receive recognition as a cultured nation but also your bro­ther Verhovayads, since a greater percent of them are Verhovay mem­bers.” The Folk Festival of National pro­gram on October 24, 1954, United Nations Day, will be one of the out­standing events of the year, de­finitely most significant and timely. The first Secretary-General of the United Nations, Trygve Lie, will be the key-note speaker and his theme will emphasize the contributions of all nationality groups in the develop­ment of a united community, The United States, and the fact that the qualities embodied in the combined contribution of the nationality groups represent our strongest hope for United Nations and a peaceful world. The Hungarians, though one of the smallest of the nationality groups, will undoubtedly put on one of the finest acts of the program as they are already enthusiastically attending rehearsals of choral sing­ing and folk dancing. The young people, some of whom have never danced a csárdás or a Magyar folk dance, are learning these dances and enjoying them tremendously. The enthusiasm of the Hungarians is evident in the faithful attendance at rehearsals and meetings, and their whole-hearted cooperation in the several fund-raising projects the Committee has sponsored has shown good results. Gaspar Kuti, manager of Branch 278, a real worker for Verhovay, is also a member of this Executive Committee Verhovayans in Omaha 1954 Centennial
