1954 / Verhovay Journal
THOSE WHO GO BECOME REPEATERS PAGE 12 Verhovay Journal May 19, 1954. FORTY AND EIGHT NEW YORK'S NEWS AND VIEWS Children’s Day in Detroit Children in performance warm the cockles of anyone’s heart, and that is what these young'sters did at the Children’s Day program held in Detroit on Sunday afternoon, March 28, 1954. The story of the gay event was reported in the Verhovay Journal o£ last month by Jolán Lucas, in her column, MOTOR CITY NEWS. Enjoy yourself — it’s later than you think, At the Commodore we’ll dance and drink; Enjoy yourself with all your bowling friends, Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it’s later than You think! No song writer am I as can plainly be seen, but the point is clear we’re sure! YOU’LL BE SORRY if YOU don’s come to New York for the tournament! You know, we are all well aware of -the fact that none of us is “rolling in the chips,” as the saying goes, but we feel that it’s such a rare opportunity to indulge in an event such as this that it is well worth the sacrifice the trip might entail. THIS IS NEW YORK! Fabulous, wonderful, exciting, majestic, the wonderful town you’ve all read about, heard about, dreamed about. THIS IS NEW YORK, where every one has an aunt, cousin or buddy to visit, and so much can be accomplished while here — visiting — good timeg with your Verhovay brothers and scads of events to attend. Just have a goodly supply of energy on hand (and low heeled shoes for the gals). You simply can not afford NOT TO COME! Let’s all make the effort to be at the dinner and dance. New Yorkers! Jerseyites! and fellow Verhovayans all up and down the East coast — Don’t let us down, come show all the other branches how well we can do. Continental music -— excellent food — grand friends — HOW can you beat this combination? — Come on, let’s get set for the big night. And girl’s, don’t worry about your outfits! Most of us are going in dressy dresses. If, of course, you have a formal, that’s swell. Wear it. But since dress is optional just put your best bib and tucker on and come. Every gentleman knows of course that dress shirts, ties and suits are to be worn for the dinner and dance. No bowling shirts for the big night. The men shall have ample time to change and freshen up after the bowling sessions, and I bet the Grand Ballroom will be mighty pleased to see so many well groomed and handsome men gathered together with their lovely ladies. Our Verhovay boys and their friends have always been impeccably dressed, I know, and I just mention the above in case someone be in doubt. There’s going to be a number of us on hand to meet and greet you at the Hotel Commodore, and should any question arise you may ask for information at the registration desk of the Convention Bureau, which I believe is located in the lobby of the hotel. I hppe to be there on Friday, the 28th, as well as the other days, along with other members, so call on us if we can be of assistance. Tension and the anticipation of a glorious time are mounting as the time draws ever closer. I for one can hardly wait. Boy, if there’s -anything I’d rather do than eat, it is to dance, and thre’s where we get! the chance to do both! Clear the decks, hero we come! It was recently called to my attention that we actually have colleges that have Hungarian departments in their divisions of modern languages. One of them is Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Illinois,’ with a fine Hungarian Library collection. Recently the department acquired 15 wall maps of Hungary .which add much to the teaching of Magyar history and must be of tremendous value to students interested in the language. It must be wonderful to be able to take advantage of the Verhovay scholarships which are available for its members, and to apply it towards a wonderful opportunity such as this —to be able to interpret for others the Hungarian heritage and further its culture. Ah — if only like ,A1 Ibos’ favoi-ite song (Szeretnék még egyszer húsz éves lenni), I too could take advantage of it. I would be knocking at the college doors. Who knows. Maybe when the boys are older I can take advantage of a grant or scholarship such as are available for students thru the Hungarian Student Aid Fund provided by individuals and Magyar groups. If any of you would be interested in more information about this wonderful college with 83 years of prestige and culture behind it, please write to Mr. August J. Molnár in care of the college. He will gladly give you the help you may want. I am happy too that J.J. Horvath has decided to stay with us for a while longer, and certainly hope that he can come to N.Y. for the great event. Congratulations to Mr. Bill Varga1 of Branch 129, who bowled that grand game of 300! Sure do want to shake your hand! See you in N.Y., Sir. After reading the bowling schedules, I was amazed to see how many women bowlers are representing Verhovay. It’s a shame we in N.Y. haven’t made any efforts along this line. We have the bowlers too, and good ones. Well, gals, that’s another thing we shall have to put on the agenda and discuss for the fall. I see that Mr. Joseph Toma shall receive the ‘Illustrious” citation! a low bow to thee, 0 GREAT WHITE FATHER! Keep up the good work, We are proud of such an industrious worker as our Field Supervisor who, aside from business matters, can take a joke as well as tell one! In fact on May 2 he bowled a wonderful 222 game, when the team played the second half of the home and home game with the CWF of the Comm. Barry Post. It was real close up to the second game, but the victory, despite Joe’s excellent wood toppling, was the Vets. Could it be that because they had all their wives and the children along as a rooting section that this cheered them on to victory? Can’t understand it — little Chickie Fabian (who brought his old man along to play), Richard, Bobby and myself, rooted for our boys, but guess we weren’t strong enough for the opposition, altho A1 Ibos surely went to town. Some day (and I surely don’t want to miss it), we just know Al’s going to swallow either a cigar or cigarette in his excitement. It was our extreme pleasure and privilege to have Dr. Kovács, and Mr. John Sabo of the Home Office, attend a committee meeting at our home. Mr. Sabo and I have corresponded for the last ten years, and this was the first opportunity we had to meet. It was a pleasure indeed. Plans were discussed for the coming event, with both gentlemen urging us to do our utmost, along with Mr. A1 Falussy. Previous to this meeting, the above gentlemen, along with Dr. Kalman Molnár, president of the Eastern District of the American Hungarian Federation, Mr. Ibos and Joe Toma, held another caucus at the Commodore, discussing various angles, etc. that come into being with an affair such as this one. Dr. Molnár assures us all his members shall be working with us to make the affair a huge success. Rev. Emery Kovács of the 69 St. Reformed Church has asked all his parish members to participate. If everyone shows up who has promised to come — GOLLY ! We hope that all of you, during your stay here, shall use your souvenir albums as guides to good eating places by patronizing our sponsers. Our Yorkville section will, we think, prove to be particularly fruitful and interesting to you all! The very best of wishes go to Springdale, Pa.!! New York envies you all who are fortunate enough to have your own Verhovay Otthons! One of these days, maybe, we too will He fortunate enough to join your ranks. Meanwhile we hope that every venture undertaken in your new home will be successful. For those of you who STILL haven’t bought your tickets — you still have time to get them from the district office or from the following: Verhovay — Joseph Toma — 205 East 85th St. N.Y. 28, N.Y. REgent 4-2787; A1 Ibos, who may be reached at OL. 2-7674, or his business number LO. 5-6934; Margie Nemeth — BAyside 4-4399. And those of you who asked to have tickets mailed to you, will you please make sure to have your remittance in the mail by the 20th and no later? Please don’t make me dun you for them, as I am personally responsible for each and every ticket, and Joe Toma simply refuses to take lamp shades in exchange for money! By the time you all read this, you will no doubt be all packed and almost out the door. We all hope that you are looking forward to this great occasion as much as we in New York are. We hope that our tired committee men will be repaid by hundreds of you, enjoying yourselves. That is all we ask of you —■ to come have fun, make merry, and, until the 28th: Keep well, and we’U see you then. Oh yes —if you look for me just look for someone who looks as if she combs her hair with an egg beater — just got the new Italian look hair cut, — Yipe — it’s strictly for the birds! See you at the Commodore! MARGE NEMETH 199-13 26th Avenue Bayside, 58 New York P.S. Birthday greetings to Gayle Gruben!
