1954 / Verhovay Journal
Verhovay FORTY AND EIGHT NEW YORK'S NEWS AND VIEWS Journal October 20; 1954. First it was hurricanes, then Marilyn Monroe, then the World Series, and now it’s summer all over agian in New York, only worse. It’s getting so that the seasons don’t know whether they are coming or going, iand this one we wish would go that’s! for surely To make matters worse, everytime the post arrives I find catalogs for Christmas shopping. It seems as though they want us women to do our Christmas hinting early! On October 1st we held our monthly meeting as usual, with A1 Ancsanyi taking over for A1 Ibos who was away for the Board of Directors meeting in Pittsburgh. It was good to see more of you present. Now with your coming, and some more each time, maybe we can get the ball rolling again. The children’s party plans are progressing nicely, •and again we ask those of you who have received the invitations to be sure to mail the reply cards as soon as possible, so we may know how many children to prepare for. Through necessity, we have had to limit the ages — it is our first party and we want it to be a success. We feel if we don’t bite off more than we can chew, everyone will surely have more fun. We do hope you and your children are going to enjoy our little program and we are looking forward to having you with us on November 21st. At the meeting, Miss Margaret Emody, who always does such a beautiful job of singing for us, offered her services for our November 13 gala affair in honor of Joseph Toma. We enjoy Miss Emody’s renditions and her charming ways. We do hope YOU have already purchased your tickets for the affair which, as you all know, shall be to show Joe how much we really think of him. Incidentally, we are now starting our meetings PROMPTLY at 8 o’clock. On Sunday October 3, we traveled to Bridgeport, Connecticut for the dedication services of the new Rákóczi building. Upon arriving, it was nice to be greeted by the Verhovay officials: Mr. Bencze, Mr. Revesz, Mr. Szalanczy, Mr. Sabo and Field Assistant to the National President Elmer Charles, as well as all the Directors, including' our own very popular ones, Messrs. A1 Falussy and A1 Ibos. By we,, I should say New York 48 was represented by Field Supervisor Joe Toma and Mrs. Toma, Mr. Julius Vallay and Mrs. Margie Nemeth. It was the first (time since the tournament that I had the happy occasion of again speaking to our beloved president and other Board members. It’s always such a pleasant occasion when old friendships are renewed, and this was indeed just such a one. Also met Mr. Mike Korosy from Alliance, Ohio whom I did not meet at the dance in May. The dedication services were held outdoors under very threatening iskies, but it didn’t rain. I certainly must congratulate the Rákóczi Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Varga, for keeping the program ‘‘‘short and sweet” as well as interesting. The speakers were: Mr. Albert Kocsis- Mr. Varga and Mr. L. Varga-Mr. Stelkovics and Mr. Kundrath-Rev. Francis Phillip-Rev. Emil Nagy-Fr. Hutcbins-Mr. Vasas-Rev. Francis Ujlaky-Mr. Peter Suto-Mr. Magyary and Rev. Bessemer — all very interesting. Our own MR. JOHN BENCZE sent greetings and good wishes to the Rákóczi for all of us, not only to Rákóczi but to the people of Bridgeport. The dinner, which was held at the Stratfield Hotel, was conducted in the same fine vein our own New York affair was run. A perfectly captivating young lady, Miss Theresa Czernai, was quite the hit of the evening along with her young brother Joseph. They simply walked off with our hearts. I hope we shall be fortunate enough to have the pleasure of seeing them perform again. The highlight of the program was meeting Governor Cabot Lodge and his pretty wife Franceska, and that’s a low whistle you just heard gals. Man oh man! Not only is the Governor handsome and distinguished looking but he is a powerful speaker, most impressive and sincere. Meeting all the officials of the Rákóczi was another great pleasure for me, and I must say their modern way of thinking, as well as their modern building (which is really beautiful), impressed me muci. Mr. Kocsis, The Messrs. Varga and ALL 'the gentlemen were most cordial, iand we are sure that with all the wisdom between this fine organization and our own WONDERFUL VERHOVAY. thi ngs ars going to work out fine for the benefit of all concerned. We want especially to thank -Mr. and Mrs. Louis Varga for having invited us to their beautiful and graciously appointed home* after the dinner. It was a most enjoyable way to conclude a very pleasant day. It was indeed a great pleasure to be with such a gracious and charming host and hostess. Thank you once again. Congratulations to Field Supervisor Leslie Dus on his choice of the John Bencze plaque as an extraordinary prize. I should like very much to see one of those plaques some day. (I understand there was some friendly rivalry between our Joe Toma, the Giants and Mr. Dus and the woebegone Indians?) Reading about West Virginia’s celebrations last month, it was no surprise to us to read how rapidly Field Assistant to the National President Elmer Charles was able to induce Congressman Byrd to join our Verhovay ranks. He’s right (there with the mostest all the time. I personally think he must have a secret vitamin that gives him boundless energy, as you never see him idle at any of these affairs. I really hope J. J. Horvath comes in with a landslide. Good Luck to you. Sir! ADAM SIMON. JR. OF NEW BRUNSWICK: WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THOSE PICTURES ? We wish we could attend the affair in Pittsburgh on Nov. 6, which the Newest Chapter of the American Hungarian Federation is holding at the Stephen Foster Memorial Auditorium. The speakers are to be the best and we know ä very pleasant evening is bound to be had by all who attend. I wish I could be there. We all know in our hearts it is a most worthy organization that deserves all the support we can give it. Have YOU sent in your two dollars for the year’s membership? Please do so if you haven’t as yet sand show in this way how very PROUD YOU are of being of HUNGARIAN descent. Thanks, Toledo and Mr. Ivancso, for your good wishes. I am happy to say that I really do feel fine and jn tip-top shape and hope I hold out ito take you up on that offer for the tournament. Got your dancing slippers ready? Evidently no one really cares what happens to me and that basket I wrote about last month since nary ,a soul has come forth with an idea, but in the hopes that some kind soul will take pity on us we have relegated it to the basement. We recently heard that the Boszilkivs were adding another to their family and will be the first in our group to have four children — but) it seems it’s going to be a race between them and the Joe Rongo’s who will do the same with one half the effort. Lee may present Joey with TWINS. How’se about THAT? On our sick list this month we have my better half. Ernie was laid up with a bad back, but we surely are all hoping he can get back to bowling soon. Come to think of it, why can’t I sub for him? Birthday greetings this month go (to Helen Gruber, to Stephen Kish who is my very own PAPA, and belated greetings go to Partmann Bácsi, whom I missed last month. All the best tö all of you! Don’t forget that on November 13, at the 116th Street Church, we shall be waiting for you. We should have lots of fun, and please, let’s not let Joe down. Fraternally yours, Mrs. MARGIE NEMETH, 199-13 26th Avenue, Bayside 58, N. Y. Bayside 4-4399. P. S. I almost forgot to tell you (that on Sunday night at eight! o’clock, on* October 30, at the DIPLOMAT HOTEL, 108 West 43 St., the famous TATAR’S (Verhovay members), premier dancers in the Hungarian Opera House, will give their delightful performances. Tickets range from $1.25 to $2.50. Don’t miss them for they are par excellence!
