HORVATH — Cleveland, Ohio That Adamitic, winged boy with bow and arrow, Dan Cupid, must have looked back with impish delight in May and in June when he saw at the Verhovay Home Office the marital effects of his match making skill, a pursuit at which this mischievous youngster is peerless. Three and feminine they were and, by numerical coincidence, each a member of a different Home Office department. Thus it was three brides from three departments. Nagy-Toth The marriage of Miss Dorothy Nagy to Zoltán Toth was solemnized Saturday, May 28, 1955, at 3:30 in the afternoon, in the First Hungarian Lutheran Church, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The rites were read by the pastor of the church, the Rev. Paul Markovits. A visiting minister, the Rev. László Harangi, pastor of the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Pittsburgh, addressed the couple. The bride was attended by Mrs. Michael Nagy, matron of honor and her sister-in-law, Pearl Fides and Marie Toth, the bridesmaids, and Dorothy. Jane Nagy, flower girl and her niece. Best man was Charles Abaffy and ushers were Nicholas Zerinvary and Géza Zold. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nagy of West Mifflin, Pa. Her father is manager of Branch 569, West Mifflin. The bridegroom is the son of the late Sigismund Toth and Mrs. Toth of Hungary. The new Mrs. Toth has been employed at the Home Office for the past eight years. She now holds the position of cashier under National Treasurer John Szalanczy. After a honeymoon trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Mr. and Mrs. Toth are now living in Prospect Park, Pittsburgh. Drienka-Dobransky Miss Grace Drienka and Raymond Dobransky were married Saturday, June 11, 1955, in the Christ Lutheran Church, Springboro, Pa. Maid of honor was Nancy Waring and Mrs. June Partch was bridesmaid. Best man was Joseph Drienka, brother of the bride, while Francis Dobransky, brother of the bridegroom, was usher. The bride is the daüghter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Drienka of Linesville, Pa. Her mother is the sister of Mrs. Zoltán Toth (see above). The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Dobransky of Whitaker, Pa. The young Mrs. Dobransky lias been a Verhovay employee for two years and is in the Underwriting Department under National Auditor John Sabo. After a honeymoon in Niagara Falls and Canada, Mr. and Mrs. Dobransky are making their home in Munhall, Pa. Mihailovits-Fonagy The marriage of Mrs. Emerenda Mihailovits to John Fónagy took place Saturday, June 18, 1955, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Before her resignation after more than two years’ service at Verhovay, the former widow was secretary to National President John Bencze. Mr. and Mrs. Fónagy are living in Erie, Pa. where he is employed. Our congratulations to the three pairs of Verhovay newlyweds. Happy vacation days to you all. The Branch 14 outing in Bedford, Ohio was a tremendous success. About 700 people i attended, an impressive figure indeed. Prominent Verhovayans of Cleveland and its area attended, a fact we are proud of. We saw Vice President Dr. Andrew Kovács, Director Coloman Kolozsvary, Field Supervisor Leslie J. Dus, , manager of Branch 14, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Tárcái, publishers of the “Uj- I ság,” Joseph Drotos from Brahch 45, Jimmy Gall, Sigismund Kadar, Ed and Katherine Torda, Louie and Louise Torda, Jacob ' Torda the “dean” of the Tordas, John Bosway, Mrs. Mary Bodnar, her son Jimmy with his -wife and children, etc. Branch 14 District Meeting. Delegates elected were Messrs. Szalay, Hegedűs, Kovatch and Smetko. We congratulate the Branch 366 women on their victory in Chicago. These Cleveland stalwarts are worth their bowling weight in gold. We note with a sadness that the teams sent by our Verhovay home did not win even a red penny. Perhaps the alleys were too long. The next Verhovay tourney should be held in a city that hasn’t had this OUR JUNE PICNIC WAS HELD ON THE 26th, WHICH WAS THE LAST SUNDAY. IT WAS A VERY NICE DAY BUT A LITTLE ON THE CHILLY SIDE. First of all, I want to thank the good women who worked in the kitchen almost all day to keep the people well fed and satisfied; second, I want to thank the men who worked behind the bar dispensing beverages to the gathering; aad last but not least, all the kind people who had a hand in getting this picnic set and those of them who gave freely of their time to work for the good of Branch 15. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Viga are the proud grandparents of Jeffery Garrett Schaeffer who was bom to their daughter and son-in-law May 21, 1955, weighing 6 lbs 5 oz, on arrival. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Dombai are the proud parents of a new addition to their family who arrived May 29th, weighing 8 lb, and 1314 oz. The stork rather missed me this month as he reported these two births only. “Beg your stuffs department” is at work again. I pulled another one and listed the winning team in our National Tournament as the Stuparits Wreckers instead of the Stuparits Construction. Cuse, please, and I hope Steve Horvath will forgive me. I was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Mullin this month, one Saturday, and, as I stepped into the house, I was greeted by Jesse who immediately offered me a drink. Since it was my last call for the day, I took the drink and I asked him what the occasion was. He told me that they were celebrating their 37th wedding honor yet, and under the auspices of the new name of the society, and, of course, the approval of the incoming Rákóczi. We were saddened to hear that Dr. Andor Leffler, Pastor of the First Hungarian Lutheran Church, had a heart attack. At this writing we hear he is improving steadily. The doctors have prescribed peace, quiet arid no visitors. A SPEEDY RECOVERY TO YOU, DR. LEFFLER. In June St. John’s Sports Club celebrated its 10th anniversary. We met at a picnic sponsored by a local society several Verhovayans. There were Mr. and Mrs. Coloman Karnya and daughter, Rita, Mr. and Mrs. Bertrand Luscik, Joseph M. Toth, Gene Toth and his two daughters, Elmer Dorny, and several others (making the whole thing more than several). The weather is muggy here in Cleveland! so we are driven to a short article this month. Ex Animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH c. o. Verhovay Home 8637 Buckeye Road Cleveland 4, Ohio. anniversary. Congratulations to the both of them on their long and happy marriage. For the benefit of those members who did not attend our June District Meeting, I am happy to report that the following good members were elected delegates to the coming convention in September. Mr. Joseph Hodits, Mr. Frank Balogh and Mr. Jim Radi, and Mr. John Wesesku is the first alternate. Before I forget, I want to thank those fellows who took my place on Sunday, the day of our picnic, when I had to leave with my son so that he could compete in a ball game. He is a Little Leaguer in Norridge Village, and I could not let him down. Those of you who missed me during the afternoon, the above excuse is the reason. By the way they won their baji game in the ninth inning. A Little League ball game is only innings long. They had to play extra innings after tying in the 6th inning. I am making this article very brief as I still have some running about to do to get everything straight before I leave early Saturday morning for some fishing in the state of Minnesota, where I hope to catch walleyes. Till my next article, I say to myself: HAPPY FISHING! MINUTES OF THE DISTRICT SESSIONS District 21 The meeting is held on June 5, 1955 at the Young People’s Lodge in I órain ,Ohio. The session opens with district chairman Wendell Futo calling to the attention of the group that a matter of great importance must be decided. Nominations for delegates to the Convention follow. Nominated are George Jayor, Joseph Dovak, Michael Beregszaszy. Secret ballots are taken. George Jávor is elected Convention delegate and Joseph Dovak alternate delegate. 1 Stephen Gaspar and Joseph Szanto favor merger with the Rákóczi Aid Association. Wendell Futo proposes that the 1924 liens on the old certificates be cancelled or reduced. * George Jávor voices his disapproval of the $300 monthly pension plan. It is the request" of Frank Pagacs that, in the future, mail addressed to the district meetings be left sealed until the sessions. Joseph Sarady proposes that the Home Office pay branch telephone bills. The meeting unanimously is of the opinion that, since in the future Branch 17 will have a part-time employed manager, it should have the right to choose that manager with approval from the Home Office. The chairman expresses his gratitude to the delegates for their attention, interest and patience, then adjourns the meeting. —TIBOR MESSINGER, District Recorder
