HORVATH — Cleveland, Ohio ia ■■■■■■ ■■■a ■■■nanaaeiBa Journal PAGE 5 TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS Abahazi Foto Arts Studio This picture was taken of the Bowlerettes of Branch 366, Cleveland, Ohio, when a party was recently held in their honor for having won the major prize at the 1955 Chicago National Verhovay Bowling Tournament. The gentlemen on the potograph are Edward Torda, left, well known Cleveland Verhovayan, and Leslie J. Dus, right. Field Supervisor of Cleveland. We do not know whether the little boy is the mascot of the Bowlerettes, but if not, we recommend his immediate appointment to the position. It’s hot and humid in Cleveland. Rain would be blessed relief. Would that it drench our fair metropolis. July 6th. We heard a cry, jumped out of our car and ran to the corner of 118 and Buckeye where we saw an old lady lying in the street, a car standing near-by. Our first thought was that she had been hit. But the poor woman, hurrying home after having completed her shopping, twisted her frail ankle and fell. Nobody knew what had happened. People tried to question her, but her only response was that her leg hurt. Louis Nyiri, grocer, brought her a pillow, and someone called the police for an ambulance. She wanted to go home. Nobody understood. Finally, the police came, hand’ed her gently as they placed her in the ambulance. She could be heard crying softly, hands covering her face, as though it were breaking her heart. Only a person of stone could remain unaffected by this touching scene. The officers reassured her, told the elderly woman that she would not have to pay the hospital bill, as they took her away for medical examination. We understand that charity begins at home. Helping the needy is a must for all our clergymen and others too. We heard of a family of father and mother, with nine children, who came to Cleveland years ago. They were lost in the big city — few friends — and their great need was unknown to others until the head of one of our churches found out. An alderman or councilman was dispatched to ascertain the needs of this impoverished household. Within a matter of an hour or two this home was sent food, clothing, and so forth. This splendid aid went on for about five years, especially during Christmas. Then came the time when the head of the family, now self-sufficient, no longer needed this succor but begged that others, enduring the plight which was once his, be remembered until they too no longer were in dire circumstances. The aforegoing is just one of the fine deeds coming to our attention. I am sure that there are many more of similar nature. The Rev. Msgr. Emery Tanos, Pastor of St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church, has done much in assisting those caught in the web of unfortunate circumstances. Four delegates will represent Br. 14 at the Verhovay Convention, and the total service of these gentlemen, a barber, a tailor, a tavern keeper and a government worker is more than 100 years’ worth to Verhovay. We salute these pillars of our Association, who will give Verhovay the long expereince of their sincere efforts and deep enthusiasm. What they have done for the branch they will certainly do in even greater measure for the Association. At every outing of the American Legion, Post 551, the so called Hungarian Post, there is a good turnout. We saw a number of Verhovayans at the post’s latest picnic, among them Sigismund Kadar, James Kovach, Steve Vache and his daughter Barbara, Mike Gyurko, the Karnya’s, Cal, Mary, Rita, Patsy, Ronnie and Cal, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Lumpy, Bert and Marge Luscik. There is a new manager at St. John’s Hall, a Mr. Ernie Latsko, and there will be a new manager at the Verhovay Hall because the present one, Mr. Nick Juhasz, said that the new contract gives him no alternative but to quit. Joseph Kadar, probation officer, Cleveland, will vacation in Canada where he will fish. John Matyas’s restaurant is for sale. He was formerly manager of the Verhovay Home. I understand that there is sickness in the family. The Bubonic’s are expecting. The Pinter’s, Tony and Ann, will spend their vacation in Monterey, Mexico. The Sports Club will hold a wiener roast on Sunday, September 4th, at a place designated by the chairman of the entertainment committee, Frank Oravis. The meeting date has been changed to August 31st for the Sports C ub, so everyone will have full knowledge of where to go for this event. Mrs. Joseph Bodnar has donated three pans to the Sports Club. MANY THANKS, MRS. BODNAR. Our condolence to the family of Judge Louis Petrash. Mrs. Weizer, the mother of Mrs. Petrash, died recently and was buried from St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church. We regret to inform our readers about the death of one of our prominent Branch 14 members, Mr. Frank Pinter. We had a great admiration for his ability as a parliamentarian, a debater and a good chess player. His going is a loss to Verhovay. Bela and Dorothy Kastan are again vacationing in Florida. They must REALLY want hot water. We hear that the Buckeye Window Cleaning- Company will distribute wallets, pocket secretaries, etc. next Christmas to their customers and friends. Magyar Day this year will again be at Puritas Springs Park, on August 21st. The Cleveland Young Men and Young Women’s Society held its yearly picnic at Kalo’s farm on July 24th. There were ten cash prizes, about six door prizes, in addition to good food at reasonable prices and an excellent orchestra. The admission was only fifty cents. There was no price gouging at this event. It was refreshing to pay lower prices and be in an atmosphere of friendliness and fraternalism. We went into St. John’s Catholic Cathedral at East 9th and Superior on Saturday, July 23d. I do hope that the air conditioned edifice was not the deciding influence that sent me into this place of worship. A wedding was in progress. What struck me was the solemnity of the occasion, High Mass, Holy Communion, angelic organ music and the blessing of the couple before the altar. After Mass the couple walked down the aisle, the bride looked up at her husband smilingly, he squeezed her hand in a kind of reassurance that the future would be bright, and as they reached the outside their waiting friends showered them with rice. The wedding car had a New Jersey license plat.e We have heard that Emery Készéi and Joseph Drotos were elected delegates to the National Verhovay Convention. They will represent Branch 45, Cleveland, Ohio. Both are fine Verhovay members and the Convention would do no wrong if it elected either to some office. Congratulations to both. The parting of ways seems to be more of an ordeal for women than it is for men. When the time has come to say good-by — for ever perhaps — one feels that something is going out of one’s life. Women break down and cry — forgiveness — all past rudeness, etc. are forgotten — and godspeed is the wish. Deep are the sentiments of women. We enjoyed the legislative work. Six of our bills will become law. I voted for important labor legislation, the Pension Bill, the Credit Union Bill and good insurance bil s. We missed two days out of the last session because of illness. I attended all the committee meetings. I voted to sustain the Governor’s veto on ten bills or more. I did think he was wrong on a couple, or misinformed. So, on these bases, I am a candidate again, for the May primaries in 1956. Ex Animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH c.o.
