PAGE 14 Verhovay BRANCH 15 — CHICAGO, ILL. By: Ernest C. Taylor, District Mgr. SENTINEL Journal December 21, 1955 QUAKER CITY NEWS Branch 76 Philadelphia, Pa, By Joann Pogson December is a very busy month for most of us, as this is the month when we of the Christian Faith prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ. To most people it means much running around, with all the shopping for gifts to pass out to relatives, children and very good friends. This is the month that all the children suddenly become very good and act as little angels. All year long they are just children, but not this month, and even more so are they angelic as the fateful day, the 25th, draws closer and closer. Over and above of all the joys that this time of year brings, let us all, in church or as you may wish, give the LORD our thanks for the prosperity and good life that we enjoy. Congratulations to ..M a r g a r e t Schneider, formerly Margaret Irocky, who on December 10th will be installed as chaplain of Cathedral Chapter 683, Eastern Star. She will handle the arrangements for a party of 250 at this fine occasion. We should also like to congratulate her brother, Arthur Irocky, who is to be inducted as the Worshipful Master in the Oriental Lodge #33 of the Ancient and Free and Accepted Masons. There were two births reported to me this month. Our congratulations to the Charles Horvath family, blessed wih a son they have named Steve M. Horvath. He was born on October 16th and weighed 6 lbs. 6 oz. Congratulations also to the Dan Igyarto family on a daughter, born in the month of November and This month’s article is being written with much fervor and zeal, not only because our bowling arms aren’t sore any longer, but mainly for the nice comment I received (incidently, the only one) for this jumble called “Tube City News.” I must also mention that the compliment came all the way from San Fernando, California from Mrs. Stanley Kray. Since many of you Branch 226-ers know Mrs. Kray best by her maiden name, I won’t tell you who she is, but you can guess. Remember this is your last chance to “'heat the other couple.” And now for a look at the bowling front. It’s a long struggle but I think we’ll make it. The other columns I read always report scores, such as, “Joe Blow rolls a 700 series,” or Mary Contrary fired a sizzling 289” etc. Not we, however. Not on your life. Our scores are sacred. But if you want a report here it is: Sunday — scene — Palay’s Battleground. Weather — clear and foggy. named Iris Irene. Let’s hope that before too long these children will also become members of Verhovay, as their parents. AVe extend our heartiest welcome to the following new members: Mrs. William Ileder, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Hofman, Dick Hewett, the son-inlaw of Irene and Joe Exner, Leslie Takach, the new husband of Jim Radi’s sister Lillian, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Mate, the son and daughterin-law of Rose and John Schybai, John J. Szabó, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bokor, Jr., the son and daughter-inlaw of Joe and Irene Exner. Both of Irene’s children are now married. Congratulations to John Demeter who took a new certificate with Verhovay, or should we say William Penn?, also to Eugene Boka Jr. who took a new certificate, and, last but not least, the new born daughter of Dan and Rose Igyarto, Iris Irene. On Friday the 19th of November the entire league had turkey night. There were eight turkeys won by various individuals, who were most fortunate to be bowling well that night. There was one turkey for every pair of alleys, and the individuals who bowled the most pins over average were the lucky ones. I heard that the former Irene Simon was in town with her husband, but I did not have the pleasure of seeing her. Also, a little bird tells that the son of Charlie (the Contractor) Stuparits, Willie, is going to “dood” it pretty soon. Lots of luck to Betty and Willie. Time — 5:49 P.M. Two pinboys arrive in wheel chairs. Reason — Pete Cherepko. Time — 6:15 P.M. Loud crash. Three foot hole near foul line. Reason — Ethel Halas. Time — 6:20 P.M. Two gutters worn out. Reason — Jim Day. Time — 7:00 P.M. Thfee pinboys rushed to hospital. Reason — Who cares. Time — 7:15 P.M. Bill Brindza embarks to rest home. Reason — He owns the place. Time — 8:00 P.M. Another quiet relaxing evening of bowling comes to a close. So do the alleys (for repairs!). In spite of it all, we have a merry time and much fun. In closing, I should like to leave this thought with) you: It is far better to have insurance and not need it, than to need it and not have it, and to have William Penn (Verhovay) is to have the best. My sinterest wishes for the best of everything te you all for the coming yuletide. I hope you, all had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. Your new reporter was entrusted with these duties on the evening of November 12th at the regular monthly meeting of Branch 76. We are proud of the merging of the Verhovay and Rákóczi societies, to be known as of January first as the WILLIAM PENN FRATERNAL ASSOCIATION. The following Verhovay members were elected to contact the Philadelphia branch of the Rákóczi Association to work out, whatever details are necessary to bring about the complete merger: Anthony Noel, Stephen Szemes, Dan Rosenfeld, Carman Mudry, Gustav Sima and Stephen Pincehelyi. Theirs is a big job but a pleasant one. As is their annual custom, the officers and active members of A half century of existence was recently commemorated by Branch 13 of Trenton, New Jersey. The Eastern branch celebrated its milestone with appropriate festivities held Sunday, October 30, 1955, at 6:00 P.M., in the Trenton Magyar Home. The order of the program follows: Frank Radvany, popular president of Branch 13, also president of the Trenton Magyar Home, made the opening address. Recalling to mind the initial sacrifices of the charter members, now all deceased, Mr. Radvany, who left a fine record of skillfully conducting the 1955 Verhovay Convention as its chairman, impressed his listeners. The audience then stood in silent reverence in memory of the founders of Branch 13. As the dinner began, the Rev. Julius A. Kiss, Catholic Pastor, said the prayers of thanksgiving for the bountiful blessings on the table. During the banquet Attorney William Reich, toastmaster of the evening, added to the enjoyment of the affair by his amusing wit. This was followed by the introduction of Director Albert Ibos, New York City, who spoke in the name of the Association. He addressed his words in Hungarian and in English. High light of the speeches was the address of the Rev. Zoltán Beky, Branch 76 held a party on December 10th, following the monthly meeting at which election of officers was held. The names will appear in the January write-up. John Pinter was in full charge of the event, with Dan Rosenfeld, Géza Benes, Stephen Pincehelyi and many others assisting. About 50 people were in attendance, and the Hungarian food and refreshments were excellent. At this time we wish to take time out to thank the officers and co-workers of the main office in Pittsburgh, Pa. for their fine assistance during the past year and to wish them and all members of Branch 76 a really Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous 1956. Fraternally, L. LOUIS HORVATH 8 N. 21st St. Philadelphia 3, Pa. Archdean of the Reformed Church, who stressed the character of the immigrant Hungarians and their cultural contributions to America, how with determination they organized large Hungarian fraternal and social bodies in our country, thus adding immeasurably to the culture of The United States. Next speaker was Louis Revesz, recently appointed district manager of the Trenton area. As manager of Branch 13, Mr. Revesz enthusiastically promised to work loyally and well for the branch and the association. The two grandchildren of Alexander Virok, vice president of Branch 13, came forward with a dance and song specialty. Rita and Kathleen were liberally applauded by an appreciative audience. The event’s speeches were closed with the final address by vice president Virok. Much credit for the successful observance of the 50th anniversary of Branch 13 is due the sincere and united efforts of the volunteer branch workers, among them Mrs. Frank Radvany, wife of the branch president, who labored tirelessly to help assure the success of the commemoration, and whose four sons with their wives attended. Our congratulations to Branch 13 on its first 50 years, and may there be many more! REINSTATED FROM LAPSED — SEPTEMBER, 1955 13 Kubanovich Steph.
