HORVATH — Cleveland, Ohio “God grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, courage to change things I can, and wisdom to know the differ­ence” . . . Anon. PROFUSE APOLOGY There comes a time in the life of every writer, whether professional or amateur, good or bad, when the cre­ative instinct lapses into dull-witted nothingness. Such a time has now come to your Ferret. Despite the many William Penn summer events in the Detroit area to report on. lack of time and creative inability leaves me at a loss of words. Hence, with your permission, let me write up the full details of the Br. 500-V Wheat Harvest Festival Picnic in the Sep­tember issue. Other matters also re­quire urgent publicizing but will be Branch 500-V of Detroit, Michigan arranged a splendid harvest festival on July 7, 1957, irr Handler’s Park at Trenton, Michigan. Its success has been rarely paralleled in the past. The motorcars arrived from the early hours of the morning to late afternoon. Everyone had a pleasant time with all kinds of amusement features, while awaiting the great parade which began at 5:00 P.M. It was the William Penn children’s group of Detroit which made up the vanguard of the parade with Stephen DANKO, Jrl at the head, carrying the banner of Branch 500-V, with Ida MADARÁSZ at his side in gorgeous Hungarian attire. Darlene DANKO, Claudia WRETECHA and four little girls carried the small bell. Diana PESTI and Carole POCHIK carried the huge wheat wreath assisted by Nina PESTI, Jeanette GASPAR, Jessica SOMERGARY, Valerie' KOR­­PONAI, Charlotte MOUSER and Sherry KORPONAI, all wore Hun­garian desses and carried small sheaves. Mrs. MATUSKA, Mrs. RE­­PASI acted as gleaners, while Gus­tave . SCHWARZKOPF and George BARDOCZ acted as reapers. The parade finished with the hand of Joseph SZEGEDI in the rear, playing popular Hungarian melodies. The parade gave the impression of a genuine harvest festival in the old country. The photographers lined up along the street, and took a great number of excellent pictures. As soon as the parade reached the heavily loaded tables, where JULIUS MACKER, Vice President, acted as host, Gustave SCHWARZKOPF brought to your attention in ühe next issue. Besides lack of creative ability, a Whole new life has opened up for us. Luke has gone into business for him­self after too many years of working for “the other fellow”, and this has also consumed much of our time, energy and immediate thoughts. So be patient, like good readers of this column, and watch for lots of news in September. Hope all of you are having as much fun living in the great outdoors as we are . . . river adventures, gar­dening, a new way of fishing, and just plain relaxing with good friends. Your old FERRET 12996 Rosedale Wyandotte, Michigan AVenue 5-0106 passed the wheat on behalf of the reapers to Vice President MACKER who expressed his thanks. Mr. MAC­KER gave presents to the young, — for which sincere thanks from the Branch, — then he gave the right of speech to Rev. JULIUS ASBOTH, Lutheran clergyman, who blessed the wheat wreath placed on the table and the bread and wine with touching words, — indeed there were many who listened and had tears in their eyes, because the program re­called to their minds the many old customs of Hungary which are slowly becoming extinct not only in this country but also in the land of their birth. The Festival Committee of Branch 500-V expresses its sincere thanks to all those who assisted in promoting the success of the picnic either by their hard work or through their generous donations. Branch 500-V is grateful to all those who participated in the festival and made it such a magnificent success. Sharpsville Pa. School Board, at its last meeting, named STEVE GER­­GLEY as head basketball coach, to fill the position previously held by Robert Johnston. The new coach is expected to work up an athletic program which will in­clude intra-mural sports such as tennis, wrestling, soccer and others. They will have their own training program and will be expected to The lot on E. 126th and Buckeye was sold by Steven A. JAKAB to Louis SOBONYA, the furniture man, who is going to build an appliance store on the property. We heard through the underground that the large building about eight stories high might be erected between E. 116th and 117th right on Buckeye. Joseph SZALMA, master barber is also in the bird business. August A. BESSENYEY bought a new home, an English brick Colonial at 3219 W. 162nd Street. Mrs. Mary BODNAR must live on the East Side again, we saw her, getting off the Rapid Tran­sit at E. 116th St. Szabolcs BALOGH was held up again in his grocery store, this time he lost a couple of hundred bucks. We heard through the grape vine tfhat Vilmos URBAN and Julius CINCSAR are officers of Br. 14-V. Joseph SZALAY, former Presi­dent of the Verhovay and Br. 14-V, had his house done over with alumi­num sidings. He claims that he was tired of painting. Frank O’RAVIS, Buckeye Window Cleaning Co. mogul treated his family to a vacation. A lot of windows remained dirty for about two weeks. We were at the picnic of the First Hungarian Reformed Church, a nice get-together of about six or seven hundred people. Many notables were present. It looks like our Mayor of Cleve­land, Mr. Anthony J. CELEBREZZE, and Br. 14-V member will be a sure winner this fall. The annual grape festival given by Br. 14-V will be held Sunday, October 18th. If you are planning- to have a child dance at the" festival, contact, speak, or write to Mr. Joseph KO­VACH, Mgr. of the Home and Mr. John WIELAND, Manager of Br. 14- V. They will bring you up to date as to when p^ctice begins, etc. In­sist on the children that they should dance, when they get older they will be glad that they learned. Anyway, that is their heritage. After Mr. Louis VÁROSI takes handle their own discipline problems. GERGLEY, one of Sharpsville High School’s all-time basketball greats, played one year of football and four­­years of basketball at Youngstown University where he won top scoring honors in his junior and senior years. In his junior year with the Penguins, he was named to the Tri-State basketball team and also received honorable mention on the United Press All-Ohio team.

Mr. GERGLEY has been a member of Branch 26-V, Sharon, Pa. since 1937. We congratulate Mr. GER­GLEY on his new appointment. JL JOIN and SERVE Ü ...answer the calll his vacation, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy GALL will go to Florida to look around. We were to the picnic of Wm. Penn Br. 14-V. Nice grounds, beautiful day, all the big shots were there. President Nick JUHASZ had his whole family working. Mr. Oscar FEDERAU was elected president of the St. John’s Sports Club. He is also president of the Wm. Penn Sports Club. Looks like he is collecting titles. The American Legion No. 559 pic­nic was well attended. This post is considered the Hungarian post of the Legion. Wm. RUSCSAK bailiff of Judge Albert Woldman Juvenile Court, did an excellent job of an­nouncing. We saw The Ten Commandments, the motion picture, very good. We would like to see our Cuyaho­ga County Engineer run for Gover­nor next year. Bert PORTER is a man of decision, of action, honest and intelligent. Kalman KARNAY was twenty-one again on July 28th. The clan gather­ed at Settlers Tavern doing what was needed to be done, a dinner in his honor. We are wondering who footed th^ bill. The annual picnic of the Cleve­land Hungarian Men’s and Ladies Society at Kalo’s Farm in Cleveland, was a fine success. Good orchestra, the usual appetizers, refreshments, and above all good weather. We like the way the First Hun­garian Reformed Church displays the American and Hungarian flags on national holidays. Congratulations. A nice dinner and entertainment will take place on October 27th of this year, at the St. John’s Ballroom, in honor of two fine jurists Judges Joseph STEARNS and Louis PET­­RASH. Jack P. Russell candidate for Council, 16th ward, Cleveland, will be the promoter and master of ceremo­nies. The two judges are seeking re­­election in different fields so that anybody who may vote can vote for both of them. Judge August PRYTEL who is a friend of Hungarians will also play a leading part in the pro­gram. We congratulate the owners of the Rice Restaurant, for adding a new remodeled eatery to upper Buckeye, about 126th and Buckeye. I would like to remind our readers to keep up the good work already going on, and that is, keep sending those postal cards to your Congress­man and Senators in Washington, D. C. with reference to cutting the budget and giving us some relief on our income tax. Keep it up, will you? We are sorry to report that bailiff William RUSCSAK lost the sand­wich-eating championship to a light­weight, by one cheese sandwich. Bill’s weight is around 260 lbs., the opponent 160 lbs. The KARNAY’S are moving from the Bus. and Tradesmen, they bought a saloon on E. 93rd and Cumberland. Their relations and friends are many and with that background the suc­cess of the venture is assured. Our apologies to our editors for the misinterpretation of the bowling list. Ex animo Joseph J.
