PAGE 4 APRIL 24, 1937 A Human Amendment Congressman James J. Lanzet­­ta from the State of New York and evidently a descendant of Italian immigrants introduced a very humane amendment to the naturalization laws of the United States. The amendment proposes that all those aliens who came to the United States prior to February 5, 1917 and who are more than 50 years old be granted citizen­­ship regardless of their lack of knowledge of the English lan­guage and their inability to pass an English examination or illit­eracy. We do not know how many per­sons richly deserving of Ameri­can citizenship the amendment would affect — we know, how­ever, of personal experience that all over the U. S. A. there are many old Hungarians who own property, who pay t axes, who brought up their American-born children in American schools and in an American way and who can't pass the citizenship exam­ination, because they were unfor­tunate in their youth in having lived in some parts of old Hun­gary which in these old days did not afford them schooling. House Resolution No. 4634 as the Lanzetta bill is designated is worthy of our support. Hun­garian organizations and espe­cially the Grand Committees would do well to commend its sup­port to their Congressman. Please bring this matter before your Grand Committee at its next meeting. At the same time we would urge all persons who would fall under the provisions of the pro­posed amendment to obtain their “first” papers in case they are not in possession of one. WHO'S WHO IN DEARBORN! The members of Branch 429 are happy to hear that Casimer Bores is suffreing no more ill effects from the accident he was in Saturday, March 27. He suf­fered from internal hemorrhages and bruises. * * Little Marie Rákosi, the young­est member of our branch will celebrate her 6 months old birth­day on April 24. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ste­phen Rakasi. * * What will happen to Zoltán Vincent now that Eddie Gall is getting married. Don’t worry Zoltán, we Dearborn girls can fix that. * * We wonder why Zigmond Fa­ragó doesn’t come to meetings... Come back Ziggie, all is forgiven. * * Branch 429 had its share of sit-down strikes also. Louis Lu­cas who works at Kelvinator did his sitting down at home while his energetic? ? and ambitious ? ? wife went out to work. * * Word to Dearborn girls — Os­car of Branch 36 wants to know if the girls go for him or his new car. Why Oscar, what do you thing we are, gold-diggers? What “Mae” did Elvira László have in mind when she told the boys at the dance her name was Mae. Perhaps Mae West will finally have some competition. * * What was the matter with Joe Gee last month? Did he run out of brains or ink? * * Joe Laszla missed his calling — so he thinks ! 1 ! What a talent going to waste. * * Mary Rakocy has been attend­ing Business College. She hopes to be the President’s private sec­retary soon. PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURISTIC By: Joseph J. Horvath Cleveland, Ohio — Branch 366 The funniest thing about writ­ing a column is how to start it. The dance committee of the January 17th affair he'd a little party. After the show we stop­ped at a gypsy night club. Gi­zella Merk went for fancy cock­tails. Margaret Sanders was en­joying herself, and listen Marga­ret, next time you preview this column, don’t tear anything out. Julia Mak didn’t like the place where sat. Paul Bolesic believes in Lady Luck now, he took one of those Pin Ball Machines over for about $15.00. Mary Fejes and her intended drank only Coca Cola al! night. You know, I couldn’t understand that at all. Yours truly wasn’t particular what he drank. John J. Balazs came in late, he told us he was bowling, but we know better, you know these females. To the six gentlemen from Pittsburgh, Pa. who visited Cleve­land some time ago. We are really sorry that nobody could be found at the hall to take care of your entertainment. Next time, we suggest that anybody visiting Cleveland ought to write the organizer, Mr. A. E. Thomas, and I am sure he will arrange a program that will meet with the approval of everybody. Which, of course, will include some of our pretty Hungarian-American girls. I wish to thank Helen E. Vest­­rocy of Branch 484, New Brigh­ton, Pa., for the card she sent me, it was the beginning that I liked best. Very few girls call me “Dear”. Was I elated! I was. Irene Kovach and her boy friend attending the Park Theatre on Sunday evening March 7, at 9 P.M. The picture showing was the Champagne Waltz. Bet she wonders how I know, well, I saw them. Joseph Szalay, Secretary of Branch 14 mopping up the floor in his barber shop. Boy oh boy, he sure can swing a wick­ed stick. Jos. Barry Sr. would rather play chess than eat. Heard that Mike Valland had an opera­tion recently. Well, he must show us his operation at the next meeting. St. Joseph’s Day was duly cele­brated by yours truly, European Fashion, you know, wine, danc­ing, singing and eating. Right down my alley. Congratulations to the new =VfrhoDayakJhpja--Branch 485 at Lebanon, Pa. and to the new officers of Branch 439 at Johnstown, Pa., also to Detroit, Mich. Branch 356. I am sure that the basketball team of Lackawanna, N. Y. de­serves the title of “Iron Men of Lackawanna”. Winning 14 games in a row is no cinch. Our Ladies Branch 361 in Cleveland collected clothing and what not for the flood sufferers and they also donated $100.00. We will have to get William Gall of Branch 366 to lecture on print­ing at our next meeting. Mrs. Matusz of Branch 14 gets on a'l committees, it seems that the branch just can’t get along without her. I wonder if they appreciate her for being such a wonderful woman. Verhovay Branch 366 donated $5.00 towards the Hungarian Culture Gardens at the last meet­ing. I wish to thank everybody at the meeting for this donation. Yours truly asked for it. Miss Betty Toth was made Miss Chairman of the entertain­ment committee. Boy oh boy she doesn’s have to call me twice to a meeting. Our Publicity Com­mittee collapsed, so I have to carry on alone. This “alone” business is not so hot. Oh Irene, why did you quit? John Bosway Jr. smashed his big toe, somebody told me he dropped a pint of ice cream on it. Saw Margaret Haller at the last meeting, after an absence of two or three meetings. Well here is my Swan song. Don’t forget to write, you know it helps, make some suggestions, let me know whether or not the column is lousy, because they don’t pull their punches in Cleve­land. Maybe I will get a brain storm some day, that’s if some­body doesn’t steal the brain I have. Adress all communications, e/o Verhovay Home 8637 Buckeye Rd. Cleveland, Ohio MINUTES Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Verhovay Fraternal In­surance Asociation held on March 15, 1937, at Pittsburgh, Pa. JUNIOR BRANCH No. 174 SCRANTON, PA. By: Donald Goffer 4 ' A meeting of the Scranton Verhovay Juniors, Branch 174 was held Sunday April 11, 1937 in St. Stephen’s Hall, the meeting place oft ^ Verhovay Senior Branch itl0n-The following are present: Joseph Darago, Supreme Presi­dent; John Korosfoy, Vice-Presi­dent; Josepr Szalay, Kalman Ne meth, Joseph Soos, Albert B. Ari, Stephen Nyers, Andrew Dobos Jr., and Bert Kun, Directors; John Bencze, Supreme Secretary; Michael J. Varga, Supreme Trea­surer and Coloman Revesz, Su­preme Auditor. 1. — In his opening speech, Supreme President Joseph Dara­go drew a parallel between the sphere of action of the Board of Directors and the significance that March 15th has for us Hun­­grains. In very colorful words, he showed that two of the three watchwords of the Rebellion of 1848, are personified by us, that is, mutual assistance and frater­nity. Simultaneously, he point­ed out that we, as champions of a world saving ideal, should not budge one iota from this same hallowed and Utopian idea!. Following this, he opened the meeting with words depicting thoughts dealing exclusively with the Society’s affairs. 2. — The Board decided to fol­low the same routine as has been the custom at previous meetings. 3. — In conformity with the above decision, Supreme Presi­dent Joseph Darago reads his re­port, which was generally accept­ed for detailed discussion. John Bencze, Supreme Secre­tary; Coloman Revesz, Supreme Auditor; Michael J. Varga, Su­preme Treasurer and Joseph Da­rago as National Organizer, read their reports also, which were generally accepted by the Board for detailed discussion. 4. — The Board decided unani­­mous’y to study every entry and point of the Annual Statement for 1936, more-so, because this is the first time that the Board of Directors of the Verhovay Fra­ternal Insurance Association has had the opportunity to examine this, directly after their comple-174. At this meeting a team was organized to play in the 4th Class Baseball League in the Scranton Municipal Association. John Nemeth, president, called the meeting to order. Those present at the meeting were: Frank Sipos, Secretary of the Jun­iors and Joseph Cibolya, Secretary of the Senior Or­der. Martin Rocz, Anthony Rocz and John “Bucky” Horvath, who was elected manager. The following players were also present: Frank Hayner, Robert Hesenper­­ger, Steve “Cookie” Nerges, Frank Egyed, Casper Evan­­kavitch, Zigmond Dorocy, Vince Meinhart and John Evankavitch. The Board changed the date of the first meeting of the year from January to March in order to avail themselves of this op­portunity. The purpose of this move was to comply with the ex­plicit directions of the By-Laws regarding this matter as well as to curb all those unfounded ru­mors that are the result of ill­­will, which infer that the comp­­trolling is becoming lax. The whole day was taken up with the examination of the An­nual Statement and the Board ex­pressed their satisfaction that this time was not wasted because by studying said statement, the Board acquainted themselves with the assets of the Association, gen­erally as well as in detail. At 5:30 o’clock the general and detailed examination of the An­nual Statement was completed and the Board decided that be­ginning at 9 o’clock of .the follow­ing day, the meeting would be continued with the examination of securities. After this decision, the Presi­­jdent closed the meeting at 5:30 o’clock. D. A. A. Minutes ---- continued taken on March 16, 1937. The same members of the Board are present. After the opening by the Su­preme President, the previous day’s minutes are read and as same were found satisfactory in every respect, by the Board, it was signed by the Directors. 5. Finishing with this, the Board examined the securities contain­ed in the vaults of the Mellon National Bank as well as the Union Trust Company. Upon examining these securities, the Board found that the securites as listed, on our bond list were al! safe and intact. 6. — The deposits and checking accounts were also examined and the Board found them to be ex­actly as shown by the Treasury’s statement as well as by various records. 7. — The amounts of the checks sent in by Branches for monthly dues, which still remain uncash­ed, were next examined by the Board and found that the one outstanding against Branch 36 of Detroit is the largest and instruct­ed the Supreme Treasurer to ca’l this matter to the attention of the Branch concerned. Similarly, the unearned check of Branch 102 was also examined by the Board and the same instructions were given the Supreme Treasurer re­garding this one also. Taking into consideration that with the return to normalcy in financial matters, the so called “frozen banks” are able to make substan­tial payments, the Board instucts the Supreme Treasurer not to overlook the collection of the amounts as “frozen assets”. 8. — Comparing the totals in I the statement shown in the Trea­sury’s report and the values as shown by the securities and other 'assets, the Board established that the financial standing of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association as represented under the seperate funds, may be di­vided as fo’lows: Mortuary Fund... $3,167,775.81 Sick Benefit Fund... 123,744.65 Tru.t Fund.......................105,092.23 Jun. Order Fund...............87,205.80 Expense Fund....................39,408.10 Total $3,523,226.59 When the totals which indicate the solid financial standing of the Verhovay Fraternal Insur­ance Association and its growth and which was noted with great satisfaction by the Board, they could not, nevertheless, refrain
