November 25, 1937 PAGE 3 VerhovayJourno!: My Trip To Hungary SNOOPIN IN THE SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS Michael Nagy was giving Margaret Capse the big rush. Better watch out Marge. I did not see Helen Biro at the dance. What’s wrong Helen? Don’t you like our Hungarian boys? Say, Frank Kohari, what were you doing in Welch on October 24th? It wasn’t a certain school teacher, was it? What was wrong with you Julius Dudás, that you did not dance. Did she turn you down? Saw Carlin Miller with a girl. Who is she Carl? Are you still a member? Sue Kohari came back from Trenton, N.J. Sue, are you still a member? Hope so. Saw Katherine Kovach from Pocahontas, \a. What’s wrong Kate? Did­n’t our boys dance with you? Boy, oh boy! What a dance. Saw Frank Kohari. I think that Frankie did not start until after twelve o’clock. Boy, but he sure can go. Saw Julius Dudás, Secre­tary of Branch 431, at the dance. Yours truly will be visit­ing friends in Akron and Cleveland, Ohio. I shall drop in on Branch 366 while I am there. Attention, Joseph J. Hor­vath. The Pocahontas Ver­hovay Orchestra can play as good as they look. Here’s hoping that McKeesport’s “Mardi Gras” dance turned out swell. Also here’s hoping that the dance of Cleveland, Ohio Branch 366 turned out swell, that is, the “Fall Frolic.” Listen to this, Joseph J. Horvath. Frank Kohari of Caretta, W. Va., Branch 426, is organizing an “all girl Verhovay Hungarian gypsy orchestra. How would you like to hear the southern girls play? Well, well, well! We have another fine columnist “Jay Gee.” Keep up the good work, Jay 1 Thanks to Miss Snooper for welcoming me to your ranks. I don’t think any­one else saw my column, but you. “Flash”, and shall be back with more flash. “The Phantom” Caretta, W. Va. Box 147 Branch 426 HOW DO YOU KNOW? Your death may be SUDDEN, SOON, & ACCIDENTAL (Cont’d from last month’s issue) We walked all the way through the cellar, they be­ing approximately a mile long. These cellars are filled with the best wines and in what barrels, almost as large as a four room house. After going through the cellars, we were taken to an open air pavillion, where gypsy music greeted us as we sat around a very large table. Here they served us sand­wiches and wine but all we cared for was that real good wine. How about that, Mr. Buzogány? It was impossible to re­sist that kind of wine. So our best bet was to help our­selves while we had the wine near us. Everyone was very Jtappy, singing and dancing to gypsy music that is simply grand. It surely was fun. But it was getting late so we had better go eat, said Mr. Bencze, so we left the wine cellars with sorrow but very happy. We walk­ed down to the “Kutya Vil­la” Csarda. Here we or­dered our meals and some more wine. . On the banks of the “Blue Danube.” Why, it’s almost too good to be true. But after a grand time this evening, we had to , leave, as the electric train runs only until midnight and this is the only way we could return to Budapest to our hotel/ The very next day we boarded a train and on this we rolled way down to the southern part of Hungary to Pécs, another city which our group missed last year. Folks, Fm sorry you all could not be with us this year, you really missed a lot. As we arrived in Pécs, we were welcomed by the City Officials at the railroad sta­tion. From here we were taken to our hotel, where immediately lunch was serv­ed. As soon as lunch was over, we were taken on a sight-seeing tour through part of Pécs. As it was soon evening, we climbed into a bus which was driven up a winding hill and, oh! what a hill! But there was a surprise when we reached the top. Here a beautiful building, nothing more than a very neat night club. Flere Pécs served us with a wonderfully festive dinner After a grand time, as we were just ready to leave, they presented all of us with the kev to the city, which we were all glad to receive. A very prized souvenir. Now we had to go to our hotel in By: STEPHEN SZABÓ Secretary—Branch 396 Jacobs Creek, Pa. order to get some sleep, this being the only thing which we got very little of. The next morning we all met in the lobby of our hotel. The group again went on a sight-seeing tour but at this juncture Stephen Lang and 1 decided to give the group the slip and go on our own private tour. We went and did a little shopping. Say, Steve, what did your girl friend say? I’ll she was glad tc get such a present. After walking around the city, Steve and I finally caught up with the group, just in time for lunch. We certainly did not want to miss any of that good food, so-we thought we had better eat. But as lunch was over, we had to go to our hotel, pack our bags and catch the next train back to Budapest, this being the last train for that city on that day. We had to bid all of Pécs “good­bye” but we promised that some day we should come back again. It was about 9 o’clock that night when we reached Bu­dapest. Some of our group went to rest while others went to the Hungarian “Os­tend” or some other cafe, to spend some of the night. The next morning our group met at the railroad station. This time we were bound eastwards, towards Debre­cen on the Hortobágy. We reached the city of Debre­cen just about noon. Here also, we were met by the city officials. I was again rushed by many of my friends whom I met there !ast year. My friends said 1 was very lucky to have won again in the second contest. T told them I had a very a­­~ute desire and longing to return to Hungary and for that reason worked with might and main to secure new members so that I could be among the winners and thereby realize my dream. And now here I am and that’s all that matters. Here we were taken to our hotel where lunch was serv­ed. After lunch our group again went on a sight-seeing tour. Some of us went bath­ing in those hot springs and gee, is that swell water to swim in. What do you say, Mary Blasius? That night some of us went to the “Angol Király” night club, where we stayed until midnight. Then four of us boys went home to our hotel. It was one o’clock that night when we dressed again and went back to the “Angol Király” and this time we really had some fun. The next day we all climbed into a huge bus and on to the great Hungarian plains, we rolled to the Hor­tobágy. Here on the plains, we had plenty of fun, also. A small rodeo show was ar­ranged by the “csikós’s” (cowboys) and it was most certainly thrilling to watch them. And then for our own experience, we went horse back riding. After rid­ing the horses, some began dancing, others amused themselves in other ways. By now it was just about time to leave for Debrecen in order to catch our train back to Budapest. One of the girls in the group kind of became lost so we looked around for her. Somehow', she came back feeling so great that she got hold of a donkey and began riding, it, so we had to wait until she had had her fun trying to make the donkey go. But here again, as at other places which we had visited, another sw’ell time had to come to an end. We had to bid our friends in Debre­cen and Hortobágy a reluc­tant good-bye. They were extremely sorry that w'e had to leave, but so it goes, all good things must come to an end. We arrived in Budapest again just in time to get a few hours sleep and start the next day off right, by begin­ning what I may call the last excursion trip out of Buda­pest. But what an excur­sion this was. I should like to tell you about some of the night spots but it is impos­sible to tell all. It was in the morning that we again gathered at the railroad station, everyone carrying a small amount of luggage because this trip was to last for a week at least. (Cont’d in next month’s issue) BRANCH 366 CLEVELAND, OHIO Minutes of the Branch meet­ing held November 1, 1937.
