1937-12-30 / 53. szám

PACE 14 December 30, 1937. (Cont’d from pi-eceeding page) and 1 hope we didn’t "fizzle” our opportunity. We had plenty of action, but whe­ther there was any result, I don't know. There was so much going on, that sugges­tions came from all direc­tions, so much in tact, that of the members claimed that their suggestions were pi­geon-holed. Their claims were justified. This was not done on purpose, but was the result of poor management. No one person was to blame. I think this matter will be straightened out at the next meeting when there will be parliamentary proceedings. We will have more facts and figures, and then we ívül he able to act. To have so many suggestions, it was im­­poss ble to act on them be­cause they were too general. Now that we know what were brought up, we can in the meantime, do a little investigating to find out their workability. Then we can act definitely. We should do th's at all meetings so we can act at the following meeting. This way, the same old thing will not drag on for so many months. I think the thing that got us was that we didn’t have a regular meeting for so long, that we forgot how to con­duct. one properly. Among the many sugges­tions were to organize vari­ous clubs to*which the mem­bers would have a choice, since our organization is un­like a Medical or Engineer­ing Society where interests usually follow • along the same line. There should be all kinds of ball clubs, bowl­ing teams, hiking club, cam­era club, etc. There should be activit es more often and be more varied, having dan­ces, parties, outings, trips, etc. We should try to make our meetings interesting and worth while. I hope my en­thusiasm and cptimizm isn’t running away with me, al­together. We have a little start. Not so long ago we had that Ijalloween Party. Lately we had that Roller Skating Party which was quite interesting. 1 he suc­cess of any organization de­pends upon its planning of its activities, and having some set program. Thank you I.S. The next meeting should be a little more interesting, I hope. And C.M. thought so much of her suggestion that she made quite a nice contribu­tion to the Red Cross. Read the Editor’s article on Soviet Russia. Whether we are in agreement with the social and economic system of Russia, or not, it must he conceded that they have made great progress, at least materially. There was C.M., and I.S. There is a B. S., hut that will take a little longer yet. There is a J.S., .the former President of 356. Say J.S., how about taking time out for a while, from the social and economic problems con­fronting us, to drop in? You know' in our usual con­fabs we tried to cure these problems with our theories, hut it is rather hard to con­vince these financial moguls. To the folks in Toiedo, who followed the exploits of “Anvil” Andy Farkas on the gridiron this season, I want to say that c'ure was a ball player, and he would have maue All-American honors had it not been for injuries. Well, I finally “broke the ice” at the last meeting when I spoke up to address the members for the first time. I think from now on, after that little splurge, if I have anything to say, I’ll follow' J.L.’s advice and say, “Read it in the Journal.” J.L., and I don’t mean Hudson, was present at the meeting after an absence. Hope your shift at “Hank’s” place won’t conflict again. A good one from Horace Heidt’s program. “A batche­­lor is a person who never made the same mistake once." Those that no long­er have this title verify an economic theory advanced not so long ago. Two can live as cheap as one, if, one doesn’t eat. Not that it makes any difference, but it is a good thing to know th:s. “Prosperty is just around the corner,” the good old standby. I’ve even looked around the alleys. Those of us that have money in­vested in business didn't lose our shirts (yet), but we don’t have any new ones neither. However, business must he pretty good for some of the members tho, a few of them having purchased new chariots. One of them is so w ell equipped, having all kinds of modern contrap­tions, that all he would need is a stove and he’d be able to go in for light housekeep­ing. It can pass anything on the road except a gas sta­tion. I heard favorable reaction from the other Verhovay branches concerning that idea of going up north to a w'ell-known wdnter resort. C.M. should have the facts on this at our next meeting. “Many hands make light work,” is the reason for the number present on the en­tertainment committee. Now that I have seen I.S., I recall her being present at meetings' before. There is one person tho, that I have-Who’s Who in Dearborn ? BRANCH 429 > I’ll start my column this month by noting those con­spicuous by their absences from the December meeting of the branch. Mrs. Samuel Toth, where were you? You are always present at annual elections — what happened this year? Mr. and Mrs. Jo­seph Horvath were also ab­sent, although their presence is usualy noted at dances, etc. The other Horvath absent w'as Nik X. Horvath, hut he was busy, as he is planning * I =VerhovayJournal= n’t seen at a meeting and that is E. C. The only time I ever saw E.C. was at the reception party given by Branch 356 for the Hungar­ian Olympic boxers. Heard that E. C. crashed in on the society column of the News recently. Congrats! I guess the only column I’ll ever make in the News will he the obituary column. understand E.C. is a contes­tant in the Verhovay Con­test for that trip to Hungary. Maybe if you would come around once in a while, we would know who this E.C. is, and we might be able to help. Anyhow, lots of luck, E.C. I see w'here my friend, now living ip Pittsburgh, who took up the Medical Course, has dropped it. He took up Surgery. I guess the oidy thing he ever cut was classes. One of the strangest base­ball deals I have heard hap­pened here in Detroit. Yes sir, Mickey Cochrane is the best manager Chicago ever had. Thank you, Mr. COLO­MON REVESZ, for your letter, we should have met when 1 was at 8440 South Street. FERRET: Your eulogy of Edward Horvath was the best little article I have read in a long time. Yes, I saw what the columnist of 366 said about us. He used the right name alright. If fu­ture meetings remain or con­tinue to be like the last one, this name won’t apply to us. A very fine nucleus w'as present, and I think we may start to function in all de­partments. Thanks very much for your encourage­ment. The next meeting will be on January 5, 1938. So un­til then, in behalf of Branch 356, I want to express to the members the best wishes for a Happy New Year. JB. on being a manager of a cir­cus act. I’ve had people wondering what the “X” stands for in this guy’s name — well, it’s Xavier —- tsk, tsk. I know Mary and Mike Batyik couldn’t make it as they live out about 30 miles in the country, but there was absolutely no excuse for Mary Szabó and her sister Stella Varady. Oh, Mary Szabó came home unexpect­edly from abroad a few weeks ago. What happened to the gift you promised me from Hungary? Stephen Schnable, our goodlooking blond, now' residing in Chica­go, of course couldn’t make it, but you must come to our very first dance, if we have one. How come you didn’t come Adolph and Louis Kulcsár, and your sis­ters Grace and Rose? Well, that should take care of that. * * * Joseph László, Jr. said he didn’t see his name often enough in the column! Well, keep you eyes peeled in the future Joe. You’ll be ask­ing for mercy, before long. By the way, Joseph is our new athletic director and sports reporter for men. He will have newrs to report re­garding the boys’ bowling. Elvira László is the sports director and sports reporter for the gals. I shouldnit w'onder if these two up-and­­coming children will put Branch 429 on the map, yia sports. Elvira wants to have a soft ball team this spring and Joe promises great things for the hoys baseball team. * * * Noted at the Opening Dance of the new Verhovay Home on Sunday, December 19: Elvira László, the Hor­vath Family, Steve Franco­­vitch, the Bores, etc. etc. This new Home is quite nice — we should have a lot of fun there this winter. The New Year’s Eve Dance should be a w'pw — how about the same old gang go­ing down again this year? Remember the fun we all had last year? It was kinda quiet until we got there and then the w'ord w'as passed around, “Branch 42 9 of Dearborn is here.” Then the fun started — the hoys of Branch 36 and some of the guys from Branch 435 of Wyandotte pulled their tables next to ours and W'e let things rip. They could­n’t get us out until they promised they’d have an­other Dance this year. * * * Welcome to the branch, you new members: Steve Francovitch, the sheik of the branch, Mrs. George Porom­­bovitch, Alexander Bercheny (we persuaded him to join our branch after he left 356) and Mr. Steve Rákosi, Sr. We have three of the Rákosi Family now — how about the rest of them? We kinda hke you. * * * Jeannette Horvath, Mrs. Yolan Horvath, Elvira Lász­ló and Jolán Lucas are on a basketball team for the Girl’s Club. The first game will be January 10. Verhovay wins again! What would other clubs and organizations do without Verhovay members? * * * Notice to Mary Rakoczy and Cecelia Herman : The Bowling Team (of which you two are a very important part) will change their dates Írom Monday nites to pos­sibly Tuesday evening, as Monday is Basketball Night. They will try to get alleys from 7 to 9 instead of from 9 to “?”. You’ll have to try to get practice in before the first of the year as the boys are after our skins. * * * I note with pleasure the column of a new writer, “Ima Stillhere” who writes the "Mystricky” Column; Some column, you got there, pal; you didn’t by any chance have any loose screws when you got through writing it? Well, Joseph Becsi of Branch 356, I see you are beginning to write about the individual members. I thought Joe Es­­tinks belonged to Branch 36? M hy didn’t you invite us to your Halloween’ Party? The mike should have been fun and I’m sure some of our members would have en­tertained you, as we are not by any means, “mike shy” or any other kind of “shy.” We don’t know the word. The Horvath Family wish to ex­press their thanks to both your Branch and the boys of Branch 36 for your sympa­thy. I notice Jos. J. Horvath is still going strong. Gee, bet you have one swell branch down there! I sure wish we coulda gone with you to Pittsburgh to see all the fun. Mebbe we’ll dope something out for next summer — you know rve got a new Enter­tainment Chair-Woman and Vice-Chair-woman — they should he pretty good at doping out ways and means of meeting you and members of your branch. * * * Steve and Yolan Horvath are leaving for a vacation to the South, in the middle of January. They are heading for New Orleans, Miami or Palm Beach — depends on how long their money will hold out. Gee, I wish I (Cont’d on next page)
