SECTION TWO ENGLISH EDITION XXIII, VOLUME FEBRUARY 29, 1940. NO. & Large Auditorium Offered Free of Charge to the Hungarian Youth The Hungarian-American youth of New York City and its environs were for a long time unable to effect any solidarity in their interests and social activities, due to the economic reverses which have stalemated many a worth endeavor. For these reasons it was necessary of­­tener than not to limit their activities. Even if some of the expenses in connection with their social activities could be met, there was the additional difficulty of not having a suitable hall for these purposes. The Hungarian Reference Library of New York City was petitioned to make available its 70x30 auditorium rent free for the cultural aspira­tions of these youth. Deeply appreciative of this exhibition of good faith and sincerity, the Library de­cided that when its audito­rium was not in use its doors would be open free of charge to the Hungarian- American youth. Of course, there were ne­cessarily some restrictions attached in the use of the hall. For instance, any gathering of a political na­ture is not permitted. But programs of plays, concerts, moving pictures, exhibitions, etc. are at all times welcome. No doubt the Hungarian- American youth of New York and vicinity deeply appreciates , this good will offer of the Hungarian Re­ference Library. The Hungarian Reference Library is located on 19 W. 44th St., New York City. It is doing an excellent job of acquainting our American compatriots with a true value of the historical, poli­tical, cultural and moral contributions of the Magyar race, and is also serving as the contact point for the dis­semination of programs of Americanization, informa­tion, its library of the world’s literary gems, etc. to our Hungarians here in America. Late Senator Borah Honored by Hungarians The late William Edgar Borah, Senator from Idaho, received in death the deep respects and profound grati­tude of the Hungarian people. On the casket of the Senator was placed a red-white­­green ribboned wreath from The American Hungarian Federation. Its simple inscription was: “Ever in Our Hearts!" And not forgetting the sorrow of the widow of Senator Borah, The American Hungarian Federation sent her the following telegram in the name of all Hungarian churches, societies, and individuals: “Please accept the deepest sympathy of The American Hungarian Federation. In the untimely death of your illustrious husband not only Hungary, but we Americans of Hungarian extraction too, have lost a true friend of the Magyars and the champion of human rights. The Hungarians shall never forget Senator Borah.” “Ever in Our Hearts" will be the noble Senator Borah, for he knew that the Hungarians were a wronged people and he sought to revise that miscarriage of justice called the Treaty of Trianon. Hungarians shall never forget the eternal debt of gratitude they owe the late Senator Borah, There was a man! Verhovay Overseas Club OBITUARY: JULIUS PERDUK—1940 The Verhovay Overseas Club this month pays tri­bute to one of last year’s winners of The Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Associa­tion’s Trip to Europe Con­test. Little did we realize at the time that one of our fellow contestants and win­ners was soon to leave this earthly abode. JULIUS PERDUK of New Brunswick, New Jersey pass­ed away on January 26, 1940. During our last days in Hungary and our return home it was already notice­able that Mr. Perduk was a sick man. Mr. Perduk had visited the place of his birth and the home of his father in the village of Galocs, County of Ung. The laughter and sociable­ness of Mr. Perduk will al­ways be remembered by us. Mr. Perduk was a hard worker, having secured 100 members in a period of 5 months. He was a willing worker of Branch 52 of New Brunswick and was a mem­ber of the Verhovay Associa­tion for 25 years. The funeral took place on January 28th and was at­tended by his numerous friends and relatives. ZOLTÁN VARKOLY—1940 On the evening of Feb­ruary 8th ZOLTÁN VÁR­­KOLY passed away in his home. At his bedside was his loving wife who for 39 years had been his constant and only companion. (They had no children.) The Verhovay excursion­ists of 1938 will remember Mr. Várkoly and his devoted wife who made the trip with the winning group of that year. Mr. Várkoly continued to cherish the memories of the trip to Hungary until the very day of his death. He was a member of Branch 226 almost from the begin­ning of the organization of that branch. While in Hungary Mr. Vár­koly visited the place of his birth, Forróencs, County of Abauj-Torna. He became re­united with his brothers whom he had not seen in 37 years. He also visited in Budapest at the home of Mr. Frank Németh, brother of Mrs. Várkoly, Mr. Várkoly was Honorary President of the Magyar Tár­sas Kör in McKeesport; Pa. and was well liked by all who knew him. He was very active in all Hungarian af­fairs and was indeed a shin­ing credit to the race he re­presented. Many friends attended the funeral on February 11th at St. Stephen King Roman Catholic Church, McKees­port, Pa. * * * VERHOVAY PERSONALITIES: The wedding of Kálmán Érdeky, Jr., Contest winner of 1938 took place on Sun­day, February 4th at St. Elias Greek Catholic Church in Homestead, Pa.
