Page 6 Message to Our Sports Fans Baseball managers and all those who are interested in sports please take notice: As I am a lover of sports, and the baseball season is getting near, I am very much interested in a Verhovay baseball league for the coming season. Articles and letters from others who are also interested have been appearing in our journal. I should like all those who are interested and who have written about the proposed Verhovay baseball league to write to me personally, giving all data which may help in forming this league. The next Board of Directors meeting will be held on March 11th. By that time all data should reach me so that I may be able to present the facts to the Board. The expense that would be involved in such a league is so great that your ideas and suggestions on how to meet those expenses will be appreciated. The more ideas we get together the better we can solve the problem. J. J. Horvath, Balasz of Cleveland, Julius Chaszar of Lorain and you others who have written about" the pro­posed Verhovay league please take notice of this message. Fraternally yours, FRANK BROGLEY, Director 32 Manchester Avenue Youngstown, Ohio LET TRUTH BE One hour of thoughtful solitude may nerve the heart for days of conflict —girding up its armor to meet the most insidious foe. —Percival BRANCH 503 — CHICAGO, ILL. On Saturday, January 27, Secre­tary, Frank Balogh, Sr., Chairman of the Entertainment Committee Tony Kovács, Mrs. Pesick, her daughters Sonia and Catherine, and others represented us at the Annual Dance sponsored by Br. 96 in West Pullman. According to Tony, all had a most enjoyable evening. On their way home Tony contributed greatly in showing to the occupants of his car some of Chicago’s scenery on the south side... by avoiding fire-hydrants here and telephone posts there. Since there were several ladies in the car, the men were cramped for space. Chuck Dobra, from Br. 164, ought to know. Performances were given by several members of the dancing groups. Anne Horváth, Beatrice Sztanko, Sonia Pesick and Eleanor Sztanko did several csárdás num­bers and the Rákóczi March. Ten­­year old Catherine Pesick, quite an agile danceuse for her age, performed the difficult Brahm’s Hungarian Dance No. 5 and a special arrangement of a Russian Cossack solo. * * * Absent from Branch 96’s affair were Kathryn Fury, Sylvia Hor­vath and Irene Popp, all versatile in the art of Hungarian folk­dancing. Accounted for are Sylvia and Kathryn, both who had made previous arrangements to attend on the same day the annual Supper-Dance sponsored by the Hungarian Society (Magyar Tár­saság) at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. At this formal event, attended by over 200 people, Kathryn and Sylvia were quite conspicuous in their lovely white formals. Ever-smiling Julia Kiszely, Marge Liner, Gizella Szidak, con­servative Marge Kalman, Violet Szantay and a host of other charming young ladies also at­tended. Paul Szabady, George Gö­­römbey and friends were frequently ordering “Csopaki Furmint” as well as "Egri-Bikavér” at $2.25 per bottle. They had to to keep going until 6 in the morning. * * * Frank J. Kovách, Director of the Hungarian Broadcast, has join ed our Branch, as has pleasant Margaret Miller (Molnár) and several others. We are certainly glad to have them under our Verhovay Banner. * * * Eugene Petrovits, Sr., is kept busy these days. He is obtaining new members for our branch. “Pista” Lovenyak says that he is sorry he did not join' up with the Verhovay years ago. But we are happy that he is with us. Mr. and Mrs. John Stoika have not ■ shown up at recent events. Lillian (Mrs. Stoika to you, reader!) enjoys csárdás dancing. Kathryn Fury had a correspond­ent in Budapest until recently, when he wrote that he was going to attend a university in Paris to further his studies. THE SCRIBE OF CSÁKTORNYA.-------------O------------­BRANCH 409 NOTICE All members of the base­ball club who played for the three branches from Wind­­ber and Scalp Level are to attend the meeting to be held at the 8th Street Hun­garian Hall on March 17th, at 3:30 p. m. Those who wish to try out for the team should come too. Members from Branches 33, 59 and 409 should not fail to attend. Julius Kovács, Sec’y Br. 409. ' s THUNDER OVER 36 Were man but constant, he were perfect; That, one error fills him with faults; Makes him run through sins; inconstancy fails ere it begins. *—Shakespeare. Now that the month of February is drawing to a close it brings to mind that winter is a thing of the past. March means spring is near (just three weeks away) and that is when a young man’s fancy turns to love. But enough of this for there are more serious things to write about. February 18th found five mem­bers at Rouge Park enjoying a typical Hungarian bacon fry. In our midst were Frank Sopko, Charles Papp, Frank Deak, Steven Petho and your correspondent. Not far away Oscar Petoskey, Zoly Vincent, Michael Szopo, Ernie Lada, and Zoly Baki were having a kolbász breakfast. The high­light of this affair was the im­personation of two of our better boxers in Michigan by Ernie Lada and Zoly Baki. The personality honored in this issue is Michael Szopo, who in­tends to vote for the first time in the forthcoming election. He devotes his entire spare time toward Verhovay activities and participates in the Verhovay Inter- Club League rolling as anchor man for the number 2 team ; also manages to play a wonderful game at second base on the base­ball nine. He ‘claims his greatest thrill came when playing on the high school football team when he intercepted a pass in an im­portant game, ran 75 yards only to be tackled at the three yard stripe. A modest and likeable chap who will go a long way in life with the initiative he possesses. On February 11th the boys on Verhovay’s 36 number 1 team, bowling the Yale Inn five, really bowled the game that they are capable of doing. After the smoke, had cleared away the boys found that they had broken no less than five records. The team as a whole "bowled the amazing total of 2774 pins. Julius Toth was really the main factor, rolling 643 pins, and also had a single game of. 257 pins. Now that my initial column is completed I wish to thank Frank Sopko for allowing me to write under a column that has had such notable journalists as Jay Gee and Ernie. Until the next issue which will be written by my good friend and fellow journ­alist I remain, Yours fraternally, ANDREW GALLOVICH, 7900 Burdeno Street Detroit, Michigan. P. S. Seeing that Easter will fall before my next column ap­pears, I want to wish each and every Verhovay member a most happy Easter. '-------------O------------­BRANCH 372 A meeting will be held for members only to outline the sports program of the com­ing season. The date is March 12th, 7:30 p. m. at the usual place. Verhovayak Lapja Membership Contest Well on Way February 29, 1940. A month has not yet passed since the Verhovay Fra­ternal Insurance Association announced its newest and best National Membership Contest, and before the ex­piration of this month of February there are already more than 150 entrants who are now earnestly working toward winning the 49 lucrative prizes awaiting the victorious contestants. This gratifying figure of 150 entrys in less than a month’s time is positive indication that Verhovay’s mem­bers know and can appreciate values.. Every award to be won is valuable and useful. From the first award of $1000.00 on down to the last prize of $50.00 there is a veritable cornucopia of financial and personal gains to be claimed by the Contest winners. Indeed no contestant is working for “chicken feed”, as the colloquialism puts it. Even the lowest award of $50.00 is worthy enough to bestir anyone, unless he hap­pens to be a “plutocrat.” In addition to the profitableness in each and every award, there is the further incentive of wealth of numbers in the prizes offered. The fact that 49 awards will be made gives the contestant the feeling that his chances of winning one of the prizes are pretty good. There can’t be much hope, and consequently poor response, when the awards offered suffer from a dearth of numbers, even though they be rich in values. That’s as bad as bank nights in the theaters or plaiyng the numbers games. The odds are so much against winning that hope is gone even before the start, and defeatism sets in. The Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association con­sciously circumvented these drawbacks by embodying both riches of gain and sufficient numbers of prizes, thus leav­ing no clumsy grounds on which a tardy member might try to explain his absence from the Contest. The early advantage secured by the 150 members who are already in the Contest is not enough of an excuse for you to say, “It’s too late to enter now.” It’s never too late, especially at this very early date. So members of the great Verhovay get your entry blanks now from your local branch secretaries or write direct to the Home Office. Be among the winners next year! # » » A list of those who have already entered the National Membership Contest follows alphabetically: Name Address Branch Arva, John Buday, Nicholas Balogh, Stephen Boros, Stephen Balogh, Louis Banyai, Charles Bauman, Mrs. George Balint, Andrew Beky, John Boka, Louis Balogh, Frank Bertalan, Stephen Benes, Joseph Branch 336 Branch 42 Branch 132 Branch 174 Branch 87 Branch 111 Branch 396 Csontos, Stephen Cookie, Irene Crassweller, Jeanette Czomba, Mrs. Albert Chobody, Alexander Dusincki, Helen Domonkos, Moses Emody, James Erdeky, Kalman, Jr Erdosy, John Ferdinand, Dora Furedy, Menyhért Fekete, Michael Frederick, Michael Feifart, William Farkas, Stephen Gal, Mrs. Emery Gyurka, Nicholas Gyiraszin, John Horvath, Mrs. Stephen 564 Kossuth St., Bridgeport, Conn. 68 1311 Jackson Aye., Windber, Pa. 33 28 Cooper Ave., Johnstown, Pa. 439 1514 Delaware Aye., Flint, Mich. 214 9820 Macon Ave., Cleveland, Ohio 45 174 E. 102nd St., New York City 97 534 Esther Ave., New Kensington, Pa. 296 2969 West St„ Weirton, W.
