Yes, the Sport Page is definitely here to stay, and we fellows are all highly elated over this development. In our quick search through the last few issues, we discover an addition of special interest to the entire Verhovay organization. It is the Children’s Page. We must inoculate the children with the Verhovay spirit, and the best time to do this is while they are young. In this respect the Children’s Page is playing a very important part. Many kiddies follow our Children’s Page and read the poems and stories printed for their benefit. Miss Amelia Nyers, of South Bend, Ind., is to be commended on the fine work and interest devoted to the development of the Children’s Page. For stamp collectors we have that seasoned stamp collector and editor, William B. Yuhase of Richmond, Va., writing articles on stamps and stamp collecting. We can also present the “Hungarian Personages” series of Joseph Szentkirályi, all of them worth the reading. Then too we can see the series of Albert Steinmetz, of Los Angeles, California, telling us all about the beauties of California in his articles titled “Sunkist Southern California.” And there are the “Thumbnail Sketch of the Northwest” series of Andrew C. Simcho, of Branch 430, Homestead, Pa., formerly publicity agent of Branch 278, Omaha, Nebraska. (I hear that our stamp columnist, Mr. Yuhase, is so well pleased with the Steinmetz and Simcho series that he is contemplating writing his own series on the South Land.) Continuing our trip through the Journal, we note poems of good quality, book reviews of help to our readers, The Humorous Vein for a laugh or two, another good short story by Anna Kanyusik of Branch 395, McKeesport, Pa., articles on various subjects by our other members, and of course branch news, though there is still not enough of this, the most important of all. If my review of the Journal is long-winded, I trust you will accept my apologies. My aim in outlining these gains is to show you that we have had improvements in our Journal. True, they were slow in coming, but they are ours today. I also thought it appropriate to pause a .few moments on the anniversary of the Journal and look back over the year just completed. It was a rough and difficult trail, but we reached the top with flying colors. I sincerely hope that the coming year will prove bountiful for us in regards to new additions and improvements in our Journal. Returning to the meeting, after having wandered in the trials and tribulations of the past year, I would like to mention the fact that no further meeting of the Round Table will be held unless sufficient interest is shown in letters to Albert Jozik. There being no further discussion before the meeting, the group adjourned. And since there is nothing further to report, I will, with your permission, also adjourn. THE JOURNAL MUST HAVE MORE BRANCH NEWS •jf' VERHOVAY SPORTSMEN of BRANCH 164 --------------------- CHICAGO, ILLINOIS --------------------Last Saturday, February 15th, Supreme President Darago was the main speaker at the Detroit festival. He spoke for one half hour and the text of his speech was all praise for the Verhovay ladies. He spoke of the ladies as being the backbone of our Verhovay organization. I’d like to invite Mr. Darago to Chicago to speak to our lady membership here at Branch 164. it would be a great help to our branch if all the lady members, young and old, could hear his “PEP” talk. Perhaps it would instill a certain pride so that the ladies would awaken and take active part in all the doings of Chicago’s own Branch 164. * * * With the mercury in the thermometer hovering around zero, I am writing this column so that my many friends will have something to read as they sit by the lire. It is hoped that the weather Will turn by March 8th, as we hope to give the South Bend Bowlers a warm reception. The bowling will start at 6 р. m. sharp in the Monte Carlo Bowling Alleys, at Beiden and Lincoln Avenues. There is no admission fee and everyone is invited to watch the bowling matches. The games will be over about 8 o’clock, after which all the bowlers and spectators will go to the Harmony Hall at 1639 N. Artesian Avenue, for a big chicken dinner, with Suto’s Orchestra to entertain for the rest of the evening. There is a small admission fee ■of 35 cents to the dance, which, naturally, does not include the bowlers or our South Bend guests in whose honor the evening is planned. Our Senior Lady Vice-Presiс. ent, Mrs. Rak, and her staff of kitchen artists, Mrs. Kolozsi, Mrs. ßoezurik, Mrs. Feifar and Mrs. Kovach, will be on hand. The young ladies of the 164 Sportsmen will attend to the serving. So in all, everything is carefully planned and prepared co satisfy our South Bend friends in every way. It is interesting to mention Ihat the South Bend Bowlers beat the famous Detroit Verhovay team, on February 15th at Detroit. Several niembers of Branch 164 were present and made the stay in Detroit more pleasant for the South Bend Bowlers. * * * Our Valentine Dance is a thing of the past now but it will' be remembered for a long time in many ways. Financially the dance was a success. But the weather that day kept many of our friends away, and only a small crowd was on hand to enjoy the evening. Through the courtesy of Marge Irocky, we had very clever Valentine hats to adorn the heads of our fair damsels, and the effect was unique, to see the fellows “with their hearts on their sleeves” and the ladies with lovely Valentine hats. We are very sorry that so many friends had to miss this dance because of the bad weather. * * * * March 15th is the day set aside for the bowling game between the Fodor and the Molnár teams. March 15th is noted as the Hungarian equivalent of American Independence Day. These two foregoing sentences may not make sense to many of you but I feel sure the Molnár team will understand. The matches will take place at Monte Carlo Recreation Hall, and will begin at 7 p. m. After the bowling, the fans and the bowlers will adjourn to some member’s home to celebrate the victory of the winners. A prize has been donated for the victors by our senior secretary who does no^ favor the Mol - nar team (no—not much). 4= , * * MEETINGS It is very important that all members having any kind of dance or other tickets out attend a special meeting for all the Verhovay Sportsmen on February 28th, 8 p. m., at 2510 Congress St. It is hoped that the members will not let the weather or anything else prevent them from attending this meeting. * * * The bowling is going along as usual, with only six or seven weeks to go before the final scores are added up. There are all kinds of plans in the making for our summer activities, but there is nothing definite to report as the promised financial help from the Home Office has not yet arrived. * * * I’m requested by the officers of the Chicago District to announce that our big membership contest is now in progress and ihat all preparations are being made for the June 22nd open air festival at 117th and Homan Avenues. For your convenience, financially and otherwise, the management has decided to publish a souvenir book in which signatures of our friends and members will be printed for only 25 cents. Every signature will be rewarded with a free ticket for ihe festival. Your publicity agent (that’s me) has a book for the signatures and tickets on hand, and will be glad to be at your service any time, so please watch for me and DON’T SAY “NO.” „ * * * FLASH NO. 1 Congratulations to Mrs.- Hancz, the former Kathryn Sary, on the birth of her baby. In behalf of ihe branch and myself, I wish the new mama and daddy loads of happiness with their addition. '•LASH NO. 2 The wedding bells are ringing overtime. Mary Le Ban has set her wedding date to Frank Tarr for a spring day in April. May the April showers shower these two with many blessings. FLASH NO 3 Frank Kantor is still bowling with the men. He was afraid that the mid-year scores would place him on the ladies’ team. You tried your best to get with the fair sex didn’t you, Frank? FLASH NO. 4 Olga Chudek and Ernest Kunstadt, Jr. will middle-aisle it on May 10th. Don’t forget me, I want to dance at your wedding, pals. FLASH NO. 5 Instead of the usual beer frames, two of our lollypop boys have instituted a candy bar frame so that they, too, might have something to work for. FLASH NO. 6 After being classed as the leading contributor to our Journal (see the last English Edition), I am instilled with a desire to better my own writings and endeavor to keep right on getting my column in print. I want to thank those who ranked me- as the first, and it is my hope that I will be able to continue keeping Branch 164 on top. FLASH NO 7 At our Valentine Dance, three young chaps consumed about twenty hot dogs in the small space of twenty minutes. I’m undecided as to whether it was the hot dogs or the person serving them, but “thanks’ anyway, boys. FLASH NO. 8 Lost, strayed or in love, one pair of twins. We missed Hank and Moe at our dance. Come on, that wasn’t fair to stay away and leave me without a jitterbug partner. March will hold quite a few celebrations and it will also make me another year older, but you can look for my next article in the last issue of March. Just me, Margaret Stangret, Publicity Agent. 1427 S. Sawyer Avenue Chicago, Illinois. INDIGESTION may affect the Heart Gas trapped in^the stomach or gullet may act like i hair-trigger on the heart.
