January 9, 1941 Page S was in charge of the bar. His assistants were Stephen Papp and John Stamplar. Mr. Joseph Szenassy, Presi­dent, entertained the people by his contribution of many Magyar folk songs and csar­­dases, sung with the real Magyar tempo and fire!

The newly elected Officers and Committee take this opportunity to wish their fellow members a very happy and prosperous New Year. CHRISTMAS PARTY The fourth annual Christ­mas Party for Junior mem­bers of Branch 96 was held Verhovayak Lapja was in attendance. The ad­mission was free, and the charge for the Disznótoros Supper was only 25c, the proceeds going to the branch. Even though such celebrations are for only the members and their families, many friends also attended. There were of­ficials of the Magyar Chapter of the Woodmen of the World, Rákóczi Aid Associa­tion of Bridgeport, and others. There were no complaints —save one. Many insisted that the celebration, so grand as this one, should be held on a Saturday so as to give them time enough to dance to their hearts content. Even though the affair was held on Sunday, the majority of the people remained until after 2 a. m. Monday morning. It isn’t so easy to leave such a gala evening! We want to thank all those who contributed in any way to make this party a success, for Branch 503 is truly appreciative of their efforts for our Verhovay or­ganization. Fraternally, Helen Csontos, Publicity Director. Chicago, HI. Sunday afternoon, December 22nd, at Prokop’s Hall. The large attendance of children as well as parents and grand­parents was very gratifying to the Committee in charge. In order to instill properly the festive spirit, Alex Foris, Master of Ceremonies, open­ed the program by request­ing the audience to sing “Jingle Bells,” accompanied at the piano by Miss Dorothy Cook, a talented Senior­­member of Branch 96, who on several occasions donat­ed her services, for which the Officers and Committee are very grateful. After the singing, the Master of Cere­monies called on Mr. John Salancy, President of Branch 96, also one of the directors of our organization, to make a few remarks. After ex­tending his greetings, he wished everyone present a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. The first number on the program was an accordion solo by Lorraine McIntyre, one of our Junior members, followed by Stephen Schus­ter, Jr., also a Junior mem­ber, who sang “God Bless America” and “Ferry Boat Serenade,” accompanied at the piano by Miss Cook. After these two numbers, the audience sang “Silent Night, Holy Night.” Through the splendid co­operation of Mr. William Torok, who secured movies for the Christmas Party, sound motion pictures were shown. First reel was Sports News, introducing Jack Frost as Master of Cere­monies. Skiing, skating, tobogganing and many other winter sports were shown, which were of in­terest to the older children, followed by two reels of “Silly Symphonies,” much to the amusement of young and old alike. Santa Claus himself, coming down the chimney with his pack, ap­peared on the screen in the next reel, thrilling the younger children, followed by the final reel showing “Fred Waring and his Penn­sylvanians” presenting “Pleasure Time.” After the movies, Lorraine McIntyre played another accordion solo. Three year old Arthur Krumrei, Jr., amused the audience with his recitation of “Sing a Song of Sixpence,” follow­ed by Stephen Schuster, Jr., who rendered another one of his songs, accompanied at the piano by Miss Cook The Master of Ceremonies closed the program by ask­ing the children to sing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Sure enough, the jovial old fellow, very cap­ably impersonated by our new Juvenile Branch Man­ager, Stephen Uhlean, en­tered the hall carrying an enormous pack, much to the hilarious delight of the children. Santa was seated beside the Christmas tree and presented each child with candy and other de­licacies, thus terminating another one of our annual Christmas Parties. * * * Branch 96 welcomes the following new Senior mem­bers: Mr. Andrew Ondo and Louis Incze; also James Messer, Junior member, and Patricia Ann Prokop, brand­­new granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Prokop, Sr. Incidentally, Patricia Ann was born on the day of our Christmas Party. We wish her and her parents and grandparents the best of luck and happiness. * * * Our first regular meeting of 1941 will be held Friday, January 10th, beginning at 7:30 p. m., in Prokop’s Hall, 924 West 119th Street. Mat­ters of interest to every member will be brought up and discussed. We urge each and every one of you to at­tend this meeting. Fraternally, John Salancy, President Mrs. Louis Sabo, Sec’y and Publicity Agent. Thumbnail Sketch of the Northwest By Andrew C. Simcho Branch 430, Homestead, Pa. “East is Eajst, West is West.” The rest of the quota­tion is familiar to the aver­age American, so we shall dispense with it. But where does East begin and West end? That is a question that can not be answered easily. A native of Nebraska, I am an Easterner to people of Wyoming, a Westerner to those living in Pennsyl­vania, a Southerner to North Dakotans, and a Northerner to people of Louisiana. But, no matter where I am, I am an American, and to me there are no places that sur­pass our own in scenery, awe-inspiring grandeur, sim­plicity, vastness, compact­ness, and downright hospi­tality. It used to be a sign of culture to mention Riviera, Monte Carlo and Pago Pago in one breath. But, introduce me to the man who has seen Yellowstone National Park, has watched the untamed Snake River roar down the mountains, and a man who has ski burns from Idaho, and I will be shaking hands with a man who knows, loves and respects the name of America. Start with me on an imaginary trip from the geographical center of the United States and we shall visit places that you read and dare dream about only. Places you haven’t even imagined exist in America. From Omaha, Nebraska, we shall swing through the northwest quarter of the United States—Iowa, the state of tall corn and good highways; South and North Dakota, the wheat basket of the world and a scene of gigantic man-made sculp­ture; Montana, the land of ores, the tallest chimney and most tortuous roads in the world; Idaho, where the Snake River cuts a tortuous, path in its mad race toward the ocean, where carelessly flung mountains seem ready to topple over on one an­other and the pine trees and the clouds play leap frog, where, too, is located the largest stand of white pine in the world; Washington, the apple basket of the Union; Oregon, land of the pioneers, home of the pic­turesque rodeo and movie settings; Utah, a summary of this state would be im­possible; finally, Wyoming, here is the paragon of all that is American. So, no matter what state you travel, how you get there, you will learn that “be it ever so grand, so simple, and loveable, it is-« OUR AMERICA.” (To Be Continued)--------------O-------------­BRANCH 367 NOTICE Cleveland, Ohio A special meeting will be held on Monday, January 13, 1941, at 8:00 p. m., in Con­cord Hall, 4153 Lorain Avenue.
