Page 6 April 10, 1941 Verhovayak Lapja CHICAGO DISTRICT MEETING AT MILWAU­KEE, WISCONSIN Following and address of welcome by Frank Jakab, President of Branch 275, John Szalanczy, President of the 55th Jubilee Com­mittee, presided over an im­portant meeting held at the Milwaukee hall, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Sunday, March 30. Plans for the publication of the Jubilee Album to be printed in commemoration of our 55th Jubilee were among the highlights of the discussion. Various names, articles of interest such as those pertaining to histories of the branches belonging to the Chicago District, and all advertisements must be in the hands of the district secretaries not later than April 30. Following this dead-line date no material will be accepted for pub­lication. Branch 130 of East Chi­cago has complied with our call for early contributions and was the first to turn in its list of names to appear in the album and likewise the ads it has solicited. We are awaiting the contribu­tions of the remaining branches. According to a report by Mr. Szalanczy a revision was made at the last Director’s Meeting in the list of prizes to be awarded the winners in the Member-ship Drive, which this year aims to achieve its goal of 1,000 members. Instead of the originally in­tended 26 prizes amounting to $1,500, there will be a total of 73 prizes amounting to $2,200. The new arange­­ment enables a larger num­ber of contestants to take advantage of the prizes which are listed as follows: ONE First prize of $300.00 in cash. ONE Second prize of $200.00 in cash. TWO Third prizes of $100,- 00 in cash. FOUR Fourth prizes of $75.00 in cash. SIX Fifth prizes of $50.00 in cash. FOURTEEN Sixth prizes of $25.00 in cash. TWENTY Seventh prizes of $15.00 in cash. TWENTY-FIVE Eighth prizes of $10.00 in cash. The increase in the num­ber of prizes was favored by both members and contes­tants, who renewed their pledge to arrive at fulfill­ment of their aim. Those branches in the Chicago District which have not as yet contacted the District secretaries in regard to the Jubilee Celebration and the current Member­ship Drive are urged to do so at once. Remember your co-operation is essential, and you don’t want to be the missing rung in the ladder which would carry us to the attainment of our goal. Immediately upon reading this article, write to Mr. Kunstadt, 3245 Lake­­wood Avenue, Chicago, Il­linois, Hungarian District Secretary; or Mrs. Louis Sabo, 11934 Lowe Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, English District Secretary. They will gladly furnish any informa­tion you may request con­cerning these two important undertakings. The Jubilee Celebratoin, you haven’t forgotten, w'ill be held Sun-, day, June 22, at Frank’s Grove, 117th and Homan Avenue. The trip to Milwaukee was an enjoyable one and will, no doubt, long remain in the memories of those who attended the meeting. Dele­gates from the Calumet dis­trict and Chicago’s South side branches .boarded the chartered bus at Burnside. Delegates from branches 164, 342 and 503 joined the group on the North side. The following branches were represented by young and old Verhovay members: 22 of Whiting; 37 of Chicago; 96 of Chicago; 130 of East Chicago; 138 of Gary; 164 of Chicago; 342 of Chicago; 371 of Gary; and 503 of Chicago. Such an enjoyable time was had enroute that the trip which comprised three hours seemed barely to be an hour in length. Community singing of Hungarian songs, new and old, led by Joseph Irocky, President of Branch 164, and Mr. John Matanyi, Committee member of Branch 96,. and humorous remarks, particularly those of Sándor Nyisztor, President of East Chicago Branch 130, contributed towards making the trip a pleasant one. True fraternalism, which has al­ways been an aim of the Verhovay Fraternal In­surance Association, was prominently evidenced among the members. Offi­cers of Branches 275, 428 and 475 of Milwaukee greet­ed the delegates, who in turn were introduced by George Toth, District ma­nager and John Szalanczy, Director. The dinner, delicious throughout, from the chick­en soup to the hot “rétes,” was served on an attractive table decorated with . little American flags, red, white and blue and red, white and green streamers, and gor­geous floral centerpieces furnished by the ladies of branch 475. Orchids to the women who prepared the de­licious meal, as well as to TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BRANCH SECRETARIES! We call your attention here to the fact that in the near future you will receive monthly report sheets dif­ferent from the ones you have been using, on which you report the monthly pre­miums paid in at your branches. Until now you had to put carbon paper between the two copies of the monthly report blanks and had to-be careful not to move the blanks out of place. The new monthly report blanks are held together by a perforated strip, and the carbon paper is inserted between them. The carbon paper can not be used in the position it is when it reaches you. It must be adjusted so that the car­bon paper should cover the “Paid” column too, other­wise this column would be left empty on the copy. The explanation for this is that the white strip run­ning between the carbon paper is where the printing machine at the Home Office contacts the paper, and would leave the paper smudgy if this were also car­bon; hence the reason the carbon paper must be ad­justed by snapping it out at the perforation and turning the perforated strip around to the right, so that “Paid” column is now covered by the carbon paper. The carbon paper can easily be removed by turn­ing the perforated strip both ways, then snapping out. After monthly report is completed, mail the original or master copy to the Home Office. Destroy the carbon paper, as this is of such quality that it can be used only once. those who so willingly served it. Without a doubt, our compliments likewise, to the young men who provided the guests with liquid refresh­ments. Before closing, in the name of the Jubilee officers and the members, I wish to take this opportunity to thank the officers and mem­bers of Branches 275, 428 and 475 of Milwaukee, for their cordial hospitality, which shall never be forgot­ten by the members who at­tended this meeting. Thank you again,and we are look­ing forward to seeing you all at our VERHOVAY DAY on Sunday, June 22. Fraternally, Mrs. LOUIS SABO District Secretary. SMOKE RINGS FROM YOUNGSTOWN Branch 364 Well, folks, believe it or rot, I suspect myself of be­ing in the throes of a severe attack of spring fever. I attribute it to the fact that I am unable to concentrate on the composition of this article. At least that is my diagnosis, for I find myself wandering off in a day­dream, and it is a pleasant dream indeed. If only I could make it materialize! That would be something. Am I a romanticist? Perhaps. But there is nothing novel about that, for “in the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love,” to say nothing about the ladies. Ho, hum. It’s a grand old world after all. If you can not make head or tail of the above para­graph, dear readers, I just want to enlighten you to the fact that it was plain cussed laziness that brought about the delay in my writ­ing this manuscript. Here I am again, emerged from the shadows for a brief moment, to give an account of the activities of Branch 364, and Mister, let me tell you we are up and doing everything in our power to hold the interest of our members, and I do hope our efforts are not in vain. Our latest triumph was a card party held on our regular meeting night. I was rmder the impression it was going to be held in St. Stephen’s Auditorium, but found out I was mis­taken, because it took place in the club rooms. I am proud to say that the at­tendance far surpassed my expectations. Even the hall­way was overflowing, as it were. Cards and bingo were the pastimes of the evening, with lovely and useful gifts awarded. Elmer Smith, Rita Naughton, Ethel Orosz, Julia Benish and Julia Snitzer were the successful card players; Isabelle Timer, Julia Miglets, Margaret Doka and Betty Bednarik at bingo. Mrs. Barkó made some de­licious tea which was re­lished by the guests, along with delectable cakes and cookies, especially Mrs. Bar­­ko’s famous “mákos kalács,” baked after a recipe she brought back with her from Hungary when she was abroad. The committee was in charge of serving and I sincerely hope that, owing to the large number present, nobody was overlooked. By the way, J here wish to make an apology for an error 1 made in my February re­port. I omitted the worthy name of Mrs. Mary Miglets from the list of the com­mittee in charge of this evening. 1 truly am sorry for this oversight which, 1 assure Mrs. Miglets, was quite unintentional. There were a great many new faces at our party. It surely would be a pleasure to see these new faces at our regular meetings. My rr.otto is: “The more, the merrier.” So come one, come all! We honestly have more fun when there is a crowd at our meetings, because it seems then everyone gets in­to the spirit of things, where­as, among only a few, self­­consciousnes seems to pre­vail. Oh yes! We have just temporarily surrendered one of our worthy members to the Draft. Frank Miglets is our No. 1 draftee. Don’t think we won’t miss him during the year he will be-serving Uncle Sam. And will we be agog to hear his yarns, tall and otherwise, about his ex­perience in the Army, upon his return to the fold, with the result that the boys un­doubtedly will be overly eager to be drafted, or will serve voluntarily, and the girls will be envious of all the fun they miss because of their sex, or will join as hostesses! Anyway, we wish Frank a year of pleasant army life, and hope he comes back a corporal or captain or something! Sh! The sandman just glided into the room and threw a handful of sand into my face, making me bleary-eyed. He is now whis­pering into my ear, warn­ing me that the hour when ghosts walk abroad is dan­gerously near. So I had bet­ter say “good night” hur­riedly before these spirits catch up with me. Do I sound like the late A. Conan Doyle? Gee! I hope not! I’ll just gradually dissolve into the shadow again until the next episode. EASTER GREETINGS! Fraternally, The SILHOUETTE, Publicity Agent.--------------O-------------­BRANCH 372 NOTICE Lorain, Ohio Branch 372 now meets on the second Thursday of each month instead of the second Tuesday, and the meetings are held at 1624 E. 30th Street.
