Illinois We were surprised to see in the Chicago Daily Times of May 9th that Mrs. Maria Horvath, one of our members, was the winner in a recent Times Sewing Contest. Congratulations, Mrs. Horvath! You certainly deserved that $100 Rose-Mary pattern award. But let the article in the Times speak: “A very unusual gray wool suit and turban won the $100 TIMES bonus award foi the best entry made from a Rose-Mary Pattern for Mrs. Horvath. For three years her son wore the fine lightweight wool suit from which the material was taken to make Mrs. Horvath’s entry— Rose-Mary pattern No. 8782. The new suit was made for her daughter Sylvia, 18, who was Miss Hungary at the Chicago Auto Show in 1939. Even the buttons originally on the vest and sleeves of the man’s suit were used to decorate the front of the new jacket. The total cost to Mrs. Horvath for the suit was $1.10.” The picture of Mrs. Horvath, as published in the Times, May 9, appears here. Mrs. Horvath Recently Mrs. Vincent Varga was the proud mother of a nine pound boy. And is Mr. Varga proud! He has every reason to be. We’re looking forward to another Verhovayaji, eh, Mr. Varga! Mis. Frank • Filczer also presented her husband with a baby—a girl. Both mother and daughter are. doing fine. Congratulations to you, too, Mr. and Mrs. Filczer, as well as to Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Varga! Oh, incidentally, Mr. Filczer promised to attend th'e 55th Jubilee Celebration with his entire family. Zoltán Papp, one of our Junior members, was involved in an accident several days after he joined the Verhovay. As a result of the mishap Zoltán suffered a broken arm, but is now getting along nicely, and we hope that he will soon fully i ecover. Joseph Subsits, another member in the Juvenile Order, also suffered a fracture cf the arm in a minor accident. He made his first Holy Communion not very long ago, and we publish his picture here. Master Subsits On the third Friday in June, the 20th to be exact, we shall sponsor the Three- Monthly Birthday Party. It will take place right after a short business meeting. All members who celebrate their birthdays in the month of April, May and June should make it a point to be there —with their friends. A good time is assured all! It’s here at last! What’s here? Why June of course! June, that delightful month of the year when everyone celebrates some special occasion, be it a wedding, a graduation, or perhaps an anniversary of some sort. This year things are especially exciting, due to the Army and Draft atmosphere which seems to fill the air. June, the month when thousands of romantic young couples throughout' the world meet their loved ones at the altar, to exchange those solemn vows, promising to take each other for “better or worse.” Beautiful words (only they seem to scare a person a bit). June, the month when scores of young men and women, donned in the traditional cap and gown, eyes shining bright with excitement in their eager faces, move forward, one by one, at their commencement exercises, to receive their well earned reward for the long years ’spent in study and hard work. No doubt, many regard a diploma as a mere NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS IN 503: There still is opportunity for you to participate in the membership drive which will end during the latter part of November. Since there are 75 cash prizes, here’s your opportunity to cash in on some of that money. Will you let me know? Although the number assigned to our branch is 503, there are not quite that many members. But we CAN reach that membership if you will cooperate. It’s simple! Every member should try to bring in a new member each year, this and the next, and we shall attain that goal. Let’s show a little activity and see if we are not able to reach a membership over 500. But it’s up to every member to help us... so let’s start on this new resolution. SPECIAL NOTICE: All members who wish to attend the 55th Jubilee Celebration of the Chicago District, on June 22, at Frank’s Grove, 117th and Homan Avenue, and do not have facilities to get there, should notify the secretary. We shall charter a bus to transport the members of our branch, but we shall first have to know the number of reservations to put in. Won’t you please notify us as soon as possible, so that proper arrangements can be made? Fraternally, FRANK BALOGH, Secretary. piece of paper. This may be true, but to these youngsters a diploma means the first step to their future success. To all the graduates of 1941. regardless where they may be, I wish to extend my best wishes and congratulations There, now I’ve started my article. Even though it took a lot of unnecessary words to do so, the job now remains to continue. The Verhovay Journal gets news from Gary so seldom that I finally decided to do something about it. This month, for some reason or other, I seem to have more energy than usual, so I decided to scout around town and pick up bits of news and gossip, v/hich may interest the reader's of the Vexhovay Journal. Don’t be surprised if your name appears in this issue. When I start banging on my typewriter, anything can happen. Here goes! Since no one in our branch, at least not to my knowledge, has decided to “tie the knot” this month, i’ll have to turn to the next j important topic of the j month, graduation. Among the graduates of Gary high j schools this year, we have four Verhovay members, namely, Dorothy Bosanac, j Margaret Bodnar and Steve j Klusovsky, who graduate j from Froebel High School on June 13th, and Frank Sabo Ir., who graduated from Edi- 1 son High School, in East Gary last week. In the name of cur branch 1 wish to congratulate these young people. Incidently, Dorothy Bosanac is a niece of Mr. Ernest Kunstadt, secretary of Branch 164 of Chicago. Mr. Stork hasn’t been exactly idle this past month. Daughters were born recently at the Mercy Hospital to Dr. and Mrs. T. Tolpa and to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Farkas. Dr. Tolpa is a member of Branch 138. His wife Is the former Emma Kardos. Both Mr. and Mrs. Farkas 1 are members of Branch 371. and little Jean is already a member of our organization also. Congratulations to both of these young families. I think Mr. and Mrs. Alex Torié, Sr., are just about the proudest parents in Gary at the moment, and they havegood reasons to be. The} have three sons in the army and all three have high ranks as officers. Then eldest son Alex, Jr., is lieutenant colonel in Co. A. 113 Engrs; Steve is captain in Co. B.; and Laci is a sergeant in Co. A. All three brothers are stationed at Camp Shelby,’in Mississippi. Page 9 William “■Fuzzy” Bazinsky is now known as Corporal Bazinsky, down in good old Camp Shelby. Nice going, kid, keep it up and you may even be general some day. My brother John, a graduate of the United States Army, School for Bakers and Cooks, and stationed in Camp Shelby since last January, just left back for Mississippi, after a brief visit with the family. I don’t know what Uncle Sam feeds those boys, but whatever it is, it sure seems to stick to the ribs. One look at my brother and I was fully convinced that a year in the Army wouldn’t hurt any young man. Branch 371 wishes to welcome the following: Clara Farkas, Mrs. John Farkas, Mary Kocsis, Mrs. Mary Shaw, Frank Sabo , Jr., and Joseph Kalmar, as the most recent additions to our great Verhovay family. I wish to' congratuhte Miss Anne Verbics on securing that swell new position. Anne is now employed by the Federal Housing Authority-With June 22nd so close on hand, I wish to remind the members of our great Verhovay Day Celebration, to be held on that day at Frank's Grove, 119th and Homan Avenue, in Chicago. The Committee in charge has worked months in preparing to make the celebration an outstanding success. The least we can do to shore our appreciation for their efforts is to attend. So if you wish to spend a delightful day, in true Hungarian atmosphere, I know you won’t fail to attend. Looking forward to seeing you all in Chicago on the 22nd cf June, I am Fraternally, ANNE EHDNAR, tary.--------------O-------------BRANCH 5 NOTICE Maynard, O.J.)
