Page 4 June 26, 1941 Verhovayak Congratulations for the New Members Column We here take great pleasure and derive much satis­faction in commending Joseph J. Horvath, Secretary of Branch 366, Cleveland, Ohio, very loyal and active mem­ber for his new NEW MEMBERS COLUMN. Our Supreme President, in his capacity as editor in chief of the Verhovay Journal, both sections, dutifully scrutinizes every issue of the official organ. In reading over the NEW MEMBERS COLUMN, the Supreme President saw something that pleased his per­sonal likings and recognized a type of column that would be of immense benefit to the entire membership, and it is his desire that others from among the contributors fol­low suit by writing articles and columns similar in scope to the valuable NEW MEMBERS COLUMN of Mr. Horvath. The fact that this column so welled pleased the Su­preme President that he made very favorable comment is proof that the official Verhovay family knows and stresses the truth that the future welfare and progress of our organization depends on the new blood taken in—the new membership. Every year thousands of new members are coming into the Association. None of us doubts that we members should do all in our power to make the new members feel that they are welcome and are part and parcel of this growing organ­ization. Certainly one of the best ways to do this is to give them publicity through the Journal. This makes it much easier for them to become acquainted with their Verhovay brethren, and besides FRATERNALISM, which is part of our title, demands this action and conduct on the part of the older members. This all goes back to our oft-repeated words that every branch should have its official publicity agent'who would be responsible for reporting the activities and pro­grams of his or her branch through the medium of the Verhovay Journal. Having an official publicity agent, the welcoming of new members would be the rule and not the exception of the branches. The publication of Verhovay matters is far more im­portant than the inclusion of non-Verhovay topics; the contributions of branches take precedence over the writ­ings of the individual members; the articles of members mean more to us than the occasional appearance of non­member contributions, and must never be sacrificed for the latter. EVERY branch SHOULD make it a point to appoint or elect an official publicity agent, and EVERY branch column SHOULD have a part devoted to its new members, or a separate column to that effect. Congratulations to Joseph J. Horvath for his very worthy NEW MEMBERS COLUMN, and may it be the beginning of an epidemic of other columns devoted to the introducing and familiarizing of our new new members— our future! STABILITY PROGRESS Careful, conservative and sound investments assure the STABILITY of Verhovay’s turds and securities, thereby giving full confidence to members and prospective members. With its assets making sizable gains year after year and its membership increasing by leaps and bounds, Verhovay sees before itself a definite future which spells PROGRESS. SOCIABILITY rather than frowned upon is regarded as essential to the well-being of Ver hovay life and activities. Verhovay’s encouragement and promotion of social movements within and among its branches is in keeping with the spirit of true FRATERNALISM. SOCIABILITY FRATERNALISM VERHOVAY FRATERNAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION 345 FOURTH AVE. PITTSBURGH, PA SMOKE RINGS FROM YOUNGSTOWN Branch 364 Out of the smoky haze I emerge again to relate to you another chapter of the recent activities of Branch 364. Our plans usually are realized, with one or two exceptions, as for instance, the May dance which had to be canceled. However, our other successful social af­fairs more than offset the disappointments that we suf­fer occasionally. Our first wiener roast was a gay outing, although the crowd wasn’t very large, due probably to the unusual chill of the evening. The cheerful blaze of logs that Mr. Ren­des was so kind of have ready and burning strong for us was a welcome sight, kept the nip off the tips of our noses, and made us downright comfy. It was a real campfire session because everyone stuck close by the fire. The wieners disap­peared so fast I wonder if there were any calls for bicarbonate of soda in some of our members’ homes dur­ing the wee, wee hours. The late comers had nothing left but the buns and cold bever­ages that weren’t exactly relished because of the coolness of the night. After long absence, our friend , M i k e “Dagwood” Handel, put in an appear­ance and, as usual, was the life of the party. I overheard him say he was on a ten day furlough, which accunts for his having been an absentee. Well, friend Handel, wrap­ped in somebody’s quilt, played Big Chief Wahoo, and friend Phil Houser, swabbed in George Orosz’s Indian blanket, enacted the part of the chief’s chubby squaw, and an adorable couple they did make! Someone rigged up two cardboard feathers and their costumes were complete. Chief Wahoo, true to ancient customs and tra­ditions, kept his squaw in her place, that is, behind him at all times, and doing his kidding. It was a two man show with three ring circus qualities, and couldn’t have been funnier if it had been rehearsed. But the climax came when Handel dropped his Indian role and “done got religion”, cal­ling “upon de lawd to sabe” his soul—“hallelujah!” Of course “Parson Jones” Hou­ser was there to help out in the ceremonies and incanta­tions, and they sure did it up neatly, leaving the crowd spasmodic. Nevertheless, all this comedy had to be wit­nessed to be fully enjoyed, for written description is inadequate, so those who were not present missed Echos from Lorain — Branch 372 The Cleveland Verhovay Lodges of District 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 have asked our secre­tary-treasurer, Julius Cha­­szar, and members of our Branch, to cooperate with them in regard to buying and selling tickets for their day of outing which is to be held at Puritan springs Park in Cleveland, Sunday, August 17th. This gala affair, the 55th Anniversary Verhovay Day, is expected to draw a large crowd from Cleveland and vicinity, and we of Branch 372 are offering our fullest cooperation for the success of this event. loads of fun. I am still wondering what our dear Prez Brogley found on the seat of his trousers when he got home that night? Albert Mazie, mean­while, unable us usual to dispense with his annual ritual, a bath, and being for­bidden the nice, icy (b-r-r-r) waters of Lake McKelvey, took a comfortable shower bath of foaming beer, and I don’t mean internally! During the evening we were pleasantly entertained by the Rendes Orchestra and its vocalist, Miss Betty Sabados, a relative of Mrs. Rendes, during rehearsal in the Rendes living room. The loudspeaker was turned on and out floated the tan­talizing rhythm of the Hun­garian csárdás. I learned that one of our members and former sec­retary, Frank Horvath, suf­fered serious burns in an accident while at work. Branch 364 and I wish to express our profound sym­pathy at his misfortune, and sincerely wish him speedy recovery. Sit up and take notice, folks! The girls held a meet­ing on June 13 to discuss organizing a tennis team for the summer. I have no in­formation as to the outcome of this meeting, but hope that it met with success! I probably will be able to give more details next month. ATTENTION, MEMBERS: Make every effort to be present at our July meeting so that we may plan some other pleasant events for the summer. Everybody likes a good time, but unless we cooperate, we can not pos­sibly make any successful plans. Also, keep in mind that our gala Verhovay Day will take place at the Whip­poorwill Inn on June 29, so make it your duty to be there! Fraternally, THE SILHOUETTE The tickets for this un­usual affair may be had by contacting our secretary, Julius Chaszar. The proceeds of this event will go towards the benefit of the Cleveland Verhovay Home. Margaret Arty, who was confined for two weeks in the hospital as a result of a jaw infection, is convalescing very nicely. We offer our deepest sympathy because of her illness, but our heartiest congratulations for her bravery in seeing the serious danger through with a smile. John Rigo, who had been stationed in Louisiana for some time, is home on a short leave of absence. He will resume his duties at Fort Riley later. Welcome home, Mike Deb cig. You certainly have the atmosphere of a real soldier. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Bodnar for welcoming the stork for the third time. It has been a male burden each time. We wish to thank the new caretaker of our club room for doing such a splendid job in cleaning and remodeling the club house. We also wish to thank Mr. Garbak, our past caretaker, for the splendid work that he car­ried on while he hc»d charge of the club house. A thought or two: I have often been found in the arms of another man’s wife. I am not ashamed though, for she was my mother. Your candid friend has never anything pleasant to say to you; he reminds you of his pet virtue by wound­ing you with it. To preserve a friend three things are required: to honor him present, praise him ab­sent, and assist him in his necessities. Fraternally, Alexander C. Petho, Publicity Agent. --------:o:--------­BRANCH 396 SPORTS NOTICE Jacobs Creek, Pennsylvania The baseball team of Branch 396 has opened its season.
