VERHOVAY SPORTSMEN of BRANCH ---------------- CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -------­June 26,1941__________r_______________________V erhovayak Lapja 164 Appeal, Beauty and Charm By BETTY CAROL BALEGA __________________________________________Page 5 Well, here it is, the end of June and the beginning of July, and we have just had a small sample of what the summer heat is going to be. I love summer, heat and all, when I can loll on the beach before the lake or even at home in the bath tub. I’m quite sure there are a lot of others that share this type of enjoyment, but when it comes to be 99 de­grees in the shade and you have to stay cooped up in a hot of­fice or factory—that’s a horse of a different color. If we like it or not summer is here so we may as well make the best of it. I’m glad to say my spring fever has disappeared, but it turned into a beautiful case of “summer laziness.” You get the idea, don’t you? MEETINGS The Senior Order of our branch held their regular meeting on the first Friday of June. It was a very quiet and orderly meeting. Our president, Mr. Irocky, gave a pep talk about the Member­ship Drive and also reminded us of our two big affairs in the near future. The first of these is the 55th Verhovay Jubilee on June 22d, and the other is our own Annual Picnic to be held July 6th at the Silverleaf Picnic Grove. A very important decision was made at this meeting, stating that Branch 164 is willing to co­operate 100% in all social events of this year with Branches 342 and 503, if our terms are ac­cepted. The meeting gave our president, secretary and Junior secretary permission to shoulder full re­sponsibilities on all matters taken up. As I am informed, a combined meeting of these three branches was held June 19, but there is no news yet concerning the out­come as to whether they reached an understanding. There is a rumor about a plan made to produce an amateur play towards the end of October or November combining the talents of the three branches. Perhaps in my next column I can tell you more about this. There has been a change of date for the Seniors’ July meet­ing, as Independence Day falls on the regular meeting date. Instead of Friday, the meeting will be held Tuesday, July 1st, at the usual place, 333 W. North Avenue. NEW MEMBERS It’s an old headline but it’s new to me this year. Today I have the pleasure of welcoming Iris Varga, daughter of our entertainment chairman, Amelia Jakopovich, John Bernat and Theodore Kirchberg. Another young lady, Margaret Maszaros has become a new member. Today is the birthday of a Junior member of ours, and she is just sixteen. Marilyn Petrass, now a young lady whose name appeared in this colunm some time ago, I welcome you to the Senior Order. Oh yes, I must not forget Gus­tave Wojtas, Jr. was also trans­ferred from the Juvenile to the Senior Order. I hope, Gus, you will follow your dad’s footsteps and be an asset to us in the near future. (However, it’s not compulsory to raise a mustache to belong to the Senior Order.) DEFENSE NEWS And so the North and West side Verhovay is in the Army now. Our honor roll includes Louie Lachman, who at present is en­gaged in learning modern war­fare at the Phillipine Islands. His brother, Alex Lachman, encamped June 19th for the Hawaiian Islands. Both are sons of Mr. Anton Lachman, co-chairman of our July 6th picnic. A real product of 164 is Theodore Luga, who at present is taking up the Aviation Instruc­tion Course at the Washington Park Airport. Army life keeps our two twins very busy. Frank Kantor, at pre­sent, is stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, Company D, 28th B N Engineers Replacement Center. He is taking up engineer­ing and, though too busy to write, he is doing a good job with the axe. A good engineer, writes Frankie to one of our lodge officers, must know how to chop down trees, and Frankie is an expert getting trees out of his way. (I’m not even referring to the old time “Nellie” that made Frankie famous a few years ago.) It seems that our boys down south have a little more time to write. Private Marvin Kunstadt, 94th Coast Artillery (AA), Camp Davis, North Carolina Battery E, wrote a nice letter to me. He asked me to write a couple of things for him but I think his own letter explains itself so I will just copy a paragraph or so for you to read. Quote: “Margie, will you please, in your next article, thank the Ver­hovay 164 for the very nice Army Kit they gave me. Also, please mention that I use it every day. “I sure miss the whole gang. Gosh! no words can really ex­press how very very much I really miss them and the Ver­hovay affairs. “Margie, will you please, pretty please, write in your article some­thing to thank mom and pop and my sweetie Irma for how very swell they have all been. Please do this for me, huh?” Unquote. The things he asked me to do are clearly stated in his letter, and I’m sure it’s much better than anything I could say. The boys are very busy in camp but they still have time to be lonesome. It isn’t much trouble to write a letter, so I’m asking all Verhovay members here in Chicago that know these boys to take a few minutes and write the boys a short note or a long letter just to show them that we miss them too. SOCIAL EVENTS In my last column I mentioned a member whose name starts with a K was about to be married. Well, I had them all guessing but now that the wedding is over I announce the marriage of mem­ber Joseph Kolozsi, June 14th, at the Burnside Hungarian Re­formed Church. Joseph is the son of one of our best and most faithful 164 members, Mr. B. Ko­lozsi, who has served as an of­ficer for many years. I am recording a Silver Wed­ding of Mr. and Mrs. John Ku­­lovits. Our Senior secretary and Junior secretary with their wives attended the affair and wished them many more happy years to­gether. Twenty-five beautiful roses were sent to them in the name of the branch. I’m a little late in announcing a 40th wedding anniversary which was quietly celebrated a few months ago. The celebrants were our ex-president, Frank Luga and his wife. Although our wishes are late they still come sincerely from the hearts of our members. Talking about wedding anni­versaries, Tony and I just cele­brated our second anniversary. It really seems as if it were only yesterday that we were mar­ried, but the time and years are quietly slipping away. What!!! no weddings in June— Well, there was only one but 1 do have an engagement announce­ment. Blondie No. 1 Balog and William Leiner of Washington and Chicago are engaged. Let me know when you two set the date. From weddings the thought changes to babies. A baby shower was held much to the surprise of Mrs. A. Tury, the mother-to-be. Most of the married women of Branch 164 attended this shower, Which was a very happy oc­casion and proceeded in a merry way. A complete baby crib was given to Anne as a gift from the group, and she thanked everyone with tears in her eyes. The shower was held at my home and was given by my sister, Julia Vash, and myself. If I do have to say so myself, the deco­rations were very appropriate and were something out of the or­dinary. FLASH NO. 1 I want to wish Anne Bodnar luck. You all must have noticed her article in our paper. The first few articles are the hardest, Anne, but I’ll be looking for more in our future editions. FLASH NO. 2 Dorothy Ann Bosanac, one of Branch 164’s members in Gary, Indiána, graduated from the Froebel High School on Friday, the thirteenth of June. Margaret Bodnar, little sister of Anne’s, was also a member of that gradu­ation class. Your on your own now, girls, and I wish you lots of luck on whatever path you choose to follow. FLASH NO. 3 One father received this Father’s Day message in a telegram; “One of the chips wishes the old block a happy Father’s Day. May the axe swing a long time yet, Pop.” FLASH NO. 4 Our Marge Fodor has decided to retire from social functions for a few months. No comments! FLASH NO. 5 Irma Folos, who is not a Ver­hovay member yet, is visiting one of our soldier members in a southern camp. She was seen leaving Chicago for the south in the company of Mrs. Kunstadt (that’s Marv’s mother) and the Frank Kovack family of Indiana Harbor (well Frank, you made the news again). FLASH NO. 6 The two young husbands, Andy Risko and Ernie Kunstadt, must have a drag with the local Draft Board officials as both received 90 days deferment before enter­ing Army service. FLASH NO. 7 Member Mrs. Lawrence Berry, the former Rose Kovács, is the proud mother of a baby girl. Best For something new and dif­ferent in the great world of cos­metics and feminine luxuries look to Schiaparelli every time! Now that famous lady of fashion has restyled and subdued her make­up for the American women. Keyed to the radiance of New' York rather than the soft phos­phorescence of Paris, she has per­fected a face powder which is particularly suitable for this climate. It is blended to American complexions, in six tones. Schiaparelli herself decreed the change after a lecture tour across country, which convinced her that the brilliant light of the Western hemisphere demands as much study as actual flesh tones in perfecting make-up for American faces. Her new shades suggest a trend toward naturalness and a tendency to avoid the “cosmetic” look. Each powder carries lipstick, dry and cream rouge, in harmon­izing hue. A vivid, pink-toned powder, called “Vivacious,” is matched with a new clear red lipstick by the same name. “Fragile,” a misty delicate shade, is toned with “So Sweet,” another new lipstick color very like the natural shade of the lips. Made especially for women in uniform, this make-up is ultra conservative and strictly for the woman who appears un­painted. For brunette make-up, Schiaparelli suggests a flattering combination of “Rachel” powder with “Shocking” lipstick—now less purple. Or for those who prefer a warmer coloring, her “Riviera” shade with “Schiap” lipstick. Sun-tanned beauty sug­gested continuing the popular “Buccaneer” powder and “Buc­caneer” lipstick, so much in de­mand in the tropics. A pink and white skin, the kind that hides in summer under a big hat or a parasol, will retain its peach bloom look if dusted with “Crinoline” powder. “Stage” lipstick worn with this shade assures a healthy, little girl look. The new lipstick shades are restrained rather than the violent reds of past seasons, and in com­bining them with her subdued powders, Schiaparelli challenges the glamour girl type of beauty. A soft, lovely skin and lips not too carmine, plus such a’ssets as bright eyes and laughter, show which way beauty is heading! The sentimentalists will applaud this leading authority on fashion and beauty for being the first to suggest powdered perfume for the mattress! It comes in two little “smelling bottles,” each containing a full ounce of Shock­ing or Salut. Not only will it help woo sweet dreams, but its subtle fragrance will lend charm to the most prosaic couch! Ideal for those who prefer a sprinkling of sachet to a spray of perfume on their sheets and mattress. Daintily packaged in Shocking Pink or Salut Blue, they make ideal gifts for the week end hostess. Now here is good news for wishes to both of you, and daddy, too. FLASH NO. 8 The John Vash’s have some­thing to be proud of, too. Their’s is a ’36 De Soto, and I’m still waiting for my first ride. Just me, Margaret Stangret, Publicity Agent. 1427 So. Sawyer Avenue Chicago, Illinois. Shocking fans! Schiaparelli has a new refill, complete with tiny funnel, for those who want to keep her Victorian bottle as « permanent dressing table acces­sory. Use the funnel for making the transfer, and not a drop need be wasted. Each refill contains a half ounce of Shocking perfume. Towels for the bathhouse? Don’t forget this is also the time to stock up on cologne, talc and dusting powder—those little lux­uries which vanish from the shelves so rapidly. To prove that bathing is more than the simple rite of soap and water, Schia­parelli sooths us with Shocking or Salut eau de Cologne, dusting powder and talc, in either frag­rance; and for the “sportif” that exhilerating lotion, Eau de Sante, with its fresh woodsy smell and its challenge to just one more swim. Put them on your shopping list today... for the summer days are here!--------------O-------------­NEWS VIEWS AND PREVIEWS Branch 395 McKeesport, Pennsylvania Having been invited and having duly accepted, our branch will visit the Detroit Verhovays on the sixth of July. Final arrangements were made at our last meet­ing and a brief outline of the program was presented. We shall leave on Sunday morning, July 6th, from McKeesport and return early Monday morning. So please dust off your best bib and tucker, get your Sunday go­­to-meetin’ manners, and save your pennies. At our last meeting, a real Hungarian “szalonna sütés” (bacon fry) was sug­gested by Treasurer Julius Lenart for Sunday, June 22d, to be held at Horvath’s farm, but due to inability to obtain transportation in such a short time, the affair was called off for some later, more suitable date. We take this opportunity to extend the congratula­tions of the branch to Bert Nagy on his recent marriage, and wish the bride, the for­mer Miss Mastorovich, every happiness. Again, don’t forget our coming trip to Detroit, where we shall be entertained by Dearborn Branch 429. On Sunday morning, 12:24 A. M., Eastern Standard Time (1:24 Daylight Saving Time —our time during the sum­mer months), July 6th, we shall board the B. & O.’s Detroit bound “Ambassador Limited’’ (a de luxe air con­ditioned train) and will ar­rive in Detroit at 8:30 A. M., Eastern Standard Time (9:30 Daylight Saving Time), at the Union Depot on Fort Street. Fraternally, Helen Stipkovits, Publicity Agent.
