July 10, 1941 Page S CLEVELAND VERHOVAIAN Branch 366 Verhovayak Lapja____________ this matter. The girls were Anne Verbics, Mary Kocsis, Ann Farkas, Dorothy Boso­­nac, Elizabeth Kocsis, Do­rothy Corral and my sister Marge. I don’t know whether these girls were born such capable salesgirls, or if it was the sound of the music of Sepessy’s Orchestra com­ing from the dance hall, that prompted them to get rid of the pop and ice cream in such a hurry. At any rate, the booth was officially closed by 6 o’clock. What­ever it was, we must give credit were credit is due. You girls surely did a swell job. I was also happy to note the number of guests that attended the picnic from Gary. We were really well represented. One of my members has decided that two can live as cheaply as one, so that gives me a wedding to report on ... Joseph Tomcsik and his bride, the former Geraldine Timm, have returned from their wedding trip to Pitts­burgh and are now at home at 607 Vz York, Michigan City. Marriage of the couple took place at St. Paul’s church in Michigan City. Mr. Tomcsik is the son oi Mr. and Mrs. Isa Price of 1517 Georgia St., Gary. The new Mrs. Tomcsik is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Timm of Michigan City. For her marriage, Miss Timm wore a velva ray dress, cut on princess lines, and her bridal veil was the one worn by her grandmother 48 years ago. Miss Marian Timm, sister of the bride, was maid of honor; Miss Lillian Pastor of Indiana Harbor and Miss Betty Ra­­zun of Washington, D. C. were bridesmaids; Arthur Bariska of Pittsburgh was best men; groomsmen were William, Jr. and Joe Zeman. Nearly 125 guests attend­ed the reception held in Memorial Park after the ceremony. Out of town guests included the Misses Rose and Cecilia Beres, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Beres, grandparents of the bride­groom, all of Pittsburgh; Charles Razun és Mrs. Paul Matus, Jr., of Washington, D. C.; Miss Anna Pastor, oi Indiana Harbor; Mrs. Chester Freund, of Baltimore, Md.; and Mrs. Anna Daritich, of Youngstown, Ohio. Mr. Tomcsik is a member of 371, and our branch takes this opportunity to congra­tulate Joe and his bride and to wish them every success and happiness in the future. In my last issue I stated that we have four Verho­­vay members graduating from high school this year. We really have five. I acci­dentally forgot one of them, Albert Price, who received his diploma from Emerison High School on June 12th. I don’t know how I happen­ed to overlook a young man so important as Al, because with his graduation Gary loses one of its best high school basketball stars of the current season. I hope Mr. Price will accept my humble apology for being so absent-minded. While I’m still on the subject of graduation, I’d like to extend my congratu­lations to a young man who recently received his medical* degree at Loyola University in Chicago. Gary has few Hungarian doctors and seldom produces new ones, so this causes us to be doubly proud of young Doc­tor Eugene Wicker, who re­sides with his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. William Wichek, at 832 Grant St., in Gary. Dr. Wicker will leave Gary soon to report at the Louisiana Charity Hospital in New Orleans, where he begins his year of internship July 1st. Good luck in your new work, Doc­tor, and we hope to have you back in our midst soon Our Verhovay Hungarian school opened Monday, June 23d, with a class of 50 students. Since I live direct­ly across the street from Saint Emeric’s School, where the classes are held, I can hear that they are already progressing very nicely. I don’t have to strain my ears to hear them sing Hunga­rian songs and recite lines such as “Esik eső, fuj a szél.” If you have a child who would like to take part in these classes it is not too late to enroll yet. If interest­ed, get in touch with yours truly. My address is 1372 Harrison Street. Until next month, when I shall be back with more news, I remain, Fraternally, ANNE BODNAR, Secretary.--------------O-------------­BRANCH 434 NOTICE South Bend, Indiana The regular monthly meetings of Branch 434 have been postponed for the sum­mer season until October. The date and other parti­culars of the next meeting shall be announced in the September issue of the Jour­nal. Dues may be paid as usual every week, Tuesday, Thurs­day and Friday 6:30 to 9:00 P. M., Saturday 2:00 to 5:30 P. M. Fraternally, I. YUHASE Secretary-Treasurer. .. KATHRYN JANKOVITS Recorder. Relinquishment We hereby turn over the heading of our last column, “New Members Column,” to our Journal for use of all the American branches, and we petition the editors to es­tablish a page titled “New Members Page,” so that the secretaries of the various branches will send in notes about their new members and feel that they have something in common with the other writers. What do you say, gang? Need I vi­sualize the tremendous po­pularity of such page? New Members John J. Peci... recom­mended by Alex Kovach. Al hasn’t forgotten about us completely. Wiliam A. Major... re­commended by A. E. Karl. Mr. Karl has always been a friend of Branch 366. Our Mistake Anna Marie Bakos went to Branch 14 instead of Branch 366. We surely are sorry to lose Anna Marie. Credit Due You have to give Louis Vassy, District Organizer, credit, for he is a hustler and a good Verhovian, and is ready to “annihilate” any­one who speaks ill of the Verhovay. Our Meetings Our new lady president, ■Miss Goldie Zsednay, was a little nervous when in her present capacity she con­ducted her first meeting, but she did a fine job. Our alert, prompt and ef­ficient recording secretary, Miss Frances Schwartz, and our feature columnist, Ann V. Biro (they’re buddies now), came exactly one hour late to the meeting, yet it’s only a ten minutes walk to the hall—window shopping. New members at their first meeting were— Agnes Nemeth, who was in a state of astonishment be­cause at 7:45 P. M. nobody but the secretary and trea­surer was there. Anyway, we proceeded to make her feel right at home, which was no trouble at all—no trouble for Joseph Nagy; Sally and Helen Molnár came in late. We are calling this fact to the attention of the prexy so that she will ask them to come a little earlier the next time; Peter and Florence Pastor attended together. We ob­tained a smile out of Pete, but it seemed to us that Florence didn’t approve of us. We promise to be on our better behavior next time. Found! Bertha Pinter finally found her earring. Marriage Miss Mary Matusz was married on June 21, 1941 at St. Elizabeth’s Church, Cleveland. We wish her joy and happiness and congra­tulate the bridegroom. Sports Joseph Nagy and Yours truly scouted the Verhovay Branch 45 Baseball Team a few Sundays ago, and, after seeing them perform, we are wondering where John Nagy, Manager, collect­ed that bunch. If some of them can play ball, then I am a deep sea driver—and I don’t like deep water. Now is the time to get a Verhovay Bowling Congress rolling. We have been ad­vocating this for years. If it is possible to divide the Verhovay world into districts for membership campaigns and offer prizes, then it is equally as possible to do the same for bowling. Consider the gain. What are you giving the new member when there is a membership drive? Nothing except insurance. But when a new member comes in on a bowling team, he or she begins to feel the kind of fraternalism that nobody can buy. Yes, bowl­ing creates this feeling. And everybody can bowl, men or women from 14 to 100 years old. So long as they have one arm or leg they are eligible in this game, unlike the specialized sports, such as baseball, basketball, etc., where trained athletes are needed. So gentlemen of the Verhovay—d irectors and friends—please give this your kind attention. This is a plea —a petition— and don’t let us down. We have faith in our Verhovay leaders. Publicity Publicity in our local papers would be of inestim­able value to our lodges throughout the country. Gratitude We thank the editors foi their kind remarks. Message Glad to hear from you, Ferret. How is the little Ferret? Thanks for the cards. Ann V. Biro (Mystricky) likes to build everybody up. She is a grand girl. But sometimes build-ups are bad, for they often suffer a let­down. So our Ferret has her moods, too? Why you poor kid, you must have been tired. Tough going, eh, BRANCH 503’S YOUNGEST MEMBER Chicago, Illinois BABY HABETLER We are happy to introduce the youngest member of Branch 503, Chicago. Pictured above is Robert L. Habetler, 1756 W. Ohio Street. His father, although born in this country, left with his parents to Hungary, at the age of 8, and lived until his 20th year in Csajta, Vas­­megye. Mrs. Habetler is a Chica­goan, but her mother came from Csajta, and her father from Kisnarda, both in Vas­­megye. Young Mr. and Mrs. L. Habetler have every reason to be proud of their son, Robert, who is now a Ver­hovay member. We hope soon also to wel­come Mr. and Mrs. Habetler also into the ranks of the Verhovay organization. Fraternally, FRANK BALOGH, Secretary. Jolán? My compliments to your branch. Fraternally, Joseph J. Horvath, Financial Secretary. EDITORIAL NOTE: We thank Mr. Horvath for offer­ing us his excellent title, the “New Members Column,” which would be modified to the “New Members Page,” in accordance with member Horvath’s suggestion. If enough secretaries show in­terest, we will create this new page. The secretaries would send in notes on their new members and we would classify them according to their respective branches. These notes would have to be kept apart from any other subjects—just notes on new members only. We eagerly await the response of the secretaries. Thanks again Mr. Horvath, for your worthy suggestion and for your keen interest in the Journal.
