* Page 6 Whats New at Branch 371 Gary, Indiana Verhovayali Lapja. October 9, 1941 VERHOVAY CHILDREN GREET MRS. ROOSEVELT . School days, school days, dear old golden rule days, reading and ’riting and ’rithmetic ... How many happy memories are refreshed in our minds when we hear that grand old song! Yep, a lot of youngsters returned to their classes at school a few days after Labor Day, with some eagerness, some regret. Eagerness, to make the acquaintance of their new teachers and classmates, and perhaps to get a chance to play football again. Regret, because all those happy, lazy summer days are a thing of the past. But cheer up, kids, you know time marches on, and before we realize it summer and vacation time will be here again. I’m a little late with my article this month, but that’s only because I was waiting for things to happen that may interest you readers. I succeeded in gathering the following bits of news. ARMY Our local Sears-Roebuck store is looking for a good shoe salesman, to replace John Kocsis, who suddenly upt and decided that Uncle Sam needs him more than his employers do. Johnny is interested in radio and signed up for three years service in that field. He left last Saturday for Texas, with promises to write as soon as he arrived. Lots of luck Johnny, and I hope you learn everything about radios. Hear that Joe Guraly is doing all right for himself down at Fort Benning in Georgia. He reports that he has a soft office job at the camp. Nice work if you can get it! WEDDINGS Elizabeth Kovach is now signing her name Mrs. Lowell (Bud) Jefferson. Her marriage took place at Saint Emeric’s Church Rectory on Saturday, September 20th. Miss Kovach has been employed in the offices of Carnegie-Illinois Sheet & Tin Mills for the past two years. Congratulations and good luck in the future. Steve Markos, Jr., and Theresa Shimko were married in St. Emeric’s Church, August 17th, at a Nuptual High Mass, with the Rev. G. Gyorfy officiating. A reception was held at the Hungarian Political Club for about 150 friends of the young couple. Steve and Tess chose Michigan as the ideal place to spend their honeymoon. Congratulations, j kids, and best wishes for your future happiness. BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. John Pruj zin recently welcomed another daughter into their happy family circle. As you probably all know, Johnny is one of Gary’s leading undertakers. I wish to congratulate the young parents, c*nd hope they have better luck with that “son" the next time. A daughter was recently born to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Poremski at the Mercy Hospital. Mrs. Poremski is the former Ann Buynoski, and a member of Branch 371. MISCELLANEOUS I certainly enjoyed reading John “Dirk” Fulop’s article in the Journal. You’ve got to hand it to the boy. He surely has ways of expressing himself that make his write-ups most interesting. The election of Director John Szalanczy as Supreme Treasurer is just about the nicest thing that happened around here in many a moon. Everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Szalanczy knows that the Home Office has gained a real asset. Mr. Szalanczy was Director of the Chicago area and President of Branch 96, Chicago. He was also chosen as president of the recently celebrated Chicago 55th Anniversary Verhovay Day. It was while attending the meetings for the Jubilee picnic that I met and became a good friend of Mr. Szalanczy. No one wishes him success in his new work more than I do, and I have every belief that he will succeed. Congratulations, Mr. Szalanczy! Just like most of my fellow contributors, I recently submitted my picture for publication in the Verhovay Journal. My only hope is that the ink they use will help improve that awful profile of mine. Maybe then I won’t sc^re too many people Fraternally, ANNE BODNAR, Secretary.--------------O-------------BRANCHES 288 AND 432 Crescent, Ohio MEETING Branches 288 and 432 will have a joint meeting on October 19, 1941.

Dressed in the Hungarian national costume, the five girls presented Mrs. Roosevelt with a beautiful bouquet given by the Hungarian Self-Culture Society, How much the First Lady appreciated the attentions of Johanne and Shirley is proved by the two letters she recently sent to them, and which we reproduce here: Septenber 28, I9<1 My dear Johanne.: I want to tell you how much I enjoyed the ceremony when you and Shirley Rathi presented the flowers to me, and to thank you for your part in it.
