October 30, 1941 Page 11 THE 376 HERALD (Prop, and Ed., JOHN “DIRK” FULOP) __________________Verhovavak La Pia BRANCH 39b McKeesport, Pennsylvania VENI, VIDI. .. When I received President John Sabo’s bulletin inviting me to a Halloween Party, I had just made up my mind to stay at home, but when I read it nothing could keep me away—not even the rain that came down in bucket­fuls. Being one who appre­ciates a bargain, I felt that I could not afford to miss this one. Apparently my fel­low members felt as I did because the hall was show­ing definite signs of becom­ing crowded when I got there, and as the program had not yet started Ethel Halas warmed us up with a few good Hungarian songs. Then from his vantage point in the center of the stage, President John Sabo officially opened the pro­gram; incidentally, I think he missed his calling... he would have made a wonder­ful M. C. on some radio pro­gram. The contests were really the hit of the evening; Helen Klein nearly choked in the cracker contest... no other casualties; Emery Mak­­rancy won the Coca Cola contest, beating contestants Theresa Lesnansky and Grace Koos by a couple of lengths. Comments: Theresa Les­nansky, “This should have some rum in it.” But the apple cider that followed ac­companied by some peanut brittle was an acceptable substitute. This is where I’ll stop to say that Ann Bogi certainly makes an excellent commit­tee of one... she prepared the refreshments for which we here give her a vote (if thanks. And our thanks to Marie Toth, too. Everybody pinned a tail on the donkey (or around him), but after the supply of tails was exhausted the poor critter still lacked one where he needed it most. Then the speaker of the evening took the floor. Be­ing an extremely modest person, he did not dwell long on his subject “The Art of Wooing and Win­ning,” but let his successess speak for him. We wound up the evening on tea and crullers, which left nothing more to be de­sired than bowling the fol­lowing evening. With the majority of members, bowling on Wed­nesday night is a “must.” It’s not because we’re such good bowlers (please refer to sport page for scores) but for various reasons, such as giving your lungs some much needed exercise Blasted out of his grave to ride forth again, Don Quixote returns to this tur­bulent mortal earth. Yea verily, America may now feel secure, because “ye ed.” is no longer a mere citizen but a stalwart defender of our shores, a defender of De­mocracy, a guardian of Li­berty, a protector against invasion, a cog in the ma­chinery of our defense, A BUCK PRIVATE IN THE U. S. ARMY. “Ye ed.” deemed it best to be in the army because being a loyal and patriotic citizen it was the only thing to do, and there is the fair name of Fulop to uphold and the sacred duty to see that there is no blotch on the family escutcheon (what­ever that is), and besides our number came up and we were drafted. By the way, as one, and catching up with the local news as another. Of course, if you make a couple of strikes in the course of the evening, that’s all right, and if you don’t President Sabo can be de­pended on to tell you how to hold your ball, or Marie Toth to heckle the other team. And then too, we can’t overlook the fact that the branch pays for one of your games ... an aid to the budget. THIS ‘N’ THAT . .. Joseph George says he wouldn’t mind being induct­ed into the army if only to get away from the deplor­able bus service on Walnut Street, only he used a dif­ferent word. Could it be poor bus service that’s keeping Bill Kukta away, I wonder? As an inducement I quote Alex Goydan: “The girls at Branch 395 are getting more and more alluring.” To a very serious-minded young man I direct the fol­lowing: Mr. Alex Meszar, are you contemplating the solitary and secluded life, or have you forsaken youthful frivolities, or is it just be­cause you don’t like crowds that you’ve became a candi­date for the office of For­gotten Man? I can assure you that all is forgiven and it’s perfectly safe for you to come back into the fold. Quote Albert Jozik: “Al­though I am strictly mascu­line, I’d not be averse to meeting an heiress”; Helen Ganyu, on world conditions: “They’re here to stay”; your publicity agent: “So long.” Fraternally, HELEN STIPKOVITS, Publicity Agent. if ever we get into war I have a secret (?) weapon all ready to use on the enemy. I shall have some of my columns printed on leaf­lets to be dropped over the enemy lines from an aero­plane. After the enemy reads a few they won’t feel like fighting. We are spending our last days at home in leasure and contentment and slumber. For one thing, having read and heard so much about daytime radio serials, other­wise known as “soap operas.” we decided to listen to a few. Take the case of Val­iant Betsy, of -“The O’Gold­­bergs, Family of Destiny” (who live in the house half­way up the next block). Be­fore the commercial she has refused (tearfully and with much regret) two proposals of marriage from million­aires, and then tells the man she really loves why she can’t marry him, but still gets around on her unbroken leg fighting off the landlord and nursing the dying wo­men who had tried to poison her and marry her brother for his money. Friends, you have just heard another stirring epi­sode from the real life drama entitled, “The O’Gold­­bergs,” etc. Be sure to listen tomorrow to find out who that stranger is who bumped into Betsy on the street. Will he be her missing stepuncle who (whom) she has never seen? Remember tomorrow at this same time, same sta­tion, and in the meantime use plenty of “Sapsy’s Sudsy Soap.” For my radio entertain­ment I’ll take some solid Eight-to-the-Bar stuff that sends you out of the world, puts you on the beam, has you kicking it off, knocking yourself out, flipping a hip, and curls your toenails Many typewriter ribbons have been worn thin along with the patience of many (?) of our subscribers since we started writing. It was fun, and we wish to thank the contributors and readers who said so many nice things about our columning, es­pecially “The Ferret.” If we had about six million more like her we could go on the radio. You know, it’s fun being drafted. All our relatives gathered at our house the other night to bid farewell, and I received so many nice presents that I think I will enlist after my release just to get all those nice things over again. So far among many other useful and won­derful gifts, I have received Juvenile Order—Monthly Report SEPTEMBER, 1941 New members ....„....................................................... 173 Reinstated from lapsed ............................................. 64 Reinstated from extended ......................................... 3 Total ............................................................. 240 Lapsed .................... 155 Deceased ............................. 4 Transferred to Senior Order ____ 48 207 Increase........................................................... 33 Forwarded from last month ............................... 12,836 Total ................................................... 12,869 Total Extended members .......... 1 Total Paid-Up members ..............................._........... 3 Total membership .................. 12,873 DEATH BENEFITS were paid for: Jeanette Boule, died September 11, 1941.
