Page 2 February 25, 1943 MINUTES Taken at the extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Associa­tion, held on November 26, 1942, in New York, at the Pennsylvania Hotel. Present are: Joseph Darago, President, Joseph Sza­­lay, and Albert B. Ari, Vice Presidents, Stephen Lang, James Siket, John P. Kelemen, Frank Brogley, Dr. Joseph Prince, Moses Csömör, Louis Vizi, Bert Kun, Andrew Dobos, Jr., and Julius Macker, Directors. John Bencze, Coloman Revesz and John Szalanczy, Supreme Officers. 1. ) President Joseph Darago greets the members of the Board as well as the Supreme Officers and opens the meeting. At the same time, he reports that there are a few matters demanding immediate settlement, the discussion of which can not wait until the ensuing Board meeting in March of next year and since the Board as well as the Surpreme Officers have assembled for the joint conference in connection with the merger of societies, he deems it opportune to have these urgent matters settled on this day. The Board acknowledges with approval this action of the Supreme President. 2. ) Supreme President Joseph Darago reports that Ferenc Janoshy, emploded in the editing of the official journal is again seriously ill, and according to the opinion of our Chief Medical Examiner, he is unable to perform his duties and there is no hope for his re­covery within a short t;me, therefore, in accordance with the instructions of the March Board meeting, he orders the discontinuing of the payment of Ferenc Janoshy’s salary as of November 30, 1942. The Board acknowledges this action of the Supreme President. 3. ) The Supreme President further reports that we finally have an opportunity to relinquish the burden of the care of the South Shore Apartments in Chicago, Illinois, and, according to the offer attached to these minutes, we can exchange our 1352 South Shore Apart­ment Stocks for $57,000 00, face value City of Ashville, N. C., refunding bonds, maturing on July 1, 1976, paying IV2—4% interest. The Supreme Treasurer reads the letter containing the offer and asks the Board to weigh whether or not it would be worth while to accept the offer and free our­selves from the worry of caring for the building. He reports that the 1352 South Shore Apartment Stocks are shown upon our books as assets of $106,220.34 (Book Value) while in the Annual Statement, they are shown merely as a $29,744.00 admitted assets. The Board is aware that the stocks of this building, as well as the burden of the care of it, was inherited by the present Officers, as a result of the failure of the former Officers to cash in the bonds purchased by them; the Őoard is also aware of the fact that the building hardly brought any profit after the investment, during several years’ handling; therefore, they announce, unanimously, that they accept the offer and direct the Home Office to exchange the stocks for the $57,000.00 face-value City of Ashville, N. C., IV2—4% refunding bonds. 4. ) After this matter is settled, the Supreme President acquaints the Board with the situation of the employees of the Home Office as a result of the inter­vention of the United States Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division. The Board announces that they will not change their regulations concerning the employees until the March meeting, — (salaries, holidays, time). 5. ) The Supreme President reports that the Sec­retary of the newly organized Branch 518 of New Brunswick, N. J., came to New York for the purpose of personally inviting the officers of the Association to their celebration to be held on November 28th. Con­sidering that this new Branch, during its existence of only a few short months, attained such admirable re­sults in the field of securing new members, the Board sands Director Albert B. Ari to the celebration. 6. ) The Board directs the Home Office to issue $5200.00 to the $10,000.00 fund established for the ex-Verhovayak Lapja THE MAIL BOA SILENT Mr. MIKE SNEER, 2024 N. 21 St. Terre Haute, Ind. Hello Mr. Sneer and All: Just writing a few lines to let you know I am fine and in good health. As you know, I am in North Africa and it isn’t such a bad place, and the city here is very nice; also, the French people are nice to us. I appreciate the wallet the lodge sent me, it sure is handy. I received it on Christmas day here in Africa and give my regards to the members of the lodge. Fraternally, Pvt. Alex Ferency, Member of Br. 230, Terre Haute, Ind. North Africa Jan. 13, 1943 Mr. MIKE SNEER: I am writing a few lines to let you know that I received the present and I like it very much. I want to thank you and all the members of the Verhovay F. I.

OFFICERS, AND MEM­BERS OF THIS BRANCH: I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the fine gift that was sent to me for Christmas.

Charles A. Sneer, Br. 230, Terre Haute, Ind. Dec. 4, 1942 DEAR M. SNEER: I received the Xmas pres­ent sent to me by the Ver­hovay Fraternal Insurance Association, and I can say it came as a pleasant sur­prise. In fact, I was just going to buy myself another bill fold. My receiving this one from you saved me the trouble of buying one. I would like to thank each member personally, but that is impossible. There isn’t much else I can say, except that I ap­preciate the gift you sent me very much. A merry Xmas and a happy New Year. A Brother Member WILLIAM J. SOTAK, Member of Br. 230, Terre Haute, Ind. penses in connection with the merger of the Societies, if the other two Societies also pay in the share agreed upon. Since the Board has debated and settled these urgent matters, the Supreme President closes the meeting. JOSEPH DARAGO Supreme President, JOHN BENCZE Recording Secretary, JOSEPH SZALAY Director ALBERT B. ARI Director EMERY SIKET Director LOUIS VIZI Director Branch 376 Pittsburgh, Pa. On June the eleventh I was drafted into the army. In the army I was classified as a non­­combatant. I spent four days in New Cumberland, Pa., where I was issued my uniform. Then I was shipped to F. G. G. M. There I was put into a com­batant outfit, the Engr. Bn. Then I settled down for the army routine. In a couple of weeks I, and the rest of the boys, started our basic training. In sixteen weeks we finished it and we all were ready to be shipped out, perhaps across. Then one day six of us boys got word to pack up. We thought that the time had come. On October the sixteeenth, we bid farewell to the rest of the boys. We boarded the train that night and started our long trip across the states. We passed beautiful scenery which we knew we would not see for quite a while. Then one night we pulled to a Camp. There we learned that we were not going across as we had thought. We were shipped there to work in the copper mines. We hung around there for nine days, and then finally we were given our transfer to the enlisted reserve corps. Then on a Saturday morning we boarded a train again and left. We were all peeved, that we could not go across to do our bit in this struggle for freedom, but our officers gave us a talking. They said that we were needed here more for the mining of x. to provide our men with amunitions and guns. We finally got it into our heads that we could do just as much here as on the front. When we got here we were assigned to a mine and got down to the business of mining x. The mines here are not a beautiful thing to work in, they are hot boxes, not like the coal mines in Pennsylvania were I worked. I worked here three months and many times I thought that I would face machine gun fire then to continue to work in these mines. But I always thought of the boys who were doing the dirty work over there, so the next day I pitched in harder than ever. We were given ninety days to try out the mines; whoever wanted to go back to the army, could do so. If all the men who were sent here from the army were to go back, then there would not be any miners left to mine the x. Some went back but the majority stayed. WE DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE BOYS EMPTY HANDED, WE WILL STAY AND CONTINUE TO PUT OUT X. TO MAKE GUNS AND AMUNITIONS TO BLAST THE ENEMY SO THAT PEACE CAN REIGN ON THE WORLD AGAIN. FRANK BROGLEY Director ANDREW DOBOS Jr. Director STEPHEN LANG Director JOHN P. KELEMEN Director BERT KUN Director JULIUS MACKER Director Dr. JOSEPH H. PRINCE Director MOSES CSÖMÖR Director > Next month I will try to describe this fair city of Butte unail then, I remain, JOHN J. KORINTUS, Box 547, Butte, Montana. P. S. Anyone wishing to correspond with me please do so.
