Verhovayak Lapja, 1944 (27. évfolyam, 1-52. szám)

1944-01-13 / 2. szám

January 13, 1944 lovich and Peanette Horvath Parsons join us in the league next season. We are still aiming high to enter the Beacon Recreation, and after the averages set up this year, we may just be able to make it by the skin of our teeth. The 429-ers are hoping very much, that the war ends this year, particularly before Sep­tember, so that our boys can get into a league and pile up enough weeks so that sufficient men’s and women’s leagues will be eligible by March, 1945 for the Second Annual Bowling Tourna­ment of the Verhovay F. I. A. How about getting some other women’s teams scores — or aren’t there any this year? South Bend is bound to have at least two teams — what about Youngs­town, Chicago and Milwaukee? Any women bowling in the east — that is, besides duck pins? We sure would appreciate reading some other women’s scores ■— how about it, ladies?-v-November9th, 1943 Verhovay Br. 20 Total Centnar 170133 132 435 Pocza 177145 135 457 Gyure 146135 140 421 Vendely 196180 190 566 Walters 212189 171 572 Total 901782 768 2451 Handicap 6 6 6 Gr.

THE HOMESTEAD MERRY-GO-ROUND------------------------ BRANCH 430 -----------------------­It did not re­­quire much thought nor was it necessary to p r e meditate to any great length to score the past year, 1 9 4 3, as one of the poor­est sport years experienced b y Verhovay in quite a few years. The desire was not there, the majority of the youth had “gone to war,” efficient organizing was to some extent missing and many were preoccupied in defense plants and other establishments not as patriotic. It will take sometime for the sports move­ment to get under way at Ver­hovay, and I cannot see any­thing big happening until late in ’45 or the Spring of 1946. Two cases of bowlingitis were reported recently, and the two outbreaks occured at Fairport Harbor, Ohio and East Chicago, Indiana. The epidemic, I am afraid, will not spread to other towns and hamlets, but will re­main within the confine of the Verhovay bastions mentioned. PITTSBURGH SCENES: The kids take over! That, my friends, could have been very easily the headline of the De­cember 27th meeting and Xmas Party of the Hungarian Profes­sional Society held at the YMCA Headquarters in Oakland, Pitts­burgh. Children of all dimen­sions and appearances came out in full force to see Santa Claus and, no doubt, inquire as to why certain gifts ordered in advance from him failed to arrive. Yes, it was a busy evening for Santa Claus, and I am told it was also a little uncomfortable what with the heavy wrappings and huge white beard. Not only where the children remembered by the So­ciety’s Santa Claus, but also those members who are today serving in Uncle Sam’s Armed Forces. They were all remem­bered with a useful gift. MILITARY VIEWS: An old friend of ours, Cap­tain L. T. Sabow, was in town for several weeks. One of my good friends met Doc downtown one day and had a nice talk with him. The good Captain is sta­tioned at McDill Field, Florida . . . Met the Dargo boys, Bert and Bill, at Church during the holidays. It is Pfc. Bert Dargo, and he is stationed at Camp At­­terbury, Indiana, and Staff Sgt. Bill Dargo who was at Keesler Field, but has been transferred to Fort George G. Meade, a camp with which I am very well acquainted. The boys looked quite well and both reflected their enjoyment of Army life. Brother Pete is at a Camp down South, while Brother Steve is overseas. They are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Dargo of Bellwood, Terrace, Pa. ... It was also my good fortune to meet up with a hard-hitting member of the 34th Tank Bat­talion, and Armored Force, Pfc. Michael Kurucz. Mike is now satationed at Indiantown Gap, Penna, and is awaiting an in­teresting assignement Bert BY P.F.C. WILLIAM C. KOHUT Kondis, Sp. 3/C, although now an honored guest in the U. S. Navy still handles the mail which should lessen his home-sickness. He is now at the USNRS in New Orleans ... A nice letter came in from an old friend, Steve Szabó formerly of McClure St., Munhall, who is now stationed overseas in Eng­land with the Quartermaster Corps. His letter written in Hun­garian conveyed his good wishes for the Xmas and New Year’s holidays—he wrote the trip over­seas was uneventful and all ar­rived safely in England . . . Our school marm, Steve Black, was home on a three day pass dur­ing Xmas. A holiday that he really did enjoy—an item in his letter calls to mind that the Hungarian Professional Society did itself proud when it sent out to its members in the Armed Forces a letter carrying the signatures of all the members back home. This was indeed a very fine gesture—one that real­ly “hits home” as a member of the military would say . . . Our friend Mike Kontra is some­where in North Africa right now —and probably on a date. I don’t know whether or not he’s met up with Johnny Popely, but he should attempt it. You can’t tell, they might be right next door to one another and not even know it . . . The Homestead District is quite fortunate in be­ing able to lay claim to a one­­man USO—A1 Rapolti. A1 does get around and he knows what’s going on not only at home, but also amongst the boys at various camps throughout the land. Al’s one good man and performs a good service . . . The Ladányi Brothers, Sgt. Zig and Coxwain Ernie were both home for the holidays . . . Member Joe Hasak, husband of Emma Vargyas Ha­sak, departed for the Army on Thursday evening, January 6th. Joe if you will recall was a star performer on both the basket­ball court as well as on the base­ball and softball field. Lot’s of luck, Joe! . . . Received a nice letter from Lou Pastor now sta­tioned in Illinois—writes that life is anything but a bowl of cherries at Camp Grant, and much hard work remains to be done—the “medics” is a rugged organization and requires much hiking and training. Best of luck to you, Lou! . . . Home on pre- Christmas furloughs were Fran­kie Kish, Stevie Somiak, Ted Walick, Bill Hovan and “Bun­dy” Katona, brother of Geza Katona, hardworking scoutmas­ter and churchman. They all complained the quick evapora­tion of their allotted days—but I guess that’s the way it seems to all of us ... At a scout meet­ing held several weeks ago in the hall of the Hungarian Re­formed Church, Munhall, and conducted by Scoutmaster Geza Katona, an unique late supper was served to many of the scouts and friends in attendance —however, the boys just would not go for the meal and there lies the tale. It consisted of K and C rations, an up-the-moun­­tainside diet. The C ration was a tough bar covered by a wrap­per which warned, “good for 500 calories and not to be eaten in less than a half-hour.” . . , S/Sgt. Bert A. Nagy is still hang­ing cut at Decatur, Alabama— likes the cooking down that way . . . Capt. Jos. Doczy is located at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. . . . Pfc. George Bockoras is down where "the cotton and the taters grow”—Camp Livingston —nice country if you like it . . , Captain Steve Nemeth had the Xmas weekend off from desert maneuvers and really had a bang-up time at a party he held for his fellow officers and their wives—you are doing alright, Pista—planning on getting into the insurance business? . . . Our good friend, Pvt. John Sabo, US Marine, writes about the hot weather down at Parris Island­­says it puts him in mind of the 4th of July—and at Xmas time. Loads of good wishes and suc­cess, John! ODDITIES FROM EVERYWHERE If it comes to predicting the future and events to come, I’ll nominate our good friend, A1 Steinmetz from California. To him rightfully belongs this uni­que honor because his prognas­­tications which appeared in the January 14th, 1943, issue of the Journal just about became 100 per cent realities. He predicted the gas and tire rationing along with practically every food item. Then he said clothing might be rationed but he didn’t think so because of wool shipments from Australia. He predicted that the War would not end in 1943 but that Germany would be K O’d completely in ’44. Then he told of Italy turning against the Axis, and foretold the savage bombing of Italy and Germany, including Berlin and other Ger­man cities. His prediction of Ru­mania’s defeat is almost on schedule with Russia but a few miles from her frontiers. — Al’s statements about Europe being invaded in 1943, and the necessity of winning all of North Africa a task to consume three to nine months, as well as the chance of a German Dunkirk, are really masterful. Why not dig up this copy from January 14th, 1943, and see just how accurate A1 was in his predictions? * * * I am quite frank in stating that the newly-elected officers of the Verhovay will enjoy the greatest cooperation yet achieved amongst one another, a condition which has been lacking in pre­vious administrations. The feeling of friendship and close coopera­tion among our leaders is a good sign, one which spells of much progress and success to cur or­ganization for the next four years. * * * I am deeply appreciative of the several hundred or more Xmas and New Year greetings received by 'me during the past holiday seasons. Many of the greetings were unique in com­position and style. I hope I win be able to greet my friends from home in 1944!
