The editor of this Journal, a one-time insurance agent, trained by one of the finest insurance companies in the country and licensed by the State of Pennsylvania after successfully passing a stiff examinatiod, is well aware of the problems of our field-workers, for he, too, started to, work for the Verhovay as a local organizer. An editor of a fraternal magazine can do his work successfully only if he can write both, articles and applications. The former requires a higher than average insurance education, the latter ability to put education into practice. Naturally, the Journal being read by the entire membership, not all the space can be devoted to subjects that are of interest only to managers and organizers. . Nevertheless, wc attempt to pack into the issues appearing during each and every year as much practical information as would equip an alert manager with almost all the answers. Our District Managers, on the other hand, render invaluable service by personally training the branch-managers and local organizers. By regularly visiting the manager and his branch and making the rounds for new members with him, the manager receives on the spot training with demonstrations of how the job is done. Our District Managers are progressive people and keep on studying, striving for higher insurance education. Frank Cher already had earned his Fraternal Insurance Counsellor degree, Victor Austerlitz and others are working towards attaining this distinction. If our managers and organizers make use of the hand-books that had been and will be provided for them, read the Journal and accept the assistance of our District Managers, they will be AS WELL EQUIPPED AS ANY INSURANCE AGENT! The Ferret is correct in writing about the desirability of sectional meetings with lectures by Home officials and District Managers. The idea, however, is not new. Such meetings were held quite regularly in the past and their advantages were recognized. Still, this practice was discontinued by the National Convention for reasons kne.wn to the delegates of that particular assembly. We felt that these remarks were called fo.r by the plea of our Ferret: “How about fitting us for the job?” We feel that we are doing as much as possible under the conditions. But—as is the case in any kind of training—as much depends on the trainee as the trainer. Not even Heifetz can teach an unwilling pupil how to play the violin, while the ambitious person will go out of his way to acquire knowledge and practice. We can give the best advice and suggest the most excellent methods, success still depends on the manager and organizer. In conclusion, we like to offer this thought: nothing can really handicap a person who wants to KNOW and to DO! The Ferret’s article is a clear indication of her (hirst for more knowledge and practice in the promotional field.

The Verhovay has two branches in Allentown, an important industrial city right at the southern end of the eastern-Pennsvlvania coalbelt, near the great steel centre of Bethlehem, Pa. Branch 90, the larger of the two, 400 members strong, is managed by Coloman Kocsis who joined the Association at this branch in October, 1933, was elected comptroller at the end of the same year serving in this capacity until 1937. From then on until the end of 1939 he acted as manager of the Juvenile department from 1941 to 1943 as branch-treasurer and since then as manager of both, the Senior and the Juvenile Department. He has 60 new members to his credit of whom 36 were secured during the last three years. Mr. Kocsis was born at Szombathely, Vas county, Hungary, on October 15, 1892. He married the former Irene Szűkíts at Szentgotthart, Hungary, on October 21, 1921. A year later, on November 22, 1922, the young couple entered the United States. For more than 17 years he worked for the American Steel and Wire Company and, as a grainer, for the last four years for the Mack Manufacturing Co. Mr. and Mrs. Kocsis have two sons, both veterans of World War II. R. M. 3/C Frank Coloman, Jr., 21, served for 2% years with the U.S. Navy on a submarine and spent a year of extremely heavy fighting i nthe northwest Pacific theatre of war, near Japan. He holds the Asiatic Pacific ribbon with one star, the Philippine Liberation ribbon with one star and the Submarine Combat pin with three stars. His brother, Louis, 19, served with the Merchant Marine, made two round trips to Europe aboard a Red Cross Hospital Ship returning wounded soldiers to the States. He serves with the U.S. Army Information Bureau since Dec. 15, 1945. CORRECTION. PLEASE! The June 12, 1946 issue of the English Journal contains an article entitled, VERHOVAY VETERANS HONORED, In which is fittingly described the banquet and dance held in honor of its returned servicemen by Branch 395, McKeesport, Pa. In listing the veterans, the name of John Benedek was unintentionally—and regrettably — omitted because of a printer’s error. Mr. Benedek served his country well and is again loyally and actively taking part in Branch 395 meetings and affairs. Fraternally, Albert J. Jozik, Pres. Branch 395. CORRECTION Several regrettable errors occurred in our article, “LET’S FOUND AN AMERICAN INSTITUTE IN HUNGARY,’’ published in the July 10th issue of the Journal. The name of PROF. EUGENE \ DÉVAI having been misspell- i ed to read Révai we wish to J call the attention of our read-| ers to the correct spelling of | his name which is DÉVAI. 1 Wc hope that our apologies! for this error will be gra-j ciously accepted by Prof. De-1 vai and the readers of the | Journal. THE EDITOR. I gen County $2500-3000. (Males only.) It is hoped that our fellowmembers, especially veterans, will avail themselves of these opportunities. Be sure to write to, or call in person, for application forms and file them before August 15 th, 1946! Hope for Hay-Fever Victims Relief from such allergies as hay fever, hives and asthma, toxic reactions to certain types of food, serums and even drugs like penicillin is promised by a new drug, benadryl, which has passed its clinical tests at the Mayo Clinic. There the cases of more than three hundred patients under treatment with this agent have been recorded. Although benadryl may not entirely cure, it is likened to insulin,which enables the diabetic patient to continue his way of life in nearly normal fashion. The records show that seventy five per cent of the hay fever and asthma victims thus treated were benefited. The case is cited of a small boy suffering from a kidney disease (nephrosis). The necessary injections of plasma were invariably accompanied by violent eruptions of hives all over the body, until capsules of benadryl controlled the hives and permitted the physicians to cure the nephrosis. In the case of one suffering from multiple allergies, tracking down .the separate causative agents has in the past been a tedious task. At the Mayo Clinic a patient thus afflicted got complete relief by the administration of only three hundred milligrams of benadryl. Announcement is made that this drug will soon be distributed to physicians for general use. The exact amount to be prescribed is still a matter for physicians to determine through a general knowledge of their patients, since too large a dose may temporarily produce disagreeable effects.
