1946 / Verhovay Journal
October 9, 1946 LET TRUTH BE UNCONFINED CHICAGO BRANCH 503 Education is our only political safety. Outside of this ark all is deluge. ’ H. Mann It was a source of great pleasure to read in July 15th issue of THE COLUMNS, published at Fairmont State College, that Mrs. Margaret Vargo Jozik (Joczik) was the recipient of a Bachelor of Arts Degree, in Education. It was determination that finally saw Margaret get her degree, for which she worked so diligently. Her degree was almost within her grasp when, several years ago, she had to leave school due to illness. Last winter she attended the University of Pittsburgh and then returned to her old school, Fairmont State College, for the final 6 hours of credit and the degree. — Bachelor of Arts in Education — with honor. Margaret, with five others in the entire college, was pledged into Kappa Delta Pi, national honorary education society for those of exceptionally good scholastic achievements. And so, in the person of Mrs. Margaret Vargo Jozik, we have another talented young American-Hungarian women in the ranks of the teachers of our United States. Congratulations to Margaret!

In conclusion he extended his thanks to the guests for attending the dedication cf the Home, to the fellow-members who took part in the arrangements, and to all who appeared on the program. THE DANCE.--Tjhe people of Columbus may be used to having a grand time whenever they meet and take the succes of such affairs for granted. Not so the out-of-town guests who were unanimous in acclaiming this the most enjoyable dance they ever attended._ The hospitality of the people of Columbus, their kindness and their happy friendlinesss left the guest with the most enchanting memories. No one was left alone, no one was without friends, no one was bored for a second. The Columbus people are masters in the art of entertaining, Not a single discordant note disturbed the perfect harmony of this event. Indeed, the people of Columbus, and among them our own Verhovay folks, are DIFFERENT . . . They are different in that they can work togetherhelp one another, and enjoy themselves together ... In such a community life can be happy, people feel drawn to each other and can love one another . . . And that is why the members of Branch 129 succeeded in their endeavours ... A few years ago they decided to increase the membership of their branch so as to attain District status and they sue ceded! Then they decided to purchase a Home for the promotion of American Hungarian culture and Verhovay fraternalism and they — succeeded. Whatever plans they have for the future, they will succeed again and again, because they have learned how to make fraternalism work. And that is why we call the dedication of our Columbus Home — a triumph of Verhovay fraternalism. Chicago on July 19th but were insistent that they leave that same night for Portland, Oregon, and Los Angeles, California. They visited with the Baloghs, and the Huzianyi company on north Avers Avenue. It is hoped that the next time Bill and Betty come to the Windy City they will remain longer—despite the fact that the wild and wooly West beckons to all young couples. Supreme Auditor John Szabó was in Chicago recently, as was Supreme Treasurer Szalanczy. Johnny visited with the Baloghs, where he stayed and enjoyed wonderful Magyar hospitality. The Baloghs and John then visited with Stephen Huzianyi on Sept. 7th and were entertained with Magyar music—hallgató, csárdás and sláger music on re- CQrds. We certainly have a young, ambitious Verhovayan in the person of John Szabó and if we had many more like him then the load would not be so great for the second generation leaders. Of great interests was a mimeogranhed sheet which John left in Chicago — “600,000 Shoes for Hungary.” That indeed is a noble gesture. Says the first paragraoh of this noteworthy letter: “We I realize that your parents already contributed much to relatives, friends and the general relief fund. But what have we, their I children, done to share the burden of providing speedy aid and relief to our unfortunate Magyar brethren, especially to those who have no relatives or friends . in this country.” That, my friends, is the gist of 1 the entire letter. If only several hundred young American Hungarians would reed this letter, j go all out to aid their unfortunate brethren in Hungary, then jwe could safely say that our duty ' was done. Your scribe hopes earnestly that this worthy plan will be publicized more fully. A word of thanks are due the Organizing Committee, in the ! persons of Julius J. Lenart. Bányácsky Géza (Gay B. Banes) and John Sabo. More power to your I splendid work! William Kohut Ms the Secretary. We hope that the meeting on September 11th, held at the Verhovay Home Office Building, was a great success. Wednesday Sept. 18, 1946 A person’s character is but half formed till after wedlock. —C. Simmons. CARL HÓDÍTS, 2342 W. Walton Street, entered the bonds of matrimony with Miss Marcella Pohlman. The bride is from Paris, Missouri; however, it is of interest how they met. Both Carl and Marcela were employed in the nationaly-known restaurant, HARVEY RESTAURANT, at Chicago’s Union Station. Marcela was then transferred to Santa Ee, New MexVerhovay Journal ico, Carl going with her, later returning to Chicago. When he had his vacation this summer he took a trip to Santa Fee and Marcella could not but say only “yes’’. They were married at St. Francis Cathedral, Santa Fe, New Mexico, on August 8th. Branch 503 extends its sincere congratulations to the newlyweds! (Incidentally, Marcella is also now a Verhovay member of our branch.) Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pinter EDWARD PINTER recently was married to Miss Emily Zajaczek on September 8th, at Holy Innocents Church, Armour and Superior Streets. Rev.
