CITATION PRESENTATION AT TRENTON BRANCH NO. 13 On Sunday, November 3rd, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon a special meeting was held by Verhovay Branch No. 13, at which time seven of its members, the “old guard.’’ received citations for their faithful service to our Association. The very well attended session was called to order by President Frank Radvany, who greeted and paid special tribute to the seven members, on behalf of the membership of the Branch and personally as president. Then, with words of praise he turned the meeting over to John Megules, honorary president, one of the seven to be honored. Member Megules in his acceptance of the chairmanship of the meeting reiterated the fact that as a sick man he could not resist this occasion to accept, his reward and was overwhelmingly happy that he was again among his old friends. In a brief address outlining his 39 year membership he pointed out the struggles and hardships which had to be endured to lay a permanent and stabile foundation of Branch No. 13 and the happiness he enjoys knowing our association has been eagerly accepted by the younger generations. In closing he thanked the members of the “old guard” and the present and past officials of the branch for their fine work and asked that they continue their work for progress. Due to his weakness he requested member Radvany to continue presiding over the special session. President Radvany called upon Frank Cher, district manager who very appropriately expressed his good wishes thanking the honored men for their sincere support in establishing Verhovay life in Trenton and their assistance in encouraging new members. Morris Gerenday, retired editor of the Jersey Herald followed with warm praise briefing on his experiences with them and the happiness he personally received with this association. Nicholas Gerenday, present editor of the paper likewise expressed his good wishes and assured the association of his continued assistance to inform the general public of the fraternalism practiced by our association. John A. Baky, president of Verhovay American Branch No. 417, with warm praise to the seven honored brothers, conveyed the good wishes of his branch and expressed the wish that he too some day may qualify to receive such a citation. Albert B. Ari, vice-president of our National Body in an address outlining the growth of our association and its part which such members as these honored undertook to build a better and finer edifice of fraternalism among men so that they could in turn bestow this upon their children, presented each member with their official citation of faithful service with the gratitude of our entire Verhovay membership. He then in the following order: John Megules, John Nemeth, Frank Molnár. Frank Vereb, Alexander Virok, Charles Pentek and Charles Nemes, pinned upon the bosom of these old guards the silver emblem of recognition to that of the rank of “acknowledged member.” With the placing of each medalion he clasped the hands of each with the real warmth of Verhovay fraternalism and again expressed the gratitude of the National Officers and the Members of the Board of Directors. Each member in turn with the warmness of their hearts accepted these citations and asked Vice-President Ari, to convey their personal appreciation to our association. The most prevalent subject in the acknowledgment of each honored member was the compliment to Verhovay for their thoughtfulness. Immediately following President Radvany again thanked our association and requested all including former military men of the Branch to partake in refreshments as an added tribute to those honored today. It was a pleasure to see both young and old wrapped within the warmness of Verhovay brotherhood. (A. B. A.)

CHICAGO BRANCH 503 At a reecnt meeting of this branch an election was held and the following are the officers for the coming year: Joseph Hodits, President; John Stoika, Vice- President; Frank Balogh, Senior Secretary; Helen Csontos, Junior Secretary; Auditing Committee, Louis Puskarits, Joseph Hodits (Melvina Avenue), and Anton Kovács. The best of wishes to these new officers. DECEMBER 7th will be observed by this branch by sponsoring the long-awaited VETERANS’ BANQUET. A souvenir booklet, specially designed, in Magyar tone, is under preparation, which we believe, will be unlike that any other organization has published. There will be a special colored cover page, done by member Paul Szabady. The sou- 1 venir book also will have the picture of each of the servicemen and a biographical sketch of each of these men. We feel that it will be a worthwhile venture, for it is made not for profit, but for historical value, to endeavor to record the deeds of our servicemen. This banquet will be at NORTHWEST HALL, North Avenue and Western. Secretary Balogh and the committee are preparing for holding a banquet in true Magyar fashion. We shall be able to give a more complete report in the next issue. SUPREME AUDITOR JOHN SABO, one of the organizers and the treasurer of the “600,000 shoes for Hungary'’ movement, has proven himself by his part in the activities of Chapter 117, of the American Hungarian Relief, Inc., an excellent representative of the young Magyar American and, as such, a great asset to the Verhovay. Men, inspired by the ideals of fraternalism and humanitarianism and proud of their Magyar heritage, are needed in both the field and the Home Office. Since assuming his position as Supreme Auditor, John has represented the Association on many occasions, in various parts of the country, and his enthusiasm, sincerity, agility and spontaneous friendliness have made deep impressions everywhere. The last Convention showed sound judgment, indeed, when electing him an executive officer of the Association from the rank and file of the second generation membership. The “600,000' shoes for Hungary” movement is just an example of what American born descendants of first generation Verhovayans are capable of accomplishing. Branch 503 derives much encouragement as to the future of the Verhovay and the cause of the Magyar people, from, the fine example of leadership afforded by Page 3 Youngest Member of Cairnbrook Branch Edward George Barta Little Edward George Baita, son of George Barta, and his wife, the former Minnie Ernst, joined the Verhovay at the tender age of a month and a half. He was born on August 9, 1946 and became a member of Branch 517 shortly after his parents had been received into the rank and, file of that branch by manager Mrs. Louis Udvari. Congratulations to the youngest addition to Branch 517 and the proud parents to whom a hearty welcome is extended by the membership of the Verhovay! our Supreme Auditor, Johnnie Sabo.
