Your Best Friend — The Verhovay The approaching Bowling Tournament is an emphatic reminder of Verhovay’s friendship for the young folks. The times certainly have passed when anyone could accuse the Association of catering only to the old folks. Ours is not a burial society any more but a youthful fraternity dedicated to the advancement of its entire membership. Bowling Tournament costs a lot of money of which only a fraction is covered by the entry fees. The balance, including the :ost of prizes and travelling expenses to be granted to the :eams, will be paid out of Verio vay’s pockets. But Verhovay’s sport-program is not limited to ;he annual Verhovay bowling ;ourneys. Actually, the program jegins at the branches to which special sport-grants are given, lased on membership increase, mabling the young folks to organize bowling and other sport earns and to purchase uniforms md other supplies. And let us íot forget the Manager’s share in this program, for membership increase is attained by his efforts and we feel that the sport-teams receiving financial assistance from the Association ought to find some way to occasionally express their appreciation of their manager’s efforts in their behalf. Needless to say, that the appreciation of the young folks is brought home to him the most effective way if he is given help in securing new members which, in turn, will benefit the team, too. Verhovay’s interest in the young people, however, goes far beyond the field of sports. Every year several college students benefit by Verhovay’s scholarship loans which are granted interestfree, with no time-limit set for repayment, to every student meeting the modest requirements. In World War II., and afterwards, Verhovay found many other opportunities for proving its concern for the youth of the Association. Verhovay’s immense material contribution to the war Verhovay Journal ______________________________________________PAGE 7 Grace Karling ReDortinsr ForB ranch 342 effort is a matter of record. In addition, thousands of American Hungarian dictionaries and correspondence books had been given to our servicemen enabling them to correspond ' with their parents. Nearly all 'of our branches remembered their servicemen with gifts in the holiday seasons and on other occasions. The portraits of our fallen heroes, presented to their bereaved families as gifts of the Association, are permanent symbols of Verhovay’s love for our young men. The gifts to the maimed veterans of the Association . . . But why go on? The point is: all this and more is Verhovay’s GIFT to the young folks . . . given free, over and above insurance protection at low cost . . . Surely, this is not just “insurance” ... it is friendship! Relief High-Lights — From The Official Reports Of The American Hungarian Relief, Inc. — $100,000 worth of powdered milk was purchased by the American Hungarian Relief, Inc., and shipped to Hungary by the “Wolverine State” freighter on April 30, 1947. This huge amount, paying for 260,000 pounds of the best powdered milk, was contributed by non-Hungarian Americans upon solicitation by the Emergency Food Collection. The American Hungarian Relief, Inc., succeeded in purchasing the milkpowder at cost price and in obtaining shipment free of charge. Premier Ferenc Nagy personally assumed the responsibility for the unprejudiced distribution of the precious commodity which will be used for the sole benefit of the Hungarian school children. A detailed report of the distribution will be made to the American Hungarian Relief, Inc., by the Hungarian government. $ $ $ 80 tons of flour, 1,600 sacks of 100 lb. each, were shipped to Hungary by the American Hungarian Relief, Inc., at the beginning of the year. The shipment has safely arrived and is now distributed among public kitchens, orphanages, old people’s homes and hospitals the receipts of which will be mailed directly to the main office of the American Hungarian Relief, Inc. V ^ V Pittsburghers For Relief! “Wonderful results were attained” — states the report of the A.H.R. Inc. — “by the two relief-chapters in Pittsburgh on Tag Day and a Dance held by the young people’s group. Net proceeds amounting to $2,141 were forwarded to the New York main office for general relief.” “Chapter 117, consisting mostly of professionals, business-people and returned veterans, has recently invited Fritz Reiner, world famous musician, director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, to conduct a prominent concert for the benefit of the American Hungarian Relief movement.” (Editor’s remark: The Maestro consented to donate his unsurpassable musical and organizing talents to this most daring undertaking of Pittsburgh’s Chapter 117. The Concert will be held in the greatest Auditorium of Pittsburgh. World famous stars will appear on the stage!) * * * Dezső Santay, noted Chicago manufacturer, and his friends do-Our Sweepstakes night was held Sunday April 20th at Witte Bowling Alleys. The winners were, Ruth Saillor for the women’s team (she really turned out to be a money bowler), and Joe Keresturi for the men’s team. We also had booby prizes, the women’s choice; John Henry tried for that but he didn’t succeed. After the bowling we went out to Franklin Park for chicken ad steak' dinners. Our weekly bowling is over, but I hope everyone will be with us next year and maybe some of their friends. * * * Our Match game with Milwaukee was held on April 26th. We all met at Anton Lachmans at four o’clock and awaited a bus that did not arrive. After calling the bus terminal at 4:15, we found the bus was held up because of a flat tire, so finally at 4:30 the bus arrived and we all piled in and it turned out to be a wonderful trip (although it didn’t stop often enough for certain passengers). We arrived at Millers Hall at 7:10 (better late than never) for a bite and a swallow. We then again boarded the bus to go to the Bowling Alleys, where Milwaukee Branch 428 were anxiously awaiting our arrival. The men proceeded to have their bowling balls cleaned (I think they cleaned off the lucky dirt that was left on from bowling with Branch 37). Our boys realy tried hard to win but with a bowler like J. Sinitz with his 592 and our Johnny O. with his flashing red tie what could one expect. Last but not least our women's team won. (but women always do).

The shoes were recently delivered and are now being shipped to Hungary. Thanks to Mr. Santay and his friends for their magnificent gesture! ❖ % ❖ Thus the work goes on. The Amercan Hungarian Relief, Inc., has made great pi-ogress. Many truly magnificent contributions had been forthcoming from oldstock Americans who have no connections whatsoever with the Hungarian people. The proverbial charitableness of Americans again has asserted itself. Surely, we Americans of Hungarian descent cannot fall below the American standard in assisting the people of our old country.

It must have been lovely,, for the man on myright was on his third helping when I finished my fjirst. The liquid refreshments really flowed freely, and there were many thirsty customers. We had nice music» and we danced and danced, even the women’s choice, John Henry, as he had no score to keep the following day. The attraction of the evening was the red tie worn by none other than our own Johnny O. He even stopped the traffic in Milwaukee. A very happy, satisfied and full bunch crawled into the bus for a trip back to Chicago. The trip back was slowed down by many necessary stops (if you know what I mean). With the change of time and our many stops we finally reached home at 5:15 in the morning. Thank you Milwaukee Branch 428 for a very enjoyable evening, so until next year the best to you ali. Anton Lachman, Branch Manager Grace Karljpg, reporting EVERYONE COULD BE-A SUCCESS — IF In an Eastern city there was a university professor who would undertake to make a success of every man who would agree to do exactly what the professor, a psychologist, tolij him. The fee was a percentage of the increased income during the first five years of instruction. In one case the fee amounted to $25,000. Yet the teacher told his pupils at the outset that there was nothing mysterious about his teaching, .but that it was simply the application of the laws of common sense. The fault does not lie, he said, in not knowing what to do. The fault lies in not doing what we know we should do — and the moment we do the things we know we should do, success ar- I rives on express train schedules. 1— R & R Magazine.
