1947 / Verhovay Journal

I PAGE 2 Cleveland, Ohio Br. 14--------------------------------Reporting A meeting Yawning through another meet­ing on Sunday, May 4th, we came to the conclusion that debates should be limited by the chair­man. For example, the debate on the American Hungarian Federa­tion could have been settled very nicely in about ten to 15 minutes instead of the two hours that were consumed. I wonder what the ladies thought . . .? It was announced that 97 new members were coming over from Lodge 50 of the Workingmen’s Sick Benefit Federation. It was decided to arrange for a welcom­ing and get-acquainted party held in their honor following the next meeting, in June. Manager Joseph M. Toth read the list of our sick people. There were 12 of them . . . No action yet was taken about moving the office downstairs. On the other hand, a radio announce­ment, that was heard by Joseph Barry and Frank Pinter, but not heard by President Joseph Szs­­lay and Organizer Joseph M. Toth, brought a hot exchange of opi­nions. A misunderstanding which was ironed out after another hour of prolonged debate . . . ho­­hum . . . We deeply regret to announce the death of Mrs. Joseph Smith, a member of Branch 14. We have learned that Messrs. Joseph Sza-lay and Frank Pinter are delegates to the United Hun­garian Societies, and that Local Organizer Joseph M. Toth was elected Secretary of that organi­zation. Bowling A match-game was rolled be­tween both the men and women of Youngstown and Branch 14, Cleveland, 0., on May 11th, start­ing at 3 P.M. The scores follow: Men's Teams Cleveland J.

Youngstown’s heavy hitter was Nemeth with 556 and Miglets second with 538. High single games were by Youngs­town’s Nemelji who hit 237 in the third game, and by Cleveland’s S. Szabó who rolled 235 also in the third. Cleveland won three straight games while the ladies Certain Inalienable Rights... (Continued from page 1) ples, I, as an American citizen, sadly deplore and firmly oppose all philosophies which maintain that economic stabilization and national contentment at a high level of living can be attained only by depriving some of my fellow-citizens of their rights with which they had been endow­ed by their Creator. All such phi­losophies are the bloody herit­ages of foreign countries whose tragic fate has proven their im­practicably. We have our own heritage. It is superior to that of any other country both in its conception and potentialities. Its substitu­tion by inferior “isms” is a be­trayal of America and a rejec­tion of the highest conception of human rights. The proponents of such poisonous philosphies have no understanding for humanitar­ian principles. Being mentally in­ferior they want to pull the na­tion down to their own low level of irresponsible thinking. They want me to sell my birthright for a mess of potash . . . I won’t sell . . . This nation has succeeded in developing a superior national philosophy at a time when the rest of the world failed. This nation still is cap­able to adopt its own philosophy to the naturally changed circum­stances without having to re­sort to the Asiatic or European tricks of despotism. The citizens of the United States, all equally endowed with certain inalienable rights among which are Life, Li­berty and the pursuit of Happi­­j ness, will find by democratic pro­cedure the way toward an ever higher * standard of living and an increasingly superior realization of all the potentialities of a free people. This I know, because I believe in the principles for which Ame­rica stands. These principles shall prevail. And they will prevail be­cause the mostly silent but always powerful masses of American ei- i tizens reiterate today the pledge j signed 171 years ago by our fore-fathers: “For the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Di­vine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, j our Fortunis and our sacred Honor.” from Youngstown won three from the Cleveland girls . . . Anne Pet­ro of Youngstown was high for 3 games with 469 and high single she also had a high single game of 222 in the second game. Cleve­land had Mary Bodnar, high for 3 games with 469 and high single in the second with 179. After the match-game we ad­journed next door to the bowling alley where luncheon was served by the ladies of our Bowling team, while Zsigmond Kadar, Gene Toth, Geo. Kontur and Jake ■Jacobs served the refreshments. Our official scorer was a left­hander, Joseph Oralik, a new member of Branch 14, and a fine sport and a real gentleman. After the luncheon Joseph M. Toth local ofganizer called upon Branch-President Joseph Szalay, first Vice-President of the As­sociation, who extended a cordial welcome to the guests from Youngstown. Joseph Nemes, Man­ager of District V, responded in behalf of the visitors. District Manager and Mrs. Michael Simo I and their daughter, also, attend­­: ed and Mr. Simo’s remai-ks I carried great weight. Then Mr. Blasko introduced the members of Youngstown’s Men’s team and Gene Toth the members of the j local men’s teams. Miss Anne Petro introduced the charming ladies from Youngstown and Mrs. Mary Toth responded likewise for [Cleveland. We enjoyed your visit I very much, Youngstown folks, ] and we are hoping for a return engagement next Octbber or No­vember. Thanks for coming! Mr. Simo assured us of a match game with Alliance next fall. We like these bowling get-to- [ gethers and we look forward to each event. We are bidding for the National Verhovay Tourna­ment and if we obtain it, we’ll try to make it the biggest and best ever held by the Verhovay. We have wonderful facilities here j in Cleveland. We liked our Editor’s editorial “Isten Hozta . . .” in the Hun­garian issue. In fact, a prominent Hungarian here in Cleveland claims having read it three times. It tells of things that only a Hungarian feels for his home­land. Exanimo Joseph J. Horvath e/o.

J., on May 31st at the Hungarian Cultural Home, honoring fellow-member Geza Dobossy, former president for 21 years of this branch. The presence of Supreme President John Bencze, who interrupted his trip to Bridgeport, Conn., to at­tend this affair, was a pleasant surprise to the many members as­sembled to witness the presen­tation of the Verhovay citation and the Silver Medal to “Acknow­ledged” Geza Dobossy. Branch-president Joseph Soos welcomed the members and guests and, then, editor Paul Acs spoke eloquently of the contributions of the former branch-president to the advancement of Verhovay fra­­ternalism, and extended in be­half of the branch-membership Verhovay Journal June 25, 1947 By Matga#et Vargo Jozik Branch 595 Holds Banquet To Climax Bowling Season A very pleasant evening was spent on May 8 by the bowlers of Branch 395 of McKeesport, when they met again on their regular Thursday bowling night to cli­max with a banquet their very successful first post-war bowling season. The evening began at 7 o’clock when the gang started congregat­ing at its business meeting place — the First Hungarian Reformed Church hall — where Helen Goy­­dan, Branch Manager, was assign­ing persons to the various cars which furnished transportation to the Club Belvedere of Hotel Le­wis, McKeesport’s newest and most elaborately furnished night club. Upon arrival the 28 persons in the party were ushered to a dim­ly lighted table, upon which, after a slight delay, a very generous and delicious steak dinner was served. After the excellent meal, most of those attending decided to participate in the dancing to the inviting tunes of the orchest­ra. We would award the jitter­­bugging prizes to Freddy (As­taire) Stipkovits and his sister Helen who was the capable chair­man of arrangements for the banquet; also to our Recording Secretary, Doris Ferry. A1 Mé­szár, bowling chairman during the past season, put on a smooth performance, too. Ethel Halas, who held and ma­nipulated the purse strings of our "kitty” is to be compliment­ed on the fine way in which she managed the money. Everybody was thoroughly satisfied. Not only was the big meal a testi­mony to this fact but also the plentiful refreshments which held out during the dancing and until the last participants in the party went home at two o’clock. The list of those attending in­cludes: John and Steve Benedek, Mr. and Mrs. James Benedek, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Debreczeni, Steve Dobos, Doris Ferry, Helen Goy­­dan, Ethel Halas, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jozik, Theresa Lesnansky, Mr. and Mrs. James Makrancy, Vilma Makrancy, A1 Meszar, He­len Mihalek, Wilson Movie, Bert Nagy, Irene Pasternak, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Poliak, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sabo, Albert Sipos, Fred and Helen Stipkovits. Now for a brief resumé of the bowling season. The season began on Septem­ber 19, 1946. The first half ended on December 12 and a holiday his congratulations and best wish­es to the honored fellow-member. The award was made by the Supreme President whose congrat­ulatory message was gratefully received by fellow-member Dobos­sy who solemnly promised to fur­ther, even as a private member, the progress of the association. Congratulatory greetings were conveyed by Ákos J. Burchardt, Emery Toth and John Fazekas. Following the meeting- refresh­ments were served by the branch. — The Verhovay Journal extends its congratulations and best wish­es to “Acknowledged” fellow­­member Geza Dobossy. May he enjoy the fellowship and confi­dence of his friends and fellow­­members for many years to come! recess was taken. Four teams, consisting of a total of 31 bowl­ers, were organized, with A1 Me­szar, Albert Sabo, Steve Poliak and James Benedek appointed as captains by the then president, Albert Jozik. Only a few of the bowlers, due to sufficiently good reasons, dropped out for the second half — January 9 to April 17. How­ever, by a vote of the bowlers, these persons were granted per­mission to continue their pay­ments into the banquet fund and thus were eligible to attend. Ano­ther ruling was agreed upon to invite the non-bowling husbands and wives of the bowlers, provid­ed they paid the amount contri­buted by the regular bowlers into the kitty. During the season Al Sabo led the men in the highest average — 141.2 and Fred Stipkovits with the score — 228. Among the girls, Betty Mak­rancy had the highest average — 96.4; while Helen Stipkovits scored the highest in one game — 169 pins. Negotiations have already been made* for alleys at an earlier hour than was available last season. It is hoped that the enthusiasm displayed during the first post­war bowling season of Branch 395 will continue and expand for the coming season in the fall. All members are urged to attend the meeting which will be called by the Branch Manager to discuss plans for bowling.
