October 17, 1951 Verhovay BRANCH 164 — CHICAGO, ILL By: ANDREW JANOVICS, Manager SENTINEL Journal PAGE 15 POWER CITY NEWS SPRINGDALE, PA. AND VICINITY by Edward A. Mattie Branch 296 Hello, Fellow Verhovayans! I would like to let you know that at our September meeting a discussion was held about arranging a system that if one of our members becomes seriously ill and needs blood donors, we would have ready a list, of people we could call upon. After all, none of us know when this need might arise and it certainly would be a relief to know that blooddonors are available. We thought it would be wonderful if it could be arranged to have not only our members but all Hungarian Americans to sign up their willingness in this cause and it would be available not only to Verhovayans but to all who need it. Anyone who wishes to help us in this cause and would like to add their names to our list as a blood donor who Would be on call when the need arises, kindly contact me or any other of our branch officials. It grieves me to report the death of our members, MARTON CSANYI, who went to his eternal rest Seotember 8th, 1951. His funeral was Monday, September 10th from the McKenzie Funenbl Home, Oak Forest, Illinois. To his bereaved widow, Mrs. Csanyi, and his daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. J. Fairfield, we extend Our deepest sympathy. May he rest in peace! Our bowling teams are progressing .very nicely. On opening night Frank Földi and Joe Exner, Jr., had the honor of throwing the first two balls. Now, after a month of bowling, and having the honor of being in first, nlace in averages, is William Feifar. Our members, Mr. and Mrs. William Liner, are the proud parents of a new baby girl, Christine Irma Liner, who was bom September 4th. Many of you, I am sure, can remember Betty Liner at our Christmas party .with her charming children; the daughters in their darling plaid hoop skirts and pinafores. Well, Betty can still use her urge to continue dressing girls in sugh a cute manner as she is now the proud mother of another little girl. The Liner’s now have three girls and one boy and yet our blond Betty can still pass off as one of Chicago’s prettiest models. Congratulations! — Mr. and Mrs. William Liner. Wedding bells are ringing December 1, 1051, for Fred Krueger, who is the grandson of our founder member, Szabó Pál. He will take as his lovely bride, Noreen Constantine. The, wedding is to be held at 10:00 A. M., December 1, 1951, at the St. Monica Church, 5115 W. MontClare Ave., Chicago, 111. All Verhovay Members Welcome! Our dancing group has a busy schedule this month. They have four guest appearances to make. Sunday they appeared at the Vintage Festival given by the Hungarian American Cultural Club. They performed their dance, the Kör Magyar, and then had a great deal of fun catching the culprits who stole the grapes, etc. The person catching the most “thieves’- came out with a very nice prize. The dancing group was also treated to good food ‘and had a nice time. On October 6th, they dance at the Peoples Auditorium in an international contest of folk dancing. As this is being written before that date, I cannot say how they came out but we hope they will capture! one of the first prizes. After their performance they will rush to the Northwest Hall where bi’anch 503 is holding their grape festival and will: perform for the guests there. To those who have not as yet seen them perform and to all of you who would like to see them perform again, we extend a cordial invitation to come to our big Fall Dance, November 3rd, and see this young people’s group in their colorful costumes perform the “Kör Magyar.” Yes, don’t forget, November 3rd, it’s just around the corner; creeping up on us. If you have not already purchased your tickets do so at once and, be sure to mark this on your calendar in heavy pencil as a date you must not forget. The dance will' be in the Rainbow Hall at 333 W. North Ave. I will have to close now and until our next friendly chat, I bid you adieu. With best wishes, I remain Sincerely, ANDREW JANOVICS 915 S. Independence Blvd. Chicago 24, Illinois CONVENTION DELEGATES FETED On Thursday, September 13th, the Convention Delegates and their guests were treated to a chicken dinner at the Verhovay Home'of Branch 296. The branch officers thought chat after the delegates had listened to several days of speech making, they, would appreciate an informal supper without having to listen to some speakers strain their vocal chords. But on their way from Pittsburgh someone cooked up the bright idea of having one of those testimonials for some newspaperman. As we found out, the man so honored was Alexander Gondos, the oldest and still active Hungarian newspaper writer in this country whose weekly articles appear in a dozen or so Hungarian daily and weekly newspapers. Our bi’anch President, acting as host in behalf of Branch 296, spoke a few words of welcome. (He was asked to make it short!) Everyone seemed to have a very enjoyable time. The music was furnished by Joe Baldwin. Many sincere thanks to those who donated to our Disabled Members’ Fund! CONGRATULATIONS! Congratulations to our National Secretary, Mr. Coloman Revesz, upon his election to the Board of Directors of the National Fraternal Congress of America in Chicago. To my best knowledge, this is the first time that) an officer of the Verhovay, or any Other fraternal society of Hungarian origin for that matter, has been so honored by the fraternal societies of America. Mr. Revesz is also the 1951 president of the Pennsylvania Fraternal Congress. Verhovayans should be proud of Mr. Revesz for having the Stature and iriterest for being active in such worthy organizations. * ¥ * TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT VERHOVAY FRTERNAL LIFE INSURANCE Several vacancies in the branch offices were filled during the regular1 Jneeting in September.

They complain of oppression, speculation and pernicious influences of accumulated wealth. They cry out loudly against ail banks and corporations and by all means by which small capitalists become united in order to produce important and beneficial results. They carry on mad hostility against all established institutions. They would choke the foundations of all industry and dry all streams. In a country of unbounded liberty, they clamour against oppression. In ,a country where property is more evenly divided than anywhere else, they rend the air shouting agrarian doctrines. In a country where the- wages of labour are high beyond parallel, they would teach the labourer he is but an oppressed slave. Sir, what can such men want? What do they mean? They mean nothing, Sir, but to enjoy the fruits of another man’s labour. —Daniel Webster, In the U. S. Senate, 183*. REINSTATEMENTS — AUG. 31, 1951 SENIOR ORDER.
