AND NEWS 1 VICINITY by Edward A. Mattie Branch 296 Not much news this month. The latest on the construction of the new home is that it still has not been completed. At this point the plastering is completed and much of the finishing work remains to be done. It is rather certain, however, that the building wdll be occupied sometime this month. In that event, all the members will be notified by mail. ❖ * The regular branch meetings are held EVERY SECOND SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH a 4:00 P. M. in the Verhovay Home. Members are urged to attend these meetings. * if The predominating news last month was the number of deaths. Although only one was a Verhovay member, the others wjere close relatives of members. The members of branch 296 extend their deepest sympathies to the family of Wiliam Kay whose father passed away on January 6, to Mrs. Gabriel Bodick whose husband passed on after a lingering illness, to the Sam Toth family upon the passing of his fatherin-law Alex Garda, and to Walter Wesoloski and family upon the death of his mother on January 25. On January 25, the members of branch 296 were deeply saddened by the sudden death of Mrs. Michael Payer. Her passing is indeed a de- i finite loss to Branch 296, for, no matter what the activity was, or whatever work was to be done, she always had an active interest in it and never failed to do more than her share. Her interest and enthusiasm will long live in the hearts of those who knew her. Our very sincerest condolences to her daughter and family, Mrs. Helen Pastierik. MISCELLANEOUS: Congratulations to Field Supervisor and Mrs. Gus Nagy on the birth of their daughter, to Mr. and Mrs. James Noviekoff also on the birth of a daughter. The branch, steward, Melvin “Bus” Mathabel, celebrated his birthday wth a party on January 29. Nick Polombo is still sporting a cast on his leg from a fall that occurred last June. Thirty, which in newspaper parlance means the end (of this month’s column).

FORTY AND EIGHT NEW YORK'S NEWS AND VIEWS One of the nicest things to ever happen to us was the news that the bowling tournament is to be held in this great and fabulous city of ours! To say we Verhovayans of New York are delighted that we are to be hosts to such wonderful people would be an understatement! I’m sure the whole East Coast shares our enthusiasm. To be able to return the many courtesies fellow members in other cities, extended to our teams and to make new friends is something we are all looking forward to. I just hope each; and everyone of you will come. It’s going to be a long and grand week §nd, and certainly one no one would voluntarily miss! NEW YORK •— just the sound of it has always spelled magic for a lot of us, and that it is a wonderland no one can deny. So please get your teams lined up, ladies get your best chapeaux out; arrange for the baby sitters; and let’s all join in the fun! Since so many of us housefraus have not been able to attend the other affairs, we’re surely hepped up on this one. Our many friénds in New Jersey and Pennsylvania must be looking toward the great event, even as much as we at Branch 48. There must be branches in Comnecticut too that would like to be in on ali the fun. Our committees are working like real eager beavers Their aim is to make this the best tournament ever, and, surely with so many sages working together the results are bound to be stupendous. We are certain you’ll like being here, and we’re going to enjoy having you here with us. Don’t let ANYTHING keep you away from this great, event. It’s a chance of a life time, the golden opportunity, and, since it only knocks once, RUN, FLY, DRIVE or come BY BUS. JUST GET HERE! I do hope everyone is getting on the ball, and getting all the boosters together for the album. Should any of our friends want to send some in, call Joe Toma, A1 Ibos or myae f. We shall be more than glad to give you more details. It’s only one dollar and you will be helping all of us besides having the pleasure of seeing your name in print. ■Tust a few lines now abort the membership drive of which I shall write more at a later date: Our faithful and ever hard working Joe Toma is working “like mad” trying to swell our membership. I do sincerely hope that any of you or your friends that know of us, but do not as yet belong to our branch, will take advantage of the Macker-Vizi campaign and call Joe to tell him you’d like to join us. He will gladly provide you with all the necessary information. Listen kids, we are planning great things for our branch this year. We must get hep and square and really buckle down and get to work. For a branch our size, with a city like ours, our branch since the war has been much too quiet. NOW IS THE TIME to pull it out of it’s doldrums. The opportunity is on hand. With willing workers and a little more new blood, with the help of the old and willing hands, there is no reason why we shouldn’t be operating on the same scale we used to. I’m just as guilty as a lot of you, but now that the children have gotten a little older and grandparents are willing to baby-sit on meeting nights, it’s time to get the ball rolling again. We have a young and agile president who wörks hard for the good of the branch and is willing to devote a great deal of his time to it, but one man can’t do it all. Let’s give all the new officers a helping hand, get to meetings, get on committees. We mothers are always complaining about how dull it gets at home with the same monontonous routines, so let’s try our hand once more at club activities. Let’s just not sit back as old fogeys and see all the younguns pass us by. There are plenty of ideas and drive left in us yet! Come to the next meeting, the first Friday of the month at Arpad Hall on 81st St. Won’t you who have not been down for some time join us this month? See you then! (Sound like Ed Murrow and his program!) Fraternally, MARGE NEMETH, 199-13 26th Ave. Flushing 58, N. Y. BA-4-4399. (Editor’s Note: A journalistic welcome back home to Marge Kish Nemeth who a decade or so ago contributed regularly. It’s a pleasure. Marge!)
