1955 / Verhovay Journal
FAGE 6 Verhovay Journal February 16. IP5? We heard that the New Year affair at the Verhovay home was well attended. However, no profits will be .realized for Branch 14. Also heard was that the new bylaws had been accepted by the last meeting. Joseph Szalay is remodeling his basement — tile floor, new beams, bar, and so forth. He hopes to have everything'? ready by spring, then celebrate with a speck fry. Julius Fensik complained about pains in his shoulders and legs. The doctor ordered heating pads to be applied to both places. Julius is angry because he’ll have to forego dancing the csárdás for the time being. John Nagy, City of Cleveland recreational commissioner, has established boxing in several of the city reci'eational centers. He believes that boys with excess energy will be able to use boxing to learn self defense. Good work, John Nagy, and wise thinking. A little bird has informed us that the Bubonics are expecting next October. The Pinters, Ann and Tony, meet every Saturday at a local bowling emporium. They give each other lessons. We wonder who is the beneficiary of all this knowledge. At the “Öreg Amerikás” meeting Director Coloman Kolozsvary was elected president for the umpteenth time. Mr. Kolozsvary does great work here in Cleveland for the Hungarians and for Verhovay. He is deserving of honors. Congratulations. We heard that a group of relatives were gathered in a lawyer’s office waiting for him to open the envelope that contained their late relative’s will. The lawyer opened the envelope and read to the expectant group: “Being of sound mind, J spent all my money while I was alive.’’ A wonderful philosophy of life is -expressed in these four lines: Give me a sense of humor, Lord — Give me grace to see a joke —- To get some happiness from life — And pass it on to other folks. Card party for Verhovay bowlers. We have heard that two men’s and one women’s teams will be backed by- Branch 14 to go to the national Verhovay tourney in Chicago. There was a large turnout. Joseph Barry was master of ceremonies. Guests introduced wei'e Vice President Dr. Andrew Kovács, Director Louis Vizi and his son, and Director Coloman Kolozsvary. We heard that Joseph Semetko was treasurer of this bowling committee. Other Verhovay members at this card party were Joseph Szalay, Frank and Helen Oravis, Joseph Kepes. John Boda, Steve Vache, Mrs. Szalay, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Pertz, John Beres, Mrs. Joseph Bodnar, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Piscalko, Oscar Federal!, Ted and Frances Beres, Sigismund Kadar, Sandy Hegedűs, plus many others. You must be a policy holder to go as a bowler to the tournament. My first day in Columbus, Ohio as a legislator. After registering at a local hotel, I walked to the state capitol — slowly — thinking- — that here I was walking in the footsteps of great men before me, who had helped make Ohio great right from its very beginning, men who are gone, statesmen who made history in our nation. It made me feel humble indeed that I, a poor fellow who hal grown up in these United States, have been given the same opportunity to trace the paths of the Ohio greats before me, giving me the opportunity and the honor to be of service to my country, to my state, to my county, to my city, and to the American citizens. As I mounted the stairs, I felt a grave responsibility, but I vent ahead, then walked into the House of Representatives' where at two c’olock we "-ere administered the oath of office by one of.our Supreme Court judges. The second week saw the inauguration of our illustrious member of Branch 14, Frank J. Lausche, as Governor for the fifth time. Many Hungarians and Cleveland notables of Branch 14' were in attendance — Frank J. Pokorny, Louis Varga, Mary K. Sotak, Louis Janik, John Jakab, Julius Pet rash Andy Dono, Frank Szabó, Joseph Earrv, and the Rev. Andor Leffler, pastor of the First Hungarian Lutheran Church, whose daughter, Elizabeth, resides at Ri Don Beach, California with her husband. We listened to the Governor’» message. We sincerely believe that he has the best interests of Ohio and its people in his heart. We understand that Branch 14 will have a card party Sunday. March 27th, at the Verhovay hall. All the profits will go towards defraying expenses of burials, wreaths, pal! bearers, etc., a real good cause that should be supported by every Verhovay member and good wilier by attendance at the event. Remember lhc date, March 27th. The Verhovay Sports Club decided at its meeting that a benefit card party will be held on Saturday, March 12th, at the Verhovay ball room, 8637 Buckeye Road, for Mr. Joseph Bodnar, former manager of the Verhovay home, who is in dire need. This will be a worthy cause for a good Verhovay member. Donations will be accepted by the committee, consisting of Frank Oravis, president, Anthony Pinter, treasurer, George Bubonic, secretary, Ann Pintér, Adeline Bubonic, Sandy and Mel Hegedűs. A good program will be offered and coffee cake and refreshments will be served. There will be plenty of door prizes. The event will be advertised on radio, in the local newspapers and by other means, So let us get together — All — to help our fellow member and perpetuate the spirit of our Verhovay founders. Admission will he only 75 cents and all the profit, after expenses, will be given Joseph Bodnar. SATURDAY. MARCH 12TH. Before we close, I wish to pass on this slogan to motorists: A child should be SEEN, but not HURT. Ex Animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH c.o. Verhovay Home 8637 Buckeye Road Cleveland 4, Ohio Editor’s Note: In his position as representative Mr. Horvath is a member of two committees, Insurance and Industry and Labor. We feel sure that he will serve both committees conscientiously and well. Every success to Joseph J Horvath, Member Ohio House of Re; resentatives!
