SEPESSY AND HIS FAMOUS ORCHESTRA March 16, 1955. Verhovay Journal PAGE *» tee representing 1.000,060 Americans of Hungarian descent and designate the American Hungarian Federation as our agent. The Federation is herewith authorized and directed to submit our appeal to the President of the United States. Dwight D. Eisenhower, and simultaneously to call upon him as the Leader not only of the American people but of the Free World, to reaffirm his solemn pledge against all tyrannies, never to compromise for the sake of il’usory coexistence, those eternal ideals of national freedom and human rights defended throughout American history and to do all in his power to liberate our enslaved people from under Soviet tyranny and Communist degradation. Well, what else is new? At the February meeting, plans were made for a bus ride this summer. Other program plans were being laid. You really should have come. We had a ball. The women gave a surprise party in honor of Joe Toma's feirthday, and the wine flowed and the goodies went-down the hatch, and a gay old time was had by all. I thinK Joe admitted to being the same age. as Jack Benny??? Zilagy wine is quite potent — makes one’s hair “curl.” The refreshments custom shall be continued, we understand, at Mrs. Marhon’e suggestion, and a mighty good one it is. So we do hope we shall see you soon. You too can join in the fun. We've been making the business part of the meetings shorter so that we can have some social activities afterward. It's all on the house, you know, and believe me. it is our pleasure if we can aid and abet a little fun. See you next meeting? April 1st, and that's no fool joke either! Quite some time ago I meant to mention that Chuck Fabian (our genial V.P.) had brought the movies j of the Thanksgiving party to a meeting and showed them to the members. Very good they were too You know what? Every picture he took of me was from.the rear. Well, , I guess cameras are expensive at that! Chuck teils me that the bowling boys have been rolling quite well. Good ole Joey Kongo is rolling real hot; Johnny *Partmanr is as usual leading the league; and Chuck is bringing up the rear, so to speak. Ibos, Fabian, Pellagrino and Caporatta are trying to stave off the league. The boys recently had a match game with the Catholic War Vets of the Commander Barry Post and came home victorious, think it was by about 130 pins. Those playing were Johrrny Partmann, Joe Toma, A1 Ibos, Charles Fabian and Joe Caporatta, Joe C. I understand, was the star of the day by rolling especially well. Keep up the good work, boys, Chicago and May aren't that far off. Incidentally, I was informed that to be nmseot for these boys, I'd have to tote at least 160 pounds of balls and carry’ cases — methinks at the rate these boys make offers, I’m staying at home. In January, the 29th to be exact, Betty Miklós, Mr. and Mrs. Toma and A1 Ibos represented our branch in New Brunswick, where they attended a testimonial dinner and dance in honor of Michael Puskas, former manaeer of Branch 518, at the Joyce Kilmer Post. It was his team that won first place in New York at the tournament, if I recall my facts correctly. I understand it was a big shindig — the dinner I mean — with many dignitaries and officials present. Congratulations to Mr. Puskas, Now for a very important bit of news. One of the first dances to be held after Easter shall be ours, to he held on April 16th at the Reformed Church at East 69th Street. You all seemed to enjoy yourselves su much there at the Kiddie Party that we thought you’d like to have a dance there. Perhaps you don’t know that this dance is primarly being, held so that our bowling boys will be able to get to Chicago. You who have participated in the great events know what it cost to travel and have ! a little left over for a scotch and soda, and since we certainly want our boys to go to represent us an 1 our branch, the only way we-can do \ it is if you all help us by helping yourselves to a good time by attending the dance. (Even if you can’t attend, won’t you show your fellow bowling friend that you’re in there pitching with him, Buy a ticket they are inexpensive enough — do your good deed and help us roll a strike! — for — not against us!) We haven’t had a dance in a long time, and after Lent everyone likes to go out. It’s 'going to be an all- American band this time, you lindyhoppers and mambó shakers should be in your glory! Get down there and let’s go — I for one am raring, ready and willing, and only an act of God will keep me away, and if you all feel the same way, our boys will get there and be able to show Toledo they’re not the only ones who know how to bowl well. Incident!)', Steve Ivancso, thanks for the information — don’t think I wasn’t, curious —sort of suspected a Sally • Randish aspect, but couldn’t quite associate .it with time and place. Since chances getting to Toledo seem slim, I’ll mail the quarter and let you buy me the first chance that comes out, and hope we’re lucky. Y ou know that oldie «about the early bird, but since I can’t stand worms, I'll settle for the turkey instead. Okay ? Tickets for the dance are available from most members, the. bowling boys’ or else contact Mr. Toma or myself, and I’d delight in mailing them to you. Speaking of helping us recalls to mind a direct quote made by Director A1 Falussy at our most recent meeting, to wit, “Any member of the organization who in any way weakens the possibility of a merger is a traitor to the organization.” I imagine almost everybody agrees with that thought; it should give some people something to think about, at any rate. Certainly we are ALL working toward and for ONE COMMON Cause, that of good cf the organization and not for anyone’s personal desires. J could go into quite a tirade myself on tire subject, but it seems, that there are many who would rather not listen to women-for lo- the women have no savvy about certain subjects, but let it be forgotten, just remember my dear friends, that there is a woman behind every man. Some people mistake independence for conceit. Think twice, friends. Our desire is just as strong as yours. Give a girl a chance to prove it! President A1 Ancsanyi has requested me to appeal to you to show up at the monthly meetings. He’s holding me personally responsible for the lack of members attending, because I sometimes forget to mention the date of the next meeting. So MRS. THOMAS GRAHAM, JR. The marriage of Miss Margaret Bunchy to Thomas Graham, Jr. was read with a Nuptial Mass in St. Stephen’s Church, Y’oungstown, Ohio. The Rev. John Vaskó officiated. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bunchy of 549 New Court, Y'oungstown. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas. Graham, Sr., 762 South Avenue, Youngstown. She was given in marriage by her* father. Miss Rose E. Graham, sister of 'the bridegroom, was maid of honor. The bridesmaids were Mrs. Irend Gianfraneesco, Miss Helen Markovich and Miss Betty Simon. Fred Horvath, cousin of the bride, was best man. Ushers were Danny Gianfraneesco, Charles Reedy and John Simon. -A breakfast and reception was held at Calvin Center. Out of town guests were front New Y’ork, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The newlyweds traveled to Niagara Falls and Canada for their honeymoon. They are now living at 549 New Court, Y’oungstown. Mrs. Graham is a member of Branch 21, Youngstown. look, if you don’t want to see me walking around with my head under my arm, will you for my sake show up on April 1, 1955 at the Arpad Hall on E. 82 Street? One of these days we are going to hold a special confidential meeting, and boy, what you will miss, and will you be sorry, because I won’t tell you which one it’s going to he, SO THERE! I recently heard from Jolán Lucas, The Ferret, who for years I have been admiring, and she did quite a bit to twister my morale. Those of you who write the columns know how time-consuming it can be and how frustrating and thankless too. Yes, it was very pleasant to have a fellow columnist reach across the keyboard to extend the hand of welcome and friendship. Jolán, you are a pal! Boy, don’t the pictuies of the Conrad Hilton Hotel look scrumptious (and to think ZSA-ZSA left all that behind-gazooks!) It looks a little like the Waldorf Astoria here in N. Y. I notice we have now been joined by Branch 50 of Chicago. Welcome, Mr. Kajdi, always nice to know someone is joining us in the commoii effort of Fraternalism, and Hello! to Ernest C. Taylor, who was so generous with his information when I needed help-glad to have you with us — hope the Janoyicses haven’t deserted you completely! We have some new additions to announce, but I’ll leave that for next month. Meanwhile, happy birthdays to the birthday children, happy anniversaries to others, and oh! ju^t good luck and health to evei'yone.
