CHAMBERS OF JUSTICE HAROLD H. BURTON J&ttprfnu ÜJonrt of il[< ISrtiteir jSlatee 5®aai[OTgton 13, B. (E. December 5» 1955 tty dear Mr. Revesz: Replying to your cordial letter of December 2, I appreciate your thinking of me in connection with the first issue of the "William Penn." It is with regret that I am unable to grant your request. I find that, during a Term of Court, it is not possible for me to undertake assignments other than those relating directly to our Court duties. At present, we are in the midst of hearing, deciding and writing opinions in a substantial number of difficult and important cases which does not permit me to consider your offer. I congratulate you upon the merger of the two oldest fraternal societies organized by American Hungarians and I wish you great success with the new enterprise. We are tremendously pleased that Pennsyl­vania has offered to you the inducement to have your new society domiciled in our State. This is another illustration of the many benefits available to a diversified citizenry which Pennsylvania affords. I consider it a privilege to have been a member of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association for many years and I am glad to continue my connection with the combined As­sociation. We congratulate you, the officers, and the committee responsible for effecting this merger, and the 90,000 individuals comprising its membership. With personal and cordial regards, m Yours sincerely, Mr. Coloman Revesz National President-Elect William Penn Fraternal Association Verhovay Building U36 Fourth Avenue Pittsburgh 19, Pa. m ■ ■ ■ ■ a 11 ■■■■■«■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■! : Verhovay Watchtqwer 5 !* By JOSEPH J. HORVATH — Cleveland, Ohio • a iBBiiai&suiiiKaaiieiaaaaaBaaiaiiiaiei Someone must have cancelled my subscription to the Verhovay Jour­nal. I haven’t received the Novem­ber and December copies. Election of Officers, Branch 14, December 4, 1955: James Kovach, re-elected pic-ident; Joseph Semet­­ko, vice president; Bertalan Szila­gyi. secretary; John Bosway, con­troller; Joseph Kovács and Joseph M. Toth, auditors; Joseph Fekete, sergeant-at-arms; Joseph Szalay, house controller. We heard that Leslie J. Dus re­cently resigned as financial sec­retary and manager of Branch 14. There is a movement to have a bust or plaque for Ferenc Kölcsey, com­poser of the Magyar national an­them. and a proper dedication pro­gram with festivities to be held in the Cleveland Hungarian Culture Gardens this summer, if possible. We regret to inform our readers that Joseph Bodnar, former manager of the Cleveland Verhovay Home, passed away December 12, 1955. Our condolences to his widow, son and daughter and his other relatives. We saw Betty Knapp shopping for men’s cuff links at William Taylor’s. Sigismund Kadar was elected pres­ident of the Szabolcs Megye Club. He succeds another Branch 14 mem­ber, Joseph Hegedűs. We are filing for re-election for state representative, and, with the help of our membership in Cuyaho­ga County, I should succeed in get­ting one of the seventeen places on the Democratic ticket. The primary will be on Tuesday, May 8, 1956. Please keep me in mind. Sports Club Christmas Party at Verhovay Hall: As usual, the Christ­mas party was a success. The ladies baked delicious turkey and ham. It was a pleasure seeing the many children there. Present were newly­weds Mr. and Mrs. Jake Torda, who received a special gift. “Battling’’ Nelson Hegedűs gave us the blow by blow description of his encounter with the hold-up men. Steve Vache was trying out something new. Frank Oravis showed movies^ and was general “chief cook and bottle washer,” while Bela Kastan was re­freshment dispenser. “Burma Shorts” Piscalko sang' a few numbers with Tony Pinter, Nick Yuhasz and Bet­ty Knapp. It was a splendid party. Let’s have another one, but put duck on the menu the next time. Mrs. Frank Gyure, wife of our Verhovay mover, works at William Taylor and Sons Department Store, also Joseph Fejes, father of Mary Fejes who was secretary of Branch 366 for a long time. We met Field Manager Elmer Charles, of the Home Office, at the Branch 14 office. We were favorably impressed with the personable Mr. Charles. To correct a false local impression about our Sports Club, we give this information. The ones who founded it were Joseph Szalay, president of Branch 14 in 1949, and Joseph M. Toth, manager and financial sec­retary at that time. I was the first president and am still a member of this organization. Branch 366 has always been known as the young people’s branch. However, many of its members are now seniors. We heard that Branch 366 had a Christmas party December 10th at Verhovay Hall. Alex J. Horvath may run for the Senate again. He made an excellent showing two years ago. Louie Varga’s new Chagrin Valley Tavern, located on Route 422 and 91 in Moreland Hills, Ohio, was open­ed January 3, 1956. Full course meals are served in a large dining room able to accommodate more than 100 people. There is ample parking space. Grand opening on Louie’s birthday, March 12th. My journalistic welcome to my namesake, Horvath, L. Louis, that is, who has joined the ranks of the scribes and contributors. He is in Philadelphia, Pa., and writes for Branch 76. As the next site for the bowling tournament of our Association, the city of Buffalo, New York, rates our approval. Now Joseph S. Taylor can put to action his threat of the yes­teryears, to serve milk to the bowl­ers. There surely would result clear­er heads and better scores. By way of information, brother Taylor owns and operates a milk company. At the New Years’s Day meeting of the “Öreg Amerikások,” Coloman Kolozsvary was re-elected president of the group. The organization has a membership of about six thousand, James Kovach, president of Branch 14, was temporary chairman. Joseph Tatai was temporary secretary. About one thousand members at­tended. ’Tis our understanding that Frank Oravis on New Year’s Évé invented a new dance — the pole dance. The Sports Club will elect its new officers the third Sunday of Feb­ruary, that is, on the 19th, at the Verhovay Hall. Good luck and good health for the New Year! Ex animo, JOSEPH J. HORVATH c. o. Verhovay Home 8637 Buckeye Road Cleveland 4, Ohio ATTENTION! ATTENTION! The William Penn Fraternal Association will run a Special Tabloid Section on Sunday, February 19, 1956, in the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, to commemorate the 70th Anni versary of our Association. Those members or friends who wish to insert an adver­tisement in this section should get in touch with either the Home Office or with the Advertising Department of the Sun- Telegraph, Pittsburgh 30, Pa. GORGEOUS SURROUNDINGS This inside view of Buffalo’s Hotel Statler is an eye opener to the superb beauty, comforts and luxury offered by the elegant hotel which will house our members during the next William Penn Tournament-Fellowship Days on May 12-13, 1956.
