Cleveland Verhovayans Enjoy Annual Event New Year’s Eve is a very important occasion on the social program of Branch 573, Cleveland, Ohio. The going of 1954 and the coming of 1955 were this time a more than usual celebration which began, properly, 15 minutes before midnight on December 31st. Several hundred members and guests gathered together in the large hall of the Westlake Hotel to “ring out the old and ring in the new.” The affair was a combination banquet and dance, to boot all the other frills needed to make this type o. occasion replete with charm and gayety. In the absence of branch president Dr. Francis Somogyi, Field Supervisor Leslie J. Dus acted as master of ceremonies. The Cleveland field supervisor eulogized the honored guest of the evening, National President John Bencze, whose service at the Home Office in Pittsburgh has covered a quarter of a century-. Field Supervisor Dus then asked Director Coloman Kolozsvary of Cleveland to present to National President Bencze the Plaque prepared in his honor to commemorate his Home Office silver jubilee. Director Kolozsvary rose and was lavish in his praise of the National President with whom he has enjoyed a friendship of many years. He stressed the hard work of Traveling District Manager Coloman Bertalan of Cleveland, District Manager Stephen J. Ivancso of Toledo, and District Manager Kalman Erdeky of Buffalo, who, under the direction of Field Supervisor Leslie J. Dus, did much in their own field to assure the success of the John Bencze Anniversary New Membership Campaign. As Director Kolozsvary presented the John Bencze plaque to the National President, be wished him the blessings of God for a long and healthy life. National President Bencze was moved by the generosity of compliments and praise given him, thanking all for their good wishes and kind expressions. He told his listeners that he was happy to be present. Continuing, he asked that all strive for the betterment and growth of Verhovay, for the preservation of Magyar speech, music and culture, for the practice of solid Americanism, and he gave credit to Cleveland Hungarians and Verhovayans as one of the leading groups to accomplish and carry out the aforesaid ideals. The entire program was an exemplar of Verhovay fellowship. Communists View Typewriter As “Dangerous Weapon” To own a typewriter or duplicating machine in Soviet-occupied Rumania one must now have a special license from the police, according to the U.S. Information Agency. Under a new decree by the Rumanian Ministerial Council, the Information Agency reported, citizens are liable to fines from 50 tp 150 lei if such a machine is moved from the home of its possessor without previous consent from the police. Persons who use a typewriter or duplicator belonging to someone else, even with the consent of the owner but without police approval, also are subject to fines and the machine maybe confiscated. Observers believe, said the Information Agency, that this strict surveillance of typewriters and duplicators may be instituted to prevent the typing and copying of anti-government leaflets and tracts. Similar regulatory measures providing for the police registration of duplicating machines have been in force more than five months in Communist-c o n t r o 1 1 ed Czechoslovakia where, the Agency pointed out, anti- Communist tracts are reported to have been circulating. In Communist-dominated Hungary all typewriters must be registered with the police, and typewritten samples from each machine are a1 legedly kept on file so that any typed messages can be traced, the Information Agency said.
