We hear that the English
speaking branches of the ver-
hovay Aid Association are rapid
y increasing in msmbership here
and that the young people have
taken kindly to the idea.
We also hear that similar suc-
cess followed organization eff
forts Of the Reformed As
sociation, which has an organ
izer working now IN our terri.
tory.
We are glad to hear these
tiddings. They are good news.
The big fraterrial organizations
founded by the early Hungarian
settlers in America will gain a
new lease of better life with
the infusion Of new, young and
Arnericanized blood.
Our organizations are stable,
they rest. on solid foundation,
they offer the same advantages
as other organizations do and in
most cases at a lower cost, be-
cause they are not organized for
profit. They win be rich in
heritance for the young people
who join.
The Youngstown branch Of
the Verhovay known as No. 364
viii hold its first public social
affair, an opening dance this
Saturday on the 9th. This dance
should be an occasion for all the
younger people to meet. to get
better acquainted and finally to
join one or the other Of the re-
Gently organized American
speaking branches. -
President Frank Brogley in
forms us that the advance sale
st the tickets indicates 4 record
crowd. The branch extends the
invitation to- all. Dancing will
be on the program from eight
p. M. to 1890 p. NJ. with
Frank Orosz' American orchestra
furnishing the dance music. An
excellent committee composed
of Mike Siroki, Frank Kalmer,
Steve Brogley II, John Horvath,
Steve Horvath, Elizabeth Barta,
Mrs. Barbara Mihok and Frank
Brogley is in charge Of the affair.
Despite the MIRA the admission
will be only Is cents person.
All we can add to the invita-
tion issued by the branch here
that young people go and help
young organization get started
in the right direction.
And here is an appeal and an
apology. A young lady the
other day called Frank Brogley
(No, No, not for date) and
said she would like to become a.
member Of the Verhovay. Her
name was misunderstood and
now Brogley is in despair what
the young lady will think about
him. So he asks that the young
lady call him again and he will
be certain to get her name cor
rectly. We hope she does.
Incidentally Brogley reports
that last week Miss Julia Dan
