1 PAGE 12 Verhovay Bowling News and Scores Journal ■___________________ October 8, 1947 CHILDREN’S CORNER THE BRAGGARTS — Hungarian VERHOVAY JOURNAL TO PROMOTE BOWLING Dus to the adoption of bowling as Verhovay’s National Sport by the XXL Convention which ordered that the widest possible publicity be given to our sports teams, much space in our enlarged Journal will be devoted throughout the season to the activities of our bowling membership. The effectiveness of such publicity, however, depends entirely on the cooperation of the captains, secretaries ót correspondents of the howling teams. Our aim is to give complete coverage to the sports activities of all of our branches and to this end adequate information from the field is needed. We have no reason to be fully satisfied with the present number of active teams, nor with the scop? of their programs. Adequate publicity will inspire hitherto inactive branches to participation in Verhovay’s national sport and. at the same time, encourage the teams that are to strive for improvement. It is important, therefore, that regular reports be received not only from a select few but from every team already formed or now embarking upon a sports program. Scores had been fairly regularly furnished in the past by the teams in. South Bend, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland. Youngstown. New Brunswick, New York and Los Angeles. But rarely, if ever, have reports been received from teams operating in other communities, yet. their number is great. Naturally, the reports are not necessarily to be confined to scores. Social events sponsored by the teams, of the branches backing them, should be given proper publicity. Then, too, some teams make a nice showing in. local leagues and, as a result, are mentioned in the local newspapers, too. Clippings of such newspaper reports should be mailed to the editor in order that the local standings of such teams may be properly publicized. Therefore, every captain is requested to either assume the task of keeping the Journal informed of the activities and progress of his team, or to appoint a dependable member, or booster, of the team as correspondent. Even if the members of a team feel that they have nothing much to report they at least should inform he general membership, through the Journal, that they HAVE an active team. Actually, not even the National Convention had an adequate picture of the sports activities of our younger membership. Had it been possible to reveal the full scope of sports activities in our branches, perhaps the Convention would have gone even further in extending the Association’s program of supporting and aiding our teams. This is something to be seriously considered by all the sportsmen of the Verhovay. Let us not be backward and, thereby, jeopardize the possibility of further assistance by the Association. How to make reports? Ail bowling reporters are requested to observe the following rules: 1.) Send readable scores to the Journal. Second and third carbon copies are mostly illegible. In many instances it is almost impossible to decipher the names and scores of the individual bo» lers. If the reporter has only a carbon copy in his. or her, possession, a clean, legible copy thereof should be made for publication in the Journal. 2. ) The names should be spelled correctly. A great deal of resentment is caused by the incorrect spelling of names. The reporter should take the trouble of ascertaining the correcf spelling of the name of each bowler on the team. 3. ) Typewritten scores are the rule. However, if the reporter cannot avail himself of a typewriter, the hand-written report should be ciearlv legible. 4. ) Scores can be published only if they are set up in this manner: initial of first name and full last name, the totals of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd game, and the grand total. (Like: M. Smith. 150 — 175 — 200 — 525.) The report must not contain more, nor less, than four columns of figures. The number of the branch, its location, the name of the teem, if any, and the date should head the report which must be signed by the reporter or captain. The reporter is free to add any news items pertaining to the team, to the scores. 5. ) There is absolutely no excuse for submitting INCORRECTLY ADDED scores. The individual totals must add up at all times to the total scores of the team. We have neither time for correcting wrong additions, nor any inclination for printing incorrectly added scores. It takes only a few minutes to check the scores and correct the errors if it is done by someone who has attended the game. But is it impossible for the editor to determine whether the error iies in one of the individual scores or in the adding of the totals. 6. ) The bowling scores will be printed as soon as possible after they have b:en received by the editor. If the reporter wishes to have them appear in the next issue, they should be mailed far ahead of closing date. In most instances we are unable to place reports and scores arriving on. or shortly before, the deadline date. The contents of each issue of the Journal "re planned in advance and, therefore, we must have a definite idea as to how much space must be reserved for the bowling scores. 7. ) Do not send us the scores of one or two months’ games in a single report, for publication in one issue. It is impossible to allot two or three columns to the scores of any one branch. In the event such reports are submitted, we may be forced to print the scores of only the last games. Scores should be sent in once every two weeks, if possible. We will be sincerely obliged to every reporter cooperating with us in these matters. Such cooperation will assist us in our efforts to give a proper and fair share of publicity to each and every team and, at the same time, to effectively promote the National Sport of the Verhovay F. I. Association. DETROIT, MICH. BRANCH 500 September 23, 1947 M.Sally 153159 151 463 E.Shaffer 123115 136 374 P.Morrison 116 122 125363 Once upon a time there was a man who had three sons. One became a blacksmith by trade, the second a barber and the third a soldier. All three of them went out into the world, never bothering to visit the parental home, nor writing any letters to their father. One day each of the three received an urgent message to hurry home because their father was seriously ill. Now that their return could not be postponed any longer, they hurried home and found that their father would have only a few more hours to live. And to the father gathered his three sons around his deathbed and said: “I am glad that I could see you once more before I am called away. Now I would like to know how well you have succeeded in your jobs, so that I may peacefully descent into my grave.” “Don’t worry, father”, replied the oldest one. “I am the smartest blacksmith in the land. Why, I am so good that I can shoe and unshoe a horse while it is running.” The father smiled: “That’s fine, my son. I am glad to know that you’ll always be able to make a living.” “Have no worries about me, either,” — said the second son — “for I am the best barber in three countries. Why I can shave a rabbit on the run!” , Again the father smiled, with a little twinkle in his eyes and replied: “That’s really wonderful, my son., You certainly won’t have to starve.” Said the third: “Rest assur-T.

Why, there isn’t another soldier in the army who can handle his sword better than I. Just the other day, I was all dressed up in my parade uniform when suddenly a cloudburst came. There wasn’t a shelter anywhere, yet I would have hated to have my fine uniform get wet. Out came my sword and I twirled it around, above my head, so fast that not a single raindrop could fall on my tunic. When I arrived at the parade grounds, I was the only soldier whose uniform was dry. Everybody was amazed and even the general came to ask how I did it. Then I showed him and he was so impressed that he gave me a bag of gold then and there.” “Dear God”, said the father happily, “now I can go to. my rest in peace. My three sons have done very well for themselves and they always will be able to make a good living.” “That’s so.” —• said the three sons proudly — “Don’t you worry about us at all.” “Well, sons,” said the father, “if you are so smart then probably you won’t mind that I have left all my savings to the orphangage in our town. Those poor little children are in need of help and seeing how you don’t need anyone’s help, I can leave the five thousand gold pieces I saved to them.” With that he died, but you should have seen the crestfallen faces of the three young braggarts. You bet, they never again bragged in their lives! ReedC. 152125 146 423 ReedJ. 136141 151 428 Totals 647601 729 1977 MichaelPuskas. Mgr. NEW BRUNSWICK.N. J. Branch 518 September 24, 1947 B.
