Kasser 120118 169 407 696 653 664 2013 With everyone thru bowling-, we all piled into our spacious bus and were conducted to the headquarters of Branch 342. After riding the elevator to the top floor, we all sat down for a good pant . . . But not tor long because soon the aroma of food, coffee, etc., reached our nostrils, and the String trio began to harmonize . . . feet got itchy and, wel), we had such a wonderful time that we did hate to break it up. Reedy and Halaschak, the generals of branches 342 and 138, expressed sorrow over the fact that our match games for this season had to come to such a sudden close. But now we are looking forward to meeting at the National Bowling Tournament in Cleveland, come May 14, 15 and 16'. . . Branch 138 bowlers wish« to extend their sincere thanks to the bowlers of Branch 342 for a really wonderful time in Chicago. We can’t wait for the next season to bring us together again. Maynard Halaschak, Chairman, Bowling Committee, Branch 138, Gary, Ind. On behalf of Branch 14, we want to wish the Home Office, the Officers and all Verhovay members throughout America a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. * District Session The meeting of the 18th District — represented by Branch 14 — was held on Sunday, November 23rd. Convention-chairman and directorelect Coloman Kolozsvary gave an excellent report on the happenings at the convention. The other delegates also spoke. Numerous questions were asked and answered. We did not stay till the end, because of a previous commitment, but we were informed that the new by-laws were not approved by this district. National Secretary Coloman Révész visited Cleveland and Mr. Joseph M. Toth, our local organizer, conducted him on a tour of inspection through the Verhovay Home. Mr. Iievesz was well pleased with the renovations and activities of the home. Another welcome visitor at the Verhovay Home was Frank E. Komjáthy of Branch 170, Medina, O. He said they had just completed their district meeting and that the bylaws, as amended, were approved in their entirety. Among our Bowlers . . . A1 Stofcho, bowler on our ace Verhovay team at the Colony Recreation became City Champion a few weeks ago. He will represent- Verhovay and Branch 14 in Chicago, 111., at a Bowling Classic to be held there in December.

Approximately 600 attended. The toastmastership was in the capable hands of attorney Joseph Ujlaky. Among- those from Cleveland making the trek were: Mrs. Stephen Szabó, Paul Bolesic, Joseph M. Toth, Coloman Revesz, National Secretary, who stopped in Cleveland enroute to Lorain, E. Kesey and wife, Joseph Drotos and wife, E. Pachtler, Manager of Branch 45, Mrs. Borecz and a delegation of ladies from Branch 361. We met the Lorain and Youngstown bowlers at the banquet and they have agreed to bowl Cleveland next spring. Mr. Jávor, Manager of Branch 17 introduced the delegates. A duet by a boy and girl was well done, but the sensation of the evening was the wife of the President of Branch 17, who sang old Hungarian numbers, right from her heart, and as we looked around, there were many tear-stained eyes, but gladness and appreciation, also. In other words — she was a honey. Mr. Revesz gave an. inspiring address, and closed with a plea that each Verhovay member this Thanksgiving- and Christmas leave an empty plate for a guest who would not be there, and send the cost of that meal to Europe to help the needy. We introduced Mr. Pesti of Lorain to Mr. Drotos of Cleveland: both had just returned from a hunting trip. The Hungarian Reformed Chureh of Lorain, O., has a hall that they may well be proud of: large, spacious and well planned. Tournament prospects . . . We can’t offer much on the bowling Tournament till after the first of the year. We did like the assistance our editor gave us in the Nov. 26th issue as to Why, How and When of the Tournament.

The Trianon Bowling Lanes had been selected. Formerly it was the Trianon Dance Hall, but now there arc 26 modern, up-to-date alleys, with a large soda and sandwich bar (no liquor, just beer). The alleys will be clean every day of the tournament, so we have been informed. It is located at 100th and Euclid Ave., right in the E. 105th and Euclid business district. There are plenty of hotels, night clubs, five theatres, Case University, Western Reserve University, the Kossuth Monument in Wade Park you can’t miss walking east on Euclid to about East Blvd., or 110th street. Then there is Se-rverance Hall, home of the world-famous Symphony orchestra, Wake Park Lagoon and garden center where the flowers will be blooming just about the opening day of the Tournament. As you face the lagoon, the Cleveland Museum of Arts looms in the background, and other buildings, all off Euclid Avenue, ter, minutes from the alleys . . . And, of course, don’t forget to visit the Hungarian Carden with the Verhovay gate, in Rockefeller Park. In addition to our own, twenty other nationalities are represented by gardens which all can be inspected free. Then, don’t forget' to ride on the Lake front freeway ... 2 lights in about 15 minutes . . . you’ll pass the Cleveland Stadium, home of the Indians if you are travelling west. An itinerary with busses will be or, the agenda — if we can sell the idea to the committee. Judging from reports from South Bend this is an expensive item. We believe in a lot of fun, scenery, etc., but we also believe that it should not be done at the expense of the prize money. If there are monies to be spent for tours, let’s forget it, and ante up the prize list. How about it, fellows and gals ? Miscellaneous I have often wondered whether anybody ever reads my column ? ? ? ? (Editor replies: Don’t we all? Still, there are signs . . . Some time ago two members of Br. 14 stormed our office reproaching us for printingcertain remarks of J. J., about a certain meeting . -. . Shoe must have fit . . . Then, again, a young lady from the east wrote: *T enjoy reading the Journal, especially the editorials and the writings of Ferret, J. J. Horvath, Kun and others . . .” So — somebody does read the column: both at home and abroad . . .) T have also wondered ho\v the National President and the National Secretary kept themselves so nice and thin . . .? (Guess, it may havesomething to do with the three “W”s of fraternal office: Work, Worry and Wars . . . Ed.) In our next column we shall try and give our bowling teams both in and outside of the Verhovay hall . . . Again we call your attention to our New Year’s eve dinner, dance and favors for only $1.75, at the Verhovay Home. For details call or write to Mr. Joseph M. Toth, 8637 Buckeye Rd., Cleveland 4, O., telephone RA 8834. We would like a few more matchgames. Please wrife to Gene Toth, alley manager of the Verhovay Home, for arrangements or details. In closing we like this passage by an unknown author: “And though age and informi ty overtake me, and I come not within the read of the earth of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life and for time’s olden memories that are good and sweet, and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.” Ex Animo Joseph J. Horvath 8637 Buckeye Road.
