THE FERRET SEZ HZZHUZZZZZZ^^Z!: By Mrs. Jolán Lucas BOWLING TOURNAMENT NEWS Right about now I can understand how the Lad from Arkansas felt. You know the story of the Mountain William whose folks thought he was deaf and dumb until the day he first spoke a word. “Didn’t have nawthin’ to say!” Likewise your Ferret hasn’t written in months becáuse I, too, didn’t have anything to say. But now it’s a different story . . . In just a litle over a month, the long-awaited big week-end for Verhovay’s bowlers will arrive. In just no time at all, bags will be packed, loose change dug from odd corners to swell the expense fund, and excitement tingling in every vein. Sure, I know the feeling — haven’t I attended every bowling tournament since that' first excellent one way back in March of 1942? Only this time, the excitement is more intense . . . this time, we in Detroit, are the hosts. Will they have enuf to eat? Wjll they like their hotel accomodations? Wonder if they’ll leave us , with the same pleasant memories which we Detroiters had After Pittsburgh (two times), South Bend, Cleveland ? Preparations have been going steadily since that first meeting held early last fall. In the beginning it was just casual talk and mostly reminiscing. “Remember?” we’d ask each other. “Let’s improve on this, that or t’other idea.” Then the older members joined in, because as any sensible person can tell you, they are the ones who do most of the work. Without the help of these older members, the entire Tournament plan would fail. Their past experience in handling large crowds, and details which are glossed over by the inexperienced, are taken in their stride. Great Reception Planned This Committee in Detroit is planning a terrific reception for the outof-towners in the dynamic Motor City. The program will conclude with the “big night” of the Banquet on Sunday, May 29th. The entire three floors of the Reformed Hall on West End Avenue in the Hungarian Colony will resound with the merry chatter and gayety of a thousand voices. Yes, we are actually planning on a crowd of that size. Not only the bowlers and their guests are to be honored at this, the largest banquet in Detroit for Hungarians and by Hungarians, but we also plan on a grand initiation of all new members secured from January 1st to May 15th. Just a bit more data on these free banquet tickets which may be secured by all Detroit Verhovay members. Each new member will be feted at the banquet and introduced to the merry-makers. Also, each V. member who secures two prospects, and whose dues will be paid for at least three months can also attend this gala affair. There is still plenty of time to phone your branch manager to call on your prospects, so that you too may join in the best time of your life. To help pass the time away, two, and I said two, not one, gypsy orchestras will fiddle into the wee hours of the morn. Additional entertainment will be furnished by outstanding personalities, which at the present time will be left to your imagination. Accomodations to house your personal effects are being completed at the Hotel Fort Shelby, which is within walking distance of the Detroit Recreation Alleys, where each one of you will try to win that beautiful Frank' Brogley Trophy, or settle for a smaller prize. This was one of the main issues at previous tournaments — that there was so much traveling between hotel and alleys that very little time was left for social activities. Prices of the rooms are very reasonable, as I just found out from Director Richard Phillips, and a beautiful view of Detroit and Windsor, Canada can be seen from all floors. Sights To See The Detroit Recreation Alleys are next door to the Cass Theatre, in case you desire to see a play. Across the street is the Detroit Free Press Building, with the Times and News Buildings just down the street. If the ladies want to shop, wide and pleasant Woodward Avenue with its teeming shops is just a couple of blocks to the east. Anyone interested in visiting a “furrin” country, can walk about a quarter of a mile to the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, scoot Across on a bus, and he is in a part of dear, Olde Merrie England. Or if you prefer an unusual walk, take a street car down a short distance to the Ambassador Bridge and try walking across. I’m warning you now, that thar old bridge does sway on a windy day, as who should know better than your old Ferret, who tried it one dark midnight. New York City isn’t the only town where a grand view for miles can be seen from a tall building. Within sight of the Fort-Shelby is the Penobscot Building, with its fiery airplane beacon still higher than the observation platform. Anyone who wants to spend a couple of pennies on the telescope may be able to spot this old house and maybe see me waving back at you. Then there is always the never-ending spectacle of Detroit River traffic, which is the greatest of any inland waterway in the United States. Fishing at the end of the docks is guaranteed to bring good luck for disciples of Isaac Walton, or if you prefer better fishing, ask my Luke to take you on a tour of lakes in the nearby villages. There will be plenty of able-bodied scouts to take you around to visit beautiful Belle Isle (still my first love); or that long trek out to the most complete Fair and Zoo in the middle west. The Ford Motor Company, as always, is a panorama of powerful industry to be seen by curiosity seekers, especially to folks from the smaller towns. One of these days I’ll have to take time out for a conducted tour through the factory. Greenfield Vilage is only a few miles from the hotel and is av sight, once seen, never forgotten. Sure, and I could go on all day raving about this great old town of ours, but you’ll all have the opportunity of seeing for yourselves. Ask, and we’ll deliver the goods. In the lobby of the Hotel Fort Shelby will be friendly chaps to (Continued on page 10)
