COME TO COLUMBUS, OHIO

February 20, 1952

(Continued from page 1)

The Bencze-Revesz Anniversary New Membership Campaign, now in progress, has a twofold purpose, to take advantage of this opportune time for a general drive to augment our membership, to honor National President Bencze and National Secretary Revesz, for their loner and faithful vears of service to Verhovay. We all know that nothing, nothing will please Messrs. Bencze and Revesz more, when they are honored at the final night of festivities on May 31. than the information that the Bencze- Revesz Anniversary New Membership Campaign ended with success beyond expectation! Forward to jubilant glory go the Tenth Annual National Ten Pin Tournament, and the Bencze-Revesz Anniversary New Membership Campaign! Simultaneously they work together for their common cause — the growth and welfare of Verhovay

In Columbus high class entertainment will be yours at low cost. The Friday night dance and the Saturday evening banquet and dance will cast the bowlers a mere $3.00 and non-bowlers only $5,00. For these small sums, which are no more than pittances, there will be two night of superior entertainment, the kind that you would pay about $15 00 for elsewhere.-This statement is not just guess work.

It is reasonably accurate.

What about your mode of transportation? Of course Columbus being the gorgeous capital of Ohio and a progressive city boasting just about everthing, it can very easily be reached by motor car, bus, rail or by air. The highways leading to and from Columbus are in first-rate condition. .But the most important consideration here is economy. Group travel is definitely the cheapest. Buses may be chartered at amazingly low rates, and the more passengers the cheaper the fare. Here is an example:

A 37 passenger Greyhound can be chartered from Pittsburgh to Columbus, that is round trip, for approximately $225.00, or just a little more than $6.00 per person. This of course is true of chartering buses from ; other cities, proportionate to the distance and the number of riders. And you may choose your own time of departure to and from Columbus by arrangement with the bus companies. If you have ever been with a bus group you know there is no better way of having plenty of fun along foie way to your destination. Perhaps an even more economical way to go is to organize motor caravans. This is what Dayton. Ohio is arranging according to former director John P. Kelemen, editor-publisher of the Dayton Hungarian Herald. This method is a little cheaper than by chartered bus, but obviously there is less fun. because of smaller groups. Either way, however, is satisfactory. It is really how you feel about it. But remember that you can save money and have more fun on the way if you „go by bus or automobile in groups — rather than travel individually.

Now consider your place of stay in Columbus. It is the ultra-modern, beautiful Beshler-Wallick Hotel, a magnificent structure indeed. Does this strike fear into your financial hearts? It need not. Again you will get much for your money at the Beshler- Wallick. Single rooms are from $6.00 to $7.00 double rooms from $8.50 to $10.50. twin bedrooms from $9.50 to $11.50, capacity rooms (4 persons) S3.50 per person, capacity rooms (5 or more persons) $3.00 per person. Again the advice is get together and save together!

Of special interest to young and old alike will be the beauty contest for the selection of Miss or Mrs. Verhovay of 1952. The decision will be based on beauty and gracefulness, so it is quite impossible to predict whether the title will go to a I Miss or Mrs. Pity the poor judges and don’t envy them! Their problem will be a hard one. Magyar gills invariably possess an abundance of beauty and their numbers are so great : the selection of the winner will be no simple task.

There is so much that you will get for your time and money that you just must not ignore the grand Columbus event. Think of it. Many of you mil have additional fun by traveling together. You will meet the gracious Verhovay members of Columbus, Ohio and the smiling citizens of Columbus the Friendly City. You will have that millionaire feeling while at the deluxe Deshler-Wallick Hotel, basking in the warmth and super comforts of its lovely rooms. The big bowling match will thrill your sports loving hearts. The Bela Zigi Orchestra, from the famous Hungarian Village Restaurant in Detroit. Michigan, secured after serious negotiations, will with its superb music say, ‘Open Terpsichore” (the muse of dancing), and over the dance floor will glide many pairs of Magyar dancing feet to the lilting melodies
