Social Turner Hall 1651 Belmont Avenue * if. * Our bowling season is, at this writing, almost over with. At least three of our teams are fighting valiantly for first place. However, it makes me a little sorry to admit that in the individual averages the two top contenders are women. Shame on us men that we can not unseat them from their throne, but It seems certain that they will finish (as the top two. At this writing they" are tie for first place with an »average of 159. Who are they? Why none other than Margie Fodor and Olga Kunstadt. Olga is also on the high game list, as her high game was 220, and is topped only by 222 «hot by Andy Janovies and 224 shot by Willie Feifar. Ernie Taylor is (tie with Olie in the high game as he also shot 220. These figures evidently will stand unless someone gats extra good on the last two nights of bowling and knocks them out. Trophies will be given to our first team, which are being donated by Mr, Steve Spieler. Trophies will also be awarded for other accomplishments such as high game, etc. Yes, the bowling season was fun while it lasted, but then, as all good (things, it must come to an end. We hope next season many more of our members will’ bowl with us. Which reminds me, I wish to (thank each and every one of you who so kindly gave of your time1, »and who donated prizes to our bunco party which was held in March.

The information contained in the larticle was rather meager, so the additional news that has reached the editorial office will supplement (the previous announcement. On Sunday, April 27, 1952 Branch 52 will hold a pompous affair in St. Ladislaus Hall, 197 Somerset Street, New Brunswick to celebrate the 45th year of its inception. The program will begin at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. The Kara and Nemet radio orchestra has been engaged to furnish the music and songs for this delightful occasion. The entertainment committee has decided on a minimum, non-profit admission fee of only $2.00, for the festival is not intended for financial gain. New Brunswick area residents are requested to purchase Itheir tickets no later than April 15th, and those outside the area no later than April 12th. This is necessary in order to know how many suppers to prerare. There must be no waste as the non-profit nature of the banquet forbids it. The management of Branch 52 wishes to inform all those subscribing to the anniversary album that all profits accruing therefrom will be given to aid crippled children. Invitations have been sent to the National Officers, the Directors and {to the branches in and near New Brunswick. These invitations are’ The fried chicken supper that was held March 22d was a complete sell-out. A large crowd was on hand to take part in the affair. Music was played by Arthur Nagy and his orchestra. This supper was for the benefit of the Verhovay Softball team of this branch. Another supper will be held on May 10th. On the basis of comments heard, the supper was to everyone's satisfaction. The halfchicken per plate was worth every cent of the price paid. The Ladies’ Auxiliary deserves credit for preparing this delicious meal. COMING EVENTS On April 26th a supper will be held for the benefit of the Ladies’ Auxiliary. Music will be furnished by Arthur Nagy and his orcherstra. Members are urged to support the Ladies’ Auxiliary by taking part in these affairs. * * * The “Nu-Tones” orchestra will play at the Home on May 10th.

Mr. Cibolya was a mild-mannered. inoffensive man who easily gained the affection of those who had contact with him. He spent many years in loyal service to Verhovay. As branch manager he took a keen interest in the life of Branch 174; as district manager he spread his good deeds in the Eastern section under his jurisdiction, and his Verhovay sincerity was recognized both by the National Officers and the Board of Directors. Had Mr. Cibolya remained in good health he would have continued an active role in Verhovay for that name meant very much to him. Funeral services were held in Our Lady of Assumption Roman Catholic Church, Throop, Pennsylvania, with the Rev. Joseph Galambos officiating and Professor Andrew Pelak singing the requiem hymns. Fellow Verhovay members and friends from the Scranton and Throop areas were present in large numbers. Representing Branch 261, Forest City, Pennsylvania, was John Titko its manager, and Andrew Ta.kach, Manager of Branch 272, Jessup, Pennsylvania, represented his branch. The deceased was laid to rest in Mount Carmel Cemetery, Dunmore, Pennsylvania. The Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association expresses its sympathies to family of Joseph Cibolya.
