BRANCH 164 — CHICAGO, ILL. — SENTINEL By: ANDREW JANOVICS, Manager Two Verhovay Members Honored In Buffalo Our Columbus trip has come and gone. After checking with Ernie Taylor, the captain of the crew, we found that all of our bowlers and guests arrived home safe and sound. We had a wonderful time but arrived home tired, tired, tired. I guess the drive, the bowling, the dancing and excitement just wore ns out. Attending from our branch were Mrs. E. Csonka, Mrs. Nagy, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Földi, Mr. and Mrs. L. Fodor and Miss M. L. Fodor, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Janovics, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Taylor, Paul Toth and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Zubor, and Mrs. Danyi. We are very proud of our vice-president — Ernest Taylor — who won first place in the individual event, bringing home a beautiful trophy. He will also receive 60 dollars in cash. A couple of our othpr bowlers may come in on the minor prize list. We are PROUD of CHICAGO. All the five branches came in with prizes this year — Branches 37, 96, 164, 342 and 503. I would list the prizes and total pins for you, but 1 believe they probably will be published elsewhere in this or the next issue, and you can read the results there. We especially enjoyed our stay at the Columbus Verhovay Home, and their dinners of Hurka, Goulash, Fried Chicken and Chicken Paprikas at reasonable prices, which menus we found to be very very good. Therefore, to Columbus and to those at the Verhovay Home who made our stay so pleasant, we wish to say: Thank You! It was nice to see and talk to fellow Verhovayans from so many, places, California, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc. It was a treat to hear Hungarian spoken so frequently in the hotel lobby, in elevators, on the bus, in the bowling alley, in restaurants. But now — well — back to work. During my absence from Chicago wre bad two deaths of members of Branch 164. Departed from us to their eternal rest were: Andrew Hancz, who passed away May 29, 1952. To his widow, Mrs. Hancz, we extend our deepest sympathy: Bela Bozmanskv passed away June 1, 1952. To his widow, Mrs. Bozmansky, we extend our deepest sympathy. MAY THEY REST IN PEACE! On the sick list is Steve Balogh, John Drienka, Eugene Petrovits, and Andrew Risko, Sr. who is recuperating after an operation. Our member, Charles Korponya, suffered a couple of broken ribs. The stork left a dear little bundle at the home of the William Exners in Cicero. Mr. and Mrs. W. Exner are now the proud parents of a daughter born Saturday, May 24. She was named Nancy Rose and topped the scales at 7 lb. 7 ounces. Congratulations to the happy parents. I was glad to see many of you come to see our new' hall, and I hope that many of you attendee^ our social June 20th. I have received a few complaints from members who like this article but assert it is too short. Therefore, I am appealing to you all to send me any interesting news of members, so that we may all share in the enjoyment of the same. Till next time, adieu.--------------------------Winter is that season of the year when it’s colder outside a movie theater than it is inside. The trouble with some roads is that they don’t curve when some motorists do. Andrew Bandy and Alexander Varga, veteran Verhovay members and workers, were the honored guests of Branch 333, Buffalo, New York, when the branch and Buffalo area members assembled in the private dining room of a Tonawanda Street resturant to give double tribute in ceremonies held May 11, 1952, at 2:00 P.
