In order to avoid any misunderstandings such as occurred a few times in Columbus, jthe committee dared not enter any bar service agreement with the hotel management. Branch 27 of Toledo, which recently assimilated Branch 194 of Rossford, Ohio, will be the host branch. The Association will rely upon the assistance and cooperation of the active members and officers of this branch. The initial committee of the Toledo branch, now comprising District Manager Julius Vallay, President Stephen Takacs, Secretary Julius Kerekes, Auditor Joseph Beres, Joseph Poes, and John Mokri, former manager of Branch 194, will be enlarged very shortly. Plans are already under way for the solicitation of advertising for the 1953 Tournament Album. The officers and members of the Toledo branch already have pledged approximately 200 news members as their offering to the success of the tournament. A huge membership drive will be staged in Toledo under the direction of District Manager Julius Vallay assisted by Field Supervisor Leslie Dus. Every member will be asked to join the drive to put the campaign over the top. Dr. Géza Farkas, Editor-Publisher of the Toledo Hungarian- American Weekly, gave promise to lend us every aid possible to help us attain our goal and to publicize and promote the two-day celebration. It is a well-known fact that the bowlers at the last tournament freely expressed their satisfaction at having such fine alleys as we had at Riverview Recreation in Columbus. There were 30 alleys, all on one floor in a large, modern, air conditioned building, The 1953 tournament will repeat the same complete facilities, and probably the chief reason Toledo got the tournament is the fact that this city offered the most, modern, air conditioned bowling establishment we have had to date. The tournament will be staged in a half million dollar new building whit 42 alleys all on one floor — the size of this building is large enough to amaze most people. Mr. R. R. Diliinger, the Tournament Secretary, expressed the feeling of most bowlers, when informed of the selection, that the greater number of. alleys will certainly be appreciated by all the participants as it wil allow for a better scheduling of the teams. From among the many hotels recommended by the Toledo Convention Bureau, the committee advised the selection of the Commodore Perry Hotel, which is Toledo’s finest hotel. Arrangements already have been made with the hotel management. The bowlers and the guests will be assured headquarters in a friendly and very modern hotel. The Commodore Perry has 500 attractively decorated outside rooms planned for pleasant living away from home. In the midwest this hotel is widely known for the delicious food prepared by its chefs and catering department. The gracious hospitality of the Commodore Perry will make our tournament a long remembered event. The rules and regulations for the 1953 tournament will, be found elsewhere in this issue. We would appreciate it if all the team captains would clip the copy of these rules and regulations and be guided accordingly. We are well aware of the fact that the 1953 bowling season in now under way, and we hope that all the bowlers will have a successful year and that they will join us in making the biggest and finest tournament held to date. Articles of interest to our members concerning the tournament will be published in each monthly issue. We sincerely request every member to follow these news items for the very latest developments. Your Health From the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania and the Allegheny County Medical Society Baby has stomach trouble, too. Hunger is perhaps the commonest reason for abdominal pain in infancy. Although there is no way of telling whether it is actual pain or some other sensation, a lusty infant deprived of his food shows every indication of extreme distress. Overfeeding is a less common cause of abdominal pain in infants. With breast-fed babies, overfeeding is unlikely, and even with bootle-fed infants, quantitative overfeeding is not common. Genuine pain sometimes follows over-generous feeding of solid foods to young babies. Wind is an important cause of abdominal pain in babies. Mothers are sometimes surprised when told that air is normally present in every stomach and is not formed locally, but has been swallowed with the food. Babies, being less skilled in eating than older people, seem to swallow more air and become uncomfortable until relieved. \ Colic is fairly common in infants and is mainly due to dietary indiscretion and intestinal infections. Next to hunger, overexcitability is the commonest cause of abdominal pain in infancy. Modern living conditions is a cause of increase in this condition. New parents especially are tense i nd excitable, and given to reading too much about the management of I infants.
