FRATERNAL SOCIETIES COOPERATING WITH BLOOD DONOR PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) At the 10th Annual National Verhovay Bowling Tournament in Toledo we went about seeking to learn the impressions our giant sports rally had on various persons seeing the matches — members and non-members, visitors and guests, friends and total strangers, and so forth. This, direct and indirect, in the order of the interviews, is how they expressed their sentiments: SAM WALKER, colored, pinman at Hagerty Bowling Center, site of our tournament — Sam spoke so fast, no doubt because our Verhovay bowlers had him going at top speed, that we couldn’t take down his direct quotation. We noted, however, that his whole approach was a negative one. Sam kept muttering that affairs such as our tournament' made his work much harder and faster. Well, thanks, Sam, for your efforts in Verhovay’si behalf. E. D. HULL, vice president, Hagerty Bowling Center — “I’m sure it draws your members closer together. I feel it is conducive to a greater membership. It’s a beautiful idea.” DAVE HULL, manager, Hagerty Bowling Center, son of the above — This personable! young man voiced substantially the same opinion as his father, although on a different occasion and without knowledge that his father had been interviewed. JOHN ISABELLA, Saturday driver of our chartered bus — “I think it’s wonderful... should be more like this. It’s real nice.” JACK HAGERTY, 76 year old owner of Hagerty Bowling Center, nationally known in bowling — “I think it’s very outstanding.

The work connected with them, is tough.” JOE OWENS, colored, pin captain, Hagerty Bowling Center — Joe said our turnout was quite an impressive showing, and he promised his pin setters would keep the games going smoothly. JOSEPH BODNAR, member1 of Branch 138, Gary, Indiana — This gentleman gave credit to our tournaments as doing the most for Verhovay fraternalism. J. C.
