M., was kept busy bringing new arrivals to the grove. The single men were the champs of the first ball game. The major ball game was played in the early afternoon and, glory be, the married men won 10 to 8. The Daniel Igyarto’s barbecued spareribs and passed them around. My wife tells me it was delicious. I’m sorry I missed it. The races started and the young, as well as the not quite so young, enjoyed themselves racing. Then came the rope pulling contests among the strong husky men. Sepessy’s orchestra played their’ stirring melodies from 3 to 10 P. M. To my knowledge, our first aid department had to be used just twice, once for Mrs. Torres, Who cut her finger, and once for Paul Mate, who slightly hurt himself playing ball. The door prize, a $25.00 permanent wave, was won by Mrs. Papp of Kostner Avenue. The other prizes were a quilt, a chenille bed spread, two sets of hand-crocheted dresser scarfs and a set of six; towels. I am sorry I do not have a list of the winners, but I do hope they enjoy their prizes. The last bus, leaving the grove at 10:15 P. M., was filled with happy, tired people who had enjoyed their day thoroughly. \ The memory of this great day shall stay with us always! July 4th a group of us went to Black Oaks, Indiana, to attend the picnic ~of Branches 55, 130 and 1381 The grove was lovely. Our appetites were with us, and we thoroughly enjoyed .the delicious pork sandwiches which the women had just finished frying. We had a very pleasant time and were reluctant to leave, especially when the band was playing such a good csárdás, but as we were to attend the Rákóczi picnic on the North Side of Chicago, We took our leave about 4:30 P. M. Traffic was heavy and it was 6:30 by the time we arrived at the Rákóczi picnic, but we still had plenty of time to greet our friends, partake of food and liquor and dance to our hearts’ content. The Clifford Olsens have a lovely baby daughter, Debra Sue, who was born June 29 at Bethany Hospital land tipped the scale at six pounds. Congratulations to the proud parents. the proud grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Fodor of Phoenix, Arizona; and the proud great-grandmother, Mrs. Andrew Kovács. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Soo are the proud grandparents of their 14th grandchild who was born to their daughter, Mrs. Marosy. The baby, Veronica Ann, was born May 5, at a healthy 8 lbs., 14 ounces. Congratulations to the parents and grandparents. Correction! Last month We reported the birth of a baby to Mrs. Maar’s daughter. Actually, the baby was born to her daughter-in-law, Betty, who is the wife of Mrs. Maar’s son, Andrew Gyenes. The baby, Sharon Ann, born April 24 at the Lutheran Deaconess Hospital, weighed 8 lbs.
