Ivancso 1 siaisia SiSas & * * While listening to the radio the other evening, it surely made me feel cool when I heard the lovely “Autumn Leaves.” As I sat back and relaxed in my easy chair, the Convention came to my mind — its special importance this time. The latest issue of the Journal informs us that approximately 100 delegates will take part at the convention. As we all know, a contest is being held among the delegates as to who can recommend the most new members between July 1 and September 1. Wouldn’t it be a “job well done” if all the delegates could produce at least one million dollars worth of new insurance? This would be a wonderful start for our William Penn Fraternal Association. Fellow delegates, I know that you all have fraternalism in your hearts, so the next few days let’s go out to make this a banner delegate contest. Let’s go “over the top” and show our National Officers that, as delegates, we can do ä job, too! This being vacation time, quite a few members of Branch 27 are taking advantage of the heat and jorneying to the cool waters of the state of Michigan. The Toka sisters, Mary Ann and Margaret, were in Michigan cooling off at one of the state’s beautiful lake resorts. Brother John and his wife, Mary Ann, and little Darlene, spent a relaxing week at Irish Hills. All three came home happy and well-tanned! To me, it was a surprise to see Johnny’s mid-section so well “roasted.” I never knew that the sun could shoot hot rays at such an angle! Louis Cherko sent me a postal card from New York City. Louis and his mother and father went East. I wonder what kind of fish he’s trying to catch on the Eastern shores ? The Emery Fabos family just returned from their vacation in the Carolina’s. They tell me that the country is simply beautiful “down South.” Ann Fabos just returned from a two-month trip. She, lucky girl, visited Europe, all the countries we read so much about and wish we could see! Nancy and Dick Sendi just returned from their vacation up the Straits. While we were “sizzling” here in Toledo, they were really comfortable. Pleasant weather all the time. Remember in last month’s journal I mentioned that Dick Nagy went to Italy? Well, we offer our congratulations to the bridegroom. He married the lovely girl while he was in Italy. We’il wish the bride the very best when we meet her next month. Say, Dick, maybe she’ll help you improve your .bowling? Mr. Joseph Poch, Sr., came into the district office last week, smiling very happily. For a while, I thought that he had a second crop of cherries on his tree, which yours truly helped to pick off. As it turned out, it was better than that: Mr. Poch proudly announced that he was a grandpa again and that the little- one’s name is Victor Hanus. Mr. Poch, being a long hard worker for Verhovay, had Victor signed up in our organization. Our congratulations to the proud parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bart Hanus, and thanks again to our good friend, grandpa Joseph Foch, Sr. The following is a “must see” for visitors who come to Toledo: St. Stephen’s Church was renovated. The rare work was done by Kalman and Magdalena Czimbalmos, our Verhovay members from Staten Island, N. Y. As our very distinguished editor of the “Toledo” — Toledo’s only English-Hungarian Newspaper—Dr. Géza Farkas commented: “Your eyes just can’t get their fill of the beauty that these people left here in this church.” Rev. Alexander Pinter, Administrator of St. Stephen’s Church, was beaming with pride and happiness as he viewed the finishing touches to the pillars — they look as tho built of marble. Rev. Martin Hernady, assistant at St. Stephen’s, told me: “This is the most beautiful church among Hungarian churches in America.” Our sincerest thanks to the Czimbalmoses for their wonderful artistic work. Their friendship will remain with us for as long as we live. They are grand people, and it was our pleasure to meet them. We wish them much deserved success in the future. Summer must surely be flying past very fast. The other evening the telephone rang. My doubles partner, “Doby” — Jula Vargo — called me and wanted to know if I had started to practise yet. I then asked him what—he meant, and he said the “spring” training is here for the bowlers — so, here we go again! Pvt. James Ivancso is visiting his parents for three weeks before he leaves for overseas duty. I might add that I’m mighty proud of my brother Jimmy. He’s getting to be a splendid speciman of manhood. Good luck to you, Jim! With my other half and the children leaving for a two week vacation to Windber, Pennsylvania, here’s “lonesome George” saying: So long until next month. Bowling Champions Honored by Alliance Branch At a special meeting held in the Alliance, Ohio Verhovay Home, Br. 189 of the same city paid honors to its 1955 Verhovay Bowling Tournament champions Wednesday evening, June 22, 1955. Seen above with their trophies, and bowling league president Frank Balogh, who made the presentation of the coveted prizes, are V. Steen, left, and D. Trumpeter, right, winners in the Two-Woman Event. In addition to her championship, D. Trumpeter was second in the One-Women Event. Other noteworthy gains by the keglers of the Alliance Verhovay Bowling League were: In the Men’s Division Reynold’s Diner, Branch 189, Alliance, Ohio won high one game out of money (actual pins), score 955. In the Two-Man Event: 33d place — J. Mainwaring and K. Trumpeter; 44th place — N. Perri and F. Balogh, Jr. Individual Prize Money: 24th place — Lou Nagy; 47th place — Mike Korosy; 51st place — F. Balogh, Jr.; 61st place — W. Stieb. Leag-ue President Balogh congratulated all the winners and thanked the bowlers as a group for their fine spirit of co-operation and sportsmanship. Checks were distributed by treasurer J. Sera and branch manager M. Simo. These checks were given to each bowler to help defray traveling expenses to the 1955 tournament city, Chicago. This was made possible by the selling of tickets and the procuring of advertising space on the wall of the Alliance Verhovay Home. The success of this twofold campaign is another tribute to the bowlers of the Alliance Verhovay Bowling League. A report of the past years activities was made by J. Mainwaring, league secretary. In the election of officers for the 1955-56 season of the Alliance Verhovay Bowling League, the results follow: President — F. Balogh Vice President — L. Ream Secretary-Treas. — J. Mainwaring The meeting was closed after a short discussion of the next season’s activities.
