The new season will be an even bigger one for the sports-minded Co­lumbus, Ohio branch has augmented its teams from a 6 team league to a 10 team league. The city’s Parsons Recreation, where the Branch 129-ers bowl, is, unfortunately, not large enough to accommodate more than a 10 team league, having only ten alleys. Were it not for this, there would be even more regular bowlers in the league. New bowling shirts are to be is­sued the Branch 129 bowlers. Fish­­fries and other events are sponsored by the branch to raise sufficient funds to dress the players and pro­vide other relevant needs. All this interest has helped build up the league into a very successful organization, as proved at this year’s accomplishments at the Chicago tourney, where Columbus won two top trophies and a number of cash prizes. .. Lou Tokar’s William Penn In­surance Ladies, backed by Sports­­loving District Manager Louis Tokár, are looking forward to carrying their league tó bigger results this season. Bowling at Branch 129 has done much for the Columbus Verho­­vayans in the way of fratemalism, cooperation and friendship, all to the benefit of the branch and the as­sociation. Branch 129 enthusiastically endorses bowling at every Verhovay branch, in light of the statement above. The William Penn Insurance Bowl­ing League bowls on JVlonday even­ings at Parsons Recreation in Co­lumbus. Fellow members, visitors and friends are invited to watch the happy Branch 129 bowlers.-----------------------------------------------­­Verhovay SEEKING JUDGESHIP% Journal---------------------------------------­August A.

I had the pleasure of attending the XXIII National Convention of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association during the week of Sep­tember 12-17, 1955, in Pittsburgh, Penna. I shall always remember this week and all the good people in Pittsburgh, the kind people who in7 vited me to their homes, made me feel as though I was still in Chicago amoung my own friends, relatives and Verhovay members. The con­vention itself gave me a very liberal education in the procedures and the work that has to be accomplished by a convention. I will close for this month as I have much work to do. I am quite a bit behind in securing new members, so, I have to go to work. To all the, Verhovay members, their relatives and friends, whoever is contemplating more or new in­surance, all I ask is: Please give me the opportunity to show you what Verhovay can do for you and yours.
