NEW PRESIDENT OF U.M.W.A. Dist. 5, TESTIMONIAL 31st National Bowling Tournament For thirty years now the William Penn Association has sponsored a Bow­ling Tournament where the bowlers of the various branches throughout the country gather for a week-end of bow­ling for valuable prizes and a week-end of fun and frolicing, renewing old friendships and making new ones. The 31st National Tournament will be held in Detroit, Michigan May 25- 26, 1974. The Tournament Co-Administrators are Directors Rev. An­drew P. Jacobs and John P. Veszprémi, Jr. with Mr. Gus G. Nagy Field- Assistant to the President coordinating. As of this writing of course none of us know, how if at all the gasolene shor­tage will effect plans for our National Tournament. Only once before, during W.W. II were changes necessary. We do not know what will happen but we are making plans with the Tournament hoping everything will be alright and our annual get-together will be suc­cessful. The second annual Scholarship Dinner-Dance is also scheduled for the City of Detroit to coincide with the Tournament.

The evenings program served to provide those in attendance with know­ledge and information about Mr. Antal’s more than thirty years of dedicated service to the cause of the coal miners plight. Mr. John P. Balia, President of Branch 296, welcomed the assembled guests on behalf of the membership. He then introduced Mr. Elmer Charles, National President of the William Penn Association, as the Toastmaster for the evenings program. Mr. Charles extended greetings and explained how the William Penn Asso­ciation through its varied and modern insurance programs has afforded Union members with the type of life insurance benefits needed to protect their fami­lies, and how through proper program­ming Unionism and Fraternalism go hand in hand. Toastmaster next called upon George Charles, Jr. to lead the audience in the singing of the National Anthem. This was followed with the invoca- Continued on Page 2 L. to R.
