One of the highlights of the Chicago trip was a visit to the Bakery Restaurant at the invita­tion of Chef Louis Szathmary. National President Gay B. Banes and Fraternal Director Eliz­abeth Szabó were treated to the finest cuisine at Chef Szathmary’s establishment. Their host also graciously took time from his busy schedule to show them his magnificent library of cook books, Hungarian histori­cal and American-Hungarian books, artifacts and collectibles. Most impressive was the collec­tion of original documents and source materials, including those with such names as Zoltán Kodály and Louis Kossuth. Dr. Szathmary was kind enough to show his visitors many original letters signed by Kossuth, the great Hungarian patriot, and Kodály. These were only some of the highlights of the visit to the Bakery Restaurant, where on dis­play were other interesting folk items hand-made by Dr. Szath­mary from corks, match packs and money. President Banes and Mrs. Szabó also had the great pleasure of visiting with Hungarian Catholics in the area and met with Pastor Elmer Ordog. The officers also met with scout leader Julius Nades, dance leader Mr. and Mrs. Karoly Nemeth and others who were all interested in knowing more about the Wil­liam Penn. They also accepted an invita­tion from Branch 15 President Frank Balogh to attend a meeting of the branch’s bowlers. They learned Chicago will again be well-represented at the National Bowling Tournament in Toledo. Bowl — “From Page 1 are asked to make their reserva­tions as soon as possible.

Branch News Branch 129 members return from travels By AI Bartfay Branch 129 Reporter COLUMBUS, OH — Columbus members have been on the go in recent months — by land, sea and air — some for "profit,” but most for the pursuit of pleasure. Charlie Boso has returned from Cincinnati where he attended the "Mr. Goodwrench School” oper­ated by General Motors. Charlie runs Boso’s Garage on Kossuth Street in south Columbus. Many of our members attest that Charlie is a good man to know. Frank and Vi Peterfy are back from a late March vacation in Florida. They arrived home in time to eye witness Columbus’ surprising weekend 24-hour re­cord snowfall that started April 3. The 12 inches of snow, which melted quickly, was amazing espe­cially since we had almost now snow up to then this past winter. A1 Bartfay, treasurer of the American Hungarian Educator’s Association, attended the 12th annual conference of the organiz­ation in late April. It was held at New Jersey’s Montclair State Col­lege in Newark. Irene Voss recently returned from a trip to Las Vegas. Irene discovered that there was more to Las Vegas than that it is the home of college basketball’s num­ber one rated team for most of the past season. "Három barátok” from Branch 129 will soon be enjoying a cruise to the Caribbean Islands. The three Magyar caballeros are Rose Finta, Helen Bendixsen and Anna Tomolak. You will also find Branch 129 members at the upcoming nation­al bowling and golf tournaments. Our members have that cigány spirit. Two dates Columbusites want to put on their calendars are June 10 and Aug. 12. Those will be the dates of the next two regular meetings of the branch at 7:30 p.m. at Leonardo’s. All members are welcome to attend for fellowship, food, re­freshments and fun. For more information call (614) 268-2320. Br. 34 members enjoy retreat at Mt. St. George By Michael Kara Branch 34 President PITTSBURGH - Joe said it would. Bob said it would. The man on the roof said it would. And it did. 15 inches of it. But the pioneering spirit of the mem­bers of Branch 34 was bigger than the year’s biggest snow storm on April 3, 4 and 5 when 12 mem­bers of the branch used the facil­ities of Mount St. George Retreat House. The spiritual and worship act­ivities were capably covered by Father Edward Stoehr. Everyone had a good opportunity to com­plete their Easter duty. The good Sisters of the Home served five outstanding meals in the guest diningroom of the main building. This alone was worth the trip in 15 inches of snow. During breaks the men enjoyed fun, fellowship, reminiscing, snacks and refreshments. Thanks to Mr. Paul Kovács, administrator, and his staff, every­one had a wonderful time, and at the time of departure Sunday morning, all had pledged to return. The officers and members of Branch 34 highly recommend to other Association branches to use the wonderful facilities at Mount St. George. Branch 8164 learns Easter craft STEUBENVILLE, OH — Branch 8164 members got into the Easter spirit when they made crosses and wreaths from palm branches during their April 13 meeting. Albert DiFalco and Lucille Buf­­fone served as instructors for the session. National Auditor Louis Fodor addressed the members on the upcoming national bowling and golf tournaments and on the cur­rent renovations at Mount St. George. Branch 71 student wins trip to study in Japan DUQUESNE, PA — Melissa Kalo of Gibralter, Mich., and a member of Branch 71, recently was selected as one of 10 winners in the Mazda-YFU Japan Scholar­ship Program. As a scholarship winner, she will study in Japan as part of a student exchange program. Melissa, 17, is a senior at Oscar A. Carlson High School in Gibral­ter.
