Branch 13 Trenton, NJ by Elsie Radvany It is with profound sorrow we extend sincere condolences to Joseph Hamari, National Auditing Commit­tee member, and his family on the passing of his beloved wife, Marga­ret. Margaret was a loyal and dedi­cated member of Branch 13 and served as branch coordinator. She was also very active at the American Hungarian Civic Association where her husband is an officer. She will be truly missed, and remembered in our prayers. May she rest in peace. The 59th Annual Bowling Tourna­ment and Scholarship Days held in Akron, Ohio, over the Memorial Day weekend ended on a very successful note. We thank Branch 44 Akron, the tournament administrators and the Home Office staff for the fine effort put forth to make this such an enjoyable weekend. Our congratula­tions to all the prize winners, espe­cially Margo Beke and Steven Beke who represented our branch at the tournament and received prizes in the doubles and team events. The officers of Branch 13 attended the annual meeting of the WPA's scholarship foundation held in conjunction with the tournament. Donations and pledges received from those attending this meeting amounted to $10,700. The net pro­ceeds from all the weekend's activi­ties equalled $15,777. Our sincere thanks go to everyone for their kind generosity and for helping enhance this great fraternal benefit for our children.
