PAGE 10 May 16, 1956. William Penn $ MOTOR CITY NEWS BRANCH 36 — DETROIT, MICHIGAN By Jolim Lucas As usual, the hardest thing to do is to write that first powerful sentence so that you will be sufficiently interested to read the rest of the article. However, since there are many things which I hope will prove of interest, the best way to do it is to dig in. First of all, I remember promising All children in the Motor City area between the ages of 5 and 16 years, both boys and girls, are welcome to join this club which is sponsored by Branch 36 and under the supervision of the above two adults members. Those boys and girls Who join in the month of May will be considered as charter members. To date there are about 26 members, with the possibility of many more before the end of May. Election of The first social event of the new club will be an outing this summer with a program of fine entertainment for your pleasure, and what is more important, those of you who are members of the club will have an opportunity to plan and help prepare for the first club affair. Parents are also being asked to help in the satisfactory organizing of this Junior Club which will not only be fun for the children but will also teach then* to plan and execute their own good times. Let’s have a good response on. this program. * * * Your Ferret also promised a story on three surprise parties to celebrate the 30th wedding anniversary of District Manager Stephen and Mrs, Lukacs, The first of these parties was given on March 1st by the good you information concerning the developments in the Sub-Teen and Teen-Age Clubs.* A very extensive drive will be made in the month of May to organize the club which will be called the “William Penn Junior Club”. Over a hundred and fifty letters and membership cards have already been sent out to junior order members, as follows: officers will be held the first or second Monday of June, notices to be mailed for your exact information. At the request of Mrs. Danko and Mr. Madarasz, a plea to parents is being made to help either financially or in other ways, such as contributing records, games, etc. Dues will be 25^ a month for each child. Any one interested, please fill out the following membership form and mail to either of the two addresses above: neighbors and friends of the Lukacs, Mr. and Mrs. John Kepenacs, and Mr. and Mrs. Julius Fazekas and two daughters, Barbara and Dolores, who presented the couple with a wedding cake and large bouquet of flowers and many other refreshments. On March 4, daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Erno Korody and children; daughter Helen and spouse, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Toth and daughter; also the third Lukacs (laughter, Margaret and! spouse, Mr. and Mrs. George Bosnian and son, surprised their parents with a party including the following guests: sister Helen of Mr. Lukacs, Mr. and Mrs. John Bacsó, friends Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bodnar and Mrs. Gross and son Louis, who also brought refreshments, wedding cake and many gifts. Then on March It the officers, both present and past of Branch 36 surprised the Lukacs couple with still another party, bringing as gifts 30 red, longstemmed roses, refreshments and wedding cake, and presented the by now very happy couple with a silver set. The guests at this third party were: Branch president Martin Marton and Mrs. Marton; former branch president Joseph Heck and Mrs. Heck; recording secretary John Denes and Mrs. Denes; controller Joseph Marczis and Mrs. Marczis; auditor Steve Kopcsek and Mrs. Kopcsek; sick visitor Stephen Jozsa and Mrs. Jozsa. At this party the Lukacs daughters, husbands and grandchildren, were also present. Luke and I were supposed to go, but due to the laryngitis of your Ferret, we both felt that neither one of us would enjoy this grand celebration. However, we all wish continued happiness and a long life to Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Lukacs * * * Developments for the selection of new headquarters for the William Penn Fraternal Association in the Detroit area are moving along at a snail’s pace. Despite the fact that our lease will be ended in September, progress for the new selection of a new office is still a mystery. Sevei’al good locations have been looked into, but the House Committee doesn’t seem to be in agreement, which in Detroit history is nothing new. The soundest and most sensible idea was a store and office building on Fort Street in Lincoln Park, with good frontage, large office space and a good sized area in the rear which would have been used for branch meetings until a fraternal home of dignity could be found. The price seemed fair, considering the high price of Fort Street frontage, but there we are, nothing! Let’s hope something is found soon; competition in the insurance business is brisk as there are several new modern branch offices of large insurance companies in the down river communities. More will be written as soon as furthér progress is made. * * * With the Junior Club well on the way to being organized, some of us would like to go ahead with a Sports Club. For this, I should like to ask J. J. Horvath of Cleveland for his expert advice and information. The Sports Club in Cleveland sounds like an efficient and going concern, and it isn’t hard to see that financially it must be a success since there are always so many Cleveland bowling teams at the National Tournaments. As far as that goes, we would like to hear from other sports clubs, such as in Alliance and Columbus^ Ohio, also, the sports club of South Bend, Indiana, and other communities. Any advice, information or suggestions you can give us will be entirely welcome. Drop a line to the Ferret at the address below. We have about ten or fifteen bowling teams ready to organize. Speaking of bowling, five teams from Branch 500 who were all ready to go to Buffalo for the National Bowling Tournament, will be unable to go due to a wedding in the Boldizsár family, on May 12. Joe and Olga Boldizsár are members of Branch 500 and their younger son will be married, and the entire branch practically, will attend the wedding, including the five bowling teams. They are a splendid group there, always sticking together through all manner of social and sports events. I know they will be missed in Buffalo this year. As for the champion bowler at Branch 36, John Paycheck and his Maskeny Distributers’ bowling team finally won the championship of the Sunday Morning Merchants League at Belamar Lanes in Lincoln Park. JOIN!!! JOIN!!! JOIN!!! We are organizing a club for boys and girls, to be called the “William Penn Junior Club”. There will be lots of fun in store... elect your own officers, dancing, games, parties, etc. Official meetings will be held the first Monday of each month. Come join our club. Our get-togethers are every Monday evening at 6:30 p. m., at 8005 West Jefferson Street — known as the “Verhovay Home”. We would like to have you as a member, so, won’t you join? For further information call: Mrs. Stephen Danko 751 Anderson Detroit 17, Mich. VI. 3-3310. Mr. G. Madarasz OR 1580 Michigan Blvd. Lincoln Park, Mich. DU. 1-3424. MEMBERSHIP CARD Name (first) (middle) (last) Address Street City and State Age- Month Day Year Telephone No. Father's Name Mother’s Name Tuitions Paid Jan, May Sept. Feb. June Oct. Mar; July Nov. April Aug. Dec. John collected season awards for rolling the team’s high series, 691, and high single game of 278, both scores coming on the last day of bowling. Too bad a bowler of Paycheck’s high calibre will not attend the William Penn Tournament, but only one team from Detroit is entered this year. Perhaps you can all see the urgency of organizing a sports club so that many social affairs be held for fund raising, and other reasons, for the bowling teams of the Motor City area. So hurry with help, J. J. Horvath. We need it! * * * Mr. and Mrs. John Farkas of branch 36, who live in Allen Park, were in Florida recently and spent some time in a restaurant run by, of all people, Margie and Ernie Nemeth, formerly of New York City and Branch 48. Margie sent your Ferret a message and, all I can say is. wait for that letter, Marge old girl. The seeds have to be put into the garden, and while they are germinating, I will have time to get caught up on my correspondence. I hope you two are happy in Florida — must be! More next month. Let’s get those applications in for the Junior Club — let’s have suggestions for the Sports Club.
