PAGE 6 William $ OTOR CITY NEWS BRANCH 36-V. — DETROIT, MICHIGAN By Jolán Lucas Penn August 15, 1956 Chicago Southside Branches Plan Hand Shake I By District Manager Frank T. Kajdi “Slow starts on big intentions So often meet the fate Of being tripped and tumbled By those little words ‘too late’ ” — Anon. So again a favorite quotation fits the mood of your old Ferret this month! I had the best intentions in the world of writing a typical sum­mer story all about fun and ad­venture on the Detroit * River and Lakes St. Clair and Erie, but due to a slow start I was “too late” (as usual) for anything lengthy. Besides, the weather hasn’t been too summery in the Motor City area, what with no spring to speak of, too few warm days, and the rest of the time only fairly pleasant. I liked it, but trying to “coax” the garden to grow in such unseasonable weather takes all my spare time and, the deadline reared its ugly head in a ferocious manner. It has been said about Mi­chigan weather that if one doesn’t like it, to wait a minute and it would change. It certainly does — rain when it’s not needed; hailstones in June and July, and large as goose eggs; cloudy in growing summer months; and lately we’ve been be­deviled by unreasonable tornadoes. So the river story will be in the September issue and I promise a whopper! ¥ * ¥ That this old gal does not attend branch meetings in the summer months (who wants to when the river and the boat are waiting?) has left me with very little in the way of branch news. The fact that the handful of faithful and loyal officers and members haven’t been wasting their time in the further planning of the Golden Jubilee (50 years) An­niversary Banquet and Dance of Branch 36 is of great significance The big event is well planned and we all in the metropolitan area are eagerly awaiting one of the most magnificent social events of the year. It will be held on Saturday evening, October 13, 1956, at the Hungarian Reformed Church Re­creation Hall, corner of Vanderbilt «tad Dearborn, beginning at 6 p.m. Joe Balint and his Orchestra have been engaged for this fine affair. Many plans are well along in the processing. From time to time you will hear more about this big cele­bration as we expect a huge crowd from many parts of the country. Re­serve your tickets now by calling any of the officers of the branch. More of this in next issue. In June, the William Penn Junior Club of the Motor City area elected its first officers, as follows: Presi­dent, Ida Jean Madarasz; Vice-Pre­sident, Geraldine Mohar; Secretary, Charlotte Mouser; and Treasurer, Stephen Danko, Jr. The first social event of the Junior Club was a pic­nic held on Sunday, June 19th, and there was quite a large turnout. Meetings (have been called off for the summer, but will begin again the first week of September. All mem­bers will be notified by mail. There are nearly fifty members by. now and more will be expected when the fall meetings begin. Those interested, be­tween the ages of 5 and 16 years, please call either Mrs. Stephen Dan­ko, at VInewood 3-3310; or Mrs. Geza Madarasz, at DUnkirk 1-3424 In regards to the William Penn Junior Club, an idea that District Manager* Stephen Lukacs and I have had for some years may soon be a reality rather than a dream. Both Mr. Lukacs and I felt that some de­finite program was needed to en­courage the youngsters to become aware of the William Penn Fraternal Association. Mrs. Danko informs me at this time that our pet dream may soon take effect — in short, Junior boys’ and girls’ bowling teams. There are quite a number of older teen­agers in the Junior Club who could easily form bowling teams and join one of the numerous Junior leagues in the area. I should like to bet any amount of money that our William Penn youngsters would have some of the nattiest bowling outfits in the vicinity, especially if the parents join in to help a little with the financing. Bowling is a major sport in this neck of the woods, indulging members of entire families, from the children to the grandparents. I know we our­selves make quite a showing on Sun­day afternoons with Pop Luke, Mom Jo, Skip, Larry, and their “Women.” The Andrew Konkolys have a young man who started to bowl before he was six years old and has won a couple of trophies in his Bantam Class. Their daughter Rosemary bowled with the women in one of the recent William Penn Tourna­ments, and she is just a teen-ager. Our Larry, won a plaque from the ABC at the age of 14, for achieving greatest average improvement for the season, and now bowls in the Mer­chants League at Belmar Lanes in Lincoln Park, in the same league as the Champion of Branch 36, Johnny Paycheck. If at all possible, I should like to volunteer my services in getting a William Penn Junior Bowling League going. I may not be any good at sel­ling insurance but — I say this humbly — I know much about bow­ling and organizing social affairs. Who knows, we may be encouraging future ABC and WIBC champions in our own fraternal association? I would like comments on this! * * * Thanks to Columnist J. J. Horvath and Field Manager Elmer Charles on the information sent to yours truly about organizing a sports club. Our intentions are big, even if we are getting a slow start, but sometimes it’s better late than never — and so we put the article to “bed.” Your old FERRET 12996 Rosedale Avenue Wyandotte, Michigan AVenue 5-0106. ----------'-aCyl&j---------­DO YOU KNOW? Over half of all applicants were accepted into the medical schools of this country last year, which in­cluded 7,576 admissions from 14,538 applicants. DO YOU KNOW? During the academic year of 1954- 55, the medical schools of the United States graduated more physicians, enrolled more students, and conducted more extensive research than at any other time in their history — reasons why people in this country are the healthiest in the world. The official seal of the William Penn Fraternal Association is a pair of hands clasped in hand shake. On the Southside of Chicago there are two large, strong and active branches. They are Verhovay 50 and Rákóczi 101. The officers, on behalf of the membership of Branch 50-V, ex­tended an invitation to Branch 101- R to attend one of the regular meet­ings of Branch 50-V, the purpose of which was to get acquainted and to symbolize an attitude of friendship and harmony between the branches. This meeting proved to be such My, how time flies! In a few short weeks it will be Labor Day and then a few short weeks later comes the glorious Fall! There just haven’t been enough hours in the day to do everything we wanted to do during this summer, but we all had a grand time at the Hungarian get-to­gethers. On July first we went to Heller­­town to attend the Bethlehem Evangelical Church picnic. On the 8th of July there was a large turnout at the Dalarda picnic in Hatfield, Pa. Among the large group, we noted the following WIL­LIAM PENN members: Mr. & Mrs. Goluski, Mr. and Mrs. Lovas, Mr. and Mrs. P. Gyuraki, Mr. and Mrs. A. Noel, Mr. and Mrs. S. Szemes, Zoltán Naszály, Mr. and Mrs. Ste­phen Mate, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Bolla, Mr. Stephen Pincehelyi, Messr. Zsolt, Rost and Glatz, Mr. and Mrs. D. Rosenfeld, Mr. and Mrs. S. Baj, Mr. and Mrs. S. Horvath, Mr. and Mrs. J. Aranyi, Dalarda President, and Mr. áhd Mrs. G. Hegyi, former Dalarda President. Branch 98 — WILLIAM PENN — held a picnic at the Vargyas Farm, Hellertown, Pa., on the 15th, and some of our members turned up there also. Then on the 22nd we motored in a sort of cavalcade to the green pas­tures of Trenton, N. J. to spend the day with our friends at the Trenton Branch of WILLIAM PENN. And to cap it all, some of us turned up at the Verhovay-Rakoczi picnic in New Brunswick, N. J. on the 29th. This happens to be Branch 19-R’s 45th anniversary, and the branch made the most of it. So you see, good friends, that every Sunday in July was taken up with a picnic. What we’ll do in Au­gust is still uncertain, but we’ll come up with something', never fear. * At this time we wish to congratu­late the following new members of Branch 76-V: Mary E. Walentukonis, Celestine Walentukonis, Mrs. Mary Walentu­­konis, Peter Wlosak, Anton Berger, Kenneth Berger. To each of you a hearty welcome! * For the first time in its 48-year history, Branch 76-V placed a picture of its officers and some of its mem­bers on the walls of its meeting room at 1144 N. Fourth Street, on the 14th of July during the course of the evening. All present had thoughts an inspirational start that the in­vitation was reciprocated, and from it grew a committee that has work­ed out plans for a joint “Hand Shake and Get Acquainted Banquet and Dance” to be held Sunday evening, September 9, 1956. It is desired to point out that the Chicago area members appreciate the significance of this coming affair. Formerly in friendly competition, the two branches, 50-V and 101-R, are about to embark on a program of friendly cooperation under the WILLIAM PENN banner. CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM! of the “founding fathers” of Branch 76-V who in their pioneering and subsequent hard work were able to keep the organization a thriving one. * We wish to congratulate Mr. Andrew Vargyas on his assuming. the branch managership of No. 98 in Bethlehem, Pa. f; * At this point I should like to men­tion to our members, who may not be aware or have forgotten the facts, that William Penn has a variety of protection both for adults and chil­dren. Practically all your insurance needs can now be filled by our so­ciety, and new types of protecting featúres make the insurance selec­tion at William Penn a wide one.
