VoL X .. NOVEMBER 20, 1957 NUMBER 11. NATIONAL BOWLING TOURNAMENT AND FELLOWSHIP DAYS 1958 During the past decade and a half, not only the membership of the Wil­liam Penn, but also the friends of the Association, look forward to the decision ©f the Board, as to where the next Bowling- Tournament and Fellowship Days shall be held. In a resumé of the Board of Di­rectors meetings, which appeared in the last issue of the Journal, the readers were advised that the Board of Directors had selected the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, Pa. as the site of the 1958 National Bowling Tournament and Fellowship Days. Philadelphia, the city of William Penn, rich in historical tradition, is an appropriate city for the William Penn Fraternal Association to hold its Tournament. We feel certain that Branches all over the country, will be pleased to know that on May 31st and June 1st, 1958 Philadelphia will be the host city to the National Bowling Tourna­ment. The City of Philadelphia offers many historical spots for tourists to visit and we believe that the Bowlers, Members and Friends of the Associa­tion will enjoy the 1958 Tournament. Under the direction of Mr. Elmer CHARLES, Field Manager, who is the Tournament Administrator, the Bowling Tournament Committee, con­sisting of Mr. John P. BALLA, Mr. Albert 1BOS and Mr. Mike KOROSY, Directors will do everything within their power to make this tournament a successful one. Branches 76-V and 76-R of Phila­delphia, Pa. have assured the Home Office that, the Local Bowling Tour­nament Committee will do their ut­most to bring about complete success for the Í958 Tournament. Already a committee lias been formed, to com­mence work on making preparations for the coming Tournament. The Committee Chairman is: Lász­ló L. HORVATH, Vice Chairman: Anthony Noel, Recording Secretary: Rudy MICSEO, Corresponding Sec­retary: Stephen SZEMES, Jr. and Treasurer: John M. MIKULA. According to reports received at the Home Office, many Branches which in the past have not sent a bowling team to the National Tour­nament are planning to attend the 1958 National Bowling Tournament. A record turnout of teams is expected for the Philadelphia Tournament. Those Branches, which up to the pre­sent time, do not have a Bowling Team, may still make arrangements in the National Tournament, Those inquiring as to the rules and regu­lations about bowling, should contact the local City Bowling Association, which is a branch of the American Bowling Congress. This Association will give you the necessary informa­tion about forming teams and leagues. Headquarters for the Tournament and Fellowship Days will be Phila­delphia’s newest hotel, which was opened to the public early this year, namely, the Sheraton Hotel. This truly modern, up-to-date hotel has assured us that there will be plenty of rooms for all who make their re­servations in time. From month to month, we shall furnish all members with information on the progress of preparations for the 1958 Tournament, through the pages of this Journal. Preparations should be made at all Branches now for the 1958 Tournament.
