June 18, 1958. PAGE 10 William Penn Noted Hungarian Man of Letters Dies George Szecskay, poet, author and journalist, died May 25, 1958 in St. Joseph’s Hospital after a week’s illness. He had been working in his garden, which year after year he developed into a floral display of local fame, when he'was suddenly taken ill. The 78 year old literary giant came from Hungary to The United States in 1905. He soon began distinguishing himself in American Hungarian literature. Among his works were four books of poetry and prose and he was writing a fifth volume at. the time of his death. For many years Mr. Szecskay was district editor of the American-Hungarian People’s Voice, a nationally circulated daily newspaper in the Hungarian language. The body was laid out at the Leo G. Sullivan- Funeral Home in the Hazelwood section of Pittsburgh, residence of the Szecskay family. Requiem Mass was held Wednesday at St. Anne’s Hungarian Roman Catholic Church, Hazelwood Pittsburgh. Burial was in the Queen of Heaven Cemetery. Survivors include the widow, the former Amelia Dobos, herself distinguished for her Pittsburgh area Hungarian activities over a period of many years; three sons, Francis, Alexander and George; five daughters, Mrs. Olga Szendy, Mrs. Eda Crist, Mrs. Lenke Braun, Mrs. Cecilia Darcy, and Gloria; and nine grandchildren. We bade farewell to George Szecskay, member of Branch 34-V, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Verhovay Convention Delegate in the 20s, and Hungarian literary light whose poetry and prose will ever be his monument in American Hungariana. Another tournament, and another champion from Toledo. Captain “Bus” Carone, and his Hertzfeld Olds team, came through for their second straight actual pin title. Although given a good scare for the first two games from the Lucky Five, the Hertzi'elds put on a good finish and another ibeautiful trophy plus cash was in the bag. Congratulations, champs. Steve Feyes with Julius Mikula teamed up for a 1266 handicap doubles which, at this writing, we hope it held up. Steve Verbosky with Gene Fielder had 1160 plus in actual, which also was tops after Friday night’s shooting. Hazel Vischer and her team came in second in actual pins again, and we are waiting when these girls are going to ring the bell for first place. Next year — we hope! There were other good scores shot, but we’re waiting for Phil Masley and his very cooperative group for the final scores. One person whom we missed in Philadelphia was our good friend from Buffalo — Joe Taylor. What happened Joe? Lynn Fetzer and Fritz Lesinszki almost didn’t make the tournament — The reason was a blow-out on a new tire. The William Krolak’s and the Ernest Belegrins celebrated their wedding anniversaries in Philadelphia. Jeno Bartal played them a special request. Congratulations to these fine people. Bill, do you still have the world in your hands? It didn’t look like it on alleys 31. and 32. This was the first tournament for the James Struffolino’s and the Steve Verbosky’s and from the looks on their faces, they were enjoying themselves very much. While meeting old bowling friends, it was nice to hear that they enjoyed themselves in Toledo. One of them remarked that THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE WILLIAM PENN FRATERNAL ASSOCIATION announces with profound sorrow the death of LOUIS NOVAK ACKNOWLEDGED MEMBER of the ASSOCIATION who, former Vice President of the Association, former Director, and former Member of the Auditing Committee, was for many years Manager of former Branch 30-V, Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, died May 20, 1958. The Board of Directors, in paying final tribute to the memory of our ACKNOWLEDGED Fellow Member, conveys, on behalf of the membership of the William Penn Fraternal Association, its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. it was the last time that we had chicken at a banquet. All we can say to that is: Come back to Toledo and we’ll serve chicken again. The good news is that Detroit and Cleveland are bidding for the next tournament — so we’ll go one further •— we’ll put in our bid for the 1960 tournament — when our city will be host to the grand show of bowling — the ABC. We saw some head scratching at the Glenwood alley's. Joe Filyo had a solid pocket hit and he looked back twice to see if it was true. It was. The number 7 and 8 pins were standing. The trip to Philadelphia and the Sheraton was made easy by Doris Walters, who works for the AAA’s. Thanks for your wounderful routing, Doris. In closing the Philadelphia tournament, we have one question to ask: WHO WAS THE CHARMING BOWLERETTE WHO GOT A WHITE ORCHID IN HER HOTEL ROOM AFTER SHE BOWLED A 198? On the sick list at Branch 27-V: Mrs. Stephen Takaes, John Mokri, Sr., Mrs. Leona Vishii, and Mrs. Stephen Kandik. A speedy recovery to each and every one of you. Our condolences to the families of Joseph Orosz, my neighbor, and to the Michael Kiss family, on the passing away of their beloved husbands and father. News to Me Department: Having known Oscar Kinsey, manager of the Kinsey Funeral Home, for a good many years, it came to me as a surprise when he wrote “J. Oscar Kinsey” on a legal document. I asked Oscar why the “J” in front, and he informed me that his first name is Julius, not Oscar. From now on, please address this gentleman as Julius. James Dale Vischer, son of the bowling Vischers, Hazel and Jim, Sr., is attending the University of Maine while in the Air Corps. He is a fine young man. Louis Cherko is sporting a new car. Ne excuse for not attending next year’s tournament, Louis. Dr. Andrew Winter just returned from seeing his sister in Paris, France Dr. Winter tells me that the Riveria and Switzerland are out of this world. He flew in non-stop from Shannon, Ireland to Detroit. Nice to see you back, Dr. Winter. Stork News; Mr. and Mrs. William Ondrus, a boy, William R., Jr.; Mr. and Mrs. James Henahan, a boy, Patrick Terrence. Congratulations. I heard a story on how a fellow fixed his flat tire at John Monoky’s Cafe. For the full story you must stop in at Monoky’s on Whittemore Street and ask Johnny. In the name of the Toledo bowlers, I want to wish “POP” Diliinger speedy recovery from his illness. We hope to see him personally at next year’s tournament. In closing, this will be my last column until the fall. Have a nice vacation, everyone. Athletic Post Given Phoenixville Member Joe Ujobai, member of Branch 159- V, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, was recently named backfield coach of the Conestoga High School grid team. The ex-Phoenixville High School, Pennington Preparatory (N. J.) and Gettysburg College football standout’s appointment came only three weeks after his assignment as a history teacher at the Main Line school. His acceptance was made at a meeting of the Conestoga High School Athletic Committee. A graduate of Gettysburg in 1954, Ujobai spent three years in the United States Air Force and was honorably discharged last July. He served at Houston, Texas and Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, ending his tour of duty as a personnel officer in Chambley, France. He attained the rank of first lieutenant. Ujobai’s record in athletics is a chain of achievements from Phoenixville High School, Pennington Preparatory and Gettysburg College. At Phoenixville High School he was rated as one of the brightest halfbacks, also participated in baseball, basketball and track; Pennington Preparatory saw Ujobai further his records in football and basketball; and at Gettysburg College this keen young man practically rewrote the football record books as he reached stellar heights. Ujobai’s athletic career is so full of achievements that space does not permit enumerating them here, but his twice receiving the Maxwell Award is a rare accomplishment that should receive attention even where space is at a premium. Ujobai is 26 years old and not married. He is the son of Mr. apd Mrs. Joseph P. Ujobai. His mother and sister are also members of Phoenixville, - Pennsylvania Branch 159-V.----------5 ^-------------You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward. * — James Thurber THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE WILLIAM PENN FRATERNAL ASSOCIATION announces with profound sorrow the death of JOHN SOLTÉSZ ACKNOWLEDGED MEMBER of the ASSOCIATION’ who, member of Branch 302-V, Hooversville, Pennsylvania, was one of the founders and did much to promote the progress of former Branch 82-R, which merged with Branch 302-V, died June 1, 1958.
