August 20, 1058 PAGE 5 — William Penn MOTOR CITY NEWS BRANCH 18-V — DETROIT, MICHIGAN (Formerly Branches 36-V and 443-V) By Jolán Lucas A FEW WORDS The fact that the regular branch meeting is held after the deadline of the WILLIAM PENN official or­gan oftentimes leaves your reporter with little or no news until the fol­lowing issue. This happens to be the case at this time. There is plenty of pertinent news to report, but it will have to wait until the September issue. The Annual William Penn Children’s Picnic was successful. A report has been written up by District Manager Stephen Úsztok and should be in this issue. Other matters will be re­layed in due course. The next regular monthly meeting of Branch 18-V will be held Sunday afternoon, September 14th, beginning at 2 p. m. at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall, 1125 Fort Street, corner of Montie Road in Lincoln Park, Mi­chigan. Please attend so that you may participate in discussions of our fall and winter activities — also bowling and Junior Club activities. Dues are payable at the district of­fice, 3920 Fort Street, Lincoln Park, or call WArwick 8-0887 for any and all information pertaining to your membership certificates. You will find that meetings in the new hall are delightfully interesting, especially since the merger. The build­ing is large, airy and well lighted, which makes it extremely appealing for the serious business of branch meetings. Those of us who attend regularly are already planning a series of social afternoons to be held di­rectly after the meetings, and in due time, with a little patience, it should be the center of WILLIAM PENN ac­tivities in the metropolitan area. So come to the meetings ,find out for yourselves!

The fishes were biting well and your reporter was in much need of some relaxation and the urge to commute with Mother Nature, please forgive me for having answer­ed the call of the wild. Everyone here at Branch 129-V is quite happy these days. The Tourna­ment money arrived and was distrib­uted to the winners. It was quite a tidy sum the Columbus bowlers brought home this time. At the last count it amounted to something like $1228.92. We here at Columbus can be justly proud of our achievements at these Tournaments since we have always been well represented. We have, to my knowledge, always had the largest number of teams and we have always brought home a large share of the prize money. I, for one, would like to give each and every one who represented our branch a pat on the back for a job well done. TOURNAMENT ILLS AND CURES Readers, we do not for one minute wish to criticize any of the Bowling Tournament Committee nor do we hold them responsible for the con­ditions Of the alleys we bowl on. We do however, think the Committee should have protested vigorously to the management to give us ABC sanctioned conditions to bowl under. Then, if the management would not have rectified the situation, the local ABC representative would have been called in. I am sure he would have gotten things straightened out for us. Needed were: Clean Alleys and Ball Returns, Tournament Wood to shoot at, and Hand Towels on the alleys as some bowlers hands sweat so much they need towels to keep them dry. We should have had a Shadow Ball on each alley in the team events, which is guaranteed under ABC. These things may seem very small to a lot of you, but to the bowler they are as important as the bat or glove a baseball player uses, or the equip­ment a football player uses to play football, or the clubs, balls and the condition of a golf course to a golfer. I am sure you will agree that in all these sports, and others, a contestant is very much concerned about the conditions he is to perform under and insists on the best at all times. We as bowlers are asking for the very same thing. We know and appreciate the fact that the Committee has a rough and hard job to do at these Tournaments and that it is giving its all in sin­cere effort. We think however, a change would be in order and that the bowling part of the Tournament — Fellowship Days ought be given baick to the bowlers. Let the bowlers deal with these problems. The Com­mittee would then be free to take care of the duties that demand its services. “How about it, Headquart­ers?” Why not invite some of us league presidents, secretaries and treasurers, past and present, to sit in on the meetings concernng the Tournament, and your Committee for the bowling be picked from among us ? Let us take over these responsi­bilities. I am sure you would be satis­fied and very happy with the results. WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT Shirley Ann Tokár, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Tokár, was mar­ried to Richard Carl Stedman on August 2d at St. John’s Evangelical Protestant Church. The wedding took place at 7:30 P. M. and a reception was held at Saxon Hall, 323 Wood­­row Ave., after the services. Friends of Branch 129-V, as your reporter and fellow member, I should like to take this opportunity to urge you to attend the regular monthly meetings. It is ät these meetings that you are informed of the policies of the Home Office and also our local branch. Fraternally your reporter, WILLIAM D. FRANKLIN 50 YEARS On July 4th of this year a Torrington, Connecticut couple, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Liptak, renewed their marriage vows at a Mass celebrated in St. Francis Church where they were united in wedlock 50 years ago on July 4, 1958. A family celebration followed the religious rites. Dinner was served at the Blackberry Inn, Norfolk, Connecticut, and gathered to honor the elder Liptaks were their two sons and two daughters with their spous­es, ten grandchildren and other close relatives. The Liptaks are both natives of Hungary and from what was then called Abauj-Torna county, he from Gönc and she, the former Julia' Janek, from Jászó, emigrating in 1906 and 1905, respectively. Coming to this country, Mr. Liptak first went to Bridgeport, then Stam­ford, finally settling in a third Connecticut city, in Torrington, where he found employment and has lived there from that time. He retired from the Ame­rican Brass Company Novem­ber 1, 1954. Mr. Liptak is a veteran mem­ber of our society having join­ed in 1912. He has been an active member for many years serving in such offices as branch secretary, local organiz­er and at present branch presi­dent. He was several times dele­gate to the national conven­tions. In his fraternal zeal Mr. Liptak has swollen the mem­bership of Branch 4-R, Torring­ton, Connecticut, with his children, grandchildren and numerous others. Our congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Liptak on their 50 th wedding anniversary.
