Page 10 June 16, 1965. William Penn Motor City News By JOLÁN LUCAS Due to the shortness of time between the end of the XXII ANNUAL NATIONAL BOWLING TOURNAMENT AND FELLOWSHIP DAYS in Detroit on Memorial Day weekend, and the Deadline of the WILLIAM PENN official publication, it was utterly impossible to give a thorough report of this successful fraternal, social and sports weekend. Therefore, a full and complete report of this reporter’s version of the glowing event will be given in the July issue. (Usually the hot summer months are lacking in too much news, and the MOTOR CITY NEWS will help to fill the void.) .We are all looking forward to Editorial Assistant Jozik’s report, and also anxious about the scores of the winners, which should be in this issue. More comments next issue. * * * BRANCH 18 will hold its annual summer picnic on Sunday, August 1st at the Magyar Park near Estral Beach in Newport, all day! The theme of the picnic this year will be an OLD-FASHIONED HUNGARIAN VILLAGE WEDDING. The first meeting of the executive and entertainment committee was held recently and plans are going more rapidly than expected. A full report should be ready for the next issue. * ¥ * In the meantime, take it easy until we meet again. THE FERRET SOUTHGATE COUNCILMAN STEPHEN G.

JOIN AND SERVE YOUR RED CROSS FAMOUS COMPOSER AND CONDUCTOR Miklós Teghze-Gerber, composer of more than 300 popular Hungarian songs, proved to one and all why he is so well-liked by audiences wherever he appears.

OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER GREETED BY SZABOLCS COUNTY BUDDIES Louis Fodor, official photographer of our national event, got the “thrill" of his life when he was “caught” on the wrong side of the camera. Stephen Danko, President of Branch 18 and Chairman of the Detroit Tournament Committee, joins with Auditing Committee member Nicholas Juhasz and Director Michael Faczan to get that warm “Szabolcsi Greeting”. The relief photographer (just for the record) was Director John Balia.
