1944 / Verhovay Journal
February 10, 1944 Verhovay Journal '"r>=#5*=^t • • S P O R T S • • BOWLING According to the reports coming in from the various branches that have bowling teams, it looks as though our members are really taking their bowling more seriously than ever before; and this in spite of their many activities and duties in war plants and home. Some teams have arranged match games and are coming out on top as winners. Our teams certainly do not want to stay in the background when it comes to bowling, but are giving their opponent plenty of competition. Some of our players are breaking into print in their local papers. Which makes the rest of us Verhovayans very proud of the fact that our players are carrying the name VERHOVAY forward. Just which team is the greatest is rather difficult to say at this time; for they are all tops in their own locality. All the players who step up to the foul line to play their game have fine wrist action, which is necessary to play a good game. When the ball leaves the hand and goes rolling down the shining alley, it usually hits its mark with a bang and down go the pins. It is then the player breaks into a wide smile and while the rest of his teammates cheer, he boasts of the “men” his ball got. Once| in a while a ball may miss its mark and roll down the gutter without striking a pin; but this does not discourage the player. On the contrary, it serves as an incentive to spur him to carry on, for he knows that the next time, or the next, he will make a better hit and knock down “all the wooden men who stand so defiantly at the other end of the alley.” As a matter of fact, when the player’s scores are added up at the end of the game, he finds that he didn’t do so bad after all; for his scores added to the grand total made by the other players, helped his team to win. Then, too, the captain of the team never spares himself or his players; for he gets into the game and plays as though his very life depended upon winning the game. This is the kind of spirit that shows real initiative and leadership. Also, it is the captain’s understanding of every player that helps to carry the team on to victory. The members of the branches who have a bowling team or teams are “right proud” of the men and women who take time out from their many other duties to participate in this sport. Their eyes fairly pop with amazement when their “Joe” or “Mary” make a strike. The cheering is gratifying to the players and helps to keep them in the game with a determination to win; for it would be pretty discouraging to the players on a bowling team if the other members of their branch did not cheer them when they needed it. For it is team-work on the part of the players plus the encouragement of their fellowmembers who watch their games, that helps a team forge ahead. Thus are Verhovay games won, by all players working together and sharing the work as well as the fun, for it is one hundred per cent team-work that wins a game and not the individual. Much success to all you fine Verhovay Bowlers!

Too bad you gals couldn’t make it some other week-end, as I had a beautiful idea forming in my bean where we could have our own private Ladies’ Tournament from the middle-west branches. Figured it’d be nice to have Milwaukee, Chicago, South Bend (not the class A bowlers, but branch 434 bowlers), and DearFEBRUARY 2,1944 Mary Kuritar _____133 104 Mary Fisher______159 120 Jolán Lucas, capt._112 113 Rose Horvath_159 144 Helen Kastura ___127 145 690 626 Lulu Bell ________130 112 Ann Major ______135 140 born, all together at one time and roll off for “tops” in western district. However, was informed that our team rolls in the Detroit Women’s Bowling Tournament on Sunday, March 26, and seeing as how the only other open day is Easter Sunday, we thought we’d better grab the best offer. So good luck to you gals, and we’ll be wishing we were there when youhave your matchgame.

Now we can’t even imitate our very superior government and plan for the future as they are doing. Seems as though we all have a job to do — we have ours, which is to keep the morale of the defense workers “sky-high”. I don’t like dictators — after all, whether we hold a National Verhovay Bowling Tournament, in 1945 or 10 years from now, where’s the harm in hoping? To me, faith in human nature and future events, has always been more important than this un-ceasing pessimism of the present. Let’s have our dreams, at least! BRANCH 33, WINDBER, PA. All members are requested to kindly pay their monthly dues not later than the 24th of each month. All dues have to be forwarded to the Home Office on or before the 25th of each month, therefore, the 24th is the last day on which dues may be paid for the current month. All members who are in arrears with their dues are urged to pay up now, that working conditions make it possible. Sickness should be reported to the Branch-Manager on the first day of the sickness, lest the member should suffer a reduction on his claim. The day of reporting the sickness is considered the first day of the sickness according to the By-Laws. The manager must report the sickness on a postal card to the Home Office. Do not delay, therefore, to report sickness to the manager immediately! — We urge those members who have not as yet paid the price of the banquet tickets for 1942, to do so without fail. The branch can send flowers to the deceased members and make arrangements for the customery services in behalf of the deceased only, if expenses can be met. These tickets are for that purpose: therefore, please do your fraternal duty and pay them at ycur earliest convenience. Fraternally, GEORGE MODOK, Mgr.----------:—v-------------NOTICE BRANCH 475.
