April 30, 1947 Verhovay Journal SUNKIST SOUTHERN • |!: CALIFORNIA ECHOES By Albert B. Steinmetz j Member of Branch 525 : — EXTRA SPECIAL NEWS — That long awaited actionpacked night has come, when that fine, clean cut VERHOVAY CLUB BOWLING TEAM from the “Hoosier State” South Bend, Indiana, invaded our fair “Sunkistland”. Friday night April 18th was the night when the VERHOVAY TEAM from Branch 132 bowled and the Verhovayans all over this land should be quite proud of the Boys’ achievement, here at the great A.B.C.’s 44th Annual Tournament, that Yours Truly witnessed. I’m sure that a first hand report by a “dyed-in-thewool” Verhovay Reporter is welcomed. So here goes my unbiased report. As I sat there right behind Alleys 36 and 35 I saw every ball rolled and every pin “chopped off”, by this great team whose members are, in the order they bowled: Mr. Joseph Nagy Jr., Mr. Joseph Marko, Mr. Frank Freitag, Mr. Rudolph J. Koloszar, Mr. Ray Phillips, Captain. ❖ * >'/ The team started out, cautiously but hopefully at exactly 9:20 P.M. with their “lead-off man” Joe Nagy who with his 1st ball got 7 pins and his 2nd ball collected 2 more for his 9 pins in the first frame . . . O.K. Joe, the “Ice was broken now”. Marko next man up, a brilliant Strike, 1st time up. Freitag got 6 on the 1st, and 3 pins on the 2nd ball for a 9 in his 1st. Koloszar, a Strike “down the alley”. Phillips 7 and 2 for his 9 in the 1st frame. Marko led this game to the 9th frame, but Koloszar had a nice “Turkey” in the 9th and 10th to tie Marko. Each with a 209 game, in fact Koloszar had his first “Turkey” in the 3-4-5th frames, a mean “split” in the 7th frame spoiled his higher mark. So the boys starred with a 922 game in this order: Koloszar—Marko tied, Phillips—Freitag and Nagy, respectively. * * * The 2nd game was the “bigevent” the 1st 19 times up all men marked, nearly 4 full frames . . . Marko started with a spare, then collected 4 strikes in a row, and 5 more spares, to finish out 208, 1 below his 1st game. Koloszar stole the show, with his first 2 strikes 1 spare in the 3rd. 7 strikes followed from the 4th to the 10th; a 6 pin roll and a 4 netted his final-spare to get a beautiful 265 game ... As early as the 3rd frame and from there on spectators cheered, yelled and stood up in feverish frenzy every time Koloszar got up to bowl ... Is it any wonder? 265, a honey of a game . . . Joe Nagy also had a lovely 209 in this his best game ... So the final tally showed this result on the huge Score Board. Koloszar 265. Nagy 209. Marko 218. Phillips 183. Freitag 139, for a Total of 1014. By this time every one had their eyes on the big score board that had big letters about a foot high reading — VERHOVAY CLUB, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, (a thrilling sight indeed.) Came the 3rd game, but the boys although still netting a good game, dropped down, quite noticeably and rather costly too. The crowd yelled and cheered the boys. Egged them on, by their names, (they just couldn’t pronounce VERHOVAY. Koloszar started out “red hot” with a “Turkey” to continue his 2nd game, spare in the 4th strike in the 5th from there on he dropped a bit to finish out 204. Mai’ko ditto, started out with a “Turkey” a spare in the 4th and so on to finish out 191. Nagy, Phillips, and Freitag, in that order. So the final tab showed that Koloszar starred with 21 strikes, 9 spares; Marko with 14 strikes, 14 spares; Nagy with 9 strikes, 15 spares; Phillips 7 strikes, 18 spares; Freitag with 9 strikes, 9 spares. % :’c Result of games were this: 1st 2nd 3rd T.

(To be continued in next issue) Correction A regrettable error appears in §27, of the Minutes of the Board of Directors’ Minutes, dealing with the awarding of the Verhovay “Acknowledged” title to six branch-officers. Item 4 represents Paul Smith as a member of Branch 214, Flint, Mich., with a service record of 35 years. This item is corrected to read: “Paul Smith, manager of Branch 204, Milwaukee, Wis., for more than two decades”. The name of the following “Acknowledged’’ branch-officer has been omitted and should be inserted together with his service record to read as follows: “Louis Mazik, officer for more than 35 years of Branch 214, Flint, Mich.” We extend our apologies to the above named fellow-members.

VEGETABLE COMPOUND "REDS CONSPIRING TO WIN HUNGARY” — COMMENTS THE COLUMBUS REGISTER. In the column “Keeping Up With Events: A Department of Interpretation and Comment”, the March 21st issue of “The Columbus Register”, under the headline “Spotlight Seeks Out ‘ Reds Conspiring- to Win Hungary”, 1 carried the following comments : on the U. S. Government’s note to Russia: “The U. S. govei'nment’s note to Russia protesting over that country’s interference in the internal affairs of Hungary throws the spotlight on the miserable condition of that country’s people, 70 I per cent of whom are Catholics, j writes Dr. Tibor Kerekes in a j special ai’ticle for the NCWC News Service. After the “liberation” of Eastern Hungary by the Russian armies, but while the war was still being fought on Hungarian soil, the Soviet high command imposed on the Hungarian people a Red political leadership. Matthisa Rákosi, Vice Premier of the Hungarian cabinet; Ernest Gero and Zoltán Vas, cabinet ministers; and Joseph Révai, secretary of the restored Communist party, were sent to Moscow to take over. They organized the police force of Hungary on a Communist party line and reorganized the Hungarian army. The Communist police in disrespect of the legal rights of the citizens j interned and deported, indiscriminately, guilty and innocent without judiciary processes. In spite of this oppression, the Hungarian people at the elections of Nov. 4, 1945, overwhelmingly endorsed the Small Holders’ (Landowners’) party, which fought for the right to private ownership, to freedom of worship and of speech, and to the free exercise of political rights. The Red army, the Soviet government, and their Hungarian satellites were greatly displeased with this expression, of anti-Communist attitude and began the systematic destruction of Hungary’s financial, economic, and political structures. Rákosi and his Communist henchmen began their tireless efforts to destroy the Small Holders’ pai-ty. There is mounting evidence that the Leftist minority is attempting to seize dictatorial power in the wake of a “conspiracy” reported to involve members of the Small Holdei-s’ party. Confident of the support of the Russian army, which already has intervened directly in the crisis, the two chief Leftist parties, the Communists and the Social Democi-ats, are asserting themselves dramatically in word and action. Some 3,000 Hungarian citizens have been deprived of their freedom by the Communist Minister of the Interior László TRADITIONALLY FAMOUS DINNERS from m Gypsy&Dance Orchestras Enchanting Floor Show Tel:* LOngacre 3-0115 KEEPING FAITH The average good man has in mind and heart a plan of life, and a hope and purpose to be accomplished before life is done. This natural ambition is measured wth noble aspirations, with generous impulses and a worthy design for lij’e. Ordi|narily It contemplates marriage, a home, a family and a helpful citizenship. It is glorified with a purpose to serve and to nurture with a recognized obligation to the family and household. The opportunities of life and the promises of its rosy future beckons us on with enthusiasm and we feel that all will be well when the noonday of life beams upon us. It is the common experience that with all our hopefulness and faithful energies we reach mature, middle life with little store for the end, save what has been transmuted through the years into loving service, noble living and sharing the common cause. Life insurance suggests that her companionship through the years would have added another virtue akin to all these and more abiding. Are we really true to those noble impulses, and are we faithfully carrying on in that high purpose if we fail to crystallize them into an insurance estate awaiting their hour of need? The most of us shall never be rich, but if we have life insurance we are not poor. If we foster adequate life insurance we shall have kept faith with our early aspirations and with those who are dearer to us than life itself. — Judge McCullough. Necessity may or may not b9 the Mother of Invention, but there is no question about Hustling being the Father of Success. — Exchange. Rajk, who first “uncovered” tha plot. Seizing on the alleged conspiracy, the Leftists are also trying’ to discredit the Church. The Reds have made violent attacks on Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty, Primate of Hungary, and have arrested Father Nemeth Ladislas, secretary to Bishop Louis Shovy, as one of the “leaders” :n tho “conspiracy.” *
