Worth trying. /.VEGETABLE COMPOUND Grace Karling Branch 342 Renortinff For On Saturday May 3rd some of our bowlers met at Anton Lachman’s at one o’clock to board a bus to South Bend, Indiana to hold a match game with Branch 132. We arrived at Verhovay Home at 5 o’clock P.M. and were served delicious sandwiches and coffee to give us the energy we needed for our bowling game that was to follow. Well, we wound up the season by having our match with Branch 132, and what a wind-up. What a game, what a score and what a beating WE took. I guess yours truly thought she was playing tiddle-winks. The So. Bend Women’s team really should have bowled our men’s team and even then bur men would have had to do some heavy bowling to beat them. Maybe our boys should try tending bar and bowling at the same time like Joe Nagy, with his nine strikes and 252 score. Nothing slow about Frank Freitag either with his 677 for three games. Our own Joe Keresturi tried too, with his 54.8. I guess Joe Saillor didn’t puff hard enoguh on his cigar. But, after all, who knows maybe when we meet next year we will come a little closer to the top. Last but not least here are the scores:— WOMEN’S BRANCH 132 Mary F. 137 131 147 Betty 217 168 166 Mitzi 141 127 156 Totals 832 758 832 WOMEN’SBRANCH 342 A. Reedy132 153 110 J. Dhondt 115 130 102 G.

We danced to the accordion music of Steve Bokor; thank you Steve. Mr. Domonkos was a very liberal bartender and sent us all home feeling gay. We were served sandwiches again and at 1; 45 in the morning we all crawled into the bus to start back to Chicago. We wish to thank you, Soujth j Bend, Branch 132, for a never to be forgotten evening.

Various problems of the relief-movement were discussed at the airport while waiting for the belated departure of the plane. Then they took off . . . Thank you, Mme. Tildy for having visited us. Thank you, for leaving us your message which will be an inspiration and a guiding light for us in our work for the people of Hungary. May you succeed in capturing the hearts of Americans and Hungarians everywhere you go and may you win many, many victories for your splendid nation. God bless you, Mme. Tildy . . . After the trying bowling game, and I do mean trying, we were asked to go upstairs and sit at a table reserved for Chicago Branch 342. We really had a surprise when we saw the magnificent table setting and the many guests. Mr. Frank Wukovits, Branch Manager welcomed all the many bowlers and in turn gave the microphone over to Mr. Marko, the toastmaster. Mr. Marko introduced Mr. Nyers, President of Branch 132, and Mr. Lachman, Branch Manager of Branch 342, and also Mr. Joe Nagy, Custodian of the South Bend Verhovay Home. We were served a very delicious roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings. At this time we wish to offer our praise to the many women who prepared and served such a feast. Mr. Marko then awarded various trophies and pins to the men and women league winners. I guess they did not have booby prizes as I didn’t hear any of our bowlers called forward. Mr. Marko introduced us in a group and Joe Keresturi was asked to rise as he was our top bowler for the evening. Don’t worry, we are not .always quite this had . The tables were cleared and pushed back and the bowlers from Branch 132 and Branch 342 beMANAGER PAUL SCHMIDT HONORED IN CUDAHY, WIS.

He requested fellow-member Peter Borsos to distribute a booklet which he brought along, in order that the assembled guests may get better acquainted with the fraternal program of the Verr hovay. Promising to support the promotional activities of the branch in every possible way he asked the members of Branch 204 to assist their able manager in f his task in order that the membership of the branch may be I doubled in th? near future.
