VOL. XXXIII. MAY 17, 1950 51 NO. 5 WELCOME TO YOUNGSTOWN — 85 Teams To Compete For Verhovay Championship At 7th Annual Ten-Pin Tournament On May 26-28. — To every member of the 85 teams participating in the 7th Annual Verhovay National Bcvvling Tournament and to all spectators, visitors and bowling fans witnessing this great event, the Board of Directors and National Officers of the Verhovay, and the National Executive Tournament Committee, together with the Bowlers’ 1950 Tournament Committee, the officers and members of the Youngstown branches, extend a cordial welcome to the Tournament City. The exceptionally beautiful championship trophies, especially the FRANK BROGLEY MEMORIAL TROPHY, to be awarded to the team with the highest actual score in the Men’s Division, and the ALBERT B. ARI MEMORIAL TROPHY, to be awarded similarly to the team with the highest actual score in the Women’s Division, the numerous cash prizes to be distributed on a handicap basis, the splendid entertainment provided for Saturday and Sunday eight, the grand event of the Tournament Financing Campaign on Sunday night, May 28th, are important attractions of this year’s great Verhovay spors event. Just as important, however, is the fact that on the three days of the 7th tournament more than a thousand Verhovayans from all parts of the country will celebrate a grand fraternal reunion. In making arrangements for such a huge event, the committees in charge of the various details have to cope with innumerable problems and difficulties. It stands to reason that the wishes of every single participant cannot possibly be met. To assure the full success of this affair, some will be called upon to make slight sacrifices, while others will have to yield their preferences. Cooperation will be required of all. As part of a large assemblage each individual] must show due consideration to the whole and adapt himself to the methods and rules by which the entire program is governed. This, however, should not! be difficult for sportsmen and fraternalists. And so we trust that with the spirit of sportsmanship prevailing throughout the tournament, this will be a most pleasant, happy and successful event. Welcome to Youngstown, bowlers and visitors, participants of the 7th Annual Verhovay National Ten Pin Tournament. Welcome and the best of luck and success to you all. May every one of you gather in many happy memories and return to your homes with a renewed appreciation of Verhovay fraternalism.

AND MRS. ALEXANDER S. NYIRATI Visitors at the Home Office were, on April 12th. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Stephen Nyirati, the newlyweds whose war time romance made the headlines all over the country. After seven years of service Al, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Nyirati of 524 Arden Ave., Steubenville, 0., concluded World War II., with capturing a prize he intends to “love, honor and cherish” to the end of his life. Here is the story as told by the Steubenville Herald-Star: “Many stories of exciting war-time dangers and heroisms are deep in the memory of Alexander Stephen Nyirati who served as a radio operator aboard a C-47 for seven years. To him, however their importance is minimized in relation to this one that comes to us from his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Nyirati, who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their son and his bride from Germany. Mr. Nyirati is a graduate of Catholic Central High School and attended Steubenville Business College before joining the army air corps Near the end of his seven years service as a radio operator, while he was flying over occupied Germany in March of 1948, be and other crew members were forced to bail out of their plane. He landed in the Russian zone and was injured. When he was taken to the 317th American Hospital in Berlin he met Miss Margaret Johanna G. Simmering. She was a native of Berlin and served as a nurse in that hospital for four years.” Mr. Nyirati. however, was not awaro of the most important event of his life. As the Associated Press reported, he had suffered critical injuries and was unconscious for 12 days. It was Miss Simmering who nursed him back to life. The “Stars and Stripes” quotes Al as saying: “The hospital people told me they had to force her to go home and rest. She didn’t want to leave me. My subconscious mind felt her presence there. It’s something I can’t explain, but her will made me live. Her face was the first thing I saw when I regained consciousness.” After 12 days of unconsciousness she spent rine more days at his s;de. Then he was moved from Berlin to Frankfurt on the second leg of a 10-month tour through nine Army hospitals. He received a medical discharge in February, 1949. Nyirati could not forget his first nurse. He began writing and a romance blossomed by mail. They learned it would take two years for the German girl to enter the United States under immigration quotas. So Nyirati returned to Germany to take her back as his bride. They were married December 29, in McNair Barracks Chapel in Berlin. Their marriage was performed by Chaplain John F. Orzel. They made their home with Mr. and Mrs. Nyirati, Sr., who received the bride with open arms, grateful for her unselfish devotion that had saved their beloved son’s life. In this they are joined by all Verhovayans who bid a cordial welcome to the new Mrs. Nyirati and extend their congratulations and best wishes for a lifetime of happiness to the newlyweds. The Nyirati’s are well known as pillars of the Verhovay in the Steubenville area. Mr. Alex Nyirati, father of the veteran, is the senior member of •the -Auditing Committee of the Association.
