Steve Bulkley of Columbus, Ohio, snapped the above picture. “Pop” Diliinger, Tournament Secretary, is shown in the center of the picture giving last-minute instructions to Tom Dickinson, Stanley Skreski and “Pop” Diliinger, Jr., while the rest of his bowling technicians around the front table, Harry Bijelby, Walter Gabriel, Phillip Masley and John Brannan, fill in the names of the bowlers on th^e scoresheets.

POWER CITY NEWS SPRINGDALE, PA. AND VICINITY by Edward A. Mattie Branch 296 With the tournament over, the Columbus Tournament Committee can sit back and be proud of their accomplishments. Indications were that most everyone had an enjoyable time. The Friday and Saturday night dances were perhaps the most successful yet. The program for Saturday night was interesting and entertaining. The entirelv too many introductions, however, caused the program to drag and make the affair too drawn-out. It was a distinct pleasure to see and to listen to Governor Frank J. Lausche. His remarks were indeed timely and interesting. It can easily be understood as , to why the Governor is so popular in the state of Ohio. The “Friendly City” of Columbus really lived up to its reputation. Our visit to the Verhovay Home of Br. 129 was most enjoyable and pleasant. We are indebted to Frank DeFranco and his charming wjrfe for extending to us that fine Columbus hospitality. Thanks also to George Tokár, the club manager, for his services at the Home and to Pete Coachman for entertaining us at the keyboard. Our team didn’t mak’e out any too well as far as the prizes were concerned. But then, there is always the next tournament to look forward to. We di<£ manage to sneak one or two of the smali prizgs in the individual event, but that’s all. Bowlers representing Br. 296 were James Borrasso, James Balku, Nick Koricich, Louis Antal, Jr., Jesse Barta and Ed Mattie. Also, attending the tournament were Field Supervisor Elmer Charles, George Charles, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Nagy and Miss Alvira Balku. MOTHER’S DAY PROGRAM Following the regular monthly meeting on Sunday, May 11th, a brief but impressive program was held in honor of all the mothers. Shoulder corsages of spring flowers were given to each mother, followed by a luncheon prepared by the Ladies’ Auxiliary. The Rev. Francis Vitéz, pastor of the Springdale Hungarian Reformed Church, spoke on the occasion. A prize was given to the oldest and to the youngest mothers present. Mrs. George Bauman, Sr. received the prize for the oldest mother and Mrs. Mildred Bodnar received the one for the youngest mother. All in all an enjoyable time was had by those present.
