NELSON POGSON Cupid once again struck his point when on the 24th day of September, at 1:30 p.m., a marriage ceremony took place at the Visitation B. V. M. Catnoiic Church, located at “B” Street and Lehigh Avenue. The ten minute double ring ritual was conducted by the Rev. James Hines, and 2 altar boys solemnized the proceedings to an even greater extent. The bride was given away by her father, and at the end of the ceremony she presented a bouquet of white carnations to the Blessed Mother Statue at the side of the huge altar. Dedicated to the Blessed Mother, the bride wore ice blue satin and Chantilly lace, her only piece of jewelry being a tiny medal of the Virgin Mary worn around her neck, surrounded by tiny pale blue rhinestones. Her attendants, Elizabeth Neumayer, Norma Mangoni, and the bride’s cousin, Judith Wilson, wore sky blue nylon full-length gowns. Each wore a blue rhinestone earrings and necklace set. Their caps resembled helmets, and they were also of a pale blue, along with their shoes. The bride carried a white orchid and prayer book with streamers of blue ribbon falling gently from the interior of the book, and the atten- _ dants carried white carnations encased in blue netting. The effect of the blue and white color scheme was even carried out to the cars which sped the bride and groom and their attendants to and from the church, to the suits worn by the groom and his attendants, which were midnight blue, to the three-tier wedding cake, iced in blue and white, the second and third tiers being separated by white plastic statues swathed in drapery, their arms held high above their heads, holding the third tier in their hands, to the blue and white decorations on the cars, in the homes of the bride and groom, at the reception hall, and even to the showers given the bride by her bridesmaids and the groom's mother, preceding the wedding. It was a continuous surprise to the bride that on a good many of the gifts she received the wrapping paper and ribbon were blue and white. She had said her wedding was to be dedicated to the Blessed Mother, and all her friends took it from there. Among the prominent men attending the reception, which was held at the Knights of St. John Hall, at 2319 No. Front Street, from seven o’clock p.m. until 12:00 midnight, were Steven Szemes, branch manager of this locale, and his lovely wife and two sons; Anthony Noel, president of this branch, and his equally lovely wife; Clerk-of Courts Joseph Scanlon and his son, Joseph, Jr.; friends of the bride’s father; Congressman and Mrs. William J. Green, who attended the wedding ceremony at the church. This reporter was told the reception was a grand success with plenty to eat and drink, the traditional grand march of the bridal party in all their array, the throwing of the bridal bouquet, accompanied by a rumble of the music from the orchestra, the throwing of the blue garter to the men in the audience, and the cutting of the wedding cake. There were approximately three hundred present, despite the downpour of rain that plagued the city throughout the day and lasted into the early part of the evening. The bride and groom left at eleven o’clock p.m. for their honeymoon, which was spent in the home they had bought in Andalusia* Pa. and slighty furnished before their weddig. The details of the wedding have been told as best they could, considering the excitement that goes along with a wedding, causing a great many of the smaller details to be forgotten. So, once again Cupid has won victory. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Pogson had a fairy-tale wedding and everything they could ask for in material possessions, considering the length of time they have been married. They are living happily ever after, as all fairy tales end. Mrs. Pogson is the former Miss Jo Ann McLaughlin, whom I hope you all remember as the writer of this column for so many months. Yes, after a short leave of aosence from the “Journal”, I am back to write the “Quaker City News” under my new name and will continue to do so if you people out there will help me out. Send some suggestions to: Mrs. JOANN POGSON 1188 Dana Road Andalusia, Pa. I’ll be looking from day to day for them. Speaking about weddings, it seems that Mr. and Mrs. Alex Wagner of 1217 Shelmire Avenue have been married for fifty years. Congratulations are in order for the happy couple. Is it true, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, that the first fifty years are the toughest? There was another 50th anniversary in the news, the anniversary of Branch 13 in Trenton, New Jersey. This occasion was celebrated October 30, 1955 at the Trenton Magyar Home. The banquet and the dance were very successful. CONGRATULATIONS! BRANCH 13. Well, that’s “thirty” for this month. I will be back again next month with some more “Quaker City News.” I 1 News XXXXXXXXXXXX X XX »X X X X X XX X X X; X X! X' XiiXHXlWXfBJSlIXlSI X» From Northwestern Ohio 1 J BRANCH 27 TOLEDO, OHIO 1 S’ By Stephen J. Ivancso | Isn’t Autumn beautiful, with its red and gold coloring beautifying the countryside? One has to take a short ride on the new Ohio turnpike to see the unbelievable beauty of the scenery all around the white stretch of the turnpike. Yes, “Beautiful Ohio” was properly named. Stork news from Branch 27: Mr. and Mrs. William Verbosky of Rossford are the proud parents of their first child, a boy; Mr. and Mrs. William Szabo’s first child, a girl; Mr and Mrs. John Freyer, formerly of Vandergrift, Pa., had another boy; Mr. and Mrs. William Paszter also had a boy; and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Szabó of Swanton are also the proud parents of a boy. Congratulations and the best of health to each one of you! Albert Szabó, a member of Branch 27, and iiving in Perrysburg, Ohio, invites Verhovay members, their families and friends to stop in at his restaurant. Located on Louisiana Avenue and operating under the name of “Sanitary Restaurant,” it serves delicious Hungarian foods. When one mentions bow and arrow, we almost always think of earlier times. This does not apply to the Nagy boys, Frank and John, who go pp to Northern Michigan and Canada to do hig game hunting — with bow and arrow! They rarely come home empty-handed, thus proving their success at this form of hunting. Good ice fishing to both of you this coming winter Mr. and Mrs. Louis Szabó, Sr. returned from an extended trip that included a visit to a shrine in Cleveland, Ohio. It was nice to see Verdis Stephens and Hazel Viseher advance to the finals in bowling to determine the city champ. The champion, determined by the Peterson point system, represents Toledo in the Women’s Finals to be held in Chicago. Our Bob Nickel is seeded to the finals in the men’s division. The best of bowling to each one of you. Have you ever heard that sometimes the teacher is over shadowed by the pupil — even in bowling? One evening, Charles Szabó invited his wife, Veronica, out to an evening of bowling, evidently to show her the finer points of bowling. Veronica, who never had a bowling ball in her hand before, proceeded to take over. About the eighth frame, Charles knew that he was in trouble, and here’s the final score — Veronica (the pupil) — 116 — and Charles (the teacher) — 114! With this good start, both of you should be in good condition by the time our National Tournament comes. ‘ John Rihacek’s Lido Lanes is open for “open bowling” on Saturday and Sunday. Location: South Street, just three blocks off Broadway. If you want to see how automatic pin-setf ters work, then this is a must for you to see. As I was wi-iting this column, I heard a knock oft my door. When I answered the knock, I saw a little old lady on my door step. Tonight being trick or treat night, I thought that it was a youngster from one of the homes nearby masquerading as an old lady. After trying to figure out who it was, I cautiously lifted up her lifelike mask and was amazed to find that it was none other than Mrs. Louis Szabó, whom I mentioned in my column just a short while ago. Mary as we all know her, really “tricked or treated” us! With the Thanksgiving season upon us, may I wish you all the best of health, and have a nice, fat turkey, or whatever you have on that day. However, don't overeat Reading over this column, it seems as though it is filled with Szabo’s. I add that the only ones that are related to each other are_ Frank and Charles Szabó. Mrs. Paul Jacso and Mrs. Michael Antal are convalescing at home. Both of them were operated on recently and we wish them speedy recovery. Until next month — Happy Thanksgiving!
