Despite the fact that the weather threatened the Branch 18 Second An­nual Family Outing and Children’s Day to Bob-Lo Island, the rain held off until late in the evening. On Saturday, July 14th, happy and anticipating, the William Penn mem­bership and guests met at the Wood­ard Avenue and Wyandotte docks for the long and delightful cruise to Bob-Lo Island. Both the 10 and 11 a. m. boats were jammed. On the island the Committee Chair­men and members were busy build­ing fires, cooking sausage and hot dogs, setting up the bar for the Canadian brew, etc., and filling plates with delicious Hungarian home-baked pastries. National President Julius Macker and his wife and family, along with Field Manager Elmer Charles and his wife, arrived from Pittsburgh. Mr. Macker’s picture was taken with the Captain of the Bob-Lo steamer. The Bob-Lo Steamer Captain and William Penn “Captain” (President) Julius Macker. Other William Penn national of­ficers, accompanied by their wives, were Auditing Committee Chairman Gaspar Papp, Director Stephen Dan­ko, and Director Frank M. Magyary of Akron, Ohio, Mrs. Papp, Mrs. Danko and Mrs. Magyary enjoyed the activities. Still other well-known guests were Alvin M. Bentley, former Congress­man and a Branch 18 member, Fa­ther Gaspar Marton from Windsor, Canada, while Branch 500 was ably represented by its president, Joseph Boldizsár, whose wife and family came with him. Hungarian press re­presentatives were Mrs. Julius Fodor, publisher of the Detroit Hungarian News and also the WILLIAM - PENN, and Eva Szekely and Mrs. Bela Kolos from the editorial staff of the Detroit Hungarian News. Our fine officers were specially greeted and received by the owner's and the captain of the Bob-Lo steam­er, who led our leaders on a tour of the boat showing them its intricate machinery and gracious furnishings. After everyone had eaten of the - good Hungarian foods and had drunk Canada’s excellent beverages, a pro­gram was held in honor of Joseph Marczis, veteran member and officer for 47 years, who was presented with a check from the branch. John Vesz­prémi, president of Branch 18, was toastmaster and introduced out-of­town guests. The Children’s Day program was greater than ever and was under the supervision of Regional and Branch Manager Stephen Úsztok, Vice-President Martin Marton and Treasurer Geza Madarasz. Prizes for the children were silver dollars, don­ated by Mr. Úsztok, plus tickets from Branch 18 for the rides at the huge amusement park. There were games and tug-of-war games for the men and women also, with the women (naturally!) winning the tug from the men (could it be that the men were gentlemanly by letting the women win?) Congratulations and many thanks go to the Bob-Lo Committee chair­men and members who worked hard and long in the tedious preparation of the many details involved: District Manager of Branch 56 Andrew Vince and Controller Jolán Lucas, as Co- Chairmen of the affair: Women’s Auxiliary President Mrs. John Vesz­prémi, who chairmanned the Kitchen Committee, Treasurer Geza and Helen Madarasz, Secretary Elvira László, Auditor Katalin Demeter, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kiss (auditor); Auditor Alexander Koroknay, Auditor Ste­phen Lorenz, Joseph Demeter, Aud­itor George Marton, Louis Csordás, Joseph Gross, Mrs. Fabian, Mrs. Farkas, Cecelia Veszprémi, Mrs. Irene Vince, Mrs. Stephen Úsztok. The above committee represented the branch, Sports Club, Junior Club and the Women’s Auxiliary. It takes all groups to have a successful social affair! Members of the Women’s Auxiliary outdid themselves in their donations of delicious Hungarian pastries and there was more than enough cake for everyone — to eat on the island and to take home. Many thanks must go to the members of this Bob-Lo Committee for their loyalty and hard work which they performed on this unusual cruise-picnic-Children’s Day. A date is already being set for 1963 for the Third Annual William Penn Branch 18 Family Outing. Jf anyone’s name is forgotten, please let us know and corrections will be made in the next issue. * * * JUNIOR CLUB: Elsewhere in this issue will be a complete report from the Fraternal Affairs Department about the coming Western Division Junior Bowling Tournament to be held under the sponsorship of Branch 18.

SPORTS CLUB: The Branch 18 Sports Club is finally going to have a William Penn Mixed League! At this time plans are being formul­ated for a 16 team league at Skore Lanes on Saturday nights at 9:30 p.m. Just as I am writing this a call has come in that South Lanes is also interested in a William Penn Mixed League on alternate Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. The Sports Club will have a meeting on August 11th to decide which offer it will accept. Chairman of the Mixed League pro­gram is Louis Deregi, assisted by his wife Betty, Martin and Bette Rigo (Bette works at the District Office), and my own Louis Lucas (who has recuperated sufficiently to help with this long-planned dream). Call De­regi at AVenue 4-8319, Rigo at the District Office WArwick 8-0887, or at home at DUnkirk 2-2441, or Lucas at the number below, for further in­­formation. Majority will decide whether the Mixed League will bowl a late 9:30 p.m. squad for a full sea­son, or whether an earlier 7:30 p.m. squad will bowl an 18-20 week sea­son. At Skore Lanes the proprietor has promised free instructions in five lessons, during the day-time, for beginner bowlers, or pre-season prac­tice to get ready for the regular bowling season which begins right after Labor Day. Films will be shown on proper approach to the pins, correct posture, how to make those spares, etc. Skore Lanes ma­nagement has promised free trophies for the end of the season winners, secretarial work, prizes for the Thanksgiving Day and Christmas roll-offs, and the free instructions. Each present William Penn branch or sports club couple should bring their own couple to form a team. Presently interested are the follow­ing: the Martin Rigo’s and the Frank Marus’; the Louis Deregi’s; the Steve Kekes’; the Geza Madarasz’; the John Toczky’s; the Joseph Gross’; the Robert Barnes’; the Steve Lo­renz’; the Lucas couple; the Jack Left to right are: Leslie Baum­gartner, first prize winner of the Men’s Doubles; John Pécsi, Vice Pres­ident; Victor Benzur, also Men’s Doubles first prize winner; Regional Manager Frank J.

Holts’; Elvira László; perhaps Mary Plesivec; the Alex Koroknays; Bette Rigo has three additional couples through district office contacts; the Stephen Dankos are interested; and many other couples just starting out. Contact the above committee mem­bers for all details. There will be plenty of local publicity in the next few weeks in all Detroit and sub­urban papers, but you should decide early enough to join the league, as non-William Penn members will be given the opportunity to bowl also in the WILLIAM PENN MIXED LEAGUE. LADIES’ AUXILIARY:— Sorry, no room again for the Fashion Show report — but will try to get some­thing in next issue. The Ladies’ Auxiliary is planning a late summer or early Fall all-day outing. A cruise on the luxury ocean liner, the AQUARAMA, to Cleveland, has been suggested — a charter bus trip to some scenic or historic site, pos­sibly a “night on the town” . . . Also hoped is the sponsorship of a WIL­LIAM PENN LADIES’ AUXILI­ARY team formed of present mem­bers. — How about a Christmas Party? — or a Masquerade Ball for Halloween? The Cook-Book is still available. (See ad elsewhere in this issue). Mrs. Veszprémi and branch presi­dent John Veszprémi are leaving for a trip to Hungary from August 15th to September 15th, but arrangements have been made to take care of your cook-book orders. Note to Evelyn Boucher: — We were sorry to hear about the opera­tion of your daughter Gwyn and your inability to attend our Bob-Lo Outing. Our two patients should be well-recovered to have a really big time in 1963. Thanks to all the William Penn members from Branch 18, the Sports Club, the Ladies’ Auxiliary, my fellow reporter, L. Louis Horvath of Philadelphia, and our good friend, President Macker, for all the en­couraging get-well cards received by Louis while in hospital and at home. Luke tells me he didn’t know that “anyone cared.” That’s real frater­­nalism! Your old FERRET 12996 Rosedale Avenue Southgate, Michigan AVenue 3-0731 REWARD FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT
