J ,.-. THURSDAY, FEB. 6th, 1947 THE& CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTAMJO PAGE ELEVECN Oldtimers Play Denefit Tlo Aid Junior Finances This Saeday evening will see one of themost unusual events in hLstorY at Orono rink when Mike Osborne and his Intermediate A's -of yesterday will endeavour to demonstrate to Orono Junior C's hockey team just how the game sihould be played. Among those stalwarts who feel they'stili have life left and are wllling to pit it against the young bloode are such famous names as. the following: "Bill" Oke, 'Tor- ky" Osborne, "Scotty" Cameron, "Wink" winters, "Dutch" Osborne UÉon "Red" James, "Bert" Col- well, "Jumbo" Chartran, "Buster" Densem, "Shinny" Moise, 'Ab" Piper, "Dub"l Piper, "Peewee" Martyn, Geo. Walton, "Pigeon" Luxton, Eddie "Flash" Rundie, Frank Jamieson, Bill Bagneli and Mike Osborne himself.,- Both teams dlaim to De in the pink of conidition and confident of victory. One thing is certain- that the old-timers outweigh the youngsters by considerable poun-' dage, but we imagine that after the first ten minutes some will have considerable difficulty in carrying that extra weight. The game is slated for 8 o'- dlock with proceeds to go to the juniors many of whom are4 from Bowmanville. Tickets may bDe ob- tained from Mike Osborne for a nominal amount. lTORONTO ~ ..~rc IMAT COUP 7 IDjr' halinc fumes of UMARa"réelouithe qolck rend ief. t abo. tDdow. bnP It hdv. 14-46 sport Highlights It was a hectic week in league hockey among the several local teams. Latest reports gathered as we go to press are: Orono Jr. "C" team playing at Uxbridge, Jan. 28th, taok their nivals 6-4 in Junior OHA Hockey. In the return game at Orono, Fni- day, Orono boys repeated their win 9-5. Rundie scored 4 and West 2 to lead the attack in the latter game. Orono plays Whitby Friday night and are going great guns at the moment. Moe Breslin's Juveniles and Midgets ran into rough going at Port Hope, Jan. 29th. The Juven- iles suffered their first defeat at the hands of the Ports, 7-5. The much improved Midgets held their rival Ports 5-3 in a hard fought game. According to rink-side fans from Bowmanville the Juveniles can take the Ports on even terms for any money but in the donny- brook at Port Hope they had to battie a horde of Port Hope fans as well, who invaded the ice on three occasions and pushed the Juveniles around. It was an ex- hibition of poor sportsmanship with no police on hand to keep order. tjNýVERSAL ýRIAI ýeorge Lucille v vera Z 0 Nv BRENT BALL era ZORINA Doug. Carter Upsets Local Bowling Marks Wilth Score of 904 For three weeks straight the kegler fans have made predictions that local bowling records made in succession would stand for the season. First it was Bill West- lake's mark, then Doc Rundie de- throned him by a wide margin. Now its Doug Carter who gets the spotlight with a near perfect sn- gle to break the three-game rec- ord. But in the meantime Jack Coole had ironed out Doc's high single. .Coole shot a 349 on Wednesday. The foliowing Friday, Carter hitched up his slacks and hèld the fans gaping as he registered 374. He followedi along with 230 and 300 to take the fur-lined with a neat 904 for the triples title. There are now il bowlers who have smnashed over the 700 mark for a local record. George Elliott and Jack Coole, both with 748, Bill Westlake 737, Harry Depew 729, Jack Martyn 742, Jack Brough 718, P. Can- cilla 705, Harold Carpenter 703 and Bill Shoter 70U follow te leaders. Other high singles: M. Oke 315, J. Isle 310, Bill Westlake 298, Ken Luxton 295. Westlake still leads' ini averages with 257 for Il games, followed by J. Martyn 241 for 6, J. Isle 238 for 9. Biggest gain was Carter who jumped from 199 to 225. Richards' team widened its mar- gin with 5 points lead, over De- pew's with 26 to 21 and Doc Run- die is third with 19. There are now 38 bowlers with a 200 or bet- ter average. Bill Varcoe with 85 and Reg Heari with 113 hold the consolation scores. Wheelers Swamp County Town Teamn The undefeated Bowmanviile Wheelers Basketball team, in the current Lakeshore League defeat- ed the Cobourg team at the High School gymn, Jan. 23, by a score of 78-37. It was a runaway con- test for the locals who led 31-15 at haif time and about the same for the second spasm. Don Mason led the Wheelers with a league record of 36 points for a single game. Gil'bart, back in the lineup netted 20, with Run- die at centre getting 15. Other scores were Hooper 3, Jackman 2 and Rudell 2. Ewart for Co- bourg was high for his teamn with 14.

Enniskillen Elmer Otts' Pepsi-Cela Inter- mediate "B" team which has been bracketed in "A" class games, con- tinued their losing streak in re- cent games. Playing Whitby Leg- ionnaîres at Whitpy, Friday, they lost 7-4, but were on even terms ail the way until the final framie. Without a home rink the Inter- mediates played their home game against Whitby at Whitby, Mon- day, and were still jinxed ia close game ending 6-5 for Weihitby. A report on Jack McNulty's Ail- Star Bantams who play their fîrst game against Port Hope, Tu(.sday, will appear in next week's sports roundup.

Wheelers Defeat Whitby Score 45-32 The undefeated Bowmanville Wheelers basketball team, playing their fourth game in the Lake- Èshore League downed Whitby at Whitby, Friday night by a score of 45-32. It was the most closely contested game of the second half of the season but the Wheelers took the lead from the start and were neyer headed.

BANTAM HOCKEY LEAGUE Resuits of Monday night's games: First game, Sheppard & Gili ýblanked the Rotarians 4 to 0. Second game, Canadian States- man took a 4 to 0 lead over Ed- wards' Motor Sales, but the Mo- torists made a strong comeback towards the last part of the game to end up on the short end of a 6 to 5 score. King and Montgom- ery each got a pair for the win- ners, with C. Piper and B. Prin- gle counting the other two. The Motorists scorers were Nip Piper 2, L. Allen 2, and Ivan Woolley the odd one. Both goalies were han- dicapped by the poor iighting and turned in creditable performan- ces in spite of this handicap, Team standings: W L T Pt. Sheppard & Gil---2 0 0 4 Can.

PROVINCE REMITS SHARE 0F KING ST. REPAIR JOB The Ontario Department of Highways has taken care of its share of the cost of the recon- struction of two sections of King St. recently completed after much delay. The province will pay $12,424,15, or 39.4 percent of the cost of the job. The orginal bid for the job was $20,881,92 by the Toronto Construction Co. who did the major portion of the work. It was understood that the province would pay 50 percent of the cost and the total bill was $3 1,536, or over 50 percent more than the orginal bid. This contract appears now to be complete. Weekly Editors Tour U. S. A. On Returu Goodwill Mission INSTALLMENT NO. 4 The Penn-gylvanla, Turapike The Pennsylvania Turnpike, probably the finest long stretch of highway in the world, has its western terminus at Irwin, and early on Tuesday morning, De- cember lO-th, we started east along it. It is 160 miles long and the charge is $1.50 to go over it. There are four traffic lanes, on two well separated cement nib- bons, no traffic lights, and no interse.çtions,. or cross traffic. There is a minimum of sîgns and no biliboards. There are seven tunnels through mountains, some of them about a mile and a haîf in length. We covered the whole 160 miles including one stop in less than three hours, and we were 120 minutes making the first 123 miles. This turnpike was started on October 27th, 1938, and opened to traffic on October lst, -1940; 16,- 500 men were employed in build- ing it and the cost was $70,050,000. In two yea»s' work, there were assembled 250 primary and sub- contractors, who excavated 26,- 000,000 cubic yards of earth and stone; constructed 140 bridges and viaducts; built seven tunnels; de- vised 167 grade separations for highways and railroads, tr-ans- ported 392,000 tons of cement, 700,000 tons of sand; over a mil- lion tons of crushed stone, 35,000 tons of steel. We were told that the Pennsyl- vania Turnpike is the first sec- tion of a speedway which in time will span the United States. The eastern end of the turnpike is close to Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, where we were entertained by Wmn. N. Hardy, manager of the Pennsylvania State Press Association. On our return home, each member of the party received a copy of "My Pennsylvania" which is without a doubt the finest descriptive book yet issued by any state. After leaving Harrisburg, where we had lunch, our next pause was at Lancaster, a quaint city in the heart of the Amish country, and, as it was market day there, the streets were thronged with Amish people in their quaint costumes. The Amish people are said to 4eeVIN retain the old customs as well as costumes. Many refuse ta ride in anything as modern as an auto- mobile, end if there is an unmàr- ried daughter in the house, the fence gate is palnted blue. "Bund- ling" is said to be still one method of courting. In the Philadeiphia Area Going on to Norristown, ini the Philadeiphia area, we were guests of George Bennett at the War- rington Inn for dinner, a very popular and classy roadhouse. Here the kitchens are wide open for everyone ta visit, and we saw and afterwards ate, the largest lobsters we had ever seen. Huge oysters, shrimps and lobsters were chief items on a seafood dinner of rare delight. Mr. Bennett combines the pub- lishing of a couple of healthy newspapers including the Jenk- intown Times-Chronicle, with be- ing labor dispute referee for east- ern Pennsylvania. His dual roles make him an authority on almost anything in Pennsylvania. In the morning he took us on a personally conducted tour of Phil- adelphia, and he certainly knew his subiect, and showed us many interesting places that are seldom visited by tourists. One such place was the Sweden- borgen Cathedral -at Bryn Athen. This cathedral was started years ago by the head of the Pitcairn family. who endowed it with enough money that we were told "if they keep on building it for a thousand years they stili will not have spent ail the money." Two brothers are now the head of the clan, and one has built his home seven storeys high, each storey about 14 feet high, the object be- ing to have it higher than the ca- thedral. The other brother goes to work in his own private heui- copter, landing on the grounds of his home each night. These peo- pie shun publicity, and few know of this beauty spot on the edge of Philadelphia.. Philadeiphia is noted for its wonderful park system. There are over one hundred miles of parkways leading into Philadel- phia, which makes it one of the most easîly accessible chties in the world. This parkway system maintains its own private police force, which is said to be really 'SPORT NEW-S wick for lunch at which we were guests of Frank Hutchison, mani- ager of the New Jersey Press As- sociation. After lunch at the Roger Smith Hotel in New Brunswick, at whkch we were joined by the Mayor of New Brunswick and. the Secre- tary of the Chaniber of Com- merce, who by the way was a native of Britain and proud of it, we lef t for New York where we arrived via the Holland Tunnel about six o'clock.

At Norristown we stayèd at the Valley Forge Hotel. Valley Forge, the camping graund of Washing- ton's Army in the winter of 1777- 78, is on the edge of Norristown, and every aid house in the district clainis that "George Washington Slept Here." Nearly every place we passed through was decorated for Christ- mas but few places compared with Norristown, where traffic on the Main street passed under a com- plete canopy of electric llghts, with huge lighted stars or other designs at intervals.
