4. - fl4bi~1L.-- '"Duirhamn County's Great Family Journal" __________________PAGES__ BOWMAN VILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, JUNE 5th, 1947 6c PER COPY NME 3 tury Junior Bal Champs Ev-n iloldi aid Crests Daaqueted by Local Club Bowtnanville Rotary Club can- fled its usual noon luncheon rlidey, May 30 ini favour of a banquet In-the evening in honor c>f t#e Rotary sponsored Junior Paatball Team, which during its 3-Year career won the champion- ahip ,of the Lakeshore League on Its frt try and has been runner- up~ in Ontario finals O.M.B.A. and 3ost the provincial title last year only, by a narrow margin. Held in, the, Balmoral Hotel, the ban- quet attracted a capacity attend- ance. during which officials of the .t4am made short addresses and thec windup following present- atiohs to the players was an in-~ tresting, action motion picture. Nice Gift. i n welcoming the team and guests, President Forbes Hey- land disclosed that the delay in holding the banquet to bonor. the team. was due in some measure to the ditficulty in securing suit- âble gifts in the present period ,of. shortages. The final selections were elaborate fine graîned lea- ther billfolds by Hickok together wlth uniforin crests. Each player and the tearn officials were in- troduced as the gifts were$dis- trlbuted by Ross Strike, and in behaif of the team coach Andy Thonipson expressed universal tbanks. F Sports Sponsored Walt DeGeer led off with a gen- eral review of thc Rotary spon- sored athletic activities cf the ~ast year which includcd the Jun- ior Basebaîl Tcam, the 4-team, toWii league and dluring the past winter the Bantam and Pewee liockey Teams coached by Jack ldcNilty and the Alîstar Bantams who played in the Ontario semi- iinalg. But he said, the Junior Epsiebail Team, managed by Dec iRundle, and coached by Andy Tholnpson was the sparkplug in the comeéback in summer sports just. as the Rcd Raiders were in hockey and a few of the boys played on both champion teams. Team Coach oach Andy Thompson, with .ereditfor' the success cf the team tote players, who starting wlth almost ne' experience, put a zest and zip into competitive play that brought them, te top. He de- clared t tati t had. an extra cleanup bitter and possibly a bet- ter coach they would have corne1 home with the Ontario champ- ionship. He said they were fair winners and good losers and gen- tlemen aîl the way at home and away. Wefl on the way te get- ting a baîl team of bis own at home he said he woùld continue !q do ail he could te help the Jun- iors to, still another leading posi- tion in the league. Manager Doc Rkundle supported Andy in all bis deserved compliments to the players but disagreed with him on the question of the coach for bis share in winning through was not to be discounted, an opin- ion endorsed in the applause of the youtbful guests and the Ro- tarians as weil. He recalled the tbrill in the 12 inning semi-final game at Bowmanville and the fol- lowing win away from home on unfamiliar grounds. He introd- uced the players present and re- gretted that several could not be present due to the fact that they were engaged in summer work out of town. Players Taking a bow were Arty Clein- ence, Tiny Cox, Arnold Sleep, Frank Hooper, Jake Brown, Don Gilbooley, Dec Ferguson, Bill Dadson, Eric McIlveen, Cons Cornish, Bob WiWuiams. Those absent included Baldy Hoar, Alan Strike, G. Sturrock, R. Rundle and tramner Slip Rowe. The pres- ents for the latter will be sent on or given them when they return. Action Film AnQther interested guest at the evening meeting, recreational di- rector Bart Smitbsorn4 combilied with John James te present the film wbich was generously lean- ed by the Public Relations De- partment, General Motors, Osh- awa. It was a fast action series cf shots of the annual Soap Box Der- by held in Akron, Ohio. It was a great show ta sce kids whizzing down the stretch in miniature gas buggies. And it was a fine pre- lude te the Bewmanville Soap Box Derby te be put on by Roy NichaIs, Courtice, at the Bowman- ville Legion Carnival this year. TPhere was little business trans- acted at the 'meeting and neot>irth- days. Charles Carter Sr. report- ed receipts at the Rotary boeth, May 24, were $165 and he thank- ed the helpers who velunteered their services for the day.

Friend Give Demonstration Instrumental Dancing An interesting demenstration cf dancing took place at tbe home cf Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Sehon, Beech Ave., Wednesd'ay and Thursday evenings, May 28 and 29, te the deligbt of about 60 guests. Mrs. O. Friend, instructor of the class, opened the program with a few welcoming remarks after wbich the 16 girls, gowned in fresh white dresses puesented the display. This type of dancing, whicb is becemidng very popular on the modern stage, is called in- strumental dancing and the danc- ens use tbeir bodies as an instru- ment te express music. Gregory Friend accompanied the exercises and dances at the piano and Mr. Schon assisted on the flute. The opening exercises were for the purpose of relaxing the body. The flowing movements balanced the body as the girls lnterpreted growing light and the scale, stac- cato and legato. A difficult feat for anyone was the frog's jump which was done with apparent easç. Witb the rhythm taken by the feet wbile the arms and body des- cribed the melody and pitcb waltzes, minuets and polkas by Bach, Handel, Schubert /anmd oth- ers were interpreted by the girls in graceful, swinging style. Mo- tives in the music were captured by each girl or group cf girls. Several numbers were repeated at the request ef the guests. It is with sincere appreciation we recegnize the introduction cf a new form of culture in Bowmam- ville and we hope it continues with increasing support on the part cf the citizens. Girls taking part in the demon- stration were: Jean Living, June Alîchin, Joan Rice, Marion Dip- pell, Janet Dale, Veronica Fniend, Nancy Varcoe, Mary Southey, Mary Paterson, Patsy Smith, Mar- ilyn Miller, Wilma Richards, Marie Scarnow, Mari crie Mutton, Maria Clarke, and Betty Grant.

Vet Houses Almost Comlt But- Final -Costs Unknown Four Remain to be Bought The June ssin of Town Coun- cil was held Monay evening.

James believcd the story should be heard in open session for public information.j Building Inspector Pattinsoa then presented a generalized statement which disclosed that 13 of the 18 units were sold, another was spok- en for but sale of the remaining four had no buyers until Lkouses are completed. He was unable to furnish figures as te ultimate cost of the whole proj ect but agreed to get a close appraisal for an early special meeting of council. Near Completion He stated that the entire project was almost complete. Backfilling and levelling had to be done in the remaining four units with some1 interior work yet to be done.
