The total buis for the capsuled cod liver oil since the last annual meeting amounted ta $630 and the share from the School Board is expected ta be met in full in due course. It was pointed out that the distribution kof this medicine alsa included Bowmanvulle schools but only the 1rural sehool board had sa far ag- reed ta share part of the cost. Low Finances The financial report presented Lby Treasurer Ray Dillmng showed a balance a year ago of $1223 which, plus donations secured in the annual drive for funds, made it passible ta .continue activities during 1947. The main expendi- tures included $854 for the mat- ernity ward, $568 for support of autpast hospital services, $65 for equipment for the nursing class- es, $73 for the Red Cross sponsor- ed swimming classes and miscel- laneous items of supply. After ail bills are paid, the balance of $180 on hand has reached a very low point. Charles Carter reported on the annual campaign for funds and declared that if the local branch wag ta survive it would be neces- sary ta organize a much mare ef- fective campaign for the coming year. Swlmming Classes Dr. Rudell told of the success of the swimming and safety cam- paign sponsored by the Red Cross with the splendid cooperation of the Community Council and the Boys' Training School . Several hundred young people had quali- fied in swimming and had re- ceived certificates. Advantage was taken of the offer of the Ontario executive for leaders ta train in Toronto and Bill Bagnell and Russ Haîlman now held cer- tificates as swimming instructors. lt was felt that the Community1 Council wvas now in a good posi-1 tion ta continue the program. A motion carried ta purchase swim suit insignia far the new swim- ming instructors and 3 or 4 Red Cross first aid kits for cammunity sponsored sparts levents. General Work Mrs. Henry oulined the great amount o! wark done by the lad- ies work cammittee in supplying1 knitted goods, hospital supplies, t and sa forth, during the year. ButF she said that the work feli ta only a few who had become s0 :ired and discouraged that it was 2 doubtful this program could be il continued unless more active sup- ti port was received from members q and the general public.a This really tauched off the dis- e cussion as to, whether the local i( unit should suspend operations. fi A. letter from the Ontario presi- li dent advised strongly against it E and suggested in any levent the re- tl ention of the local charter. Dr. 0: Rudel1 suggested that if th2 branch continued ta operate it si night win mare public support r by sponsoring a much needed h. dental survey among district choal children. The meeting wasB in general agreement that with- G drawing from active participation B from the great wark carried on by the local Red Cross, the public F vould suffer accardingly and it ci would be a bad advertisement for hi Bowmanville. Important Meetings In conclusion President O'Neill ýalled attention ta three impor- tat meetings of the Red Cross in te near future. They are as fol- t low: ci Feb. 9, the annual meeting o! the Oshawa Redi Cross at 199 Centre St. ta which Bowmanviiie members have been invited. Feb. 20, at the Town Hall, Bow- manville, the adjourned annual meeting o! the Bowmanville Red Cross ta which ail members and the general public are invited and urged ta attend. March 19. at the Royal York, Toronto, the annual meeting o! the Ontario Red Cross Society, under chairmanship o! Bruce Hill, President, Canadian Cham- ber o! Commerce. Federation Lends Support to Control Warble Fly Pest Durham County Federation o! Agriculture directors met at the home o! Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rey- nolds on February 5. There were o ver thirty present, which makes the iargest graup for same time. A request from Yelverton Farm Forum asking that the County Federation lend its support toaa campaign ta contrai the warbie !ly was read. Federation gave instructions that the m a t t le r should be thoroughly studied and the secretary was instructed ta write each Township Council ask- ing for support. Acting on the request of the Toronto office the County Cream Producers' Organization was set up as folîows: Russell White, chairman; with Norman Wilson, Elton A. Werry and A. Wood as members. A suggestion that the County of Ontario join with the County of Durham ta act together in a broadcasting program was laid over ta a later date. Joseph J. Meloer and Walter Reynolds were appointed Trus- tees o! the Camp Site and the committee in charge were in- structed ta proceed wîth the ar- rangements with the Ganaraska Authority ta set up some perman- ent organization. The president and secretary were asked ta, nom- mnate a County Committee with one !rom each Township ta act aacontrolling committee for the C amp. aA Ilengthy discussion took place re the Children's Fund and the plan was left in the hands of the following committee: Chas. Os- ' borne, Walter Rundie, M. H. Sta- pIes, A. Hendry and J. J. Mellor. We were very fortunate in re- ceiving invitations for future meetings. The next meeting will be at M. H. Staples' an March 4. s t d s tg E ci ta Educational Movies Every now and then we are shawn movies at B.H.S. With Mr. Witherspoan running the projec- tor, variety is added ta the regu- lar way of learning things by means o! movies on variaus tapies such as music, the teeth, alcohol and rubber manufacture. In the lighter vein we are shown cartoons and at the Chris- tmas party were*treated ta a full length feature. Our thanks go ta the Board o! Education who make these movies passible. President Belîman has been keeping busy with his prepara- tions for the "At Home." Invi- tations are ta, be sent out shortly. The big event booms as the clim- ax o! a cold, but otherwise en-' joyable winter term, which bas- ketball has predominated. Friday's Games It will be too bad for the op- posing team the day that aillaur Junior Girl forwards are "on." Should this occur, the score would probably run up in the eighties. As it was, the Juniors didn't do fao badly with Port Perry, win- ning 43-6 at the B.H.S. gym. Most o! the scoring laurels went ta Rhona Evans and Audrey North- cutt. However, with only six points against them, a lot of cre- dit gaes ta the guards for their effective chccking. The Senior Girls' also won their game, building up an eariy lead and coasting the rest o! the way. B.H.S. Lineups Juniors-Evans (22), Northcutt (12), Fisher (3), Sudds, Bates, P. Dippell (4), guards: Bowles, os- ýborne, Campbell, Dale, Mutton, Chartran. Seniors-Heyland (1.7), Marjer- rison (9), D. Buttery (3), Snow- dcn, Paterson, B. Grant, M. Dip- pelI, J. Grant, Griffith, Bonk, Breslin, Hopkins. Boys' Games It certainly makes a difference, playing in the home gym. At1 least so it secms, judging from the play o! aur Senior Boys. Port1 Pcrry had defeated B.H.S. in the 4 eague opener, but on Friday, B.i H-.S. evcned the score with a 35- 20 victory. Jim Paterson's seem-I ngly intrinsie ,salient efforts net- J ted him nine points in the first quarter with almost ubiquitous abandon. (See foot note).* Spark-i ed by this prolifie start, the Sen-i iors held on ta the lead till the miai whistlc. Scoring was even- c ly divided betwcen the forwards, 1 Rundle, Paterson and Buckspan, i the latter finally showing some c of his latent scoring punch. i The Junior Boys made a dleanf sweep of the double-header, win- ning 29-15, Jack Munday wast high man with nine points. Senior lineup - Rundle (9), Buckspan (9), Paterson (9), De- Geer (3), Phillips (1), Cattran, Belîman, Tamblyn (4).

It may have occurrcd ta some 1at Feminine Fashions have ,hanged a bit lately. In fact, iere at Bowmanville High, as in nost schools, the girls' clothes in ix months have gone back twen- y years. No longer are we ta view the )are legs all men marvelled at, ýpecially in subzero weather. No nore are we ta see the short lresses and subsequent dimpled inees. Gone are the tight skirts hat caused many a manly stare, )t afforded only ail araund dis- omfort to, the girls. In their stead we have the jet- dack, turtie - necked, bodiced iantom gowns, designed ta show Stuft and a bust, but nothing uch else o! interest. The black tockings that go with thcm are [ppased ta slim the legs, but ail .ey do is bide what is le!t o! hem. We have too, the muddy- ,rwn ankle high suits, remini- cnt o! the horse and buggy age. LIl we need now are hoop skirts. Thanks ta the Gibson Girl, we ave the bell shaped baîlerina irts, dcsigaed ta show nathing tail. Egged on by the new hit inas, black attired widows and Quakers. The oniy ones who manage ta retain a gayer atmosphere and a glimmer o! more colorful days gone by are the men. Pleated and draped trousers and neckties are about ail that have changed in aur domain o! fashion. In fact, here in Bawmanville, we are even a benefit ta the com- munity with one o! the new styles we have adapted. The recent en- ormous influx o! red coats bas greatly decreased the robbery rate in aur faxvn. They say that a lot o! would-be burglars go ta other places for their business. They swear that there is a Moun- tie standing on cvery street cor- ner in Bowmanville. But even if the girls do look a bit queer, what would we do without thcm. I'm sure we shahl aIl climatize ourselves ta the New Look soaner than cxpected.
