Sprightly Pullet Lays Twice a Day Riploy ai "Believe It or Not" fame, would bave quite a time in Durham County if ho came ta con- firm baîf the astonisbing records reparted from time ta time in The Statesman ai big yieids in, the rcalm of farm and gardon pr-- ducts. That tbcy are ail true is generally supparted by visual cvi- dence placed on the editor's desk. But quite the mast startling in many a day was the case ai a sprightly New Hampshiro Red pullet in the flack owçod by Frank Cryderman, Bowmanvillo's vet- cran blacksmitb. His pen ai 10 birds provided 10 eggs daily al during Decomber, excopt for one day, Christmas, Dec. 25, wbon oie- von eggs were found in the nests. Frank collected 10 eggs Dec. 24, and 10 Dec. 26, so the clear cvi- dence is that anc puilet laid two eggs on Christmas day. The story ties in with The Statesman for it was a "For Sale" ad. that resulted in the purchase af tho 1948 pullets by Frank from Milton Wight, Providence. Bought mn the fali just as they were bo- gînning ta lay, the woll-ied fiock went into production on an in- creasing scale until the customary daily limit was reached and thon passed in the manner above rela- ted.

Mr. 1Bernie Hdgetts of Trinity Col- -ege Port Hope was guest speaker. He was intrduced by Lion Don Williams gs a famous former ath- lete with the "Orphans," and was sborn and educatd in Cobourg. aAfter graduating from University f Toron ta ho taugt for 2 years at Pickering Cllego and then spent 2 yars at the Lakefield preparatory school. Ho is now in is 7tb year at Trinity College were ho serves as Director of Atletics and hcad of the History Department. The prgramn was under the cairmanship ai Lion Stan Rick- ard who arly in the prceedings took over from President Jack Brough after the'latter had form- erly welcamed the many young guests. Secretary Lion Nels Osborne disclased that attendance over the past 3 months in the Bowmani ville Club had been 96 per cent and certainly it seemed that not only evry Lion was present on Monday night, but also he had a son or daughter (some adopted for the evenng only) with him. The young cubs did full justice ta a very fine meal, which was well served by Mrs. Southey's Church group oi St. John's churcb. Spart Quis Mr. Hodgetts opened his ad- dress by stating that he would ask questons on sport fram the young fry first and then follow up with questions from their Dads. This unnusual form of ap- proach met with instant enthus- astic response when Mr. Hodgetts asked the children present, what good they expected ta get out of sprt. Ho very soon got straight- forward replies and from them built up a thesis for a heart ta heart talk on sport. Fun, a strong and healthy bdy, character and above al a sense of well being, security and a sense of belorng- ing, are the main asseos in any well developed sport program. At the same time Mr. Hodgetts' admitted that there was argument against sports and for these argu- ments ho called upon the aduitsi for their views.
