Roast Legion President At Interclub Gathering The anuai interclub meet- ing of Bowmanville's service clubs held at the Lion's Community Centre on March 22 was an affair that local legion president, Stan Dunn probably will not easily forget. A large number turned out for the annual gathering of Lions, Kinsmen, Rotary, Kiwanis and Jaycees. If everybody who attended the dinner meeting knew beforehand that Mr. Dunn was to be toasted, they kept it a "well guarded secret", the Legion president later told the audience. The unsuspecting roastee, who recently celebrated his 62nd birthday, said the event had been a complete surprise to him when he was finally allowed to speak after five club members roasted him in the tradition of Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts for NBC. Whether or not it was a pleasant surprise for him is a question that only he could answer, although from the enthusiastic laughter of the club members, they appeared to enjoy his roasting. The similarity between a roast and a toast ends with the rhyme between the words. Actually, roasting somebody is like putting them in front of a firing squad armed with nasty remarks, leaving them the privilege of defending themselves only after every- thing from reputation to childhood experiences have come under satire. The five men who roasted him kept within the tradition, leaving no area of his past or present life untouched in their comments. The whole idea behind the roast, emcee Keith Jackson said, was "to give him his bouquet while he can still smell it." That set the tone for the rest of the roast and was the cue for the five men to begin their attack. Charles Reid, Jim Robin- son, Ted Miller, Don Master- son and Stew McTavish were the five men chosen by the inter-club committee for the hatchet job. Don Masterson told the gathering that Mr. Dunn was born with a set of tickets in each hand, a comment which satirized his talent for selling tickets for Legion lotteries and draws. He also told a story about an incident that apparently happened in Mr. Dunn's early days as an organizer of community events. He ar- ranged for an indoor carnival in the Memorial Arena and it probably would have been a tremendous success if it had not been rained out because the roof leaked so badly. Rotarian Stew McTavish did an impersonation of comedian Foster Brooks, a regular guest on the NBC roasts. With the' quivering voice of a man who supposedly has consumed too much alcohol, Mr. McTavish revealed other unknown or forgotten details about the guest of honor's past history. Instead of a rebuttal in his closing remarks to the gather- ing, Mr. Dunn reminded them of Don Masterson's campaign for the Kinsmen's national Vice Presidency and asked them to give him their support in whatever way possible. Some of the men left with worthwhile souvenirs of the evening which included door prizes such as a tennis racket, Plan Meeting A meeting between Ontario Housing officials and New-, castle councillors and the regiopal planning staff has been arranged for sometime in April, according to Mayor Garnet Rickard.
