Last _Saturday, on the Pacific ooast, the 32-year old Bowmanville Kinsman successful- ly captured the office by defeat'tng a Calgary contender who was his only opponent in the- Winni ng the Vice- Presidency at the Van- couver convention, this year automatically assures Don of the Presidency in 1977-78. It also marks the f irst time that any mem ber of a Bowmanville service club has sought and attained such a high office at the national level of a service organization.1 And as one of Don's local supporters added, ""Don's victory really put Bowmanville on the map." For theGeneral Motors industrial engineer, the Win climaxes il years of dedication and hard work with the Kinsmen, much of it af the local and district levels of the service club. Highlights of ear lier years of his career as a Kinsman include' the, presidency of the Bowmanville club in 1969-70 and the governor- ship of District 8 in 1974-75.

The game was scoreless at the end of regular time and tension was so built up that at tîmes it sounded more like a playoff hockey game than soccer with fans screeching at the ref and urging their 7 tg 10 year old players on. We hear that longtime soccer fan, and player Ralph Davey said it's the first soccer championship he can remember coming to Tyrone. Live it up you hilitoppers, you deserve it! RETRIBUTION - For the past two weeks, we've published rather unhappy stories about J. Hogervorst's pigeons being killed by an un- known murderer, for a loss approaching $1,000. But, crime doesn't pay, and last night the noc- turnal marauder came to a timely end when it returned to the scene of the crime with blood- lust in its eyes. t ýqueezed into the pigeon loft and slaughtered two birds but'this time the vigilantes were waiting. It was ready, aim, fire and one dead raccoon will no longer menace the neighborhood. Wonder if its mate will come a-looking. SPEAKING OF PIGEONS - at the Town's Committee of the Whole meeting on Monday, councillors decided to ask bylaw officer Horace Best to investigate what other municipalities are doing to control pigeons. One of the wags on our staff suggests Mr. Best prepare a white paper on the subject which can h ave some amusing connotations. GOOD LUCK - Word came in late Tuesday that Councillor Ann Cowman, chairman of the Community Services Committee, was planning to cail a special meeting thi s morning with the hope of obtaining approval for putting the ice in at Bowmanville arena as soon as possible. Evenî if repairs aren't made immediately, the arena may be kept open until Oct. lSth. In the meantime an evaluation is underway and practices or skating can be held during the time council and the Ministry of Labor are studying what has to be done and proceedingI with those repairs. We may know more before press deadline. CLOSED FOR WEDDING - Hooper's Jewellery and Gift Shop on King St. East will be closed all day Saturday w,,hile the, whole family and the staff attend a wedding. One of the Hooper girls is gettig married. Hope you have a nice day.

There was at least one more, attack on birds in the Bow- manville area last week, but this time the birds attacked were chickens, not pigeons. -And this time, theanimal that killed the birds was shot.

The animal was shot at the homne of Andrew Sul, Manvers Road, about four miles north of Bowmanville. Mrs. Sul said it was killed inside the chicken coop. But before the mink was, destroyed, a ýtotal of 24 chickens had been kiled. They Were part of a flock of about 50 birds and Mrs. Sul said they were worth about $75.
