TWO MILLION ATTENDANCE DUE AT OSHAWA CIVIC AUDITORIUM THIS VEAR Total attendance at the Osh- awa Civice Auditorium since it was opened in December 1964, should pass the 2 million mark 'by the end of this year' according to Dir- ector iii Kurelo.

To Frank 'Dule' His, Arnold Wade was a great personal friend. "If. anyone connected with basebaîl in Ontario did not know Arnold Wade there was some- thing wýrong" said Mr. His upon hearing the tragic news. "H1e was a great man and was instrumenital more than any one else for the suecess of basebali in this area. lie was a'robust man who said what hie thought. Hie was very frank and very honest and hie neyer let the fact go by that hie was a stauneh Liberal," lie added.1 The 'Lakeshore Umpires Asso- ciation lias been attributed as be- ing the greatest contribution Mr. -Wade made to basebaîl. Don Gilhooley, former execu- tive meniber of the LUA who worked closely with Mr. Wade for many years said that Mr. Wade was the one man tb.at kept basebali going in this arca for the last 10 years., iadecd fortunate that a young woman visitinýg the shop did not bave sufficient funds to purchase the quilt or it would have had a nev, home in New York State. She was one of the Amenican vis- itors at the Strawbenny Fields" Rock Festival at Môsport. Thre reason for the Onono in- terest is in the feet that ýll six- teen blocks have a name or in- i tial of an 1&837 resident embroîd- ered on tliem. These ladies were all connected with the former Christian Ohurcli on Milii Street. We believe the quilt was made during tlie years 1887-89. Rev. J. H. Shoults was the pastor then in charge. Some namnes embnoidered on the quilt are: Mrs. A. A. Gamsby; Mrs. A. R. Gamsby; Mrs. J. H. Slioults; Mrs. E. E. Billings; Mrs. F. L. Andrus; Mrs. W. W. Truli; Mrs. J. Beer; Mrs. W. Kelley; Josephine (pro'bably the spinster daugliter of Jones Gamsby). Our &éýmerican visitor had no way of knowingý thet she and the names on the quilt had something in commo.n. The or iginal Gemsby's, I'rull,'s, Billings', Andrus', came to Canada from the U.S. Member- slip of the Christian Chuncli was composed meinly of Arnericans or those of American descent.
