Bowmanville Bowmanville drew a bye and played Cobourg, the winner of the first game! Bowmanville was 4 shots in the lead coming home and the skip called for a long end which should have ensured victory, but for some reason, the Cobourg team was 3 shots ahead when Skip, Ab Mavin came up to bowl and for some strange reason, his two bowls were short and the.last bowl of all was wide, while Cobourg. counted five shots to win the game.

A very good crowd was in attendance and I am sure Peter and Rena were happy to see all of their own friends from years ago. On Saturday, August 2nd, Doris and Oscar Wollstein, Ab and Mabel Mavin travelled to Port Hope to take part in the Jock Bennett Memorial Trophy consisting of mixed pairs. Ab and Mabel had a very enjoyable day even if everyone did have a rain delay but ended out of the money, losing all 3 games, Oscar and Doris did much better; winning winning 2 games with a total of 38, not high enough for prize money. Results were: 1 game high - T. Butcher, Cobourg 38; 2 game 2nd high - A. Terwille- gar, Oshawa 46 plus 2; 2 game high - J. Gordon, Cobourg 52; 3 game 2nd high - J.

"You can get almost anything anything you can think of in salt and pepper shakers," she. said. Indeed, Mrs. Braybrook does have almost everything. everything. From a hat stand set to a piano that pops the shakers up when the keyboard is pushed, she has them all. The idea to collect the pieces originated with her husband, John. One day he brought her a rather interesting interesting set, and the idea took off. Ever since, Mrs. Braybrook has been receiving receiving salt and pepper shakers for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, and all other special occasions. Friends and family members members give her shakers based on her other hobbies. "I love to cook and bake," sikkens sikkens CetoM >!

"All her kitchen stuff" includes includes salt and pepper frying frying pans, blenders, milk pitchers, a lunch pail and thermos, a toaster, and much more. The toaster has a lever, and when this is pushed, the salt and pepper holders pop up. What form do these shakers take? Why, a white and a brown piece of bread of course! Over the past few years, Mrs. Braybrook has also collected collected different types of foods, people, animals, and : flowers. The more traditional traditional pieces, like the crystal crystal shaker with the brass top, are the more valuable in the entourage. Many of the pieces were found at auction sales, antique antique stores, and flea markets. markets. "The family is always looking," she said. "My husband husband buys more than I do. I wouldn't pay the exorbitant amount for a set like' he does sometimes." "I don't have too many plastic ones because the china ones are a better buy." Mrs. Braybrook is attached attached to all her salt and pepper shakers; she does not have a favourite one out of all the sets. "When I find something strange, I get excited about it," she admitted. "But if I had to pick just one set, I couldn't do it." Although many of the salt and pepper sets are from the Bowmanville area, Mrs. Braybrook has plenty from other countries as well. In her collection, there are salt and pepper shakers from England, Jamaica, Nashville, Florida, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Newfoundland, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Mexico and Africa. A number number of sets are made from what is called monkey glass, and they came from Hawaii. One of the most unusual sets Mrs. Braybrook ever received received was from her uncle. At first glance, they did not look unique. But this set, made in China, could be wound up and made to walk. In Mrs. Braybrook's house, when you ask for the salt and pepper, salt and pepper is what you will get -- even if the shakers walk to you on their own accord! ,, ilmot orchards Growers of Quality Fruit R.R. 2.

I would like to thank him on behalf of the club and I am sure Ivan is very grateful. The big question is why isn't Town Council doing anything in regards to keeping the outside clean. Although we have numerous students employed by the town, no one seems to bother cleaning up around the arena or outside the Lawn Bowling Club. Rain held down the attendance at our last Jitney but we still had 1,12 end game. We hope to see more out in the future as the season is coming closer to the end.
