Rotarians Hear Address On Musical Festivals ¥ BOWMANVILLE -- Difficulties and rewards involved with staging Kiwanis Music Festivals were com- pared by Norman Armstrong, Pet: erborough, chairman of the Kiwan- is Music Festival Committee, ad- dressing Rotarians at their last meeting. Describing the effort mo- mentarily, he said the Kiwanis Club had invested ra "lost" $6,000 in its past six Peferborough festivals, but added, "you get more out of it than you put into it." He pointed to Ray Dudley's musical success as partly attributable to Kiwanis Music Festivals, saying, '"'we con- tend the ladder of his success con- tains one rung provided by our festival." Mr. Armstrong said the festival year begins in June, with the festi- val scheduled for the following' year: "we contract with a highly- able musician to set a syllabus -- Mr. W. R. Rothwell of Stratford." Defending the action against people contending a local musician should set the syllabus, he added, "as he is not living among us, it is im- possible to point the finger in his direction and accuse him of favour- ing a certain select section of the community." Turning away from the difficulties of organization, he told of benefits, the case of a nine- year-old girl who "froze' onstage while taking part in her first festi- val, and who the following year won her class for 10-year-olds. He suggested to Rotarians estab- lishment of a Bowmanville Music Festival. Want to buy, sell or trade? A Classified Ad and the deal is made. Men Provided Their Supper BOWMANVILLE -- A 'test sup- per" was featured recently at the second regular meetizg of St. John's Young Men's Association, held at the church, with members volunteering to bring such food- stuffs as scalloped potatoes, baked ham, and peach upside-down cake. After the inaugural supper, mem- bers decided during the business session to continue with the supper- meeting prcedure which they con- sidered the most enjoyable type of gathering.

AJAX AND DISTRICT NEWS John Mills, Representative Phone Pickering 355-J-3 Liquor Vote Was Heavy Burden On Officials AJAX (Times-Gazette Staff Re- porter) -- The liquid vote was tak- en on Monday without any unto- ward incident. Everyone was most orderly and exhibited extreme pa- tience when the congestion as the polls closed caused long waits in the damp chilly air. The workers at the polling booths deserve special mention in that a long tiring day of nearly 12 hours ®:: followed by about 4 or 5 hours of tedious counting, checking, and rechecking to ensure absolute accuracy. The large number of spoiled bal- lots, while not affecting the issue in any way, slowed the counting in all polls the spoiled ballots ranged from eight to 15 on each question. . Only a simple "X" was required to indicate yes or no, but several wrote yes or no and made other markings which caused rejection. The results were so conclusive that any kind of a recount would not be considered by either party. It was a very tired crew of work- ers who handed in the final returns just after 2 a.m, Tuesday morning. Complete tabulations was done by 2.30 a.m. Returning Officer B. C. Falby and Election Clerk William Noble set sup a tabulation board in the municipal offices and returns were marked on the board as they ar- rived. Early in the evening quite a large group of interested persons gathered to await the results but the long wait reduced the group to but three or four at the last. Sunday Services At jax Gospel Centre AJAX -- After a magic object lesson illustrating the need for everyone to obey the Gospel and accept Christ as Savoiur, the Sun- ay School at the Ajax Gospel entre was led in a cheery sing- song of choruses. Young Albert Pope operated the sing-o-meter which records the volume of the children's singing. He certainly had those boys and girls pushing the indicator up to the top, and all enjoyed this part of our Bible school immensely. The scripture lesson was then read after which the Bible school separated for their different classes. Classes re-convened for the preaching service, conducted this week by Ken Campbell in the ab- sence of his father, 'the pastor. Rev. Mr. Campbell was in Mont- real at Hope Chapel, World Mis- sions, Montreal base for Evange- lism. Douglas Rice and family, former members eof the Ajax Church, are faithfully ministering at Hope Chapel. The text for the morning was, II Chronicles, 7:14 -- "If mv peo- 'humanity. | the blood of His corss", the speak- ple which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways:then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." It was pointed out from this passage, that a great deal of the responsibility for conditions in our land rests on 'God's People", born-again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is up to Christians to be hum- ble, to pray, to seek God's face, and to turn from their wicked ways. Only then will God bless with answered prayer. The respon- sibility clearly rested on Christians to live up to what God expected of them, in the first part of the verse. Then God would give us the promises of the last part of the verse. A fine congregation was present for the evening service. Speaking from Col. 1:20, "Peace through er, Ken Campbell, followed through God's plan of salvation for a lost READERS' VIEWS Thanks For Asistance To Citizens Committee The Editor, The Times-Gazette, Sir, Through the pages of your newspaper I should like to express my sincere thanks and apprecia- tion to all the citizens of Ajax who rallied so nobly to my support in the plebiscite that is now passed. 0 the 24 poll captains and scru- tineers; to the large staff at our headquarters; to the 20 car driv- ers and to the larger number of ladies who acted as baby sitters, I wish to express heart - felt thanks for your unrelenting efforts that contributed so much to our success on polling day. To all the members of the committee who labored untiringly for weeks before the vote in planning and preparing for the campaign, I sincerely thank you for your splendid efforts. While it is not my wish to single out individuals for special praise, and while I know it is not the desire of anyone who worked so unselfishly as did everyone, to be singled out, yet I know that it would be the wish of all who work- ed on this campaign to have me extend a special word of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Goslin who opened their home to us to use as headquarters, and who extended such generous hospitality to all. Finally, I should like to thank the large number of citizens who turned out to the polls and by their votes against the six types of outlets that our Committee op- posed, made possible the decisive defeat of these questions. The citi- zens of Ajax are to be congratulat- ed on the splendid interest display- ed in this their first opportunity to San their ballots in a municipal vote, It was most encouraging to note To Discuss Plans For Ajax Arena AJAX -- (Times-Gazette Staff Reporter) -- A meeting to discuss the possibility of building an arti- ficial ice arena will be held in the Municipal Board Room on Monday evening, March 23 at 8 p.m, Jack McKay, president of the Ajax Boys Club is calling the meeting and informed the Times- Gazette today that several out of town visitors including Charlie Con- acher, would be present.
