Dan- ing to Norm Gill's orchestra was one of the big attractions, and there were games, a bingo, and rides for the youngsters, George MacLeod, president of the Legion, drew the winning tic- ket for the big draw. The grand prize, a television set, was won by Harry Atkinson, Bronte. G M. Arnold, Haliburton, won an order for gasoline, and ten-pound bags of sugar went to Mr. May- nard, Mrs. L. Stansbury, Louise Macfarland, Larry Wilson and EB, W. Burton. Winning number in the Ladies' Auxillary draw for a blanket was 56. It was unclaimed.

Oh, yes, as this scribe reluct- antly pulled himself away from the pool's edge, he counted noses again and found there were 18 in the class. Up until then, he hadn't noticed that Walter Allen and Philip Crompton were among the pupils. The girls were Bar- bara Gunyon, Ann McCausland, Joan Brennan, Donna MacRae, Lorraine Wright, Carolyn Arm- strong, Joan Farley, Lorna Keene, Barbara Ross, Karen Peck, Mar- jorie Vardon, Joan Hall, Muriel McLeod, Meg MacTaggart, Bar- bara Campbell and Caroline Jaf- fray. Reason for the accent on fem- Ininity Is purely a monetary one, director Kenhedy explained. "When the lads finish the school term, they're off to the job that will give them the best return for the summer's work. We could use more fellows at both camp and playgrounds, but they're hard to line up," he sald. Walt and Phil didn't let thelr minority status hamper thelr ef- forts, however. Both showed them- selves to be capable mermen, and should be a big help to Ted in his big warm weather program.

E. Ham- mell, Esq. A few feet in front of us, as we lolled back in luxur- lousy relaxation, the clear, azure waters of a big swimming pool sparkled in the warm morning sun And lining the pool's tiled edge, in a manner reminiscent of Bus. ter Crabbe's famed water ballet, were sixteen of Oakville's loveli- est mermaids. Suddenly, at a shouted com- mand, sixteen pairs of arms flash- ed back, thirty-two shapely feet braced against the tiling, and six- teen svelte forms hit the water in a graceful series of: spaced dives. With audible gasp, this representative turned to address an admiring comment to young Mr. Kennedy, only to find serene, placid expression changed one iota. It was we decided that we were wrong line of business. Anyone who can watch such an enticing display of feminine aquatics with- out batting an eye MUST have the best job in town!

Lions Predict This Year's Bazaar Will Top Previous Events When the merry-go-round breaks down, as the popular song says in effect, life tends to get a bit tedious and Involved. In the case of the annual Lions Club of Oakville summer bazaar, it was the terraplane ride that went out of kilter, But misfortune seldom fazes the Lions one little bit. a matter of fact, publicist Arch Grant voices happy assur- ance this week that the gala ba- zaar, which runs through Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, will be the best ever. The defaulting terraplane, which went on the hummer at the last minute, has been replaced with another at- traction. There'll be rides a-plen- ty, says Arch, and the usual stellar games of skill and chance for which the Lions are famed, Then there'll be vaudeville, en- tertainment and refreshments. A mammoth bingo will offer $1,000 in prizes. The Saturday afternoon "Mutt Show" and colorful child- ren's parade will be definite small fry features. And at night, a daz zling display of fireworks will rank with the drawing for a 1950 car as chief focal point of Inter- est.
