People Weekly VOLUME 84 BOWMANVJLLE, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1938NUBR7 ROYALS WIN Music Festival Has Most Successful Year in Eight Years of its Engagement Annual Meeting Kears M o s t Encouraging Reports - Society in Best Financial Con- dition Since It Was Formed Durham County's 1938 Music Festival in Bowmanville was the mast successful in the Associa- tions eight year history, reports revealed at the annual meeting in the Cammuniîy Hall aI Newcas- tlie on Monday. Commencing the year with a deficit, the financiai statemenî showed a surplus of $19018 aI the close of the business year. Less than twenty members of the Association were present when the meeting was opened by President J. H. Johnston af Bow- manville. The minutes of the last annual meeting and the audited statement were presented by the secretarytreasurer, Miss H e i e n Monrris, Bowmanville, and bath were unanimousiy adopted. In cammenting on the reports President Johnston gave credit ta the hard warking committees for the success of the venture. "I am satisfied," he said, "that we are making great pnogress, and I be- lieve that the time has came when municipal councils shouid realize that the festival is a part of aur educatianal system, and as such shouid receive financial help, the same as agiculturai fairs and horticullunal societies." Continu- ing, the president expressed the hope that more new blood would join the association. Suggestion Period A period for suggestions of value ta the festival followed and many useful suggestions wene given. In view of. a misunderstanding lasI year when a child was per- mitted ta enter the finals without having competed in the prelimin- aries one suggestion was that the rules of campetition be more strictly adhéred la, and that no contestant, be ailowed ta enter the finals without gaing through the previaus tests. Another useful suggestion was that the same adjudicator be used for two or three years, so that ,ontestants would have a contin- (uty of the same type of judging. Judges difler, il was pointed out, and an entry may gel high marks one year. and iow the next, with an equally good performance, be- cause judges make decisions on a different basis. It was also mentioned Ihat in some instances the test pieces were too hard and particularly was this said ta be sa in the solo instrumental classes, and as a ne- suit entnies in this division were low. Anoîher suggestion was that in- stead of medals, scholarships be awarded. providing lessons for the winners. Medals were of 11111e value, whereas scholarships would 1 at least heip pay the expense of i entry fees and music. Col. E. E. Snider of Port Hope believed Ihat classes should bes opened for Grade 9 and 10 pupilsc in continuation schools, and stili other classes he said could be made for high school students. Twa other suggestions made were that an open solo cçlass fan those outside of Durham County r were placed on the prognam, and <Continued on Page 5) d RURAL SCHOOL FAIRS West Durham Faix- Open at Blackstock an Manday Biackstock- - Monday, Sept. 1 Enniskillen- - Tuesday, Sept.2 Hampton- - Thursday, Sept.2 Maple Grave - - Friday, Sept.2 Newtonvile - Saturday, Sept. 2 Orana - - - - Monday, Sept. 2 PUBLIC MEETING ON NURSE QUESTION CALLED FOR SEPT. 22 A meeting of ail interested citizens, to discuss the matter of a Victorian Order nurse for Bowmanville, has been called for Thursday, Sept. 22nd, in the Town Hall.

(1 suppose that means 8 men in a boat), A newspaper article entitlec "What Happened to the Gradu- ates of 1919?" states: "Raymond Massey was the only man I ever saw with his grey flannel trous- ers carefully creased and who was neyer to be seen in the junior common room without a red car- nation in his buttonhole. Was the liveliest person in Baîhiol." If you ask him his views on men's dress, he will tell you that he hates the 'super-tailored man' or 'dress consciousness' in a man. He considers Gary Cooper to, be the best dressed film star. During the war, Raymond Massey served with the Canadian Field Artillery and was wounded several times. He returned to Canada to as- sist in carrying on the family bus- iness of making farm implements. But the lure of the theatre was too strong. Eventually he won his family's consent to go on the stage on condition that hie would not act or rehearse on Sundays. Some time later his seventy-two- year-old father saw him in G. B. Shaw's play 'Saint Joan'; and with pride and joy the parental blessing was given to young Ray- mond's stage career. Since that day, Raymond Mas- sey has died s0 many times on the stage that hielhis himself lost count of the number.

The main dining room has been equipped with modernistic furnnture, and the mast interesting thing about it is that it was ail manufactured in Bowmanville. The new tables, which are dis- tinctly different, have handsome metal pedestals which were made at the Bowmanville Foundry, while the woodwork, which is immune ta stain and injury from the spilling of hot foods on liquids, was made by the Davis-Houit Ca., also of Bowmanville. In addition the chairs, whjçh are upholstered in red leathen, and the radiaton grills and service wagons were al made by the Davis-Houit Ca. Mn. W. H. Flaherty, the propni- etor, who has made extensive im- provements ta the hotel since takc- ing il aven, invites any who cane 10 visit this dining room and see a room that is really a credit ta Bowmanviile. The Club dining nooma was com- pleteiy renovated some lime ago, and il toa is among the most mod- ern and attractive club rooms in this part of Ontario. Mr. Flaherty is ta be commended on the splen- did improvements he has made at the Balmoral.

The Bow- manville Royals came through with f ive counters to win the game and the intermediate base- bail titie for Eastern Ontario. This was the third gam.e of the playdown series. Powerhouse Phillips was the big factor in the game, pitching fine bail for 12 strike-outs and allowing three waiks. No more than five batters faced hlm ini any one inning and that number in only two stanzas. He gave the eastern bail chasers oniy three hits, while his teammates were heavy on the hardwaod for 12 hits, two of them doubles by Ames and Colville. The game was no walkover for the winners. The Rayais took the iead in the second with two runs when Boydie Siemon, lef t- handedl first sacker who was brought up from the Juniors, rounded first an Gerow's. error at short and was sent around the sacks like a rabbit when Ralph "Zike" Ames, also a Juniorý, drift- ed a double ta the judges' stand in left field. Ames made second and came home on slinger Phil- lips' hit to left centre. Dutch Os- borne, Ted Bagneli and Scotty Cameron were the outs of the inning. From the second until the iucky seventh the Royals had all they could do to hold the one run lead. The third lost them considerable pep and confidence when with two out after a strike-out, a force play at second, two errors, a fielder's choice and a hit ta ieft, Spratt was left on third and Card on first.

ROYALS IN DARK WHO THEY MEET IN NEXT SERIES Late Wednesday, no word had been received by the In- termediate Royals basebal team as to who their oppon- ents will be in the next round of the Ontario playdowns. Some difficulty has been ex-. perienced elimfInating teams in the western division due to the prevalent rains forcing postponements, and local bal fans are of the opinion the Royals may flot swing into action until next week. In the interim the bail chasers are practising as frequently as weather will permit and should be well rested when the next battle is forthcom- ing. and an expert mechanic fromn the city spent most of the week in our press room in ail sorts of posi- tions and contortions putting the parts together. From the press room invectives which echoed to the front office we are convinced the press was in bad shape. Due to press not being ready till Wednesday p.m. the paper is held down to eight pages this week. This necessitated boiling down some copy and holding over other news items till next week when we hope conditions will be back to normal and paper out on time. You'll neyer have good neigh-
