Hymn and brought to a close a very effective and inspirational service. CHEERIO ENTERTAINERS HAVE FINE RECORD OF RAISING $9,661 Well known in Bowmanville is Mrs. Eleanor Durno and her Cheerio Variety Entertainers. Featured in the Toronto Evening Telegram is a two column story of c what Mrs. Durno and her troupe have done for the war effort. As soon as war broke out their ac- tivities were turned to support of the British War Victims' Fund and during the past four years they have given 221 fund concerts which have contributed $9,661.00 in cash for the cause. The troupe had its inception in 1927 and has flourished ever since. Many young artists have been developed and as soon as they go out into life on their own, other artists are trained to take their places. Many have joined the fighting services. These in- clude both Bill and Mac Durno, c sons of Mrs. Durno. The former is overseas, the latter at Camp Borden. Also overseas are Paddy Welsh and Leonard Somerscales of Bowmanville, who took part with the troupe in many B.W.V.F. concerts. On several occasions Mrs. Durno and her entertainers have played in Bowmanville, the latest on the occasion of the Christmas entertainment at the Goodyear Recreation Club. No request for an appearance has ever been turn- ed down, no matter what the dis- tance from Toronto, how bad the weather nor how small the audience. The Telegram pays very high tribute to this very patriotic troupe. During the summer Mrs. Durno finds time to come to Bow- manville Beach among her many friends here. Obituary FULLER CATOR On Christmas morning, after a lingering illness, Fuller Cator passed to his eternal rest. He was son of Charles and Mary Cator of England, and of a family of 13, was the last to depart this life, his last brother having died in 1942.
