The DeGeer coached boys were tied with Port Hlope on league points so the sud- den death garne was necessary to decide who was to go into the «.B.A. playdowns with Trenton. The Blue and Gold boys were on top for the entire game with the whoie team working as a machine. Gilbart and Clemence ,were the chie! scorers with 16 and 12 points respectively. At the end of haîf time the locals were on the top side o! a 17-10 score. Things were a littie evener in the second frarne but neverthe- less the locals again came through on the winning side. E. MdIl- veen and Mclntyre were the main offenders on the foui list.

EVENTFUL SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY Standing the Same in Ladies' Bowling Last Friday's games did not change the standing in the Ladies' Major League. It is still Ada Tomlinson's Head Pins, Vi Cooie's Co-Coos, Bern Carter's Lucky Strikes and Doris Polley's Win- some Winners. In looking back it is interesting to note that at one time or another each o! the first three tearns has held first place and once the league-leaders were in the cellar. Next Friday will be the last- game o! the schedule. Let's have everyone out and see some lively competition. High singles: Lillian Phillips 244, Doris Polley 242, Bern Carter 218, Marg King 216, Duaine Palm- er 215. High triples: Doris Polley 579, Lillian Phillips 569, Bern Carter 564, Muriel Henderson 541.

Normandy, and a in describing the dangers and di!- e ficulties o! that operation, the thing that he emphasized most, and which seemed to have remain-1 ed rnost vividiy in his memory,f was the lack o! bread. He said there were plenty o! other things to eat, but there was no bread for days, and the men craved and clarnored for it as if they were starving. When at last a shipload o! bread was brought across the channel and the boaves were be- ing distributed in the camp, there was a wild scrarnble. The men could not wait for the bread to be served to them at their meals, but thronged around the newly- arrived truck and fought for the precious loaves, catching them in the air as they were scattered amongst them. When they arrived in Holland, the young airman said they !ound the people starving. Chiidren would gather around the air!ield begging for food and rummaging through kitchen garbage, grabb- ing at crusts and pieces o! stale bread with which they wouid rush off to their homes as if they had !ound the "pearn o! great price." Yes, bread is the staff o! life, and the people o! war-shattered Europe and' even o! Britain are praying more earnestly than ever and with literal meaning, "Give us this day our daiiy bread." And bread is something more than a food, for its color has come to be the criterion o! good living and freedom. Black bread has always 7symbolised poverty and oppress- 5ion; white bread. freedom and tnking a garne f ish out o! season, estnblishment o! a new hatchery or expansion o! the present one at Deer Lake, and an increase in properly trained garne overseers. housing shortage be overcome. Forty-five attended the Sunday School with one teacher being absent. Certificates and seals for 1945 attendance were presented. A full list will appear next week. Better roads resulted in better attendance at church Sunday ev- ening.

Ere had to be content with black bread, and with the ail-round raising o! the standard o! living which is visualized in the Atlantic Charter, there is bound to be a demand, not only for more wheat and flour, but for whiter flour to make whiter bread. Today, in order to meet the critical shortage, the people o! Britain and the United States are using darker bread, realizing full well that in doing so they are sacrificing. be- cause they have accepted the mark o! a lower living stabdard. But as long as people prefer white bread, let us neyer forget the people who mnust still eat black. Let us hope that the priv- ilege o! eating white bread which we now enjoy may soon extend around the world.

We are sorry to report the passing o! Mr. Chas. HIughes on Monday morning, and extend our syrnpathy to his !arn- iy. W.M.S. met in Sunday School htall on March l2th. It was decided to have our Easter Thank-Offer- ing on Good Friday, April l9th, at 2:30 p.m. with the pastor as speaker and special music. An invitation is to be given to the ladies at Kendal and Shiioh thus making it a service for the whole circuit. Secretary reports receiving two girls' dresses, size four for the bale. Comrnittee agreed to be- gin work on layette for same. Several quilt blocks were handed in. President took charge of the devotional; Mrs. C. Robinson read a paper thought!ully prepared by Mrs. G. Stapleton, who on account o! her father's illness, was unable to be present. The interesting story was taken fromn the study book and described travels o! Dr. Cur- rie o! Chasambra. Remember your date with your neighbours at the Film Board pic- tures in the cornmunity hall on Wednesday evening. This is their last showing, if the attendance is poor, so vye are hoping ronds and weather are good. No organiza- tion has corne forwnrd to sponsor these pictures. This is understnnd- able as they are o! necessity free and organizations are usunlly busy with rnoney-raising projects. If people understood the whole situation, I believe more would be determined to keep these pictures corning for the sake o! our public school children. The success o! this method o! tenching cannot be estirnated as yet. After rnuch thought I have de- cided to tnlk things over with my fniends and neighbours hoping to find an echo somewhere. When the Film Board first introduced these pictures I drenmed a drearn. It was an occasional cornrunity get-together; old, young; men, wo- men; farmers, villagers; pioneer farnilies nnd new corners. Wîth our various and srnnll organiza- tions we are fast becoming a corn- munity o! cliques and classes. There is nothing wrong about these organizations. They are good and I say more power to them. The trouble is we are los- ing 4 point o! contact with the whole. The religious or social life o! a church is not taken ad- vantage o! as this point o! con- tact as o! you. In large centres where paid public servants are able to keep that centre running srnoothly this can happen without much darnage, but not s0 in rural comi-munities such as ours. Pro- gress can only corne through mutual understanding and co-op- eration by ail, brought about by !reeiy rningling together and studying our peculiar problerns from everyone's point o! view. Because I firmiy believe in the loyalty o! the men and wornen o! this district and that this is our opportunity to take a step forward together, I make this rny last plea. e Besides the pictures there will be mnusical numbers by the public school pupils. The rest of the evening is ours. With no com- nuttees, no bosses, the responsibil- ity o! putting it over rests squarely on ail o! us. If we bring lunch, we est.
