Durham County Teams Declared Champions Junior Farmers Sports The annual sports day of the Quinte Junior Farmers Associa- tions was held at Presq'ile Point, Friday. It was the first such oc- casioh held since 1931 and a great crowd of junior boys and girls gathered from the seven counties represented. Agricultural Rep- resentative E. A. Summers head- ed a strong contingent from Dur- ham County. The day was given over to inter-county softball and track and field contests. The Dur- ham softball team was chosi from several townships and the girls' team was made up of Orono regulars with a few from ther points. No local entries were made in the track and field events. Thirteen preliminary ball games were played to determine the fin- alists. Both Durham teams came through the early contests and both captured championships in the finals. The girls' team had a close contest, edging out North- umberland 7-6. The boys' team beat Peterboro handily 15-10. Coach Summers, who for tlhe past 17 years has had his junior farmers win many provincial and national championships in judg- ing contests was much elated to find that after 15 years' absence from sports contests, his two Durham County teams captured the dual championship in soft- ball among very keen competition. The day concluded with a dinner and dance. Congratulations are expressed for this new achieve- ment. POPULARITY CONTEST There are only two more weeks to go in the Legion Popularity Contest with all the top leaders working hard to get more votes.

CARNIVAL Legion Beauty Contest Entry Wants Prize Money for Farm It is interesting to hear the1 reasons why some of the entriesa in the Legion Beauty Contest onr August 22-23 have signed on the1 dotted line. One girl from the country is entering, not because she is out to win fame and fortune -.as a model, but because she is after the prize money of $100 plus over $200 in merchandise. It appears that her brothers have recently taken over a farm and require some financial assistance and she feels that, if she wins, she will be able to help. Another entry has gone patrio- tic and feels tl4at by entering she is helping the veterans put their Carnival across and, as she says, "Any inconvenience, expense or embarrassment I am put to is nothing when you think of the wonderful work they have done in winning the war for us. I hope they make enough money so they can get a real Memorial Hall." So it goes, each entry with her own reason for entering, but they all feel that it should be a heap of fun and a real contest. If they win they'll be happy and in the mon- ey. If they don't win, they'll think the judges are wrong. Some are happy about the no bathing suit rule, while others feel that they would have had a better chance in the abbreviated, more reveal- ing costume. The official dressefor the event is: no hats, street dresses wîth or without jewellery, no suits, ny- lons or no nylons as desired and anything for the feet fromn bed- room slippers to running shoes. No stipulation has been made re- garding the unmentionable gar- ments. To date no word has been re- ceived from Miss Toronto who has been invited to be one of the judges, but the contestants may rest assured that competent out- of-town judges will be obtained for the event. Most recent addition to the list of prizes is a three-month free pass to the Royal Theatre for the girl who wins the "Miss West Durham" title. Entries have been received from many outlying points including Hampton, Orono, and Newcastle with more coming in every day. It is unlikely that entries will close until the first night of the fair, but contestants are urged to enter now so that theirupictures nay be taken for publicity purposes. Anyone who has already entered or is wiling to enter is asked to be at the home of the photographer, John James, on Friday night between 7 and 9 p.m. The address is 83 Scugog Street. Reports indicate that the Popu- larity Contest is also rousing con- siderable interest in the district with tickets going like hotcakes and more entries being placed every day. If you have not already bought a ticket which entitles you to one vote see a Legion member today. The prizeafor the winner is $100. SATURDAI ____________________________ 'a> WINS MFJtIT CITATION1 Ralph H. Carruthers The Office of Strategic Services, nited States Army, has confer- edi on Raiph H. Carruthers thé 'ertificate of Menit, for distin- eished service with the army in urope. Mr. Carruthers is eldest on of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Car- uthers, Bowmanville. A graduate of Queen's Univers- y, Mr. Carruthers took post- raduate work at Columbia Un- versity, N.Y., and for the past 7 years has been on the staff of he New York Public Library as hief of the Library's Photogra- hic Service Division. Highly ;killed in his field, Mr. Carruth- ýrs spent three and a half years rith the U.S.A. army overseas. The citation of the honor states: From the fall of 1942 Mr. Car- uthers served continuously over- eas as Chief of the Interdepart- mental Committee in Europe. He stablished IDC outposts in Port- gal, Britain, France and Ger- many. As a result of his direction he IDC teams penetrated the con- inent in the summer -and fall of 944, and later with the armies ecured reproductions of thous ands of scientific and strategi documents, books, reports. Many outside the normal reach of G-2 and T-Force were of direct oper ational value to the Allied vic tory." How much these trained men contributed to final victory wil be known only when official his tories are written. The above news will be received locally with much satisfaction for Mr. Car ruthers is still regarded as a Bow manville boy who has won dis tinction in his activities. OSHAWA BOWLERS WIN The. handsome Goodyear Tro phy emblematic of the annua tournament conducted by Bow manville Lawn Bowling Club o Civic Holiday was won by a Oshawa rink composed of Har old Brent, skip, Sam McMillan Chas.

Sing. Three Bow manville rinks skipped by Fran Williams, Albert Moore and Os car LaBelle were the gracious an ideal hosts in allowing the vi itors to win all the prizes. Wesleyville Council Conserves Supplies To Finish Housing Scheme The regular August session of Town Council, held Tuesday ev- ening, was about the shortest on record. There were only three communications, fewer committee reports. Main discussion was on the town housing project with Mr. Hanlon, representing the To- ronto Construction Co. present to report on progress. His estimate is that the first house in the 12- unit housing on Veterans Ave. will be ready for occupancy Au- gust 15. The supply situation is adequate to go on and complete the remainder at the rate of one per week. It was learned that four of the houses are already sold, with many enquiries for the remainder. Supplies for interior finish are still in short supply and priorities still rule but builders are scurry- ing around to pick up materials where found. The suggestion that supplies for town housng be shared with other contractors was turned down since there was no guarantee that these could be re- turned in time to complete the work. A special council meeting will be held Monday evening fur- ther to press construction and sale of t4iese houses. A letter from Downham Nurs- eries thanked council for deepen- ing the ditch on Simpson Ave. which permits tiling of their pro- perty. To accommodate this the ditch may be again deepened and , tiled to carry overflow. But with tile in short supply, the work may . carry over to next year. Coun- 1 cillor Allison is in Ottawa taking up this tile question with the gov- ernment. - Bowmanville Fuel and Supply has offered $50 for the town scales and agrees to fill in the escale pît.

Bickle atRotary e i e Chamber of Commerce t Appoint Committee É Compile Facts on Town c Every effort will be made to get new industries for Bowman- ville it was learned at the Cham- ber of Commerce executive meet- ing held Thursday evening. A special "New Industry" commit- tee will be formed headed by Wm. James with the job of compiling facts about Bowmanville for pre- sentation to prospective manu- facturers. The approaches to the Bow- manville Beach and the general improvement of the beach came up for lengthy discussion. All members of the executive de- plored the rough condition of the roads leading to one of Ontario's most convenient and popular summer resorts. After much dis- cussion it was decided to leave the matter over until next week when it is hoped the mayor will be at the meeting. The new rink and the recrea- tion centre were the next matters to be considered. A delegation was appointed to attend the meet- ing at the Council Chambers on August 8th. Another meeting of the execu- tive was called for Friday, Aug. 9th when the report from the rink committee will be heard and the final list of committees arranged. S.S.

His brother and bride en route to honeymoon rendez- vous called around and left Elvin. Mrs. Knight and Kathleen, Pet- erboro, were also guests of Mrs. McReele's. Marion and David McReeles had their tonsils removed in Bowman- ville Hospital. Mrs. A. A. Gibson is suffering from rheumatic fever. "The fortitude of the women of oday in enduring self-imposed discipline, even discomfort, in or- der to appear more beautiful, has raised the beauty culture profes- sion to the status of big business n modern civilized commun- ties." This was made plain at the Rotary Club, Friday, by Ro- tarian Howard Bickle who, in his classification address, proved a speaker of ability in setting forth many highlights of the business conducted by himself and Mrs. Bickle, the Estelle Beauty Salon, Bowmanville. It was evident that Rotarians were intrigued with the mysteries unfolded for they listened attentively, with many contemplatively smoothing domes fringed with scanty hirsute adorn- ment. Jack Allin gave the personal story. Born in Toronto, Mr. Bickle came on to Bowmanville, age 12, to complete his education. He came to his present profession by way of the family market garden, leaving, said Jack, the cultivation of cabbage heads for the multi- hued kind so sleekly coiffured in this centre of pulchritude and re- finemWit. Deft, experienced Es- telle ulture has done much to captivate interest among fath- ers, husbands, sweethearts, add lustre to street promenades and charm to all social gatherings. It was a nice introduction. Mr. Bickle traced the begin- nings of beauty culture to an- cient Egypt when Pharoahs de- manded personal adornment in court and harems, when Cleopat- ra captivated Antcpy and others of note with sweet smelling un- guents deft slaves used to lend lustre to her scheming sky-piece. The Roman era fell heir to the art and Caesar searched the known world for alchemists with ointments to check his growing baldness. France, under Louis VIII, introduced wigs to camou- flage naked domes. French wo- men conjured piled-up hair-dos that required arched doorways to permit their stately entrance. Thus the evolution of hair dress- (Continued on Page Ten) U Ce E sc ru it gr ix 17 th C p ci P. sk r 41 n e u t t ti 1 s ite AITEND O LIONS Beach Sports Day Program Enjoyed by Tanned Crowds ______ 'el 1 1 Lions Club's Brilliant Record In Fine Community Projects Justifies Carnival Support Saturday evening, Aug. 10th, ized the Lions Bicycle Safety Club at the Public School grounds, the and set up the School Safety traf- Lions Club of Bowmanville will fic patrol, both of which required be hosts to the entire district at cash expenditure and are doing their annual fair and carnival.
