As previously announced oey planned a receptiontto wel- ome to Bowmanville the war brides who have come to 'this ommunity to rejoin their hus- ands and make their homes here. Among the 75who gathered to- gether for the luncheon and pro- gramme were 29 war brides from England, ScotlandIreland, Nor- way, Calgary, Britssh Columbia Lnd other points across the globe. Each war bride was introduced by her mother-in-law or accom- panying friend and each in turn gave her address and homeland. Newcastle-on-Tyne was one place mentioned that brought applause since several members of the Auxiliary came from that district. A luncheon was served in which a feature was a bride's cake sur- rounded by pink candles and pink streamers. It was cut by Mrs. Hall since it was her wedding anniversary. Contests enlivened the enter- tainment with winners receiving suitable prizes. The apple eating contest, a novelty for several war brides, was won by Mrs. Byron Cryderman. Winners in the hat fashion parade were Mrs. Don McIlveen, Mrs. Roy Connors, Mrs. J. Kennedy and Mrs. Dorcan. Questions and answers fell to Mrs. J. Honeyman and Mrs. Ellison. Guessing contest was won by Mrs. E. Hooper and Mrs. Stobart. Mrs. McDonald received a prize for the longest married and Mrs. Don Allin the shortest length of time. When tables were cleared the remainder of the evening was given over to dancing which in- cluded many husbands who call- ed to escort their wives home. The Ôccasion was voted one of the most entertaining and hos- pitible of the season. 1 eý Accident on Highway Shook Bus, Passengers A highway accident involving a Collacutt Coach Line bus and a private car ocurred near Kurv- Inn early Monday evening. The coach, going east on regular schedule around 8 p.m., according te police, turned out to pass the slow moving car and skidded on the wet pavement. It bumped in- te the rear of the car and swerved te the ditch, shaking up some of the passengei's before being right- ed. Constable Gordon Broughton, Investigated, . accompanied by Chief S. Venton, Bowmanville. It appears that little material damage resulted and traffic was cleared immediately. Attention is agaîn drawn te this dangereus curve, particularly in wet weath- er. It is anticipated neo action will be taken in the case. Duck Season Opens1 Birds Don't Cooperatel The bang-bang heard early Wednesday momning was net due to trucks backfiring along the highway but real shooting by lo- cal nimrods around the marsh leading to the lake. It marked the open season on wild ducks. Even before daylight, many were con- cealed in blinds among bulmrushes waiting for early flights. It was cold waiting. But the few feathered water- fowl flew high, fast and wary. According to an observer there appeared to be more huntsmen than hunted. The total bag was lights. A few got a brace or two, some clipped hell-divers. Promin- ent among the gunners were members of the Goodyear Rod & Gun Club, the professional ele- ment. License issuer Ab Darch re- ports more permits than for some years and hardware men have done a brisk trade in shelis. Over 150 licenses have been issued s f ar. Police were on the alert in case of accidents and Chief Sid- ney Venton, up at dawn, reported nothing unusual save annoyance o! nearby residents . at heing wakened tee soon. -lac- 1 ei ti C( b: C( b A gi 9 E m a b p 9 s a r s "Durham County's Great Family Journal" ALi rTT uiCIM P, R.«n V-SETE BE 2 Geeks are Resolute Realists Struggle for Independeuce ýProf. Thoiupson Telis Story Expert Local Workmen Complete Statesman' s New Business Offices Visual testimony of the excel- lence with which local contrac- tors and workmen can do a job can be seen in the new offices of The Statesman. An over-all con- tract was not entertained nor were individual tenders called for. The men selected for the various jobs were personally known as well as their general workman- ship. The six firms that made the general alterations, while work- ing separately, combined to fin- ish their work almost simultan- eously. Thedcarpentry work was per- formed by Bothwell and Sons o! Maple Grove, who, assisted hy Sheppard & Gill Lumber Ce. ani Oshawa Wood Products Ltd.,- were able te dig up scarce materials and were really fast, efficient workers.rFlooring was laid by Bromley and Son, Bowmanville, who proved experts in laying the tile in beautiful patterns. Com- plete wiring, including fluorescent lighting fell to Higgon Electric, Bowmanville, with Claude Kilmer and Ross Atkinson being respon- sible feo the first part of the task and Bill Slaght compieting the layout including an inter-office buzzer system. Painting and decorating was excellently done by J. H. Aber- nethy and Son, Bowmanville. The new furmniture came from Morris Ce. Finaliy, manager Frank Wil- liams o! the Bell Telephone Ce. with a helper, changed over the telephone lunes in less than hals a day. He instailed desk phones in each private office which per- mits outside callsunder the same number, 663, as well as inter-of- fie communication connected up with the buzzer system. Davis and Grant, assisted by Jack Brough, made alterations ir roofing which had been gone over the previous year by an outside contractor. Comfort, convenience and speed are the sum totals of these "combined operations" and Lwe can do ne less than give de- served credit and thanks to the men who have completed a highl ;satisfactery job. Ail that is le!t te complete the improvements is some changin around in the mechanical depart meut and the installation of thE new heating system which Ler Elliott promises to have in opera tion before snow flies. The plastering and other mas on work was done by Cecil Mut ton who deserves a real bow fo his part in the renovation.

The editor of The Statesman, who a few years ago delivered an address before the Ad and Sales Club, Toronto, that was later in- corporated into a booklet, "Coun- try Boys Make Good in Big City" is pleased to add one more name to the galaxy of Durham County boys who have attained high suc- cess since leaving farms and vil- lages hereabouts. We are grateful to Liberty Mag- azine, October 5th, 1946, for bring- ing to our attention the name o Ernest Leslie Bushnell, Director- General o! Programmes, Canad- ian Broadcasting Corporation. His story is toid by feature writer Max Braithwaite, in Libemty's popular biographical page, "Lib- erty Profile." It came as a surprise to learn that MVr. Bushnell was hem ir Durham County, on the samE farm where his father was als born.

Both teams were scoreless for he first two frames but in the hird inning Gilhooley made first on an error and stole second. Baldy Hoar, the next batter, hit a beautiful two-bagger to lef t field to bring in Gilhooley and then stole third and home to bring in the second run of the game. Ferguson was the only scorer when he made first on a walk, stole second and was knocked around the circuit by Rundle and Clemence. Stouffville was still scoreless at this stage of the hard fought game. Gilhooley and Strike scored in the fifth for the locals while Jew- ett and Shpilman brought in the first tallies for the Stouffville aggregation. Dadson made the final score for Bowmanville when he walked in the six, stole second and was knocked home by Hoop- er.

IN u ivi D ri n a LY 1 1 1 1 1 1 A 10 months old young lady, MIiss Judith Brough, daughter of :r. and Mrs. JacktBrough, King Street, was one o! the radio win- iers of the Bowmanville Memor- al Park Carnival last night. The econd set went to NickhMerza, 4T8 GarnetrSt.,. St. Catherines. Tickets were drawn by Rotary President J. F. Heyland and Lions President Ross Stevens. The event itself was somewhat Iisappointing. It began with a softball game between Port Hope Legion and Bowmanville Legion with the local team failing to put n an appearance. After waiting aor thebetter part of an hour pick-up team took on the visit- ors and played until darkness with no winner being announced. The second portion o! the Carn- ival, which was staged, to maise funds for the improvement o! the park, started well with a large crowd present but the cool winds began about 9.30 and it was just too cold for thempeople t enjoy themselves so many went home. The park proved an ideal spot for the carnival, giving al the space required for over 15 booths grouped in a circle with a !ew more in the centre. For the first time this year all local service clubs plus the Legion joined forces to put over arcarnival. They all certainly womked hard because the money was not roll- ing too easily and the barkers were soon hoarse from trying to attract people to their booths to play the games. Several booths wee sold out early, while some had consider- able merchandise remaining on the shelves when the show folded up its tents around 10.30 and the draw was held for the radios. No details of proceeds are available, but it is estimated that several hundred dollars will be realized to carry on the work of bettering the park. Considerable credit must be given to the CiviciCommittee o! the Town Council and to Sid Little who managed the Faim. This is the same group which ran the 24th of May Vets Day. - 1 Local Pick-ups Defeat Port Hope Legion 4-2 Announced over the radio as a feature challenge softball game as an opener for the Memorial Park Carnival, Wednesday, Port Hope Legion was billed te meet Bowmanville Legion on the park diamond.
