BUHUlS.creech Owl"i GREGORY FRIEND. Editor jBaek to Schooi Bowmanville's Secondary Edu- cation Centre once more opened its doors to the student queues on Monday. Eager crowcîs again swarmed the well-known halls and classroorns as school life with ahl its joys and troubles opened for the final and deciding term. Except for students stili play- ing on town teams, sport activi- ties were at a standstill. The \~. Bantarns, Eastern Ontario O.B.A. and C.O.S.S.A. champions went down to Orillia 32-19, but Arthur Buckspan, Hank Tamblyn, Dunc Phillips, Tom DeGeer and Bill Rundle still play on the Junior O.B.A. teamn which is locked with Napance in a battle for the Eas- tern Ontario titie. For the coming term, Cadet Training, softball and track and field will camonîse just about ahl la the line of sport and exercise. The examinations for officers' po- sitions in the Corps will begin again as fifth formers, who held most off the responsible posts as officers and sergeants ast year, will flot participate this year. Some after-vacation signs were in evidence. The odd sunburn, (don't ask where they got it), the new striped sweaters the girls are weaning, zebra style, absen- tees from too many Easter eggs and o! course, exam returns. But it's great to be back. Bantams End Successful Season No excuses were offered by Coach Witherspoon and the play- ers on their defeat by Oillia on March 27 as B.H.S. led 9-2 after the first quarter and were down only two points at haîf time, but the bigger and fresher Orillia team broke loose after that. Play- ing on a strange floor and flot poFsessing substitute stnength to any great depth the Bantams did very well against a tearn that later succumbed to a superior To- ronto Y.M.H.A. squacl. Much praise goes to the young B.H.S.- ýer whn should form the nucleus for further Junior and Seriior teams. Scoring was divided be- tween Stutt (4), Piper (2), Chant (2), Allun (5), Davey (5). Line- up-C., Stutt; r.f., Davey; M.., Chant; r.g., Allun; l.g., Taylor; subs. Piper, Maguire, White.

D.f.rr.d Pymoft Ghudly Aromgd THE RADIO SHOP Phone 573 BO WMAN V verse speaking contest, held in March. The Ontario finals were held at the Royal Ontario Mu- seum Theatre, with lyric selec- tions in the morning and drama- tic ones in the afternoon. B.H.S. representatives for the lyric group were Mary Alldread,, who recited "Dover Beach" by' Mathew Arnold, a poem of exqu- isite and harmonious choice of words, and Judith Stenger, who1 recited "The Congo" by Vachel Lindsay. This poem reflected the savagery o! the natives of the Congo. In the afternoon Muriel Stev- ens and Glenn Brooks recited in the dramatic group. Muriel's choice was "Leetle Bateese" by Drurnmond, which gives an ex- cellent description of French- Canadian life. Glenn's selection was "The Creation" by Johnson, which is rendered veny effective by the simplicity of its words, in explainîng how He created the world. Editor's Note - And now the final statement must be added. B. H.S. was flot represented arnong the winners. The most able of our recitalists went to Toronto, so that B.H.S. sent those most qualified to do their best there. Since ;t was the fîrst tîme that anyone f rom this town had cver cornpeted in the annual event we hope that the expenience gained will serve as an incentive for B. H.S. groups in the coming years. Out of the Past But Stili Groping Fighting Communism The Liberal News off Apnîl, 194 8, which is largely devoted to eulogy off Prime Mifnister King and the prospects to be faced at the great Liberal convention to be held in Ottawa, August 5-7, in choosing a new leader, contains a facsimile cut off page one off The Globe on Friday, August 8, 1919. The feature story, written by the late Harry M. Anderson, descnib- es the balloting which resulted on that day in elevating Mackenzie King to the national leadership of the party. Corne August 8, 1948 and Mr. King will have cornpleted 29 years at the head of bis panty and a tenure as Prime Minister longer than any other head of governrnent in the history off the British Empire. Readers who looked over the' cut of this old page of The Globe probably saw another headlined story, two columns rcrnoved frorn the picture of Mn. King. Hcadcd, "Soviet Plot is Unearthed," and it went on to state: 'Conspiracy to fornent revolutionary movement in Bitain, nipped; Red agency bings morley ,etc." The careful observer probabhy paused to note the panallel in this space of 29 years between the regirne of Mr. King and the Soviet hierarchy. la each case there is opportunity for studying the comparison of lead- ership. We obsenved la a previaus edi- tonial how the dominant, one- track policy off the Cornrunists ta ensiave tjic world bad neyer faltered for a moment since they seizeci power in Russia. On the other hand wc have ffollowed an in-and-out series off alarms and scares, none off which greatly ag- itated the public mi. The latest off these alarrns came frorn Mn. King last week, when he spoke on the comrnunist menace in Wil- liamsburg, Virginia, where he ne- ceived an honorary degree. But it followed the adjourniment off the House of Commons by John Bnackcn, leader off the Progres- sive Conservative Party, two weeks previously, to debate this very question. From tirne to time The States- man bas commented on the weak- ness off demnocratic leaders in dealing with this menace to the freedom .off the people they pro- fess to lead. Sporadic outbursts are simply not good enough to meet this resolute and progres- sive campaiga off the Soviet. In our opinion, Brackea has enunci- ated the sound policy to follow. That is to maintain a continuing public awareness off the situation and at the sarne tirne to sa strengthen our gavernrnent that the enterprise of our people may create a standard of living that will wholly deffeat the communist penetration. WHAT ONE PACKAGE 0F SEED HAS DONE Les than 30 years ago, a medi- cal missionary, tir. Ralph Milîs, sent a package of lespedeza seed from Korea to the US. Depart- ment of Agriculture. Department specialists planted the seed at the Expeimental Farm across the Potomac River from Washington. In a couple of years, they had enough seed for trial plantings at sevIeral State ex- periment stations. They found that in the East Central and near- by States the new crop made good hay and pasture on poor, slightly acid soils unfit for such crops as red dloyen and alfalfa. Ail in ahl they figure they spent about $75,- 000 finding out where and how to grow the Korean lespedeza the missionary sent them, but the U. S. crop of Korean lespedeza is now valued at over $200,000,000 a year. MOVUNG WESTI m. RawlinsofI Linted regularly make up and chip Household Furniture. Cn- solldated Pool Cars to Manitoba.

On Fni- day night they meet Walt Polley's team for the championship. The winning team will receive en- graved trophies as Bush League 'Champions off 1947-48. Getting back to actual happen- ings, Waht Polley's team gained a bye into the finals whcn thcy finished on top off the hcap at the cnd of the scheduhe. Courtice finished ln the cellar and thus they wcrc not ia the playoffs. The other four tean-s-Noble, B.T.S., Woolner and Mitchell - clashcd on Friday night and the results wcre sornewhat surpnising. On 3 and 4 alleys, Ncble, with only a four man tearn, met and defeated the B.T.S. team. Norrn Cowle and Percy Wcrry wcre the big guns for Noble's teamn. BT.S. had hardly anything on the bal but Johnny Grahamn, who turned in the best effort o! the bunch. Thus Noble won two games ta anc. There was plenty of action and plcnty off noise as Woohner and Mitchell met on 5 and 6 alîcys. The first game went to Woolncr's and he appeared to have things well in hand but things happened and Bob Mitchell's tearn got cracking and won the next two garnes and eliminated Woolncr by two games ta anc. Dill Langly and Bill Polley were best for Mit- chells team, while Porky Os- borne and Frank Samis were the pick af the Waolner team. Tbe two winners wcre schcdul- cd ta bowl off that same cvening but too many were tired. and be- sides Newcastle is only fix'e miles east. Sa with two good reasons the two captains, Noble and Mit- chell got together and decidcd ta meet at -2:30 on Saturday after- noon. Thcy did and Nobhe's team was hot and at full strength, while Mitchell had only four men. It was soon ah aoven with Noble win- ning two straighit games ta ad- vance into the finals against Pol- ley on Friday night. Bob Noble led the way himschf with two nicc games off 255 and 261. It was strictly an off day for ahi off Mit- chchl's boys. The finalsý on Friday nigbt should be a battle royal with twa good ,evenly matched tcarns. On Friday evening, April 23, the Bush League banquet will be beld at the Carter Farnily Tea Roorn at 7 p.rn. The following were prize win- ners la the Bush League: Bob Gallaghcr, high single; Bob Gall- agher, high triple, Bob Galhaghcr, bigh average, receiving $5,00 each.
