FOR DAKERY AND RESTAURANT OnIy the Bes, QUALITY AND SERVICE Phone 855 Annual Rotary Ladies' Righi Social Event of the Season Harold Gully Guesi Speaker Fniday night, April 9, 1948, will go down in local Rotary Club bis- tory as the crowning achievement of many years effort te make the club's annual Ladies' Nigbt the outstanding social event cf the cemmunity. The setting. the ban- quet, the prcgram, arranged for the Rotary Anns and many spe- cial guests from eut cf town, left ncthing to be desired in general enjcyment fromn 7 p.m. when din- ner was served until 2 a.m., when Auld Lang Syne concluded the dancing. There wcre se many brilliant features cf the occasion that the neutral press representa- tive is obligcd to report the affair under tbrce separate headlines. Accordingly. this leading story attempts te describe the setting and program as preliminary to the introduction of the guest speaker and bis following philos- ophical discourse. Elscwbere will be found the pungently told bio- graphy of Harold Gully as scen by Rotarian John M. James, and as well, an inadequate summary cf the address of Mr. Guliy, a na- tive son, wbo was invited home !o take the spotlight on the pro- gramn. It was with much price that president Mel Dale cxtended a sIncene welcome to the ladies and other guests in the gather- '19. Through the good offices of Ro- tarian Jack Eastaugh, Superinten- cuent, Bowmanville Boys' Training School, he secured the consent of Hon. G. H. Dunbar te bold the dîinner and dance in the grand auditorium of the administration building at the scbool. The sump- tueus banquet prepared by the culinary staff at the BT.S. xas served by a vcry alert and compe- tent corps of students in spot- iessly wbite uniforms. Tbe:r faultless courtesies in serving and manly deportment brougbt imany favor able comments as jhey moIV- ed about pressing extra belpings upon the diners. Splendid Setting The decorations about the walls iincludcd an array cf national fiags and Rotary wbeels. Bright ycllow daffodils adortied each ta- ble. They were the gift of At- kins' F'oxvcr Sbop and xvere 'lown in from VancouIVer. 01n each table were favors foi' eacb ý,edy in the form cf glass rose bowls centaining a rose and col- ored ornaments, te be taken homne as mementos cf the occasion. New Look gowns and expensive coif- fures alternated with staid bus- iness suits and the old soup-and- fish, wbich niay bave recalled Bx-, rcn's lines at the Brussels hall- -oft ligbts shone on fair women- etc. Guests at the head table in- cludcd.

Toronto, Miss Jean McGill and Mrs. Fleming, Osh- awa. The names of other guesîs at individuai tables escaped the reporter when rapid introductions were made. Toasts and Addresses Short adrîresses wcre made by Superintendent Eastaugb, -uwho with bis staff and. students re- ceix'ed applause foi' the arrange- ments made for the gathering. Mn. Virgin, former Bowmranville Rotarian and now Director of Re- fenm Institutions, told of tbe ce- operation cf the Miniîier in se- curing the auditorium for ladies* nigbt and conxmended the Rotar * Club fori' is enilargect iiembei'sliir, and active work in youtb and cnippled childnen service. Past President Dave Morrison proposed the toast "To the kadies" :n cloquent terms whicb tnaced tl'eir influence from the cradie te a niche in adult human affairs iittle appreciated by ordinary man. His extemporary oratory brought an equally ciever re- sponse from Mrs. Mel Dale wbo with unrehearscd fluency proved henscîf a very capable speaker as she expressed the thanks of the Rotary Anns. TI'leir contributions xx'ere xvorthy* c f a separate col- umn xvbicb xwe forego in this re- port. Beautiful Music ,Wecard xvith profound attention anrd grected wîth intense applause were the beautiful soprano solos centributed by Miss Jean McGill wh'o was accompanied by Mrs. Fleming. Encores cf popular numbers and light opera express- cd the v'ersatile talent of these Osbawai artists. Community sing- ing xvas led by John James with Dave Morrison at the piano. Since the introduîction cf the guest speaker and bis address are reported scparatel ' . this report concludes with tîle vote of tbanks to Mr. CullY, the guest artists, Mliss McGill and Mrs. Fleming and the officiais of the scbool ail of xvbicb were.exprcssed with in- imitable phrasing by Rotanian Lou Dippell. Then the tables xvcre clcared for tbe dancing to the veryv excecllent accompaniment of muisic by Roy Forrester and bis or'chcstra of Orono. It was i.n- deed a gr'and occasion.
