t41En11T4 '"Durham County'ýs (>eat Family Journal" BOWMANVIILLE, ONTARIO,. THLTRSDAY, JANUARY 4th, 1951 6c PER COPY -NU-MBER 1 Ray Dudloy's Piano Co ncert and New Yearxt lernufrnut reniva WeýklY Rotary Cli ..~oen-tpped upright in the oomfaithe Balmoral Hote isafa cry from the con. cert arando the stage of New~ 'York City's irnes Hall, but witli talented -Ray Dudley at the key board even an upright can per- form near miracle. As previousiy reported, Newv 'York cancert-goers lauded the accomplistied Bowmanville boy foiiowig.his guest appearance at Times Hall, Decemnber 9th. How- ever, no aÏudience could appear more rapt orý become more inter- ested in the béauty of the Chopin compositions emnanated from any Piano at the wîll ofthe taiented embyoicmaster than avîd bomeownadherents to his car- eer. At the piano lor a much too briéf period at the Rotary lun- cheon Friday, Mr. Dudley afford- ed club members a probabiy un- vrecedented opportunity of hear- ing an accompiished artist per- formn in bis own bometown. His music was particulariy appreci- ated because, as one Rotarian was heard ta say, "We may not know good music but we cer- tainly know Ray Dudley." Musician Introduced Ray Dudley was introduced ta the Bowmanvilie Rotary Club by John M. James who acclaimed him as "probably the most out- standing pianist ever ta came from this hamlet." He also said that the Friday guest "only prac- tises from 8 ta 12 hours a day." In a sot vaice the tall, slender fingered pianist introduced his first number, Chopin's Prelude in A major, as intended ta "sorta kinda. warm Up." Except for the tick ai the dlock, no sound inter- ruptéd the sonarous flow of notes that issued from the open top of the upright piano. The Prelude, piayed pianissimo at first, crescendoed ta fortissimo and then faded soitly. Following this opening, Mr. Dudley piayed Chcwpin's Etude in * major Op. 25, -No. 3; Etude in * (sharp) minor Op. 10, No. 4; Etude in A (flat) major Op. 10, No. 10; Etude in A minor Op. 25, No. 11, and Impromptu in A (flat). Finaliy, he played the vIep4Iàto Waltz by Liszt. ?e' 4iThe Mephisto Story ~Srer that those uniamiliar wifhtl.atter composition could grasp a". fur- er understaniding ai tbe nt~Ik11it2~ffùté ro gram told a folwigstory. A an naed Faust, accomp- anied by a person who purported to be the devil, entered a smal village inn where loyers were dancing and fiddiers playing. Faust took one look at the inn keeper's daugbter and decided immediately that "she was a girl be would like ta see more ai," according ta Mr. Dudley. The ather chap, the devil wbo accompanied Faust, decided ta help his pal and cast a speil over ail the people in the room. This speli, however. did not make the dancers immobile. They kept dançinjz but they danced out of the inn inta the woods leaving Faust, the girl and the devil in the big roam. Somewhere, a nightingale sang. With the story etcbed firmly in mind. most Ratarians could picture by the music the two men entering the inn; they heard the love song which £i0fts in the middle ai the composition and at thé end they cauld definitely bear the trili ai a nightingaie. President ,iack Eastaugh in tbanking the taiented Rotary guest said, "Ray, ta say you have inspired us ail is putting it mildiy," iuiavau a GUAU& 0 mb meeting He expressed the club's pleasure that Mr. Dudley "took the time ta show us your remarkable abil- ity," and he said everyone in Bowmanville was foilowing bis career with personal interest. The appreciated pragram ar- ranged by Rotarians Art Ribey, Lauis Dippell and Johnny James, had a definitely bumourous side ta it also. The second member ai this trio, referred ta as His Honour, Lau Dippeli, conducted a lighter-flicking contest at each ai the five luncheon tables. The idea bebind this praject it would appear, was mercenary. At table one, Dave Morrison was called upon ta light his lighter. He did an the first try thereby saving himself a fine ai 25 cents. How- ever, aIl those unfortunates who sat at Mr. Morrison's table were made pay a 10 cent fine. Had the lighter not lighted it wauld have been a quarter each. This system oi money raising praceeded with the fines being levied gradually increasing uncil the head table was approached. At table three when Lorne Dor- een was asked for a lighter, he borrowed a package a! cigar- ettes fromn a fellow club mem- ber, Charlie Cawker, removed one and handed the package ta Lou Dippeli. "There," be said, "'that's lighter." Needless ta say, the fine increased. At the head table, bowever, the fine taker became weak at the knees (he had a friend up there) and excused them ai fines after requesting Morley Vanstone ta donate a large 50 cent piece instead. Resolutions Are ToId Fallowing this particular part of the shennanigan program, James called upon several Ro- tarians ta vaîce their New Year's resolution. Walter DeGeer re- solved ta emulate the actions o! Fred Vanstone whose name ap- peared in a character write-up in the Christmas Blue and Gold news foliowed by. "Silence is Golden." Tommy Palmer re- soived not ta make any mqye gold bets with a certain local'ýdoctor, and George James resolved ta go back ta work with the New Year, aiter an enforced vacation ai 6 months. The climax came when Rev. W. P. Rogers gave bis New Year's resolution. £vidently the clergymnap had be4n a.judge in a recent debating contest with tu spèehes bea oshede 'at according ta Mr., Rogers, -is the resalution he bad ta offer. Birthday ilowers were given Mel Dale and Rev. W. P. Rogers and guests were: J. S. Mair, To- ranto. and N. A. Eastaugh, broth- er a! President Jack Eastaugh, Ottawa. Hospital Staf f Christmas Party An EnjoycQble Event The Bowmanville Hospital staff enjoyed their anual Christmas part and turkey dinner at the Nurses' Residence on Wednesday evening, Dec. 20, with about 30 present. There was a well-laden Christmas tree with beautiful decorations. Gifts ta the staff in- cluded two chickens, chocolates, candy, cake, and. plumn pudding framn friends ai the staff. The Hospital Board gave a gift ta each member ai the staff, as did the Women's Hospital Auxiliary. The dinner and gifts were much appreciated and ail mem- bers of the staff tharoughiy en- joyed tbemselves.

Unlike 1949, we bave New Year's babies ta repart at press time, but unlike 1950, we haven't three. First and foremost an the 1951 arrivai schedule, ai course, was a boy and wben he voiced bis first protest at being bundled in blan- kets, he put 7 pounds, 14 ounces inta the bolier. The yaung lad, as yet unnamed, was born at 5 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 3rd, ta Mr. and Mrs. James McCaffery, 78 King Street W., Bowmanvilie. "Wbat bappened ta the female element?" we question. "Late, as usual?" Although na babies put in an early appearance in 1949, tbree were born on New Year's Day, 1950. The first babe was a girl born ta Mr. and Mre. William Saxby, 118 Thomas St., Oshawa; the second, a boy born ta Mr. and Mrs. Murray Tighe, R.R. 3, Bow- manville, and the third and last N'ew Year's Day baby was a daughter barn ta Mr. and Mrs. Wes.

Robbers Walk Off With A & P Store Haif Ton Scif e W hile Bawmanville was cutting capers at New Year's Eve dances and private parties, several un- identi!ied crooks jimmied the rear slide-door at the A & P Store on King Street and walked off with a 1200 pound safe. Although de!inite information as ta the amount o! money lost or the believed method o! escape was nat disclosed, it would appear that the thugs engineering the break-in were well acquainted with the layout. Aiter they jim- mied the receiving door, they ap- parently kicked a hale in the chicken wire partition and from the inside, !orced the padlock on the doar blocking entrance. The A & P safe, usually seen beside the fruit counter on the east wall, was moved, apparently on broomstick rollers, ta the rear ai the store and out into the stockroom. From this point it was evidently maneuvered into a waitinx car or truck. Bowmanville police are inves- tigating the case and further in- formation should be available §bortly.

Fireman Discusses te Sibuabion Regarding Brigade Answering Cails To Ont of Town Fires in Darlinglon To the Editor,- Aiter reading the account, of the fire at the home of William Nemisz, north of Courtice, I find it most amusing, and with the promptness with which the cali was answered after the alarm was turned in, as a member. of the Bowmanville Fire Brigade I iind it most disheartening. There are a few facts regarding out of town fires I would like to draw to the attention of the people living out- side the limits of the town. The Fire Brigade bas no agree- ment with anyone to go to a fire outside the town limits, and only are we able to go with permission of the Mayor. The reason for this, a few years ago the Brigade attended a num- ber of fires out of town for which the town received no compensa- tion, some people ignoring the charges, other denied even cail- ing us. It became so bad that it was passed in council that the truck must flot go out of town unless the person calling would first guarantee payment to the town. Regarding the time of nearly an hour before firemen arrived, I have checked. into the follow- ing items and find, that the Osh- awa Fire Dept. received a cai to the fire at 5:30 p.m. and re- fused to go. After this. Bowman- ville was called and the next 15 Juveniles Play First Hockey Game At Cobourg,_Jan. 5 Bowmanville's No. 2 hockey club, Jack McNulty's Juveniies, skate into action Friday, against Cobourg in the first home andi home series in the local O.M.H.A. league. Other teams in the league are Port Hope and Newcastle. The game wili be piayed in Co- bourg Arena. Between periods at the Jan. 5th game, spectators will be enter- tained with fancy and figure skating as well as other amusing acts. For the information of Bow- manville fans wishing to follow their Juveniles to Cobourg, a bus will leave Garton's Coach Ter- minai at 6:30 p.m. and the return 8:.'iô P.m. minutes was spent trying tg la- cate the Mayor and finally at 5:48 the alarm was turned in wlth a lass oi timne ai 15 minutes or more. The Firemen answered the ai- arm prom-ptiy and were on their way ta the lire in less than four- minutes; aliowing ten minutes travelling time, were at the fire approximately one-4alf haur aiter the Oshawa Fire D#pt. were cail- ed and refused to jo., This arrangement for out o! tawn fires bas and always wi]i be a big beadache toalal parties concerned, as the Mayor is not aiways sitting at the telephane waiting ta give permission ta at- tend a fire out ai tawn. As a matter ai protection for the taxpayers of Bawmanville wha are the ones that do the pay- ing, when one truck is out ai town people living more than 1200 feet from a hydrant or oth- er source of water supply only have the benefit oi a 400 gallon tank of water on the truck leit at home, and would ibe withaut protection a! fire hase, as near]y balf of the hase would be an thetruck out o! town and could quite easily not be available for at least ball an hour. Anather seriaus matter is fire protection for aur industries in which several millions ai dollars are invested, and certainly should at ail times have ail the lire pro- tection the tawn can passibly give them. Without thema Bowman- ville wauld be a ghost tawn. This year the cauncil will spend around $10,500.00, amaunting'je over three milîs an aur taxes, jor fire protection and this daes not include over $6000 more for hyd!- rant rentai.
