An appreci- ativé audience f illed the High School auditorium ta enjay their delightful program. The Quartette, four boys from the Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate Institute and Vocational School, played their instruments well wîth tonal quality pleasing to the ear. If was the first time in this season's concerts, thaf brass instruments had been included. These boys were a great credif f0 their school and training. Stanley Bowman, violinisf, 19- year-old student at Waterloo Col- lege, skilfully created melodies through hi§ violin. Many of his numbers were well-known selec- tions that people are ever eager ta hear again. Stanley played four times in ail during the pro- gram, each time displaying his grtistry and putting ail the feel- ing and emotian ino the music. He plays in the Kitchener-Water- loo Symphony orchestra and has done chamber music work bath in Kitchener and in London. James Underwood, a member of the quartette, began by giv- ing a brief history of his euphon- îum. This instrument which bas a high shine, is fairly deep sound- ing. He played "Beautiful Col- orado" by DeLuca, in waltz time. The notes. were well played and clear, and the sympathetic ac- companiment added much ta his performance. Miss Ada Eby, accompanist for the boys, showed her ability was equally good when salaing. Of- ficiai accampanist at the Kitch- ener-Waterlao Coilegiate, she is alsa a private music teacher. Her first number was the ever-papu- lar Minuet in G by Paderewiski, which she played flawlessly. It was a delight ta listen ta her.

Local Cons table Asleep at the Wheel Smashes Gas Pumps Believed ta have fallen asleep af the wheel about 3 a.m., Thuns- day, Constable Lloyd Ayres of the Bowmanvilie Police Force, was the lone occupant of the police car which hit and severed twa gas pumps fnom their cernent base before Edwards' Garage, King St., jEasf; damaged the leff rear of Mr. Edwards' car and came ta a stop affer hifting the corner of fthe Edwards' brick home. The farce wif h which the car struck the house "shook the bed," according ta Mr. Edwards. Damage caused is estimated at $2180, taking ino consideration S500 each for the ruined pumps, $580 damage ta Mr. Edwards' car, aWd approximately $600 damage ta the police prawler. Constable Ayres joined the Bowmanville Police Force August 3, 1950. If is believed that the Ayres- dniven prowler, proceeding east on King St., jumped the sidewalk west of the garage with the left set of wheehs holding the car in a sfraight course when they came in contact with the curbîng. Reaching the Edward's garage in this manner, the prawler evident- ly turned right automatically when the curbing ended at the garage enfrance with the resuhf that the car hif the pumps and drove them east.

New Public School Board Elects Wd. G. James Chairman At First Meeting Wednesday At the inaugural meeting of the newhy formed Bowmanvihle Pub- lic School Board last Wednesday. William G. James was elected chairman for 1951. Town Clerk Alex Lyle formally apened the meeting and held the election for chairman. Mrs. Wm. Clarke was alsa naminated for the position but declined in favour of Mr. James. Bill James On assuming the chair Mr. James thanked the Board for the honor conferred on him and stat- ed that he hoped that he could do a good job in the coming year. He mentioned that he had only been on the former Board of Ed- ucation for a year, which was scarcely time enough ta under- stand ahi the details, 'but with the ca-aperation of ahI the members he thought that the new board wauhd soon be a smaoth running organizatian. As aIl the members of the board were newly elected this year, and ail by acclamation, it was necessary ta determine who would act for a year and who for twa year terms. Lots were drawn with the following results: twa years, Mrs. W. Clarke, H. Jeffery and W. Lycett; one year, B. Kitson, K. Jackson and W. James. Stuart R. James was en- gaged as Secretary-Treasurer. The election of next year's board was discussed and the Secretary is ta check with the Town Solicitor ta see if the board can continue ta be elected by wards, rather than from the tawn as a whohe. If is expected that the election will be held at the same time as the election for town council. Mrs. Clarke and W.

Human Interest Events Oulined In Musical Career of Ray Dudley Most people in this communify know or have read about Ray Dudley, A.T.C.M.. L.R.C.T., tai- ented 19-year-ohd pianist who has won much acclaim for his bnilhiant mastery of the keyboard, and many have fohhowed his career with interest. Ray's nexf achieve- ment wilh be his forthcoming re- citai under the auspices of the Women's Hospital Auxiliary. He wilh be assisfed by Miss Olive Rankine, dramafic soprano. Ray is a native of Bowmanville, bonn here in 1931, son of Mrs. j Reta Dudley. He spent most ofl his schooh years here until music fook him f0 Toronto. Since hoe began taking lessons, music husi always ocupied top interest in his lite, athough he didn't allowv other thîngs such as sparts, paint- ing and sfamp-collecting ta take a back seat. He started piano lessons at the age of eight, and under his mother's capable guid- ance saihed alang quic kly trying twa exams a year instead of the customary one, always passing, wifh high marks.

He has anothen yca.' and a haîf before he finishes,' and after that he hopes ta study eitii- er in the United States or France. Ray has done a good deal of concert work, and probabhy his greatest thnîhl was playin'g the Faust Waltz for Barbara Ann Scott in her first appearance ut the Ice Fallies in Oshawa and more aecently the concert in 1 Times Square Hall in New York City in December. where he was the hit of the concert, being the only artist requcsted fa give an encore.
