He also holds the remarkable record of coaching the 21 consecutive successful teams. The first twenty boys receîved cash pnizes and the high boys in each class two bushels of regis- tered grain. The winning teamn was not eligible for these grain prizes as each had already been awarded a similar grain prize. Incidentally, Gerald Brown made a perfect score of 100 on weeds.

Legion Wants Names 0f Ail Durham Boys In Armed Services Do you have a relative in the armed services in Canada or one presently engaged in fighting Communists in Ko:. rea? The local branch of the Canadian Legion ls anxious to obtain the naines of sol- diers, sailors and airnien from this district who have joined any of the three ser- vices. lit is believed the Le- gion wishes to contact these fighting men from Durham County and probably afford them certain comforts. If you have a brother, son or husband in the forces, do themn a favor and give the Legion their name. Address aIl letters to "Servicemen, c/o The Canadian States- man, Bowmanville."» Durham Youths Win Top Honours At Kemptville Two Durham County boys at- tending Kemptville Agriculturai Schooi made excellent showings in the annual Royal Show. Bey. Gray of Port Hope, won the field husbandry award to become grand champion showman, while Murray Lord of Campbellcroft won the reserve award in field husbandry. Both boys are in their second year at Kemptville, and both are attending schooi on a McLean Scholarship. They were awarded the scholarships for their activity in Junior Farm Club work. Murray Lord, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Lord, acted as presi- dent of the 22nd annual Royal Show presented at Kemptviile. He is also president of the Dur- ham Junior Farmers. Bey. Gray is son of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Gray, Port Hope. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Simpson, Oshawa, visited Mr. and Mrs. Ar- thur Dunn. At the annual meeting of Bow- manville Hospital Board Presi- dent Mel Dale reported satisfac- tory progress was being made in the erection of the new 50-bed 1Memorial Hospital which is lo- cated on the present hospital property facing Liberty -Street. It is expected the building will be ready for the officiai opening flot later than June. Ray Dilling, Secretary-Treas- urer, in presenting the financial statement of the new hospitai showed that at least $50,000 more xvili be required to complete the construction and purchase th-, necessary hospital equipment and furnishings. It was shown that instead of the projeet costing $200,000 whien it was first discussed by the Board in 1947, it is now estimated the cost will be at least $400,000. This is flot due to changing the origin- al plans but on account of in- creased cost in materials, labor and other construction require- ments-in other words inflation. The figures prc iited at the annual meeting shi ed that con- tracts had already been let and under construction in the build- ing fund amounting to $389,410.67. It is estimated an additional $ 10,- 000 will be required for other materials and equipment. Receipts include $102,666.66 from the Federal and Provincial Governments, $100,000 debenture from. the Town of Bowmanville, grants of $15,000 from. Darling- ton, $8,000 from Clarke and $3,000 from Newcastle. The balance is made up of individual and comp- any donations ranging from $15,- 000 down to $1.00. This is satisfactory as far as it goes, but it is hoped that the $50,000 required to meet the ob- jective will be forthcoming be- fore the officiai opening date. A number of the canvasses in town and country are incomplete. Many people have therefore not contributed to this most worthy cause. In looking, ovcr the list of donations it would appear many have only made token subscrip- tions who could well afford tu give much larger amounts. It is hoped that wheti these people sce how great theineed is to reach the objective the urge will corne for them to sit down and write out another cheque that will really make them feel proud of their generous contribution. Don't wa-:t for a canvasser to cail. Send your cheque in today made out tro the "Bowmanville Hospital Fund" and mail to Ray Dilling, Sec'y- Treas. Bowmanville. It is interesting to note that of the thousands of dollars ai- ready subscrîbed there is less than $100 of unpaid pledges, which speaks weli for the people of Durham County. Annual Report Shows Services Rendered by Women's Hospital Aux. The Women's Hospital Auxili- ary spent $3,339.40 in their hospi- tai work during 1950 and had to draw upon previously earned money to boîster their $2,845.07 revenue to balance their accounts, according to a report presented to the annual meeting of the Bowmanvîlle Hospital Board by Mrs. T.

Story of the News Behind the News As Pro duced hy a Wirephoto bMachine Readers have often seen the word "wirephoto" under a picture in the daily papers and no doubt wondered how in the world a photo is taken over a telephone, miles away, and reproduced in the newspaper sa quickly. Sure you have, and so have we. Well, that curiosity was satis- fied Saturday morning right ln The Statesman office, too. Nu, this paper hasn't installed such expensive equipment for its news service. It happened this way. Right out of the blue a flock (three to be exact) of news hawks fromn the Toronto Tele- gram rushed into our quiet sanc- tum. After identifying them- selves and explaining their mis- sion was to take photos of the parties involved in the tragic, fatal motor accident at Van- stone's hilI, they asked if they could set up their wirephoto equipment. Consent was gladly given, first to render a service to a fellow publisher, and secondly, to see how this wirephoto con- traption works. Off goes the reporter to get de- tails of the accident, while the photographer accompanies hlm to snap photos of pa"ies irWoived, also the wrecked auto and truck. Technician Leonard Piumb in the meantime set up his equip- ment in the office tQ make the telephone connections with his office in Toronto, got his develop- ing solutions in the proper re- ceptacles and set up an cmergency darkroom, which in this case was the toilet room. Better explain here that the wirephoto equipment is broken up into five pieces: the transmit- (Continued on Page Six) Statesman Staff Watch Wirephoto Machine In another column is a story of how the Toronto Telegram staff set up a wire- photo machine in the Statesman office Saturday morning to send photos by telephone of the fatal motor accident to their Toronto office.
