Feb. 29. For the first time in 28 years Leap Year Day fell on a Friday, and for the first time in history Rotary Annes woman-handled the service club meeting. And they turned in a superlative job Mrs. Roberta Higgon became 'President for a Day," Friday, and at one point in her brief ten- ure of office dedicated the song, "it's So Nice To Have a Man Around The House," to her absent husband and other Rotarians. Neyer before has the beli-like gong been struck so hard or so often by a president: neyer have Rotarians paid such close atten- tion to, proceedings. "I'm flot go- ing to let Rotarians down with a lack of cigar smoke that usually cornes fromn the head table," acting President Roberta said, re- ferring to her husband's cigar- smoking habit. She lit a cigar and blue smoke came, as usual, from the head table. Rotary Amies Act In the fines department, 5cr- geant-at-Arms Bill Lycett is a piker compared to his wife, Lois, Who took over the chore for the day. Mrs. Mary Morrison re- placed husband Dave at the piano when Mrs. Hilda Jackson, with rolling pin in hand, took over sing song leadership from e husand, Keith. Mrs. Laura ob son acted as secretary in place o! her husband, O. F. Robson. Feature o! the happy Leap Ycar Day Rotary meeting, how- ever. was a panel o! four distaff speakers introduced by Mrs. Mos- sie Heylaud. Friday was Ladies' Day, according to Mrs. Heyland, who said: "We have four out- standing speakers-mere women, o! course-but they're here and you're going ta listen ta them." The speakers were: Mrs. Anna- belle Rickard, Mrs. Gladys Dale, Mrs. Jean Vanstone and Mrs. Evangeline Rundie. The Rotary speakers appeared particularly accompiished. Thev spoke mainly on subjects close ta their hearts which usually con- cerned the super-importance of women. However, their respect- ive addresses were novel, hum- orous and decidedly entertainin,,. Hold Speeches Over Unfortunately, due to a short age of space in this issue, the verbat- im addresses delivered by the four Rotary Annes xvilot ap- pear until next week. As a "fininig" point o! the pro- gram, it might be noted here that Acting President Roberta fined ail those Rotarians who failed ta bring their wives ta the gala Rot- ary Ladies' Night held at the Training School, recently. Rotarian Tom Palmer received a spoon on his birthday._ iNjdnight Fire Causes Damage '~Pool Boom and Shoe Repair Shop Fire early Tuesday morning caused extensive damage to Neat- way Shoe Repair, operated by Marvin Compeau, and Wm. Braunstein's Billiard Hall at 73 King St. East. Local firemen are crLdited with limiting the blaze. ~e alarm was turned in irom tNA'-Blmoral Hotel at 1:50 a.m. Within five minutes firemen were en the scene. Smoke barred their entrance to the building. how- ever, and liremen were forced to break several windows in ord- er to train their hoses on the root of the lire. It is believed an oul stove in the shbe repair shop caused the blaze. The building is owned by Wm. Braunstein who bought out Stan Goodaîl in February, 1951. Clar.v King lormerly owned the pool hall. Harry Sutton of Sutton's Barb- er Shop who lives xith his wife in a second floor apartmenit im- mediately east of' the pool hall turned in the alarm. Mrs. Sui - ton smelled smoke when she came home late from Iodge and asked her husband to investigatc. Smoke Damage Mrs. J. W. Knight also has an apartment next ta the pool room. Both apartments were invaded by smoke and as yet unestim- ated amount of smoke damage was donc. Late Tuesday morning thD scene of the lire was a mess. Shoes waiting to be repaired lined several shelves in the shoemakers shop; they will neyer ho xvorn again. Many pairs of skates were also destroyed. Haîf the wooden ceiling feli iii and the reniaining haîf was char- red to the point that it looked as if it would flu any minute. Ap- parently the fire spread along the cdiling through to the pool room in back. Damage To Pool Hall Five billiard tables will have to be recovered as a result of the lire. The ceiling is charred the length of the long narrow pool room. Considerable damage was caused by water which covered the floor in inches. Fire Chie! Hooper told The Statesman four uines of hose were used on the blaze. Two hoses were run off the hydrant in front of the Badminton Hall; one hose was attached to the hYdrant ini front o! the Express Office, and a fourth hose from the pumo3- er truck was taken into the build- ing as soon as entrance was pos- sible. The Fire Brigade had the lire out and left the scene about 3 a.m. Reports Fire Originally, a person trying to give the alarm telephoned Chief Hooper's home and said: -There's 'a lire in the pool hall." That's ail that was said. Even though a lire is serious business there are some people hi this world who think telephon- ing an alarn-i is a joke. Theie are only two ways to turn ini an alarm in Bowmanville and that is to pull the toggle in an alarm box or dial 3300.

In the afternoon, every seat was taken as women froni ail Protestant churches joined to- gether to pray for a better world; the evening service was also well attended. "Christ, Or Hope" xvas the theme of these services through- out the many countries of the world where they were held. Mrs. Senior Major John C. Wood of the Salvation Army,. St. John's, Newfoundland, said in her ad- dress that tis theme is appropri- ate today, for Christ is the hope of the world, of the nations, and of the individual. We look today on a hopeles worlci, full of frustration and fear and the great minds of the world are baffled in seeking a solution. Why should this be, the speaker asked, when such advances have been made in science and educa- tion? It would seern that while advancing materially, man has declined spiritually. putting his whole trust in his own inventions. 'How can we help to change this picture?" asked Mrs. Wood. As women, we can put God first in our lives, in our homes, and then carry our Christian ideals to the world, she said. Christ is our hope in Salvation, in the security of the nations, and through ser- vice. Mrs. Wood said. Most great civilizations have fallen through dom-estic corruption. When we return to the high ideals of our forefathers, ai-d put our faith and hope in Christ, there will be hope for the future of the world, Mrs. Wood said in conclusion. Mrs. Wood was introduced byi Mrs. Capt. W. E. Deering, who1 also welcomed the large attend- ance o! ladies. Following a print- ed form o! service, representa- tives lrom ail Protestant church- es in town took part, with the ex- ception o! Mrs. H.
