PAGE six ff- NO? VERT LIKELY This is one for the books. A week-ago-Sunday members of the Bowmanvile Ministerial Association were asked to an- nounce a meeting of Temperance forces. The drys were starting to orgaruze in order to defeat the wets and maintamn Local Option when the July 16 vote rolis around. One local Minister put the an- nouncemnent in his weekly church bulletin which is circulated through the congregation. "We have been asked to an- nounce," the notice began, "that there will be a mebting of those opposed to a liquor store and warehouse in-the Salvation Army Hall, Thursday at 8:30 p.m." We think most people wouid be opposed to having anything of that nature, even near, let alone in. the Salvation Army Hall. MAPLE LEAF FOREVER The Mapre Leaf Forever, that beautiful song about this wonder- fui Canada of ours, is taught to school chiidren over and over again until it's certain the words are etched in memory frorn here to eternity. The piece has beenl taught for years and years and every mature Canadian knows it-or should know it. But some don't we dis- covered. At the Frîday luncheon of the Rotary Club, song leader Keith Jackson asked the club to sing The Maple Leaf. While the at- tempt was being made, we glanced casually around the room. Every Rotarian in the roorn but one was looking at the words in the song book as he sang. The exception, the man who knew the words by heart as every Canadian should, was Bill Lycett, a former school teacher. AMATEUR LEXICOGRAPHER A nine-year-old Central Public Scbool laddie had news of a class baîl garne for bis mother when he arrived home for lunceh one day last week. He had bee»~ picked captain of one side. The teacher had allow- ed each captain to choose first a boy and then a girl to make the , sides even. This the boy told bis mother. But as be recited the little tale 1the young captain appeared a littie down-hearted. He said be couldn't bave the feliow on bis team that he reaily wanted. "Why?" asked the mother. "He was borne sick with an illustrated tooth," camne tbe reply. KITTENS ON THEDUMP Last week Ralph Clarke !aund three kittens, eyes barely open and certainiy iess than two weeks old, crawling around the Town Dump. Sorneone frorn the Jack- man's Road area had left the kittens there apparently to be eaten by rats. The boy took the tbree furry little tbings to bis class at school where he gave tbern to a iittle girl whose cat bad just bad kit- tens and who could nurse the three !ondlings. The boy is a bumanitanian! What would you caîl the people wbo le!t three helpiess kittens to perishi on the Town Dump? SCUGOG CROSSING A contracting cornpan'v lhas made a finç job o! the railway crossing at the C.P.R. station on Scugog St. They first ievelled the crossing with crushed stone. Last. week they put asphalt over the stone and the crossing's as smooth as it should be. But we certainly hope work- men will look around a bit befere they mnove on. The spur-line crossing just a ittle south o! the main track hasn't been toucbed yet. And it's in pretty rough shape. OLD MONEY An old coin bas been discov- ered.

OrvMie Osborne Are Honoured on 251h Auiversary on the face with # cowboy. horse et ai, superimposed. The bill was dated 1952 and across the top read; *"This* certifies tbat there is on deposit uniimited amouni o! good will in the Treasury of The Magniticlent State of Texas." To the left of Washington's picture, and superimposed on the figure 100. is the following: "This certificate is illegai tend- er but can be used for bragging tabout Texas in both public ana private." e Question of the week: "Have you ever met a modest Texan?" ADVERTISING COME-ON Toronto newspapers carry im- pressive dollar saving ads offer- ing re-conditioned sewing ma- chines at ridiculously iow prices. It now cornes to light tbere's a reason. According ta one local rnerch- ant (whom we refer to as an au- thority) people in Bowmanville and Oshawa are "getting taken" on the deal. This is the story. A person sees the ad and writes to the company requesting information. A salesman calîs witb the machine advertised. He demonstrates the machine, and points out bow mecbanically un- sound it is. The custorner agrees. "Madam, 1 wouldn't feel right selling you this machine," the salesman says. The custorner is flattered anid at the point of gullibility when the salesman next suggests, "But I have a guaranteed, brand new machine in my car. l'Il show it to you.", So the wornan who starts out to spend $50 ends up with a machine costing more than $150. The authority we quote says five people on one street in Oshawa, and at leasi two Bowrnanviiie people have been "taken-in" on the girnrick. This story leads us to point out two glaring facts: (1) You ýget what you pay for. (2) It pays to shop at home in Bowrnanville where you know the dealer and he knows you. OBITUAHY 'Tis twenty-five years as most of you know since this boy started out in search of a beau, When cbecking the list of fine looking girls he found our Beatie looked nice in those curîs. So he bitched up the mare and washed the top buggy and headed ber west in quite a big hurry, So when he got close to our nice littie town, he decided he'd better begin to slow down. Said be to himself, now what shall I say wben I knock at the door and don't hear the O. K. But knowing Orville as ail of you must bis courage returned in (lil do it or bust>, So he needed no prompting from that very day, the trouble was then to keep hlm away. To say that Beatie feu bhard for that Bowmanville child l'il say quite frankly is putting it rnild. His first cails began about two weeks apart, till the rest o! us thought be bad made a good start. For Beatie's old beaus had ail left in a row for the Bowmaihjle farmer had stolen the show. For farming to thern seemed not to hast long, their farnily have grown, and they too have gone. Orville's an apple man dlean through you know and he's busy right now just watching them grow. If he's fishing or sleeping the apples keep growîng and money rohis in without anyone knowing. There's sidelines in farrning the most of you know to take care of emergencies and bring in the dough. The old cow in the pasture indicates this line but does be milk ber, no, not ail the time. So then by old bossy's side two big calves you will see but there's always enough left to have for their tea. The two dogs running 'round then corne in for attention, the pups they supply deserve bonourable mention. So with me tonight folks I tbink you'il agree this couple have prospered, that's easy to see. Tbey bave held the respect and good will o! ail, that's the yardstick for rneasurîng short mnen and taîl. But wbat we want to be sure of for finishing this line, that we get a bid back for their fifty-year shine. ENNISKILLEN Mission Band Party The Mission Band held a panty on June 14 with 20 present.
