The Carnival forerunning base- bail tilt for the Legion Challenge Trophy saw Brookdale Roses hand Port Hope Merchants an 8-7 trim- ming in a close contest. The game ushered in the superb Legion Pipe Band. For 20 minutes local "kilties" ]performed intricate parade square maneuvers while the pipes skirl- ed and the drums beat an accomp- anying tattoo. The mucb ap- preciated display on the hall diam- ond added even more laurels to the band's already laden crown. The delaying action ai the bal game and the Pipe Band attribut- ed ta the late fine o'clock open- ing ai the carnival. However, hundreds stayed ta try their luck. At times it was almost impossible ta crawl down the midway at a snail's pace. Merry-Go-Round Mlsslng One thing sadly missed this year by the youngsters was the ever popular merry-go-round. The Legion executive informs The Statesman that a carausel had been employed but at the last minute the owner cancelled the engagement. Time wauld not permit making other arrange- ments. When the final accounting is complete, Branch 178, Canadian Legion, expects ta show a profit ai from $1,000 ta $1,500. Ta date, however, ail bills have not beer paid and an accurate accaunting cannat be given. The maney will help iurther equip the Legior Pipe Band with part gaing ta the Legion building iund. Highligbt ai the evening was the grand draw for 20 prizes ai- iered this year by the Legion. In- dividual draws were made by youngsters who happened ta be handy. The winner's namne was then announced by Legion vice- president C. A. McDonald whc turned in a fine executive per- formance in the absence thnougli illness ai Legion President Lloyd Preston.

Wisconsin Student Aiter experiencing a leaky-roof winter and spring in Memorial A re na, Bowmanville citizens should be made aware and realize that a new roof is a definite ne- cessity before artificial ice can be installed. The arena was erected in 1948 and since then the leaky roof bas been a neal pnob- lem. Kinsmen Karnival customers were forced ta dadge rain draps on one ai the evenings the club held its anual fun night in the Arena. Hockey fans are well aware ai the wet spots an the ice caused by water drapping on the surface irom the roof. Raughly speaking, repairing the roof will cast in the neighbor- hood ai $6,000. A new roof will have ta be applied-the old one cannat be fixed and guaranteed. Why throw dollars aiter dollars in attempting a fixing job. A new roof is needed and a new roof will prabably be applied. Expansion Causes Leaks Cause ai the leaks in the roof is attributed ta expansion ai the metal. The aluminumn sheets ex- pand and cantract with the weath- er; some are buckled cansiderably. Nails holding the rooiing are be- ing pulled from their beds resuit- ing in more haies. It is under- stood that the green lumber used in the sheathing bas since shnunk, leaving spaces ai about three inches in the deck which plays a part in the buckling ai the aluminum.
