Churches Hold Special Coronalion Services With Appropriate Music Stores and Homes, Decorated Although fia special civic ob- servances af Coronation Day were held in Bowmanville on Tuesday, there was no citizen in the town or surrounding district who did not share in some way in the glorious events surround- ing the coroation of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth IL. Many Bowmanville citizens got up at 5 arn. ta listen ta broad- casts of the coronation ceremony and an even greater number were grouped around television sets un- tii 2 o'clock Wednesday morning ta follow the great event. Many local people travelled ta Port Hope, Whitby and Oshawa ta view the special civic observ- ances staged in these neighboring centres. Perhaps the largest num- ber attended the special parade and observance held in the even- ing at Oshawa. The Bowmanvîlle Canadian Legion Pipe Band took part in this parade, as did over 30 members of the Bowmanville Le- gion Branch.* The drun2 and bu- gle band af the Boys Training Sohool also marched in this pa- rade. A good attendance was an hand ta sec the cvening ha.scball game in Mernorial Park betwcen the Bowmanvil.le and Newcastle tearns ai the South Durharn Ru- ral Basebaîl League, won by New- castle 9-6.

Practical- iy ail stores and places of busi- ness were decorated with flags, bunting and pictures af the Queen. Many private homes were also decorated with flags, bunting, and pennants, making a colorful and patriotic sight. Two babies were born at Bow- manville Memorial Hospital on Coronation Day-a boy ta Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Edwards, R.R.3, Bowmanvjlle, and a girl ta Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chapman, Pan- typool.
