A fine program was presented by convenor, Mrs. J. J. Cuddahee. A pleasant feature of the evening was the presentation by Mrs. D. Park on bebaif of the association, of a wedding gift to Mr. Leonard Swatridge, a staff member of Central School. During the Christmas Vacation Mr. Swatridge, wbo comes from Stratford, was mar- ried to Miss Margaret Joan Mc- Leod, also of Stratford. Mrs. Park expressed the good wishes of 'the Association, and the groom fittingly replied. On the evening's theme of Citizenship, Mrs. Cuddahee said that Canadians are apt to zthink Americans do a great deal of flag waving, whereas Canadians are apt to be almost too reticent on jhis subject. But at the time of oh r Queen's Cor- onation. in June, 1953, there was no doubt left in anyone's mind either here or abroad, just how proud Canadians are of their country and of their Queen and Commonwealth. Mrs. Cuddahee then intro- duced Miss Martha Goudie, who with Miss Rose Bate, had the wonderful experience of at- tending the Coronation. Miss Goudie showed pictures taken on their trip, including shots of familiar landmarks in Lon-! don, as well as of the Corona- tion procession itself. Two fine young contributors to the program were Howard! Rundle and Beverley Smith who competed in the public speaking contest foi schools of this district last Faîl. Howard spoke on "Casa Loma" and Be- verley on "India". The clear enunciatin and splendid de- livery of both made it readily understood why these two pu- plis were prize winners in the Bowmanville s c h o o 1 s, and among the winners in the West Durham contest.

Their speeches were composed by themselves and showed an excellent command of vocabu- lary. These young people may well be proud of their ability in the field of public speaking. On the musical side, mem- bers were entertained by two fine piano selections by Max Lycett. Also by two young vio- linists from Oshawa, James Rowden and Winston Petch, who are pupils of Mr.- Klemi Hambourg. Having troube with a slipping peg so that bis instrument would not stay in tune, James calmly borrowed his friend Winston's and pro- ceeded to play a fine solo. Win- ston also performed most cre- ditably on this difficult instru- ment, and James returned for another selection. James Row- den was winner of second prize in his class at the Canadian National Exhibition, Mrs. Cud- dahee announced. The boys' contributions were much en- poyed. They were accompanied at the piano by Miss Leta Bragg. Mrs. Park thanked all those who took part on the program. During the business period, conducted by President Mrs. Wiseman, minutes were read by Mrs. I. Munday, and treas- urer's report showing a bank balance of $358.66 and cash on hand of $1.05, was given by Mrs. R. Richards. Mrs. Rich- ards also reported that the special Christmas collection of $14.65 was spent on clothing for a needy family recommend- ed for assistance by Lieut. John Ham of the Salvation Army. Winners of Parent-Teacher Count were: Central - Miss Morrow and Miss Bartlett; On- tario - Miss Couch; Vincent Massey-Miss Cooper. The pre- sident announced that discus- sion groups would be a feature of the next meeting, to be held at Ontario Street' School. Miss Bragg presided at the piano for opening and closing exercises. She: "How about giving me a diamond bracelet?" He: 'My dear, extenuating circumstances perforce me to preclude you from such a bauble of extravagance."~ She: "I don't.get it." He: "That's what I just said." TIC K ET S TO EVERYWHERE Air, Rail or Steamship Consult S URIlY & LO0 VIlL L 3owmanville 15 Kig St. W.

Formed locally two years ago, the Bowmanville Milk Foundation is one of the mem- _4er units of the Associated Milk Foun dat ions of Ontario, pur. pose of which is to promote greater use of milk and better nutrition in genenal. President Alfred Allin wel- comed the guests and introduc- ed the head table: Maurice Hart of the Oshawa Dairy, Rob- ert Morris, Secretary-Manager of the Associated Milk Founda- tions; Miss Annetta Mclvlona- gle, Nutritionist of the Asso- ciated Milk Foundations; and Mayor Nelson Osborne of Bow- manville. Mayor Osborne welcomed the guests from out of town and expressed bis pleasure at being invited to the first dinner meet- ing of the Bowmanville Milk Foundation, which he admitted he had not heard of before ne- ceiving the invitation. Presi-j dent Allin stated that the local Foundation had not held a pub- lic meeting before as it had concentnated on completing its organizational work first. He introduced the Secretary-Man* ager, Robert Morrison, and the other members and guests to the gathering. Promote Milk Use Mr. Mornison stated that he was pleased to attend the first dinnèr meeting of the ongan- ization as hie felt this type of meeting was best to acquaint the public with the purpose of the Associated Milk Founda- tions. These, he said, are pri- marily to promote the use of milk and encourage milk con- sumption. "We also concern ourselves sincerely, however, with the genenal health and well-being of the people in the community". lbe declared. "We seek to promote a better diet and stress the important place of milk in that diet". The speaker pointed out that the costs of the local Founda- tions are borne equally by the producers and distributors - the farmers and dairymen. They also have equal control over the prognam of the foun- dation. The first Foundation was es- tablished in Toronto in 1938, lie said, patterned aften the Na- tional Dairy Council of the Un- ited, States. Since that time othen Foundations have been set up throughout Ontario and there are five in Alberta, one in Saskatchewan and one in British Columbia. Montreal bas a similan organization, Mr. Morrison stated, and it is hoped that Foundations can be estab- lished in the Maritime Provin- ces. Prepare Prbrnotional Material "Each local Foundation such as the Bowmanville Founda- tion, is autonomnous and runs its own affairs,", he said. "How- ever, ahl join together in the Associated Mllk Foundations and pay a small membership fee to the central office". These monies are used in preparation of posters, displays and pam- phlets designed to promote the use of a balanced diet and to point out the important role that milk plays in a healthful diet. The pamphlets, posters and display cards are distributed mostly to schools, he said, but doctors, dieticlans and public health nurses also make con- siderable use of thern. The lo- cal Foundations decide where they can be placed to serve the best purpose. Miss MeMonagle outlined ne- cent pamphlets and visual aids lirepared by the Associatedj Milk Foundations, which in- clude singing song books for youngsters in kindengarten and the early school grades and a picture booklet giving primary health rules. An attractive dis- play of the many chants and posters which the central office,- bas available for the use of the local foundations was set up in the dining hall.

Sports have not been too alive in this district but we were pleasingly surprised to see two Public School hockey teams in action on one of our local ponds. The game was between Matchetts School, Cavan and Pontypool School. Mr. Challice who formerly taulght here is teaching at Matchetts and man- ages the Cavan entry. He also officiated as referee. Our boys proved to be too strong for the Cavan Blazers, winning 10-2. We don't want to pick out individ- ual stars but Kirk, Hackwood and Curtis were very effective on the forward line, while the Fallis twins, although smnall in size, slowed up the Cavan for- wards while playing good hoc- key on the defense line. We were sorry to learn of the sudden death of Mr. Harold Bannon of Peterborough, who dropped dead from a heart at- tack in Lindsay. This young man was born near Manvers Station and had attended Car- scadden's School. He was the son of Mr. Robert Bannon of Peterborough and is also sur- vived by two brothers, Cecil of Oshawa, and Walter of Peter- borough. We are glad to report that Mr. St. Clair Darroch is able to be out again after being confined to his home for threè weeks with a severe attack of infectious jaundice. Good prices prevailed and a large crowd was present at the auction sale of George Hamil- ton and Son. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Hamilton and family left on Monday for Markham where Ross bas secured a position. The United Church will hold their congregational meeting on Monday evening, preceded by a pot-luck supper. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mucha en- tertained aý number of their friends on Saturday evening. good time was had by ail.
