Sincerely, BOWMANVILLE LITTLE N.H.L. EXECUTIVE. A parade of ail participating Little N.H.L.ers and their team officials, marched through the business section Saturday morn- ing. The Legion Pipe Band led the marchers on the parade, which culminated in a huge banquet at the High School. The Legian Ladies' Auxiliary performed their monumental serving duties at super speed ta feed the 540 diners in record time. At the conclusion of the banquet, the remainder of the pragram be- gan in the assembly hall. Howling 1kids checred the. wel knawn celebrities as they made their entrance on stage. Bow- manviiie's Little N.H.L. Presi- dent, Ed. Rundie, acted as M.C., and firstly introduced the guests, and first speaker, His Worship Mayor Nelson E. Os- borne. Mayor Osborne thanked the teams for coming ta Bowman- ville, and praised the boys' con- duct while they were bere. He also mentioned that Bobby At- tersley used ta sit near him at the Oshawa Generals' games, and eventuaily be was watching Attersley play for the Generals. Rev. A. C. Herbert, Centen- niai chairman, toid how bard aur Little N.H.L. Committee had worked, and thanked the gov- erning body for making it pas- sible ta bold the tournament here. Bill Peachy, President of the Little N.H.L. asked the out-of- town boys ta express their thanks for the way they bad been treated by aur citizens. They replied with a tremendous ovation. Gardon Alcatt, who founded the Little N.H.L. in George- town, 23 years ago, was the next speakeiý. He referred to the fact that Bob Goldham had played in that first taurnament, and there are five former Little N.H.L. players now in the N.H.L. Toronta Maple Leafs' Tod Sloan who played his first organized hockey in the Little N.H.L. system, advised the boys ta heed the coaches' instructions and play the game "fair and square." Jim Brown, Detroit Red Wings chief scout agreed with Tod, and emphatically told the young players ta "play your best and don't argue with the coach." Hockey Executive of the Year, Wren Blair, conigratulated the men behind the scenes of the tournament. He stated that lie was very proud of being a representative of Canada at the World Hockey Tournament, and praud ta be a Canadian. He told the crowd that although they may not make the N.H.L. grade, theré was always a need for amateur players, wha may even represent aur country same day in international taurnaments.

Dippeli of Bowmanville High School bas advised. These courses have been popular especially in commer- cial work, waod working and physicai training for young men and yaungz women. Courses have also been held in Basic Englîsh and Home Economnics (sewing and dressmaking) but this year thîs registration was not sufficient ta warrant their being started, although a num- ber of late inquiries were rc- ceived. Nigbt schools are subject ta the same regulations as day higb schools in respect ta mnan- agement. discipline, duties and qualifications of the instructars and the use of text books. A scbool may offer any night school courses which the Boardi and Principal feel would ha of benefit and help ta the mem- bers of the communitv. No spa- cial standing is required for admission as long as the prin. cipal feels the student is coin- petent to receive instruction in the classes he desires ta attend,. With the development of the recently înaugurated Adult Ed- ucation programme, there will no doubt, be wide interest in a variety of evening studies throughout the province. Classes, provided a sufficient number enroli, will be given next fail in the various acad. emic suhjects but such enroll- ment is limited ta students wbo are unable ta attend High School-ar where an evening class subject is not on the dai- ly curriculum. "Next year we would like to have an evening ciass in As- tranomny", Principal Dippeli statcd, "and are anxious ta get in tauch with sameane who feels qualified ta give sucb in- struction." IWe hope next fail the Higk School will be used for even- ing classes ta even a greater extent than at present", he add. ed.

The pro- bability is he or she is smelt fishing. This wcek, at Bowman- ville's barber and other places along the lakeshore, hundreds have been lining the shore with their nets. Information is that the run bas been extremely plenti- fui ta date. Included in the smelt fishers, have been dozens of women who seemn to de- rive great satisfaction from the sport. If you have been Iucky, one cf your smelty nelgh- bers bas brought yau a mess of them-all nicely cleaned and ready for the pan. They are delicious. Smart-Looking, Efficient Bowmanville Police Force 9 c Iota un 0f ail the photos taken at the Little N.H.L. Tournament here over the week- end, this picture appeals to us as the one which shows to best advantage the fine spirit of sportsmanship which prevailed throughout the event. The boy on the left had just been awarded this huge trophy for his Scarboro Junior A team which won the championship. He is Syl Apps, son of the famous Toronto Maple Leaf captain, wha played a great game and scared the anly goal in the final. The youngster on the right is Bobby 'Orr fram Parry Sound, who showed flot only great skill on the ice during the game but here exhibited great contrai and spirit in congratulating his opponent on the victory. At this point Bobby Orr had not been told that e had won the Most Valu able Player Award. In our opinion, these two lads represent the best of Young Canada.
