The authoress, who describeti herseli as "a dabblerj in strange dishes", was report- ing on a meal serveti ber by an hospitable Japanese family.J She clalmeti the base of the muligan-lik-e first course ta be octopus and referred ta the des- sert course as "a chopped, sal- ati-like dish of indescribable flavar, which was really LICE". T have aiten wondered how the haspitable Japanese family f cit when they reati that article. Of course, there is the slight, happy chance that they didn't subacribe to the maga- zine. Not ail typographical errors are anrusing. I remember the tine a'Nortbern Ontario daily "goofeti" in providing front- page coverage for a smailtown councilior nameti George Pool. Councillor Pool had heatedly supporteti the tawn police force i the face af allegations that constables were mistreating high-spirited teenagers. Ail ares papers, devateti space ta the councillor's f irebranti speech and he was well pleaseti wîth the publicity until he came upon the story captioneti "Fool Supports Police". Suffice ta say this diti fot please him. Uniortunately, everyone far miles arounti read that caption but few bothered ta reati the insitie editorial which. applauti- ed the outspoken councillor for bis action. Perhaps because of situations like this, a sort of arganizcd defense has been built up around the so-called "typogra- phi cal error". If a mistake crops up on the printeti page you can be sure it bas nothing ta do with the way the reporter wrate the stary. Neither bas it ta do with what the proof- reader did or did flot see when she initialleti the rough sheet. Any linotype operator will tel] you he only "sets" what the re- porters write and no amaunt of searching can unearth a re- porter's orig-inal capy after an error bas been discavereti.

The many peo. ple who attended were enter- tained during the afternoon by a well selected musical pro- grain. Miss Hilda Veenstra, star of radio and television programn "Sangs of My People" sang several delightful solos. Miss Veenstra has a charmidng so- iprano voice, Hugh Martin. the director of the Bowmanville' Choral Society, and Mrs. Mar- tin, Toronto, sang a duet. Mrs. Martin also sang several love- ly solos. The programn was clos- ed by the choir singing a num- ber of selections. The servlng table was cen-i tred by a beautiful arrange- ment of spring flowers in sul- ver baskets surrounding a mu- sic staff reproduction. Mrs. Harold Stainton, Courtice, Mrs. Howard AlUin, Newcastle, Mrs. Stan Payne and Mrs. Les Col-' lacutt presided over the tea- CUPa. Doug Rlgg, director of re- creation for Bawmanville, made the special draw. The lucky winners were: Bob Hendry; R. R. 4, Bowmanville, who receiv- ed the transistor radio; Mrs. H. Willoughby, Whtby, who won tickets for two dinners at the Flying Dutchman Motor Hotel, and Mrm. A. M. Thompson, Bownianviile, whe.ý won two t"cet. for the1Pd"a Ilietme I j t nom" Navy League Tag.

Mistakes ln a Million But, before dropping the sub- ject, a word ini defense of my chosen cohorts everywhere. Consider, if yau will, reader dear, -the millions of words Lpririteti in your own hometown newspaper durlng a single year. Consider too that if you have' read ail these words and dis- covered more than half-a-dozen glaring errors you probably neeti eyeglasses. The average hometown newspaper just doesn't maice that many scr- iaus typagraphical errors in twelve months and a million words. Can you honestly match this record in your own busi- ness? Next time you pick up the paper andi find yaur nanie mis- pelled or a strange, new mean- ing mnadvertently spread across your first-person cjuote, remem- ber you may be ane in a mil- lion.

Sometimes in the inland pla- ces we arc apt ta forget how im- portant the sea ls to ail of us; that in a country dependent for its economic wellbeing on its overseas trade, the sea has a profound place in al aur lives.

We hope it will imu late new trade and, industry throughout the province with the great advantage af cheap water freights ta outside mar- kets. The Navy League does a wonderful job in keeping us flot only cognizant of the sea but, in adapting the fine char- acter-building qualities af prac- tical, sea-type training in its youth centres in the province, instils this knowledige in aur growing youth. Boys from 12 ta 18 years af age receive a training for man- hood, an understanding and ap- preciation of gaod discipline, and an opportunity ta make the most of themselves that wîll stand them in gooti stesd thrau- ghout their lîves. The Navy League bas other services. Our Canadian service- men, with the U.N. forces, av- erseas and in aur Arctic out- posts, are remembered each Christmas with the famous Na- vy League Ditty Bags, filled with gifts that are a remem- brance from home that they are in aur tboughts. Our, sîck and wounded sea veterans are visited in aur hospitals. These are things we can pay tribute to this Tag Day, with a gooti heart for this is a gooti cause. 13 Ladies Pass Tests In Swimming Tie Junior Swimmer tests of the Rcd Cross Water Safety programme were held Tuesdayj May 19th at the Bowmanvillc Training School pool.
