An Example of Cooperation f Tomorrow evening, N ewcastle's citizens and those in that -district will havé another recreation facility open to them. A small enthusiastic group saw the oppor- tunity of purchasing the bowling alleys which were being moved from Martyn's Bowling Alley here. They called a public meeting and the group undertook to purchase four aileys which have been installed in the community hall basement with a great deal of volunteer assistance. The aiieys, beautifully finished, wiil open Friday evening as a fine example of what can be accomplished by cooperative effort within a community. This photo shows Marilyn Cobbledick and Vic Garrod trying out their skill.
