Home Town Friends Honor New Hydro Chairman ~l1Ub1an tafr ma Durham County's Great Family Journal J3UWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 7th, 1961 10e Per Copv NUMBER 23.1 Kinsmen Welcome International. Guests At their regular meeting Tuesday evening, Bow- znanville's Kinsmen Club had three international guests and their wives from Germany. The goodwill trip to several Canadian Kin clubs was launched back in 1958 when Kinsmen National President Tom Good of Kingston attended an international convention in Hamburg, Germany. He met Horst Elfe who was national president of their European counterparts, the Round Tables, with 35,000 members in 23 countries, and suggested he should visit Canada sometime. Mr. Elfe replied that he knew Canada quite well, having spent some time here during World War II as a prisoner of war at Bowmanville. The visit this weel< was the outcome of this conversation. Mr. Elfe persuaded two of his friends, Heiner Retzman and Peter Prien and their wives ta accompany him and his wife. This photo shows them arriving at Bow- manville Kinsmen Club and being greeted by members of the local international committee. From left to right, Lionel Parker, Heiner Retzman, Horst Elfe, Peter Prien and Irvine "Jake" Brown.

All present and former students and teachers will be welcome. f . j t t NEW TYPE PET - Barber Syd Martin must have been surprised when he arrived home for lunch one day this week. His son Donald found a baby groundhog on Elephant Hill north cf Concession St. and visitedà The Statesman office to display bis discovery. Don advised the staff that he plans to keep the woodchuck or groundhog as a pet. The animal certainly tvas a cute little bundle of fur, but we'll be înterested to learn how friendly it wifl b. when it grows up.
