R. 6, Bowmanville. And they said it couldn't be done! The band parents and the band succeeded in selling over $1,000 worth of tickets for the $500 dollar draw. This will be a healthy addition to their travel fund bank account. On Thursday, Oct. 11th our senior Redmen defeated Mc- Laughlin 52-1. The juniors defeated McLaughlin juniors 24-0. The next senior game is at Oshawa Catholic next Thursday. Women's lib has even struck the football field.

S -P On Wednesday, Oct. 10th the girls basketball teams hosted Courtice. Our seniors were defeated 37-20. Jayne Bradley scored eight of their points. Our juniors were defeated 18-17. Shelly Fry scored nine points and Julie Luxton played very well defensively. The G.A.A. (Girls' Athletic Association), launched two big money raising campaigns last week. Now the students of B.H.S. can own their very own school sweater. The sweater is red with two white stripes on the right sleeve. The other campaign is a penny guessing contest. The person who guesses the number of pennies' in the jar, or the closest one to it, will win the pennies. Teachers and students are eligible. The winner will be in next week's paper. On Wednesday, Oct. 10th the junior soccer team was de- feated by Roberts of Oshawa 6-1. Chalk another one up for experience, guys! The rehearsals for the Music Man are going full steam ahead after a slight delay of scripts at the CN station. Don't forget to re- serve the first week in December for your trip to River City, Iowa. Last week was even shorter than we expected, because of the high temperatures due to a breakdown in the air con- ditioning, B.H.S. students were dismissed at 1:30 Friday afternoon - a flaw in our flawless system. SHARP-KISSINGER External Affairs Minister Mitchell Sharp will meet with U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in Washington early next month to discuss bilater- al problems. At a time when poverty and famine are hitting the Indian sub-continent particularly hard, it's nice to know that the students at BHS are doing something to help at least one youngster who might other- wise be faced with a life of extreme destitution. The young lad in the photo is Robert Brooks, a 12-year-old Himalayan yough who lives in the West Bengal province of India. The students at BHS, through their students council, have "adopted" Robert and send him $120 annually to suDnort him in the Dr. Graham Home in Kalim- pong, India. BHS bas been sponsoring an orphan child in India since 1960. Robert is their third foster child. The previous youngster was a Tibetan girl named Yanchen Laamu. As Olive Toten, the Secre- tary for the Dr. Graham's Homes organization, pointed out, the generosity of the BHS students has given Yanchen "a fine start in life". She has recently been re-settled in Canada by the Canadian government. Robert Brooks, the present foster child, recently wrote a letter to his Canadian friends and it is reprinted below, along with the accompanying correspondence from Mrs. Toten. "Dear friends How are you? I hope you have enjoyed your holiday. We are having a short holiday and I am enjoying myself very much. I go swimming early in the morn- ing to the swimming pool as I am just learning how to swim. I play football in the after- noons. On 27th July, we had a Mountbatten concert. I enjoy- ed it. Every cottage had to do a play in Hindi or Bengali. My cottage did a Hindi play called "The Theft". I did not take part in it. We are having plenty of rain and we cannot play outside. On 15th of August is our Independence Day and there will be a parade. All the schools in Kalimpong will be taking part. My Cub group will be marching also. Every class in the Junior School is doing a play. My class is doing the "Return Half". I am the porter. Now I shall end my letter with love and best wishes. Your sponsored child, Robert Brooks. September 29, 1973 To the Secretary of the Student Council, Bowmanville High School, 49 Liberty Street N. Bowmanville, Ontario Dear Students of Bowmanville High School: It gives me much pleasure to send you a letter fron Robert to let you know how he is getting along and to thank you for sponsoring him. Robert is, you will remem- ber, the young lad wh.o' replaced Yanchen as your foster child last Fall. He is the third youngster to whom you have given a helping hand and we are most appreciative of this continuing support. Rob- ert would be delighted to hear from some of you. This had been a difficult year for India and for her people. Drought and floods Celebrate Golden Wedding MR. AND MRS. L. W. HEASLIP In First Methodist Church, Trenton, Mich., on Sat., Sept. 15th, 1973, Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Heaslip repeated their wed- ding vows of 50 years ago. Rev.

After the ceremony, the wedding party were driven to the reception hall in a two- seated carriage, drawn by two ponies and a sumptuous sup- per was served by their granddaughters, after which music for dancing was sup- plied by Kathy (their daugh- ter), Joe, Cindy and Joey finished off by a song compos- ed and sung to the happy couple by the same Joe Walker, son-in-law. Much of the success of the party goes to their children, Muriel and Jack, Doris and Tom, Don and Karen, Kay and Ed, Kathy and Joe, Mike and have caused suffering and hardship for many, many thousands. Those who have not been affected directly are finding it very difficult to meet the soaring cost of food and other items. Inflation is a global problern and there are no signs of its abating. Much of the world is still desperately in need. Your sponsorship of Robert is an expression of your concern and a very personal way of doing sornething posi- tive about the need that is everywhere around us. The enclosed folder gives a good description of Dr. Gra- ham's Homes - and of the love and care that surround the youngsters. Perhaps it will help you visualize the kind of life and opportunity you are making possible for Robert. With gratitude, and with the hope that you will continue to sponsor him, I am Yours most sincerely, Olive M. Toten, Secretary. Lynn, assisted by Mrs. Carl McMullen and others. One son Ray was unable to attend. Mr. and Mrs. Heaslip have resided in Michigan ever since their wedding, and both are very active and in good health.
