The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 19,1974 Section Two Use Bingo Funds to Improve Memorial Park Most Friday nights, a familiar cry of "Bingo" can be heard from the Memorial Park Clubhouse as the regular devotees of this ancient game plop down their corn or plastic chips in the squares until some lucky person has a line complete and wins the prize. These photos were taken on a recent Friday night when, as usual, a good crowd was on hand for the event. Proceeds are used by the association to improve the grounds or the hall. In the lower picture, Charlotte Clarke and Les Chittick look after the funds while George Dilling rests a bit from his duties in the kitchen. Frank Woolner calls out th e numbers and his picture would have appeared as well but our photographer ran out of film, BETHANY Mrs. Loraine Smith was presented with a beautiful silver rose bowl from the teachers of Grandview at the Victoria County Teachers' Institute annual Retirement Dinner at the Bonfire Res- taurant on Monday, June 10, 1974.

TAMBLYN Following a brief illness, Cora -Alma Tamblyn, aged 81, passed away in Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, on Monday, dune 3rd, 1974. The "former Cora Alma Cowieson, daughter of the late John R. and Mary A. (Sharpe) Cowieson, was born at Islay, Fenelon Townsbip, Victoria County, and was educated in Fenelon Townsip. On December 15, 1916, she was married to Percival S. Tamblyn who predeceased ber. Residing in Newcastle, she was a devoted housewife, and a member of the Newcastle United Church.

The funeral was held from the Morris Funeral Chapel, on Wednesday, June 5, 1974, with Reverend Smith, Newcastle, officiating. Pall-bearers were Messrs. Lloyd, Carl and Allan Tam- blyn, Eddie Solski, Wayne Withers and Art Shier. Interment was in Eden, Mariposa Township in Vic- toria County. W ES Meetings of local units of the UCW were cancelled for the month of June and the group as a whole met at noon at the Welcome church for a general meeting conducted by the president Mrs. T. Wilson. Business followed directly on the conclusion of lunch and consisted mainly of discussing and voting on the recommen- dations made at the last executive meeting. Several cars took about 25 of the ladies on a trip to Orono forestry station while those who were not planning to go, performed the inevitable wash up which follows a meal, a service which was greatly appreciat- ed by those whose time was limited. Members of the staff at Orono presented an illus- trated lecture of the work done at the station and went with the ladies on a conducted tour, stopping at certain places to view and explain the different stages of growth and how the planting and transplanting was done. The grounds pre- sented a very fine appear- ance, especially the cedar hedges which showed lush green growth in contrast with all the cedar trees and hedges all over the* country side. The ladies were told it is necessary to spray at least four times a year to control the insect which is causing the damage and annual spraying is neces- sary because of prevalence in the woods and wild growth everywhere. With elm trees gone and cedar looking so sick, there is a marked change in the appearance of the countryside.

Ramjit might be present at Garden Hill for the special youth service being held there. Paul's letter in Corinthians chapter 13 was the basis for the morning message and Mr. Nichols spoke on the first named virtue, Hope. Faith and Love generally get most attention by speakers and writers but without Hope, both would soon disappear. The junior choir led in the worship of song and their special anthem was the Story of the Prodigal Son. They were accompanied by Ruth Kellog and Aileen Wilson on their guitars. Very lovely arrange- ments of different shades of iris, and pink blossoms of honeysuckle were in the altar vases, Several young people from the church took part in the youth service at Garden Hill. Fifteen members of CGIT were there with Elaine Kellog reading one of the lessons, Leisa Inch carried the flag up the aisle, Jo anne Vanderwindt also took part and Janice Henderson sang with the choir from Dr. Hawkins' School. There is a happy reunion at the Wm. Eyden home where Mr. John Eyden and Mrs. Elsie Cain of Enfield and London, England, are spend- ing two weeks. Brother and sister of Mr. Eyden they have not seen each other since Bill came to Canada as a boy. Mrs. Eyden also had a visit last week with a pen pal who is in Canada on a visit so there have been two occasions for family get togethers. A letter received here this wéek from New Zealand tells of weather troubles there. Suffering from cold south winds, and the results of a very hot and dry summer which lowered the water in lakes ard rivers, they have power restrictions, in some places even blackout- al- though New Plymouth ar has had only the heat cut cd at night. They complain, too, about the hundred Japanese fishing boats off the coast with strong lights like a town at night.
