Court Bowmanvilîe No. 964's bowling team number three had the distinction of winning the Foresters championship for Canada recently, when they rolied 6622 pins in six garnes. They did their bowling at Liberty Bowl here and the scores were sent in and compared with others from eight of Canada's 10 provinces. The above photo shows three of the team mnembers, from the lef t, Sharon Robinson, Mult Dakin holding the Earl Parsons trophy, and Howie Pollard. Joan Gibson and Morley Etcher were the other two members of the team.. SOME SERVICE - Our Bowmanville Post Office was not to blame for some very poor service last week, we're passing the buck to Toronto and they'1l probably say it was the fire in Terminal A that was responsible. Here's what happened. Ross Davidson, Manvers Township Clerk, mailed in a change in the municipal election advertisement thbat was to appear iu last week's Statesman. He mailed it in plenty of time on Friday, November 22nd out of Bethany and it arrived here almost a week later on November 28th,'too late for our edition. Any volunteers to run a Pony Express service, it might be faster. FIRST SNOWFALL - That first big snowstorm that arrived last Thursday night didn't bit us with ail the force they had eisewhere, but lef t enough to make us reaiize that winter is with us for sure. At the moment, for ail you deserters basking, in the baimy breezes down south, we have been through a freezing ramn on top of about seven inches of the white stuff and the roads a 'round town are siippery near the curbs, the wires and trees covered with ice and during the rain, a considerabie amount of water penetrated buildings that weren't too Wel caulked. So, apply more suntan lotion and enjoy yourseives. POOR TURNOUT - Élection Day was Monday but most electors ignored the event completely and refused to'slip and slde to the polling booths. Former Darlington Township Separate School supporters probably set, a new low when only 5.68 per cent of them came out to vote for their representative on the --Northumberland' and Newcastle Board of Education. We visited one poil iu town where the bored. scrutineers had been sitting ail day trying to keep them- selves entertained. They'd run out of dirty jokes and we couldn't think of one to brigliten their existence. If things don't go well in education for the next couple of years, the blame will have to rest with those non voters, they asked for it. BIT AWKWARD- The pay phone booth on Temperance St. was biown or knocked over eariy this week and was iaying on its side, making it quite awkward for customers who wanted to use it, How it happened is a mystery, at ieast to us, but one of Mother Beli's repair crews was on the job soon putting it back upright. It~s working again but looks a bit bruised. and 599 in Hope for a total of 2,543.
