Rick Simpson scored his second hat trick of the playoffs with Brent Clemens scoring our fourth goal. Chuck Welsh had 2 assists and Kevin Noble 1 assist. This gave Toro's a 2-1 lead in games. Final score Bowmanville 4, Markham 0. On Feb. 16 playing in Markham against a hard hitting team facing elimina- tion our boys held their cool and stuck to hockey and beat this deternined tear 5 to 3.

Then continue our all Ontario playoffs Mar. 1 and Mar. 2 against Napanee or Gananoque. Bowmanville Boys Laze On Moroccan Beaches by Jean Ahlvik Six-twenty in the morning is a frightening time, for the phone to ring. For Mr. and Mrs. Robert Colwell of Fourth St., Bow- manville it is especially so. They have two sons, their elder boy is often exposed to danger as a policeman in Metro Toronto while the younger, John, 20, is off in North Africa with several friends. Well, on January 29th the Colwell phone did ring at 6:20. The operator ringing through was French, but it was soon apparent that they were being asked if they would accept charges on a collect call from Morocco. At this point Mrs. Colwell turned the telephone over to her husband in terror. "You talk," she insisted. Bob Colwell admits that he, too, had a few anxious moments until the French operator in Morocco cleared the line, and he heard his son John's cheery voice. John had been lying on the magnificent beach in Agadir with his travelling companion Jim Buttonshaw, another Bowmanville boy. They were talking about home and decid- ed that it would be nice to surprise their parents. Conse- quently, the phones in two Bowmanville residences rang very early on a Wednesday morning in late January. Bowmanville is very well represented in Agadir these days. Just after John and Jim arrived they were drinking coffee in a sidewalk cafe and saw Jerry Macdonald, of Ontario Street, Bowmanville crossing the street in front of them. John had originally set out with Jerry Macdonald last July. They had stayed in London for a while but when John travelled to the English Midlands to visit his grand- parents in Herefordshire, Jer- ry went abroad and toured Europe. John went back to London in order to work and save the money for the next leg of his journey and stayed with Gary Murphy, yet another young Bowmanvilleite on the move. Despite the difficult economic situation in England, John was able to save the money ihe needed by November. A letter to Jim Buttonshaw of Ontario St. in late Novem- ber brought immediate re- sults. One day Mrs. Barbara Buttonshaw phoned to tell the Colwells that Jim had receiv- ed a letter inviting him to join John for a trip through Europe to Morocco. Jim was leaving the next day. After Jim's arrival, the boys stayed in London for one week making-irrangements to tra- vel to Morocco in a private bus with a group of young people. There must have been some serious driving done. They visited Amsterdam, Paris, drove down the Costa Brava to the Costa del Sol (which John found spectacular) and cross- ed into North Africli. They were in Maärrakeslin the foothills of the Atlas Mount- ains five days after leaving London. They camped on a beach for a week or so before moving on to Agadir where the temperat- ure this time of year hovers around the 80 degree mark. The boys knew that Jerry Macdonald would also be heading for Agadir around this time of year, but they expected to have great diffi- culty finding him. According to Mr. Colwell the chance meeting is quite typical of the kind of luck the boys have had on this trip. So far they are absolutely on schedule. Af ter they have had their fill of sun, sand and sea, they plan to travel north to buy a van in Amsterdam. From there they will drive south through Italy and Greece and finally cross into Asia in Turkey. Their aim is an overland trip to India. If their luck holds out and they get a good buy on the van, it seems that there is little to stop them from making even that terrifically arduous jour- ney. The Colwelis speak with quiet pride and confidence about their son. "Sometimes I worry if he bas had a good meal that oay," says Mrs. Colwell, "but I know now that he can take care of himself." I think the trip will make a better person of him." And so, thanks to the wonders of modern transpor- tation and the spirit of adventure in men's hearts, when the sun sets, three B.H.S. graduates will crawl into a tent on a distant African beach to dream of even further off India. Letters f0 February 17, 1975 Dear Sir: e should like to reply to a "Letter to the Editor' (in the Feb. 5, 1975 issue of the Canadian Statesman) written by Mr. Kenneth Lyall, Coun- cillor, in response to my letter to you of Jan. 29, 1975. If Mr. Lyall would take thirty seconds to re-read my letter, Hl would fînd that I am not commenting on whether or not Bowmanvilie should re- ceive a Day Care Centre (instead of one of four other communities). Neither am I suggesting that Day Care Centres are unnecessary (to this or any other community). Thus we can conclude that many of Mr. Lyall's com- ments are irrelevant. My concern is clearly and specifically this: 1. Within The Downtown Core of Bowmanville, there are several sites which are much better suited to a Day Care Centre than the Churc Street location - for reasons clearly set out in my original letter. 2. Your quote re DeHart (Oshawa) evaluation states one appraisal of this property; where are the OTHER TWO APPRAISALS? It is only good business to solicit three inde- pendent appraisals when pub- lic money is being spent. My bet is that Mr. DeHart's evaluation would be the high- est! No "comparison shop- ping" was done in this case! Having no personal "ax to grind", I shall abstain from commenting on Mr. Lyall's remarks. I don't fit into any of Mr. Lyall's three categories - which makes me a misfit, I suppose! Thank you, Mr. Editor, for providing this opportunity for expression of my opinion. Perhaps Mr. Lyall's reply will zero in on the specific issues outlined above, and I may yet receive an explanation to cure my doubts! I'll watch for it in Section III of your paper - made necessary to eaccom- modate the fantastic flow of words from Mr. Lyal's pen! Yours very truly, "Concerned Citizen" WOMEN'S LIB Dear Editor: I though the humor (?) in Mr. Smiley's "Sugar and Spice" column in last Week's Statesman in very bad taste. Mr. Smiley certainly bas a very distorted idea of what the Women's Liberation Move- mentis all about. Having your name on a car ownership, a mortgage and an insurance policy does not constitute a state of liberation.

Mr. and Mrs. Tony Janczyn were Sunday evening guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Gibbs. w the Editor I women are fighting about, I'm afraid it would be a lost cause. Considering the state of the economy these days, many families will never realize home ownership or many other material things. His reasoning concerning the fact that many women choose to remain at home instead of entering the work- ing force was absurd. Regard- less of the fact that women have one job at home caring for the bouse and the children, many women refuse to take on a second job because itj'ust isn't financially feasible; Many of the jobs that women can get are low paying and after deducting chîld care, transportation, husband's in- come tax losses and other related expenses, there is little left to show for her efforts. I am sorry for Mr. Smiley in that he puts women in the same class as old men and children and seems to get only a surface enjoyment from women. We have a great deal to offer and given a chance could make the world a better place to live in. Women have the intelligence and motiva- tion to tackle any challenge plus the compassion and sensitivity many men lack. If women are to fully utilize their capabilities, people like Mr. Smiley, and there are many men and women in the group, have got to change their thinking. We certainly are not tired of liberation and won't be until we obtain equality. When people stop talking about the Women's Liberation Movement, when it is no longer the topie of every unpaid bomema ker, every low-paid unskilled female worker, of every professional women who has had to work twice as hard for half as much recognition in the medical, political and scientific fields, than we will know that we have achieved our goal - total equality.
