Where Hospitality Was Superb by M. Killeen An educational experience of great worth occurred this past weekend as two busloads of Canadians from Bowman- ville passed over the Inter- national Border and toured across the states of New York and Massachusetts and finally arrived in "Colorful Connect- icut". Sixty-two well-groomed kids and nine slightly apprehensive adults left Bowmanville High School right on schedule, at 8 a.m., Thursday, May 8, com- plete with band uniforms and instruments in anticipation of enjoyment from all the new sights and sounds which might be ahead of them. Under the capable guidance of excellent drivers, with two of Travelways new and com- fortable coaches, the group was completely at ease as they crossed the large Ivy Lea Bridge without incident at il o'clock. Only the Rotary exchange student, Kelvin Rob- ertson of Australia, was re- quired to register at Customs. On such a beautiful morning the scenery was at its best, and the students marvelled at the hugh masses of trilliums in the wooded areas along the way. The countryside is very rolling and densely wooded throughout eastern N.Y. and the state of Mass., and it waî easy to understand wby much, of the housing is clapboard. The band members were impressed, by tbe age and styles of the homes and their general neat appearance. The farm buildings, complete wîtb rooftop cupolas, along the Syracuse Thruway seemed snug and cosy as they nestled in the. valleys with higb tree-covered hills in the back- ground., At 9 o'clock on Thursday evening the bus driver an- nouneed "Here we are, in, beautiful downtown Port- land!" - typicaltlittle New England town of about 5,000 people.

The enthusiastic greeting by the Portland Band leader, Mr. Osterling, was followed by the introduction of Mr. George Culp, Band Manager, who in turn announced the immed- iate plans for the Canadian visitors and paired them off with their Portland billets - many of whom had shared their Bowmanville hospitality of a week earlier. As the young people went home together, the adult chaperones were taken to the most beautiful and historical Lord Cromwell Motor Hotel. This Inn, with its imposing white columns and weathered brick, has been constructed to incorporate materials from several ancient Connecticut buildings and features, as well, a huge glass-domed pool and recreational area. To say that the Bowmanville visitors were impressed would be an understatement, for besides the magnificent surroundings, both the food and the service were impeccable. On Friday morning, after attending an 8 o'clock class with their Portland friends, the B.H.S. students and chaperones toured the cen- tury-old Goodspeed O pera House and then boarded the new 400-passenger Yankee Clipper ship for a delightfully relaxing four-hour cruise down the Connecticut River. The lovely riverside year- round homes were only sur- passed by the huge stone Gillette Castle, bult in 1913 by the renowned actor William Gillette to be his American "Castle on the Rhine". In it are many reminders of his most famous role, that of Sherlock Holmes. The castle with its five-foot thick walls and secret passageways is situated on what is now a Three or four hundred acre state park. The boat cruise over, the females, at least,were treated by tbeir hosts to a cou ple of ,ours of shopping, wbile the males worried about the moneys that were being used up. After the combined bands' rehearsal for the Saturday night concert, the Canadian visitors were entertained to a fun evening by the Portland group, and the aduits, espec- ially, were interested in the very active and helpful Band Boosters Association - a large group of dedicated Band parents who organize, raise money for, and participate in many activities in connection with their 25-year-old band. The Bowmanvilte parents are urged to support their young musicians in the promotion of music as a source of fellow- ship to develop national and international relationships, and as a tool towards tremen- dous educational opportun- ities. Incidentally, about 10:30 Friday evening, Mr. Oster- ling, concerned that the "girls" hadn't bad enough opportunity for souvenir shop- ping, called a local gift shop owner who graciously opened her delightfully crammed shop for her Canadian visitors to browse around and bring back genuine U.S. memen- toes. Saturday was a day to remember at RockyaNeck State Park where the Portland School buses trans- ported the whole group to a vast beach area, complete with a massive stone pavilion where full-sized tree trunks (one from every State Park) act as supports for this picnic shelter with dance floor on the upper level. The Portland Band Boosters set up their barbeque equipment and pro_ vided "Super-burgers", pop, coffee and desserts to the total satisfaction of the 200 present. Saturday evening - the climax of a marvellous ex- perience - brought forth 60 smart looking vouna oersons in their red and white uni- forms who played the Star- Spangled Banner with great dignity and skill and then with purpose, pleasure and deter- mination swung into the ever-famitiar strains of O Canada! which brought tears to the eyes of every chaper- one. It sounded so good! The program, though sim- ilar to the one heard the week previously, had a richer, more mellow sound in the Portland School Gymnasium perhaps because of the extra practice, but also because of the risers which the P.H.S. Band uses to make a multi level produc- tion. Mr. Tremeer, who had been welcomed first by-Por- land's leading citizen, and then by Mr. Osterling, ex- pressed the sincere apprecia- tion of his group for the fine reception and warm hospital- ity extended to them. The concert was excellent, and the Portland Band showed a relaxed skill which comes naturally on home territory. The highlights were probably the splendid trombone solo by Bowmanville's own Susan Dustan, and the one change in the program - Buglers' Holi- day which the capacity crowd tboroughly enjoyed. Our tbree trumpeters - Bill Lander, Scott VanDriel and Bob Walk- er really played well. About midway through the concert, Scott VanDriel was called forward to receive the Connecticut State Flag from Bob, Parks, President of P.H.S. Band. Scott, though speaking with d.ificulty be- cause of laryngitis, accepted the flag graciously on behalf of Bowmanville High School. After a standing ovation from those present the two band groups enjoyed a party and dance in the schoot cafeteriacwhich conctuded around midnight when the guests were given the oppor- tunity to get rested up for the trip back to Ontario. Mean- while, Mr. and Mrs. Osterling entertained the Bowmanville chaperones at their home. TYRONE Mr. and Mrs. A. Youngman and family, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Youngman attended services at St. Bartholemew United Church, Brampton, where Peter, son of Mr, and Mrs. Allan Youngman was christ- ened, Later they were al] guests of Mr. and Mrs. Youngman and family. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Rekker' and family, Mr. and Mrs. Merv. English and family, The parents and friends of the B.H.S. Band can be proud of such a fine group of young people who have had this experience. Musically, they are a tribute to the fine leadership of Mr. Elliott Tremeer - the musician; and, socially, they are a tribute to their parents as well as a compliment to Mr. Tremeer- the gentlemen. An experience of this kind can never be graded on an educational level for its rewards will be reappearing year after year as these students mature. The Portland Connecticut Band Association bas asked us to convey their tlianks to, the Canadian Statesman and those individuals responsible, for the gift of last week's copies of the newspaper con- taining the excellent coverage of their trip to Bowmanville. They are very worthwhile souvenirs of a fine weekend. Newcastle were Sat. evening guests of Mr.and Mrs. Jack Brown.

Not hoping to set any speed records she plans to be the first grandmother to accomplish the feat. Since January she has trained every other day in a 40 foot pool, adding one mile each month, until by the end of May, she will swim.10-15 miles per da at a cottage near Napanee. We hope to hear of her progress until the swim in August and wish her well. FOR THOSE - who have been wondering how the chap who was attempting to roller skate from Toronto to Halifax, we hear he was forced to abandon the idea east of Kingston. investigations into "Theft" offences, three investigations into "Break and Enter" off- ences and two investigations into "Wilful Damage" off- ences. Other investigations concerned reports of Tres- passers, Prowlers, lost and found properties and various driving complaints. Nine persons have been charged with offences under the Liquor Control Act and seven persons have been charged with offences under the Criminal Code. DRIVING TIP: DIMMING HEADLIGHTS Drivers! It's courteous ... and a legal requirement . . . to change high headlight beams to low beams when meeting other vehicles at night. It's also courteous and a legal requirement to deflect the high beams when following another vehicle. Bright high beams cause dangerous dazzle in rear-view mirrors and this can cause a collision. Remember, deflect your high beams when meeting or fol- lowing other vehicles. The Ontario Safety League has started to refer to bi- cyclists as "bicycle drivers" in an effort to better reflect the cyclists responsibilities in traffic. "This is doubly im- portant," stated a spokesman, "in the light of new legislation permitting fourteen-year olds to operate mopeds (môtor driven hiveles)."
