Eastdale must have been taking les- sons from Donevan be- cause they seemed to be concentrating on hitting instead of scoring. Bow- manville won 3 - 0. Al three goals were scored by Wencly Brunt. On Thursday, May il -owmanville played -Clarke H.S. Clarke is the only team who had previously defeated our Red-men. This. time' Bowmanville was ready and with an ali-out team effort played to a 0 -0 tie with Clarke. Well done team! On May 16, BHS p layed soccer at Donevan. Within the first four minutes, Bowmariville scored. However, a Donevan referee claimed that Bowmanville was off- side and therefore the goal did not count. The poor refereeing went on throughout the game. Ail the scoring was done on penalty kicks. Nancy Matthews scored for our team with Donevan adding a goal of their own. The final score was King, Diane Brown, Evangeline Williams and Noreen Wren adding a goal each. The rest of the team worked just as hard. The Redmen's defence is excellent, with most of the opponent's goals being scored on corner kicks or penalty kicks. The teams' win-loss- tie, record is 3 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. BHS is second place behind Clarke. Play-offs begin the week of May 22 f or the tireless Redmen.

FRENCH STUDENTS VISIT MONTREAL B Sherry Greengrass &Thursday, May llth, ninety French students fnom years one, two, and three departed for the city of Montreal. The trip was intended "to expose the students to French Canadian culture and life in a bilingual city, to give them the opportuni- ty to use what they have learned." On the way to Montreal a stop was made in Brockville to tour its '1842 county courthouse, one of the oidest remaining struc- tures of, its type in Ontario. Af ter arriving in the city, we went to the Chalet Lookout which gives a spectacular view of Montreal. On Friday 'we began the day by visiting the Quebec Handicraft Centre. There are many traditional and creative, handicrafts made in the province of Quebec that can be bought.- Next came a tour of C.B.C. Maison de Radio Canada, one of the world's largest and most modern radio and television' centres. There, we could observe the workings of the studios and control rooms. A brief visit was made to the Botanical Gardens, and on the way there, we drove by the Olympic Village and Valedrome Stadium. Also touned was Montreal Harbour. It is Camp X Shouldn't Be- Alan Dewar, regional councillor and'historian, chats with Rotary President Morley Watson befone the Rotary Club's weekly meeting on Thursday. Mr. Dewar was on hand as the meeting's guest speaker and spoke on Oshawa's Camp X. Documentîng the histony of the camp and his own intenest in it, Mn. Dewar claimed that Canadians should be proud of what happened there and wonk to preserve the site as a histonical landmark. Now, there is a Camp X dispiay at the Oshawa Airp ont. It was at this camp that Ian Fleming received his training and much of the British secret service's training was carried out. should be interested in the future of the camp. "Now it is clear, on the basis of research, that Camp X played a big part in tbe war andin Canadian History, " Mr. Dewar said. "The people that worked at the camp deserve a place in the annals of Canadian istory. We owe it to ourselves not to- forget that. And we owe it to ourselves not to let the benefits that will accrue from this major tourist attraction. Mr. Dewar explained to the club that there was already a commitment from the City of Oshawa and various other agencies to establish a Camp, X museum on the site and to renovate the area. He even tried to sell membersbips to the Camp X Museum society. Tbe restoration project is now in the bands of a private non-corporate organization. Tbis group faces a difficult task because of the nature of tbe restoration and the Canadian government's reluctance to release documents pertaining to the operations of the camp. 1Wile tbe main task of the camp was to train agents for the British secret service, it also served as a communica- tions centre. Establîshed in 1941, the camp operated for four years until the end of the war. Its existence and fame led to the establishment of similar operations in U.S.A. and the Soviet Union. During the four years it was operating, 155 Canadian Army personnel were used in various functions. So secret was the operation, that one man's wife was unaware until 1947 tbat be bad spent the duration of tbe war a scant tbree miles from home. Sbe believed be bad been posted overseas. Another testimony to the, camp's secrecy was the Canadian government's ignorance of who was, stationed there and for bow long. t wasn't until January 15 of this year that the army learned that 155 men had spent their time there. Mr. Dewar pointed out to the audience that Camp X is quite the world's largest inland seaport and is one of Montreal',s main industries. First on the agenda, before coming home on Saturday, was a guided walking tour o f Old Montreal. There we toured Notre Dame Church, an example of religious art, saw the Maisonneuve Monu- ment, 'typical Quebec homes and Bonsecours, Markets, which house the officiais of the City of Montreal. Before leaving the city we visited St. Joseph's Onatory. Ail in ail it was an eventful three days and a good experience. a controversial issue in Oshawa at the present time but that he still supports the reconstruction. He said that it is important to bave memorial, a living museum to pay tribute and recognize the efforts of the men and women wbo worked there. He- singled out, Sir William Stephenson, one of the, mhajor figures at the camp. Lately, the story bebind Camp X bas gained more and more publicity with tbe plans to reconstruct it and its mention in several popular books. A Man Called Intrepid deals extensively witb the camp, and it was at Camp X that Ian Fleming tbe creator of the James Bond. mystery series received bis training.
