On Sunday at the Bowmanville Lawn Bowling Club, an Oshawa rink won the Branch 178 Royal Canadian Canadian Legion trophy. Taking part in the presentation ceremony are, 1-r., Tournament Secretary Doris Woll- stein, Legion Sports Officer Seth. Hunt, Skip Gord Terwillegar, Vice Belva Cain and Lead Win Forsythe. Oshawa Team Captures Branch 178 Legion Lawn Bowling Gord Terwillegar of Oshawa, who had to be content content with the runner-up position position last, week in the Goodyear Goodyear Tournament, after being in doubt all week whether he would be able to participate, brought a new team to Bowmanville on Sunday, July 23/89 and scored a convincing win with a total of 52 plus 7. Aided by Belva Cain (vice) and Win Forsythe (lead) he had three big wins which gave his team a commanding margin over Arthur and Annie May- all with Frances Hunter of Whitby, who scored 43 plus 3 to win the second prize. ■ The "plus" scores in these totals represent points in excess excess of the maximum of 18 in each game and are used only .to break a tie in total points. The 18 points maximum maximum indicates that only 12 ends were played in each game. ...... . At the close of play, President President Frank Parise thanked Mr. Seth Hunt, Sports Officer Officer of the Bowmanville branch of the Royal Canadian Canadian Legion, for their continued continued generous support of our club. Mr. Hunt expressed his pleasure in returning to Bowmanville on his retirement retirement . and in meeting so many of his old friends who are lawn bowlers. In the first game, Gordon (I can't manage Terwillegar more than once) scored 4 on the second end against Ned Town, Edythe Charles and Lottie White of Port Hope who were unable to overcome overcome this lead although they did reduce it to one on the 5th end. The final result was 16-8. Although this wasn't the top score in the round, it matched Gordon against a strong Whitby team of Orval and Margaret Atkinson with Bill Lamb. This wasn't At kinson's day, however, and he was down 10-0 after five ends and had to submit to an 18 plus 1 to 4 defeat. Gordon's total of 34 plus 1 for two games placed him against another Oshawa team of Art and Irene Cartwright Cartwright with Jean Saywell (the trophy holder from last year) who had scored 16 in the first game and 18 plus 3 in the second. Once more Gordon rose to the occasion by running up a total of 10 points without reply in the first three ends. Cartwright got six of these back in the next two ends but could score only one more while Gordon increased his total to 18 plus 6, enough to assure assure his team of first prize and the trophy. In the meantime, Mayall of Whitby had a big win of 18 plus 3 to 7 in the first game against Jack Rowland, Vi Jiggins and Mary Cap- pier of Port Hope. In the second second game, however he was slowed down considerably, he won it with 12 points on ah extra end against Doug Kirkland, Flo Litster ana June Hurst of Oshawa. Kirkland, with a different team, had won the Goodyear Trophy a week ago but in this game he had to come from behind (10-0 after four ends) to tie it up at 12 points after 12 ends only to lose the deciding end. This was the most exciting game of the tournament: Mayall as winner winner went on to beat Len and Bernice Yuill with Nels Wilson Wilson of Oshawa 13-9 and take the runner-up position while Kirkland won easily (18 plus 3 to 4) against Frank Parise, Vi Coole and Grace Murdoch of Bowmanville. Kirkland's total of 48 plus 7 gave him the prize for High 2-Game Winner while Cartwright's 41 plus 3 entitled him to second second High 2-Game Winner. The prize for High 1-Game Winner went to Ned Town with a total of 33. Frank Parise was the most successful of the Bowmanville Bowmanville skips with one win and a total of 31, largely the result of a first round win of 18-6'over Frank and Betty Petrie with Mary Neale of Oshawa. Once more all 48 competitors competitors were loud in their praises praises of the condition of the greens (take another bow, Lloyd) and of the hospitality provided by the Bowmanville Bowmanville ladies before the game and during the lunch and tea intervals. It would be invidious invidious to single out some of the ladies for special recognition recognition but their identity is .known to club members whose thanks are added to those of our guests. As our grandchildren might say, "coolest" thanks to Mr. John James Sr. of the Canadian Statesman for coming out on. such a hot afternoon afternoon to provide his usual excellent photograph of the winners. Norm Smith. United Way Case Study Thanks to your United Way donation, our agencies can provide a needed service in. our, cpjnmpnity.Here'spne example of how the United Way helps the most. At a pick-up hockey tournament tournament in Bewdley, Ontario last March, John's life was almost at an end. He accidentally accidentally tumbled onto an opponent's opponent's skate blade and severed severed his jugular vein and carotid artery. Teammates siurried him into a van and rushed him to emergency. There were no life signs upon arrival, the blood vessels vessels had collasped and blood was pouring out. After undergoing undergoing 4 1/2 hours of surgery, surgery, John was transferred to Toronto General Hospital where he underwent six more hours of surgery. A total of 14 pints of blood and two points of plasma plasma were injected through his ankles. John's life was saved be cause of the speed of his teammates, the amazing skills of the doctors ana medical staff and most vital, the generosity of blood donors donors through the Canadian Red Cross Society ( A United United Way Agency). During the years, John had donated blood and will continue to do so, so that people in situations like his, may also have a chance at a new fulfilling beginning, not a tragic ending. Without your United Way donation, John would not have received those life saving saving pints of blood and plasma plasma supplied by the Canadian Canadian Red Cross (A United Way Agency).

Hobnobbing With Harvey The 1957 T-Bird shown here was the winning entry in Saturday's BIA Car Show. It's owned by Bernadette Bernadette and Richard Horton who are pictured here as they receive their prize from Dave Boyd, chairman of the Sidewalk Sale Promotion Committee. Mr. and Mrs. Horton's sons, Kristopher and Matthew, are also shown. By Harvey Malcolm "Much Ado about Nothing" As we have perused the various news, views and opinions as expressed in the local newspapers recently, we have been rather impressed, impressed, negatively we must admit, as to how many people people like to dictate the lives of others to their own particular particular taste or whim. In the good old days, the average individuals possessed more of a live and let live attitude than they do today. The tea drinkers would like everyone everyone to drop their "disgusting addiction" to alcohol in its various enticing forms and revert to tanic acid. Did you ever notice what a coating a cup of tea does to a tea cup, sitting overnight? Just think what that stuff must do to one's stomach! And that "turribul coffee" with all that caffeine in it! Guaranteed Guaranteed to kill you in no time at all if you drink more than one cup a day. Guess those 4 cups we drink each morning in lieu of breakfast will do us under any day now. But worst of all of course is smoking. Did you ever notice notice how all those do-gooders who probably never smoked a puff in their lives, would pass anti-smoking bylaws all over the country? Some folks just can't stand seeing somebody else enjoying themselves without sticking their nose in to it. Sure, I quit smoking years ago but must admit the smell of a good cigar still tickles the nostrils.- providing we have a little distance between us. Then there is currently a lot of talk making the rounds about midwifery. Was thinking seriously of getting involved if a suitable opening was to present itself. itself. Perhaps we had better rephrase that last sentence. After all who has more experience experience than a retired farmer like myself who has presided at the birth process of millions millions of births; well would you believe thousands or even hundreds? Of course most of our victims, I mean Œ " its were of the four variety, sows (it doesn't take long to add number in swine births- litterally speaking of course), plus sheep or cows. But, on further consideration consideration we've decided against it. Why do babies always want to be bom in the middle of the night? Besides, always did hate cleaning my fingernails fingernails and "Midhusbanary" doesn't have such a fine ring to it either does it? The recent comment by our local M.P. Mr. Scott that "the Canada-U.S. Free Trade agreement is by any standard a "momentous achievement" I found to be a very tittilating statement to say the least. I'm sure that all those Ontario producers of oats as a cash crop (probably (probably the most lucrative cash crop of 1988) will be thrilled to learn that they will now be in competition with a country ten times our size for the same market. But, that's another story. Will leave that saga for another time perhaps...! To conclude this week's edition along the same vein- did you realize that half a ton of waste diaper material finds its way to our sanitary landfills from every average child before it's toilet trained at roughly 2 1/2 years. Sure sounds like a lot of soggy diapers to me! Van Belle I Floral Shoppe; ...much more than a flower store! 14 STORES •WghtwyNo.2 King St, W,, Oshm SlmcoiStN., Oihiw» 100 Dund*i 9.
