Page 2 The Col-borne Citizen Oct. 30, 1974 Colborne lawnbowlers hold annual meeting The Colborne Lawn Bowlers met Monday Oct. 21 in the Senior Citizens Room with thirty one members present. The president, Bruce Spencer, welcomed all and thanked those who had given of their time and services at the greens this year. A special thanks to Fran Carter was given for her work as Social Convenor. She was indeed busy at the various social occasions during the summer and winter. The elected officers for 1975 are: President, Bruce Spencer; Vice-President, Art Carter; Secretary-Treasurer, Bill Irvine; Social Committee, Ida Mills, and Edith Quinn. These are to choose their own helpers; Property Committee - Ross Teal, Russell Teal, Jim Davis; Games Committee - Ernie Kent, Cecil Reed, Wilf Burdett; Greens Committee - Reg Turk, Harold Black, William Irvine; Press Reporter -Lorena Irvine. The minutes of the last meeting and the Treasurer's report were read and adopted, and also, a report of the Social Convenor. A letter was read from New Horizons concerning their donations to our club. They suggested equipment and improvements to be made and a building and equipment committee will meet with directors to work on this programme. Following the business, the Bea Smith Trophy was presented to Elsie Kent and Cecil Reed who were the winners at our local tournament in September. The bowlers then enjoyed a film on how to bowl which was very instructive. This Eastern area wins county cross country Wed., Oct. 16 was the day many schools in Northumberland-Newcastle County, met at Rice Lake for the county cross-country run. Each area, (East, West and Central) had previously held their own area competition and now the top thirty runners in each division (Junior Girls, Junior Boys, Senior Girls and Senior Boys) joined as an area to compete for the county title. Smithfield had half of its original team place in order for them to participate at the county level. There were a total of 90 runners in each division and all runners' scores were added together to determine the area winner. The Junior Girls raced first. Members of Smithfield Public School representing the eastern area were as follows: Marlene DeBoer fifth, Heather Tocher eighth and Celia Tocher thirty-third. The Junior Boys began their mile run next. Members of the S.P.S. representing the east were Freddy Herrington eighth, Bradley Kelly twenty ninth, Robert In-dewey thirty-first, Scott Downey fourty-eighth, Brian Mohr fifty-eighth and Ken Indewey sixty-sixth. The Senior Girl participants from S.P.S. placed as follows - Pat O'Brien sixth, Helen Czulo eighteenth, Cheryl Haskill thirty-eighth, Sherry Smith fourty-third, Heather Poole sixty-fifth and Jill Mason CANADA SAVINGS BONDS Pay yourself first showed position on the mats, delivery of bowls, posture, bias, etc. A second film pictured the "World Championship Bowling Tournament" inAustralia which lasted four days. About fifteen countries were represented. A delicious luncheon ended a pleasant evening. The next social evening will be Nov. 4. Should anyone be interested in joining this club, they'd be glad to have seventy-fifth. Finally, the Senior boys ran their two mile cross-country. The S.P.S. entrants were Brian Haskill fifth, Tim Miller thirteenth, Terry Wood fourty-ninth and Peter Haisma seventy-seventh. The final tally showed the Eastern Area as the County Champs with 4,358 points, followed by the Central Area with 5,000 points, and the Western Area with 7,511 points. By BRUCE WEST There's not much question about it, most of us have always found it hard to save a little money. And, in recent years, it has become more difficult than ever - even for those who have been fairly good at it. It's getting so a buck is like an over-ripe orange - the more you squeeze it these days, the less you have left of it. I think one of the most impressive lectures on savings I ever received was from a thrifty friend who put it this way: "If a man can somehow manage to end up each month with only a one dollar surplus in the bank, he can feel fairly comfortable and confident. In other words, he has the sensation of standing firmly on his own two feet, even though his bank balance amounts to one paltry dollar after the month's bills have all been paid. But - if he winds up the month just one dollar in debt, then he's standing there back on his heels and will remain there day after day, never being able to quite regain his proper stance in life..." I hadn't previously thought of a mere one dollar credit or debit in quite those terms. But the more I mulled it over, the more logical it seemed. A one dollar bill did weigh quite a lot when it was applied to one side or the other of the ledger while a man was trying to walk the shaky economic tightrope which so many of us have to tackle these days. If the habit of saving -even a little bit of saving -is a good thing, it would be hard to think of an easier, safer and more beneficial way of doing it than investing in a Canada Savings Bond. You can buy one for as little as $50, either in cash or in regular payroll deductions. And the annual average interest yield of 9% percent is certainly quite attractive. Many of us have bought, or are buying, articles of various kinds on the instalment plan. Most of us manage somehow to meet these instalments each month after we've paid off the other expenses of running a household. We are, for the most part, extremely conscientious about meeting these commitments and often we wind up panting at the end of the month wondering how in the world we ever managed to make it. What we don't do - and certainly should do - is get in there in the line-up of bread men, grocery men, fuel oil men, butchers and the Handy Dandy Finance Company and make sure that we pay ourselves a little bit each month. The best way to make Social & Personal Mrs. Thompson look a load of ladies to !0 Golden Plough Tea and Bazaar Oct. •,th reporting a wonderful time. They .■elurned lo Mrs. Pugsley's Tea and Bazaar. They had a beautiful display of articles which was done by ladies there and again enjoyed the tea and sale. SUBSCRIBETO THIS PAPER BY THEYEAR ONLY $6.00 King St. W.

Colborne this rather sensational move is to simply place ourselves in some kind of position in which we are on the receiving end of at least one small instalment a month.
