The Bow] for Millions event will take place from Feb. 7-14. Bowling for Millions rolling by Don Lawrence Before long, it will be time again for the Bowl for . Millions program run by the Big Brothers Association of Midland- Penetanguishene. Last year's program was very successful raising $15,000 clear above expenses. That was in excess of their budget set at $6,000. The Bowl for Millions program is run co- operatively between the Big Brothers Association and the Midland-Penetangui- shene Five Pin Bowling Association. The funds for the program are raised when bowlers bowl one game and are pledged so much for each point. All funds raised go to run the activities of both groups. For the Big Brothers Association, the money meant that they could provide special events for the little brothers such as a trip to a Blue Jays' baseball game and Christmas and Halloween parties. They also sent several boys to summer camp using the money and increased their support services to their volunteer workers. But most importantly, their recruitment program found some big brothers for some of their waiting little brothers. At the present time, 35 boys are on the waiting list in Midland- Penetanguishene. This year's Bowl for Millions campaign has a new line of support in that 36 local merchants have graciously donated prizes which will be won by bowlers in the program. Seven major prizes are being offered to those competing in the event and these include a luxury weekend for two in Toronto as arranged by Huronia Travel, an AM-FM clock radio from Ted Light's TV and other grand prizes from The Place Setting, Woolco, Sears, Huronia Alarms and Rolfoto. The dates for the Bowl for Millions program will be the same as last year, Feb. 7-14 with the 14th being celebrity day. From 12:30-4 p.m. assortment of famous personalities can be observed rolling a few balls for the worthwhile event. It will also be a day for the general public to get involved as well as special interest groups ranging from nurses to legal secretaries. Bayshore Lanes in Midland and Night Haven Lanes in Penetanguishene will be providing their facilities for this event. If you cannot make it on Celebrity Day, there's no need to worry. Just go to one of the two bowling alleys when you can, the owner will be glad to validate your game. Spo rts Line: weekend coming events Friday The troubled .

Base Borden will A's may have more goalies Midland Athletics' Intermediate A hockey club has certainly been having problems of late with players, especially goaltenders. At Friday's game in Orillia, they were left without a change of goaltenders as their two Athletics still having problems With all the problems the Midland Athletics Intermediate A hockey club is having, their position in the standings are not improving. In 18 games, the Athletics have won one game. That gives them two points, far off the mark of Collingwood Shipbuilders in first place with 32 points. Among their problems, the Athletics have been experiencing trouble in keeping a constant turn out of players due to shift work at the factories which comprises a large part of their team. Their most recent problem arose when their goaltenders walked out on them recently, leaving them with one goaltender dressed for a game. That goaltender, who was playing in his first game for the Athletics, got injured' in the third period and had to keep playing. So far, the standings look like this: Collingwood Shipbuilders Georgetown Raiders Barrie Flyers Orillia Terriers Owen Sound Greys Port Elgin Sunoco's Midland Athletics WLT Pts il oid NOF BO "IP OO OC WH Ww T 0 1 0 22 0 1 0 0 1 1 regular goalies chose not to, play when they found out that they wouldn't be starting the game. Instead, a new goalie was used, Shawn McGuirk who was in- jured in the third period and had to keep playing despite his injuries. That injury cost them a 12-7 loss, six of the goals against them being scored after McGuirk was hurt. But their problems might be solved as of last night. At their practice in Midland Centennial Arena scheduled for last night, they were sup- posed to have two more goalies showing up to try out for the team. Bob Smith is one of those goalies and he has played intermediate hockey in Midland before. The other goalie remained nameless at news time.
