CH. 1â€"1129 Weston Dukes, working hard at their Weston arena practice sesâ€" sions, are rapidly rounding into form and by the same token, are just as rapidly being cut down to size. About 20 players remain on the squad and this year‘s edition of last year‘s champion Junior Bees will emerge from that group. The probability is that all of them will be carried through a series of exhibition games being arranged to put the final touch to the team before the schedule gets under way. Brampton Lawn Bowling Club won the William 8. Gibson (Face Elle) trebles trophy at the Weston Lawn Bowling Club greens last Saturday, Oct. 114 The local club‘s president, Mr. Tom Spour, made all welcome at the commencement of the match and announced the rules of play. The afternoon was sunny and warm, but the eveningâ€","boy, oh boy"â€"turned chilly with a nice breeze to add to the discomfort. Bowlers are not quitters and thereâ€" fore all stayed in there pitching (bowling) until the last round. _ Third place, Lansdowne, shipped by W. Rodger, and W. Swarbrick, J. Graham, three wins and 49 points Fifth place, Canadian Kodak, skipped by J. McGraw with E. Cockshoot and F. A. Taylor, one win‘ with 54 points. First of the exhibition games is booked for this Friday night, Oct. 17, the Dukes travelling to Aurora for a ‘friendly" game with the Aurora Bears Junior C‘s, last year‘s finalists in that series. The Bears bowed to Collingwood in the championship and claim they are stronger than last year. The tussle should be a good workout for both clubs. . The results were: winners of the trophy and first.prize: Brampâ€" ton, skipped by G. Thompson with E. Henderson and Bill Boddam, three wins and 56 points. Second place, West Toronto, skipped by Harry Hall with Norm Robinson and Neil C. Felkner, three wins 54 plus 4 points. Fourth place, Weston, skipped by Dave Marshall with Dick Cook and Henry Loose, two wins and 53 plus two points, It is expected that the "Big Six" Junior B group schedule will start earlier than last year and in all probability the schedule will be drawn up at a meeting to be held before too long. Last year the league games started around the middle of November. This year the clubs might hit the starting Gibson Trophy Taken By Brampton Bowlers Possible Early Start In Junior ‘B‘ Schedule Thirteen clubs entered, Weston with eight entries and one each from Boulevard, Kodak, Brampton, Rusholme, Lansdowne, Humberâ€" side, West Toronto, Lawrence Park, Aldershot, Glebe Manor, Runnymede and Kew Beach, a splendid representative group. The hour was very late before the finals came in. Evidently the chilly weather slowed up the playâ€" ers. Farewells were said about 11 pm and another Weston trophy was transported to an outâ€"ofâ€"town club. Tommy Spour congratulated the winners and hoped that next season would see all the many visiâ€" tors who attended the 1952 seaâ€" son‘s tournaments would be back again playing on the Weston greens. deck Nov. 1. We‘ll know next week. The "Fow!" tournament held by the Weston Lawn Bowling Club on Wednesday, Oct, 8, resulted in the following winners: first prize, two chickens each, Doc. P. W, Pearen and Tom James of Runnymede; second prize, West Toronto, Harry Hall and Neil Felker, also two chickens each; third place, high with two wins, Bill Powers and son of Rusholme Club, one chicken each; fourth prize, high with one win, Weston, Stan Chapman and George Gardhouse. From goal out the Weston Dukes are shaping up like a mighty strong club. Goalkeepers on hand are Johnny Albani, last year‘s reâ€" gular, Doug. Hardy and Roger Neilson. Defencemen include Al. McNeil, with the club last year, Bob Duncan, a hardâ€"hitting youngâ€" ster; Bill Humphries of Marlboro midgets, a fine prospect who shaped up nicely at training camp; Doug. Smith and Don Kendall, both very good players. Up front the Dukes should be powerful in every position. Charlie Burns and: Paul. Midghall, exâ€"St. Michael‘s boys, look like they will be stars in the fast "Big Six" company..Bob Butler, with the club last year, is a greatly improved centreâ€"man and will lead many a sizzling attack on the opposition. Sonny LaRose, the Weston lad, continues to impress on the left rail and two other Weston proâ€" ducts, Jack Lawsoh and Jim Shopâ€" shire are daily pleasing the coach. Other forwards who will be on the firing line are Mike Elik, Ross Sneddon, Art Fitkin, Ken Harris and Bob Garner of last year‘s team, Mike Nykaluck, Bill Kenâ€" nedy, Gord. Crasswell, Grant Lougheed, George Raneiri and Norm. Sibbick. Vaughan Juniors Defeat Weston Vaughan Road Juniors, unbeaten champs of the gridiron, smashed through Weston‘s Junior iron men last Friday to emerge on the long end of a 32â€"0 score. Crawford Heritage, Vaughan‘s brilliant young player, â€" threw _ two _ touchdown passes, one to George Penna and one to Bruce Chevalier; scored two majors on end runs and kicked a single. Don McGregor ran 45 yards to score the other TD, and he also kicked the convert. Weston tried to penetrate the solid wall of red, blue and gold many times, but on each occasion they were thrown back by the triâ€" colour team. "Mush" the Alaskan term, is a contraction of the French "marâ€" chons", meaning to go on. TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON Weston got off to a fast start in the first quarter with two touchdowns. Both scores were by passes, from Santo Martini to Wilf Chard and Don Trimble. Marâ€" tini also kicked a single and Chard kicked a convert. The Ironâ€" men appeared to be setting their own pace in the first quarter. They marched downfield consistâ€" ently _ .gainst â€" little opposition. Rather than run the risk of sufferâ€" ing any injuries, the Ironmen setâ€" tled down to a chiefly defensive Weston Beats Vaughan Aggressive All The Way In a senior T.D.I.A/A. contest played Friday, October 10, Weston Collegiate defeated Vaughan Road 12â€"6. The victory now gives the Iron Men a 2â€"1 edge in the season play, The game was played before a large crowd at Weston‘s sun swepts Recreation Centre. Weston‘s Square Dance Group under the leadership of Chairman Alex Dobson and in conjunction with the Weston Recreation Comâ€" mission, is planning another large Hoe Down at RCSCC "Illustrous" on Friday, November 28 and if last year‘s response is repeated, it will be another wonderful night of fun and entertainment for all Square Dancing enthusiasts of Weston and surrounding municiâ€" palities. However, previous to this attraction will be several "preliminary bouts" and a school for those interested in the finer points of this enjoyable pastime, plus square dance calling. This course is made possible by the Weston Recreation Commission in coâ€"operation with Community Proâ€" grammes Branch of the Ontario Department of Education, and has toured the Province with amazing results from both â€" professional dancers and callers right down to the "rawest recruit." So if you are at all interested in the art of dancing in the squares, this is your golden opportunity to obtain the very best of instruction for the nominal fee of "$1.00 which covers one or all four nights at Memorial School, Pine Street and Queen‘s Drive, October 14, 15, 16 and 17. The next regular dance will be held on October 24 at 8.00 p.m. at Memorial School, featuring. once again the rythmic music of the Weston Ramblers who, incidentâ€" ally, are doing a wonderful job for us. And the man behind the microâ€" phone will be "Stan The Man" Keyes, one of the local citizens who has been calling professionally for a good many years. It sure is a treat to watch the ever smiling "Stan" swing into any one of his favourites such as the Texas Star, Dip and Dive, Take a Little Peek, Black and Tan, Grapevine Twist, Bird in the Cage, Down the Middle and Cutt Off Six or the Grand Promenade. Monster Hoeâ€"Down Is Planned At "Illustrious This particular dance will be known as "Council Night" as the Weston Square Dance Committee will be extending personal invitaâ€" tions to Mayor Seagrave and his entire Council body and their wives and families, to be our speâ€" cial guests of the evening. This is your opportunity to see if you Charges that Canada‘s best brains are going to the United States are unfair to the many brilâ€" liant men who remain here, Immiâ€" gration Minister Harris told a Toâ€" ronto group last week, He said he always answers the charge when he hears it with: "That‘s not fair. How about those of us who are left ?" He revealed that although 225 young engineers leave Canada for the United States every year, 238 engineers entered ~Alberta alone last year from south of the border. Mr. Harris said what at first seems to be an annual loss of 25,000 peoâ€" ple to the United States is really only a ~et loss of 9,000. About 10,â€" 000 Americans a year are moving into Canada and about 6,000 formâ€" er Canadians are moving back every year. Border Crossing Not All One Way Says Minister US faith in‘ Canada‘s economic strength should continue for sevâ€" eral years at least, Mr. Harris said. A capital outlay of $5,000,000,000 is expected in Canadian mining, manufacturing and utilities in the next three years as a guarantee that growth will continue. Such business activity, he said, is the best argument for a larger populaâ€" tion. The Canadian Woollen and Knit Goods Manufacturers Association is the largest single section of the vast Canadian primary textile inâ€" dustry, this country‘s leading emâ€" ployer of manufacturing labor. game. â€" Bill Arscott, â€" Vaughan quarterback threw a 10 yard pass to Don Sindry in the end zone for the losers‘ only major score. Arscott â€" also kicked a single point, Don Trimble is a new addition to the injured list. Don is sufferâ€" ing from a fractured arm and is lost to the team for the remainder of the season. His fighting spirit and good team play will be noticeâ€" ably missed. Glenn McGuire saw action last Friday. He has appaâ€" Â¥ently recovered from his shoulder injury. o Weston will play Runnymede on Friday at the Recreation Centre. Local fans can be certain that coach Mel Thompson‘s boys will be at their best. They ean‘t afford to lose a game and still keep the playoffs in sight. can keep step with the Weston Councillors or will it be a case of teaching them a thing or two. After all, your Councilmen > are pretty square shootersâ€"let‘s find out if they are square dancers. Last season Mayor and Mrs. Seaâ€" grave were among our "regulars" and not only showed great interest but displayed the abilities of "old timers" at square dancing. So let‘s all "Honour our Partâ€" ners" and "Salute our Corners" together on October 24 at 8.00 p.m. and don‘t forget our mottoâ€" "Beginners Come First" and that means this could be "your" chance to be ahead of Council for once.
