Weston Ladies Lawn Bowling Club Column Spring bas sprung. The grass has ‘riz. I wonder where alf the flowers is. Howeyer, let‘s not bother about that just now. ‘Tis the grass we are mainly conâ€" cerned with, a particular piece of grass. Grass which we have nursed and nourished and will keep barbered to perfection. In return for which we expect strength, tremendous strength, strength sufficient to withstand the constant tread of many feet. Vol. 65, No. 22 Where is this grass I am talking about? Why, right here in your own home town. It belongs to the Weston Lawn Bowling Club. Now don‘t tell me you don‘t know where the Bowling Green is. Then it‘s jolly well time you did. It is right off the main drag, in the centre of a block, directly north of the Public Utilities Building. And # has been there for nearly half a century. 1 have often wondered, perâ€" haps you can tell me, what happens to all the indoor bowlâ€" ers in the good old summer time? Surely all of them havâ€" en‘t the means or the transporâ€" tation facilities for golf. Surely all of them don‘t go away for fourâ€"month vacations. Then why Mt. Dennis W# seems to me that time flies se fast these days that 1 can almost feel a constant breeze in my office, just from the action of tearing the pages off the calendar! hk haven‘t done se But seriously, the seasons do hove such a way of flitting by thot I asuspect there are some housewives here in town who haven‘t got around to â€" storing their BR winter b l a n k et s fi%’ properly . since their Aji( families . quit . using WMRRE them in the spring. t Now _ that‘s . n e %’ mortal sin, of course, WOA but it is more econâ€" MJ omical to give them sorhe proper attenâ€" m tion, and if you haven‘t done so already this year, better late than never. Te have your blankets all ready for that first chilly outumn evenâ€" ing, you should have them cleaned and mothâ€"proofed. If you‘re lucky enough to have‘ blankets that have been . treated by the manufacturer with one of those durable type mothâ€" proofing | treatments, part . ofâ€" your problem . Is â€" automatically solved. Even so, you‘ll still want to have your blankets cleaned. We‘re particularly proud of the work we can do here at our plant, not enly in the actual cleaning of blankets, but also in mothâ€"proofing, for which we have the‘ most upâ€"toâ€" date methods and equipment. 1 don‘t think moths have become any more vicous in recent years, though they‘ve certainly not become any better behaved, either; but in the meanwhile scientists who specialâ€" ize In studying moths and other inâ€" sect pestsâ€"have come up with some amazingly . effective . moth â€" procfing methods. Nowadays, there‘s no reason why anyone should have to put up with the sort of moth damage that was difficult to combat even 10 or 15 years ago.

Do they consider it too tame a form of recreaâ€" tion; perhaps, something suitâ€" able only for old age? If so, all we ask is that they try it, just try it. ‘Tis a game of skill, as they‘ll soon discover for themâ€" selves.

Extensive discussion revolved around operation with| | respect to the physical layout, |and to the procedures peculiar ‘rto North York. ‘ Recreation Talk Organized _ and directed by Miss Jean MacNeill, of the recâ€" reation staff and in charge of playgrounds, the evening was one of a number provided as a preliminary _ to _ the training course at McMaster University, operated from June 25 to June 29 by the Central Zone of the Recreation Directors Federation of Ontario, and to the course to be provided in North York, late ‘in June, for those leaders unable ‘to go to McMaster. The leaders then divided into small discussion groups, and conâ€" sidered such ‘areas of playâ€" grounding as "preparing for the first playground day," rainy day programmes, special eevnts on the playground," and "public relations and publicity techâ€" niques". The reportâ€"backs of reâ€" corders indicated an abundance of valuable, and thoughtful disâ€" cussion, and reflected the abiliâ€" ties of cants. Gord Hutchinson, of the recâ€" reation staff, showed, and comâ€" mented on, a coloured film of last summer‘s playground proâ€" gramme. Sessions such as this, and the others outlined are provided in order that North York, along with other Metropolitan and surâ€" rounding municipalities, should offer the very best possible in p l a y g ro u n d programming through the most qualified of leadership.

In part of this very interesting writeâ€"up, he states, "Of what benefit would a course be to the children, and young people, of our schools?" He thinks i would teach them logic, foi reasoning is a necessity in Chess. Also â€" mathematics, for each move has to be calculated ahead. Then selfâ€"reliance, for in chess you are on your own, and can receive no outside help, and so it develops independence. Paâ€" tience is important and essenâ€" tial, and with c@ution goes hand in hand. It covers appreciation of art; development of memory and courtesy with good sportsâ€" ‘manship. and art oi winning ‘and losing gracefully. Paul Vaitonis, past Canadian Chess Champion, and living in Hamilton, has again retained the Championship of that City. His score was 10 wins and no losses. We congratulate Roy Orlando who has at long last gained the Toronto Chess Club Champâ€" ionship. Roy‘s score was 5â€"1. Below we give a game playâ€" ed in Nuremberg, August 7th 1896.

Do you know, for instance, what it really means when your | tires squeal? You‘ll probably _ say "Tires squeal when you go around a corner too fast." That‘s true, but there are lots of other ways to make tires squeal. It‘s bad for tires because it means they‘re sliding against the direction of the tread. Underâ€"inflation, rough roads and such unwise practices as applying the brakes around a corner all lead to squealing. Speed is bad for tires, and not just because the tire is moving faster. High speeds make the tire walls flex more and this movement produces heat. The heat softens the rubber, and soft rubber will grind off like an eraser. I‘ve written quite a bit in these columns about tires, because they‘re one of our major concerns when a used car comes on to the lot. A used car that won‘t need tires for many months is obviously a good buy and I llwayg‘ make sure all our cars are good buys. t Don‘t forget to look over the tires when you‘re shopâ€" ping for a car, and don‘t forget to take care of them once you have the car. In Râ€"Ri By Jack Pink There‘s more than one way to skin a cat â€" or to skin the rubber right off your tires, too. The average motorist can get 20,000 miles of wear from a set of tires, but a bad driver can wear them out in 10,000 miles. A really expert driver can make tires last for 30,000 miles or LISTEN TO Pink Motors MORNING NEWS Each Week Day at 6 a. m. John Bradshaw over CFRB y Enjoy A amOSt REWEE .. . | _ Glendgle 0.K.
