o a a Sunday night found the club mem.. bers fairly well scattered. A few were seen on Bay St. where they en- joyed themselves thoroughly. The meeting held last Sunday al... most turned out to be a riot. The boys are planning a hard time or baby party which will be held in the near future. As usual, some mem- bers wanted to walk out before the dues were collected. But a key did the trick. The funniest thing about the collecting of dues is that some pay more than 3 weeks in advance. This is another reason why the de- pression is over. Our Past Pres. Frank Scandiffio introduced "slapping on the fore.. head". This kept up even at the table during the serving of refreshments. Many thanks to the three Raeioppa girls for the enjoyable evening. Other members were spotted go- ing into Renee's house where they indulged in the game of donkey and the winner proved to be Eleonora with Bill running a close second. Amy was spied walking into the Ruf.. fino residence. I wonder if Amy was hooked in as a donkey? Louis Fre- derico must have been the silent one. The affair started off with a few "morra" games. While Ida called her numbers in English, the boys "alled them in Italian. So much for that. The masquerade held last Tuesday turned out to be a success. Costumes for hoboes, prizefighters, cabelleros, clowns, cow-girls, Italian peasants and of the gay nineties were es.. tablished by the crowd. As you all know, Mr. Magi donated two prizes-- to the best dressed boy and girl. The winner of the girl's section was Pearl Racioppa who tried to disguise her- self as a ten-year old girl. Vince Novaco fought his way to victory with the aid of his manager Vie Bagnato. Vince received a beautiful cigarette stand. He posed as Joe Palooka and Vic as Knobby Walsh. The boys have been exhorting me for the past few months to have our col. in "il Bollettino" headed by the names of the officers. Well, here it is for the first time and if possible we will have it in every week. A group of Vanguards attended the dance at the King Edward last Monday. Johnnie Altilia seemed to have forgotten the sucker song. The affair was a success though many people found that the floor was a little shaky. A few of the members will be quite interested in knowing that EL mo Corsini of Hamilkn, an old fri- end to some, is staying in Toronto. e a . Wanted: New Members! Since the inauguration of the fall season, the Circolo Colombo has pro- fited a great deal by a much needed increase in the membership files. We hope this condition continues to exist and that it will enjoy unprecedented success. We urge every club mem- her to be on the lookout for any prospective member. This reminder is meant for those who truly have the most profound faith in the club. The Circolo will, in very short order, have many other attractions to offer its club members other than playing cards, pool and bowling. There will What is the trouble? Is there a reason for it? I doubt it. One fails to understand why the club rooms look so deserted on a Saturday af.. ternoon. No one is ever there to keep Andy company. Why wait for the cold weather to arrive before you decide to drop around on a Saturday afternoon? Right now you could shoot a cannon off and not hit any- one on a Saturday. Let's take a lit.. tle time out to enliven the place up a bit. See you there on Saturday afternoon! a big night. Secure your tickets ear- 1y from any "nember of the house committee. The admission is very reasonable. Only twentydive cents for a night of real enjoyment. Get yours now! Member's Corner be held in the club rooms on Monday November 19th. There will be valu- able prizes given to the winning players at the game of tresette and bridge. We are going to make this Club Stag, Nov. 19th Attention, members!

As the members were not satisfied with Walnut WindshieWs work, four others were chosen to write the "Keyhole" col. Good luck, boys. I don't think you'll find it such an easy job. VANGUARD CHATTER Our publicity tom toms beat their incessant ballyhoo, concerning Van- guards and their red hot scandal. Club members are pleased to note that "Doe" Sansone once again has shown up in the club rooms and trust that he will soon become one of the boys. Incidentally, "Doe" and Dr. M. Scandiffio are at present collabor. ating on a book which deals with women and their ways. It promises to be a very interesting article and we hope that the boys will favor us with the first installment very short.. ly. I am positive that it is going to be a literary treat. . .. Members, we have got to do away with the audien- ces that are congregated about the card tables while the game of bridge is in progress. I have mentioned be.. fore that it does more harm to the game than good. We are satisfied to see that bridge has so many "side line" fans but it behooves us deeply to know that this self-same group is causing the game to suffer oblivion... We have often wondered why Jimmy Motta never plays bridge in the club. He knows the game well enough but why doesn't he p1ay?. ., The Circoio was pleased to have Gav. Tiberi, the Italian Vice Consul as its honored guest last week and hopes that he will again honor the club with his presence. Incidentally, the R. V. C. plays a good hand of bridge. no. I noticed Joe dancing with a pret- ty petite blonde at our Ha1lowe'en social. He was going along so drs amily that I eouldn't resist asking him what he was thinking about. Hrs answered..

Judging by the interest shown at Joe Garbarino'g home on Friday last, this enthusiastic group of workers are safely predicting a more prosperous season for the Cir- eolo than ever before. q . .

They whistle and honk so loud that the executive hasn't a chance (to sleep themselves). It that fair, boys? . o . We're getting organized. Every member is something - maybe you didn't know it but they are. What I mean is that we've got about a dozen committees such as sports, enterta.. inment, publicity, dramatics, and last but not least, the house committee, whose task is to wash dishes, etc. . . . Added Attraction: In orderto Pla.. ce a few remaining members on a committee, Charlie suggested a com- mittee of bouncers, but this was re- jected, overruled, thrown out and forgotten by all members except those not present. Woe is me. I . . Lui Frederico cut in on Jimmie Saccoccio while he was happily waltzing with a certain Sodality girl. 'You should have seen the sad look ion his face. A couple of the members took Don to a certain girl's home. First he turned pink, then red, then--(any color, boys). Anyhow, we haven't seen hide nor hair of him since. He even skipped our social. Thanks! Simply a word of thanks to the many Italian and, of course, Cana.. dian parishioners who attended the memorial services on Sunday last. It was a pleasure to witness such a large attendance. The club members, as usual, swelled the attending num- her considerably. Were it not for the fact that Father Auad had won.. derful competition from a couple of youngsters, I am certain the service would have been more solemn.

This affair is being sponsored by the members of the house committee who, with their res- pective lads-friends, will assemble at the club to bowl a game or two, then adjourn to the upper floor of the club for light refreshments, fol- lowed by dancing. To me, it seems a novel idea for whooping things up around the club on Saturdays. How- ever, do not be mistaken and let me caution you thusly. This mixed-bow- ling social is open to all club mem- bers and their friends. It is not con.. fined to the house committee alone. The idea is theirs. The enjoyment of the idea is yours.

Publicity Committee. BOLLETTINQ At the Dance Good time, you say? I'll say I said a good time! If you were at the Combattenti dance on Monday, No- 'vember 5th, you should know what I 'am alluding to. Suffice it to say that, as the inaugural ball of the social season, it was rewarded with splendid success. It seemed as tho.. ugh the entire colony had assembled at this wonderful affair. That, in it- self, sounds very encouraging and positively not farufetehed. True to my prediction, the dance floor was simply jammed with pretty damsels sporting milady's latest mode in evening wear. Enough said concern- ing the women. It is only fitting and proper that I rally to the defence of the male sex. I might mention that many of the boys have forsaken the informal blue serge suit for the more or less appropriate tuxedo. Still, as a point of contention, the tuxedo is not truly appropriate for evening wear. It was at one time. Now it is supplanted by tails. However, we are not all destined to be members of the Four Hundred and as a reassuring thought, I should like to say that I approve more of the tuxedo. So keep on wearing them, boys, for that is what I have to do. . q . Bridge and Scopa Monday The second bridge and scopa soci- al of the season will be held at the Circolo Colombo on Monday night, .November 12th. A large crowd is iexpected due to the fact that the iinitial card party is proving to be " wonderful press agent. In simpler expregsion, it is speaking for itself. The prizes will be of the same excel... lent and admirable quality as those presented the first winners. Every- one is invited to attend these socials in as much as they are priceless when one considers the amount of friendship and good will they sti- mulate amongst the many eolonial- ites. One item requiring emphasis is this, the committee desires that all who intend being present on Monday should be there early in order that play can commence at 9 P. M. sharp. This will help to shorten the evening considerably, thereby meeting with. great approval from the majority of players who, needless to say, require a good night's rest to fulfill their tasks, business or otherwise, the fol.. lowing day. U. of T. Frat Initiates and Bowl As I mentioned in the last issue that I was invited to attend the U. of T. Fratellanza initiation, my best possible move at present is to des.. cribe the event in all its entirety, glory and what have you! The Cireolo Colombo Toms were used for this gruesome ordeal. (I say gruesome because it will enable you to widen the scope of your ho- rizon and that is exactly the narcel I'm after). The lights are dim-they usually are. The high potentates of some- thing or other are clustered about the main portals of this room so filled with surprises. They are on hand to usher each prospective mem.. ber to the other something or other for preliminary eross..examination. When this has been completed, well then the fun begins! First comes medical inspection which, in your language and mine, simply means that each poor lad was actually lit.. tered with three-inch adhesive Plas- Back again! Back, - yes; but with the hope that I do not have to rack my brains in order to give you a fair-sized column to read. If I fail to do so (for I know not what I am going to write) then it is due to the lack of events. (Gee, I hope they ac- cept that excuse!) However, bottoms up! Let's go! ' Congrats! We congratulate Tommy Scandif- fio, popular young colonialite and prominent amateur' athlete in local circles, for his newly acquired post. Tommy was elected vice-president for the second year art students at St. Miehael's College and is the ack- nowledged representative of the day scholars on the Student Council. Tommy is very much taken up with his work and, should he continue in the future as he has done in the past, we are due to expect many achieve.. ments of him.
