Captain Stan Frayne led the half dozen with 688 (271) and Bob Nicol was high for the fading ’Poppers with 639 (295).

He won the Jack Smith Bulova watch for his high single last year, which makes him inelegible this year, but, none the less, it’s in the book. Moreover, it is scores like that that have been winning points for the Spares. Look Good In Totals In the total pins department, too, the Spares are unequalled. They have a total 15 games.

Ken was the centre of interest as he bowled 582 for the Big Six Monday night. But most of the onlookers were a trifle perplexed. To those poor souls, we'd like to explain that Ken’s „ "new” bowling technique was not with him Monday night. It must have been sleeping the afternoon away in a chesterfield ‘at the store, getting rested up for the battle against the Pinpoppers. Ken probably locked up and came to the alleys without it. Or maybe it was home in another pair of pants. We don’t know . . , We do know his "old” bowling technique is not for sale. fans pulling for them are next-of-kin.

District Couple Married 60 Years On November 9, 1892, William Moodie and Mary Agnes Kydd, both of Usborne Town ship, were united in marriage by the late Dr. Fletcher, who for so many years was the minister of the Thames Road Presbyter ian, now United Church. On No vember’ 9 of this year their diamond wedding anniversary was quietly celebrated at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Margaret .Fletcher, of town. Mr. Moodie, now in his eighty seventh year, was born on the Orkney Islands, Scotland, and as an, orphan boy at the age of |16 he left home with the intention of going to Australia, as the gold rush was on at that time. When he arrived at the port of embarkation he found that he had not sufficient funds to take him to Australia and he sailed for Canada little knowing where he would land- On his way over he remembered having posted letters for ’ ' " ' '' Duncan at Landing practically his way to at a hotel, and dejected,, the hotel-keeper, Rd, Cathcart, asked if there was anything wrong. Mr. Moodie enquired if he knew of a family in the neighborhood by the name of .Duncan. "Sandy Duncan, do you“ mean?” asked the hotel keeper. "Yes, I believe that is the name” said young Moodie. "He left here only a short time ago” said the host. The hotel keeper ordered the hostler to hitch up a team of horses and drive Mr, Moodie to a farm near Kirkton. There he was united with his mother’s sister, Mrs. Duncan, and he found himself among relatives and friends. To Mr. Moodie his disappointment at not going- to Australia and of coming to Canada and finding relatives looked guidance.
