LIVE BETTER CHEAPER THE LOCKER WAY Congratu 1 aliens Before we go off the deep end in this final column, we would like to congratulate the Spares on winning the Labatt Trophy —and on setting a fine example of sportsmanship for the rest of the league. The Spares and Apple­ jacks were the only teams in the playoffs to abide by the rules set by the league executive. As for the others . . . well, the less said, the better. Trophy donors will probably think twice before passing valuable silver­ ware in the direction of the E.M.B.A. when so little interest is shown in the competition for them. Why bowlers trouble them­ selves to elect an executive if they don’t intend to abide by its decisions we don’t know . , . Awards Three bowlers will collect in­ dividual statuettes for accomplish­ ments during the regular season. Wes Ryckman (Butchers) will be awarded the Jack Smith Cer- tina Watch (besides the usual statuette) for his high single of 386. Rene Francois (Spares) will figure in two awards besides bowling for the championship team. His 903 triple is best in that department average ties that (Windmills). Plyley will also The awards will be presented at a banquet late this month. Apologies This column will wind Up our activities as bowling reporter for the men’s league. We did not de­ vote the time required to do - a thorough job and we apologize for our laxity. One point in our favoi* is that, this year, not one person com­ plained to the editors because of our rambunctious rantings in “Sideline Comments”. We must be losing our touch . . . Our sincere thanks are extend­ ed to Rend Francois, who assist­ ed greatly, and to The Times- Advocate, for abusing their news­ print. One suggestion: Next year we hope there is an award for "the best average bowled by an avid TV viewer”. Ken Hockey and Harold Penhale should win some­ thing . . . May next season be better still! and his 234 of Gord Plyley get an "oscar", Puppet Show Next Week Puppetry, a recreational ac­ tivity that’s becoming quite popular in Ontario, will be de­ monstrated at a program in the Exeter Public School auditorium on Tuesday, May 18.

Mr. Merten has had consider­ able experience in the develop­ ment of this activity in Canada, the British Isles, Europe and Australia.
