DALEY'S WEEKLY COMMENTS By SID DALEY Wow, did we have a time at l3ranch 540's first mixed bowling Sunday, January 20. Over 40 members turned out, The en- thusiasm seemed to grow with every ball thrown, Pin sure somebody must be stiffer than I am. The pot luck dinner which followed was just out of this world, there was more variety than you would find at a smorgasbord in the big city to the south of us. I. judge there was enough left over to feed as many again. Incidentally the winner of the womens high score, only two games played, was Mary Cronyn with 350, men's high Angus Murray 462, and the winners of the crying towels were Lena Juergins and Lawrence Hirtzel whose scores we will keep secret. The response was so great, by popular demand, it was decided to hold a second mixed bowling on Sunday, February 25, Keep this date open you will be happy you did. Man, did 540 ever take a trimming at the hands of our Exeter Comrades at the first challenge dart match held in Lucan, Saturday. Kind of reminds a person of recent boxing match, I reckon we un- derestimated our Exeter coun- terparts.

At least one minor and one major engine tune-up a year is a necessity. Accident investigators want states to adopt tougher motor vehicle inspection laws, and give police authority to ban unsafe cars from the road. It is not a good idea to warm up the engine for five minutes before driving in cold weather. An idling engine does little work, and lakes longer to reach its operating temperature.
