I guess all hope of catching them now is gone. We'll just have to practise up for the playoffs. The Orioles are in second place with 59, the Budgies and Canaries have 56, the Robins have 51 and the Bluejays have 41. Joyce Hodgins had the high single of 268 and Louise Wel- wood had the high triple of 645. 0--0--0 THURSDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Although we still have one week of regular bowling left, tw.o_4inal decisions were made. Maus Meeces have come upon topV°ith a total of 105 and Hap's Happy Gang with 69 points are on the bottom. Ian's Idiots have 94 points in second place. Wayne's Woofers and Mac's Mules are still tied with 90 while Bill's Boobs moved up seven points for a total of 77. Ladies high single and triple of 326 and 784 were bowled by Gwen MacLaurin. Bill Edwards bowled 370 and 810 for men's high single and triple. 0--0--0 COMMERCIAL LEAGUE Well, they said they were going to do it, and they did. Of course, I am referring to the Beavers. They went all out for our first playoff game and came through with the high score for the night. Things started out so quietly, I thought perhaps everyone was really getting too serious about the game, but it wasn't long be- fore the alley resounded with the usual shouts of "Get that counter, Isobel; Tough luck, Harold, should have been a strike. You were robbed, Gary. Who put the gum on that coun- ter pin?" etc. etc. Team standings at the end of the first playoff game are: Beavers 3080; Lions 2969;Wild- cats 2952; Tigers 2839; Cougars 2773; Seals 2650. Seems to me these are about the lowest scores handed in all year. Congratulations to Shirley Storey, Maxine Taylor and Frank Burke who all celebrated birthdays this week. 0--0--0 WEDNESDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE The final standings for this year are as follows: Kats 121; Tigers 97;Packers 87;Rovers 77; Hawks 76 and Larks 67. Playoffs start next Wednesday. The men's high single and triple went to Ken Saxton with a 305 and 822. Verna Ellis and Marion Maclntyre tied for high single for the ladies, with 223 and Dorothy Turner took the high triple with 558. Special thanks to Hugh Mun- dell, Sharon Edwards, Dorothy Cameron (?), Francis Merkley and an extra special thank you to Vic Loughlean for his efforts on behalf of the Larks. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Walter and Hilda Brown for the trophy they donated to the Wednesday Night Mixed League, to be pre- sented to the captain of the win ning tears in the playoffs. This trophy is on display at the Wing. ham Advance -Times. DON'T BE HASTY Many countries have been having problems with over- crowded hospitals. For example, there's the story of the man who had been on the waiting list for an appendicitis operation for five years. Finally he got some action: a card from the hospital asking him if he was "still inter- ested".

It was re- viewed last week on "Holly- wood and the Stars". Though some of their producers often were carried away with their acres of studio, their mountains of props, multitudes of gorgeous showgirls, and truckloads of feathers and sparkling costumes, they were great motion pictures and inexpensive to make when compared with today's budgets. Many, too, were every bit as special as some on which they are spending up to twenty or thirty million dollars today. During two and a half decades, from the time Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire galloped across the stage in their first of many pictures, to the days of Doris Day and Gordon MacKrae and a dancing starlet named Debbie Reynolds, these films were, as 'Holly'd and the Stars' narrator Joseph Cotten pointed out, a retreat into the world of make- believe, for the entire family.., In these days, though Hollywood studios release some excellent productions, you must clearly understand the subject matter of a movie before taking Junior to see it. And this leaves poor Junior seeing only a small per- centage of today's screen enter- tainment. Musicals are now limited to about one or two a year, and must be extravagan- zas --which have you leaving the theatre with bright blotches of colour before your eyes, singing eighteen different songs that were introduced in the mo- vie, and dancing two hundred different steps. European movie -makers are mainly to blame for the change. They invaded American movie houses with Brigette Bardot and her towel, dug up topics that had only been whispered about at cocktail parties, and when the shock had worn off, Holly- wood found itself losing influ- ence and the title of 'the movie capital of the world'. In order to remain in the business, Holly'd producers were forced to match the Continental brains scandal for scandal, controversy for controversy. So out went the light, fluffy, fun -filled music- als, and in came the "admit- tance restricted" shockers which instead of brightening our even- ing, often only reminded us of our troubles. But this is progress, I suppose, and if it has done nothing else, it has kept Holly- wood on the map. Watching last week's segments of old Mo- vies, though, made us realize vow tee just how wonderful these music- als were and how much we miss them. 0--0--0 Oscar night will be over by the time you read this and the winners rejoicing and the losers crying in their beers!

Perhaps this may have been a reason for some members of the Aca- demy, cademy, but the main reason she was passed by, was bitterness and a desire to "get even" with Jack Warner because he did not give the role to July An- drews. So Hepburn's voice was dubbed; are they giving the awards for singing now?? I won- der then why Marni Nixon was not considered! She's the little canary who did the chirping, you know. She hasn't been men tioned much until this year, but she's been in the business for a long time. She sang for Deborah Kerr in " The King And I" and for Natalie Wood in "West Side Story". And you probably remember that Gogi Grant sang for Ann Blyth in "the Helen Morgan Story" and Loulie Jean Norman lent her beautiful voice to Dorothy Dan- dridge for "Porgy and Bess". In fact, we could go on all night! These gals have a nice thing going for them, so long as they don't want fame or publicity. They receive as much as $10, - 000 for each picture they 'sing', but their names are not includ- ed in the list of credits, nor on the sound -track recording. And if they blab it all over town, they've had it! In other words, Marni Nixon, after all the 'My Fair Lady' publicity, has pretty well had the course for movie - background singing. But she should worry; with her voice, she can be a star on her own! 0--0--0 "Telescope" this week, the 9th at 9:30, will feature a trib- ute to the late U.S. President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, on the 20th anniversary of his death.

THE LONGEST FEUD The longest and moat unique feud in history was between Oxford University and a certain Henry Symeonis (Simmons). For six hundred years, all undergraduates at Oxford as- piring to a R.A.degree were forced, before the degree was granted, to swear that they would not consent to allowing Symeonis "to reside peaceably" in the city of Oxford. The feud had its beginning in 1242,' approximately, when Symeonis in the first historic "town and { gown" row, killed a student and fled into exile. For six centuries thereafter the univer- sity demanded of prospective baccalaureates that they swear Ito keep Henry Symeonis out of a Oxford. It is not recorded whether or not his ghost tried Ito re-enter the city after his death. 1964 MERCURY MONTCLAIR 2 -DOOR HARDTOP, automatic, 390 motor, power brakes, power steering and radio, Demonstrator. 1963 FORD GALAXIE 4 -DOOR, 6, Automatic, Radio. 1963 PONTIAC STRATO CHIEF, 4 door, 6 cylinder, automatic, radio. 1963 4 -DOOR IMPALA HARDTOP A real beauty, completely equipped. 1963 CHEVROLET BEL AIR, 4 door, 6 cylinder, standard, radio. 1963 CHEVROLET STATION WAGON 4 -DOOR, 6 Stnd. 1962 FORD FAIRLANE 500 8 Stnd., Radio, 4 -Door. 1961 METEOR Station Wagon 6 AUTO., radio. 1961 CHEV.
