Op -Tom's report .Spring recreation events scheduled Tom Lessard Optimist There's plenty of parking available at the Stephen Township Arena for the first time in many months. With the hockey and skating season at an end local shoppers will appreciate the fact that they won't have to carry their purchases nearly as far as they did during the winter. Did you take in the Hughes -Columbia open -h- ouse on the weekend? If so I'm sure you enjoyed the opportunity to view the excellent workmanship and beauty of the craft built by your friends and neighbors. A good number of people were in evidence. Owner Howard Hughes and his people can be proud of all they have done for this community. The Optimist clubs in North America will be holding a Respect For Law week from May 1 to the 7. While the majority of citizens do, there are still a number who get carried away and act with no con- sideration for others. Even though we live in what is termed a free society, we are still plagued with crime. How do we control or prevent this? To start with we could put more emphasis on looking after our own property by locking everything up. This is generally accepted as keeping out the honest people. Don't turn your head to crime. Too many people are afraid to get involved. I certainly don't mean that you are to act alone and try to apprehend a criminal but you should get involved with your community law en- forcement officers, local clubs and your neighbors and try to make your communities safe for your families. A good sized crowd turned out for our club bingo last Thursday night. Marion Clipperton was the jockpot winner in 52 numbers. This low number brought about many moans and goons from the bingo buffs. Marion is from London but manages to attend the majority of our bingos. Thenext bingo will be held on April 23. You can't win if you don't attend. Kids Saturday bowling has come to an end. It's been a good winter for the little ones. All that's left is to have a party. This will be held on Saturday the 25th at the Optimist Hall. All children who participated are invited to attend along with their parents. There will be hot dogs and refreshments along with a presentation of trophies. Thanks to the adults who turned out faith- fully every week at 9 a.m. and also the kids who braved the elements in an effort to have some fun. What are you going to do now that winter is over? Sort of a stupid question to ask Mrs. Ida Smith, Crediton will celebrate her 89th birthday on April 23. Mr. Max Turnbull will be 90. years old on April 20. ktreememommonown Hints to married men: Since all you guys say that you wear the pants in your family, we suggest that you protect them by wearing an apron while doing the dishes. isn't it? Your going to, get ready for a summer of warm weather and fun. Many of us will be spending the summer away from the local com- munities visiting friends and relatives or camping. For those of us who are staying behind there will be plenty of sports and ac- tivities to keep us occupied. Baseball, soccer, swimming, bar-b-ques, lawn parties, dances, fairs and many other pleasantries will be offered for your enjoyment. Keep an eye on the T -A for times dates and locations. Have a safe and happy summer. On the 26th of this month the Optimists, Les Pines and the Dashwood Hotel dart teams are going to do battle at the Dashwood Hotel. If you wish to participate on one of the teams contact the following; Optimists (Tom Lessard), Les Pines (Terry Price), and Dashwood (Doug Johnson). An Optimist is a guy who marries his secretary and expects to continue dic- tating. A story taken from the Optimist Magazine is relevant to youngsters participating in sports. It reads ' Dear Parents and Fans— Well here is another playoff season, So, I am writing to you for just one reason. Please don't scream, or curse, or yell, Remember I am not in the N.H.L. I am only ten years old, An can't be bought or traded or sold. I am not looking for hockey fame, I just want to have fun and play the game. Please don't make me feel I've committed a sin, Because sometimes my team doesn't win. I don't want to be that great you see. i 1 I'd rather play and just be me. And so, in closing I'd like to give you one tip, Remember the name of the game is SPORTSMANSHIP! The club needs a working fridge for the hall. If you have an extra one that you don't know what to do with, we'd appreciate your donation. Remember, You always win if you lose with a smile.
