highly polished and super -
smooth, the four alleys at Zurich
Bowling Lanes represents an in-
vestment of over $20,000.
Each contains over half -a -mile
of maple and pine and some 8,000
nails and is the result of hundreds
of hours of work by veteran crafts-
men and skilled technicians.
At Brunswick of Canada's Dixie
plant specially treated wood for
the Zurich Bowling Lanes, was
first cut to tongue and groove
form. Sections one and one eighth
inches wide and two and three-
quarter inches deep were then fit-
ted together with the open grain
edge uppermost for superior
strength,
The half -a -mile of wood in each
lane weighs more than 3000 pounds
and consists of 1582 feet of pine. A
hard, tough wood, maple is used
at both ends of the lane where At
has to withstand the impact of the
bowling ball and flying pins, In
the middle of the lanes the open
grain of the pine holds the spin-
ning ball toits straight or curving
path. It gives the bowler the con-
trol needed for accurate shots and
high scores.
Like those of tennis courts and
hockey rinks, the dimensions and
surface of a bowling lane must con-
form to specifications laid down
by an organization that governs the
bowl-
inggame. lanes eare ethoset of thions e A.meri-

can Bowling congress which su-
pervises all international bowling
tournaments,
They require the overall bed
length -- from foul line to pit edge
—, to be 62 feet and 10 and three
sixteenths of an inch. The width
of the Mane has to be at least 11,1
inches but not more than 42. Fin-
ally the surface of the lane must
be free of any depression, groove
high spot or tilt in excess of forty
one -thousandths of an inch.
Thousands of falling balls and
crashing pins will subject the lanes
to rough treatment during the
1960-61 season. Good materials and
sound construction, however, will
enable them to take it and al-
ways provide each bowler with a;
perfect playing surface.
During the last five years' the
number of bowling lanes in the
country has more than doubled.
Thousands of new fans have ta-
ken up the sport -- for fun, re-
la Cation and healthful exercise.
It; is estimated that one out of
every 12 Canadians now bowls and
that 17,000 lranes. are now in use
in Canadian centres.
To meet the increased demand
for bowling products, Brunswick
of Canada, the company which eq-
uipped the Zurich Bowling Lanes,
opened a new $2,000,000 plant and
head office building in Dixie early
in 1960, The company is Canada's
largest supplier of bowling equip-
ment and source of 75 per cent of
the new lanes, bowling pins, au-
tomatic pinsetters and other pro-
ducts put into, Canadian bowling
establishments. Its business vol-
'ume this year is expected to be
double that of 1959 and more than
four times the total volume in
1957.
