Bowling .0n.
The Green
(By Bill Hart)
If life to you is just a grind
Of duties to be done;
if you have lost Viet -friends and find
No appetite for fun;
If you have , wished and longed' and
prayed
To leave this earthly scene;
It simply means you've never played
At bowling on the green!
-Dugald MacCallum, President,
American Lawn Bowling Association
(Eastern Division),"
A couple of weeks ago we mention-
ed George Newman and how. he got.
over his arthritis by simply joining
the bowling club and enjoying a fuli
summer of fun. We have bad quite n
bit o1' kidrling about that article, and
we were asked if' (George helped hie
wife do the fall housecleaning, Well.
George got ovet• his arthritis all righr
and he trould have been able to ha •e
helped with the cleaning. but 'there
was a flitch in the plans. George
just remembered that h.e....ha.d. promis-
ed some of the fellows to go on a
fishing trip. Of course You can't do
both, so George kept his promise and
went fishing. On the way to the fish-
ing grounds he felt sorry for Mrs,
George when he thought
g of her mov-
ing the chesterfield all by herself.
"Anyways," said George to himself,
"I couldn't have beaten the rugs, be-
cause that bothers my asthma,"

Did you hear about the bowlers
that set out to peel the potatoes for
the ladies' day supper. It • seems
Smitty set Lorne Dale, W, J. Duncan
and M. A. Reid out a bag of pota-
tofe P and They
told them to peel a couple
o
peeled and peeled,
and peeled and peeled, and would cer-
tainly have bad the whole bag gone
if Smitty hadn't come in around 12
o'clock and stopped them, Lorne
thought Smitty said a couple of bush-
els. We think Bev. Christie peeled
