Turkey Winners Nine bowlers will get an 11- pound turkey each for 50 cents, the lucky nine being this year's winners in the men’s league an­ nual turkey roll. Actually, 12 howlers figured in the winning but five are tied for the hidden score of 510. Two birds were allotted for this un­ usual situation. Ken Hockey, of the Big Six, copped a gobbler for his high triple of 7 89, Ken, who is always a great competition bowler, played safe this year. In case his triple of 789 was beaten, he could fall back on his single of 325. This is, without a doubt, Hoc­ key’s lucky year. In his lawn bowling activities Ken figured in the winning of three trophys, a radio, a hostess chair, three sport shirts, a sport jacket and two blankets. Gord Plyley, of the Windmills, won a bird with his single of 305. Two hidden scores were drawn in the 600s.
