A'Calling
If Santa Claus should stumble
As he elimbs the chimney wall
With all the ice upon it,
I’m afraid he’d have a fall
And smash himself to pieces . . ,
To say nothing of the toys!
Oh what sadness that would bring
To all you girls and boys.
So I’m going to write a note
And pin it on the gate;
I’ll write it large -so he can see
No matter if it’s late.
I’ll say: “Dear Mr. Santa Clans—
Don't climb the roof tonight!
Just walk right in, the door’s unlocked,
My room is on the right!”

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 bowlers 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 789. 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. Har Brintnell (Pin
poppers) was closest to 698 with
his 700 and Dick Jermyn (Whizz
Bangs) was closest to 664 with
667.
Both numbers were low in the
500s—510 and 502. Bob Ellering-
ton (Strikes) and Ray Smith
(Spare Parts) had 511, while
Doug Hughson (Strikes), Cal
Cutting (Long Shots) and Lome
Preszcator (Mess Mates) had 509.
Bob Ellerington and Doug Hugh
son won the turkeys when the
tie was bowled off Monday night.
Another member of the Strikes,
David Armstrong, won a bird
with his triple of 500, closest to
502.
•Bill Vyse (Short Circuits) was
closest to 469 with 466 and Roy
Hunter (Long Shots) had 425,
closest to the hidden score of
426.
Laurels Department
Team of the Week;
Bend with 3,168 without
cap.
Bowler of the Week:
Hughson of the Strixes with 829
(295).
Luckiest Team of the Week:
The Strikes—17 points and three
turkeys.
Capsule Comment
That turkey the Old War Horse
won will probably add more fea
thers to his cap . . .
Bowl Again January 4
Bowling is finished
January 4. However,
will be open for casual bowling,
excepting Christmas and New
Year’s holidays. .
To all bowlers we wish the
merriest of Christmases and ■ the
happiest New Year ever!
VICTORY SMILE — Ken Hockey
claimed top prize in the five-pin
