Our Thursday evening bingo again was suc- cessful with the best attendance of the year and Comrade Steve Cooke and his associates bingo team were kept busy with the increased attendance. The $200 jackpot prize was split four ways between Irene Flanigan, Celia McNeil, Bertha Gibbs and Eva Boyes. On Friday, our TGIF was again a pleasant evening with many Comrades and friends enjoying the relaxing atmosphere. Bert Gray was the fortunate winner of the first raffle prize and Slim Lacroix went home with the second prize. Reta Robinson was not so fortunate, as her name was drawn for the attendance draw, but she had not registered, so the pot grows for some lucky member in the future.

Russell and Clara Knight have been looking for their three-year-old Border Collie since he mysteriously vanished from their L'urgan Beach home on March 11. The Kincardine News reported that the Russells have been offering a $1,000 reward for in- formation concerning their long-time com- panion. Rover was like Mr. Russell's shadow, his wife said, "He was always right beside him. It's the mystery around the whole thing that bothers us." Rover was a good watch dog, barking whenever someone came on the property. And for Mr. Russell, who is a little hard of hearing, Rover would always bark to let him know when the telephone was ringing. The dog knew the ring, one long and two shorts.
