workout for
some parents
A lot off parents were ruefully,
forecasting sore muscles as their'
reward for taking part in
bowling tournament last week
that matched them up with
partners less than half their age
(much less in ,many cases). It
wasn't easy tq keep up.
The event was the annual
Family Twosome tournament of
the Youth Bowling Council,
matching up mothers and fathers
with sons or daughters in
Bantam, Junior or Senior divi-
sions.
The tournament began Dec. 20
and resumed Dec. 26 and 27 as the
large variety of combinations
yielded no less than 11 groups off
competitors.
Winners Dec. 20 were Jan and
Shirley Shorey in the Senior
mother -daughter 'group, Kim and
Don Rae in the Junior father -
daughter, Michele and Frank
Heard in the Bantam father -
daughter, Donna and Dorothy
Thompson in the Junior mother -
daughter and Andrea and Shirley
Walker in the Bantam mother -
daughter.
The tournament can be a real
experience for some parents who
only dust .off their bowling shoes
Once a year, Mrs. Earl Young of
Wingham Bowling Lanes said.
She ,fondly recalled one father
last year who found himself part-
nered with both a son and a
daughter. "We almost had to
carry him out of here," she said.
