BOWLING REVIVED
Y
Local Bonspiel Well Contested
on Friday
Some, few days or nights ago, eve
might say many, would have said thee
bowling on the geen was a bygone
pastime, at Winghain, however a local
bonspiel was pulled off on Friday and
three greens were busy all afternoon
arid well on into the next morning.
The only reason that the fourth green
was not used was a scarcity of bowls.
In fact the Friday bonspiel was such
a success that it was decided to hold
another similar bonspiel this week,
and we believe in will be carried out
plazed Payple out in the counthry this on Wednesday, even though many will

•To -day we have a duty to perform,
but such a pleasant duty, It is to
welcome back to the old school the
brother, sister, friend or playmate.
In many cases the home fires have
been kept burning for a long, long
period in order to cheer the wander-
er on his returin -The light has been
constantly shilling from the window
to direct your course to the home
harbour. You will agree witlu the
poet when he says:
"Mid pleasures and palaces though we
may- roam,
Be it ever so humble there's no place
like home,"
But today you are again a scholar
attending the school which through
the years is still dear to you, You
travel back in fancy to the old, nev-
er -to -be -forgotten days when you
went with weary steps to school, and
then with lighter heart and quicker
step went home aftee four. Can you
recall the master or mistress? Can
you see again the rows of desks and
the pupils behind them? Can you see
the faces of those who have gone on
their last long journey and thinking
of them do you realize the sacredness
of this fiftieth anniversary as well as
the joy of our meeting?
Every anniversary is a time in
which we review the past and look

Let Us Know the News
Many people seem to have the idea
that the local paper is only for the
publication of social and person items
and when an event of importance
takes place they fail to "tip off" the
editor, who is sometimes unaware
that anything has taken place. When
a newspaper is giving it, columns to
the interest and welfare of a commun-
ity, those serving it should at least
try and see that the public, who are
interested get a small inkling of what
is being done and the only way the
public can get the news is through
the local paper. A call on the tele-
phone, a word in passing, is all that is
necessary to put the newspaperman
wise to any event of the day. He
daes not gel out a paper on mere
heresay and gossip.
