Bowling Becoming More Popular in
Canada Since Change To Five Pins
The bowling boom is on. Men,
women and children are throng-
ing to the 1,500 bowling alleys
across the country.
Originally a sport for men only,
and usually associated with smoke-
filled billiard halls, bowling has
become a family game. The indus-
try -- for that is what it amounts
to -- eaters particularly to mothers.
In the luxurious lanes of suburbia
there are restaurants, sport shops
and even closed circuit television
so Moni can both bowl and baby.
sit.
Bowling is especially popular in
Canada. It has been estimated that
one in every eight Canadians bowls
at some time each year, and T.F.
Ryan, of Toronto, made it easier
for women to join in the gauze. He
invented five pins.
In 1909 customers at his Toronto
bo'vling club approached Tommy
and asked him to develop a game
that would be faster and one that
their wives could play.
Reduced Number
He and his father, an expert
woodworker, decided to shave a
set of 10 pins down to smaller
size. They reduced the number
of pins to five, added a rubber band
and used a smaller ball. Thus the
most popular game in Canada, five
pins, was born.
In this modern game the ball
travels up and down the lane
at speeds up to 40 miles an hour.
The pinshave to be strong to with-
stand this treatment. Only . the
heart of top quality maple is -used,
and after the pins are shaped, .they
receive four coats of tough durable
industrial finish.
First a coat of sealer is used.
Unique Farm Forum
The Unique Farm Forum met at
the hone of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Merner, on Monday evening, Jan-
uary 9.
The business of farming, "In
the market place," was discussed at
great length. Question No. 1—Do
you fant to see further develop-
ment of: (a) Co-operatives. It was
agreed that co-operative services
should be greatly expanded, espec-
ially in the field of grain market-
ing, and processing of meat pro-
ducts.
(b) marketing boards? It was felt
that we have a number of market-
ing boards at present that are pre-
pared to do an excellent job of
marketing the farmer's products
but a large percentage of the far-
mers apparently do not see fit to
take full advantage of the services
offered by their own organizations.
The meeting showed their appre-
ciation to Mr. and Mrs. Merner in
the usual manner.

Then they are sprayed with three
coats of lacquer. The final touch
is a decal and bright red crown.
These gleaming modern pins
are different from the crude pins
used in the middle ages -- actually
the history of bowling 'goes back
even further, to the Egyptians in
5200 B.C.
Church Game
Medieval churchmen established
a special game. Missives were hur-
led "against sin" which they 're.
presented by pins called "Heidi" or
heathen, set up at one end of their
cloisters.
Parishioners were given a ball
to roll at the heathens. If they
scored a, good hit, they were liv:
ing a cle' n life; if not they had to
attend services more faithfully.
Clothes have always played an
important role. The men's tight
fitting garb in the middle • ages.
often made the game more side=
splitting than they preferred. Cour-
tiers in the 15th century had flow-
ing capes; to add to their handicaps,
and the Butch; who brought the
game with them to Manhattan had
Ito play while dressed in stiff wheel
collars. •
Informality , is the keynote in
the modern game. Abraham Lincoln
helped achieve this. He often re-
moved his coat and played in his
shirt sleeves. Comfort and a cas-
ual air characterize the garb worn
in present Canadian alleys.

Suggested New
Radio Station
The Junior Chamber of Com-
merce at Goderich received a re-
quest for their moral support of
the establishment of a 1,000 watt
radio station in the county town.
James Yarrow, now employed by
Radio Station CHWO Oakville, and
his father, Joseph Yarrow, a Tor-
onto business man made the pro-
posal.
According to a report in the God-
erich Signal -Star last week, if an
application for a license were pre-
sented to the Board of Broadcast
Governors, it would probably be
heard about next J u n e. At
the same time, statements from
other media in the area as to
whether they believed the propos-
al was justified would be heard, it
was pointed out.
It was stated that the proposed
station signal would be heard as
far south as Bayfield, north to
Kincardine and inland to about Sea -
forth. Goderich was mentioned as
first choice for the location of the
station with Clinton . as second.

tion of the station would be expec-
ted primarily from Goderich and
Clinton, Mr. Yarrow said.

Mr. McGregor also quoted the
chairman as having stated that the
Canada department of agriculture
showed little interest in providing
government grade and weight con-
trols for cattle sold on a dressed
weight basis.
The lady director of the feder-
ation, Mrs. Alex McGregor, of Kip-
pen, suggested that to the diff -
due
icult economic situation of farmers,
farm women will be required to
take a heavier load in active farm
operation. Usborne Township dir-
ector, Horace Delbridge, said more
women could attend the county fe-
deration meetings and take more
interest in form problems.

Meet the car that's so much a part of '61. Pontiac—with its
slim, trim, sleek exterior that moves you miles ahead of the
rest in elegance and sensible taste ... a balanced combina-
tion of dignity, prestige and youthful good taste that tells
you that Pontiac is undoubtedly the finest car in its field.
BEET
Here's a car that's soundly engineered from the tires upl
You're cradled in comfort and security because Pontiac's
rugged frame foundation means a lower centre of gravity
for safer driving—smoother handling and cornering. And
Pontiac's superb suspension gives you a jolt -free ride on
any terrain.
Step into a new Pontiac... doors are wider, open farther so
you can slide into luxurious deep foam -cushioned front
seats with greater ease. Seats are higher with all the head-
room, legroom, footroom and shoulder room you could
wish for. Sparkling upholstery excites the admiration of all.
Yet these features barely start to spell out the 'Pontiac
luxury story.

A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE
Critical engineering, quality construction, superior new
materials and finishes combine to make Pontiac a car that
will give you better performance longer .. , with less main»
tenanceand greater gasoline economy. You'll never realize
how much value a car can giveyou until you own a '61 Pontiac.
