Couhucl To Fix Name Signs At Doth Entrances to Town, To Seil Hospital Debentures Kinsmen Hold First Meeting of New Section Bowmanville Kinsmen- held their first meeting of the 1950-51 season at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sep- tember 5th, at the Balmoral Ho- tel. Because the meeting was something ai an intial get-to-geth- er, the programn was shiort and did not include a guest speaker. Pre- sident Jack Lander was in the, chair. Don McKinnan of the Boys' Training Sehool, as guest of John Graham, entertained Kinsmen with several cowboy songs. He accompanied himself on a guitar. "I'm throwin' rice at the girl that I love, after she. just said 'I do,'" was the initial presenta- tien and a sang entitled "Wed- ding Beils" followed. Theyouth- fui musician alsa provided guitar accampaniment for a club sing-ý sang that began with "Home On The Range" andi ended with "Cie- mentine.". Albert Kitching, lanky member af a local constabulary force, was brouglit ta his feet by papular re-- quest and favoured attentive Kin with a "so-low" rendition ai the aid time favourite, "Little Brown Jug." His accomplishment was Igreeted with prolonged applause. Vice-President Ken Nicks sug- gested that 100 pet' cent attend- ance pins for members completing one year of pèrfect attendance, lie awarded in future, The club seemedte t favour the idea and. it is quite passible that such pins will be awarded anually tao those attending Kinsmen meetings reg- ularly. The prablem.of maving beavy bingo tables camne up for discus- sion, and the probiem aif hausing future bingo events was, also con- sidered. No defimite decision wâs reached on the latterý two mat- ters, but the suggestion ai bî*- ing bingo iap-cards i.s te be in- vestigateti. Miss K. Brcrnigan Wins Spaniel At Kinsmen Bingo Competing with Blackstock Fair. the C.N.E. and severai ath- er concurrent entertainments in Oshawa, the Bowmanvile Kmns- men Club staged a M6nster Bin- go Friday, September lst, and saw an estimated 250 local people line the bingo benches vieing to shout the magie word and quali- fy for one ai the many beautifuil prizes on display. Aithaugh the estimated profit on the evening. barely exoeeds 100 dollars, one customer beartng two lavely prîzes claimed that the Kinsmen Club earned mnany inientis. Travelling bags, lampa, card tables, end tables and blank- ets were but a few af the pnîzes offeredte t bingo winners. ..Tay" the three-months-old cocker puppy., was won by- Keith- een Branigan. the daughter ai the waman wha won the watch at the last Kinsmen Monster niglit. Playfully chewing at his custodi- an's finger prier ta the draw, the bilack pup with the white chest was dressed in a brand new red leather harness and sat in* a manket basket at the entrance ta the arena iloor. Someone sug- gested that the name "Tay" be changed ta "Bi ngo" ta cammem- arate the evening it changed mas- ters. Kirk Everett, Mrs. D. Button- shaw and Mrs. E. White were lucky wmnners af the special games that oifered a 10 dollar bill as a prize. Unlike mast Bingos where a iplayer is forced ta leave his card if thirst demanda, the Kinsmen club bingo intraduced the novel innovation ai having cokes andi hot dogs servedte t each player as he playeti. Said the number eall- et aven bis "mike" wben refer- ring ta Kinsmen, "We even have boys here that wili run and get cem for you."
