Kinsmen Members Spend Holiday on, Bay of Quinte Some 15 members of the Bow- manville Kinsmen Club em- barked on a fishing excursion to P jeton over the weekend and while fish were wary and bard to catch, sunburns came easy, aceording to several reports. The ma.jority of bbc club left Bowmanville Saturday afternoon in order to get in a llttle fishing before nightfall. Several were unable to leave until Sunday rnorning, howcvcr, due to other pressing activities. Whilc fishing was bbc main sport at the camp, a few club members went swimming in bbe refreshing waters of tbe Bay of Quinte. Due to heavy rains in the area which made mud hoies of gravel ioads, fisherman had a littie dif- ficulty gaining access to the pen- insula on whicb the camp was situatcd. Otberwisc, it would ap- pear that the spot xvas ideal for the weekend of fun. The spot \vas witbin seeing dis- tance of the famed motor boat race course where the Miss Can- ada boats wcre ii'xred up for in- ternational 'r.ces. Famous Band leader Guy Lombardo raced the Picton course on more than one occasion. Kinsmen who wcnt on the fishing trip were: President Jack Lander, President-elct Stan L.
