TIMES CHANGE Fishermen Reminisce f Days Long Gone GLOUCESTER, Mass (CP)-- Every now and then the yarn spinners paused because their voices were lost in the lonesome laments of screaming seagulls. Shouts were exchanged with fishermen -- a jolly lot -- pre- | paring for a voyage in an at- mosphere of sea smells so pun- gent they could be tasted. It was a typical morning at the Seven Seas wharf, beside the jetty from which Capt. Ben Pine used to take out his Col- umbia to battle with Capt. An- gus Walters and the Lunenburg schooner Bluenose. A possible revival of the North At lantic fishermen's Championships was the starting topic of conversation but it led to a discussion of this 300-year- old port's ancient ties Canada's Atlantic provinces and tales in the rich language of the sea. So great has been the number ef Canadians sailing from Glow cester that when a ban was placed on aliens in the Second World War the fishing fleet was all but crippled. Such Nova Scotia -- sounding names -- all captains -- as Archie McLeod, Alphonse Bou- dreau, Wallace Bruce and An- thony Sears cropped up re- peatedly in the wharf conversa- tion. The drone of the diesel is much more familiar in Glou- cester harbor these days than jjoss the sound of flapping canvas ¥ t SOFTBALL SPORTS CALENDAR THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, June 15, 1962 43 [Eastern Pro May UAW Midgets TODAY National League Memorial Stadium, 8.00 p.m. SATURDAY LACROSSE Arena, 8.45 p.m. LAWN BOWLING Club, 1.30 p.m. SOCCER National League Kinsmen Civic Memorial dium, 8.00 p.m Oshawa City Italia- Virtus vs Oshawa Hungaria, at Toronto Stanley Park, 8.00 p.m. Oshawa and District Assoc. --| (ist Round Semi-Final Chal- lenge Cup) -- at Kinsmen Civic OLA Senior League -- Bramp- ton Ramblers vs Brooklin Hill- crests, at Brooklin Community Mixed Doubles Tournament, at Cannington Lawn Bowling --Toronto Croatia vs Oshawa Italia, at Sta- and District i i"Major League" -- Scugog Cleaners vs Cobourg Brokers, at Cobourg Victoria Park, 8.00 p.m. Fold After Tues. | peat Beaton's OTTAWA (CP)--Time is run-)for the NHL and a number of ning out on the Eastern Profes-/EPHL players have made the soinal Hockey League's fight|jump.
