THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1948 Port Perry Lions Club Carnival Is Very * York Lions Air Cadet Band Carnival Feature By MICKEY CARLTON . The normally well-lighted main street of Port Perry was even more 80, Wednesday night, when batter- ies of lights illuminated the many booths that had been set up for the annual Lions Club Carnival which took place on the main street. Crowds of pleasure-seekers am- bled from one booth to another, frying their luck here and there and stopping for hot dogs or ham- burgs in between. In the middle of the lengthy block, a wide area was closed off for the street dance and Russ Creighton and his band, seated on a platform dead centre of the en- closure, played sweeping - musical tempos that tempted dancers onto the "dance floor", Band Pays Surprise Visit A welcome surprise for the even- ing occurred when the Waterloo prize-winning York Lions, 180 Mos. quito Squadron, Air Cadet Band, sprang apparently from nowhere . and with beating drums and blar- ing trumpets came in swift march- ing order down the street, through the milling crowds and into the dance enclosure, led by Bandmaster Harry Saunders. 'The band had been playing for Old Home Week in Lindsay and stopped en route home to give a display at the carnival. The band of 45 boys, ranging in age from 13 to 19 years, played the selection, "Bdinburgh Castle", with which they won the band competitions at Waterloo and did a display of fan- vw drill, ~ In an address to the crowd, who had cheered and applauded the demonstration, Mr. Saunders told of the fine work being carried out by the York Lions Club in spon- oring the band which was or- anized in 1942, Mr. Saunders said that a boys' band anywhere was the finest me- 7 dium in the world for combatting juvenile delinquency and claimed that of the 150 boys which had taken training in his organization not one had at any time been in any trouble. "Not only do we start the boys on a firm foundation for an honest, happy future but when they reach the age when they are ready to go into the world and make a living we find our boys good occupations," Mr. Saunders sald, He claimed that already very good positions had been found for the 20 boys that had reached the job-requiring age and that the organization had made it possible for one such boy to go through university and emerge as a civil engineer. Aid Individual Welfare The cost of operating the band each year amounts to about $500, Mr. Saunders claimed, but added that this amount is nearly always made by the boys by paid engage- ments. The money earned this way is put into a fund for each lad's individual welfare, The group travels roughly 600 miles and plays to an average of 50,000 people every twelve months. The boys are rigidly disciplined but "they like it and are much better for it". Mr. Saunders was an in- structor in the R.C.N. during World War I and says he knows the value of discipline in a young boy's life and the part it plays in making for good future citizenship.

Six Beautiful Bass Who says the fish don't bite in Lake Scugog? William James of Detroit, Mich., spending his holi- days at Birdseye Centre, can tell you that they do. . 'While fishing several days ago in one of the many weedy spots, he hauled in six beautiful bass weigh- ing four to five pounds each. The fish were caught 200 yards from the shore of the summer resort. Fishing has been exceptionally good since the start of the carp- removal programme a year ago. Close Struggle Port Perry suffered a defeat on their home field Thursday evening to the tune of 6-4 at the hands of the Little Britain diamondeers. Findlay showed decided prowess on the hil] for Britain when he was relieved by Wickett in the seventh. Harper hurled steady ball but the poor base-running and the numer- 0° miscues of the Port Perry (boys nullified his best efforts. Lead-off man S. Hicks proved his skill with the willow for Little Britain, hitting four for five, with three singles, a triple bringing in two runs and crossing the plate four of the six times himself. Bill williams, also top of the bat- ting order, was the most powerful hitter for Port Perry, scoring half of their four runs. The score- board gives him credit for 3 hits and a base on errors for four trips to the platter. Little Britain clinched the game in the top of the eighth with Hicks, McMillan and McKinnon scoring Port Perry was unable to better their total in the botom of the 'in- nings when the game was called be- cause of darkness. Some excitement occurred when Bob Healy, after scoring a run, passed a remark to the plate um- pire on scme of the close decisions and got himself benched for the re- mainder of the game.

'Steam Raspberry' is Used To Drown Out Propaganda Cornwall, July 10--(CP) -- The "steam raspberry," something new in strike weapons, was given its first tryout by the Canada Steam- ships Lines freighter Mapleheath Thursday. As the Mapleheath passed through the canals near here its crew members were subjected to a propaganda broadcast from a Can- adian Seamen's Union (TL.C.) sound truck. The ship's captain lis- tened for a moment, then drowned it out with the "steam raspberry" --a series of subdued moans punc- tuated by piercing blasts from an overworked safety valve. Officers aboard the Mapleheath, which has figured in several inci- dents during the month-long sea- men's strike, were pleased with their new-found strategy, said they would use it again, Lions Club Carnival Is Gala Event for Young and Old A group of youngsters line up in readiness for the part they played in | second best decorated tricycle winner; Nancy Kight, second prize-winner the annual Lions Club parade which preceded the big carnival night in| in the best decorated bicycle entries; Tommy Cawker, third best tricycle Port Perry last Wednesday.

They expressed their regret in a telegram sent to the delegation af- ter it had rebuked the party for its use of the Pope's statements in newspaper and advertisements which appeared in French-langu- age newspapers Friday. The delegation telegraphed its protest to Liberal Headquarters here and released the text of the telegram to newspapers in Ottawa. The telegram said in part: "It is very regrettable that the words of His Holiness the Pope should be exploited in the pages of the newspapers for the ends of election propaganda in favor of one particular political party when it is well-known how the social doc- trine of the Sovereign Pontiff is far above any party differences." The telegram from Ottawa was signed simply "Apostolic Delega= tion." The Libera] officials, in charge of organization for the par- ty in the July 28 Quebec general" election campaign, sent a reply signed "The Liberal Organization." The reply said that "we have ta- ken note of the message of July 9 from the Apostolic Delegation and, we regret that the text of an ad- vertisement distributed by the Lib- eral organization has appeared to be an exploitation of the words of His Holin the end of elec- tion propagand in favor of one political party." The Pope's words quoted in the advertisement, said the reply, pre- viously had been given widespread publicity. The Liberal Party felt that, without "irreverence" it could recall them to the public and re- mind the people of the Pope's in- vitation to men of good will to face up to the present dangers of hu- manity. il 46,000 Veterans Draw Allowances Ottawa, July 10--(CP)--A total of 46,040 veterans were drawing al- lowances under the Veterans' Re- habilitation Act at the end of May, Veterans Minister Gregg announced Friday. * Educational training is still the most popular form of allowance with 28,051 male veterans and 1,279 former members of the women's forces receiving allowances at the end of the month.
