,After Successful Season

The bowlers of the Friendship Club of the Blind held their first banquet last evening in the Blue Room of the Old Spain. It was the climax to a successful year of bowling at the Rollaway where alleys had been provided by Mr. Joe MacDonald

Bowlers received coaching each week from member. of the local Lions Club. Special guests at the banquet were Mr. William Bevin: and Mr. Jack Stevenson. President of the l.ions Club. Results of howling during the past year were presented by P. C. Bower, Repre- sentative of the C. N. I. B. who acted as M. C. There were three trophies awarded, two to Phyllis Bevin: for having the highest year- ly average of 78.4 and high single. Peter McGarry a totally blind bowler was awarded a trophy forl having the high average of 39 in: that division. These trophies wcrol donated by Mr. Bevins who pre-

sented them to the winners with congratulations.

The Club entered a team in the Maritime Candlepin Tuuinament for the Dr. J. A. MacDonald Bowling Trophy. The team's score was 822 and as yet word has not been received as to the winner. The Club also entered a team in the National Candlepin Tournament for the Sadie Brooks Bending Trophy, the local team had a score of 979, the winning team, the Fundy Club, St. John. N.
