Clarendon Host TONIGHT
In Sparkling Affair
For Same Cause
BY ROD THOMAS.


Remember when nobody thought
of bowling in June?
Now look. Tonight at Clarendon
will be staged one of the finest duck
pin shows ever concocted. At Pet
worth today scores of pinshooters
will vie in a Red Cross benefit
tournament.
At Silver Spring the Board OF
Trade is busy with plans to raise, by
means of a bowling tournament
S250,000 in war savings, the COM
munity centering in the tournament
its entire effort in the new War
bond campaign.
Arville Ebersole, executive secre-
tary of the National Duckpin Bowl
ing Congress, who sold more than
100000 in bonds on a recent tour of
Rhode Island maple plants, col
laborated with Proprietor Eddie
Goldberg in arranging the Clarendon
War Bond Carnival and will be on
hand tonight to auction autographed
pins.
A major part of the biggest sum-
mer season in the history of bowling
will be geared to the war coin effort
but the affair at Silver Spring, which
will be held in the third or fourth
week of July, perhaps both, promises
to dwarf all other events of it's kind
National Director Optimistic.
Of1cials of the National War Saw
inss Organization said yesterday
they believed the Silver Spring
tournament would be the beginning
of countrywide movement in
which small towns would utilize
their bowling plants to head special
bond-raising drives. The bond Or
ganlzation was an active collabora-
tor when The Stars tournament of
194l started the Nation wide tie-up
of bowling with War savings.
To the bowler, the Silver Spring
affair will be something on a silver
dish. The entry fee will be the pur-
chase Of a War bond, hence there's
nothing to lose. All prizes will be
donated by the businessmen of
Silver Spring, In war savings and
while merchandise and it may
be guaranteed now that they will be
numerous. Full handicaps will as
sure equal opportunity for men and
women.
In a recent dinner meeting at Ar
baugh's, President Lee H. Robinson
of the board appointed Hugh w. Ar
baugh, proprietor of the Silver
Spring mapleways and president of
the Metropolitan Washington Bowl
ing Operators Association, chairman
of the tournament.
Raise $500 in Hurry.
Other leading members of the
board present were: DR.. w. B. Meh-
ring, Roy Coffman, r. E. Barrett,
Graham Hill, c. F. Arminger, Will
liam Wright. Glenn Mahar, Charles
Kopland and Fred L. Lutes. Eber-
sole, who will lend a big hand, too,
attended.
The meeting was called merely to
talk over the project but before it
broke up those present had sub
scribed $500 to the prize list and
day later this sum had been more
than doubled as Silver Spring busi-
nessmen became informed of the
plans. Virtually all are expected to
kick in and $1,000 fund, including
merchandise, appears within reach.
There will be no charge for the
bowling.
