meet April 81, at 800 pm. in the
Lone Oak School on Viers Road.
Peggy Wilson, the little 6 year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Wilson of Ardennes Avenue, re-
ceived only minor scratches and
bruises when struck recently by a
car while crossing the street near
her home. Why is it that there
always has to be such an accident
with some innocent child or person
involved to focus attention on soma
situation? Please let this be a
warning to those motorists who
speed up and down Ardennes, or
any other street, to think first of
our children. Even with the very
best of effort on the part of parents,
children will be in the street when
there is no other place to ride BIZ
cycles, or for that matter to have
a dry place to play. Sidewalks are
badly needed here in our little vic
nifty. Peggy is one of the most
careful of our children about cross
ing streets, and we are all thank
full that she, as the first victim,
received only these minor injuries.
We have just learned of the
death a week ago of ]. Leroy
Thompson of Aleutian Avenue, and
extend our deepest sympathies to
his family.
A most fortunate and rare op-

sador, Mr.. Mohammed All. spoke

the country was shown. A f e +
lunching at Maxim IS and Pierre's,
the group went through the In
donesian Embassy and had the
pleasure the Ambassador there.

to be an exciting match are last

courts at tbs.
In reaching the final round Bob
Robson and John McNulty defeat
ed the team Of Jack Sellers and
Bill Barnes 6-3, 6-3. Jack must be
given great amount of credit for
getting into the tournament after
his narrow escape from death in
the recent automobile accident. Al
though he played very creditable
game he would have had to be on
the very top of his game to defeat
his powerful opponents. And this
was impossible so soon after the
accident and he therefore had to
relinquish the championship he
had held with Ralph Hartenstine.
The quarter finals went as fol-
lows:
McNulty- Robson defeated Char
lie Lott and Peter Knight In a sur
prisingly close match 6-3, As, 6-3.
The veteran Lott provided the.
fireworks as his game reached
great heights. Robson and McNul-
ty had to 60 through great efforts
to pull their faltering game to-
gether enough to win the match.
