UNIQUE TOURNAMENT AT
ST. PETERSBURG l.B.C.
DELAND LAWN BOWLING CLUB
On a recent Saturday afternoon the
greens of the St. Petersburg Lawn Bowling
Club, were full of joyful men and
women club members. They were competing
vigorously in a mixed trebles
draw tournament in which nobody lost
everybody won, even members who did
not play. H ow did everybody win?
All entry fees, one dollar minimum
and as much more as one wished to contribute,
went to make a brighter Christmas
for the needy youngsters at the
Children's H ospital. What bowler could
lose doing that. The high twO game
winners did get boxes of candy as ?
little extra, as did high first game and
second game winners. For those who
signed up for the event in a non-play in[
column, draws were made for similar
sweet prizes.
And the Club won a not-so-easy-toget
these days prize! The tie-up of the
Club and the Children's Hospital brought
a St. Petersburg Times photographer to
the greens to catch the men's and the
women's games chairmen presenting the
money to the Administrator of the Hospital.
The picture was arranged to include
bowls and greens so that a persor
casually looking through the paper would
know that there was a lawn bowling clu'
in the city. Good advertising plus good
community relations.
Two more such Saturday afternoon
affairs are held each year, one for the
Red Cross and one for the Salvation
Army. They have been well supported
by the members for many years, have
provided thousands of dollars for worthy
organizations, and develop good community
relationships, with a bit of advertising
on the side.

" Unless what?" was the question.
" Unless you'd be willing to share a room with

Here are the questions:
1. If YOLl wenr ro bed at 8 o'clock
ronight and set the alarm to get up at
9 o'clock the next morning, how many
hours sleep would you be alJowi ng
yourself?
2. How many birthdays does the average
bowler have?
3. If you had only one match, and
enrered a room in which there was a
keroscene lamp, a gas ring, and a fuel
stOve, what would you light first?
4_ Some months have 31 days, some
30 days, bur how many have 28?
5. If a doctOr gave you three p ills
and rold you ro take one every half
hour, how long would they last you?
6. A man builds a rectangular house
with each side having a southerly aspect.
Where did he build it?

of economy so that we may remove from

that this list be kept up to date at all
times. All non-dues-paying members of
A.L.B.A. affiliated clubs such as non-bowlers,
honorary members, etc, may subscribe
to the magazine on an individual basis
at the subscribtion rate indicated on the
index pgae by contacting the circulation
manager. The publication of the magazine
is schedllied for the 15th day of
January, April, July and October. All information
should be in the hands of the
magazine staff thirty days prior to publication
date.

As in the past, dues will
be collected through this source and he
should have available at all times a list

addresses. The Division Secretary-Treasurer
will in turn keep the A.L.B.A. Secretary-Treasurer
current on such information.
Will you please assist us in our effort
to make this a continually more effectie
organization operating in the most
economical manner.

THE HAPPY YEARS
W bile all my wealthy eastern friends
Are fighting ice and snow,
I'm bowling on Oll[ sunny green,
B: d weather I do not know.
Like Francis Drake, the Admiral,
Who held the Spaniards cheap ,
I bowl each day from noon 'til threeear
the bottOm of the heap.
-17 -
My game needs much improvement,
I'm still an also-ran,
Bur I've gained a host of trusty friends
And a healthy coat of tan.
A claim is made by medics famed
Which truth I can arrest,
That those who bowl upon the green
Out live by years the rest.
How treat the last years kindlier,
As we drift off the scene,
Than rolling bowls competitively
On an emerald bowling green.

BOWLS is a science. The study of a lifetime, in which you may exhaust yourself,
but not the subject. It is a contes" a duel calling for courage, skill and self
COntrol. It is a test of temper, a trial of honor, a revealer of character. Ir affords
the chance to play the man and act the gentleman. It is a cure for care, an antidote
for worry. Ir includes companionship with friends, social contact and opportunities
for courtesy, fri end liness and generosity to an opponent. It provides not
only physical health but moral force.

FRESNO
by Joe Redo
Your reporter heard that bowling was getting a good boost in Fresno by Joe
Redo. Joe and his wife Florence and all their family loved the game. Joe's
transfer ro Fresno by his company was upsetting. On arrival he had an interview
with the Direcror of Parks and Recreation to whom he had a letter of introduction.
Report: Bowling in long range planning stage. That did not satisfy Joe so
he went ro work and put in his own green of sand base and a foot of cop soil and
mulch and had a good green in 6 months. Green is 26 by 90 feet.
The official opening was Sepe. 26, 1964. 21 bowlers came from Joe's former
Richmond Club and 20 from Fresno rook part in a twO day meet. This event gave
the impetus needed ro get Lawn Bowling going in Fresno. The Fig Garden Bowling
Club was officially organized in October 1964 with 28 members 19 male and 9
female. They are applying for membership in the S. W. Division, the A.i.B.A. and
the Northern Calif. Men's and Women's Association.
The Board of Direcrors are: George Paisley, Pres.; James Oliver, V.P. ; Nelda
Gronstal, Secy.; Bert Blase, Treas.; with Joe Redo, Warren Clark and Henry Bleidistel
making up the balance of the board. The D irector of Parks hearing and seeing
what went on has now chosen a site for rwo greens with money set aside for
development and hopes ro have the city greens ready by late in 1965. A Lutheran
retirement village is under construction in Fresno and advertise that they will have
a bowling green. We bet that Joe Redo will sell them so well they won't forget
to put it in. Enclosed is a photO of Joe's green and a few p layers.

A VISIT TO BUCK HILL FALLS
by Hubert F. Sage, President
Tacoma, Wash. Lawn Bowls Club
All lawn bowlers, whether young or
old, soon learn there is a "dream," and that
dream is-THE INN. Buck Hill Falls, Pa.
Dorys, my wife, and I have been playing
bowls for only four years, but from the
beginning we heard the "ultimate goal"
was co win, and be sent ro "Buck Hill" as
representative of your particular Division.
I'm no "champion" lawn bowler, but this
year I had all the "breaks" going for me,
was co win and be sent ro "Buck Hill" as
reality! Mr. Gillam, the President of the
Buck Hill Falls Company and his efficient
staff, makes you feel "at home" from the
beginning. This is a magnificient resort
hotel, in the heart of the Pocono Mountains;
open the year around ( the buildings
magnificent ro behold) has over
300 rooms; the lounges are "Out of this
world," and the dining room accommodates
600. It is our understanding this
Inn has operated for half a century and
believe me, the emphasis is on genuine
friendliness- a not-roo-formal atmosphere
and the menu in that dining room,
would make your head swim.
The ALBA lawn Bowls U. S. Championship
Tournament from the beginning
"Singles" through the "Doubles"; then
on into the OPE for men, and finally,
Mixed Doubles, is methodically and
beautifully bandled. Bill Hay, his perfect
radio voice booming Out the different
plays appeals to the interested
audience. The friendliness of EVERY­
ONE, whether you know them personally
or not, prevails as the days go by.
The 10 ely and appetizing "buffet" served
each noon-time at the nearby Tennis
Club-the drives through this most
beautiful countryside, and finally every
type and kind of "evening entertainment"
for those not roo tired ro participate
are provided.
Our parting thought to all lawn bowlers-Buck
Hill IS the "ultimate"- "contestant"
or not, make every effort to visit
this memorable spot.
On his first trip to New York City, a small
town visitor managed to hit most of the bars
in the Time Square area before he stumbled
down a stairway leading to the subway. Emerg.
ing a half·hour later, he met a frien d who had
been looki ng for him.
"Where in the world have you been," the
friend demanded.
" Down in some guy's cellar," the man replied
glassy·eyed, "an, boy, has he got a set of trains."

This makes the second Northwest lawn
bowls club to venmre into the publications
field, the above "News Letter" having
been preceeded by the Portland Lawn
Bowling Club's "Grapevine." The Holiday
Issue of the "Grapevine" also has
much of interest. Fourteen new members
were welcomed into the club in 1964,
bringing the membership to 87. A goal
of 100 members is set for 1965. Sanford
Siegrist's poetical "When I Bowl" is excellent.
Congratulations to Editor Andy
Brugger for an excellent issue' We hope
we will be kept on the mailing list of
both these NW publications.
WHEN I BOWL
Give me a green that's fast and dry,
And a bowl that's draw ing sweet,
A warm sun as I stoop t o throw,
And a firm mat at my feet.
May the bowls c1kk sharp as I take him out,
May my skipper's hand fling high,
May I follow the J ack as I carry him back,
May my blockers stop right in his eye.
Give me mates who love the play,
Who w ith fri endliness abound,
Who can laugh a bit when the last end's thrown,
And a firm handshake _II round.
