He came in this morning to pay for his paper, apologizing that he was more than two years behind. To make up for that, instead of paying to October, 1942, he said he would pay to October 1943, more than one year ahead. Then he said if he had been more than two years behind, he’d better pay more than two years ahead, so he gave us ten dollars to pay to October, 1944.â€"(Fergus News-Rec 0rd) .

Its exact origin is a major mystery. Historians believed it came down from antiquity to beâ€" come a game of some import in early Egypt, later in Greece and Rome. Ancient vases and plaques prove this but only the aristocracy seems to have played it and those mostly of the elderly class. game of bowls too. Actually, how- ever, as early as 1299 a group of players formed the Southampton lawn bowling club. This, pioneer among clubs still exists and games are played regularly on the original green that was laid‘ out over 600 years ago. We have talked to those who have played upon this same green and on Drake’s too. Bowling, in case you don’t know is the second oldest sport on rceord Henry the Wife-killer issued an edict in 1511 in which he declared “the game of bowls is an evil be- cause the greens are operating in conjunction with saloons or drissolute places and bowling has ceased to be sport and rather a form of vicious gambling.” Henry was no angel and even if on that particular day he was on the cuts with one of his wives, things must have been really low-down. The ban wasn't officially ilifted' until 1854 but as you can guess the game continued without interruption but on a higher moral plain. :Scotland took up the game in the 16th century and it was for a long time the national game. It was the Scots who improved the game and‘ made many of the rules which exist today. In 1848 the first rules were set down as a code for the game by W. W. Mitchell, one of the greatest bowls authorities ever known. King James in his “The Book of Sports" 1618 recommended the game to his son. King Charles I was a great bowler and fancied himself too, reputedly losing $5,000 on a single game to. one Richard Shute, a merchant, who had a superâ€"fast green on Barking- Hill. America saw bowling as early as 1690, with Boston and New York the early strongholds. As early as 1714 in BOston there was even ad- vertising in the paper about it. When it came to Canada is not known, earlier in the Maritimes than else- where probably, but certainly soon after the fall of Quebec and the English occupation. The French- Canadians for sure didn’t bowl.
