Suprise Shower For Tannis Killough

A latge number of friends gathered recently in the Parish Hall to give. a suprise shower for July bride, Miss Tannis Kil-~ ‘lough, now Mrs. George Down- ing.

Amid a profusion of summer flowers and with Centennial sil- louettes on the walls, the guests “searched magazines for pictures which would depict the life — past, present and future — of the

ride,

Editing the bride book were Miss Babs Killough, Mrs. Frank Rirhardson and Mrs. Colin Petts. During the search for pictures the bride — with her mother and sister — arrived at the hall ‘to count cups for the coming wed- ding" and much -to her suprise was the guest of honor for the evening.

Corsages were presented to the bride and her mother. An ecru-lace cloth covéred the beaut-| iful bride’s table centered with a bride doll, under the traditional! umbrella and watering can dec- “eration,

Continuing the “bride book” theme, the gifts were contained in’ a huge four-foot white bride book with gold lettering, which was on a little cart drawn by Sue Killough and Heather Jean Anderson, The Misses Dawn ‘Waldie and Maureen Lipsett as- sisted with the opening and re-

cording of gifts and Miss Louise}

Askew helped to put them on display after their tour of in- spection around the hall. Pouring- tea for ‘the buffet- style dainties were Mrs. J. F. Killough and her sister Mrs. Joyce McKenzie, mother and sis- ter of the bride. Pink pred

In re- ply to a question put by the chairman he stated that he would definitely sect up a forge which Mr. Loeblich said ‘would immed- iately put him in the classifica- tion of light industry and the in- tended location was zoned for business only.

Council assured Mr, Hoodi- 4coff that if and when he could locate in a zone specified as in- dustrial he would be granted a trades license, Some discussion took place with regard to the Civil Defence convention to be +held in Van- couver, September 22, but no decision was reached as to whether or not a council member would be able to attend,

RELIGIOUS TRACTS INSTEAD OF RACE TRACKS — &

Baby Joe Gets Even With Stripes Degeer and Chinchilla Charlie

By PAUL KING (Continued from last week)

Now I was saying last week about how Stipes DeGeer and Chinchilla Charles took my pal Joe for.a longer ride at the ‘races than the jockey took on ‘the nag they bet on,

And ‘how Baby Joe and the Dummy got a hurried cell from their -hoss.Stogie Stardust to meet him at the Maple Leaf Gardeng one night and got their signals crossed, winding up xt

a Billy Graham crusade at Madison Square ban

Gardens, instead.

I left this fascinating tale at the point where. :

And he 3 was such: a-clever ple pocket.

‘This was brought’ mest emphatically ' one night after returning to Toronto when he noticed the Dummy si- lently slipping his hands into’ the: pockets of pedestrians passing b;

His new religious fervor must have dim-

jnished his cultivated caution somewhat, for

the act was witnessed not ony by Baby Joe, but ’ + also by.two of Sergeant Stonehedge’s men who”

arrested him for the first time in his life:? “Caught,” as they said, “in the act.” Since the Dummy could not speak he could

not explain his actions. Not eyen Baby Joe

pockets of the passing parade.

Things were at an all-time low for a while. _

Not only was the Dummy spending a two month stretch for pick i but Stogie

himself was in the next cell-block on a charge of bribery and corruption.

It seems he had wagered a rather substantial sw. with some country customer one night at the Water-Pipe cub as to the outcome of a certain. match involving the customer’s cousin, a stupid slob named Mighty Man Moe.

“Now none in their mind would ever.bet on

match, but, ri

He .contacted the Moe and found that the

* prepared script called fr him to stay topside

that night,. s0; Stogie slipped him a couple of unscheduled fall,

‘The bet was practically in the bank, when Stogie got word.that one of his long-time an- tagonists,” a west-side numbers man named

: Monday Wells, was, pulltag the very same stunt,

‘with a rich, surly-headed college kid except. that Monday was betting big money" that Mighty Moe

would stay up. -

He too had checkea the script and figured a eure thing. Therefore Stogie anticipated trouble after Monday Yound out he had been . and bad the of Baby Joe and the Dummy in case Monday de- clded to get tough. Sure enough, when Mighty Moe got carried

~into his dressing room, Monday Wells was there

with the questions, Moe, who apparently go: easily frightened out of the ring, gave with the

information and the hunt was on,

Needless to say, when he found Stogie ne was alone, and ont only did Stogie have to fork over the money to cover Monday's loss, but when Moe’s ‘country cousin told Moe how he lost money betting on him, Moe got mad and spilled the story again, so the cousin called the cops (explaining that’'Moe had been threatened if, he wouldn't fall) and so the cops got Stogle.

Needless to say, this was all very disturbing

to Baby Joe. Not only was he still worrled about losing hfs track .carnizigs, but also he : was feeling guilty about letting Stogic down.

I was walking down Yonge street with him late. one ‘night when a black caddy screeched up to the curb in front of us and two men jumped out, etabbing a guy on the sidewalic just ‘ahead of us. In a very few seconds they had him stretched out on the sidewalk and had pro- vided some rather deft alterations to his face.

:- Within half a minute they were back in the

car speeding north, Baby Joe took one leok at .. the guy on the pavement and began running...

. down the street. I waited around until the police came.and when.they asked who had seen it happen, a taxi driver volunteered information and also stated-that I had been there too.

It was not until I was down on the bench in the police station that I learned that the big guy they carted away in the ambulance was a wrestler known as Mighty Man Moe.
