Flashbacks from 1955 This week’s flashbacks come from June 1955. Three area girls vie for title Three Leamington District High School students will vie for the Tomato Festival Queen title in September, as the town hosts the first ever National Tomato Festival. Elsie Regehr, 17, from Ruthven, was the choice of the ballots submitted last week by area students. The vote was so close, however, that officials have announced that two other 17-year-olds from LDHS are also eligible. They are Sandra Cantor and Shirley Vodarek, both of Leamington. Harness racing for Dominion Day Officials from the Leamington District Agricultural Society have announced plans for a harness racing card at the fairgrounds on July 1. Spokesman Jack Walker said that a number of decent harness horses have been entered for the card. The $1 admission tickets will be on sale shortly. Juniors beat Woodslee Pounding out a total of 20 hits and scoring 21 runs behind the five-hit pitching of Jake Boshman, the Branch 84 Legion Juniors won their fifth straight game on Sunday, trouncing the Woodslee nine by a score of 21-4. In the game at Seacliff Park, Boshman struck out 20 to run his season strikeout total to 70 in 36 innings pitched. Chevalier and Chauvin shared the pitching for Woodslee. Boshman also had four hits, with Hoorelbeck matching that output and Pursel hitting three singles. Barons defeat Kingsville 7-0 The Leamington Barons rode the sparkling pitching performance of manager Elmer Scratch to a 7-0 shutout of the Kingsville Pirates on the weekend. Scratch hurled a four-hitter for the complete game shutout. The Barons got 13 singles off Kingsville pitchers Andy Dodge and Dean Wigle. Jack Cascadden, Spike Hillier, Ken Phibbs, Pat Mitchell and Don Emerson each had two singles for the winners. Rochon, Cull, Fairbairn and Arner had the Kingsville hits. Cow wins award A Jersey cow owned by F.S. Liebrock, of Wheatley, has been awarded the ‘Ton of Gold’ certificate by the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club. The cow, Jardin’s Zana’s Sally, produced 2,254 pounds of fats in 1,461 days, which is 264 pounds in excess of the requirement for the award. ‘Sally’ is a silver medal cow and the daughter of the Superior sire, Avonlea Zana’s Prince. To qualify for the award, a cow must produce over 2,000 pounds of fat in four consecutive years.

By Bob McLean On a beautifully warm, dry June 1, there were 66 enthusiastic Talbot Trail seniors striving to improve their golf scores. We’re getting more roll because of the dry conditions, but not many of us will complain about this. The course is in excellent playing condition. The closest to the pin was won by Ron McCracken’s excellent shot to within 5 feet of #9 pin. Super senior Dave la Bonte had the magic putter working as he drained a 15-foot putt to claim the long putt victory on #2. Some of the seniors came fully prepared to improve their previous week’s score. Dutchy, although somewhat hobbled, still limped around the course with a dazzling 35. Masterful scores of 39 and 40 were earned by Joe Vrtel and Jim Pearson respectively. Three players who achieved impressive 41s were

Dave Cohoon and Dave Chambers. The league welcomed the following new members: Russell Alliett, Garry Morin, Paul Carioli and Dave Chambers. We trust these gentlemen will have fun playing with our members on the beautiful TT golf course. We also were pleased to welcome back Scoop Epplett and Ray Foster. News update: Shannon Wiper and Tom Dunn are hoping to return to action in a few weeks. We also are hoping to see Wiz and Carl Robinson back in the swing of action in the near future. Wife, almost in tears: “You think so much of your golf game you don’t even remember when we were married.” Husband: “Of course I do, my dear. It was the day I sank that 30foot tricky downhill putt for birdie.” Just have fun!
