. o 0

About 1,400 spectators crowded into the Summerside Civic Sta- dium on Saturday night to witness a most spectacular ice show pre- sented by a cast of more than lilo from the Moncton Figure Skating Club. Dazzling in color. costumes and design, the show was produced by Alexander Baiisch. club profes- sional. and former Austria junior

" ' whose L,----'-u in Spanish dance on ice. and in a free skating demonstration won wild applause. The show was a fast moving. well-timed performance. and the brilliant skating exhibitions which featured such stars as Jackie Gougen, Carol Ann Landry. Ruth- ann Milburn. Marilyn Miller. Gall Stultz. Evelyn Edgett. and Gail Clark, undoubtedly won many fans for the art of figure skating. Already considerable interest has been evidenced in Summerside where upwards of 100 young people of varying ages are enrolled classes under the tuition of Mr. Baiisch. a native of Austria. who has won international skating com- petitions and starred in European and American ice shows. Plans are being made for a con- tinuation and expansion of the Summerside club next year. when it is anticipated that Mr. Balisch will again be providing instruction at Moncton and Summerside.

THE DOLL SHOP

The show on Saturday night at Civic Stadium began when minia- ture drum majorette. Brenda Wal- ker, led her contingent of "wood- en soldiers” through their paces in beginning a skating fantacy en- titled "The Doll Shop". a journey into the imaginary world of dolls. Bonny Miller was seen in a very pert routine to the music of Le- roy Anderson's "Syncopated Clock," followed by four oriental dolls doing the "Chinese Street

The finale to part one featured Carol Ann Landry, Gil Therrlault. and a 14-member chorus as they skated to the "Emperor's Waltz."

Part two of the show took the audience "around the world on skates." The big TCA constella- tion made its first stopover in Rio De Janelro to view some of the native dancers, and to see. first hand. Jackie Gougen skate to the Latin American classic, "Begin the Beguine."

GRENADA

One of the highlights of the show was the performance by the club instructor Alex Baiisch. who show- ed his audience the meaning of the words poise and assurance, with his masterful interpretation of "Grenada."

In Europe the audience witness-

lll ed the free style skating competi-

tion of the Olympic Games, with Ruth Ann Milburn. and then took a quick jump into Gay Paree to catch Carol Landry. Jackie Gou- gen. Gail Stutz. Gail Clark, and Evelyn Edgett doing the "Can- Can".

S'side lions Club Planning Minstrel Show

An old time minstrel band. banlo solos. saxphonc solos. real close harmony and plenty of rib- tickling jokes by the end men are Just sample-:; of what is in store for the audience on Tuesday. Wednes- day, and Thursday. nights of this week when the Summerside Lions Club stages their second annual minstrel show in the Baptist Hall.

Last year's production is still re- membered as tops in the local mn- strel shows. but the Lions have really outdone themselves this year with a brand new line-up of comedy filled acts. lilting south- ern mclodies, instrumental numb- ers. in fact something doing every minute from the opening curtain to the grand finale.

The fine work accomplished by the members of the Lions Club is known to all and the generous sup- port of the piibiic to their annual show will enable them to carry on the projects they have undertaken for the good of the community.

An evening spent at the Lions Club minstrel show will make the world seem a lot happier and en- courage this fine group of young men to carry on their good works.

Unlike last year's minstrel show produced by the Summerside Lions Club. the show this year will not be presented outside of Summer- side. with the exception of one night when the cast will journey to Charlottetown where they will stage the show at the Provincial Sanatorium for the pleasure and enjoyment of the patients.

Minor Playoffs Begin Tonight Ai Civic Stadium

of the season takes place at Civic Stadium this evening when the Kensington Juveniles play Sum- merside Juveniles for the right to

for the Island Championship. Ken- sisngton looks really strong this year. They've beaten both Char- iottetown and Summerside in ex- hibition games. Only last week they took the Summerside boys by the fairly convincing score of 9-4. it must be said, however. for the

that they were minus their first line of "Red" MacLean. Bobby Phillips and Ulric Gallant. With these three boys added to the team, this series with Kensington should be mighty interesting. It is to be hoped that a good crowd of fans turn out for this game. They're virtually assured of a close struggle and a lot of fine hockey, and they will also have the satisfaction of knowing they are contributing towards the success of our minor hockey program. upon which depends the success of our senior teams of the future,

FERRY O 0

Light snow fell softly on the red coast line of Prince Edward Island as the S.S. Abegweit docked at Borden at 1.20 yesteday afternoon and Captain George A. Burch, senior officer on the Borden-Too mentine ferry service walked ashore to retirement after 33 years in this service. takes effect officially March 31st.

On his last crossing. the 65year old master of this modern ship was summoned to the lounge deck when the ship was secured at Borden. and in the presence of fellow officers and crew members. a presentation was made by Capt- ain Gideon Kane in recognition of the esteem in which he is held by all who sailed with him.

A native of South West Lot 16. Prince Edward Island. the sea car- eer of Captain Burch began in Dec- ember 1909. when he joined the crew of the C.G.S. Earl Gray in the winter service between Charl- ottetown and Plctou. I ' He remained with this ship until 1911, and for the next two years he sailed on schooner: in the Mari- time coastal trade.

On August 4. 1914. he enlisted in the artillery and was stationed on costai defence at Sydney Mines until December of that year when he enlisted for overseas duty with the Second Heavy Battery being formed in Halifax. and served over seas until 1919.

His career on the Borden-Tor- mentine service began on May I. 1923. when he joined the crew of the SS. Prince Edward Island.

In 1929 he was promoted to sec- ond officer, with a further promot- ion to first officer in 1938.

His retirement in d

Recalling one of his most mem- orable expcriences in this service! he was on board "The Prince" when she sailed from Borden on Saturday morning April 19. 1924. and spent 72 hours bottling heavy ice ot complete the 9-mile voyage to Tormeniine which normally takes less than an hour.

The modern diesel-electric pow- ered car ferry "Abegweit" is a far cry from the original steam-driven vessels. he says. The present ship has nearly twice the horsepower of the first to go into the North- umberland Strait service. Its four propellers and stabilizers are feat- ures not in use in the early days.

Captain Burch is married and has one son. George Nelson Blair Burch. Ph. D.. residing in Wel- mington. Delaware.

Looking forward to enjoying a well earned retirement. Captain Burch plans to continue residence in Borden where. for the past 33 years. he has played a vital part in transportation to and from the mainland.
