Martin Bloom shot 82, Ray Allen &8, Herb Allen 92 and Harvey Harnick 100. Odeon Theatres foursome—W. Tyers, Ralph Dale, Clair Appel and Dick Main — came second with a score of 388. Famous Players, represented by Jack Arthur, Syl Gunn, Harvey Hunt and George Phelps, finished third with 394. Martin Bloom, with an 82, won the challenge trophy offered by Famous Players for annual competition for Individual Low Gross, in which there was no handicap. It was presented by R. W. Bolstad, the winner also getting a $25 War Savings Certificate donated by Paul L. Nathanson. Menzo Craig of Ridgetown was runner-up with an 85, getting the Film Laboratories $15 merchandise order also. Winner of the Canadian Film Weekly challenge trophy for Individual Low Net was Ed. Smith of Hanson Enterprises. He was tied with Syl Gunn and Gord Hall, who also had 74, and all three drew a card to settle the matter. The trophy was presented by Hye Bossin, managing editor of the Canadian Film Weekly. Smith also got a fitted toilet case donated by Regal Films. (Individual Low Net competition was run as a “Kicker’s Handicap.” Under its rules each man is permitted to state his own handicap, with a maximum of 36, par being undetermined until after the players have started. Par for the competition is reached by taking the real par for the course, in this case 72, and working from two up and two down— 70 to 74—in drawing one of the figures out of a hat. The figure drawn, 74, became par. The scorer totalled the real score and the handicap. If together they came to a figure below 74 the player was eliminated. He had kicked himself out of the competition by taking too great a handicap. ) Winner of the Honey Pot competition for a trophy donated by the IATSE, Local 173, and presented by President Dave Seigel, was W. Tyers of Niagara Falls, Ont. In this event an eagle was scored as four points, a birdie as three, par aS two and a bogey as one. Tyers totalled 20 points. He was also awarded a sterling silver cigarette case donated by the Imperial Bank of Canada. The tournament was voted a grand success by the 62 golfers who competed and the 75-or-s0 who joined them at the dinner to enjoy the entertainment, refreshments and presentations. The Oakdale Golf and Country Club Everyone Had a Swell Time and There Are Dozens of Requests That It Be Continued as an Annual Affair For the Industry course is one of the finest in Ontario and the bright, clear day, which was the first in a week, made everyone feel sprightly. Much of the success of the tournament, the first one of what is to be an annual event sponsored by the Canadian Film Weekly, was due to Al Troyer, who acted as starter and handicapper. The dinner was an uproarious and thoroughly enjoyable affair and this was no little due to the skillful handling of things by Jack Arthur, overall chairman of the tournament, who acted as toastmaster, and Archie Laurie, supervisor of the presentations. There was a large list of prizes. In the scores which follow it will be noted that some who are listed as first, second and third had the same score. These were ties and the players affected drew for the highest card to settle on the winner. There is another seeming discrepancy which fades away when it is realized that under the rules no man could win more than one prize except foursome victors.

It has a high place in the councils of the world and every Canadian today feels it. Canada was just as interested as any other land in screen space in Europe, South American and any place in the world, Grierson said. Canada’s national aspirations were shared by every citizen and the motion picture industry has a stake in them. The National Film Board, as part of this growing spirit, was interested only in educational films bearing on technological, sociological, health and welfare problems. Its policy, Grierson said, was based on Canada’s needs and ambitions. ''The film industry, a vital part of our country, will be called on to help provide new determination to attain them.”
