Mr. and Mrs. James BYRNE, of Lance Cove, Bell Island, are receiving the congratulations of their many friends on the attainment of the 54^th anniversary of their wedding which they celebrated Thursday, June 26^th. Mr. and Mrs. BYRNE were married at the R.C. Church, Harbour Main, C.B., by Rev. Father Patrick O’DONALD.

Mr. BYRNE was an employee of the Steel Company for over half a century and was retired on pension about 9 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. BYRNE are the parents of 11 children, 10 of who reside on the Island. Another son, Gerald, paid the Supreme Sacrifice while serving in the Royal Navy in World War II.

Fifteen-year-old Kenneth GEORGE, a former pupil of St. Stephen’s School, Bell Island, now attending St. Boniface High School, was officially presented with the Meritorious Life-saving Certificate of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, by Premier SMALLWOOD, during the official opening of St. Boniface Regional High School recently.

The life saving incident occurred on July 29, 1957, when Helen HURLEY 13, of Freshwater, Bell Island fell of the "West Dam" and was rescued – not breathing – by some boys who were present at the time.

Kenneth GEORGE was ready for such an emergency. He had learned artificial respiration during St. John Ambulance "Save-a-Life" Week when it had been taught by his school by First Aid Instructor Roy REES – Safety Inspector, Dominion Wabana Ore. Kenneth immediately started the Holger-Nielsen Method of Artificial Respiration. Kenneth restored Helen’s breathing.

Premier SMALLWOOD congratulated the "young Bell Island hero" on receiving the award as did also many of the dignitaries present for the school opening ceremonies, including His Lordship, Bishop MEADEN, Venerable Archdeacon LEGGE, Rev. T.E. SMITH and Major E.A. GREEN, who officially represented the President of the St. John Council of Newfoundland at the presentation.

Sixty-four Boys’ Club members leave for two weeks camping today. Through the kindness of the Kinsmen Club of St. John’s, Bell Island boys are able to have the use of a wonderful camp.

Kiwanis members of Bell Island have offered to arrange transportation on Monday morning from the Boys’ Club to the Beach. The boys will be transported from Portugal Cove to camp by a bus of United Bus Company.

Visiting day at camp is Sunday, July 13^th, and it is expected that many campers parents will come to camp from Bell Island for the day.

Camp Director is E.A. COTTON and his assistant is Malcolm HIGHMORE, Senior Counsellors at camp will be Gerald NORMORE, Leo FOWLER and Thomas POWER. Hut captains will be appointed on arrival at camp.

We regret that the camp holds only 64 campers and for this reason we had to disappoint a large number who wanted to attend. The Boys’ Club had to work on a first come, first served basis.

Parents of campers will be able to learn of the progress of camp through Dosco News Bulletin and other broadcasts.
