Page 4 Bermuda Guestels When the tourist business in Bermuda started on the up­ surge shortly after the war, local hotels and guest houses catering to interracial clientel were few, and the Negro tourist trade remained a relatively un­ tapped market. Since then, however, times and conditions have changed, and with the in­ creasing tourist trade has come the increase of accommodations. Now, some 20 years later, from the need for providing for col­ oured tourists has emerged a group of guest houses whose foremost interest is to create business for Bermuda, and to help tourists feel that Bermuda is a wonderful place to spend their vacation. It is known as the Bermuda Guestels. A brief glance at the his­ tory of the Bermuda Guestels reveals that the first move to­ wards combining as a group was ten years ago. The first of these houses was Archlyn Villa, owned and operated by Mr. & Mr. Archie Minors, President of Bermuda Guestels (PHOTO BY ED KEIXYJ Mrs. Archie Minors.

In the store, Mrs. Roberts caters with things "for madame", including ladies' un­ dergarments, hats, suits, blouses, and other general merchandise.

Mrs. Eloise Dzofonoo presi­ dent of the Association ex­ plained that the seven centres were chosen to give children from each area an opportunity to hear the boys. They were:— St. James Hall in Somerset, Warwick Academy, Mount St. Agnes Academy, Berkeley In­ stitute, Prospect Secondary I t • School for Girls, Whitney Insti­ tute, and the RAA hall in St. George's. Some children enjoy­ ed the boys' playing so much 4^ that they saw the performance Anthony and David performing at Mount St. Agnes Academy two, three, or even more times. The Association was formed primarily for the purpose of bringing young artists to Ber­ muda to give concerts, in order to stimulate the musical talent that may lay dormant in some local children. Mrs. Dzofonoo saw Tony and David play in London, and on retuming to Bermuda formed the organiza­ tion in an effort to get them here. Both had their L.G.S.M. and A.R.G.M. at 17, and have been playing together since they were 12. They both started piano lessons at six, and are now under the direction of Miss Mr. ETTOI Simmons who accompanied the artists to Mount St. Agnes Tanya Polunin.

by JETHERO Bowling has made its place in history well known since it was first organised but one of its greatest achievements has been in its creative building of the young participants, and the major producer of that has been the American Junior Bowling Congress (AJBC). Not only will the echoes of the jubilant cries of the youth­ ful bowlers be heard across the Nations, but here in our own little Bermuda as well, because one can travel to the Bermuda Bowl, City Bowl and the lanes at Kindley field on each Satur­ day moming and inhale the freshness of a happy kid.
