BOWLING IS a tradition with the Jamison children.
Theda, 7, receives instruction from her brother,
James, and sister, Nancy.

The other children,
Timothy, has a 181 average,
Susan usually bowls around
155. Jerry, who is 10, is beginn-
ing to work his way up the
ladder. Theda, 7, is not quite
ready to bowl but is interested.
Formerly considered strictly
a blue collar sport, “bowling
has come into its own recently.
Millions of dollars have been
spent on publicity on radio and
television by the national
organization to bring the sport
to the public’s attention,”
pointed out Mrs. Comelison.
The Women's Bowling
Association is a group of
organized women bowlers
whose purpose is to conduct
and manage annual tour-
naments, setting down rules
and by-laws for tournament

since Denver will be
celebrating its centennial
along with Bicentennial
festivities.
“Most women bond for the
fun and excerdse,” comments
Vivian Morgan, president of
BWBA, the Baytown branch.
“We have bowlers whose
averages range from 80 to 182
and whose ages range from
high schoolers bowling in adult
leagues to grandmothers over
60.
“Any bowler who wants to
bowl in a league or tourna-
ment must be sanctioned by
the association. That is the
only restriction. Otherwise, all
women interested in bowling
may join.”
A longtime bowler, Mrs
Comelison offered three tips
to beginning bowlers,
prepared with 'the right
equipment; be considerate and
learn bowling etiquette; ask
the proprietor of the center
about specific regulations and
