Page 12, Thursday, December 9th, 1971, WHITBY FREE PRESS continued from page 6 Toronto publ ic to come to an open house at the paper. Because of working con- di tions and I imited space, publisher Doug Creighton wasn'texactly thrilled withthe ideabutthe invitation was made and the publc came. . . by the thousands! It was an open house The Sun will never forget, especially the employees on the top floor. Open house was scheduled to star t at the Eclipse Building (Fome of the Sun) at5:00p. m. lastThursday, but visitors started coming just after four. The rec- eption area was the third floor which was in t h e t h r o es of renovation. Visitors were advised to dress warmly because a w aill had been knocked out to remove some heavy machinery. Remaining wall s were ail cove red in a fine dust from the recent sand blasting. Af t e r t r u d ging up three flights of w ooden stairs, visitor s were greeted to a scene that looked like a carnival. President of McDonald's Hamburgers, George Cohon, had arranged for the L e s l i e Street drive-in to supply free orange drinks and hot apple turnovers. Visitors who weren't-fond of orange drinks found there was free beer to be had and just past the orange drink stand B i il McLean was giving out free Monte Franks. Assisting in thi s operation was Miss Monte Frank...in hot pants, a lovely girl named Marilyn Ward. There was even wine, compliments of Andres Wines. Playboy Bunny Excitement grew and the crowd swel- 1ed till it seemed like the floor might be in dan g e r of collapsing. About 6:45 a 1 o v e 1ly Pl1 a yboy Bunny from Ok inaw, L e i k o English, dropped in to give her b le s sings to the open house, which at this point, turned into a party. Musical entertainment was provided by a group cal led the "Climax" and as- s i s t ed by Jim Gailoway, leader of the M e t r o Stompers, Jimmy Abercrombie o f the same band, and Alistair Lawrie jazz cri tic for the Globe and Mail. Rim- stead sat in on the drums and the crowd loved it. One window to the east side of the floor was completely blocked by a gig- antic pyramid of empty beer cans but the vibrations from the band were so fierce, the "work of art" collapsed with an ac- companying roar from the crowd. Most of the Sun staff were seen at one t im e o r ano ther wandering around as well asDick Shattoandmusician, Buddy Tate. On the top floor the scene was much worse because there simnply wasn't en- ough room for the throngs of people asc- e nd ing the st ai rs. A few of the s taff lo o ked r ather wil d-ey ed as they tr ied to work at get ting out a newspaper be- fore deadi ine. At one point a copy boy was seen c h a rging down the stairs with a Star, un der his arm. Somebody demanded to know why he had a Star and he explain- e d , "Somebody threw up at the bottom of the stairs so i'm going to cover up the mess with the Star!" And so it went until 9:00 p. m. when pub 1 i sher Creghton, lost the mood of gracious host and kicked everybody out. it w ou id probably be more accurate to describe the whole affair as a coming- ou t p a r ty rather than an open house,' but whatever you call it, it was a great j »Ijtbp fre rt _____NAM_ Box 206, Whitby.
