Bowmanville to the Blltz Canvass held for the aadiàrn National Institute for ý'tH Blind on Monday evéning between 7 and 8 o'clock. The canvassers were heartened by the reception they were given. Don Wilihams, chairman of the Bow- inanville West Durham Advis- OrY Committee to the CNIB, ex- pressed appreciation o! the gen- erous manner in which local yeOPl responded to the appeal. Mr. Williams told The Canad- lan Statesman that the proceeds J3il s andi received from canvassers alonet during the one hour Blitz on Monday evening amounted *.to $1.J89.43. This is not the cosn-. plete total 'o! proceeds from Bowmanville because the dona- tions from business men, service clubs and lodges that have al- ways generously supported the CNIB Canvass in the past, have not been completed.

He is son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Mitchell of the Bell Telephone Company. JUVENILE PLAYOFFS - The juvenile playoff game between Newcastle and Bowmanville which we an- nounced for last Saturday didn't take place because arrangements couldn't be made for both teams to play.

Might be a good chance for our local officiais to do a bit of scouting to see what the local Combines will be up against this year. BIG BONFIRE - Hallowe'en Night in Bowmanville may be different this year. As a wind-up of the Cen- tennial activities, the committee is collaborating with Keith Conneli of Cream of Barley Camp for a really big affair. All week long, the branches removed from trees in town have been piled high on a great bonf ire whichwill be lit for the Oct. 3lst event. All the kiddies will be given treats, so it should be a great night for everybody. Further details will be available next week.

He wa s in his 58th year. t t i t t - EFFICIENT STAFF - For two weeks, we have been attempting to publish a story about the 5th anni- versary of the establishment of rural mail service in Canada. Postmaster George Vice was most co- operative in providing some local background material, but it has yet to be assembled ini story form. So, look for it next week. In the meantime, we would like to congratulate the local Postoffice staff for their efficiency i mid reading as demonstrated last week. We received a letter addressed to "The Candaion Iware", Bowmanville. After opening it, we would eîae been displeased had they not been able to figure out the proper destination.
