Mr. Spencer was raised in Bowmanville, attending the South Ward and Central Schools and also Bowmanville High. He worked in the office off the Goodyear for three years, be- fore going to Prairie Bible In- stitute, Three Huis, Alberta.

C: McRuer upset the hog cart by declarîng invalid the vote held last July. Once again the marketing picture is in a turmoil until an- other vote can be held. Those littie pigs are certainly causing a great deal of confusion. No longer can it be said that "they just went to market". t t i .t tt HEARING NEXT WEEK - The appeal on the two liquor questions which were voted on last faîl and defeated here will be held in Cobourg next Thursday, March 5th. Evidence will be presented by a large riumber of witnesses concerning alleged irregularities in the voting. No information has been reheased from either the town or the Citizens Committee conéerning any defense which they may present. Hearing starts at 10 a.m. t. t t t t FLOOD DANGER - Port Hope is still very worried about the danger of floods in their community. They have set up a flood emergency committee, established an emergency cali of three 30 second blasts on the f ire siren and arranged for sand bags. It is a nice com- fortable feeling to be sitting on a mound between two valleys such as we have in Bowmanville, but with al the snow there is piled up in the north, we too could be in some danger if a sudden thaw, plus rain, should strike. 1t t t t t PLAYOFFS STARTING - This weekend, the Comn- bines wil open their Intermediate playoff series with Minden, starting on Saturday here. They played their first game in Bobcaygeon Weclnesday night. Third game will be here next Wednesday. Ail games at 8:30. The teamn is in great need of support, not just moral, financial as well. So, let's be on hand to give them a lift. Incidentally, the Midgets and Juveniles appear to be well on their playdown trail after knock- ing off ail opposition which has reared its head to date. Their games, if you haven't seen any, provide plenty of pep and excitement. Keep an eye out f or the next one. t t t. t t FIR&- FIGffTING- HELP - -ý-ýBowmnanvillets Fire Brigade will have help in the form of additional, much-needed water at the next blaze in the west end *off Darlington, if arrangements work out. as planned. There is a volunteer group in the Varcoe area, formed somne time ago, who have acquired a truck complete with a 550 gallon water tank. If they are notif ied, they * will rush their.truck to the scene, filling up at the hydrant just inside the Oshawa border. It might be worthwhile cutting this bit out and putting it along.. side the telephone. Numbers to call in this order are Jim Castie RA 8-1006, Gerald Estabrooks RA 5-9959, Tom Iliffe RA 5-5437 and Guy Chambexr1in RA 5-4925.

John W. Foote, V.C., member of Durham. The bill authorized the Town of Bowmanville's issue of debentures for sidewalks, sewers and watermains. The story carried a statement bý- J. W. P. Carter, Deputy Municipal Affairs Mînister, that the bill was need- ed to legalize projects ordered by th& town clerk without a by-law. "He just went ahead as though he was running his own back garden. He was replaced hast fail, and now they are uncovering his commitments", said Mr. Carter in the Canadian Press story. His Worship, Mayor Wilfrid Carruthers, gave the following statement on the subject to The Canadian Statesman. Alick Lyle, the former Bowmanville Town Clerk, could not be reached for comment. The Mayor's statement: "In view off the fact that a private bill was passed by the Ontario Provincial Legisiature to authorize the $46,640 deben- turc issue for local improve- ments in Bowmanville, and a Canadian Press release on the subject received some publicity, an explanation may be in order. "This procedure was necessary because the local improvernents in question had flot been sanc- tioned, or approved, by the On- tario Municipal Board beffore construction took place. The debenture covering the cost could flot be issued until ap- proved.__The paymentsby the property holders on these local rimprovements (sidewalks, sew- ers, etc.) dating back several years, have simply been defer- red. In the meantime the town has borrowed money at the cur- rent rate of interest. No Question of Integrlty "Council regrets that thIs should have happened as it is not good publicity for the town. In defense of the former clerk. Mr. Alick Lyle, and in order to clear up 3fly rumours which may be circulating, it should be stated that Mr. Lyle's honesty or integrity is flot questioned on any matters relating to his form- er position as town clerk and treasurer. "Some things were done which did not conform to the rules and regulations under which munici- palities must operate.
