ÇBttsanc1 Çieces PO$T OFFICE BUSY - The regular and seasonal staff at Bowmanville post office have been having a busy time this week. On Tuesday, 3§,000 pieces of mail were sorted and on Monday, 29,000 two cent stamps were sold. This is by no means a record, but it is keeping them hopping. Apparently. one, lady from Peterborough believes the post office staff are mind readers. She addressed a card to George and Ruth, c/o 582, Bowmanville. Signed by Aunt Mary Elizabeth, the postscript on the. card said "'Sorry i can't remember your last naine"., The people who rented Box 5,ý2 had no knowledge of this particular aunt, so someone isn't going to get their carde Aunt Mary Elizabeth. SHOPLIFTING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS - Many local merchants who have had sad experiences with people who prefer stealing their Christmas presents, will be relieved when the rush is over. So far, at least one radio, a camera worth more than $100, ash trays and a -host of other articles have been taken from local retailers. Police again warn against trusting strangers in the stores, especially when they operate in pairs. Two clerks should always be on duty. 'One chap who confessed to passing a worthless cheque here recently for over $60 was picked up in Halifax. He left a string of hum cheques fromn Saskatchewan east., t. .t it i.t t ORONO ORPHUNS HERE - Orono's famed. Orphuns were again foro ed into an intermediate teamn this year.

Speakiang of sports, Dbug Taylor had quite a night at Liberty Bowl on Tuesday. He rolled a 948 triple. t. t. t t. i WHAT A MEAL! - One of our volunteer rep orters submitted some copy this week that could have been confurzing. The article stated that the after dinner speaker gave sevçral, antidotes. Our copy checker thought this should, have been anecdotes, and we, agree. Knowing Durham cooks as We do, wedoubt if the meal was s0 poisonous that antidotes were appropriate. t t t t t BE ON GUARD - Apparently, the shapies are -at work on the local citizenry. We have heard of at least one- person who bought a machine for mixing powdered milk. The total axnount they agree to pay these elick salesmen for the machines and the powdered milk with carrying chargçs reaches nearly S$300. Manufacturers daim the machines are only Sworth about $30 and one housewife states the machine is not needed to mix the milk. If in doubt about any product, ask the saleuaman to corne back, and 'Phone the police or Chamber of Commerce office. Money is too hard to corne by to be handed over to these àomooth-talking operators.
