We neglected to mention ,that the former Charlie Penwarden had actually found the paper. Mr. Byers didn't want anyone to think he was taking ail the credit for the discovery. t t. t t. i PRESENT - Along the same vein, Mrs. Harold Muir, wife of Darlington's Reeve, has been taking quite a kidding because her narfle was inadver- tently omitted from the head table list at the recent warden's banquet in Cobourg. We had clipped this item from another newspaper but now find that we aren't the only people who make mistakes. Mrs. Muir not only was there, alongside the Reeve, but she had taken the night off frorn her duties at Memorial Hospital to be present.t LAST ISSUE - Once again The Statesman con- cludes a year of weekly publication. Starting next week, it will commence its ll2th anniversary. This end of year edition is not too large due to the short week, the long holiday and the fact that niany of the large advertisers did flot insert their store news. There may be some stories held over for next week. Also, customers are advised that The Statesman office will be closed on Mon- day to compensate the staff for the New Year's holiday that falîs on a non-working day. t. i. t i.t i. OLDSTERS - At the Arena last night, a. good crowd turned out to watch O.M.H.A. graduates in action against both the Juveniles and Midgets. Incidentally, some of the grads were in OMHA category quite a number of years ago. Surpris- ingly, the old timers took on both younger teams in separate encounters and showed them the facts of life and experience. They beat the Midgets 6 to 1 and the Juveniles Il to 1. No major injuries were registered and the details of funds raised have flot been released. t t t t t NEW YEAR'S - Those who are planning to cele- brate the incoming year on Friday eveniong would be well advised to watch their alcoholie intake very closely . . j especially if they are driving their cars. As usual at this frantic time of year, police will be out in full force to preverit ordin- arily sensible folks from killing or maiming eacli other. So, watch it or you may be holding that New Year's Eve party in the rather confining quarters of a jail celi. And they aren't built for comfort! i. t t t it SAFETY - The current issue of the Highway Safety News includes a rather gruesome but al too true slogan: "If you smoke iii bed, the ashes you leave may be your own." t t I t t PLASTIC - Dr. Dymond, Minister of Health, issues a warning this week against the use of refreezable plastic ice balls and novelties for cooling drinks, originating in Hong Kong. Appar- ently, the water content lias been examined and shows a high degree' of contamination, making their use in drinkcs a health hazard. Better stick to locally made ice cubes. t t t t t SALES - The January inerchandise sales are getting away to a good start and will be going ail out for the next few weeks. This la a won- derful time to do next year's Chviitmas uhop. ping . . . that is, if you have any mn.y left after the big spending spree that lias'juet cou«. cluded. k- ~.1 I r ' ~.. ~ 4 y iii ~ N r a 1 -- , 1 lge Per Cnnx- MTTuinv.l:?
