Frank Real Estate proceeded to hand out metrie sticks, and other commercial exhibitors did their bit in making sure no one left the fair without a souvenir. A special treat was provided Thursday night not only for people at the fair but people THE GRANADA By Ford IS COMINGI living in the vicinity as they watched the Carling Aerobatic team fly their four planes through many intricate man- ouvers. This exhibition was followed by a horse team drawing contest. Friday, Orono's main street was block to traffic as what seemed an endless procession of children made their way to the fairgrounds from Orono Public School. It was a parade of small floats made from the pupils' wagons, hundreds of decorated bicycles, and stu- dents dressed in costumes that must have exceeded the variety at Disneyland. Fr a night, was an even- ing at the harness races as the fair presented what would have to be reported as well classified races. The pari- mutuals report that $13,000 passed through that night. By Friday night the fair- grounds' gate receipts were within $300 of last year's total gate receipts, and Saturday proved to be the fair's biggest day, attendance wise. The midway was filled to capacity as numerous rides, candy floss and candy apples did their worst to chldren's stomachs. One of Newfoundland's Own provided a final crescendo to the fair as he played to a capacity audience in the Orono Arena. Armed with a squeeze box accordian and a versatile backup roup, Harry Hibbs played and sang many lively songs that one could dance a seaman's hornpipe to. At intermission, Harry signed autographs on recently pur- chased pictures of him and the group and gave away kisses ree of charge. Peter J.

P o "- I Auctioneers Have Field Day with Calves and Cakes A considerable amount of money changed hands in a hurry on Friday night at Orono Fair when the four energetic and persuasive auctioneers, in the lower picture Cliff Pethick, Arnott Wotten, Charlie Reid and Bill Mosley went to work on a receptive and high-bidding group of customers. Walter Frank Real Estate paid 7214 cents per lb. for the grand champion calf and His Worship Mayor Garnet Rickard took home the top-priced chocolate cake that sold for $72.50 which is quite a sum even at the current price of sugar. Fair President Dick Lovekin was lured into buying another cake as was Councillor Kirk Entwistle, who also bought on f or Councillor Ken Lyall. In the top picture, Charlie Reid is auctioning off a cake with Grant Werry and Viv Cowan involved in the bidding. Mayor Rickard is the chap at right in the checkered coat, holding his expensive cake that already has lost some of its icing on his tie and coat. Proposai (From Page One) The proposed development would have a gross density of 20 persons per acre, and provide direct access to the Bowmanville business area, Oshawa, and Metro Toronto. The first area developed, neighborhood one, would be near Bowmanville in the Martin Road, Base Line area. It would include a major park, two church sites, and an elementary school. There would also be pedestrian access to a park area in neighborhood two. Neighborhood two, between Hwy. 2 and the CPR, on both sides of the road runnin between Lots 16 and 17, would offer a park flanked by a junior and senior elementary school, a convenience shop- ping centre on Hwy. 2, and the site for a possible eventual community college. There would also be the option of a commuter train station. Neighborhood three, north of Hwy. 2, would have a junior elementary school, two parks, two church sites, and another neighborhood shopping cen- tre. A company spokesman said that, with approval from council, the p an could be undertaken as early as next year. The company advised the town that it would have to amend its official plan to allow for expansion to 30,000 people. It would also have to acquire lands and easements and undertake capital works to support the first neighborhood phase of construction. Finan- cing for this part of the scheme would have to be by council negotiating with go- vernment and private agen- cies. Councillor Lyall complained that it would be foolish to build more homes in the $50,000 bracket when there are al- ready many brand new homes which remain unsold in re- cently developed areas. He said the greatest need was for homes for workers making $6,000 to $9,000 a year. The Bowmanville West pro- posal was referred by council to the Town of Newcastle planning advisory committee. The next meeting of this- committee was in Hampton on Sept. 9th. Planner Dies (From Page One) since 1971, and had run un- successfully for reeve there in the last election. He was described by plan- ning advisory committee Chairman Kirk Entwisle as a "fine man" who had " a special intensity of thought.' He is survived by his wife Jeanette and daughter Dyana. His sudden death forced the cancellation of the town's regular planning advisory co mittee meeting on Mon- da night. Council Orders Usý (From Page One) br*ùWok sRe report. Coun. Christine Thomas was curious about the report. "The chief administrative officer would go to the heads of the departments to make his report and there's no head who is going to admit ineffi- ciency", she said. But Coun. Breaugh insisted that infor- mation should be obtained from other sources too, Responding to a question by Coun. Potticary, Mr. Manning admitted that he- had no formal training in manage- ment by objective but cited experience as a great teacher. Choir Leader (From Page One) Fred Fleming read an original poem which he had engraved or Mr. Metcalf. Doug Kemp, Clerk of Session, presented Mr. Metcalf with an easy chair. His mother, Mrs. J. R. Metcalf was presented with a bouquet of roses and his father, a boutonniere. The Metcalfs were celebrating their 54th wedding anniver- sary. The ladies of the church, under the leadership of Mrs. Ruth Girardi, provided a huge cake decorated with musical symbols and also coffee and lemonade. Mr. Metcalf is a man of many talents and interests. In addition to his activities as organist and choir director at St. Paul's, he is a Music Consultant with the Northum- berland and Newcastle Board of Education. He also is a noted soloist* Anyone who has attended the Christmas musi- cal evening at St. Paul's will appreciate his talent for musical production. He has recently retired as Choir Director of the Golden Legion- naires, and now is involved in a new challenge as Music Director of Kingsview United Church in Oshawa. A combined committee of the church board is in the- process of interviewing pros- pective organists for St. Paul's. Miss Louise Osborne and Mrs. Jan Rice are serving as interim organists while Alanah Coles is directing the choir. DAIRY QUEEN Nancy Knox of Hampton was chosen as this year's Dairy Princess on Fri ay at the Orono Fair. Nancy com- peted against three other girls for the honor, Ruth Chater of Orono, Sue Fice of Enniskil- len, and Ruth Kellogg of Port Hope. The contest was held in front of the grandstand and was another great feature for the fair at Orono. -miT 96 Years Young THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAV Bert Stevens with his birthday cards. September 9th is a big day for William Ethelbert (Bert) Stevens of Strathaven Nursing Home. On September 9, 1878, Mr. Stevens was born and on the same day 25 years later, 1903 (the year Queen Victoria died), he married his wife, Mary Elizabeth, now deceas- ed. So, on Monday there was quite a celebration as Bert looked back over his 96 years. Born on a farm in Huron County, Bert spent 1901 in Strathroy at the Dairy School. For the next five years he worked in creameries in Milverton, Kenvilworth, and Holstein as a butter-maker. Finally iin 1906, he and his wife moved to Darlington Town- ship to his mother's old 100 acre homestead which they rented and later bought. They farmed there until 1938 when they moved to Cheese Factory Corners. Mrs. Stevens passed on in 1969 and after a bout in hospital with pneumonia, Bert moved into Strathaven. He bas one niece, Mrs. Laverne Taylor, and two nephews, Howard Bridges and Gordon Stevens in the area. We found Bert in great spirits surrounded by birthday cards and presents. With remarkable verve and a memory that would put inany teenagers to shame, he recited some of his favorite poetry. We especially enjoyed "La- ment of the Incubator Chick', "Stick to It", and "Don't Tease the Old Man Boys", the chorus of which he sang in a strong melodious voice. With such sparkle and vitality, Bert can look foÉward to many more happy birthdays Family of (F rom Page One) median in the centre of the 401, lost control and skidded across the median, rolled onto its roof facing eastbound on the median.
