Girls Raise $92 for Sick Children's Hospital Eleven-year-olds, Chris Roine, Jackie Lamers, Andrea Blair, Cheryl Anyan, Tara-Lee Allin, Sue Hartford, Ann Lamers, and Roxanne Jaspers-Fayer are prepared to give their riders a whirl. The girls organized and executed their fund-raising carnival, Sept. 7, completely on their own. The $92.00 raised will be donated to Toronto Sick Children's Hospital. by Jean Ahlvik "You will go to live in New Brunswick and drive a yellow car," muttered the diminutive gypsy as she gazed in her crystal ball. The scene of this startling prophecy was the lawn of 10 Concession St., home of Mr. and Mrs. D. Allin, the myster- iou-ssage, a young lady of fair rather that dusky hue, named Susan Hartford. Oi Saturday, Sept. 7, eight enterprising 11-year-olds, Cheryl Anyan, Andrea Blair, Roxanne Jaspers-Fayer, Christine Roine, Sue Hartford, Jackie Lamers, Ann Lamers and Tara-Lee Allin held a 1 T SEMS - 1 Ar_ ifOB'S TOWING 24-HOUR SERVICE REPAIRS PHONE 723-6624 R. R. 3 - Bowmanville carnival to raise money for Toronto Sick Children's Hospi- tal. In addition to the fortune teller, there was a fish pond where everyone won a prize. The craft booth offered wares which the girls had spent the month of August making. Things for sale included: wooden wall plaques, decorat- ed felt bookmarks, felt and magnet fridge stick-ons, pot scrubbers and jean patches. A hall throw and two original rides topped off the carnival atmospbere. A long cardboard cylînder accom- modated as many as three children while two girls lustily pushed them back and forth across the lawn. Mrs. Allin philosophically sighs, "The lawn was rolled". Children had to spin a wheel to determine the number of slides, they would get on the Happy Slide. The novelty here was a swing door which the slider broke through as he landed. Another money maker was the lucky draw for a stuffed dog. The girls began in early August and sold 148 tickets for the dog. Each girl was assigned two books of tickets to sell, but most exceeded their quota. The stocks of popcorn and koolaid at the refreshment stand were replenished by Mrs. Allin during the after- noon. The girls estimate that about 50 people attended and although this figure was a little disappointing (they had posters everywhere including Oshawa), they were very pleased by the amount of money raised. Kudos to these young ladies who have been working and planning for their carnival all summer. They did everything completely on their own, even to selling wooden barrels early in the summer to raise their working capital. On September 23 they will take the GO Train to Toronto to make their donation per- sonally to the Toronto Sick Children's Hospital fund.

THE MOST EFFECTIVE ONAOCATION CARPET CLE ANING PRO CESS EVER DEVELOPED Deep Steam Extraction does just what its name implies. Through the application of saturated steam in a controlled spray, it breaks up, emulsifies and suspends the dirt particles ... and then extracts them from the car et. The method is efficient and thoroug ...et ever so entle. It is equally effective on delicate an expensive fabrics as on rugged and moderately-priced fabrics. The result of the Deep Stim Extraction methods may be evidenced by the dirt which comes'out of the carpet and through the machine. The fabric is left revitalized and renewed ... and not only looks clean . . . but LASTS clean for a longer period of time. The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

It was also suggested that the two Museums should take a good look at their respective positions and decide where they will go from here and what they should reflect of our the Elmhurst Hotel, Wilmot Creek Cove retirement park will be good for the Town of Newcastle.

With over 3000 people in attendance, the event seems to have been a terrifie success. Youngsters mounted suc- cessful challenges in several events previously considered adult preserves. Gary Lock- hart 15, and Doug Collins demonstrated their youthful zeal by winning the 400 yard hip boot race. This event demands an aggressiveness that would not be out of place on an N.F.L. football field. It features a 200 yard downhill dash, a 20 yard Darlington marsh splash (around the marker peg) and then a smash through the line of slower competitors and back to the starting point. The adults tried to block the boys' spurt but Lockhart and Collins tolled out of the resulting tangle and were on their way before the dazed adults could get their bearings. Young Johp De Jager R.R.4 Bowmanville won a turkey when he entered the turkey shoot, 40 ards paper target, with adul teammales. Bullfrog racing was a great er ow d le aser. Caroline Campbe1,,three- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Campbell, of Courtice Road North, won the championship with her pet bullfrog "Go." Second place went to 'Jerimiah", the bullfrog of ten-year-old Shawn O'Donnell of Seagrave. Tracy O'Reilly of Toronto, whose pet bullfrog "Herbie" had been disqualified in the heats, entered the finals. "Herbie" bounded over the finish line third. Other popular events for the younger set included the junior air rifle target shoot and the duck head whittling contest. Contestants from across the province pitted their talents in the duck calling and retriever trials and the claybird (dick- shooting) event which was conducted under actual hunt- ing conditions. To qualify for the grand championship com- petitors had to ace in five of six categories. Geoffrey Arthur Goode, 17 months, is the son of Brenda and John Goode of Church Street.
