Volume 120 Number 44 Booster Button Bliti Saturday Bowmanville's Santa Claus Parade Committee will attempt to raise $1500 through the sale of booster buttons, this Saturday. The parade will take'place Saturday, Novem- ber 23, and is expected to cost more than last year, the price of bands and materials for floats having gone up. Last year, the total cost of the Santa Claus Parade was $2,600, of which $1,286 was raised through booster buttons and the rest came from donations from the service clubs, merchants, industry and professional groups. This year, for the first time there will be a booster button blitz, with local Scouts, Guides, Cubs and Brownies canvass- ing all the homes in Bowman- ville. The young people will be around this Saturday asking for donations in return for booster buttons. The theme of this year's parade is "It's a Small World". The portrayal of that jolly old character from the north will be done by Ed Leslie. A host of dignitaries, M.P. Alan Lawrence, M.P.P. Alex Carruthers, Regional Chairman Walter. Beath and Mayor Garnet Richard will all be part of the parade. Eight bands from Bramp- ton, Toronto, Oshawa and Bowmanville have been en- gaged. This year's parade may have a few horses; arrangements are being made by Ken Nicks. The Committee's Chairmen are Kay and George Stephen, the treasurer D.R. "Bud" Allen and secretary Donna M. Fairey. Special committee chairmen are John Pogue, Advertising, Public Relations, and Finance; Kingsley Van Nest, Floats; Mike Lootsma, Fillers; and Marilyn Cole, Costumes.

Mrs. Bell has been very cool about her good fortune. She gave half of her winnings to her mother, Mrs. Emily Wichman of Oshawa, and both ladies have invested the money. Mrs Bell buys a ticket on the Legion draw every month but, hike most people, neyer expected ta win. At first she thought of buying various husband, Glenn Bell, suggest- ed that she should keep it as her own money. He offered to help her invest it. This is what she finally elected to do. In fact, she never really saw any of it in cash, which probably cut down the inevitable temp- tation to spend rashly. Members of Regional Coun- cil took a bus tour of the Newcastle Area on Thursday.

Il BITS us PIECES |H WATCH FOR GOBLINS - Tomorrow is Hal- lowe'en Night, when spooks, and goblins will be around looking for treats or tricks. There could be several with UNICEF boxes too tryng to raise funds for the underprivileged children of the world. We suggest it would be advisable to take in any moveable objects around your place that might tempt some of the wanderers. ortunately, there aren't too many outhouses left to upset; they used to be fair game. SHOOT OUT - Next Monday, 7-year-old Eve- lyn Kennett, daughter of Joe and Eveline Ken- nett, Bowmanville, will experience a real thrill when she dons skates at Maple Leaf Gardens and tries to score on the Toronto Toros goal- tender. The event is part of the CHUM shoot- out, but we don't know quite what happens if she scores. Do they sign her up for the Toros? LONG WAIT - This morning, we happened to see an elderly couple resting on one of those Legion benches near the Town Hall. Naturallybeing nosey we engaged him in conversation and from his remarks ained the impression that he was waiting for the Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 2nd. We suggested he might have a long wait because the parade won't be until Nov. 23rd, over three weeks away, but he insisted it was Nov. 2nd in the paper. He wasn't there this afternoon, but we hope he'il be back for the parade. TURN CLOCKS BACK - If there are any sub- scribers whose time pieces are still on Daylight Saving time, we would suggest they might turn their clocks and watches back an hour. It happened sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning and we must apologize for not mentioning it in The Statesman. We thought of it earlier in the week and then completely forgot about it until the day after the paper came out. However, it's better that way than it was a couple of years ago when we announ- ced it a week early. Sometimes, we are just not too bright. RIGHT UP THERE - Tom Simpson who played the early years of his hockey career here, is doing well with the Toronto Toros. On Monday, he was responsible for two goals, including the winner in their 7-3 victory over the Phoenix Roadrunners. He certainly is not taking a back seat to stars such as Paul Henderson and Frank Mahovlich, also with the Toros.
