The 290 temporary enumerators working in Durham Region are expected to complete their survey in approximately two weeks. In the Town of Newcastle each enumerator is assigned to cover households in one poil and ail together there are 42 polis. Each varies in area. In some, where large subdivisions exist, two enumerators are sent out. Once contacted, residents are asked the names, ages and citizen- ship of ail occupants in the house. This information, explains assistant to services manager, Harry Sasfeville, is not only used to determine who is eligible to vote but also as census material by the municipality and province. The province uses such information when it allots grants to the municipalities based on population. The enumerators also ask house- hold owners their religion and school support to determine the allocation of education taxes. Information gathered is also used in selection of prospective jurors and to up-date assessment rolls. Once completed, the data is sent to Toronto for processing and a preliminary voters list is returned to the municipality. The municipality checks this list for any errors and omissions and once corrected uses it No, it's not the Avon Lady. It's enumerator -Jean Welsh of R. R. 4, Bowmanville. She was out gathering important information from residents for the upcoming municipal elections. Jean completed herpoll Friday. to compose a final voters list to be used on election day. Enumerators are paid on a per name basis based on population per acreage. In urban areas they receive 16 cents per name, in semi-urban areas 22 cents per name and in rural areas, 29 cents per name. This fall's enumeration will cost the province an estimated $50,000 in Durham Region alone. A lake and air search was underway this week for a Toronto man who is believed to have drowned while sailing on Lake Ontario Sunday. Ontario Provincial Police at Newcastle reported this week that Hugh William Bain, 44, was a crew member on a 24-foot sailboat participating in a clipper race which began in Oshawa. Police said a large wave hit the sailboat when Bain was stepping from the galley. The wave knocked him off the boat and numerous attempts to find him in the darkness failed.. Winds of 20 miles per hour and swells seven to 10 feet high were reported at the time of the accident. Police said the victim is believed to have fallen overboard 15 miles directly south of Port Granby. The lake was being searched during the weekend by a coastguard cutter, the COMRA rescue boat from Oshawa and two helicopters dispatched from the armed forces base at Trenton. Police said the sailboat race on Sunday involved a trip from Oshawa to Olcott, New York, and then back to Oshawa by way of Port Hope. Best Orono Fair It was the biggest and possibly the best agricultural fair Orono has ever seen. Some 7,544 people passed through the gates, says George Carson, manager of this year's fair. Mr. Carson believes that at least another 3,000 tickets were handed out as compimetary pses to, local dignitaries, exhtors and school children. The complimenta passes would bring the total attennce up to 10,000. For the first time in the fair's history it became a four day affair. Mrs. Dorothy Crago, whose family are regular exhibitors, remembers Turn to Page Two Miss Durham Central Receives Her Crown Kathie Lycett of Orono was chosen the 1978 Miss Durham Central Fair on Saturday afternoon and is pictured above being crowned bylast year's Queen Dianne Woodley while second Princess Nancy Rietmuiler looks on.

Have those bundles on the curb early in the morning and they'll be taken care of. The recycling depot will also be operating every Saturday morning from 10 until 1 p.m. WELCOME RETURN - Friends and customers were delighted to see David Smales Toy Box store back in action after being wiped out in the Annis building fire. They are located in the store formerly occupied by Shirk's and earlier Goheen's Handy Store. It wasalso good news that the burned out Stedmans store will be reopened in the Veltri Complex soon. Other changes include the Book Mill's move to the Veltri complex with their former premises being taken over and renovated by Van Belle Gardens. Work has also started on the partial demolition of the Annis building. So, things are moving. NO CANADIAN CLUB - Because prospective members of the Canadian Club of East Durham were not in sufficient numbers, the club will not be operating this year, according to a statement by the executive. This is the first time in many years that the club has not held monthly meetings during the fall and winter season. Ontario County's Canadian Club starts its fall program September 26th with Mrs. Bridget Vipond as the speaker. ARENA FUNDING - Newcastle's Arena Fund handed over another $60,000 to town council on Monday, making a total of $120,000 already raised and passed over to the town. Quite an achievement for a small community. And the work goes on to raise more so the total indebtedness can be wiped out as soon as possible. Both Orono and Newcastle would be happy to hear from anyone willing to make additional donations to the funds. Newcastle has just launched a draw for three all-expense trips, so get a ticket soon. BIG WEEKEND - There are several fund-raising events coming up this weekend. The Port Darlington Marina-Hotel Junior Cs are holding their Summerfest event at Darlington Sports Complex and the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce will be holding their Oktoberfest event on Saturday. There is also a Yard Sale on Saturday at 38 Centre St., Bowmanville, with proceeds going to the Splash project. More details of these events may be found in the advertising columns. LETTER CARRIERS - If your weekly Canadian Statesman is delivered by a postal letter carrier in town, we expect it will go through this week, and hopefully in future, if they don't go on strike. We're keeping our fingers crossed in hopes of a settlement. RUN ON WOOD - One of our staff members went to Elizabethville early Saturday to get in on the do-it-yourself wood sale from lots in the Ganaraska. There were 125 woodlots involved with about 5-600 eager customers, so they drew lots and our chap was lucky. He will now be able to go in and cut marked trees and come out with enough hardwood to last him quite a while...at $5 a cord. Nice going!
