The parade led bythe Kinsmen Club of Lindsay, was most enjoyable for participants and watchers alike. The Brownie float depicting the Year of the Child with littie girls dressed in costumes of various countries and bearing flags of the same, was judged the best. There were 'many excellent entries, and the judges must have had a difficuit time selecting the winner. Every participant received a free pop. Those who organize such events and those. who take part really deserve a great deal of credit for doing Sa. George Neals, our reeve, led the parade - sitting on top of the fire truck. Ms. Pontypool was a float attracting considerable attention, with its bevy of young ladies (?) wearing becoming bikinis. Sherwood Forest Plnewood Crescent also received com- mendation, and the assort- ment of bicycles, dol carniages, and pets, to say nothing of the beautiful horses proved that living in a. small village is no detriment to the production of an excellent parade. There were many varied activities packed into. the weekend program. Next week's column will list the prize winners, land give a more detailed account of Pontypool Summerfest. 1Bail Games Friday, July 13th, Nestieton over Pontypool 3 - 2. Sunday, July lSth, Port Perry over Pontypool 8 - 1. This Friday, July 20 is Pontypool against Yelverton in Nestieton Park. These are games for Pontypool Generals. Other News Every good wish for better health is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Andy Sutch Sr. Andy and Mary have bath been under the weather recently and we certainly hope to hear of imrpovement soon. Mrs. Nancy Bandelewicz of Caledon East visited with the Gerald Fisk's over the week- end, and enjoyed seeîng aid friends once more. The renovations in the United Church are proceeding well. The new paint job bas given a much needed lift' ta the walls and we are hoping to have our new floor coverings down before the summer weddings.' It seems that no matter Liberal Candidate Thankas Hia JVorkers where one goes, there. is always someone who knows something about one 's previous life - a fact which could be good or bad I suppose. Just recently, two of our local ladies attended the 50th Anniversary of Castleton School, each unaware that the other was going. There were 450 people a t the dinner and dance held in Coîborne Mrena, and on Sunday an "At Home" took place in the old school itself. Imagine the surprise of Jean Grant and Jessie Fisk to find that each had attended the same school (a few years difference ini the time) and that Jean's mother and Jessie had gone to school together. A most pleasant weekend ýwas spent and Jessie also visited with friends and relatives in the Morganston, Orland area on the Sunday. Best wishes for successful surgery go to Frank Stacey who is presently in Oshawa Hospital. Mr. Steve Angiers called on bis in-laws, the Gerald Fisks, over the weekend. He was in Toronto with an Air Canada bail team to play games on Saturday and Sunday. Steve and is friend AI would have gladly traded a1 whiff of Vancouver's fog for our current heat wave, especially in the bail park. Harry and Frances Van Weiringen have been enter- taining relatives from Holland. Ronnie took bis cousin and fiance on a visit to brother John and family in Kincarden. Brenda also bas been a welcome visitor with ber family. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hamilton and family have returned from a week's holiday at a cottage near Apsley on Chandos Lake. They report a pleasant and relaxing vaca- tion. We are happy to report that Dorothv Dewar is makine good progress in her recovery from a severe bout of hepati- tis. She is stili farm from well yet--but with rest and T.L.C. (tender loving care) provided by husband Keith, we trust that Dorothy will soon regain ber health. The cars seemed to roll in the driveway of Shadilane Farm on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Scott were callers on the Fisks, and also Mr. and Mrs. Art Youngman. Since Gerald and Art were neigh- bours many years ago they had much to catch up on. Where were ail these people when we were drawing in hay?? Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Fallis are visiting relatives in the Mari- times. They travelled by plane, and we are sure they will enjoy their visit with Yvonne's brothers and their families.

W.D. Johns, commissioner of social services for the Durham Region, said that the daily cost of accommodation at the centre is nine dollars per day, up one dollar from previous rates. "The additional dollar per day is the straw that breaks the camel's back," said Mr..Johns in reply to a question raised at a meeting of Durham Regional Council last Wednesday. He noted that it used to cost $40 per week for day care at the centre but it now costs $45. Statistics, from the Social services department indicated that the centre's operating efficiency has ranged from 44 per cent to 52 per cent between January and May of this year. Figures for the same period in 1978 ranged from 56 per cent to 78 per cent. Interment Mount Lawn Cemetery. Rev. Fraser Lacey officiated.
