LOB INO PHONE: 985-8625 Successful weekend (From Page 1) to put a damper on things early Friday morning, the skies cleared by noon, and there were good sized crowds on hand for such traditional events as the Super Star contest and the Kiddies Parade. One new wrinkle this year which seemed to be a crowd pleaser was the play "Want- ed Dead or Alive" put on in front of the Post Office by the Borelians theatre group. It was a humourous spoof of action in an old fashioned western-style saloon. The three adult dances held Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at the Scu- gog Arena were well attend- ed with about 900 people paying to get in on the Saturday, and smaller crowds at the Thursday and Friday night affairs. Unlike past years, when there was the odd bit of trouble from a few over- zealous patrons, the crowds at the dances this year were reported to be well behaved with no unpleasant incidents. "I think the fact that as many as six off-duty uni- formed officers from the Durham Police force were on hand at each dance had a lot to do with this," said Mr. Hall. He had high words of praise for the way the police officers kept things com- pletely under control. It cost the Chamber of Commerce about $1,000 for the extra police protection for the three nights, but Mr. Hall said he believes it was worth every penny. Mr. Hall said that crowds generally this year at all events seemed to be up over the past couple of years, and he suggested that part of the reason for this was good co-operation from many merchants on Queen Street "and the operators of numer- ous booths and concession stands. ' The Chamber of Com- merce says it expects that its gross receipts from the three day Weekend will total about $12,000, and after all the bills have been paid, Mr. Hall says the Chamber will end up with a profit of about $2,500. "I'm pleased," he said. "We tried to cut down on expenses in a few areas this year. But I think that most people enjoyed themselves." This was the ninth annual Western Weekend, and it attracts visitors from all over Scugog Township and Durham Region.

Boy dies saving brother A 16-year old Beaverton youth died Friday while try- ing to rescue his younger brother who was overcome by noxious fumes while the two were cleaning out an old well on a farm near Kirk- field. Owen Jones collapsed and fell from the well ladder after he had helped pull his younger brother Lynal, 14, to safety. A passing motorist from Scarborough helped with the rescue, and then descended the 55 foot well to carry the older boy to the surface. Kirkfield is about 15 miles east of Beaverton. The Jones family had a farm near Sunderland until about 18 months ago when Mr. Lorne Jones took a job in Windsor.
