The program for the evening included swimming, dancing, baseball and a wiener roast. The group gathered at the park at 7 n.m, and minutes later the pool teemed with 40 happy young people. The parents pre- ferred to remain as spectators. By eight o'clock, everyone had moved to dry land and the base- ball diamond. Meanwhile, the Jaycees and Jaycettes prepared 240 hot dogs over an open fire. Finally the cry rang out, "Venez manger! '--"Come and get it!" The wiener roast proved a great success, for hot dogs and cckes mean the same to all teenagers, in French or in Eng- lish. After the wiener roast, the group congregated in the dance hall at the park.

OLD DAYS Las Vegas, the resort city in Nevada, was the site in 1855 of a Mormon fort built along the trail to California. warned that, among other ty i h things, the price of bread was likely to rise. In a number of communities, bread prices have risen a cent a loaf since June 20, with bakeries citing gener- ally higher costs of operation as the reason for the increase. Mr. Fleming argues that the increase in the price of Cana- dian wheat by five cents a bushel, which followed the dol-| ; lar devaluation, would account| for 'only about one-eighth or| one-ninth of a cent per loaf oi bread. 2 "The change in the price of] J wheat,, taken by itself, should not lead to a rise in the price of bread," he states. "Unless there are other and additional g factors, which make it difficult| i to hold the price line, the bak-|' ery industry should be able to absorb this increase of one- eighth or one-ninth of a cent for a 24-ounce loaf of bread.' The action of raising the price of wheat by five cents a bushel was taken by the Wheat Board following the dollar de- valuation If this had not been done, Mr. Fleming points out, there would have been some un- desirable results from Canada, price. Any such reduction in Canadian wheat prices would likely have been matched by competing wheat countries.

Man's knowledge of the lake and sea {beds is fragmentary. Let us not ibe too skeptical, lest we have a discovery on our doorstep which will stun not only our fellow skeptics, but also scientists. Due to the limitations of time, The Oshawa Times did not have time to process all the monster stories. Numbers are not conclusive. We must stress that we are proceding cau- tiously. This is what William Scatter- good, a 77-year-old retired farm- er, "livitig at RR 4, Oshawa, said about an experience he shared with another fisherman six years age" Local 222 Opposed To Auto Tax Russell McNeil, secretary- {treasurer of the 13,000-member {Local 222, United Automobile | Workers of America, said today the union is opposed to increased taxation on automobiles.

He said an automobile is no longer a luxury, but a necessity and if more taxes were added to the price of cars, there would be more unemployment in the auto- mobile industry. According to the secretary- treasurer, there is a tremend- ous revenue from licence fees and gasoline taxes for the prov- ince now.

We were after carp and mud fish. This late summer's day, we anchored, and waited! "Jim said: 'Bill, what the devil is that?' and pointed down into the water. OBJECT ROCKED BOAT "Then this great, long, dark object knifed out of the water, about six feet. It flopped back in and came toward the boat. Anchored as it was, the boat suffered a mighty blow. All in all, it was visible for two or three minutes. "I could hardly believe it--I knew nobody else would." Mr. Scattergood then told how William Scattergood, Jr., was at the Tiouse fo met them; and he told the Oshawa Times Wednes- day: "They looked good and scared all right. When Dad told me the story I laughed. I've always held it was a school of carp, or even a large lake stur- geon. But does a sturgeon leap out of the water like that? I know Dad hasn't talked much about it until he saw the story in the Times." Another reason that Mr. Scat- tergood, Sr., did not discuss the event was because at the time he rented boats. "That sort of publicity would have scared folks away", he said. In his seventies, at the time of the sighting, no details of the creature's anatomy, method of propulsion, or even size were observed by Mr. Scattergood. The shock on Mr. Scattergood's nervous system that summer afternoon must have been con- siderable. Apart from the ever popular "Nessie" in Lock Ness, the monster spotting business . this century has been good. Just a few reports chosen at random include some sea sightings. We have to include those, since with the sea lane now afforded by the St. Lawrence seaway, we should consider that: 1. "Nessie" has emigrated to Canada and wanted to bypass Customs. 2. We have a North Atlantic variety of monster. 3. We have a variety of mon- ster from almost any other sea (The ardent taxonomist (fish classifier) will sneer and say: "Ah, a Caspian or Black Sea sturgeon. These can grow up to 30 feet in length and weigh up to 3,000 pounds.) At any rate, here we go with some Twentieth Century mon- ster news: he rowed furiously for the shore. | District Man Recalls Exciting Fish Incident ster with a head like a turtle off (We suspect a large turtle here.) In 1947 the master and officers of the Grace liner Santa Clara, saw a '"snake-like head rear out of the sea about 30 feet off the star- , board bow. The creature's head appeared to be about two and one-half feet across, two feet thick and five feet long. The cylinder-shaped body was about three feet thick, and the neck about one and one-half feet in diameter. The water around the # serpent was stained red and it was thought the stem of the ship had seriously wounded the creature, causing it to thrash on the surface. Oscar Wilde might have said that the next best person to a marine biologist to happen across & monster would be a member of a religious order (of the western world). As recengly as May 1960, three Catholic priests reported seeing a huge, (Sharkiike creature in an Irish {loch. HARD TO CATCH In answer to much scepticism about the Lake Ontario monster | there is no doubt that sea mon- |sters do live at great depths in {the seas. Occasionally they are spotted in the fringes of oceans travelled by man. Specimens are rare for the simple reason they are hard to catch. Some are caught for us by those who feed on them. Whales for in- stance eat giant squid. Man seeks whales mainly for their fat (ambergris). Discovered in the mammals' bodies often are squid arms and body pieces. Scientists estimate from this evidence that squid can meas- ure up to 60 feet long with 50- foot tentacles; and weigh over one ton! Une candidate nominated for the title of the Loch Ness :mon« glesne). This creature reaches a length of 20 to 30 feet, can live longer than 20 years, is known to swim occasionally on the sur- face, and "when it swims, it throws its elongated body into great serpintine curves." When the oarfish is excited it raises a crest, or mane consisting of the anterior rays of its long dorsal fin. A few years ago an alleged oarfish, 13 feet long, was pulled out of nearby Loch Fyne. The primary argument against the oarfish is its supposed allergy to fresh water. LATENT SEA SERPENT What about eels? Well known oceanographer Dr. Wels Bruun was some years ago a member of a research expedition trawl- ing for pelagic (ocean) fish some 300 feet off the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. Out of the midst of a quivering mass of specimens hauled up on deck was an eel larva. Just one of many uncovered previously. Dr. Bruun's breath quickened as he leaned over his find -- it meas- ured six feet long. In maturity the creature would be over 70 feet long, with weight and girth to match, THIS CREATURE WAS A LATENT SEA SER- PENT. What of the recent discovery of the coelacanth -- a fish as- sumed extinct for 60 million years? n the stygian darkness and abyssmal depths of the world's seas there is little change from the ice age. Here there is ne light, no season, no variation in salinity and little change in temperature. The inference -- WITHOUT CHANGING ENVIR- OMENT THERE IS LITTLE NEED FOR EVOLUTION. For these and other reasons, not divulged, The Oshawa Times is moving with the times. As long as there are wifpesses, PRIOR SIGHTINGS In 1904 two British scientists line and licence fee revenue. reported the sighting of a mon- their reports will be checked thoroughly before publication of the facts.
