Mrs. Evelyn Brown,| fair sceretary, attributed the at-| tendance boost to the youthful] spirit brought into the fair's| governing body this year. "Everyone is doing a wonder-| ful job," she exclaimed. Highlight of the evening was the competition for the Miss Oshawa Fair, 1964 crown which was staged for the first time. Dorothy Wilson, 17, of Marland avenue, headed the field of seven to carry off the crown. "Oh, I feel terrific," she) cried, when asked how she felt. "This is the kind of thing you dream about but never feel that it can come true."

It is headquar- ters for an organization called the National Council for Libera- tion of The Congo. This group issues communiques on the pro- gress of rebellion in the neigh- boring Congo, itself as devoted to "Lumumb- ism." Patrice Lumumba, a pro- Communist premier of Leopold-.. ville, was murdered in 1961.. and describes Premier Moise Tshombe in Leopoldville. complained this week of "'interference from cer- tain foreign countries in the - service of Communist China, such as Brazzaville- Congo and Burundi." Burundi is to the east of Leopoldville Congo. POLICY CONFUSED The Brazzaville regime si headed by President Alfonse Massemba + Debat,. who over- threw conservative Fulbert You. lou a year ago.
