The 23 floats in the parade in- cluded Little Red Riding Hood, Robin Hood, elves and a shoe- maker, an _ authentic stage coach, a giant centennial cake, an 1867 Christmas dinner, and of course, Santa.

AMBASSADOR SENDS THANKS An Oshawa man who inter- cepted a radio distress signal to save two ship - wrecked Americans was formally thanked recently in a letter from the U.S. ambassador at Ottawa. Jack Renshaw, 333 Oshawa Blvd. N., picked up the May Day distress call from 3,000 miles away off the Oregon coast Oct. 22. After picking up the signal, Mr. Renshaw alerted the au- thorities and the two sailors in a storm-tossed cabin cruis- er were rescued in a matter of citizens with the support of| of a few hours. W. Walton Butterworth, am- bassador, said in the letter: "I wish to take this oppor- tunity to send you my appre- ciation for the action you have taken and my congratu- lations on your 'unlimited' range Citizens' Band Radio. It must be of great satisfac- tion to you to have had so vital a part in implementing this rescue." HOLD HANDS judge in the city court asked the female plaintiff in a case to hold his hand.

"Over the last few years, all wages have risen but the basic cost of transportation has not, and this makes travel within the reach of more people." He said Florida and the is- lands were the big sellers and he had a few people going away on cruises and to Aus- tralia and New Zealand.
