CONFUSED PICTURE - The diffîculty of obtaining unanimity among merchants bas again caused some difficulty over closing hours during the Easter holi- days. Oui- information is that - at the moment - a majority o! stores will be open until 9 on Thursday evening before Good Friday. Ah wîll be closed'Fi- day, except for the regular holiday openers, and business will be as usual on Saturday.

Novice females, acting as mid-wives at the birth o! some little pigs, decided they should be cleaned up before being presented ta their mother. Apparentlv, they did a very thorough job, treating the small1 porkers as though they were babies. Tragically, when the perfumed and powdered squealers were returned te their Momma, she refused ta acknowledge they belonged to her. They didn't smell right. t t t t. t SMOKING AREA - Pity the con.siderate high school principal li Smiths Fails. He is the centre o! contra- versyr because he set aside a portion o! the school grounds for a smoking area for students. His reason- ing was that it was far better to do that than have the pupils "sneaking a drag" and "tossing butts" al over the interior of the schoal, creating a fi-e hazard. Times certainly are changing. We can well remember when any student caught smoking'on the street bef are, after or during schaol hours would have been expelled. SOME BIG - SOME SMALL - Last week we reported a huge egg and all weekend, youngsters f locked inte the office ta see and take pictures of it. In 'contrast, Louis Bi-uinsma brought in a real midget on Monday. iHis father Jan Bruinsma, R.R. 1, Hampton, collected it fromn a not quite year aid mixed Rock and Light Sussexhen.. It wei-ghed less than a hal! ounce and was 1%/" around the middle., SLIGHTLY INACCURATE- On Wednesday morn- ing, we learned that others make mistakes. Oshawa's radio station had a delightful time telling its listeners of the thrilling game in Bowmanville Tuesday night which wvas won by Bowmanvjlle-Orono Combines, with the big final in Napanee on Saturday. We only wish it were true. As most of the fans know by this time, the BOCs went down ta glorious defeat 3-2 to end their hopes.for the year. t i t t, t INGENUITY PAYS OFF- Our good fricnd Hcrb Long of Port Hope came through with a worthwhile effort recently. When the Avro Arrow program wvas cancelled, he heard of an opportunity at an LODA meeting. Joyce-Sweanor Electric had available space in the old Nicholson File factory they had purchased, s0 the plan went into operation. Now, Part Hope will have one and maybe two new industrizs organized by former Avro employees who have pooled their resources ta fo-m a custom machine shop. They receive the factory space rent free for six manths. Congratulations on taking advantage of a situation and best wishes fo the new industry. Bowmanville wvas also aware of the praject but could not compete because no factory space was available here. TWO FARM DEVELOPMENTS- Farmers received a boost and a setback thîs week. Ontario's Minister of Agriculture Hon.. W. A. Goodfellow announced a joint effort by the federal, provincial and county authorities to compensate farmers for loss of stock through rabies infection, retroactive ta April 1, 1958. Pay- ments are $250 for cattle, ý100 for horses and qO0 for sheep, swine and gonts. No details have yet been received at the Health of Animais Branch of the Canada Dept. of Agriculture. The setback came in an announcement from Ottawa that the support price for hogs will be cut ta $23.65 from $25 cwt., effective October lst. NO CANNING THIS YEAR- Through the Chamber of Commerce office, we learn that the local plant of Canadian Canners will definitely not operate this year. Stocks of some canned goods are filling storage facilities ini Ontario. Incidentally, the plant here is for sale as it is considered obsoýete for any future operations o! the company. There is a faint hopz that if and when conditions warrant it, a new, modern plant will be erected here. CHAIN LETTER GASOLINE - We have been advis- ed through the local C. of C. office that a scheme is afoot in the service station section whereby a consum- er pays $1.60 and signs up three friends for similar amounts. He will receive gasoline coupons worth $4.00 after hie sends in the $6.40. According ta the Better Business Bureau, a similar scheme concerning cigarettes was ruled as a contravention of the Lotteries Act, 50 it might be worth investigating thorough]y before investing. The C. o! C. office here can provide more details. IVALK IN COBOURG - 11,000 Orangemen and their ladies are expected to walk in Cobourg this year. For a while, there was some doubt of the location but a meeting attended by 80 representatives decided recently that the counties town would again be favor- ed with the big event. The complication ai-ose because a service club had prior dlaim ta the Victoria Park starting point. One of the groups which could be classed as a perennIal favorite with Cornz- A-Poppin' audiences will again take part in this year's production, April 2, 3, 4, at the Town Hall. It is the maie quartet shDwri here, inchiding from left to right, Deug Rackham, Ken Hockin, Dr. Keith Slemon and Samn Black. -Photo by Rehder flUWIVIN VILL, ONTLut; THUSDAY, MRCH 26h. 195 Hydro Lineman KiIIed When Unloading Poles From Truck at Hampton Algernon Hickling, age 47, Mr. Hickling rushedti t Mem- 6Qucen Street, was instantiy orial Hospital here.
