They unsealed the huge room that has housed the thousands of bushels of McIntosh apples since last fali. This room hias been under what is called Controlled Atmos- phere which keeps the apples dormant during their hibernation period. This weekend, these Macs wili be placed on the market just at a time when the regular cold storage apples have started ta Jase their appearance and taste. The C.A. apples will take over the fresh fruit business for thé next few weeks, because they taste as good as freph picked apples. t it t t t HUNTING SAFETY - Last week, we published a short article advising that Hunting Safety Courses are being arranged for this district in an effort ta reduce the number of accidents.

Lloyd Quinton has issued information that may put the chill back into the bones. A total of $10,340 was spent here during the winter for the removai of ice and snow from the streets. More than 1,000 loads of the stuff were hauled away and dumped into Lake Ontario. The winter before, no snow removal was necessary.- Incidentaily, rnany farmers and gardenerg are ciaiming the snow must have been pure powder. Certainly, they have been amazed at -4. eiack of moisture in the land after such an intensive j winter. t . .t t t i.

In.- New-Field Horse Racing Two- of the popular West brothers from Orono-stars of local hockey teains for the past several years - have taken on a side-line that should provide thein with even more excitement than scoring goals. Both Junior and Keith "GraniPs" West have bought race hors- es of the pacer type. Junior bought a geldlng last fali by the naine of "Worthy Melody" and Keith Is now the proud owner of a, 10-year-old stallion called "Modern Council". They were purchased in Montreal and will be trained and driven 1-y well known Mac MacRae. Last weekend, both took part ln races and came second against a fast field. The two pacers will winter at the Orono Racing Stables and may be seen ln Toronto this spring or fali if they are working ont weIl. Worthy Melody has done the mile in 2:03 minutes and Modern Council's time is 2:06. Another player on the Combines' teain, Gerry Rob- inson, bought a trotter last year, but didn't.have much success with it, according to reports. Junior says he and Keith bought theirj animais because they are just farm boys at heart and love horses. If they don't run well,I who knows, the boys may pass along the secrets of their scoring techniques and put skates on thein for next Year's teain.

Letters were read from Darlington and Newcas- tle that they wîshed an inde- pendent board of arbitration ta decide the site for the Clarke School. Bowmanvile and Port Hope have left the matter in abeyance, but it was understood that Hope Township has given consent ta the debentures. The secretary-treasurer, Wal- ter Reynolds, was instructed tO write a letter te the four Caun- cils who have flot given appro- val asking them ta consider a meeting with their representa- tives on the board ta receive information on the urgency of the situation. Clrec Alirpeenta- the board, had first expresged the opinion~ that;- "The Clarke site is the ertiXltit the situation. The board should be big enough ta go along with the eus from Newcastle and Clarke for an unbiased cornmittee. "Newcastle Council members have assured me they would go by its decision withaut com- ment. The situation between the twa localities is seriaus, and it will neyer be overcame with your suggestecl plans. The only way there will ever be har- mony is ta, have the matter de- cided by outsiders as request- ed," Mr. Allun stated. The building comxmittee re- ported that architects have been scen, and described their plans and proposais. It was de- cided ta, engage one architect for the Darlington High School, and anpther architect for the Clarke and Milbrook Schools. This decision cannot be put into effect until approvals from five municipalities,' a majority, are received, it was pointed out.

Indicative of growth during the past 12 months in the thriv- ing area covered by the direc- tory, more thian 47,000 copies are being sent out this year com- pared with some 43,000 last year. Locally, distribution has increased from 3,500 ta, 3,700 copies. Recause af the many additions and changed listings contained ini the latest editiai, J. W. Lowry Bell Manager fer this area, has ,suggested that telephone. users here discard their aid books as soon as the new ones are re- ceived. The telephone company has customer service in mincd in asking that the aid books be thrown out. "Past experience," the Bell manager said, "has shown that wrong numbers and unnecessary calis ta Informa- tion result if customers don't discard their old books." Mr. Lowry pointed eu t that one good way ta avoidi confusion was for telephone users ta bring up-to-date their personai tele- phone number books and use tihem as a handy reference be- fore placing a cail ta frequently- called numbers. To facifitate the use of personai number books, the Bell Telephone has an in- dexed blue book availabie free af charge at the business office serving Bowmanville.
