C.Industrial Commissioner Ken Morris made the draw at his office. He picked a coupon with the name of 12-year-old Michael Myers, 77 Elgin St., Bowmanville, on it. On the back was the Western Tire Store Stamp, so both won new Polaroid cameras, which the young winner and Proprietor Alvin Boyd of Western Tire are showing in this photo. Michael Myers, son of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Myers, is an avid camera f an and the envy of his playmates this week. The next draw will' take place for cameras on or about October l5th, so start filling in those coupons now if you would like bo own a "picture-in-a-minute" Polaroidcamera.

Captain Norman Coles, resi- dent Salvation Army Officer, stated in a recent interview that the two-storey building would be used primarily for youth work. "One of the main challenges which faces every church is its work among those who will be the men and women of tomorrow"~, he ob- served, "and for this reason we feel the new accomodation will afford us better oppor- tunities for our spiritual and character-building programme among the young people." ÇBits andc1 £Aeces NEW BUS SERVICE - It was announced last week that Orono will have a direct bus service to and from Toronto. Buses will leave Orono at 8:39 a.m., arriving in Toronto at 10:15. They will leave the city at 6 p.m., landing in the village at 7:32 p.m. Police Trustees have been urging such a service fqr the past two years. Later, if this plan works well, the service may be extended to the Peterborough area. t t KENDAL WINS TROPHY- Af ter, an- on '-again, off again baîl series, Kendal on Monday defeated Welcome to take the South Durham Basebaîl title in Kendal. This game was 3-2 and some of the Bowmanville players on the Kendai team suggest that if the series had continued much longer, Welcome might have taken them. Bates and Kilpatrick hurled for Kendal with Dafoe for Welcome. John Bird, town constable turned left fielder, slapped a triple 'in the third, scoring two ahead of him. ANOTHER BIG FAIR - This weekend will see Lindsay's always outstanding Fair in action. Af ter the CNE and local f airs, this is always a must for those who enjoy the feilowship, the iivestock exhibits and the other entertainment. The promoters suggest that Lindsay's affair will be even bigger tha n ev er. .j NEWS HELD OVER- As this is being written, our hard-pressed staff is busy trying to cram the flood of news into 14 pages. So, we have deleted any reference to the United Nations ail-star show, the crazy demonstrations which frenzied Ameni- cans are making, plus, we regret to say, consid- erable local news. However, there is another paper coming next week so the hold over material will appear then. Please be patient. i T t i SHAW'S NEED HELP- At the Kurv Inn fruit and vegetable stand this weekend, Shaw's Home & School will be making their annual pitch for funds. So, if you like fresh vegetables, corn, apples, etc. - but no cider this year - pay them a visit. They'll be happy and you'll be able to f ill the bin with good food. t. -1 t jt j NEW SERVICE CLUB - Rumor has it that there may be a new service club in town in the near future, if present efforts to organize one are successful. Scouts from Oshawa and Peterborough Kiwanis Clubs have been looking over this area as a prospective site for a new Kiwanis Club. i t t T t QUEER SPUDS- We are îndebted to Claude Kilmer of Higgon Electric for a couple of the oddest looking potatoes we have ever seen. One is growing in the neck of a pop bottie and the other bas a garden bose bracket wrapped around one end. Unfortunately, details of where they were grown are not available, but we suspect tht land must have been either f ilf or a former dump. t i. . i. t BADMINTON STARTING - Now that Faîl jr bere, the Bowmanville Badminton Club is aboui ready -to open for the season. They plan a danc on October lst and on Oct. 3rd a round robin wil. officially open the playing season. Everybody is welcome to corne an d play or watch. t , T OUR ERROR - In the report of the Rotary meet. ing on Friday, the narne of Howard Rundie appears as one of the speakers. We understand it was bis brother John who gave the address. Sorry. but we did keep it in the family, which is something. ..

Steady Line-up Ail Day For Rotarys Car Wash The Bowmanvîlle Rotary Club's Annul Car Wash, held all day Saturday, proved to be most successful, as the numer-ý ous bright and shining cars seen driving along the streets testified. Rex Walters, a past president of the club, who was chairman of the project, stated that the event was an out- standing financial success, and also served as a tremnendous boost in fellowshîp. The Rotarians armed with chamois, paîls, and other im- piements, worked with a will and much energy et their car cleaning tasks. Mr. Welters reported that 17 and a halt cars went through the line each hour. This means that through efficient team work it only took three and a haif minutes to thoroughly wash and dlean a car. Duning the day nearly 200 cars were washed. In addition the Bowmanville Rotary Club receivel several donations, and a number of people, who were unable to be in town for the Car Wash on Saturday, had purchased tickets.
