Well, you will be happy to Iearn that the response here was sa tremendous that community-wise, Bowmanville contributed more skates than any other place in the territory. A big thank you from Palmcr's and the Injuns wvho, we understand, have been having a wonderful time with their new blades. You just can't beat the p eopl e of this area for generosity. *1SNOWDROPS OUT - Gardening expert Art Baker cornes through with another sign that Spring is not far off. He has spotted Snowdrops peekîng through the ground on several properties. Over the wcekend, the rains certainly reminded one cf April. We, at The Statesman, had a bit cf trouble with some cf the staff. There was so much water flowing across the cellar floor that they werc ail for bringing their fishing lines and lures te trv their luck. For a while we thought we might have te caîl in the game warden to keep thcm from casting for treut out cf season. ONE ROUND TO GO - Mike Osborne's fast-skat- ing Juveniles teck the opening game in the semi- finals cf Ontario, Tuesday night at Alliston. They play back here on Saturday in the second game of the best cf seven series. The game in Alliston wvas a real thriller, so be on hand to support them. SOMETHING DIFFERENT- Kinsmen, in an 'Iattempt to clear off the small amount still owing for the arena's artificial ice plant here, have corne 'iup with something different in the fund-raising line. They plan a week-long event in May, plus a big draw, with games, rides and other attractions *instead cf their regular carnival. You'll be hear- ing more about it later.. tT. i BREAD SPREAD- A Sunbeam bread truck driver lost his vehicle early Tuesday. He parked *it near the Balmoral and when he came cut, it had departed. One used te expecit such things with horse-drawn carts, but that day has long since gone. He found it eventually. It had rolled back down the hîll, crossed the road, (fortunately missing several westbound cars), knocked ever a parking meter, coming te rest finally against a car parked ai Peter Kowal's home. - GOOD OMEN- The new Memonial Hospital r Administrator arrived Wednesday a.m. In the mail on the same day The Statesman received word from Alex Carruthers, M.P.P., that a cheque would be on its way this week te the hespital fer $73,753.33 fromn the Provincial Government, the first instalîment cn construction grants. This sounds ta us like a good start for the administrator. We'll hope his employment here will be happy and that many more cheques wîil coame in te help offset building costs. 1~ Jackson; others, from lef t te right: Stephen Withcr- spoon, Mrs. Alan Strike, Dr. G.
