Some local citizen wîth a sense S. of humor has hung a sign on one of the posts "Albert S- St. Seaway". Needless to say the neighbors have 1- been having a good deal of fun over the item. id gGOOD FAIR - Last weekend, according to reports, Port Hope's annual fair was a great success. Quite a few f rom the area attended and reported a good time. This weekend is Lindsay's big fair and starting on Monday, Oshawa will hold forth to almost conclude faîl fairs in this area.

Theirs , 1 wil b a hrc-da evntwith at least f ive prom- j ment candidates running. WATERPROOFING- At the Arena, town works dept. members have been digging deep along the north side of the building. Apparently, water has been seeping in through the foundation walls. Acoat of waterproofing will be applied right donto the footings to prevent damage in future. STRIKES SETTLED- Apparently, the General Motors strikes in the U.S. have concluded, but the parts hold up will have an effect upon Canadian production for some days or weeks. Several thousand GM employees at Oshawa have already been laid off untîl the stocks can be built up again. However, it is understood the layoff will flot last too long once the American plants are back at work. Certainly, most folks, except possîbly those who have apples te be picked will hope everything ret urns to normal very quickly. t1 MEXICANS COMING - Unofficial word bas it that two more of the world's top racing car drivers are planning to be at the Grand Prix in Mosport Park on Sept. 3th.

Word bas it that the brotherly rivalry f is s0 keen between themn that they don't real]y worry about other drivers, they are out to beat each other. Sh ould be quite a race.
