There wili be no house to house canvass, but informatidn concerning this worthwhile agency's work will be provided and it is hoped that citizens wili voluntarily send their donations ta the Toronto-Dominion Bank here. t t i. t i. GOOD EATING - Constable Ron Parker of the local police advises that his green thumb has been working overtime. Apparently, he and his family have been enjoying unseasonai feasts of rasp- bernies, picked from their own bushes. Luther B. Nichols, Carlisle Ave., reports he too is eating home-groxvn raspberries these days. t t t STATESMAN SCOOP - We are pleased to record what in the newspaper world is called a "scoop". Recently, the front page banner headline pro- claimed John Robarts as certain of winning the Conservative Ontario leadership. The "hot off the press" papers were in the stores before the final ballot had been counted. For once we guessed right and beat every daily and weekly ta the punch. Our faces certainly would have been red if Kelso Roberts had won. t t t t t CANCEL DINNER - The annual 25-year-service dinner for Goodyear employees has been cancelled for this year. It was booked for the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, stili being picketed by strikers. Rubber union officiais advised the company that they would not cross the picket lines, and intimat- ed they migh~t join the picketers, so the dinner was cancelled. t Tt t t t ROUGH WEEK - This has been an unusually rough week for Bowmanville residents, due ta accidents and injuries. Mrs. Rupert Hamlyn, Division St., fell and broke her hip. Miss Kate Moore, Church St., broke her arm in a fall; Wilfred Johnson, Mann Ave., fell out of a tree in his garden and suffered broken ribs; Edwin "Mike" Woods, Wellington St., fell from a roof and seriously injured his back. We also learned that a former resident, Wilbur Oke of Montreal suffered a stroke. Durîng last week, the children of three OPP officers were hit by cars, but fortunately escaped serious injury. I t EARL'Y RISER - A three-year-old girl from the East Beach is really an early riser. On Sunday morning, she must have dressed hersIf and wand- ered out of the house. Roy Neads on his way ta the arena, saw the youngster and picked her up at 7:15 a.m. Too young to tell where her home xvas, she was taken ta the police station where for a while, it was thought that someone on Highway 401 might have dropped the youngster from a car. Fortunately, the frantic father 'phoned within minutes to settie the situation. t t t t t CORNER SOLD - We learn from unofficial sources that the Cox building at the southeast main corner of the town has been sold. Real estate broker Jesse Van Nest handled the sale. No other details concerning its future are available at the moment. This week, we also heard on good authority that there could be a major new industry here in the not too distant future. Unfortunately for the town, but happily for Darlington, it may be situated between here and Newcastle, provid- ing employment for a possible 200 people. This is by no means definite, but another indication that this area is on the verge of going ahead - at long last. t t t t t PLAYS FOR GARSON - Word has just been received that Terry Black, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Black, now of Sudbury, is continuing his hockey career with Garson, six miles from that city. Terry is playing for the Juveniles in that area and his many friends here will wish him much success. SPECIAL MATINEE - Apparently, Robert Dow, a former student of BHS and now a producer of theatricals in Toronto, is doing extremely well. His musical comedy "Jacques and Jili" playing at Toronto's Centre Stage, 80 Bloor East, has been held over for an extra week, until Nov. lBth. There will be a special matinee for students this Saturday at 5:30 if any of his formc~r pals would like to see him and the show. He would be more than happy to see anyone frorn Bowmanville. Claus Comung Here Bia Parade Dec. 9th Attention ail kiddies! For the first time in many years, Bowman- ville will have a Santa Claus Parade this year, complete with floats, candies, clowns, bunnies, and other fairyland crea- tures. The great event will take place on Satur- day morning, Dec. 9th. The Kiwanis Cl1u b o f Bowmanville deserve a special vote of thanks for this great occasion because it was their idea to put on a parade for the Bowmanville and District youngsters. They approached the Chamber of Commerce who held a meeting last Thurs- day morning at the Bowman- ville Hotel where the matter received attention. Unfortun- ately, less than a dozen merch. ants attended, Sa a further meeting was called for Tues- day morning, when about 40 were present. With the larger group was Carson Elliott of Northcutt & Smith, Funeral Directors, wha had been in charge of suclia (TURN To PAGE SEVEN) Collect $630 For UNICEF's Great Work Final returns from the re- cent UNICEF Tag Day held by the Bowmanville Busi- ness and Professional Wo- men's Club amounted to $630, the highest ever re- ceived by the club in this annual project, The total in- cluded returns of $52.80 f rom Newvcastle where Mrs. Paul- ine Storks was in charge. Mrs. Marion Jeffery, chair- man of the club's Interna- tional Committee, was the general convenor for the UNICEF Tag Day. This inorning she spokie of her gratitude to the people who had contributed so gener- ously. She also voiced apprecia- tion of the assistance given by the Bowmanville High School students who had as- sisted with the tagging for UNICEF. Among them was Miss Sharon Lucas, whose name was inadvertently om- ltted from the prevlously published list.
