Mrs. M. E. Abrams brought in a beau- tiful gladiolus spike and a bouquet of yellow chry- santhemums. At about the same time, Archie lias- kmn phoned from the Dog Contrai centre ta say that a King Biily butterfly was sailing around outside the dog pound. I. T t LANDMARK - Visitors ta Part Hope wili be sor- ry ta hear the news that the St. Lawrence Hotel received extensive damage in an early Monday morning fire. Many famous visitors have stayed at this hostel over a long period of time. It is be- liived the hotel will be restored. More bad news came out of the eastern section af the counties this week due ta the death of former Caunty Court Judge J. C. M. German, Q.C. A strong Lib- eral, he was always a prominent figure at legal and political meetings and his passing will leave a definite gap in those circles and others. t t T NEW BULBS - Graduaily, the burned out Christ- mas lîghting bulbs are being replaced with new ones so everything will be in readiness for Sat- urday's parade. Aiso, mast stores will have com- pleted their Christmas windows in time for the show. We hope the Public Works Department wiii be able ta spare a man or two ta dlean up ail the debris that has coilected along the main shopping section since man power was replaced by a sweeping machine that doesn't go beyond the curbs. Merchants with brooms could belp here too ta make the street dlean and attractive. t t t t. t STILL AVAILABLE - The Christmas tree biitz by service club men brought in close ta $1,000 in cash on Tuesday, but ail streets were not cov- ered. Those who want tickets can obtain them from Rickaby's, Postmaster George Vice, Cole's Barber Shop, Lander Hardware, iviIcQueen Matai Sales and Stephen Fuels. t* 1 ONLY A WEEK BEFORE - Norman Ailison, the Canadian Director of the United Rubber War- kers, and a long time resident here, received a real joît with the news of President Kennedy's as- sassination. He returned home fromn New York city on Friday afternoon, the day of the shooting after attending the AF of L and CIO convention as a delegate. President Kennedy had addressed that convention on Friday, Nov. l5th, just a week before his death. We had hoped ta publish details of the late president's address but there just wasn't space this week. TIMELY - We are indebted ta Edgar Cator, R.R. 5, for ietting us borrow a book in which his late mother, Mrs. Fuller Cator, kept bits and pieces At the Ontario gavernment's Manufacturing Opportunities Show, Generai for many years. 0f particular interest at this time MotorS displays parts not produced in Canada.

San ta Ail Ready for Big Parade When the annual Santa Claus Parade gets underway here on Saturday af- ternoon at 1 o'clock, the youngsters will be anxiously waiting for this bewhis- kered gentleman and his reindeer. But, they won't see him until the end of the tremendous show that has been lined up. However, before he arrives, there will be sa much to take their attention that they won't mmnd waiting. This year's show, . . if the weather doesn't double cross those who have worked so long and hard . .. should top anything that has been seen here. There will be bands galore and some of the most unusual floats ever presented here. Sa, corne eariy, and stay late . . . and have a wonderful time at Bowmanville's Santa Claus Parade. It should be a dandy that you'll neyer forget, young or old.
