Hie asks any interested boys of Scout age to be at the Lions Centre tomorrow, Thursday, night at 7 p.m., also as many leaders as possible. SENDS THANKS- Bowmanville's own star in the Ice Follies, Yvonne Anonichuk, is really en- joying life with that organization, according to her father, Alex Anonîchuk. Incidentally, he saw the performance five times during their stay in Toronto and wishes he could have been in Mont- real for their opening there on Tuesday. He also passed on the word that Yvonne was delighted bo see s0 many people from her home town and the district at the Folie s. 1 1 1 1 i- t TIME IS SHORT - Do you realize that only about one-third of Ontario's vehicle owners had acquired their new licence plates by January 3lst. Those who have not yet obtained their plates are advised that February 28th is the deadline ... and there will be no extension. WINNERS- Pat Yeo and Garnet Sager, holding ticket numbers 152 and 5, respectivciy, came into a bit of money, $50 each to be exact, during the past two weeks. They were winners in the Kmn Investment draws. I t ~tt GRADUATES Tonight, the second class of Home Nurses will receive their graduation certi- ficates during a speciai ceren'xony at the Lions Centre. The course is sponsored by Bowmanville and District Red Cross branch. There are about 16 graduates. A large class of graduates from the Baby Sitters course at Blackstock did NOT receive their certificates on Friday. The event was called off due to the inclement weather and has been re-scheduled for W ednesday, Feb. l7th. FLOODS - Many cellars in the area were f looded during the mild speil recently when, due to the ice underneath the snow, the water had no place to go, except into hasements. From the council report in Newcastle, they too must have had trouble and Port Hope was worried for fear they might lose the bridge over the Ganaraska river. Fortunately, a spot of cold weather slowed down the melting process, but this morning more rain is falling to bring another threat of flooding. It is also extremely siippery on roads and sidewalks s0 there probably will be more falis, broken legs, etc. Cheerful thought. .1. ..t t QUITE A CHOICE - Cîtizens have quite a choice in special events right now.

Just yesterday, after considerable effort, they were able to release logs on the dam that had been frozen in place for somne time. One can imagine what would have happencd to the dam and the approaches if this tremendous force of water had not been able to find its way through the gates. It wouid have taken everything in its path. Fortunately, this time it didn't happen, but the miii staff was sti1l out on the dam tbjs mornng watching anxiously. ¶ p.
