However, there is hope. Jack Osmond, 69 Liberty St. N. reports he saw a robin on Monday. Hope the poor thing has some galoshes to keep its feet dry. HEART - Te date, over $1800 has been col- lected during the annual Heart Fund campaign in this area. Those in charge are most apprecia- tive of the response and the help given by can- vassers to this worthwhile cause. KNOCKING - This week we have'a report of an unusual incident at Enfield. A fox came scratching at the front door of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Oke. When no one answered, he went around to the back and tried to get somebody's attention. Then, he headed for the barn and 16- year-old Jim Oke shot him. The game warden took the carcass away for checking just in case the animal was suffering f rom rabies. We've heard of trying to keep the wolf f rom the door, but not the fox. TRADITION- When 13-year-old Nancy WaI- ker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mac Walker, R.R. 1, Campbellcroft, won the Durham County public speaking contest last week, she was carry- ing on a fainily and a school tradition. Her bro- ther Jamès won the same contest in 1964 and 1967 Nancy Fowler won the honors. Ail three are from North Central Public School in Hope where tbey obviously produce top notch public speakers. t IL 1. 1~ t TRUDEAU - This Saturday the new Northumber- land-Durham Liberal Association will hold its founding convention in Port Hope when about 500 from the district are expected to attend. Guest speaker at the $5.00 dinner in the evening at Port Hope High School will be the Hon. Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Minister of Justice, and a candidate for the Liberal leadership. Tickets are stili available for the convention and dinner, but it appears un- likely that there will be space available for the general public to corne and hear Mr. Trudeau following the d inner.
