Bring Out the Girls Mospocrt's sports car track lived Up to its reputation for attracting beautiful girls on Saturdav during the f irst Kinsmen sponsored international snowmobiie races. These two young ladies are Beveriy Jones and Judy Thomas of Toronto, ,ýwho appear quite interested in the way the machines perform. Although the 'ather was net at its best for the event, a fair crowd showed up and entries the races almost overwhelrned the sponsors. Chairman of the event George Mutton and other Kinsmen were pleased with the resuits and are already plan- ning a bigger and better event for Ilext winter, probahlY ai an carlier date te make certain of good track conditions. McRobbie Photography would accept nothing for theéir'trou;ble. Who says there is no chiv alry or kindness left in the world ? BUILDING - Quite a bit of building is under- way in this district at the moment. The St. Mary's Cernent Company continues to make progress at their new plant south'of 401, with changes visible almost every time one drives past. Beaver Lumber is also building a new plant and office at the east end of Bownianville and we understand a Sheli service centre is under construction at the corner of Base Line and Waverly Road. While all this is going on, the highway department surveyors and con- struction people are concentrating their efforts on the new road heading east out of town. OPTIMISM - There appears to be a ray of hope and optimnism in the air if reports emanating froma the General Motors dispute with the U.A.W. are accurate. Now over a month oid, the strike is as- suming tragîc proportions for many employees who have to meet mortgage payments and other corn- mitments and are finding the going quite rough, to say the least. Even if there is an early settiemerît, it wiil now take quite a whiie for them to recoup their wage losses. No word from Goodyear yet. WEATHER - Evidently the weatberman woke up with a real grouch Tuesday morning and decided he should let us ail know that the bit of almost Spring weather we've had wasn't going to continue. So, he dumped a foot of snow on us during the day and it kept falling du ring the evening hours. You just can't tell about March any more. t -i. t BUDGET - That Robarts government certainly played rough on Tuesday, especially for us smokers and car drivers, when they added four cents tax on a package of cigarettes, two on a gallon of gasoline, upped the cost of OMSIP and so on. Suppose things wiii ever level out again so a person can plan a littie ahead without being in a constant battie trying to catch up ? It's getting crazier and crazier every year. t t t 1 ' t HOL1DAYS - Next week, altbougb it's about three weeks to Easter, scbools throughout the area will be closed for what useci to be known as the Easter vacation. This is a new systemn that each year set holidays at the same time. Frankly, it would appear to be a bit early, especially for mothers who will be kept busy hauling youngsters out of the mud and washing their clothes. But who are we to argue with the powers that be ? We would suppose that a couple of extra holidays will be snuck in later for Good Friday and Easter Monday. tt f t 1t t ACTION - As we sit here Tuesday night, prepar- ing to meet tomorrow's deadline, there is something going on across the street at Dykstra's Food Mar- ket. Counters are covered wîth tarpaulins and chappies are waving brushes around. Don't be sur- prised if the place has received a face-lifting coat of paint next ti me you shop t here. *. t t T t DIES - Some of us comparative old timers around the towW' wilI remember Stewart Hl- lingshead, one of the family who had a great deal witb setting up and operating the R. M. Hollingshead plant here quite a few years ago. Recently, he has been Chairman of the Board of Hollingshead USA. Word was received at the local plant that he died last -weekend at the age of 64. sof the Officiai Opening of the new OPP Detachment Saturday was the handing over of the keys by builder 4 t, to the Comrnanding Officer of District 8, Superin- ay. The NDP Northumberland- Durham Association's Found- ing Convention held in Cob- ourg on Sunday elected J. Gabovic, last NDP provincial candidate in Northumberland, president of the new organi- zation. Others elected to the execu- tive were James McGimpsey, Cobourg, vice president, and Thomas Seaborne, secretary. The executives of both the NDP county associations were also elected to the executive and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Andrews, Cobourg, were also added to the executive com- mittee. Gordoni Graylîsh, Oshawa, the NDP area organizer, pre- sided. The guest speaker was Terry Grier, executive secre-1 tary to Donald MacDonald, th~e NDP Provincial Party Leader in Ontario. Mr. Grier urged the New Democrats to strengthen their organization in the United Counties. He predlcted that a federal election wiil be held at the latest in the atitumn. "The chances for the NDP are conslderably better now than they were In the last election. People are becomîngi persuaded that neither the Liberals nor the Progressive Conservatives are talking about their problems. "The New Democratic Party even if it means breaking new ground or being a little radi- cal," Mr. Grier stated. Detachment Sgt. John E. Closs was in charge of the brief but impressive opening ceremony at the opening of the new OPP building on Saturday. Speaks at Newcastle Meeting Young P.(.C. President.
