(TURN TOPAETO BITS wPIECES WARDEN - The annual election for Warden of the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham wiIl be held in Cobourg on January 2lst, 1969. Two candikýtes are already in the field, Reeve Roy A. Foster ù! Clarke Township and Reeve Donald M. Lang of Ck van Township.

Instead of paying four times a year, with a discount for paying the' most of the taxes early in the year, taxpayerà will now pay every two months, or six times a year. Read the advertisement or cail the Town Hall for more details. t t t t CAMPAIGN - The Canadian Bible Society execu- tive reports that almost $1,000 was collected during their recent canvass for funds.

Next week, regular publi- cation will resume. Incidentally, the office and plant will bie closed New Year's Day, and the day following. The frontoffice will bie open Friday, Jan. 3rd from 9 a.m. until noon only. These somewhat irregular hours will provide bolidays for the staff who have been working extra to publish the Christmas and New Year's editions. BLOCKED - Drivers of town snowplows would do well to learn where the Bowmanville Area Ambu- lance headquarters is located on Queen St. They had been working during the night of the big storm on Friday and early Saturday morning when the ambulance received an emergency eall, the drive- way was completely blocked. Ambulance owner Don Harvey expresses thanks to Constable John Bird who took bis caîl for help and somehow managed to locate a front loader in a hurry. The ambulance was soon on its wayanswering the emergency.___ ,Min isterial Assn.
