.Arts Festival Fiblôat guzai For the second consecutive year, the Great Pine Ridge Festival of the Arts float f rom Newcastle was judged the best in the annual Dominion Day parade in Oshawa on Tuesday. Not only did the unusual float take top honors but two members of the festival who acted as outriders won first and second prizes in the horsemanship category. The float depicted three of the seven deadly sins f rom the play "Dr. Faustus", portrayed by Cindy Wis- ener, Andrea Ewert and Karen Lee. Incidentally, this play will premiere at the festival on July 3lst. The large crowds lining the streets were most generous in applauding the Newcastle float, especial- ly when it emitted great clouds of wfspy f oq. The tractor and f arm wagon f orming the base were loaned by the Pine Ridge School, Bowmanville. t. b ~i~bin tudtmr VOLUME 115 16 Pages BOWMANVILLE' ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1969 150 Per Copy NUMBER 27 Lions Governor CIalims We Face Creeping SA7 District Governor Art Chambers in his address at the dinner meeting of the Bow- manville Lions Club Iast week reminded the members that as Lions they preach the Golden Rule, and he asked themn to accept the challenge as Cana- dians and Lions to cure "this creeping sickness in our coun- try today." - Traff ic Heavy Five Collisions But No Injuriesil After the flood of fatal accidents ln this area during the past four montbs. it was quite a change to have the Ontario Provincial Police at Newcastle report that whiie traffic on the holiday week- end was extremely beavy, no one was kiiled or injured lni a vehicle collision. There were five collisions lnvolving motorists tbrough- ont the area, with property damage only.

BITS >eDPIECES SANTA -- Before the cool weather leaves, it might be appropriate ta advise citizens that the annual Santa Claus Parade will be held this year on Nov. 22nd, starting at 10:30 a.m. The theme will be "Cartoon Capers"' and anyone planning ta enter a float should contact Mrs. Helen Rudeil at 987-4261. Nothing, like getting started early, said the parade committee man' Bob Lawton just before starting his holidays. Serves himn right if this cold weather stay's with LIs until he returns. FIRE - Last Wednesday eveîuing what could have been a serlous fire broke out at John Brownlee's1 rented premises, King St. East, because somebody (not Mr. Brownlee) had used a 30 amp fuse where there sbould only have been a 15 amnp. Fortunately, firemen were on tbe job and littie damage, other than ,by smoke, resulted. The moral is, check those fuses inow, it's easier than bothering the insurance com- panies later, or funeral directors. DEPARTS-- Town Constable Richard Kouhi, his wife the former Beyt, Wright and their recently born child, left this week for Part Arthur when he will be on the police force and fia doubt, in his spare time will be out hunting for another deer to have mounted over the fireplace. It is understood that a replacement has been hired here who has trouble getting f hrough doorways because af his 6'5"~ frame. His name or present residence bas flot beeii announced.

But, after ý nv fruitless and frequent calis, this edition came 2% bc t the sua I time, with some of the regular Wisers among the missing.
