Official app- roval and aceae of tbe stattics is a ty to be adopted on .Tbursday, this .week. Football players from Bowmanville High School used all sorts of transportation in their pre-game parade down King Street prior to playing Courtice Secondary on Tuesday, October 2nd. In this picture there are football players riding on a motorcycle, a tractor and even a big, black hearse. The main street parade also featured the BHS band, young ladies on horseback, cheerleaders and hundreds of students. The parade certainly must have been successful in whipping up the right spirit because the senior Redmen went out and steamrolled over Courtice by a 46-0 score for their third regular season win in a row. In their three league games, the senior team has scored a total of 110 points while allowing their opposition only one single point. Newtonville Groomto-Be KiIIed in H*it-and-Run* Tragedy on H»ighway Two Il BTS ~ PIECES ~ FIRST WEEK OVER - It wasn't until about Friday of last week that the whole Statesman staff began to recover from their day and night panic operation. It's amazing what humans can do when an emergency arises. Here we were, cruising along quietly, preparing to print our own newspaper and one other, when suddenlyPort Hope's plant burned and we had plunged into producing a daily and five or six other weeklies. How it was done we'll never know, but the only thing that matters is that it was done, and has now become almost routine. It's amazing! BRILLIANT COLORS - It's that time of year, the leaves are falling, filling the eavestroughs but their brilliant colors make spectacular viewing. Several correspondents mention the beauty of the countryside at this time of year. They'll be at their best this weekend, although that rain Tuesday may have knocked quite a few leaves off the trees. The annual Kinsmen Club color tour 'for Senior Citizens is being held Oct. 14th, with the buses leaving at 2:00 p.m. from the parking lot across from the Town Hall. Phone 623-2612 on Oct. 10th if you'd like to join the tour. You'll be picked up at your house at 1:30. QUITE A PARADE - Our congratulations to good old BHS students who really put on a great show on Tuesday afternoon with their pre-football garme rally parade through town. It sure added some pep and enthusiasm to the uptown section and hopefully to the school spirit and the team's coffers. ELECTIONS OVER - The Regional and Municipal elections are in the past, and now those who were acclaimed or elected will have to get down to the nitty gritty to get things moving ready for the takeover Jan. lst. First big problem to be faced by both the region and municipal councils will be the location of the two headquarters. There probably will be plenty of hassling over those two items before final decisions are reached. THEY LISTENFD - The many objections tossed at Ontario Hydro during meetings to discuss the location of the Lennox-Oshawa transmission power line apparently has produced results. They have now done some exploring on a northern route and will be discussing it at three meetings, next Tuesday, Oct. 9th at M. J. Hobbs, Wednesday at Clarke High School and Thursday at Kendal Public School, starting at 8:00 p.m. See the accompanying article for more details. OUR THANKS - Many letters and phone calls have been received expressing amaze- ment and congratulations over the appearance and readability of our first offset printed Statesman last week. Many thanks to those who wrote or called. We hope we can do better in future when we can get a minute to do more than just get the work out of the office on time.
