IlBITS, PIECES ~ TWO SECTIONS- Make certain The Statesman you buy or receive through the mails has two sections this week. There are 22 pages in ail, including a special two-page section to promote the Santa Claus parade, with several local businesses lending their support. If you plan to attend the parade with your children, lend a hand to those who have done a tremendous amount of work on the project, by purchasing a Parade Booster button. They'll help defray some of the mounting expenses. THIRD YEAR CIMAMPS - Wesley Yellowlees and Son, Enniskillen, have done it again. They won the World Championship for Russell oats at the Royal Winter Fair this week ... and it's the third year in a row they've cleaned up against competition from entries from over 14 countries. They also won the reserve titie on Stormont oats and several prizes in barley. DIFFERENT - The young people of Maranatha Christian Reformed Church are planning a Rock-a-Thon this Saturday in their church at the east end of Bowmaniville, starting at 7:00 a.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m. It's nothing to do with rock music, rather rocking chairs. At the moment, no plans have been made for an adjournment to take în the Santa Claus parade, but we would suspect that may be arranged. They are obtaining sponsors who will be tapped at so much for an hour's rocking, the funds to be used for SWIM, Summer Workshop In Ministries. Think we'll get a sponsor and join them, it's been a- rough week! FIIUITCAKE - Did yvou see the item in the Financial Post about plum pudding and Christ- mas fruitcake? The Australian grape crop has been rained out, creating a worldwide shortage of raisins, almond prices have jumped from .90 to $1.73 a pound because of dollar devaluations and pineapple chunks have increased in price. Fruitcake is fattening anyway, so better stick to something with fewer calories. BIG RUSH - Last week, we announced that there would be a $1 increase in The' Statesman subscription price, beginning Dec. lst, 1973, and we're happy to report that many people still feel it's worthwhile to save a buck. Our front office has been busy as blazes ail week with people taking advantage of the saving. So act now and *join the crowd. Only two years' renewals or new subscriptions will be aceepted at the old rate. BUILDING - We had occasion to tour some of Bowmanville industrial area on Tuesday to photograph the sod turning of yet another in-~ dustry and were amazed at the number of new factories now under construction. It's worth taking a look if you haven't been down that way lately. Mrs. J. C. Gamey, 92 years old, and wife of the late Commanding Officer of the Midland Regiment recruited in this area during the Second World War, was-present at the cenotaph on Saturday and laid the wreath fromn the Regiment. The young cadet at lef t on this page is not old enough to remember any of the wars in which Canadians fought and died, but she has vivid recollections of ail of'themn, especially the two in which her husband Col. Gamey was învolved. Legionnaire Rae Abernethy assisted her as she approached the cenotaph.
