IlBITS %PIECES B FOR UNIFORMS- Clarke Highi School's band, in an effort to raise money for uniforms, is planning its first annual Spring concert next Wednesday. The band was -only formed last Sept. but already made a name for itself at Oshawa Kifest last month, winning in 'al classes entered. See Coming Events for more details. NO HOCKEY GAME - Rod Baragar, his wife and children, were understandably upset when ail those CNR freight cars rolled over, almost on topof their house late Saturday afternoon. But,, the shock had been replaced by annoyance Sunday noon when he realized the power was off and he wouldn't be able to watch the Flyers-Bruins game on television. Hope he was able to make some arrangements, that was quite a final game. PAIN - Our thanks to Bob Guthrie who phoned the Editor to notify him of the train wreck. The cali was sincerely appreciated. At the wreck, said Editor was quite disturbed by the extent of the damage, but really went'into a blue funk when he saw ail those damaged rolîs of news- print- scattered ail over the place. He could relate to them quite easily, realizing just how much they were worth. Unfortunately, they were the wrongrsize for use on the Statesman press. ELECTION POSTER -,Bob Hancock, a keen collector of' antiques, dropped into the office yesterday with an interesting poster he obtained from the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Carson in, Orono. It was one of the tho usands used in 1925 when Vincent Massey ran here for the Liberals. They didn't work too well for Mr. Massey who was defeated by Fred Bowen. Some say there were so many Massey posters around that the -electors got fed up with such a show and voted against him. ANNIVERSARY - A former Durham County boy, the Rev.. and Mrs. Milton Sanderson re- cently celebrated their 50th anniversary at Kings'way Lambton' United Church and The Toronto Star's Bob Pennington produced an excellent article in the May l7,th edition, cover- ing the Sanderson's background' and, the philosophy that they live by. We hope to repro- duce it next week in full. The- have been an exceptionally popular and dedicated couple. STRIKE UP THE BAND - This Saturday after- noon, the Legion pipe band wiil lead members of the Midland Regiment to the cenotaph as part of the reunion ceremonies. So, don't be surprised if you see a couple of hundred aging veterans marching along King St., trying to keep in step and holding in their sagging tummies as they recaTf how well they used to look on parade.
