Masons Honor Only Living PDDGM in Ont. District VOLUMVE 120 OWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER Il. 1974 Fair eceipts er Per Copy NUMBER37 ouble The Durham Central Agricultural Fair held in Orono over the weekend topped last year in gate receipts and number of exhibits. Wilfred Hawke who has been looking after the gate at the Orono Fair for the last 13 years, reported that last weekend's gate receipts totaled $8,637 as opposed to $4,778 the year before. Mr. Hawke attributed the increase to a much larger attendance and the increase in the admission fee. The country atmosphere of this traditional agricultural fair, was more prominent this year, as large crowds watched hundreds of cattle, horses, rabbits, and poultry being judged. Community involve- ment was prevelent in the many interesting exhibits f com the various groups in the airea. On display were local Choir Director Retires from St. PauI's paintings, needlework, handi- craft, flowers, home baking, and vegetables from the garden. Walking through the grounds one was confronted with the joy of entering as many free draws as possible, and this sport proved itself to be enough to give anyone (Turn to Page Two) Town Planning Consultant Dies of Heart Attack Rt.

Three development corpora- tions and a construction com- pany (Milani and Milani, Rye Investments, Barg Invest- ments and the Sheilds-Snow Construction Group), would work together on the Bowman- ville West project. The com munity, if completed to the extent proposed, would cover 700 acres and be built in three neighborhood stages. It woold extend north to the middle of the second concession, south to Hwy. 401 and slightly beyond, west to midway between lot 18 and 19, and east to the middle of lot 13. A major selling feature of the plan is that a new pollution control centre, serving over 4,000 acres and 30,000 people, would be built on St. Mary's Cement Co. land on the southerly extension of Martin Road.

Jamaican Kiwanis President Visits Area The Caribbean and Eastern Canada district of the Kiwanis Organization held the final day of their annual convention, today, at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The convention began Sunday, Sept. 8. Next year the convention will be held in Niagara Falls and the year after in Kingston, Jamaica. This week during the convention, Bruce Colwell, president of the Kiwanis Club in Bowmanville showed Eric Sanderman (left) president of the Mandeville Kiwanis in Jamaica, around Bowmanville. Mr. Sanderman ownes a car dealership in Mandeville. Three Fires Burn Bush The Newcastle Fire Depart- ment report two bush fires last Thursday, and a car fire on Sunday evening. An acre of bush under a wooded area on the ninth concession, owned by the Department of Natural Resources caught fire Thurs- day morning and another small plot of bush caught fire that afternoon on the Bound- ary line between Darlington and Cartwright Townships just north of Burketon. Both fires were quickly extinguish- ed. On Sunday evening the car of Gary Arnott of Oshawa cauht fire after it backfired. This took place off the ninth concession near Mosport. The fire was quckly put out with iittle damage resulting. John Layng Newcastle's planning con- sultant John Layng, 62, of 1, Orono, died of a heart attack in the Oshawa General Hospi- tal late Sunday night. Mr. Layng, a semi-retired Toronto architect, prepared reports for the town on different MISSING A couple of weeks ago, somebody lifted the barber pole and its stand from the front of Cole's Barber Shop. Anyone who knows where it might be should get it touch with Proprietor Gary Cole and no questions will be asked. While on the subject of removing things, Ted Buttery, R. R. 1, won two firsts, a second and a third with his squashes and pumpkins at Orono Fair but when he went to pick them up, they had disappeared. Can anyone provide information on this one? Somebody must be eating a lot of pumpkin pie these days. GREAT FAIR - One would think after all these years that people would get a bit tired of seeing the same things at country fairs each year, but it doesn't hold true. At Orono Fair last weekend, every event from Thursday night to Saturday drew record crowds of enthusiastic spectators. Even the main building was packed to overflowing by people who expressed genuine interest in what was being shown. Maybe the city folk who are gradually moving out to the rural areas are finding country fairs much more interesting than anyone contemplated. So, it's on to bigger and better shows next year. Port Hope's Fair is on this weekend. PAPER DRIVE - Boy Scouts will hold a Paper Drive in Bowmanville this Saturday, starting at 9. Please have the bundles on the boulevards by that time. They'll have to collect much more this year to make much money. The scrap paper price has dropped considerably from last year at this time, although the cost of new paper has risen drastically and is still going up. MASONS GOLF - At Newcastle Golf Club this Saturday, members of Masonic lodges from all over the district will be competing in their annual tournament. Mayor Garnet Rickard will be the first to tee off at 8:30. They should make him wear his masonic regalia around his neck and use a piece of that $72.50 cake he bought at Orono Fair on Friday night instead of a ball. That would slow him up a bit. Main prize is a plaque donated by Alex Hendry of Newcastle. That should be quite a day! ROYALS WIN - On Sunday afternoon, the Kendal Junior Royals defeated Langton 12-6 with the third game in Langton on Saturday. These boys could be heading for another Ontario crown if they keep going the way they have been. HALFWAY HOUSE - Bowmanville's Mem- orial Park diamond will act as a halfway house on Saturday and Sunday when the Prescott Tykes who defeated Bowmanville earlier, meet Tykes from Wheatley in the Ontario finals. First game will be at 2 on Saturday with the second at 1 on Sunday and 4 if necessary. The teams decided the trip to each other's hometown would be just too much for these youngsters. UNTIMELY DEATH - The death on Sunday of John Layng, 62, of Clarke Township who has been helpng the Towîî of Newcastle with its difficult planning chores, was a great shock to all concerned. He is survived by his wife Jeanette and daughter Dyana. The funeral service were held this afternoon. planning matters on a per diem basis, taking some of the work off the shoulders of town planning director George Howden. Among the reports he pre- pared since he was engaged by the town last February were ones dealing with the proposed generating stations in Wesleyville and Bowman- ville and the proposed Ontario Hydro transmission lines, the water supply for the village of Newcastle and local residents' complaints about the Mosport race track. Mr. Howden described him as a "man with his own opinions" and pointed out that although Mr. Layng did not have a university degree in planning he had prepared the official plans for a number of municipalities., Mr. Layng had lived in the former township of Clarke (Turn to Page Two) Scugog Wants ObRsaSw Scugog town council voted to inform Durham Region council that it would take control of tbePince Albert Rd. and the l4th Concession Rd. to Seagrave in exchange for the region taking over the former Reach township 12th Concession Rd. This motion was passed ast Wednesday as an alternative to the re gion proposal that Prince Albert Rd. be turned over to the Scugog Municipality and com- pensation be paid. The recommendation for a road swap came from the Scugog Road Superintendent Ron MacDonald who informed council that the swap would involve 'roads of about the same size, and that the 12th is an important artery that should be taken over by the region. 9ss Mccal re athionW iniibs nechair Retiring organist and choir his fine service, said that the stirrings of the heart' to the director, Ross Metcalf, was music director brought "the organ keyboard.
