ttractive Clowns Lure Car Wash Customers World's The scramble for the World Driving Championship continues as the Formula One cars and drivers head the Labatt's 50 Grand Prix of Canada, this weekend at Mosport Park. Thousands of racing enthusiasts will soon be filing through the gates of the park, to set up tents and enjoy all the things racing enthusiasts do. Switzerland's Clay Regazzoni with 46 points, holds a slhm one point lead over South Africa's Jody Scheckter, while Emerson Fittipaldi of Brazil is third with 43 points., In reviewing this season's perfor- mances, it appears tmat consîstency has become the key factor in the battle for the title and on this basis Regazzoni and Schecter should be rated as the favorites at Mosport. Top Drivers Gran d Prix For Regazzoni and the Ferrari team this year in particular must be satisying. This marks the first time in 10 years thâat Ferrari has an opportunity to win the world title, and both factory Ferraris are in the top four. Teammate Niki Lauda is fourth with 36 points. The 35-year-old Regazzoni has picked up points in 10 of the 13 races run so far, certainly one of his most successful seasons since he started racing a Formula 3 back in 1964. In 1968 Regazzoni moved into a Formula two car and after some impressive test sessions he was asked to drive a Formula One Ferrari in 1969, finishing fourth in the Dutch Grand Prix. Regazzoni's first Grand Prix victory came in 1970, winning the Italian GP in a Ferrari. Lauda's rise to stardom has been noticed but now he ranks as one of the best in the world. The 34-year-old Austrian still has a chance to win the GP title, but he has failed to pick up a point in his last four races. Lauda is only in his sixth year of driving. He started racing in 1968 in a Cooper S which he had not even paid for, while other races and cars. purchased on borrowed money led to many successes for the Vienna born star.

The idea is that one member is invited to show how bis vocationeallowss im scope to fulfill the principles of Rotary. The speaker at the meeting Thursday, Sept. 12 at the Flying Dutchman was Earl Wolff, principal of Bowman- ville High School. After a brief introduction by AI Witber- spoon, principal of Clarke Hig School, Mr. Wolff began by a run down of a typical day in a principal's life. Using the names of his Rotarian friends n, ls examples, Mr. Wolff showed how the routine re- questsof parents for special favors can build into a formidable load. Requests included everything from find- jing Johnny's lost timetable to delivering to Sally the lunch she left at home. In a more serious vein, Principal Wolff explained the aim of education as a prepara- tion for life.

MODEL CAR CONTEST - Hooper's Trophy Centre is again sponsoring an annual Model Car Contest, starting today and continuing un- til the middle of October. The contest is open to all children 15 and under in the Bowmanville area. Three trophies will be awarded to the winners. Contact Hooper's for more details. MOVED - Gary's Sports is now located in the building formerly occupied by J-Mar Equipment, King St. East, where a large stock of motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc. is already on display, and his opening is this weekend. OLD COPY - An 1891 copy of The Canadian Statesman was urearthed by Karl Edgar of Tyrone when he was doing some renovations. We won't even mention the prices of articles advertised in that issue, it would only make readers unhappy. CLAMPING DOWN - From all reports, UnemploymentInsurance investigators are clamp- ing down on those who are using the fund fraudulently. One Newcastle woman was charged on four counts last week in court and assessed fines of $200 plus costs. Anyone who thinks the fund can be tapped with6ut problems would do well to take note. STILL ALIVE - The heading over the photo of Rt. Wor. Bro. W. Frank Rickard being honored for his 50 years as a Past District Deputy Grand Master was in error. It stated he was the only living PDDGM in Ont. District and we've already heard frorn two others who are very much alive, and kicking. So far as we have been able to ascertain, Mr. Rickard is the only living PDDGM of 50 years in the district. There's quite a difference. While we are at it, apologies are also in order because the first paragraph of the story on an inside page was bungled a bit and didn't make sense. The grem- lins were at work. MISSING - We've just received a report that some of the subscribers in the Elizabethville area, including our correspondent, did not receive last week's Statesman. We're checking but so far have been unable to come up with the answer. Possibly the bundle was broken in transit, or something. Adopts Interim Area Plan The Town of Newcastle has an "interim" official plan which was prepared by Muni- cipal Planning Consultants of Toronto. It is an attempt to co-ordinate the previous exist- ing plans for the former Village of Newcastle, the former Town of Bowmanville and the former Townships of Darlington and Clarke. The Town Planning Advi- sory Committee considers this p lan a temporary document for use until the official district plan is ready. As the new interim plan deals in generalities, the committee's responsibility will be to make specific definitions. Land division policies are among the most interesting of the recommendations. Where full piped services are una- vailable, a report will be required to confirm that sufficient potable water is available and also that the land in question is able to accommodate adequate sew- age disposal, before the land can be divided. A formula establishing parkland as a ratio of the population is to be waived in favor of cash payments in rural areas where there are private and public open spa- ces. Low and medium density residential areas are defined as nine and 18 units per acre respectively In hamlets, commercial and (Turn to Page Two) vain, as the Northumberland and Newcastle School Board decided that the new boundar- ies would remain in force, at Thursday's meeting. One parent, Robert Stiles, told the board that his two children in grades five and six at Newcastle school, should MAN HURT IN FIRE Shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon, two fire pumpers and an ambulance were called to the scene of a fire on Solina Rd., north of Taunton Road. A car had burst into flames and apparently exploded. One man, still unidentified, was injured in the accident. No other details were available at press time. Wil Wait for Planners' Report on Courtice Industrial Subdivision Any decisionon a proposed industrial subdivision east of Courtice Road and lwy 401 in Courtice will be held off until planning advisory committee receives a report from plan- ning director George Howden. The subdivision proposed by Orbit Construction and Cars- well Construction of Toronto would be on 36 acres already zoned light industrial. Proposed industrial deve- lopment would include banks. gas stations, light manufac- turing and motel on the south side of the base line. The committee was told last week that Courtice Rd. inter- change would enable custo- mers to reach the proposed motel. No information on construe- tion costs, date of completion or cost of the development was given by the two construction compames.
