May Provide Sewers for Portable Pots Trailer-campers know and dread the embarrassing diffi- culties caused by an ovenfuli portable potty. The kind councillons of Durham Regien plan te take ste ps te reduce anxiety by providing dumping sewer facilities for campers in diffîcuit straits. The proposai is that ail new wa ter trea tmenf Dant~s will be equipped with dimping sta- tions. Further plans involve addiný dump spots te existing facilities and putting up signs ta inform trailer-campers of the availability and loca tien of this service. Some councillors argue that this is tee costly an undertak- ing, but the wastes -will be dumped somewbere and, it is angued, the shoulder of the highways is bardly a desirable alternative. IBITS PIECESH WILD WEEKEND - Well, Thanksgiving weekend that started off so well, cerainly concluded with a wallop. Anyone who was caught in that bumper to bumper traffic has our sympathy, especially when the skies let loose with everything they had and made driving even more nerve-racking and hazardous. It was a grim reminder of Hurricane Hazel on Oct. l5th, 1954, that hit this.area. We recal that event rather vividly because we had poured the cernent floor for our garage, just before the rains carne. There was no roof so the next day was spent chopping it out with axes and repouring. QUEBECKERS - There must have been a massive exodus from Quebec for the weekend. On Monday afternoon, travelling east on 401, every other car had a licence plate frorn La Belle Provence. TrWO CARDS - The Editor acknowledges receipt of two postcards recently frorn widely spread parts of the world. One was frorn Jack Hately of Bowrnanville who was in' Moscow wîth Tearn Canada and thoughtfully dropped a card to let us knowv he was enjoying, the 'ugh' food. The other was frorn Regional Coucillor Ken Lyall frorn Mexico, who wrote "B eing an expert in other forrns of the bullish arts, I arn now studying the real thing. " The card showed a bull fighter at work, GOOFED - We've been informed by an un- known source that the original section of BHS was built, in 1890 NOT 1892 as we reported last week. DIFFERENT - Carlos Tamblyn of Orono advises that Orono United Church will hold its Thank Offering service on Sunday, Oct. 27th, with Harris Wilcox, a noted auctioneer as guest speaker at the rnorning service. That could be quite exciting if he really gets wound up. SILVER ANNIVERSARY - Congratulations are in order for Glenn and Jack Lander who are celebrating their 25th anniversary in business here at Lander Hardware. Both these men have been real assets to the town since they came over from Oshawa. We wish.them many more years of successful business endeavor. VULTURES - Mrs. Tom Fairbrother, R.R. 2, Newcastle, has spotted three more turkey vultures. They are not the same as the rest of us who rnay have acted like vultures over roast turkey on the weekend. These are big birds with a 6' wing span, two-tone wings, small pointed heads and slirnrer tails. GRIM THOUGHT- New driving licences with grim twist are being contemplated. A form will be attached permitting you to contribute your organs for transplanting should you be killed on the highways. Can't yousee, a policeman or ambulance attendant at the scene of an acci- dent, taking out your licence and finding one of those forms filled out.

As a town witbin a town, Bowman- ville citizens, he said, are concerned that there wili be a loss of the town's identity.
