Santa Claus parade organizers and he participants who staged a tremendous show on Saturday. We don't ever remember a larger crowd lining the streets, especially very young children. T he ideai weather must have played a part. Now, it's on to bigger and better things next year. Four of this area's top, political figures were present for the Santa Claus parade on Saturday morning and rode in open convertibles, waving to their constituen's. They are, top phto Alex Carruthers, M.P.P., and Ailan Lawrence, M .P., with Durham egional Chairman Walter Beath and Town of Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard in the bottom picture. FALLING DOWN - A report received on Tues- day tells us that the Red Cross Blood Donor Clinies held here recently have flot met their quotas, despite the support of many local- donors. To see if more community groups will become, involved in this serious situation, a meeting is planned for next Wedniesday, Dec. 4th, at 8 p.m. in Trinity United Church to dis- cuss the problem and attempt to find some answers. Hon Warren, Director of the Blood Donor service for Ontario and local branch members of the-Red Cross, «'jîl be present to place facts and figures before those attending. Make a note now to be on hand to give this essential service a boost. WINNERS ALL - This area must have just about taken over the Royal Winter Fair last week in Toronto from ail reports of top winners of championships we've received. Sheep, oats, cattie, you name it and we've got winners right in this section of the country. LOTS 0F BULL - Nothin g quite comes up to the sign in the Hope Township Clerk's office that reads: "Cows may come and cows may go but the BULL in this place goes on forever." 0f course that wouldn't, apply to council meet- ings in this community. RERUN - If you missed the Santa Claus Parade on Saturday or wouid like to see it again, it will be shown on Cablecast 6 tonight at 8 p. m. By then, we hope those' in town, or most of them, will have received this week's edition and wiil have spotted this announcement. By the way, remember that chappie with the do g in the parade. He's been in every parade we 've had here for 13 years and has gone through two dogs. Hispicture is among those on the front of the second section. More photos will be pubiished in foliowing weeks. LUCKY LOTTERY - If the names received here are authentic, there are at ieast four people around here who -should have enqugh money to take care of their Christmas shopping because they were winners in the Olympie lottery. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Winacotp, 110 Rosehill Blvd., won $1,000. (Whoever -wrote that note doesn't seem quite certain of the cor- rect spelling of, that name and we can't find1 it or Rosehill Blvd. in the phone book.) Mr. ýýand Mrs. Robert Butler, 32 Ontario St., and Mrs. Merril McGee, Main St., Orono, also won $1,000 and Alan Lucyk, R.R. 2, Orono, won only $100, but that's hetter than nnthing; at least he made a good, profit and you can't go broke doing that. manville Lodge to be elected to the County Lodge. The county Lodge was instituted in 19158 and inicludes 26 lodges.

NEW CAR LICENCES Another yuar bas rolled a- round and it will se'on hie time te renew those licence stickurs for cars. Happily, there will be ne increase in feus, $23 for 4-cylînders, $32 for 6 cylin- ders, $40 fer an 8 cylînder vehicle and $5 for trailers. The stickers will be avail- able at licence issuing offices, starting Dec. 2nd and the duadline in February 28, 1975 for cars and March 31 fer plates.
