One councillor, waving a 'skin' magazine, asked why they weren't doing something about such trash, instead of worrying about youngsters playing hockey on Sundays.' The confrontation took place during a presentation by Revs. Wesley Oake and Guy Corvers, representing Bowmanville Ministerial Assn. They were asking that the Sunday sports bylaw be implemented in local arenas, and interpreted its contents as restricting the use of arenas on Sunday mornings.- Lyall Brings Girlie, Book to ý'Council Lori Brooks and Shelda Jackson (front row) were presented with their AIl RoundCords, Tuesday night, February 25 at a Mother and Daàugh)ter Bainquet.

Stunned by the unexpected attack, Mr. Oake told council he had neyer been subjected to such abuse and didn't realize that sucb men sat on council. His comments.were obviously aimed at Councillor Lyall, and Councillor Kirk Entwisle Who suggested at one point that he, (iUrti)- LUapTo) Won by Oshawa Man of Bir. sphit winnier of the jack-pot Velfare prize was called on by the w Ladies chairmanii, Stan.

One of those pesky colds kept us too busy blowing and wiping to cuncen- trate on anything else.

Their new husbands also should be grateful. CLEANS UP-From'ahl reports Rupp snowmo- biles sponsored by Gary's Sports of Bowmanville, cleaned up in the races at Port Perry on Sunday.
