Youth Finds GirI's Foot Near Orono Ontario Provincial Police are attemptinig to identify a decomposediright foot found in a blue stocking in a field north of Orono, by Philip Sciuk, 14, of 735 Olen Manor, Oshawa. The foot was sent to Toronto where Dr. Hilsdon-Smith, Chief Pathologist at the city morgue indicated it belonged to a girl at least 16 years old. The stocking was found about 120 feet from 115 and 35 highway near Peterborough- Lindsay junction, an OPP spokesman said. The boy was riding a motor bike on property owned by his parents when he, discovered the stôcking, the OPP added. Today, the OPP are working with two police dogs in the area of the find. OPP Constable John Legate of the Newcastle Detachment, Detective Sergeant Mac- Dougal from Peterborough as well as members from the Criminal Investigation Branch in Toronto are work- ing on the case. A police spokesman stated they had practically eliminat- ed the possibility of a fatal accident and stated the pro- bability of a shallow grave where an animal could have easily dug up the body and carried it for miles. The find was made in an area not too far e the body of an East Indian Woman was found a year ago. I ~ PIECES LOSE AN HOUR - The town fathers, in their efforts to keep the budget to a minimum, decided not to advertise the fact that Daylight Saving Time comes into effect this weekend. So, we'il throw this one in, for free. Remember to turn the hands on all timepieces ahead one hour on Saturday night. Spring forward, Fall back is one way of remembering. FIVE IN RUNNING - Nomination Day was Monday for the council seat election in Ward the old Darlington Township area. And two new candidates qualified to bring the total in the race to five. They are, Russell H. Dow, Ann Cowman, Raymond LeBlanc, Alec Matthews and James W. Robinson. Election bay is May 12th that only leaves a couple of weeks for cam- paigning. Probably the big issue will be the Courtice Concept. NEW GOLF PRO - It was quite windy and wet for opening day at several area golf courses on Saturday, but they'll be in full swing by now. At Bowmanville Country Club, the falrways are drying up nicely and should be ready to go quite soon. A new golf pro is already on the job, complete with a good stock of equipment. He is Jay Lilge from the Bayview Club and he will again be assisted by Ian Morrison from Uxbridge. WHAT GIVES? - Alex Carruthers who was honored at what could be called a 'retirement dinner' on Friday night at Port Hope appears to be keeping his options open just in case Premier Davis pulls the plug on an election before the new election boundaries come into effect. A brochure outlinirng what has been done for Durham by the Ontario government and Mr. Carruthers was given widespread distri- bution on the weekend. Maybe we shouldn't count him out of the running just yet.

In a letter, the hospital explained the position of being three or four doctors short in Newcastle. This is based on the number of people to be looked after by one physîcian. Newcastle's rate is h igher thanothër areas. The under-doctored area status allows a young phy- scian, who has received pro- vincial grants to attain bis education, to come to this area. Other under-doctored areas exist mainly in North- ern- Untario. The hospital indicated in the letter that on obtaining tiis status, it would be able to entice a man and wife team of doctors to move int th'e area. The motion to make the reso-ldtani en behaf # hospital was moved by Coun- cillor Ivan Hobbs and second- ed by Councillor Don Allin.
