It is uncertain what happened. She was seen by a passerby, lying on the road north of central Public School on El- gin st., still astride her fal- len bicycle. Whether she fell or was hit by a car is still to be determined. iIer condi- tion is satisfactory this ,morning.

HOLIDAY FISHING The Goodyear dam must have been a busy spot on Tuesday as holidaying youngsters celebrated Re- anembrance Day by using their fishing gear. Biggest catch of the day was by Brian Dennis and Allin Clarke of Bowmanville who appeared at the editor's home around 4 p.m. when he was just finishing his after- noon nap. They had five sal- mon and a rainbow trout, with the largest 13 pounds. Jeff Logan had called at the office earlier with his first big fish, a 9 pounder. Their pictures will appear next week.

The brush fire was reported at 9:37 a.m. at 342 Liberty North near the old Cale House. Wind had blown fire from a large pile of burning garbage into two large piles of two by four foot insulation board on property reportedly owned by Cadillac Estates. At 4:16 p.m., a grease fire broke out in the ventilation duct above the fryers in the Burger Bus located on the IGA parking lot. oId Remermbrance Day Service at Newcastle Cenotaph On Tuesday morning, there was a good turnout for the annual Remembrance Day service at the ceno- taph in Newcastle. Unfortunately, the Legion Pipe Band was unable to attend and lead the parade of veterans and Scouts, Guides, Brownies only attended as individuals. The service was in charge of Legion Padre the Rev. Robert Hayne, assisted by the Rev. Thos. H. Smith. Legion Past President Ed Majer was in charge of arrangements. This photo shows part of the color guard, Bill and Mary Bates in the foregroùnd, the cenotaph with Legion President Stan Dunn saluting after laying a wreath, Rev. Hayne and Rev. Smith. Nine Townhouses Toppled by Wind with $ 100,000 Damage Nine townhouses under construction south of Lawrence Crescent and Quinn Drive in Waverly Gardens collapsed and "crumpled like matchsticks" in winds of up to 50 miles per hour on Monday afternoon, according to Ted van Schyndel, superintendent of the Toad Hall Equities project. There was Taxi Operator Defends Service Operator of the Bowman- ville Taxi service, Tom Van- derende, and Coun. Ken Lyall are of somewhat opposing opinions on the matter of the upkeep of appearance of vehicles used by the company. Mr. Vanderende attended Committee of the Whole, Monday to explain and defend the company s operations at ~council- eqes When questioned on the reported conditions of the vehicles, the trunk of one in particular whîch was found by a customer to be too dirty for their luggage, Mr. Vander- ende claimed that an effort is taken to keep the vehicles as 1an-as - osIe t na e did not believe it possible to keep them perfectiy clean at all times. lHe did not feel that such should be expected but receiv- ed and opposing opinion from Coun. Lyall who indicated the customer has the right to expect constant cleanliness. Coun. Lyall further explained ,that it should be the responsi- 4Cninued on Page Two)_ Took Rifle, Jacks Durham Regional Police report thieves have removed a Browning rifle and two jacks from the home of Fred Weinsheine, 90 Wellington St., Bowmanville, clean as Dossible but that he.

When they were shaking harids after the game, Paul Reid, who recently moved here from that area, was involved in a scuffle with some of the Bay Ridges players. He fell or was pushed to the ice and, according to reports, a Bay Ridges player deliberately kicked him in the face. He has four stitches in his nose which may be broken, and could quite easily have lost an eye. What punitive action will be taken hasn't been determined, but it should be severe, there's too much of this stupidity in hockey today. NICE GESTURE - Two weeks ago, we featur- ed a story concerning substantial -increases that had been awarded top staff officials of the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Edu- cation. Other area papers did likewise. An an- nouncement from the board came early this week that the senior officials have returned all payments of recently increased salaries and have requested that the board apply to the fede- ral Anti-Inflation Review Board for a ruling. Good for them. Wonder what will happen if the board decides against them? BIG WIND - That big wind on Monday must have done considerable damage in many parts of the country, including wrecking some of the town- houses under construction in the Waverly Road area. We heard of one chap who had some trees blow down and is in big trouble because of it. Apparently, some so-called friends came to help remove the fallen, and afterwards they went somewhere and lifted a few beers until rat er late at night. His wife wasn't too sympathetie. BLACK OUT - When all the lights go out as they did on.Saturday night, you realize how much we have come to depend on electric pow- er. Apparently, something happened similar to that lengthy blackout some years ago. Since then, more sophisticated equipment has been added to improve the system, so it only lasted about 15 minutes this time, but wasquite wide- spread. Now, it's back to the drawing boards again. VIOLENT AGE - Shortly after the lights came on Saturday night, there was a fight at the corner of Division and King Sts. when several visitors to town decided a local youth didn't belong on the street. They gave him quite a pounding before help came along and they fled the scene. He checked out by ambulance personnel but apparent- ly suffered no serious after effects. This used to b a nice peaceful town, most of the time. nai eaaquariers i v îy, Regional Councillor and Mayor of Newcastle Garnet Rickard has introduced a extensive damage to the units which Mr. van Schyndel unofficially estimated at $100,000. Luckily, there were no construction workers on the site at 2 p.m. when the damage occurred. - Photo by Liz Armstrong Wed.
