Enniskillen Girl Overcomes Cancer eport Condemns Newc stle Arena The latest report of an engineering study just completed on the, Newcastle Village arena states that the building is unsafe for public occupancy. The report recommends that the use of the building be discontinued immediately. The document, comes from the engineering firm of Leighton and Kidd. It is the result of a second investigation of the building by thej firm commissioned by the town to study three arenas in the Town of Newcastle. The first report. completed over a month ago said the building Volume 122 20c Per Copy was in relatively good shape, but needing between $8,000 and $10,000 in repairs. However, the Ministry of Labour asked the Town of Newcastle to review the Newcastle village arena once again. But the second investigation used a different set of standards. When the engineers took a second look, they treated the building as a curved roof structure, ,not a single slope structure The fact that the Ministry of Labour requires the building to be treated as a curved roof structure has apparently made the difference between the first Leighton and Kidd report and the most recent one just released today.

It took doctors at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto over two years and regular doses of radiation followed by chemotherapy to bring the disease under control, but as the photo shows, Leslie has been able to overcome the problem successfully. Now an active ten-year-old, she is also the proud owner of four cats -- Mitzi, Morris, Bonnie and Clyde. Here she poses with one of them on the front porch of her home near Enniskillen.

The dance was planned to take place in the arena this Saturday. According to Tom Berry, of the Kinsmen club, there were about 100 couples who had bought tickets for the event and Mr. Berry said these people will get their money back. The Kinsmen couldn't hold the dance at the Newcastle Hall because the Hall was already booked. The Browns- dale Hall was considered too small. 0MB Hearing Denies Request For Extension of Building for Commercial Use In Newcastle Stanley Gujda's bid to extend his commercial build- ing for a third commercial use at the corner of Arthur Street and Highway 2 in the former Village of Newcastle was denied at an Ontario Munici- pal Board hearing Wednesday at the Bowmanville Court House. A.J.L. Chapman, Q.C., was the tribunal's chairman. Permission had been given to Mr. Gujda to execute the work by a Newcastle Commit- tee of Adjustment decision in November 1976 when the Committee, sitting in Hamp- ton, decided that the applica- tion was a Minor Variance to the former Village by-law. Mr. Gujda planned to con- struct the addition on the east side of his building which was (Turn to Page Two) Computerization in Use at Bank of Montreal Branch Banking has come a long way since 1893. In this photograph, Bank of Montreal Manager, Richard Bedard, holds a ledger from the Bank of Ontario dating back to 1893. Transactions in the ledger were recorded by hand, a far cry from the new computerized record keeping system now in use at the bank. Teller Gwen Wagg stands beside a new computer terminal that will link the Bowmapville branch of the Bank of Montreal to a computer in Toronto. The new system of record keeping, which went into operation Monday will mean less manual work for the tellérs, according to Mr. Bedard. No doubt the bankers from 1893 would be envious.

Museum Has Had Visitors From 6 Provinces, 9 Stotels It is interesting to note that Bowmanville Museum has had visitors from six provin- ces, nine states of the U.S.A., and from Britain and Holland. EARLY TRAINING - An advertisement in this week's Coming Events advises all prospective members of the Eagles Junior C hockey team that pre-season training sessions will begin at Pine Ridge School August 24th at 7:30 p.m. Anyone interested is asked to attend, but wouldn't you know this item would come in on the first really hot day we've had in some time, to remind us that winter isn't too far away. Also, the boys may have quite a long off the ice training season if repairs on the arenas don't get underway soon. PIGEON KILLER - A call came to the house last night allegedly from J. Hogervorst on Jane St. to the effect that their cat or someone else's had killed about 45 pigeons. We received the information second hand and haven't been able to get the Hogervorsts on the phone today, for confirmation. But, if the information is true we feel certain the town's personnel department should look into it immediately to see if that cat can be hired to eliminate the problem at the- town hall. There might be some difficulty with the cat qualifying for membership in the CUPE local, but that probably could be overcome so long as union dues were deducted. BEAUTY QUEEN - Remember Mary Niddery, the attractive and personable deputy clerk at the Township of Darlington office for quite a few years? She is now retired and living in Toronto. On the weekend, her grand-daughter Debby Fernan- dez, a second year law student, was chosen Miss Toronto at the annual Police games. Former clerk Walter Rundle remembers Debby as a beautiful youngster when she came to Hampton to visit her grandmother and apparently she has improved with age. LIONS CARNIVAL - This Friday evening, the annual Lions Club Carnival will be held at Memorial Párk with the usual games plus several new features for young and older folks. At the end of the evening, there will be a draw for a gleaming 1976 Monte Carlo with power steering and brakes, a superb prize for only a $1,00 ticket. If the weather stays warm and clear like it was on Tuesday, it should be a great night. Come on down, enjoy the fun and help the Lions raise funds for their community work. WELCOME - This week, we extend best wishes to a new business in the Waverley Road plaza called Famiy Threds. For details of their oning specias see the advertisement in this edition on page five.
