The Newcastle Fire Department was called to the scene of this two car collision at the intersection of Taunton Road and Highway 57 to douse gasoline leaking from the fuel tank of the overturned Chevrolet station wagon. The accident occurred last Wednesday morning at il a.m. when the driver of the station wagon, 29-year-old David Nettleton of Scotland, Ontario reportedly failed to stop at the intersection and collided with a Ford Montego driven by 69-year-old Edward McMeekin of Scarborough. Both drivers suffered minor cuts and bruises and were taken by ambulance to Memorial Hospital for treatment. Total damage to both vehicles is estimated at $4800. Nettleton has been charged by the Newcastle O.P.P. with failing to observe a stop sign. Board o'f Education Accepts Proposed WavehrSchool0 BI TS & PI ECES COMING CLOSER - It's hard to believe, but two weeks from Saturda on November 20th, the streets of Bowmanviîle will be packed for the annual Santa Claus parade. Don't miss'it. NOMINATIONS - By the time old Santa rolls into town atop his sleigh, we'll know who the candidates for Newcastle council, Regional Council and the Northumberland and Durham Board of Education will be. Nominations will be held from November 12th to 15th. So, if you are planning to enter the races, a decision will have to be made soon. Election day is December 6th. SHOCKING DEATH - The grim reaper has been hitting hard here the past few weeks and on Monday, took one of Bowmanville's long time citizens in the person of Mike Osborne, who died suddenly after a heart attack. Mike ran the service station just this side of Vanstone's Mill and many young hockey players will attest to his expertise at sharpening skates, as well. In his younger years, he was connected with championship hockey and baseball teams here and was, always good for a flood of anecdotes. He'll be sorely missed along King St. Our sympathy to his family. PRANKSTERS - Apparently, some local Hallowe'en celebrants didn't complete their rounds on Saturday night and carried on through until Sunday night when police cut down a couple of dummies hanging from railway bridges. We happened to notice one resting in a sitting position in a police cruiser at the end of the hockey game here and it looked quite realistic. The boys will have fun. GOOD ENTERTAINMENT - Rev. N. E. Schamerhorn tells us that his church's Couples Club has put together an unusual and entertaining show that they'll be presenting this Friday and Saturday in the church hall. See the advertisement in this edition for more details. He says it's packed with good fun and some old time corn that'Il bring back memories of minstrel shows of yesterday, but without any blackened faces. .PHEASANT HUNT - The City of Oshawa and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority advise that pheasants have been released in areas north of Taunton Road and at Long Sault Conservation Area. For Oshawa hunting, hunters will need licences from City Hall or Muirson's store in Columbus. In New- castle you'll need an Ontario Small Game Licence and a Town of Newcastle Licence.
