Main Street, Phonie 109, Orono, Ontarloa Eemblished in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Mdtr and Manager About Time .It is encouraging to know that Clarke Township is now -included in a study relating to Regional Government. Unfortunately the initiative to have Clarke included in the study was not taken by Council but rather on some f ormi of direction from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and also by the Osh awa district, group who have been looking into the aspects of Regional Government. The important feature is, however, that Clarke is now included in a regional form of study. It is to behloped that Council takes a greater interest in this liew develop- ment in Municipal affairs, The move in this area to Reg- jonal Governmcnt is apparently no more than two years away and initiative must be shown to direct the move for Clarke in the best interest of this community. Through this column we have supported the move for Clarke Township to the Oshawa District in regional government. We have based our opinion on the fact that the development and growth of Clarke Township will be tied with the happenings in the area to the west. Also municipalities to the west have a much better relationship between residential and industrial assessment than have the majority of municipalities to the east. The study, now including Clarke, should give many answers to this next big move in Municipal govérnment. It should give a basis on which to make a sound decision for this area rather than drifting to one or the other. Paper Drive Helps Many Give the Sigma-C's in Orono a boost this Saturday by hiaving your waste, paper placed at the curb for collec- * tion.

IWonder Fromnipage 1 ing a short cut across the playing field while a game was in pro- gress. Suddenly 'a hand grabbed me as a voice was saying, "Here, you'll do. Put this on. Get in here at first?" A littie bewildered, there I stood, with a first base- man's mîtt on my hand, in an actual game. What teams were playing or what had happened to the first baseman I was replac- ing, 1 neyer knew. Crack and there was a line drive coming right at me. Auto- matically, in self-defense, I some- how got that glove b'etween me and the oncoming bail. It nearly knocked me down but it stuck in the glove. That ended it. A fluke catch ended the game with two men on in position to bring in the winning run. Amid the ensu- ing screaming and yelling, some- body snached the mitt off iny hand shouting, "Great work kid! You won the game for us." Toward the end of the very next skating season, as the farm- ing spring weather was having an effect upon the ice, I suddenly by Jackman PHONE COLLECT 162 King St. E. BOWMAN VILLE For Ail Your Flower Needs found a weak spot. The ioe sag- ged and I Went througli. 1 amn not likely toi forget those agoniz- ing moments when, struggling upward, straining to see the hole I had fallen through, 1 found no hole. Water and ice ail looked alike. At length, my head came up into the hole I had made, flot under the ice. Before long, a boy, lying on his belly and being pushed from be- hind by others on their bellies, grasped my hands and I was draggcd until the ice no longer cracked and broke away. I was, lifted to my feet and my rescuerc, were gone. From these two incidents 1 learned something, beyond, ques- tion, beyond doubt.
