The Oshawa fair and council of the Auto c city are considering a complex in the south of Oshawa which t 'if" it is to go ahead will have harness racing. It is reported that the Mayor and reps from the Agricultural Society are invading Ottawa to claim some 105 nights of racing tor tne city.

For some reason or other the fall has an attraction and presently the banks of the Wilmot south of Highway No. 2 is now attracting the ardent fisherman. Making a trip to the stream Sunda'y morning it was found that some had made their appearance at 4.30 a.m. and one early bird had on display a salmon trout measuring over thirty inches. Both salmon and rainbow are making their appearance in the stream. Roe seems to be the bait and don't forget if you make the trip the weather is cold especially down by the lake. *MMoMMMmmmmme Mmmmmg * I Newcastle Recreation Department *. * Bowmanville Girls'a : Recreation Hockey League : REGISTRATION FEE IS $10.00 PER GIRL Girls 15years and not yet 21 as of December 31,1974 I * E Those wishing to coach or referee contact the.
