Again make bld for Newcastle Village Pa rk ing lot Mr. Wilshire, president of the Newcastle and District Chamber of Commerce made another bid Monday night to have the Town provide funds for the construction of a parking lot on Town property in the Village of Newcastle. Rie renewed his remarks of former presentations stating it was an ideal location and would benefit citizens and business people alike. Counc. Taylor said council had asked for a parking lot financing report froni their staff and as yet council had not received the report., "l'm not prepared to spend money on parking lots ini the Town until we have an overal policy," he said. Counc. Gray noted a pro- blem of drainage on the property which was now affecting a neighbouring pro- perty and asked what was being done on this matter. P.R. Woodyard said that the drainage probleni would be corrected when the parking lot was established but that council was awaîting an overaîl policy. Counc. Dykstra noted that this was the first request for the Town to become involved in off-street parking and that an overaîl policy must first be established and this was the reason the matter was refer- red to staff. We don't have a policy at the present time he said. The Town manager said the report would not be ready until the first of December. No action was taken by council on the request.

Earl Rowe drove a team! He teamed "politics" and- "barness" down the road of life. To many people they may have aeemed an iii. matched pair, but they pulled together like champions. Somehow it was easy for the farmer, the smal town storekeeper, the laborer and the- tradeaman to talk to the man who mixed so freely at trackside and competed with themn on equal ternis when the race was called. His political career started in the municipal politîca of his home county, encomn- passed electîon as a Provincial Member of Parliament, Cabinet Minister, as well as lesder of his Party, Federal Cabinet Minister, and finally he becamie Lieu tenant Governor of the Province of Ontario. His barness career began as a teenager on tbe Ontsrio fair circuit, snd his famnous blue and white silka were seen throughout Canada and the northernk United States and on the Grand Circuit. He and] bis son Bili were founders of two Ontario harneas tracks at Windsor and, Barrie. A "trotting" marn, he hats for a lifetimie conibuted his energy, strength and judgment to the welfare of both the standard breed of horses and Canadian harness' racing. Harness racing provided a valuable, persona] pipeline to the gras-roots opinion of rural Canadians during the years of boom and Depression, war and recovery. His championship tea- of rmal, flesh and blood mares, Celia's Counsel and Volo Van, set the world record for teani-to-pole m-ares at Thornchiffe Park track in Toronto on Aug. 10, 1953. He drove bis hast race ai. the age of 76, but the dew of -early morning finda him training his trottersasa he remains active as owner, breeder and train. His stable competes at the track in the banda of his grandson Scott, wbo proudlY we-r the blue and white. Grandson Earl Jr. tends to business at the modern Barrie, Ont. racing plant. At 84, Hon. W. Earl Rowe. fanner, politician and statesnian applies bis lifetime of experience to his behoved troting horses.
