The plot centres around the banishment of a young knight from King Arthur's Round table who has been given a year to find out "What women really want." The young actors are not new to the stage as many have been and are members of-the Bowmanville High School Drama Clubs and the arke Drama Club. Last year a similar play was presented in Newcastle with Ewert agin being the playwrite and director of-his young band of actors and ac-' tresses from the community. On that occasion the group layed to full houses with an extra performance having to be added to satisfy those wishing to attend.' There is a close com- munication between those on stage and the audience at the Newcastle Linîteci Church which accommodates a few over one hundred for each performance. The stage is al set for the flrst performance. Assisting in the production is Ray Noble who along with Charles Ewert wrote- the music and song for some tweive numbers. The band for the promotions is com- posed of Steve Kelly, Dave Ashton and Irwin Spec kert. Pearl Noble and Cathie Ewert designed the costumes for the play.

Some major highways will also be patroiled by OPP air- craft. An OPP officer in the aircraft, spots moving violators and radios the in- formation to interceptor of- ficier on the ground. Speeding drivers are timed between yeilow triangular markers painted on the highway pavement at haîf- kilometre intervals. "It's up to the individuai driver to prevent accidents", says Comm. Erskine.

Gasson said Bi-Way was Canada's leading, department store and the store to locate in Bowmanville would be the 95th 3tore in Canada. He pointed out that the store would hire from 30 to 35 people and would keep shoppers at home.

It is understood that Bi-Ways wil open in the Mal with 7,000 square feet of floor space. Gasson said the store wiil open within a month.
