Staff Sergeant Sandy Ryrie said citizens were turning in the offensive offensive leaflets by the hundreds. "It's the most literature of this kind that we've ever seen," he said. Most of the reported incidents involved involved random scatterings of 2-inch by 4-inch leaflets featuring a circled swastika and the words: "Fight Crime ... Deport Niggers." At the bottom is a mailing address in Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska. Residents on Davis Court in Hampton, on Old Scugog Road in Enniskillen, and on Trulls Road in Courtice found the leaflets littered along the side of the road early Monday morning. "These were mainly thrown in ditches and scattered in driveways, but a few in Oshawa may have been targeted," said Sgt. Ryrie. About a half dozen envelopes containing racist literature, including including a publication called "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" were found on Munday Court, just off Hwy. 57, west of Bowmanville. A resident found one of the envelopes Sunday night. Police suspect the distribution may have been done over the wéek- Continued on Page 3 by Laura J.

' This means approximately 3,000 HOLIDAY DEADLINE - The last holiday of the summer season season or the first of the fall season is coming up next Monday, Sept. 6th - Labor Day. So, the deadline for placing classified advertisements in the Sept. 7th, Canadian Statesman will be Friday, Sept. 2nd at 4 p.m. Of course, our office and plant will be closed on the holiday, as will other stores in town, except for the customary handi outlets. And may you and yours have a safe and enjoyable holiday, hopefuly, with good weather. NEW METERS - Our thanks to Doug Walton of Newcastle for bringing to oilK^ttention the fact that the town has purchased purchased and installed some-new. electronic parking meters. He got caught because he thought the meter showed 15 minutes left. It's possible that the meter may have read - 00:15, Which means the time expired 15 minutes previously, but the town was actually giving whoever used the meter a break of that much time. THERE'S STILL TIME - Bowmanville's shopping section may be quieter than usual today, with so many of our citizens heading to the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto for Clarington Day. Our staff members were somewhat restricted from attending because this newspaper was being produced today today at the regular hour and distributed as usual. Also, most area Conservatives will be chomping on cobs of com at their annual picnic in Blackstock and a staff member will be there reporting on the event. Haven't heard what is planned for entertainment. OLD POLITICIANS - There seems to be a fair amount of in- terst building up in the provincial election in Quebec. Monday night, Premier Johnson, a Liberal, debated on television with contender Jacques Parizeau of the Parti Québécois and gained some ground. But, according to polls, he needed more impetus than he got from the encounter. We'll know better after election day, Sept. 12th. Here, there is a drastic shortage of candidates for municipal offices, with only a couple of months left. His many friends here will be interested to leam that fonmer provincial provincial member Doug Moffatt, now of the Uxbridge area, is contemplating contemplating running for a municipal council seat in Scugog Township. Maybe he should move back here and ran. YOUNG MUSICIAN - Congratulations are the order of the day for Holly Douglas of Newcastle who recently recived 80% First Class Honours at the Royal Conservatory of Music, passing passing the Grade 6 clarinet examination with flying colors. Holly's insructor remains anonymous, but we can't help wondering if, possibly, Holly may have been inspired by clarinetist Henry Cucsta of the famous Lawrence Welk band or Dixiclander Pete Fountain who was also tops with that instrument. Maybe the next step might be with the Clarington Concert band. Newcastle Newcastle has also come up with a world class gold medal winner in archery. That story appears elsewhere in this paper.

"However, - it's very difficult to count up how many people were here during the two-day event," said Kristin McCrea, one-half of the organizing organizing team. "It's not like at the Orono Fair, where they count everyone who comes through the gate," she added. The farmers, businesses and organizations organizations who were part of the tour have just begun to get their re- . marks back to McCrea and Elva Reid. "We've been hearing that people were twice or three times as busy as they were last year," McCrea said. Some figures that she offered included included the fact that 600 people visited visited The Grange on Saturday, Aug. 27, to view' the over 80 fabulous quilts on exhibit. McCrea noted Ôte Kendal- Unit'd Church ladies sold out of' food and cleared a hefty profit with their lunch and homemade pies. "And they tripled the food they had last year," McCrea pointed out. McCrea said at Red Wing Farm, the Bowmanville BIA booth manned by Garth Gilpin went through eight bushel baskets of apples apples by handing one to each person. The Kawartha Culinary Association sold 718 sandwiches over the weekend. weekend. She also noted Dorothy's House Museum, operated by East Durham Continued on Page 5 Exotic Animals Removed from Newtonville Farm by Laura J. Richards The lions, tigers and other creatures creatures at the Endangered Animal Sanctuary near Newtonville have been removed. On Wednesday, August 24, they were shipped from the farm that has been their home for the past year. A representative of the Clarington Clarington By-Law Department told The Canadian Statesman late last week that the exotic animals kept on Lakeshorc Road for the past 14 months had made the move to Ro- scncath, Ontario. "Mr. Bill Vail lores and the animals animals arc gone," said Lcn Creamer, Chief By-Law Officer with Clarington. Clarington. "The property (as of Thursday morning) is sans animals," Creamer said. Vallicrcs, die man who cares for the animals, was there for the weekend weekend to clear out his personal belongings belongings and a couple of pci dogs, Creamer said. Had the owners of the sanctuary not removed the animals by the' deadline, they would have been subject subject to a $l,(XX)-pcr-day fine.

Championships. Chris Van Mcyl won the award in Culford, England. So close was the scoring that, alter five days, only a single point separated the first, second and third place finishers in the competition for archers 15 and under. Chris's score placed him 16th among all the international-calibre archers in the competition. One of the few to out-shoot him was his father and coach, Louie Van Mcyl, who placed sixth overall. En route to his international title, Chris, captured gold medals in the Ontario and Canadian championships championships held in July. In the Canadian championship, he achieved a score of 531 out of a possible perfect score of 560. It was his personal best and was a mark he would later match in his world championship victory. The young champion has been competing since he was six years old and has been shooting since he was three or four. Archery is a sport of precision. Elite archers rarely miss their target. At 10 yards, Chris can hit a penny. At 30 yards, he can hit a bull's eye just two and one-half inches wide. Because competitors seldom miss, archery is not the ideal spectator spectator sport. Instead, it is a participant's sport, which can be enjoyed by people people under 10 or over 70. The field archery, competition lakes place over a landscape which, in some ways, resembles a golf course. As with a golf course, there arc different challenges at each target target site. For example, participants may have to shoot up or down a steep hill or may have to aim at a target located on a slope. The distances distances to the target vary, but for Chris's age group, the farthest target was no more than 30 yards from the contestant. Unless they are facing a severe lightning storm, participants will play in all weather.
