BITS 16» PIECES i NO PROBLEM -- While police in that nearby "evil" city of Toronto were picking up motorists right and left making them blow into the new breathalyzer machines, this area remained quiet and peaceful and comparatively pure over New Year's Eve ... at least that's what the police tell us. They didn't put any suspected indulgers through the test to see if their breath registered more than .08 milligrams of alcohol. alcohol. That new law certainly scared the heck out of a lot of people though, It probably also saved quite • a few lives . . . and that's a good thing. They'll get it, the next holiday weekend instead. t t t t t CHANGES -- Quite a few changes have taken place along our main street during the past few weeks. Central Ontario Trust have moved their office back to Oshawa, Seaboard Finance have moved from the corner of King and Temperance to the former Jackson Drug Store. McMullen Hardware is showing signs of reopening under management of the well-known Carnegie family of Port Perry. So, we have lost a few and gained some new ones. That's the way the cookie crumbles, crumbles, as they say. Wonder when somebody is going to take over the theatre property and open up a business of some type? t t t t t FREEZE -- The current stretch of cold weather has lasted now for several weeks, and been a real boon to those who have started outdoor rinks in their back yards. At the moment, there are dozens of them around the town, where the youngsters have had a wonderful time during the holidays. It must be tough on the water supply and the water bills, but certainly has given some of the would-be NHL hockey players of the future, more ice time than they could possibly get any other way. And so far, there's no sign of the customary January thaw. ■ t t t t t BRAWL -- According to reports, there was a fair-sized brawl near the four corners on Friday about midnight between Bowmanville's long hairs and the short-haired fellows. As the squabble squabble continued, about 50 spectators gathered to witness the event, while others going home, crossed over to the north side of the street to avoid trouble. No major casualties were reported, reported, but there were a few noses bleeding before energies subsided and peace restored. No details of the cause of the outburst have been released. Maybe we'll really need that Lennon 'Peace' Festival at Mosport if this continues. At least that will be a better spot than King Street for those who are eager to gel into a scrap. + T + + t FRIGHTENING -- On Monday evening, a mother and her two young daughters were walking south ' on Liberty St, south of the hospital, when several boys old enough to know better, began bothering them. The encounter concluded with the boys taking one girl's Brownie hat and running away with it. Needless to say to the youngsters and their mother it was a frightening experience. If your son came home with a Brownie hat on Monday night, a few words of wisdom might bç in order. Also, please return the hat to The Statesman office and we'll give it to the owner. J.
