A Look Back at the Stories That Helped Shape Our Community Pick Dairy Princesses tor Counties TOWNS OBJECTIONS STYMIED An Ontario Municipal Board hearing held in Bowmanville yesterday yesterday morning has resulted in a change in the procedures by which the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Conservation Authority will bill its eight member municipalities.

Shrives refused to listen to Reeve Robert Dykstra's complaints. complaints. Though even Charles McGib- bon, legal counsel for CLOCA said later he was puzzled by the Board's refusal to hear Mr. Dykstrà, there was apparently a solid reason behind il.

Theife were many new faces as people from town and the surrounding area swarmed leisurely along the street taking taking in the bargains and and clearance specials, its Sidewalk Sales the same period had no adverse effect on attendance here, Mr. Tippins Tippins believed.

BITS PIECES | OPEN FRIDAY NIGHTS -- Word was received today that, beginning August 6th, the Liquor store in Bowmanville will remain open Friday nights until nine o'clock «on a year round basis. The Chamber Chamber of Commerce requested this action some time ago, and apparently it was approved by the L.C.B.O. Incidentally, if the Ontario cabinet proclaims the legislation this morning, 18-year-old males and females will be able to buy and consume alcoholic beverages in licenced areas, starting at noon today. Yippee! t t t t i ERROR -- It has been called to our attention that we Inadvertently listed Clarke Reeve John Stone as head of the Durham County Co-op when he presented the baseball trophy at the Warden's picnic.

However, he did leave the door open a little Ity qualifying the statement, by saying "unless some special, situation arises that obviously calls for one." Provincinlly, the Legislature at Toronto sat until after four this morning to clean up some legislation and, we suspect, allow the government government to complete part of its pre-election program. 1 r t t ; CONGRATULATIONS -- In this edition, there are two reports of couples celebrating Golden Wedding anniversaries. It's an odd coincidence that both husbands, Hartwell Lowery and Wes Fite have been connected with municipal politics over a long pvt iod This morning, Mrs. Fico advised that they had received a telegram from the Govmiui-Gencr.il, the Right Honorable Roland Miçhener arid Mrs. Midi- cner, wishing them well. No doubt, the Lowêiys will also receive a similar message, if indeed u has not already arrived.

We had hoped to publish several pictures showing showing the jackasses in action, not the four-legged ones, those who tried to rhlo them, Hut the photos didn't turn out ns well as planned.
