Five hundred boys and girls armed with 500 fishing rods and soo lunch boxes invaded Albion Hills' stream: Saturday to match wits with trout. A ten-year-old North York girl was the winner ot a brand new 1956 automobile in the big draw sponsored by. the Toronto 400 Lions Club. The girl, Bar- bara Ewles of 23 Reuben Ave., was I little confused by all the excitement in her home follow- ing a telephone call at 11 p.m. Saturday night. But to her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ewles, it was great news, no doubt about it.

And it was the latter that was drawn Saturday night at the Crang Plaza by an officer from the North York police depart- ment. V Mr. Ewles plans to sell his old car and keep the new 1956 Dodge Regent hardtop which his daughter won. And since Barbara will have to wait a few years before she may drive it. it's expected she will have no objection to Dad driving it. The draw netted some $1,800 for the recently organized To- ronto-400 Lions Club and the proceeds will aid the Club's community activities. Grant Finch was chairman of the car draw committee for the club.
