reason booze was openly dis- played and consumed at the ball park. There was little fear the police would show up. The same sltuatlon occurred many tlmes at the Durham Arena last winter. We have repeatedly heard from the policing authorities it is not their job to attend hockey games and other public functions. We ac- cept no part of this thinking, and consider it only an excuse. This Why this was tolerated, is beyond thts writer's imagination. At fault is the police department vho seldom attend public func- tions, and obviously this is the Thousands of dollars were spent on the nev ball park, mak- ing it one of the best in this part of Ontario. it is for the use of the general public, young and old alike and was not intended as an outside beverage room.

The children became so in- volved in the atmosphere and events of Saturday, both at the lair and at the Zarry's farm, that their vocabulary and know- ledge has increased amazingly, and I can see we'll be talking about nothing but ‘the trip' for weeks -- which was, of course, my original intent. Unlottunately, we had to find out about another aspect of small- town concern for others, that is, the hospital and stafl. In a freak accident at the farm, one of our boys, Hark Roncolato, slipped off the hay- wagon and fell in such a way as to break his leg. Within minutes, Mark had a qualified and sympathetic ortho- paedic surgeon, Dr. Culver, to care for him. The x- ray techni- cian drove into the hospital at a moment’s notice, and two volun- teer ambulance attendants gave up a whole night to drive usdovn to Toronto, when this appearedto be necessary. Hark hlmselt behaved ex- ceedingly well at the hospital, but I thlnk anyone would have done the same when they hod such capable and sympathetic people caring for them from the moment they arrived. tiny I, then, express my per- sonal thanks to the stall and volunteers at Durham Hospital, as a great load as lifted irom my shoulders when I saw the efficiency of these people. Mark’s family also send appreciation of the care he was given. Page Two - Thurs., Sept. 26. 1968 (Established 1857) INCORPORATING THE DURHAM REVIEW A Wuhiy Newspaper Duvohd M the lntarasts n! on.
