To Iroquois Park Arena this Saturday All children from 8 to 80 will be pleased to hear that the circus Is coming to town this Saturday. The George Carden International Circus will put on its three ring extravaganza at the Iroquois Park Arena for two shows this Saturday at 2 and 6 p.m. What would a circus be without elephants? In the photo below, Vicky, Judy and Jenny are seen showing off their stuff at a recent Carden circus performance. These elephants have toured the United States entertaining thousands of adoring fans. The other stars of Saturday's perfor- mances will be the flying trapeze act of the Flying Eagles (at right). Considered by over five generations of circus performers as the "royalty" of the circus, the flying trapeze artists have proved to be a wildly popular mainstay of the circus for more than a century. Tickets for both shows will be available at the Iroquois Park Arena box office on Saturday. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for children.

Both shoppers and merchants have expressed long and loud complain- ts about the situations in recent months. Last week, Whitby Town Council committed itself to spending over $50,000 towards the improvement of the parking situation in the downtown. Ed Buffett (above), chairman of the Whitby Downtown Improvement Area Board, says that the changes will improve the parking in the core and make it a more aggressive marketing tool for the merchants. According to Buffett, on-street parking will cost 25 cents for 30 minutes while parking on the off- street lots will cost 25 cents for three hours. Old meters will be converted and new meters will be in- stalled over the next three months or so. For more details, see story on page 2.
