TIMELY FINDI Art Priestley of Newcastle dropped in on Tuesday with old newspapers he found in trunks that he had purchased. One was a copy of the Toronto Telegram of Oct. 10th, 1951 featuring a visit to Canada by Princess Elizabeth. By sheer coincidence, she has just returned home after another visit as our Queen, to the Olympics. On Sunday night at Sor Creek Park, these three young men hadl quite a time maintaining their balance on top of the fence while looking uat the fireworks display. Between 2,000 and 3,000 spectators were on han for the show staged as the final event of the Jaycees' Bowmanville Week. We inserted the phoney fireworks. 22 Pa es
