Smith assisted Kelli in the handling of the match flame itself. For those of you who made long distance calls at Christmas, your correspondent hopes things went as smoothly as they did for us. We only experienced busy circuits once, and got through right away for. .the, other calls, mainly to my family. The telephone is,^, wonderful way to keep in touch on special occasions, especially when there are no relatives near at hand. The ones we gave long distance certificates to really appreciated them. Condolences of the community go to the family and friends of the following: Lorraine Evans, on the death of her father, Clarence Thertell, Tuesday, December 24 th in Bowmanville Memorial Hospital with spring interment at Orono Cemetery. The funeral was at Morris' Funeral Chapel on Friday, Dëcember 27th; Mrs. Charles Ingram, whose sister died in Fort Erie Christmas week; Mrs. Norma Strong, on the death of her husband, Jimmy Strong, on Saturday, December 28th, in Bowmanville Memorial Hospital, with spring interment at Pontypool Cemetery.

It was a beautiful evening, lasting into New Year's morning. On behalf of all those who attended, thanks are given to all who worked so hard to make it as successful as it was. A good job was done by all. • Kawartha Downs Opens New Race Season on January 5th Training Session For January 13 Following a great season of racing, Kawartha Downs opened for the season on Sunday, January 5th.
