M.P.'s Join in the The annual picnic that Federal Labour, Minister Mike Stair and Ontario Transport Minister Dr, Matt. Dymond held at Greenwood Park in Pickering must really be a popular habit for some folks. Last Saturday as some 700 persons were enjoying themselves at the third annual picnic staged by the two Ont- ario Riding members, a bride and groom suddenly appeared among the celebrants. At first it looked like someone was playing a joke--but it was the real thing. The happy couple was Mr, and Mrs. Richardson Nicholson and they had been married for less than an hour when they arrived at the pienic. Mrs. Nicholson, the former Anne Potter, explained they had always at- tended the picnic in the past and "did not want to miss it this time." Labour Minister Starr and Trans- port Minister Dymond congratulated the young couple and Dr. Dymond placed a kiss on the young bride's cheek. Fun at Picnic This year'sgpicnic was described by the picnic committee chairman Bill Thompson as the "biggest and best." Labour Minister Starr explained that he and Dr. Dymond were ex- fremely happy about the picnic be- cause it enabled them to meet a great many of their constituents "under very pleasant conditions." Dr, Dy- mond added that he enjoyed the ple- nic because business was forgotten for the time being and everyone always had a good time. ~ As the youngsters took part in num- erous races or else took pony rides, the fathers tried their hand at horse- shoes and the mothers sat in shaded areas and talked and kept an eye on their youngsters, Lord Athol Leyton, one of the greats of the wrestling world, was on hand to act as master of ceremonies during the races and sign a few dozen auto- graphs. During a basket dinner Al Harvey, the popular entertainer, play- ed the piano and led the picnickers in a sing song. WHEN SECONDS Tuesday afternoon the Port Perry Fire Brigade responded promptly to a fire call. Following directions given took them to a farm in Cartwright Township when the fire was in Reach Township. The confusion lay in the fact that the Bowles farm on the 8th Concession was the only designation given to the person taking the call the only Bowles farm he new was in Cartwright Township, In a matter of such urgency as a fire a few seconds longer making sure that the direct- ions are clear could mean the differ- ence of saving or losing the property: The responsibility of giving clear dir- ections lies with the person reporting the fire. In this case by the time the fire- men did arrive at the scene of the blaze the combine which was afire was pretty well destroyed. Enter C.N.E.
