Although many of the evasive missles were shattered by the marksmen many others sailed out of range and plopped into the lake, much to the frustration of the ardent trap - shooters. Bill Welsh, in charge of the shoot, said a total of 46 members entered the competition. Paul Shannon, whose accurate shooting destroyed 21 out of 25 birds, was top shot of the day. Ted Arnold who also shattered 21 birds, was second, the differ- ence decided by the greatest number of consecutive hits in a row.

RUSHED TO HOSPITAL Two girls, both about 12, were rushed to the hospital minutes apart, on Saturday. They both had swollen stomachs. St. John Ambulance corpsmen thought it would be safer to take them to the hospital rather than attempt first aid at the picnic.

STATUE ATTRACTION Down by the west end of the park, the statue nude leaned on a rock, immobile, gazing enig- matically into the rippling water of the small pool. She was much admired by the children, Narrow shoots of water erupted from pores around the base of her pedestal, trickling down her back and running off the end of her nose as if she had a bad cold. One eight-year-old girl to her brother and said, in her bare feet", Another gir] stuck her toe in the pool. A boy snuck up behind her and pushed her partly in. The chase was on.

To him it was not stuffed but a real tiger from the far off Indian jungle, He hugged it close as he walk- ed away. This was in contrast to the look of scared enjoyment on a small child's face as he sat in the cock- pit of a blue plane flying a cir- cular course.

The new Chev will replace a 1953 model for Mr. Tracy for the in)-mile journey every day to Oshawa and back to Omemee. He is wondering, however, where his family of nine will fit in the sedan. Mr. Tracy told The Oshawa "pretty happy" He added that he hasn't had time to consider any trips with the new car. Mr, Puffer was very pleased At 3 p.m., busloads of fun-seek- ers were still being deposited at the park. But tired mothers were head- ing for the exits, ushering herds of tired children.

And still some of the picnic goers clamored for {more when some of the booths ran out. LINE-UPS EVERYWHERE There were line-ups, line-ups everywhere including long im- patient queques in front of the public toilets and the singular telephone booth. An estimated 150 to 200 children were snaked out in straggling lines in front of each of the nine 'mechanical TREMENDOUS LITTER Although Parks Superintendent and|Herb Bathe and his staff had| to leave before the draw.

A draw of membership numbers later in the day would determine the winner of a boat, motor and trailer, all worth $1450. LOST CHILDREN Back at the lost and found cen- tre, a man with a mike was say- ing, "We have little Cindy Ford here. She's five years old. And she's lost. Would her parents come and pick her up, please?" Cindy stood there, clutching a green pail and a yellow plastic shovel. She looked hopefully out over the crowd. Her long red hair hung in ringlets below her shoul ders. And a brave sort of smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, While the ball games command- ed good crowds, swarms of chil charged one particular booth about every half hour when cardboard boxes full of balloons were emptied over a forest of| upstretched hands. Many balloons were broken by| the clutching and grabbing. ! bellies and hairless chests.

In an earlier game the Modern Upholsterers defeated Karn Drugs (4-3) after playing four over-time innings. This was the first game of the series. In the second game, Real Estate defeated Men's Wear 4-2, Second baseman, Harman, started off the scoring for the 'Real Estate" team in the first inning of the final game. Malloy and Brown followed immediately with runs, before the side was re- tired. Outfielder Sutton scored the only run for Modern Upholster- ers, if that inning.

In the same ifining, Young, Shearer and Davis scored for the "Real Estate" team. Sutton scored for the *'Up- holsters" in the sixth, making the score 10-8. There were no runs in the bottom of the seventh; so the game was called without playing the last half of that in- ning. In the first game of the se- ries, after 11 'innings of play, Hodgson, Degray, and McPhee had all scored runs for Karn Drugs. Sutton, Berwick and Me- Mullen scored for Modern Up- holsterers.
