Direct invitations could be sent to church 'groups and junior farmer organizations, Otherwise, intending competitions could obtain entry forms and de- tails of the competitions from the secretary, Foster Snowden, at RR 2 Oshawa. A group was detailed off to set up rules and regulations and re- commend judges for the compe- tition. The fiddler's contest will be limited to fiddlers brought along to play by the groups. It is possible also that some form of prize will be offered for the best caller. The question of judging general- ly cropped up, when Mr. pointed out that in his opinion, the fair board, like Caesar's wife, should be above suspicion.

Branch told council a charge had already been laid against the company under the {zoning bylaw. | Police arc checking on the By Board Trustee George Drynan's h trading ability was re-instated at an emergency meeting of the Oshawa Board of Education Mon- day night. The meeting was held to decide on a land trade with Holshawa subdividers. At the last meeting of the board, when Trustee Drynan re. ported on the merits of an even trade with Holshawa, Trustee A. E. O'Neil remarked: "It's a good thing you weren't a horse trader in my day." Trustee Margaret Shaw, at the same meeting, said: "YHoishawa must think they are taking candy from a baby." At the suggestion of Trustee William Werry, the matter was tabled until all members could view the land sites concerned. MEMBERS UNANIMOUS Apparently the land looked good. The board members were unanimous in voting for the trade. It was Trustee Shaw who made the motion. The board of education owned a five acre property on Adelaide street at the southern extremity of the old golf course; they are trading it for a five acre property owned by Holshawa subdividers, north of the Hillcroft extension from Ritson road eastward about three blocks east of Ritsop road and a block north of Hillcroft George Drynan in summing up the new property said that it was admirably suited for landscaping, ané that architecturally a beauti. ful school could be built with en- trances on two levels. NEAR PLAYING FIELD The new property is much centrally located, and is adjacent to a parcel of land owned by the city, that could be an excellent area for a playing field. It was agreed that it may not be necessary to build a school on the property for several years. It was brought to the board's attention by Trustee Drynan the trees at the Wilson road school site were in danger of being destroyed by bulldozing methods at the school property. He said one particular willow tree is in great danger of being destroyed, as a large branch and part of the trunk was torn away by the bulldozer. He said he was concerned because this particular tree was very beautiful and most valuable. Members of the board agreed: with Trustee Drynan, and added that landscaping cost a lot of money without destroying what was already on the property. It was moved and carried that the building planning committee engage the services of a tree sure. loading ang unloading, said Ald. | Branch. : geon, to try to save this tree.
