"It was very successful this year, the gate is up at least 25 per cent," said Walter Beat, president of the South Ontario Agricultural Society, All of the concessionaires were happy with the response of the people, in fact, many of them have already reserved space for next year," said Mr, Beath, There were many . excited winners of all of the events as there is at every fair and the children especially enjoyed the rides and candy floss, _ Plans for the centennial fair next year will get underway in about three weeks when the executive will meet, Operation Happiness Treat For Children Many organizations offer aid to retarded children, but the midway of a carnival -- a child's delight -- was only a dream to these boys and girls. That is until 'operation hap- piness" arrived, Peter Marsh, of Peter Marsh Shows, which played the Oshawa. Fair, pioneered the way to make this dream come true, Mr, Marsh lives on a farm between Whitby and Ajax dur- ing the carnival off season, Operation Happiness is when the whole carnival is taken to the hospital grounds and every- thing is offered free to the children, They play the games until they win, no one goes away emply-handed, Midway Man Fined $500 Walter Scott, 26, of 306 Queens Ave., London, was fined $500 with the alternative of 60 days, for cheating at play, Aug. 5. Mr, Scott, an employee of Peter Marsh Shows, that sup- plied the midway for the Osh- awa Fair, was spotted by a detective. He was not keeping an accurate tally of the game called, roll-a-ball and as a re- sult, some players who should have been counted as winners, were nol, "One of the most under- handed ways of obtaining gain, is to cheat at play," said Mag- istrate H. W, Jermyn. "The courts will not condone this kind of an offence." The fine was paid in bundles of one dollar bills, The idea for operation 'Hap- piness"' came to life in the mind of Joe Caplin, an ex-carnival man from Toronto, "I once saw some youngsters from a school for retarded chil- dren come to a fair in Simcoe," said Mr, Caplin. RESTRICTED "They were restricted and had to be told when to move and when not to move, I thought if the carnival was brought to them, they would be able to ride, play and eat free- ly," he said, Mr. Caplin knew Mr. Marsh and. together they made plans for operation 'Happiness.' Mr. Marsh wrote to Henry E. Heckler, business adminis- trator at Cedar Springs Hospi- tal-School, just outside Chatham, and offered his services, Broker Dealers Association| and merchants from all over Ontario, donated apples , name tags and fire works, Candy floss and popcorn were sup- plied by the carnival owner, | Next stop for operation 'Happiness' is Smith Falls,| where 2,600 children will have) their very own carnival right in the back yard, Mr. Marsh and his staff treat the operation as they would| a regular paying one, At Cedar) Springs, they worked until 3| a.m, to get the carnival ready for the next day, | "Tt is hoped that we can in-| terest other carnival owners in| our endeavor," said Mr, Marsh, That way we could help a lot more kids, We would like to| see it set up on a basis where- oe, seer okt *! OHIO MAN BRINGS BRIDE the carnivals." "A MOVING EVENT" Departure from Oshawa and friends was a difficult task Sat- urday for the 30 Quebec stu- dents who had been visiting Oshawa and area for two weeks on an exchange program, "It was quite a moving event with a lot of crying and mutual regret about leaving," said Fred Upshaw, chairman of the Jaycees exchange student com- Ewe lamb/Oshawa vo mittee, Trading visits between students and young |people in Quebec is a Jaycee- jsponsored annual event. | "Before I came on this trip it was a French Canadian, now il am all Canadian," said one jexchange student, | Students expressed their shears --jthanks to the Jaycees at the -- |CNR station for a well-balanced jand interesting program, Mr, Upshaw said the train jstation was the scene for a jvery unhappy event, with sev- eral students expressing the desire to prolong the visit, |SING ALOQUETTE "They sang Alouette and Departure Difficult For Exchange Students "Old Lang Syne" as_ they waited for a late train," said Mr, Upshaw. He said the program ap: peared to be a big success because the students said they enjoyed the entire trip, parents were pleased that such a pro- gram existed and education- ally, the students were able to see many significant points in Ontario, | Mr, Upshaw said the Ontario- wide program will be extended to include about 3,000 more students next Centennial year, bringing the number of 5,000 Ontario-participating students, Dehowe 2» 3 VSnewa ana change students attended a Jaycette evening of dancing, swimming and wiener roasting at Geneva Park, Wednesday. "The students mingled well at the wiener roast but ex- pecially at the dance," said the president of the Jaycees, Gerry Brooks, It was the last official item on the program before "bon voyage" at the station.

"We couldn't get any place ~~ | TO VISIT AUTO MUSEUM When an Ohio man brings his new bride to visit the Ca- nadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa, it's a pretty good indication of the museum's popularity, says Herb Bren- nen, assistant Chamber of Commerce manager. "A growing interest in the museum can be seen in the increased number of tourists who have heard from others what an attraction it is," he said, Visitors from six countries signed the guest book; 17 states were represented and visitors from over 70 Ontario cities have been to the auto» motive museum this sum- mer. The museum has recently added two antique cars to its collection: a 1920 two-seater Packard and a 1932 seven- passenger touring model Packard, Pickering Woman Dies After Crash Mrs. Maria Neilson, Station Rd., Pickering was killed, her husband seriously injured and 19 passengers in a bus sustain- ed miner injuries Saturday afternoon when a bus and a car collided on the Macdonald- Cartier Freeway, near the Shep- pard Ave., exit, A spokesman for the Whitby detachment of: the Ontario Pro- vincial Police said a Colonial Coach Lines bus, driven by Charles Mills, of Keene, Ont., was involved in a head-on col-'hurt lision with the car in which Mr, and Mrs, Neilsen were riding, Mrs, Neilsen died Sunday morning in Scarboro General Hospital, Her hushand, Biarne, is in the same hospital with multiple injuries, Police said the bus, west- bound from Montreal to Toronto, apparently went out of control after colliding with a westbound vehicle, then crossed the median to the eastbound lane, The west- bound car toppled into a 'ditch with them at all," USW Inter. national representative Grant Taylor said today, "Progress was made as far as we're concerned on the con- tentious question of welfare," Ontario Malleable manager Russell Wilson said today. "However, other matters such as wages and so on still have to be agreed upon." Mr. Wilson said they got to the point where the "welfare problem" was "pretty well re- solved,"" "There's very little to sep- arate us there now," he said, "Further talks will have to be held before these other matters will be resolved," WAGE QUESTION Mr, Taylor said "we cleared up a few minor things" but that the company felt the two sides were still "too far apart" on the question of wages, He said the union is asking for parity with Fittings Ltd, whose base rates in November will be $2.12 and $2.17 an hour, The current Ontario Malleab¥ rate is $2 an hour, The 500 members of Local 1500, United Steelworkers of America have been on strike since June 14 to back up de- mands for a new contract with hettar weoees and ye hen som wer WESSS & CaaS, FAIR WINNERS Winners in the hay classes were: First cutting, 60 per cent legume--Glen Glaspell.

The submission's main rec- ommendation is abolition of varying municipal bylaws in the province that control fireworks sales, or at least try to, City Fire Chief, Raymond Hobbs, today threw his water- bucket of support on the brief, AGAINST BAN "Every Tom, Dick and Harry and his brother sells them," is Chief Hobb's greatest com- plaint, though he added he wouldn't want to see fireworks Dorset ¢ asses! sR.

"The law says you have to be 16 years of age or over to buy them, but how can store owners tell these days when 14-year- old girls don't look 14 any more,"' says the chief The city's bylaw adopted in 1960 only allows the sale of fire works between May 9 and June 1 and any = storekeeper caught selling outside those dates is subject to a fine be- tween $10 to $300. But that law doesn't apply to some surrounding townships where passers-by can stop off and stock up, bring them here and "let them off," said Chief Hobbs, FOR CHILDREN Mayor Lyman Gifford says he might be "'old fasjoned" bee He recalls a time when he relished the idea of tossing fire crackers instead of watching them go off at an organized display. "] think if it was properly supervised it should be carried on, after all it is a form of celebration on May 24. But with the population getting bigger it is hard to supervise. I would hope," he said, "that retention of fireworks displays will be continued, I'm still the first one to go to them." Chief Hobbs says organized shows - require permits now and the eight he put his John Henry on last year represented a large reduction over stagings in previous years, He said he couldn't say how many neigh- borhood parks in the area de- cided to drop out of the fire- works game because of the attached danger, "but it was significant," Records at the Ontario Fire Marshal's office show firework? and February this year, with property damages amounting to $69,874. Eight persons were injured, The extent of destruction in that spread wasn't as heavy as in 1960 when $80,000 dam- age was done and 17 persons maimed in just 45 fires, The federation's submission was not entirely its own work, in fact it was based on a brief prepared by the National Fire Protection Association which was adopted by 30 states in the United States, two of them, New York and Michigan, bor- dering Ontario. The Niagara delegation revised wording to fit provincial specifications. The Ontario version of the American brief has gained endorsement "in principle" from more than 100 fire chiefs, 14 safety councils, the Niag- ara District Firefighters Asso- ciation, the Ontario Municipal Fire Prevention Officers Asso- ciation and a large number of scattered organizations,
