The annual event was followed by a party for children who also raised money for UNICEF last night. Mike Volpe, part-owner of Pat and Mike's Fish and Chips store on Hortop Street, gave children a pleasant surprise when he "shelled-out" candy flos cones and candied apples.

But, the owners of the build- ings at 300 High St., and 800 Brock St. N., today deniéd the charges. The special council meeting was, arranged following criti- cism of the two situations at regular town council meeting Monday night. Fire Chief War- ren Mowat and health inspector John Robson presented reports at last night's meeting. "Baloney," said 300 High St. owner K. Siegfried Sange when he was advised today that On- tario County MOH Dr. Hoffman charged that the situation re- sulted from poor caretaking and absentee landlords. Fire chief Mowat read his re- port on his findings following a fire at the Hollywood Motel at the meeting. It was Stated al the Monday meeting a family of seven was living at the motel for a time without heat. Chief Mowat said the oil burn- er at the 800 Brock St. N. motel had apparently been installed by an amateur, all control covers were missing, the auto- matic furnace controls were not working, the cojd air return cover was missing, the fur- nace room was filled with such items as paint cans, ftele- visions, mattresses and bed springs. There was no vent on the furnace room and no fire door between the furnace room and a rented apartment. Charles Ingwer, who owns the motel through a company called Interalia Co.
