The depu- tation consisting of Pat McManus, Mary Warren and Margaret Olley, said they would like to hold their oneâ€"day Sum- mer Craft Festival in Newboro on Sat- urday, August lst, and were at the‘ Council meeting to request the support (non-financial) of the Council. About 25 exhibitors are expected to set up display stands or tables in the vil- lage. There may be a display of fire- works as a finale in the evening. Council, by motion, supported the festival. Previous craft festivals have been held at various locations in the area, and all have attracted a good number of visitors. What is needed now is the support of the residents of Newboro. Residents may be asked for permission to use the front yard, driveway, etc. for a display stand. The festival attracts viewers from all around, and could be a rehearsal for the 2 week celebration in August, 1982 to commemmorate the Rideau Canal's 150th year of operation. FUND RAISING WALKATHON The Rideau Canal 150th Anniversary Committee is planning a Walkathon to raise funds to support the celebrations. The walk will be from Lakeland School near Salem, through Westport to New- boro Ball Park on Saturday, May 2,1981. Newboro will be represented by Reta Taylor, Jack Murphy, Doug Burtch, June and Henry Boston and John Brus. The entire North Crosby Council will take part as will Bill and Marlene Thake and others from Westport. This method of fund~raising was chosen rather than requesting each of the municipalities for donations. The distance is 10 miles. You are asked to select'the walker of your choice and sponsor him or her with a pledge. The first 2 weeks of August, 1982 will see a hive of activities in this area. With special displays by Parks Canada on the Canal, possibly the RCMP Music- al Ride, perhaps a water carnival and much more. Theme flower for the festi- vities is the sunflower.

SEARLE HOYlEl " BUS. l ' Newboro council received a letter from the Ministry of Natural Re- sources stating that the fox and wolf bounty would no longer be paid in Leeds County. Other adjacent counties had ceased to pay the bounty some time ago, and it became obvious that the boun- ties being paid in Leeds were for animals being toted in from elsewhere. Clerk Reta Taylor announced that a booklet entitled 'Newboro Village - A Walking Tour‘ has been prepared, and is ready for distribution. The booklet was compiled under the sponsorship of the Rideau Lakes Union Library Board with funding provided by a Young Can- ada Works Grant. Cost to the village for printing was $250. The booklet will be sold for $l each. They should be available at the Post Office, Mac- Donald's Grocery and the Clerk's of- fice. Well written and very interest- ing, the booklet forms a useful adjunct to The Isthmus, prepared by Newboro Centennial Committee in 1967. The Central Rideau District Trappers Council will be holding a meeting in Newboro Courthouse on Sat., May 2nd at 2 p.m. Questions put to the Minis- try of Natural Resources will be anâ€" swered. The interested public is invi- ted to attend. Although letters were sent to 7 area elementary schools inviting them to enter the minor ball tournament, only two have replied. Reta Taylor stated that a reply had not been received to her letter re- questing the LLBO to consider re- establishing a liguor outlet in New- boro. A letter is to be sent to our new MPP, Mr. Runciman,requesting his assistance. It should be noted that the Village of Newboro iskone of the few villages straddling the Canal be- tween Kingston and Smiths Falls. It is considered by Council that an out- let here is highly desireable. ARE YOU WONDERING WHERE TO \TREAT YOUR MOTHER THIS MOTHER'S DAY?
