family page Brooklin Bylines Well, the sun shone down and the crowds turned up for another successful Brooklin Spring Fair. If you weren't there you missed a really great day. The parade started, as.advertised, at 10 a.m. And the one remark heard thro' out the day was "it was the biggest and best parade in years!" Well done, Group 74 - the group of ladies who organized it. Or as Mr. Walter Beath, who opened the Fair, put it ......"who engineered it." The judges must have had a hard time deciding on the winning floats, as all showed that a great deal of tirne and effort had been spent on them. But they finally chose the floats of the Durham Trail Riders, the local Scouts & Cubs, and the Whitby Jaycees as the winners in the non-commercial category. The local antique dealers float won the ribbons in the commercial category. The Fair itself had plenty to offer to both inside and outside the Arena. One of the big attractions was the horse drawing contest. Twelve teams competed for the Hobson Trophy, with the horses of Victor Cox of Midland taking the prize - by pulling over 9,000 lbs. Those horses are really something. There were three categories in the log sawing contest, and the results showed some local people as the winners - 16 years and over - John Forbes and Vince Myette; 12 to 15 years - Laurie and Kim Litner (sisters); 9 to 12 years - Geoff Lovelock and Michael Johnson. If you still had plenty of energy left in the evening, and if your feet could still take the strain, then you probably ended up at the dance in the Arena. There were over 200 people who still felt fresh enough to take their partners for square dancing, round dancing and rock and roll. The music was provided by Orval Sellick, and the evening was so successful that many people were ask- ing for another dance to be held before too long. Con- gratulations to the Fair Board! The dance organized by Level IV the night before was also successful, and the organizers there were also asked to try and arrange another semi-formal evening before too long. Here's some news for those who enjoy watching the T.V. I hear the Pine Ridge Cable Co. are hoping to bring cable T.V. to our area in the Fall - probably in October. They are just waiting for the final decision from C.R.T.C. It will be on the hook up basis - they couldn't quote a figure as regards to the cost as that, too, is to be finalized. But they do hope to have more information later this month. Ashburn Community Centre is the place to be this Friday, June. 7th, between 5 p.m. and 7:30. The ladies there are holding a Bazaar which promises to have sorme- thing for everyone. There's to be a Bake table, a White Elephant table, and a Plant table. Not only may you pick up a bargain, but it's good to know that all the proceeds are going to repair the roof of the Centre. It's great to see a group doing something to help themselves, instead of waiting for a handout. That's community spirit - let's join in and support them. There's no admission charge, just come early and get what you want. I'd like to see a little more community spirit from some Words from West Lynde by Norm Mealing FAMILY FUN DAY I had the opportunity to see the advance program for the Family Fun Day to be held on June 16th and it looks like a big day. Central Park is the location, and weather permitting, the festivities begin at 2:00 p.m. The three-legged race is the first event of the day and it will feature one adult and one child from each family. It will be followed by the wheelbarrow race which is another family event. The 50 and 100 yard dashes corne next, with the 50 having two categories 5 and 6 years of age, and 7 and 8 years of age. The 100 yard dash will pit 9 and 10 year olds in one category, and 11 and 12 years in another. The races will be followed by the baseball and football throwing contests. Ages 3 to 8 will compete in the base- ball throw and ages 9 to 12 in the football throw. While the throwing contests are being run, there will be a skip- ping competition for the girls, and a kiteflying contes.t for the boys. All of these events are expected to be over by 4:00 p.m., and then the fathers vs. sons soccer match, and mothers vs. daughters volleyball games will be held. These two events will conclude by 4:30 p.m. and the bicycle decorating contest will begin. The organizers of the day are emphasizing the family participation aspect. Everyone who enters an event earns participation points.

I didn't think I'd see the day that I'd have to warn my children to watch where they are walking. But on Baldwin St. last week, that is exactly what I had to do. For there on the sidewalk was a very large and very obnoxious "object" - left no doubt by someone's delightful pet. I don't blame the dog, but I do blame the owner. I don't own a dog at the moment as I don't have the time to take care of one. So why should 1, and others like me, have to put up with other people's animals fouling the sidewalks and also our gardens? The latter is for my pleasure - which does not include cleaning up after other people's animals. So corne on, dog owners, enjoy your pet but keep it on your own property and under proper control when off it. Don't forget the number - 655-3750. I hope l'Il be talking to some more of you before too long. LIZ. LIZ. third place prizes, participation points will be awarded. At the end of the day, the family awards will be given, and they will be one-day family passes to either the new Zoo, or Ontario Place, or the Science Centre. In order for the day to be a-success, however, much help is needed. 25 people are needed to run the various games. The park will have to be cleaned up, and vol- unteers are needed to help with that chore. Hot dogs and cokes will be on sale, and volunteers are needed to cook, and to sell. Participation points will be awarded for these activities as well. Family Fun Day is a major activity sponsored by the West Lynde Community Association. It should be a great day so why not pitch in and help. Come on, get involved, try it, you'll like it. MORE ON DOG DIRT I am happy to report that the dog dirt column seems to have had a positive effect. Even the St. Bernard is on a leash. So I guess you could call a minor victory for the lawnss and shrubs. PAVING For those of us in the Northdown Homes, wbrd has it that the road paving contract-has been awarded. Maybe the dust and dirt of unpaved roads will soon be no more. HURRAH! Tried the new chickep place in the Plaza (Lynde Valley Take-Out) the other night. Colonel Sanders better watch out. The food is good, the service is pleasant, and the waiting is short. Give it a try.

Cut each "sand- wich" in half or in quarters. Wrap well with plastic wrap and keep wrapped until serving time. Makes 6 club-style sand- wiches. Each double-decker uses three slices of Holland Edam and two slices of lean meat collectively adding up to 4 ounces. This high protein sand- wich has approximately 310 calories. Allow another 10 to 15 calories for the dill pickle and radish garnish plus a few carrot sticks. Add a rye wafer worth 25 calories. Fruit for dessert, like an orange or an apple adds 70. So this lunch supplies about 415 calories. Not bad for a tasty, healthful meal that is easy to manage and has staying power.
