Chamber officials said that they had neither the financial nor human resources to hold the event which had been designed to replace the old County Town Car- nival. Instead, the chamber announced that it would be holding a one day "Jamboree" at Heydenshore on Sept. 9. Mayor Bob Attersley also announced that a cairn to honor the effort of the men and women who fought the secret war against Nazi Ger- many would be erected on a piece of town owned land just south of the new Liquor Board of On- tario warehouse. The project, the mayor said, had the complete support of Sir William Stephenson, the master spy known by his code name "In- trepid". Camp 'X', as the facility was known, was used to train over 500 agents who later parachuted into Nazi occupied Europe, providing valuable in- formation for the Allied cause.
