Free Press Staff Photo From page one Support events such as Bowl for Millions. The agency's board of directors and staff are working to revise the budget and cut costs and the United Way has come to the rescue with some in- terim funding but if Big Brothers are to resolve their financial dif- ficulties the Bowl for Millions campaign must be a success, said Mr. DeGuerre. Organizers are asking everyone to get out and pick up a sponsor sheet and challenge someone else - a team or in- dividual - to a game at a participating bowling house. Bowlers will then enlist sponsors to con- tribute money for each point they rack up on the scoresheet. bowl for millions Sponsor sheets are available at Motor City, Oshawa Lanes, Leisure Lanes and Whitby Coun- ty Bowl as well as at the Big Brothers office, 44 William St. W. in Oshawa. Some of the highlights of the week-long - cam- paign which begins Feb. 1 will be the kick-off day at Motor City beginning at 2 p.m., and the celebrity day which begins at 4 p.m on Saturday, Feb. 8 at Oshawa Lanes in the Oshawa Centre. A num- ber of events are plan- ned for the celebrity day including the Mayors and council members bowling Scotch Doubles, a Celebrity Challenge and, the big event of the day, members of the Oshawa Generals bowling as team cap- tains with kids and young adult bowlers in the Generals' Challenge. Mr. DeGuerre said probably one third of an estimated 100 matches to be played during the course of the week will be played here in Whit- by. "We really appreciate the support we get from the public and we'd like to have the support of everyone for this year's Bowl for Millions. "The whole idea of Big Brothers is to take a fatherless boy and make him feel wanted and welcome like he's got a dad around the house. It's a very worthwhile cause," said Mr. DeGuerre. New school coming soon A new elementary school in the Pringle Creek area may be five months closer to com- pletion. Whitby trustee Ian Brown said because the board of education had appointed the architect for the school before waiting for approval from the ministry to build, the board had saved time. By the time that ap- proval comes through (the board hopes to get approval in May) working drawings will be ready and construc- tion could begin, he said. "If all goes well, we hope for opening in Sep- tember of 1987." In the past the board has waited for approval, which never came down until May, before ap- pointing an architect. This delayed everything by four or five months, which meant schools of- ten opened inconvenien- tly in mid-year, he said. At the Monday night meeting the board ap- pointed Millet Salter, from Barrie, architect for the new school to be built on Ribblesdale Dr. NEWEST FASHIONI EXPANDEDDICUT PO VINYL yOn AJAX OSHAWA5SCARBOR 1313 Harwood N. 140 Slmcoe St. S. 793 Markham Rd.
