2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 3,1991 Section Two New Directors Set Goals for Lions Club By The Editor Recently, because of staff holidays, we were called upon to fill a news assignment, assignment, involving taking a photo of the new officers of the Bowmanville Lions and Lioness Clubs. We arrived at the time designated by someone and discovered we were somewhat somewhat early - the outgoing club president, Les Virtue, was about to wind up his term with a well-prepared, extensive recollection of the club's many achievements during the year, featuring increased membership, help for the blind, drug awareness awareness for teen agers, diabetes and the Life Line project extension. extension. Frankly, it was a revelation revelation how much had been accomplished accomplished by the various club committees, under his leadership. It was pointed out that Lions International has launched a two-year program to raise $100 million million to help the blind and the Bowmanville club is att- tempting to raise $100,000 as their portion. A lengthy list of donations donations was also mentioned, including the amazing fact that the local club has disposed disposed of $169,000 this year in their various programs. That's quite a feat for a club that has 67 members and is about to add another seven. It was an interesting item that nearly half of the present members have head- . ed the club as presidents. Retiring President Les concluded his round up by presenting an assortment of plaques, pins and awards to individual members who had made special contributions contributions to the club's programs. As one might expect, these awards brought forth quite a few caustic comments from other members - which is normal at most service clubs so those honored don't get swelled heads and get to think they've done something something out of the ordinary. Past President Les wrapped it up by welcoming his successor, Elmer Banting, Banting, a former member of the club who recently returned to town and obviously was intent on launching his year in office with a gigantic bang - his single spaced inaugural ad- four pages and was entitled "The Year of Challenge." Apparently, his new board of directors has already already met and discussed several changes, starting' with a confidential questionnaire questionnaire looking for new ideas, to be filled out by each member and returned in a self-addressed envelope to the president. A new committee named "Fun, Talent and Visitation" has been established to make sure eveiy meeting is filled with new ideas for fun, so members will not want to miss out on attending. More visitations to other clubs are in the works, at least 10 of them a year. And interclub talent shows will also be set up, so the multitalented multitalented local members will have an opportunity of meeting meeting a challenge in competi- ton with others. There were other challenges challenges as well, all in the interests interests of making the club more appealing to new, younger members. This, along with perpetuating the other ■ projects established last year, should keep the members of Bowmanville Lions Lions in the forefront of Lion- ism for yet another year. We' shall endeavour to report on their successes as we have in the past. typewritten dress filled THE CANTON MILL Professional Shared Office Space Fax, Photocopier, Secretary/Receptionist Available August 1st, 1991 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CALL 416-753-2365 W On Monday, June 24th, the recently elected executive executive members for the coming year of Bowmanville Lions Lions Club were installed in,office.

Although we will not be witnessing the total eclipse and some may not notice the eclipse at all, caution must still be advised when eclipse watching. During a recent eclipse in the US, according to the American Optométrie Association, 145 cases of eye injury were reported. Forty percent of these injuries were caused by people mistakenly mistakenly believing they were taking adequate measures to protect their eyes. The other sixty percent took no precautions at all. The common common misconception that sunglasses, sunglasses, exposed film, most welders goggles, photographic photographic filters and smoked glass are adequate eye protection protection should be corrected. We suggest those interested interested in viewing this or any other eclipse participate in eclipse watches, organized by astronomy clubs, planétariums planétariums or museums. These groups can provide the viewer viewer with clear images of the event through specially fil- . tcred telescopes, in safe settings, settings, under the guidance of trained astronomers. The next best way to view this or any other eclipse is to view it indirectly, indirectly, using a "pinhole projector" projector" or "sunscope" made of aluminum foil, white paper and a large cardboard carton. carton. Although this basic design design dates back to the 1500's it offers protection while enabling the viewer to see the eclipse. The image of the eclipse passing through n pinhole in one end of the box is projected onto the pnper screen on the other end, allowing allowing the viewer to see a small image of the eclipse while remaining with eyes directed safely away from it, Caution should bo taken to ensure that the viewer looks at the projected image and not through the pinhole directly directly at the sun. The sides of the devise offer additional protection from the sun's rays and if the user pokes the hole in an upper corner, it is more difficult to turn one's head around and look through it.
