From Lake An early evening sail on Lake Ontario could have developed into a near-tragedy for two un- identified Oshawa men when their converted life boat was blown by an offshore wind into heavy seas about one mile off shore, at dusk Wednesday. Oshawa Marine Service own- ers, Charles Templer and Earl Sharp, noticed the sail boat in trouble in shallow water, when the sail boat made an awkward move. Mr. Templer trained his field glasses on the boat and noticed the only sail on the mo- torless boat was torn to shreds. The Marine Service partners sized up the situation and used their powered converted life- boat to attempt a rescue. About this time, an unidentified fisher- man ran down the beach to find a rescue.boat, as the men in the distressed craft had called for help when they were near shore. Mr. Templer said the rescue craft took quite a beating in the heavy swells. They intercepted the distressed craft about one mile off shore, due south of the radio tower, east of Oshawa The city-owned rescue launch has not been put into service yet.

John Dyer officially turned on the i Inew lights Wednesday night at the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club. The 18 lights. arranged in three rows across the two greens, leave no shadows to interfere with night games. Expressing the hope that the new lighting system would add incentive to the success of the club, Ald. Dyer, who was dep- utizing for Her Worship Mayor Christine Thomas, voiced the appreciation of the mayor and city council to the club for the part it is playing in cementing friendships in the community and the district. It was such social clubs as this, he com- mented, which make Oshawa a better place in which to live. Ald. Dyer recalled when the club was located near the Wil- liams Piano Co. plant and later when it had its greens at the corner of Simcoe and Alexandra streets, near the Oshawa Gen eral Hospital. While there were complaints that the players were too: noisy; patients in wheel- chairs often came to the green to watch the games. "I believe this club has on its membership roll the nucleus of the best citizens of Oshawa such Car Rolls On Embankment AJAX (Staff) -- An Ottawa motorist was injured on Wed- nesday morning when his small car veered off Highway 401 east of Ajax and careened down a steep embankment. Herbert Rowley, 58, of 2192 Quinn crescent, Ottawa, re- ceived body and facial lacera- tiens and was taken to the Osh- awa General Hospital. His car was a total wreck. Rowley, who was {travelling west on the highway narrowly missed a concrete abutment as his car went out of control. When the car came to rest at the foot of the embankment he was trapped for 30 minutes in the wreckage and eight men were required ot free him. BUDGET JUNE 6? OTTAWA (CP) -- The Citi- zen says the federal budget will be presented to the Commons June 6. Speculation about the budget date has been rife for weeks. f Lawn Bowlers Lights as no other club in the city. That is why I am proud to be a member of this club," said Ald. Dyer. Jack Hunter, president of the men's section, expressed the club's appreciation to George Read and his committee who were responsible for the plan- ning and installation of the new lights. Other members of the commit- tee were Dr. S. J. Phillips, Dr. A. W. Harding, Ron Snowden, George Constable, P. Canning, Jack Anderson, Jack Biddulph, Jack Piatti, Ewart Clemence and W. A, Dewland. Ald. Dyer was introduced by Mrs. Cecil Litster, president of the ladies' section of the club. Trailer Club Opens Season The newly-formed Oshawa Trailer Club, a group of camp- ing enthusiasts, chose Emily Provincial Park for their initial trip. Sixteen trailers and about 75 people from Oshawa, West Hill, Agincourt, Whitby and Port Perry gathered at the trailer {camp from Friday, May 19 to 122. Despite the cold, wet weather the president of the group, W: E. Kent, insisted that the mem- bers spent an enjoyable week- end and indicated that the group is planning further visits to many of the other Provincial Parks in Ontario this season. At Emily Park there is an ideal site for such groups as this, consisting of an open area which will accommodate 20 to 25 trailers in a huge circle or horseshoe shape. The attraction of a central bonfire around which evening activities are held is an added dividend. This trailer group fraternity shows every possibility of in- creasing in numbers. It is under- stood the Oshawa club recruited new members from Peterbor- ough during their stay at Emily Park. One of the express rules of this club is that members are re- sponsible for leaving their sites neat and tidy. We noted strict adherence to this self-imposed rule, and would like to commend / fe club members for their good housekeeping.
