Motorists are asked ta keep an extra alert lookout during this period ta make certain acci- dents are kept ta a minimum. LOCAL MENTION - Bowmanville received hon- orable mention in the* new book by Peter C. New- man on "The Diefenbaker Years". Mr. Diefenbak- er was a great admirer of Sir John A. Macdonald and surrounded himself with many items with which Canada's f irst Prime Minister had been connected. One such article was a medallion, pre- sented ta the late Frank Pethick of Bowmanville who had shaved the Prime Minister in Toronto. Frank was an apprentice barber at the time. Be- ing a staunch Conservative, Frank wiliingly gave up the medailion when he heard that Mr. Diefen- baker was interested in suchi items. Incîdentally, the book, whiie not too complimentary to Mr.. Diefenbaker, is a fascinating review of those his- torie years. Before Christmas, members of the O rono and District J-r. Gardeners Club will visit ail Senior Citizens in Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, and those at home in Orono ta deliver attractive Christmas decorations or decorated botties of preserves that they have made themselves. Some af the items are photo- graphed here, being held by club rnbers, front row, lef t ta right, Caroline Johnson, Susan Aslett, Carat Anne Caldwell; back row, Tove Jorgensen and Carol Gibson.
