Pat, now 65, was a Dr. Barnardo home boy who came to Canada many years ago. He had no knowledge of his family background but for some reason believed he had been born in Ireland. Recently, one of his friends, OPP Constable Francis Dryden wvrote to the home to obtain information on Pat's age, for pension purposes. This apparently started a chain reaction that culminated in a tearful meunion on Mon- lay when his two older brothers, Charles and Victor PIECESToday's Yoi Parents fMot bWvin G (uidance- Anniversary Preacher Claims 'd DISPUTE -- A dispute between the Orono Park- 0 -Board and the village Police Trustees over a water te 1- bill last week brought a motion, passed unanimously ýd by the Park Board to close the pool and park until d the differences were ironed out. It is hoped that by this time the two bodies have come to some under- tstanding, so these fine facilities will be available -this summer. t . t t ANNIVERSARY - Congratulations were ex- tended recently by General Motors to one of their long term dealers, Roy W. Nichols of Courtice, who celebrated his 35th anniversary in business. He received 35 beautiful yellow 'mums from the company. Incidentally, Mr. Nichols reports that the month of May was the biggest month for sales they have had in their 35 years. t t t t t- MEETINGS- Two major meetings were held Tuesday by the Progressive-Conservatives and the New Democrats. In Cobourg, former Agriculture Minister Alvin Hamilton was the guest speaker at an informal meeting in the Pavillon where a large crowd also met candidate John Pratt. At Hampton, the NDP candidate Wilmer Hill was busy shaking hands. There were speeches that will have to be reported next week. Liberal candidate Russ Honey was in Bowmanville yesterday and there was con- siderable action around the committee ooms, but no large meeting. t t t CENTENNIAL - This Sunday, former residents from far and near will return to Tyrone Church for their Centennial Anniversary service that starts at 2:30 p.m. It will be followed by a re- ception that should be quite an enjoyable reunion. t t t t t OPENINGS - Saturda.y noon, members and invited guests will be present for the official opening of the Legion Branch's addition to the Queen Street Hall. Later, in the afiernoon many of those attend- ing the Legion function will also be taking part in the opening of the town's new building on Church Street at 4 o'clock. t t t t t NO LIGHTS - Considerable confusion has been in evidence this week at the corner of King and Liberty Streets where the stop lights have been removed during road repairs. Stop signs have been installed at aIl four corners and police have been on duty to keep traffic moving. t t t t t COMPLAINTS - Several United States subscribers have sent in complaints about their papers not being received within a reasonable length of time. We would like to assure them that we mail the States- mnan froni this office every Wednesday evening. What happens after they leave here is up to the Canadian and American postal people and there isn 't much we can do about it, except complain. t t t t t STRIKE - The local Goodyear strike has now entcred its second montb with no apparent sign of any action that might bring a settiement in the near future. There have been no press releas- es from either the union or the company. Pickets are stili on duty at the'plant. t t t t t AUCTION - This area's Steve Liptay who ecently broke into the auctioneering ranks was one of the men who took part in the auction ai Markham recently to raise funds for the new Family Life Centre. He sold one of Prime Minister Trudeau'a ties for $155 and an empty box donated by Oppo- sition leader Stanfield for $165, plus other items. tt i -t t t ELECTORS - Citizens who are entitled ta vote v in town, should make certain their names are on 0 the voters list.

Their mother had written themi in 1932 with the information that they' had a third brother Pat and they have been searching for hlm, ever since. The three brothers Charles, Victor and Pat are pictured here, with Victor holding a photo of their mother. By an odd coincidence, Charlie was in this area during the war as a member of the Veterans' Guard, delivering prisoners of war to the camp here, but at that time Pat was in Toronto. They were born in Colchester, England, flot Ireland. wth are 'Not Ail Wrong' '"The majority of youth ta. day rebel agaiinst rules they are expected to abide by, be- ncause they see thefr parents ~and ather adults igrnoring Àthese maine miles.
