Top Team at Pine Ridge Horse Show Volume 122 20c Per Copy BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1976 Great anadian Race En tries Go Through Town on Weekend Ready or not, the Great' Canadian Race will arrive in the Bowmanville area this coming Saturday and Sunday. Local spectators should ex- pect a cross section of contestants in the Toronto to 1iontreal race which begins at the C.N.E. grounds in the morning and arrives in Bôw- manville through that day and possibly the next. The participants will arrive over land, sea, and air in a wide range of travelling styles. Some people may want to look twice when they see the first hot air balloon drop out of the sky and land in the Bowmanville area. Hopefully, traffic along Highway 2 will not find the contestants too distracting, although a person on a pogo stick usually does draw some attention. The Great Canadian Race Corporation has organized the eight day, 320 mile event which is expected to arrive at the site of Man and His World on June 26. Four charities sharing the money raised from the $10 entry fee are The Canadian Red Cross, The Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada, Canadian Save the Children Fund and the Olym- pic Trust of Canada.

Courtice Entries Rev Up for The Great Canadian Race Public Health Nurses: Skill and determination helped Elaine Thompson and her horse "What's His Face" win the high point trophy at the charity horse show held at Pine Ridge School on Saturday. In the photo, the show's top horse and rider are rounding the bend toward victory in the Open Barrel Race,,one of 15 classes in the program. Though admission was free, over $200 was donated to the organizers who will pass the funds along to the senior citizens at Sunset Lodge. Pruning Christmas Trees, PruniniW COr WM Worr Pscking, Just Two of *ummer Jobs Available As the temperature rises in the Region of Durham, so does the pressure on students who are looking for elusive sum- mer jobs. But, according to Colleen Hare, Student Co-ordinator of the Canada Manpower Centre in Oshawa, there are jobs to be found if the students are persistent enough. "There's no doubt that the job market is tight this summer," Colleen said, "but if sttidents accept the fact that there are fewer full-time positions and are willing to take short term jobs, then their chances are better." Why not try worm picking? Colleen said that the going rate for bait pullers is $11.00 per thousand, and she's heard of some students who have earned as much as $40 a night when they've tackled the job with zest. BIG WEEKEND AT MOsPORT Everything is shaping up for a great weekend of rac- ing and fun at Mosport Park during the Labatt's Blue 500 and other races. To date, 38 entries have been received for the big race, including Canada's Eppie Wietzes in a T400M equipped with a new engine, Horst Kroll and former Canadian John Cannon. Many side attract- ions have been arranged to entîeI-tain .Ïke camipers. Or, if you're interested in matching up lovelorn young couples, then you may fit the bill as the manager of a dating service in Oshawa. Another 12 students from this area will earn some spending money by planting and pruning Christmas trees in Pontypool during the com- ing weeks. Further information about these and many other jobs can be obtained by dropping in at the new Student Manpower branch in the fùvet of ~Bow- manville High School which opens on Tuesday, June 16th. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. both Tuesday and Thursday morn- ings with student placement officer Gloria Murrant in charge.

During the three day sale, merchants will be offering bargains to make a shopping spree at the stores worthwhile, plus entertain- ment features. While attention focuses on the glamorous international stars racing in Mosport's Labatt's Blue 5000 Weekend, June 18, 19 and 20; Canadian drivers in the Bulova Champ- ionship supporting events will probably put on the closest racing show with the narrow- est victory margin of the weekend. Canada's farm-system for up and coming racing drivers, the Bulova Championship, features two categories; open- wheeled Formula 100 racing cars and 2.5 litre sedans. Because the Bulova Champ- ionship cars are not as fast as the brute-force 180 m.p.h. Formula 5000 cars, a greater margin of safety is availabie, A Str ike To End Al Strikes??,ý 60 public health nurses in the Region of Durham joined over 1,000 of their provincial colleagues on the picket line this week to demand com- pulsory arbitration to end strikes and lockouts. In other words, they're staging a strike to end all strikes for their union. In Bowmanville yesterday, 15 members of Local 57 of the Ontario Nurses' Association demonstrated outside of the Durham Health Unit on Lam- bert Street. Their picketing signs carried a wide range of messages including one which asked "Why Wait? Arbitrate," and another which simply stated "Strikes Hurt My Feet. Stamp Them Out." Today, public health nurses from - across Ontario are joining forces at Queen's Park to urge the provincial govern- ment to end their dispute with (Turn to Page Two) e HU Damage to a house on Courtice Rd. North was esti- mated at between six and seven thousand dollars after it was struck by lightning around midnight Sunday. Fire Chief Jim Hayman said -most of the damnage oceurred- just under the roof of a dwelling belonging to Nicholas Biffer, of R.R. 3, Bow'man- ville. He said repairs to the three-year-old building would involve replacing seven or eight burned rafters. Chief Hayman said Mr. Biffer and his wife were in the house when the lightning struck. Although they' were frightened, they were not injured. According to the fire cliief, the ghi entered the house by way of the electrical system, taking out several wall plugs and a door bell. No other lightning fires were reported as a result of Sunday's storm. With the encouragement of Leo Haunsberger, Great Canadian Racer Garth Gilpin gets set for the start of the big event on Saturday. Actually, Garth won't be towing the glider from Toronto to Montreal as the photo suggest, because he'll be joining the race in Pickering while Leo takes off from Ontario Place. Both racers will be sponsored, with Leo's funds going to assist student activities at Courtice Secondary and Garth's being forwarded to the James Speers Scholarship Fund. Thousands of entrants are expected to take part in the race; watch for Garth triking down Highway 2 and Leo skimming the rooftops of Bowmanville.

LIBERAL BREAKFAST - Northumberland- Durham Liberals are planning a breakfast party at the Greenwood Towers in Port Hope this Sunday at 10 a.m. when Hon. Hugh Faulkner, Secretary of State will be the honor- ed guest. Tickets will be available at the door or from executive members. LEST WE FORGET - Just a gentle reminder to all and sundry that Sunday is a mighty important day. Why, you ask? Because it's Father's Day when the alleged head of the house is to be honored for his many sacrifices, his intense interest in and tireless pursuit of enough dollars to keep a roof over head and food on the table. May all others bow down before him, showering gifts and showing other indications of their great love to him. Praise be to Father! BUSY WEEKEND - Sounds as though there is a busy weekend ahead for those looking for something to do. The Kinsmen Beauty Contest starts with a parade at 5:30 on Friday.

OnIy Inward Development For Three Local HumJe lts Not everyone at last Thurs- day evening's hamlet discus- sion in the Tyrone Community Centre agreed with regional planners or engineering studies. In a discussion of hamlet policy for the upcoming offi- cial plan of the Durham region, some of the 45 people at the meeting last week disagreed with recommenda- tions that the hamlets of Enniskillen, Tyrone, and Hay- don be designated for "in- filling." Infilling means that large scale development such as a large subdivision wouldn't take place in a hamlet, although building could be done on places such as vacant land between existing homes. Bernard ieming, a Tyrone resident, said Thursday even- ing that he would rather see Tyrone designated as a village for growth rather than in- filling. He said he would like to see another 150 dwellings within the community in the next 15 to 20 years and he noted that such growth could add more life to the village. He noted that the hamlet cannot support a garage or a post office at the moment. Proposals similar to those of Mr. Heming came from Mur- ray Marchant, a land owner in the Tyrone area. Mr. Mar- chant recommended that the hamlet of Tyrone grow half a mile in every direction except westward, towards the mill pond and a ravine.

He is the Deputy High Commissioner of India to Canada, the Honorable Kamal N. Bakshi. The oc- casion marks the formal launching of the Bowman- ville Rotary Club's scholar- ship program to aid students and develop educational facilities in India. M.P. Allan Lawrence will also be on hand for the meeting. One of the Buyers at Kiwanis Auction On Saturday afternoon at Central Public School, one of the best customers for the articles being auctioned by the Kiwanis Club was Clarence Tinline of Bowmanville, a well known collector of clocks and other memorabilia. Here, he is handing over some cash to Kiwanian Bruce Colwell while the stack of articles around him continues to grow. Now, we understand from his relatives, the biggest problem is to find a place to store the items until repairs can be made and a market found. so drivers can and do race closer together, as many as a dozen running nose to tailpipe in what amounts to a dogfight for the lead. Although slower than the F5000 cars, at 140 m.p.h. speeds the Bulova Champion- ship competitors don't really hang around. (Tumn to Page Two) Scrap Pipe Transformed Into Playground Equipment As a result of a project at Bowmanville High School this year, the students at Salem Public School are having more fun at recess these days. Under the direction of welding teacher John Buchan, students Lester Bergsma and John Hogarth constructed two pieces of climbing equipment out of scrap pipe at an inflation beating price of less than $100. In the photo, several Salem students try out the new equipment while the hard working welders and their teacher watch from the rear. c~t4te~m~n 28 Pages Nimher 24 Competitîon Wil!Be Keen At Mosport Thîis Weekend
