16 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville May 25, 1977 BETHANY A group of dedicated men (the Gideons) visit the sur- rounding area churches at least once a year. On Sunday, St. Paul's Anglican Church was favored by having Dr. Ray, a chiropractor from Peterborough and Mr. Jim Bracken, with Rev. Chatter- ton, take the service. Dr. Ray took Psalm 19 as his text, and told how the Gideons acquaint people with the scriptures by placing Bibles in the schools, in motels and in hotels, and many folk in a depressed, lonley state have been helped as a result of reading quota- tations from the scriptures. St. Paul's A.C.W. The St. Paul's A.C.W. had a luncheon meeting at the home of Mrs. Belle Smith. The opening exercises were conducted by Mrs. Loraine Smith and used "Claiming the Victory" as her theme. She said, "Easter is over. The victory has been won. We are God's own-redeemed, paid for, set free from the chains that have bound us. We have the power to defeat the evil forces around us. We are call- ed to believe and obey and go forth to bring salvation to a waiting world". Rev. Chatter- ton closed the worship portion with prayer. The ladies welcomed the president, Mrs. Rene Smelt, home from her five week vacation in England. Final plans were made for the garden party at Mrs. Loraine Smith's on June 20, when surrounding A.C.W.'s and U.C.W's are meeting for afternoon tea. Pakestan em- broidery will be displayed. Some of the members show- ed interest in attending the Bible Teaching Conference at St. John's, Ida on June 3rd and 4th. Rev. Don Peel will be the leader. Items of interest during June at the Grandview school are: the grade four's field trip, then the school track and field meet always brings out a competitive spirit among the students in the athletic field. The junior play day for grades 4 to 6 is on June 20th, and primary play day is scheduled for the next day. More intense competition is when the-.th- letes go to I. E. Weldon for the County Track and Field Meet on June 22nd. The final programs for the year is the Graduation program and dance and then the Awards Day, when trophies are pre- sented for work "well done". As "Bill Smiley" says, "This is a time of year when a lot of school teachers get a sinking feelinig". However, I'm sure, teachers and pupils alike have completed this year with great expectations, realizing each has done his or her best. Golden Stars' Trip The Golden Star Senior Citizens combned a meeting with the final bowling pro- gram. The bus is full for the trip to C.F.T.O. on May 26 to see the taping of Grand Old Country. It will leave Cavan at 3:30, pick up at Bethany, on to Highway 35 for the Ballyduff people, then through Bowman- ville for Mr. and Mrs. McKel- lar, who continue as active members of the Bethany group. Supper will be at the Parkway Restaurant before going to Channel 9. The committee asked for volunteers for the float for the parade. Senior Citizens' week is from June 19 to 25 and since the Peterborough group has invited surrounding senior citizens to a picnic at Beaver- meade Park, the Bethany group has decided to attend. Applications were made available for senior citizens interested in the Orono senior citizen apartments that are being built, but the group felt they should be more concern- ed with the Victoria County homes. Mrs. Edgar Beer offered the loan of a wheel chair and walker to anyone in need of them. The group decided to attend the United Church supper on June 3rd instead of having the regular meeting scheduled for June lst. All memebers will meet at the Parish Hall, at 4:30 p.m. which will enable them to assemble at the United Church at five. Some interesting shows are appearing during July and August at the O'Keefe Centre. Mr. Pete Borrow was going to contact the Oshawa bowling league, as they had proposed a tournament between the Gold- en Stars and the Oshawa Senior Citizens some time during June. The meeting was then turned over to the bowling president, Mrs. Marion Fish- er, for the presentation of the trophies. Ladies' high single was won by Florrie Driver, with a score of 231, and donated and presented by Belle Smith. Men's high single, donated by Jean Argue, went to Charlie Smith with a score of 195 and presented by Tom McKellar. Ladies' high average, a score of 156, donated by Pete Rowett and presented by Alma Pudsey went to Jessie Ellicott. Men's high average was won by Tom McKellar and donated and presented by Frank White. The oldest lady bowler trophy donated by Ruby Lyman and presented by Pete Borrow was won by Irene McDonald. A new trophy bought through the courtesy of New Horizon funds was for the oldest man bowling this year and won by Wm Jordan. The team, who won the playoff game won the Man- vers Township trophy and was presented by the reeve, George Neals. The team consisted of: Tom McKellar, Bill Jordon, Florence McPher- son, Lucy Borrow, Alvin Mitchell, Irene MacDonald and Lillian Fallis. The consolation trophy do- nated by Mr. and Mrs. Borrow was won by: Pete Borrow, Alice Mantle, Alma Pudsey, Viola Clark, Rhea Jordan and Leonard Driver. The team that won the most games during the year won the president's trophy. They were Marion Fisher, Charles Smith, Mildred Bristow, Mil- dred Britton, Dorena Clark and Belle Smith. The nominating committee brought in the following elect- ed officers: President - Tom McKellar, Treasurer - Charles Smith, Secretary - Pete Bor- row and score sheet reporter - Mrs. Irene MacDonald. Eleven tables of euchre was then played. Winning lady was Edith McKellar. Winning man's card was Ruth Tray- nor, low lady was Iva Port- eous and low man was Bill Armitage. A delicious supper was then enjoyed by the bowlers and a few other members at the Bon Fire. Mrs. Ruby McMahon of Preston, visited for a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Wes McMahon. As Press and Publicity convener for th Peterborough Presbyterial U.C.W., Mrs. W. McMahon attended the Bay of Quinte Press Workshop at Otonabee College, Trent Uni- versity, Peterborough, on May 16th. The purpose of the workshop was to provide assistance to Presbytery and Conference Communications Conveners in preparing new releases for publication in local newspa- pers. Organized by Rev. Wayne Wright of Coe Hill, the workshop was most fortunate to have as its resource person, Mr. Larry Perks of Toronto. Mr. Perks has been a journa- list for 25 years, and for the past five years has taught journalism at Ryerson Poly- technical Institute. Assisting in conducting the workshop was Mr. Norman Vale, Director of News Ser- vices for the United Church of Canada since 1960. His respon- sibility to the church has focused on serving the News Media and helping Presbytery and Conference Communica- tion Conveners. During the afternoon ses- sion, Mr. Ronald Cade, editor of th Peterborough Examiner, was also present to outline what his staff "looks for" in releases submittedto them for publication. As a practical exercise to follow up the Workshop, each person attending was assigned to "cover" one or more events of the Bay of Quinte United Conference annual session, also being held at Otonabee College on May 17, 18 and 19th. These "write-ups" were sub- mitted to Mr. Perks for criticism, constructive or otherwise! ! Mr. and Mrs. Frank White enjoyed a few days in Trenton visiting Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sandercock and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald St. Kilare. Mr. and Mrs. Haig Bothwell and granddaughter, Tracy of Peterborough, visited the White's on Mother's Day.

Build a New Lawn Right The key to a weed-free "putting green" lawn is to obtain a dense, healthy turf before seeding. Factors such as the kinds of weeds found on the area, drainage, soil type, soiu nutrients, sunlight and plan- ned lawn use influence the growth of new lawns, says C.G. Waywell, Department of Horticultural Science, Ontario Agricultural College. Home gardeners can use a mixture of herbicides such as paraquat and diquat to control both broadleaf and grass- family weeds. Both herbicides are absorbed through the [eaves, with little effect through the soil. Professor Waywell suggest cultivating only after the wveeds begin to die. Grading the lawn to provide surface drainage is the next step. A soil sample should then be taken and tested for acidity. This will determine the need for fertilizers. The Depart- ment of Land Resource Science at the University of Guelph, provides this service to home gardeners for $L00 per sample. When the turf is ready to be seeded, select a kind of grass that will adapt to the location. Bent grasses provide a country club finish to lawns, but require more care than other types. Kentucky Blue grass is suitable for sunny sites, and Creeping Red Fescue suits shady or busy areas. Mowing height is important n preserving a healthy lawn. Lawnmowers should be set at 12 to 2 inches so sufficient eaf surface will remain to provide for the plant's needs. Camera Lens Worth $27,000 Being Displayed in Oshawa If you're a photography buff with $27,000 to spare, Hall- mark Photo in Oshawa has the lens for you. Built by Karl Zeiss, the world's foremost lens manu- facturer, the lens.is a 100 mm mirror telephoto, equipped with a Yashica Contax mount. Pat Mothersill of Hallmark says that the lens is being demonstrated by Ken Smith of Yashica Contax, the distribut- ing firm for Zeiss, on Friday, May 27 and Saturday, May 28. Other interesting items con- cerning this amazing lens are that it is the fastest 1000mm lens in the world at f5.6 and the most expensive one, manu- factured for SLR cameras on an assembly line basis. There is only one in Canada at the present time. They take five or six months to produce and weigh 39 pounds. For the person who is contemplating such a pur- chase, Mr. Mothersill adds that Zeiss offers a free trip to Germany for the buyer and his camera dealer to pick up the lens. Nicknamed 'Big Bertha', the lens is going to be attached to a camera with its viewfind- er trained on a sign about a block away from Hallmark, which is located in the rear portion of 99 Simcoe St, with parking at the corner of Bruce and Celina Streets. Mr. Smith is also going to be demonstrating products from the entire Yashica line, from the small rangefinder cam- eras to the top of the line Zeiss lenses, says Mr. Mothersill. Display hours are going to be from 12 noon to 8 p.m. on May 27th and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 28. Big Bertha is approximately 17 inches long and 10 inches in diameter and everyone inter- ested in seeing what $27,000 looks like is welcome to view it. General Motors General Motors of Canada has developed an innovative graphic automobile diagnostic manual to aid mechanics and do-it-yourselfers in diagnosing car problems with a minimum of reading. Called the General Motors Diagnosis and Repair Manual, it utilizes a new concept in diagnosis with the use of symbols which are similar to international highway signs. The GMDR (Graphic Mode Diagnosis and Repair) sym- bols are cleverly combined with pictures of car parts to describe diagnostic proce- dures. The symbols show what steps to take while the pictures reveal the parts to test or work on. William J. Atkinson, GM General Service Manager, said: "Initial response to the General Motors Diagnosis and Repair Manual, from mechan- ics of all skill levels, has been positive. "Our objective was to deve- îop a manual that is easy to understand,-with a minimump of reading. Based on the initial response, we feel we have accomplished that goal. "The GM Diagnosis and Repair Manual can be a new and valued tool for instruc- tors. Importantly, also, do-it- yourselfers will find the manual helpful and easy to use. "For those who do not wish to do their own automobile repairs, the manual will guide them into determining the symptons of a problem and the probable cause. This informa- tion can then be used to better communicate with a mechan- ic," he said. The book can be used for Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and GMC products and many other makes. It is divided into sections, each covering a major automobile system. The systems covered are heater and air conditioner, steering, accessories, suspen- sion, wheel and tires, brakes, chassis and body electrical, automatic transmission and engine. Each section has a handy index, listed by possible automobile problem symp- tons. The recommended diag- nostic procedure for each problem is spelled out step by step in a GMDR chart. Words on these charts are kept to:a minimum by using GMDR symbols and pictures. The book helps answer two important questions -- what are probable causes of the problem and what needs to be repaired or replaced. The GMDR Manual is cur- rent, covering most up-to-date new-car systems as well as those of many previous models. It contains more than 190 pages of diagnostic charts. The General Motors Diagno- sis and Repair Manual retails for $4.95. Additional informa- tion on the manuel is available from: Technical Publications, General Motors of Canada Limited, Park Rd.
