Therapeutic Whirlpool Included in SPLASH Committee's Plans Duham Agricutural Noes Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 28, 1979 3 New Owners Take Over Texaco Service Station You're looking at what is probably the only whirlpool bath in existence in the Bowmanville area. The whirlpool, located in Bowmanville Memorial Hospital's physiotherapy department, is useful for relieving many types of aches and pains. "The patients receive a great deal of pain relief after using the whirlpool and find that they have more mobility in their muscles and joints", says J. Cook, chief physiotherapist at the Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville. But as the above photo indicates, the whirlpool is very small and not large enough for a large adult to be fully immersed. That's where plans to build Bowmanville's indoor fitness centre and pool will provide assistance. The Town of Newcastle SPLASH Committee, which is raising funds for the fitness centre, believes that if a small whirlpool such as the one shown above is good, a larger one should be even more beneficial. The whirlpool at the new fitness complex would be big enough to hold eight persons and has an estimated cost of $35,000. The SPLASH Committee is looking for donors who might be to right are Dr. David Shrives, interested in financing the Dorothy Thompson of Orono, a whirlpool at the fitness centre patient in the physiotherapy as a special donation. Any department; Bill Bagnell of funds for this special the SPLASH Committee; and equipment would be Maurice Prout, Town of appreciated and would be part Newcastle councillor and of the SPLASH Committee's member of the Memorial fund-raising efforts.

Christmas Seal dollars give financial assistance to needy respiratory patients for drugs and transportation - they Two thousand dollars will be invested by the school board in a cross country ski program this year. At their regular meeting in Cobourg last week, members of the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education agreed to spend this amount for instruction in the cross country program being offer- ed grades 6 - 8 between January and March.

Dalrymple Ag icultural Representative Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Resuilts We have heard a number of reports regarding exhibits from Durham County at the Royal Winter Fair and would like to congratulate those who made a good showing - whether it was in the exhibit section in the various competi- tions or showing livestock. We wish we could report on everyone, but can only men- tion some of those that we did see for ourselves or have heard about from others who were at the Royal. Congratulations are in order to Roger Hanbidge from Cavan for his win in the Royal International Jersey Futurity 3-year old class. Hokar Farms is the herd name for the Hanbidge family have Rock Ella Advancer's Sport, who is a 2-year old produced 8,217 pounds; with 458 pounds of fat and is an excellent cow, likewise, as the 3-year old she had 10,088 pounds at 589; this would give her a B.C.A. of a two year old as 148 - 152 and as a three year old of 146 - 158. In the Junior Barrow Show at the Royal, we were pleased to note that Don Skinner of Bowmanville took third place with a score of 395. I did have the opportunity of seeing this show, and it was certainly keenly contested and we do congratulate Don onhis excel- lent showing. We understand that Leanne VanCamp of Blackstock was the Champion Sheep Show- man in the ladies class for young ladies from 16 to 25. She, again, was in keen provide children with education on smoking, and adults with information on how to quit.

The program would require two students for 10 weeks. The cross country ski pro- gram is part of the board's outdoor education system.

In the grain section, we noticed that Don Swain placed 4th in the 2-row barley and also 4th in the 6-row barley. In the oat section, Mrs. Ada Yellowlees from Enniskillen was first; Wes Yellowlees from Enniskillen was second and Don Swain from Black- stock was fourth. We were pleased to have John DeVries, Steve Barrie and John Lane from the Bowmanville area take part in the Livestock Evaluation and Judging Competition at the Royal Winter Fair, which is open to Junior Farmers across Ontario. Congratula- tions are in order to the winning team from Peel County which won the Jeffery Bull Memorial Trophy to the County whose team of three contestants made the highest agrigate score in the Inter- county Livestock Evaluation Competition. Those of us in Durham, however, were pleased when it was announc- ed that the Durham County Team did place Second in the Competition. These young men spent an entire week in farms in Hastings, Northumberland, Peter- borough and Victoria County areas, visiting farms to look at good livestock, to study the different types of farm management and to gain a little more insight into the economic and the many problems involved in modern day agriculture. They, then, ended up at the Competition at the Royal Winter Fair and had a day to see the Royal Winter Fair in action. We do, again, offer our congratulations to the young men for the excellent showing they-made in representing Durham County and more importantly, getting more insight into modern agriculture and the overall area of farm management. Home Economics Footnotes By Linda Caldwell Home Economist Plan Ahead for Christmas Dinner Christmas is, approaching quickly and many people have started to do their Christmas shopping. Now is also a good time to start organizing the Christmas dinner. If you start planning now, before the rush, New additions to Bowmanville's business community are the recent purchasers of the Texaco Service Station at 218 Kirig Street East. Jim and Ellen Bush celebrated the grand opening of the garage under their ownership on November 12th. dinner will be more enjoyable and easier to prepare. Start by making up the menu. Prepare now anything that can be stored in the freezer. For example, bread, quick breads, Christmas cookies, pastries and cakes can be stored in the freezer from now until Christmas. Next, you can start to buy the groceries. If you're planning to serve turkey, beef or pork, consider buying it soon and freezing it until Christmas. If the meat you want to serve is particularly large or a special cut, it is wise to order it well in advance. Buy non-perishable foods soon too. Buy a few items such as cranberry sauce or canned fruit, vegetables and juices each shopping trip. It makes good sense. These ýroducts can be conveniently put away on the pantry shelf and it's easier to do shopping bit by bit instead of all at once near Christmas. Work out at least a rough schedule for Christmas day itself. You don't want to spend all day in the kitchen. A schedule will help to make the best use of your time and leave you free to enjoy the day with family and friends. The law practice of MERVYN B.
