Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 28th, 1978-9 Street rod ca rs invade local scene Street Rod cars are not a novelty in the Orono area or the Region of Durham as a number of residents spend considerable time in refur- bishing and inovating new features to their street rod cars. This interest came together on Saturday and Sunday in this area with a lawn show, rod tour and other events hosted by the Motor City Car Club. Most of the activities took place out of the Flying Dutchman Hotel in Bowman- ville where a lawn show was beld followed by a rod tour to Oshawa, MacDonalds and a Conservation area. Saturday evening the act- ivities turned to an awards banquet and dance at the Flying Dutchman. Sunday morning it was up bright and early for a pancake breakfast The above street rod car was on display at the Flying Dutchman last week-end and gained considerable interest sbowing man-witb bis bob- froin those viewing the dis- bies. play of 50 to 60 'cars. Again to be followed by a swap, seli and buy event at the Dutch- man. Again it was quite evident that hours upon hours must be spent in remodelling these cars as well as keeping them in top shape in operation and appearance. Another hobby where the resuits of interest, workman- ship and constant care is most evident. Doug Stapleton, of Orono, is the president of the hosting Motor City Car Club. As well Ross Morris, AI Barnard, Russ Major, Ted Robinson, John Goforth (formerly of Orono), John Grady and Bob Smirle took part in the activities over the week-end. There was around 60 cars entered in the event.

NORTH SHORE CLUB WANTS TO BE FIRST (Continued from page 8) members is resident there but also from the fact that it is an excellent location for trans- mitting and receiving. The field day operation continued from 2:00 p.m. Saturday morning continual- ly to 2:00 p.m. Sunday. During this period the mem- bers of the club operated the four stations for the full twenty-four hours. The North Shore Club operated a 2 meter station for phone and code, a 1 meter for code, a 80-40 neter station for phone and a fourth station 80-40 meters for code. The North Shore Amateur Radio club has a membership of 110. During the past season 35 new members were admit- ted as the result of a course in operation, code and theory offered by the club. These members have to pass tests by the Ministry. A similar course is again anticipated this coming sea- son and anyone wishing to obtain further information may do so by writing North Shore Amateur Radio Club, Bos 171, Oshawa, Ontario L1H 7L1. Mr. Marten Mantel, Orono and Mr. Jim Buckley of R.R. N Orono are members of the club. An evening with the stars at the Ganaraska Centre Mr. Austin and three mem- bers of the Bowmanville High School Astronomy Club out- lined the behaviours of the stars along with an identifi- cation at the Ganaraska Forest Centre on Saturday evening. A few over twenty were present to gain some knowledge and understanding of the stars as presented by the club members. Following a two hour view of the stars the group enjoyed a camp fire and bot chocolate presented by staff at the Forest Centre. The Bowmanville club set up a number of telescopes on site and zeroed in on identifi- cation of such planets as Venus, Jupiter with its rings, Mars, Neptune and many said we were witnessing to a gospel when we gathered around the Lord's table. The table tells us that Christ died. Thomas had said, "Let us go up to Jerusalem that we may die with Him." First Corin- thians 11, verse 26, "For as of ten as ye eat this bread and drink this cup ye do shew the Lord's death till he come". Christ is alive. We are expecting Christ to come. Paul is saying, "He is coming to us today". Perhaps he is coming to us one by one and calling us. He talks about hope for the better days to corne. At His table we remember Him who never forgets us. We were reminded of our church supper on Wednesday, June 28th. Kendal Church will be closed for the month of July when our minister and his family take their vacation in Newfoundland. This will give us an opportunity to visit neighbouring churches. Miss Catherine Stewart attended the George Loft- others which this writer fails to recall. It was pointed out that the whole galaxy of stars revolve around the north star which can be identified by lining up the end two stars of the Big Dipper. It was interesting to note the speed in which the stars and planets must travel for it was not long that Venus travelled beyond the western horizon sometime between eleven and midnight. This was also noted when looking at the planets through the telescopes. The planets within less than a minute would leave the field covered by the scopes. It was explained that this field with the particular telescope was rather narrow. The constellations were identified and explained as well as many other features that exist above us day and night. The club members and Mr. Austin were most receptive in answering questions and ex- panding on the happenings in the skies above. It was a leisurely and enjoyable evening although a little on the chilly side for those not prepared for the crisp night breezes. house picnic on Sunday after- noon at the Haydon Shore Pavillion on the waterfront south of Whitby. All the relatives were there, four came from California. Mic- hael Brown of London, her nephew came home with Miss Stewart for some holidays. The Kendal Women's Insti- tute met at the home of Mrs. John Henderson on Wednes- day evening, June 21st. Miss Penny Webster of Newtonville was the special speaker. She spoke on the Conservation of Energy. First she gave us a multiple choice quiz on the saving of energy. One lady acknowledged she had got one question correct. Some of the rest of us didn't do much better. We are a nation of wasters leaving lights on and allowing faucets to drip, etc. Then she showed lantern slides on insulating etc. She gave us a book entitled 100 ways to save energy and money in the home. On page 138 it says and I quote, "Remember to turn off the water heater when you leave on vacation". What's the sense of paying to heat hot water if you're a hundred miles away?" The roll call was, "Ways to save energy". This was well answered. The financial report was given by Mrs. Dell Gosson, the minutes were read by Mrs. E. Foster. We had received several letters from the Foster child in Haiti so Mrs. W. Turansky volunteered to write a letter to her. We also noted $10.00 to be sent to the Foster Parent Plan to purchase a Christmas gift for the family. The rest of the time was spent in mal r J plans to cater to the Dale Manders wedding on July 22nd at the home. A delicious lunch was provided by our hostess. The second week in July the ladies jogrney to the Couroux cottage. On Thursday evening, June 22nd a shower was held in the Sunday School Hall for Miss Dale Manders. The hostesses were Mrs. A. Foster, Mrs. E. Couroux and Mrs. Marion Manders. Many lovely gifts were received. After the lunch a beautiful shower cake decorated by Mrs. W. Hoy was admired and photographed with the bride to be cutting the cake which we all enjoyed.
