Clarke Museum expanded fund raising Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 26, 1990-3 Rebekahs have second by Shelley Allin The Clarke Museum Building Ex- pansion book sale was held last Saturday and Sunday. Most of the books were donated from the Town of Newcastle Public Library with some books being donated by the general public. They have three book sales per year and are always looking for books. Mark your calendar! If you miss- ed the book sale, it's not too late to participate in their next fundraising event. A house tour is planned for by Gord Mills Some of the ravages of ageing, like thinner skin, dwindling muscles and a tendancy to put on weight around the middle may be reversed by treat- ment with a genetically-engineered version of human growth hormone. A test group of men in the USA ag- ed between 6i and 81 were given in- jections of the hormone for six months - with miraculous results. Their skins became youthfully thick again. Body fat decreased by 14 percent and they added nine per October 13th. Houses in the tour will vary in construction from as early as 1840 to a modern day house of 1990. Tickets are available at the museum for only $8.00, from Mon. - Fri. 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. or Saturday and Sunday 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. or call 983-9243. Now is the time to practise that new recipe to perfect it for the December 8th Christmas bake sale as they will be looking for donations again. Mark Jackman, Curator for the museum said "Our goal is $2 Around Home What Will Be Will Be Around the office last week a number of chuckles came forth relating to an incident at the Of- ficiai Opening of the new East Wing at Memorial hospital. We would like to back track some before we get into the event itself. Gord Mills in referring to in- cidents has a philosophy that goes along the line of "What will be -will be". He dates this back to Doris Day, a high profile actress back some years ago. It does date Gord as far as age is concerned. It was thought at one time, that Gord was perhaps the oldest member of the new government at Queen's Park. It is not so for we recently read of an older member, female, from western Ontario. But back to the opening of the new wing at Memorial. Of course as MPP Gord Mills was on stage for the opening bring- ing words of congratulation and best wishes from the province of Ontario and the government. He expressed his pleasure of be- ing present stating that it was a total surprise to be where he was on this occasion. He further stated that if he had been asked a number of weeks ago just what part he would be playing it would be one of a reporter and photographer for the Orono Times. "I looked out over the audience and didn't see you Roy," said Gord after the event, "but I did note so- meone new to me taking notes which I suspected had to be a reporter." Gord said he introduced himself to the unknown reporter and of course asked what paper she represented. 'The Orono Times"was the reply, "'rn Shelley Allin". Gord must have made a bee-line to the Times office after the open- ing stating "Roy you bury them before they even cool out". My only reply was "What will be - will be. And after all Gord has always practiced the motto, "Never put off tomorrow what you can do to-day. As to Gord's position at the Times he refers to it as keeping a finger on the pulse of things and in- tends to continue to write a couple of articles on a weekly basis. So another week at the Times, as far as publishing is concerned, is about over. cent extra lean body mass principal- ly in vital body organs like the kidneys, liver and the heart. The doctor in charge of the study, Dr. Daniel Rudman, reported that the hormone treat- ment appeared to cause no serious side effects, unless the cost of ureat- ment estimated at about $14,000 sparkled palpitations The six-month injection coUrse left the American study men with stronger muscles and more youthful million and hopefully with local business and corporation support we will achieve our goal." Con- struction is to begin in early March, weather permitting. Also on Friday, September 28, there are a few seats left for the bus trip to St. Jacobs in Mennonite country leaving at 8:00 a.m. A super time to start that early Christmas shopping. Donations can be made at the museum. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $5.00 or greater.

Parker Consultants have inform- ed the Town of Newcastle that through a series of public meetings in the Town, suggestions were made from the public that the proposed Highway 407 be located north of Mosport. As a result, such a route has been defined by the Ministry. The route will be evaluated along with the other, outlined at the public meetings. The Town is seeking to have Crooked Creek termed a residential cluster. bodies thus turning back the physical clock ten to twenty years. Human growth hormone is pro- duced by the body's pituitary gland to do just what it describes, en- courage and provide the stimulus for growth. Studies have linked the bodies deficient production of human growth hormone with changes associated with ageing such as shrinking muscles and thinning skin. One in three elderly people lacks growth hormone simply because the pituitary gland has stopped produc- ing it. Over the past five years the genetically-engineered hormones have been developed which eliminate the variations found in the scantily available natural pro- duct. Experts are predicting a black market in human growth hormone as males continue their search for eternal youth.
