Federation of Agriculture representative for Durham Dorothy Catton told council that the farm organization is seeking exemptions from any noise by-laws in several Durham Region municipal- ities. Newcastle has already agreed to the request, and both Brock and Uxbridge Townships will likely agree after they have had a chance to study the proposal, she said. Although Scugog at pres- ent does not have an anti- noise by-law, it is possible = STEHT EET Spirit"! Lives On that the provincial govern- ment may someday demand such by-laws in all munici- palities under the Environ- mental Protection or the Municipal Act.

The single engine aircraft, silver-grey in colour, and piloted by Verne Jobst was constructed last year by the Experimental Aircraft Asso- ciation Museum near Mil- waukee, Wisconsin, as a tri- bute to the 50th anniversary of Lindbergh's historical solo flight from New York to Paris. Accompanied by a 1930 Stinson *'chase plane", the replica made two low passes over the runway at Green- bank and then touched down Pilot Verne Jobst stands in front of an exact replica of Charles Lindbergh's famous 'Spirit of Louis" which made a brief stop Sunday night in Scugog Township.

Captain Jobst, dressed in a light tan jacket and knickers with brown knee socks and ankle boots spent about half an hour talking about the craft and answering ques- tions. The two aircraft are pre- sently on a tour of Ontario and after stops this week in London, will return to the United States. Captain Jobst said that more than four million people have viewed the plane since it began the continental tour in 1977. . To the untrained eye the plane is an exact replica of the Ryan that Lindbergh flew out of New York on his 33-hour solo crossing of the Atlantic 51 years ago. The replica even has the same identity letter - NX 211. It was built in 1977 by the aircraft museum foundation using original blue-prints and some parts from a Ryan aircraft similar to the one Lindbergh flew. Duplicating the aircraft---cost about $90,000, but Jim Barton, a member of the Museum, and pilot of the Stinson chaser said its value is now many times that amount. Man dies in Scugog A 46-year old Whitby man died Sunday afternoon while swimming in Lake Scugog. A police spokesman with the Whitby detachment of the OPP said Monday that Lawrence Disney was appar- antly swimming with friends in shallow water about 50 meters from the shore on the west side of the lake near the 10th Concession. The victim was taken from the water about 5:30 p.m. by police officers in the OPP patrol boat. An autopsy was to be held Monday at the Cottage Hos- pital in Uxbridge to deter- mine the exact cause of death. A police spokesman said the victim may have suffered a heart attack. on * "LEAS OAT ROE geo) Fad 0 YR A Learning Jennifer Egan Some like it...
