Mr. Grierson, I think you missed the point here! With the financial resources of a govern- "ment run oil company and predatory pricing policies of Petrocan, I can see the Independent driven out, as well as the Multinationals being bought out, such as Fina and BP. All there is is Petrocan. What will a litre of gas cost us? Yours truly, Ron Davidson, Independent Sipco Dealer. bill smiley (continued) And many more, too miscellaneous to men- tion. And that's only the tool shed. Inside the house, there are eight tons of books, left by my children. The attic is going to come right through to the kitchen one of these days. How about a copy of Bhagavadgita, 1,000 pages, at $1.00? Man, I wish I'd got this idea off the ground about two months ago. Anyone interested in an iron crib, sides go up and down, filled with three hundred dollars worth of broken toys, exotic pain- tings, some records and a bag of marbles? Who needs to retire, with all this wealth ly- ing around? chatterbox (continued) It's a frightening thought as the memories of the 1980-81 recession are all too fresh. Are we destined to just sit back helplessly and watch it all happen again?

There were a total of 119 entries including 27 roses and some very attractive floral designs. President Ken Brown opened the evening's events by announcing that there would be a floral design demon- stration by some of our own members, namely, Marilyn Love, Dorothy Barter, Valerie Hund- ert, Joan Brak and her daugher, Jennifer. While this was in pro- gress, Betty Van Burren read her report of the Ontario Horti- cultural Association Annual Convention held recently in Sudbury. She advised that a contin- gent of seven of our members found the' event to be interesting and enjoyable and last, but not least, that they consumed tremendous amounts of food (they ate a lot!) She encour- aged us to attend next years convention to be held in Windsor. When the flower arranging group finish- ed their various creations, they were judged by Ken Brown, Lyla Allan and Dorothy Sandford, the latter, a well known rose judge from Oshawa. All of Two too much! If you tried the soap recipe that was printed in last week's Star, chances are you don't have baby-soft skin.

The recipe calls for four .cups of beef fat, two cups of water, two ounces of Borax and two ounces of lye. Unfortunately, the recipe that ended up in the paper specified two CUPS of lye. That's enough lye to keep Duz detergent in business for a month. So do not, we repeat, do not use two cups. Use two ounces. Or what- ever the heck that is in Metric. Also, our sincere apologies to Gavin Dempster and Terry Childs of Greenbank. The Port Perry Star gremlins set to work on a cutline last week, mixing up the students' names. Sorry guys. And as for 'you gremlins, take off, eh? "helpful to -- WESTERN DANCE -- "JACK BAILEY" FRI, JULY 13 these designs looked beautiful to the writer, but the judges proceed- ed, in Ken's words, to literally "tear them apart" for the benefit of all. Those judges' comments were very budding designers as well as all present. oo Judge for the sho itself, was Ruth Tink of Hampton, whose appropriate comments should be of great assistance to all future entrants in this show. Results for the show were as follows: Best White Rose - Audrey Young, prize donor, Warm Woolies and Whatnots; Best Decorative - Marilyn Love, second time Roses highlight of show winner of this prize, donor, Mitchell Bros. Building Supplies; and Best Novice Arrange- ment - Martin Zylstra. Darlene Byng of Brooklin and her mother, Mrs. Schad of Oshawa, provided and served a very attractive Junch. See you ory August 22 for the Ann Show. Look ma, no wings! Roy Morris got a bit of a surprise on July 2, when he looked out the window of his Pine Point home and saw this heavy wooden boat literally flipping through the air. The boat was anchored right at shore when it was picked up by what Mr. Morris called a "miniature cyclone' and carried well over 100 feet out in Lake Scugog. Mr. Mor- ris said later he could hardly believe his eyes when he saw his boat flipping through the air. 8PM. ADMISSION: $5.00 person (19 YRS. & OVER) SCUGOG ARENA
