We have everything we'll need for a big enjoyable evening. Also, the hall board has some special events. Blackstock and District Lions Club We had a most enjoyable evening last Wednesday when we served din- ner to our caterers who serve us throughout the year. "Keyed-Up," a quartet from Pineridge Chorus, entertained us with several barber- shop numbers. The new executive takes over in July and we have a director's meeting in July and in August. However, you'll see us out and around with our parade lion, first at Williams Point Canada Day Parade and later that day in Janetville's Canada Day Parade, then we'll be joining up with the Caesarea Regatta Parade on Civic Holiday Weekend, and don't forget to watch for us in the Blackstock Fair Parade. Our mem- bers will be flipping hamburgers once again at the tractor pull, at the Musicians Cornroast in August and again at the Blackstock Fair. And, of course, our bar services are always available. The Blackstock Lions wish you all the best this summer. Opening of the North Durham Police Station Outside we saw exhibits of: a) the Road Watch with radar and lots of printed materials; b) a nice area with tables and chairs where you could enjoy a free cold drink, pizza or hot dog; c) the helicopter; d) a simulator. You strapped yourself in and then you went down a low grade until you hit the stopper at the bottom. This gave you the sense of what it would be like to hit a similar solid object at 50 or 60 times that speed; e) forensic science display; f) search and rescue display with all the latest equipment for water, smoke, or gas; g) children's play display; h) the bomb robot with pressure water cannon and all its electronic controls; and i) the latest equipment in breathalizer testing. The tour through the police sta- tion was remarkable. Everything had a purpose and it was the latest in electronic engineering. Even each of the two garages had a major pur- pose. Whenever an officer enters a specific room with his key, his entry and departure are recorded on com- puter. I might add that, thanks to Road Watch and township employ- ees, all Scugog Township buildings with pay telephones have taxi num- bers displayed near the phones - a boon to drinking drivers. | feel it was an afternoon well spent. Scugog Township Council Meeting Last Monday afternoon, the peti- tion dealing with the Blackstock Transfer Station from all three com- munities of Blackstock, Nestleton and Caesarea was submitted to council. This will also be presented to region at a later date. The littering of our road allowances with coffee cups, pop cans, plastic containers, and candy wrappers was addressed. Many sum- mons have been issued. Joke of the Week Leftovers were served two or three times a week at the Bible College | attended. We took turns asking the Lord's blessing upon each meal, and this privilege came to my friend on a leftovers day. He prayed, "Lord, once again we thank you for this food. Amen." Scugog Island WI to host a strawberry social July By Clara Dowson Scugog Island United Church once again welcomed Rev. Michael Bishop, Chaplain of Lakeridge Health, Port Perry. He played his guitar and sang and had his puppets along. The choir and the Orchestra were very good as always. Everyone enjoys the music at Scugog United. Next Sunday and through July services will be conducted outside, weather permitting, with Rev. Lockhart. The Scugog Island Women's Institute met Wednesday evening, June 20 at the Island Hall with 13 members. President Gloria Fralick opened in the usual order. All reports given and passed and correspondence taken care of. Roll call was answered by: "How do you handle stress?" Each person has a different way of handling their problem. Motto: Garden of Resolutions given by Betty Ann Freeman. Betty Reader reported on the Ontario District W.I. meeting held at Zephyr. She gave us a good detailed report. Also two of our members are on the new executive, Gloria Fralick - 3rd vice-president and Helen Hortop - public relations.

The Stewards of the Island Church were well pleased with the results of the strawberry supper on Sunday. It sure was delicious and most complaints | heard were "Am I ever full, but so good." The Head Memorial U.C.W. catered to a noon luncheon on Friday, June 22 at the Pentecostal Church, Port Perry for a group from the North Durham Social Development Council. pe tl lL Ah la aE i tte i ee i py Ml was fe "ine ool ® ch 6 8 de 0 se al fio op NB pro Uh RH a lh Re a 2 el Ae rade ee ia A tT A OE EN Ett TOU re TN Sr fF EI rt te "IE oramtvens OTE rar PAs Trem 2 tn, LEN eI rat Sr. warren Sr---- ae
