WlIITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 29, 1981, PAGE 5 Cancer can be beaten . ... Local dentist will attempt to raise $1,000 in Kiwanis bike-a-thon You call this a bike You mean I have to ride this? While Dr. Peers Davidson, a local dentist, has promised to raise $1,000 in this Saturday's Kiwanis Club's Bike Ride For Cancer he seems somewhat less than thrilled with the prospect of facing the trek perched atop this contraption. In the effort to raise money through pledges Davidson has challenged other dental offices in the region to either sponsor him or provide riders to participate in the ride. Arts and craft The Whitby Parks and Recreation Department will be holding an arts and craft show on Saturday, May 9 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. at the Iroquois Park Com- plex. The show and sale will feature over 100 craftsmen from all over Eastern On- tario. Admission will be $1 for adults, 50 cents for senior citizens and children under 13 will be admitted free. By MARION !RWIN Cancer Can Be Beaten! You Bet Your Life It Can! Terry Fox thinks so - and so does Dr. Peers Davidson, a local dentist who has com- mitted himself to raising $1,000 this Saturday, May 2 in the Kiwanis Club's annual Bike Ride for Cancer. Davidson says, "I've been aware of the need for funds for many years because my father was involved very ac- tively in Cancer Society work in Montreal. Terry Fox has inspired all of us and because of him and because of a presentation at our Rotary Club by a Cancer Society representative regarding the need for funds for ongoing programs and administration, I felt I wan- ted to do my part." Davidson would like to challenge other dental of- fices to either sponsor him or provide riders too. He is aware, as it is hoped that all are aware, that the Terry. Fox money was specifically designated by Terry for new research programs. Consequently, funds are still required for already existing programs and for public education and service to patients. Davidson says he has several favourite charities and the Cancer Society is one which deserves moral and financial support. He'd like to see ail kinds of of- fices, businesses and com- panies challenging one another to raise money through the Kiwanis Club's Bike Ride. ONTARIO'S FISH TESTING PROGRAM One type of business which did get very actively in- volved last year was the banking business. Once again several of Whitby's banks and trust companies will be participating - eight to be exact. Last year the six who took part raised just over half of the $7,000 raised in all by the 115 riders who took part. This was a tremendous effort and as campaign co-chairman Marion Irwin says, "It far surpassed any expectations I had!" The Royal Bank staff on Brock Street raised $1,223.16, and, as the win- ners on a per capita basis, were treated to a buffet lun- ch following the collection of the money. Coming a close second was the staff at the Bank of Nova Scotia who raised $1,010. The goal of the Kiwanis Club this year is $10,000. The ride starts from Centennial Park on Brock Street South at 10 a.m. this Saturday, May 2. It is a 20 kilometer ride (about 12 miles) taking about 1½ - 2 hours to com- plete. In the event of poor weather the ride will be held on Sunday, May 3. Sponsor Sheets showing the route to be followed are available in several Whitby businesses (e.g. Jury & Lovell's, Pat's Place) in- cluding most bank branches. Further information is available by calling either Kiwanis ride chairman, Charlie Cyr at 668-3858 or Canadian Cancer Society campaign co-chairman Marion Irwin at 668-4339. It's not too late even now to pick up a sponsor sheet and get involved. Anderson to host free band concert On Saturday, May 2, 1981, the Music Department of Anderson C.V.I. will be presenting a free concert featuring the Concert Band from Hawkesbury District Secondary School. The second half of the program will feature a performance by the combined concert bands from both schools. Admission for this event is free, however donations will be gratefully accepted after the performance, to help of- fset the cost of our return visit to Hawkesbury. For more information call Anderson Collegiate at 668-5809. __CAULE Y Funiture 6' RpptUnee' Ontario is farnous for its fishing.
