Seven Whitby girls are members of the choir and two of the girls reside within the Corridor Area. Mrs. Marlene Flett, fund raising convenor for the festival singers, accepted the cheque and thanked the association for their generous donation. We wish the girls and their advisors well, and hope that our gift will bring them a little closer to their goal. It was very gratifying to see so many members, friends and neighbours attend the annual meeting. MINI MARATHON ROAD RACE Some 150 rummers and 40 wheel chair drivers participated in the mini marathon road race onSunday. The first to com- plete the race, averaged 12 miles an hour. This is quite an ac- complishment in itself, but more amazing, is that, the first to complete the course, did so in a wheel chair. The champ will be attending the handicapped Olympics in Holland this sum- mer. The Corridor Champ, Darryl Taylor, also took part in the race. Last year Darryl completed the 6 miles in his wheel chair in 73 minutes. This year, he bettered his own time, wheeling the 6 miles in 30 minutes. The mini marathon race was blessed with beautiful sunny weather, and no misshaps occurred. We congratulate all entrants, but a special felicitation is ex- tended to Darryl Taylor, from the Corridor in Whitby.
