6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 11. 1975 Section Two Women's Institute News An eventful evening was held in Trinity Sunday School room on June 5th, when Bowmanville Women's Insti- tute celebrated their 75th Anniversary beginning at 6:30 p.m. with a delicious dinner served by Unit 9. Mrs. C. Downey, Mrs. M. Wiseman and Mrs. E. Twist received and welcomed the guests numbering 63. Mrs. Johns and Mrs. T. Buttery were in charge of registry and Mrs. Flintoff in charge of tickets. Mrs. Amacher played the piano while guests arrived and Mr. James circulated around among the guests taking pictures. When all had ar- rived, Mrs. Downey invited us to find places at the tables and we sang the Institute Grace and a toast to theeQueen. The tables were prettily decorated and place cards at each place with the program printed inside, birthday cake and favors including a small hand made cup and saucer contained after dinner mnts. I am sure we all enjoyed supper of cold meat and turkey, salads,, cole slaw and jellies followed by good home made pies. After the tables had been cleared, Mrs. Bragg at the piano and Miss P. Leach led us in singing a number of old songs, beginning with one, a salute thInstitutes and closed with a farewell to the Institute of the past years. Mrs. Downey introduced the ladies of the head table: Mrs. Johns - i life member; Mrs. Ashton -,Sect. Treas. of the District; Mrs. Elliot - Sect. of the Central Area; Mrs. Twist - District Director; Mrs. Wise- man - brought greetings from the ProvincialBoard of Directors of which she is a member; Mrs. T. Buttery - a life member and Registrar for the area; Mrs. Fraser - President of the District brought greetings from West Durham Institute; Mrs. Flint- off - our own Sect. Treas.; Mrs. Snowden - 1st Sect. of Bowmanville Institute and a charter member; Mrs. Hughes - our area President. Mrs. Twist and Mrs. Bell sang two delightful numbers, "Lullaby" and "Beatuiful Dreamer". Mrs. Twist told us it wasn't for their talent they were singing but because they belong to Bowmanville Insti- tute. Mrs. Downey then asked Mrs. Flintoff to give aalittle history of our Institute. She .said in 1900 a Women 's Institute was organzed in Bowmanville and they met while their husbands attended their Farmers Institute. Miss Sparling of Pontypool was the Secretary. Miss Sparling, now Mrs. Snowden is with us to-night. She attended the District Centennial dinner in 1967 and took part in the rogram. Our programs have een chiefly educational in- cluding papers on health, home- economics, education, plants, cooking, citizenship, research and some tours. Each meeting has enter- tainment and a social time. For 25 years we had a Kopper Carnival to raise funds but now our money is raised by donations. Through theyears Women's Institute has helped various projects of the town, the hosp1tal, artificial ice fund at the arena, the rest room and stage lights in the town hall, centennial float and centennial museum, library, school prizes, Red Cross and in 1969 a G.P. Walter Chair was donated to the museum.

While rummating over the occasion it occurred to us that we had quite a human interest story right at our lanolin covered finger tips. Not having very much news this week, we submit our version. What's so dam interesting about clipping a sheep, say you , except the strong possibility of picking up one of those cute little six-legged blood suckers - ticks or keds? The interest lies in the fact that the ovine tonsorial artist, Mr. Lewis McGill will be observing his 75th birthday and o n encoe sngae "Thu IUI Od, tOld, v e dy a child through drinking "Th Ol, OdldOldLad un ure milk, so women de- and the boy that was baîf past _-d he three."

Not that Lew has ost his touch. He had our 40 sheep clipped by 3 p.m. - less than 10 minutes per sheep average. No novice at this particular profession, he has acquired something of a record, we believe, for long- evity in the trade. He alone has clipped sheep since 1930 and worked with his dad prior to his death for 10-15 years before that. The highest num- ber ever clipped in one year, an eyebrow raising 2200; that's a lot of wool to pull over anyone's eyes. To the uninitiated it could pose an interesting question as to how one approaches arsheep for this defoliation operaltion. First, one seats the lady-mn- waiting upon ber derriere facing away from you. Sounds simple except the ady doesn't of ber own volition crawl into the barberchair; in fact 90 per cent of them resist the operation with al their con- centrated efforts wbich is considerable when you get 200 bs. or more of meat and muscle pitted against you. This accomplished it'still rquires skil, dexterity and "savoir-faire" to keep the victim in a position in which to shear and conveniently with- out it getting up and away and with as little physical effortas sible by the operator. First from neck to tail on one side then the cotted dirty tummy and then the other side from top to bottom till all is completed. Inflation has hit the business like everything else. Cost of new clippers, new blades, repairs, sharpening and ser- vicing bas increased by leaps and bounds. But, compared to other professional trades still quite reasonable. Next time you slip your barber $1-$4.00 for a quick trim, don't wish you were a sheep (or male counterpart even moreso) and get "clipped" only once a year for less th an ¼ of that figure. Another advantage the barber is customarily quite slent except for the occasional epithet when soe recalci- trant nannie fails, to co- operate. We hope Lew changes his mind about quitting the game; already our back aches just thinking about clipping the sheep next year. With the wool price last year only 25 cents a lb. and little chance of much improvement, scarcely stirs one into action., If you have priced a garment of 100 per cent virgin wool, one notices a tremen- dous disparity in cost and selling price. Perhaps it's time tbey quit advertising that Nicotine in Nonsmokers In Surprising Amounts Most urban nonsmokers have nicotine in their body fluids for most of their lives, says new research. They get it from breathing indoor air polluted by other people's tobacco smoke. Measurable quantities of nicotine were present in the blood and urine of most nonsmokers tested at two hospitals in London, England. While the average concentra- tion of nicotine in the urine of nonsmokers was 10 units, it was 1200 units for smokers. However, when nonsmokers were deliberately exposed to high concentrations of tobacco smoke in an unventilated room for a little more than an "virgin" wool and accepted the wool from any easy going ovine wench who cares to part with it. To conclude our tirade and justifiable tribute to the vet- eran artist and former mun- icioal colleaizue and current Councillor, we add that Lew belongs to the "old Isehool" who believes in giving good value for every dollar earned. Too bad this philosophy wasn't more widespread in dhistime of turbulence in the labour field and wildcat strikes. And if he should grumble orgrowl a little on occasion when things go wrone. he's entitled t0 il hour the average level of nicotine in their urine in- creased 1000 per cent. One startling result of the study was this: after expo- sure, several nonsmokers hal such enormous increases their urinary nicotine lev¡ls that they were higher than those of smokers. The researchers at the London Hospitals said, "Pa-c sive smoking may be harmfu. and infants are most at risk Another London study showed that tobacco smoke generated by parents' smoking actually doubles the risk of an infant's attack of pneumonia or bron- chitis. "The fact that some nicotine is present in the urine of almost all non-smokers sug- gests that episodes of passive smoking are common in urban life, say the researchers. "We conclude that virtually all urban nonsmokers have measurable amounts of nico- tine in their body fluids throughout most of their lives. It is derived from the indoor, air they breathe and it requires no more than one or two smokers to contaminate a vehicle or building.", To find out more about the effects of smoking on non- smokers as well as smokers, contact yourwChristmas Seal Association.

Senior Citizens Week focuses attention on their contributions and needs - pro- moting and publicizing services provided by the Ontario Government to senior citizens, and encouraging development of recreational and social services in communities across Ontarfo. For instance, lots of seniors are volunteering to help other senior citizens - driving them to appointmertts, helping them to fiIl out income tax returns, teaching them, sharing experiences with them. Did you know that there are many senior citizens' physical fitness pro- grams that you can join (including Senior Citizens' Olympics organized in some Ontario communities)? Did you know that seniors themselves have developed many clubs and centres for theirown special interests, including just about everything from gardening to world travel? With 1000 senior citizens' clubs here in Ontario, as well as 90 senior citizens' centres, there's bound to be one in your community. What's more, there are many special interest clubs that aren't limited as to age-camera clubs, social clubs, study groups, a whole range of subjects that people who are retired now have ti me for. Through special grants and other assistance, older people are finding the opportunity to go back to school and university-to develop new talents and concentrate on new interests.
