The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 28, 1976 3 TYRONE It is my pleasure to attempt to write the Tyrone News as of today ana i welcume anybody who has an interesting item to call me, Bernhard Heming, at 263-2307. The Official Opening of the new Tyrone Community Cen- tre was held on Saturday, January 17, 1976 at 2:00 p.m. Skies were clear and tempera- ture was a chilly 15 degrees below, Celsius. Members of the Tyrone Community Centre Board during the year of construction were: Chairman - B. W. Heming, Treasurer - Mrs. Cecile Bowers, Secretary - Mrs. Janet Heming, Direc- tors - Messrs. J. Virtue, Otto Jost, Jim Metcalfe, Steve Canonico, Dwayne Taylor, Gerry Taylor, John Wood, Terry Clif ton, Terry Wilson and Mrs. Elva Byam. Guests of honor at the opening were: Mr. E. R. S. McLaughlin representing the R. Samuel McLaughlin Foundation, Mr. Allan Lawrence representing the Federal Government, Mr. Garnet Rickard, Mayor of the Town of Newcastle, Council- lors Don Allin, Bruce Tink, Ann Cowman and-Ken Lyall; Mr. George Totten represent- ing the contractor and Mr. Doug Taylor representing the Canadian Statesman. Mr. Dick McLaughlin, who cut the official red ribbon, was introduced by Mr. Terry Clifton, Master of Cere- monies. Before cutting the ribbon, Mr. McLaughlin paid tribute to those responsible for this great accomplishment and sîngled out the foresight of Mr. Archie Virtue and Mr. Bill Thiesburger in acquiring the land the hall was built on. The Mayor then spoke briefly, highlighting the fact that the project was financed com- pletely through funds raised by the Tyrone Community Centre Board and will there- fore, not require monies from taxes. He jested that people in Oshawa had better under- stand that Tyrone is where Oshawa actually started. Mr. Allan Lawrence was the next speaker and while his speech was quite short, it reflected very well the major points; namely, that it is a beautiful hall, in a great setting, in an industrious village, whose re- sidents are setting an example for others to follow by financing it without leaning on the Federal Government or the taxpayers. Mr. Terry Clifton then invited Mr. Bern- hard Heming, Chairman of the Tyrone Community Centre Board topresent the scissors (appropriately inscribed) used to cut the ribbon to Mr. Dick McLaughlin as a memen- to. With the official part over, everyone was invited to par- take of some wine and cheese and meet and talk with their neighbors. There was a good sized crowd on hand and everyone appeared to have a good time till the hall was closed for the day at 6:00 p.m. The Annual General Meet- ing of the Tyrone Community Centre was held on Sunday, January 18, 1976 at 8:00 p.m. with 53 people in attendance.

He expres- sed the hope that completing the new hall is only the beginning of great things to come that will make the life more enjoyable for the resi- dents in and around Tyrone. He reported that at a previous meeting with all local groups, associations and clubs, these were in favor of appointing delegates to the future Com- munity Centre Boards in an attempt to give all Community aétivities a broader base. The following representatives were appointed to the Board: U.C.W. - Mrs. M. Knowlton, Boys' Baseball - Ralph Bow- ers, Girls' Baseball - Mrs. G. Tidd, Orange Lodge • R. Gibbs, Black, Knights. R. Brown, Senior Soccer - Ralph Davey, Junior Soccer - Mitch Davey, Teenagers - Dianne Woodley, Senior Citizens - Earl Prescott, Lob Ball - Karl Edgar. A motion was approv- ed that delegates from groups not represented at the Annual meeting be accepted when- ever they are nominated by their particular organization. Nominations for -the Execu- tive Committee were held and for the first time in memory, more residents stood for nominations than there were positions available despite the fact that everybo was warned that if elected Hall Board business had to get priority after family and work requirements. From a ballot, the following were elected to the Executve Committee - John Virtue, J. Terry Clifton, Mrs. Cecile Bowers, Otto Jost, John Wood, Grenville Byam and Bill Vivian. After a lo'ng and beateddiscussion, it was agreed that the boundaries of Taunton Road, New Scugog Road, Townline to the East of Townline to the North to be recognized as Tyrone and that privileges extended to Tyrone residents should also be ex- tended to anyone living out- side these boundaries if they are active members in the community. Lodges and groups operating out of Ty- rone would also be eligible for these privileges but not the individual members unless they resided in the commun- ity. The sale of liquor in Ward 1, former Township of Darling- ton, is not permitted. After some discussion, approval was given to the Community Centre Board to initiate a referendum to allow the sale of liquor, to be voted upon at the next municipal elected. The Chairman reported that the Volunteer Fire Depart- ment matter is not dead yet, only sleeping, and needs to be revived, if this is the wish of the community. A motion was made and passed that the Board take all necessary steps. The financial report shows expenditures' of $8,623.14 and income of $9,687.02, for a net income of $1,063.88 for the year out of operations. The new Tyrone Community Centre Executive Committee held its first meeting on Wednesday, January 21, 1976. Rental rates for residents and non-residents weie discussed and John Virtue was instruct- ed to check with other halls in Oshawa and Bowmanville and report back. Mr. John Virtue was appointed Chairman and Install New Officers for Pales tne Chapter Last Monday, the officers of Palestine Chapter of Royal Arch Masons were declared installed by their Grand Superintendent, Rt. Ex. Comp. Steven Tripp. Appearing above are (front) R. Hall - IPZ; R. Walker - H; K. Billett - Z; M. MacKenzie - J; S. Tripp, - Grand Superintendent: (second row) W.

MeFarlane - D.C. weather; but all present enjoyed the evening and the, sandwiches, coffee and cake that always goes with these, parties. On Thursday evening, Jan. 22nd, members of the Wesley- ville Cemetery Board met at the home of Mrs. E. Barrow- clough to transact the annual business. A report from in- vestments did not arrive in time to hold the meeting sooner; although written in November, it was evidently mislaid during the strike. The business was conducted by the chairman Leonard Oughtred, and at the reading of the minutes of the last meeting regret was recorded at the absence of Wilfred Bee whose death occurred since that last meeting. Wilfred had been treasurer since the formation of the board in 1939 and Mrs., Archie Ford was appointed as treasurer as well as secretary to fill that office. The Board was sorry to accept the resignation of Leonard Ough- tred as chairman, he felt he had served his term since he bas acted as chairman since 1945, except for a very few meetings. Arnold Thorndyke was made chairman for the next two years. Clarence Nichols was appointed to interview a caretaker for the next season. Rev. Gerald A. Brown, B.A., B.D., chaplain at the Pine- ridge School in Bowmanville was in charge of the service at Welcome United Church on Sunday morning in the ab- sence of Rev. R. Bartlett. The congregation was smaller than usual but those there enjoyed a fine service of fellowship which was empha- sized in Rev. Brown's sermon. The story for the children was a lesson in appreciation of what we have, and the futility of grumbling about what -we cannot change. The junior choir under the leadership of Mrs. Gloria Lax and Mrs. Dennis Croft sang "Time is always moving on". Rev. Brown's message was "The sharing community' and from his wealth of experience of working with people, illus- trated the need of people for the warm fellowship of each other. This is sometimes found in other groups than the formal church service, but the church everywhere should be reaching out to people who need that fellowship. "There are hundreds of ways to make money," said a politician, "but only one honest way." "What's that?" asked his opponent in debate. "Aha," retorted the first, "I thought you wouldn't know."

It is good to see everybody pitching in. The Sports representatives had their say too and it looks like ways will be found to equip them ail with what it takes. As an item of interest, the Board of Stewards of the Tyrone United Church will meet Wednesday night, January 27th at 7:30 p.m. Weather Report - Lots of snow lately and if you want to see a car heading for the ditch on a perfectly straight road on a day when you can see for miles, come on South of the General Store. They are doing it by the dozen. Seems you cannot tell where the road ends and the ditch starts and if two cars meet, one pulls over too far and there he is in three, feet of snow. Happily, so far, only pride bas been hurt. Perhaps the Worksi Depart- ment should have another look at the way they are ploughing the snow around Tyrone! Sympathy is extended to the family of the late Rob Roy, who passed away at his home on Thursday evening. Rob would have been 82 years old in March and was active in his orchard right up to the time of his death. The Roy family have been on that property for over 100 years, Rob bimself having been born there. He is survived by his wife, son and daughter and three grand- children.

WESLEYVILLE This has been a great week for "Do you remember when . .? among the older folk. There were days when this township had no snowplows but really had lots of snow. Some folk put the car in the garage and depended on the horses and sleighs. That will not work in 1976. There are a few horses around but not much equipment, so now we wait for the snowplow instead of starting out to shovel out the road from Wesleyville to Port Hope as was tried in the 1940's. Needless to say the road was taken through fields where necessary and the main road was not opened till spring breakap. Inspitef the snow and cold, there was a happy party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Austin, Monday night, Jan. 19, when neighbors gathered to offer best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Rae Tufford who were married late in 1975. As an introduction to each other, each person was presented with five coppers as they arrived, one of which they had to forfeit when they answered 'yes" or "no" to a direct question. Mrs. Leslie Ford had the most money at the end of the appointed time and Robert Dinner and Archie Ford were tied for the gentlemen, with Robert winning the draw, An address of congratulation was read by Clarence Nichols who was for many years Rae's Sunday School teacher. Rae thanked their friends on behalf of them both after they were presented with gifts of card tables and chairs and a mirror by Roy Austin, Harold Best, Robert Dinner and Kevin Austin. Words of good wishes and advice from the wisdom of years were spoken by Clarence and Murray being together, enjoyed a good Payne. Neighbors who do not visit.
