Devereux were among more than 200 people who attended a retire- ment dinner and dance for Rackham at Luna Ballroom in North York recently. Rackham was involved in more murder and other seri- ous crime investigations than he can remember. An identifi- cation officer is sent to most major crimes and serious accidents.

He was a camera buff when he joined the OPP in Belleville in 1949 and helped establish the force's first identification unit outside headquarters in Toronto. Rackham retired at the end of December and has left a (Tnompson). police identification specialist was in identifying the victims in the 1970 crash of an Air Canada DC 8 near Toronto International Airport. The 109 passengers and crew on board were killed and most of the bodies were burned or shattered beyond identification. Rackham also assisted in trying to identify the charred remans of people killed in a multiple vehicle crash on Highway 400 south of Barrie two years ago. Rackham, 57, is planning to start a photography business at his home in Pickering. ocieed- n nro- e- 370 Units of Blood Collected at Clinic On Wed.

Wesley Oake of Trinity became quite perturbed last week over the tragie earthquake in Guatemala that has killed thousands and is now threatening the homeless survivors with starvation. He made an appeal for funds during his morning service and the response was most gratifying. If others here would like to help, the church office on Church Street will accept contributions and send them along to either the United Church head office or the Red Cross. NEW LEADER - The Durham East Liberal Association has been informed that the new Ontario Liberal Leader, Dr. Stuart Smith, has accepted their invitation to attend the annual meeting in Eastdale Collegiate, Oshawa, on Thursday, February 26 at 7:30 p.m. He will speak for 20 minutes and then answer questions. This will be his first official appearance in the riding. That's two leaders who have come here recently. Bill Davis may be next, who knows? Must be an election comng. JUST MAKE IT - The miracle story of the year comes from Port Hope where the Junior C Panthers, after occupying the cellar all year, suddenly came to life near the end of the season and made it tQ the playoffs by the narrowest of margins. They wiped out Frankford in the pro- cess. It was so close that the OHA had to dig into their rule book to determine the result on goals for and against. George Cawker took over coaching duties and must have played a part in their comeback. SPEAKS ON RADIATION - Allan Lawrence, MP, will be discussing Port Hope's radiation problems on Channel 12 television, this evening from 7:30 to 8 o'clock. No doubt he will have some interesting observations on the subject as Ottawa seems about ready to provide some information instead of quietly hoping the issue will go away. BIG BROTHERS - A meeting that could result in a Board of Directors for a Big Broth- ers group here will be held at 8 tonight in court- room two of the Fire-Court building on Church St. The event has not be publicized too widely but interested citizens would be welcome, no doubt, especially if they would like to become part of the organization. EASTER EGG - A hen that laid an egg measuring 9/2 inches by 7/2 inches is in good condition now although she has probably reached the height in her experience of laying eggs. Mrs. A. Sul, the proud owner of the White Rock hen that laid the egg, said that although she is sure that one of her il hens laid it, she is not sure whieh one it was. Mrs. Sul said she plans to have the egg painted for Easter. At tne annual dinner meeting of the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce last Thursday evening, the 1976 officers and directors were announced.
