Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 18, 1979 5 E;aster Egg Craàfts at Bowm.-anville Library Last week at the Bowmaniville Public Library, young artists tried their hand at decorating eggs for Easter. Here, Mark Bruce concentrates on the delicate job of cutting a hole in an egg with a pair of scissors. The egg-decorating session was held last Thursday afternoon so that the colorful eggs would be ready just in time for Easter. Panorma of the library basement shows that a large number took part in the project. Remaining photos show ordinary white eggs on their way to becoming 'works of art. PONTIAIS MD DIDKS LIE NEVER BEFORE. Th e remarkable front-wheel-drive 1980 Pontiacs and Buicks are here! Pontiac's 1980 Phoenix and Buick's 1980 Skylark areie w Totallv nexv! Neat and handsome to look at. Smooth and quiet to ride in. With lots of room for five people. Part of this spaciousness is accounted for bv mounting the engie transversely requiring less space ... and by front-wheel dri've, miirizing the need for a large floor hump or tunnel in the passeniger area. Front \vheel drive pays oit in other ways. With the heaxviest parti of the car; the engine, right over the driving wheels, and with the driving xvheels also doing the steering, a car is well-equipped to handle the hazards of \\et roads rnuddv shoulders and snow v drivewýavs. Fr-oiii-i'lieef di'e is a rabbher MacPhersôn strut front suspension helps give the car the feel of a big-car ride, while rack-and-pinion steering offers the driver quick, decisive control w~hen nipping through traflic or sipping mnto a parking spot, WHAT ABOUT FUEL ECONOMY?
