The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 22,1983 11 Tractor-Truck Pull to Take Place Saturday At Thistle Valley Park sports will enjoy a tractor pull. After their first visit, most spectators are usually asking when they can see the next competition in their area. Former drag racers and stock car drivers are often among the competitors who have taken up the challenge of tractor pulling and Roger points out that the entire family can enjoy this sport. The COTPA president describes describes Bowmanville as an important centre for tractor pull competitors. "I would say Bowmanville is the heart of tractor pulling in the region," he explained. He added that there are about 10 serious tractor and truck pullers here. And that doesn't include the many spectators and pit crews. Tractor pulling, he says, is a sport thafrequires teamwork. While it is possible for an individual to build an entire modified tractor from scratch, most competitors need help from others, such as the mechanics who work on engines which can go up to 500 cc in size. Roger estimates that local competitors can take part in approximately 26 pulls per year. Of that number, there are about 20 pulls in the immediate area. This weekend, tractor pull A grand total of$1291,21 was raised by Waverley Public' School students recently in an annual spell-a-thon sponsored by the RedCross Society.

"It's the fastest-growing motor sport in the world right now," says Roger Cochrane, president of the Central Ontario Tractor Pullers Association Association in the modified tractor tractor division. Roger explains that the sport began in the United States as a result of rivalry among farmers who wanted to see which machine and driver was the best. In thé early days, a simple sled was pulled and spectators climbed on board at pre-arranged intervals intervals in order to supply the weight. Today, the sport makes use of a special weight transfer vehicle which places more weight on the ground as the tractor advances down a track. And while farm tractors still compete in many events, special modified machines designed especially for tractor pulling seem to put on the most spectacular shows. Roger Cochrane, owner of Jamieson Tire Ltd., became involved in this sport about three years ago, He says almost everyone who is interested in motor Senior Citizens Close Season With Potluck Bowmanville Senior Citi-' ' zens' closing meeting for the current season was held Tuesday Tuesday evening, June 14, at the Lions Centre. It was a most enjoyable event, and the Potluck Potluck supper greatly enjoyed by all. After a warm welcome had been extended by President Marion James, a few items of business were dealt with. Following this, Alanna Cole delighted her audience with her singing, and led the group into a hearty sing-song. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Roy Norton, who has resided here since 1978. He commenced by showing a film made in the USA showing what-to-do and what not-to-do in assisting a blind person. This was very humorous and 'down to earth, but very helpful for those of us when uncertain what to do when the occasion demands. Mr. Norton said how much he and his family enjoyed living here. He had found much friendliness. He had formerly been a mechanic, and operated an excavation, trucking and construction business in Scarborough. In 1972 he began to lose his sight, and it was then that he became became involved with the CNIB. He has addressed many gatherings regarding the CNIB, and has been Vice- chairman and adviser for their publicity department for the Durham region. Referring to the many opportunities opportunities available to the blind through the parent organization, organization, he has learned typing, braille, done much public speaking as to what is offered in courses, talking books, film strips, etc. He had received his seeing-eye dog Omara about a year ago, and had trained at a school in Morristown, New Jersey, USA. Because of the condition of their roads and sidewalks, he said it was like heaven to return to Bowmanville, and many were his experiences. All were greatly interested in seeing Omara, and how she lay at her master's feet throughout, until he rose to address the gathering. He spoke of the great help Omara was to him, and the fact that in the USA there are eleven Certified Dog Training Schools. In the near future, the Lions Club will open the first such school of its kind in Canada. He spoke of how these schools are funded, and how a comprehensive training session session is carried on for three months, by very dedicated people. Ending his talk, Mr. Norton spoke of the many things available to the blind through the CNIB. He paid tribute to Mr. Les Langs, a guest (accompanied by his wife) who haa been for many years a canvasser for the CNIB. He thanked God for the help and encouragement of his wife and family, and many, many good friends, Queenie Fletcher, Press Reporter, fans and spectators who might be new to the sport, can enjoy the annual Bowmanville Tractor Tractor Pull which is slated for this Saturday, June 25, at Thistle Valley Park.

Wesley ville Church service at Welcome on Sunday morning, June 19th, was conducted by Rev. Gordon Rutherford and the theme was a tribute to father. The music was led by the junior choir who sang "Hallelu" with instrumental accent by Stephen McHolm and an arrangement of the Lord's Prayer accompanied by Barbara Croft ana Ruth Kellogg with guitars. The children's story made clear the existence of things not seen or touched by use of an electric fan to produce wind which can be felt as the Holy Spirit can. Rev. Rutherford's sermon spoke of God's love as Jesus described it and we understand as we feel the love of a good earthly father. He spoke of the influence of fathers on their children using his own father as an example. A basket of iris, lemon lilies and peonies made a lovely floral offering. The offering was received by Glen Thompson Thompson and Bill Beckett. Communion Communion will be served next Sunday as well as Sunday school awards presented.
