i ) Welcome New Owners Bethany General Store Nine Brownies Invested at Salvation Army Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 7,1983 BETHANY (Intended for last week) Miss Catharine Beer was guest of honour at a miscellaneous shower held in the United Church Hall on Friday evening. Cathy's wedding to Mr. Elio Fracalanza of Peterborough takes place in Northminster United Church, Oshawa, on December 10. The best wishes of the community go out to the young couple as they make their home in Scarborough. On Sunday, November 20, the morning congregation of Bethany United Church enjoyed a lovely vocal solo with guitar accompaniment by Miss Andrea Filson. At a special evening service, some members from Pontypool joined Bethany congregation to hear Andrea preach. She is in training for the diaconal ministry (commissioned (commissioned minister) and we wish her every success in her chosen vocation. Once again the Bethany General store is changing hands .with the new owners beginning to serve the community on Monday, 'November 28. More details later. Mr. and Mrs. W. McMahon and Mr. Bill Bundscho, Lindsay, were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. A1 Johnson, Oshawa. Residents of the east end of the village may have been startled recently to see a church literally "on the move"! The explanation is that a church building at Fowlers' Corners has been closed for some time. Recently, it has been purchased for the purpose of providing a convenient centre of worship for the residents of the Girls' School, north of Bethany, and moved by Pollard Movers to be erected on that property. It is gratifying to know that the old building is still to be used for its original purpose rather than being converted into some more residential or commercial type of building. Bethany Brownies held a most successful Bake Sale, Tea and Tupperware Party last Saturday in the United Church Hall. We are happy to report improved health for some of our residents. Mrs. Gloria McGill is home from hospital. Mrs. Abe Hofstede, who with her husband was seriously injured in a car acc ident two weeks ago, is able to be home. At time of writing Mr. Abe Hofstede is still a patient in Lindsay Hospital. We sincerely hope that his will be able to return home in the very near future. Mr. Tom Ward is a patient in Civic Hospital. We h ope you are soon out of there, Tom ! Mrs. Violet R'.itchie, Toronto, was a weekend guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. McMahon. Also at the McMahon ho me for a musical evening Saturday were Mr. and Mrs. E'.verett Brown, Orono, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Mairs, Lindsay, M r. and Mrs. Robert Sisson, Bethany and Mr. Dave Masters, Pontypool. Mrs. Viola Thorndyke and her daughter, Mrs. Shiirley Couch, Toronto, are enjoying a two week vacation in Florida. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Bill Staples (nee Liaura Mahood) whose marriage took place on November 4 in Omemee United Church. Bill and Laura will be living in the former home of the late Mr. William McCullough. We welcome them to the village. Another happy 'even' in the Staples family was the release of Mr. Lewis Staples from Toronto General Hospital. iHe was able to participate in all the excitement of his nephew's wedding! The premature snow storm of November 3-4 resulted in a number of traffic mishaps i n the area. The only serious injuries incurred were those; sustained by Mr. and Mrs. Hofstede who were involved in an accident on Highway 35. Mr. and Mrs. Hofstede have built the lovely new solar-type home in the village. We wish them both a speedy recovery from their injuriés. We express our sympathy to Mrs. Viola Thorndyke, daughters and grandchildren on the passing of Viola's father, Mr. Harvey Gray. Mr. Gray had reached the grand old age of 96 and had made his home with Viola for many years until a couple of months ago when he became a resident of Springdale Nursing Home.

Among the many area wells to fall victim to the very dry summer was the one at the United Church Manse. After several weeks of having to seriously ration their use of water, often having to rely on the use of neighbours' laundry facilities, the situation has been corrected! Mr. Bob Ruth followed the procedure which has satisfactorily relieved several wells of their water shortage - namely lowering the existing well by a few feet and installing a screen. Thanks to his ingenuity and the installation of a new pump in the Manse Rev. and Mrs. Lindsay, Brad and Matt are revelling in the first adequate supply of water they have had since coming to Bethany ! !

A recommendation passed by a committee of council on Monday states that the indoor pool and squash courts in Bowmanville Bowmanville will remain open Friday, Friday, December 23, Tuesday, December 27, and Friday, December 30. Normally, the centre would be open for a halfday only on Friday, December 23 and Friday, December 30, while December 27 would be a holiday. The general purpose and administration committee was told recently that the cost of opening the Centre for two additional days during during normal Christmas vacations vacations will amount to just over $900. Some revenue will be available available from users of the Centre to offset that amount. "If we are going to provide facilities, we've got to be prepared to meet the public demand," said Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard. However, Councillor Ivan Hobbs questioned the demand demand from the public and suggested that the town only received one written complaint concerning holiday holiday hours at the Fitness Centre last year. Since a population of 30,000 produced produced only one letter of complaint, Councillor Hobbs questioned the need for additional hours. . Councillor Marie Hubbard Hubbard noted, however, that she had received numerous calls concerning the need for longer hours at the Centre during holidays. Director of Community Services, Bud Fanning, added that he and his staff had also received a number of verbal requests. While the recommendation recommendation from the committee would extend holiday hours at the Fitness Centre, no recommendation recommendation for additional additional hours at the town's arenas has been made. Councillor Diane Ham re suggested that the public has an opportunity for family family skating at other arenas On Sunday, Nov. 6, following Remembrance Day Services, Legion Branch 178 and the Golden Legionnaires Glee Club were presented with a photocopier donated by Savin Canada Inc.
