A large turnout required us to set up two extra tables, and for those of us who attended, it was an evening to remember. We were entertained by our musical guest before and after the meal while preparations were made. Very enjoyable. Grace was sung, with Win Ashworth at the piano, we then enjoyed a delicious meal. Our meeting opened with " O Canada." Our theme for the meeting was Bicentennial. President Marion Wiseman gave a short display and talk on the Ontario flag which we found very interesting. Our business area of the meeting was kept very short, to allow more time for the program. Our entertainment for the evening was provided by a newcomer to town who with his wife have taken over "Bev's Floral Creations." Derek Dickenson, commonly known as Del and Alias "York -shire Lad", had as many props .as he has names, and the music he gave us was the organ, plus" his voice humor- our ditties, and jokes, plus hats, wigs, hair brushes - (just to brush the sides). Having just observed the anniversary of "D" Day, he played many old familiar war songs with a lot of humor thrown in. Then he got into the songs we knew best and asked us to all join in, well there were plenty of off key voices, but the volume was sure there. It was one of the shortest hours I have ever enjoyed, and from all the comments around the hall the feeling was unanimous. Thanks again to the "Yorkshire "Yorkshire Lad" for bringing a lot of life to the Seniors. Talk about a "Tough Act to follow" Mayor ' Garnet Rickard as our speaker and next on the program, certainly found that to be true, but he came through with flying colours. Garnet spoke to us about the early settlers in the area like the Masseys, Baldwins, and others and how they had left their mark in our history. Education, transportation, electricity, water piped into homes, allowing us to come in from the cold with our indoor plumbing. All of us remembered our old car or the poor roads and cars, length of time in travel. He couldn't see why any one would want to go back to the good old days, when more progress has been made in the last fifty years, than any other generation. R was a speech that brought back a lot of memories, and pride that perhaps some of us in our own small way may have contributed to the progress. progress. President Wiseman thanked Mayor Garnet Rickard, Mr. Dickenson for their contributions contributions to a most enjoyable evening, evening, to which we all agreed. Meeting closed with the "Queen". After the meeting stickers and pins courtesy Provincial Government, and the Municipal Government and passed around by Marion Wiseman and Mayor Rickard were very much appreciated. The winner of Bowmanville Museum's "Guess What? Contest" was Jesse Packer, a young student at Bowmanville Senior Public School. The two runners-up in the contest were Mrs. Mary Howell, Toronto and Peter Schamerhorn. Peter Schamerhorn came up with the most unusual answers among all the entries through his use of such answers as : a dog's hurdle for a shoe scraper and a shoe horn for a seed sower. OPP Warns Against Drunk Drivers As we approach the summer summer months of 1984, drinking drinking drivers on our roadways increase the possibility of injury or death in motor vehicle collisions.

Open daily 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. vince of Ontario 26,440 times. In 1,512 fatal accidents, accidents, they killed 491 times, that is 32.5% of all fatal accidents. accidents. The drinking driver that kills is usually a weekend drinker who drives the highways between 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., but they kill more often between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. Their favourite nights to kill are Friday and Saturday, followed followed closely by Sunday. Early Saturday morning (between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m.) the drinking driver killed 17.4% of all their victims. victims. They also prefer certain certain months, July and August, August, then October, September September and June. They have certain holiday weekends, the Civic Holiday and Thanksgiving Day weekends, where they cause more' deaths than at any other holiday period. And who is this drinking driver that kills? In most cases, the driver will be a male, age 26 to 35 years, followed closely by males 16 to 26 years. He will prefer a provincial highway (38%) over urban roads (32.7%).County and Township Township roads and private property roads account for the remaining accidents (29.3%). Drinking' drivers do kill themselves more than any other person, particularly in the age group of 26 - 35 years. Passengers' in vehicles vehicles who are killed are younger, usually 15-19 years. Obviously, the best way.to avoid being killed in a car accident is to not drink and drive. The drivers who do drink and drive will die more often and in more accidents accidents than any other person person in the vehicle. If you do survive the collision, you are most apt to kill an unbuckled unbuckled passenger. Allowing people to drink heavily and drive home places your neighbours, friends, and families at risk of becoming a traffic statistic. statistic. The Peterborough district district saw drinking drivers kill three times last weekend. Drinking and driving makes everyone potential potential victims. If you think that drinking drivers kill only people from other families, other people's friends, or in other neighbourhoods, you're wrong ... and you may be dead wrong. .Everyone has a right to demand safe travel throughout Ontario. Part of that right is preventing people who drink from driving driving on our highways. We can all take action against drinking drivers.
