Rickard announced at the council meeting, Thursday. The . deputy-reeve said two repre- sentatives of the company approached him to inquire if the township would consider a company proposal to locate pea binders in the township near Bow- manville; The location which has been picked was zoned agricultural in the recent zoning by-law, which is at present in the hands of the Ontario Municipal Board. Council decided to consult the town- ship planning board for its opinion on the proposal. ' But in the meantime it was suggest- ed that council would write to the com- pany to inform it as far as they are concerned they would like to havé the industry in the township, and would do everything they can to have the in- The general feeling at council was that Darlington's industrial tax is only .09 and with the addition of the pro- posed new industry, the tax revenue could be increased considerably. i DUNNIES NOT MOVING TO OSHAWA Wren Blair writing to the Whitby Town Council has corrected an impres- sion given by an Oshawa newspaper story that the Dunnies were prepared to move to Oshawa if & suitable arena was built in that city. In his letter to the Town Council, Blair stated that the interests of the Dunnies in tha proposed Oshawa builds ing was for play-off purposes. "If the Oshawa Arens will seat: about 5,000 p then it would be worth our while to have our play-off games there, thin in the Maple Leaf Gardens," said Blair. "We are not contemplating any Doings DECLINE IN CONSTRUCTION Building construction in the Town- ship of Pickering continues to show a sharp decline from the -1968 figure. Up until the end of May last year, 181 permits had been issued for a total value of $2,144,900.00. To date this year, only 116 permits have been is- sued for building valued at $1,134,800. During the month of May, 48 permits were issued for a value of $399,000. Reeve Sherman Scott has based the decline on the shortage of building lots in the township. PICKERING ADULTS TO GET POLIO SHOTS Polio vaccinations will be given to the adults of Pickering Village at the Pickering Medical Centre, starting at once, There is no charge for this. Both Dr. Tomlinson and Dr. Oxenham would like to see every adult between' the ages of 20 and 60 vaccinated, The first shot must be taken in June, the second a month later a hooster shot is received some months later. Hours for being vaccinated at the Med- ical Centre are 9 to 12 noon any morn- ing except Saturday and Sunday or between 5 and 6 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday only. 0e, Doctors are concerned about the number of adults who have come down with polio in recent years. Be safe, vaccinate, "ae % EXPECT 1000 PEOPLE AT BROUGHAM SCHOOL CENTENNIAL The influx of an expected one thousand visitors will transform the hamlet of Brougham into a village on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Brougham Public School and Cemetery on June 20,and 21. Five hundred : invitations have been sent out. The hamlet will be gaily decorated for the event. 'The municipal office, stores and garages will be dressed up in coloured streamers and banners for the occasion. Pickering Township change from Whitby", Blair stated, Council agreed to spend $100 for this purpose. LARGE PRIVATE AIRFIELD UNDER CONSTRUCTION NEAR GOODWOOD The once-peaceful country-side on con. 3, Uxbridge Township, three miles north of Goodwood, is currently the scene of a large-scale earth moving project. Two farms, previously owned by Morgan Degeer and Jack McGilli- vray, will be the site of a modern private airfield. The promoter is Mr. Joseph P. Koblensky, of Markham. Although the first plane is expected to touch down on the new air strip next month, the entire project will not be totally completed for five years. Where cattle once grazed quietly over 260 acres of hills and valleys, giant tractors and bulldozers now bounce and bob over the slopes like oversized kangaroos. The equipment, six earth movers and three bulldozers, is the property of Mohawk Construc- tion Co., Toronto. All gravel needed for the construction of the two run- ways is available on the site. None has to be trucked in from private pits. The builder has received tentative ap- proval from the Department of Traps- port, Only light aircraft will be accommo- dated on the field. A large workshop hangar will be constructed and a sim- ilar clubhouse will be erected at a later date. Night flying will be per- missible. No complaints have been received from the neighbouring farm residents. Mr. Jan Kalkowski, a Polish World War 11 ace; will be chief instructor. He was a former instructor at Gillies Flying Club. in Buttonville, Markham Township. He started his flying car¢er! in 1982. He defended his native Po-! land and later fought in France. A member of the R:A/F. in the Battle of Britain, he personally shot down 112 German planes. He was wounded twice, was shot down over enemy ter- ritory and captured by the Germaps. He escaped from prison camp and re- turned to England, where he wasia- warded the British Distinguished Fly- ing Cross. .

SOME PHILOSOPHY Can scarcely wait to pass this tip along. to you readers. It is something I have known for a long time, but last night, at a party, I had it confirmed by.a.professsor of psychology. Keep reading, because this little hint is worth its weight in gold to you and your folks. A lady had remarked, in the party small talk, that she had a friend who was. always a delight to be with be- cause he knows every inch of his city and all the history back of it, and is forever surprising you with new in- formation. I piped to tell about a farmer, near Pilot Mound, who is a walking en- cyclopedia as far as hig own district is concerned. Knows every farm, every ravine and the source of every creek and river. "Most interesting man you ever met," I said. At this point, the professor said, "You know I haven't met either of those men. Yet I can tell you some- thing about them, just as certainly as if I'd known them all my life." I guess we all looked a little doubt- ful. Anyhow, the professor turned to me. Your farmer at Pilot Mound . . . he's well to do, a steady type of chap, never flustered, and he improves his position every year. His fields are weed-free, his buildings above the average, and he is known for his com- mon sense. He doesn't fall for every new fad, yet he he doesn't resist pro- gress Right?" "Dead right," 1 agreed, "you must have been reading his mail." The professor smiled and began to tell the lady next to me the style and dimensions of her friend until she cried,, "That's enough . . . you must have known him!" "No," said the professor, "but there are certain qualities in people who know their city or district inch by inch. These are men or women who have made contact with their en- vironment, In some it comes naturally. In others, it is acquired. It is either a mark of character, or it builds char- acter as most of us think--both at the one time! It's healthy in every way to make complete contact with your en- vironment. Improves youin countless ways. You ought to try it. Now, take this street we're on. . " « « WHITBY TO BUILD $250,000 HIGH SCHOOL Finance Committee Changes Mind After Meeting With H.S. Board Reversing its decidion after a private meeting with members of the Whitby District High School Board, the Fin- ance Committee of the Whitby Town Council, has recommended that pro- visiona] approval be given for a de- benture issue of approximately $660,- 000, for the construction of a new high school building in the Anderson avenue area, Whitby. The report was accepted without discussion by the Council, which also has a committee appointed to study the benefits or lack of them, in Whitby remaining as part of the high school district. " You know, he's right. I am sure of it. 1 have seen enough of that sureness-of-foot-and-thought in men like my farmer friend to be convinced. When I moved to Manitoba some years ago, I bought a couple of books on the history of the province and a few travel books too. Did me a lot of good. I still get lost once in awhile, but I'm not the dunderhead I used to be. Guess maybe I am making con- tact with my environment. Why don't you try it. Now--take that house you live in . .. | Blackstock | : Blackstock Women's Institute met in the Parish Hall, Friday evening with Mrs. John Scott hostess.

Continued on page seven District Churches Scugog, Manchester and Prospect Accidents are claiming many lives every day; but when they come right home, there is a much greater feeling of sorrow. And it matters not what the cause may be, whether it be a car or a tractor. We shall all miss Mrs. Hiltz of the Island, especially if we happen to be in the Hospital. I shall always remember her kindly presence when I was there, and her warm smile and cherry words as she entered our Ward. Our deepest sympathy to Hugh, and to all who are near of kin. Truly life and death are mysteries, and pain and joy walk hand in hand. All the more reason that we should live well. That we should walk with Christ. Wasn't it Isaiah who said that we are as frail summer flowers? The wind passes over us, and we are gone. Only the Word of God will stand for ever. With our new summer schedule for Sunday Services coming into effect last Sunday, the response was very gratifying. Prospect Church was nearly filled. Our Pianist for the Summer will be Joanne Mosienko, who was on hand to take over. Try and be with us sometimés Roxy Webster, as we shall miss your cheery smile. Some faces were missing at Manches- ter, especially little faces; but there were others, which signifies that the earlier hours suit some people, and at that the majority, and the later hours suit others better. Scugog Church wag filled, and there were many of our Summer Guests with us. There was only one regret, namely, that there was no Choir at any of our Ser- vices. Maybe, we will gather our forces togteher this week, and be right on hand to lead in song on Sun- day. It was very encouraging to see so many children at Church and Sun- day School at Scugog "Grace" Church. There were a goodly number of adults from the "Head"; and quite a number of the children from the "Foot". Truly going to Church is a habit, and it can grow on you. We would like to enlarge our Senior Choir on the Island, and in conjunction with our Leaders of Song, many of our senior girls and boys will be invited to come and help us. The pupils of our Pub- lic Schools on the Island presented a wonderful concert in the Church last Friday, with Edna Beckett and Mari- lyn Fralick at the piano, and with their Music Teacher, Mrs. Sandison conducting, and Joe Dowson presid- ing as Chairman. Our boys and girls have wonderful talent; and we are wise if we capture them for God. Sometime in the Fall, we would like Mrs. Sandison to bring such a Choi as she had last Friday, and lead us in u Church Service. Next Sunday the Junior Choir, under the leader- ship of Florence Fralick, will sing for us at the Morning Service; and the Senior Choir at our Evening Ser- vice. It will be Missionary Sunday, and Rev. L.. S. Albright D.D., a former Missionary from Japan, and the pre- sent Director of the Canadian School of Missions in Toronto, will be our Guest Speaker. A Special Offering will be taken for the Missionary Work of our Church. The Minister spoke on some phases of this work last Sun- day, and emphasized the practical projects that are being accomplished. We need more than prayer to carry out the work of the Kingdom. If our prayers are genuine, then our dol- lars will thcoming. Please pray bef about oy ering _on_ Sunday. andl then take your envelope and put at least two dollars in it, and bring it to God's House Sunday. You won't miss it; because God will bless you, and the Church will bless you; and the needy will never cease to thank you. Two hundred multiplied by two gives four hundred. We are looking for FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS for Missions next Sunday. The Scugog "Head" W.A. was Hos- tess to all our W.A.s on the Pastoral Charge last week Wednesday even- ing. You are to he congratulated Myrtle Manns in the way you con- ducted the Meeting. Prospect Ladies were in charge of the Worship, and Mrs. Cornish gave the address. Two of our girls, Bonnie Eden and Kaye Jackson sang "In the Garden", Mrs, Geo. Leach and Joan Aldred gave Readings. Everyone was pleased with the appearance of the Chureh, which has received a real face-lifting. A lovely social hour was spent after- wards in the Church Parlors. The at- tendance was good; but there were many faces missing. We would thank all who made such a gathering possi- ble. And then on Thursday the La- dies of Manchester met at the home of Mrs. Max Heidt, Oshawa. It was a wonderful gathering, in a very lovely setting. It was most generous of Mrs. Heidt to open her new home to us, and also to invite many of her neighbours and friends of Prince Al- bert to be with us. our new President was in charge, and also our new Secretary Gladys Arch- er. A regular supper was served by the Hostess and the thanks of all of us is hereby accorded to Mrs. Heidt. This coming Wednesday the Scugog "Grace W. A, will meet in the even- ing at the Manse, Prospect W.A. will meet next week Thursday in the Church, and the Guest Speaker will be Mrs. Grant Christie; and the theme --A visit to England. Remember also the Choir Concert at Manchester next Monday evening in the Church at Cubs and Scouts in gog "Grace" Church on Sunday June 21st at 11.16 a.m. We are fortunate to have lined up to speak to us Mr. Walter Harper, the Prov. Field Com. and Mrs. Frank Godly of Port Perry, the Commission- er for girls. There will be a meeting this week of the Leaders to plan the order of Service. Happy birthdays to Jim Gerrow, Bruce Heayn, Marie Aldred, Peter Hood, Hida Kreig, Bill Pogue and Murray Slute of the Island; to John Steer and Michael Woodcock of Man- chester; and to Kenneth Webster and Leonard Greenwood of Prospect, Our love and prayers to the bereaved and the sick, and a lovely week for all of us.
