No one looked at any one plse. They each rose from the sand and went silently home, to meditate on what they had seen. Several of the shaken spec- tators were from the United leaving to go home on Sunday, James Kowalski, of Buffalo, N.Y., said, "I saw it, but from didn't see it, because no one will believe me anyway." "But you really saw it?" he was asked. "No", he said. Now the questions remain. they see something that looked ike a monster, but was some- ing else? Were they having hallucinations? Was all this the result of some kind of mass hysteria, as some claim was true in the case of flying sau- cers? The answer to all these ques- tions may now lurk in the murk of Lake Ontario. The Oshawa Times is looking for two things: 'first, someone who will admit seeing the monster; second, a picture of the beast. Scooter Rider Severely Hurt A 17-year-old motor scooter rider, Daniel J. Powlenzuk, of 746 Douglas street, Oshawa, was rushed to Oshawa General Hospital Sunday afternoon suf- fering severe facial and other injuries following a collision be- tween his machine and an auto at the Simcoe and Ritson road south intersection.

Hayden Roberts, 19, of Division street, called The Oshawa Times early this morning and reported that he had seen the monster only minutes before. This is the first daylight sighting. Roberts seems quite con- vinced that the monster does exist. He describes it as about 40 feet long, with a dark back and light belly. His description parallels that of another witness who described the monster as having a head with sheep- like features. Again the monster ap- peared close to shore at the Darlington Park. It is not yet known whether the mon- ster is to be considered dangerous. of creating a disturbance. | By RAE HOPKINS | No doubt, all our readers {have heard the tale about the {man who built a boat in his |basement and found when he |had finished he couldn't get it {out and had to dismantle it-- {well how about this: {| At 8.30 a.m. Saturday, Clarke | Sheppard, of 475 Browning ave- |nue and his pal, Dennis Craw- ford, a man he met over a {broken TV set, hefted an air plane out of Mr. Sheppard's basement. That's right, Mr. Sheppard built an airplane in the base- ment of his Apple Hill Subdi- vision home. The plane is unique in more ways than just being built in a {basement It is a French model {Emeraude (meaning Emerald in English) and is the first one of its type to be built in North | America. | WORKED 18 MONTHS Mr. Sheppard, a plant engi- neer at Duplate of Canada Ltd. here and his TV repairman friend worked more than 18 months to complete the two- seater, 1,200 - pound aircraft. They estimate work hours in The aircraft will be equipped with a two-way VHF radio. It will be a two-tone blue, and white, when it makes its maiden flight. BUILT MODELS Until about five years ago, Mr. Sheppard used to build small gasoline-driven model air- craft and flew them in the To- ronto model airplane club com- petitions. When he moved into his present home, he started building airplanes and the Emeraude is the second one to be taken out of his basement. It was constructed from a set of blueprints, imported from France. All its parts were made by Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Craw- ford -- the materials for many of which were imported from other countries. A new type of covering, Cec- conite, which the builders say will outlast the aircraft, was used to cover the aircraft's fuselage and wings. By cutting a five-foot-square hole at the rear of the Brown- ing avenue home, Mr. Shep- pard, Mr. Crawford and five assistants hefted the 22-foot, four-inch, fuselage out of the ba t, across the back yard Mr. Sheppard's b t total- led 2,100. In about two weeks time, the Emeraude, powered by an 85 HP engine will make its maid- en flight over Oshawa. Charlie Parkin, formerly of Oshawa and now the Kenting Aviation Ltd. chief helicopter pilot, will circle Oshawa in the plane CF-RDL, which are its registration letters allotted by the federal 'Department of Transport, at approximately 120 miles an hour. Car Hits Truck Near Coboconk LINDAY -- A car driven by Stewart Jarvie of Bowmanville sustained an estimated $300 damage Thursday night when it was in collision with a truck just north of Coboconk. OPP Const. Jean Des Laurier who investigated said the truck driven by Thomas Stiller of To- ronto, had just finished pulling a second truck out of a ditch. and into an awaiting moving van. Then the workers hefted Stage Is Set For Concert The stage is all set for the first in a series of four summer band concerts to be held at the McLaughlin Bandshell, in Me- morial Park, Thursday night, concert director Bernard Tier- ney, said this morning. Comedian Billy Meek, of To- ronto, will headline Thursday's concert, to be played by 12 members of Local 149 of the Toronto Musicians' Association. The concerts will be under the joint sponsorship of General Motors of Canada Ltd., and the Radio and Transcription Fund of the Recording Industry. Thursday's first concert in the series will feature a number of selections from the smash Broadway Musical, "My Fair Lady" the Guen Miller music. The constable said Jarvie told him he thought the truck ;|lights were approaching him. When he realized the truck was 'partially blocking his path, he :|jammed on his brakes.

(AP)--A Rye man, angry at the amount of taxes on his home, has dropped five conspicuous lines to let every one know about it. The lines are clotheslines stretched from the second storey of Dr. Webster Stover's home. Hanging from the lines are 45 assorted garments and rags. A garbage can drooping from a balcony adds a final touch. Stover, 59, former head of Arnold College in New Haven, Conn., and now head of the Albert Teachers Agency in New York city, lives there with his wife. "We have a 34 - year - old home that cost $8,000, and now we have to pay over $1,000 in taxes just for one year," he said. "The taxes have gotten way out of hand." Stover said the house is assessed at $22,200 this year, and the assessment is due to rise to $24,200 Jan, 1. There's no law against Stover's rag and clothing dis- play. But townspeople are not too hapy about it. Stover said some people have stoned his house, went to the visiting team, Lou Welsh and Jim Wood winning over Lindsay's Terry Evans and owner. --Oshawa Times Photo Steve Phelp, 6-1, 3-6, 9-7. planted Ku Klpx Klan sym- bols on the lawn and laid wires to attract lightning. the 26-foot, six-inch wings out the same hole. The two parts were transport. ed to the Oshawa Municipal Air- port, where final assembly work is currently under way. WALL REPLACED Because of a city bylaw, which states that no bricks, or cement blocks shall be laid after noon-hour Saturday, the work- ers had to work fast. They did not wish to contravene any city bylaw -- just to get an aire plane out of the cellar. It took about half an hour to get the plane out after the hole was made in the wall. The blocks and bricks were quickly replaced and no city bylaw was contravened. Because of a slight eye diffi- culty, Mr. Sheppard, who is a trained flyer, does not hold a pilot's Icience. However, Mr. Crawford, the aircraft's owner, does. They plan to take their prize to Edmonton on a holiday Jem before the weather gets ad. 'Anna' To Bring Flash Floods MIAMI, Fla. (AP)--Hurricane winds lashed the British Hon- duras coast today and danger- ous flash floods were forecast for a wide area. Anna, the season's first hurri- cane, hit at a spot close to the Guatemala-British Honduras border. "All interests around the Gulf of Honduras and epsecially along the Guatemala and nearby coastal areas should continue precautions against tides of 10 feet and hurricane force winds," the weather bu- reau said. ; "Heavy rains will cause dan- gerous flash floods . . . through all of British Honduras." a, Many Groups Pay Visit To Museum During the past winter, Mrs. N. W. Gower, curator of the Henry House Museum, gave a series of talks on the museum and its contents to a number of local groups and clubs. Such interest was sparked by these talks that a dozen or so clubs have already visited the mu- seum at Lakeview Park and a further series of such visits are scheduled. Among the groups visiting the Henry House during June were: The Tyro Boys' Club of North. minster Church; three Brownie Packs, the 4th, 9th and 14th and one Cub Pack, the 5th Osh- awa; The 50-50 Club; and che Astra Group both of Simcoe Street Church; The Evening Group from Whitby United Church; and classes from Clo- verdale, Hilltop, South Cour- tice, Coronation and South Sim- coe street schools. Some 20 blind people also visited the Museum in a group, coming fram various points such as Peterborough, Green wood, Whitby, Bowmanville, Burketon and Oshawa. The group had their own guide with them and Mrs. Gower lowered the restraining ropes across each doorway so that they might enter the rooms and 'see' the exhibits by means of touching them. Mrs. Gower reports that in- terest in the Henry House Museum is even greater this summer than last and that she is kept busy every day answer ing questions from interested lo- cal visitors and tourists, /
