(photo by Milvena Erickson) Home built plane off to airport Thursday morning Goderich motorists were perhaps somewhat startled to find an airplane moving along one of the community's main thoroughfares. If the sight was startling, Or perhaps annoying, to those who found them- selves tied up in slow moving traffic along Victoria Street, the event represented the high point in a five-year labor of love for the Owners of the craft. Fred Bruinsma, 230 Jones Street, and Syd Bullen, 104 Gibbons Street have in- vested all their spare time fOr the past five years in the projebt of building their own plane, The orange and white two seater "Cavalier" was constructed in Mr. bruin. sma's garage at a final cost of $5,000 in parts and material. Neither man was prepared to put a value in dollars and cents on the long hours of work it took to complete the craft, With a special escort by ,local police the plane was taken from the garage on a flat-bed truck and carried to nearby Sky Harbor airport. Completing the strange parade was a line of cars con. taining friends and relatives who had gathered to see the project completed, Final mechanical checks on the plane Are now being carried out at the airport and it IS expected the craft will have Its first test flight soon with Lloyd Mfield at the Controls, Exeter Centennial 1, \ 1,i r * ,• • 440'4 Celebrations . 4„ SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Al, 4 Come Any Way' You Want . . .

The students are part of a class attending a two year Junior Vocational School and during the winter months had raised $1,000 by holding a Fun Fair and pop bottle drive.

This was one of several; camp-outs held along Lake Huron last week and super- vised by volunteer teachers from the school.

The students did the cooking and fried the rainbow trout they had caught in. the Bayfield River at their campsite.
