He won with, a computer controlled blade pitch windmill. His brother David built•the computer system. ' SH windmill places. first. in Expotech '82 at Humber College A windmill, designed and constructed by South. Huron grade 12 student Mark Perry, earned him first place in the Mechanical Technology divi- sion of the B sixth annual Ex- potech '82, Thursday and Fri- day at Humber College in Toronto. The computer controlled blade pitch system sets it apa-t from conventional windmill power systems. A swash plate, driven by a twelve volt direct current motor controls the blade pitch. The addition .of a micro - (computer, designed and built by Perry's older brother David, enables the mill to pro- duce a constant amount of power byeontrolling the blade pitch motor. Data on wind conditions for the computer is fed from a tachometer and anemometer also located on the windmill. Most important, the com- puter will shut down the mill in high wind conditions that might otherwise damage it. Gas Not `.■oc lly As Illuslr oted Perry began the project on the first of January to provide power for electric heaters .in the family greenhouses. Since then, he has logged many hours during machine shop class and after school, on weekends and during the March Break, buildingand testing the 1200 watt generator. Nicknamed "The Suburban Turban" the generator and mill were relatively inexpen- sive to construct using discarded auto parts: Perry's efforts earned him a first place prize of $200 among the six entries in his division of. the technical ex- position. In addition to demonstrating and discussing his project with the six judges at the exposition. Perry sub- mitted two written progress reports and descriptions of his project prior to the fair.

E. $UMMIRS Attend Cancer conference Mrs. Al Cocquyt and Mrs. Elmer Summers represented the Lucan-Biddulph Cancer Society at the mini conference and information day, held at the Shriner's Mocha Mosque Loudon on May 12. This was sponsored by the Patient Ser- vices Comm. of the London Middlesex Unit of the C.C.S. The guest speaker for the afternoon was Dr. A.J. Gilchrist of the London Clinic, whose topic was, "What is Cancer?" which was il- lustrated with slides. An in- formative question period followed. The morning ses- sion consisted of talks by con- veners and chairpersons of the different facets of the pa- tient services provided by the Cancer Society. The con- ference was chaired by Mrs. Jackie Hill chairman of the Patient Services Comm. of the London Middlesex Unit. Mrs. Margaret Howell "Co- ordinator of Volunteers" for the London Clinic, outlined her work which was being responsible for the people who look after rides to the clinic for cancer patients and if pa- tients have no one to accom- pany them, provideescorts and to see that volunteers are there to serve them coffee. As you know there are many volunteers with the Cancer Society and as a tribute to the people who give their time and understanding for such a worthwhile cause, Mrs. Howell concluded her talk with this poem, entitled "Fantasy Island". Many will . be shocked to find, when the day of judge- ment nears that there's a special place in Heaven, set aside for volunteers. Furnish- ed with big recliners; satin couches, and footstools. There, there's no committee chairman, no group leaders or carpools, no eager team that needs a coach, no bazaar and no bake sales. There will be be nothing to staple, not one thing to fold, or mail. Telephone lists will be outlaw- ed, but a finger -snap will bring, cool drinks and gourmet dinner, and a rare treat fit for a king.. You ask: "Who'll serve these privileged few, and work for all their worth?" Why, all those who reaped the benefits, and not once volunteered on earth.

Church news At the Granton United Church the Rev. Elwood Morden was in charge of the worship for the sixth Sunday after Easter entitling his ser- mon from Solomon "The Message of Springtime". In .the country where these verses were written, winter meant an abundance of rain. The book of Solomon is made up of songs and poems to ex- press moral precepts. In these verses he is singing of the glories of Springtime. Or- dinary language is inade- quate to express the inner rapture we feel when the cold and bareness of winter gives place to the warmth and beauty of springtime. Spring is the very presence of God Himself. In the children's story Rev. Morden told them how impor- tant oil was in our lives, just as it is to machinery to make it run smoothly and last longer. In life many bad tempers and frayed nerves could be saved if oil was used at the right time. 1. oil of a cheery disposition and good humor. 2. oil of apprecation. 3. oil of sympathy. When a person has problems of any kind we can show that oil of sympathy. It all makes the machinery of our lives run more smoothly, said Rev. Morden. , An announcement enclosed in the church bulletin. Plow- ing Match Theme "The Seed - Our Hope". The red curved line represents the Bible. The word of God branches out in- to the hearts of men. 1. Each church is asked for a dona- tion. 2. Each individual is ask- ed for at least $1.00. In this way, if each church member of every denomination gives their $1.00 and each church a general contribution the cost of the church booth will be met. At St. Thomas Anglican Church the Rev. Greg Smith, Rector of St. Thomas con- ducted the service of morning prayer. The first lesson was read by Betty Ann Herbert and second by Jim Hodgins. In the children's time the Rector told them about the Children's Festival which is being held on Sat. May 29 at St. Paul's Cathedral London and practiced the song "Celebrate God" with them, which is the song they will be singing that day. In place of a sermon Rev. Smith showed a slide presen- tation on the Primates World Relief Development Fund. Referring to the second lesson the Rector said, "We love because He first loved us, He who loves God should love his brother also, for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God Exeter designer in London furniture show For the second year in a row, Exeter area native Deb- bie Etherington is par- ticipating in the London Sym- phony Orchestra "Interiors" series.
