The summer months of June, July and August are Bowlathon winners GORRIE — Members of the Gorrie Parks Board have expressed their appreciation to all _the bowlers and sponsors who participated in the second annual bowl-a- thon. Jay MacLaurin was the lucky winner of the portable TV. Other winners were: Alma Hetherington, most sponsors; Mary Lou Sittler, second, Tim Keil, third. Ernie Cook, men's high total of nine games; Larry Pellett, men's high single; Tim McArthur, men's low game; Lorna McArthur, ladies' high total of nine games; Amy Stone, ladies' high single; Wanda Connor, ladies' low game. r,, alert drivers the worst time for accidents on Ontario highways, and deaths from traffic accidents hit their highest counts in those months. Although accident figures have fallen steadily over the past five years, Mr. Taylor said it is not a time for complacency. "The OPP will be using a variety of different tactics to reduce impaired driving during the summer," he said. "The portable breath- - testing device and the 12 - hour suspension will be used to their fullest." In a recetgtf message to all 4,200 members of the force, Mr. Ferguson said the popu- lation under OPP jurisdic- tion increases dramatically with the influx of visitors during the summer months. The police will be using a two-pronged attack, with continuing high-level en- forcement of the Criminal Code provisions against impaired driving and a publicity blitz to warn visitors to vacation areas of the possible consequences of drinking and driving. "Let me make it plain," Mr. Ferguson said, "wet don't want people drinking and driving. We don't have to put our lives in jeopardy by tolerating this sort of irresponsible behavior." Mr. Taylor added that the government is committed to reducing impaired driving and police forces in Ontario will be doing their part by taking positive measures to convinve drinkers to stay off the road. The OPp now, has 383 ALERT breathrtesting machines for roadside testing. If a driver fails the test, he is taken to the local OPP detachment for a breathalyzer test. A "warn" reading on the machine will result in the driver's licence being suspended for 12 hours. Last year the OPP used the 12 -hour suspension procedure 10,000 times. SKA TING SCHOOL—Angela Kerr of Wingham certainly was glad to have her test over with last Thursday after- noon at the figure, skating school held at the Wingham arena. Angela was one of the many children enrolled in the school which is run by Jacqueline Moore of Wingham. Tests were wrapped up last Friday and the skating school's fall term starts in September. Optimists' bike rodeo d The fourth 'annual bike rodeo of the Wingham Op- timist Club has been set for Saturday, June 2, at the Wingham 'arena. Again this year the club will be working in cooperation with the Wingham Police Depart- ment to help with licensing of bicycles. Both the rodeo and licence registration will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will follow basically the same format as last year, the club reported, with licences and registration at the door, a written test, bicycle in- spection by a police officer and a chance to ride through several skill -testing courses laid out across the arena floor. The club has purchased more licences as well as trophies, ball hats, ribbons and decals, so everyone will go home with something.

Ida Martin president of the PTA, presented the winner with his prize on Monday. The draw was held during the cake raffle Saturday af- ternoon.

Last week we enjoyed listening to Aleda Conn talk about her recent trip to Morocco. We learned. ,that this country in North Africa.certainly has a varied atmosphere and it would be quite an adjustment living in Morocco. Closer to home, Catherine Forsyth let us preview her slides of a recent trip to British Columbia. The beautiful scenery and in- teresting story about debuting in a TV series "The Beach Combers" all added to the effect of feeling like we actually spent the holiday with Mrs. Forsyth. The following Brownies received badges: Tammy Adams, Housekeeper; Amy Jo Cretier, Thrift; Alisa Curzon and Jeannine Elston, Baton; Danielle Heibein, Observer and World Friend- ship; Julie Lisle, Craft; Anita Massey, Gardener; Shari Mundell, Neighbor and Canada Badge; Angie Ortleib, Writer, Singer and Craft badges. Group 13 and C made Mother's Day crafts. Group A delivered spring flowers to the patients at the hospital and had a tour of the hospital. Groups A and B were given the information for their camp. Health forms must be updated and returned with the permission slips. charitable gifts under inr cone tax regulations. Dobations may be designated for speeail projects of interest to the donor. A landowner who has spent a lifetime preserving his property and its resources for future generations can depend on the conservation authority to continue the wise management and assure that the area will be main- tained in its natural state. This year's ,board of directors which looks after the day-to-day operation of the foundation are Tom Sanderson, chairman, Lorne Murray, vice chairman, Vince Judge, Dave Gower and Ian Deslauriers. To find out how you can become a supporting member of the Maitland Valley Conservation Foundation, inquire at the MVCA, Box 5, Wroxeter, Ontario. By Diana VanDenBroek and Barry Shaw Kindergarten—is getting ready for the cake draw and also is making things for Mother's Day. They have begun to talk about spring which they enjoy very much. Grades 1 and 2—are really busy getting ready for our program at the bicentennial play to fie held Wednesday evening at F. E. Madill. Last week we decorated our flower pots for our Mother's Day flowers. Grades 5 and 6 --have been watching a UCR entitled "Tom's Midnight Garden". We have been counting down Sacred Heart Mailbox_ the weeks until school is out and it is about six weeks away. Grades 3 and 4—en- tertained the senior citizens at the Armouries last Friday. We are making booklets on Canadian animals. Grades 7 and 8—have had five tests this week and are preparing for the upcoming exams from May 18-28. Some of the students are practising for the upcoming two -pitch tournament. Sacred Heart School hopes everyone had a happy Mother's Day. Agricrew is ready for summer seawn The Agricrew program soon will be on its way to serving Huron County far- mers with 1984 being its seventh year. The program is designed to provide summer employment to students with agricultural backgrounds, as well as providing extra help for area farmers. There will be hree crews working in Huron County again,this year and they will beg work June 25., Each crevinrl" "consist :t one foreman and three 'crew members. Each foreman will be responsible for the transportation of each crew member from a designated pick-up point to the actual work location daily. Each of the crew members will be between the ages of 16 and 24 years and will have had some agricultural ex- perience. An estimated 1,000 far - triers are expected to employ Finally this group of jet- setters heard from Marie deVos about her holiday in Fifi, Australia and New Zealand. It certainlywas interesting hearing about the different food, scenery and climate. We sure wish Mrs. deVos had thought about bringing some warmer weather home with her. We would have appreciated some higher , tempeftures this time of year. All this traveling over the past few weeks has, been made available for less than the price of a plane ticket and without the jetlag tool Other programs at the centre will be the foot clinic Thursday from 10 a.m. until noon. There will be two films May 23, 24 and 29 at the centre which will be en- tertaining and worthwhile to watch. The first is entitled "Louise at 99" and portrays the daily activities of an elderly person and shows her enthusiasm for life. The other film we will be showing is the classic comedy routine of Abbott and Costello, "Who's On First". Please phone, the centre for show times. ' Elmer llmbach df Lucknow will entertain May 24at10:30a.rn. Our first day trip of the year will be May 31 when we visit the Kitchener Stock- yards and Farmers' Market and have a full -course meal at Marian's Country Kitchen in Hawkesville.
