Whitby Fiee Press, Wednesday, September 22. 193.,PagO il, ..... V By Mike Kowalski Whitby residents' efforts in helping victims of last summer's disastrous flood in the Anerican mid-west have not gone unnoti- ced. Prior to last week's Town coun- cil mîeeting, Mayor Tom Edwards presented citations to two local gr oups which participated in the food relief effort. The Whitby Chamber of Com- merce was commended for organizing a tractor-trailer con- voy which donated hay to Mis- souri farmers. Members of Emmanuel Refor- nîed Church were saluted for helping clean up damage in the Quad ities area of Illinois and Iowa. Chamber of Commerce pro- sident Ly nn Woods accepted the chamber's award along with Don and Beverley Rogers and Bob and Mary Jean Heron. The two couples came up wth the idea of transporting ha to flood-stricken Missouri. Originally they had one trac- tor-trailer -- donated by Rogers' Signet Signs company -- and a donation of one Ioad ofhay. But that grew to include six tractor-trailers, each carrying 12 to 15 tons of hay. The chamber solicited funds to assist the convoy with fuel and travel costs. In an unrelated effort, mem- bers of the Emmanuel Church congregation responded to a cal for help from the church's head- quarters in Now York. The Whitby volunteers spent one week in the Quad Cities area, near the upper end of the Mississippi River, rep airing houses and doing general clean- up work, said Pastor AI Honken. (The Quad Cities includo Davenport and Bettendorf Iowa, and Moline and Rock Island, Illinois.) Those takin g part wero Anno Duivestoyn, Henk Hoogkamp, Mark Post, Ken Reinsina, Anne Vanstavern, Neil Verbeek, Joanne Verhoog, Liinda Verhoog, Tom Vorhoog, Henry Wielinga and Harr Zylstra. I addition to presenting the Town citations, Edwards read a letter of congratulations from Ontario Citizenship Minister Elaine Ziemba.

Members of Whitby Lodge #2407 of the Loyýai Order of Moose, a fraternal service organization that began in the U.S. in 1888, have been holding their first meetings at a hall in downtewn Whitby, but expect their own lodge home "probably before Christmas," says secretary Bruce Norton. «We have 100 mnembers now, but once we have a permanent home, it will take off,» says Nrowho was an Oshawa odge member for 15 years. Many of the Whitby members came from the Oshawa lodgo which now has about 1,500 mem- bers. Th overnor of the nowly for- med Whitby lodge is AI McWhir- ter. Ho was a member of the Oshawa Lodge for only five years but quickly rose in prominence and became junior governor there last year. Accrding te Norton, McWhir- ter fits the bill as head of the new lodge in Whitby. "Ho wants te get at things and g et them done,» says Norton. "Ho doesn't like te, sit back and lot things happen." Norton says that leadership style bedes well for the new Whitby lodge that consists of relatively young members. «We hope te, get everything open" and rolling before Crist- mas,» says McWhirter, an iron worker at Darlington Steel. McWhirter and members are currently planning events te be held in the next year. Already scheduled is a dance on Oct. 16 at Hoydenshore Pavilion, with music b y Chaser. Cost is $17.50 per p orson (tickets at 6684570 or 644-2644). Moose activities are designed for the public good. The more than 2,300 Moose lodges are encouraged te sponsor com- munity service projecte «t% make their communities a better place te live and rear children.» They support the March ,of Dimies, Heart Fund, Epilep'sy Foundation and several eth or ornizations and work on bealf of crippled children. They are active in promoting trafrlc safety, and organize or sponsor activities for children. The Loyal Order of Moose be~ in 1888 in Louisville Ken- te where Dr. John h~enry Wilson organized a grouP Of friends into a fraternal order that prSpered, with members lodges established in fHinois and AL McWHIRTER Indiana. But growth stopped, and the order began to fade until in 1906 there were only three lodges remaining. Then James J. Davis, "an iron puddler from the biast furnaces of Pennsylvania and Indiana, was introduced to the fraternity. He saw the potential or growth by providing an incentive for the "working men" to join -- he conceived the idea of Moose- heart, a 'Child City' where sons and daughters of deceased mem- bers would receive care, educa- tion and training in a vocation. Ho saw fellowship as more than fratornalizing, and said the Moose could bring together mon "who would be espousod to teach- infg of service." More lodgos wero established *s nsuan ln accept ed Se atientsapinint avilabei " Emurgnc clas accpted (dutring office Izours) 701 ROSSLAND RD. E.

Today the City of Children has more than 100 attractive buildings surrounded by spacious green lawn. Mecseheart is a home and schecl te benefit deceased mem- bers of the order, their mothers and other fatherles or motherless children. Mooseheart is also headquarters for the organiza- tion that has lodges in Canada, the U.S. and Britain. In 1921, Moosehaven, a com- munity for the aged, was founded r on the banks of the St. John's River at Orange Park, near Jack- sonville, FIa. frviedin scurity and comfort forage Mesemembers and their wives, Moosehaven is known as the 'City of Content- ment!' Those asked te, join the Moose, which signifies the strong protec- tor and great provider (of youth and seniors), ta.e part in a «fairly complex" ritual of about an hour's duration. "Mostly it explains what the Moose stands for," says McWhir- ter of the private ceremony.
