A top secret huge mu- nitions plant was nearing completion on EglintonAvenue and it needed thousands of female workers. Those who were hired soon found out that their job was to make bombs and other types of ammunition for the war effort at the GECO factory. This 364-acre factory with its 172 buildings was Canadas largest munitions plant. Barbara Dicksons just released epic book Bomb Girls reveals the day to day experiences of these women and was referenced in the recent TV show of the same name. Barbara Dickson will be the guest speaker of the Lake Scugog Historical Societys November meeting. This meeting takes place in the basement of St. Johns Presbyterian Church on Queen St. in Port Perry on Thursday November 19 at 730 p.m. The public is cor- dially invited to hear this dynamic speaker discuss her findings of the book and the TV show. Bomb GirlsTRADING APRONS FOR AMMO Thank you Marigold Dear Editor I want to take the time to thank Marigold Travel and express how great a job they did planning our recent trip to New Zealand. The itinerary was perfect and they did a wonderful job with the paperwork. It is another reason for all of us to shop locally. Thank you Laura and Marigold. Bill McKee Port Perry Sweet ending Dear Editor On behalf of our President Marilyn Trunks and the Board of Directors we wish to thank you for the great coverage for the Pine Ridge Garden Club that you published in the October issue of the Focus. There were over 75 members and guests who attended to sample the many yummy desserts after the judging was complete. The Speakers talk was very interesting and informative. Good coverage is essential to our Club as monies raised are used for plantings in the community. One such area for the last year is overhauling the gardens at the Museum.
