Wayne Parker, 28, of NQrth Shore does it. But he has some help from a little one-horse motor called a "Whizzer." Of course motor-assisted .: ,, ,.:> bicycles are not that uncommon. Factory equipped bikes have been axiving from Europe for some years now. r Parker's motorized bike, however, is a bit different than the sleek imports. His is an old bike called a Schwinn Cycle Truck, and its kind hauled mailmen and delivery boys around cities in the 30s and 40s. "The baskets could hold 200 pounds," said Parker who was flagged down recently for an interview on the South Shore. The bikes without the engine were very popular, he said. And how did he come across this rare find? "My dad bought it from a guy that retired out of the Navy when I was 12," he said. When Parker was a junior at West Brcmerton High, he gave his dad $15 for the bike which by then was showing its age. The eager teenager tore it apart and then replaced the bearings, spokes and wheels. "Luckily a guy had a set of rings," recalled Parker. After the bike was reassembled, the finishing stroke was a coat of green paint. From the side, Parker's cycle-truck is pretty odd looking. It has a large 26-inch balloon tire in the rear and a 22- or 24-inch tire in the front to accommodate the large carrying basket. A high seat and extended handlebars enables a man to comfortably peddle the normally 26-inch boy-sized bike. Sometime in the 4Os, Parker said, Schwinn came out with the "Whizzer" engine kit which would fit any 26-inch bike frame. Along with the engine, the kits included a gas tank, a large sprocket for the rear wheel, a long drive chain, and controls that attached to the handlebars. To start the engine, a lever is adjusted, releasing the compression on the single-cylinder, and Parker starts peddling. After getting up a little speed, the lever is adjusted again, sealing the cylinder, and presto- the "Whizzer" takes over and Parker gives his legs a rest. i Menu for Grapeview School Happy Christmas Vacation Puget Sotmd National Bank The hometown bank.

Proud parents, iloward and l)cbbie Bilderback, said their first baby weighs eight pounds nille t)unces, ;.led is 20½ inches long. Grandparents of the "little butterball with lots of black hair" arc Robert and Evelyn Seaboh: lloward and Deborah Bilderback; and great-gr:md- inother Mary Kelch. .lira and Cindy Seabolt will be serving cake and ice cream to celebrate the first birthday this Christmas of their son Justin. Their h:llpiness is that Justin now tips the scales at 16 pounds, a whopping gain from his birth weight of two potmds last year. Proceed with caution in disposing of the Christmas tree. Pushing the fire into the fireplace can be hazardous. It could explode like a firebomb. A good test is to bend the needles of the tree. If one breaks in half instead of bending, the tree is extra dry from the early cutting and the glorious days in Ihe warm house. Ted tlowerton, operator of the Mason County garbage collection station on the Sand I Hill Road, said the trees may be brought there for safe disposal. He notes, "The trees must be cut in small pieces so they don't take too much room." Freebie visits for the family at the Seattle Aquarium at Pier 59, Waterfront Park, are scheduled for January 11 through January 13 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday). The hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The request is that every 10 children, or teenagers, be accompanied by an adult. Call 625-4358 for more information. The Kitsap Audubon Society's annual bird count on December 17 listed 90 species of I _ birds. These were seen by about 40 counters, divided in seven parties, for the bird census over an area of 170 square miles in Bremerton and the county. Compiler Jim .Galbraith was not .aware of the wild swans on Mission Lake during the countdown, and plans to visit the lake to propertly identify the large, graceful birds. He said these could be either the whistling swan, or the rare trumpeter swan. A warning to hunters is "hands off." Galbraith warns both swan species have been placed in the protective habitat category. $ ::!:i 7:i:i:i: :i!!:i!;ii:/::/: >: Reg. Price $1095.00.
