Explains Tougher Rules for Minor Hockey Bowmanville Midget Coach William Stacey chats with Referee Instructor Ivan Locke of Oshawa following last Tuesday evening's explanations by Mr. Locke of the rule changes in OMHA hockey this season. Many of the new rules and changes in rules are designed for safety and elimination of injuries to players. Enniskillen News Thanksgiving Sunday also embraced our annual Thank- Offering Service on a bright and beautiful autumn day for which we were grateful and, from the pulpit, through our minister we welcomed an almost capacity filled sanctu- ary which really means appro- ximately 160 worshippers. Besides the local gentry were some visitors i.e. Evelyn Cunningham, Tom Pearson (with the Pascoe family), Freda Ashton (with Meta Read), Myrtle Tamblyn (with the W. Bowman's), Eileen Van Nest (with Jessie Sle- mon), Sheryl Strenge (with the R. Ashton's). The first delight to be enjoyed physical- ly by these folks were the brand new comfortable pews then the mental treat of the enchancing beauty created by the aristic hands of the decorating committee (we shall not detail names here but e6 ness our simcere apprecia- t,.,a for their successful effort), who used colored leaves, flowers gourds, real fruits and vegetables pouring forth from a cornucopia and- placed on the piano, Commun- ion Table and every available niche, nook and cranny. Two lovely baskets of flowers placed at the altar, as a memorial, by the family of the fate Doris Lee. Our very own minister was chosen to bring the special Thanksgiving sermons - the children's story was about a handicapped girl in a wheel chair who thanked God when she was able to look out the windows and Rev. Bigby urged his listeners to remem- ber those who can not look through the windows of Life and to thank God that we can. The Sermon title was "Gra- titude for God's Help" which Rev. Bigby based on the Bible Lesson from Luke of the supper at Simon, (the Phari- sees' home) with the sharp contrast between the V.I.P. Simon and the sinful woman almost like a comparison of "The good man and the bad man." He explained vividly the discourteous attitude of Simon in his anger towards Jesus and the diplomatic manner in which Jesus handl- ed this situation. Our minister ponderingly asked if we too see and treat Jesus by our words and actions like the opinionated Simon who did not regard Him as Saviour who loves all or like the Woman with ber alabaster and ber Courtesy, sacrifice faith and love. His plea was for his congregation to give our best and receive God's grace and gifts. Junior Church was in the care of Jean Ashton. The Sr. Choir of 9 and leader gave their musical message in their resounding Anthem "Come Ye Thankful People, Come!" Through the bulletin and from the pulpit the Session and congregation extended deep sympathy and God's blessing to Allan and Diane Werry and family on their recent bereavement who in turn thanked all on behalf of themselves also Brian and Lyn Lee and family for kindness and sympathy to them in their difficuht time. Congratulations were ex- pressed to Eric and Jennifer Bowman on their wedding with a special welcome to Jennifer who is one of us now. Rev. Bigby told briefly of the Joy they experienced in their exchange of churches across the border last Sun. He hoped it was the beginning of many exchanges in all areas of Church work.

In spite of various reasons for many who could not be in two places at one time there was a happy group in attendance. The Social committee convened by Ruth McGill and helper Margaret Ashton do wish at this point in time and space to say "Thank you" to all who assisted in any way and as the list is legion we hesitate to mention names individually. As relatives and friends assembled in a cosy, informal atmosphere, Ruth McGill in her usual well-organized man- ner appeared as chairwoman to start the party off by inviting all to sing the old familiar song "The More We Get Together." The Mistress of ceremonies' remarks, t.iough brief, had humour, good advice anld food for the mid.

Everyone joined Ulah Cham- bers at the piano in a sing-song of old favourites. Another elocutionist Gladys Ashton read "Thoughts of Yester- year." Margaret Stainton as always, was entertaining in her reading off "Stuff and Nonsense." Jennifer's and Eric's fellow choir members and leader sang two selec- tions, "Never on Sunday" and "Sweet Violets" and music- ally invited the special couple by singing "We Want Eric and Jennifer" and escorts Allan Ashton and Don Rowarr guided them to the improvised stage. A pretty corsage and bouton- niere, fashioned bv artist Velma Griffin, were pinned on by Nvargaret Ashton. A poem, arranged by Shirley Draper, was read by Alma Rowan and an accompanying gif t of table and chairs set was presented by A. Ashton and D. Rowan from the Community. Expressions of appreciation and an open invitation to ail to visit them in their farm home were given by En-ic and Jennifer. Ail joined in singing 'For They Are Jolily Good Fellows." Lunch included a treat by Ella and Wilfred Bowman of ice cream. An impromtu recitation of one of bis original impromptu recita- tion of one of bis original poems by our poet laureate Mn. E.R. Taylor was seasonali in its expression of "Thanks," Especially to the Ladies. Wedding Anniversary Party Wedding Bells rang 35 years ago for a local Lass Alice R.
