Lloyd Ransberry of Enterprise Hill has something new in sunflowers. The plant started out in the customary way but something happened to it, so in- stead of one large sunflower with a huge head at the top, he now has what ap- pears to be a sunflower bush with nearly 50 blooms. He thinks a groundhog must have gnawed on the original plant, knocking some of the seeds off the head and they reseeded themselves. Whatever happened, the end result is most unusual. U.C.W. The first meeting of the fal season was held in the United Church Hall with 18 members present. Mrs. Georgie Scott, the president, opened with a quotation with reference to school opening, "A mind untried, O God, give me strength to measure that mind." Mrs. Ruth Jennings was acting secretary. Allison Jarvest and Barbara Van Vierizen gave an interesting report on their stay at the United Church Camp Quin- Mo-Lac on Moira Lake, which they enjoyed as they participated in the crafts, camp-outs, swimming, hiking, and they showed a thumb-nail sketch of their counsellors. Correspondence was received from the Bay of Quinte Conference, "Festival of Faith" on October 13th-15th at Four Seasons Hotel, Belle- ville, a letter from James Somerville, President of Compassion, The Area Chairman, Mrs. Norma Lawson, informed the group of the Fall Rallies at Wesley on October 4 and Apsley on September 25. Mrs. Marjorie Levant in charge of Drugs and Alcohol is to be the guest speaker. The Annual Meeting will be at Mark St. on January 30, 1979. Guest speaker will be Rev. Donavon Brown on Healing Faith. Names are requested from members who will work at Presbyterial level. Thank you notes were read and prints of hasti-notes sketched by Mrs. Larry Lamb were for sale. Mrs. Addison Scott reported on the success of the "Get a'cquainted" tea. It was decided to hold the Annual Tea and Bazaar on November 18, and a donation was made to "Compassion." Mrs. Murray Smith, as convenor of worship and program, read from Matt. 19-21. A skit entitled "The Different Story" was presented by Mrs. Addison Scott, Mrs. Ray Porteous and Mrs. Murray Smith. Based on Matt. 13:14 "the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hidden in a field, which when a man hath found he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field." Lunch was served by Mrs. Wes. McMahon's group. A number of local people attended the Orono Fair, which bas been much improved since they have the new arena to display their most interesting and attractive exhibits and also an area for the Miss Orono Fair pageant and the programme of the day. The agricultural area was the scene of many show animals and the midway was the popular spot for the younger set. Visitors this week with Mr. and Mrs. Frank White were Mr. and Mrs. Clark Williams of Nestleton, Mrs. Linda Syer and Mr. and Mrs. Haig Bothwell of Peterborough. The first ladies' bowling of the season started on Monday, with a good attendance, although the first averages are for calculating the handicaps. Each Monday will be ladies' bowling day and according to the enthusiasm displayed today it should be an lfteresting season. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Therian (nee Linda Carr), visited with Linda's grandmother, Mrs. Violet Carr on Monday. St. Paul's After a month' holiday services commenced again at St. Paul's with lay minister Ted Hodgkinson conducting. He chose John 15 and said verse 5 is the key quotation with the parable of the branch and the vines. Jesus said "I am the Vine", so you and I must be the branches. Each must delight in Jesus and draw close to become part of the Vine and thus bear fruit. All want to be loving, to be fully and completely human. In order to complete ourselves we must need to know God and thus we can succeed. Many of us think of ourselves as being basically good. Real concern for others is necessary. By looking at civilization we can see the characters of people. There is still the same lust for power because human nature doesn't change much and people are inclined to hurt each other. Pride is one of our main weaknesses and even Paul described himself as wretched until he was truly rooted in Christ then he had peace and love, so unless we consider ourselves as the branch and Jesus the Vine there is little christianity in the world. The leaves are colouring beautifully, and many Colour Tours are available from our travel agencies and also we're thinking of fall clothes so Elaine Phillips, of Elaine's Boutique has our many answers in her beautiful display of wools, velvets, suedes, etc. in her home on Highway 7A, approximately three miles east of Bethany. Two more of our young mothers are putting their talents to valuable use as Mrs. Carolyn Porteous is doing dress making and dress alterations in her home. Also Mrs. Sylvia Trull, who was in partnership with Carolyn last year, is branching out in a teaching area in dressmaking at Sir Sandford Fleming. Sylvia has been sewing professionally for ten years, V.I.P.

E., Oshawa Telephone 263-2241 Refreshments and Door prizes so we wish both ladies every success in expanding their given gifts and also in offering their services to the public. Another season of bowling has started for the Golden Star Senior Citizens. George E. Clark, the president, welcomed the group and hoped all would have a happy, healthy term of fun and good-will and he then called on Mrs. Irene MacDonald, the oldest member of the bowlers, to throw the first ball and she won a strike without any effort. The high lady on Wednesday was Hilda Bigelow with a score of 401 for two games. Runner up was Gertie Clark with 382 score. High man was George E. Clarkand runner up was Earl Parrott. Bowling will be every second week and on October 12, games will be played against Cobourg teams. Women's Institute Seventeen members and one guest met at the home of Mrs. Ted Spencely for the September meeting. Thank you notes were read from Addison Scott and Mrs. Frank White and a letter from Ross Davidson regarding Institute Record Books was read. It was decided to purchase a fire-proof box to store the Institute records.Leaders for the Senior Training School on "Needlepoint" are Mrs. Robert Jarvest and Mrs. Ray Porteous. This year's delegate to the Area Convention in Toronto will be Mrs. Ray Porteous. The Programme was in charge of Mrs. Ralph Pfoh, convenor of Family and Consumer Affairs and she commented on the motto, after which a very informative tour followed at the Arc Industries of Lindsay. It was wonderful to see how - the handicapped managed to adapt themselves to the process of making various types of chain work. When one visits such an industry it makes us appreciate our God-given talents and makes one realize what people are doing for those less fortunate than ourselves. Mrs. Ina Palmer's birthday was celebrated by her family. Mr. and Mrs. Ed McGlenn of ,Peterborough had Sunday lunch for her and then Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Palmer had the traditional birthday cake for her and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Palmer and Mr. and Mrs. Reg. Palmer participated in the birthday activities.

This year marks the 33rd anniversary of Canada Savings Bonds, whichahave become 'ecognized through the years as one of Canada's most popiaar personal investment. There have been over 47.1 million applications since 1946, with total sales during that period amounting to over $52.6 billion. 0f that amount, more than $8.6 billion has been purchased through the payroll savings plan insituedin hosa ndsof Education with Terrýy Hawkins The ( anadian Statesmran, Bowmanville, September 20, 1978 il business establishments for dealers, stockbrokers, trust their employees. and loan companies and credit uions. Canada Savings Bonds play a dual role in the development of Canada. They help individual Canadians save, on a regular basis, towards achieving family economic goals and at the same time, play a major role in the Federal Government's debt management program, thus providing a means whereby every Canadian can become directly involved in financing his country's growth and future development. Last year a record $693 million worth of Canada Savings Bonds was purchased through the payroll savings plan by more than 825,000 individual purchasers. Canada Savings Bonds are available to all Canadians, either through the payroll savings plan where they work or by individual purchase for cash or by instalments, at their local banks and a ut h or iz ed i nvyestm e n t Have you ever told your child that°you'areproud of him? Whether that child is now 2 years old, 16 years old or an adult 30 years old, have you taken the time to communicate your feelings of pride to them? Have you expressed that you have always been proud of them, you are still proud of them and always wiii be? Children do not have to be perfect for a parent to have pride in them. All children do things which make parents angry, concerned and at times anything but proud. But they do some wonderful things too, and that's when you take the time to express your pride. It is not bowever; the only time you do it. You can incorporate it into any discussion at all. You can even do it when giving a child a "pep talk". Something like, "You know I am very proud of you, but I'm a little disappointed in what you did today," can carry a great amount of weight if not used too frequently. Children want their parents to be proud of them, but what's the use of doing good things if the parents never show they are impressed. We have a great ten ency in our society to focus on a person's faults. It seems at times we want to put all our energies into correcting a person's shortcomings rather than saving some effort to praise the good things. If we could focus on the positive a bit more we often would get better results. Criticism, if used well and controlled is a necessary technique every parent must use. Praise is also a technique whichshould be used. Just as one shouid <not over'criticize, one must not over praise. To praise everything whether it deserves it or not is to make a joke of the process and it rings of phoneyness. However when one sees a job weli done it's a good idea to recognize it and say you are pleased. There is always one major problem in praising people and that simply is the fact that many people do fot know ow to accept praise. They get embarrassa and wili even reject the praise. It is reavly common for teenagers to do this. One can overcome this however, by giving the praise in ex remely short bursts and by fnot making a big fuss. A positivecomment such as, t4you did a good job on the dishes tonight", or "thanks for your help today" are long enough. If in return one gets a negative comment back; it has to be ignored because nothing angers you more than baving your sincere compliment rejected. If you are prepared for the rejection, then it won't be so offensive and therefore easier to ignore. Given some time the young person will learn that the praise is sincere and without strings and will learn to accept it. That's when the true joy of a compliment will be felt. Stress Fire Preven tion The week of October 8-14 is Fire Prevention Week in the Town of Newcastle. Fire chief, Jim Hayman, says nothing special bas been planned for this year - "It will be pretty routine," he said. As in other years, senoois and businesses throughout the area wili be inspected to ensure they are fire-safe and school groups will be given tours of the Fire Hall. Of course this is not the only week in the year the fire department stresses fire prevention. For instance, it takes the opportunity to set up displays at local fairs and firemen conduct courses such as the one being taught to the hospital staff at the end of this month concerning fire precau- tions and what should be done your best time to cable up.
