ELE tr a AS AAS LIS 3 er =a : SS on a poCRons k iy. nnd -- SE -- SNe 20 - PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, Dec. 13, 1972 | Scugog News| On Wednesday, November 29, the ladies of '"'Grace" U.C.W. served 29 ladies of the "'Head" for their Mystery Sister Supper. Many thanks to Clara Dow- son for the arrangement and Christmas tree also to Betty Reader and' Marion Carter for a varied evening of fun. After the delicious dinner a few business items were covered. Elizabeth Stich- mann gave a review of a very busy year in activity and Reta Wilson gave finan- cial report. Clara Dowson read appreciation cards from Linda Eastwood, Carl and Mable Graham Friendly Visitors, Scott Mission Fred Victor Mission, Earl Reader family and Dave Moore. Next year will be our 25th anniversary in March. We Thank You | am indeed grateful to all Reach Township Ratepayers who supported me at the polls on December 4th During my term of office | will endeavour to serve you as | Have done in the past. Armour McMillan would like ideas for celebra- ting it. Bonnie Gerrow will main as president another year. The revelation of Mystery Sisters and gifts was very interesting, especially the gift to Mrs. Maude Travell. The fun program consisted of contests, games and thought provoking stunts. On Sunday, December 3, Rev. Pogue assisted by Mr. Cliff Love received baby Sherry Lee Ballingall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. lingall and Robt. Gordon Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Taylor, for baptism. During the service, we were reminded that it was the first Sunday of Advent, a period of preparation for re- for POV VV VV VV VV VV VV VI VIV VV IVI VII VU SOVOVPIVIVIIPIIPIOIIOIVIOIOTOIOIOOIOOOOOTN deeper things that bring peace of Spirit. Christmas time comes as a Symbol that Hope is not, dead. On Sunday, December 10 the theme was a continued study of Hope. A thoughtful story was given to the young. Over 20 years ago a family in New York City decided to spend about $25,000 in pre- senting a symbol of Hope to the United Nations at Christ- mas time. This consisted of a 16 ft. candle made with tons of wax and a rope sized wick. The outside was designed with the flags of the nations and an inscription of Hope. Lit only at the Chirstmas Season, it might last for 25 years. As it was almost completed, someone care- lessly dropped a cigarette and soon the whole project was a mass of wax and paint. (A very symbolic story). At this time of year we think of God as humanizing himself through Jesus and we ask "What is God like?"'. We have all fallen short of God's purpose for us but Christmas reminds us that God has not given up and gives us Hope beyond death." "There is a story about humans setting their stan- dards by other humans. Once a man who blew a factory whistle, frequently called the telephone operator to get the correct time. the. operator became curious' and asked one day who he was. Upon hearing his pur- pose, she announced that they always regulated their clock by his whistle. We still need God as our Guide. Sunday night the weather * cooperated with a wintry scene when a capacity crowd went to "Grace" Church for the annual Christmas Con- cert. We were pleased to see the platform well filled . with familiar children's faces as well as many newcomers and a great number of little ones. We trust this interest will continue after Christ- mas to encourage all those who are trying so hard to build , a 'more satisfying church. The entertainment was filled with Christmas songs, amusing ditties, recitations, piano solos and duets, skits, guitar solo, Nativity Scene and active demonstration by a varied group entitled "If 1 were not a little girl." (This was an inspiration two of the girls had brought back from Camp Quin-Mo-Lac). Those taking individual parts were Lynette Jackson, Debbie McCreight, Sandra Pearce, Bruce Prentice, Louise Hope, Linda Samells, Jenni- fer Pearce, Stephen Jack- son. Ernie Appleton, Lisa Hospital. Galante, Tim Pearce, Shelly - Freeman and Tim Ash- bridge. The group numbers were equally well done. The superintendent, Don Ashbridge and his staff with several teenagers are to be congratulated for the Sunday School effort. We also owe appreciation to Mrs. E. Beckett, Mrs. E. Freeman and Mrs. H. Redman and so many others who helped. OW kser evry TE NURSING HOME Two new residents were admitted to the home during the.week. They are Messrs. Henry Snowden and William Hainsworth who were trans- ferred from the Port Perry There were no discharges. We had an unfortunate experience on Tuesday eve- ning when there was a power failure at the Home. All arrangements had been completed for the Church Service by Pastor Payne and his group from the Port Perry Baptist Church and the lights failed just as they were about to begin. It was a sad disappointment to everybody present. We hope now that Pastor Payne will be able to hold another service in the near future. With the approaches of Christmas the residents are beginning to think of -the Festive Season. Mrs. Jean Armstrong of the Nursing staff has a group making wreaths and the other Christmas decorations to celebrate the occasion and already it looks like we will have a really nice holiday when it comes around. The weekly Bingo con- tinues to be a very popular event with the residents. Thursday evening we again had a splendid attendance and the Prizes which were kindly donated by Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Peters were won by: Shaw Hamilton, Edna Pearcey, Marge Letcher, Mrs. Marlow, Walter Chid- ley, Russ Brown (2) Minche Phoenix and Mae Clark. In spite of the cold weather many of the residents were taken out .for dinner or supper by their friends and relatives. These included: Grant Christie, Nellie Coyle, S. Hamilton, Edna Pearcey, Jim Bell, Mae Clark, John Doupe and Abe Johnson.
