Nursing Home News continued make it a beautiful indeed. When supper was finished Norman Samells presented the bride and groom with a gift from all the residents. He wished them much happiness. The gift was a matching set of sheets and pillow cases with delicate pink<rose design. Jim and Elsie were very touched indeed and expres- sed their appreciation. ~ After supper a quick trans- formation was made of the dining room by the staff. In no time it looked indeed impressive. The ceiling had been deocrated with pink, blue and white streamers and wedding bells on Thurs- - day evening by Penny Venn- ing. Maryann Vanham and Sharen Jones of the staff Social Club. To this was added a long cupboard cove- red in white linen and two candleholders with silver candles on either end. Two red roses in a white stem glass were in the centre. This was placed in the centre of the room near the front. Chairs were arranged in two aisles with ribbons to mark for invited guests of the bride and groom. All was in readi- ness." The guests started arriving at 7:15 and at 7:30 the ceremony began. Rev. Brawn, of the Port meal Perry United Church, conducted a most meaning- ful marriage cere- mony. The bride looked radient in a flowered pink and white street length dress. Her cor- sage was of matching shades of carnations. Her maid- of-honour was Grace D'An- drade in a navy and white dress with red carnation cor- sage. The groom wore a dark blue suit and a happy smile. His best man was Muray O'Reilly, his nephew, also in navy blue. Over 30 of the bride and groom's relatives and friends attended as well as residents and staff of the home. During the signing of the register the lovely tune 'Ava Mari" was played as well as Jesus, Joy of Man's Desir- ing," on the stereo. Following this the couple met with everyone and the room was rearranged for a more informal atmosphere. The bride and. groom opened their guts wnile tne kitchen staff served punch and then a most delightful buffet lunch was served. All the food was prepared by Mrs. Venning and her com- petent staff of the home. There were many photog- raphers busy during the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lafontaine, the owners of the home, were there. He was taking more pictures as well as his brother Paul Lefon- taine who was also accom- panied by his wife. The atmosphere was tingling with warmth and excitement. Grant Christie made a- very appropriate toast of good wishes to the happy couple and thanked everyone in the home for their contri- bution in making the evening such a success: The evening was topped off with the cutting of the wedd- ing cake. Everyone took some home to sleep on for good luck. The corsages and table arrangements were compli- ments of Eleanor's Florists. Reluctantly the evening came to a close. The bride chose as her going away outfit a yellow brocade, 2 piece dress and accessories. The couple went away for the weekend to destinations un- known. It was indeed the most exciting highlight of this Nursing Homes Life and we hope there will be more wed- dings in the future. It brings up a point to all of us that love still is the most powerful force in the life of mankind and that no matter what age we die at, companionship and a sense of belonging to someone who really cares for us is still the best medicine there is. God bless you Elsie and Jim Davidson. Mrs. Mintehe Phoenix was out Friday afternoon to a shower in Greenbank. Glen Hood was out on the weekend to celebrate. He and his wife's wedding anniversary. Grant Christie, Edna Pearcey and Herbert Vine were out for the day with their families. New admision to the home was Mrs. Jeffrey of Port Perry. Sunday was Mother's Day with many visitors and a special Mother's Day Dinner at the home. The foloral emblem of the Yukon is the hardy and abundant fireweed. Fire- weed is usually the first flower to appear in burned- over areas, hence its name.

Devereux, entertained a capacity crowd in the Community Centre. This evening that was sponsored by the Nestleton United Church women was simply delightful. This was my first opportunity to hear this tal- ented group but I assure you it shall not be my last. An alto saxophone solo by a young man was beautiful, as strains of Liebestraum follo- wed by Johann Strauss, Blue Danube filed the hall. The ladies of the church held a bazaar and served beverages at intermission. Luncheon was then served to the members of the chorus' before their departure. I, among the others attending this event are hopeful that in the near future we may be Nestleton - priveledged to have the G.M. chorus pay a return visit. I have been requested to report that the U.S.A. broad- casts in our area on C.B,N. which is heard over U.F. Channel 29 (Buffalo). This is an interdenominational pro- gramme and Christians, especially shut-ins would en- joy it. It commences at 10:30 am. week-days with "Manna," this is followed by "It's a New Day." The 700 club is heard on Saturday and Sunday night from 11:30 until 1 a.m. In a recent broadcast a young couple that are missionaries were being interviewed. They, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jones, spent considerable time in Africa dispelling 'demons? from within the hearts of fear ridden natives and replacing them with Christianity. Which you must admit is Exocism in it's PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 15th, 1974 -- 11 true sense. Many interesting people are interviewed daily on this programme and per haps many of our readers would find it most interes- ting as well as informative. The children in Black- stock school in grades four and five were treated re- cently to an unexpected les- son in the ancient art of Apiculture (keeping of bees). Mr. Charlie Sharpe of Caesarea who is an Apiarist, explained in detail the funct- ion of bees in general to the enwrapped children, some of which have never had the occasion to witness bees in their natural habitat. He had taken along a show case con- taing hundreds of bees to let the youngsters see for them- selves. After the lesson was over the classes arose and applauded and asked Mr. Sharpe if he would return at another time and show the bees again. A welcome home 1s exten- ded to Mrs. Charlie Sharpe who has been visiting with her mother who has been ill in England. We trust that her mother continues on the road to good health. On Wednesday evenings Mrs. E. Coulter of View Lake entertained twenty = five guests in her home. Friends from Lindsay, Janetville, Oshawa and nearby areas attended. The evening was planned as a Tupperware party Bul was more in the line of a old friends get-to- gether. At twelve thirty a.m. a group of pleasantly weary ladies departed for home with this thought in view, "how am [I ever going to awaken in time to get the kids off to school in the morning."
