a 14 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Jan. 21, 1976 Cartwright Activity Center and we hope to complete half a dozen or so for our planned bazaar. The youngsters are trying their hands at any- thing - mostly flowers made of wool or pipe cleaners and gingham, Two young girls are learning to crochet Tune- sian style - which involves a long crochet hook with a hook at each end. : It you have any ques- tions concerning this Activ- ity Center, please call either Liz Catty °' 986-4222 or sions as follows: Mon., Tues. and Wed., - Nestleton - after- noons from 12:30-3:30 p.m. evening from 6-10 p.m. Thurs _and Fri., - Caesarea - same hours as above. The Nestleton target of a completed Afghan throw has well began and we hope to stimulate more people in coming out to either learn crocheting or simply to join us with their own work fof somg lively gossip. he Caesarea target - toilet roll holders knit with acrylan wool supplied by the project - is also well begun News The Elders of Burns Church and their wives en- joyed a delicious dinner to- gether at the Church on Monday evening of last week orior to the regular meeting, This is the first time the wives have been included in this beginning of the year dinner and was certainly enjoyed by all who were able to attend. On Wednesday evening of last week the ladies Bible Class journeyed to Port would provide a meeting place for the well-establish- ed community members with those who have only recently moved out here from the cities nearby. This was not just a pious hope but will soon prove to be an una- voidable necessity since we cannot hope to gain socio- economic stability and a measure of political matur- ity unless we all feel we have a contribution to make to- wards community life. \ It is sad to see good intentions fail so dismally. But - it is not too late to reverse the decision. At the moment, it is planned to move the project to Nestleton for three days each week, from Monday to Wednesday, and to Caesarea for the rest of the week, Thursdays and Fridays. However, should enough Blackstock residents decide that they would rather part- icipate than have Blackstock drop out for lack of atten- dance, the project would gladly give it a second try, on a once-weekly basis. So beginning with Jan. 19, the Cartwright Activity Center will be holding ses- you're a farmer lanning for the future, By Liz Catty We are very sad to have to announce the closing down of the Blackstock sessions of the ' Handicraft Activity which began with such prom- ise last December. It is hard to understand why such a. project as this failed to attract a following in a country district where handicrafts are the tradition- al wintertime occupation of many, young and old. Black- stock village has two com- munity meeting places, the Township Hall as well as the former municipal offices in the Recreation Center. What's more, the program notes, published before the start of the project in this newspaper, left the choice of activities open to the partici- pants but promised such things as discussions on timely topics and even guest speakers to give tried advice 'on problems which puzzle not just the rural, but also the urban population. Knit- ting, crocheting, macrame, and all sorts of other crafts could be learned - free of charge and with supplied materials! It was forecast that this kind of activity will gladly answer questions. any 8, ATI a TE os Sa Ry, pra ---- Perry to spend a social time with those who are living at the Nursing Home.

But as Coun. Reg Rose pointed out, that's not the only problem. "Even if there is enough water avail- able," he said, "it must be brought from the end of the existing system to the site of the new industry. It could be only a few hundred yards of a mile. Who is to pay for this extension of pipe to the site?" he asked. vice. It was a special Mission Day and Rev.
