0s) PA RN AE 8 -- PORT PERRY STAR ~-- Tues. December 13,1983 Crafts, cooking Ashburn Area News by Mrs. E. Heron The Burns Kirk Guild held their December meeting on Tuesday evening of last week, due to the very nasty weather, there were not as many out as usual, those who were not there missed a fine evening. Barbara Porter open- ed the meeting with everyone singing fav- ourite carols and after a short business period, Barbara introduced Hilda Schmidt of Brook- lin, who is a very talented craft lady- she showed us how to gather and dry flowers and grasses and then make beautiful cards and pictures. She also made silhouette pictures that were very attractive. Then there was a double feature. Betty- Jean Blythe of Brooklin gave a demonstration with her microwave oven. She told us how microwaves work and lots of tips about using the ovens. Betty-Jean has a unique way of laughing at her own mistakes and has every- one laughing and enjoy- ing the humor. The goodies she made, carrot cake, peanut butter and appetizers were passed for every- one to sample. Sometimes its nice to take a look back into the past, while reading some of the old news paper clippings we saw that 45 years ago last Sunday in 1938, Rev. Robert Simpson who was Mrs. Dr. John McKinney's father, was minister at Burns Church. His message for the day was taken from Romans "'Justific- ation by Faith'. Also we read that the guild put on a play that following week called "No Account David", so the guild was busy in those days too. Lovely favours from the new 'Country Mouse' store in Whitby were given to everyone and we wish Betty-Jean and Barbara William- son lots of success in their new business. There was a full house last Friday evening at the Community Centre for the Christmas con- cert. Moyra Griffin was the chairlady and the programe began with the children's nativity pageant with Tamara Downs reading the Christmas story. Barb- ara Porter, Harold ~ Fisher and Ronald Ash- ton sang a lovely trio. The 1st Ashburn Scouts put on a play. They operated on Santa but he got all better. The Ashburn cubs did a Christmas presentation and last but not least there was a cave lady beauty contest. Ken Brown, a cave man, was the host. Roy Porter was Miss Ashburn of 1983 and Ronald Ashton. Ross Batten and Art Mathews were the three finalists. We never did find out who was crown- ed queen. Christmas carols were sung between numbers play- ed by Reta Davidchuck and Santa arrived on time. Mr. and Mrs. David Humphrey "and daughter, Amanda of Deep River are spend- ing a few days with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Humphrey.
