Nestleton United Celebrates Anniversary Nestleon United Church was built in 1900 and observed its 84th an- niversary in the present Church on Sunday morn- ing, October 28, at 11 a.m. with a very fine con- gregation on hand to help celebrate. The first Church was built 149 years ago. The weather was ideal and many were dressed in old-fashioned costumes for this Bicentennial service. Guests were warmly welcomed by the minister, Rev. Dale Davis our anniversary Helen Gougen faces autumn Helen Gougeon is in charge of what she calls '""the autumn of her life." With Fall just working its way into winter throughout the country, it was appropriate that Mrs. Gougeon talk about her own '"autumn" with a group of 100 or so women in Nestleton Community Centre last Thursday afternoon. The occasion was the Nestleton UCW"s Autumn Ecumenical Dessert and Luncheon and the guest speaker was writer, and CFRB broadcaster Helen Gougeon, a trim attrac- tive woman in her 50's who "got lost on her way here from Toronto." "I realize that with age comes a certain kind of freedom," she said, addressing an audience that was, for the most part, older than she. "We all have a 'rest of our lives' and we can all be in charge of our own rest of our lives." Mrs. Gougeon, who jokingly says she hasn't held a steady job since 1959, spoke mainly about her own career as a journalist, and as a mother. But she didn't start out thinking in terms of a career. When Helen was 16, her choices of work were limited to being a secretary, teacher, nurse or nun, and since she didn't want to be a nun, she opted for the secre- tary's title. '"'Besides,"' she quipped, 'wasn't I told that a good man would come into my life and take care of me?" She soon tired of her secretarial duties, how- ever, and landed her first job on a newspaper for $15 a week. "My mother told me jobs and men are like street cars - there'll be another one along any minute," she laughed. Her career has re- flected that philosophy ever since. Jumping from an obituary writers' position at the Ottawa Journal, Helen Gougeon has been the women's editor of Week- end magazine (where in 1950 she was making $75 a week. '"'My father looked at me and said, Helen, you're making a man's salary. Good girl."'), the CBC and now CFRB -- among other challenges. "I still like chasing fire engines, but I have learned to like the immediacy of radio," she said. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues.
