Some still subscribe to the Port Perry Star and scan its pages for familiar names. Newer _ residents will forgive us if we men- tion some of these names at this time that come to my attention: Mrs. 'Elva Martyn, formerly of, Conc. 6E and now in Extendicare Nursing Home in Scarborough, (the mother of Harold Martyn); Mrs. Ada Pearson, the mother of Joan Aldred who visited the Island and the Redmans from her early youth, now a resident of the Port Perry Villa. The former Gibbons sisters who spent several summers at Port View Beach, Flora (Miller) Muffitt who spent most of her youth on the Island, especially at the "Head" with the Rodman family and is now residing in a Toronto Nursing Lodge due to years of a prolonged illness which she has faced with great courage, hope and cheerfulness. Then there is Ida (Woodley) Britton. Her grandparents, the early Thomp- sons lived across from the "Head"' museum church. Ida and her mother walked from Port Perry to cut the grass on the Thompson graves with sheep shears and end- ed up 'with blistered hands. Last summer Ida visited the museum and presently lives in a Nursing Home in Bowmanville and still writes interesting letters. Owen Cliff attended the '"Head" Island School in the 20s and 30s, now resides in Barrie and is recovering from a 'heart attack but loves his Scugog and Port Perry memories.

We recently learned that Mamie McLaren in her 95th year passed away a week before Christmas. Mamie was brought up on the McLaren farm near Pine Point Beach and was an early girlhood friend of Greta (Platten) Heron who was also raised on the Island and the two of them never lost their interest in the Island or the welfare of the Island Church. Perhaps some of our more recent memories are of Edna McLaren and her beautiful flower gardens as well as her artistic painting etc., and her interest in Community and Church. Well, it's 1986 now and we must decide what the New Year means for us. Of course children think in terms of school, Sunday School and winter fun. We adults must close our books and prepare our reports as well as plan programs and budgets for the new year. So, lets get at it. For the Island United, the next Coffee Hour is Tuesday, January 7, at 10 a.m. I hope we have a babysitter. Bible Study will be in the morning this year as there are not enough evenings, so try Tuesday morning,' January 14th at 10 a.m. at Diane McKinzey's at Manchester. The next evening, Wednesday, January 15th at 7:30 p.m. sharp, elders, stewards and all others in- terested in the Scugog Pastoral Charge are requested to attend the Scugog United to consider a Bethel Bible Series. New people in the community are invited to attend either the "Head"' U.C.W. at June Hayne's or the "Grace" U.C.W. at Pat Taylor's. Both are Wednesday, January 8th at 8 p.m. Contact someone in your area, if you wish to go with someone else. Reports and budgets are to be typed out by January 12th. Apparently a visiting musician to the Island United in December ; put down a large book of music and has not been able to locate it since that time. It may have been set aside in the bustle of Christmas. Will you please try to remember if you may have seen it ? It is quite a loss and disappointment to him. © "An Evening of Music" A Great Success Sunday evening, December 15th, Grace United Church Choir, Scugog Island, presented 'An Evening of Music .
