32 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 22, 1988 ) Blackstock and Area News by Joyce Kelly Another election day has rolled around - hopefully the signs from the Federal Election will disap- pear as quickly as those from the Municipal Election did following last week's election. Congratula- tions to those who won top numbers last week as well as thoughts of appreciation to those who put their names up and work- ed hard in an unsuccessful race. As in any other contest there have to be losers as well as winners in an election. Thank you to all can- didates for creating enough in- terest to bring out such a good vote. On Sunday Cecil and Marie Gib- son, Anne and Peter Vanderheul and Eleanor and Wayne Mac- Donald joined members of the Johnston family for the baptism of Heather Marie daughter of Grace and Chris Johnston at the morning service at Uxbridge United Church. Following church Grace and Chris along with Kevin hosted a family gathering in honour of Heather's baptism. Next Sunday evening at 7 p.m. there will be an Intergenerational Carol Service at Blackstock United Church when the C.C.P.S. Band will be in attendance. This service is open to anyone who wishes to enjoy an old-tyme Carol Service. Some of the older readers of this column will remember MJ. Hobbs who passed away recently. Mervyn attended Purple Hill School both as a student and as a teacher many years ago. Sym- pathy is extended to Mrs. Hobbs and their daughter Joan on Mr. Hobb's passing. . PERSONAL TOUCH in your ...

On Saturday evening about 130 members of the Central Ontario Tractor Pullers' Association met for the Awards Banquet and Dance at the Blackstock Rec. Centre. Vice President Dick Reid welcomed everyone, introduced the Head Table and said Grace after which a delicious Roast Beef - dinner prepared and served by the U.C.W. was enjoyed.

Mark Graham won two plaques in two classes he par- ticipated in. The Blair Graham Memorial Trophy was won by Mark Kangas as voted to be most sportsmanlike puller. The remainder of the evening was spent dancing to the music by "Blackstock". Thirteen ladies met on Tues., Nov. 8 at the home of Flora Samells for their Afternoon U.C.W. meeting, which was open- ed by Thelma Wright who read a poem, '"The Mist And All". The theme of the Worship was "Remembrance" and Audrey Wright told, most effectively, of the services held in Ottawa and the history and significance of the Peace Tower. Verse 14 of II Cor- inthians, Chapter 2 was read and two verses of the hymn, 'How Firm a Foundation', were sung. Gifts for the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital and Destiny Manor ( a treatment centre in Oshawa for women with alcohol and/or drug abuse) were received and will be delivered before Christmas. A request has been received from "The Denise House" (home in Oshawa for battered women) and, as a result, collection cans will be placed in the local stores and any homes asking for one - if interested, contact Jean Adams. These cans will be kept out for the months of December and January. Everyone contributed to the program by giving a review of a book enjoyed and/or mean- ingful to her. This was very in- teresting, enlightening, varied and educational. Benediction brought the meeting to a close. The School Advisory Commit- tee met the C.C.P.S. on November 10 with 8 in attendance. The price of the track was discussed and a decision was made on the type of playground equipment that we should try to obtain. Fundraising was also on the agenda. Plans were made for a 50-50 draw for the New Year and a cheese sale in the spring. Donation boxes will be placed in all the stores in our school community from now un- til Christmas for those people who wish to contribute to the fund. These donation boxes will also be on hand at all school concerts. We closed the meeting with the deci- sion to hold the December meeting on Dec. 8 at 10 a.m. Everyone is welcome to help with our project. Two close games happened at the Floor Hockey this week. In the Intermediate Division the Reds outscored the Yellows 5-4. Scoring for the Reds were Jason Logan 3, Carle Davis and Brennan Malcolm and for the Yellow team Dillon Webber 3 and Brad Morton 1. In the Seniors the Bruins defeated the Canadians 10-9 with the scoring done for the winners by Mike Hepburn 5, David Walker, Brad Vokins, Todd Moore, Andrew Avis and for the losers by Brent Donnelly, Adam Vivian, Kirk Swain, Jason Cliff and Jeremy Huntington. Soon election signs will be gone Help with our dream at Cart- wright Central Public School. Many of you might have notic- ed the donation boxes that have sprung up around our little com- munities asking for help in achieving our dream of $70,000 for playground equipment etc. at C.C.P.S. This amount must shock many of you so I have decided to let you know what we have in mind for our school. First of all we would like to get a track put in so that our future Track and Field stars have a place to practise. Our gymnasium facilities are utilized by our local High School so you can see we would all benefit from this. If possible we would like to get an area paved for basketball and to be used for parking at our school functions. As many of you know there is virtually no parking at the present time. For the primary grades we would like to put up some playground struc- tures so that these children will have something to do during recess or after school. This type of equipment is very costly but it will also serve our community for many years. Some of the funds will also go for computers and musical instruments. You can see all our needs are expensive but I feel that if we all pitch in through donations and support in our fun- draising efforts we can achieve this goal. If you have any further questions, please feel free to con- tact me or the school.
