We send thoughts of sympathy to former resident Gilbert Reader and his daughter Terri now of Oshawa, as wife Heather, a former member of the "Head" U.C.W. suddenly passed away on the street on Saturday while her little granddaughter was with her in a hand sleigh. It is indeed nice' to get Christmas Greetings from former residents even if it does go back a few years. Some of these people are Owen Cliff of Barrie, Laura (Needham) of B.C..The Ferrier, Dunbar, McCutcheon and Hanaghan sisters of Port View Beach but now of Toronto and Beeton, the Hughes couple from Peterborough and Thompsons from Richmond Hill. Grace United Church U.C.W. held their December meeting at the home of Joan Aldred - seven- teen ladies answered roll call - Camille Crozier group was in charge of the devotional. After a short meeting we enjoyed singing carols, a funny reading "Tis the season to be frantic," and a game: Hot mince tarts and ice cream, fruit cake, and candies made us all realize we do live in a wonder- ful country - Merry Christmas to all. Saturday evening members of Scugog United Church choir held a Christmas dinner and evening in honour of the retirement of Ed- na Beckett - Edna has been a very faithful organist for the past years. The choir members presented a lovely poinsettia plant to Edna and Florence Fralick read a humorous piece of poetry in the form of a 'roast.' We had lots of music. Our new organist, Bonnie Bell, her assis- tant Carol Edgar both took their turn at the piano for sing-songs'- "Bob Cawker played his violin, Betty Reader on her guitar and Nelson Reader on his harmonica. Cecil Fralick recited a humorous story in rhymn about a bear, a rabbit and a worm. Edna took her place back at the piano and we ended the evening with more singing. All agreed this will be an annual event. Don't waste this space. Small ads pay! OAK - PINE - MAPLE - EURO KITCHENS VANITIES COUNTERTOPS Cultured Marble CE Cuisine Expert up to 240% OFF M.S.L.
