How thankful we were to enjoy a few more days of lovely Indian Summer. (I wonder where it got that name!) The seasons are moving and time passes by, yet the trail leads enticingly on. We cannot stand still. The only constant of life is change. We approach the autumn with trepidation after all, can winter be far away? What lies on down that road for us? Listen to the Psalmist's confident state- ment. God shows us even greater glory on every turn of the road. Life is like that. As we grow into our autumn years, we can see even more clearly God's guidance along all these trails we travel. It is noted that Scugog Island drivers are badly needed for Community Care. Gas is paid and many retired people enjoy this service as they get to know peo- ple, learn about the area and spend spare time in a satisfactory service. Please think about it and call Community Care 985-8461. As I look at the new phone book, I'm reminded of the changes on Scugog Island, which we once considered our own little domain with 3 schools, 4 churches, our own school boards and council, our post office, store, Island school fair, no plumbing or hydro and telephones shared with many neighbours for help, business and news. Older residents could name almost every permanent resident. Children walked to school and high school. With the passing of time, changes came quickly when beaches were developed and land lots were sold, enabling grown children of permanent residents to find a home back on the Island. All services improved including private telephones. When 1 first counted Island phones about 3 yrs. ago there were approx. 600. The numbers have increased and today it in cluded 824 listed and many unlisted. Even some children have their own phones. While checking the numbers, I found it interesting to learn many with whom we had earlier con- tacts are still living on the Island. Then we find many new, in- teresting names representing pro- fessions, business, retired people, or many who commute. Last week we were pleased to hear from Mrs. Marion Hughes a former resident of Port View Beach but visiting in Port Perry from Peterborough. She 1s now in a wheelchair much of the time and expects more surgery at the end of Nov. Her husband Norven, still drives his car and enjoys chatting. Recently, Mrs. Elsie Pogue who raised her family at the Foot of the Island but is now living in Port Perry had another birthday. In considering how she would celebrate and enjoy it, she thought of others less fortunate and was seen bringing pleasure to residents of the Nursing Home. We all know Sandra and Jeiry Taylor, where they have lived at the Head of the Island for many years as they experienced a barn fire, raised their family of boys and went into public life. Therefore, we all express our sympathy in the sudden loss of their son, Rick. We also extend sympathy to his wife & 2 little children. Wed. evening is U.C.W. time. "Grace" will meet at the Island United. "Head" will meet at the home of Mrs. Jan. Gerrow. Visitors are welcome at both. On Sunday morning there was a good turnout from Manchester and Scugog at Scugog United at 10 a.m. instead of 10 p.m. as listed in the paper. Everyone was met at the door by a dear little boy with a big smile as he handed out the Bulletins. Inside, a group of 4 in- cluded the prospective, new minister with introductions and a sheet from the lady Mrs. Elaine Barber to relate her life and training. Following the very efficient ser- vice, the congregation remained for an informative meeting con- ducted by the well known Mrs. Evelyn Redpath from Presbytery. When everything was understood, a vote was taken by ballot. The final result was that a unanimous decision would be sent to Presbytery requesting the ser- vices of Mrs. Elaine Barber, who resides with her husband and 3 adult children in Bowmanville. Next Sunday there will be a joint service for the Scugog Pastoral Charge at Manchester Church at 11 a.m. with the Scar- borough Kiwanians who have made this an annual event since Rev. Geo. Wylie served the pastoral charge and invited them. There will be a social period after the service. presents the GRAND OPENING of the ANTIQUE and COLLECTIBLES ROOMS Saturday, November 10th 9 AM until 5 PM Fresh Coffee and Donuts served.
