Roll Call - "What kitchen appliance has been the most useful for wom- en". Judy had a video to show us, "What Quilting means to Me", which was the story of dif- ferent women and the reason for them taking up this beauti- ful art. A lovely dessert lunch was served by our hostess to ten members and visitors. I'm taking another week off from the news, so if you have any please call 985-7457. Thought for the week: The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones. Many attend decoration day Nestleton by Mabel (of=111] (= Well! August will soon be a memory and what a hot, humid month it was. Due to the old Second book it says - August days are full of heat; they ripen fruit for us to eat. September will be along soon - this is transition month when September brings the golden rod, and silky milkweed in its pod - the ninth month of the year, edging us toward fall. Family News Mrs. Neta Fish of Edgerton Road, had a very pleasant sur- prise recently when Bruce and Elaine Fish, Lisa and Laura, and friends, from Regina Sas- katchewan dropped in for a vis- it. They all went to Haugen's in Oshawa for lunch. After a succulent meal they returned to Neta's apartment for more visiting before leaving for home. They presented Neta with pictures of the family all nicely framed. What a joyous occasion! So nice to see them!

Decoration Day Service On Sunday, August 20, at 2:30 p.m. a large crowd attend- ed the annual Decoration Day Service at Nestleton United Church to have a share in this special time of remembering our loved ones who have gone before and we dearly wanted to pay our respects to their memo- ry once again. Rev. Bruce White, the Bowmanville Memo- rial Hospital Chaplain was the speaker bringing to us many worthy thoughts to take home. The lovely old hymns, "Great is thy Faithfulness" and "The Church is wherever God's peo- ple" also the 23rd Psalm all helped to make us aware of the Sermon being so meaningful. Glenn Larmer and Linda Kyte sang a lovely duet, "Jesus will Make us his own" with Kar- en at the piano. Lovely gladiolus graced the Sanctuary placed in memory of Leona. Service closed with the Dox- olgy, Prayer, The Lord's Prayer, Benediction and sang, "Go Now in Peace". Robert Mairs expressed a warm, sincere thank you to the minister, Rev. Bruce White and to Glenn Larmer and Linda Kyte for their gift of song, and to Karen, our organist. 2 A very special day for all present. Family Very pleased to have Alan and Eleanor Cawker for Sunday Supper guests. They enjoyed the service. Caesarea Albert Putsey Two big items are pending for all of us this week. First the Blackstock Fair this Sat- urday with all our local mer- chants showing their wares. The contestants of who has the largest or best vegetables or fruit and etc. New prod- ucts on the market covering numerous things. Then of course a great display by the Pine Ridge Garden Club. Be sure to attend the Blackstock Fair. Then you can have a full course meal at the United Church in the village for $10 with no tax or tips. The second item is the Lake Scugog Regatta Associ- Park, Sunday at 11 a.m. Be sure to come out and express your opinions as to what we can do to make the 1996 Re- gatta better. I feel we had a great regatta but there is room for improvement. I think it was in Beams- ville this week where the res- idents took the law into their own hands and blocked the main street after that tragic ation meeting in Putsey Displays ready for fair accident with a runaway truck with no brakes. They were demanding a highway by-pass of their town. I recall years back when Laurence Malcolm was may- or I brought forth the plan for a Caesarea by-pass for High- way 57 to be tied into the Wil- liam Point road. Highway 57 was built as a non access road meaning a street would be the only exit off the highway into subdivided lots for hous- es and industry. We should at least plan on paper for a Cae- sarea by-pass. Raglan with about six homes on the high- way can have one surely we can The second thing I see about Highway 7A to Church Street in Blackstock with all these individual driveways off it and it is also creeping south. The land developed on the west side of the highway was done properly with that subdivision. Durham Region and Scugog Township gov- ernments let's at least plan ahead and put a stop to this poor planning and traffic de- struction of a good highway. We attended the 50th wed- ding anniversary party of Mary and Ron Williamson of Caesarea Saturday night at the hall. Many relatives and close friends came from as far away as England to celebrate this occasion. It was a great evening with lots of food, Ken Call singing a few songs, your association meeting this chance to see and talk to your local M.P.P. at his barbecue grounds. Come out and have etc. if am elected." speeches and then dancing for the evening. A great eve- ning was had by all and thank you for inviting us. This week I feel better be- cause I have a birth to an- nounce instead of a funeral. We congratulate Kim Walker and Buck McIntyre on the birth of their first child, Brandi Anita, 8 lbs. 7 ozs. on Aug. 10, 1995. Another little ship on the sea of life. Best wishes to you all. Firefighters - don't forget Sunday. Pine Ridge GardenClub meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 8 p.m. Speaker Shirley Love - pot pourri and pressed flowers. Come on out for an enjoyable evening at Nestle- ton Hall.

Joke of the Week "Daddy" the little girl asked her father, "Do all fairy tales begin with once upon a time?" "No sweetheart," he answered, "some begin with Saying of the Week The only true failure lies in failure to start. Harold Blake Walker | \ | { |
