Acton Free Press Wednesday February 16 Wendy Thomson Things arc really hopping in Buck Creek these days The people in the area decided that the Community Hall an old building about 30 GO feet had stood unused long enough and made plans to get all kinds of activities going There started another aspect of my Alberta living education It seems strange to think that here I am getting closer and closer to each year and Im constantly coming across new things to a muse delight and Intrigue me The first do in the Hall that Tom could see it was the was a New Years Eve party last box and If he didnt get it for Buck Creek residents only hed go hungry He got it and It was a small conglomeration smart old Gord was left in the of youngsters oldsters and cold Some of Ihe neighbours dancing to the took pity on him though and music of a somebodys stereo fed him crackers cheese and track tapes It was marvelous I guess The boxes brought mostly with youngsters going to these around to but one went socials from the time they re for 27 That was a couple small picked up the of neighbours just having fun courtly manners of the much The dance before the box older generations in regard lunch was something else to dances that is It was so again I guess more tickets mcetohaveateenagertoften were sold than should have one I didnt know come up been and the hall was packed and offer his arm as an in to overflowing The dance to dance leading me floor was full the whole time back after with courtesy and as there were only enough compliments to seat half the people It was a profit There was an excellent affair per couple Tor all hand they could play they could eat a turkey and anything and the people here ham buffet and drink I dance to anything No matter passed up all drinks not what age size or shape they because Ive taken lo tee- are theyll get up and shake but because the ladies facilities consisted of folk an old wooden outhouse be One thing that was new to snowdrift me Ihe dance music is played Intention of hitching up my in a set consisting of three long skirts to hike out in the similar tunes one tune is snow played then while the band having a brief rest the people on the dance floor with arms around each other s waist and shoulder promenade anti j i clockwise around the floor till Noone complained After all there had been provements made just for that dance it was moved around the light from the door lit up Tfnft the well trod path and a door don sit down till the set was put on for privacy The second big event was a box social Apparently it was so many years since one had been held that- few could remember what was best to pack in the lunch box finished And if the music in the set is all polkas that makes for very weary bones The dance was such a success that half the entries for a snowmobile rally show up at the hall the next taking one But a couple of dozen of us did some leaving out their names so they wouldn t have to eat with whoever bought it if they dldn t want to I will mostly through fields but at one point went dow through a deep Son Jim and his girl friend ere the first ones to leave the starting point and according admit I could see the wisdom to the man at the first after checkpoint handled the But I was lucky When mine coulee like professionals But came up on the auction block then a ski broke and the I gave Gord a poke to start disappointed pair headed back bidding on it a friend of ours to the hall again There went to the front started the dreams of winning two bidding too He and Gord look It up to then I don know what else the figuring Tom was bidding entertainment committee has against him just for mean in mind for the next few letTomhaveit months but whatever it is was we Women at gathering Mrs Oscar Nature relented and the sun shone once again as the women of theltockwood One mtl for their gathering Mrs Jessie Dunk was hostess for the event Mrs Dunk provided her guests with inspirational music for listening as the program under the leader ship of Mrs dale began The poetry of Davids Psalm provided the theme for the day study he wrote heavens declare the glory of the Lord and the firmamLnl his handiwork Arguments Various members provided arguments to show that the world is the creation of God just as is rittcn in the Scrip tures others showed that the Bible is a unique book and is the Word of truth Mrs Daisy answered the query Can we hear the voice of God in history She asserted Bible history is part of all we are today for the past of the Jews has profoundly influenced our way of life Theirs has been a sad history with slavery wars and even rebellion against God but they have given us a legacy in law literature and music At many points in history one mans life has changed the course of the future Moses the prophets Paul and Jesus each their time and ours We are heirs to a salvation bequeathed to us by history Have we heard God speak in creation asked Mrs Dunk Using Davids psalms about he wonders of the creation to introduce her viewpoints she stated Todays astronomers and mathematicians marvel at the order of the universe and the number of the galaxies- just as did the shepherd psalmist of old There is no confusion In Gods creation She continued Man is the crowning of creation and is even made in His image he is to have dominion over the whole world Mankind is given the gift of this ml world but he is only a tenant he must be a good steward of its resources and is responsible for its care an we hear God speaking through His Son asked Mrs loisTosh Jesus came at the darkest lime in Jewish history just as predicted ears before by the prophet Isaiah This was the proper time for God to reveal Himself in human form through His Son Jesus Jesus was recognized as unique by Ins family neigh hours and the area but they found it hard to believe He was the Messiah They had seen Him grow up in the normal lifestyle of a child of His day His unusual under standing of the Scriptures and His authority as He ex plained the Word amazed them later His supernatural powers and miracles con vinced them of His deity Mrs Vcrna Root sum mamed It all with a poem which advised Seek not afar for your happiness it is at your door Man looks and fancies Him concealed but He is on earth revealed Mrs Sytske led a discussion period touching on the points just covered It was decided that the Bible Is still relevant today It still speaks to us and Is still useful for us today In the past It can also make us aware of false teachings by comparing these wilh the scriptures If we do not read the Word of God regularly we will be easily misled by false teachers who cleverly misinterpret the law The Bible can still bring us hope and Just as it did for generations past Family
