WESLEYVILLE Spring rains seem to bring the birds and there were several new arrivals. Flocks of meadow larks, juncos, some flickers, phoebes and golden crowned kinglet with the occasional tree creeper are to be seen: grass is turning green and leaves of spring bulbs showing every- where. The heavy rain washed away much of winter's dirt and'caused road flooding in some places on the lake shore.

Hans Grupe of Cold- springs for this Ministerial exchange Sunday and Rev. R.M. Bartlett is in Port Hope United Church. Rev. Grupe's message to the children was in the form of a story about a bird village, which plainly showed the way to use the talents we have and tnd some that may be hidden. The choir's anthem was "Faith For To-Day". A meeting of teachers and officers of the Sunday School was held following the regular session, to arrange for sum- mer next quarter's needs.

The school had been without a Recreation Director for 18 months previous to Mr. Cann's aupointment. For Mn. Cann, Pine Ridge offers a great opportunity to try some of his own theories on how recreation can fulfill an important role in rehabilita- tion. Art Handelsman, the Superintendent at Pine Ridge persuaded Jetf to leave his nosition as Assistant Pecrea- tion Director at Glendale Adult Training Centre in Simcoe and move to Pine Ridge. Jeff is very happy with his decision; he finds the atmosphere at Pie Ridge very congenial and the work challenging. Mr. Cann explains that about 90 per cent of all crimes and misdemeanors are com- mitted in what is supposed to be leisure time. Mr. Cann's contention is that if people were taught to use their leisure time profitably, they would be less inclined to get into trouble. Consequently, the reareation delârtment stress- es activities which can be pursued either alone or in small groups rather than team sports. Team sports like basketball, baseball and hockey are still played but not to the exclusion of everything else. New activities like scuba diving, golfing, canoeing and billiards have been intro- duced.

(especially with the mentally retarded), crafts like leather- work, decoupage, macrame, and pottery are all offered as alternate activities. As Mnr. Cann says, "It should be our job to expose the boys Io as many leisure time activities as they will meet on the outside." Another aspect of the pro- gram is teaching people how to investigate various activi- ties. An attempt is made to give each graduate a contact in the outside world to help him join something. Mr. Cann bas written three books which are used in the various institutes and is cur- ren y working on one which he hopes will be commercially published. Mnr. Cann had quite an illustrious athletic career be- fore getting into his present line of vork. He playedJunior hockey for Kitchener, and was a member of the National Track Team. ,After that, he tried engineerng at the Uni- versity of Waterloo, but found it did not suit him. He wanted a job where he would have a great deal of contact with people. First, he applied for a ob at an adult training centre ut since he was still in his early twenties be was sent to Glendale which at that time handled boys from 14-17. Last August, when Glendale clanged from boys to aduIts, Jeff Cann was still there, but now his position was that of Assistant Director of Recrea- tion. He emphasizes that he was happy with the change to adults and that played no part in his decision to leave Simcoe. He was enticed here by the challenge the long vacant post offered. Mrs. Cann is still in Simcoe where she teaches at the school. She will not be able to join him until July 1st in the new home the couple has bought at 45 Simpson Ave. They have two children, Tyffani 212 and Meagen 4 Yelverton United Church members were favored with a treat on Sunday a.m. when the Hi-C's of Cambridge St. United Church, Lindsay, assisted by Mr. Bradbury, took the morning service at the White Churc . Unfortun- ately, the young people met with a cold reception due to a comedy of errors when some- one forgot to turn on the furnace. Due to a lack of advance publicity, a smaller than usual turnout was pre- sent to hear our guests. Although it is dangerous to single out any individual participants, the young lady for St. Marys who provided the solo with her own guitar accompaniment deserved special mention. To the young ladv who is present as an exchange student from Aus- tralia and took part in the program we extend a warm Yelverton welcome. Mnr. Terry Malcolm in a few well chosen words expressed our appreciation to the young people for taking the service. Belated sympathy to our minister Mr. Ted Powers in the assing of his mother last week. Mrs. Jennifer (Bill) Gilmer is currently sporting a walk- ing cast following an accident with their snow machine in which she broke a bone in her ankle. Jenny still managed to preside at the electric organ on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Mal- colm were overnight guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Malcolm of Don Mills and attended a production at the Fireside Theatre downtown. A number from this com- munity attended the function in Port Hope, Friday night, to honor M.P.P. Alex Carruthers and Mrs. Carruthers for many years of devoted service to this area in his capacity as representative to the M.L.A. Hearty congratulations are extended to Alex and Yvonne for a difficult job well done and happy future retirement. Friday evening's downpour accompanied by high velocity winds decimated our remin- ing snowdrifts at a pace rih unbelievable. Never havee see snowbanks evaporate so quickly. Last weekend the îvestock could go almost anywhere by the simple ex- pedient of walking over the fences on the frozen snow4 banks. As of now they (th- snowbanks not the animals) remain as shrunken unsightly vestiges of their former scenic majesty of sculptured and unpolluted whiteness. Mr. Ray McCullough is entering the Shouldice Hospi- tal in Toronto for surgery this week. Speedy recovery Ray to your former goodhealth. 4-H BEEF CLUB The first meeting of the Beef Club was held on April 10, at 8 o'clock in the Agricultural building in Bowmanville.
