8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 17, 1975 Section Two TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO £)f) SYNDICATE Just to look at David you can see this 10-year-old has a zest for living. He is a very active, enthusiastic boy, always in a hurry. Anglo-Saxon in descent, David is handsome and healthy with light-brown hair, blue-grey eyes and fair skin. He makes a good impression on meeting strangers because he's friendly and outgoing. People who spend a lot of time with David need both pep and patience to keep up with his energy. Tests show this lively boy is average in ability but he has had problems in school, probably because it is hard for him to concentrate. He was in a special class but has now been in- tegrated into the regular classes. Reading and arithmetic have improved a good deal though he is still behind in spelling. David needs to be kept busy. Fortunately he is keen on sports which helps to work off some of his surplus energy: He plays volleyball, basketball and hockey and loves camping, swim- ming and fishing. He likes music and wants to take guitar lessons. David is anxious to belong to a family. He should be the youngest and will be a fine son for involved, active parents. To inquire about adopting David, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. In your letter please tell something of your present family and your way of life.

The speaker for the afternoon was Aileen Wilson who had attend- ed Camp Council for CGIT together with Margaret Harness of Morrish and Lana Beatty of Welcome. From August 15 to 23rd. they enjoyed the lovely surround- ings at Ride Lake, Graven- hurst and Aileen's pleasure in the experience was conveyed in her enthusiastic report. Sixty-four girls attended and they have the opportunity just once; the three girls were in separate cabins with girls from other areas, they had morning watch at 8 a.m. with each participating in turn. Their chapel was by a large pine tree with a cross made from birch bark. A Bible study of one hour was required each day but discussion was so interesting Aileen said it was always extended. They learn- ed new songs, two of which Aileen sang accompanying herself on the guitar; they had a talent show and much craft work, some of which wvas shown; canoeing, cookouts were all a part. Concluding, Aileen taught the ladies, one of the camp's favorite songs, "Pass my love around", and told of the closing banquet, with candle light service; they sang taps and blew out the candles. President Mrs. Mar- gery Ashby thanked Aileen for her sharing with us this happy time. The business for the day was conducted at the beginning of the meeting when reports were heard of activities dur- ing the summer and recom- mendations of the executive which had met at Welcome on Monday morning previous Money which had been given in memory of Mrs. Snell was to be used for new hymn books and it was decided that a sufficient amount be added to the fund to provide enough hymn books for the congrega- tion, these to be in her memory. Since there is a plan to have a missionary speaker for the general meeting in November, members were asked to bring the contents of the bottles saved for Luk Yun Man, our girl in Hong Kong, to the October meeting with coins rolled if possible. Arrangements were made for attending the various UCW meetings in the next few weeks, a workshop at Cobourg and a rally at Hastings when Elaine Kellog will speak of her trip to Kenya. There were busy people during the summer for several afghans were handed in for the Red Cross. Mrs. Harold Barrowclough made 4: Mrs. J. Groeneveld Sr., one: a Port Hope lady, Mrs. Gladys Jay made one; Mrs. Byron Cry- derman had completed the blocks for one but was unable to be present herself. Other members were absent among them Mrs. R. Scott recovering from illness and Mrs. A. Ford who is in England. Devotions were conducted by Mesdames. K. Ashby, T. Wilson, and Mrs. H. Darke who read the Indian interpre- YV VILLE tation of the twenty third Psalm. There was plenty to discuss during the social time for the 21 ladies who were present. Regular church service was held at Welcome on Sunday morning with Rev. R. Bartlett bringing a message on "filling the cup of life", based on the story of the wedding at Cana. A quote long remembered by him was "Life is not a goblet to be drained but a cup to be filled.' In that light the uality of life is raised, rather than depleted. The children's message was of interesting illustrations to bring home the thought that each child is chosen by God to be a special person. The choir's anthem was "Sing Praise to the Father". On Sunday morning those driving to church may have seen great flocks of bluejays flying west. This usually continues for some days, always in that direction. Perhaps they cross to the south at the Niagara River. Frost has not hurt gardens on the lakeshore road al- though those a few miles north have been nipped a bit. Mr. Norman Brooking of Bowmanville was in Port Britain last week to share in the family gathering when his five sisters were visiting at Mrs. J. Adamson's lakeside home there. Rodney Payne was home for the weekend after two week's of his course at Brockville community college. He is taking Architectural Restora- tion and it was necessary to go to Brockville for this new course. Brother and sister Garfield and Jennifer are in university in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. M. Payne, Rodney, Lance and Shelley were in Brougham on Sunday afternoon where a crowd of about 500 were paying a "tribute to Ernie". Ernie and Edna Carruthers were owners of fine property which was the last of those to be evacutated for the aiport.
