10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 6, 1977 BLACKSTOCK The first Cartwright Scout Association Ladies Auxiliary are holding their rummage, bake and plant sale at the Town Hall on Saturday, April 16th. Hoping everyone will help support us. Watch for coming events. Mrs. John McKibbin, Whit- by, was a caller of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hodge and Mrs. Margaret Argue on Tuesday. Mr. Adam Sharpe and Miss WESLEYVILLE High winds and bright sunshine made the weather picture for the first Sunday in April here, when Christians everywhere were observing Palm Sunday. The junior classes of the United Church Sunday school at Welcome walked in procession around the aisles, each one waving a palm branch while the rest of the congregation sang, "Hos- anna, Loud Hosanna, the little children sang." Rev. R. Bartlett changed the regular order of service so that the children might hear the reading of the lesson before they went to their classes. It was the story of Jesus' entrance into Jeru- salem, as told in Mark's gospel. The importance of little things, including boys and girls, was the theme of the talk for the children and told how in many ways Jesus found a way for children to be helpful. Later in Sunday School the children made crosses from the palm leaves. The choirs anthem for this special day was, "Hosanna to the Highest, Blessed is the King." The morning's sermon was based on the title, "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord." One illustration concerned the young Indian gentleman who, when pressed to say why he resented Christians, said it was because so many were not Christians. His answer had reason, for not all of us who claim to be Christians live Christ centred lives. An arrangement of daffodils and green branches was like a breath of spring and was an acknowledgement of Cancer month. Ushers were Messrs. R. Bowman, David Kellogg, 0. Beatty and John Gould. Mr. and Mrs. Murray Payne greeted the congregation at the door. Next Sunday all are hoping for fair weather, es- pecially just before six o'clock a.m. when the CGIT will be holding their seventh Easter sunrise service. There have been three quilts in the frames this week, at as many different homes, with quilters helping each other, on her own projeet. Sad news was received here this week of the sudden death of Mrs. Paddy Welsh, Tory Hill. The former Marguerite Brooking was born here and spent her early school years at Wesleyville public school. She had not been well for a short time but death came unex- pectedly. Mrs. Emma Darke, her aunt, with Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wakely of Port Hope; Reg Bee, an uncle of Marguer- ite, with Mrs. Bee and Mrs. Gordon Harness of Port Hope, all attended the funeral on Thursday afternoon at Tory Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Behm and son Daryl of Douglas called to see Mrs. E. Barrow- clough, a former teacher of Henry, on Saturday evening. They had been visiting brother Harold Behm and other mem- bers of the family in Port Hope during the weekend. A grass fire along the railroad tracks just west of the generating station access road spread rapidly to the west, fanned by the high wind during the forenoon on Sun- day. By mid afternoon it had covered many acres, so Hope township firefighters, about a dozen, were on the scene. They brought the four wheel drive truck down through the fields to the north and were able to get it beside the rails. Pieces of railway ties along the track had caught fire and still were burning after dark. It is very difficult to fight a fire in that area for there is no ready acess access to it. This particular section of track has had many fires over the years with no positive way of knowing how they start. Some years ago a fire of huge proportions covered acres of grassy fields with terrifying speed and appear- ance. At that time fences burned and the wire still attached in places glowed in the dark as the burning pieces of post hung on. Thoral fanta4ss Stop in and we'il send your wishes in fresh spring blossoms.
