4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 18, 1978 PONTYPOOL Manvers Arena and Community Centre Having made a tour through the building this past week, Mr. Fred Marshall, publicity chairman, reports great improvement with a new superintendent of construction on job. The building now appears ready for painting and carpentry work. Already bookings have been made for spring and summer activities. Arena Manager J. Snyder is on premises. With work con- tinuing at the present pace, ice should be in use February 15th. Saturday, February 18th, a Monte Carlo night is planned for the new Community Centre with games of chance, dancing and light lunch. Admission is Free. The draw for a 1978 Monte Carlo Sport Coupe will be held with all proceeds for the Manvers Arena Fund. The Annual Congregational Meeting for Pontypool United Church was supposed to be held on Sunday, January 15th, but because there were only eight in attendance with only one report (U.C.W.) handed in, a further meeting is planned for this coming Sunday, January 22nd at 2 p.m. Reports should all be anded in for this meeting. On Sunday morning, Mr. Graham chose, as the topic for his sermon, "A Wonderful Miracle." It was a most interesting message. Mr. Graham's sermons are covered fully by Mrs. Belle Smith, the Bethany corres- pondent. Rather than dupli- cate, any readers can follow Mr. Graham's text in the Bethany column. Better still - why not come to church and hear them for yourselves. Choir practice is held in Pontypool every other Thurs- day night at 7:00 p.m. Present- ly we have six faithful members. If you would like to help out with the choir, come to practice this Thursday, January 19th. Get-well wishes are sent along to all those who have been ill recently. Garnet Porter has returned home from Lindsay Hospital. Mrs. Alvin Mitchell is a patient in Ross Memorial Hospital, Lindsay. Both' Howard and Alvin Mitchell have been under the weather with the flu bug. Mrs. Rittman, mother of Mrs. Robt. Pfeiffer, has been in very poor health. Herman Webb has been off work with the highway department for the past five weeks. Alvin Olan was taken into Civic Hospital, Peterborough, last Wednesday suffering from a heart attack. Latest report is that his condition is quite good. Mr. Anthony Hickey, a former resident of the second line, passed away last week with burial on Saturday. We send condolences to his family. Mr. and Mrs. Murray Logan are enjoying a month's vaca- tion in Texas. A copy of "Remembering the Farm" was received by one of our family members at Christmas. The author, Allan Anderson, travelled with a tape recorder across Canada to find out what living on a farm meant and still means to Canadians. One gentleman questioned went west in August, 1923 to help with the harvest. Quoting from the book he says, "I went C.P.R., boarded the train at midnight and happened to get a very good coach with a real good bunch of fellows in it. There were four fellows from Bethany, Ontario, right set across from us, and one played the violin, one the mouth organ and one kept time with spoons on his knee, and they all happened to be good." We have been wonder- ing who these three talented gentlemen were? Mr. and Mrs. Don Sharpe, formerly of Newcastle, have moved into the apartment in the former parsonage vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Dunn. Mrs. Thea Brandenburg has commenced another crochet- ing class in her home in Pinewood Estates. These ladies are learning the more intricate stitches in crochet- ing. Mrs. Laverne Finney is planning an "Exercise" class which will hopefully start the last week of this month. Any ladies interested are asked to call Marie at 277-2327. This class will be held in the Orange Hall with a minimum charge. Various exercises will be carried out and Marie hopes that it will be an hour well spent both physically and socially.
