Students. at Vincent Massey Public School took a break from their regular studies last Thursday afternoon to experiment with an entirely new subject matter. Grade five and kindergarten classes were sharing the school's cooking utensils to prepare a four-course meal that was served on the following day as part of their nutrition program. Above, grade five students, left to right, Doug Logan, Greer Guthrie an Keith Olan, learn that making a meal is tougher than mother makes it look. David Carr and Velma Vancott of Picton spent the weekend with David's grand- mother, Mrs. Violet Carr. St. Paul's Rev. Sissmore used the Penitenial order of service as an introduction to the period of Lent. The choir, under the leadership of Helen Fry and Debbie Wood, used the Beati- tudes as an anthem of praise. Rev. Sissmore began his sermon with the phrase, "All of us experience trials, tests and temptations and we all must make decisions, when we deal with people and situations." Jesus was tempted, but he dealt with temptation in three ways: 1. Rebuttal - man cannot live by bread alone - Jesus was hungry and it wouldn't have been wrong to turn to it, but His mission was not to feed people but His goal was to change people. 2. Worship - we are all faced with the temptation of taking the world's way or our own way. Many doubt the truth of the Bible and want a compromise, but Jesus says a christian life is a task and three things confront us, that is, suffering, submission and service. 3. Do not put the Lord to a test, but instead trust Him to control our lives. We can identify with Jesus, but do we grasp the fact that we must do things in God's way. Are we really trusting Him? Make use of the gifts that God bas given us. Sincere sympathy is extend- ed to Mrs. Glenn Skuce and family in the loss of her father, Mr, Newton Armstrong.

Bethany greeters for February are Alice Neals and Margaret Beer and ushers are Lisa Neals and Tabatha Dupezak. United Church The topic Mr. Graham chose for his sermon was "Amazing Grace". We all ask questions, sometimes interesting questions, sometimes foolish. Other questions are sincere and demand an answer. What is our relationship with God? Why did God give the life of his beloved Son?. Some might say because man deserved it, but look at that answer in a purely logical view and consider the way we act toward each other, we don't deserve God's love. Others say human nature is very selfish, another answer is "God needs us." There is an 263-8337 Taunton Road and Liberty St. Compete Repairs To Your Car Tire Sales and Service to any make.

We owe God everything, spiritually we are bankrupt, God gave us salvation, grace, unmerited favor, kindness and love. The grace of God reaches us from heaven. The heart that loves much is a heart that hurts much, so keep in mind how deeply hurt God must be when we don't follow Him.

Linda Pfob was convener .for the Family and Consumer Affairs group and a most interesting and enlightening program was given. Linda, with the motto, "If you wish to be thinner - diminish your dinner," spoke on our nutrition and how it affects our bodies. The reason for poor nutrition is usually a lack of information. Good nutrition and regular exercise to keep all moving parts fexible and give tone to your muscles and stimulate circu- lation, can help make the years you have fuller, more youthful and yourself more attractive. The over- weight body is an overworked body.Obesity is a disease that, begets other diseases. You do not inherit obesity, but you acquire the wrong eating habits. Think thin - stay thin! Psychologically successful dieting begins in the head - not at the table. Learn to think thin! "What doth it profiteth a man if he gains, and loses his health?"

TIRED OF THE BD H P RUNAROND Se th colso.Rpi xprsisaa Bowmanville's Chamber of Commerce had a busy year in 1977 according to the annual report from the Chamber's president. The establishment of a downtown business improve- ment area, improvements to signs on local highways and a successful sidewalk sale were just three items highlighted in the report for 1977. Last year also witnessed the completion of the Chamber's Christmas lighting program and the annual Santa Claus and the annual Santa Claus map of Bowmanville. It is improvement area bas been said. rapidly changing food environment e.g. food and convenience foods. There is need for carbohydrates, pro- teins and fats in large quantities as also the required minerals and vitamins. This is a generation when nutrition needs to be stressed because of the "pop trend." People are literally what they eat. Cindy showed some interest- ing milk charts and stressed the "guide to good eating" should be an everday experi- ence. She then spoke of her Dairy Princess program and said it was a very rewarding exper- ience for any lucky person. It is sponsored by the Durham Milk Commission, the compet- ition is held at the local fair and the three judges consider appearance, personality, knowledge, maturity and interview response. The main objective is to improve communication between milk producer and the consumer, a dairy princess is a good - will ambassador and represents the dairy men of Durham County at various functions e.g. banquets, women's groups, local fairs, schools and then on to the C.N.E. where she competes not against 2 or 3 girls, but about 44, which is quite a challenge. Cindy spoke on "Milk Diets" and said milk is not very fattening. Any food is fatten- ing, but it depends on how much you eat. Linda's group, after thank- ing Cindy for her splendid talk, served custard and cookies made from nutritious products. Freida Morton moved a vote of tbanks to Linda and Cindy and the Family and Consumer Affair's group.
