8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 30, 1978 Section Two Roadside Refreshments Kool-Aid and cucumbers? That's certainly an interesting combination thought up by these youngsters whose Kool-Aid stand on Liberty St. N. will earn them spending money for a trip to the CNE. But if Kerri Kilmer, 10, (far left) and her friend Carol Blumberg, 10, (right) aren't careful, nine-year-old Kenny Kilmer will drink up all the profits. Mr. and Mrs. Pete Borrow visited with Mr. and Mrs. Bert Reid in Orillia and then visited Mr. and Mrs. Milton Budd in Woodville. Mr. and Mrs. Owen Prins of Little Britain were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Graham. Mr. and Mrs. Prins have just returned from Johannesburg, South Africa. Just two weeks and young people will be returning to college or beginning a new epic in their lives. Dennis Ambrose is entering radio college in Toronto and his brother, Ernie, is planning on attending Bible College in Peterborough. We wish them every success in their studies. United Church "Do you know God?" was Mr. Graham's subject for his sermon on Sunday. There are two classes of people in the world - those who know God and love Him and those who hate Him and are afraid of Him. He's a living Father to those who love Him whereas to those who hate Him He is a nuisance and standing in the way. For those who love Him at the end of life He still is with us, but those to whom God is their enemy know that He will judge and punishment is their lot. Can we really know God? If we really want to know all about God it's an impossi- bility, as our minds are incapable of total understand- ing. We can't know all about God, but we can know Him in a very personal way. There are many characters mentioned in the Bible who really knew God. 1. The Israelites knew him as their "preserver" and "deliverer." Egypt had no love for God just as many of the world today, but He did and can deliver us from all difficulties. He bas seen us as a prisoner bound by various things and He sent the deliverer in Jesus. 2. Naaman - was an important man with tremendous power but he had leprosy so was shunned by the public. Sin and leprosy were considered similarities, but God cured both iniquities. 3. Job was a wealthy man, but was sitting in the garbage heap, covered with boils. Everything seemed to be gone for him, but God becaine Job's "redeemer" as he got to know Him. 4. David knew God as his "helper". God is near at all times and can help us in trouble or when we are perplexed as He did David. 5. Apostles knew God as their '"provider". They were never in want. No matter how tempting material things are, we should never neglect our spiritual needs, for God will help us to understand. His word and the more we read its meaning will be revealed to us. 6. Paul knew God as His "keeper". He was his spiritual keeper and kept him in faith. God will keep us in the bonds of love and protection. But the great question is "Do you love God?" He wants to be our deliverer, preserver, redeemer, provider, keeper and helper. Look to the cross, where Jesus gave His all for us and think of God as Father and Friend. A storm with strong electrical compacts and strong wind swept through the village and uprooted a tree at Mrs. Strong's home and ripped a huge branch off a maple at Mr. and Mrs. Jones' residence, crashing on a half ton truck, and another branch fell on the corner of Mr. McGills' house. Rain fell in buckets, but Sunday morning, the sun was shining brightly and hydro men and the township crew cleared away the fallen trees and electric wires were repaired. Visitors this week with Mr. and Mrs. Frank White were Mr. and Mrs., James Thompson and little daughter, Stephanie of Orangeville, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Mancrief of Fraserville and Miss Sylvia Hodgins of London. The little three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Toole (Mary Hogel) on Highway No. 35 had a serious, painful accident when she ran in front of a riding lawn mower. We wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Ina Palmer had a number of visitors this week. Among them was Mrs. Nita Farnsworth of Toronto, Mr. Morton Wake of Detroit, Mrs. Mildred Bristow and her daughter Mrs. Gail Ogryzek and three children, of Kingston, Mrs. Phyllis Laidley and Susan of Belleville and Mrs. Ed McGlynn and son, Jim of Peterborough. Mrs. Laura Spiers is recuperating after an operation with Mrs. Reta Neals and enjoying a two week's holiday with er. Mrs. Marie Gilmour of Toronto is visiting with her mother, Mrs. Violet Carr. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Porteous and Mr. and Mrs. Emery Smith holidayed with Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Moffat at their cottage near Wilberforce, and we hear Emery pulled some "big ones" out of the lake.

Sincere wishes for health and happiness to these two fine couples! Many children, who have attended the play school at the Athletie Park, will be saying, "This is the best holiday we have ever had", due to the splendid organization and effort that Judy Kerr, Merla Gillbank and Kim Snyder, have put into entertaining these youngsters. They have had many activities with craft work involved, in fact, one little girl said, "I want to give tbis to a lady I like very much", and she was proud of what she had accomplished. The "Carnival" was the big event when they had five games of chance, a haunted house and a fortune-teller and with in their outing. TIIr Merla and Kim would lie to say thank you to the parents who helped in so many ways to make the season a success and to the children who co-operated so willingly. Also a big thank you to Darcy Proctor, who amused them with his stories and his art work. We trust the three leaders have learned considerably about dealing with children and we wish them every success this year as they go back to school. Mr. and Mrs. Doug Bruce and David of Brantford were recent guests of Grace's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Driver. Mr. and Mrs. W. McMahon have returned from an enjoyable nine-day holiday in Newfoundland and the French island of St. Pierre, off the south coast of Nfld. Most of us are aware that fishing, logging and the manufacture of pulp and paper comprise the chief industries of the province but the McMahons were pleasantly surprised to observe the astounding number of ultra-modern homes, hotels, motels and business complexes being erected, in the residential areas. Equally delightful was the extremely colourful and neat appearance of even the most humble of homes in the more remote areas and in the fishing villages. On the island of St. Pierre they found the town of the same name with its retention of French traditions, architecture and old world charm -- truly France's only city on North American shores. The University of Toronto sends three hundred students to the St. Pierre University every summer to study the language as it is spoken in France. The McMahons travelled with Horizon Holiday Tours and were much impressed by the superior services offered by this company. They invite enquiries from persons who might be interested in booking a tour with Horizon at a future date.
