TheCanadian Statesman. Bowmanville, October 25, 1978 3 Thurber Carniv al ComiPng Peterborough Presbyterial, U.C.W. "ÏCaring and Sharing" was the theme for each of the two Faîl rallies of Peterborough Presbyterial United Church Womnen. The Rally for Peter- borough North was held in Apsley United Church on Sept. 25 with 63 women present and, for Peterborough South, in Wesley United Church on vVter4 with an attendance of 85. Mrs. (Rev.) Victor Levan, Kingston, was guest speaker>for both rallies. -On each occasion a warm welcome was extended by Presbyterial U.C.W. Presi- dent, Audrey Craft and by the president of the U.C.W. of each of the host churches, niamely Mrs. S. Metrow of Apsley and Mrs. F. Sage of Wesley. Sing songs were led b.yAry Craft and Mignon Maynerd t Apsley and by Ruth Jennings and Jeanne McMahon at Wesley. Reports on the Schools for United Church Women at Quin-mo-lac (Sept. 8-10) and in Simcoe Street United g Church, Oshawa (Sept. 19-21) were presented by Audrey Craft and Nora Watkins and read as follows: "The theme for both schoois was 'Your Ministry or Ours' and both schools had as leaders Mrs. B.J. Kînssen and Mrs. Anne Bishop from the Conference Office lu Kingston. Music, was led by Lynda Jewell, Cobourg, Marion Wellman, Omemee, capably led the schools as dean. Marjorie Ferris succeeds her as dean for next year's schools. Young people who had served as counsellors and leaders at youth camps reported on their experiences and indicated that more than one thousand children and young people had attended camps this year. 0f special interest at the Oshawa schooi was the presentation of skits and music by a group of young people who called themselves "Christians in Action" and who hailed from all areas of Oshawa Presbytery."1 Jane Hooper, Literature and Audio Visual Chairman gave brief reports on a few of the many new books on display. Treasurer Mignon Mayneord reported 'that $14,000 remains to be raised for the Mission and Service Fund before the end of the year if the Presbyterial is to reach its goal of $30,000. Worslip Service at Apsley was in charge of Coe Hill U.C.W. and Fairview ladies were ln charge of it at Wesley. Guest Speaker, Mrs. Levan, works with Alcoholic and Drug Concern for Bay of Quinte Conference. She took as her topic "Life and Living -the development of a life-style which does not need the support of alcohol or drugs". A most dynamic and emphatic speaker she said, by way of introduction, "Christ said 'I have corne that you might have life and have it abundantly'. For me to have abundant life means that I must take seriously, my responsibility to myseif, to take care of my body" She continued by saying "Canadians are a 'substance taking' people for all sorts of ilîs, real and imaginary. They lead the way in consumption of alcoholic beverages, drink- ing and an annual average of 2.6 gallons per each person over fifteen years of age. This surpasses the annual average consumption in United States, Russia, Sweden and most other comparable nations. But Let Wmtercoemin like ala" Ves you can ...

OSHAWA, ONTARIO 44 Bond Street West Phone 576-7152 Christina Annette Viola Burns became the bride of Leonard Bruce Pridie, on Saturday, September 30th, 1978 at 2 p.m. in Saint John's Anglican Church, Bowmanville with Archdeacon Tom Gracie, officiating. Their parents are Mr. and Mrs. F.R. Burns, 16 Jackman Road, and Mr. and Mrs. L.G. Pridie, 60 Smart Street, also of Bowmanville. The bride given in marriage by her father wore a formal gown designed with a high, it is possible to develop a lifestyle not dependent on addictives. As well as my responsibility to myself, I have a responsibi- iity to others. I must com- municate with them and set an example for them. The use of alcohol by young people in- creases in homes where it is used by parents. A staggering number of family breakdowns result from problems arising from the use of alcohol in the home. These famiiy break- downs cause much delin- quency among children; peer pressure follows and aug- -ments it. Eighty per cent of traffic fatalities are alcohol reiated. Do you as a parent have a standard and let your chiidren know where you stand con- cerning the problem of drink- ing and driving? My responsibility to others includes my responsibility to My Community. Most com- munities have the problem of alcohol in the High Schools. They have the problem of alcohol being dem anded in Community Centres. Canada annually spends $134,000,000 on treatment of alcohol and drug users and loses $1,000,000 from lost time in industry. Actually, oniy ten per cent of alcoholics have reached 'Skid Row' level; the others are found among our average middle- ciass families. In pioneer times, the taverns were the meeting places for the community. Women had them ciosed by 1910. These same women, of whom Nellie McClung is shining example, went on to demand and obtain suffrage rights. These are examples of what women, working to- lacey neck, a peari bodice trimmed in lace, and long sleeves. A high headpiece was trimmed with lace with blusher, and she carried a bouquet of three Sonya roses and white daisies. The maid of honor was Eleanor Henderson and the bridesmaid was Julie Wray. Kimberly Burns was the flower girl. Best man was Steve Newell and the ushers Billy Pridie and Randy Burns. For the reception held at Memorial Park Club House the mother of the bride received the guests in a camel color bow blouse and long, pleated skirt, with a corsage of pink and white carnations. The groom's mother assisted in a long, printed turquoise gown. Leaving'on a honeymoon in Kingston, Upper Canada Village, Old Fort Henry and a Thousand Island Boat Cruise, the bride's going away outfit was a camel colored peasant dress. Mr. and Mrs. Pridie are now residing at 146 North Street, Newcastle, Generai Delivery. In a week or so, black and white posters displaying drawings of men, women, and dogs will be going Up arounci town. When you see these drawings, you may recognize them as the work of the American. humorist, James Thurber. The posters are to remind you that the Bowmanville Drama Workshop's first play of the season, "A Thurber Carnival" is one you won't want to miss. On Nov. 9, 10, at the Bowmanville High Sehool theatre, you will be treated to a comedy revue which will display the talents of many local people. The jazz quartet, comprised of Barbe Jensen, Lynda Shewchuk, Joe Coyle and Doug Barber will be there to set the mood. Many Bowmanville Drama Work- shop regulars will be back on stage as well as some new- comers to the group. Jean Sheridan, well known locally, is producer as well as artistic director. "This play has Isomething for everyone" Jean assures us. "It has been a while since the Bowmanville Drama Workshop has produc- ed a play suitable for children" she says. "Although 'A Thurber Carnival' is not a children's play by any means, its fast pace, the lighthearted music and Thurber's sense of the absurd will appeal to the younger members. of the audience." Why not make it a family outing and come and see "A Thurber Carnival"! Mixed Bowling gether, can accomplish.
