14 The Caniadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July il, 1979 Large Crowd Celebrates 11lOth Anniversary of McCrea's Church on Sunday Afternoon C.H.S.

TAMMIE DEMERCHANT Average on top 6 subjects 80.8 percent, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Keitb Demerchant, R.R.1, Blackstock. A corner of McCrea's Church Cemetery provided a perfect setting for llOth anniversary services on Sunday afternoon, attending by a large crowd, many in formai attire of yesteryear. The Rev. Basil E. Long of Orono led the service with Yvonne Fallis at the organ and Pontypool United Church choir providing special music. At right is Gerald Fisk, complete with top hat, cane and frock coat. Friends of McCrea 's Cemetery bad a beautiful afternoon in whicb to commemorate its llOtb an- nlversary on Sunday, July 8th, 1979. A large congregation atteaded the service beid in the cemetery grounds and most of the people remained for the pot luck supper and social time ýwhicb followed at Pontypool Community Centre. The service was conducted by Rev. Basil Long of Orono United Churcb and music was supplied by Poatypool United Churcb Choir witb Yvonne Fallis organist. Duets by Kevin Preston and Lana Malcolm, witb their own guitar accompaniment, were mucb enjoyed. The Cemetey Board wishes to thank those people most siacerely. Speciai appreciation is aiso expressed to Fay and Glory Adams wbose sound system was of great assistance. Siace, at an anniversary service sucb as this, our tbougbts go back across the years, we attempted to recreate some of the past la various ways. We bave always used the pulpit from the old churcb at our annual outdoor Decoration Service and we did so once again. We also "borrowed back" two of the old pews that bad been sold to Jim Moiioy and on tbese the cboir sat. From Orono Museum was obtained the "thiag" - we stili don't know its correct name - with which to take up tbe collection - a very generous oae by the way - well over $300. To the people wbo lent us the ldfasbioned clothes and to al tbe ladies and gentlemen wbo wore tbem, we owe a real debt of gratitude. Tbey certainly did add a great deal to tbe spirit of tbe occasion (and unfortunateiy somewbat to the size of the ladies' figures, but for a good cause!) The beautiful floral tributes express our love for those wbo rest la our little cemetery, and the care and attention bestowed on tbe grounds themseives, show a regard and respect for our ancestors, that we trust the next generation wiil see fit to continue. When everyone arrived at the hall, ail couid see a dispiay of family pictures on the walls, some photos and a painting of the ld cburcb as well as the deed of the property, purcbased in 1869 from Andrew McCrea. One item that proved of great iaterest was a quilt owaed now by Dorotby Jackman (nee McCrea) on wbich were many names embroidered at a cost of 25 cents eacb. t was purcbased for $25 by Dorotby's mother from the ladies Aid of McCrea's Churcb. She also brougbt a picture of Andrew McCrea. Her contributions were appreciated very mucb. Our pot luck meal proved very successful - no lack of good food or good comnanv. Everyone seemed to thorougbiy enjoy renewing old acquaintances - some dating back for many years. In tbe guest book tbere were many addressed listed. Some were Toronto, Cobourg, Bancroft, Barrie, Flesberton, Osbawa, Peterborougb, Cardiff, Newcastle, Bowmanviile as weli as local ones. AIl our churcb souvenir plates, 120 in ail, were soid. Tbese plates witb a sketcb by Grant Curtis are reaily loveiy, priced at only $250 eacb. We have or-ders- foxi. more - so it you wisb to get your namne on the list, please pbone Hilda Cocbrane at 983-5566 or Jessie Fisk at 983-9108 before next Monday. Tbis will be tbe last cbance so don't delay. Nearly 50 copies of "Memories" Jessie Fisk's book were sold. Tbey are going fast!

St. Paul's Anglican A number of United Cburcb members attended tbe Communion Service at St. Paul's on Suaday. Canon Dyer referred to a passage from Joshua "Honor the Lord and serve Him sincerely and faitbfuliy. . ." We are ahl aware of the fact tbat we are living in times of great tribulation and we need unity in this land, especially today - Dominion Day, July 1. We're in a land of many ethnie groups, wben the elderiy are a' concern, wben maay languages are spoken witb many native tangue news- papers and people of differeat colored skias. Canada bas been earicbed by tbis and yet tbere are problems. As Christ- ians we are very privileged and we should be grateful for our good standard of living in material and social wealth. t becomes easy to tbaak God but are we serviag Hlm under false pretenses. God is no respecter of persans; tbe wbole eartb is the Lord's and all tbat is in it. Wbat God do we serve - is it God of Canada, God of our ancestors or God of ourselves? t sbould be God of tbe Holy Spirit, fatber of Jesus, wbom we sbouid serve as He is a God of every nation. We must tbiak of unity wbicb can only be brought about in our owa bearts, tbus we can have tbe rigbt relatioasbip witb God. Kari E.

HOW MUCH HOMEIMPROVEMENT? Does tl pay to fix up your house? Is this an investment you'll get back when you seli? Actually, much of the payoff will be n enjoyment, flot in dollars. Rarely can you recover ail the money you put into major home improvements. (Cosmetic improvements before you seil are another matter.) n certain high-demand areas, where prices are rising and housing is short, you may recover the entire cost. In most places, though, you'd be more likely to gel back hait of what you put in. O0er-improvement will. not pay off. Major improvements should not cost more than 30 per cent of a homes value - and most should be kept in lme with neighborhood stand- ards. You can get more for your home-improvement dollar by con- verting under-utilized areas instead of building outward. Making a screened porch into a family roomn will cost less than pushing ouf walis. If you want more home than you've gof, if may be wi$e fo selI your current house and move into a 'more-home" neigh- ' borhood.
