10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. November 28, 1979 Section Two BETHANY1 A large number of people attended the pot-luck supper at the Ballyduff Hall - on Saturday evening when a variety of delicious food disnes were enjoyeci. The tables were quickly cleared to take a "sit-down tour" of Ireland presented by Mr. and Mrs. Wes McMahon, who through their pictures gave a beautiful account of many places of interest and the scenery was so different from Canadian landscapes. Lana Malcolm and Kevin Preston always present enjoyable entertainment for these two young people have been most successful in their singing talent. Sid Powers will be comfortable this winter with the beautiful afghan made and presented by Lila Kerr, which he won by having the lucky ticket. Sincere sympathy is extended to Jessie Ellicott in the death of her husband, Ivan Rendall Ellicott, after a lengthy illness. To mourn his passing are his wife, Jessie (Yellowlees), son, Donald of Pleasantville, N.S., daughter, Mrs. James Booth (Sandra) of Vancouver, three grandchildre'n, his mother Mrs. Nora Ellicott of Port Perry and two brothers, Allan and Vernon of Port Perry. We, who knew Ivan, will hold his memory in high esteem, as his amiable manner won him many friends. Did you realize that back in early days the psalms were the people's hymn book? Canon Dyer began his sermon with this question, and he said the book of psalms is still our devotional prayer book, and it's only natural that they should be included in worship services, weddings, funerals etc. Most of the psalms are the expression of an individual - a man speaking to his God - a personal touch. Of -the 150 psalms we can always find one that fits every situation of life. Translation allows us to understand the thought. In psalm 51 David is overwhelm- ed by shame but he is comforted by faith. Verses 1 to 8 is a confession of some great wrong, but he is forgiven. First David had an accounta- bility to God, his wrong is his own. The psalms become you and me - they're personal. David's action was against God. In every person there is a broken relationship - our conscience pricks and we don't know what to do, This relationship must be restored and we must realize this. Desperation and need makes us cry out to God. Verse 14 says David's distress made him realize he may be deprived of the Holy Spirit, so he bas' a rededication and committment to Giod. Wisdom brings us to righteousnessi.e. having a knowledge of right and wrong. We sacrifice for doing right, but it's a great personal teaching, and even though psalms are of the Old Testament they have a personal message and will keep us in communication with our God. Canon Dyer thanked the congregation for words of condolence in the death of his mother, but said his mother's ninety-seven years were good, happy ones, and now he was glad to place her with Jesus. We are so very sorry to hear Stanley Sharpe is a patient in the Intensive Care Unit of Civic Hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery and perma- nent good health. I'm sorry I stated that Mrs. Lila Kerr is in St. Joseph's Hospital, but instead she is waiting for a bed vacancy. Our best wishes are for better health for this wonderful lady who is ninety-three years of age. A call or a visit from former pupils just makes my day, as David Pearce phoned this week. He has a family of two girls and one boy and is a salesman for Jack Magee THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE NOT CE Commencing December 1, 1979, the following are telephone numbers, for your use during the 1979-1980 Winter Season: During normal hours 7:00 a.m. to 330 p.m. DIVISION 1.

Dianne and her husband are now on a big dairy farm near Belleville and she bas just had her first baby boy. Brenda is one of the "head girls" in Victoria and Grey in Lindsay, and Katherine is fortunate enough to get part time teaching. Colleen is still going to school, and David said his mother and father are really enjoying their home in Lindsay. Also had a chat with Johnnie Porter at Ballyduff supper. I always thought bis calling would be as a politician, but instead he enjoys mother nature, and bas now a farm of his own. I wish we could hear the wheÉabouts and activities of all former pupils, as many of them are very successful in the occupations they have chosen. The grade eight pupils of Grandview Elementary School have a most interesting project. They are acting as foster parents to a three year old Guatemala boy. He is Walter Ivan Alvarez and hopes some day to be an accountant. His father is a farmer and his mother does domestic chores, with three sisters and one brother, and they favor Roman Catholie religion. Both parents studied through second grade of primary school, but were too poor to pay for further schooling. Their source of income is from agriculture where they cultivate corn and tomatoes from which they realize about $600.00 a year. Their bouse was destroyed by an earthquake in 1976, but they built it again, the walls being of plaited cane and mud and the roof of thatched palm, and have only a kitchen and one bedroom. The father is very apprecia- tive of the help these grade eight pupils are giving as it will mean an opportunity to better their situation and that of their community. We are very proud of these Grandview pupils as they are using their pocket money to help in this very worthwhile project. Should any other schools be interested in adopting a foster child they could write to: Foster Parent Plan of Canada, 153 St. Clair Ave. W., Toronto M4Y 1P8.

Sympathy of the district is sincerely extended to Mr. and Mrs. Jim Kloepfer in the death of their brother-in-law in Nova Scotia.

Mrs. Morgan Bigelow flew to Winnipeg for a week's visit with her daughter, Dianne and son-in-law, John Earl and family. Emery Smith was able to come home from Civic Hospital after a stay in there Rotarians Learn About Island of Cyprus Rotary members were treated to a colorful travelogue of Cyprus at last week's luncheon meeting by guest speaker and architect, Chris Christodoulou. C prus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and Mr. ristodoulou is one of its natives who is presently studying business administration at the University of Toronto. The speaker told how his country became a political hot spot in 1974 when it was invaded by Turkey and the events which precipitated the take-over. Mr. Christodoulou claims the political climate in Cyprus now could be considered relatively stable. Following completion of his university studies he plans to return to Cyprus where a U.N. peace keeping corps continues to maintain an uneasy peace. According to Mr. Christodoulou, the island's 650,000 population bases its economy on agriculture, mining, light manufacturing and relies very heavily on the tourist industry. Rotarian George Moore, left, shakes hands with Mr. Christodoulou following the meeting. of nearly three weeks. We wish him better continued health in the future. Miss Mary O'Brian undr - went surgery on Tuesday so trust she may have improved health and that her sojourn from the hospital will be permanent soon. We welcome Derena and Lloyd Clark to our village, as they have moved into the house vacated by the Borrows. We hope their retirement from farm work will mean happi- ness and better health for both. Best wishes for good health is extended to Mrs. Whiteside, who bas returned home from a prolonged stay in the hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Frances Vincent, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Smith, Mrs. Jean Argue and Mrs. Mary Capell enjoyed a four day tour in which they attended the country time performance at Nashville. Joe Gallogallv and his wife were excellent tour guides, weather was beautiful, people most congenial and the building of the Grand Ole Opery was a sight to see. An invitation to participate on the C.H.E.X. (Afternoon show) T.V. in Peterborough, Ontario of which Sylvia Sutherland is the genial host, was given to Gordon Bond of Bethany again this year as in 1976 and 1977.

African Violets No other plant will bloom as well indoors as the African Violet, with proper growing procedures it can and will bloom throughout the whole winter. African Violets are a relatively new plant, which was originally collected in Africa in the late 19th century, and since that time has increased in popularity until today there are large fast growing African Violet Societies in Canada and throughout the world. The past decade has brought new strains of this popular plant into the plant world through hybridizing and cross pollina- tion, and in Canada and the U.S. we now have growers that grow nothing else but African Violetb, some are grown in greenhouses, but an increasingly amount of African Violets are grown under artificial light in controlled atmospheric build- ings, specially since the cost of fuel is going up. Some of the new varieties have definite advantages such as better and larger blooms with more colors and the flowers are produced on longer stems so that the flower will show up on top of the leaves. Two of the new strains are the Optimara varieties and the Rhapsody strain, both in new colors. African Violets are actually named wrong, since the proper name is Saintbaulia but due to the fact that it was found in Africa and that it resembled the violet flower, it is commonly called the African Violet. African Violets grow outwards from a crown in a circular or rosette form, and the leaves are fleshy thick and also the stem is thick right to the base of the rosette, and the flowers will grow from the base of the rosette. Single flowers will have five petals and the double varieties will have so many petals that the flower will resemble a tight ball of flowers. Those plants with plain green leaves are called "Boys", and those with frilly notched and ruffled leaves, which will often have a white centre are called "girls", however this bas nothing to do with ability to flower since all will bloom profusely when you provide the proper growing conditions. There are three rules for growing African Violets: Proper watering . . . is a Squid Meal for Broiler Chickens The squid, that denizen ot Canadian coastal waters, may soon help broiler chicken operators in Atlantic Canada produce plumper birds in less time. Researchers at Agriculture Canada's Kentville, N.S., Research Station have been testing squid meal as a potential source of protein for broiler chicken feed. The scientists found that broilers with squid meal in their diets put on weight faster than those on a normal diet. The squid meal had no effect on the taste of the chicken -n - I. By Harry Van Belle must, since the leaves are fleshy they can absorb a large amount of water, but will also rot quickly if water is left stan ding in the saucer. The best way is to water from the top, only when the plant needs it, and then give it enough water so that the water will run out of the bottom drainage holes, then check daily to see when it needs more water. Fertilizer . . . buy a fertilizer with a high phosphoric acid and potash content, and then fertilize about once a month. Humidity . . . because the humidity is low in homes in the winter months people think that African Violets will not bloom in the winter. but this is not correct, it will probably be due to lack of humidity. I recommend to place the plants in peatmoss during the winter, or place them on a bed of pebbles so that water will stay in the pebbles, but make sure it does not touch the pots, this will create enough humidity around the plant itself, so that it will flower all year round. African Violets should be placed in as much light as possible, so a north or east window will be ideal, and even south windows during the low light intensity during December and January- Until next week, happy gardening.
