Barrowclough On Friday afternoon, March 1st,women from four congregations of Hope Township came to Welcome at two o'clock to share the World Day of Prayer service. There were about 40 present to unite with women of the Christian world to pray forai! forai! people. This year's program was prepared by the women of Kenya and an unusual part was taken from the Gikuvu prayers and each part of the prayer was answered by the congregation singing "Ooh ooh, oo, thai." All were welcomed by Mary Kellogg who thanked all those taking ' part. Ona Gardner and June McKeen from Perrytown Anglican church read the invitation from Kenya and scriipture. Taking part from Garden Hill were Susan Jackson, Barbara Trew and Sybil Jackson. The responsive hymn was led by Beryl Cruse. Caroline Byers and Gwen Newton represented Welcome. Gwen was in costume to emphasize that tnis program was fro Kenya. Aileen Austin, Ale da Andrus and June Dundas represented Canton in the service. The offering was received by Sybil Davision and Bertha Trew, and will be used this year to support ongoing work of Women's International .council of Canada and mission projects in Canada and round the world. A delightful flute solo by Betty Taylor of Garden Hill, was accompanied by Beryl Cruse and Barbara Croft was organist for the afternoon. The speaker for the afternoon's message was Elaine Kellogg who was introduced by her mother, Mary Kellogg. Elaine is at present attending the Centre of Christian Studies in Toronto. She received her B.A. from Trent University, spent six years working ini Port Hope with the Anglican mission • for girls, represented Canada in Kenya in 1975 as exchange youth, and spent some time in Barbados with Corr Roads International. She had much of interest to tell as she recalled her work, especially in Kenya. On display were several beautiful carved animals and two male fiigures brought from Kenya by Mr. Forgan, father of Christine Wilson, when he returned to Scotland from his years of residence and work in Kenya. Following the service, a pleasant nour was held discussing the excellently arranged service and other topics good friends talk about when there is opportunity, both personal matters and those which concern Christian people everywhere, while having tea. On Februaryy 22nd, Greenway and Greenspace, Ontario met at Trent University to discuss matters which interest all people concerned with keeping our world green. Jean Payne and Rosemary Tisnovski were in attendance, and say representatives of many organizations, including Oak Ridges Moraine Planning Realities, which is of interest locally as the source of all our streams, were there. It was hoped the Ontario government would designate it as a unique area for study. Congratulations to Rebecca Trueman of Port Britain for receivng an award recently at the Port Hope Legion, for placing first in the Remembrance Day poem competition. Hazel Irwin and daughter Thelma returned a week ago from a pleasant holiday in Florida and Barbara Irwin left about the same time for Florida to spend some time with her mother, Ida Wilson, who is already there. The exceptionally warm weather, especially on March 1st, was cause for concern about ice fishing, but Harold and Verna Austin were at Lake Simcoe on that day and found plenty of ice and also good fishing, but in a couple of weeks all fishing huts have to be off for this year. The 9th volume of Early Families of Port Hope and area, published by the East Durham Historical Society, is back from the printers and is available now from some members, and will be in local stores following the March meeting. The cover features a famous gun with a fascinating story connected connected with one of the families. They include Nichols (2), Gifford (2), Dunbar (2), Lewis, Parsons, Watson and Marvin. Unusual birds have been seen at the Sculthorpe feeder recently, at least one warbler, and a mocking bird. Some years ago, a mocking bird was in the area for most of a winter. At this feeder, doves have been having family reunions, and sit dolefully in the trees when feeders are empty, hoping for crumbs from the hanging feeder available to all small birds only. Actually, a bluejav can hang on long enough to snatch a seed or two. Mrs. Elva Austin attended a birthday party on Saturday afternoon, March 2nd, at Kendal United Church in honour of Catherine Stewart's 90th birthday. Miss Stewart had been Elva's teacher all through her public school years. Congratulations to her and also to Mrs. Clara Sheppard who celebrated her 90th in Port Hope on Sunday, March 3rd. John and Joan McGuirk and Matthew of Burlington visited with the Carroll Nichols' during the weekend. Icy roads prevented some from attending Welcome Church on Sunday, March 3, and no doubt others as well. DURHAM REGIONAL CRIME STOPPERS 436-8477 Singer and songwriter.
