8 THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, JULY 20th, 161 Summer Activities Summer is a tinie of great activities. We rush here to see a show, we take off there friends, we decide to go swimming, or picnicking, or perhaps we think its high time we mowed the lawn or got after those weeds in the garden. Whatever it is, we're busy, and happy and really enjoying the summer days. But it doesn't make much in the way of news for the paper, so unless someone has a wedding or a family gathering or some other item of interest our column will likely be rather slim until the fall" activities start. to visit some --o000-- Tour of Parkwood Approximately 200 members of hor- ticultural societies, from Agincourt, Scarboro, Markham, and Brooklin, enjoyed the privilege of a conducted tour through the beautiful 1l-acre estate of Colonel R. S. McLaughlin, Oshawa on Monday evening July 10. The estate superintendent, Mr. Blore, and his staff were on hand at the main gate promptly at 7.456 p.m. to welcome the visitors as they streamed from buses, and con- __veyances, to attend this special and long-awaited event.

Jshally this Commandment is inter- preted in its most narrow' sense, namely, direct cursing or substitu. tions such as Frank Tumpane in the Evening Telegram exemplified in his column of July Tth. There is, however, a far wider con- notation said Mr. Stackhouse. When we are baptised it is the name of God the Son and Holy Spirit. In other words, we have become a mem- ber of a family and named, just as a child born to a Smith or a Jones has the name of Smith or Jones. We, therefore, become named Chris- tians and as such should be loyal to the family. Jesus or Joshua is the Saviour in old Hebrew and Christ is the Lord. The two are synonymous and unless we combine them we are taking the name of the Lord in vain. Martin Luther was a typical example of be- lieving in one but not the other. He spent his life working for Christ but was quoted as saying he hated God and therefore Jesus the Saviour. --000-- 0f Many Things ~ By Ambrose Hills I LOVE AIRLINE STEWARDESSES Girls who get turned down when they apply for jobs with CPA or TCA as air stewardesses speak of having been given their "ugly papers." There is an idea abroad that a broad must be broad dnd also curvy to land these cherished jobs. I am now an expert on the subject.

They do a superb job. 'It would be. interest- ing to know how select so many fine, even-tempered girls, who are so completely impartial in the manner in which they serve passengers. ' It doesn't matter whether you are a homely old coot or an attractive young bachelor type--the girls treat you as if you were Lothario himself. Women travelling with a couple of youngsters find that the alr hostesses are minis- All this courtesy is provided without benefit of tips--and the fact that there is no tipping may even have a good deal to do with the consistent quality of the service. In short, I love airline stewardesses. I don't mind them being quite good looking, -but I don't think looks have much to do with their popularity, It is more a question of -attitude and character and courtesy. I confess that I am a rather attractive male, in spite of thinning hair, receding chin, a rather prominent Adam's apple, and a few other minor flaws, but I get no special treatment, the same deal . . . attention, helpfulness. 1d better stop now. to get really excited about this subject fine airline stewardess! --0(Q0-- Air Parcel Post Rates Cut By Post Office ly 17 percent in domestic air parcel post rates were announced recently by Postmaster General William Ham- ilton in disclosing the first general revision of air parcel post rates since the inception of this service more than eight years ago.
