PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, March 21,1973 --- 7 Nestleton, Caesarea and area news Auxiliary Busy Group The Ladies Auxiliary of Nestleton and Caesarea have quite an undertaking. They attend to all functions of the Brownies, Guides, Scouts and Cubs in this area. On Monday evening March the 5th, a meeting was held in the Caesarea community hall. Mrs. Irma Welts, the President, welcomed the ladies. The minutes of the previous meeting were read as was a letter from the Provincial Advisory Com- mittee of Lady' s Auxil- liaries. Thank' you were acknowledged. A report was rendered concerning the Scout dance to the effect that it was quite successful. Those that were in attendance at this dance, are eagerly anticipating the next Scout dance. The proceeds from these dances is applied to the youth of Cartwright, so your con- tinued patronage will be appreciated. Margaret Duivestyn, treasurer, sub- mitted her report and took the silver collection. A motion was passed that the bill for donuts for the recent Brownie and Cub party be paid. Father, Son Banquet Plans were discussed concerning the menu for the upcoming Father and Son banquet. You Fathers had better keep Saturday, April 7 open as the young fellows look forward to this annual event and they grow up faster than you realize. So jot down Saturday, April 7, time 7:30 in the rec. center, NURSING HOME Mrs. Violet Carriere be- came a new resident of the Home during the week. She hails from Claremont and was transferred from the Cottage Hospital in Ux- bridge. Mrs. Marlowe spent a short while in the Port Perry Hospital and returned 'to the Home on Tursday last. Mrs. Alice O liffe, a member of the Nursing Home staff has been confined to the Port Perry Hospital for the past few weeks. We are glad to hear she is progressing satisfactorily. On Tuesday, March 13th, we had a very pleasant visit from Rev. Reeves, Minister of the Port Perry United Church. Mr. Reeves led in TO ORDER YOUR WINTER FUEL cards NOW S THE TIME Blackstock, put where handy. Many topics were dis- cussed, including the Cub- aree which will be held in Blackstock this year. Nine "packs from various districts shall be hosted by the 1st Cartwright Pack. A thank you was extended to the "ladies that returned scarves and a request that the others be returned also. At the close of the meeting, lunch was served, thus ending an enjoyable evening. The Artof Reminiscing Earl's Place at View Lake, is undergong alterations in preparation for the upcom- ing busy season. This little shop is a virtual beehive of activity from early spring until the first fall of snow. In the summer it is not unusual to see 'Old Timers' sitting in the shade of an ancient tree, discussing the "used to be' as they sip on what one old gentleman refers to as a "sody .pop," and reminiscing about fellow that has a face lined as a page in history, told me of the days when you could, as he put it fire a cannon in either direction and hit nary a thing. This little shop has anything. from nails to rosebushes. Drop in gone day and perhaps you willbe as fortunate as. I and have a ple tlittle ui with one of tifose dear old gentlemen that one finds there on occasion. I wish you luck, for a few moments spent chattering with a lonely old soul can be most rewarding. it is really wonderful hearing of days when life was lived to the fullest, and you had time for neighbours and fishing it some- the singing of such old favourites as "Will Your Anchor Hold," "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross' and 'Where the Gates Swing Outward Never" and in- troduced some numbers that were Quite new to those attending: "I'll fly Away", "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" and "Glory to His Name." Mr. Reeves read several poems by Walt Huntley, who is known as Canada's writer of homespun religious verse and is an active layman in the People's Church, Tor- onto. The style was rem- iniscent of Poems by Edgar A. Guest and they were warmly received by those present.

Work, this one old fellow told me, was started at the first rays of dawn and finished at dusk. He said that it was a body tiring thing, but the Good Lord gave him the long nights to "rest up." This one old fellow that I speak of is only out here in the summer months. He lives only for the time when cottages are in readiness and then he comes out here and as he so plainly phrases it, lives again for a few months. I thoroughly enjoy seeing him, I hope he comes again. As we approached the playful horse, they resented our interference and decided to head for greener pastures . to do so they had to cross Division Street . . . this they did, without hesitation, it was at that moment that a low heart rendering moan came from my daughter's lips. Those fool horses stopped dead in the middle of that busy street and looked contemptuously at trucks and cars that had just lost inches of rubber avoiding hitting them. About this time two gallant truck drivers came to our assistance and the horses were back in the barn once more. We all slowly dragged ourselves back to the house, mud and all and collapsed in chairs to recuperate. The manager of the beautiful, spacious golf course, owned by the town of Cobourg, came over and told the still shaking Eddie not to worry as the roller would repair the damage as the ground was so wet. he said that they use a huge roller and it would smoothe the mess out. This pleased poor Eddie because he was wondering just how NEWS The closing hymn was "God be with you till we meet again' and was preceded by the story of how the hymn was written. It was the product of Rev. Jere- miah Rankin who was a Congregationalist minister in New England and Wash- ington, D.C. just before the turn of the century. While a pastor of a church in the nation'sCapital, he became impressed with the meaning of the farewell greeting, good-bye" which really means, "God be with you" and so he decided to write a . Hymn out of this beautiful idea. Mr. Reeves concluded that no happier farewell can be uttered than the simple wish, "God be with you till we meet again." The ladies had a very successful evening on Thursday winning 5 of the 7 Bingo games played. Prize winners were: Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Phoenix, Mrs. Stani- land, Mrs. Balque, Madam Lafontaine, Walter Chidley and Walter Knight. Vistors to our Nursing Home are sometimes dis- turbed and annoyed by the sound of buzzers in the building. They often wonder how the residents and staff can stand the noise. The management of the home are complying with régula- tions. The Inspectors of the I Dept. of Health insists that the buzzers be installed on all Nursing Home Entrances and Exits. Ty 1 op. he could smoot" the manager out. Long after the sound of screaming brakes, limited vocabulary and vociferous voices had faded into nothingness, we managed to convince Lynda and Eddie that their embarrassment would not be known by too many people as those involved had gone about their business. We said our good byes to our loved ones and then as we were leaving Bill turned the car radio on to catch the "local news. The first item we heard was all about the community round up that had taken place . . . names and all. As we slowly headed down the driveway we heard Lynda mutter something and I'm not sure if it was darn those rotten hourses or courses. Thus ended a beautiful spring-like day and a visit to the normally quiet and serene Keller's farur On Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. G. Heaslip and Mr. and Mrs. M.Nesbitt atended the wed- ding of Mr. Heaslip's grandson, James to Cherryl Williams. The wedding took place in the Queen St. United Church, Lindsay.
