We welcomed members of the Baptist church on Tues- day for a religious meeting at 7 p.m. Pastor Payne being unable to come, Mr. Hook lead the m eeting, and opened by announcing they hymn 'Blessed Assurance' to be lead by Mrs. Dan Tipton, who then offered up a fine short prayer. All the singing was ac- companied by Mr. Hook with his concertina which was very pleasing. Mrs. Elfred lead in the singing of "Trust and Obey." The Mr. Elfred gave a very impres- sive testimoney. Mr. Lloyd King was one of the group, he looked and is so much better and was warmly greeted by patients and staff. Mr. Hook then called on Brother Hiltz who said he was new in town and al- ready liked Port Perry very much. He then read from Matthew 26 Chapter, be- ginning at verse 6. Mrs. Hook accompaning herself on an auto-harp sang 'The Wonder of it all"'. Then Mr. Hook spoke a few very earnest and sin- cere words that will stay in our minds. Mrs. Aiken closed the meeting by singing with us the lovely favorite "What a friend we have in Jesus." Mr. Hamilton thanked the group for their kindness in coming to us and for the good that we received from their efforts.

May 27 to June 2 is nursing home week in Ontario. Nursing Home Week A home away from home by, Bruce Arnold Sometimes Grace D'Andrade, Director of the Community Nursing Home in Port Perry, wonders why science spends so much time trying to prolong life, when society programs al. of its activities for the young. Fifty four people live at the nursing home. The youngest is in his thirties, but the average age is closer to eighty. In most cases the resi- dents are mentally active people who would like to remain a part of the town's social structure. Mrs. D'Andrade feels that most groups fail to share nursing home residents enthusiasm for social integration. ® Chemicals ee PP" PTV TV T TTT T Port Perry, Ont. DON'T "They are isolated from the rest of the community," she complains. Some people do care of course. The legion drops by to entertain residents once in a while. Local churches take turns providing relig- ious services at the home. The Kinettes provide bus trips. And every week two volunteers drop by to run a bingo. Mrs. D'Andrade speaks highly of these vol- unteers, but quickly points out that more are needed. This is Nursing Home Week in Ontario and Mrs. D'Andrade is trying to get people to think about their own futures. As miracle drugs and other signs of progress continue to add more and more years onto your life expectancy she suggests that you give some thought to how your senior years will be spent. Halt the homes residents are men, but nearly all the activities are designed for women. ; "The biggest problem is idle time," says Mrs. D'Andrade, residents have a lot of idle time." "We can see that they get fed and take their medicine, but only the community can make them feel wanted." she points out. It is nursing home week. When you have finished helping with your little league ball team, painting scout hall, planning your 4-H picnic or sewing that afghan for girl guides give a little thought to their future. And yours. ® [In-Ground Vinyl Lined Pools ® Above Ground Pools ® Jacuzzi Filtration Equipment ® Accessories 22 Shapes & Sizés To Choose From LET US HELP PLAN YOUR POOL NOW!"
