PS aihbrt Soe AS Sl LF RE 8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- - Wednesday, June 20, 1973 Rev. Mark Reeves leaves © Village after four years "In every' charge a min ister reaches the point where he feels he has gone as far as he can, and it is time to move on." Rev. W Mark Reeves preaches his last sermon at Port Perry United Church this Sunday before "moving on' to a new charge at Jarvis, near Simcoe, Ontario. In an in- terview he offered the sim- ple statement above as his reason for deciding to leave the town he has served for the past four years. Rev. Reeves does not think he has brought any startling changes to Port Perry or to religion during his stay here. **'My ministry here was, for the most part, just the same as it has been everywhere else during my thirty years with the church," he comments. Rev. Reeves was born in New Glasco, Nova Scotia. He attended Mount Alliston University in New Bruns- wick and Pine Hill Divinity Hall in Halifax before being ordained. He is married and has RELIABLE PLUMBING & HEATING REPAIRS e ALTERATIONS eo NEW WORK "Service is our business" Bert Faber 985-2012 TWO SHOWS PORT PERRY FAIR GROUNDS Tues. , June 26 Sponsored by Port Perrry Lions Club 6 and 8 P.M.

Despite suggestions that God, or -at least organized religion, is dead the min- ister sees a good future for the church. He says religion has always moved in cycles. There are declines then there are revivals. When the present decline is passed, he says, the church will emerge stronger than ever. "I think we would all take exception' to a claim that God is dead, 1 certainly would." Rev. Reeves takes with him happy memories of his associations in Port Perry, particularly his association with the historical society. The most enjoyable part of his stay, he says, involved helping with the town's cen- tennial celebrations. He wonders if maybe he came to Port Perry too soon. The best years of the area are ahead, he feels. Most of the congregation at Jarvis will be dairy far- mers, and Rev. Reeves is particularly fond of rural charges. Does he think he will be living in Jarvis? It is people who make the community, he says. If he likes the people of Jarvis he will like the town. "I have enjoyed my four years in Port Perry," says Rev. Reeves. Centennial celebrations Celebrations are going an all this week at Columbus in honour of the 100th anniver- sary of the United Church there. Celebrations end Sunday with a gala parade through the streets. Guest speakers at the church this Sunday will in- clude Rev. Russell Young, an extension worker at the Iri Hillside Farm and a missionary to South Korea. A number of ball games and other entertaining act- ivities will take place throughout the day and a beef supper at 6:30 p.m. will round out the weeks cele- brations.

Mark Reeves Hospital On Monday June 18th the Hospital Auxiliary met at 2 p.m. with a large number of members present. The President, Elinor Davidson opened the meet- ing with a humourous read- ing entitled "Essay on Anatomy' which was much appreciated by all. The minutes of the May meeting were read by Mary Cannon and adopted after minor change. The Treasurer reported a Bank Balance of $1,494.57. The Spring Fair netting a total of $711.00, the Hospital Tag Day $167.82. In the absence of the Gift Shop Treas. the President reported May Sales of $167.10 profit and a Bank Balance of $1,333.89.

Mary Cannon reported she still has wool for knit- ting available and there is also quite a bit out at present. Helen Matheson reported the Tuck Shop has been completely staffed by Aux- iliary Members for the summer months. Mr. James Van Camp reported as Administrator of the hospital on activities that had taken place during the past month. At a pre- vious meeting of the Aux. he had been authorized to purchase five fans to be donated by the Aux. and this has been done. He also reported on the results of the Tour of Homes held recently by the Kinettes, the proceeds of which are being used to purchase a Centri- fuge Machine for the hospi- tal. One of the reports those present found most interes- ting was the 'Disaster Drill" during which a sim- ulated emergency school bus accident rushed 19 casualties. This was done in an endeavour to find out just how prepared Port Perry Hospital was to cope with an emergency in which more than ten people had to be treated immediately and also as quickly as possible. The Emergency Health Services helped the "Casu- alties"' prepare the wounds and apparently they were (continued on page 23) 1.
