rb a BFE NaN 8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Feb. 13th, 1974 News from Scugog Island On Wednesday evening, 18 ladies of the "Head U.C.W. including Mrs. Elsie Angus met at the home of Mrs. Betty Reader. The Devotions were conducted by Reta Wilson, Grace Love, Belly Reader and. Irene Carter who emphasized Steward- ship in the hymns, prayer and Scripture in use of the Talents and a further study which proved it is the "good" and "faithful" who are re- warded and not necessarily the clever and rich. In the roll call we recalled a medicinal remedy of our: childhood days and Irene Carter had a witty reading on "The bad old days of home remedies." We received a letter of appreciation from Mabel Graham for her Christmas Remembrance.there was also a letter from '"'Cara- vans' as this year marks their 25th anniversary. This is a summer project carried out by young people who are to be congratulated for their efforts. Last summer they conducted street recrea- tion at St. Paul's in Midland, Bible school at Rama and Coldwater. camps for C.G.I.T. and Single Parent Families, also did religious Surveys. Of course they need financial support to carry on. Reta Wilson, Irene Carter and Grace Love presented a Skit. --*"The Trium by the Trio" in which they demon- strated desires and amusing plans for increasing interes- ted membership. Betty presented Bonnie Gerrow with a dainty neck- lace in recognition and appreciation for her excel- lent and faithful leadership as president for 2 years. The week of the 17th is again our turn at the Hospi- tal Tuck Shop. Joyce Heayn handed out Forfeit Calendars to be foll- owed in March. Please don't set them aside and lose them Many used stamps and "Canada Packer" labels were turned in. The next meeting in March will be at the home of Mrs. Marie Clark in Port Perry. Reta Wilson read an amusing anecdote before we were served with a light and. pleasing lunch. "Sympathy is extended to Mr. Cliff Love and his family in the recent bereavement of his brother. Those we know of in hospi- tal now are Jim Wilson for tests and Mrs. Lenore Blue- man for surgery. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Forder have been having the pleasure of having their tiny granddaughter, Tonya Ballard visiting with them while her parents are holi- daying. Those who received prizes at last Monday's euchre party were Ladies 1st Mrs. Myrtle Alsop, 2nd. Mrs. Janis Richardson, 3rd, Mrs. Dolly Hicks. Men's Ist, Maurice Fralick, 2nd Bob Cawker, 3rd Alvin Aldred. Visitors at "Grace" Church on Sunday were Laura Brekke's friend from Bowmanville and Terrie Reader from Oshawa. After service, mimeo- graphed letters were dis- tributed from the Oshawa Presbyterial regarding uni- form store hours. Hon. Geo. Kerr would like a public opinion. So after studying the letter, please send in the enclosed statement voicing your wishes. Rev. Pogue informed us that Rev. Wylie's condi- tion is improving. He will therefore take the service next Sunday assisted by a layman, Mr. Wm. Smythe. Flowers at the alter were in memory of Mrs. Eliz. 1974 and TRAILERS on display SEE THE ALL NEW GLENDETTE GLENELLE Crosier, the mother of Mrs. Elva Thompson. From time to time we are favoured by having piano students play hymns before service. We thank them for their efforts and appreciate their contribution to the ser- vice. There must be many who can help thus. There will be an Official Bd. meeting Thursday, Feb. 28 at Scugog "Grace" church. Thro' a series of Sundays, Rev. Pogue is telling the children about Martyrs in the church. On Sunday, he told of the Jesuit priests who gave their lives around the Midland area to help the Indians overcome disease, grow crops and learn of Jesus over 300 years ago. Rev. Pogue continued this theme with the adults in des- cribing the life, ideals and sacrifice of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Paul, born a jew, was the first to go out and proclaim his belief in spite of persecution. Each of us bears a mark, a scar or a distinguishing feature from inheritance, or our actions. Even from the children's story of Pinnochio we learn that we pay the penalty of indulgence. Mrs. Morven Hughes' brother-in-law of Oshawa has been missing from his home for two weeks and we are sorry there has been no news of him yet. We do feel for the family in this period of stress and uncertainty. The Women's Insitute will meet in the Scugog Island Hall, Wednesday, February 20 at 8 p.m. The Conven- ership for Agriculture and Can.

Russell of Ottawa) to dinner, in the privacy of his room. On Tuesday the Christian Reform Church of Whitby, came to the Home with a fine . service. - Mr. Kiezebrink opened the meeting with a prayer, and several hymns were sung, the first one, the precious one, number 440. He thegn read part of the third Chapter of John -- and announced that a short pro- gram had been prepared. Erika Kiezebrink gave a vocal solo; Joyce and Bever- ly Mulder, piano duet; Joyce Mulder, vocal solo; Beverly Mulder, instrumental; and Joyce Mulder, a vocal solo. This program was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Erika has charmed us on other occasions and this was no exception. The Mulder sisters performed with such talent, ease and dignity, that we hope to hear them again soon. Mr. Ray Bowma, a teacher in the school on Rossland Road, Oshawa, then came forward and read verses from different books of the Bible and from these he based his sermon. He also told us some of his exper- iences while on mission work. This was all very intersting and instructive. Mr. Kiezebrink closed the meeting with a prayer and sang 'God Be with You til we meet again." Miss Pat Hendrick was pianist for the evening. The faithful committee, Mrs. De Yonge and Mrs. McNenley were here on Thursday as usual, on time for the Bingo game. All the usual players were present and the winners were Mesdames Clark, Smallman and Letcher, and Messrs. Samells, Abbott, Hamilton Moroz, Brown and Christie. A nice surprise came to the residents on Saturday. Mrs. announced she had pictures acquired Oshawa Public Library and would show them at seven fifteen. There were three, the "Winter Mosaic" was all about winter sports in snow; and the wonderful designs made at high speed. with snowmobiles and sleds. The "Nickel Nurser" was about a father hiring a young man to try to teach his extravagant daughters the value of money. "King of Blades' -- Don Jackson, was beautiful, told the story of his rise to fame, and showed him wining the World champion- ship and the standing ovation which greeted this magnifi- cent performance. One of the judges said -- "I doubt if the. world will ever see another skater such as Don Jack- son." Thank you Mrs. Nash.
