Kinsmam fall USC7BPVL AREFIS EE SEN SS HS yO IA Ya 'y PEL A SLI W VN V We A Nursing Home News On Monday night we were favoured by the presence of the Kinettes, the committee being Terrie Langille, Caro- lynn Scanlon and Angie Di- naut. It was film night and Pascal Dinaut showed the pictures. The first one was a Lareland Hardy episode called "Tit for Tat". Wonder if anyone recalls it. "Scenes of Northern Ont: ario'" was the next and the pictures were of the country north of Lake Superior called Ojibway Country. The scen- ery was breath-taking, scantily populated and we glimpsed lakes, hugh cliffs, forests and young Indians plaving games. A forest fire was shown, starting as a handful, and was soon a roaring, raging inferno, and the beautiful trees were all burning. One could not help thinking of'the poor frightened animals, big: and little, running this way and that, looking for a way out - and there was no way. Aflerward the complete de- vastation of the area was shown. "Animals of the Zoo' - The story of a mischeivious boy with a water pistol, teasing the animals. He was caught by a fat zoo-keeper after a hard chase, given an old- fashioned spanking and plac- ed in a small cage labelled "Wild Boy". The animals all walked curiously around the cage of the thoroughly fright- ened boy. Taken from his uneasy position at last we Study of English and History mandatory The mandatory study of [English and Canadian studies for Ontario's secon- dary school students has been defined in the new Secondary School Diploma Requirements document re- leased by Education Mini- ster Thomas Wells last week. Mr. Wells announced in November that students en- tering secondary school this will be required to complete four credits in Fnglish studies and two cre- dits in Canadian studies in order to earn a secondary school graduation diploma. Ja The document issued to- day interprets English studies as traditional courses in English and Anglais and others such as creative writing, journalism, business correspon- dence. scientific reporting and dramatic arts. Canadian Studies is de- lined as any course which has its major purpose the study of some aspect of Canadian society be it his- torical. environmental, cul- tural. ecconomic political, geographical or sociological.

The pleasant evening end- ed with refreshments and a hearty thank you from Mr. Christie to the Kinettes for the fine evening. Despite a meeting of the Presbytery in Oshawa, Rev? Brawn came to the Home and spent an instructive half hour, which the residents fully appreciated. He played the piano, while the congre- gation gathered at 7 p.m. Rev. Brawn opened the meeting with a hymn and a prayer. He then read the nineteenth chapter of the book of John and followed this by the story of a little boy of six years who willfully broke his wagon all to pieces. This act was explained and excusgd by the saying "That's human nature". As time went on his destructive actions grew worse but peo- ple still said, "Boys will be boys." By the time he was in his thirties he was an alcoho- lic and worse. The service was closed by a prayer by Rev. Brawn and the singing of the one hund- red and first hymn. On Wednesday at 2 p.m. the members of the U.C.W. of Grace Church, Scugog Island gave the residents of the Home a fine time by preparing a concert, sing- song and general friendly social afternoon. The program - Introduct- ion by President, Mrs. Mad- eline Cawker. Sing-song by Norma Crowell and Colleen Wingrove. Play by Christine ~ Prentice, Norma Crowell and Elsie Pogue. Accordian solo by Robert Kroonenberg. Vocal solo by Bill Wingrove. Poem read by Yvonne Apple- ton. Duet by Bill and Colleen Wingrove and closing re- marks by Madeline Cawker. The Chair-person was Mrs. Wingrove and pianist was Mrs. Redman. The dining-hall was well filled and the program well received and varied; the sing-songs were old favour- ites. The social hour after the concert, the tasty refresh- ments served, made the afternoon a great success and the people of the Home say a very sincere 'Thank you."
