This was also visible al Sunday church service by the larger congregation due to the presence of visiting relatives and friends. The choir did their share music-wise with Mrs. L. Pereman and Mr. B.

Currie, Port Perry, evening thirty-five close relatives and neigh- bours gathered at the home Howard Of Facts And Fantasy by Reta M. Berrill TWO KINDS OF LOVE Money is the root of all evil. How often this is said, but. like many another it's a quote misquoted. It comes from the bible and is found in 1. Timothy. V1. 10 and of course reads, The love of money is the root of all evil. And therein is a difference. Money qur medium of exchange is needed and necessary, Atrived-for and harmless. But as many other goed things it too can be tortured into becoming a thing gf evil -- to drug the mind or turn an otherwise loyedble person into something beyond recognition. We know'the condition is not unique, and we know whereof we speak. Yet. give you one man of fiction. The only symbol he understands is the dollar sign and all of his five senses are geared in that direction. There's no touch or sight to equal a bulging wallet. or sound, to match a ringing cash-register, if it's ringing for him. In fact, he'd forfeit his mother's love and sell his own soul for one fistful of one-dollar bills. All material products are examined minutely for -- not instructions on how to assemble, launder or maintain -- but for the dollar sign. How much did it cost? And how much is it worth? He's long forgotten that old-fashioned commodity we call love, or thinks, who needs it? All his world requires; all he hears and sees are those varicolored bits of paper, and the jingle of the coin. Because to him, money not only talks, it sings -- and in any language: Initially, though cunning, he can also be quite charming: Sweet-talks the unsuspecting into being generous beyond their intention, then will jokingly confide to his cohorts, how gullible '"'some people" are. Although he can only eat a certain-amount, which is usually too much for his health's sake; he hoards food like there was no tomorrow for other than himself. All his personal possessions are superior (?) and his mind is a catalogue of comparisons, dates and prices. But there's two little words that have never bothered to pop into his head, namely, Who Cares? And we'd never be able to convince him that, The best things in life are not things. Nor is he (Robin Hoodish) he harbours no dreams for enriching the lives of others. All charities are crooked. And he drools suspicions, even as he works, for, but one boss, Mr. Me. Snuggering, he brags as he counts the eyes he's pulled-the-wool-over, and of how he's fooled the establishment. "Income taxes! 'naaw' there's ways." Yet, when the time comes to cash-in on government hand-outs he'll be there with both hands out and his pockets empty. Had he cheated big, we could more easily understand or forgive. But his deals are usually petty. He uses small people -- his own people; they're least 'suspecting.' And although his profits are often trivial, the hurts he inflicts are real. Like the old story of the dog and the bone -- he held the real thing in his teeth, but mistook his own reflection in a pool to be another, maybe bigger, and grabbed for that too. Losing both. Just as our man cast aside the old-fashioned love with, who needs it? And ends up with a mess of potash. Meanwhile, failure rides on his shoulder and the reasons tag along. But otherwise alone -- he slides to his day of totaling on a high-way greased with greed. For, even if he's stashed-away a bundle, he can't take it with him, as it's been duly noted -- we never see a Brinks' vehicle in a funeral procession. But, that old-fashioned love; the stuff he'd abandoned way-back-there, could have gone along, reached beyond and, enshrined a memory. We've called him fictional, but is he? Haven't we all met this person, male or female, at least once? And many, too, will have been reminded of that old proverb; The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly well. Jeffrey for the purpose of helping celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. The hands of the clock informed us of the nearing of midnight as a result.a near life-long neighbour Mr. Earl Martyn ably acted as chairman referring to school days up to the present and they had also contributed much to the wel- fare of our midst. On behalf of the party- group another neighbour Mr. Les Beacock presented the honoured couple with a heartshape plaque bearing green paper which is handy on a shopping sprea. The recipients also unwrapped a piece of furniture from their own family, and swag lamp and several useful silver pieces from relatives. Howard and Doris expressed their gratitude for the gifts and the evening in general. At this time everyone par- took of delicious cold buffet. Relatives were present from Millbrook, Lindsay, Port Perry and local. The Prince Albert Hall board held its regular meeting last = Wednesday night May 8. Topics. of dis- cussion included future policies regarding 50 - 50 draws etc. The Wednesday meetings of the Mischief Makers and the application for capital expenditures to repair the front entrance. Mr. Neil Hunter presented a lease agreement which was read and signed. It was decided the regular weekly euchres would sign off Thursday, May 30. Many thanks to the card-fans who patronized these parties. Hope to see you all next autumn. Local mothers and their pre-school age children are "most welcome to attend the Mischief Makers held every Wednesday morning in the hall. Excellent idea in order to meet new friends and the wee ones enjoy all the various activities from the playpens and walkers. Friday evening May 3, the Recreation Centre proved a comfortable place for an opportunity to offer our feel- ings towards Mr. and Mrs. Grant Hunter and eldest daughter Susan whom are all now residing in Port Perry. All the Hunter family were present for the occasion. Nine tables of euchre were in play for two hours after which prizes were awarded to those holding. the high score. At the proper moment a loyal neighbour, Mr. E. Mar- tyn, acting as M. C. reques- ted the three guests of honour come to the front. Earl voicing opening re- marks also read a heart- warming address. Mr. and mrs. Herman Kiezibrink and Mr. Les Bea- cock presented (on behalf of names on card) a brown bridge set apd oval hall mirror. A girl across the road, Kimmerley Kiezibrink handed Susan a travelling clock. All three recipients in turn responded appreci- atively. A close friend Mrs. Roy "Norma" Robinson composed an article per- taining to the daily chores on a farm and read "Especially Milk Cans." As a result Norma handed Grant and Eva a pair of miniature milk cans in the form of a set of salt and peppers. Rev. apd Mrs. Brawn managed to be pre- sent amid their bulging » H .
