There was quite a problem a~ to the location for the 1974 Pine RidgeCamporee and until Mr. Wilf Vine Kindly offered the facilities of his woods surrounding Laurel Brook Park, which he owns, the Scouters had planned to hold the event in a Provincial Park, which at this time of the year would be rather crowded. The boys and their leaders gratefully accepted Wilf's offer. It is not at all unusual for Wilf Vine to contribute to any endeavour of the Cubs or Scouts in this and other areas. Since the last Camporee many Cubs have graduated to Scouts, while as many Scouts have moved on to various fields. This Campo- ree was a marvelous oppor- tunity for the boys to renew aquaintances and form new ones. At this Camporee all in attendance found that the week end was not only fun but interesting and infor- mative. They learned that being a Scout brings a sense of pride to the individual, a keen sense of accomplishm- ment and the unending de- sire to better oneself in the future. The patrols signed in on Friday evening, and on Sat- urday morning the official opening ceremony was held, followed by a day consisting of games, renewing acquain- tances and in the evening enjoying a sing-a-long and a few skits, around a warm campfire, Sunday morning "Scout's Own" was held. This is a special time dedica- ted to not only the physi- ELECTRICAL © PLUMBING | Residential - Commercial - And Heating] |New & Old Work - Also Pumps] CARPENTRY General SERVICE CALLS - Call 985-7679 FREE ESTIMATES RON RANKIN and SONS ALL TRADES LICENCED. cal but the Spiritual aspect of Scouting. A time when boys evaluate just exactly what heing a Scout implys. Following this impressive service the boys enjoyed watching their leaders tac- kle the obstacle course that they themselves had under- gone on Saturday. A swim'was on the agenda for Sunday afternoon. Awards were then represent- ed to a member of the Toronto No. 207 troop for the best camper and to one of the Ist Cartwright Patrols for the best Patrol. Those in attendance were two Scouts and one Scouter from Toron- to, two Patrols from Port Perry, two from Greenbank, the 1st Scugog from Man- chester and three Patrols from the 1st Cartwright Visitors were Dave Samonal of the Greater Tor- onto Service Team and three Cubs from Toronto and Mr. Gordon Cooledge of Caes- area, accompanied by two of his sons. Commemorative crests were distributed to all. Plans are being dis' ,ss- ed regarding a Campor, 2 in the fall and another in the winter.

She loves to eat but each morsel that she devours becomes a problem weight wise. Sue not only lost the poun- dage that she vowed she would, she retained that weight loss for over three month$ and intends to conti- nue to do so. Therefore she has become the first T.0.P.S. member in this area. (Keep off pounds sen- sibly). So congratulations to you Sue for a chore well done. Seeing you as you look now proves that the T.OP.S. club is well worth joining. Winner for the month of June for the most weight loss is Irene Wray also of Caesarea. Con- gratulations to you also Irene. . Well summer must be here.

Many friends and neighbours at- tended this fun filled event. Song and dance routines were the highlight of the evening as Len Prout and the guest of honour displayed their amazing talents.

The final meeting for the season of the United Church Women was hosted by Mrs. Victor Parsons in her home on Tuesday afternoon of last week. The meeting opened with the theme hymn follow- wed by an extended wel- come to the ladies by their President Mrs. Grahame Fish. Selecting as the theme for the devotional, "Sorrow and It's Spiritual Value," Mrs. George Till related the fact that to have known sorrow in one's lifetime detracts not from a persons overall out- look on life but on the contrary, has a tendancy to broaden one's insight into what we as mere humans are. For to have felt deep sorrow in any manner, especially in the loss of a loved one is to know that death, dire although it may seem at the time, is merely a culmination of living, and that cach of us is but an entity that at any given time mav be taken by the Good (continucd on page 21)
