News from Seagrave and area Except for next Sunday's church services, it seems that Seagrave has Jone all its public Christmas cele- brating for 1974. And still more than a week until the big day! Last week started with a Guides bazaar and a U.C.W. Unit 1 party, which we reported. } These were followed by the big U.C.W. party on Wednes- day evening. There was a good attendance of at least 3 times as many ladies as usual and included some former members who enjoy coming back at times. } The program followed the usual pattern but omitted the business period in favour of more social items. The devotional consisted of a candle-lighting service taken by Mrs. K. Sturman, Mrs. E. Durward, Mrs. B. Wana- maker, Mrs. R. Puckrin and Mrs. L. Somerville. Musical numbers were provided by Mrs. Tobin, Mrs. Abraham 'and Mrs. Lee, readings by Mrs. Beacock, Mrs. R. Puckrin and Mrs. Barr, con- tests by Mrs. Belair and a game by Mrs. Bruce. Santa came at lunch time and gifts were exchanged. Everyone went home quite happy. On Friday night the Christ- mas concert sponsored by the S.S. drew a whole church full of people, a large pro- Two children perish in fire An Ontario Fire Marshal investigator says it's pos- sible the fire in the Clare- mont home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Taylor may have been caused by the oldest of the two children playing with matches. Another possibility cats- ing the fire Friday, last week, is an overheated light- bulb. that took the lives of Douglas, 5, and Terry, 3, and injured the parents Frank portion of whom were young- ish. Each S.S. class contri- buted a number or two and these were interspersed with periods of carol singing. There was only one solo performer, Joanne Nobbs, who gave a piano number. Super Beacock was Mr. Chairman, and Mrs. Tobin a sort of jack-of-all-trades as she occupied the piano bench quite a bit of the time. In due time, Santa, with two help- ers, came dancing in and bedlam reigned from then on. Santa came again on Sat- urday to our general store. He arrived about 3 p.m. to be greeted by crowds of child- ren and some not so young. Our grocer reports handing out 160 bags of candy to the kids and gallons of coffee to the others. Two of our partying famil- ies beat most of us to it by having their first Christmas dinner on the weekend. On Saturday night, Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Short, Mrs. Gladys Short, Miss Shirley Short and Mr. Gillson dined with Mr. and Mrs. Gary Twiner in Uxbridge. The Wanamakers had their family dinner on Sun- day at the Neil Wanamaker home. Present were Mr. and Mrs. B. L., Mr. and Mrs. Ron and family, Oshawa, Mr. and Mrs. Bill, Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. G. A., Port Perry, Mrs. Gibson and sons, Port Perry and. Mrs. Knowles. Our one hospital patient will 'likely miss his usual Christmas dinner. He is Mr. Bruce Land who will be in Port Perry Memorial for an indefinite stay. On Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Walter King and Mrs. Edith Bruce called at the W. Tristram home in Scarbor- ough where Mr. H. Eagleson was having his birthday party. Mr. and Mrs. Belair had Sunday evening supper with the Robt. Taylor family on the Island. Church service departed a Believe it or not, there was not a single announcement on our church calendar this week. S.S. was as usual but the Youngsters were getting affected by the Christmas spirit. The birthday box got a lift from Joe Stone Jr., Shane Branton and Mrs. Clements. Services at the usual hours next week and we are expecting something special at both services. In S.S. there will be a program instead of classes. Mr. R. W. Smith must be having a wonderful time these days. Number y PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Dec. 18, 1974 -- 15 ' I'ive in a Scries - "I Will Prepare | Myself..." By Mike Rothenberger Dale Carnegie & Assoc. Inc., New York. Copyright 1965, Dale Carnegie & Assgc., Inc. They tell of the old lamp- lighter who lived in a small vil- lage, It was his daily duty to care for and light the lamps on the streets. He came downtown each evening, just before, dusk, with his small ladder and his kit of tools and supplies. He al- ways started with the first lamp, down in the lower end of town. He walked up to the lamppost, positioned his ladder with oil and trimmed the wick. He cleaned the glass windows and then lighted the lamp. Down the ladder and on to the next lamp he would go. And so was his daily routine, lighting one lamp and then the next. One lamp at a time, he kept working up the hill, around the bend and out of sight. And the villagers said they could always tell where he had been by the lamps he had lighted. There is a thought in this story for us. Man cannot be at his best until he has learned to appreciate the thoughts, the feelings and the reactions of other people. Only after we have acquired the ability to walk, mentally, in the other person's shoes can we win his good will, his support and his esteem. Once we have learned to see things, honestly, from the other person's point of view, then we can expect his cooper- |, ation. Each of us has the opportu- nity every day to light a lamp of kindness for someone. Or, if we choose, we can blow out a light and cause a bit of dark- ness to take its place. If we really want to, we can develop the skills that enable us to get along graciously with others. History reveals that even Benjamin Franklin was quite arrogant and thoughtless of oth- er people when he was a young man. But, through determined effort, he eventually developed a keen appreciation for the feel- ings of those with whom he came in contact. And, because he did, he became a great dip- lomat who was admired and re- spected by thousands. We can prepare ourselves for a richer life if we will follow his exam- ples. Surely each of us want to live our lives so that people will say of us, too, we can always tell where he has been by the lamps he has lighted in the hearts and lives of other people. Confidence.
