Bob, who was only 28, leaves to mourn his passing his widow, Lana and small son Stewart who is not yet 2 years old. Lana is well known to many of our school children as she is the genial bus driver for one of Dorrell- Rohrer bus lines. Sincere sympathy is extended to Lana and her son as well as to Bob's parents and other relatives in the Oshawa area. Mrs. Alma Fowler spent Sunday as guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Rutherford of Seagrave. Better health is extended to Mrs. Arnold Taylor who Rangers attend Church service in Oshawa Captains and members of the Cartwright Ranger Company, No. 1, of Black- stock, dressed in full uniform, went to Oshawa Saturday, February 15, and attended a service at the College Park Seventh-day Adventist church. The Rangers have been studying the beliefs of differ- ent religions, one of the requirements for earning the Duke of Edinburgh award. They invited D. J. Handy- sides, pastor of the Oshawa Seventh-day Adventist church to come and explain about his church of approx- imately 900 members. He did so on January 27, bring- ing with him Miss Siegrid Janot, director of the Junior Pathfinder Club of his church. As a result of his visit, the Rangers decided to visit the College Park church. The Cartwright Company is com- posed of 16 girls, 15 to 19 years of age, four of whom could not go because of weekend jobs. Some of the girls who did attend had been able to get off work to do so. Following the morning ser- vice the girls and their cap- tains were entertained at a dinner in the recreation hall of the church, and afterward visited the new girl's dormitory of Kingsway Col- lege, operated in Oshawa by the Seventh-day Adventists. Captains of the Cartwright Company No. 1 are Mrs. Shirley Turner and Mrs. Blake Gunter, who accom- panied the girls on their visit to the Oshawa church.
