The theme of the Devotion- al was "Individual Responsi- bility". Elizabeth Stichmann Lenore Blueman and Helen Redman took turns in con- ducting the Study concerning our words, ways, works, time, money and life. In the roll call we were requested to tell what comes to our minds when we hear the name "Canada". Notes of appreciation were received from Trudi Zingg, Clara Dowson. There was a complicated discussion re the Chicken Barbecue, usually held in, August. For this year it was suggested that each member donate $5. instead of taking on this project. Helen Hortop will host the September meeting. The W.I. auction sale on Saturday was even more interesting and gratifying than last year. The W.I. will meet in the Hall tonight. There will be many things to discuss. Helen Hortops group will be in charge. This will be Family and Consum- er Affairs. Tim Pearce was invited to, spend list weekend with a "Major" friend at Thames- ville. We all know the excit- ing, departure time is drawing close when he will accompany, on Fiiday, the other chosen scouts on their trip to the World Scout Jam- boree in Norway. Scugog Island Scout group and all the residents are proud to have one of their group chosen. Therefore Thursday evening, tomorrow, has been chosen for everyone to meet with Tim at the Community Hall in an informal social evening to extend best wishes, make presentations and take pictures. It may be a long time before Scugog again has this honour. This will be an incentive for other Cubs and Scouts. We hope they will all be present with their parents. July 25th, the Cubs and Scouts of Scugog will enjoy a weekend at Camp Samac. . We are indebted to such fine leaders who take such an interest in our youth. Mrs. Ethel Redman is now in the new Port Perry Nurs- ing Home and will be pleased to have any of her friends call on her. Scugog Island seems to be getting its share of accidents which have involved Jerry Taylor Jr., Bill Wingrove and Murray McLaren. On Sunday Rev. Pogue read a story from "Man- continued was 114 to 108, and the members or: the Port Perry team were H. DeShane, Bert Fry, S. Collins, and O. Hamilton.

Well, we don't feel it would be as good a location as Scugog, but.... MUSSELMAN'S LAKE - Concern is mounting at this popular lake near Stouffville, Ont., due to the large number of high powered boats being launched there. This past week a boat powered by a 427 cu. in. motor took to the water and crossed the lake in about 15 seconds. The problem is not with the people living there, but with the weekend visitors, according to a local resident. STOUFFVILLE - The town reservoir came very close to running dry, due to a large number of people watering their lawns over the past weekend. The village is using about 1% million gallons of water a day during the dry spell. "It's enlighteriing to hear that other areas are experiencing water problems similar to ours." BOWMANVILLE - Ralph and Denise Fry had unexpect- ed visitors last week when Mrs. Susan Noyes dropped in to see them. The unexpected part was that Mrs. Noyes drove through the livingroom wall of the Fry home causing about $4,000 worth of damage. Brake failure was to blame for the accident. SUNDERLAND - A large new modern medical centre was officially opened on Saturday, last week. Dr. M. B. Dymond of Port Perry was on hand for the opening ceremonies. Among those mentioned was Dr. Archer of Port Perry, who served the area by horse and buggy for many years. ORONO - Over 80 homes in Orono Estates were without water for about 15 hours Sunday night and Monday morning last week. A new well which is now under construction will not be in nperation for another two or three months. "With a little luck, Port Perry should get a new well in two or three years!" GOODWOOD - Uxbridge Council okayed a restaurant for Goodwood last week, but turned thumbs down on the idea of a tavern. Council feels that hamlets should not be allowed to have taverns and will look into adding that into their Official Plan, so they will not have to be concerned with the request for a tavern in a hamlet again. UXBRIDGE - Uxbridge Township is not in what you would call a "building boom" this year. During the month of June only 5 building permits were issued Ee 2 NA bringing the total this year to 24.
