6 -- _ PORT PERRY STAR - -- Wednesday. Nov. 0, 1976 Scugog island and area news Hore By Mrs. Earl Reader On Wednesday evening, 18 ladies met at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Stichmann for the "Head" U.C.W. Asa visitor, we were pleased to welcome Mrs. Helen Hortop's mother, Mrs. F. C. Points out findings continued increase in housing apd population assuming that the penitentiary staff would want to live near their work and would wish to do busi- ness here. As to our moral responsi- bility pointed out in the second editorial in last weeks Star, I fail to see what possible service we could provide for the unfortunate lawbreaker if he can't get out and we can't get in as is "ment the case in Maximum Secur- ity Institutions of this type. The Mayor of Kingston has stated that the establish- of a penitentiary results in an influx of people who make an illicit living by supplying drugs, weapons, alchohol and contraband of all kinds. In view of this, perhaps, we should consider our moral obligation to our own people. "Yours truly, Nancy MacMillan Bradbury of Cobourg. The president, Mrs. Marion Carter, opened thé' meeting with a short quot- ation and then announced the various Devotional numbers, led by. Mrs. Beryl Pearce's group. During roll call, members stated how they would like to be treated if they were sick or shut in. It proved that most like to be remembered by cards, calls, brief messages or Mystery Sisters. The treasurer reported the highest income for the year, that we've ever had. There- fore, we later took pleasure in dispersing this in many worthwhile directions.

Our 'members, and those who co- operated, deserve a lot of credit for the work done through the year. Next, we were given fur- ther explanations of the pro- posed restoration of the "Head Memorial" Museum Church and 'the Museum Board will be given permis: sion to go through the first step of research into -its earlier history. If anyone has information that might add to some of the recorded facts, please contact Mrs. Clifford Redman at the pre- sent time. We are now ready to make an announcement re the "Head" Community Mystery Sfster Supper.

This week two well-known Island residents will be in Toronto hospitals. Mrs. Grace Love went to the Western on Sunday to have surgery on some leg veins, On Tuesday, Mr. Anson - Gerrow went to the General where he expects to have surgery on both knees to relieve the suffering he has experienced all summer. We wish success and more comfort for both of these "Head" residénts. On Sunday at "Grace" Church, there was a very interesting and appropriate "Remembrance Day" Ser- vice. Rev. Geo. Wylie was a Chaplain overseas during World War II and presently is a member of the Scar- borough Kiwanis Club. Therefore, he invited the Club with their wives to visit the Scugog Pastoral Charge and help on this occasion. It turned out that most of the present and past executive with their wives obligingly arrived. The members who assisted had all given ser- vice in the war and were therefore well qualified to take part. The first Vice-President, Mr. Harold Edwards was introduced as a remarkable man. When he retires from his executive position with Simpsons, he intends to at- tend Wycliffe College in preparation for Service to God. He therefore was chosen as an appropriate person to give a Remem- brance Day talk. He introduced his com- ments with a question, "What should we remem- ber?' This might bring a variety of answers. But for himself, he recalled his early life in South Wales when the family wag'a com- plete unit, also when people were léss concerned for material gains and had time to enjoy friends 'and relax. In earlier days, community activities were generated in the Church. During the war, he was impressed with the unselfishness of friends and comrades. For 30 years we have been blessed with Peace. The changes that have taken place since '1939 can be classed 'as good and bad. But we still have our freedom to speak, think and worship as we choose. In = 'conclusion, Mr. Edwards reminded us thata ~~ ® responsibility has peen pas- sed on tous to accept and remember -that God is still at the centre of all things and unchangeable. The first hymn chosen was one that was read every day during World War I, No. 523, 0 God of Love, O King of Peace, Make wars through- out the world to cease. Rev. ¢ Wylie read a poem written by Robert Service 'in memory of his brother who was killed in World War I, entitled '"Where are you going young man, my lad?" We also learned of a person- al war time experience of Mr. Jim Elliot of Manchester. Mr. Morris Orzech, who came to us in May, arrived in time to read the oft recited and never to be for- gotten poem of Flanders Fields. This group of Kiwanians moved on to the Manchester Church, where more were waiting. After a lovely ser- vice there, all enjoyed a noon lunch. While on the subject of Sing og Day, we wish to say how happy we are to send congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Jim Elliot whose son, Robert, was chosed to lay a wreath at the Ottawa % Cenotaph on November 11, to represent the youth of Canada. Some weeks ago, we read Robert's essay in the Port Perry Star and were pleased to learn that he was considered a winner across Canada. Then we were pleased to see him at the High School Commence- ment to receive his award RY from the Canadian Legion and a standing ovation from: the audience. So don't for- get to see your Port Perry boy on T.V. on Thursday. On Sunday, the family of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred and Elsie Angus travelled to Kinmount to surprise them for a 25th Wedding Anniver- sary celebration. This inclu- ¥ ded Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Reader, Mr. and Mrs. Don Ashbridge, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Luke of Raglan, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Dowson of Peterborough and some of their families. The Sunday School at "Grace" Church.is doing' very well this year. How- ever, teachers occasionally » have to drop out. So at present, a teacher for the age group 9 to 11 is needed. We know there are lots who have the ability and the interest to help in this capa- city, so please phone Mrs. Robert Cawker, GOING OVERSEAS You'll Need A PASSPORT PHOTO PORT PERRY STAR BY
