Accordingly, Ventur- es will start Sept. 14, with Brent Richardson as leader. Scouts will come along Sept. 21 with Bill Bobbie as the temporary new leader. Finally Cubs get started _ Thursday, Sept. 29 (the "night after the turkey supper) with Mrs. Roberta Hamilton as leader. On Wed. evening 16 ladies of the "Head" U.C.W. met at the home of Mrs. Betty Reader. After the usual Devotional and reports, appreciation notes were received from Jerry Taylor who had been off work with an operation on his elbow, and from Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smits on behalf of their daughter and her husband. They also requested us to assist with food for a 25th Wedding Anniversary. A corn and wiener roast was planned for members and their families to be held 'in the "Head" tea-room on Saturday night. $50. was donated the choir to help procure new music. Then plans were finalized for the turkey supper on Wed. Sept. 28. We believe this will be the only turkey supper on the Island this year so you had better re- serve your tickets early from Mrs. Earl Reader or any other member. Next, we made arrange- ments for the Annual Har- vest. Home, Old Fashioned Church Service at the "Head" museum church in October. As this is becom- ing ever more popular, it is necessary to provide for a large crowd. Helen Redman read a poem composed by Lucille Gray especially for Joyce Heayn when the ladies visit- ed in Haliburton. Next, Helen conducted a contest on Pat and Mike and Bonnie Gerrow was the alert winner. There was a fine atten- dance at the Island Church on Sunday when parents brought their children for Sunday School. We were pleased 'to welcome new people and others who had- n't been able to attend for several months. There were also new participants in the choir. Don't wait to be asked if you enjoy music.

If you are new residents on the island, feel welcome to attend he.Island United Church if you are interested as it is difficult to make contacts when there are many frequent. changes. The Anniversary is being planned for Oct. and we hope to contact many. Re-- member, our two ministers are Rev. 'Chas. Clarke of Prince Albert and Rev. Linstead of Port Perry.

Come to the Mardi Gras Friday Night Blackstock Arena PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Sept. 14, 1977 -- 19 Local cadet trains in Banff mountains by Cdt. Lt. Mark Hlozan I left home on Saturday, July 2, 1977 at about 7:45 a.m, to catch the bus in Oshawa. The bus departed at 8:30 am. and I was let off at C.F.B. Trenton and sent to tent city where there were cadets from Ottawa, Mont- real, and Newfoundland. Everyone departed at 7:45 p.m. bound for Calgary, Alberta. We arrived in Calgary at 12:30 a.m. EST which is 10:30 Alberta time. We then boarded buses which took us on an hour and half ride to Banff National Army Cadet Camp. When we arrived at Banff we were assigned to pla- toons. There were seven platoons in all, each consist- ing of 25-30 cadets. The total cadet strength was about 200. The course started off. with basic techniques in mountain movement follow- ed by 2 half day hikes of 8-10 miles each, then one 2 day hike of 25 miles. After that we had a 4-day dura- tion hike. Then there was 3 days spent on rock climbing followed by a one day climb with altitudes ranging from 8,500 to 18,000 ft. After that a four and half day expedi- tion on a glacier where rescue organization and aspects of snow safety were taught. Another part of training was canoeing techniques which lasted for 2 days foll- owed by a white water run of about 60 miles and one day in assault boats on the Kootenay River which is 75 miles long, We were issued equip- ment as necessary, such as two sets of combat clothing, climbing boots, rock hel- mets, ice axes, glacier goggles and snow screen. In conclusion, the total distance travelled through mountain terrain was ap- proximately 200 miles of which 150 miles was with a full back pack. We canoed 150 miles on lakes and white waters. I left to come home on August 18, 1977, at 4:30 a.m. I boarded the plane at 9:00 a.m. from Calgary Inter- national Airport. We de- parted the airport at 10:00 a.m. Alberta time and ar- rived at CFB Trenton at 4:30 p.m. after stopping once at Montreal to let off all the cadets who live in Quebec. 00000000 Just Added Jus ed : to our Rental Inventory z : to help serve you better...
