Port Perry Kinsmen Club was the host club last Saturday at the Pre-Term meeting of the District Governor and his Deputies. District Governor Lorne Scanlon, of the Port Perry club chaired the meeting which is used to acquaint all the new Deputy Governors and set an agenda of events for their term. Saturday, June 23 the annual Beacock Reunion was held in the Recreation Centre at Blackstock. And very grateful the clan felt for the warm building as I since learned that par- ticular day per date was the coldest in 140 years statistics of weather recorded in Toronto. Following registration and noon lunch the president Elmer Beacock ably tabled the meeting. Secretary Joan Hartwik read minutes after which moments of silence was observed in memory of COCIC DOO OOOO! 25250 52 those passed on during the year. Calvin Beacock submitted an explicit treasurers report, also the latest facts concer- ning the process of up-dating the printing of the Family Tree. Get your order in, one day you might regret to neglecting to do so. Some of you perhaps do not realize genealogy is a fascinating hobby but entails a mammoth amount of search- ing family roots.

Scugog Island by Mrs. Earl Reader In spite of the intense heat on Saturday The Women's Institute felt they had a successful auction. Perhaps the crowd was smaller due to many other activities on top of the heat, but items were attractively priced and many people went home happy and satisfied with their interesting purchases. We were sorry to hear that the serious case of shingles suffered by Angus Wilkinson did not improve as fast as could be desired and it was necessary for him to go to the Toronto General Hospi- tal. The last report we have was favourable and we all hope for rapid improve- ments now. Many people braved the continued heat on Sunday morning to attend the Island Church Service where spe- cial music was presented by about 19 members of the Sr. Citizens Choir. They looked very chic in their white tops and with the ladies in long black skirts. They are a very enthusiastic group and sang just beautifully. We shall look forward to having them again. We are also pleased to have.a social period with them after the service while sharing a tasty lunch, Next Sunday the special music will be conducted by Margaret Van Camp and our own choir will sing number 37 in the blue book. So try to be present tho' there will not be a Thursday practice. We wish. to thank the. ladies who provided lunch and help on Sunday. It was very nice to see Cliff Love and Clarence Carter able to attend again. Many Island families have shared in the seeming epi- demic of chicken pox. This week: Sandra Pearce is at Camp Quin-Mo-Lac with her friend from Port Perry. Last Tuesday, a large number of 4H members visit- ed several farms in the area to judge cattle. Among those visited were farms of Jack Chambers, Murray Jackson, Earle Lunney and Harold Forder. Following the judg- ing they met at the Commun- ity -Hall. Mr. Jim Wilson is now living in the Nursing Home where life seems to be much better for him.
