The roll call will be 3 items for the fish pond draw at the July Auction. For the program, a well known person will give a talk on auctioneering. Bring along some spare money in case you wish to take part in a surprise pro- ject. Visitors are always welcome. Between now and Auction Day, everyone is requested to save unneeded items for the pick up. They are always glad to receive toys, dishes, utensils, house- hold or personal accessories, furniture, etc. The things you don't need any more are always useful and a joy to someone else. You are con- veniently ridding yourself of excess holdings and doing your community a favour. Last year you probably took part in the Fund Day at Sunrise Beach and remem- ber the good time you had. If you didn't manage to get there you'll have another chance this year on August 1. What is to-day called Sun- rise Beach on the east side of the Island was apparently marked on early maps as Scugog Village. At present there are about 52 families living there. They enjoy a Community spirit and work on projects to benefit all. The Fun Day is to raise funds to promote development for the enjoyment of the children and adults alike. You might be interested to: know the accomplishments from last year's funds. Mr. Joel Aldred took a great interest and with his hired man and equipment they donated much time and effort in to the development of a baseball diamond, Soccer pitch and Horseshoe pitch. Also teeter totters and swing sets were set up. /This year they hope to improve the beach. This all provides family oversight for children during summer and social activity for parents. Last Wednesday was a very interesting day for the Island U.C.W.s, At noon everyone was disappointed not to be able to accept Mrs. Hilda Michell's invitation to -.. meet at her home as rain interfered. However the Island Hall was available. Here the "Head' ladies were very happy to sit back and be treated to a very attractive and sumptuous buffet luncheon served by the "Grace" ladies. Then came entertainment including the Barber Shop Quartette which is always a great treat, several good readings re small community life and a contest involving spring flowers. The "Head" ladies acted out a comic skit and presented their renowned ballet group. In the evening the '"Head" ladies were out again when they travelled to Oshawa to the homes of Mrs. Maudie Travell and Mrs. Reta Rodman. 18 members were present. The theme of the Devotion was the 'Circle of Love' and the study was led by Helen Redman, Pat Henshaw and Myrtle Gimblett. The roll call required each one to declare their favourite spring flower. The one most frequently named being lily of the valley. Of course the wild flowers were not forgotten either. Notes of appreciation were received from Elva Martyn, Ruth and Orval Heayn, Myrtle and Carl Gimblett, the choir and the family of, the late Cora Heayn. i Several catering projects were discussed such as:- squares for a private gather- ing June 14, a 75th birthday July 25, the Strawberry and Salad supper July 8, lunch for Dedication Sunday, June 14 and breakfast and refresh- ments at Latcham centre June 6. Myrtle Gimblett read an interesting item from the School Board and also conducted a contest. Many used stamps were turned in for the Leprosy Mission. Sunday could be con- sidered S.S. and young people's day at the Island Church. 3 Girl Guides and 3 leaders were present to carry in the colours. This occasion was honoured when Jackie Tripp received her certificate for her 2nd stage in the study of religion which had been taught in a class by Rev. Brawn. Then 28 pupils and 10 tedchers or leaders took their places in the front seats for the presentation of awards for attendance 'and work thro' the year. It was noted that many were absent for various reasons. Each teacher presented her own class with a suitable gifts. Then Jan Gerrow presented the Superinten- dent Mrs. Madeline Cawker with a gift of appreciation for her years of fruitful service and loyalty. She has done much to build up the Sunday Schoel and encourage the help of new teachers.. Work like this requires consider- | able sacrifice but is reward- "ing in the results. Several scholars assisted in the service when Darlene Adam led in the Responsive ur ot H | Reading and Lisa Brown read the Scripture. Four boys took up the collection:- Freeman, Ballingall and 2 Taylors. Attendance will likely drop off now but there will always be someone to look after . small children during church service. However, everyone will meet again for a picnic on Monday, June 27 at noon, in town, at the lake. Please bring a picnic lunch. Other refreshments will be supplied.

As a symbolic gesture in this International Year, we've done something out of the ordinary: we've produced a television commercial - just to set the record straight. Consider this. Of the 68 people involved in our production, 42 are mentally or physically disabled: among them, the director, the camera- man, the set designer and the carpenters, the electrician, the make-up artist, the sound engineer, the announcer, many of the musicians and the man who wrote the music, who was deaf-but is better remembered for being Beethoven. If you've seen the commercial, you've seen what happens when we work together. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a dramatic demonstration of a single simple point: disabled people should be thought of for what they can do, rather than what they ¢an't. Our slogan, created by a man with a disability, sums it up and says it all: "label us able" Margaret Birch Ontario William Davis Provincial Secretary for Premier Social Development International Year 1981 Vv. of Disabled Persons -stewards, | | |
