St. Leo's atheletes excell St. Leo's School in Brooklin was well represented in the recent Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board annual cross country meet for the Oshawa area schools. There were 36 enthusiastic par- ticipants from grades three to eight ready to run their best for this event. St. Leo students showed their ex- cellent abilities in both speed and endurance. The school team placed The St. Leo's midget girls team ran exceptionally well in the recent cross country meet placing second out of all Oshawa area schools. The members of the team shown from left to right are Diane Tomas, Catharine Campbell, Pam Van Der Zwet, Andrea Heib and Erika Haase. a fine fourth overall and several in- dividuals deserve recognition. Kurt Dickoff placed first in the atom boys division. The atom girl's team of Erin Brady, Marcia Pope, Karen Kolenc and Beth Brady plac- ed second as did the midget girl's team of Catharine Campbell, Erika Haage, Andrea Heib, Diane Thomas and Pam Vanderzwet. Two weeks later, victory once again rang through the St. Leo ranks, this time during the Tri- School Soccer Tournament. St. Leo's regained the Tri-School championship they lost last year to St. Joseph School in Uxbridge. The tournament is an annual event held at St. Leo's School bet- ween St. Leo, St. Joseph & Im- maculate Conception Schools. There is a junior and intermediate divi- sion. The intermediate division was handily won by St. Leo's with scores of 8-0 and 4-0 in favour of the home squad. The junior team had a more dif- ficult battle on their hands. The win- ner was finally decided on a suspense-filled shoot-out after Im- maculate Conception of Port Perry tied St. Leo's in their games. But it was the home team again that triumphed winning the penalty shots. A fine display of athletic by the St. Leo's students, who should be con- gratulated for their efforts. Missionarys remembered by WMS Ashburn and Area News by Florence Ashton Last Wednesday evening was a very happy and memorable occg- sion for the members of the Women's Missionary Society, when they celebrated the 110th Anniver- sary of the Ashburn group, which was held in the Church Hall. Many members from the Lindsay Presbyterial were present, with the president Mrs. Mary Durward from Lindsay, as well as many friends and former members. It was especially nice to see Mrs. Flora Black from Milton, whose late hus- band Rev. Wm. Black was a former minister of this congregation. Muriel Fisher and Catherine Humphrey warmly welcomed the guests upon arrival, with Bernice Gardner and Ruby Bryant in charge of the guest book, name tags and programmes. About 84 ladies and gentlemen sat down to a scrumptious meal prepared and served by the Kirk Guild. The tables were tastefully decorated for the occasion. Presi- dent Mrs. Rose Heron cut the birth- day cake which was beautifully decorated by one of the local ladies. Following the dinner, everyone assembled in the sanctuary and en- joyed a rousing hymn sing led by Barbara Porter, with Rita David- chuk at the organ. Rose Heron con- ducted the meeting assisted by Lois Daw. We were privileged to have the men's choir sing two selections, as well as the guest soloist, Mrs. Alma Wilson from Mount Zion sing "He touched Me" and "How Great Thou Art." The historical sketch was presented by Nellie Hopkins. The scripture reading was read by Florence Ashton reading selected portions from Philippians, Chapter 4, with prayer by Jean McEntyre. Ray Death introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. Mary Durward whose topic was "Grace and Gratitude." With grace and gratitude, God keeps His promises. Rev. Stuart McEntyre performed an act of rededication and Honorarium when our group was renamed The Eleanor Knight Group of the Women's Missionary Society. Eleanor Knight trained as a mis- sionary and served as a deaconess in the Anglican Church of Canada. She had longed to go to India to join her sister in ministry there, but her health prevented that. After she married the late Walter Knight, she 'settled here and became one with this congregation and community. Serving as president of the Women's Missionary Society, she correspond- ed regularly with the overseas mis- sionaries and shared her cor- respondence keeping the local group closely informed about the mis- sionary work of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. One of the most important things Mrs. Knight did was to teach the group to pray for missionaries. Her influence con- tinues among us in So many ways. To those of us who were privileg- ed to know Fleanor Knight this in- deed is a very fine tribute to a very fine lady. May her memory live on. Chrissie McKinney graciously did the courtesies. To conclude the meeting, everyone joined in singing the an- niversary hymn. Benediction by Rev. Stuart McEntyre. As we look back upon a successful past, we have confidence and faith that God will continue to guide us in the future. We extend our sincere sympathy to Mrs. Evelyn Lynde and her fami- ly in the recent passing of Mr. Bill Lynde of Oshawa. I hope many of you were able to get out to the Craft Show and Sale last Saturday at the Thunderbird Golf Club. I managed to get there for a little while, and what a lovely display of fine quality crafts. We surely have some very talented people in the area. Do hope they had a rewarding day. The door prize was won by Maureen Harris of Brooklin, who is the recipient of a beautifully fram- ed picture of a summer blue jay, kindly donated by artist Marc Bar- rie from Brougham Gallery in Brougham. This is a signed, numbered, limited edition. Con- gratulations Maureen. The Ladies Bible Class will meet at the home of Muriel Fisher on Wednesday evening of this week. Two minutes of silence was observed at morning worship last Sunday, in remembrance of those who fought for this country, and did not return to their loved ones. Lindsay Death led in the respon- sive reading, with Theo. Knight reading the scripture lessons. The Senior Choir sang the anthem "Sweet Hour of Prayer." Rev. McEntyre is beginning a series of sermons titled "To-day's Idols." The first in the series last Sunday was "The Cult of the Nor- mal," choosing as his text St. Mat- thew 5, verses 46 and 48. Bill and Margaret Davis are the ushers for the month of November. Have a nice week. Letters (continued) From page 19 There seems so little to say when if only I knew what was to happen, I might want to say so much. These would be poor letters to have as last ones, but you must know with what a world of love they are written. You have given me courage and strength to go very happily and cheerful into the good fight. Love to all, and a bug hug for you, dear, brave Mother. Talbot Papineau November 5, 1917 Mrs. L.J.
