Mrs. Stuart Dorrell attended the UCW 25th special event in Waterloo Thankful for break from the hot sunshine Scugog Island Area News by Mrs. Earl Reader | During our rainy days of Spring when we begged for sun, I'm sure we didn't mean such a large dose. Therefore we were all thankful for the break on the weekend to gain some vitality in preparation for future tasks and programs. Accordingly Pat Taylor and Bon- nie Gerrow should stay by their phones this week to accept reserva- tions for the chicken barbecue on ~ Saturday night at the Island United Church.

Recently it was noticed that our local museum didn't have a Provin- cial flag. Therefore the Liberal can- didate, Diane Hamre for Durham East presented the museum with one on July 19 from the Provincial Premier David Peterson. I'm sure this is a very welcome recognition of our museum. Summer Bible School will start at the Scugog United Church Aug. 17 to Aug. 21 from 9a.m. to 11:30 a.m. It will include a craft program. All children are welcome from pre- kindergarden and up. Older children may be very helpful too.

Grant McLaughlin lost his last years championship and trophy to Gary Mountjoy with Brad Jolly a close se- cond. A black squirrel came, who either thought he was on the clean- up crew or there was to be a hard winter ahead.

Some of these farms are now owned by Mrs. Heintzman, Bill Ferguson, Ralph Larmer, Douglas Mackie, Ivan Cochrane and others. A yard tour showed where the early frame house was, in the or- chard and across the creek to the east, the site where the saw mill owned by Sam"s son, S.T. Ferguson had been until 1912. We then had an invitational guided tour of the old stone house now owned by Mrs. Heintzman - now called the "Land- fall Farm Vacation Home' and "The Front Room Antique Shop." This home was built by Sam"s son old. Special feature of this home was a special stairway to a schoolroom with an adjoining room for the governess who taught the children of the homestead.
