Scugog Island Area News by Mrs. Earl Reader Sad to say, the rains & moisture we've craved for so long put a dampener on the usual annual at- tendance at the Harvest Home - Service in the "Head Memorial" Museum Church. But those who did attend had a longer time to spend with friends and the guest speaker. Some people hoped to see the gorgeous colours of other years in the landscape but we notice something is happening there. We are all looking forward to Thanksgiving for next weekend with whatever it holds in store for us. Of 'course we can always de- pend on special church services. The following weekend will be the Anniversary Service for the Scugog Island United Church with Guest Speaker Rev. Bill Tadeja from Oshawa General Hospital. The "Head" U.C.W. will be held this Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Beryl Pearce. The Scugog Social Planning Council met last Monday, at noon, at the Port Perry United Church.

Scugog Social Planning Council Begins 14th Term The customary last Monday of the month was the date of September 26 for the first fall meeting for a delicious luncheon at the convenient Port Perry United Church prior to the business period. Shortly before the date about 40 phone calls are made to represen- tatives of any organization in Scugog Township or individuals who are interested in the social welfare, health & recreational needs of the community and pro- motion of its well being. These people are reminded of the date, proposed program and consulted re. the attendance for the lunch. At the September meeting a number of lunch commitments were not honoured, thus leaving a surplus of food provided. In the future, it is hoped cancellations will try to give notice to the phon- ing person. As the last worthwhile project had been the Food and Clothing bank for the area, Mrs. Elizabeth Mrs. Gailya Maguire GODERICH, Ontario " My husband and | were pretty flustered when we arrived at the Standard Trust branch just at closing time." remembers Gailya Maguire. "The girls at Standard arranged free travellers cheques for us, got us American money and looked after every detail with a friendly smile. So we were able to leave for Florida in the morning without a hitch.

It is sold at a moderate price to those on assistance in order to pay for the store expenses. There is a greater need for non perishable food perhaps from churches, organizations or individuals. Note the Thanksgiving drive to be left at the Fire Hall. Through the summer a very reliable committee had met twice and worked out a proposed series of 3 public meetings for March & April entitled "The Health Func- tioning Family" to be held in the Town Community Hall. As a representative of this com- mittee, Mrs. Maureen Salkeld (Counselling Service) presented printed copies of the general plan and requested further suggestions re. suitable speakers & treatment of subjects. Consequently, further results and plans will follow at the next Food bank needs supplies At Thanksgiving, most of us - think of feasts of turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie. However, many residents of our community find Thanksgiving to be very different. These people may receive social assistance, unemployment, a pen- sion, or may try to support a fami- ly on near minimum wages. After paying 50 percent to 80 percent of their income on rent, they do not have enough money left to buy food for the month. They rely on emergency food from the Opera- tion Scugog Food Bank. Now, the Operation Scugog Food Bank is asking for help to continue to meet the demand for emergency food. The Thanksgiv- ing Food Drive runs from October 6 to 10, with brown bags for dona- tions distributed with the Toron- to Star on October 5. Donations of canned meat, fish, fruit, stew and pork and beans, as well as peanut butter, powdered milk, macaroni and cheese dinners, rice, baby formula and hot cereals, can be left at the firehall in Port Perry. The Operation Scugog Food Bank will collect, sort and store donations, and later supply food to individuals and families in need. Five employees or more?
