LS 2 Lo PIER Yl A "34 PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, ABHITT, 1900 Country cooking | bake sale held Scugog Island Area News ; by Mrs. Earl Reader On Wed, evening 16 ladies met at the home of Mrs. Bonnie Ger- . row for the U.C,W. meeting. The Devotional study was about tranquility and how to gain peace of mind and was presented by the group in charge. . There was a review of future events and plans for same. The first one requiring notice is the Annual "Country Cookin" and bake sale with the usual craft display, demonstrations and sales. People who are kind enough to display their crafts are re- quested to call a U.C.W. member so arrangements can be made for space, Demonstrations promise to be very interesting. Marylyn Wallace, an Island resident and traveller has an ex- tensive knowledge of handpainted silks and will have a display of her work. So if you missed it at the library, you will have another chance. Tony Krieg and perhaps Tom Manns, both of the Island will display and work on their wood carving. Mrs. Reta McAfee who lives on Conc. 10 near the home of Sheldon Smith raises angora goats with long silky hair which she spins and will demonstate. Mrs Clara Dowson, part of our mail carrier team and Mrs. Bet- ty Freeman, a long time bus driver, both exceptional craft ladies will demonstrate needle- point work on plastic canvas. Then Bonnie's Boutique will be well supplied with a variety of sale crafts donated by the U.C.W. members. The Community Hall will open at 12 noon while a hot Luncheon by the "Grace" U.C.W. is in pro- across the corner at the United Church. At 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Yvonne Christie will be present to official- ly open the occasion with "Coun- try Cookin' and bake sale which is always very popular. Plan to attend early to enjoy all the attractions including a Penny Draw and flea market as the full showing will be over at 3 p.m. The beautiful Log Cabin quilt made by the Women's Institute will be on display. The date for this double U.C.W. occasion will be Saturday April 22, The next date to consider is the Hospital Auxiliary at the Lat- cham Centre the next Saturday April 29, at 11 a.m. with a lun- cheon at 11:30 a.m. as well as bake table, and sale of crafts. All donations are welcome. U.C.W. members have been made aware of a new series of Bethel Bible studies. There are now 3 teachers in the Scugog Pastoral Charge who have been trained and are capable of con- ducting this course. Many people seem interested in taking this series, if the evenings do not overlap their already designated evenings. We hear so much about the gar- bage problem today and we begin to consider many situations. Some may ask, What did their parents and grandparents do with garbage? Our attention is drawn to careless litter. It has been noted lately that over 500 cans lit- ter both sides of the causeway from Port Perry to the Island cor- ner and this is not counting bot- tles, and other debris or counting what has been thrown into the lake. Who cleans this up? Who is responsible? This is a small area and we begin to multiply it by other highways and areas. This seems to be a small indication of responsibility by the public. During the Social period of the "Head" U.C.W. members were entertained by others who en- joyed winter vacations in the South. Some of these ladies being Mrs. Marian Carter, Mrs. Myrtle Gimblett, Mrs. Bonnie Gerrow, Mrs. June Haynes, Mrs. Frieda Cochrane. Of course they had been accompanied by husbands. Marion had gone with Edna and John Beckett. Respect For Life Durham council approved a May 7 13. a6 "spot for life" - 13 as "respect for life" week in Durham Region.
