Beavers hold a Winter Fun Day SCUGOG ISLAND NEWS BY MRS. EARL READER In February the Beavers had a Winter Fun Day when 8 boys travelled with 4 leaders and parents to meet with boys from 5 or 6 other areas in Cannington. The day was spent in skating and games with guitar music and songs. Then last Sunday the Island United Church was filled with Cubs, Beavers, Brownies and Guides with leaders & parents, for the Annual Church Service. (Still no Scouts on account of no leaders). Thanks to the ladies of the "Head" U.C.W. with friends who served at the Hospital Tuck Shop last week. Most reported an en- joyable time. We would ap- preciate about 2 more ladies who could fill in from time to time, about every 2nd month. Mrs. Hilda Michell is a lady who loves to travel & especially with her daughter, and then share her experiences with others who may not be able to visit these places. Their recent 8 day trip was to the Islands made famous lately by gossip in the Toronto papers. What else but the Cayman Islands! They consist of 3 smaller islands with the Grand Cayman Island 23 mi. by 7 mi. about 6 times larger than our own. They became famous in earlier days around 1700 by pirates who hid their booty in the caves. It takes a whole day to go around the Island and enjoy the 7 miles of sandy beaches. The people de- pend on the tourists as they have no industries. Their own monetary system rates their dollar about 25 cents higher than the American dollar. Among the pleasures and sights is a submarine ride below the sur- face to view the myriad number of brightly coloured fish & coral as well as runs of wrecked ships. There was a cave supposedly belonging to the early hero Bluebeard, who reportedly killed his wives in turn because of their curiosity re. a locked room in his castle. There is a cemetery where Bluebeard's men were supposed- ly buried. A museum displays ar- tifacts belonging to the pirates. A tortoise shell turtle farm raises turtles up to 1000 lbs. when they are then freed to the ocean. Perhaps one of the most in- teresting attractions is the Island's town of Hell where all tourists clamour to go. One bus driver said he was born in Hell and had lived in Hell all his life. Perhaps Hilda will show us a pic- ture of Hell, which she purchased. Hilda's son in Toronto is also very interested in under water sights through scuba diving, which he taught in Tobermory. We also hear the grand- daughter of Maurice & Eliza Fralick had a very interesting university trip to the Dominican Republic. Now we'd like to remind you of future events on the Island. First, we have the Annual Kidney Foun- dation Dance on March 17 at the Island Hall, sponsored by the Jef- frey family who have good reason to appreciate this Foundation. Last year all tickets were sold without advertising. The resulting funds are sent to the Toronto Western Hospital. For advance tickets please call Ivan Jeffrey 985-3969 or Bonnie Bell's daughter 985-2020. Next, we have the famous, an- nual, beef supper at the Island Hall, Wed. Mar. 28 for 5, 6 or 7 p.m. -- Please call 985-2644 or 985-8578. March Break is March 11 to 17. March 13 at 7 p.m. the Island United Church will conduct the Worship Service at the Nursing Ashburn by Florence Ashton Plan to join with us at Burns Church on Sunday evening, March 18 for a Gospel Music Con- cert, when we welcome the gospel group "One Accord' from Brant- ford. Time is 7:30 p.m. Come and enjoy a fine evening of gospel music. . We welcome to Burns next Sun- day morning, the Rev. John Robertson who will be with us for three Sundays, during Mr. McEn- tyre's absence. His sermon will be titled "Why I Believe." The Eleanor Knight Group of the Women's Missionary Society will meet on Wednesday of this week at 2 p.m. at the home of Lois Daw. Muriel Fisher is in charge of the study. Jim and Elaine Ewing from Orangeville visited with Elaine's parents Theo and Joan Knight over the weekend. Home. At the Sunday Service at the Island United Church the loyal choir took a rest when the, now famous, Golden Slippers took over with their several various in- struments. It was great to have Mrs. Carol Edgar at the piano again. - Another, appreciated addition was the very clean name tags to encourage recognition among the members of the congregation. It was also time for the 2nd edi- tion of "The Bridge' newsletter which contains just everything, sketches, appreciation, and detailed information. Rev. Lynne Belfry-Graham is doing a terrific job and we trust she gets full co- operation. We missed the John Davis family as they spent their first Sunday in their new home near Lake Huron. News Visiting with Bill and Bernice Gardner recently were Steve, Donna and Shawn Gardner, Frank and Gladys McKim, and Donna Bonnell and Larry Strank, all of Oshawa, and Ronny McKim and Ina Ferguson of Perth. Ron Ashton enjoyed a skiing holiday in Killington, Vermont recently. Thursday night is euchre night again at the Community Centre at 8 p.m. Everyone welcome! Many in 'our area are celebrating birthdays this month. Happy birthday everyone! The Kirk Guild is planning a congregational dinner on Friday, March 30 at 6:30 p.m., followed by fun entertainment. Cost will be $5 per person. Under 12 - no charge. Proceeds to the drapery fun. We hope many of our church family can join together with us. Have a good week!
