Beef Supper at Head Church on May 6 RR I BR RB EER, Ee eee hn te ea Scu og Island News eee eee eee ee see eee eee eee Eee Eee ee eee Se ee eee ene se eee ee ee ee tee Tee ee ee) We are sorry to report a for- mer Island resident on Con. 6E., Lavern Martyn passed away on Saturday, four years after a stroke that required fu- ture living in the Port Perry Nursing Home. Lavern will be remembered as a very fine neighbor and school pupil. Our sympathy is extended to his wife Dorothy, brother Harold and sister Inez. For Easter morning the Is- land United Church reverted to CCPS wrestlers The Junior boys wrestling team from Cartwright Public School also put in a fine showing at the Durham Championships, finishing the event with 50 per cent of the medals awarded. a former custom started by Rev. Teskey. This year about 25 peo- ple gathered on the Ashbridge Road for a Sunrise Service. They experienced dampness with a late sunrise and were happy to return to the church for breakfast followed by an un- usual Easter service that had been well planned by all groups. Colored balloons announcing "Christ is Risen" flanked the aisle. Wonderful Easter music by the orchestra welcomed the parishioners as they wended their way toward Easter lilies and various flowers including a wooden cross wrapped in East- er lilies. The processional hymn guid- ed a large choir to their place where they looked so fresh in their new white collars made by Heidi Krieg. After the children enjoyed their Easter story at the front, they were directed to hand out cross designed book marks to the adults. Then the children continued their part in the form of an Easter hunt where they found various directions which finally led them to an Easter basket containing little book- lets for all and ending up with one of the balloons too. While chatting after church, we learned that repairs to the chimney have been completed. Arrangements have been com- pleted to start the roofing. Two layers of shingles had been on for 46 years, causing needed re- pairs and new shingles, which of course require plans for pay- ment by future methods. New members along with for- mer members seem very enthu- siastic for all suggestions, guid- ed by suggestions of the minister Elaine Barber who now has a well equipped office in the church to assist her plans. Now the Spring Fair is over, the next consideration seems to be a Beef Supper by the head U.C.W. in the Island Hall with sittings at 5:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. for May 6. Tickets may be purchased from Bonnie Ger- row. Our prayers are with Ethel Freeman and her family, follow- ing her complicated surgery on Sunday. Other ailing people of the Island are Ken Hansen, Al- len Martyn and Brenda and Jack Bailey. The Beef Supper of May 6, will not interfere with the spe- cial Grace U.C.W. on the same date. More to be described later. By now all our birds must be settled back as well as their ani- mals so it might be fitting to de- scribe how they fit into our vo- cabulary as follows: A gaggle of geese with goslings A skein of geesein a vee, A brace of pheasants for beauty, A clutch of eggs in the nest: A brood of chicks with the moth- er A muster of peacocks astrut A charm of finches sun-yellow An exaltation of larks. A murmuration of starlings, A grey-flecked covey of quail, A cygnet upon the blue waters, And swan with arched neck a- sail. A screech owl and owlet half drowsing With fledgling thrushes nearby. A clowder of cats pussy footing, With a kindle of kittens slant- eyed. A pack of hounds for the hunt- ing, A skulk of foxes for prey. A rout of wolves in the offing, A shrewdness of apes at play. A sloth of bears seeking sweet- ness, A trumpeting elephant band; A shoal of fish on the creek bed, A swarm of bees as they land. A flock of sheep with their lamb- kins, A herd of cattle with calves, A drove of young colts agallop, Or litter of pigs bring a laugh ... Such vocabulary belongs to the Springtime, ith abevy of charm to the last.
