It seems that we love to follow the lives of people who have lived on the Island a long time or used to live on the Island. Recently we saw a picture of Jim Dowson and his wife Janet with their son, as they are pres- ently enjoying their 26th wed- ding anniversary. We join with Jim's parents Clara and Joe Dowson with our congratula- tions as they entertained with a limo trip around Oshawa and restaurant in Whitby for a spe- cial dinner and evening. Many of you will remember Frances Baker who taught on the Island years ago. She and her husband Jim Powell of Markham recently visited with the Dowsons, as she had board- ed at their home years ago. They now have three children and Frances occasionally teach- es on nature trips. Through the years we have enjoyed our association with the Marion and late Clarence Carter family and think of them as they change living arrange- ments. Daughter, Janis decided to move to Oshawa with her family. Marion has already moved to an apartment near the library, which she has enjoyed for two months. Son Gary and his family are looking forward to dwelling in the new home on former Carter property. It was my recent pleasure to spend an afternoon with Beth and Allen Martyn who still spend very busy lives in travel and with their varied hobbies and crafts. Their permanent home by the lake gives them much pleasure in the enjoy- ment of nature as a subject for many of Allen's poems along with their families. In Allen's youth he worked hard at different kinds of work which he interspersed with car- pentry, a gift he shared with church, family and organiza- tions. He even found time to put a family history into book form, interesting to other people as the name Martyn or Martin is very familiar inthis area. Since Allen's feet do not re- fo NIGHT OF JANUARY 16" spond very well now to locomo- tion, but his eyes and other senses are keen, he can still busy himself with painting, crafts, poetry, carpentry and lo- cal interest. Beth, a helpful companion shows great interest 'and thoughtfulness in all the endeavors, but both regret the passing of time. A good number attended the joint meeting of the two U.C.W.s at the church along with the Tupperware demon- stration which displayed many new items. The "Head" U.C.W. enter- tained at the nursing home for all the November birthdays. Al- though three members are now living in Port Perry, they still cling to: their original "Head" U.C.W. A really stout girl once told her fellow workers she was go- ing on a diet. The next day she came to work with a very large cake covered with a thick frost- ing, which she attempted to ex- plain to her co-workers. As she passed the bakery she saw the large cake and was tempted. But she said if God wanted her to have it, He would provide a parking space in front of the bakery. So after driving around 21 times, there was a free parking space. How many stout people have a will power like that? Once an Indian stole an ea: gle's egg and put itin the nest of a prairie chicken where it be- came hatched and lived its life as a prairie chicken eating bugs and worms. While admiring the life and flight of an eagle, it was told it was just a prairie chicken and must live accordingly. So natu- rally it never aspired to any- thing higher. So this is the mod- el of many people. The da | people extend sympathy to Bob Cawker and family in the loss of a dear brother Sam. We also extend sympathy to a valued reporter for Nestleton and Caesarea, Mabel Cawker, in the loss of her husband, Sam.
