gs Rab Sd 30 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, January 11,1994 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice 1 News of interest to our rural neighbours in Scugog Township LLL Craft t night resumes in Caesarea Mabel Cawker A raw cold January is moving on - one third of the way through. Everyone is complain- ing about the weather! With the extreme weather - let us not for- get our friends - the birds! When you relax, secure and snug and warm - the little birds are battered by the winter storms - so let us be sure to feed the birds throughout the bitter cold. In summer, they will re- pay us a thousand thousand- fold! New Year Gifts To your enemy - forgiveness. To an opponent - tolerance. To a customer - service. To a friend - love. To all men - charity. To every child - a good example. To yourself - respect! Success There are many definitions for success. With some people, the accepted view of success might be: 1. What does your husband do? 2. What clubs do you belong to? 3. Where are you going for a winter vacation? (material things) One view 1 like: Success means the com- plete development of one's per- sonality. Living fully according to one's standards - not materi- ally - rich in experience, giving your best and feeling satisfied by the results! To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affec- tion of children, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a re- deemed social condition, to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that I feel is Suc- cess! Nestleton United Church On a cold Sunday, a fair at- tendance with Arthur and Bar- bara Weir greeting at the door. Rev. David Shearman conduct- ed the service and spoke on "Baptism of Jesus" with the scripture read by Art Weir from Acts 19 and Mark 1. Carol Mairs was the pianist. The Mairs family - the foursome Robert, Steven, Katie and Carol - sang an interesting number with Carol at the piano. Much appreciated by all! Offering taken by Arnold Williams and Arthur Weir. Service closed with "Go Now in Peace", Bene- diction and Threefold Amen! Family News Alan and Eleanor Cawker of Oshawa were luncheon guests with his mom Mabel Cawker at the farmstead on Sunday.

Saying of the week: A man is not finished when he's defeat- ed, he is finished when he quits. Richard Nixon Last week's riddle: Remember the ship, the tide, the porthole, the water. I hope the word algebra did send you off to sharpen your pencil. The ship is a floating object conse- quently as the water rises so would the ship, so the distance between water and porthole would remain constant at six feet. The kids thought they had me on that one. . This week's question: Who spent the most time in office as prime minister of Canada, since Confederation? In the village, there are many blind spots for motorists, hedg- es, fences, hills, so remember you people on snowmobiles, slow down in the village, you're a small low object, with little braking power and a weak horn, if any, and with car heat- ers blasting away, along with the radio, you cannot be heard. Being low with a high bank of snow, you are hard to see. Re- member no one wins in an acci- dent. Slow down! UCW, WI to meet this month Jeffrey The Uxbridge Young Bruins hockey team won their game 1- 0 over the Newcastle team. I'm sure the Epsom boys helped a lot. Shirley Baster enjoyed Sun- day supper with her mother and aunt Lilain Uxbridge. The Ross Munro's had a thrilling Christmas holiday as they flew to Corpus Christi, Texas to spend 10 days with their daughter Leanne who is a nurse working in a hospital there. Remember the Women's In- stitute meeting at the home of Veronica Oskee at 7:45 Jan. 26. The topic 1s Canadian indus- tries. The motto: reaching high keeps a man on his toes. The roll call: a new industry that you know about which is suc- cessful. The UCW will meet Jan. 11 at the home of Mrs. Jim Jones of Uxbridge for noon dessert. Ross and Barbara Evans called on David Simmonds one evening recently. Barbara and Ross also visited the Wiersma family in Blythe for New Year's Day. A new bird was seen in the area recently. It looked similar to a robin but the breast was orange colored and it had differ- ent markings. It was identified as a varied thrush, native to British Columbia. How did he ever land in this area? The infant son of Ed and Don- na Eckhardt was christened on Sunday at Utica Church. His name is Nicholas. Victoria Ashton had a birth- day party recently for parents and grandparents, so this week she had a real birthday party with her young friends, includ- ing a wagon ride to Grandpa Asling's "bush". Catlin Murison had a memor- able birthday party when moth- er, Roxanne, took the children to a movie then to McDonald's for supper. Mother didn't enjoy it much as it was a terrible day and the roads were treacherous. Howard Gourlie has returned to his home in Saskatchewan after spending Christmas with his family here. I hope our friends who are in Florida are enjoying the warmth. The Uxbridge Seniors meet- ing on Jan. 18 will be a pot luck noon meal at the Senior's. Cen- tre. Gary and Jane Johnson and sister Liz Johnson took their parents George and Helen out to dinner on Saturday Jan. 8 for their 30th wedding anniver- sary. After the dinner, George and Helen were surprised with a party given by the Rae Munro family. One of my favorite poems: "Woman was made from the rib of man, She was not created from his head to top him, Nor from his feet to be stepped upon, She was made from his side to be equal to him, From beneath his arm to be pro- tected by him, Near his heart to be loved by him." Please make this a "Be Kind to Jean Week" and phone me your news next Sunday eve- ning.
