Although it is normal for this unique breed to have multiple births, quadruplets are not as com- mon. Linda Darby, owner of Sundance Meadows holds the babies as the mother looks on. Mrs. Darby said she will keep one of the babies, while the other three will be sold. The dosile breed Is an expensive one as the animals are used in dairies as they give lots of milk and come into sea- son every month and because of its typical multiple births. Great Yuk Yuk night at hall JAY] oJ-T4 Putsey This past week has been ex- ceptional for events in our sur- rounding area. The firefighters had a great Yuk Yuk night at Nestleton Hall on the second of April. The Pine Ridge Garden Club "had their meeting Tuesday night and had five new mem- bers join the association. The guest speakers they have had since the winter break have been exceptional, starting with Don Proutt on geraniums and this meeting was by Douglas Lycett on "Day Lilies." He told how a hobby had taken over his property including even around the swimming pool. He showed numerous slides and went deep- ly into the chromosomes. If he'd gone as far as the X and Y gene I would have called him doctor by the end of the evening. We are all thankful for such excellent lectures. They are all keyed up with their International Smorgas- bord for April 30. They are ask- ing everyone who might have a foreign flag to please loan it to them so they can decorate the hall for this great event. For tickets call 986-4771 or 986- 5330. The hall board had their monthly meeting Thursday night and the topics were the furnace, chairs, tables and a guest from Scouting whom was looking for a sponsor for a group of venturers. The hall board is anxious to receive your reply to their ques- tionaire re entertainment. All groups and associations must have their events for May into Ruth 986-0493 by this Thursday, April 15 to have it appear in the May calendar dis- tributed by mail to residents of the Caesarea area. The hall board is calling tend- ers on the cleaning of the hall by May 31. Call Mrs. Ellis for ten- der forms. Thanks to Joe and Dini plus the Regatta workers we had an- other great bingo Saturday night. Everyone enjoyed them- selves and this week there was only one winner in the jack pot of $200. Our next bingo will be Thurs-+ day night May b at 7:30 p.m. at Caesarea Hall. These bingos should continue every second Thursday from May 5 on. We. thank the hall board for their co-operation on this matter. I had an unpleasant task Sat- urday night of four young lads under 18 wanting to play bingo. To me they were quiet, they were in a good environment of adults, no liquor, no great noise or commotion but bingo can be classed as gambling. Gambling can be an addiction and conse- quently be habit forming like al- cohol, drugs, etc. I had no choice but to refuse them entry. I'm sorry boys but the law is the law. Saying of the week: Be ready when opportunity comes - luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet. Ray D. Chapin Jr. Humor of the week: What is the difference between a good marriage and a good meal? The dessert comes last with a good meal. Lilies decorate communion table Comment: Although spring was officially here on March 20, old man winter won't give up. The first day of spring is one thing and the first spring day is another, wrote Henry Van Dyke in 1899. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. It seems that things haven't changed much since Van Dyke's time and the best way to wish spring into exis- tence is to act like it has already arrived and plan accordingly! To Our Sick And Shut-ins Countless as flowers in a love- ly garden are the wishes we send you today. From all the members who are thinking about you...and hope recovery is well on the way! Nestleton United Church On Easter Sunday, April 3, Glenn and Arlene Malcolm wel- comed a goodly number of wor- shippers to this special service. Rev. David Shearman opened with the call to worship...a joy- ous season of the year, and hymn "Jesus Christ is Risen To- day," sung with great feeling of joy. Many beautiful Easter Lil- ies enhanced the sanctu- ary...adding much to the ser- vice. The Sunday School sang "The Lord is my Shepherd," with Joanna Malcolm leading and Katie Mairs at the piano. A round of applause greeted the children at the close. The choir sang a novel medley "Great And Wonderful" with Carol Mairs accompanying on the piano. Be- lieve me the choir earned ap- plause as well! They deserve credit. Rev. David Shearman brought a happy, stirring East. er message with Erin Malcolm the reader. The Sacrament of Holy Com- munion - The Great Thanksgiv- ing - was celebrated with Rich- ard MacKenzie, Arthur Weir, Arnold Williams and Robert Mairs assisting the minister. This fine service closed with Benediction, Go Now In Peace, and three fold Amen. Easter Celebration Alan and Eleanor Cawker of Oshawa, hosted 18 members of their family to a delicious East- er dinner with all the trim- mings. Present for this wonder- ful celebration - for a short while - was daughter Christie and husband Andrew Birnie and their five day old baby daughter - a beautiful little girl - Chelsea Bond. What a delight to see her for a short time - she is a husky little child. Cancer Drive In Progress The Cancer Drive is in progress throughout the Town- ship of Scugog. When the can- vasser calls give as generously as you can. A Salute To Volunteers There is a good deal to be gained from volunteer work for the interested person. Above all - is the personal satisfaction gained through contributing something for a worthy cause. There is also much to be learned through volunteer work - it is educational and a broadening of interests and establishing life- time activities and the making of friends. The benefits to the in- dividual her community and the people in it are immeasura- ble! Every one of us could find some time to devote to canvass- ing for the Cancer campaign if we chose to do so. The benefits would surprise even the most sceptical. Birthday Celebrated In Style A delightful celebration was hosted by wife Chris for her hus- band Cliff Davis on his 75th birthday, Saturday, April 9, in their beautiful home at Hyde House, Scugog Point Road. Many relatives and friends were present to wish Cliff the best. The delicious food in abun- dance was a culinary delight and enjoyed by all present. Wife Chris has had a busy time pre- paring these succulent dishes cooked to perfection. Many cards and gifts were received by Cliff, and when the gorgeous birthday cake was brought in happy birthday was sung joy- ously by all. Our best to a great friend Cliff Davis and may he enjoy many years of good health as he breezes along in his inter- esting life. The Path To Happiness Learn to like what doesn't cost much. Learn to like trees, fields, woods, fishing, hiking. Learn to like reading, music, conversation. Learn to like the song of birds, companionship of dogs, and laughter of children. Learn to like work and the satis- faction of doing your job well. Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day. Learn to like plain food, plain service and plain cooking. Learn to like people, even though they may as different from you as night from day. Learn to like life for its own sake. Learn to like to be alive. Learn to keep your wants simple. Refuse to be owned and achored by opinions of others. That is the way to happiness! Taken from Kirk of St. Andrews, Penticition, B.C. Nestleton United Church With Karen Waters and daughter welcoming at the door on Sunday, 2nd of Easter, a very good attendance with Rev. Da- vid Shearman in the pulpit. Karen was the scripture reader from John. Rev. Shearman's message re- "Sin And Forgive- ness" was meaningful! A very interesting choir number was sung by Shirley Jackson, Rege- nia Walker and Katie Mairs en- titled "The Redeemed Medley." These girls deserve a pat on the back - surely we have others who can sing! Richard and Janice MacKen- zie gathered the offering. Ser- vice closed with a hymn, Bened- ication - Go Now In Peace - and Three Fold Amen. Karen Yel- lowlees played for the service. A Cute Story A child was asked by the min- ister if he said his prayers be- fore he went to bed. Yes sir! an- swered the child. And do you say them in the morning too? asked the minister. Oh, no sir! said the child. I ain't scared in the daytime!
