Meet The U.C.W. met on Wednes- day evening at the church with a good attendance and some vis- itors. An inspiring devotional was presented by Carol Merton. Kay Notman introduced Mar- Jorie Wilson, our guest speaker for the evening. Marjorie lives in Port Perry and is currently president of W.A.O. (Women Against Osteoporosis). Because Marjorie herselfsuffers from os- teoporosis, she has worked hard to inform others of this disease. A great deal of information was presented. Osteoporosis is more common than heart attacks, strokes, diabetes or breast can- cer and it affects one of every four women and one of every 10 men aged 50 or over. Naturally the time to prevent osteoporosis is when you are young by eating a good balanced diet, including at least three glasses of milk a day, exercising regularly and none or very little smoking and drinking. A round of applause greeted her and a thank you to Marjorie closed this part of the meeting. Lunch was enjoyed before we contin- ued with the business. The meeting closed with the Mizpah Benediction.

Rev. David Shearman presented an interesting message, first en- chanting the Sunday School children during the story peri- od, then giving the congrega- tion many good thoughts to take home, tying same in neatly with Scripture passages from I John 5:9-13 and John 17:6-19 read by Karen Yellowlees. Offering gathered by Yvonne Priebe and Karen Yellowlees. Service closed with singing the Lord's Prayer, hymn O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing, Benediction and singing Go Now In Peace, with Carol Mairs our able pianist. A Pleasant Mother's Day On Mother's Day, Calvin and Yvonne Holland and family - Chad, Craig and Alanna and mother Neta Fish of Edgerton Road, visited different friends in the Lindsay area - Clair and Madeline Curtain, Yvonne's parents, saw the old homestead at Oakwood where Neta was raised, and dined in a favorite restaurant and later called on daughter Marlene Bannister, who has purchased a new home near Peterborough. Quite an ex- citing, interesting day. Lovely Things "If you lack for aught to do, pause awhile and enjoy the view - there's distant hills you haven't seen; and lovely mead- ows fresh and green; there's music sweet you haven't heard, from singing winds and wood- land birds; there's perfume on each passing breeze, from clo- ver bloom and orchard trees; there's miles to go and friends to make, and new joy to bring to hearts that ache; all this and more you'll find is true; life's full of lovely things to do." (Un- known) Nestleton Presbyterian Church An average congregation at- tended the morning service of Nestleton Presbyterian Church, with Rev. Wm. Fairley in the pulpit. Joyce Taylor was the organist, and Peggy Jones taught the Sunday School class. Ushers were Graham Ham and Barney McCabe. Spring flowers brightened the Communion Ta- Pleasant Mother's Day ble. Psalm 47 was read respon- sively and Scripture readings were from Job 1 and St. Luke 24. In the sermon, Rev. Fairley spoke of it being the Sunday fol- lowing Ascension Day (Thurs- day).
