8a- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 21,1994 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" R > PORT PERRY STAR <4 URAL Roorts Tributes made to fathers on Mabel | (of:\""] [(=1¢ This past Sunday was Fa- ther's Day and trust fathers everywhere were treated royal- ly on their big day! A'Tribute to Fathers Father is the whole family's hero - He can stand any weather well below zero; He has the pa- tience of Job, And he's happiest when wearing slippers and robe. You can tell that they're different from mammas; By the size of their hats, shoes and py- Jamas! They are tougher, strict- er and stronger; And the reach of their arms is much longer. Though they can't ever find their socks or their specs; Fa- thers are really a marvellous sex! Happy-go-lucky and so thoughtful of others; The very best thing to be married to mothers. Sympathy Extended We deeply sympathize with Campbell MacMaster of Port Perry and family in the passing of his beloved wife, Helen Mac- Master - wife, mother and grandmother. A fine person! She was a highly principled lady - much loved and respected by all who knew her. She will be greatly missed. Family Concerns It was delightful to have son Grant of Oshawa to help with the gardening - and it's now all finished, growing well and flow- ers in profusion here and there. An expert re the gardening en- terprise. Delighted also to have Alan and Eleanor Cawker one eve- ning during the week. After an hour on the patio, we enjoyed cold refreshments before they headed for home. Thinking of all those confined in hospital or ill at home. Our very best wishes to one and all. Awfully glad to hear Rev. Charles Clarke of Prince Albert 18 feeling much better. All the best to him for a fine summer. Our Beautiful Birds A number of colorful birds of various kinds are enjoying the bird feeder in the garden these days. We have it placed at the same level as the kitchen win- dow so that we can watch the birds easily. What would we do without our feathered friends - they brighten up the premises immensely. Nestleton United Church With a smaller attendance than usual - the fourth Sunday after Pentecost - with Arnold and Jean Williams the greeters at the door. Rev. David Shear- man conducted the service and opened with the Call to Wor- ship. Scripture was based on | Samuel 17: 2 Corinthians 6: and Mark 4: read by Jean Williams. The minister's fine message was about "Changes re Hospi- tals". Children's theme about Father's Day. Many favorite hymns were sung with Karen Yellowlees at the organ. Shirley Jackson and Regenia Walker rendered a duet "Cover Me" which was nicely done, with Karen accompanying. Offering taken by Arnold and Jean Williams. Service closed with singing "The lord's Prayer" and hymn "Jesus Sav- ior Pilot Me", Benediction and Go Now In Peace with Three Fold Amen. The Art of Staying Young at Heart As long as we keep dreaming of the things we've yet to do - and all the special joys we've yet to know, As long as we keep try- ing to see how full and rich each day can be, and how much we can learn and reach and grow, As long as we keep looking for new pathways to pursue, new goals to set, new ventures we can start, As long as we keep seeking out the beauty life is all about...Then we can keep forev- er young at heart. (Amanda Bradley) Nestleton Presbyterian Church On a warm summer morning, Rev. Fairley conducted the reg- ular service at 11 a.m. in Nestle- ton Presbyterian Church.
