Charles Clarke of Prince Albert for improved health - keep your spirits up Charles - we're all thinking of you. A very pleasant surprise visit from Mayor Don Hadden and wife Helen of Sunderland at the M. Cawker home on Sunday, Sept. 18. It was delightful to see them again. Arthur and Barbara Weir of Nestleton went to Michigan, USA for a few days holidaying and weather was great. Not too much color in the trees as yet. A most enjoyable time for them - a change of pace. Russell and Edda Bowman of St. Christopher Beach and yours truly were luncheon guests with Alan and Eleanor Cawker of Oshawa on Tuesday this past week. A most enjoya- ble day! Neta Fish of Edgerton Road and yours truly, Scugog Point Road, had several days of inter- est visiting in Lindsay - a nice meal at the Cadmus Country Club and so forth recently - a busy summer. Marge and Vern Rowe of Mil- dura, Australia, are spending a few weeks with Jack and Karel Nottingham at Fralick's Beach, Scugog Island, and with Roy and Doris Nottingham of Cae- sarea. They have had many in- teresting activities while the Rowes were in Ontario and all most enjoyable. Visiting with M. Cawker at the farm during the week were Margaret Cornish and Grace Hastings of Port Perry. A pleas- ant visit during the afternoon catching up on family news - fol- lowed by the tea hour before they returned home. It was great to see them. Trust they will take a jaunt down again soon. Very sorry to miss Margaret (Steel) Addison of Australia, and Mervyn and Ellen Bird of Brooklin when they called on me this week when I was away. Will drop a line to Margaret Ad- dison promptly.

They have books of interest for the most choosy person in Scugog Township, and they need our support. So, how about it, folks!! Nestleton United Church On a fine Sunday morning, Sept. 25, the greeters at the door were Art and Barb Weir. Rev. David Shearman brought the service to order and opened with the call to worship. He enchanted the small fry with an interesting story re prayer, and presented a great message to the congregation using "A Prayer is the Ward of Power" with Art Weir the Scripture reader. Shirley Jackson and Regenia Walker sang a harmonious duet with Carol Mairs at the piano. Offering was gathered by Ar- nold Williams and Arthur Weir. After the fine old hymn "O Je- sus I Have Promised", service closed with Benediction, Go Now' In Peace and Three Fold Amen. Sympathy Saddened to learn of the pass- ing of Gordon Jeffrey of Port Perry - a fine neighbor of Sam and Mabel Cawker so many years ago. A great gentleman to know and his family will miss him very much, as well as many friends. I have warm memories of Gordon.
