Although George is a patient in Commu- nity Memorial Hospital, the family had a get together on Monday, Oct. 24 The Women's Institute met last Wednesday afternoon at the home of Iva Phoenix. Roll Call "Name a family custom that has been kept through the generations" was answered by several interesting answers. One family made it a tradition that at Christmas cake baking time, each member took their turn in stirring the batter. Eu- nice Rahm, convenor of Educa- tion and Cultural Activities, read an interesting article on farming and the use of plastic wrap, how it can be recycled and the many uses of the recycled products. Reflexologist John Hill of Prince Albert spoke and ex- plained the way reflexology works on the body. He was'gen- erous with his time and gave two shortened treatments on two of our members while de- scribing what he was doing and what the results will be. After a very interesting meeting, a so- cial time was enjoyed. The Greenbank Youth Group would like to thank all of those who supported usin making our Fall Breakfast a success. We would like to thank Steve Quan- tral, Dot Hooker and Suzanne Lee for their help and tolerance. Thought for the week: Life is like a sandwich. The more you add to it, the better it becomes. Society meeting well attended A good number of members of the Blackstock Agricultural So- ciety attended the annual meet- ing of District 4 of the O.A.A.S. wk in Lindsay on Thursday. Our President, Leah Frew, con- ducted an interesting panel on "What Does Your Fair Do Best?". Blackstock Fair date was set for Aug. 26, 1995. Several local residents were near the Bank of Montreal rob- bery on Thursday evening. What a shock that an event like that could take place in our vi- cinity. Fortunately, no deaths occurred. Sympathy is extended to Tal- ya and Denzil Moore and Todd and to her mother Mrs. Dorothy McHarg in the passing last week of Talya's father Jim McHarg of Port Perry. Several local friends attended the funer- al on Saturday at the Robert J. Reid and Sons Funeral Home in Kingston. There will be a me- morial service for Jim McHarg in Blackstock United Church on Sunday afternoon Oct. 30 at 2:30 p.m. Congratulations to Mark Simmons who was awarded a $10,000 scholarship from the federal Ministry of Industry and Technology.

Here in our vil- lage at least one family has felt the sad effects of this episode. We all knowdJohn and Lori Ellis and it was John's brother who was one of the officers that was gunned down. Officers like these chaps are the ones who came forth last June and helped put on a great baseball game with our fire- fighters to raise funds for our park. It isindeed very sad to see our society ebb to such alow lev- el. When I was a child in greater Toronto if we had four murders a year it was something. Today, it's three or four a week. What are we going to do to put an end to this slaughter? We sincerely hope all parties injured make it through. I had a call this week from Mrs. McLean who informed me that Ed and Helen Sobezak have donated 24 pumpkins to the Beaver/Scouts group to cut up this Tuesday night so they will be ready for Halloween. At present, they do not have a child in the group. We all know what an asset Helen and Ed have been to our community and now we see a sale sign on their house. I can only say thanks and I hope you're not going to move away. We had our first Bingo of this fall at Caesarea Hall and I was sorry that Joe and Dini were not able to assist us. Consequently, Albert and his group did their best and I must admit I made a couple of mistakes. I believe everyone had a very good time with 43 in attendance, which 1 know must be increased to keep it rolling. Pro bingo players commented on the low noise lev- el and there didn't appear to be as much smoke. So be sure to join us Saturday, Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m. I was sorry to hear they rushed Ray Pollard off to the hospital Friday night with chest pains. Ray is one of the vil- lage's famous horseshoe partici- pants and he is the man that supplies us with all those tapes and disc recordings at Golf and Regatta time. Last report was Albert Putsey they expected him home Mon- day or Tuesday. Hope itis truly afalse alarm. Spoke to Councillor Dave Dietlein on Friday and he has just completed phase one of his new treatment. They call it har- vesting and they took 20 per cent of his bone marrow to be re- turned to him after the radia- tion treatment. He sounded tired and weak and stated he felt that way. Let's all send him a card to 26 Broadbent Ave., Scarborough, Ontario, MI1K 4R2. Our best wishes and prayers are with you, Dave. I, as a bystander, attended the baseball meeting this past week at Blackstock. I thought the meeting was very democrat- ic with alot of people wanting to know more about what is going on. I felt a good P.R. man on the executive board could accom- plish this through the four newspapers which reach out in various areas of our township. With hardball coming into fa- vor, we must all realize there are going to have to be adjust- ments due to the larger fields required for hardball. The Pine Ridge Garden Club was very busy Saturday at the Latcham Centre. They were participating on behalf of the auxiliary of Community Memo- rial Hospital in their Christmas in October Drive. The garden club raised $121 in their sec- tion. Remember Nov. 1 meeting is a workshop at 1:30 p.m. at Nes- tleton Hall, making Christmas decorations. No meeting in the evening this month. Beef supper planned The weekly euchre on Thurs- day evening had 12 tables. The winners were Sarah Brunton, Rita Prokopchuk, Leona Van Sckyndel, Carl Gimblett, Ber- nice Loudfoot, Milton Ander- son. Lucky draws: Carl Gim- blett, Grant Bright, Leona Van Sckyndel. A sympathy card was signed by everyone for Mer Sto- rie extending everyone's sym- pathy in the death of his wife Rita. On Sunday, Bill and Tracy Goddard had their daughter Alysha Michelle baptized at Port Perry United Church on Sunday. She is the granddaugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Dow- son. Have you bought your tickets for the Hot Beef Supper at the Prince Albert Church for Sun- day evening, Oct. 30? If not and you would like to attend, give Linda a call at 9856-3143 now. Mr. and Mrs. F. Gibson of Co- boconk called on the Beacocks and the Lehmanhs one day last week. Don't Miss Meeting the Candidates Wed.
