Scripture reader was Lawrence Malcolm. Flute soloist, Cynthia Piercy played very beautifully, "My heart ever faithful" - J. S. Bach accompanied by Kate Mairs on piano. The children's story time included a birthday cake with candles representing the Birthday of the Church at Pentecost. This was the theme of Rev. Shearman 's sermon. A brief business meeting in- cluding a ballot vote re: the Camp Scugog proposal was held. The vote was in the affir- mative. Next Sunday, June 2 will be Nestleton Sunday School Anni- versary.

It is always an enjoya- Caesarea by Albert Putsey Just picture the scene as you drive down the hill on Putsey Drive. The apple, pear and flowering crab trees are all in blossom and the grass is green again along with the tulips, daffodils be- ing in flower. The stream sparkles and sings as the clear spring water flows to the lake. In the middle of all this se- renity there is the commer- cial hustle and bustle of the great Regatta Yard Sale. Yes, we had a great day Sat- urday and Sunday thanks to all you people who donated and the ones who came and supported our cause and we will also include the good weatherman. The 50/50 draw was won by Crystal Folkmann of Cae- sarea. Our thanks to 1.G.A. in Port Perry for their assis- tance. Our thanks to Steve Paradise and John Vanstri- en for donating their time on Thursday night and the yard sale committee for their aid which included a lot of fun. The Beavers had a great day Sunday at their Beaver- ee. Sack races, relay races, three-legged races and of course just plain running races. They also worked on some crafts and the ice cream and popsicles were delicious. From the account I have received about the dance Sat- urday night at the Caesarea Hall it was one of their best dances. Everyone mixed and joined in the fun. They had a different D. J. who had new tricks to get the gang danc- ing. Sorry, I was not able to Yard sale was great! attend but we had the yard sale in full swing. Good going gang. When you enter the hall, you'll see many new changes and improvements. Some time last year I wrote about our silent ser- vant who had left town, re- member. Well, I'm glad to say we have a brand new one in front of Trader Sams snack bar. It's the public tele- phone booth and it's up to you and I to see it's used properly. If we see young peo- pleinit and go by an hour lat- er and they are still there it's a sign they are using it as a hangout. We should report their names to the Bell and they will have a talk with them. This is one of the reasons the last one was removed. There may come a time when you and I might be des- perate to use that phone in the case of a strong wind and fire or if one of the main lines have shorted out. Use it with respect! Joke of the Week Gasping for breath and covered with sweat, a man came into a racetrack snack bar and ordered a soft drink. "What happened to you?" the waitress asked. 'I was in the paddock area." the gan panted. "I saw a $100 bill on the ground. I bent down to pick it up. While I was bent over somebody threw a saddle on me, and a Jockey jumped into the sad- dle. The next thing I knew I was on the track and the jock- ey was whipping my flanks." "No kidding!" said the sur- prised woman. "What did you do?" "I finished third." Saying of the week on hap- piness: The soul's joy lies in doing. Percy Shelley Don't forget the Pine Ridge Garden Club meeting Tues- day, June 4 - 8 p.m. - Nestle- ton Hall.
