"A Family Tradition for 130 Years" R Sunday School Yard Sale was a Susan Genge Northminster United hie Oshawa, was guest speaker at church services in Greenbank at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday. Her message "An Open tiny was a take home message for everyone. The ministry in Music was by Hugh Baird who sang twe lovely solos "In The Garden," and "I'll Walk With God," and was capably accom- panied by Linda Hunter at the organ and piano. Next Sunday Rev. Shepherd returns from holidays and will be in the pulpit for services at 11:15 a.m. September starts . the month of our Centennial celebrations and we hope all former members will oh back to join in the festivities. The choir are hoping that more past members will join them by being part of the mass Just this week and then the children are back to school. I have noticed for the past two weeks mothers and the children around the youth counters of clothing Prt Also last week was a run on the barbershops. The C.N.E. is in the final Hk for this year. It's a sign that au- tumn is closing in on us. The Blackstock Fair was a great success but in some cases the volume of different vegeta- bles to be judged in the show was low. This was caused by our late spring. Maybe we are going to have one of those wonderful falls which will take us to Christmas. Remember this coming week- end is the Port Perry Fair start- ing Saturday and closing Mon- day. You can be sure of lots of excitement in the different events. This year parkingis free but children will be charged ad- mission unless they have an ex- hibit in the junior fair and then they will receive a pass for that day.

Greenbank Minor Ball would like to take this oppor- tunity to thank all the players, parents, coaches, umpires and sponsors who helped make this another fun year of ball in Greenbank. A special thank you to our sponsors his year who were Amsoil Synthetics I can't mention at this time. If all plans go well it will only be a matter of time when we have the best pioneer village in Southern Ontario. One i how we need is a small meeting hall with eight to 10 ft. ws Fa which is easy to heat so we can have more winter meetings and not be cold. Another thing which would help greatly is = nations of funds to propetriate the cause. Great going folks. Don't forget the Regatta meeting Sunday, Sept. 8 at 11 a.m. in Putsey Park to elect the executive for the next three years. Under our constitution we must change positions and this means new members have to come into the Regatta execu- tive. If not we're locked and there could be no Regatta next year. We have made splendid progress during the past three years so lets get behind the asso- ciation and make the next three years a period of continued suc- cess. In case of rain the meeting will be held at 20 Putsey Drive where we can hold 50 to 60 peo- ple with no trouble.

They had teams aged from nine to 50 and they came from Niagara Falls, Rochester, Utica U.S.A., Canadian teams from London, Georgetown, Pe- terborough, Oshawa, Bowman- ville gn so on. Seventy-five teams in all. They had six i 10 teams per court and 10 courts in action. The lad who won the slam dunk contest was Shawn Peterson from Bowmanville High. This is where a player jumps above the net and slams the ball down threugh the net hard. The general feeling is they can hardly wait until next year. Did you know why it is bad luck to go under a ladder. A lad- der leaning against a wall forms a triangle the symbol of the trin- ity and the mystic number three. It was once believed that to walk through the triangle would be to defy the trinity and risk divine wrath. Saying of the Week: Your bad health a be caused by not what you eat but by what is eat- ing you. Joke of the Week: A stage mother cornered the concertavio- linist in his dressing room and - insisted he listen to a tape. Her son was a talented musician she told him. What music! the vio- linist thought. A verv difficult piece, but played with such gen- 1us that it brought tears to his eves. He listened spellbound to the entire recording. "Madam," he whispered is that your son. "No," she replied. "That's Jas-- cha Heifetz. But my son sounds just like him." Marlene, Shannon and Cai of Robinglade Estates.
