IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOU CAN HELP Do you know anybody who can't read a hymn book in church?

There are such people, close to 2 million in Canada. Some of them live in the Durham Region. The Literacy Council of Durham Region is doing something about it. They have trained 39 tutors in the last two years, and these tutors have been teach- ing illiterates to read. Because of the need'for more tutors, the Council wil be holding a tutor training workshop October 1, 2 and 3,1982, at Fairview Lodge in Whitby. Would you like to be a tutor?

These services will now be at 10 a.m. I'm sure ail parisioners will want to join_ Reverend and Mirs. Elliott in the Christian Educa- tion Building of the church on Saturday, July 3 from 2 to 5 p.m. and wish theni well on the occasion of, their 25th anniversary. Our best wishes to you Boyce and Shirley. A CHEAP TRIP If you would like to take the family out for a.day trip and want to keep the price down may 1 suggest the Pickering Museumi. It is a small complex of l9th century buildings dating froni 1830 to 1900. These buildings, and ail their furnishings, are real, they were transported from various locations in this area and reconstructed on the site. Many scenes from daily life in those early days are demonstrated by local craftsrnen and summer students. The steaih and gas barn displays various types of' machinery froin the turn 0f the century Up to 1930. I was par- ticularly impressed w'ith the blacksmith's shop. The museuin occupies a beautiful wooded site on the east branch of Duffins Creek in the village of Greenwood. There are excellent picnic facilities on the site, running along the-banks of the-creek. There are lunches available at the museu on a pre- ordered basis which range from $1.75 to $3.75, but you are certainly better off (financially) to bring your own. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday froni 10 a.m. to 5 p.m: The charge is $1.50 for adults, $1 for students and 50 cents for children, but there is a family rate 0f just $4. Pre-schoolers and seniors are free. Just' one word of caution. The pathway leading from the entrance to the actual site, although beau- tiful, is quite steep and I feel the elderly and infir- med might have quite a job getting back up the hilI. If you want any information please caîl Joan Alfrey at 683-2760, ext. 24. The museumn is located on Highway 7, at the big bend at Greenwood, just opposite from Swiss Chalet park. It is a delightful place, make sure you pay a visit.
