(Intended for last week) Congratulations to the Pineview bowlers of Port Hope who were in Ottawa last Wednesday, April 24th, to share in the Ontario tournament. tournament. There were 8 men's teams taking part and the local men came in second. That was a good effort for two of the men who are in their eighties, and one of them has had to bowl with his left arm, since his right arm never recovered fully after after a bad break. The men were Allan Holdaway, Percy Phillips and Arnold Thorn- dyke. They were accompanied accompanied on tne trip by Hope Holdaway and Kay Thorn- dyke and others interested. Harold and Gwen Best arrived home on Monday, April 22nd after a holiday down south. They were fortunate fortunate in having fine weather weather most of the time but met some wet weather on the way home. On Monday morning, April 22, members of the book committee of the East Durham Historical Society met in Port Hope to continue continue selecting pictures for a volume to be produced in time for the bi-centennial. On the same afternoon the May committee of group two of Welcome U.C.W. met at the home of Berniece Best, Port Hope, to plan the meeting meeting for May 8th. Frank and Ruth Melva- nen of Port Hope called here last week to show the "Rebellion "Rebellion box" which was shown at the April meeting of East Durham Historical Society which I was unable to attend. It is one of several preserved in the province. There is one at Sharon Temple, Temple, some in Mackenzie House in Toronto. This one was made by Ruth's great S ifather who was con- with 24 others in jail in Toronto after the rebellion. rebellion. The very fine carving shows floral decoration ana a verse, carved in tiny letters. letters. The work was done, using using wood provided for firewood. firewood. It must have taken hours of patient work, a labour labour that helped the men retain retain their sanity while waiting waiting a decision about their fate. On Monday, April 22nd, rural subscribers of the Port Hope Guide -received their first copy of the paper by courier. It is a welcome change to receive it the day it is printed. It was always disappointing to receive Friday's Friday's paper on Monday and learn of an event of interest which happened on Saturday Saturday or Sunaay. On Saturday morning, April 26th, a committal service service was held at Wesleyville cemetery, conducted by Rev. W. Sedgwick of Welcome, for Mr. Kusti Karvonen of Scarborough. Scarborough. The funeral service was held in Scarborough the evening before. Members of the family were served lunch at E. Barrowclough's before returning to the city. Mr. Karvonen suffered a stroke' some weeks ago. He came from Finland many years ago and has been a good citizen of this country He is survived by his sister- in-law, Lempi Karvonen and members of her family. One of the springtime happenings which is looked forward to, with pleasure, is the northward flight of the Canada geese. Small flocks have been on the way for some time but last week huge flocks were streaming by, and flying very high. Most spring birds are welcomed but tne huge numbers numbers of grackles, starlings and cow birds, seem to tone the welcome a little. Eveiy year several birds lose their lives when they try to fly through a window, many of the small ones seem to survive survive the crash but the force of a large bird's collision is usually fatal. A flicker struck a window that seemed to offer a throughway throughway last Friday and was killed instantly, it is a beautiful beautiful bird seen at a distance and close up its bright colours colours and speckled breast show so clearly. It makes a bright house to have so many windows but those opposite opposite each other are a trap for birds. Sometimes strips of paper fastened at the top are a warning but they defeat defeat the purpose of the window window for humans. Helen Dinner was in Peterborough Peterborough hospital last week to find reason for discomfort discomfort and Orald Ford had surgery on her hand in Port hospital and we hope both of these friends will soon be completely well. Some of the choir members members of Welcome United church developed sore throats so the special number number planned could not be provided but the remainder of the choir provided good leadership as usual for the congregational singing. Rev. Sedgwick's sermon was based on "Evangelist on a lonely road" ana used the story of Phillip and the Bunich. Bunich. It was well illustrated with accounts of individuals who had felt personal calls from God to make themselves themselves available for a specific need. It was a good lesson to make one feel the value of each person, the one in need and tne one fulfilling it. The story for the children used questions to make them feel now far the man in the story had to come to learn about God. The chrysanthemum flowers of the previous Sunday Sunday were still lovely, and as well two fresh bouquets of daffodils and forsythia were cheery to see. The offering, regular, and for Quin-Mo- Lac, was received by Glen Buttery and Carroll Nichols. Barbara Irwin greeted the congregation at the door. Members of the junior choir remained for practice after church. Next Sunday's anniversary anniversary service will be in charge of Rev. W. Sedgwick at 10:15 a.m. Yelverton A number of interested folk from Manvers Twsp. attended attended the Appreciation Night given in honour of the retirement of former M.P.P. and Cabinet Minister John Eakins in the Lindsay Armories Armories on Friday evening.
