2 -- PORT PERRY STAR = THURSDAY, FEB. 16, 1967 SEAGRAVE NEWS We had two items come in late for last week's news. Here they are. : On. the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 31st, Mr. Allan Crosier at- tended a reception given by the governor of the proposed Dur- ham Ont. College of Applied Arts and Technology. The pur. pose of this gathering, held at the Oshawa Curling Club was to meet the new principal Mr. J. Willey, B.A, Phd. On the sick list we have Mrs. John Kupers who is in Uxbridge hospital. She will be there for a time and would be glad fo hear from her friends. Coming to this week's budget, we note that Unit 1, U.C.W. staged a clean-up at the church on Wed. and of course improv- ed things quite a lot. The same unit was in charge of the Feb. meeting that same night. Before the meeting be- gan, Valentine hearts were matched to mix up the mem- bers who persist in sitting in exactly the same spot year af- ter year. Tt was a good idea even if many of the ladies felt like displaced persons. 'The devotional period, led by Mrs. Tobin consisted of hymns, prayer by Mrs. Abraham, Scrip- ture read by Mrs. Chas. Short and an address on the history and function of the church, by Rev. E. McNeil. Mrs. J. Hal lett sang a pleasing solo and Mrs. Nicholls read the monthly Formosan letter which .inform- ed us that we were now suport- ing a different girl student. From the reports we gather- ed that 1967 activities are just getting under way. The ladies were told what would be ex- pected of them at our own spring tea and a committee(Mrs. Barr and- Mrs. Cliff Short) was appointed -to look after the "Tiny Tots" booth at the spring fair to be held by Pert Perry hospital auxiliary. Has anyone a good pep pill to recommend? Our U.C.W. is suffering from a severe case of apathy which could be serious if not checked. In spite of the efforts of our president the la- dies seemed quite indifferent to several good suggestions. We livened up a bit when Mrs. K. Short conducted a Valentine contest and lunch appeared. Fifteen of our ladies and one small boy helped make up the 40 who attended the World's Day of Prayer service in Green: bank Church on Friday after: noon. Mrs. G. Wanamaker, Mrs. Barr and Mrs. D.
