-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, July 18th, 1973 Nestleton, Caesarea and area news The annual bus trip of the Nestleton Women's Institute was, by all reports, a delightful one. 16 members and 23 of our local people, boarded the bus promptly at eight and commenced the trip to Toronto. A tour of the city hall was a point of interest on the days agenda. A pleasantly informative guide conduc- ted the tour. A picnic lunch was enjoyed by all in the shaded areas on the pre- mises provided for relaxa- tion. An afternoon movie was attended at the Hollywood Odeon theater. It was de- cided that due to the lateness of the hour, the visit to the Allen Gardens would be substituted by a visit to the Edward Gar- dens, as they are on the home route. The ladies enjoyed dinner at a res- taurant in Highland Creek and arrived home at approximately 8:30 p.m. Although a little weary, each had a feeling of satis- faction, for once again the W.I. annual bus trip was successful. The July meeting of the W.1. of Nestleton, was held in the G. Donneral's garden. Members of the Blackstock and Bowmanville Institutes were guests. Following the opening Ode and the Mary presi- Stewart collect, the uty 19- 22; OSHAWA dent Mrs. B. DeJong bid the ladies welcome and thanked their hostess, Mrs. Donneral for her hospital- ity. After the business of the meeting was over, Mrs. Donneral gave an interest- ing and informative resume of the trip to the Fiji Is- lands, Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia recently enjoyed by Mr. Donneral and herself. When the plea- sant report of the Don- neral's trip was over, many of the ladies felt as though they had been along. Mrs. Donneral has a way of describing scenes witnessed by her, that so absorbs a persons interest (Children's Day) leges (8 Heats) Belgian.

Our wishes for good health, success and happi- ness in their new home are conveyed to Bill and Faye Collins of Port Perry.

The Centennial celebra- tion of the Werry family is to b e held int he Blackstock Recreation Center on July the 21st and 22nd. The first of the Werry family re- unions was held in Tyrone, one hundred years ago. Approximately five hundred members of this family are expected to attend this year. This reunion is defin- Message from itly one that depicts history. At this time I have not had the opportunity to gather much information on this rather larger family tree, but have been informed that a book has been printed in its entirety, concerning the extensiveness of the Werry family. I was in conversa- tion with Mrs. Alma Peri- goe of Caesarea, who was, prior to her marriage, a Williams. What a delight- fully pleasant person she is. It is quite probably that all of you know more about the Werry family than I your correspondent could ever hope to. I sincerely hope that the weather is just perfect for the reunion. Monday, July the 16th, the Cartwright Scouts, accom- panied by Troop Scouter Jim Sloane and asistants Ivan Bradburn and Oliver Rohrer on a camping trip to Balsam Lake. Three mem- bers of the Ventures, Paul Kristensen, Dennis Malcolm and Rayner Welts, shall join the group in the evening. Mr. Gordon Cooledge drove the boys to the lake. Mr. Neil Wilkinson is transport- ing all the equipment, It is gratifying to know that these above mentioned men care enough to take the time and effort to help in our youth programme. We trust that the weather holds for the entire week and that the Scouts have a pleasant trip. Recently a man that was a friend to all Scouters, Cubs etc, in our community, moved to Bowmanville. The gap that Bill Francis has left, shall be difficult to fill. He never tired of working with the young people. A sincere wish for the best in life is extended to him, and happiness in his new home. His leaving most certainly presents a problem. If any- one of you men are looking for a little something to fill your idle hours . . . no pay, mind you, long hours also, but so very very rewarding . . please contact Gord Cooledge at 986 - 4991. Our youth need leaders and Playground Director On Wednesday morning a friendly orange coloured cat and her three kittens joined us at Playground. The children enjoyed playing with the animals and talking to their owner, Mrs. Andrea Jones of Prince Albert and later we drew pictures of cats and kittens. We also enjoyed our walk to Birdseye Centre and our short swim on Wednesday afternoon. Thursday featured games and songs and our "Annual Pet Show'. There were a great variety of sizes, shapes and colours of ed animals in our show. "Prizes were won by John Moore (age 4) who had the looking stuffed animal and Billy Jordan (age 4) who had the prettiest pet, a lovely green elephant. The prize for the biggest animal went to Norma Irvine who brought an enormous blue dog. The prize for the smallest ani- mal went to Carolyn Cox who displayed a tiny blue dog. All of the pets were interesting and the pet show was a success. A special thanks is extended to the judges, Mrs. Lois Smith and Mrs. Thelma Beare of Port Perry. On Friday morning we set off on a short nature-walk, we observed trees, flowers and shrubs and brought funniest back leaves, twigs and flowers etc., which we placed in frames and made scenic pictures.
