Attendance at the Island Church began to rise again on Sun. and many children were back in Sunday school. A lovely new hanging was on view on the church wall containing 20 names of the cradleroll dept. At the top is a picture of Jesus surround- ed by his sheep. Hanging from this are pink and blue ribbons holding 20 lambs. Each has the name of a young child baptized and received by the church. The hanging was arranged by Mrs. Madeline Cawker and we hear there is more names to be added. Again Rev. Clarke gave the children something to consider when he requested a few written sentences for next Sunday about their ideas and views on "Love". We, adults, enjoy Rev. Clarke's study on the Book of Revelation written by John thro' the direction of Jesus. The seven candelsticks and . seven stars mentioned refer to the seven churches of Asia at that time. Rev. Clarke chose to take the first one of Ephesus. He had done much research and was able to give a very long list of reasons why Ephesus was so important at that time. He also gave us the reasons why this wonderful city today has only ruins. Come next week and hear the continued study of the Seven Churches. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Red- man are also returning from Florida today. They ran into nasty weather and were de- tained longer than, they expected. They were pleas- ed to meet with other Island people while on their travels. . The Boy Scouts of Scugog had a very exciting day on Saturday when Dean Ballin- gall, Grant Vizely, Wayne Hendricks, Jim Holtby and Stephen McClelland travell- ed with leader Milt Gill and assistant leader Robert Allen to "Woodland Trails" Boy Scout Camp at Aurora, where about 200 boys had gathered from the surrounding area. It was _their "Klondyke Day" 8 'when many troops were in competition. They competed in skiing type sports, husky hustle, designing a crest, a logger's lug, a trapper's run, fun with rolling large earth balls as well as a tin can survival and other names. The result was that our five boys, some times competed with troops df nine boys, and brought home many prizes, ribbons and a second place trophy. Out of 9 events they scored 2 first, 1 second, 1 third and 1 merit. - They missed the first place trophy by 2 points. We are proud of the boys, and also wish to express appreciation to the leaders and parents who made it all possible. Mrs. Irene Carter, Mrs. Camille Crozier and Mrs. Noreen Malcolm are all en- joying a vacation in Jam- aica.

Councillor DeHart wanted half the money set aside for a home for the aged, claim- ing there is a waiting list of 300 people in Durham for such a facility, and while his original motion specified "that the money should be used for "soft services", he made it very clear that the home for the aged should be the first priority. While members of council who spoke on the issue were in favour in principle of further services for the aged, they wanted more study into costs, and whether the need ,is changing in light of other programs which are current- ly being implemented to help people remain in their own homes for as long as possible. TWO HOMES Scugog councillor Reg Rose said during debate that his own preference would be for two smailer homes for the aged, rather than the large one, and he said that the number of:. people on the waiting "lists needs to be re-examined, and revised. . The general purpose fund is raised through lot levies with certain percentages being used for different pur- poses. About $500,000. is raised each year. This means that $250,000 would be ear-marked annually for a home for the aged, which could cost as much as $7 million. Council agreed to send the motion back:to the finance and social services com- mittees for further study and asked for a report with- in 60 days.
