Jan Gerrow welcomed everyone as they arrived. Madeline Cawker opened the Order of Worship. Lisa Brown led in the Responsive Psalm. Thirteen enthusiast- ic members of the Jr. Choir led by Ethel Freeman pres- ented two lovely numbers. Faye Sanderson had chosen a very fine children's story. Jackie Freeman gave a fitt- ing recitation of 'Praise'. The offering was taken by Mrs. Wilma Johnson, Mrs. Carol Wilson, Bill Samells and Paul McDowell. In spite of many distractions thro' the week Jan. Gerrow had prepared an interesting and meaningful address, - "The purpose of the S.S. and Churches in the life of every girl and boy," in which she related experiences in her own life within the church. She listed the many things a child may gain thro' their association with Sunday School and then the Church. I'm sure it recalled many memories for the many young parents who were there and they will wish to give their children the same opportunities or even better. However, more fathers are needed to encourage attend- ance of the sons. Sue Pelyk offered a very appropriate prayer ing clos- ing with a petition toff guid ance and leadership. The loose collection went toward the Sunday School as the price of supplies increas- es like everything else. We trust all Island people will feel welcome in the Island Church if it is the choice of their denomination for Worship. At the annual 'Harvest Home" service at the mus- eum church the attendance was even better than could have been hoped for as ap- proximately 180 people from the surrounding area attend- ed. They came for many reasons which could be listed as, a renewal of former days, a love of music as only Norm Watson and his group can produce it, the joy of the harvest season as presented in autumn flowers to produce the Worship conducted by several ministers, the stirr- ing address of a former minister Rev. Mark Reeves who is retired near Barrie yet serves at Stroud, or maybe a combination of all these fulfilling satisfactions followed by a social hour while enjoying pie, crackers, and cheese, moistened with lots of tea and coffee. Anyway the sponsors were very appreciative of the response. What satisfaction it would bring to the pioneers if they could see their early efforts being carried on and kept up within the place they started in 1860! Some people even long for a special Christmas Service along this line. In the midst of our happi- ness and rejoicing we have Special Menu SUNDAY & MONDAY THANKSGIVING MENU NO RESERVATIONS TAKEN again been saddened in the Head Community , Conces- sion 6 by the sudden bereave- ment of Mr. Max Stichmann who had made many acquaintances through his excellent work as a builder. The sympathy of the Island is extended to his wife Eliza- beth and his family who take a great interest in commun- ity life. Many people will not be able to pay their respects as the funeral is being held in Toronto among relatives and former friends. Congratulations to George and Ethel Freeman who will be enjoying their 25th wedd- ing anniversary on Tuesday October 2. On Saturday evening they had a surprise in store for them, as their daughter Shelley and son Michael had planned a dinn- er party at Shelley's home in Oshawa where approximate- ly 30 relatives and friends gathered to help the happy couple celebrate and enjoy a social time together. Cubs will start their meet- ings this Thursday evening but it will be chiefly a registration and a chance for parents to get acquainted' with other parents, boys, and leaders who will work to- gether during the year. About 6 hopeful scouts are waiting for someone to offer their services as a leader. Don't forget, Bill Bobbie is the one you phone, if you will consider this challenge. The Community Dance on Saturday night was well at- tended as usual. As Dr. Martin and his wife Susan had frequently attend- ed former dances, they were naturally missed. As a gesture of community's sympathy and concern it was decided to give the proceeds from the ticket sales and from an extra jar used for donations to Susan Martin to be used in her possible time of need. Mrs. Aileen Kane is spend- ing a few days in hospital where she will have a much needed rest in order to beat a stubborn cold. The Head U.C.W. will meet on Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Irene Cart- er. At the same time, the Grace U.C.W. will meet at the home of Mrs. Maurice Fralick. Visitors are always welcome at both. The Head U.C.W. wish to express appreciation to the many non members who so generously donated food for the Turkey Supper. Nostalgic theme for Horticulture meeting by Grace Coe 'Shine on Harvest Moon' was the nostalgic theme of the Brooklin Horticultural Society meeting September 26 when Ed Endersby of West Hill, president-elect of the Ontario Horticultural Society spoke on the old fashioned favourite plant, the Geranium. Guest speaker Endersby surprised many of his listen- ers by saying that, as well as " the common potting varie- ties familiar to most of us there are almost 200 more types, each with its own distinctive characteristics and singular appearance. Members and visitors from Bowmanville and Oshawa as well as Whitby, Brooklin and surrounding areas showed great interest SHE SRN i Sp San rs ANS Pwd SERIE HV SARA So Sey " / 2 % KING TUT Sterling Silver Gold Plated CHARMS Several Styles to Choose From Get in on the trend that's taking the Country by storm!

Others were spicy. These, he said, could be used in cooking to add a gourmet touch to a variety of dishes. Ed donated several of his plants as door prizes. In the draw, conducted by Carolyn Stevens, one of three new members attending their first meeting heard his number drawn. Aldine Wick expressed the appreciation of all present in thanking the speaker on behalf of the Society for a most interesting and enligh- tening program. Viola Gillion, District 5 Director from Mt. Albert acted as judge and Audrey "Young, B.H.S. Show Secre- tary, announced the winning entries. Dorothy Barter won top honours, a gift certificate donated by Simpson-Sears of Oshawa, for the best decora- tive of the show, a stately dried floral design called "Indian Summer." It was artfully created using dusty beige tones with accents of vermillon and deep brown. Mrs. J. Arthur Barnes of Bowmanville was presented with a silver tray. ~ Although won in August at the Brook- lin Horticultural Society sponsored flower show at the Whitby County Town Carn- ival, it was not presented at that time, but sent to be suitably engraved. Mrs. Barnes won the award for the best specimen flower in the show. Following the meeting, Verna Sheppard and Ialleen Crawford presided at the refreshment table, bringing the evening to a most enjoy- able and appropriate con- clusion. Ly : 4
