'10 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, June 18, 1985 Sixtieth church birthday Women's Institute tours Greenbank News by Mrs. Armour McMillan At Greenbank United Church, the 60th anniver- sary of the Inaugurat' 'n of "The United Church of Canada,' took place. Rev. Rodgers used prayers and Scripture readings, taken from the June 10th, 1925 order of service. Five ladies explained the Denominational Gifts - the emblems on the United Church crest. A 60th anniversary dialogue was presented by members of the con- gregation - all dressed in costumes of the 1925's. This was amusing and serious but was well received by the con- gregation both at Pinedale and Greenbank. For Father's Day, three generations of Morley Raine's family read the scripture lessons and Mr. Rodgers sermon was "Fathers are Wonderful People." A presentation was made to Mr. Bill Bacon honouring his years of faithful service, making him an Honorary Elder. Two of the new basement windows were dedicated - these in memory of Mrs. Cora Bacon, Mr. Howard McMillan and Mrs. Alta Tomlinson. Rev. Rodgers will preach his farewell ser- vice on June 23rd. This is to be a joint service of all three churchs at 11 a.m. He will be truly missed but we wish him well in his future plans. Ladies - please provide lunch to be served after this service. The June meeting of Greenbank Women's In- stitute was held on DRAPES - Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Neil Hunter.

More booming in local building The 1985 construction boom in Scugog Township continued through the month of May with the value of building permits ex- ceeding the totals of last year by a significant margin.

More importantly, the value of permits issued by the Township in the first five months of this year stands at $5,354,000, compared with $3,958,000 for the same period last year. The five month figures show 51 new single fami- ly homes, compared with 40 at the same time in 1984, and there has been a large increase in the number of permits for agricultural buildings this year. These now total $464,000, compared with $163,000 last year.
