Jack and Helen Green have just returned from a holiday in Venezuela, South America. Fred and Jewell Stanley along with Doug and Sharon Stapleton, former residents of Blackstock and now of Port Perry enjoyed a week's vacation in Jamaica. Gord and Debbie Bryans spent a week in Acapulco, Mexico. Leanne spent the week with her grandparents, Bev and Shirley Black, Oshawa. What great holidays! So pleased to report that Bob Holliday returned home last week from his stay in Toronto Hospitals. Also, glad that Mrs. Connie Swain is showing fine recovery, but still must undergo exiensive testing. Mrs. Susan Swain, Kirk and Karen were involved in a nasty car accident in the fog on Thursday morning. For- tunately no one was seriously in- * jured, but both Susan and Kirk have many sore spots, Ross Duff underwent surgery in Oshawa Hospital and is progressing well. He expects to be soon home again. We hope you all show steady improvement. Last Sunday at the regular mor- ning service of Blackstock United Church, the Sacrament of Infant Baptism was conducted by Rev. D.

Ralph Larmer presented his son John's trophy for the Outstan- ding Junior Farmer of the Year to Lawrence Van Camp. Incoming president Craig Larmer gave his remarks.

On Tuesday, February 18th, at the Country people do t Rec Centre, the Blackstock Ven- turers again challenged the Pathfinders to a game -- this time . of Ringette. The girls started out with a lead, but then were defeated 18-16 by the boys. After the energetic game, they all enjoyed pop and chips supplied by the -Venturers. Thanks goes to Shawn Hoskin who provided music for the game. Now the challenge is equal. W' at will be next?

An excellent programme on *'Bat- tered Women" was presented by Verna Windrem and Anita Davis. Verna began by reading Ephesians 5: 21-29. With the use of a film strip, and a question sheet much valuable and thought provoking information was brought out. Among other things, it was learned that one out of every ten women is a battered woman, that these women come . from every age, income level and culture and that they suffer in silence because they do not know where to find help. The meeting closed with prayer and discussion continued over lunch. ' Blackstock W.I. met on February .12th at the Township Hall beginning with a delicious dessert and chat time. The meeting opened with the singing of the Institute Ode, and repeating the Mary Stewart Collect. Edith McLaughlin welcomed everyone.

She told how crowded the nearest city was before Christmas and how on Christmas Day, the family enjoyed an outing to the cinema. Secretary Pat Sleep read a letter from Charlotte Johnson, President of F.W.1.0., telling that there will be a dollar increase in fees for 1986-7. The Roll Call: Name a com- puterized item used in the home. Some answers were: microwave 'oven, talking car, VCR, calculator etc. Edith spoke on the Home and Country after which Jean Adams told what happens to the Pennies for Friendship -- Wells for water being one project. Note: Don't fight tgmputers. Go with Them was answered by Muriel Hoskin. Dora Martyn reading from Home and Country on Promoting W.I. said 'Don't be afraid to use some Hot Air. She then demonstrated the use of her microwave oven. Dora cooked some muffins and upside-down cake and gave many points on their use. She was s0 persuasive that those members who don't have one will probably be looking to purchase one. Meeting closed with O Canada. Egypt has been buzzing lately. " Beside the infant population doubl- ing with the Churchill arrival join- ing Leanne Bryans on the road, there have been two 'fellas' joining the 50 year club. Three weeks ago, co-workers and friends surpirsed Rolly Coy at Conway Place with a gorilla, bearing balloons. This Sun- day about forty surprised Bob Bryans on his birthday at the Bryans home. |
