16 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, August 5, 1987 A hot weekend Beacock On a very hot weekend, July 11th and 12th, members of the Beacock Family celebrated their 60th Reu- nion at the Recreation Centre in the village of Blackstock. 'Abram and Harriet Beacock and their three sons arrived in Canada in 1831 and settled near Blackstock about six years later. At that time, the tiny village was known as Tooley's Corners. Then its name was changed to Williamsburg and later to Blackstock. Eventually Har- riet and Abram had seven children -- George, Isaac, John, William, Harriet and Sarah Anne.' Festivities began Saturday mor- ning at 11:00 a.m. By 12:30, at least 85 had assembled for another famous Beacock pot-luck luncheon. Shortly after lunch, the children en- joyed games organized by Jane Solterman. During the day, the children particularly enjoyed the lovely little motifs painted on their faces by artist -- Anne Dunbar. At 3:00 p.m., everyone gathered for a delightful fashion show featur- ing fashions from 1887-1987. Many beautiful costumes had been assembled by Mildred Wilson. Mildred, wearing a stunning long suit, which had belonged to her grandmother, capably described each outfit for us. Florence Beacock pat us in a nostalgic mood as she played such numbers as '"Memories,'"' 'Strolling in the Park," "Oh, You Beautiful Doll," and many more. The costumes were modelled by Olive Beacock, Grace Beacock, Debbie Avery, Jane Solterman, Ruth Ferguson, Bar- bara Ferguson, Diane Rekker, Marilyn Beacock, Nadine Beacock, Lisa Rekker, Marion James, Sandy Morton, Kathy Wilson, Brian Wilson, Don Beacock, Jayson Wilson and Stephanie Solterman. About 150 family members en- joyed a delicious roast beef dinner reunion catered by the Blackstock United Church. After dinner entertainment in- cluded a sing-song led by Maryllis Donglemans who accompanied herself on the accordian - The Touch of Class Singing Group, who delighted the audience with such numbers as- Stardust, Those Were The Days, Love Me Tender and many more selections. The Pine Ridge Cloggers then amazed us with their energy and expertise. On Sunday morning, many fami- ly members returned for a church service with Rev. Clarence Ferguson, a family member, taking the service. A vocal trio added greatly to the service. They were Nori Mills, Stephanie Montgomery and Maryllis Dougelmans. Tracy Montgomery accompanied the trio on the piano. One minute of silence was observ- ed for seven family members who passed away during the last year. Elwood Marcellus George Jordan Calvin Beacock Oliver Knapp Dorothy Knapp Alice Beacock Amanda Miller Among the prizes given during the weekend were a prize to the oldest lady -- Margaret Irwin and the oldest man -- Ernest Nicholson. Ed and Anne Dunbar received a prize as the newest married couple. The couple who were married the longest were Les and Grace Beacock who have been married 45 years. A prize for the couple who travelled the furthers went to Phil and Clara Spittler from Huntsville, Alabama. Many other prizes were awarded adding to the evening's enjoyment. Many interesting historical items and photographs helped family members reminisce. Patrick G. Deegan DENTURE THERAPY CLINIC NEW LOCATION: 174 Water St. -- Port Dory BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!

On the one hand, people of all nations pro- . claim not only their readiness but their longing for peace and har- mony, for an end to the harrowing apprehensions tormenting their daily lives. On the other, uncritical assent is given to the proposition that human beings are incorrigibly selfish and aggressive and thus in- capable of erecting a social system at once. progressive and peaceful, dynamic and harmonious, a system giving free play to individual creativity and initiative but based - on co-operation and reciprocity. As the need for peace becomes more urgent, this fundamental con- tradiction, which hinders its realization, demands a reassess- ment of the assumptions upon which the commonly held view of mankind's historical predicament 1s based. Dispassionately examin- ed, the evidence reveals that such conduct, far from expressing man's true self, represents a distortion of the human spirit. Satisfaction on this point will enable all people to set in motion constructive social forces which, because they are con- sistent with human nature, will en- courage harmony and co-operation instead of war and conflict. To choose such a course is not to deny humanity's past but to understand "it. The Baha'i Faith regards the current world confu- sion and calamitous condition In human affairs as a natural phase In an organic process leading ultimately and irresistibly to the unification of the human race in a single social order whose boun- dares are those of the planet. The human race, as a distinct, organic unit, has passed through evolu- tionary stages analogous to the stages of infancy and childhood in the lives of its individual members, and 1s now in the culminating period of its turbulent adolescence approaching its long-awaited com- ing of age For a free copy of the complete statement "TO THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD® or mformation about the Baha'i Faith and local activities, please write or call BAHA'IS of SCUGOG P.O.
