| | | "A Family Tradition for 126 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 3, 1992 - 23 eo eS St ttt tft ft LLL On Saturday evening, fine weather ¢cncouraged great num- bers of little and not so little goblins out trick-or-treating. On the whole congratulations must be extended to the young people for their excellent behav- ior. Recently the O.N.O. mem- bers and their spouses enjoyed a Chinese food supper and later went to Joan and Harvey Gra- ham's home for a social time. Sympathy is extended to Ma- rie and Cecil Gibson on the passing of Marie's brother El- wood Tripp who had been a resi- dent of Port Perry Nursing Home for some time. Elwood was the eldest of 11 children many of whom live in Port Perry and other surrounding areas. Many nieces and nephews live in this community. Andrew and Jacqueline Knei- wasser have recently returned home from an enjoyable holiday to Italy where they visited many art galleries and other points of interest... A most enjoyable family sup- per was held Monday at Nancy Fire guts A ~ and Bob Bryans' home 0) Celebrating birthdays were Patti on the 11th, Christina turned five on the 27th and Rick's on the 30th.

When we think of this date with its origin and the results that have taken place through the years... In earlier years peo- ple used the opportunity to play innocent or spiteful tricks on neighbors and blame it on the ghosts. Prior to trick-or-treat days on the Island, older people will remember a party night in the tea room of the Head Memo- rial Church when many adults had community fun dressing up, enjoying an evening of con- tests, games and lunch. Now, we remember many of these same people have passed away. Since the beaches and other areas have become more heavi- ly populated, the children look forward to dressing up and vis- iting their neighbors for show off and collection of treats. In these days of social problems it is gratifying to see the children remembering their manners and the adults who take joy in welcoming the children. But we still have groups of women who have fun while dressing up to call on appreciative neighbors. Now, this seems to be a turn- ing point for weather and driv- ing changes as well as commu- nity events. First, we are reminded of the joint U.C.W. meeting at the Island United Church for the two U.C.W.s on Wednesday evening when all women are invited to enjoy an- other Tupperware demonstra- tion at 8:30 p.m. after their indi- vidual regular meeting. Interested singers, please re- member choir practice at the Is- land United Church in Thurs- day at 7 p.m. Shortly after closing on Hallo- ween evening, we are sorry to report the restaurant beside the home of Allan and Evelyn Red- man and across from the mu- seum was gutted by fire. I've a young friend David, who isn't long married. He's still learning it's hard to get the better of a woman! Yesterday, he told me he and his wife had some how got on to the subject of relatives. It was quite a good-humored argu- ment, I'm pleased to report, and at one point he'd challenged her with a grin to admit she thought more of her own rela- tives than she did of his. "That's not always true, Da- vid," she had responded quick- ly. "I've always admitted that you've got a better mother-in- law than I have." "Do you know Frances," he smiled, "for a moment I thought I had actually won!"
