Cancer drive nets $39,000 Mabel Cawker May days will be over this coming Tuesday - then we usher in June - a beautiful month. Oh! Whatis so rare as adayin June! The first rose of summer al- ways reminds me of something once said by a wise old garden- er! "A lot of folk grumble be- cause God put thorns on roses, but I think it's better to thank Him for putting roses on thorns." Cancer Drive Nets Over $39,218 The annual drive for cancer, held during the month of April for funds re - the Township of Scugog has been a very success- ful one. When total proceeds were tabulated by chairperson Doris Taylor, the results were satisfying indeed with over $39,218. The Cancer Society wishes to thank all those who helped to make it the fine success it was. The captains, the canvassers, and the generous donors, are all to be commended for a tremen- dous effort put forth by each and every one. The men folk canvassed the town of Port Perry and we appreciate their hard work - a very large territo- ry to cover. We have received a warm response from the public, as in former years, and we are deeply grateful. A great task completed by the many folks in- volved. Cancer can be beaten if only we work hard enough! Our sincere thanks to our ter- rific campaign chairperson Dor- is Taylor - once again for her major share in this drive for funds - and her executive! Family Visitations Family members visiting at the farmstead during the week were: Alan & Eleanor Cawker of Oshawa, Grant Cawker and daughter Catherine also of Oshawa.

Bring along chair, plates, cutlery, etc. The Road That Counts It isn't the length of the road that counts, Or the number of days we live, It's the way we spend our allot- ed time, And the service to man we give, For alengthy road is useless, And so are countless days, Ifidly spent or on pleasure bent, Uncaring for others, always. So let us walk on the road that counts, That our living may not be in vain, Doing whatever good we can, for we - Shall not walk this way again, Seeking to help our fellowman - His trails of life to surmount, Guide us we pray, as we walk each day, On the only road that counts. Nestleton Presbyterian Church An average congregation as- sembled in the Nestleton Pres- byterian Church at 11 a.m. with Rev. Wm. Fairley in the pulpit.

Walk on the Wild Side by Amanda Bradburn Did you ever want to walk on the wild side? Well if you are be- tween the ages of 10 - 21 here's your chance. We held our first meeting at Blackstock United Church on May 26 at 7 p.m. Our leaders are Julie Byers and Gail Johns. We played a little word game about hiking and then got to know one another a little better by introducing ourselves and telling about our hiking and camping experiences. We then elected people for the executive. Our president is Lisa Nesbitt and our vice-president is Heather Malcolm. Our secre- tary is Alison Malcolm. We played another hiking game and then discussed what we would be doing at other meetings. We had to draw a map of how to get to our houses from the church. That was fun. We enjoyed cookies and lemo- nade. Our next meeting is June 9, 1994 at Mrs. John's house. We will hike and dodge mosqui- toes, so don't forget your bug re- pellant. If it's nice we might even go for a swim. See you there!
