ee --_-- TT ee 'Our Night Out' Club Provides Social Life For Blackstock - The "Our Night Out" Club of Blackstock was formed nine years ago by the young married women of this community, who felt a need for such an organiza- tion, botn as a means for social relaxation and a service club in this district. : Many aad varied have been the ways and means of raising money for many worth-while projects. Catering to weddings and ban- quets at first, meant taking everything from silverware to tablecloths from home, to any able hall, which they could rent. Through the years, besides-dona- tions to several worthwhile char- fties and local calamil the girls have managed to have cup- boards built ix the community centre and have purchased enough equipment to cater to one , hundred people Several times a year dances are sponsored by the Club, other things such as plays, schools, bake sales and an even- ing by the Barbershoppers have helped to swell the funds for charity ete. Signs were placed at each end of the village by the ONO Club. so no one could mistake it any longer for some other village, or miss it entirely. These often have to be rapainted, varnished, and often after Hallowe'en, hunted up and re-hung. In August 1956, the ONO decided to give financial assistance so a Brownie 2nd Girl Guide Group could pe organized in Blackstock. Several of the members volun- teered to be leaders and help in the orgamzation. Later when leaders were found the same fi- mancial assistance was given to start the Cubs and Scouts. These grqps have now formed their own organizations and are able to carry om under their own power. Marriage is the only requisite to enter the club. Each member must in turn hold a meeting. If her home is not big enough, a room at the community centre may be rented. During the meet- ings first names only are used and a penalty for each "Mrs." keynote. Each one must take of- fice in turn when asked and be group ieader in turn. Each group acts as a committee and each member in turn convener in charge of catering, dances, etc. Regular mcetings are held on the second Thursday of each month and the membership fluctuates between 30 and 38 members. During the past 12 months the ONO Club has held four dances, Square Dance Competition, and another was a Family Dance, which even the three-year-olds enjoyed. Several ¢f the members volun- teered t> help with the polio elin- ics and spent a great deal of | time with the TB survey for Cart- wright. Two weddings have been eatered to 'n the past year and another js planned for the mear future. The Tri-school field meet last fall requested the club to pro- vide hot chocolate for the pupils and a Mul course dinner for the teachers. The High School At Home Dance also was a catering Jib which the girls enjoyed do- g. Evening Branch Assists Charities The Auxiliary was organized February, 1946. There are now 45 members. Money has been raised by having euchres, bazaars, cater- ing to weddings and banquets: also by bingos which are held every Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in New Legion Memorial Hall. Since the new hall was built last year the Auxiliary has bought drapes, refrigerator, stove and extra dishes for kitch- en. Money given to help Men's Branch; also help given to many other organizations asking for help--scholarship fund, Christ- mas baskets and in any other way we could. Past - president, F.

For the last four years a special class at the local fair has been spon- sored by the club and this year teenage girls only could enter, so they wouldnt' have to compete with experienced cooks and seam- stresses. For two years the ONO Club has donated pens to the two stu- dents with the highest marks in Grade 9. Since a great many of the members are mothers, the ONO Club is called upon each year by the March of Dimes to do their best, in spite of bad roads and vicious dogs, to canvas Cart- wright Township. At the monthly meetings we try to combine business with plea- sure, all 'he while keeping an eye out for some needy project in the community, with which we might help. This. all seems to make Blackstock a more worth- while place to live.

Greenwood WMS Reaches Afield Greenwood Circuit Auxiliary of the Woman's Missionary Society was organized in 1901 with Mrs. D. Williams as president. At that time there were four preaching points on the Greenwood Circuit of the Whitby District of the Methodist church: namely, Brougham, Greenwood, Kinsale and Mt. Zion. Brougham united with the Presbyterian Church in the early '20's, leaving the other three. The members of the aux- iliary come from the different places. They meet in the after- noon, first Thursday of each month, generally in the home of a member. They follow the study program of the WMS of the Unit- ed Church of Canada.
