CARAVAN 1 NG
GRATIFYING WORK
•(By Louise Andrew)
- Five wonderful weeks, of . car -
'availing made pp the most ..re-
warding ' summer that I have
experienced. • In an. attempt ' to
share ' my enthusiasin with you
. I' will relate; . some of the high-
lights of the venture.
Four Seasons Retreat • 'Centre
on Rice Lake near Peterborough
was my ..first assignment. This
is • a new church camp which,
when completed will 'be similar
to Five Oaks at• Paris. i Spiritual
'retreats for ministers,' ,Sunday
School teachers, .Young People
and anyone interested in streng-
thening his, . • faith, . will be con-
ducted •here,
At Four Seasons the four car-
avaners, two •ministers and .four
local people .participated in a
work Camp. The girls plastered,
sanded.and painted 'the library,
dining roo}•n • and the halls. Of the
new building: Although we teas-
ed the boys about standing
around they renovated : a rickety
old shack into ' .a very . nice tool
shed: • . • • '
Every day we had an hour. of
•
Bible • Study ' which 'was very
profitable' ' under the' ' guidance
• . of Rev. 'Elmslie "of ' Peterborough.'
In;` the evenings ` we had a•` fel-
lowship program which includ..
:ed . hymn -sings, • .discussions.: and
games.. ,
For relaxation .:we' enjoyed., the'.
'advantages of the nearby ' lake
as well as. occasional Motor .trips
through ' the rolling', countryside
At Little Britain 'near ,Lindsay
.the ' caravaners . • conducted a ten
day vacation. school. It had been
in :progress .' a week . before 1 ar-
rived. .At. 'vaclit ion' school'" the
children': learned 'Bibli•cal;, stories,
crafts, songs' • and games. There
were • seventy children in:, , this
school 'held in the basement of
Little Britain United Churcoh.
me pupils' were div'i'ded into
:the following age grorips: ,kind-'
' ' ergarten, ' ' faun.. „to live • years;
primary, six' to eight, . junior,
nine to eleven '. and 'intermediate,
twelve and. over., Everyone. en-'
•joyed the program, particularly
the- closing night. when they 'put
on a ;concert and display for
their .parents.
On Sunday, July 24th,. the
caravaiters— took — charge-ofthe
,church' service as the Minister
was ,on• holidays John. Brown of
St. 'Thomas. presented an excel-
lentsermon on the • : Twenty
Third Psalm, The girls of .the
team took the scripture, prayers
and music. • -
At Little Britain we were !
billeted: inthe best- of homes
where hospitality. abounded. We
were entertained for. dinner and i
supper , with different families
giving us a good opportunity to
get acquainted with home life
in this .community. After so
many wonderful' meals can you
wonder we put en" weight. • •
For our pleasure • we were'
taken • for . a '..drive , along . ;the
Trent Canal: We were. •fortunate
enough to see the' ' locks work'
both ways and the lift locks at
Kirkfield operate, . All the car-
avaners were ' impressed bythis
massive structure. Another time
ive• 'saw the largest lift, locks in
the ' world at Peterborough.
• ' This' place f ` will Always re-
member for , its ' friendliness and
hospitality.
• From . Little, ' Britain,' John
Brown. and I went to Kilmar, ' a
mining 'area ; in Quebec: En route
We had a three hour stop in Ot-
tawa. This was very enjoyable
as we , toured the Parliament
Buildings and saw „ the changing
of the guard. ' The splendour of
the carvings in 'the stone • and
wood of• the Parliament Build=
sings Must beseen to be truly
appreciated: Although .the Chang-
ing of the guard .was a very irn-
pressive .ceremony ' we •didn't
envy the men in their .bear skin
hats that hot.: day. •
are ;produced by ,this huge' .equip -
Ment.
Another • night we went on -a
hay ride and wiener roast with
the Young People. This was good
old fashioned fun at its best.
Including mountain '' climbing,.
swimming and boating, this
sums up one .wonderful week in
' Quebec. . ,
On the: way 'to Thornhill we
enjoyed another stop. at .Ottawa.
This time; we:. went up the Peace'
¶Lo'uver. Again we were very .for=
tunate as we had the privilege.
..of sitting in 'on a session of the
House of Commons. .
'At Thornhill,. Iay • Sargeant &
I. had a house to 'ourselves as •its
occupants • had gone to Five
(Oaks for. Family Week. We had
a chance toput ou. r home econo-•
mks into . practicei, •
Here I ,was ; director of . a
school of one Bunt red and fifty
children, Local. help •,was 'plent
fu1 and; put to :good. 'use.. Next
Kelmar •is• situated in the •Lau-'
rentians .: about •half : *ay between
'Ottawa and Montreal. We had
never seen such winding , • roads
as we travelled to eget :there. In,
spite of its ' roads . this ."is•'• beau-.
tiful country.. with.'high,. forest
covered= hills. and ' sparkling.
• lakes...
A vacation school ' for one
hundred pupils: of all :ages was
our assigninent ,::on • this .. rural
charge: '' The teen-agers • in this
district volunteered assistance
We badly needed and we 'Were
very; grateful. These .children
were a 'pleasure to work with as
they were keen/ to' work.
"While
.in this region we visit-
ed the , magnisite mine at ' Ke1-
mar. Magnisite is used for .mak-
ing . brick's that Withstand temp-
eratures up to 2700 degrees.
• The., following .evening we
went to' the brick ..refractory. at
Marelan...Where the magnisite is
e intb—'bricks--for'th steel-
kilns''. This '.was very' education-
al '• to • see the crushers, mixers,
kilns and the' pressing machines.
Bricks of all; shapes and . sizes,!
year • this • area' will be able • to
conduct vacation• school without
caravaners. :
• In Toronto we . went'' to see
Ben Hur, a• • terrific : ;picture. We
also ' went , to' Malton • to'watch
'the aiiiplanes and see the Ameri-
can • satelite pass. •
•
Margaret' Lawes, our : 'caravan
director took . W. on a picnic to
Centre. •Island: This 'is ,a' lovely
spot. ,'After the picnic we' went
through the' United Church
house, .,the centre for• more than
7000 United Church congrega-•
tions and accomodation of ' the
offices of • the ..Boards, • 'Depart-
ments and General 'Council.' '
On 'ny final' week I did sur-•
vey work at Richmond Hill in
the morning and vacation school.
in the afternoon ' at Thornhill.
Survey: work : is done in: new
