HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1975-10-23, Page 7The congregation at Cavan
United Church marked their
100th anniversary with a special
service last Sunday. The Win-
throp church now serves about
100 families in the area, and for
an anniversary project, the
church issued a booklet contain-
ing photos of the family members
and a historical sketch.
A frame church was used by
.the congregation, from its found-
ing, until 1907 when the present,
brick church was built, at a cost of
$9,800.
The sketch, written by Mrs.
Russel Bolton, says that the
Ladieg Aid raised $900 for the
new church. Cavan Church voted
for union in 1925 and joined the
'United Church of Canada. For 50
years biffore it had „ been a
Presbyterian church.
The history mentions that a
numer of other churches have
served the people of McKillop
and the Winthrop area over the
years. Bethel Church,' Duff's
KcKillop, McKillop Evangelical
United Brethern Church and
Providence Methodist Church all
contributed membe'rs to Cavan
when their congregations closed.
In 1962 the Cavan congregation
joined with Northside United
in Seaforth and Rev. M. E.
Reuber serves both congre-
gations. Miss Marjorie Papple is
organist at Cavan.
Over he years the very active
Cav 'congregation have had
womens groups who raised funds
and did relief work. A variety of
groups, including Mission Band,
Young' People's, Cradle Roll, C.
G. I. T., a Baby Band and Hi C
have served the interests of the
children and young people of the
church.
Rev. Harold Snell. of Exeter was
guest minister for the anniversary
service and Mrs. Neil Little was
violin soloist.,

A time trip back to the Mat
decade and a half after 1900 Was
available at Seafqrth Public Li-
brary Thursday night, NO few
people showed up to take it.
The audience of *nit 10 for
their show about old post cards
was a change for Allan Anderson
and Betty Tomlinson after capa-
city crowds in Goderich and Owen
Sound. But both said they en-
joyed the more intimate group,
with a chance to talk and more
fully answer questions from
everyone in the audience.
'It was a good change of pace,'.
said Allan Anderson, a freelance
broadcaster. The touring show
developed from his collection of
more than 22,000 post cards.
Post card collecting was a
man ia , 'the TV of that time.' In
1908 when the population of
Canada was under seven million,
the post office estimated that 41
million post cards were sent
through the mails. When people
travelled to other cities or coun-
tries, the first thing they did was
buy post cards, to keep and to
send borne.
'People travelled a lot. Traiu
travel wasn't expensive and the,
trains went everywhere. Folks
sent cards instead of phoning. In
1907, -there was one phone in
Canada for every 60 people. Now
there's one phone for every two
people,' Mr. Anderson said as
slides from '-his collection ap-
peared on the screens
The pair showed a few cards of
Seaforth and area, cross Canada
scenes, theme cards on water
sports, jokes 'naughty' cards.
Sometimes local photographers
printed their photos in post card
style and people could send their Yeasty
own photos as cards.
Miss Tomlinson, also a free- Meeting III of the Yeasty Risers

of the collection, says discoveries John Moylan. Each girl answered

they show them. In Goderich they report was given. Mrs. Moylan
showed the finished product of
batter bread • In groups of four the
girls mixed up the' indredients of
batter bread and set them in pans
to rise. Mary Ann Nolan brought
the pop and, the group had bread
for a snack,

WIthri such a catastrophe occurs, the

anything I want or need to buy now. This
situation is frustrating when I'm alone, but
it also happens when I'm with others. Then
it's downright embarrassing. Perhaps
you've suffered through similar humilia-

Have you met someone on the street that
you thought you should know? Her faCe
looked familiar, but you couldn't remem-
ber her name. You felt worse because she
acted as though she knew you. Did you
exchange idle conversation with her while
you frantically searched your mind for her
name? Did you draw a blank? That has
often happened to me.
Once a friend and knet another girl in a
store. When she stopped to chat, I
wondered how in introduce her to my
companion. I considered using an evasive
introduction, such as "Of course, you know
who this is." but I feared she'd answer,
"No, I don't think we've ever met." How
can you introduce two people when one
name is a blank?

Of paper. Then we tried to guess who we
were by asking questions, My famous
person was Nancy Green Raine, one ,of
Canada's foremost skiers. I began with a
torrent of queries: "Am I female? Am I a
movie star, a TV performer, a singer, a ;
comedienne, a novelist? Am I a Canadian?
Than' my train of 'thought stalled. 'My
partner dropped a few hints. When I asked
whether my famous person was still living,
he replied, "Oh yea. She's got legs and
everything."
He urged me to find out what "field"
she was in. His hints didn't help me, until
he had a sudden craving for a Mars Bar,
Later he asked questions about his famous
person. My ego wasn't bolstered when he
correctly guessed Billy 'Graham after only
half a dozen questions. I comforted myself
with the thought: "Those silly games
aren't worth teasing my brain with." Was
my mind occupied with more important
things? No, but it sounds like a good
excus', and it's better than admitting my
mind went blank.

Here they got the story behind
one of the Seaforth post cat* in
their show. The card ShoWs a lady
in a buggy at Seaforti1's Main
intersection. The same card is on
page 22 of the Expositor's April
Centennial edition,
The lady in the buggy is Mrs.
William Johnston of McKillop,
mother of .Mrs. Russell Bolton.

the photo because he was rushing
to the Royal stables where he'd
get a rest and fed around the
corner.
The broadcasters, who have a
Canada Council grant, are show-
ing their cards in Ontario this fall.
In the spring they'll tour cities in
western Canada.
The two stress that there's a lot
of social history in the beautifully
hand tinted cards that just isn't
available anywhere else,
In those days, people loved
crowding together at regattas,
parades and train stations and
the cards show these crowds.
Allan Anderson hopes to write
a book on the early Canadian
cards. But reproduction of the
colours on cards would make any
book very expensive, Miss Tom-
linson says. To keep purchase
price in the ordinary person's
reach, the book would have to be
subsidized, she said.

Notes
Rev. E. Stephens Brucefield
took the devotionals this week.
He accompanied the singing of
familiar hymns on the piano
'What a friend we have in Jesus'
'My faith looks up to Thee'.
He read the 23rs1 psalm 'The
Lord is my Shepherd'. He said we
should enjoy the fall season
remembering that the master
hand gives us the beauty and the
bountiful harvest. He sends the
sunshine and rain. The hand of
God is recognized in all our
bounty.
The minister continued by
telling the story of the young child
Who practised her lesson on the
piano and how very monotonous it
became to all listening until one
day a master musician appeared.
He played the piano with her
and everyone heard some really
delightful music. 'His skill pro-
vided the music so God's help and
skill is with us to see us through
difficult times.
The meeting closed with the
• Lord's Prayer in unison.
Then Mr. Stephens played
several familiar songs with his
original variations. These songs
included Annie Laurie 'My Wild
Irish Rose', 'Home on the,
Range', 'The more we 'are
together', and 'You are my
sunshine'.
Miss Turnbull celebrated her
11th anniversary at Kilbarchan on
Saturday.
