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., ARNOLD STINNISSEN.

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.

Each girl answered are being made about the cards as the roll call and the treasurers 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.

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- tions. 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? A blank mind can embarrass you in other Meeting IV of the Yeasty Risers was held at the home of Mrs. Joe Dorsey. -Each girl answered the roll call and the treasurers report was given. They made different figures of sweet dough such as circle eights, braids. snails. For the next meeting the girls are supposed to bring some variations of sour dough.

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.

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 horse's legs are blurred" in 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.

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'.
