Birthday Party, sponsored by the Afternoon Unit of the U.C.W. for all citizens of the Belgrave area who have celebrated an 80th birthday was held in the schoolroom of Knox United Church, Monday afternoon, August 10th. The 17 hon- oured guests were seated at a semi circle of small tables facing a large table on which were two birthday cakes. A prelude of piano selections by Mrs. Dow Vair added greatly to the joyous occasion. Mrs. Cecil Coultes, social convenor, welcomed all pre- sent with a special welcome to 'the invited guests. She then Opened the meeting with a very familiar verse. "This is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be t lad in it." The hymn "Now tha nk we all our God," was sung followed by prayer written by Helen Stei- ner Rice, read by Mrs. Leslie Bolt. Upon arriving each person was given a sheet of ten axioms; now these were read and studied together. Two dwelt upon more than the others perhaps, were "God is glorified not by our groans but by our thanksgiving and secondly, "Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race!' This latter one Mrs. Coultes preferred to re word Thankfulness, appreciation and sharing can be The Light of the World. A short but very enjoyable program consisted of songs by Clarke Johnston, accom- panied by mrs. Norman Coultes, readings by Mrs. Garner Nicholson, Mrs. William Kelly and Mrs. Vic- tor Youngblut; piano solos by Jennifer and Denise Coultes and mouth organ selections by Mrs. Mel Bradburn with Mrs. Norman Coultes at the piano. Mrs, Earl Anderson on behalf of the U.C.W. thanked all who had helped in any way to make our party a success. She invited everyone to at- tend the next unit meeting, September 1st at 8:15 p.m. when Mrs. Cecil Coultes will show slides of her tour of Europe, particularly Italy. While the candles on the cakes were being lighted, friends joined hands to form a circle around the seated guests and Happy Birthday was sung first to the ladies then to the gentlemen.
