5. Goal scorer was Gowing with five
goals.
Blame it on the rain! June 20 the
team played its sister team the

parlour on Tuesday, June 20.
Margaret Work and Mary Carr were
in charge of the meeting. The theme
was “Fathers”.
Mrs. Carr gave a reading on the
origin of Father's Day followed by
the singing of This is My Father's
World. Mrs. Work told a story about
an Iowa father who lived on a farm
with his six children. The winters
were cold so the animals had to be
checked during the night so he
wxxuld take his son with him and
they would talk about everything.
He encouraged his son to care about
people, and to respect the earth. This
son today is a university professor
and has written many books on par
enting.
“We need to learn about our roots
to know where home is. We need to
give our children ‘wings’ to travel
and find their way.” she said.

Carr read newspaper stories that
fathers had sent in to the paper. She
then read more stories on fathers

And the rains came down! It’s part
of our everyday language this past
while, everyone with a new wet spot
or high creek or depth of water in
their basement. Not nice but nothing
we can do but lament.
Happy times were in full swing
over the weekend here with lots of
parties - wedding parties, neigh
bourhood parties, congratulation
parties and 30th birthday parties,
each one fun, giving good reason to
celebrate the high points in our lives.
The United Church Youth Group
had a great time at Wonderland on
Saturday thanks to Warren Wray,
Joan and Richard Golden. In case the
Goldens look bleary it’s because
they’re just home from Winnipeg
and Wonderland was the end of their
study leave.
Be sure to get Anne tickets from
Blyth Festival, the play is excellent.
Bye now, Betty G. W.
