Nola Love spoke about the Senior Games held at Seaforth in June, when two of their members, Mary Coxan • and Catherine Junker, won the bronze medals for euchre. A thankyou letter was received from Huron View for a money donation received. R was decided that the Sauble Court residents will work on more quilting material over the winter season. In the program time, Hazel Lovie read a poem "Allah Bless Canada". Nola Love had a contest to identify pictures of famous persons like movie stars and politicians, won by Annie Morenz with 23 out of 25 correct. Nola closed the program with a poem. During the lunchtime, Happy Bir- thday was sung for all those members with July, August and September birthdays. • The October meeting for the Golden Agers will be a potluck dinner at 12 p.m. at the Anglican parish hall, Oc- tober 7. Last Outdoor Service at United Church Labor Day marked the last outdoor church service for Grand Bend United Church. Special music was provided by .a local men's quartet: Doug Martin, Fraser Lobban, George Stacey and Eldon MacDonald, who sang several old-time favorite hymns. The topic of Rev. Peebles sermon was "What About the Future?" with scriptures from Luke 21 :5 -28. -Three things pointed out by the scripture were: 1) The destruction of Jerusalem, 2) The dispersal of the Jews among other nations, and 3 ) The return of Jesus Christ. Rev. Peebles said that every Christian knows that in the future Christ will suddenly and unexpectedly return to reign over the kingdome of Earth. Many things are unknown to the unbelievers. Rev. and Mrs. Peebles are leaving on September 9 for holidays, to return after September 30. If there is need of pastoral care, please contact Rev. Brian Elder of Crediton at 234-6748. A supply minister Rev. Charles Graham of London will lead in wor- ship while Rev. Peebles is on holidays. Please remember that next Sun- day, September 13, the service time reverts to 11:15 a.m. and will be held indoors from now on. At the close of this Sunday's ser- vice, the congregation sang "God be with you until we meet again". Cof- fee and cookies were served after the service. Catholic news The church was filled for the three masses over the Labor Day weekend at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. Father Beck, pastor, was celebrant at all the masses. Donald Ternes was reader at the 11 a.m. Mass, with him and his wife acting as Eucharistic ministers during commu- nion. Paul Dietrich played the organ for the hymns and soloist Roberta Walker sang "Let There Be Peace On Earth" and "Ten Lepers". Father Beck's sermon was based on several scriptures which em- phasized the need for a loving Chris- tian to correct someone who -is in serious error. Some people have to be told to "Mind Your Own Business", they are so nosey. Others never get in- volved with other people even when help or contact is necessary. The hardest task is to have the courage and compassion to correct someone when it is necessary. . A teenager died recently after becoming involved with drugsand prostitution because her parents were tired of trying to correct her, so they let things go until it was too late. Do we ever let things go until it's too late? We are responsible for one another. As St. Paul said, love is the ONE thing that cannot hurt ,our neighbour - it is the answer to eery one of the commandments. After all the Masses, a collection was taken up by the Order of Alham- bra, Algarva no. 168, to raise money for their special charity, the han- dicapped of the community, who are "God's Special People", deserving of our help. Personals The Community Bible Study Group will resume their sessions on September 15 at 9:30 a•.m. in the Sau- ble Court Lounge. All ladies are in- vited to attend. - The sympathy of the community is expressed to Mrs. Marjorie Mason, in the death last week of her brother, Ar- thur Minielly of Wyoming. - Alec and Clara Hamilton had a visit from their cousins recently, Cecil and Alice Hodgins. Their friends Wilma and Jack Flintstone of Winnipeg, also dropped in for the day on their travels to the east coast. The Flintstones planned to tour Ontario, up to Ottawa, all the way through Quebec to Prince Edward Island, then back home through the U.S. Sounds like quite a trip. Oakwood residents enjoyed a "black party" to wind up the summer on Saturday of the Labor Day weekend. Bob and Susan Earley, Lon- don, treated their friends and neighbors to an entire roasted pig, done to a turn on a spit over a wood fire. Nearly half of Oakwood turned out for the feast and the last chance to visitbefore closing down their cot- tages. Some of the children preferred hot dogs to pork, but they all had a great time with water fights, dancing and the opportunity to stay up late, playing hide and seek in the dark. Great fun for all.

This is a powerful dramatic work, portraying the dilemma of trying to keep the family farm in the family. Some scenes, such as police rifling the home to seize the account books as the grandmother weeps in terror, will stay with you for a long time. Don't miss this sobering tale of our times. All around Grand Bend The last crowds of Labor day have jammed the streets of Grand Bend and gone home. Now the businesses begin to close down, although more are remaining open this year than ever. The cottagers are packing up to head home, reminding one of the flocks of geese that will all too soon be heading south. Children are back to school, much to the relief of parents, as family life resumes the regular schedule of work, school and meetings. Leaves are already beginning to turn on the trees and acorns crunch underfoot. Summer is winding down and autumn awaits. The seasons change, greeted by some with an- ticipation, others with dread (especially a•few students). It's been a great summer - farewell to all of our visitors, we'll see you again in the spring!
