Reading program again at museum
By C. Dawn Crabe ..
GRAND BEND .- Last year,
Lambton County Library launched
a new summer reading program
aimed at stimulating an interest in'
books among the very young. This
popular program will be offered
again this summer. Parents and
children aged one to six can pick up
a HAPPY CLOWN reading chart
any day after July 4th in most
Lambton County Library branches.
Parents help their children choose
library materials according to the
suggestions on the reading chart.
This helps parents discover the va-
riety of books in the library that is
suitable for young children. Every
time a parent and child shares a few
books, they will receive a balloon
and a colourful stickerto put on the
chart. A colourful button will be
given to the child when his/her
chart is full.
This program will encourage par-
ents to share books with thcir
young children on a regular basis.
The value of nurturing a love of
books at an early age cannot be un-
derestimated. James Trelcase, author
of 'The Read Aloud Handbook'
_ says, "Reading aloud to children as
little as 10 minutes a day -stimu-
lates their emotional development,
imagination, attention span, and
language skills. By a gentle, natural
process, sharing books with chil-
dren promotes the desire and ability
News from Grand
• By Roberta Walker
GRAND BEND - Pastor Father
Paul Beck . was celebrant for all
weekend Masses at Immaculate
Heart of Maryiaurch, Grand Bend.
The reader at the Saturday Mass
was Martin Vrollyk; and Paul Die-
trich was the organist. Roberta
Walker performed a solo "Here I
Am, Lord" during the Communion,
and Carl Rood and Bill,Baltessen
were the Eucharistic Ministers.
The - sermon was based on the
readings, from the Book of Job, and
the story of Christ calming the
stormy waters. Job asked if God
really cared what was going on in
the world and the Apostles worried
"Master, do Y, i : ,n care that we
are sinking?" -
God is in control, but faith is a
leap into the dark. Those who are
suffering can find trust and strength
in the Lord.
Father Beck wishcd a special
blessing upon all Fathers at each
Mass, for Fathers Day.
Church of God
GRA B. D - Thcrc was a
special ish for Fathers, in hon-
or of athers Day the Grand Bend
Church of God on Sunday. The con-
gregation sang "Open Our Eyes
Lord" as a prayer to begin the ser-
vice. Millie Desjardine led in the
hymnsing, and a group of Bcacon-
naircs sang "0 Calvary". Pastor
Desjardinc's sermon focused on im-
pressions of fathers.
It is necessary that fathers give
their children a solid, consistent ex-
ample of faith to follow. The chil-
dren should be brought tip with dis-
cipline, balanced with plenty of
encouragement to succeed.in life.
"We thank thee for Fathers true,
who always spokc to us of You."
In the evening service, Leota
Snyder sang a special solo, "Until

taken from Mark 8, the miracle of

The introduction of reading as a
pleasurable product during the pre-
school years creates a positive atti-
tude aboutbooks .in children and
helps them immensely when they
enter school.
