Church News The Catholic Women’s League (CWLI of Sacred Heart Church held a Hallo- we’en Dance November 3 (in the Octave of All Saint's) at the King City Community Centre on Doctor's Lane. Decorated with flying, black bats and white gauze ghosts hanging from the ceiling. the room resounded with the swinging sounds of the George Cowie Quartet. As has been the case at previous CWL dances, it was well attended, with 84 couples turning out and kick- ing up their heels to a variety of tunes. I’ve never quite figured out whether a CWL polka is an endurance test, a rugby match or a Bohemian Dance developed in the early 19th Century. ’Meetlng of the Figure Skating Club Parents Novem- ber 20 at the arena, 8 pm. There's some fun in every- thing if you try hard enough. Even in the energy crisis! Ecologist Ian Effors of the Science Council of Canada has some tips to conserve energy.

Former parishioner Mike Dalton, now living in the Maritimes, attended the dance and was presented with an engraved cup by Father Fred- erick on behalf of the people of Sacred Heart in recogni- tion of the work he had done for the church. A special surprise was the entry of a candle-lit cake to honor the birthday ’of Anne Elliott of Malton, England, who was at the dance. A lovely buffet selection was put out and everyone helped themselves. After- wards the dancing resumed until the wee small hours. Good Morning Group The GMG was very pleased to have as their guest speak- er November 7, Mary Sue McCarthy. Mrs. McCarthy is currently giving a series of talks on marriage and related subjects at the United Church in Richmond Hill. She is a resident of Kingscross in King. the mother of seven children, and the wife of Dan McCarthy, who works for the CBC and was one of the founders of the “Friendly Giant" and “Mr. Dressup" Shows. Mrs. McCarthy also teaches at York University and coun- sels for the Richmond Hill & Thornhill Area Family Serv- ices. She appears on an early Sunday morning TV show. Mrs. McCarthy was intro- duced by President Chris Newland and said that the only thing she could do really well was ‘talk’ and that no- body would listen to her at home, so , . .!! home. so , . .!! She was not afraid to use herself and her marriage as examples as she claimed to be from a “pig in the parlor" Irish family, while her hus- band was from “lace-curtain" Irish. Unfortunately in our so- ciety the woman is usually too isolated with housework and children while the man is usually too stimulated by his job and daily contacts. A statement once drawn to her attention was “what some people call communication is really verbal abuse". Obvi- ously not all talking is com- munication. Mrs. McCarthy had two members write down the tra- ditional female/male stereo- types during a “brainstorm” session. Examples such as strong/weak, sensible/flighw. and explorer/stay - at - home emerged. Social standards lead us to expect this of marriage but standards are and have rapidly changed in the last few years. There is a different concept of mar- riage. A value revolution is taking place. Most young persons still want marriage, but not the marriage of their parents. Parenthood is creative. but it is not the only way to be creative. There are new atti- tudes, but the old hurts and fears are still there. Parents are blamed, but not_ trained. Marriage is not 'a magic transformation of two indi- viduals into a unit. For a marriage to grow, the indi- vidual must also grow. Moti- vation for change is within yourself. In speaking of marriage where one person is domin- ant} or domineering, she quoted Eleanor Roosevelt as saying “no one can humiliate me without my permission". For every sadist there is a masochist. The book “Open Marriage" is idealistic and ahead of its time, Mrs. McCarthy feels. Many people misunderstand its meaning. She closed by answering questions and saying “the basic human drive is to be- come ourselves, who we are. who we are designed to be. If you possess yourself, only then can you give of your- self. President Chris Newland presented Rev. Neville Bish- op with a cheque on behalf of the Good Morning Group, in repayment for the use of the church hall as a meeting place. Mr. Bishop responded by saying that he and the war- dens were happy to see the church providing a needed community service and thanked Mrs. Newland for the cheque and for previous Christian education dona- tions.
