Church News At St. John‘s Anglican Sun- day there will be morning prayer at 10 am not 10:30 (but just for this week). This' is because the parish picnic is to be held and it is hoped to- leave the church at 10:45 am. The picnic will be held at St. Mark’s Chapel at Oak Ridges. Each family is to bring eno- ugh first course food to sup- ply their needs, plus one more person (cold cuts, rolls, salads, sandwiches celery, carrots. pickles, mayonnaise, etc) They should also bring a tablecloth. paper plates and their own cutlery. Dessert and beverages will be pro- vided. Mrs. Edward Weaver and son George by Sydney and Olive Goldsmith.

Two sofas. one in deep blue velvet and the other done in a red. white and blue bold quilted design was accented touches of dull red/orange velvet. RECLINING NUDE An unusual sketch of a re- clining nude adorned one wall. The table lamps were of a flower-like design of alabaster. The dining room had antique Canadian pine furniture. On the sideboard was a display of mustache cups. Plants provided touches of green throughout the rooms. with one planter be- ing of beautiful inlaid polish- ed wood. The large white house with grey trim is set on a slight rise overlooking acres of lawn. Only the main floor of this home was open to the viewers. . From the living room you passed through glass doors ~and walked past tennis courts to a cedar guest house with wicker furnishings and an original abstract painting mounted on the ceiling.
