PAGE I2 TERRACE BAY NEWS AUGUST 22, I973 FALL FAIR The most happy event of the year, for most house wives occurs this year on Thursday, Sep- tember 6th from 7 to IO p.m. and Friday, Sep- tember 7th from 7 to I0:30 p.m. and Saturday September 8th from I:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. with no admission charge. This popular event is large -ly made possible by the generous donations of the community in general. An amusing feature is a pleasure of the house wives surveying the space available thr- ough their donations for the fair. This is only equal by their dismay when husbands and family return home proudly displaying the art- icles they have bought which someone else has discarded. On Thursday evening the public may inspect the display of all articles and exhibits, en- joying lunch, coffee and donuts as they con- sider possible purchases. On Friday the giant auction will be held when furniture, electrical appliances, books, radios, stereos, stoves, heaters, fridges, bed- ding, boots, curtains, floor coverings and so forth will be sold, under the auctioneers gav- el. There will also be lunch, pop, coffee and so forth. On Saturday at I:30 p.m. there will be a sale of baking, sewing, clothing, toys, vege- tables and various novelties with a smorgasbord supper from 5 to 6:30 p.m. And from 7 to 9 p. m. the penny auction will take place. There will again be a display of articles made by the Retarded Childrens Association of this area offered for sale and space available for the White Elephant Table to which anyone can donate articles to be sold to help promote this needed work. TERRACE BAY RECREATION NEWS PLAYGROUND NEWS: Last week was highlighted by boat tours at Rossport, conducted by Mr. R. Kenney, for the 8-I4 year old children. The tours were fantas- tic and everyone who went on them was glad to have the opportunity to see the Rossport area and to learn some very interesting local his- tory. Special thanks to Mr. Kenney for taking us on the tours. It was Unbirthday time for all of the 5 and © year old children and the leaders on Friday, and in the afternoon they had a party to cele- brate the fact that it was nobody's birthday. After a few party games, everyone enjoyed a lunch of sandwiches and cookies, topped off TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN wit THE TORONTO S51J}\] SYNDICATE English, Irish and Scottish in descent, Geordie, five, is healthy and active. He has light brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin. An operation has corrected a turned eye and he wears glasses to maintain the correction. He is a light sleeper, always waking early. Geordie is curious and adventurous. He is full of questions and likes to go exploring. He mixes well with other children, being happy to visit or be visited, but is not keen on rough games. He'd rather ride his tricycle. Geordie is considered to be of average intelligence but his performance in kindergarten was below average. This youngster is perhaps a bit immature and it takes him a while to get accustomed to a new routine, like school. He is usually co- operative with adults, however, and responds well to kind ex- planations and firmness. Geordie needs warm, understanding parents who will give him stimulation without pressure, firm guidance and a great deal of individual attention. It is especially important that his adopting father will enjoy sharing many activities with his small son. To inquire about adopting Geordie, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid Society. : 2 HE IS ADVENTURO continued page I3 ....e..
