Page 6, News, Tuesday, May 15, 1990 28th Anniversary Party By Angie Saunders The News Terrace Bay Legion Branch 223 held its 28th Anniversary Birthday Party on Friday, May 4. The evening started out with grace said by Ev Falzetta and a toast by Lillian Belliveau. A delicious pot luck supper was enjoyed by everyone. Afterwards, the male members of Branch 223 did a great job wash- ing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen. Alma Hart, 1st Vice-President took over the position of President for Shirley Love. The Schreiber Branch, President Aerliane Johnson said a few words, and expressed her members' appreciation at being invited to the party. Year pins were presented to: 15 years- Ann Dodd, Pat Lingley, & Bev Legeault; 20 years- Ev. Falzetta; 25 years- Dolly Sitko & Mary Hamilton, 35 years- Shirley Caron. Pam Jones made the mystery draw that was won by Stella Gusul.. Henrietta Sellars and Shona Patriquin sang a few songs for the audience and also led a sing-song. The Terrace Bay Terrors (alias Pam Jones and Adaline Daly) put on a skit which kept everyone roaring with laughter. The 28th Birthday Party turned out to be a great success and a wonderful time was had by all. Camping brings a family together (NC)--Each year as vacation time rolls around, increasing numbers of people are turning their backs on the cities and on many of the popular tourist attractions, to "get away from it all" and get back to nature. Camp- ing in all of its forms is generally re- garded as the finest way to strengthen one's relationship with nature. That's not the only relationship nurtured and strengthened by camping, however. More than one survey in recent times has revealed that camping has a way of strengthening personal and family relationships as well. In the hustle and bustle of the mod- ern rat race, family ties are often neg- lected and strained in many ways. Ac- cording to one leading researcher, Stress, one of the principal ingredients of modern life, is known to suppress effective intra-family communication. When that happens, problems in the home are often neglected and left un- resolved only to fester and get magni- fied over time. On a camping trip that stress is relieved, lines of communica- tion are opened and problem resolu- tion becomes simpler. On a camping trip every member of the family can get involved. All of the children have the opportunity to do their parts of the overall larger project and feel the sense of accomplishment which comes with seeing a project through to its completion. As each child is given a responsibility, the par- ents have the opportunity to share their knowledge and skills with the children in helping them to plan their contribution. Children learn how to Camping strengthens relation- .Ships as every member of the fam- ily gets involved. be self sufficient as they go about their assigned task. : Another key benefit of the camping vacation is the absence of television and telephones. Family members talk to one another and develop a sense of togetherness. As they tour the country, children see Canada from a very different per- spective. It is no longer a set of col- oured maps in a dog-eared geography textbook, but a vast land with an infi- nite variety of experiences. In some cases it is their first sight of wildlife never before seen outside of a zoo or the pages of a book. Whether it is the vastness of a prairie sunset, the tran- quillity of a maritime fishing village, the grandeur of the Rockies or the ghost-like mystery of the early morn- ing mist rising off a small wilderness lake, it is a view of Canada they will share for a lifetime. Even after the vacation is over and remains only a memory, the recollec- tions of shared experiences still have a cohesive effect on the entire family. The haunting call of the loon as the family is gathered around the camp- fire at the end of the day will still be remembered at home by the fireplace in the middle of winter. ee Born to be wild (& 40) " Happy.
