The Ontario Summer School was held at the Blue Mountain Lodge. The weekly group numbered 37, with many visitors dropping in for a shorter period. Owing to a serious accident to his son, Mr. Curtis Kelsey was unable to be present as originally
planned, but Mrs. Margery McCormick, out of her great love for Canada, came directly from Louhellen to give a wonderful course on 'The Seven Valleys". "Administration" was the second major subject, co-ordinated by Lloyd Gardner, with various speakers. An added feature was introduced this year when Nancy Campbell gave three periods on "Platform Technique While Speaking in Public". [CBN No 19 April 1951 p13; CBN No 23 November 1951 p6]

The annual Ontario Summer Conference was held this year at Geneva Park, Lake Couchiching, a Y.M.C.A. camp. There was an attendance of about 90 for the entire week, with about 120 for the first weekend.
The principal speaker for the occasion was Dr. Stanwood Cobb of Washington, D.C., well-known lecturer and author of many books on the spiritual aspect of the Faith. The subject of his series of lectures was "Deepening the Spiritual Life".
A course on "The Art of Consultation"
was conducted by Violet Wuerfel, of
Detroit.
Margery McCormick, of Chicago, brought the warmth of
her loving personality to the conference
and was instrumental in conducting daily
classes for inquirers drawn from the staff
and other guests of the camp.
Gisela Commanda, of the nearby
Rama Indian Reservation, (Rama First Nation) gave interesting
and informative talks on the life of
the Indian and had several displays on
hand. Several Baha'is visited the Reservation
and made valuable contacts. |
