Talbot, dau- ghter of the late Mr, and Mrs, George Dewar, BlueWaterer Highway, Stanley Township. Mrs. Dewar had turkeys which were down at the end of the garden, and also a hen with a late hatch of chicks when the storm hit on Decem- ber 9, She feared for the saf- ety of the turkeys and was sure that the hen and her brood would have beenblown away and perished. But when they went out next morning, the turkeys were foundto have weathered the storm safely, They looked around for signs of the hen and chickens, and .found them under a snowdrift with an air hole at the top. Mother hen had chosen a sheltered spot near the bank of the creek and gathered her young in under her. The storm had raged, the snow had fal- len, but still she sat as it drifted over the top, of her! Her breath had melted the snow and so kept a little hole open in the top of the drift. And so her young were kept warm and dry until they were rescued by Mr. Dewar. prayers of this branch for the great work in the northland. The president introduced Mrs. H, H, Ormond who gave a most interesting talk onBr zit its peo- ples and terrain, which she en- titled, "The Surprises of Brazil". The country is larger than all the rest of South America and em- braces a hot climate in the north and cold in the south. Mrs. Or- mond also told of attending a sewing circle at a church in Sao Paulo fpr English speaking peo- ples, and helping make baby quilts, etc„ for a Salvation Army Home and Orphanage. After a period for questions, Mrs. Ormond delighted those present by 'playing carols on her accordian. As a young lady, Mrs, Ormond taught in a Presbyterian Church school in Brazil, so she was no stranger to the country when she went to live in Sao Paulo where Mr. Ormond, an engineer for the Ford Motor Company, was engag- ed in a building project for three years before retiring to Bayfield. The meeting was closed by re- peating The Lord's Prayer in unis- on, after which Mrs, E, Heard, the hostess,' served tea.
