Scanning some writers' magazines,I found a few suggestions, For one thing, a writer is a per- son who should be read, hot seen or heard. A writer is a painter, who uses a pen instead of a brush and words instead of oils.Herpurpose is to communicate to her readers what she sees, feels and thinks, and she enjoys putting her thoughts on paper: Thus a person who hates writing letters will probably never become a professional writer. A writer is a person with an ac- tive, imaginative mind, that is tt cons tan tly searching for new topics and for novel ways to use , her rejection slips. She also re- quires a psychological resiliency to bounce back from those rejec- tions. She can paper her walls 'with the notes, or she can learn from the editors' comments, such as "material too slight" or "out of our age bracket", She is usually encouraged by the suggestion to "try us again." In a recent issue of Canadian Author and Bookman, Betty Funke recalls two of her manuscripts were returned with this note attached: ".You'll get there, but not with these." A writer is often a victim of an ailment known as "Writer's Block," which Kenneth Walter describes this way: "I'm floating in the moon, slamming at a dam of truth and sadness. My heart is a wall, holding feeling in. My throat is a stone words won't flush out. Need a backslap, Or incision." A writer is a person who must make a firm commitment to her chosen profession. An excellent, example is Ruth Echeles' "Resolution Day One": "Dawn's first light: Rise and write. Brain is dead. Back to bed," On a more' serious note, Loring Mandel suggests "A writer is a person with The Secret: some of it he tells, some of it he sells, some of it he saves to keep himself warm." Perhaps the most appropriate 'description of a writer, though, is Jay Myer's scientific defini- tion. MR. AND MRS. FRANCIS RYAN Theresa Maria Lansbergen and Francis Joseph Ryan exchanged marriage vows at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Stratford, September 25, 1976. Rev. J, Williams officiated. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs: Wm, Lansbergen, Zurich, and the groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ryan, Mitchell, The matron of honour was Mrs. Margaret Munn, and bridesmaids were Patricia Ryan and Caherine Cyr. Michael Ryan was best man and guests were ushered by Tony Lansbergen and Rick Hoffman. Angela Lansbergen was flower girl and ring bearer was Michael Lansbergen. After a honeymoon in Northern Ontario and Niagara Falls, the couple are residing at RR 1 Bornholm. Photo by Jack Doerr Cowen church women host to regional rally Caven Church Women hosted the annual Stratford Presbyterial Fall Rally, October 13, when Rev. Alex and Mrs. Simpson of Ailsa Craig con- ducted a workshop on worship, With the use of posters and flip cards they presented a capsule presentation on the subject. The capsule was made up of two com- ponents, informatiOn, and food for thought. They led the women through the various aspects of worship, ie., the definition, the elements, and the aids. They spoke on both corporate workship, as in a church service, and private worship, stressing that we can worship God in everything we do. "The worship of God never leaves us as it finds us . we grow as we worship," they con- cluded. The morning devotions were given by Mrs. T. L. Scott and Mrs. Mac Lamond, Cromarty. Mrs. William Sillery, Exeter, welcomed the ladies on behalf of the Caven women. Reports from Synodical were given by Mrs. T, L. Scott, Mrs. Mac Engel and Mrs, Harry Loghrin, while a resume of the 1976 bus trips taken by the ladies of Stratford Presbyterial was given by Mrs, Stuart Peebles. Both Mrs. Jack Crawford and Mrs, Scott spoke briefly on the new study book for the coming season. Mrs. Derek Nind, president, brought a message from WMS council and the Rolston Trio of St. Marys presented' musical numbers on piano, flute and violin. Exeter ladies performed a skit which took place in the setting of a doctor's office, It pointed out the 'ailments' of many church women's organizations in an amusing but pointedly thbught provoking way. Those taking part were Helen Hodgins, Mary Dougall,_ Pat Dalry mple, Edna Sims, Muriel Dalrymple, Judy Dalrymple, Lois Learn anti Don. na Perry, Mrs. Harry H. Strang, presi• dent of Caven Church Women, was the chairman.
