The Sunshine Unit of Blyth U.C.W. met on Oct. 9 with 17 members answering the roll call with a verse from Paul’s letter to the Romans. Part of the worship service conducted by Ollie Craig and Margaret Kai, was their sharing a reading entitled, “Thanksgiving Fragrance’’ taken from “devotion al Programs” by Ruth C. Inker- man. It said that it takes more than the delightful aromas emanating from the preparation of food in a kitchen at Thanksgiving time or the lingering fragrance of lavender in a garden to bring about the true meaning of giving thanks, even though they were used to give pleasure to others. “Giving thanks comes from a life lived in faith, dependent upon others, giving to others,” they said. The native people of Chile was the topic of Mary Wightman’s study. Under the dictatorship of that country, the Indians have lost much of their land through the years, and also their identity as a distinct people with a distinct culture. Mary Walden, conducting the business, urged every one to do her part to track down the travelling aprons. The deadline for handing these in as well as Sunshine bags is Nov. 13. At this meeting .ladies offered to help with the luncheon at the Stewardship Event taking place in Blyth United Church next Satur day, Oct. 25. Some will be making cookies for the “breaks”.

Brussels ladies realize dream BY TOBY RAINEY One of the newest businesses enhancing the mini-boom taking placeinBrusselsthese days is a classy ladies’ wear shop called “Something Special.” Run by local entrepreneurs Nella Blake and Wilma Rathwell, the shop opened in last August, and as the name says, is indeed something special. Now the only shop in the immediate area carrying a full line of ready-to-wear clothing for women, the store stocks casual and dressy suits and dresses, as well as a large selection of leisure wear such as slacks and jogging suits. It specializes in separate co-ordinates, so that a client may start with one item from the racks, and later add a handsome selection of co-ordin ates to fill out a wardrobe. Both partners make buying trips to Toronto at least once a week, so new stock is always being added, and the wares will include a good selection of ladies’ shoes, night wear, lingerie, seasonal wear and accessories in good time for Christmas buying. “We are just getting started, so there ’ s lots yet to come, ’ ’ said Mrs. Blake. She added that they had intended to specialize in larger sizes when they began planning he business last Spring, but said there had been such a demand for small and petite sizes that they were convinced only a full-line shop would cater to local needs. AlthoughtheBlakeand Rath- well families knew each other casually for years, the two women only began serious planning toge ther after they met by accident over lunch last spring. Almost immedi ately, they began to discuss the possibility of opening their own business, a dream each had cherished for years, but had never wanted to tackle on her own. They first discussed opening a flower shop, but felt such a business was not practical in Brussels, and came to the idea of a ladies’ wear store after Mrs. Blake said that every time she went to buy a dress, she could never find anything that fit her. From there, the idea blossomed that both may be ideally suited to go into fashion, as both have always been interest ed in the field, and since both knew personally many of the women who would become their clients. “If you know your clients personally, it is a lot easier to stock things you know will please them, ’ ’ said Mrs. Rathwell. Both partners have an easy way with shoppers, and can and do offer excellent advice on items that may be suitable. Both know most people who enter the shop on a first-name basis, although “we even had one lady who phoned from Ottawa to ask about a dress she saw in the window, one day she passed when we were closed. She bought it, too!” laughs Mrs. Blake. Both women’s families and husbands have been behind the idea of the shop from the beginn ing, since both had been working out of their homes for some time to supplement the family income. “If you can’t find a job you want, you have to make one,” Mrs. Rathwell says. “After all, we can’t lose any more in a shop that you can on the farm these days.” Nella Blake’s husband, Gerald, now drives a long-haul transport truck for Hyndman Transport of Wroxeter, after being forced to abandon the family farm after he suffered a near-fatal accident on a silo. Mrs. Blake ran the farm herself, with the help of family and friends, for a year, until she, too, was forced to give it up, with two children at home. They now live in Brussels. Wilma Rathwell and husband, Doug, operate a small farrow-to- finish hog farm at RR 2, Brussels, as well as having a small gravel business. They have five children, now grown, as well as two grandchildren. FOOD SPECIALS! WHITE SWAN .88 FACIAL TISSUE 200’s REG.
