Laura Dickey and Olive Thomson (Decorate your home with beautiful CUSTOM DRAPES in London were asked, "What has the International Year of the Child meant to you?"

A petition was passed to all ladies to be signed to help towards having Dr. Robert McClure receive the 1980 Royal Bank Award as an Outstanding Canadian. Mrs. Mary Fisher and group presided for the Worship theme, "The New Year." Everyone was wished A Happy and Prosperous New Year and read the Gate of the Year.

Recipe( for Happiness was read followed by a prayer. My Little Kitchen by Mrs. Mary Fisher. Mrs. Ada Dinney proceeded to whip up a U,C.W. recipe called A New Year Brownie with each, executive member and group member sharing in the mixing. Mrs. Alice McLean's group served a delicious lunch. discussed the changes that have taken place in our way of living concentrating on the changes in church services and Bible translations. Dorothy Grainger read the Scripture from the Good News translation of Matthew 6. Beth Batten spoke on the topic "As thy days so shall thy strength be." She pointed out that we often worry needlessly. There will always be troubles and disasters but God did not cause these but will always be with us to get through such times. Disaster has creative aspects. Three illustrations of this were given "First the man who thanked God he was an alcoholic as the recovery experience had given him a greater knowledge of life and God. Second was the woman who was severely ill but helped herself by asking, "What can God and I do together with this trouble." Third was that Christ's death on the Cross was not only a tragedy but a triumph. Following the benediction a social hour was held with Ann Brodie's group serving lunch, List winners in euchre play The Exeter Rebekahs and Oddfellows held their monthly euchre Wednesday at the lodge hall.

"Net really," "Do YOU think they should treat you differently?" "No, not really. They treat me okay." "What do you think the International Year of the Child meant then, if it didn't mean anything to you?" One little girl had an an- swer, "I think it meant. Children in poor countries got more to eat," One of the projects slated to help children in developing Countries was called "Music for UNICEF." A group of well-known performers in the pop field gave a benefit concert for UNICEF at the United Nations General Assembly. Following the professionals' lead, high school students across Canada held special musical events with profits going to UNICEF to help provide medical care, education, clean water supplies and fotA for children in developing countries. It was far a reaching program but only one of many designed to help children in need. Other GRADUATES — Miss Marilyn Martens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marius Martens of Grand Bend, graduated from the Westervelt Travel Institute, London recently. Graduation exercises were held at the Holiday Inn in London. Marilyn is employed at Goliger's Travel Agency in Scarborough, Ontario. Photo by Jack Doerr programs took place at local levels; some were one-time events; some were the start of on-going programs. During the year, attempts were also made to focus attention on the children of our country - their problems, their needs, their rights. Movies and documentaries were aired on the autistic Child, the meantally han- dicapped child, the battered child, the divorced child (The last program dealt with children of divorced parents and how they were affected.) A lawyer, who worked with children of divorced parents, made a statement that seemed an appropriate theme Tor the Inernational Year of the Child - "Kids are people, too," In a fast- moving society, where children are sometimes viewed as excess baggage, it's a fact well-worth remembering. • One of the first ' two programs I saw in the year showed two contrasting lifestyles. The setting of the first was a dusty street corner in a city in a Third World country. A young woman, shabbily dressed, tied an infant, who was also clothed in rags, to the top of a pole ,and waved him above her head. While the baby cried, she smiled and passersby dropped coins into a cup. To me, the scene was appalling. Then the scene shifted to a huge beautiful auditorium in an American city. The place was packed with men and women dressed in tuxedos and evening gowns. The stage was ablaze with camera lights and footlights, and on stage, paraded a dozen or so miniature beauties. The five-and-six-year-old little girls wore frilly dresses and patent shoes; every hair. was in place; they walked daintily and smiled prettily to show their perfect. teeth. Their smiles were especially evident when a camera or a judge looked their way. When the pageant was over, the winner explained with a weary smile how easy it was: "You just have to Please turn to page 7 A&H SUPERIOR FOOD MARKET Mrs. Douglas Moir, St. Marys, who received it on behalf 01 the Explorer Group of St. Marys Presbyterian.
