Blyth UCW studies 'love' The Sunshine Unit of the Blyth U.C.W. met on Feb. 13 with 26 present. Mary Campbell and Ida Proctor led the worship service with Rena Watt at the piano. In keeping with St. Valentine's Day, the theme chosen was Love. "He sees the Sparrow and Me," and a reading by Ida, made members conscious of God's encompassing care for all his creatures. Through scripture reading and an essay which she read, Mary said that Love is greater by far than Faith and Hope. To love God is to love one's fellow man. Marj. East opened the business, with a positive statement: the travelling apron is on its way. Continuing the study of Native Peoples, Evalena Webster high- lighted an article, published in the Feb. 1986 Reader's Digest, on the past and present problems of a band of Inuit who, because of three governments' interference and resulting misunderstandings, were forced to evacuate their tiny island off the north east tip of Quebec. They were exiled to seven settlements around Ungava Bay. In 1984, they filed a claim for more than $56 million from the federal and North West Territory govern- ments for five types of losses ranging from land to cultural losses. Now, in 1986, because of shrinking budgets and expanding native demands, they are still waiting fora settlement of their claims. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1986. PAGE 9.
