Phone 887-9487 Wl makes donations The October meeting of the Belgrave Women’s Institute was well attended last Tuesday evening, October 25. The meeting opened with the ‘‘Opening Ode”, and the ‘‘Mary Stewart Collect”. Mrs. Norman Coultes introduced the guest speak­ er, Mrs. Sandra Shantz, Co-ordina­ tor of Social Services at the Winghamand District Hospital. She gave a very informative talk on stress - indicating the difference between “good” stress and dis­ tress. Each person did a test to determine their own stress level and alsotosee how much of an impact stress has been having on them physically. It is extremely important to have a good attitude to keep oneself on an even keel. Mrs. Ross Higgins thanked Mrs. Shantz and the meeting was then chaired by the president Mrs. James Hunter. Minutes were read and approved. Roll call was answered by mention­ ing ‘‘something that really bugs one”. The members of the Institute decided to donate $50 to the Day Care for the Homebound a nd also $50 to the Survival Through Friend­ ship House of Huron County. The Evening Unit of the Belgrave U.C. W. is to be asked to cater to the annual Christmas dinner on Decem­ ber 13. Please watch for further an­ nouncements concerning the next W.I. meeting.

Friends and neighbours of this community extend sincere sym­ pathy to Mrs. Laura Johnston and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Yuill in the Homemakers praised Continued from page 6 cut shorter. There are lots of people whom are well able to do a job but it is so much easier to sit back and just let the government look after them. There is also another alternative: anybody who has homemakers coming in should have some fee to pay to help to keep the homemaker:, going. 1 am just saying something - maybe a couple of dollars an hour, so that maybe then the helpers could get a decent wage so that we can keep them going so that they would stay and not look for another job. It was also suggested that the homemakers shouldn’t get attached to their clients. Don’t take that away from them. This is what makes them so important. Because that is the biggest thing you can do for your patients because most of them are old and lonely, and the girls make it that they feel that they are still human beings. Otherwise you are creating the atmosphere of the homes again where there is not the love, onlyaplaceto die. I don’t mean every home is like this but it is never like their own place where people really care. And if something should happen to our mother Hillie, I hope I can be of some service for Town and Country Homemakers. This is what we think of our Town and Country Homemakers.

Surprise party held Margaret Taylor was taken by surprise Saturday evening when relatives gathered at the home of Ruth and Bob Gordon to honour Margaret on the occasion of her birthday. She was breathless upon seeing her ‘ ‘family” waiting to greet her. A luncheon was enjoyed by everyone which included a beauti­ fully decorated birthday cake. Everyone joined in singing ‘‘Happy Birthday” to the guest of honour and since George Robinson’s birthday is November 2 and Darins Mail’s was October 28 these people were remembered as well. The birthday celebrants received lovely gifts. Margaret and George thanked everyone and expressed their appreciation to everyone for their thoughtfulness. The evening was spent reminiscing, visiting and playing cards. A joint congregational service of Knox and Calvin-Brick churches was held in Knox United Church, Belgrave, October 30, to pay special tribute to Lewis Stonehouse, who for 25 years (Jan. 1963 - 1988) has very efficiently served the Belgrave Pastoral Charge in the capacity of Treasurer - a position Lewis contin­ ues to fulfill. Rev. John G. Roberts conducted the service. Scripture readings were from 1 Cor. Chapter9: 1 and Chapter 16: 1. Thelargechoirofmixedvoices sang * * the Lord isMyLight” with Mrs. George Procter organ accom­ panist. Offering stewards were Carol Hopper and Dianne Black. The minister stated that the early first churches were not run by persons like St. Paul; everyone was involved. At least 100 names were entered in Paul’s letters; all involved in the Church work. Two writings give indication of the manner in which things were done. Firstly, everyone was involved with his particular talent. All talent was welcome. Secondly, money was involved. Contributions were always needed for the Church’s cause. 11 tables at Belgrave euchre Eleven tables were in play at the weekly euchre which was held in the W.I. Hall, Belgrave, Wednesday, October 26. Winnerswere: highlady, Mrs. Olive Bolt; second high lady, Mrs. JackTaylor; novelty, Mrs. Lawrence Taylor; low lady, Mrs. Lewis Stonehouse; high man, Jack Taylor; second high man, Mrs. Jim Coultes (playing as a man); novelty, Mrs. Lome Jamieson (playing as a man); low man, Mrs. Leslie Vincent, (playing as a man). There will be euchre again Wednesday, November 2 starting at 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome. There was continuous expense for couriers, missionaries and workers. All were supported by the people’s contributions. Real strength depends on the willingness of persons. Without willingness the church would be finished. Willingness is at the heart. Rev. Roberts requested Lewis Stonehouse to approach the pulpit and the congregation stood to acknowledge its support. A short su mmary of the conditions suYrounding the need for an interim treasurer in late 1962, when Mrs. John Anderson, Belgrave Pastoral Charge treasurer, was hospitalized, were related. Lewis Stonehouse accepted the office in January 1963. At that date, involvement was not as great as at pre sent, when leading Church matters and government involvement set high requirements. The Minister said ‘‘Lewis is never daunted by the many constant demands. His books are a pattern for anyone to follow. In gratitude, for 25 years as treasurer of the Belgrave Pastoral Charge,.allow me topresent this plaque to honour this occasion. ’ ’ The words of engraving were read iind the presentation followed. Lewis fittingly thanked the mini­ ster, Rev. JohnG. Roberts; Mrs. Roy Dawson, treasurer of Calvin-Brick and the auditors George Procter and Lome Campbell for all their assis­ tance during the past years. The service concluded with the singing of “Dearl Lord and Father of Mankind” and the Benediction. Refreshments and a social period followed in the schoolroom. 170 McConnell st.
