Myth merchants hold Wai k-a-bout, Blyth Buck Christmas draws Two different Christmas mer­ chants promotion begin this week among the merchants of Blyth when the Blyth Christmas Walk-A-Bout begins Sunday and the Blyth Bucks shopping promotion begins. Groups donate to Blyth Scout committee The 1st Blyth Group Committee held its montly meeting on Thurs­ day, Nov. 3 at Blyth Public School. Leaders were reminded of the Landmarks Challenge Program to ‘‘Add One More”, meaning that each section should try to “Add One More” leader, boy or activity each year. Treasurer, Pat Bernard, reported that the bank balance as of Nov. 1 was $753.43. Leaders submitted bills for uniforms and training registrations. President of the Blyth Legion Branch 420, John Battye, was introduced. He presented the group with a donation of $1,500. On behalf of the Group Committee, chair­ person Trish Thomson thanked the Legion for their generous donation. The Group Committee presented a cheque for $1,000 to the Legion for the Beavers’ rental of the Legion Hall for their meetings. Bruce Mansz, Huron District President, was introduced. Mr. Mansz is also the service member for the Blyth Group Committee and he was able to clarify several points during the evening. He reminded everyone of the special meeting at the Lucan ScoutHall, Nov. 11, with a speaker from Senegal, Africa, ex­ plaining the use of funds from Huron District Trees for Canada for projects in that country. Beavers have made their ‘Beaver Bags’ and had a Halloween Party. Cubs participated in Apple Day, Oct. 29. A total of $244.90 was received through the generous donations of the people from Blyth, Londesboro and Auburn areas and four bushels of apples were used. Scouts also participated in Apple Day. Five Scouts and leader Rainer Saur attended the Woodsman Camp at Parkhill, Oct. 14-16. The six inches of snow that greeted them did not cool their enthusiasm however. In other business, a fire extingui­ sher is still needed for Cub camps, grocery tapes are still being collect­ ed and inventory of equipment needs to be done to determine what Minister speaks on light purchases are required. John Battye is looking after getting Legion crests for the boys’ scarves. Sufficient Lions crests are on hand. Phone committees will be used to inform parents of Group Committee meet­ ings. New fundraising ideas were dis­ cussed. All present were reminded of the District meeting on Dec. 7 in Exeter. 1st Blyth’s next Group Committee meeting will be Thursday, Dec. 1, 7 p.m. at Blyth School. Many of those at the meeting stayed afterwards to roll the coin proceeds from Apple Day. The Christmas Walk-A-Bout has become a tradition on the last Sunday of November as many Blyth shops and restaurants cater to Christmas shoppers. The Blyth Festival Singers will be presenting their annual Christmas Concert at 3 p.m. The concert, this year called “An International Christmas” will be repeated at 8 p.m. Guest choirs will be the Mitchell Children’s Choir and the Knox Handbell Choir. Santa Claus will also be on hand, touring the streets to say hello to kids and their parents taking advantage of this special occasion to shop. Shoppers at participating stores and at other stores as well, will be able to get a chance to win Blyth Bucks with their purchases. With each purchase shoppers in the stores participating in the Blyth Bucks promotion will receive an entry for a draw for Blyth bucks.

Lorenzo Ramirez spoke on the subject “Salt of the Earth, Light of World” on Sunday, Nov. 20 in Blyth United Church - basing his thoughts on Matt. 5: 13-16. He said just as salt can give greater zest to our food, our faith in Christ can give us much greater zest for living. Salt is also used as a preservative - and faith can preserve our lives. “We don’t appreciate the impor- anceoflightaslongaswehave it” he said. “It is very important that we share the light we have with others. ’ ’ In his conversation with the children Rev. Ramirez talked about the use of salt and light. Faye Bolger was their leader and Debbie Pierce was in the nursery. “Songs for Gospel People” were presented by Aima Madill in memory of her husband Ray Madill. These were dedicated by Rev. Ramirez. He announced that begin­ ning next Sunday there would be a service of song led by Margaret Kai and Cheryl Cronin beginning next Sunday the first Sunday of Advent. The choir sang “Peace like a Prince” Ushers were Catherine. Gordon and Joan CadlwelJ and Myrtle Badley. 2/.79 PRONTO WHITE OR ALMOND PAPER TOWELS 892 ROLL MR. TEDDY POPPED CORN 300 G.
