The Citizen, 1987-05-13, Page 3THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1987. PAGE 3. Bly th Women's Institute learns about children The Blyth Women’s Institute met in the Memorial Hall on May 7. The meeting was led by Family and Consumers Affairs Convenor Mrs. Ida Proctor. Mrs. Jean McGuire of Wingham was the guest speaker. The topic was Family. “As the twig is bent so the tree shall grown” was her opening sentence. Tender loving care is needed in planting and growing a tree. The same care is needed in raising a family. Growing children need special care. Children are a gift from God. Treasure them, teach them and play with them. Children also need discipline, this must be done with love. Giveyourchildapurpose, not just pleasure. If Divorce was not so readily accepted by Society, more Mrs. Proctor gave two readings, couples would work out their “The Auctioneer” and “Two little problems. boys.” People Ella Richmond was the high lady, and Ken McDougall the high man at the weekly Monday night euchre party at Blyth Memorial Hall, May 4.

OOPS! The Citizen’s photographers were out as usual taking photos of many activities in the area this past week. Some of those pictures won’t, unfortunately appear in this paper because of problems with a camera. We apologize to people involved with the UCW garage sale in Blyth and the 4H achievement night at Grey Central School whose pictures did not turn out.
