Myrtle Vodden elected to head Bly th UCW Thirty-seven Blyth United Church Women came to the manse last Monday, Dec. 14,tohearof their achievements as outlined in the convenors’ and leaders’ re ports and to also enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. Not only were the manses’ rooms as attractive as ever with Christmas decor, but included, this year, were two large orchid plants in bloom, the kind that flourishes 4n the Philippines, the native land of the Ramirez family. Lenora Davidson and June Peck added spiritual meaning, leading the worship service with a Christ mas theme. Rena Watt played for three Christmas hymns. Listening to June and Lenora's readings, one was reminded of the lovely sur prises (call them miracles, if you wish) that can come at Christmas. Even in the presentation of the vear's-end reports. Santa’s spirit, and it can be a comical one, prevailed. Wrapped gifts were given, not to the present Execu tive. who had done well, but to leaders facing next year's challen ges. They were gifts to facilitate their work and to handle emergen cies. Forinstance, should the piano balk. pianistsRuby Philp and Rena Watt, were handed a ukelele and banjo; the new president received a gavel; the treasurer, a bank; the secretary, a two-foot pencil for lengthy meetings; Dorothy Daer, a spool of thread, in case her quilters will run - out of it. Mary Wightman and Evelyn Smith can don fashion able sun goggles when conducting the Sunshine unit meetings. And so it went amid hearty laughter, until every 1988 execu tive member was looked after.

A Shakespeare Flower Plate from the Blyth Pottery was presen ted in deep appreciation for President Susan Howson’s dedica- Make a ’kissing ball' An old-fashioned kissing ball made from Christmas cards makes a lovely family room or hallway conversation piece. To make a unique card kissing ball from Christmas cards, cut 12 cards into three-inch circles. Fold each circle in from four sides to create a square. Glue each folded tion to Blyth U.C.W. work, and her innovative ideas in planning events. In January, Susan begins her new duties in two executive positions in Huron-Perth Presby tery. Mary Wightman, Evelyn Smith and Norma Ramirez had provided dainty refreshments served at the meeting’s close, at which time Mrs. Webster and her assistants went on their merry way, distribut ing 18 poinsettias to shut-ins.
