There were nine members attending. The meeting was opened with the 4-H Pledge. This was followed by making il- lustrations of things the members excel in, what they would like to be doing five years from now, What they would like to do if they only had a year to live, three words they would like said about themselves and what was their greatest achivement. When their illustrations were completed, they read through the meeting and filled in the blanks. This meeting was about mak- ing choices. Daffodils out, A meeting of the Lucknow Cancer Socie- ty was held at the home of the president, Bill Henderson on Tuesday, March 3. This year; during the month of April, in- stead of selling daffodils, the society will be selling serviettes. In the last few years, the daffodils were not really satisfactory because . they weren't as fresh as expected. The tea size serviettes will be sold at Hair Creation's beauty shop. Watch the Sentinel at a later date for the right day. There are still sone cook books for sale.

Analogy of seed used at WMS The South Kinloss WMS held its March meeting at the home of the treasurer, Mrs. Fraser MacKinnon. The directors were Mrs. Olive Needham and Mrs. Vera Schmidt. President; Mrs. Allan MacDougall open- ed the spring-like meeting with a reading from the Glad Tidings. Bringing in the Sheeves was joyously sang followed by a group reading of the WMS Purpose. Mrs. Olive Needham gave the Bible Study on Seed taken from Matthew 13 1-9. Just as plants need nourishment and be nurtured, so do we. Unless you have good substance, you may whither and die. We sow seeds daily of love, kindness, patience and devotion. This capable analogy was followed by two poems read by Mrs. Herb Buckton and Mrs. Lloyd MacDougall. An offertory prayer was given by Mrs. Ted Collyer which followed the offering. The Bible Study was presented on a new Nepal. It's a backward and isolated coun- try but it is no longer as a bird with clipped wings. It is slowly progressing towards a brighter future. It was interesting to note the longevity of its people. Mrs. Vera Schmidt was thanked for a hard job, well done. Various business matters were dealt with and the officers' reports were given. An informative overview of the UCW Bruce Presbyterial Annual Meeting at- tended by Wanda Keith was enjoyably read. Mrs. Eldon Bradley personally add- ed her thoughts on the day. Regaining their strength are two members of the congregation, Mrs. Frank MacKenzie and Mrs. Ted Collyer. The courtesy remarks were read by Mrs. Vera Schmidt and responded to by Mrs. Fraser MacKinnon. Mrs. Olive Needham closed the meeting with a prayer followed by a hymn and sing- ing of Grace. Lucheon and fellowship con- cluded the afternoon. Ripley Bank Situation The Ripley Royal Bank problem, namely moving part of the operation to Kincardine, has been on the back burner for a couple of weeks now. The idea of robbing the small places ,to build up the big centres has gone far enough. Last Friday, March 6 at 10 a.m. there was an overflow meeting in the Huron Township Hall for discussion of the Royal Bank situa- tion. The rush of traffic from the main in- tersection was just like that for a playoff hockey game. Huron township clerk Mrs. Marlene Collings had done a good job of notifying people early that morning. The number there was estimated in ex- cess of two hundred. Glenn Grubb was the chairman of the meeting. The meeting con- tinued into the noonhour before it was over. It made the Owen Sound news and also the C.K.N.X. news. Defeated Drayton Sunday The Ripley Roosters managed a 2 to 1 win Sunday night in Ripley against Drayton. This was the first game in the "D" playoff series Dan MacDonald scored from Mark Stanley and Gary Rutledge to give Ripley a 1 to 0 score in the first period. Larry Ellis scored for Drayton. Ripley's other goal was scored by Brent Armstrong from Kevin Stewart. The Roosters will travel back to Drayton tonight (Wed.) and will meet back in Ripley Friday night.
