reflects
on 100 years
The 100th anniversary of the Chalmers
Women's Missionary Society was held on
Wednesday, June 17 with a noon luncheon
at the Whitechurch Community MemoriaL
Hall. About 30 guests enjoyed a delicious
salad meal following a grace said by Rev.
George Ball. Afterwards a worship service
was held at the Chalmers Presbyterian
Church. Eighty guests were welcomed at
the door by Mrs. Agnes Gaunt and Mrs.
Norma Rintoul. President Mrs. Kathleen
Elliott gave the call to worship and, after
the singing of a hymn, welocmed everyone
with a brief history of the society.
The Chalmers Women's Missionary
Society was originally organized by Mrs.
(Rev.) Leask in March of 1887 with a total
membership of nine under the name the
Women's Foreign Missionary Society. In
November, 1910 Miss Indlis addressed a
meeting to explain home missions and in
March of 1911 a Home Missionary Society
was formed. The two groups amalgamated
in June of 1914 under the preset name of
the Women's Missionary Societ .
Home Helpers was formed in,. 911 and in
1922 the Mission Band was organized. In
1973 gift boxes of Christmas gok'kies were
given to shut-ins and ',homemade candy
was distributed to membrs/of the Sunday
school. One hundred years of meeting
faithfully as a group once a month is still
being carried out with a membership of
nine.
After a look back at the history of the
society, Mrs. Mildred Purdon gave a scrip-
ture reading taken from Hebrews followed
by a meditation by Mrs Elliott entitled 'We
Can't Quit Now'.
Following a lovely duet sang by Mrs..
Kathiee Gibson and Mrs. Jeanette War-
drop, Presbyterial President Mrs.
Margaret Keith brought greetings to the
group from the, Maitland Presbyterial.
Offerings were received by Mrs. Gaunt,
Mrs. Rintoul, Mrs. Louise Laidlaw and
Mrs. Ruperta Milligan while Mrs. Jean
Ross played an organ medley. After the of-
ferings Mrs. Trudie Ball led the group in
prayer.
The guest speaker for the afternoon, in-
troduced by Mrs. Rintoul, was Mrs. John
Bell who spoke on 'The importance of Be-
ing Small'. She said even though the socie-
ty is small in numbers it can still carry on. •
Each one has their own gifts and all can do
something, Mrs. Bell said.
Mrs, Purdon thanked Mrs. Bell for her
inspirational talk and presented a small
gift.
Just before Rev. Ball closed with a
prayer, Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Wardrop
once again joined in a duet. Grace was
sung and everyone returned to the Sunday
School room where an anniversary cake
decorated by Mrs. Purdon was on display.
Cake and ice cream was served while a
social hour was enjoyed by all.

How's the haying going? As this is being
written we are in the middle of some
rather dry weather. It looks like a pretty
good year for putting in dry hay. However,
if you happen to put hay into the barn that
is tough and you find it heating up take
note of the following temperatures:
• 65 C (150 F) check daily - danger zone;
• 70 C (158 F) check every 4 hours;
• 80 C (176 F) fire pockets may now be
expected - call the fire department, wet
down hay - hay has already lost its basic-
mitrient value;
• 85 C (185 F) remove hay immediately -
make sure fire department is on hand;
• 99 C (210 F) Critical. Hay is almost •
sure to ignite.; •
You can measure the temperature if you •
suspect heating in your mow. Use a 10'
length of conduit with 1/4 inch holes drilled
near the end. Fix a point to the end and
shove this into the hay. Then lower a candy
or oven thermometer with a 12 foot cord,
Try this in different locations.
Don't take chances with heating hay. It
is one of the leading causes of barn fires. •
