Visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Anderson and attending the Baptismal Service at Knox United Church, Belgrave on Sun­ day morning were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Anderson of Goderich whose son Daniel James was baptized by Rev. Peter D. Tucker. Other visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Jean of London, Mr. and Mrs. Doug Cousins of Woodstock, Mr. and Mrs. Rick Ball, Matthew and Alicia of Hanover, Rob Roy and daughter Christina of Peter­ borough. Sunday, October 29, was select­ ed in Knox United Church, Bel­ grave, to administer the Sacrament of Baptism to Daniel James, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Anderson, Goderich and Mark Andrew, son of Mr. and Mrs. John McCracken, Belgrave. Rev. Peter D. Tucker, conducted the service. Following the presentation of the parents, Gordon Bosman, Clerk of Session, read a statement declaring acceptance, by the congregation, of the babies into the church member­ ship. The congregation stood to signify its approval. At this point, all the smaller children were invited, by the minister to approach the front as witnesses to the baptism. Certifi­ cates of baptism were presented to the parents after the Sacramental Service. Scripture passages from Acts 16: 11-14 and Mark 10: 1-16 formed the basis of Rev. Tucker’s message, “Why should we baptize child­ ren?” He stated that Jesus was concerned with religious adults, so the disciples stood between Jesus and little children. Children were to be,seen and not heard. “Go, there is no room for children” was their rebuke. Many adults use excuses today to deny children the right to come to Jesus. By our attitudes we hinder their coming. In baptism we recall our redemptive love. In openness, and acceptance lies “Life with God”. A child or an adult is helpless to earn God’s love. He chooses to forgive. In baptism God declares His grace to us. Hymns, relative to the Sacra­ ment of Baptism were sung. The choir chose “Good Shepherd, take this little child into your loving hands” as its anthem. Mrs. George Procter provided organ accompani­ ment for the singing. Offertory stewards were Heather McIntosh and Ross Higgins. Colourful chrysanthemum blooms beautified the sanctuary and vesti­ bule for the service. Area women attend conference Belgrave 4H club hears facts about alcohol and drugs The fifth meeting of the Belgrave Safety Energizers was held on October 25 at Mrs. Ruth Gordon’s home. Members opened the meeting by repeating the 4H pledge. Lisa Alexander read the minutes of the last meeting. Six members answer­ ed the roll call Beverley Elston introduced Con­ stable Jim Dore, the guest speaker. Constable Dore said that the major­ ity of vehicle accidents in this area are alcohol-related. If the police detect alcohol, they give the driver an alert test. The police officer must read the breath sample demand for road screen test to the driver. If the driver fails the test, he then accompanies the officer back to police station for further testing. He also told members many misconceptions about drink­ ing: i.e., black coffee does not help to get rid of alcohol in the system. Constable Dore showed pictures of marijuana that was grown in the area. He also had a real sample. He showed us two types of weigh scales that dealers use when selling drugs. He pointed out the many side effects from the use of drugs. Another interesting point that Con­ stable Dore made was the fact that when parents go away on vacation they can sign a form at the police station giving the police permission to check the house for unwanted people partying. Margie Gordon thanked Con­ stable Dore for his informative talk. The meeting closed by repeating the 4H motto. “The doctor is the only one to give drug use, any other is known as drug abuse. So stay away from drugs and just say “No”, and everyone will be happy and on the go-” Joanne King and Marie McIn­ tosh, District Managers in the Brussels Area for World Book Incorporated, attended the com­ pany’s 41st annual International Achievement Conference (I.A.C.) from October 11 - 15 in Chicago along with nearly_ 2,800 other World Book sales people.
