THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1991. 8 elgraveThe news from Compiled by Helen Stonehouse Phone 887-9487 Women’s Work study of UCW The Afternoon Unit of the U.C.W. was held October 7 with an attendance of 11 and Mrs. Mary Hunter in charge. She opened the meeting with the hymn “We have come into his house.” Mrs. Helen Martin was in charge of the worship period, the theme being “Thanksgiving and Afflu­ ence”. Mrs. Ada Taylor read Psalm 103: 1-18 and Mrs. Jean Pattison read Luke 12: 13-21 followed with the hymn “Come Ye Thankful Peo­ ple Come”. In meditation it was said material goods are a Gift of God to be accepted. Man does not live by bread alone, yet we are told to give thanks for “daily bread”. Material possessions were never intended to be the primary objec­ tive in life. Our Thanksgiving cele­ brations, whatever they be, are a reminder that the richness of life consists of appreciating what we have been given rather than in what we gather. All we possess has been given in trust and is to be shared. The hymn “We Gather Together” and prayer was said. For Bible Study, Mrs. Janisa Coultes read Matt. 6: 19-21.

How dif­ ficult it is to keep one's eyes on this goal in this very materialistic world. Mrs. Margaret Taylor had the study “Women's Work” from the special edition of the Mandate. She began by reading a poem “Remem­ ber Her” citing the many things a woman does in a day. A man will toil from sun to sun but a woman's work is never done. This old saying is so familiar we don't think twice about it. It describes much of the oppression women experience. Domestic tasks require skill and experience to complete efficiently yet they don't count if she decides to go back to the paid labour force. Women find they are restricted in their employment choices and in the pay they can earn. When both parents are working full-time and a crisis arises it is the mother who is usually called and she has to tend the child's needs and the wages lost by her absence will have less impact on the family's income. The singing of the hymn “God Be With You” concluded the meet­ ing. in Belgrave. The members said the 4H Pledge and answered the roll call naming a Canadian-made cheese. Then members went into the kitchen and made an old-fash­ ioned pudding. They also made cheese cakes with strawberry sauce on it. They then finished the meet­ ing with the 4H motto.
