`Hunk' of fun
Robert Hunking of RR 1, Auburn inspired a little laughter at
the annual Huron County Junior Farmers' Annual Banquet
in Holmesville Saturday with his crazy antics. Instead of
giving a report, he revealed what Junior Farmers do
through mini-skits. Here, the globe is a symbol of
international delegates who've visited the county while the
broomball stick reveals the sporting side of the club.

answered by each member giving a
parable. Prayer followed.
Members were divided into two
groups. First a secret message of a

Bible Trivia.
There was a video on United
Church, "Caring and Calling". Two
ladies who work in London
hospitals told of their work. They
visit the patients and give them all
assistance possible. The pastor there
will visit them. They will also
contact their own church ministers
and the patients' families. They told
about a child who was a patient for
some time and the staff became very
fond of him. The staff minister held
a memorial service in e chapel after
he passed away. Needless to say the
child's family will never forget this
kindness.

who were U.C.W. sponsored
visitors in Canada. They write
members here and tell of their
improvements. They are making
money selling eggs (which are very
expensive there) and are caring for
gardens and selling extra produce.
Their hope is to make enough to
purchase cows for milk. This is
Mission helping others.
