THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1993. PAGE 9.
An East Wawanosh couple cele-
brated a special milestone this past
Saturday.
Emerson and Phyllis Rodger of
Conc. 5, East Wawanosh were the
guests of honour at an Open House
in Auburn Community Hall where
family and friends came to congrat-
ulate them on 60 years of marriage.
The Rodgers were united in mar-
riage on Dec. 15 by Rev. Mortimer
at the residence of the brides par-
ents, Robert and Mary (McClinton)
Taylor on Conc. 2, East
Wawanosh. The groom was the
son of William and Elizabeth
(Snell) Rodger, also of East
Wawanosh.
Following their marriage Mr.
Two sisters, Dianne Baan and
Marilyn Campbell sang a duet
"Great is Thy Faithfulness" in the
morning service on Nov. 7 at
Auburn Missionary Church.
Pastor Carne's message was
"Hazards of Heresy" with scripture
from Acts 4:1-22. "What do you
know for sure?" he asked. Many
shoot down Christianity but they
have nothing to take its place. The
Sadducees had a bias. They did not
believe in the resurrection of the
dead. Peter and John had living
proof of Christ's resurrection. A
person can have a genuine doubt
but it comes to a place when it is
stubbornness and the Sadducces
Brian and Rita Potter met with
East Wawanosh council Nov. 2 to
discuss the possibility of the town-
ship assuming ownership of the
right of way on their property at
Part Lot 35, Conc. 9.
Council agreed.
Building permits were issued to
Ian Scott, Lot 37, Conc. 5, barn
addition and James Charles, Part
Lot 42, Conc. 14, storage building.
The council agreed to purchase
the new Huron Information Direc-
tory at a cost of $22. It will be kept
in the clerk's office for use by the
ratepayers.
Council accepted the zoning
amendment for the temporary use
Rodger was employed as a farmer
and electrician. His wife was a
housewife and music supervisor in
the area elementary schools. She
retired in 1978. Together they
raised four sons, Bill, Keith, Gary
and Clare and a daughter Betty
(Helesic).
They are members of the Auburn
United Church.
Mrs. Rodger enjoys knitting and
music. She sings with the MacKay
Choristers and is a member of the
UCW. Mr. Rodger still likes to do a
bit of farm work.
Other highlights for the Rodgers
have been some special trips to
China, the British Isles, Alaska and
across Canada.
were stubborn. The apostles too
were stubborn but they had living
proof of their beliefs. Pastor Came
said the Sadducees were bypassing
the fact of the power of a risen
Christ but the rest of the people
were praising God. He said the
skeptics will be left behind when
those who have accepted Christ
will behold Him. Are you ready to
see Christ face to face?
Pastor and Mrs. Came have
returned from visiting relatives and
friends in California, Nevada and
Texas. They enjoyed the lovely
warm weather but said they're glad
to be home.
of a mobile home on the Part Lot
36, Conc. 4 property of Agnes and

cial government has purchased the
Canadian Pacific Ltd. right of way
at the north edge of Blyth.
A letter was received from Statis-
tics Canada announcing that the
National Census will take place
until early Dec.
In Ontario 5,300 households will

The third 4-H meeting was held
at Helen Lapp's home on
Wednesday, October 6.
The mystery object for the
Seamless Sewers was a darning
needle and a larger needle used for
sewing burlap bags. Members then
played a game that involved
matching sewing machine parts
with their meaning. The remainder
of the meeting they worked on their
garments. The meeting closed with
the 4-H pledge.
The Seamless Sewers once again
gathered to do some sewing. The
mystery object was a tracing wheel.
Mrs. Lapp demonstrated how to
use it to make darts. Members
sewed their projects and discussed
their achievement.
They will be getting together
with another group and travelling
to a nursing home, where they will
model their projects and sing
Christmas carols.
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! On
Thursday, Oct. 28 the Seamless
Sewers learned how to hem. This
was a different task, but all samples
turned out well. They also learned
how to sew a hook and an eye.
After they worked on their
outfits. Most will be ready to sew
on their buttons and make button
holes for next week.
