Peacemakers attend UCW
Blyth UCW met Nov. 10 in the
church parlour with 17 members
present. Marie Toll opened the
meeting with an introduction to
Cheryl Cronin and four of the
"Peacemakers on Patrol" from the
Blyth Public School. The peace
makers were Ashley Howson,
Michelle McNichol, Karen
Schroecker and Angie Walden.

Ground" with the killing ground
being school playgrounds and the
violence there. Cheryl said that last
June, training began for 24 students
at the local school. These students
have weekly meetings and to
qualify must be patient, under
standing, tolerant and good
listeners, they in turn help settle
disputes at recess time from the
kindergarten to the Grade 4 level.
At present there are approxi
mately 29 members involved. The
Optimist Club sponsors this group
in many ways (i.e., uniforms,
financial support, etc.).
Cheryl read a story telling the
wolfs version of The Three Little
Pigs, reminding that every story has
two and sometimes three sides.
The four peacemakers performed
a skit showing how they work at
the school.
Cheryl, the children and Marie
were thanked for a very enjoyable
and informative presentation.
