PAGE 3 helping others to tell about Jesus. Psalm 139, "0 Lord, Thou hast searched me" was preceded by the New Testament Lesson 1 Corinthians 15: 1-11 and the Gospel Lesson Luke 5: 1-11. Rev. Huntley's sermon was entitled, "Fish or no Fish". He explained in his sermon that 'fish or no fish' is an expression the natives use in Newfoundland. For example, 'fish or no fish' we're getting married in the fall. "Hope" he said, "is different from wishing. It is faith in the future despite what happens." He talked about Helen Rudolph, born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. She was born pre- maturely, developed scarlet fever, then polio. She started to try and walk without her braces, without telling her family or physician. She ended up running at age 16 and won a gold medal in' the olympics, then later three gold in track and Councillor Kerr was also con- cerned with a proposal to hold Continued on page 19 Size of committee concerns council Blyth United Church service Feb. 5 was the fifth Sunday after Epiphany with the seasonal colour green. Ushers were Doug Howson, Lois van Vliet, Bill Howson and Mildred Ament. Phyllis Boak, director of music was organist and Erica Clark was pianist. Looking after the nursery was Janice Peters and Lorie Falconer was in charge of junior congregation. Rev. Stephen Huntley opened with Call to Worship, Prayer of Approach and words of welcome. The opening hymn, The King of Love My Shepherd Is was preceded by Litany of Affirmation. For the children's time, the minister had a lobster trap from Newfoundland. He described how the trap works. He compared fishing to stories from the Bible, about Jesus meeting his disciples, fishing in the Sea of Galilee and Blyth village council will ask area municipalities to reconsider the size of the Blyth and District Community Centre Board in order to save money. Councillor Gerald Kerr raised the issue saying he felt there are more people sitting around the table than are needed to make the necessary decisions. He made a motion to send a letter to other municipalities who arc members of the Communi- ty Centre Board to see if they would be interested in changing the representation. Currently there arc 12 members on the board with dif- ferent representation according to the number of people from the municipality using the facility. Councillor Kerr wondered if there would be fewer representatives with multiple votes. "They might be interested in sav- ing money," he said of the other municipalities. Meanwhile Blyth will leave two of its positions on the board, usually filled by ratepay- ers, vacant until more feedback is received from the other municipali- ties. Council considers change to recycling Blyth village councillors are con- sidering having recycling materials picked up every other week as a measure to save money, councillors told the public at Monday night's council meeting. The issue arose during the public question period when George Ives asked councillors the reason for the change to Wednesday pick-up from Friday. Councillors said Bluewater Recycling (BRA) had asked for the change for greater efficiency. Councillor Doug Scrimgeour then mentioned the idea for collecting the material only every two weeks and asked for the advice of those present if this would work. It costs about $4,000 a year for recycling pick-up, he said. No one objected to the possibility but John Elliott suggested that curb-side pick-up might eventually prove too expensive. Perhaps, he said, council could look at drop-off recycling depots. In a letter to council, David Wil- son, manager of marketing and administration for BRA said the change of pick-up day helped orga- nize the routes more efficiently, minimizes wear and tear on vehi- cles and cut costs. The result has been to eliminate the need for one driver and make capital savings of over $100.000.
