HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 1997-01-29, Page 15WI struggles with bad weather
Calamity struck again! Because
of inclement weather last week WI
was postponed until Thursday, Jan.
23. Maureen Bean set up centennial
displays in the Hall, but when
members arrived there was no heat.
Finally the WI went io the
Auburn United Church, but
displays had to stay at the Hall.
Some were able to enjoy these
before going to the church but
unfortunately they could not be
talked about in the same manner.
At the church the WI meeting
began with the usual service ending
with God Save The Queen.
President Tina Empey welcomed
all and gave an Optimist reading.
Minutes were then read by the
secretary Evelyn Flett and
approved. Rhonda Bruxer gave the
treasurer’s report. The WI branch is
not particularly wealthy now. It
was decided that due to this, they
would not assist with things that
need to be done at the hall or give
donations to others at this time .
Members were pleased to have
Mildred Lawlor with them again.
She has been ill for several months.
She spoke of the squares and
showed finger puppets. These are
needed for hospitals to bring joy to
children and wipe away their tears.
It was decided to celebrate
Auburn WI’s 75th anniversary in
probably May or June. The
decision is to be made at the next
meeting. A centennial rose, a pink
hybrid, is to be purchased for the
WI to be planted in the village. The
price is $16 and must be ordered
before March 1. Tina Empey will
take orders.
On Feb. 19, 1897 the first WI
meeting was held at Stoney Creek.
All WI’s plan to celebrate on that
day, 100th anniversary. The execu
tive, Tina Empey and Rhonda
Bruxer, will be in charge of the
programme. Marjorie McDougall,
Kay Lapp, Eppie Lawrence and
Jean Plaetzer are to be the lunch
convenors.

Roll call was answered by all
telling of past memories through
the years. Betty Archambault spoke
about her mother Mrs. Bert Craig
being a member 75 years ago.
Gwen Bidwell passed around
Institute pins from England where
she was a member. A picture of the
WI in Aubum was also shown.
Maureen Bean look over the
meeting. She had planned on
speaking about the various articles
that she had on display but the bad
weather rather spoiled that.
However, she spoke about the
many changes in every respect
through the years. Then she gave
readings from a book "Down on the
Farm" which certainly brought
memories to most.
Advertising in WI homes of Bed
and Breakfast was mentioned and
also the former Ag. Rep. Gordon
Bennett.
WI grace was then sung and the
members gathered around tables for
a delicious lunch, served by Laura
Mae Chamney and Erma Cart
wright. Needless to say the lunch
had gone to the Hall and had to be
transferred to the church.
Two contests were held. Betsey
Verwey and Kay Lapp were the
lucky winners. After lunch the
members left for home trusting that
the hall will soon be OK.

Pastor talks of spring
Organ prelude opened the Knox
United service on Jan. 26 at 10 a.m.
with Bemice Gross, organist. Rev.
Ross then led the worship
invitation with the congregation
answering.
Things of importance for the
church work was brought to the
people's notice followed by prayer.
The hymn Saviour, Teach Me Day
by Day was sung, followed by
prayer of confession and assurance
of God's pardon.
The children's chorus was sung
as the children went to the front.
There was a large article in the
story bag - a whale. The children
did a splendid job of telling the
story of Jonah and the Whale to the
minister. The minister continued by
telling them that they too must do
as God tells them. Responsive
prayer was said, then the children
went to their Sunday School
classes. The hymn Stand Up, Stand
Up for Jesus followed.
Rev. Ross then gave the Bible
lessons, narrating from Jonah 3
where Jonah went to the city of
Nineveh and changed through his
teaching. God was pleased. The
New Testament was from I
Corinthians where Paul said that
time is short and things in this
world change. God's work must be
done.
From Mark I, the lessons
continued with Christ seeing the
fishermen Simon and Andrew
fishing in the Sea of Galilee. He
said, "Follow Me", which they
immediately did.
The hymn Jesus Shall Reign was
sung. The minister continued with
his message "Why Wait For
Spring." He spoke about
procrastinating where people put
off until tomorrow what should be
done today. He spoke of neglecting
visiting a friend who was ill,
always going to do it, until finally
it was too late.
Things have changed through the
years; more work is able to be done
in the winter season than it was
years ago, Rev. Ross said. The
gospel of St. Mark is noted for the
use of the word "immediately".
"We too must not spend our time
looking to the future. God's people
must not wait for spring, but do it
now," he said.
Rev. Ross then gave a prayer of
thanks and concern followed by
The Lord's Prayer in unison.
Offering was received and
dedicated. Mine Eyes Have Seen
The Glory was sung. The
Benediction was said and Amens
given to close the service.

group had been asked to take part
in discussions about the writing of
the new bylaw. All reeves present
at a recent meeting in Goderich had
been anxious to get the input of
pork producers to held create fair
regulations, he said.
Doug Richards, pork advisor
with the Clinton office of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, said Huron County is taking
the lead in developing the bylaw to
manage the nutrients spread on the
land from liquid manure storage
tanks. The> bylaw would give farm
ers some protection from com
plaints if they are following the
law, he said. "The public will per
ceive the producers doing some-,
thing to be proactive," Richards
said.
Ron Douglas was presented with
the "producer of the year" award
