Blyth UCW
plans day
for women
Do you ever feel you need a day
to yourself - a day to be pampered,
entertained and waited on. Well,
here is your chance to say it is "My
Turn"!
The third annual Women's Day
Out, sponsored by the Blyth United
Church Women, will be held this
year on April 12 in the Blyth
Memorial Hall and Bainton Art
Gallery. All women from the area
arc invited to come for a well
deserved Day Out!
The day begins at 9:15 a.m. with
registration, coffee, juice and
muffins, a chance to visit with your
friends and wander through the
Ladies' Lucky Loonie Sale.
In today's society, women are
often overcome by the demands of
everyday living and begin to have a
negative self image. To help curb
these negative thoughts and expand
on the day's theme of 'Feeling
Good About Yourself', Bonnie
Holliday of CKNX's Voices of Mid
Western Ontario, will begin the
morning presentations featuring a
motivational talk.
Musical entertainment, informa
tive self-help demonstrations
including makeup and colours,
cooking, yoga, toll painting and
line dancing demonstrations will
also take place during the morning
and over the lunch hours.
A delicious smorgasbord
luncheon including many delicious
treats, that are sure to taste even
better because someone else has
prepared them, is included in the
price of the ticket.
In the afternoon there will be a
Fashion Show presented by
Bainton's Old Mill, Dressing Room
Only, The Old Mill (all of Blyth),
Lauretta's Hug and 1/2 of
Wingham, and The Kids Shop of
Lucknow. Fashions this year are for
every size of figure as well as
children.
As well, the Blyth Festival box
office will be open to sell tickets
and share information concerning
the plays for the 1997 Summer
Season.

Day Out are on sale now at the

CDCS serves pancakes
Over 500 people consumed
thousands of pancakes, 350 pounds
of sausages, 60 litres of ice cream,
pitchers and pitchers of ice cream
topping, and they washed it all
down with scores of litres of pop
and innumerable cups of coffee and
tea. The items were prepared and
served by students, staff and many
volunteers at the Clinton and
District Christian School (CDCS).
The event, held on Friday, Feb. 28,
was the annual pancake supper at
CDCS.
Parents, students, staff and
friends stirred batter, flipped
pancakes and fried sausages from 5
- 8 p.m. Afterwards there were
games of skill for prizes in several
of the classrooms. The proceeds of
the supper went to the student fund,
while those of the games went to
kick start the fundraising efforts for
next year’s Grade 7/8 Ottawa trip.
Students are presently practising
at noon and after school for the
Woodstock District Basketball
Tournament to be held in London
on Saturday, March 22. Thanks to
the assistance of several staff and
volunteer coaches and drivers, the
team hopes to make a good
