The leader for the devotions was Mrs. Stewart Steiss who focused on the theme of "Remembrance". Several verses of O God Our Help in Ages Past, were sung. Scripture was chosen from Proverbs 29: 1- 14. In Canada Nov. 11 is Remembrance Day. People remember the great sacrifices made by Canadian forces in three wars, World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The poppy which grows wild in the fields of Flander in France, and decorates the grave of the Canadian soldiers buried there is sold here in Canada to remind all of the tragedy of war. The poem In Flander's Field is recited at many memorials on Nov. 11. These verses were penned by Lieut. Col. John McCrae, who was a member of the first Canadian contingent, and who died in battle in France on Jan. 18, 1918, after four years of service on the western front. Following this, Mrs. Steiss read an offering called "Life's Storms". Battles were fought and won by people like Job and St. Paul from the Bible. They were conquerors. Mrs. Steiss then offered prayers, followed by singing Jesus, Lover of my Soul. President Brenda Perrie asked for the reading of the minutes, treasurer's report and the roll call. There were nine visits and one card reported sent to shut-ins. Mrs. Leslie Knight suggested members take $15 from the birthday money and donate it to the WMS allocation. Everyone agreed. Mrs. Stevenson gave the topic from the Glad Tidings of Mrs. Rosemary Doran's trip to China. She noted especially the poor conditions of women labourers who worked in damp and cold conditions but seemed not to lack energy and enthusiasm. Plans were finalized for the supper for the Presbytery to be served in the church on Nov. 26. Mrs. Stevenson announced a Presbyterial executive meeting in Mitchell on Nov. 28 to begin planning for the meeting of the Hamilton-London Synodical to be held in Knox Church, Stratford next summer.

By Julie Terpstra On Thursday, Nov. 6 the Cranbrook Cookie Monster Club met for the third meeting called "Let them eat cake". Stacey Bowles started the meeting with the 4-H pledge, then continued with the roll call. The meeting was based around different kinds of cakes and the basics in baking these cakes. The club was split into three groups and each group got a chance to bake a cake. They made butter cake with butter cream frosting, angel food cake and spice cake with fruit filling. While everything was baking, Amy Cronin explained the three types of classifications of cake: butter cakes, sponge or egg foam cakes and chiffon cakes. When the cakes were ready, everybody was given the Brussels army cadet achieves high rank opportunity to test them. Members were asked to make a cake for the next meeting. The meeting was closed with the 4-H motto. The fourth meeting was on Nov. 13, at Amy Cronin's house. The meeting was called "Easy as Pie" and everyone came to the meeting with the equipment and ingredients to make apple pie. While half of the club worked on their books with Amy, Julie Terpstra took the other group into the kitchen to make the pies. The crusts look the longest to prepare but at the end, everyone's looked great. By the end of the meeting, there were 18 unbaked apple pies ready to go home and into the oven.
