Huron East WI holds service
Huron East District Women’s
Institute held the Associated
Country Women of the World
Church Service in St. Stephen's
Anglican Church, Fordwich on
Sunday, May 2. Rev. Brad Beale
welcomed all of the district to the
church, and also assisted with the
service.
Marion Feldskov of Fordwich
introduced the guest speaker,
Phillis Ireland of Teeswater. Mrs.
Ireland an RPN recently travelled
to Guatemala with a group of
doctors, dentists, optometrists, and
construction workers affiliated with
Missionary Ventures Canada. The
group travelled from Guatemala

they were involved in building a
school. They also held a clinic
where the native people could
come for treatment.
Mrs. Ireland showed slides
depicting the countryside and the
people's way of life. When the
group left for home they left
everything for the people there
except the clothes on their back.
Joan McKinney of Bluevale
thanked the speaker and expressed
the appreciation of the District.
Special music by the Huron East
Choir, under the direction of Aleida
Murray of Clifford, and
accompanied by organist Judith
Ann Douglas of Fordwich added to
the service.
Ball numbers
con’t decline
Continued from page 1
Pensen said numbers are down
from 87 teams last year.
Because the scheduling meeting
is set for mid-week, Pensen said
she is yet unsure exactly how many
teams will be involved.
"We have been seeing a decline
for a few years," she said. "We
used to have over 100 teams.”
Citing activities such as golf and
summer hockey, Pensen said there
are just more choices now.
"The winter hockey season is
also lasting longer and some par
ents just want a break."
She sees few signs of improve
ment in the future even though
there are a few teams at the Pee-
Wee and Bantam level. There are
not many in Mile or Squirt.
Jean Clarkson of Fordwich spoke
about the Associated Country
Women of the World ACWW.
Mrs. Clarkson said their aims are to
work together for the relief of
poverty, and sickness, the
protection and preservation of
health, and to promote and
encourage the education of women
and their families all over the world
through community development
projects and training.
ACWW represents its members
and promotes their concerns at the
United Nations where it has
consultative status. It provides
members with first-hand
information about the UN and its
specialized agencies. There is also
co-operation between ACWW and
the UN on certain projects.
Mrs. Clarkson announced the
world conference will be held in
Hamilton in the year 2001.
The offering was received in
support of the ACWW.
