On Jan. 12 at 8 p.m. the UCW
met at Knox United at 8 p.m. It was
decided to make business short due
to inclement weather.
The evening topic was "Mission
Fields". Margaret Bakker opened
with a reading from Acts. Christ
told the disciples that they must go
into the world and preach. A short
Bible quiz was then played and
enjoyed.
The nominating committee report
was given by Laura Mae Chamney
and accepted. The UCW is still
without a president or vice-
president. Margaret Bakker remains
as contact co-ordinator.
A donation for Queen's Bench
was requested. Moved by Kay
Lapp, a donation of $100 will be
given.
Next week the UCW will be
catering for the Lion's dinner. The
annual UCW meeting will be held
in Brucefield on Feb. 9. If
inclement weather the date will be
Feb. 16. Come and bring a brown
bag lunch.
The Quilting Group has a lovely
quilt underway for Mildred Lawlor.
One will be done for Laura Mae
Chamney next. A quilting bee for
donations to Children and Senior's
Homes will be the February
meeting. This is in charge of Elva
Armstrong and Tina Empey.
Marg Bakker gave a reading
"Trust in the Lord". Offering was
The first 1998 meeting of
Londesboro WI was held on
Monday, January 12 at the home of
Pierrette Frost of Clinton.
Lois welcomed everyone and
read a poem "Promise Yourself".
The sympathy of the community
is extended to Mr. Jerry Phelan and
family on the passing of a mother
and wife Marie Phelan.
Greeters at Londesboro United
Church on Sunday, Jan. 18 were
Elgin and Joy Penfound. Ushers
were Bert and Joanne Lyon.
received by Ruth Armstrong.
The meeting was then given to
the guest speaker Mrs. D. Rogers.
Mrs. Rogers, her husband and their
five daughters are missionaries in
Papua, New Guinea. She had
brought various native articles —
bark bowls, back cradles made
from bark and shell decorations
which are expensive.
Slides were shown of Papua — a
hot, almost jungle-like area. The
tribal food is mainly sago (made
from bark) forest, green vegetables,
fruits and some meat and fish. The
missionaries build homes there and
are also doctors, nurses and
teachers.Malaria and hepatitis are
the main diseases and of course
there are numerous accidents.
They finished creating a landing
field before returning home. The
daughters go to a boarding school
but are home for a visit every eight
weeks.
The language there is tribal-sort
of a pidgin tongue. They have
taught them reading, writing and
have produced a couple of reading
books to assist their students.
Questions were asked and Mrs.
Roger was thanked.
Lunch was served by Tina
Empey, Elva Armstrong and Kay
Lapp. It was unfortunate that due to
other meetings and poor weather
that a number missed an excellent
missionary topic.
The meeting opened with the
Opening Ode and Mary Stewart
Collect.
Reta gave the financial report.
Thank yous were read from
Margaret Anderson and Clare
Vincent.
The first 1998 meeting of
Londesboro Happy Gang Seniors
will be held at 12:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, Jan. 28. Everyone is
welcome.
The Auburn WI met at the Hall at
2 p.m. on Jan. 15. The meeting
opened with singing the WI Ode
and 0 Canada, led by Laura Mae
Chamney. The Mary Stewart
Collect was repeated in unison.
President Tina Empey gave an
amusing reading "The Ear".
Minutes of the last meeting were
read. Treasurer Laura May
Chamney gave her report. There is
$711.79 on hand. Mildred Lawlor
gave the card report and read letters
received.
It was decided that donations be
given to the Hall and to Patty
Cook. It was decided to clean the
kitchen on Jan. 27 beginning at
9:30 a.m.
Laura Mae Chamney spoke about
Apolrod. Members would like to
keep registration and there are
other WIs which wish the same.
They shall continue to fight to save
there.
Jean Plaetzer spoke about bags
that the branch will be responsible
for in the fall. These are gifts given
for lucky chairs at the plowing
match. The articles for these bags
will be $8 - $10 each.
Tina Empey spoke of videos of
the convention that Lois Elliott has
available. These would probably
need to be condensed as they are
approximately two hours long.

After wishing everyone "Happy
New Year", she spoke about WI
membership dwindling. She spoke
about the need to contact and try to
bring others into the WI.
Maureen spoke of the things that
the WI has done through the years.
Pennies for Friendship was started
back in 1939. This has been very
successful and helps others. The
pamphlets that are produced are
used and members enjoy the
magazine Home and Country.
The WI has been responsible for
seat belts, flashing lights on school
buses and signs. It helps in skills,
leadership and crafts.
The group was then divided into
sections to discuss, "How to help
Betty Archambault is recovering
in London having had knee
surgery. She is wished a speedy
recovery.
Mrs. E. Lapp received word Jan.
18 of the death of her brother,
James H. Wood, Montreal. Due to
inclement weather the funeral will
the WI grow again."
Suggestions received were: try
evening meetings, send out
advertising flyers, more crafts, etc.
and be of assistance to the 4-H
groups.
It was decided that perhaps an
evening meeting and a craft on
chair weaving either in a home or
the hall might work. This is to be
investigated and done in February
if possible.
Maureen closed with a guessing
contest won by Gwen Bidwell.
Grace was sung and a delicious
lunch served by Marion Haggitt
and Evelyn Christiansen.
Two draws were held and won
by Laura Mae Chamney and Jean
Plaetzer.
