Lee from Huronlea FROM BRUSSELS WI hosts Walton ladies The Majestic Women's Institute held its meeting at Huronlea on June 13 with 17 members and nine guests from Walton WI present. The president, Lucy Hesse, wel- comed everyone and had a short quiz. Following the Ode and Mary Stewart Collect, the secretary and treasurer reports for April and May Were read by Doris McCall. The sec- retary and her assistant were attend- ing the ACWW Conference in Hamilton. The treasurer's report was read by Mrs. McCall also in the absence of Edna McLellan. Mrs. Hesse presented Helen Topham with a WI pin and Jane Devries with a 40-year membership pin. Yvonne Knight introduced the guest speaker, Dwayne Evans. Dwayne showed pictures of his month's stay in Korea. Korea is divided into north and south. The north has been controlled by Russia and the south by the United States. No one on either side is allowed to cross the border. A farm is about five acres. People born on a farm usually stay on the farm, he said. Rice is the main crop grown there. Ginseng is also grown. A large circle in the middle of the area is a burial ground. Everyone is cremated. Ninety per cent of the people in the north part are Buddahs. They have strong work ethics. . Kathy Bridge thanked Mr. Evans and presented him with a gift. Roll call was answered by naming a person from another country you wouLd like to meet and why. Alice Brothers gave an interesting reading. Delegates for the area convention on October 25 and 25 at Maryhill are Mrs. Hesse and alternate Leona Armstrong. Mrs. Hesse invited the members and friends to her home on July 17 at noon for a picnic. Happy Birthday was sung to Yvonne Knight, Jessie Engel and Edna McLellan. Lunch was served by Kathy Bridge, Ruth Bauer and Edna McLellan. By Lee Chesterfield Remember December? We thought the snow would never stop and here it is, June, 30' tempera- tures: a smog alert for everywhere_ So enjoy it; wear a hat and sun- glasses. Pick strawberries and think .of that oh sc yummy strawberry shortcake. Then rest a bit before you have a dip in the pool. What is so rare as a day in June? Next winter we can think of June. At Huronlea we had a busy, happy weekend. June 14 the Nashville Rejects came to entertain, then the next day was the strawberry festival. Saturday, June 16 was Jessie Engel's 105th birthday. Besides_ having reached that very advanced age, Jessie is still alert. She plays bingo every Friday, reads her daily news- paper and comments on the news. Last year I wrote "We would all Get your paintbrush out and get to 5Rs on Saturday morning. They need all the painters they can get. Join the fun at the paint party. Mark June 28 as the gift of life day. We'll expect you (17 - 71 years) at the BMG arena for the blood donor clinic. You can improve four peo- ples' lives with an hour of your time and the gift of your blood. Be nice, be charitable and be a hero. See you on the evening of June 28. Kang Yoon is leaving the country on July 3 and won't be open for busi- ness again until July 30 at 1 p.m. He is heading for Kazakstan, part of cem, tral Asia just below Russia, on mis- sionary work on behalf of his Korean Presbyterian Church. Kang has wanted to do this sort of work for several years, but was not able to get a replacement pharmacist. He now realizes this will not happen due to the short supply of pharma- cists and so he apologizes for any inconvenience, but he feels a need to go. He has taken training since March on language, spirtuality and gospel preaching to name a few. This is in preparation for his flight to Amsterdam, followed by a 24-hour train ride with a 30-member team getting him to Aralsk, a small city where poverty is the norm. They are expected to bring their own food as well as a good suply of flashlights as electricity is not always available. Muslim is the majority religion love to be 104 if we had facilities as sharp as Jessie's. But how many Jessie Engels are there? So a very happy 105th from all of us here at Huronlea. On June 16, family and friends gathered at Huronlea to celebrate Jessie (Alcock) Engel's 105th birth- day. Jessie was born in Grey Twp. and lived in the home where she was born for 100 years until moving to Huronlea. Jessie married Archie Engel in Aug. 1938 and they enjoyed their life together until Archie's death in 1966. Jessie enjoys keeping up with the current affairs of the community, country and world. She attributes her long life to hard work and a strong faith. Happy Birthday, Jessie. and Christianity is news. Bev Brown returned from a good visit with Charlotte Allan in Montreal. Cirque du Soleil was the highlight of the visit, but the build- ings, the food and the people made it well worth leaving her cat for a few days. Even when good cat keepers are scarce. Sunday was baptism and confir- mation at Brussels United Church, by Joan Golden, Diaconal Student Minister. Baptized were Curtis James Eldon White and Kane Richard White. Confirmed were Sarah Ann Little, Michael Thomas Watson Bernard, Nicole Marie Lowe, Tyler James Leverne Jutzi, Tate David Stephenson, Michelle Amanda Smith, Laurin Marion Hoegy and Isabel Francis White.
