Silver Tops enjoy meal at M. Seers'
- Sample -
The Silver Tops were guests at
Maxine Seers' home on Nov. 28 at
12:30 p.m. for roast beef with all the
trimmings.
After dinner Daryl Ball told about
and showed pictures of his trip with
two others to India. We learned a
great deal about the wealth and the
poverty among the people. We saw
pictures of the beautiful mosques and
Moslem tombs with magnificent fili-
gree work. A great deal of work was
done on marble. We also saw that
though it was good agricultural land,
the work is done mainly by hand and
children are workers when they are
far too young. People do not reach the
elderly age that we do; the average
age of death is late 40s.
They live in what we would call
shacks, and work for practically noth-
ing.
Hindu is the official language of
India but English is used and the
signs are in English. Cows are sacred.
Income in India is very small.
Daryl had an elephant ride but said
that for him once was enough!
Daryl brought home some articles
from India and said that the prices
were quite reasonable. He showed
some lovely marble tiles and a beau-
tiful rug. Where he bought the rug
there was a room of them which were
on display. He found it a very worth-
while trip and would not mind going
there again, he said. It was extra nice
because he was with two friends and
travelled with another small group.
Rev. Paul Ross then treated the
group to a story of a year of depres-
sion at Christmas time. Folks were
down in the dumps but one good-
'.natured chap thought of something
that could be done to make folks hap-
pier. His actions drew the whole
neighbourhood into being involved in
enjoying things.
This cheerful chap was St. Francis
of Assisi.

A short business session followed.
No definite plan was made for a
future meeting. It was decided to see
what the weatherman had in store.
We also would welcome new mem-
bers at any time. Our numbers are
diminishing and we need new blood.
A quilt made for John Raithby was
shown. Ila Cunningham also showed
one that she has made for an elderly
lady.
The Bible study group met at
Marie Bergsma's home on Nov. 27
Rev. Paul Ross played his portable
piano and a number of hymns were
enjoyed.
Bible study was from Mark 16 on
the crucifixion and the resurrection
of Jesus. Christ died on the cross in
a shorter time than is usual in that
kind of death. His body was taken
from the cross and after Sunday two
women came to the tomb to anoint
e•
We had a special little lady with us
for the afternoon — little redhead dar-
ling Jean-ette Plaetzer came with
Grandma Ila and as usual was as good
as gold.
During the meal there was a birth-
day contest and Eileen McClinchey
and Kay Lapp were the lucky win-
ners. Ethel Ball is also to be thanked
for the bookmarks that she made and
gave to everyone.
his body with special spices as was
the custom. When they got to the
tomb they found that the large stone
had been rolled away.
On entering the tomb they found a
young man sitting there in white
attire and they were frightened. The
man told them He was not there, that
He had risen. Christ's mother Mary
and Mary Magdalene were fright-
ened and amazed. They left quickly
and told no one.
