The Tuesday night Cadets are see- ing a good turnout and have had to meet downstairs because of the floor being worked on. They were helpful in setting up the tables for the Lathes Auxiliary for Wednesday for the beef producers meeting. Around 100 pro- ducers enjoyed a roast beef ,dinner served by the Auxiliary ladies and their extra helpers. Many hands make lighter work and the auxiliary appreciates everyone's help. The Beavers meet on Wednesday evening and have great fun playing indoors and out, Outside fun recent- ly included spraying their names in bright colours in the snow. We have Yippee Yahoo! were the words heard at the Sholdice and Fischer homes when Cathy, Randy and crew Guild meets The January meeting of the Melville Guild was held in the church parlour on Tuesday, Jan. 15 with 10 members present. The ladies enjoyed a potluck dinner. Marg Work and Cathrine Campbell were in charge of the devotions. The meeting was opened with Rev. Campbell leading in prayer. The Lord is My Shepherd was sung. The scripture, Luke 12: 22-31 was read in unison. Mrs. Work gave a reading, New Year's Wishes, fol- lowed by a responsive reading of Psalm 8. The topic was taken from- the new WMS study book, A World of Water. Rev. Campbell read a story, The World's Waters, followed by a quiz. She then read Various Things that have Happened to Water in our Lifetime and Some tips on Saving Water. The correspondence. included a thank you note from the family of the late Vi Howes. There was also a letter from Rev. Campbell asking the Guild to do the luncheon March 27 for the Holy Week Service. The church annual meeting will be on Jan. 27 with a beef and turkey stew lunch following. Proceeds will go to the boiler fund. It was decided that the spring sup- per be on April 21. Dona Knight and Alice Marks volunteered to plan this event. Rev. Campbell invited everyone to the WMS meeting in Wingham on Jan. 28. Mary Huether invited the ladies to her home for the February meeting with herself and Jeanne Ireland in charge. had lots of snowfall so their handi- - work is all covered up but maybe a small thaw will reveal their talents later on. Hot chocolate was enjoyed by all inside. Friday niglat's supper of chicken and rice was enjoyed by all and this week will be meatloaf. Seeing as it's Robbie Burns Day as well, I have been fortunate to have had Comrade Grace Proctor obtain a Haggis recipe through efforts of her niece. She is going to prepare the Haggis and din- ers will be able to enjoy a taste along with their meatloaf. Thanks to everyone who came up with recipes for Haggis. I,now pos- sess six different ones so will be pre- pared for the next time a Haggis is from Charlottetown, P.E.I. came to visit. To make this time even better their highland dance teacher, origi- nally from Burlington, entered danc- ing Lacey in a competition in Oshawa. Grandma Liz is still smil- ing as she tells of the several wins that were Lacey's reward for all her practice time. It's not decided yet who was the happiest — the parents, the teacher also in Ontario for the holidays or Donna, Roy, Ken or Liz. Good job Lacey! It's nice to see all the snow machines getting a good run making decent use of all this white stuff we have to share. I think the only ones not pleased are the extra busy gas guys at JR's. needed. Scottish music will be on for enter- tainment and the wearing of the plaid would be encouraged. Maybe a prize or two will be found for those who dress the best. Saturday afternoon euchre saw 12 tables at play. The lucky winners were Tom and Eileen Sloan with 78 points. The pairs of Shirley Hackett and Kay McCormick, and Carman and Ila Pollock were tied for second place with 73 points. The lucky lone hand winner for the ladies was new- comer Yvonne Dougherty and for the men Ed Stewart. The next euchre will be Feb. 2 Groundhog Day and groundhog cos- tumes will be encouraged. As you read this,--there will be only Joan Jacobs is sad this week as she mourns the death of her mom. Betty Castator was a spunky little woman who spent her life trying to keep her husband, her daughter and son in a line of acceptable behaviour. When this didn't work out she went to her flower garden and as you would expect if you knew these folks she had the best English garden I have ever seen. She also loved to share her peren- nials and so she's thought of often in the gardens of many who call her friend. To show you her love of nature — she could pet bumble bees and her pond fish would come to her to be touched (no food involved). Yes, she was a neat lady who has left many, eight days left to pay your dues for 2002. After Ian. 31 you will not be a member in good standing. There 'are only about 20 unpaid members left so let's try and make it by deadline. Payment is. accepted by mail and does not.have to be in per- son. Congratulations to our member- ship Chairman John Harrison for achieving over 80 per cent early bird paid membership.
