Another good week was enjoyed at
the Brussels Legion Branch. .
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

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.

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

were Tom and Eileen Sloan with 78
points. The pairs of Shirley Hackett
and Kay McCormick, and Carman

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
