MP's secretary sends challenge FROM BLYTH From Marilyn's Desk Congratulations to Jim and Irma Mason on their 50th wedding anniversary Jan. 19. Winner of the Jan. 19 draw of the 125th cash calendar was Audrey Walsh, Clinton. Seniors are meeting Jan. 23 at 12 p.m. Come along and bring your favourite dish for a potluck dinner and enjoy an afternoon of friendship. Greeting at the Blyth United Church on Jan. 20 was Faye Bolger and ushering were Nicole Kerr and family. Rev. Dr. Eugen Bannerman conducted the service. Guest musi- cian was Lynda McGregor. Rev. Bannerman told a true story to the children of a man who had been diagnosed with cancer. W hen the operation was over and he was told they had got it allhe felt he had been lifted up. His story to the adults was The Story of Footprints. There are many versions of this poem. One is by Margaret F. Powers. He told the story of how Margaret had written the poem one night while at a Bible camp. He related the story that when there are two sets of footprints in the sand that God is always with us and when the going gets rough there is only one set of prints and that is when God picks us up and carries us and it is his footprints that we see in the sand. Quote for the day: If you're feeling lonely, burdened with regret, sad because of sorrow which you can't forget, don't sit idly draining all life's cheerless cup, call to see a neighbour and try to cheer them up. THE EDITOR, I am sure that you have noticed how Paul Steckle has congratulated Blyth many times, for various rea- sons: Blyth Festival Theatre on Tuesday, May 30, 2000; Communities in Bloom, Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2001 and of course, the Blyth The United Church manse in Blyth was the setting for a wedding cere- mony Jan. 19, 1952, when Rev. Charles J. Scott united in marriage the former Irma Bean of Colborne Twp. and James Mason of Blyth. The bride, a daughter of Dave and Violet Bean, was attended by Florence (Wilson) Wightman, while the groom, a son of Walter and Ethel Mason, was attended by Gordon Mason. The newlyweds honeym000ned in Leamington and Harrow. Jim Mason was employed during his life first as a farmer, then driving truck for George Radford. He also worked for a time for Ed Watson. The couple who resided in Belgrave and Colborne Twp. homes before moving to Blyth have retired, Jim in 1994 and lima in 1995 from Huronview. They raised eight children, two hockey teams that have captured the WOAA championship over the years. Now while Paul is representing us in Ottawa, various events occur back here in the Huron-Bruce riding that he has to be informed about, and in turn, he will deal with it accordingly. This is part of our duties in having girls and six boys. Today their fami- ly has grown to include several grandchildren and great-grandchil- dren. They enjoy helping others, and being active With the local seniors' group, the UCW and Blyth United Church. Their golden anniversary was a special time, the couple said. In addi- tion to many cards, phone calls, gifts and flowers, they were taken out for a "lovely" brunch this past Sunday at the Benmiller Inn. "Thanks to all;" they said. the honour to be involved on Paul's executive committee ... keeping him informed about what is happening in our areas. In turn, he gives credit where cred- it is due and speaks highly of it. For example, in the minutes of the House of Commofis, Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2001 he shares the wonderful news that Blyth has captured the National title for: Communities in Bloom, as men- tioned earlier. As you know in these troubled times that we are facing, money is tight. Unfortunately, in turn, govern- ment grants are limited. People now have to go through things with a "fine-toothed comb" as far as decid- ing where their money will go. I would like to take this time to donate a cheque for $100 to Blyth's 125th birthday and challenge other businesses/people to match, after all, people make the difference. It definitely is a privilege to be executive secretary for Paul Steckle. I will ensure that recognition/con- gratulations will be given to Blyth again! In turn, hopefully our 125th birth- day celebration will be a huge suc- cess. Thank you for your time. Kathy Bromley, Secretary.
