Hello to all the folks who are in
the winter blues or blahs. The cold
and snow is having an effect on
outings and visiting and so, to those
who are feeling a little sad, just
know, we are thinking of you and
wishing you well.
Each one of us has our list of folks
we think about or check in on and
just lately it hasn't been going so
well. Mother Nature .has her way
with us once again so don't get-
angry or depressed just use this
January time to catch up on other
stuff in the house.
The snow machines are out in all
their glory, the owners enjoying
each degree of cold and savouring
every little snowflake. The brightest
spot in the village on the weekend
The January meeting of the
Melville Guild was held in the
church parlour on Tuesday, Jan. 20.
A potluck supper was enjoyed by the
eight members present.
Alice Marks and Eluned McNair
were in charge of the devotions. Mrs.
McNair read the call to worship. We
are on the threshold of a New Year.
Hymn 87, 0 God, Our Help in
Ages Past was sung and Mrs. Marks
read a poem, The Month After
Christmas.
The scripture Joshua 1: 1-9 was
read in unison, followed by prayer
read by Mrs. McNair. Mrs. Marks
gave the topic New Year's Day
Customs followed by a poem, Just
for today. Unto the Hills Around Do
I Lift Up was sung.
A Chinese proverb was read by
Mrs. Marks and everyone repeated
the Mizpah Benediction to close this
part of the meeting.
Leona Armstrong presided over
the business. She read, .A Path of
Faith, then thanked everyone for
helping with the New Year's Day
Levee.
Cathrine Campbell read a report
on the Presbyterial meeting held in
Wingham on Jan. 19.
The minutes of the Decemlser
meeting were read and approved.
Jeanne Kirkby read the treasurer's
report.
The roll call was answered with
everyone paying their membership.
The springtime supper will be held
on Sunday, April 25.
Margaret Work and Leona
Armstrong will be in charge of the
February meeting.
was the parking lot where the old
municipal building used to be. Lots
of snow machines of many kinds,
colours and shades used this spot for
a rest. It's a very convenient place to
relax and refuel body, soul and
machine and it gives the village a
front row seat to observe this winter
sport.
The tartans were out on the
weekend as the Scots in our midst
celebrated their hero Robbie Burns.
Dances and parties with pipes and
drums were held to celebrate
January.
Colds and flu are with us still. It's
just part of being together and
sharing air. A recent article in The K-
W Record talked about the problem
of illness on cruise ships, partly
because of the number of
passengers.
Surprise, the solution is still —
WASH-WASH-WASH your hands.
The same routine your mother and
teachers gave you — at least 15
seconds or a slow version of Happy
Birthday or one round of the
alphabet song, but do it.
You know when and how, -now
know it really will help prevent you
from getting sick. It's one of the few
health issues every expert and
regular person agree on. So no
matter where you spend your winter
leisure stay healthy and wash your
hands.
Enjoy the moments of sunshine.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
