Croninfamily greets at Melville Presbyterian Greeting at Melville Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning were Tom and Lynne Cronin with their sons Thomas and Robert. Rev. Cathrine Campbell led the congregation in the call to worship, followed by the hymn, Happy the Home, with accompaniment by organist Crystal McLellan. After the congregational welcoming, members of the Melville choirsang a special anthem entitled. He Cares for You. MARGARET FERNE MCDOWELL Mrs. Margaret Ferne McDowell of Blyth passed away at Wingham and District Hospital on Monday, June 14, 2004. She was in her 83rd year. Mrs. McDowell was born in East Wawanosh Twp. on April 5, 1922 and was the daughter of the late Alva and Della (Braithwaite) McDowell. Mrs. McDowell was a member of the Blyth United Church. She was the beloved wife of Harvey McDowell. Mrs. McDowell was the loving mother of John and Norma McDowell of London, Don and Elizabeth McDowell of Kitchener, David McDowell of Wingham, Judy and John Gibb of Kitchener, Janice and Larry Robinson of RR I, Belgrave, and Carol and John Spadoni of Sault Ste. Marie. She was the cherished grandmother of Craig and Jill McDowell, Ryan. Steven and Andrew Gibb, Brad, Brent and Sherri Robinson. She was the .clear sister and sister-in-law of Murray and June McDowell of Burgessville Psalm 42 was read responsively by Rev. Campbell and the congregation. This was followed by the children's hymn, Sing Them Over Again for Me, and the children of the church gathered at the front for their story with Rev. Campbell. "Do you know the meaning of your name?" asked Rev. Campbell as she thumbed through the book she carried. Then for almost every child she was able to read out a definition or derivation of their name, with and Lloyd McDowell of Stratford. Mrs. McDowell will also be fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Alva and Della McDowell, sisters-in-law Elaine and June McDowell and her niece Heather McDowell. Friends were received at the Falconer Funeral Homes Ltd., Blyth Visitation Centre. 407, Queen St. on Wednesday from 2 - 4 and 7 - 9 p.m. Funeral service was held at the Blyth United Church on Thursday, June 17 at 2 p.m. Interment was in Blyth Union Cemetery. Rev. Cecil Wittich officiated. Flowerbearers were Jill McDowell and Sherri Robinsoh. Pallbearers were Craig McDowell, Ryan Gibb, Steven Gibb, Andrew Gibb, Brent Robinson and Brad Robinson. Memorial donations to Wingham and District Hospital, Blyth United Church or a charity of one's choice would be appreciated. further research promised to the rest. Rev. Campbell told the children that the name of each one of them was special because, "These are your names and you are the ones who are going to bring these names honour". Then referring to the story of Jesus casting out demons and calling them by name, she continued "When you're afraid of something, it helps to name your fears and then you get help._ And if you name them to God, this is prayer". The children then went downstairs to their classrooms. The scripture lesson of 1 Kings 19:1 - 15; Galatians 3: 23 - 29; Luke 8: 26 - 39 was read by Rev. Campbell with assistance from reader Murray Cardiff. This was followed by the hymn, How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds. In the sermon, Being Cared For ..., Rev. Campbell noted that the scripture lessons had been about a great amount of caring both in 1 Kings with the angel bringing food and water to the prophet Elijah as he fled from Jezebel, and in the Gospel of Luke with Jesus casting out demons and healing the man of this affliction. She said all have experienced successes and achievements in life followed by personal problems and feelings of despair. "The good news is that there is hope because we worship a God of justice, hope and caring," said Rev. Campbell, "and we can name our problems and then do something about them". • Then Rev. Campbell referred to the trial of the man who killed the child Holly Jones in Toronto, a man who watched child pornography, then promptly went and carried out these murderous actions on an innocent. "We are called to care about these things," said Rev. Campbell, "We must work to dispel the brutal, the nasty and the cheap in our society and around us. We must begin at home by actions that show our belief that we are all God's creatures and that each person is deserving of respect and reverence." "You can preach until you're blue in the face, but it will not have the impact of one caring act radiating outward and setting the standard in our own personal lives", continued Rev. Campbell, "And there should be no more Holly Jones stories. We must be able to say that this is not right or acceptable, and then to take action." The collection was taken up by Maurice Douma, Jeff Cardiff, Frank Schimanski and Dave McCutcheon. Sunday school superintendent Elaine Armstrong reminded the congregation that next Sunday will be promotion and awards day for the Sunday school children. Each child will receive some recognition. Our congratulations to church members Jeff and Cathy Cardiff who have been chosen as The Citizen's Brussels Citizens of the Year. On Saturday, June 26 at 9:30 a.m., a special congregational fun day event for June has been organized by Dave and Janet McCutcheon at the Cranbrook golfcourse owned by David and Karen Smith.

Obituaries Emergency planning In case of an emergency, key officials including council members, area police, fire fighters and paramedics need to be prepared for the worst. For that reason North Huron held a table-top exercise on June 18 in council chambers.
