Sympathy is extended to Nonrid
Harmes on the death of her brother
in British Columbia last month.
Sorry to hear that Grace Easom is
a patient in Goderich hospital and
Stan Giousher is a patient in
Wingham hospital. We hope they
will soon be home.
Greeting at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Feb. 6 were Barb
Richmond and Fred Meier. Ushers
were Rob and Karen Mason and Pat
and Harvey Bernard. Guest musician
was Amanda Schwartzentruber.
The children’s hymn was Lord
Listen to Your Children Praying.
Rev. Eugen Bannerman asked the
children if they had ever seen inside
a steamer. He suggested some of the
treasures stored in these trunks.
The lectionary reading was
Exodus 24: 12-18. The gospel
reading was Matthew 6: 19-21 and
the responsive reading was Psalm 2.
Rev. Bannerman’s message to the
adults was, Why We Keep Personal
Treasures. Men and women keep
very different kinds of objects. Some
people are collectors of many
different things, from family
heirlooms to matchbook covers.
A plant was presented to Betty
Hesselwood for all her work in
putting together the annual report.

but any negotiation of service must
be arranged by the municipality.
Stewart said the township
currently runs a similar program in
Auburn. “Two residents there want
recycling so they are billed once a
year, at a cost of about $41, for the
service.”
A motion, that the service be
offered on a user-pay basis,
carried.
