Doreen Hackwell greeted wor-
shippers at Duff's United church
Jan. 22. Before the service started
Brandy Banks and Shannon Gib-
bons reported about their experi-
ences at TOC ALPHA. They both
agreed that it was a good experi-
ence. Brandy will attend another
event sponsored by Concerns

studied the bible more than we do
now. With that in mind he had each
child take a bible verse out of his
hat and they were to read it with a
parent next week.
His sermon was called 'An Age-
less Bestseller'. A former Moder-
ator, Wilbur Howard used to call
the Bible the book we 'Trust and
Dust'.
In Deuteronomy, Moses charges
the people to 'keep these words that
I am commanding today in your
heart.' Recite them to your children
and talk about them when you are
at home and when you're away.'
By the age of 13, a child was
expected to be ready to become a
full-fledged son or daughter of the
covenant. Rare would be the case
where a Jewish child was not
instructed and nurtured in the faith.
By contrast, rare is the case today
Ek
(ARCTIC CAT'
where our children are nurtured and
instructed in the Christian faith. The
most distressing aspect of this
reality is our tendency to blame
school and society for this defi-
ciency rather than admit to our own
negligence and irresponsibility. Rev.
Banks encourages us all to pick up
a modem version of the. Bible (such
as the NRSV) and begin reading
and 'listening today.'
After the service a pot -luck lunch
took place and following the meal
the Annual meeting was held. Just
before the meeting got underway a
quilt was displayed for all to see. It
was made in 1899 and presented to
Rev. David Frost who was minister
of Duff's Presbyterian Church
(across from there Duff's United
Church is now) when he left.
Names from church members or
from the community (know one
knows for sure) were embroidered
on the quilt. The very large, quilt
had been passed down to his grand-
daughter who lives in Stratford and
she donated it to Duff's United.

TOURING TIPS #2: PERSONAL COMFORT AND SAFETY •
(c 1994 by Craig Nicholson All rights reserved )
Ibast week I discussed touring preparations,
ut most often, snowmobiling happens
loser to home. Although you should
(ways pack emergency, survival and repair
kits, it's unlikely that you'll want to daytrip with full
touring gear.
Still, the unexpected can occur anytime. Even
simple discomforts become a real nuisance over
several hours far from home. So I carry a personal
kit everywhere. This way, if I get separated from
my sled - if it goes through the ice, catches fire,
breaks down or if I have to walk out - I'm
prepared. I fill numerous pockets, but 1 also have a
black web belt with small pouches and a
handlebar bag/personal carryall. Here's what I
bring.
Survival/Emergency: I always have two high
energy food bars. They're available at most
camping or sports stores. I carry a pocket
compass and a spare glove liners for repair work.
Attached to my jacket zipper is a Fox 40 Whistle
which also doubles as a zipper tab. My pant zipper
sports a small penlight for night map reading or
repairs and a ring with spare keys for sled, car,
home and sled locks.
My belt stores personal survival kit basics: Swiss
Army knife, waterproof matches and fire starter,
pouches of beef Bovril, aluminized blanket,
bandages with sterile pads and a length of strong
twine. Last season I started wearing a set of
IcEscape rescue ice picks around my neck.
Personal Comfort: Used frequently are items for
my personal comfort. Your choices may vary
according to your habits and health, but far from
home and stores, there's nothing more
aggravating than lack of some simple remedy
usually taken for granted.
For example, I always bring a spare set of
prescription glasses. Since bright, reflected
sunlight can strain eyes, mine are UV treated
sunglasses. But both pair are essential
because vision needs change with light
conditions. To combat fogging, I pack tissues
and a sample size container of no -fog spray.
A day in the dry wind or burning sun can be
hard on facial skin, so I carry a sample size tube
rr
of Vaseline and an anti -chapping stick for my lips.
There's nothing worse than suffering a headache
or muscle pain all day, so a pocket pack of pain
pills comes in handy. So does a roll of anti -acid
tablets for that big lunch that won't settle.
I have a absorbent hand towel attached to my bib
strap. It hangs down my chest inside my jacket
and has been a life-saver for seat and visor drying
or for wiping dirty/greasey hands before putting
good mitts back on.
. Temperature and condition fluctuations mean
dressing flexibly. By either warming or venting my
face and neck, I help maintain a comfortable riding
balance. So my carryall holds balaclava and neck
warmer that pulls up over the face like a bandit
mask if I require extra protection or if my visor gets
damaged or lost. There's also a socket wrench for
quick plug changing and an instant hand warmer
pack. The bag unsnaps easily from the handle
bars and comes inside with me at pitstops.
Personal Info and ID: I have a separate wallet for
winter. It always stays in my snowmobile suit. It
has sled insurance and registration papers,
medical info, emergency phone numbers,
personal ID and my permit pink slip. Also, my
OFSC MasterCard which I use for snowmobiling
to keep track of expenses.
There's also money - for miscellaneous items and
$300 for emergencies. Unless I'm on extended
tour, I leave my regular wallet with all its valuable
contents and credit cards at home where it won't
get lost. This way, I only have to remember to
transfer my driver's licence back and forth. Beats
forgetting my whole wallet at home or cottage.
With a little forethought, you can put your own
personal pack together before the season and
never have to worry about it again - just make a
habit of wearing your belt and taking your carryall
on every ride. Until next time, happy trails and
remember: Sled Smart - Ride Safe, Ride Sober.
