The treasurer's report for the year 1965 noted that $1,446 had been rais- ed by regular givings, $1,013 by quilters, $288 from Easter and autumn thankofferings, fees $31 and $100 donations. Laura Dicky reported having sent a box of used stamps to the Leprosy Mission. The money from the sale of these stamps helps to defray their organizational expenses. The subject of the Mission study for the year is the native Indians. This subject was used by the leader Cora Miner. Hymn 412, written by Father Brebeuf was sung. The study was presented in the form of a court case in which the In- dians from across Canada presented their grievances. They were por- trayed by Thelma Russell, Leona Brock, Alma Langford and Gertrude Hamilton. Evening unit funding relief Unit Leader, Marion Frayne, welcomed members of Exeter UCW evening unit to the new year meeting on January 6 and read a poem entitl- ed "Be the Best of Whatever You Are". Everyone joined in singing "They'll Know We are Christians By Our Love", a song which expresses the hope of the UCW. It was decided to continue the pro- ject of raising funds for famine relief again this year. Everyone was reminded that the annual meeting of the Huron/Perth Presbyterial will be held at Exeter United Church on January 27, at 9:00 a.m., and the next general meeting of Exeter UCW ill be held on January 20. A very 'timely program s presented by Dolores Shapton's group • by giving thoughts on the year end and the year beginning, the evolution of time keeping and the use of calen- dars to keep us on track. A new hymn, "Thank You Lord For the Time. that is Now" was introduced and sung by the group. Agnes Aunger and Melva Ecker presented a very meaningful skit en- titled "Take Time". Questions on our hopes and wishes for 1986 for each of us, for our UCW, church, community, nation and world were discussed in small groups and ;shared with the whole group. Their grievances included the fact that certain lands were set aside for them but if lumber was needed or oil discovered the revenue was not given to the Indians. The white man killed for skins rather than food and so depleted the deer, buffalo, caribou population- in Newfoundland the Indians were assimilated entirely into the white life, culture and religion- often the In- dians were not compensated for yielding their land rights. An open discussion followed the presentation. During the worship service the leader noted that the pigment in our skins is the only way we are different from the Indians. The story of the Good Samaritan was read to recall again the command to love and serve all peoples. Prayers were read by Alma Langford, Dean Smith and Gertrude Hamilton. A hymn was sung follow- ed by a vocal duet by Rick and Linda Hawley which was much appreciated A delicious lunch of sandwiches, relishes and tea was served. gPIISU`► YES -YOU -CAN WAL.IGOVERINGS 7:60% off su9gested retail price on 1n stock papers Exeter mor Caere 15 Gidley St. E., Exeter 235.1010 Open 6 days a week Super Winter Snle Continues with even further reductions 25% to 75% off all remaining winter merchandise Jewellery 50 % off (except 10K Blouses 30 % off Dresses 30 % off Coats & Jackets 50°A off Co-ordinates 50 % off Nightwear 30 %off ver Gir Pant' hose A knee highs 50 °/ Specialty Ja3hion3 383 Main St., Exeter Also London and Sarnia Sizes 14-44, 1434-24'x4 Renovation SALE Renovation SALE Renovation SALE Renovat' SAL Renovi SALE.
