Are you stumped? Jean Lee was not as she found 10 words and received a prize from Mrs. Earl Rees who conducted the contest at Riverview Women's In- stitute held on March 4 at the Masonic hall.' Name an Ontario grown fruit that is popular with me and I use it, brought forth a variety of answers from the 18 members. This leads us to the topic "that which comes in a fuzzy, fuzzy brown wrapper" (ugly yet popular). New Zealand kiwifruit tastes great any way you slice it, Mrs. Evelyn McNaughton told the interested group as well as the two visitors. Under the fuzzy brown wrapper is a brilliant green center speckled with tiny edi- ble seeds that's bursting with suc- culent taste and great nutrition. A ready to eat kiwi is slightly soft to the touch. To ripeh firm fruit, place in a bag with an apple or a banana. Did you know that an average 5 ounce serving (about 2 kiwifruit) of kiwifruit has more potassium than an 6 -inch banana or an 7 ounce orange? It contains 230 percent of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance for Vitamin C and also contains crude fibre- more than an ounce of bran flakes, and only 90 skinny calories, and, of course, no sodium, fat or cholestrol. After tasting the delicious sample carefully prepared by the Agriculture and 'Canadian Industries committee, Mrs. Ruby McLean, Mrs. Greeta George, and Mrs. Rees, the group will be heading to the local store to buy the exquisite fruit. . To complete the program, Ruby. i read the scripture after which Evelyn read a poem, "Drop'a pebble in the water". President, Mrs. Lorna Priestley opened the meeting with the members repeating the Mary Stewart Collect and the singing of the Insitute Ode. The bus committee plan an outing in July. May 22 th District Annual will be held in Lucan while the District Rally is scheduled for July 15 at Ailsa Craig local park. A good response of old pictures have been turned in and are most welcome. Modern day pictures are needed too. All conveners are asked to prepare their reports for the An- nual Meeting on April 8 when a lawyer will be a guest speaker. As one entered the Masonic hall, one could guess it was the month of March with a pretty green Shamrock on the president's table as well as a number of paper Shamrocks on the lunch tables plus a touch of green on the serviettes. Mrs. Bill Sutherland and commit- tee treated the group to a dainty dish of fruit cocktail topped with green kiwifruit along with a slice of white cake and piping hot tea. Personals Seven tables of euchre were in play at the Happy Gang seniors at the Legion hall on March 5. Winners were Sybil Stephenson, Janet Rose, Margaret Carter, Martha Rees, Myr- tle Maguire, and Helen Smith. Gordon Sutherland, who has been hospitalized, has returned to his home. As president Ervin Gingerich of the Craigwiel Activity Center and his wife are holidaying in the sunny south, John Macdonald, first vice, warmly welcomed many seniors who came to see three well-chosen films, "The flower show," "New Zealand" and "Corner of the World". Due to a foggy night, the social con- vener, Evelyn McNaughton was not present. Mrs. Lyle Stokes, led a live- ly sing -song of Irish numbers as well as some old favourites. Following this, tea and cookies were served by Margaret Wilson and helpers. Won't you join the Centre commit- tee for games night on March 25 at 7:30 p.m.?

T -A photo • - r Times -Advocate, March 26, 1986 Page 7 Paim Sunday at Thames Road H MRS. WILLIAM ROHM Palm or Passion Sunday Church Service was conducted by Rev. Robert Matheson. The Responsive Reading was from Psalm 22. The minister told the children a story "One Day In The Life Of Jesus." Each child was presented with a palm leaf cross from the minister who gave one to each person in the audience. The choir rendered an anthem "I Believe In A Hill Called Mount Calvary" accompanied by the pianist Miss Agnes Bray. The Scripture was read from Deuteronomy 32:36-39, I Timothy 1:12-17, Luke 23:1-49. The sermon was entitled "Day of Palms - Day of Darkness". The passage in Luke 23:1-49 speaks of the many steps taken by Jesus toward the cross. We, in a way, are the ones who try Jesus in this passage and yet we are also the ones Jesus protects! Paul, in his letter to Timothy (I Timothy 1:12-17), represents us. Paul sees himself as the epitome of sinners and yet through the cross God and Jesus tell us ours lives are wor- thwhile and despite all our shortcom- ings God is still willing to allow Christ to die for our sake! Don't forget the Good Friday Wor- ship and Celebration of the Lord's Supper Service on Friday, March 28 at 8 p.m. in Elimville Church. Easter Sunday March 30, the Sun- day School and Church Service will commence at 11:15 a.m. upstairs, weather permitting. Personals Rev.
