Varna, Goshen and Bayfield U.C.W.'s hosted the event. The theme was on "Celebrating Us", the Celebration Panel included speakers, Marilyn Elgie, The Little Years; Bev and Jenny Robinson, The Teen Years; Jeannie Udall, the Middle Years; and Alma Langford the Upper Years. These speakers spoke on their experience and anec- dotes happening in those years. Julie Kalbfleisch and exchange student Kristy Anna Cosack from Lippstaddt, Germany spoke at the Varna U.C.W. meeting last week. Sixteen -year-old Cosack is attend- ing Goderich High School, which is really quite different than Germa- ny. They don't choose their own subjects and they have 11-15 sub- jects per semester. School is strictly school, and all other activities and clubs are within the community. School hours are from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Part time jobs for students are not important or even expected of you, parents provide. Driver's li- cense age is 18 years and is quite expensive to pay for. While in Germany, Kalbfleisch was impressed with the number of historical cathedrals, castles and churches with all their attractive ar- chitecture and detailed marble. Cosack lives on a farm near Lipp- staddt where the population is 67,000 which means Varna and even Goderich look pretty small. She has been to Niagara Falls and would love to go back. She likes nature and the beaches, as beaches are few in Germany. She is staying at Kalbfleisch's in Varna and will return home in July. Carol Simons opened the busi- ness part of the meeting, Keep sav- ing those Campbell Soup Labels for the deaf in Peurto Rico. It is really amazing the amount of arti- cles they buy with these. A generous donation was given to the Vacation Bible School. June 10 is Camp Menesetung Day starting at 9:30 a.m., the theme being on "A Woman and Her World". The church Pork Barbecue is June 19 so get your tickets and mark your calendar. Ten young people confirmed in the Varna Church by Rev. George Phillips were: Raymond Beierling, Brian and Paul Hill, David Rath - well, Krista McAsh, Shelli, Cheryl and Susanne Stephenson, Mark and MaryEllen Webster. Charles Reid, Head of the Session presented each one to Rev. Phillips for Confirma- tion. Charles then presented each one with a Bible. Those being confirmed in Gosh- en Church were Joanne Hayter, Ja- son Hayter and Leslie Linfield. Flowers placed in the Varna Church were in memory of Andy Evans. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Evan's family. Wayne and Joan Beierling hosted a family gathering to celebrate Ray- mond's confirmation.

By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - Several chi dren made their First Holy Com- munion at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church this past weekend. Congratulations to Holly Lovie, Beverly Merkley and Aaron Smith. Congratulations also go to An- drew Smith, Elyshia Denomme, Stephen Oud and Terri -Lynn Lu- ther, who were confirmed Thursday at St. Boniface Church in Zurich. The new executive of the Catho- lic Women's League were installed during the 11 a.m. Mass on Sun- day. Father Beck was celebrant as- sisted by Deacon Sam Dixon. The Mass honored Our Lady of Good Council, Patroness of the CWL, and CWL members served as read -1 er, cantor, eucharistic ministers and ushers. During communion, the choir sang "Ave Maria" and'Rober- ta Walker performed a solo "On This Day, 0 Beautiful Mother". The homily was given by Deacon Dixon, taken from the scripture readings "You must love your neighbour as yourself'. As an ex- ample of loving neighbours he spoke of the WWII example of the ! Danish people who protected and hid their Jewish neighbours from the Nazis. Only 20 Jews out of 5200 were ever captured, and some Danes lost their lives in protecting them and helping them to escape. "Greater love hath no man, than to lay down his life for his friend". Memberships for CWL were col- lected after all the weekend Mass- es. CWL president Cathy Vrohyk and Grads Vlemmix attended the Diocesan Convention in Windsor on April 30 to May 1. The next CWL meeting will be on Tuesday, May 14 at 8 p.m. in the Alhambra Hall. • ALL TILLEY LEATHER NEW IN PAPERBACK JUST RELEASED ON THURS.
