Gwen Christie acted as pianist. Our pastor, hateeihesildhan was guest speaker. Slims Christmas theme ably - the values of Christmas, the traditional warmth so meaningful to young families. She enlarged on the find- ings of warmth and joy that eminat- ed from routine Christmas activity. We should encourage these practic- es that they may pass on to future generations. Present day advertising and over done celebrations lose their value in their extravagance and exaggera- tion. If advertisers only knew how little effect their mailings have on the shoppers and what nuisance it costs the householder! Music was provided by Margaret Christie. Ilia read "Christmas Cus- toms". Vella Mahon chaired the business. Gwen Christie was named to arrange for tuning of the piano. The United Church Women will be responsible for the Christ- mas Birthday cake, to be served on Christmas eve. During the year, Le- ona Elliou has mailed cards to the ill and bereaved to a total of $15.00. The organization will remember shut ins at Christmas with cards, and propose to move their visit to the Valentine's season. There will be a meeting January 12 at 12:30 noon with a potluck meal and the programme will be Sing, Say or Play. Staffa WI jgram itt Staffa A bountiful potluck diaster pre- ceeded the Christmas rnefidng of the Staffa Women's lnstitifte, held in the township hall on Tuesday at 12:30. Planners for the event were Vette Mahon and Margaret Kemp. Christ- mas decorations at the door and at the front of the hall along with lighted candles on die table made everything very festive. Joyce Miller presided for the meeting opening with the Institu- tute Ode and Mary Stewart Collect, with Margaret Kemp accompany- ing on the piano. Minutes and cor- respondence was read by secretary Lillian Douglas and Verle', Mahon gave the treasurers report. A letter was read from the Weavering Wornen's Institute in Kent, Eng- land. Staffa and Weavering have corre- sponded for many years and ex- changed calendars and small gifts at Christmas. Unfortunately their letter stated that their Institute ex- pected to disban at the end of the year as they are unable to fill their slate of officers for 1994. A sad sit- uation, but one which is very com- mon here in Ontario as well. Kay Smale and Joyce Miller re- ported on the course in tee-shirt painting held recently in Mitchell. We are hoping they will demon- strate and help others at a future meeting. Freda Kerslake reported on the drapes. We decided to line them, with assistance from a lady in Sea - forth. Roll call was answered by thir- teen members and one visitor, by singing, saying or playing.

To treat, don't rub the skin with snow. Never massage the frost-bitten area. Warm the area by soaking in warm water (about 101 de- grees F or 38 degrees C) for 45 minutes. It is im- portant to restore circulation in the area quickly. Beta -carotene has been hot news recently because of Its purported dis- ease -fighting ability. Did you know that pink grapefruit contains 100 times more betacarotine than white grapefruit? If you have to take some really bad -tasting medication, try eating a bit of ice-cream first. The cold numbs the taste buds and the bad taste Is not as noticeable. We 'h hear that North Americans don't consume enough fibre. Figs are a great source. There are 9 grams of fibre in 5 dried figsl Alcohol is a drug. Be sure the medication you are taking doesn't rein- force the sedative effects of alcohol. We can help you If you are unsure.
