Golden Age group
enjoy spelling bee
Grand Bend Golden Agers
met Wednesday afternoon at
St. John's Parish hall with 28
in attendance. The meeting
opened by singing 0 Canada
and repeating the Lord's
prayer in unison. A sing song
of favourites was enjoyed,
and the group sang happy bir-
thday to several celebrants of
December and January bir-
thdays, with Nola Love ac-
companying at the piano.
President, Irene Ward,
chaired the business meeting.
She reported she had attend-
ed a senior's workshop, held
at McKay hall in Goderich on
November 23. A moment of
silence was observed for Mrs.
Jean Sharen, a deceased
member.
Irene asked the group to be
thinking of doing something
special for Senior Citizen
month in June this year.
Bill Love's group was in
charge of program and he
opened by a reading, "After
Blenheim," from an 1885 third
class reader. Liz Relouw read
a poem, "The more you give-
the more you get." Next we
were entertained by toe tap-
ping violin ducts as Ross and
Bill Love played their fiddles
with Nola chording at the
piano.
An old time spelling bee
with all participating was fun.
Following this Nola Love
demonstrated exercises We
all could do sitting on a chair,
and had us all try them out.
The remainder of the after-
noon was spent playing
games of Uno, euchre,
• crokinole, aggravation and
solo. Lunch refreshments
closed a happy afternoon.

the time they 'arrived for
auistmes festivities at the
Grand Bend home of Tom's
parents Nancy and Art Read
in Grand Bend, roads were
blocked by snow and the
temperature was -20 C.
Suzanne, who was born in
Jamaica, and, who came to
Canada when she was 18'for
secondary and university
education, said it took her a
while to get back to being us-
ed to the West Indies climate.
Tom, who commented that he
had grown quite used to the
trgpical climate after four
months on the Dominican
island, was having second
thoughts about winter near
Lake Huron.
Like a growing number of
Canadians, Tom and Suzanne
have sought educational op-
portunity outside of their own
- country. Both received
degrees in science at the
University of Toronto. Both
graduated with Master of
Education degrees from the
University of Western Ontario
and both wanted to he
doctors.
Because of restrictions and
expense in Canadian medical
schools they looked elsewhere
to work on medical degrees.
They found that a private
university in the Dominican
Republic would accept their
academic credentials and
would offer them a degree in
a little over two years. And
they found that a degree from

commented that it was so

them working at the same
academic discipline.
University courses are
taught in the English

quired for everyday living.

4 St. John's Anglican
The subject of Rev. Sutton's
sermon was from Matthew
3:13 and 17; where in Jesus
comes to Jordan to be baptis-
ed by John. By this baptism,
Jesus took upon Himself our
sins, and began His ministry
of carrying on God's work in
our lives.
At this service, Crystal Jen-
nifer Sharen, was baptised
and welcomed into Christ's
flock. Jennifer is the daughter
of Verna and Bob Sharen.

United Church
Rev. R. Peebles' sermon ti-
tle was "What do you see,
Amos?" The scripture was
read from Revelations 3:1-6
and chapter 3 of Amos. Rev.
Peebles said the gospel of
Amos was written 750 years
before Christ was born.
When God asked Amos
what he saw, he said that na-
tions all around were practis-
ing injustice, sins and
failures. God told Amos to go
and prophesy to Israelian
people.
The children's story was a
discussion on mirrors. A mir-
ror doesn't reveal a real per-
son inside; but, God knows
what we are. He said the Bi-
ble is God's ear; we should
try to please by living as He
wants us to.
The choir sang "Take My
Heart and Let It Be". Com-
munion will be observed on
January 15.

mitted and walked by faith.
Every one of us can be that
kind of person for God. We
too, must acknowledge that

beings.

Dominican Republic is
described as a Police -State
Democracy.
Tom commented that there
was very little evidence of
crime in the Dominican. He
and Suzanne described police
controlled student protests.
The police lay out the ground
rules nd schedule the pro-
tests ang to their means
of control.
The United States influence
in the area is evident. The
Dominican Republic sup-
ported the U.S. invasion -of
Grenada and there is 'a U.S.
military base on the island,
stratigically situated across
the few miles of ocean from
Cuba.
