Times-Advocate, 1984-02-01, Page 8Area ladies. named to executive of Huron -Perth UCW Presbyterial
The 17th annual meeting of
Huron -Perth Presbyterial
United Church Women was
held in St. John's U.C. Strat-
ford, January 23, opening
with a sing -song led by Mrs.
Doris Miller, Stratford and
Mrs. Marilyn Kreuter,
Rostock.
Welcome remarks and
greetings by president Grace
Pym who spoke of our faith as
a gift from God. It is not a
material that can be seen,
heard, smelled, tasted or
touched, but is as real as
anything that can be perceiv-
ed with these senses. It adds
surety to the expectation of
hope. Living our Faith is of
vital importance.
Mrs. Jeanette Dyer, presi-
dent of St. John's UCW
welcomed the 245 persons.
President of London Con-
ference UCW Mrs. Agnes
King of Hickson spoke of the
living faith of women through
the years, reaching out to
others.
She also commented on
many major projects sup-
ported by UCW - Mission and
Service Fund, Seeds for
Ziarre, Medical Electives
Program, Human Rights Fish
Pins sold to help support
women and families in Korea.
She also raised the question -
Is it necessary to be a
member of the church to
belong to UCW? Greater com-
mitments should be made to
our church and not on fringe
and outside benefit. We want
to avoid being labelled as"
social clubs.
Printed booklets recording
all the activities of the past
year throughout the
Presbyterial were available
to everyone.
Reports were given in an in-
teresting presentation 'Keys
to Living Our Faith!' which
involved all in attendance.
Stewardship and Finance
Chairperson Helen Anderson
stated that in giving to others
we tell of God's love. All of life
is stewardship. 'Multiply the
Gift' was a recommended
book to be used in programs.
Donna Tuffnall suggested
for Christian Development
that we use our study book
and also to be open minded in
Bible Study. Don't stop at
physical needs but think of
spiritual growth too.
Remember in prayer those
who are in need.
Pornographic literature
was the issue that Church in
Society chairperson Lois
Elliott spoke strongly against.
A resolution received from
London Conference strongly
recommended writing to
politicians, checking out
stores and voicing complaints
to police about video tapes.
Hilda Grant stressed
Leadership Development as a
help to living our faith. Let
people to be themselves to
respond humbly and then in
groups. Try to seek out others
and help them to launch out.
We must become involved
and bear Christ's name.
Canadians have much to be
thankful for. How do we look
at third world countries? In
Cuba which is a communist
country many people die of
starvation, thirty million died
since 1945. These thoughts
were shared by Lois McGill,
chairperson for World
Outreach.
Edith Schneider Com-
munication Co-ordinator said
we should not keep good
things to ourselves. Pass the
sunshine on to someone else.
Speak a cheerful word, smile,
call people by name, be
friendly, walk a mile in so-
meone elses shoes. Don't try
to run a one man -show in our-
UCW's.
Archives chairperson Alma
Langford asked that we not be
neglectful in preserving the
records of our past. Scrap-
books and photo albums are
the methods being used.
Afternoon worship was con-
ducted by UCW members of
the North Huron Region. In
keeping with the meeting
It seems
to me...
by Gwyn Whilsmifh
Pretty forward
Did you know there are
some towns and villages of
Huron County that are
already in the. year 2021? It's
true...well, partly anyway.
Some people think we're
backward and living in the
sticks but that's not true. In
fact, I'd say we're pretty for-
ward to have reach 2021;
which just happens to be a
year social planners use for
their studies.
The reason for this ad-
vancement is the size of our
senior population; it's already
arrived where the rest of the
country will be forty years
from now.
At the moment, about 10
percent of Canada's popula-
tion is in the ageing bracket,
but when the post war baby
boom people reach retire-
ment, it will double to 20 per-
cent. However, some of our
villages and towns are
already there and beyond.
Twenty-five percent of the
citizens in Brussels and
Bayfield are over 65, right
now.
The main reason is that we
have no cities in our county
and many young people are
forced to leave this beautiful
agricultural area to find work
in urban centres. However, as
soon as they reach retirement
age, back many of them come
to swell the senior population,
even more.
Needless to say, we have
become the happy hunting
ground for psychologists and
social planners, who scurry
around with Iengthy. uestion-
naires and tape recorders,
trying to decipher how it is
with a population so heavy on
the elderly side.
Well, we don't need them to
tell us things are in pretty
good shape, , including our
seniors who are surprisingly
healthy and guarding their in-
dependence. And busy? Well,
just try to catch one. If
they're not bussing off to
shopping sprees, they're
cross-country skiing, bird
watching, gardening,
quilting, playing bridge and
golf or 100 and one other
things.
Most of them scarcely have
time to he lonely...except for
those who -have recently lost
their mates. But even then,
they're spunky. Says one lit-
tle widow, philosphically,
"When that big change comes
into your life, you just have to
dig down into your inner
resources for strength."
That's the thing...seniors
seem to have such deep wells
of strength. One gutsy elder-
ly lady, confined to a
wheelchair, told me recently
that loneliness never crosses
her mind despite the fact she
rarely leaves- the house. She
wheels up to her sewing
machine to turn out beautiful
makeup bags which are sold
for her favorite charity.
Take Mr. C, who's 90 and
springs around his small
apartment like a boy, looking
after his invalid wife. "I'm
just as happy now as I ever
was," he grins, "It's just a
matter of accepting the
changes and looking for the
bright side."
Only about 6 percent of
seniors end up in nursing
homes. They all want to re-
main in their own houses as
long as they can. Mrs. G, 86,
states emphatically, "It's im-
portant for us elderly to run
our own show in our own
homes as long as we can. It
forces us to use our mentali-
ty and guards our
independence."
The elderly have few axes
to grind. They've lived long
enough to reflect and get
things into perspective.
They're past fretting about
small things. They know
what's important....love of
family, loyal friends and a
clear conscience. It's good to
have them around. They have
wisdom to be gleaned.
So, if Huron County is any
example, it seems to me
things will be running along
quite smoothly, and perhaps
a bit more sanely in the year
2021, when there will be more
seniors around to guide us.
COLLECTORS PLATES
theme, prayer was offered for
us to strengthen our faith,
face it, live it with hope, love
and courage.

token of appreciation for her
time of service. She spoke
briefly encouraging all to

Success is in the journey you

sion. Success is growth.
"Work together" she said,

brief remarks stating that
with God's help she hoped to
be the' president we would
