The afternoon unit had" the devotion period, with Mrs. Walter Forbes, Mrs. Austin Matheson, Mrs,Lee McConnell and Mrs. Ernest Brown taking part and Mrs. Murray Forbes providing the music. Minutes of the last Executive meeting were read by Mrs. Lawrence Lewis, and Mrs. George Turner read the correspondence and reported sending a birthday gift to their Foster Child. Mrs. Wilfred Parker read the treasurer's report, followed try the annual reports. 1976 proved to be another busy year with many social events catered to and a very successful Bazaar Festival. The group of quilters reported 22 quilts finished and they already have two quilts in the frames, a good start for the new year. Mrs. James Mairs read the 1977 slate of officers. The only change was that of the president. Before retiring, Mrs. George, Wright thanked ;the members for their help and co-operation the past two years. At this time, Mr. Lewis spoke on the joy we receive when helping others and then read a passage from Paul's letters to the Romans. Mrs. George Wright presented Mrs. Cecil Elliott, who was then installed a.s the new president of ' Ontario, Street UCW. ' Mrs. Elliott told of her hopes and plans for the year ahead. Better communication between the local level and Presbyterial level and programs, in the 'unit meetings,. of the work of the United Church so members will be aware what the Church is doing at all levels. To help accomplish this, it was decided to subscribe to Mandate, and 10 copies of each issue will provide some material for the leaders. A Stewardship brochure was given to each one to take home and study. An article from the United Church Observer on the work of the United Church in the World Council of Churches was read by Mrs. H. Plumsteel. The new president asked the cooperation of all members and reminded everyone of the annual Huron -Perth meeting in Seaforth, Jan. 25th. Local Witnesses to gather "To be a teacher of God's Word should be the goal of all true Christians". According to Frank Postill, presiding overseer of Jehovah's Wit- nesses in the Clinton Congregation, the early Christians were teachers. Though their abilities varied, they boldly shared with others what their hope was. Postill stated that Jehovah's Witnesses feel very strongly about the importance of such positive action and try to follow that first century example. To do so effectively requires training, so he is encouraging all Witnesses and their friends in this area to attend a two-day instruction session at the Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses at Norval January 29 and 30. The instruction will include practical talks, interviews and demonstrations on how' all age groups can improve their teaching ability. The highlight of the assembly will be the Bible discourse Sunday at 2 "p.m. entitled "Follow the Way to Life", to be delivered by E. W. Roach, District Overseer, which all in- terested persons , are invited to attend. Jehovah's Witnesses acknowledge that most people in the community have 'some religious affiliation; however, their understanding of the Bible, is very limited,'so by offering our time freely to study with them in their homes, we can help many more people come to an accurate knowledge of the Bible and its hope of lasting peace on this earth. Postill further pointed out that in some countries of Cehtral and South America and Africa Jehovah's. Wit- nesses first teach the people how to read and write so that' a later study of the Bible is possible. This manner of teaching in turn qualifies the student to become a teacher. Strange as it may seem, in some instances the gover- nments of these countries apparently do not appreciate the cultural and moral benefits of such work, nor the fact that those who come to a knowledge of the Bible and its principles lead exemplary lives as law-abiding citizens. They have shown this by placing the activities of such hard-working Christians under ban. Recent examples of such unjust treatment have taken place in Argen- tina, Benin and Malawi. 1876 1976 McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY HEAD OFFICE: 10 MAIN ST., SEAFORTH, ONT Mrs. Margaret Sharp, Sec.

(Expositor photo) I3lindness prevention works says local CNIB president 'No panacea pipe dream - preventiorr of blindness really works. According to Mrs. Gwen Watson, president of the Bluewater , ,Club, The Canadian Council ,of the Blind, early work by a non- medical group banished many causes of blindness from everyday life. In an interview for White Cane Week, Feb. 6-12, sponsored by CCB and The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Mrs. Watson told how' trachoma, now limited to eastern countries, was once a serious 'cause of blindness among Indians in Canada. "CNIB discovered the condition in the 1930s," she explained. Through strong recommendation to the government a doctor was appointed to investigate the problem. He discovered grandmothers:wore kerchiefs around their heads, wiped their trachoma eyes with the kerchief ends and also the faces of their little grand- children, Unknowingly they passed on the germs of trachoma which led to blindness in hundreds of youngsters. Through his work and CNIB, trachoma has disappeared as a cause of blindness:. Even earlier, in the 1920s, a condition known as babies'sore eyes in new born infants caused corneal ulcers and blindness. It affected one third pf the pupils at the school for the blind. CNIB efforts, supported by ' eye doctors and provincial governments, brought about legislation for the compulsory treatment of babies' eyes at cerning an upcoming Beta Sigma Phi convention. Thanks were intended to Wendy Gibbings who represented the chapter in the Winter Carnival Queen contest. The chapter's Yellow Rose Ball, -to be held in April, was discussed, and it was noted that tickets would soon be on sale. The business povtionof the meeting was adjourned and .overyone enjoyed a lunch served by the hetess.

Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, and Smallpox have long since disappeared from the CNIB_ registry. However', today new causes such as Diabetes and Glaucoma are taking thir toll. "That's why most people don't realize prevention practices really work," said Mrs. Watson. She urged every Canadian to keep Canada's sight record high. One project rests with parents. Vaccinate your children against German Measles (Rubella). IT . mothers catch this . disease during pregnancy the babies' may be born blind, retarded or burdened with other disabilities. "This vac- cination is'.a simple means of preserving future Canadians from many handicaps, in- cluding blindness,' she said.
